China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 572 Transformed into a sad baby?
"Brother Jing, maybe Director Guo simply has high hopes for you, so don't think too much about it." Li Yu couldn't say that Guo Fan wanted to trick Wu Jing by not only making him work for free, but also planning to make him pay to work, right?
“I don’t think it’s that simple, I’m just an actor.

What's the point of him believing in me? No matter how well I act, I can't bring in 40 or 50 billion at the box office. I suspect he might have some conspiracy."

Wu Jing's intuition told him that things were not that simple.

"What are you afraid of? You are the champion of the national martial arts elite competition. Even if ten of them were tied together, they would not be enough for you to beat." Li Yu said.

"..." Wu Jing thought about it carefully and found that what Li Yu said made sense.

Although modern martial arts are incomparable to the ancient murderous martial arts, for a martial artist like him, it would not be a problem to beat a few Guo Fans.

"Director Li, I find what you said makes a lot of sense. You're right, he can't beat me, so I don't need to be afraid of him." Wu Jing felt that he had figured it out.

Li Yu smiled without saying anything. Meeting a big liar like Guo Fan, Wu Jingwu was nothing.

Guo Fan could fool him with just his words, and he wouldn't even have a chance to fight back.

In fact, this is how the story unfolds.

Guo Fan continued to fool people every day, saying how awesome the movie "The Wandering Earth" was and that he was going to arrange an explosive scene for Wu Jing.

Guo Fan was bragging while drinking with Wu Jing.

After drinking for a while and creating a good atmosphere, Guo Fan revealed his true intentions: "Brother, we don't have enough money. The opportunity to open the door to domestic science fiction films is right in front of us.

You are the one who holds the key now. If you are willing to invest some money, we can continue to make movies. By then, the box office will reach billions, which will definitely make you a lot of money. If you are not willing to invest money..."

Under Guo Fan's deception, Wu Jing was confused and actually agreed to invest 60 million.

Afterwards, Wu Jing found out that he had been cheated by a liar.

Of course, these are all exaggerated and sarcastic statements.

Anyway, Wu Jing invested money in the end.

“It’s over, I really met a liar this time, and I was brainwashed by him.

I actually invested 60 million in him. Even my wife thought I was crazy.

Before joining the crew, I told my wife that I was acting to make money.

In the end, I didn’t make a penny, and I even invested 60 million.”

Wu Jing complained to Li Yu.

"Then why don't you beat him up?" Li Yu teased.

"I can't fight him now. I've given him all the money. If I accidentally use too much force and cripple him, how will I get my 60 million back?" Wu Jing said helplessly.

I just happened to come here to chat with Li Yu about "The Glory of Tang Dynasty".

She heard every word of the conversation between Li Yu and Wu Jing.

She couldn't read it, but she was shocked.

There is such a deceptive director in the world, even more deceptive than Li Yu.

Li Yu's deception was just to whet her appetite with the "Great Wall" plan, which was launched many years later. He did not trick her into investing money.

Instead, she often held up money and asked Li Yu why "The Great Wall" had not been filmed yet.

"Brother Jing is so stupid. The money in his pocket could be swindled away by others. Six hundred yuan would be fine, but that was real 60 million." Da Tiantian said in shock.

"He's not stupid, he's just being ungrateful. According to gossip, he doesn't have good taste, but his wife has good brains and good taste.

Do you think he didn’t ask his wife’s opinion before investing 60 million in Director Guo? It must have been his wife who made the final decision before the money reached Director Guo’s hands.”

Li Yu had seen through it long ago.

Later, many people said that Wu Jing's luck suddenly changed and he started to make a comeback, which had a lot to do with marrying a good wife. Before that, Wu Jing's vision and operation were extremely poor. He joined the Fruit Army in 1949 and plunged into Hong Kong when the Hong Kong film industry was at its lowest point, which was evidence of his poor performance.

He and his wife got married in 14. Not long after their marriage, "Wolf Warrior" was released and their counterattack began.

His resurgence in popularity and counterattack really coincided with the timing of his marriage.

So we can’t blame so many people for thinking that he was able to make a comeback with the help of his virtuous wife.

Of course, these are just rumors in the underworld. Only the people involved know what exactly is going on.

As for rumors, they are always one-tenth true and nine-tenths false, and can only be used for fun.

Da Tiantian was very surprised: "These people are all movie stars, right? Is Brother Jing pretending to be a pig to eat the tiger?"

"That can't be said. It's possible that this is the case. Brother Jing was really fooled by Director Guo in the beginning.

After some research, he and his wife found that "The Wandering Earth" was really worth investing in, so they invested 60 million yuan.

There is an old saying that it takes two to tango. Ask Director Guo to try someone else.

If the person he meets has no intention to invest, his ability to bring the dead back to life will be useless.”

Li Yu gave Da Tiantian a brief analysis.

He personally believes that this may be the truth closest to reality.

Li Yu was very considerate. He was afraid that Da Tiantian would not understand, so he gave an example that Da Tiantian could understand: "Just like you kept urging me to shoot The Great Wall before, if I really didn't want to shoot it, you could keep urging me for a lifetime and The Great Wall would never appear."

"I understand. This is what is called two-phase running." Da Tiantian understood it all at once.

"Have you bought "The Glory of Tang Dynasty"? " Li Yu asked again.

Li Yu established the Dream Association. In addition to supporting new directors and screenwriters and making contributions to the film and television industry, he must have had his own agenda.

Once the association is established, he will have the opportunity to grab a bunch of excellent scripts first.

"I've already bought it. I paid twice the market price. Didn't you say you wanted to support screenwriters? If I give you twice the price, does that count as raising their status?" Da Tiantian said generously.

"Of course. If screenwriters' income is high, more talented people will become screenwriters.

But I don't recommend you to spend money to raise their value.

As long as their authorship rights are not taken away by big screenwriters and their works perform well after being broadcast, their prices will naturally go up, and only in this way can a healthy development be achieved.”

Li Yu said.

The people from Silla next door always have a mysterious self-confidence and think that everything in the world belongs to them.

In the film and television industry, they are indeed doing better than in China, and not just a little better.

The status of top screenwriters in the television industry over there can be higher than that of directors, and the income from producing a hit drama can be higher than that of the leading actor.

When screenwriters can make money, they are of course motivated to write good scripts.

In the future, Li Yu plans to refer to the model there. Screenwriters are just like actors. As long as the script is good, it is not impossible to negotiate dividends.

The screenwriter will make more money, but Li Yu will definitely not lose money.

"Do you think I should have had a buried suture eyelid surgery before filming The Glory of Tang Dynasty? It's too troublesome and uncomfortable to put on double eyelid tape just to look good on camera during filming.

Filming a movie is fine, it takes a short time and can be tolerated, but filming a TV series can take several months or half a year, which is really troublesome. "

Da Tiantian asked.

Li Yu suddenly thought of Da Tiantian's sad frog. It saved him some trouble, but it crippled himself.
