China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 680 Director Li’s Waterloo?

About five months later, the filming of "Thief" was officially completed.

Li Yu's performance is very stable. His speed is not fast, but definitely not slow either. He is at an average level among directors.

After the filming of "Thief" was completed, the moment Yang Yang had been looking forward to was finally here.

Because "Hotel Del Luna" has completed all post-production work, submitted for review, and successfully obtained the license, it can be broadcast at any time.

However, this drama can only be broadcast online and not on TV.

Because there are a lot of ghosts in "Hotel Del Luna", there are far more ghosts than in "Goblin", and they basically appear in every episode.

For this reason, it can only be broadcast online.

But it’s not a big problem. Things are different now than they were in the past. The number of users of online video platforms has surpassed the number of viewers of TV stations.

Television stations are really on the decline. They are not easy to use, have too many advertisements...there are too many shortcomings.

Apart from the middle-aged and elderly people, how many people are still watching TV nowadays?

In a few years, the television will become a wall decoration in many households.

Even middle-aged and elderly people don’t like watching TV anymore because their children have taught them to watch short videos on their mobile phones.

Some of the most powerful TV stations have created their own exclusive video apps.

As one of the earliest online video platforms in China, and with Li Yuchao's forward-looking vision guiding its direction, Station A has long since developed into the most popular video platform in China with the largest number of users.

Now Station A not only broadcasts film and television works produced by Hualiu Company, but also broadcasts film and television works and variety shows produced by other companies.

So leading actors like Yang Yang and Da Tiantian don’t care at all whether they can appear on TV, because it doesn’t matter.

Even the most powerful TV station cannot catch up with Station A in terms of the number of users.

……

Wei Lingxue is a loyal fan of Yang Yang. As a die-hard fan of Yang Yang, she can even recite Yang Yang’s birthday by heart. Of course she would not forget such an important day as the premiere of "Hotel Del Luna".

After get off work, Wei Lingxue waited at the company gate for her boyfriend to pick her up in an electric car.

Today is their company's salary payment day, so a big meal is definitely inevitable.

After a month of hard work, you must reward yourself.

If it were usual, Wei Lingxue would choose to go out to eat with her boyfriend.

The situation today is rather special, as her idol Yang Yang’s latest work “Hotel Del Luna” premiered. As a die-hard fan, how could she not catch the premiere?

Although you can watch TV series at any time on video platforms that cooperate with the producers if you miss the TV stations, and there is no difference between watching it earlier or later, but for die-hard fans, they don’t think so.

They are looking forward to it day and night, hoping that their idol's new drama will be released soon.

When a new drama comes out, they don’t want to wait even a moment and must watch it right away.

So Wei Lingxue and her boyfriend packed some crayfish, bought some barbecue, and some beer, and then hurried home.

On the way home, Wei Lingxue kept recommending her idol Yang Yang to her boyfriend, saying how good the dramas Yang Yang acted in were.

My boyfriend is a very straight man. He said without knowing the tact: "Isn't he just a handsome guy who makes a living by his looks? I know him. I've seen him in "Grave Robbers' Chronicles".

In "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", he had bangs and a blank expression throughout the whole movie, but he looked quite handsome.

But I particularly hate his fans. They brag about how good he is at acting when he clearly has no acting skills. "

The boyfriend was complaining about the fanatical fans, not his girlfriend. He knew that his girlfriend was a relatively rational die-hard fan.

His girlfriend is a fan of stars and idols, and she often recommends those idols' works to him.

But no matter how much she recommends idols, his girlfriend never forces him to watch the works of those idols, nor does she require him to like the same idols.

So he is very brave and dares to complain in front of his girlfriend that his girlfriend’s idol has facial paralysis.

Wei Lingxue retorted: "His expression was paralyzed in the past. He had just debuted when he acted in "Grave Robbers' Chronicles". How much acting skills can you expect from a newly debuted artist?

When you first start working, can you get familiar with your job right away? You also need an adaptation period, right?

This time's "Hotel Del Luna" is really different from the previous ones. The great director Li Yu is personally serving as the producer.

I heard from the fan group that Li Yu gave Yang Yang some pointers on his acting skills, and Yang Yang’s acting has improved a lot.”

My boyfriend scoffed at all this.

Last time, Wei Lingxue said that "Eternal Love" is the most expensive movie Yang Yang has starred in since his debut, and he is partnering with Liu Yifei, the fairy sister in everyone's mind, so it will definitely be good.

At that time, Wei Lingxue asked him to go to the cinema together, but he thought it was more interesting to stay in the rental house and play games with his friends, so he refused.

Wei Lingxue and her best friend went to the cinema to watch the premiere.

After I came back, I didn’t brag to him about how good the movie was, because not even a die-hard fan of that movie could praise it.

Later, when he saw the clip on A Station of Yang Yang pulling noodles in front of Liu Yifei, he finally understood why his girlfriend fell silent after watching the movie.

He was also glad that staying at home and playing games was a wise choice.

If I go to the cinema, I will have to suffer for an hour. How painful it is.

So this time, when he heard his girlfriend bragging about all these things, he was skeptical in his heart.

But he also caught the key point: "Who did you just mention, the famous director Li Yu? Is he the director of "Signal" and "Ready Player One"? "

As a famous Chinese director, Li Yu has made so many classic works. Few people who pay attention to the film and television circles have not heard of Li Yu's name.

"Besides him, is there another director named Li Yu?" Wei Lingxue asked back.

"Oh no, is Director Li going to encounter a major setback this time?" The boyfriend realized that something bad was going to happen and was worried about Li Yu.

He was worried that Li Yu would not be able to lead Yangyang and would be implicated and ruin his reputation.

That’s right, his impression of young handsome guys is so bad.

There's nothing he can do. It's not that he is prejudiced, it's just that those young actors are too weak. Few of them can produce outstanding works that impress him.

So he just wouldn't listen, no matter how the young handsome guy tried to persuade him, he just wouldn't be moved.

Young and handsome actors are on his blacklist. He will not watch any TV shows or movies starring them, because in many cases, young and handsome actors have become synonymous with bad works.

He swore that he was starving for dramas and would never have any good dramas or movies to watch in his life. He would not watch any work starring young actors.

So after returning to the rental house, he buried his head in his meal and was not interested in that damn Drew Hotel at all.

In sharp contrast to him is his girlfriend. After returning to the rental house, his girlfriend did not eat the first thing. Instead, she opened Station A on her tablet and searched for the five words "Hotel Del Luna" in the search box.

For those who like to chase TV series, eating is not enjoyable without watching TV series.
