China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 630: Science Fiction World's Dream of the Entertainment Industry

"Li Yu, I'm really curious, can't these directors see that the movie they're making is a terrible bad one?" Da Tiantian asked with a confused look on her face.

Just now, Director Fuji was standing on the stage and talking excitedly about how awesome this movie is.

That confidence radiates from within and doesn't seem like acting at all.

He really thinks his movie is a great science fiction blockbuster.

"99% of people really can't tell, because people who work in the arts are more confident. Let me give you an easy-to-understand example.

For a director, a work is like the child he gave birth to after ten months of pregnancy. There are very few mothers in the world who think their children are ugly.

Even if the child is born ugly, he will say that his child looks classy.

Also, when a director has made a successful work, he will gather a group of flatterers around him.

Even if they can see that the director's children are ugly and know that the so-called sense of sophistication is just a fig leaf, they dare not expose it for the sake of their jobs and future.

To put it bluntly, this is the same as the emperor's new clothes. An emperor is naked and says he is wearing the most unique clothes in the world.

Whoever dares to be the first to say that the emperor is naked will be immediately punished as the first to do so. "

Li Yu said with a smile.

Da Tiantian suddenly realized what was going on.

From the perspective of what Li Yu said, it is really reasonable that the director did not know that he had made a bad movie.

It’s your own work. When you look at your own work, there are filters and a group of people praising it around you.

Da Tiantian reasonably suspects that even after the movie is released, countless viewers will give it bad reviews.

Those people around the director will still flatter him, saying that those who give bad reviews are not real audiences, but water armies or trolls hired by competitors.

In fact, this is often the case in the circle.

When a director or an actor is criticized for their new work, their first reaction is to feel that they are being criticized, and they are unable to recognize their own problems at the first time.

Some of those who did not go astray were more receptive to advice and were able to recognize their mistakes and correct them afterwards.

After becoming arrogant, they continue to do as they please, without feeling that there is anything wrong with them.

Well, this law also applies to the movie "Fortress of Devil City".

When it comes to the guest comments, the fun begins again.

Guo Fan also came, but he didn't sit with Li Yu and Da Tiantian.

When Director Fuji asked Guo Fan to talk about his views on "The Fortress of Devil City", Guo Fan felt complicated.

But since his name has been called, he has to save face no matter what.

So, he took the microphone and his brain was working quickly: "Like Director Fuji, I can understand how difficult it is to persist for so many years. Because there are so many special effects shots, and behind each special effects shot is the sweat of countless people.

Especially when we saw the last subtitles, we realized that so many people had contributed behind the scenes.

All the staff worked hard and have a clear conscience. Finally, I wish "Fortress of Magic City" a big hit. Thank you."

After finishing his speech, Guo Fan sat down directly.

Because it's so hard to praise this movie that has no merits. It's harder than eating shit.

Da Tiantian couldn't help but say after hearing such comments: "It can be seen that Director Guo's heart is really complicated. He only talked about the difficulties of the staff behind the scenes, and he didn't mention a word about the plot and details of the movie.

That's right, there's no point mentioning such a terrible movie, any part of it is full of flaws."

Apart from Guo Fan, other industry insiders at the scene did not have such high emotional intelligence, or in other words, they wanted to be the ministers in the story of the emperor's new clothes. Even though they knew the film was bad, they still had to give it a good review.

Because they can't afford to offend Huayi and Director Teng, so as I said, they have to save face.

When Li Yu saw this scene, he couldn't help but sigh that it was really sad.

There is not even one person who dares to tell the truth.

When someone brought the topic to Li Yu and asked him to talk about his impressions after watching the film, he sighed and said disappointedly: "I won't comment."

Li Yu's answer could not satisfy the media at the scene, nor could it satisfy Director Fuji.

Director Fuji is extremely confident in his movie, and he has just received praise from a number of industry insiders.

The scene where everything is thriving and full of vitality is right before our eyes.

He couldn't help but ask Li Yu in person: "Director Li, in the field of science fiction films, you are a senior who is ahead of the curve. Just speak your mind. We can learn from each other and make progress together."

"Forget it. My evaluation is different from everyone else's just now. Director Fuji, you just need to listen to their evaluations." Li Yu refused again.

But Director Teng refused to give in and insisted on asking Li Yu for his evaluation.

It feels like Li Yu will not be let go unless he makes a few comments on him.

Li Yu was speechless, thinking that there really were such weird people in the world who stretched their heads out to him for a slap.

If you really ask him to comment, he will definitely tell the truth.

Because he doesn't want to become a laughing stock like those experts and bigwigs who praised "Dreaming of Show Business".

"Director Teng, are you sure you really want me to comment? My comments are a bit sharp, and you may not be able to accept them." Li Yu confirmed again.

Director Fuji remains confident, and he sincerely believes that his "Fortress of the Devil" is great.

Later, people generally recognized that this movie was a bad movie, but he still insisted that it was not that bad.

Well, since he said so, Li Yu won’t be polite with him.

“Since Director Fuji and everyone else asked me to comment on this movie, I will comment on it.

The themes of this movie are science fiction, war, and love. Excuse me for being frank, but as far as science fiction war films are concerned, this movie has stepped on all the landmines of this genre.

Speaking of romance movies, he has the self-awareness to not even dare to release them during the Chinese Valentine's Day.

If such a movie is worthy of being called China's epic science fiction blockbuster and can still be recognized by people, then I would like to say that China's science fiction films have not disappointed.

Because this is just a terrible movie that is completely useless. I don't recommend any audience to watch this movie in the cinema. Apart from the special effects, watching this movie is a complete waste of time.

I'm done, that's my assessment of the film, I think it's the science fiction equivalent of Show Business."

Li Yu told the truth.

"!!!"

After Li Yu finished speaking, the scene fell into a brief silence.

Director Fuji was completely stunned, with complex emotions such as fear, shock, confusion, and anger intertwined in his heart.

No matter what, he is a director who has made some classic works. Li Yu actually compared his "The Fortress" with Director Bi's "Dreaming of Show Business Circle", which is the biggest insult to him.

No matter how you curse someone, you can't curse them so dirty, right?
Those who had just arrived to flatter and praise were also very confused. They didn't expect that everyone was just playing with social conventions, but Li Yu was actually serious about it.
