China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 87 Director Li has exhausted his talents!

The reporter who Li Yu asked Zhuo Wei to make a cameo was the reporter who took the lead in blocking Wan Qianqian at Professor Qiao's house after the female star fell into the river and died.

Later, he deliberately drove into Wan Qianqian's car in college, trying to force Wan Qianqian to get out of the car to make a big news. In the end, Professor Qiao who arrived was shocked and speechless.

This character is somewhat annoying.

If Zhuo Wei comes to play this role.

Li Yu believes that with Zhuo Wei's talent, the audience's dislike for this character will be doubled.

The more the audience hates this character, the happier the audience will be when they see Professor Qiao denounce this character.

As a good director, you must know how to make the best use of everything!

There is a saying that even a pair of underwear or a piece of toilet paper has its role.

Even if it is a small role, as long as it is used well, it can produce unexpected effects.

Facts have proved that Zhuo Wei did not disappoint Li Yu.

In his cameo, Zhuo Wei perfectly interprets an extremely annoying and unscrupulous journalist who will do whatever it takes to get big news, which definitely surpasses the original version.

Zhuo Wei stayed on the set for nearly five days. Not only did he get the first-hand information he wanted, but he also made a guest appearance and had a lot of fun.

When he was about to leave, Li Yu asked someone to pay him several hundred yuan for the film.

Zhuo Wei looked at the hundreds of dollars in cash in his hand and couldn't help but sigh that Director Li is such a fastidious person!
  It was clear that he would rather be paid for free, but Li Yu still paid him the remuneration he deserved according to the market price.

"Director Li, don't worry. I will definitely help you promote it like the ghost did last time."

Zhuo Wei made a few promises before leaving.

After returning from Xingcheng, Zhuo Wei waved his pen and wrote several articles praising Li Yu and Xingyou.

He thought that this time it would be the same as the last ghost show, achieving a sensational effect and winning wide acclaim.

Unfortunately, this time he only guessed the beginning, but not the ending.

He mentioned in the article that Professor Qiao, your male lead, is an alien with superpowers. He can freeze time, move instantly, and his physical fitness is far superior to others.

He also revealed some of your classic scenes.

For example, the villain’s brother, the second male lead, beats Professor Qiao with a tranquilizer gun.

Professor Qiao disappeared in an instant and appeared behind the villain the next second.

The villain warned and intimidated Professor Qiao harshly at the elevator entrance on the 21st floor, and then took the elevator down from the 21st floor.

In less than two minutes, when the villain arrived on the first floor, the moment the elevator door opened, he found Professor Qiao standing outside the elevator on the first floor, waiting for him.

Another example is that Wan Qianqian was given an unknown potion and fell into a coma.

Someone drove her and her car onto a cliff, disrupted the braking system, and sent her and her car toward the cliff at an ever-increasing speed.

During the thunder and lightning, Professor Qiao actually fell from the sky and stopped the out-of-control car with both hands.

Zhuo Wei mentioned a lot of details like this.

There is actually nothing wrong with Zhuowei's article.

The problem is that not only Silla's version lags behind, but the domestic version also lags behind.

The last time a ghost happened, the general died unjustly and became an immortal ghost due to God's blessing. He then entered the palace and killed the traitor and his followers.

The system of ghosts and gods has a long history in China, and domestic audiences are familiar with it, so it is easier for them to understand.

In addition, photos of the ghosts that had been transformed into Taoists were leaked at that time.

The ghosts have done a very good job in converting the Tao, so they have won a lot of praise.

This time Xingyi is different. Domestic audiences are relatively unfamiliar with the settings of alien superpowers.

There are not many decent idol dramas in China.

Just take a look at the popular idol drama "Meteor Garden" in Taiwan Province in recent years. You will know that the protagonist Daoming Si is as tall as 2,580,000 yuan. In this context, you say the alien is the male lead? Can it move instantly? Will time freeze?
  Can you even slap an out-of-control car on a cliff and stop it from the sky?

Do you want to say that when you were a child, you got a martial arts secret book by chance and learned a palm technique that fell from the sky?
  Forget about 2004.

Even in 2014, before seeing the finished film, if people only saw the plot described in words.

The first reaction is the same, most likely you will think this is a bad drama.

Therefore, although several of Zhuo Wei's articles have aroused widespread heated discussion.

Because your setting is too advanced, the majority of bad comments are negative.

Over the past year, Li Yu, who has suddenly emerged as a new force, has achieved too many brilliance.

The glory he achieved in one year even surpassed many of his predecessors who had worked hard in the television industry for many years.

The sharp edge is too exposed, and when the 'flaws' are exposed, it is inevitable to be besieged from all sides.

After seeing Zhuo Wei's revelations, many media began to comment that Li Yu had exhausted his talents and had no work left.

This is normal.

Jay Chou, who just released his divine album "Ye Huimei" last year, is criticized by the media almost every year for being too talented.

It can only be said that this kind of news that can easily arouse people's controversy is attractive.

The media like to hype this kind of news in order to attract attention and sell newspapers and magazines.

Li Yu is now enjoying the treatment of Jay Chou, and has become a talented director and screenwriter who shines like a shooting star but disappears in an instant.

Some media have even predicted that Star You will be a Waterloo event in Li Yu's career as a director.

Zhuo Wei was afraid that Li Yu would misunderstand that he was responsible for the big commotion. When he realized that public opinion was out of control, he immediately called Li Yu to apologize.

He also stated that the articles he wrote were all about praising Li Yu and Xingyou, just like last time when he was praising ghosts.

The loss of public opinion was a black swan event and exceeded his expectations.

Li Yu did not embarrass Zhuo Wei. He knew that it was not Zhuo Wei's fault.

It can only be said that Xingyou's setting is too advanced. His Full House and Ghosts have achieved too much success, making him a controversial and topical figure in the industry.

So as long as there is a slight disturbance on his side, the media will exaggerate the facts and make it a so-called 'big news'.

Li Yu has a strong heart and doesn't mind the doubts from the outside world.

He is a director, and directors let their works speak for themselves. Are they still afraid of being looked down upon by the media?
  Jay Chou is running out of talent every year. Let me ask, during the Twilight of the Gods in the Chinese music scene 10 years ago, was there any singer who could shake Jay Chou's absolute dominance?

It doesn’t matter what the media says, it has to be said by the audience.

As long as you can produce good enough works for the audience in the future, then you will be the king of music and the godfather of domestic idol dramas.

So after appeasing Zhuo Wei, Li Yu directly cut off communication with the outside world, refused to accept any more interviews from media reporters, and filmed every scene seriously.

Li Yu didn't care about the outside world, and couldn't help the people in the crew starting to think wildly.

Li Mu, Ge Fan, Xiaopang Tangyan and others all thought that Li Yu might have been hit by the outside world's voices at first, so they came to comfort Li Yu one after another.

Li Yu said that he actually had nothing to do.

But they just felt that something was wrong with Li Yu.

I feel that Li Yu is just pretending to be strong, open-minded, and indifferent.

"..."

Li Yu was speechless.

It's not like he hasn't been laughed at before.

During the filming of Full House, he deliberately said some arrogant words to attract publicity, which caused a lot of criticism.

If he was a weak-hearted person, would he have done something to bring trouble to himself?
