China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 79 Director Li: I am a principled director

"Director Li, our Tiantian can star in it for free.

Our company can even provide free investment for Director Li's new drama, as long as Director Li promises to make us the most beautiful and dazzling characters in the drama. "

As soon as the star-studded person came on board, Director Li was confused.

"This is not a matter of money..."

"one million!"

"I am a principled leader..."

"1500000!"

"?!!"

Really good at judging people!

After receiving an investment of 1.5 million for free, what else can Li Yu say?

Director Li even wanted to say that it didn't matter if such a storm came more violently, he could bear it.

The TV series "Star You" is fully invested and produced by Hualiu Company, and Li Yu's budget is 15 million.

The total salary for Fan Xiaopang Yankuan and other roles may cost about two million, and this does not include minor roles.

This is the last idol drama in Li Yu's director career.

Li Yu hopes to be perfect and strive for excellence! The more money, the better.

With a free investment of 1.5 million, Li Yu has more room to play, and he has room to make some details more perfect.

“Of course, our company’s investment of 1.5 million does not mean that there is no return at all.

In our plan, we will release an album for Tiantian in the future, allowing Tiantian to develop in both directions.

At that time, Director Li will take time out of his busy schedule to help us shoot a MV for the title song.

It would be even better if Director Li could write a high-quality song himself as the title song or an important track of the album.

I have listened to the theme songs of Full House and Ghost, and I admire Director Li's musical talent. "

After hearing this, Li Yu finally felt relieved.

The other party made an appointment in advance for him to shoot a MV for Tiantian's album title song and write a song with important differences. In addition, in exchange for Tiantian's partial preferential treatment in the crew, it was reasonable to give him 1.5 million.

Li Yu has become a new first-line director in the television industry, and his current net worth is very high.

Just asking him to shoot a well-produced MV alone would cost hundreds of thousands of dollars in appearance fees.

How can any ordinary singer be so arrogant? Did you ask a famous director to help shoot the MV? It's just a sweet one.

By the way, the MV director for the title song of Yuan Kong Tiantian’s album is Ning Hao, a frequent guest in certain entertainment novels.

Li Yu finally understood why everyone always said that Ning Hao couldn't get around it.

He himself never thought about picking up Ning Hao's wool, but fate still let him inadvertently take away a wave of luck that originally belonged to Ning Hao.

"Okay, I understand your company's request.

First, make Tiantian look good and give Tiantian some special care in the shooting.

The second point is to make an appointment in advance for me to be the MV director for the title song of Tiantian’s album.

First of all, and secondly, I have no problem, just let me know when the time comes.

The first point is that I have to change it. In fact, you don’t need to specifically ask me to do it, I can do it myself.

Who in the industry doesn’t know that I’m good at photographing beauties? Han Xinxin and Tang Churan are both classic examples.

But I am a director, and everything has to follow my ideas.

You said that Tiantian’s costume must be stunning and must be the most dazzling one. You are willing to prepare the costume at your own expense.

As your director and screenwriter, I reject this approach.

The character played by Tiantian is on the road to escape at the beginning. How can anyone escape wearing beautiful clothes? Do you think of running away as shopping? "

"Director Li, I think..."

"I'm the director, and I have the final say on filming. I don't want you to think, I want what I think." Li Yu's attitude was very tough.

Famous directors such as Zhang Yingmou and Chen Kaige are like tyrants on the set, and they absolutely tell the truth. There is a reason.

As a director, Li Yu can understand their approach.

If everyone can come up with their own ideas, if you have an idea and I have an idea, will the movie be filmed?

In order to ensure the quality of the film, the director must have absolute say on the set.

"You have to listen to me on everything about filming. You can send people to the crew to observe. If you feel dissatisfied with anything, you can give comments.

But you can't force me on what to do.

If you find it unacceptable, I would rather not have your 1.5 million investment and Tiantian's franchise. "

These are Li Yu's bottom line, and he will not give in to anyone.

If he was forced to give in, he would rather change to another actor.

The man opposite meditated for a moment and realized that Li Yu had already made the bottom line clear. His tone softened: "Okay, let's go with Director Li's idea. I believe in Director Li's ability to photograph beauties."

"Happy cooperation! Just wait and see the finished film. I am very confident in my work and I am confident that I will not disappoint you."

Li Yu shook hands with the opponent who had already given in.

The two sides finally reached an agreement after intense negotiations.

Star You started planning last year when Ghost entered post-production, and has been planning for two or three months now.

The main actors are already in place, and Li Yu flew to Xingcheng in Xiangnan with more than 2 people including the creative team and behind-the-scenes staff on February 20.

Xiang Nantai and Li Yu had an agreement long ago.

The main shooting locations were in Xingcheng and Xiangnan Province.

The crew's food and accommodation expenses during the filming period will be covered by them, on the condition that the first round of "Star You" will be broadcast exclusively on Xiangnan Channel.

If Li Yu wants to shoot at scenic spots in Xingcheng and Xiangnan areas, the local cultural and tourism departments will also give the green light to cooperate throughout the process.

During New Year's Day this year, Xiangshan was crowded with people.

During the Chinese New Year, the number of tourists visiting Xiangshan in Beijing increased significantly compared with last year, and the influence of ghosts is obvious to all.

Many couples and men and women who want to express their love for each other go to Xiangshan to imitate ghosts and little brides, and catch newly fallen maple leaves from the trees.

Because the ghosts say that if you catch the falling maple leaves, the love of the person walking with you will eventually come true.

That is to say, the current network is not developed enough.

If it enters the short video era in more than ten years, it is guaranteed that a lot of travel bloggers and couple bloggers will come to Xiangshan to check in.

And the sword-drawing challenge that represents true love is definitely imitated by the entire internet.

Closer to home, with the convenience provided by Xiangnan Terrace and the cooperation of the local cultural and tourism departments, it will be very convenient for Li Yu’s team to carry out work in Star City.

By the way, it is worth mentioning that in the team of 50 people brought by Li Yu from the capital, in addition to the outstanding photography department senior from Beijing Film Studio, the best lighting engineer in the capital, and Shang Tao, the top stylist and makeup artist in the country.

There is also an important new member in Li Yu's crew.

His name is Li Muge, and he graduated from Beijing University majoring in computer information management.

His major is very popular in today's era of brutal growth of the Internet in China. It is a high-paying industry and has great prospects.

But Li Muge himself doesn’t like this major. He likes photography and shooting things.

Some time ago, he submitted his resume to Hualiu Company, and Li Yu recruited him after seeing it.

In the play Star You, Li Muge holds the important positions of deputy director and executive director.

Although he became a monk halfway, he is talented in the field of directing. "East Palace" and "Si Teng" are both works directed by him.

However, he currently does not have the ability to direct a TV series independently, so Li Yu took him with him to let him practice and learn some experience.

In the future, when his experience improves, he can be put in charge of Hualiu Company's idol dramas.
