The King of Directors 2000

Chapter 442 Three hundred million is difficult

After the new year, many media focused on Director Li, saying that he is a director of tens of billions of dollars, the most successful director of commercial films in China, and he became an award presenter at the Oscars.

Let Li Shengyao become the traffic password in the recent period.

It's not just an advertisement endorsement, some even want to invite him to make TV series and movies, not as a cameo, but as a male lead role, the salary is not bad, more than 1000 million.

In addition, there are invitations to various variety shows.

Li Shengyao is not a person who likes to chat with people, and he doesn't like playing tricks on variety shows.

Unless it's the movie promotion period, he usually doesn't bother to go to variety shows.

However, some variety shows will still be held, mainly with various favors.

When you jumped in the queue when you were promoting, at this time, if someone invites you, you have to pay back the favor.

This time, the favor Lee Shengyao returned was Shonan Satellite TV's "A Date with Lu Yu".

This program was originally a talk show created by Phoenix Weishi for Lu Yu, but it was transferred to Shonan Satellite TV in 08, once a week.

Li Shengyao has a good relationship with Shonan Satellite TV. Both parties have cooperated in TV dramas and variety shows.

Before promoting movies, Shonan Satellite TV always opened the door to convenience.

Shonan Satellite TV contacted Li Shengyao and invited him to participate in "A Date with Lu Yu", and he went.

"A Date with Lu Yu" has always been recorded in Yanjing, but there is no need for Li Shengyao to go to Star City.

That night, after an appointment was made, he brought his assistant to the recording site of "A Date with Lu Yu".

He quickly received the interview list from the producer, and if there was anything he couldn't ask, he would put a cross next to it.

Li Shengyao crossed several types of questions, and then sat quietly, letting the makeup artist make up for him.

Lu Yu didn't come over to chat with him, it is said that this is Lu Yu's interview style, she will not check the script with the guests, lest the interview will look fake.

Li Shengyao didn't care, he closed his eyes, thinking about going back to his hometown to shoot a promotional video next.

He has some ideas about making a landscape promotional film for Akarin Province, and he has already started writing a plan.

There are still some details that need to be perfected.

Not long after, there were gradually some voices of conversation outside. It should be that the audience gradually entered the live broadcast hall.

Soon the voices outside became much quieter, and a voice that was not very loud but with clear words sounded.

Then the producer reminded Lee Seung Yew that he could go on stage.

Amid applause, Li Shengyao came to the live broadcast hall.

The audience is not very large, about 200 people.

Lu Yu was very thin, with short hair around his ears, and his neck was originally a normal length, but he was too thin and looked much longer.

A big head seems to be pressed on, which looks very uncoordinated.

But Lu Yu's eyes were very bright, and she looked pretty good.

Although she was terribly thin, it seemed that there was nothing wrong with her body, at least her speech was full of air.

The two greeted each other, then sat down.

"Director Li, can you tell us about your childhood?"

"Director Li, were you good at math when you were young?"

"Are you tired from practicing kung fu?"

Lu Yu's style is like this, she likes to chat with the guests about her childhood, she wants to get closer to the guests through this method.

These things are not impossible to say, Li Shengyao has almost no reservations, and responds to them all.

We talked for about 10 minutes about Lee Sung Yew's life before he became a director, and then we entered into the interview about his career after becoming a director.

"Director Li, Penelope is a famous beauty in the world. Did you feel wow when you saw her? Do you think she has any different charm compared with other beauties?"

Li Shengyao glanced at Lu Yu, he was a little surprised, if he didn't know that the big head in front of him was Lu Yu, he would have thought it was Little S.

At this time, "Kangxi Is Coming" is very popular, and some talk shows in the mainland are very obviously imitating "Kangxi Is Coming".

"I don't feel like wow. It was probably because she was on stage that day. It was broadcast live globally. I was too embarrassed to observe her. I didn't pay attention."

"So it's okay, I don't feel any different charm."

Lu Yu covered her mouth, uh uh uh she laughed like a goose.

"Director Li, do you want to cooperate with her?"

"Of course, I will not reject an actress with acting skills and charm."

