China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 653 East Palace
In addition to lamenting that he must make a few good films, the national teacher also noticed Li Yu's extremely pretentious Versailles speech.

"The Thief" is just the initial version for Li Yu.

It’s really too extraordinary. It feels like if 298 is like this, then 998 won’t be able to take off.

After sending the imperial master away, Li Yu continued to polish the script of "Thief".

He must make this movie well. Even if he cannot regain the top spot in the domestic box office, the results cannot be too bad.

Otherwise, he, a director who has created many historical records, will become a thing of the past.

While Li Yu continued to polish his new script, he received another invitation.

Lin Chaoxian invited him to attend the premiere of "Operation Red Sea".

Li Yu is the investor and screenwriter of this film. He will not only attend the premiere, but also appear as a member of the behind-the-scenes production team.

Li Yu originally wanted to refuse.

He really didn't contribute much to the movie "Operation Red Sea".

At that time, the leaders of the relevant departments found him and wanted him to be the director of this film which had certain publicity significance.

He thought at the time that since he had already snatched Lin Chaoxian's "Operation Nujiang River", there was no need to snatch someone else's "Operation Red Sea".

He recommended Lin Chaoxian to his superiors at the time, on the grounds that all good opportunities should not be monopolized by him alone, as there were more than one good director in China.

The leader highly approved of this approach of giving opportunities to others, so he accepted Li Yu's suggestion.

But later they pulled Li Yu back.

Li Yu recommended Lin Chaoxian.

Lin Chaoxian felt that Li Yu was very kind.

Li Yu gave him the opportunity to direct "Operation Red Sea", and he would feel unworthy if he didn't do something in return.

So he recommended Li Yu to be the screenwriter of this film.

What the leader meant at the time was that Li Yu had rejected the position of director, but he couldn't refuse the position of screenwriter again, right?
What's more, there has always been a saying in the circle that anything produced by Li Yu must be a masterpiece.

Therefore, the leaders hoped that Li Yu would be the screenwriter of this movie.

Under the strong request of his leader and Lin Chaoxian, Li Yu had no choice but to serve as the screenwriter of "Operation Red Sea".

This version of "Operation Red Sea" is not much different from the previous version.

Yu only modified and optimized the minor shortcomings of the original female reporter actor's awkward acting, and the overall framework remained basically the same as the previous life.

Li Yu sincerely felt that he had done nothing.

So he agreed to attend the premiere as a guest, not wanting to accept anything without doing something, and he didn't want to be too high-profile.

Furthermore, he has appeared in hot news quite frequently recently.

Chen Kaige's new movie started shooting and people were praising him. He also caused a hot incident when he was filming "Barbie" in the United States, where he learned a foreign language with a female actress.

His movie "Thief" will be launched soon.

If public resources are continuously occupied over time, people will become disgusted.

You have to disappear for a while to avoid overexposure.

But Lin Chaoxian didn't think so. When he heard Li Yu say that he had been exposed too much recently and should avoid overexposure, so he should just go to his premiere as a foil, a warm feeling welled up in his heart.

He thought Li Yu was really great.

He said: "Director Li, the idea of ​​avoiding overexposure is probably a lie, you don't want to steal my exposure, right?
I remember it very clearly. At that time, my leader contacted me and said that you recommended me to be the director of "Operation Red Sea", and you said that you wanted to give the opportunity to more people.

What you are thinking is that since you have done it, you should be a good person to the end. You let me be the director and let me be the protagonist of this movie. You don’t want to take the credit from me, right? "

He was so touched and felt that Li Yu was a man of great integrity. If the age difference between him and Li Yu was not so great, he would have asked a professional private detective to help him find out whether he and Li Yu were long-lost brothers.

“…” Li Yu was speechless.

Li Yu felt that people’s imagination was too strong.

Did he really think that way? No, neither what he thought nor what he expressed meant that.

Why did Lin Chaoxian understand it that way?
He really just felt that he had no contribution and was thinking about reducing his exposure to concentrate on polishing the script. He definitely had no intention of not wanting to steal the credit from Lin Chaoxian.

Li Yu felt that he needed to explain: "Actually..."

"Director Li, you don't need to say anything more. You don't want to steal my limelight and want to give more people the chance to show their faces. I understand your noble character.

I'm not as noble as you, but I still know how to write the words "be grateful and repay kindness".

It was you who gave me the opportunity to direct "Operation Red Sea", and you also spent a lot of time and effort on the investment.

You are a major contributor to Operation Red Sea. How can your name not be on the list of credits? I don’t want to and cannot take all the credit for myself.”

Lin Chaoxian flatly rejected Li Yu's "good intentions".

Li Yu didn't know what to say for a moment.

He only knew that since Lin Chaoxian had said so, he could no longer use the same excuse as before.

Otherwise, Lin Chaoxian might think that he looks down on others.

In order to avoid being misunderstood again, he chose to remain silent.

He accepted Lin Chaoxian's arrangement in silence and agreed to attend the premiere of "Operation Red Sea" as an important member of the production team.

In addition to the "Operation Red Sea" incident, according to the work report of the Dream Association managers.

Works such as "Dying to Survive", "I'll Wait for You in the Future" and "Suddenly This Summer" have all received part of the investment from the association.

Some have already been officially launched, while others are still on the road to attracting investment.

The association founded by Li Yu to support directors and screenwriters has made some progress.

Li Yu was quite satisfied with this.

Once the association has supported the production of excellent works and its reputation has been established, more directors and screenwriters will join the association.

Digging out as many good scripts as possible and preventing bad dramas from filling up the screen will still make a contribution to the development of the industry, and it will be a significant one.

By the way, Li Muge also submitted his project "Eastern Palace" to Li Yu, asking Li Yu and the company to invest and he would film the project.

Li Yu knew about the movie "Eastern Palace". In his previous life, this was Li Muge's famous work.

If Li Yu remembers correctly, a very popular Korean drama "Hotel Del Luna" later plagiarized "The East Palace", which caused quite a controversy.

Moreover, those who lived a great life did not copy it carefully. The desert appeared in "The East Palace" because China is vast and rich in resources, and all kinds of natural environments can be found.

"Hotel Del Luna" actually copied the desert scenes as well, which is really distracting.

How big is Silla? It's such a small place, how can there be a big desert there?

Li Yu understood Li Muge's thoughts and confirmed that this "Eastern Palace" was basically the same as the "Eastern Palace" he knew.

So he agreed to Li Muge's shooting plan on the spot.

This is Li Muge's famous work. To be honest, it is better than "Sito".

The popularity of "Sito" has a lot to do with Da Tiantian. Da Tiantian is very suitable for playing Si Teng.

The success of "Eastern Palace" is purely due to the high quality of the work.
