China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 579: The Big Poster of the Dragon Role
Li Yuzhen stayed in the crew of "The Wandering Earth" for three days.

Guo Fan arranged a cameo role for him as a forklift driver.

After editing, his appearance in the movie is maybe five or six seconds, but he doesn't have a single line.

All we can say is that Li Yu’s guest appearance is more gimmicky than practical significance.

For such a small role with only a few seconds of screen time, Guo Fan actually asked Li Yu to take a big poster, and then put Li Yu's big poster up during the subsequent promotion.

"Director Guo, aren't you a fraud? You gave me such a big poster.

When it comes to watching the movie, the audience probably won’t be able to find me unless they slow down the movie several times.” Li Yu couldn’t help but complain.

"I didn't commit fraud. I just said that you played a cameo role, but I didn't say that your role was important." Guo Fan replied.

As if thinking of something, Guo Fan said, "Director Li, the flight is this afternoon, right? Let's have lunch first."

Looking at the heroic way Guo Fan spoke, it really seemed like Mr. Guo was going to pay for the whole evening.

Wu Jing and other actors were delighted.

Normally, when the manure cart was pushed past the crew's door, Guo Fan would reach out and taste the manure to test its saltiness before letting it go.

The stingy director who only takes in money and never spends today actually spent money to treat everyone to a meal. It's really like the sun rising in the west.

But considering that Li Yu is leaving.

It was reasonable for Guo Fan to treat Li Yu to a meal before he left.

However, people still underestimated Cyber ​​Daji's operations.

It turns out that Liu Cixin, the author of "The Wandering Earth", came to visit the set today.

Guo Fan cried poor in front of Liu Cixin, saying that the crew was almost penniless and could not even make ends meet.

Liu couldn't bear it and spent 200,000 yuan to buy lunch boxes for the crew.

Li Yu also ate the same lunch box.

This operation is worthy of being the beggar among the seven generations of directors. Everyone who passes by has to give him 200 yuan as a share, otherwise he can't escape.

Wu Jing complained to Li Yu about Guo Fan again: "See, I didn't slander him. No matter who it is, as long as they join this crew, they can't escape without leaving something behind."

"Brother Jing, you can't say that. Director Guo accepted your investment, made you the protagonist, and arranged for you to have that scene of igniting Jupiter, which was still very exciting." Li Yu said.

Li Yu watched the scene where Wu Jing burned Jupiter yesterday and it was really exciting.

It will be even more exciting with the addition of special effects and editing.

It's hard to criticize Wu Jing. He has to admit that Guo Fan was very kind to him and gave him the most exciting and touching scenes in the whole movie.

He started out as a guest star, and eventually became the leading actor.

However, the character of Liu Qi, who played Wu Jing's son in the movie, was supposed to be the leading male role, but ended up playing a supporting role.

"I now realize that I have found the right direction. I feel that I am quite suitable for playing this kind of role, and I should play more of this type in the future," said Wu Jing.

Li Yu smiled and said nothing.

Can he say that this is a double-edged sword? Aiguo has played many roles, and the label of Wolf Warrior has become a stereotype.

If he shows even the slightest bit of dislike for the character later on, the Wolf Warrior character will become extremely awkward, and become a negative label that cannot be shaken off. "Director Li, do you think there's a problem?" Wu Jing saw what Li Yu wanted to say, but he held it back.

"Nothing, I just want to say that you've been out of fashion for so many years, and it's not easy to find a way that suits you again. You finally made it through."

Li Yu didn't want to tell Wu Jing that if he continued to play this kind of role, it would bring huge backlash in the future.

The greater the sweetness he tastes at the beginning, the greater the backlash will be later.

However, Wu Jing and Li Yu’s relationship is not as good as Da Tiantian’s.

Even if you speak such a truth, people may not like to hear it.

After so many years of failure, they finally found a track that could get them back to the top. If you ask them to be more cautious and take fewer roles of this kind in the future, will they really listen?

In other people's eyes, this is an important role that saved their careers and is their savior.

Also, if you advise people to take less roles like this, then what type of role should you recommend them to play?
What if the new type suggested by Li Yu makes Wu Jing fail?
Looking back, should we blame Li Yu? There was a simple and fast track but we didn't suggest him to rush. Instead, we forced him to take a new track, which resulted in him falling.

If things go wrong, people might even blame Li Yu.

To sum up, hearing those truths would do no good to Li Yu, and might even cause great harm.

Seeing that he couldn't get any useful information out of Li Yu, Wu Jing had to give up.

He could tell that what Li Yu wanted to say at first was definitely not what he had just said.

After eating a box lunch on the crew, Li Yu left for Beijing.

His guest appearance in "The Wandering Earth" attracted quite a bit of attention.

Almost at the same time that Li Yu left, Guo Fan asked the official account of "The Wandering Earth" to post a promotional poster of Li Yu wearing a red ground protection suit.

After netizens discovered this, they immediately started a discussion.

"I thought Director Li was just visiting the set, but I didn't expect him to make a cameo appearance? As a die-hard fan, I remember it very clearly. This should be the second time Director Li appeared on the screen.

The last time was a long time ago in "Dreaming in the Movie Circle". Director Li was beaten by Xia Luo in the movie and said a classic line that he felt like he was living in the other person's shadow.

I found that Director Li’s acting skills are actually very good, and he can beat many actors.”

"Let me give you some general knowledge about the above. Great directors usually have good acting skills. This is because the profession of director itself requires a very comprehensive understanding of the role. In addition, they spend years interacting with actors on the set, explaining the scenes to them, and demonstrating to them."

"I remember that there were several directors who were officially announced to make cameo appearances in The Wandering Earth. Does Guo Fan have some weird hobby? Is he a director collector? Only Guo Fan could find a bunch of directors to make cameo appearances."

A wave of waves has risen again.

Soon, another rumor was revealed that Wu Jing was originally only there to make a cameo appearance in "The Wandering Earth" and had been on the crew for a month, but had not yet finished his performance and had to shoot for two more days before he could leave.

The news that Liu Cixin visited the crew and spent 200,000 yuan to buy lunch boxes for the crew was also revealed.

Director Guo Fan’s character of the beggar among beggars was established immediately.

"I can only say 66666. Wu Jing was a guest actor who became the protagonist, but he didn't get a penny of salary. Instead, he lost million. Liu Cixin didn't get any free lunch when he visited the crew, and he lost yuan in lunch money. I want to ask if Guo Fan is particularly tough? Would ordinary people really not get beaten to death if they played like this?"

"It's so funny. Who gave him this nickname? They actually called him the seventh generation beggar among beggars."

"I can prove that these revelations are true. I know someone who worked as a crew member. This person said that Guo Fan not only took advantage of Wu Jing and Liu Cixin, but also took advantage of everyone he could, even veteran actors. He is really crazy."
