China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 75 Meeting Fan Xiaopang for the first time

In the current lineup of Star You, the first male lead is Professor Qiao - played by Qiao Zhenyu, the second male lead is Yan Junhua - played by Yan Kuan, and the second female lead is Tang Zimei - played by Tang Yan.

The current lineup alone is strong enough.

After watching the movie "Mobile Phone", Li Yu thought about it and felt that Fan Xiaopang was more suitable for the role of Wan Qianqian.

First of all, Fan Xiaopang is recognized as a great beauty and belongs to the glamorous category.

She is the most gorgeous in the photos of many female celebrities.

You can say that she has a lot of dark spots, but it is undeniable that her face is indeed very delicate, and it has become a plastic surgery template for a while.

Fan Xiaopang himself is not inferior to Wan Qianqian when it comes to being scolded. I believe she has experience in acting.

The most criticized thing about Fan Xiaopang is the incident that happened more than ten years later.

Li Yu personally believes that although that incident deserves to be criticized, it is indeed disgusting and can even be said to be unforgivable.

But Li Yu wants to say it objectively. It was a common phenomenon in the industry at that time. Basically everyone did it, and she was just one of them.

People like Li Yu who follow the rules are the real minority.

In short, Fan Xiaopang is indeed Wan Qianqian's best choice at the moment.

In order for Xingyou to take the idol drama to a whole new level, we can only choose Fan Xiaopang.

It has been finalized that she will be cast as Wan Qianqian.

Two days later, Li Yu personally visited Fan Xiaopang and successfully met Fan Xiaopang himself.

Last year's Lunar New Year movie had a good box office on mobile phones. Although it caused a lot of controversy, Huayi and Fan Xiaopang, who is the leading actor, both reaped the dividends.

Fan Xiaopang is very popular recently, but our Director Li is also very popular.

Coupled with the domestic environment, the status of directors is naturally one level higher than that of actors.

In China, no matter how popular an actor is, he still has to look at the face of capital.

Famous directors who can make money are different. Capital depends on the face of the famous director.

Because capital also wants to rely on famous directors to help them make money.

For example, Zhang Yingmou and Chen Kaige said that they had a project, and they wanted to see how many wealthy bosses raised their bills to invest, but those who did not have enough energy could not invest.

Li Yu is far from reaching that level, but Li Yu's ability to make money is obvious to all.

If Li Yu's new drama released a certain amount for outsiders to invest, there would still be many people throwing money in their hands.

So even though she is as popular as Fan Xiaopang, she doesn’t dare to look down on our Director Li.

She and Li Yu made an appointment to meet at a higher-end coffee shop alone.

After the coffee was served, Li Yu looked at Fan Xiaopang across from him, and Fan Xiaopang was also observing Li Yu.

The young Fan Xiaopang is indeed beautiful, with impeccable face shape.

With big eyes, white skin, a small and straight bridge of nose, and a small cherry mouth, it's no wonder she is nicknamed "Vixy".

But Director Li personally doesn't like her kind.

These people are ambitious and enterprising.

Fan Xiaopang revealed that he had a very violent temper since he was a child.

After joining Huayi, she frequently fought with Li Lianhua and others, and she had already developed a lot of tricks.

So for Li Yu, no matter how beautiful a person like Fan Xiaopang is, they can only be viewed from a distance and not played with.

He still prefers Shi Shi's obedient and quiet type.

While Fan Xiaopang was observing Li Yu, he was also evaluating Li Yu in his heart.

First of all, he is young, and then he is handsome. He is not inferior to some of the most handsome actors in the industry.

Next is talent and financial resources. He can write scripts, direct plays, and the plays he produces are popular. It must be said that he is talented.

In terms of financial resources, as an insider, she will definitely hear about some major events in the industry.

She heard through the grapevine that last year's movie Full House brought a net income of 30 million to Li Yu and his company.

You must know that Full House is Li Yu's debut film. Due to the lack of fame of the new director and the lack of fame of the main actors, the price is not high.

This year's Goblin is different at the beginning of the year. Li Yu was already an emerging director on the small screen, and Goblin became a hit before it was aired.

The first-run single episode of "Goblin" sold for 700,000, and the first-run alone sold 17.5 million.

Even if Li Yu does nothing this year and continues to sell the Phantom's second- and third-wheel cars and waits for Full House to get the money back, there is no doubt that his net worth will exceed 50 million this year.

With a little effort, it's not impossible to reach 100 million.

In 04, when actors' salaries did not explode, Li Yu's income could be envied by Fan Xiaopang to death.

Although she is very popular now, her salary is really not very high.

Because just this year, Xie Tingfeng, one of the main actors in "Little Fish and Flowers", broke the record for the highest single-episode salary for a domestic actor in a TV series with a salary of 17 per episode.

Xie Tingfeng is the most popular right now, and the Hong Kong circle is enthusiastic about it.

According to the law that Hong Kong and Taiwan actors are higher than mainland actors, and their remuneration is far higher than that of mainland actors, Fan Xiaopang's salary is incomparable to Xie Tingfeng, it may be half less, or more.

It is worth mentioning that Li Yu cast Fan Xiaopang to play Wan Qianqian.

Maybe Fan Xiaopang will never have the chance to star in Xiao Yuer and Hua Wuque.

If Fan Xiaopang was also cut off, I wonder if Fatty Wang and Director Wang would scold her.

Because in addition to Fan Xiaopang, Yuan Quan is also one of the two important actresses in Xiao Yuer and Hua Wuque.

Both actresses were abducted by Li Yu in advance.

One is pulled over to act as a star, and the other is pulled over to act as a signal.

"Director Li has been really popular recently! Full House has become very popular abroad. My friends abroad all mentioned Full House when they called me.

The episode "Ghosts" that just finished airing was even more impressive, with the ratings breaking 5.

Director Li has no rivals in idol dramas. "

Fan Xiaopang is able to thrive in the industry, and he is naturally very good at dealing with people. He said a lot of nice things right from the start.

Li Yu is a person who likes reciprocity: "Sister Binbin is not bad either. The mobile phone box office during the Lunar New Year last year exceeded 4500 million. As a heroine, Sister Binbin has become famous again, and her career has reached a new level.

Do you think Sister Binbin has completely established herself in the film industry? "

Li Yu's words didn't have any malice, it was just ordinary polite chat, but Fan Xiaopang felt a little uncomfortable when he heard it.

Establishing a foothold in the film industry? It's not that easy.

The two presidents of Huayi are more optimistic about Li Lianhua.

Huayi's next big production "A World Without Thieves" stars Li Lianhua, who has nothing to do with her.

The top domestic film resources, such as Zhang Yingmou and Chen Kaige, would not take her to play, let alone the directors from Hong Kong and Taiwan.

"Red Cliff" is such a classic example.

It was somewhat insulting that the most popular actress in the Mainland at that time was playing the role of a female model who had just debuted in Taiwan.

So Fan Xiaopang later reduced his salary and only received 500 yuan for filming "Apple".

Sometimes she would also invest in some small-budget movies and then star in them herself.

To put it bluntly, it is difficult for her to get into the real big productions in the film industry.
