China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 543 The True Ending and the False Ending
"Gao Qiqiang, Dasao, and Tang Xiaolong were the first roles to be decided. If you pay attention, you will find that the actors of these three roles are all from my alma mater, Beijing Film Academy. I want to give more praise to the outstanding actors from my alma mater.

When I contacted Zhang Yi, Mr. Zhang had already signed the contract. So everything you just said is false information.

The entertainment industry is like this, with lots of insider revelations and mysterious rumors.

But most of them are fake news that cannot stand up to scrutiny and are just used by some people to attract attention.”

Li Yu said it himself.

What he said was equivalent to adding a layer of proof to what Zhang Yi had just said.

The ridiculous saying that Zhang Songwen snatched the role from Zhang Yi and Zhang Yi helped to raise the profile of Zhang Songwen can be put to an end completely.

"Let's talk about the relevant content of Kuang Biao and stop worrying about those false news that are totally fabricated." Li Yu said again.

He even asked these reporters to talk about things related to Kuang Biao.

If anyone tries to divert the topic towards something that could provoke conflict, don't blame him for ending the interview immediately.

After Li Yu's warning, these reporters indeed behaved much better and some normal problems arose.

"Director Li, I heard that the investment this time reached 5 million, this number is too scary.

The investment budget for a super blockbuster is just this much. Isn’t there any risk in investing such a large amount? Aren’t you afraid of losing money?”

"What is risk? What is loss? I have been a director for so many years and have never experienced what it feels like to suffer a loss." Li Yu shrugged, confidence radiating from the inside out.

Such Versailles words made people around him think that Li Yu was very arrogant.

But they couldn't refute it because Li Yuzhen had the capital to be arrogant.

Now in the Internet age, Li Yu's achievements are publicly available.

Li Yu has indeed never lost money since his debut.

Even early art films that lost money in China but won awards abroad could still make a lot of money by selling copyrights.

Just when everyone thought Li Yu was too arrogant, Li Yu suddenly became modest and said slowly: "What I said just now did seem a little arrogant."

Others: “…”

Are you a little crazy? You are almost crazy to the sky.

"This person's mind is still very clear. One cannot rest on his laurels.

I will take "The Storm" more seriously than before, and I hope to make a good drama that will satisfy the audience.

I want to keep the record of not losing money, what if one day I can no longer maintain the record?

I hope you won’t laugh at me, because no one can stay strong forever.”

Li Yu turned so fast that they couldn't keep up with his pace.

One second he was crazy as hell, and the next second he was full of positive energy.

“Many people who don’t know the inside story may think that “Kuang Biao” is just a modern drama and it doesn’t cost 5 million yuan. The 5 million yuan is just a gimmick.

I think it is not an exaggeration to say that it cost 5 million to shoot "Kung Fu". It is true that "Kung Fu" is a modern drama, but "Kung Fu" tells a story that starts in 2000.

In order to capture the feeling of the 2000s, the money spent on costumes, sets, and filming is more than that of ordinary historical dramas or costume dramas.

We customized 2000 to sets of costumes with s characteristics alone, and there are countless props besides costumes.”

Li Yu said this to advertise the drama "Kuang Biao".

He wanted to tell everyone that the preparation for this drama was very thorough and the production was definitely one of the best in the industry. "Teacher Zhang, are you confident that you can play the role of Gao Qiqiang well? We have all read the script that has been leaked on the Internet.

Although the leaked scripts are incomplete, we can still see that Gao Qiqiang's role is very important. "

"I will try my best to play this role well. Director Li is willing to give me such an important role, which shows his trust in me. I cannot let Director Li down." Gao Qiqiang's attitude was extremely firm.

Someone else asked, “Director Li, you just said that Gao Qiqiang, Dasao, and Tang Xiaolong were the first three roles to be decided.

Without exception, the actors who played these three roles all graduated from Beijing Film Academy, just like you.

I’m curious if you chose them because they were right for the role or because they were alumni of yours.”

This question is of high quality, very tricky, and very reasonable.

Didn't Li Yu say before that he only chooses the right actors, not based on connections? What happened this time? Why did he use three actors from Beijing Film Academy at once?

“Everyone can look forward to this work of Kuang Biao. I can promise you that I chose them because the three of them fit the role very well.

If they are not suitable, I will not choose them even if they are actors from Beijing Film Academy. "

Li Yu is very confident about these.

The three roles played by Zhang Songwen, Gao Ye and Lin Jiachuan have all been verified by the audience.

Zhang Songwen’s Gao Qiqiang doesn’t seem like an actor. Gao Ye’s sister-in-law is very elegant and has a lot of highlights.

Lin Jiachuan's Tang Xiaolong is also very good.

The problem with Tang Xiaolong is not the actor's problem. Just like Wu Gang's character, it is the screenwriter's fault.

After Tang Xiaolong was released from prison, Gao Qiqiang gave him a game hall that earned him tens of thousands of yuan a month.

After following Gao Qiqiang for more than ten years and becoming the real big brother who drives a G-Pame, he actually did the work of a younger brother himself. Not only did he lend money himself, he also forced people to sell blood to pay the interest, for fear that others would not be able to find evidence of his crime. It is really outrageous.

This may be related to the fact that Gao Qiqiang must fall in the future.

If Gao Qiqiang and Tang Xiaolong were both cleared of all charges, and all the dirty work was handed over to the people below them so that they could distance themselves from the issue at the critical moment, then this drama probably wouldn't pass muster.

It is also for this reason that many viewers said that when Gao Qiqiang stopped his luxury car in front of An Xin, who was directing traffic, the real rush was over.

The subsequent plot is just An Xin's fantasy.

The audience’s comments are not without reason.

Li Yu optimized the plot where Tang Xiaolong personally went to collect debts and forced people to sell blood to pay interest. As for the ending, he couldn't change it, and Gao Qiqiang still ended up in jail.

However, he could consider creating a hidden ending on Station A.

When the project of this drama was just beginning, CCTV contacted Hualiu Company.

They expressed their interest in this kind of crime drama, and Li Yu gave them a favor.

The main reason is that this drama has a lot of plots and has won the support of CCTV.

Li Yu doesn't want to make a bad version of Storm.

After the press conference ended, Kuang Biao officially started filming.

Scene 1, Scene 1, in the vegetable market, Gao Qiqiang appears on stage and Zhang Songwen is about to begin his performance.

He will use his acting skills to prove that his stay in the seafood market a few days ago was not a show, but he was really studying the role.
