China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 65 Director Li is an honest man

A good criminal investigation suspense drama!
  Domestic criminal investigation dramas have become very popular in recent years.

A few years ago, "Black Ice", "Black Hole", "The True Colors of a Detective", "Serious Case Group 6" and the low-cost production "I Can't Escape with Wings, Zhang Shihao Just Wants to Make Money" and so on.

These are criminal investigation suspense dramas with very high reputation and quality.

Among them, Black Ice stars Wang Zhiwen, the future seven-time best actor.

Chen Daoming in The Black Hole even contributed to the pinnacle of his career as a villain, playing the role of Nie Mingyu vividly.

Both Chen Daoming and the famous actor Wang Zhiwen like to act in criminal investigation dramas.

First of all, the tension and conflict are strong, and the actors can let go of their hands and feet to give their best. For the powerful actors who love drama, the filming process is a kind of enjoyment.

For the audience, this kind of TV series with the theme of suspense and adventure can throw suspense to the audience in almost every episode, allowing them to step into the perspective of the protagonist, experience the tense and exciting atmosphere, and experience the mystery of solving the mystery layer by layer. A sense of accomplishment.

So when he heard that Li Yu planned to make a criminal investigation drama, Zu Feng was a little excited.

He also wants to be like those famous acting seniors, starring in a very high-quality criminal investigation drama, and experience the pleasure of competing and acting on the same stage with many powerful actors.

"Does Director Li have a prototype in mind? What kind of story is he probably telling?"

Zu Feng's eyes lit up, showing strong interest.

Li Yu was already filled with excitement when he saw Zu Feng. If he didn't break some news, he might not be able to get through today.

Li Yu clenched his hand into a fist and put it to his mouth, coughed a few times, cleared his throat, and then said slowly and slowly: "Li Mingjie, the detective of the mystery investigation team, is a heretic in the police force who is full of distrust of the police. molecular.

In order to make ends meet, he squandered his talents on investigating celebrities' privacy and then selling it to the media.

Until one day, an old radio from more than ten years ago rang, and Li Mingjie contacted Yu Qingfeng, an old detective who was active in the 1980s and 1990s, through the wireless set.

Two people, two time and space, intertwined to solve cases and solve unsolved mysteries in the past..."

That's right, this is the criminal investigation suspense drama "Signal" which has received a high score of 9.2 points from more than viewers.

Zu Feng was shocked after listening to Li Yu's short explanation.

Li Yu can indeed write good scripts, and his judgment is very accurate.

Li Yu just gave a general background introduction and a short section, and he was already very surprised.

In two time and space, a young detective and a middle-aged detective jointly solved the mystery through a wireless connection.

This idea is really big. Among the criminal investigation dramas that Zu Feng has learned about, it seems that there is no such thing in the mainland, and Li Yu is the first.

If Li Yu makes this script, he will definitely be an innovator in mainland criminal investigation dramas, providing a new creative idea in the field of criminal investigation dramas.

Just like Full House and Goblin .

Domestic idol drama colleagues are still writing stories about CEOs and Cinderella falling in love.

Li Yu has completed innovation last year and began to play a variant of the domineering president routine, replacing the boss with a big star.

He didn't wait for his peers to catch up with Li Yu.

Li Yu's Ghost has once again started to play the fantasy love routine of a super-powered ghost falling in love with a little girl, taking another step forward on the road to the mutant version of the domineering president.

To quote Li Yu, I borrowed a classic line from Chu Yunfei, leader of the Bingzhou Army of the Han Dynasty, to comment on Li Yu, "You can always come up with something new for me."

"Director Li, when will your criminal investigation drama be put on the agenda?"

Zu Feng is already gearing up.

The old detective's name is Yu Qingfeng.

With the word "wind" in his name, you can tell at a glance that this is a role tailor-made for him.

It's exciting to think about two time and space working together to solve a crime.

"Just wait, I will shoot it within this year.

It's just that before filming "Signal", I may have to film another idol drama.

Regardless of whether I made a lot of money from Full House or Gossip, the payback cycle is actually slow.

Full House sold the rights for two and three rounds of broadcasts, and some TV stations have not yet given our company the final payment. The ghost side has just started, and it will take several months or more than half a year to expect the ghost to bring a lot of revenue to the company.

I want to make a criminal investigation drama with a movie-quality quality, but the cost is much higher than that of an idol drama.

The cost should be at least 15 million to 20 million, and it is best to have a budget of 20 million.

I want to use this "Signal" to compete for the Feitian Award. "

What Li Yu said was the truth.

Full House brought tens of millions in revenue to Hualiu Company on its books.

However, many funds are still in the repayment stage and have not been fully repaid.

Previously, Li Yu spent 7 million to buy two courtyard houses and invested in Guiguai.

Goblin has just premiered, and the balance of the first-round broadcast rights has not been settled on Xiangnan TV and Hanbei TV. The balance will have to wait until Goblin finishes airing.

At the beginning of the year, Li Yu felt a lot of pressure to spend 15 million to 20 million to shoot signals.

Let’s put it in the second half of the year.

By then the final payment for Full House has been basically settled, and the follow-up income from Ghosts has caught up, and there will be enough capital to support Li Yu's ambitions.

Prior to this, Li Yu planned to start another idol drama, and while laying a solid foundation for Hwaliu Company through primitive accumulation, he would also clean up all the routines of Silla idol dramas.

Full House changed the previous tragic model of idol dramas.

"Goblin" contains Chuxue Ge, which is a masterpiece that integrates a large number of classic routines from later Silla idol dramas.

By the way, Li Yu filmed this drama this year and is considered one of the pioneers of magical love dramas.

There may have been people who tried magical romance dramas before Li Yu, but none of them had ghosts and ghosts. Li Yu was the one who really made this branch shine.

For the third idol drama, Lee Yoo decided to shoot "My Love from the Star", the most popular and out-of-the-circle movie in Silla's history, which is truly popular all over Asia.

Bring all the fried chicken stalks.

Li Yu used three idol dramas to complete all the classic plots and routines of Silla idol dramas, making all future Silla idol dramas inseparable from his shadow.

I wonder if Li Yu will be called the father of idol dramas in the future.

After filming the last My Love from the Star, Hualiu Company will not give up on the production of idol dramas.

Li Yu can find a tool director, give him the script, and let him shoot.

Make money, don’t be shabby!
  It's just that as an ambitious director, Li Yu should not touch idol dramas again after filming My Love from the Star.

He has to get rid of his identity as an idol drama director and move in a higher direction.

"Okay, until Director Li gives me the signal to start filming, I will stay in the school and teach with peace of mind."

Zu Feng was very interested in Li Yu's signal, and he did not plan to accept any invitations from outside.

Hiding in school to teach, polish my acting skills, and at the same time reduce the popularity after playing the role of a ghost.

"What about me? Don't I have a hand in the signal?"

Liu Shishi has been listening to the conversation between Zu Feng and Li Yu.

She's not happy anymore, how can we do it without her?

"This is a criminal investigation and suspense drama. Every actor has to find an acting talent. You don't have such a thing as acting skills."

Li Yu put on a smile, but stabbed Liu Shishi the hardest in the heart.

"..."

Liu Shishi's heart ached, she regretted it, she shouldn't have asked.

Director Li is also serious, why are you so sincere? You have to tell the truth that hurts people.

　In the future, the update time will be changed to 12 noon, so that it does not need to change after it is put on the shelves.