Penelope is not only sexy/sensual, she is a real Spanish national treasure actor, not only has won all the domestic film awards in Spain, she has won Best Actress in Cannes and Berlin, and she has also won Oscars Best Supporting Actress.

Putting her in Huaxia means that Zhang Manyu can compete with her in awards, and no one else can.

When Lu Yu heard this, a pair of eyes shot out a sly light, "In this case, there are too many actresses you want to cooperate with."

"Yes, like Nicole Kidman, Charles Theron, or Zhang Manyu, Gong Li, I want to cooperate with them."

The big head nodded, and suddenly said: "Then you are a playful person."

Li Shengyao smiled, noncommittal.

"Do you know the box office of domestic movies last year? Two movies broke [-] million at the box office."

"I know, I have watched "If You Are the One" and "On the Red Cliff"."

"Some people say that the current film market is different from the previous few years. Feng Xiaogang and Wu Yusen have proved themselves and can get [-] million box office in the mainland. Although you and Zhang Yimou have blockbuster films worth hundreds of millions of dollars, but in The mainland market has yet to prove itself."

Lao Mouzi's "Golden Flowers in the City" has 9000 million in the mainland, which is a little short of [-] million.

Lee Shing Yew's films in the mainland have never been a big hit. The "Taken" series has Cheng Long, which is in the early [-] million.

At this time, mainland audiences like big scenes or comedy movies.

Both of these are things that Lee Sheng Yew did not try.

Now there is a lot of news about Lee Seung Yew, and indeed some media are questioning it.

Especially after the Olympics, Zhang Yimou and Zhao Jiaban collaborated on "Legend of Three Guns Shooting Murder", which can be said to be a strong alliance. Many people think that this movie can reach [-] million yuan.

And Lee Sing Yew's new film has no such signs yet.

As for "Taken 3", more people still think that the box office of more than 2 million, there is no way to reach [-] million.

Li Shengyao nodded, "It's more difficult to break [-] million now, I really haven't proved myself."

Lu Yu was taken aback when she heard the words, she thought that Director Li would refute, or raise his arms, saying that he would soon have a movie worth more than [-] million yuan.

I didn't expect Director Li to react so calmly.

Director Li has been a traffic code lately, and this interview will definitely be watched by many people. She also wants Director Li to say some encouraging words to make the show more interesting.

For this reason, she specially designed these questions, but she did not expect Director Li's reaction.

Not discouraged, she continued, "Then do you want to prove it?"

"It's not a proof, I think it's enough for the movie not to lose money, and you don't need to think too much about other things."

coercion.

Lu Yu couldn't help lowering his head, rolled his eyes, and then raised his head, "Director Li, do you want to win an award? You are now the most successful director of commercial films in Asia, and you are a director with a box office of tens of billions. Would you like to win an award?"

"It looks like Zhang Yimou, Poet Chen, and even the much younger Section Chief Jia. They have all won international awards. Do you have any consideration in this regard?"

Li Shengyao nodded this time, "Yes, I hope I can win an international award in the future."

"How long is it?"

"Before retirement."

Lu Yu really wanted to pick up the big microphone, and then yelled that this answer is not acceptable, and a clear time must be set.

She realized that Director Li was a thug, very vigilant, and would not easily speak out.

"So what's your plan next, what movie will you make?"

"Next, I will go back to my hometown. I promised to make a tourism promotional film the year before last. I will go back to my hometown to prepare. I hope everyone will like it and travel to Akalin Province more often."

Lu Yu rolled his eyes, "You are a great director, the tourism promotional videos you shoot must be different, right?"

"I haven't seriously thought about this, it should be different."

With such an official answer again, Lu Yu suppressed his restless heart, and then said: "It means that you will prepare for the next film after the production of the tourism promotional film is completed."

"Yes."

"Then do you think this movie can break [-] million in the mainland?"

"Well, I hope so."

Li Shengyao vaguely understood what effect Lu Yu wanted, but he didn't want to cooperate.

In 2009, the domestic box office soared. At the end of the year, there were super movies like "Avatar", but only "The Great Achievement of the Nation" broke [-] million in the mainland. It is not easy to break [-] million.

He didn't want to be slapped in the face when the time came.

Right now, I will prepare the tourism promotional film for Akarin Province first, and then I will consider the new film.
