China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 115 Movie Plan B "Breaking Drummer"

Li Yu's words are well-founded.

Zhang Yingmou came from Beijing Film Academy, and when he was filming The Golden Armor, even an actor from The Maid went to the next door to find him.

The little steel cannon is not from Beiying, but the wife he married is from next door.

It is an indisputable fact that great directors love to use Chinese actors.

Teacher Gao actually understands this.

When it comes to acting alone, Next Door pays more attention to the cultivation of students' basic skills. They are not allowed to take roles in the first two years, and they must take two years of serious classes in school.

There’s also a very strong theater tradition next door.

Generally speaking, the lower limit for actors from Chinese dramas is relatively high, and currently, the upper limit is also higher for Chinese dramas.

"That's all, I don't care about those things.

I brought you here to remind you that the drama "Signal" must be filmed well and with all your heart.

Once the signal is captured, it will prove to others that you are a capable director.

Next year I will enter the film industry again, make a good film and try to win a big award.

When the time comes, teacher, I will help you hang a banner at the school gate, and then you can stay in school for graduate school. "

Teacher Gao thinks highly of this student Li Yu.

He gave Li Yu a little plan for the future.

Li Yu even learned the traditional skills of the Beijing Film Director from the actor next door.

Hanging banners is another tradition of Beiying and cannot be left behind.

No matter how good your performance is in an idol drama, you can't fail because you will be laughed at by outsiders.

Li Yu had better make a movie next year, a movie that can win big awards, and preferably win the top three foreign awards.

Then Beiying can proudly hang up the banner. Teacher Gao, as a teacher, has a face.

Teacher Gao actually hopes that Li Yu will develop into the film industry as soon as possible.

Li Yu started making TV series in order to complete a certain amount of primitive accumulation.

At present, Li Yu has achieved the goal of primitive accumulation.

Teacher Gao is worried that each idol drama produced by Li Yu becomes more popular and more profitable than the last. In the end, he loses money and cannot get out of it, wasting all his talent.

Therefore, Teacher Gao often reminds Li Yu.

Li Yu cannot be allowed to forget his ideals and original intention of being admitted to Beijing Film Academy.

"Teacher, I have a plan. After filming Signal this year, I plan to make two movies next year.

The teachers in those years already understood it, so I don’t need to say anything more.

I have a pretty good idea of ​​those years. I probably have no chance of winning the grand prize, but I should be able to get a few nominations.

In terms of winning awards, I really have high hopes for another work. "

Li Yu said seriously.

In the original space, only the leading actor won the Golden Horse Award for Best Newcomer in those years, and the rest were nominated.

Not only at the Golden Horse Awards, but also at the Asian Film Awards and Changchun Film Festival in those years, there was no harvest, only nominations.

This kind of subject matter is easy to hit the box office, but it is difficult to win awards.

But the problem is not big, Li Yu has two plans.

He wants all the box office and awards.

Next year he will completely establish himself in the film industry.

He wants to tell the world that not only will he not lose money when making movies, but he will also win awards when making movies.

"Oh? Do you have other works hidden away?"

Teacher Gao looked surprised, obviously surprised.

Li Yu did not speak, but silently took out a handwritten manuscript from his bag and handed it to Teacher Gao: "Teacher Gao, could you please correct it."

Exactly the same lines.

Exactly the same handwritten manuscript.

It felt like I was back to that afternoon in March last year.

On that day, Li Yu brought the script of Full House to Teacher Gao to read. After that, he started his career as a TV director and had a trilogy of idol dramas.

Today, Li Yu also brought a script, this time it was a movie script.

Teacher Gao took the handwritten manuscript. In the blank space at the top of the first page of the A4 paper, there were four elegant and handsome words, which were also the name of the movie script "The Exploding Drummer".

The synopsis of the movie tells the passionate story of a young man who, under the supervision of a strict teacher, uses unconventional means to challenge his limits and pursue his dream of being a jazz drummer.

A strict teacher will produce a good disciple, and many parents and teachers in China believe in this.

