China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 668 Our role model
"I understand. I also want to improve." Yang Yang said seriously.

Today is the first day of filming. Li Yu came to the crew with gifts, and all the crew members received some.

He paid for a mobile coffee cart and booked it for the entire day. Everyone in the crew, from actors and directors to stagehands and extras, were free to use it as long as they didn't waste it intentionally.

As soon as Li Yu arrived, the entire crew benefited. Coupled with his own fame, he became the most watched person in the entire crew as soon as he appeared on the stage, no doubt about it.

"You don't have to gather around me. I'm just here to visit the crew and take a stroll. Just treat me as a transparent person, as if I don't exist." Li Yu said.

This is what Li Yu said, but no one took what he said seriously.

The actors who played the second male lead and the second female lead... a large group of people gathered around Li Yu and greeted him.

Li Yu had to sigh once again that sometimes being too popular is really not a good thing.

You see, wherever I go I cause a sensation, how tiring it is.

After those who wanted to greet Li Yu and get to know him had finished greeting him, Yang Yang walked straight to Li Yu and greeted him politely, "Hello, Director Li, I'm Yang Yang."

"I know. Liu Yifei told me before that you and she co-starred in "Eternal Love." Li Yu's attitude was as friendly as ever.

"She actually mentioned "Eternal Love" to you?" Yang Yang looked surprised.

The next second, he was confused again. Would Liu Yifei complain to Li Yu about his performance in "Eternal Love"?

After the movie was broadcast, those stupid up-loaders cut out the magical clip of him pulling noodles. In that scene, Liu Yifei's expression looked like he wanted to hit someone.

He thought it was normal for Liu Yifei to complain about him to Li Yu.

Li Yu and Liu Yifei have a good relationship.

After Liu Yifei experienced several setbacks in the film industry, Li Yu promoted Liu Yifei to fame with the movie "Chasing Dreams in the Film Industry".

Then... Liu Yifei played very stably and fought back with several consecutive dives.

"At that time, Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2" and your "Eternal Love" were not released at the same time. At that time, Liu Yifei called me to complain, saying that the simultaneous release of two large-scale movies would affect each other's screening schedules." Li Yu said.

"Oh, so that's what's going on. She looks quite Buddhist, but I didn't expect that she's actually very interested in movies." Yang Yang heaved a sigh of relief when he heard that she wasn't complaining about him.

"She wasn't worrying, she was just worrying about nothing. My answer at the time was, why should she worry that a disabled person versus an 80kg boxing champion would affect the outcome of the match." Li Yu explained.

"..."Yang Yang was shocked by Li Yuxiu's expression.

He gave full marks to this pretentious guy, he was really convinced.

He also understood why Li Yu could write so many good scripts.

The words he used were clearly very civilized, without a single curse word, but the words he said were the most humiliating. After humiliating the other person, the other person was unable to refute.

At least as the leading actor, he couldn't refute it.

Both are movies with hundreds of millions of dollars in investment, but "Wolf Warrior 2" has a box office of over billion yuan, while "Eternal Love" only has a few hundred million yuan.

Judging from the results, is there anything wrong with saying that one is a boxing champion and the other is a disabled person?
From the beginning, the two films were no match.

Because "Eternal Love" is not worthy of being a rival to "Wolf Warrior 2".

"I'm curious, Director Li, you're being so direct, will Liu Yifei be angry?" Yang Yang was full of admiration, thinking that he was indeed a role model for our generation, straighter than steel.

"I wasn't angry, but she was definitely not convinced at first. She finally gave in a few days after the movie was released. Then she wanted to treat me to breakfast, but I said I couldn't get up that early and refused."

Li Yu said again.

There were some things he didn't say. Liu Yifei invited him to breakfast, but not for nothing. He wanted him to help write the script.

However, this can already bring 10,000 critical hits to Yangyang.

Why does this reason for rejection sound so familiar?

He remembered that when he and Liu Yifei were working together on Eternal Love, they went to the Paris Fashion Week together.

At that time, he wanted to invite Liu Yifei to have breakfast.

Liu Yifei couldn't pick it up so early and rejected him politely.

Yang Yang could only say with admiration: "Director Li is truly a role model for our generation."

Seeing that Li Yu and Yang Yang were having a good chat, the agent interrupted and said, "I heard that Director Li will be involved in the production of this play. Our Yang Yang is still very immature in many aspects. If he has any questions, please don't hesitate to give him some advice."

"Are you sure? Not everyone can tolerate my guidance. Fan Xiaopang, Tiantian, Cheng Long... many people have been scolded by me. When we were filming "Guan Du", I scolded Tiantian until she cried in front of many extras." Li Yu asked jokingly.

You can give me some advice, as long as Yangyang’s psychological endurance is strong enough.

If he has strong psychological endurance and is able to make changes, it will not be a problem for Yang Yang to have another outstanding work in his career.

"I'll be fine."

Although he was a little scared by Li Yu's words, a real man would never back down easily. He had to go ahead.

"Okay, that's enough. I won't be polite with you saying that. I'll watch you act later, and you must act well. If your performance is the same as in Eternal Love, don't blame me for getting mad on the spot." Li Yu patted Yang Yang's shoulder and didn't give him a chance to regret it before going to the other side to find Da Tiantian and Li Muge.

Yang Yang, who was standing still, was a little scared. He looked at Li Yu's back and said, "I was really panicked after hearing what Director Li said. What if I really don't perform well later? Will he really scold me in front of the whole crew?"

As a person who has a heavy idol image, it is very painful to be criticized in public.

"How about this, I'll go talk to Director Li and ask him to go easy on him." The agent was also afraid that Yang Yang would be scolded by Li Yu on his first day at work and his defense would be broken.

He really caught up with Li Yu and shouted, "Director Li, please stay. Our Yangyang's psychological endurance is not that strong. I hope Director Li will give him some face later."

Why should we let Li Yu save some face? Because as an agent, how could he not know the level of Yang Yang's acting skills?

A big director like Li Yu would definitely look down upon Yang Yang's acting skills, as they are full of flaws at first glance.

"No, his problem is that he is too tense, too serious, and has too much idol baggage. If he can relax a little, he will have no problem acting in an idol drama.

In order to make him perform in a relaxed and natural way, he had to break his image as an idol. In the first lesson of the acting department of Beijing Film Academy, the teachers taught him to liberate his nature.

How can he perform well if he is so restrained and can't let go? If he makes a mistake, I have to criticize him harshly.

He has lost enough face in the crew, and he feels that he has nothing to lose. Only then will his image as an idol disappear, and things will be easier from now on."

Li Yu said seriously.
