The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 288
July in Yanjing is very hot, so hot that people dare not go out, but now that the Internet is developed, staying at home, you can still gossip.

In the recent period of time, the most popular thing is naturally the release of "House of Flying Daggers". If there are no accidents, this movie will definitely earn more than 1 million box office.

Lao Mouzi has yet another movie with over [-] million yuan, and it may even compete for the annual box office champion.

It is said that "House of Flying Daggers" will still be screened in Beautiful Country. Whether it can become the weekly box office champion of Beautiful Country like "Hero" is hard to say.

People in the mainland film and television industry are still looking forward to it.

Many people think that costume blockbusters are the way out for mainland movies in the future, and they feel that they can go global like "Hero" and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" by making costume blockbusters.

Every director is gearing up, thinking about doing a big job.

When Xiaogangpao was interviewed, he said that after "A World Without Thieves", he will make an interesting blockbuster costume film, targeting the global market.

He said so, so he was aiming at the beautiful country.

In addition to "House of Flying Daggers", the second hottest is naturally the finale of "My Uncle". The hero and heroine who have been tugging at the heartstrings of the audience finally have a result. Both of them have been reborn, which warmed many people.

Many viewers discussed on the Internet, and everyone was more satisfied with the ending of the hero and heroine.

There are still many stars shouting that they hope there will be a second part.

In the finale of "My Uncle", the male and female protagonists are not together, leaving the audience with some imagination. Naturally, many people hope to shoot the second part.

Regarding this matter, Fenghua has not responded.

Anyone who understands Fenghua's style knows that this means that there will be no second part of this drama.

Although it is a bit regrettable, this has not affected the popularity of "My Uncle", and there are still many discussions on the Internet.

This time it is mainly to discuss the energy of this drama and its overseas broadcasting situation.

I heard that it is popular in the island country peninsula, and it is also a big hit in Southeast Asia. It has become a new phenomenon-level TV series besides "Winter Sonata" and "Da Shang Palace". Netizens are still very proud.

Many people appealed to Lee Sheng Yew to continue making TV dramas and not to mix in the film industry.

The third hot spot is Lee Sung Yew's announcement that he will be filming "Let's Punch, Dad".

Director Li had accumulated enough fame at this time, and Fenghua Film and Television Company revealed the news, which immediately attracted the attention of many audiences and actresses.

The female lead in "Let's Punch, Dad" is about 20 years old and needs to learn boxing for at least two months. Including the shooting time, she will spend about half a year in the crew, but the salary will not exceed 200 million

For many actors, this is actually not as cost-effective as filming a TV series.

It can be said that it is hard work and not profitable.

But who can refuse to play the heroine in Director Lee's first film?
Although Director Li has not proven his ability to make movies, who knows if his movies can be as successful as TV dramas?

What if it explodes?
Not only female stars born after [-] took the initiative to audition, but also many female stars before [-] auditioned.

Even someone like Jiang Qinqin called Li Shengyao and asked if she had a chance.

"No, you are too beautiful to be suitable."

"Let's Punch, Dad" is naturally impossible to find a big beauty to play the boxer, it's too dramatic.

So people like Jiang Qinqin and Gao Yuanyuan were wiped out early.

In addition to mainland actors, many actresses from Hong Kong and Taiwan also expressed their desire. Zheng Xiuwen called, but Li Shengyao refused.

"You're too thin, you don't look like a boxer, it's not suitable."

In fact, ninety-nine out of ten actresses from Hong Kong and Taiwan are not suitable, because their urban sense is too strong.

And Li Shengyao is looking for a female lead who is relatively rustic. After all, in the plot, the heroine comes from an ordinary southern town.

my country's Zhang Xiyan, who won the Women's Boxing World Cup, is actually from the Northeast, and Li Shengyao did not set his heroine to be from the Northeast.

Because if it is too similar, the audience will quickly find the prototype, which will easily cause disputes.

Just like Chen Kexin's "Win the Championship" later, because of the clear character prototype, it caused a lot of controversy.

Li Shengyao intends to not be so similar to Zhang Xiyan, but a little bit similar. Anyway, the audience knows that Huaxia has the champion of the Women's Boxing World Cup, so the movie will not be too crooked.

On this day, Li Shengyao was watching the information of actresses in Fenghua Film and Television Company, when the assistant rushed over and said that Zhao Yanzi and her manager had come.

Li Shengyao was somewhat surprised that Zhao Yanzi came, but after thinking about it, he felt it was reasonable.

"Heaven and Earth Heroes" and "Green Tea" both failed at the word-of-mouth box office. Zhao Yanzi urgently needs good works to prove himself.

She originally pointed to making movies to hit the international market, just like Zhang Ziyi who jumped out of domestic entertainment, but the result was not satisfactory.

Looking for Li Shengyao now, there is a high probability that he fell in love with "Let's Punch, Dad".

Li Shengyao then came to the reception room and met Zhao Yanzi and her manager.

Zhao Yanzi's eyes are really big, it feels like the effect of ordinary people after using PS, but at this time, compared with the period of "Huan Zhu Ge Ge", she feels that her face is a bit bigger, without the agility of that time, It's more calm.

"Hello, Director Li."

Zhao Yanzi saw Li Shengyao and stood up voluntarily.

Li Shengyao shook hands with her with a smile, the two exchanged pleasantries for a while, and then Zhao Yanzi's manager asked, "Director Li, we heard that you are selecting the heroine for a new movie, do you think we have a chance?"

Zhao Yanzi showed a smile, and said, "Director Li, I can endure hardships, I can practice boxing, and look at my body, I seem to be practicing boxing."

Zhao Yanzi is indeed stronger than the average actress, her shoulders are quite broad.

Although she is a city girl, she has the feeling of a small town girl in her temperament.

It does seem like a good fit.

But Li Shengyao would naturally not agree, he didn't want to have too much involvement with an actor like Zhao Yanzi.

Of course, no matter what happens to her in the future, there is no need to offend her.

Let the well water not violate the river water.

"Ms. Zhao, I have actually considered you a long time ago. After all, you are the hottest female star in the mainland right now, but you are not suitable for this movie. You are too beautiful, especially your eyes are too big. Think about it, practice boxing Is the girl with small eyes small? The heroine of my movie is a small town girl, which doesn't match your temperament."

Zhao Yanzi was a little disappointed when she heard this, but she still wanted to fight for it.

Li Shengyao's ability to write scripts has long been demonstrated. I believe that his first film will have a very good script.

As long as the grades are decent, she can arrange for people to hype and brag.

It can't be like "Heaven and Earth Heroes" and "Green Tea", where you can't find any hype if you want to.

"Director Li, I can make the eyes smaller, and I can change my image."
