China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 152 What is a marketing master?
  One day later, Li Yu called Ling Xiaosu.

As a 99-year-old student of Beijing Film Academy, Ling Xiaosu graduated in 03.

He is from the second generation of celebrities, but his career in acting after graduation was a bit bumpy!
  In the first year after graduation, he did not film at all.

This year, he took advantage of his girlfriend Yao Chen and made a cameo in "Wulin Gaiden".

He walked out of school with his girlfriend. He was obviously from the second generation of celebrities and now he is actually not as good as his girlfriend. It is definitely a lie to say that he is not anxious and doesn't care at all.

Ling Xiaosu was ecstatic when he saw the name of the caller displayed on the phone screen was Director Li.

Yao Chen thought he had lost his mind: "Are you stupid? What are you doing jumping around with a mobile phone? You should answer it!"

"This is Director Li's phone number."

Ling Xiaosu was already trying to control his emotions, but his voice was still trembling when he spoke.

"Which Director Li?"

There are many directors named Li in the industry.

Yao Chen didn't know who Ling Xiaosu was talking about.

However, a director contacted Ling Xiaosu, indicating that Ling Xiaosu was likely to take the job, which was always a good thing.

"Who else could it be, Director Li? The Director Li from the 02 class of our school's directing department, the one who originally selected us to shoot "Full House"."

"!!!"

Yao Chen was stunned.

It turned out to be Director Li, whose name sounded like a thunder to her ears!
  Li Yu has been one of the most successful directors in the industry in the past two or three years. He has achieved great success in the television industry and is already recognized as a powerful director + film director.

It was the first time that a movie was made and it successfully won the box office championship in the first half of the year in the mainland. It was hailed as the hope of domestic movies.

"Hurry up and pick it up! If Director Li can remember you and be willing to help you, you will become famous tomorrow."

Yao Chen pushed Ling Xiaosu.

Ling Xiaosu immediately picked up the phone with a very respectful attitude: "Director Li."

Li Yu has become a great director, and he is really flattered that he can still be reminded of him!
  "Senior Ling, I have a TV script here, the male lead, can you play it?"

"Through fire and water, Director Li."

Ling Xiaosu's heart was racing!
  Li Yu's TV script, the male lead, do you still need to hesitate?

Ling Xiaosu's excitement did not calm down, and Li Yu gave him another big surprise.

"Does your girlfriend have a schedule? The first female lead has been decided, and the second female lead is vacant. If your girlfriend is willing to take the role, you can ask her to come together."

After the call ended, Ling Xiaosu burst into tears.

Director Li is as kind as a mountain to someone!
  He was a person who couldn't get any roles for a year, but a great director like Li Yu could actually think of him and give him a leading male role, and even his girlfriend could take care of him.

This is Li Yu's play!

Li Yu's name has become a recognized brand name in the TV industry.

Scripts written by Li Yu himself can become popular.

Even Li Yu's name as the producer of "Sword of Immortality" became popular.

What Yao Chen said just now is right, this time he will become famous.

"What did Director Li say?"

Yao Chen looked at Ling Xiaosu expectantly.

She didn't hear the content of the call, but it was easy to tell from Ling Xiaosu's emotional ups and downs that it was good news.

"Director Li did not forget us alumni after his success. He just said that he had a TV script and asked me if I had time to go there and play the male lead.

He also said that he can bring you along. The choice of the female lead has been decided, and your role will be the second female lead. "

Ling Xiaosu said excitedly.

Yao Chen will not become popular until "Martial Arts Story" is released next year, and one drama will propel her into the ranks of first-line actresses.

Yao Chen has no confidence now.

Because the crew of "Wulin Gaiden" was very poor, no one was optimistic about this drama at the beginning. For a period of time, it was hit by many investment obstacles, and no one was willing to invest money.

Not to mention Yao Chen as an actor, let alone screenwriters and directors, they would not dare to dream that "Wulin Gaiden" could be popular all over the country, otherwise they would be regarded as crazy.

Compared with the second female lead in Li Yu's drama, the future of "Wulin Gaiden" is uncertain, the second female lead in Li Yu's drama is really more attractive. At least that was the case before "Wulin Gaiden" started airing.

In particular, Tang Yan has become famous recently. The character who made Tang Yan famous is the second female lead written by Li Yu.

Yao Chen began to look forward to it.

If she were to meet Tang Yan's luck, wouldn't she also become famous?
  So she and Ling Xiaosu came to Hualiu Company with joy.

How great is the expectation, how great is the disappointment.

After reading the script, Yao Chen discovered that the second female lead she was going to play was a villain and a mistress.

She hesitated.

This is not a good role.

Any actress on the rise of her career will try to avoid such roles.

Because once the audience is allowed to form a stereotype, the drama is completely blocked.

It was precisely because of this worry that Yao Chen backed down.

Li Yu saw Yao Chen's thoughts and added: "I plan to choose the second female lead first and then the first male lead."

Subtext, if you don't play the second female lead, Ling Xiaosu's male lead will be gone.

Ling Xiaosu looked at Yao Chen with pleading eyes.

He finally got a chance to be the leading actor, and it was written by Li Yu himself.

Many actors in the industry couldn't wait for such a good opportunity, and he definitely didn't want to give it up easily.

Li Yu paused and said, "Sister Yao, you are worried that after playing the role of Ellie, your acting career will be limited by this role, right? In fact, you don't need to worry about this at all!

You are different from other actresses in that you won’t face the problems they face.

Even what is a disaster for them is a blessing for you! "

Yao Chen raised his eyebrows, unable to figure out the meaning of Li Yu's words.

How is she different from other actresses?
  Why does other people's disasters become her blessings?
  "Director Li, I am willing to listen to your teachings!"

Yao Chen's interest has been piqued.

"We can do this. In the early stage of publicity, we should focus on promoting Yao Senior that you only agreed to play the role of Ellie for the sake of Senior Ling's career.

How popular the Golden Boy is, doesn’t Senior Yao not know about it?

With the good image of you and Senior Ling being deeply in love and willing to sacrifice for each other, everyone will naturally preliminarily characterize you as a model couple.

With this prerequisite, the better your performance in the play, the more dedicated the audience will think you are! The more I like you, this magical couple with acting skills! "

Li Yu said with confidence.

After saying these words, both Yao Chen and Ling Xiaosu cast admiring glances at Li Yu!
  What a marketing hype genius!
  It is really exciting to directly give the audience a good image of a loving couple.

It can not only offset the negative impact of a role like a scumbag mistress, but also attract a large number of fans.

Yao Chen and Ling Xiaosu finally understood why Li Yu was called the celebrity philosopher's stone.

With such superb marketing techniques and high-quality works, isn’t it just to make someone famous?
  "Director Li, you are so talented. You have provided us with a new path that we have never imagined."

Ling Xiaosu said excitedly.

Yao Chen was also moved.

She thinks Li Yu's suggestion is advisable.

From the way she read the script, she could tell that Ellie's character had the potential for fire.

The reason why she was hesitant before was that she was afraid of being bound by the role.

Li Yu's suggestion perfectly solved this problem.

She took on the role of mistress because of her boyfriend and because she loved her boyfriend.

Her image is simply not too positive.

As long as "Home to Temptation" becomes popular, the two of them can soar into the sky like Li Yu's previous celebrities.
