China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 615

On the 27th, Li Yu arrived at the premiere of "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to Yumen" as scheduled.

Not only Li Yu, many celebrities in the circle came.

Chen Kaige’s circle of friends is still very powerful.

It is worth mentioning that the national teacher also came.

He was not called by Li Yu, but invited by Chen Kaige.

The national master was not seen at Chen Kaige’s previous premieres.

As for the reason, everyone who knows it knows it. The relationship between them is very subtle.

This time, Chen Kaige invited the imperial master for the first time.

The reason why he invited the national master was very simple. He was very confident in the film "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to Yumen".

He had to ask the national master to come to the scene in person to see what kind of abilities China's number one director should possess.

That’s right, in Chen Kaige’s heart, he is the number one director in China.

It's just that he didn't say it verbally. He himself knew that if he said such words, others would not agree with him and would even laugh at him.

However, he will use practical actions to prove that he can take back what he lost with his own hands.

The national master was quite considerate, and he could roughly guess what Chen Kaige was thinking of showing off his new film to him.

But he still came because he was very curious about what kind of movie Chen Kaige and Li Yu could make this time.

If this movie is really good, it can put some pressure on him and make him more cautious and attentive when filming "Green Book" next time.

Only a strong opponent will force you to improve.

There are no more competitors, no more pressure, and people start to play badly, so naturally they can’t produce good works.

"Director Zhang, you are here too." When Li Yu saw the national master for the first time, he almost thought he had recognized the wrong person.

"Director Chen invited me. If I didn't come, many false rumors would appear in the outside world." The national master replied.

"When you come, a lot of false rumors will appear. This is the celebrity effect. A very small thing will be magnified infinitely because you are a celebrity," said Li Yu.

"When will your Aquaman 2 be filmed? I saw Warner announced to the outside world that the director of Aquaman 2 must be you, and they will definitely not change it." The national teacher asked curiously.

Huana would say this publicly because the news of a minor disagreement between them and Li Yu spread to Hollywood and eventually to the Internet.

A large group of DC fans were fed up and asked about this issue under Warner's social account.

The matter has become quite serious, and there may be competitors working secretly. If left unchecked, it will have a negative impact on Huana.

I finally fought a good battle, but then news came out that I had a falling out with the director. How embarrassing would that be?
To put it mildly, DC fans are unhappy.

Generally speaking, the success of "Aquaman 1" has driven up the stock price of Warner's parent company to a certain extent. The disagreement with the director may cause people to be pessimistic about Warner's next film plans, thereby causing the stock price to fall.

So a public statement is very necessary.

They didn't say anything final in their public statement, just that they would definitely not change the director.

Because it depends on Li Yu's attitude. If Li Yu is unwilling to shoot the second part, they don't have the ability to force Li Yu to shoot it.

It’s not like the Hong Kong entertainment industry of the past, where people could come to Li Yu’s house in the middle of the night to offer warmth and force Li Yu to choose between money and rice-style Iai.

"Aquaman 1 can only be considered passable. If it is remade, it will easily be bad. I don't want to make a second one." Li Yu spoke the truth.

"What a pity." The national teacher felt that Li Yu was wasting resources.

When someone makes a popular series, they try their best to make the most of it. For example, Wang Jing has to keep making the most of it even after 20 or 30 years.

"Aquaman 2" is likely to be bad, so we can reduce costs and be more conservative.

As long as you are steady, you should still be able to make money even if your results are not as good as No. 1.

Li Yu, on the other hand, actually gave up directly. He was really willful.

However, Li Yu did have the capital to be confident, and he had to admit that.

On the stage, leading actors including Chen Kaige and Huang Xiaoming were talking about the filming story and selling points of the movie.

Li Yu and the national teacher were chatting in the audience.

In the blink of an eye, it was time for the final screening.

On the way to the cinema, the national teacher asked Li Yu: "Director Li, what do you think of Director Chen's movie? How does it compare to my "Investiture of the Gods"? "

"Just look at how confident Director Chen is, he even invited you to attend the premiere. Also, the two movies are different. If you have to compare them, it's like Guan Gong fighting Qin Qiong, there's no telling which is better." Li Yu replied.

"Investiture of the Gods" and "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to Yumen" are actually not of the same genre, and Li Yu believes that there is no need to compare them together.

"Fengshen" is a heavy industrial film in the Hollywood model, and its advantages lie in its special effects and grand scenes.

"The Thirteen Soldiers Return to Yumen" also has special effects scenes, and the special effects are very expensive, but the special effects of this movie are closer to reality, and it is a historical war blockbuster with the story as the main story and special effects as the supplement.

When we arrived at the cinema, the film officially started playing.

The media and netizens have almost dug up the content of the story. After all, the story told in the movie is already in history books.

At the beginning of the movie, the Eastern Han Dynasty established the Protectorate of the Western Regions and appointed Geng Gong and Guan Chong to garrison the Western Regions.

As I said, as long as Chen Kaige doesn’t touch the script, he is a reliable and good director.

In the following time, Chen Kaige told everyone a wonderful story with pictures and lines.

The Northern Xiongnu Chanyu sent troops to attack the Cheshi Kingdom, which had surrendered to the Eastern Han Dynasty, and even the king was killed.

With this victory, the morale of the Northern Huns was high, and they surrounded Geng Gong's garrison with the advantage of tens of thousands of troops.

The exciting offensive and defensive tug-of-war and the war scenes were so exciting that people could only exclaim that they were thrilled.

In particular, the city built by Chen Kaige, the entertainment industry's top architect, is very eye-catching.

In addition to the excellent war scenes, the literary drama of this movie is not weak at all.

Before the Northern Huns attacked the city, Li Yu added a negotiation scene, in which the envoy of the Northern Huns came to Geng Gong, played by Huang Xiaoming, with an arrogant attitude and said: "The Cheshi Kingdom has been destroyed. When the city was broken, no one was left alive.

Our Great Chanyu hopes that you can recognize the current situation, otherwise when the city is captured, your heads will all be piled up into a Jingguan."

Geng Gong, played by Huang Xiaoming, very domineeringly rejected the Northern Huns' envoy's persuasion to surrender, and chopped the man off on the spot, saying that a Han general would never surrender to barbarians.

If they want to fight, then they can fight. The Han army is not afraid of death and will not give up an inch of Han land.

Although it is a literary drama, it gives people a very exciting feeling.

When Huang Xiaoming meets a great director and acts seriously, he can show excellent acting skills.

The character Geng Gong he played brought out the domineering spirit and vigor of the Han Dynasty's one Han man against five Barbarians.

If I had to give a score, Li Yu would give it nine points.

This nine points is absolutely a real score. It is not because Li Yu and Huang Xiaoming know each other that he deliberately gave a high score.
