China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 8 Mr. Cai and Hu Ge are here
  "Full House" itself is a small crew.

There are less than twenty people in total including the main characters and behind the scenes.

Teacher Gao went directly to the school's photography department to find a photographer or something like that for Li Yu.

It’s nice to enjoy the shade with your back against a big tree!

It didn't take long to get the team together.

Li Yu and Teacher Gao discussed it and decided to take the shooting in Liancheng.

Liancheng is a beautiful coastal city with beautiful scenery, which is very suitable for the fantasy and romantic theme of Full House.

Moreover, in the opening plot of Full House, the heroine Han Xinxin is tricked by her best friend and her best friend’s boyfriend to go abroad.

This 'overseas' shooting location can be directly placed in Bincheng, which is also in the Northeast.

Bincheng architecture belongs to a rather special category among domestic cities, integrating many different construction styles from Eastern Europe. It is also known as Little 'Moscow'.

After all, it’s a small crew, so we can’t really take the crew to fly abroad for filming, right? That would cost too much money, and it would also be troublesome to apply for a visa.

The plot is not that big, so there is no need to spend so much time on it.

After arriving in Liancheng, the hotel where the Full House crew stayed was relatively average.

Except for director Li Yu, who had a room to himself, everyone else stayed in double rooms.

No one will have any objection to this, and no one will dare to have any objection.

Li Yu's identity is the director.

The director has the highest status in the crew, not to mention that Li Yu also has a layer of investor armor on him.

On a sunny day, the crew of Full House officially held the opening ceremony.

This is a trend brought about by Hong Kong directors who came north to develop in the past few years.

To be honest, Li Yu personally definitely doesn't believe in ghosts and gods.

But every crew does this, so he shouldn't be too unique and look pretentious.

So Li Yu asked people to arrange roasted suckling pig, firecrackers and other things, and after completing the previous procedures, he gave a speech.

"Director Li, I would like to ask, since you are directing and filming a film and television series on your own at such a young age, do some people think you are a bit young and energetic?"

This is a reporter.

More than a dozen reporters came to the opening ceremony.

Without exception, they were all invited by Li Yu with money.

It's a crew with a new director and unknown actors. No one knows about it once it starts filming, so how can a reporter come to the show on their own?

After all, Li Yu has been in the entertainment industry for more than 20 years in his dream. He understands the importance of publicity very well.

If you don't promote it and don't put your name out there, how can you sell the film to a TV station?
  If no reporter came voluntarily, he would pay for them to come. In short, he had to let people know that a TV series called Full House was launched.

"What do you call a young man if he is not vigorous?"

Li Yu was very eloquent.

The reporters' eyes lit up and they started taking notes in their small notebooks.

This is eye-catching news!

A director who is less than 20 years old is filming a TV series independently, and his tone is quite loud, which is very interesting.

Reporters continued to dig out explosive points from Li Yu: "Director Li, what are your expectations for the TV series Full House?
  For example, whether it can become a star, and how many points of ratings it will achieve after becoming a star. "

The reporters want to dig holes for Li Yu and dig out explosive points from Li Yu so that they can sell their magazines and newspapers.

Li Yu chose to cooperate with them and replied: "The benchmark for domestic idol dramas, and the object of imitation and learning for later generations."

As soon as these arrogant words were spoken, not only the reporters but also the actors nearby were stunned.

Is this flag too big? Isn't Director Li afraid of being slapped in the face and whipped to death in the future?
  After all the reporters left, Yan Danchen said worriedly: "Director Li, did you say too much just now?
  These reporters are not good people. They are unscrupulous in order to sell magazines.

It is very likely that what you just said will be misinterpreted by them. If it is written in newspapers and magazines, many people will definitely criticize you. Li Yu didn't care at all: "As a director, am I still afraid of being scolded?" You don’t understand, I was actually advertising just now.

The director of our crew is not famous, and the actors are not famous.

To put it bluntly, no TV station was willing to buy the finished product once it was released.

I deliberately said some arrogant things, and I might be laughed at by the crowd, but at least someone in our crew knows about it, right? "

Yan Danchen, Luo Jin and others looked surprised.

The city's routines are deep, but you can still play like this?

As a veteran driver in the industry, Li Yu knows the importance of traffic.

Even if it is black traffic, it is still traffic.

Not to mention Li Yu, a new and unknown director, Zhang Dabeard, a director, is well-known and experienced enough, right?
  From the moment he started filming, he tried to find the most popular actor, saying that he would hire the most popular actor to play this role, and he said he would hire the most popular actress to play that role.

For the first time, the audience believed it, and when the TV series was aired, they found out that they had been tricked by Zhang Big Beard.

The second time a bearded man acted like this, wouldn't there be many people scolding him for making a porcelain sensation?
  so what? The quality of the works is excellent, the ratings are equally high, and the profits are equally huge.

Strictly speaking, Li Yu's self-promotion is more moral than growing a beard.

With a big beard, he rubs against others. He rubs against anyone who is popular.

Li Yu only insulted himself, not others.

"I'm a director. I don't need to show my face on stage. I can play like this, but you don't want to imitate me."

This is why Li Yu did not become an actor but a director.

If an actor gets into some scandal, he will be immediately shut down.

The director is not afraid, as long as he does not break the law or discipline.

Yan Danchen pondered for a long time and murmured: "You are not old, but you are quite clever."

At first, she was really worried that those unscrupulous reporters would misinterpret Li Yu's words and accuse Li Yu to death.

Only now did she realize that Li Yu, the real owner, was worried that the reporters would not smear him hard enough, so he was worried in vain.

“Oh, it’s also for the sake of our crew.

So everyone must film well and don’t let me get slapped in the face when I look back. "

Li Yu said with a wry smile.

Everything has pros and cons.

Li Yu's approach can make him famous at a very low cost, but this double-edged sword can hurt people if he doesn't handle it well.

After the filming of the scene was completed, the most everyone could say was that Li Yu was a bit crazy for talking.

If the filming is bad, then it is pure clowning.

On the first day of shooting, I have just finished worshiping ghosts and gods. I usually shoot a few scenes that are relatively easy to get through, and then take a half-day off.

Picture a smooth start.

If a heavy workload is scheduled for the first day and something goes wrong during the shooting, it is obviously not very auspicious.

Li Yu personally stared at the camera, filmed a few simple scenes, and then announced that he would take the afternoon off and resume filming tomorrow.

The work had just ended when the assistant came over and said to Li Yu: "Director Li, Mr. Cai from Sugar Man has come to visit with the crew of "Dandelion"."

Sugar Man has a drama filmed in Liancheng this year, and it is Hu Ge's first film and television drama.

In addition to Hu Ge, there is also Yuan Hong in the crew.

This TV series will be broadcast next year, and its ratings have skyrocketed. Many people have never heard of such a TV series.

Li Yu and Cai Yinong didn't know each other, so they were a little surprised by her arrival.
