China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 756 The Movie King Becomes the Fan King
The other party obviously did not expect that Hua Jin, the pigeon king, would have such a high opinion of Li Yu.

He asked in surprise: "Is Mr. Li really that great? I heard that Mr. Li initially asked you to play the role of Arthur in Joker.

You rejected it without even reading the script because you didn’t think a director who only made superhero movies could make a good movie.”

Hua Jin explained with a serious expression: "That was indeed the case at the beginning, because I didn't know Li at all.

He didn't understand his talent, his previous work, or the script of Joker.

Do you understand what I mean? My judgment at that time was because I didn’t know him at all.”

Hua Jin felt that this really couldn't be entirely blamed on his ignorance.

It is obvious that Li Yu’s previous films made in China did not take the foreign market into consideration at all, okay?
His impression of Li Yu was that Li Yu was a yellow-skinned Chinese director who seemed to have come from China and who started by filming "Aquaman".

After Li Yu personally visited him, he read the script of "Joker" and was amazed, and then he became interested in Li Yu.

A few months ago, he searched the Internet for English versions of all of Li Yu's films.

After watching it, he realized that Li Yu was so awesome.

He has made a lot of good films, which have won awards at Cannes and Berlin, and even won the Palme d'Or for Best Film.

If he had known that Li Yu was so awesome, why would he be so arrogant?
It’s all because Li Yu is not famous enough in the United States and his works are not well-known enough. His famous works are actually relatively ordinary films like "Aquaman" and "Barbie".

"I understand. What you mean is that you had some misunderstandings about Mr. Li before. After you really got to know him, your opinion of him changed, and it was a drastic change," said the reporter.

"Yes, after getting to know him, I watched many of his films, including "Parasite", "Secret of the Sun", and the films he wrote for others, "Red River" and "The Night the Comet Came".

Some movies are too unpopular in the United States and don't have English subtitles. I use translation software to translate while watching them. It's so painful.

But I think the pain is worth it, because I can feel the talent and wild imagination of an oriental director from those films.

I thought of a Chinese idiom I learned recently: It’s a pity we didn’t meet earlier.

Yes, it is a pity that we met too late. I wish I had known this talented director earlier. "

Hua Jin's opinion of Li Yu is extremely high.

It was so corny that Li Yu would blush and feel embarrassed just listening to it.

This may be because foreigners express themselves in a more straightforward way.

During the filming of "Joker", he was really impressed by Li Yu's talent.

Especially after filming the stair dance scene a few days ago, he completely became a fan of Li Yu, even though he is more than ten years older than Li Yu.

"Can you reveal some details about the filming of the movie "Joker"? I heard that the filming has been more than halfway completed since it started." The reporter asked.

Hua Jin took time out to be interviewed during the filming process, which was also for the purpose of promoting the film.

Promoting works is also part of an actor’s job.

Hua Jin hesitated for a moment and didn't say anything.

"Is it a place that you can't think of at the moment and that makes a deep impression on you?" the reporter asked quickly.

The famous actor Hua Jin has a hard time describing Li Yu's new work.

A title like this will definitely attract countless people's attention.

A Chinese director is doing very well in Hollywood. No one knows how many white directors dislike Li Yu and wish he would die tomorrow so that they can replace him.

There is also Deshini, who has had some unpleasantness with Li Yu. They did not respond directly to the "Mulan" fraud incident because they thought that responding would bring popularity to Hualiu's pirated "Mulan".

Although they remained silent on the surface, they were somewhat emotional towards Li Yu and Hualiu Company.

If there really is any news that is unfavorable to Li Yu's new movie, Deshini would be happy to give Li Yu a boost and help him promote it.

The reporter looked at Hua Jin with anticipation, hoping to get the answer he wanted from Hua Jin's mouth.

Unfortunately, after hesitating for a while, Hua Jin said in a very tangled manner: "No, you misunderstood. I am not tangled in thinking of any impressive points, but there are too many impressive points.

It was like there was a table full of delicious food in front of me, and every dish was great.

If you ask me which one is my favorite, I really can’t answer right away.”

“……”The reporter was a little disappointed.

It’s hard for Hua Jin to describe the new film by Chinese director Li Yu in a few words, and I definitely can’t write such an article.

However, the famous pigeon king Hua Jin praised the new film of Chinese director Li Yu, which is also pretty good.

Although it is not as powerful as the previous one, it can still attract many people to click on it.

"The outside world is not very optimistic about Mr. Li's Joker, mainly because the Joker has always been the most popular comic villain in everyone's impression.

The image of the villain Joker has been deeply rooted in people's minds. By making a villain the protagonist, are they trying to whitewash the Joker?
It’s hard for people to buy into a clown that subverts everyone’s impression of him.”

The reporter changed the question.

The outside world is not optimistic about "Joker" and thinks that there is a high probability that it will flop. Let's see how Hua Jin responds.

"Who said Lee is going to whitewash the Joker? Lee has never whitewashed the Joker. The Joker is still the crazy villain in the movie.

Lee just wants to tell everyone through this movie that a soil like Gotham will definitely breed such evil people.

We are now more than halfway through filming, and I can tell you that I have great confidence in this movie and the character of the Joker."

Hua Jin replied confidently.

"Do you think your clown can surpass the most classic clown?" the reporter asked another tricky question.

If Hua Jin said that he was confident of surpassing others, he would definitely be scolded badly by everyone.

Because in many people's hearts, that version of the Joker can never be surpassed.

Especially after the actors died, they were deified.

If Hua Jin said that he couldn't surpass it, it would have a bad effect on the promotion of the movie.

After all this bragging and boasting, you yourselves don’t even have the confidence to surpass the classic. Then what’s the point of your "Joker"?

Hua Jin's answer was very clever: "The most classic version of the Joker you mentioned is indeed hard to surpass. But why should we surpass him?

That version of the Joker is the most classic one in the Batman world, and my version can be understood as a completely new world or another different parallel time and space.

In two different parallel universes, both clowns are very strong, and are the strongest in their own universes."

To sum up Hua Jin’s meaning, he is awesome, and I am awesome too.

I may not be able to surpass him, but I can be as awesome as him, and I can create a classic that is hard to tell who is better.