Just reading the introduction, Teacher Gao thinks this is an inspirational story, but also a clichéd story.

Looking down, he found that things were not that simple.

This is not an inspirational film at all, but a black inspirational film. In the story, Master Yan’s methods of educating the protagonist are very extreme, and the process of Master Yan’s successful apprenticeship is horrific!

After over-investment, the protagonist loses his original intention for music.

In the end, the protagonist succeeded, but the whole person went to extremes.

At the end of the story, the protagonist's father couldn't help showing a surprised expression when watching the protagonist's tour.

Because he felt that the person in front of him was scary and was no longer the son he knew.

The story is inspirational on the surface. Through the education of a strict teacher, the protagonist's hard and painful learning finally reaps rewards and achieves great success in his career.

But the whole story has a depressing atmosphere, which makes people feel twisted and uncomfortable.

There is no doubt that this is a critical film of very high quality.

Teacher Gao was very excited after reading this script.

He had a strong hunch that within five years, the school would have a truly great director.

He is looking forward to the day when the finished product of Explosive Drummer will be released.

Li Yu did not disappoint him.

From the time of Ghost, he has seen that Li Yu has the ability to write good scripts.

The signal confirmed this to him.

Seeing the explosive drummer today, he smiled somewhat self-deprecatingly, because after all, he underestimated Li Yu.

Li Yu's creative talents exceeded his imagination.

Teacher Gao stood up and looked at Li Yu happily: "get out of class is over!"

He had nothing left to teach this outstanding student Li Yu.

He quickly added: "Leave the script here with me. I will go back and read it slowly and read it several times. Then I will help you submit it for review."

Li Yu naturally had no objection.

On the second day.

Li Yu once again led the team to Star City.

Arriving at the airport terminal, Li Yu met an acquaintance again.

This person is none other than Liu Tianxian, who has been confirmed to star in the new version of the Condor Dragon Girl.

"Li Yu, long time no see."

Liu Yifei took the initiative to say hello after discovering Li Yu.

The directing department may not be able to recruit a few students a year, and sometimes it may not even recruit a single student a year.

The number of students in the directing department is pitifully small.

In 2002, Li Yu came to Beijing Film Academy for the first year, and the acting department held activities to welcome new students.

At that time, Teacher Yang from the Performance Department felt that Li Yu was lame and a good candidate who could be admitted to the Performance Department even if he was late, so he roped in Li Yu to participate.

At the dinner party that day, Li Yu met Liu Yifei for the first time, and shared with Liu Yifei that Teacher Gao had read the script and wanted Li Yu to change departments.

Two years have passed in a flash, and one can’t help but feel that time flies by so fast.

Liu Yifei is still so dazzling, still so bright and moving.

Li Yu is as handsome as ever. Except for the cold addition of more than 100 million in the company's books, there is not much change.

"Yifei, where is Auntie?"

Li Yu asked subconsciously.

Li Yu had a deep impression on Aunt Liu! He personally thinks that the current Aunt Liu is more beautiful than Liu Yifei.

Seeing that Liu Yifei could not see his aunt, Li Yu felt a little regretful.

"Why is it that every time you see me, the first thing you say is to ask about my mother? Can't you just ask me?"

Liu Yifei's beautiful eyebrows seemed to be hard to open, and he felt that something was wrong with Li Yu.

As a director who has been in the industry for nearly two years, Li Yu was calm and calm in dealing with such emergencies. He naturally changed the subject: "So, how are you doing recently?"

"I'm doing pretty well lately, how about you?"

"I'm pretty good too. I just filmed a few films with mediocre results and earned more than 100 million. Other aspects are pretty much the same as before."

Li Yu looked calm and said neither humble nor arrogantly.

"..."

Liu Yifei's little face had bulged and his fists were clenched.

Mom, someone is showing off!
  　Please give me some suggestions on the casting of Explosive Drummer. The author is too hip.

　　The author originally wanted to create a group to brainstorm and ask everyone for their opinions when casting.

　　But I'm afraid that the update will be too much for me, so you guys send me blades, so I don't dare to form a group at all.
