China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 154 Fan Xiaopang risked his life

Thousands of dollars can only be said to be a small amount for Da Tiantian. If you lose, you lose, it doesn't matter at all.

Li Yu has been in the directing industry for more than two and a half years, and he can be called one of the most successful directors in recent years.

From novice director to TV director to established director and now film director.

The money Li Yu has earned in the past two or three years is enough to make everyone in the industry look up to him.

Fan Xiaopang, the most popular actress last year, is already considered the ceiling of the artist's money-making list, but she still cannot be compared with Li Yu.

However, Li Yu, who is envied by countless people in the industry, looks like a pauper in front of Da Tiantian!

Li Yu, whose net worth is barely less than 300 million, dare not say that it doesn't matter if he loses thousands of dollars.

After Da Tiantian's domineering speech ended, Uncle Lu immediately said that Da Tiantian was right.

He even generously proposed that Li Yu would only take one script as a stake, and he could have a 30% share. He invested the money for this movie.

In short, if the movie is a hit at the box office, Li Yu can get 30% of the profit.

If this movie fails, Li Yu only paid for a script, and all the losses will be borne by them.

What is the flower of wealth in the world?

If it were Li Yu who was just starting out more than two years ago, after seeing Da Tiantian's arrogance, he would probably shut down Hualiu Company directly and hold on to Da Tiantian's long legs.

After careful discussion, Li Yu quickly found a director for Da Tiantian - Cao Qing.

This person has no name in Yuan Kong's film and television industry. He is Li Yu's senior and a graduate of Beijing Film Academy's directing department.

There are only a few people who can make it in the directing department. Many people work for a few years after graduation with unsatisfactory results and then change careers. Some even change careers directly after graduation and can't find a job.

The rise of Li Yu changed Cao Qing's fate.

When Li Yu was filming Full House, Teacher Gao helped him find photographers and assistant directors from the school, and Cao Qing was one of them.

Cao Qing followed Li Yu through the filming of the Idol Trilogy, and also assisted in "Signal" and "Those Years".

He has accumulated relatively rich experience.

Li Yu planned to dig out this senior and let him be as independent as Li Muge.

He actually has more practical experience than Li Muge, but his talent is not as good as Li Muge.

But he is a very good executor. Li Yu wrote the script in great detail. He even drew the storyboard drawings of the movie.

He didn't have to have any ideas of his own when filming this movie, he just had to follow the script given by Li Yu.

Li Yu believes that he is qualified for this job because he has accumulated a lot of experience.

"Director Li, are you serious? Do you really want me to direct a movie?
  I have never had the experience of directing a play independently before, so I always stayed by your side to help you. "

Cao Qing was really flattered!

Seeing that Li Muge successfully transitioned from assistant director to full-time director and filmed the hit "The Best Uniform", as someone who has been with Li Yu for a longer time, he must be comforting himself by saying that he is not envious.

The important thing about him is that he has self-awareness, and he is envious. He knows that his abilities are limited.

Li Muge can take people around the new province for shooting, and he is very talented at photographing scenery and beauties.

His qualifications are a bit mediocre compared to Li Muge. He shoots whatever Li Yu tells him. Most of the time, his own ideas are not as good as Li Yu's.

It is precisely because his qualifications are relatively average that he feels that happiness comes too suddenly.

Li Yu's high regard made him a little embarrassed.

"Senior Cao, you graduated five years earlier than me and had more than four years of work experience before me.

From following me on "Full House" to "Those Years", you have accumulated a lot of experience.

I believe that you are qualified for this job.

I have drawn the complete script and storyboards, and you just have to follow the script and storyboards. "

Li Yu dared to let Cao Qing serve as the director of this movie, which must have been a decision made after careful consideration. For a director like Cao Qing who lacks imagination, it may be difficult for him to come up with his own story and make a movie.

You provide him with scripts and storyboards, and let him be a tool. He can produce the effects you want.

This is also the reason why Li Yu takes Cao Qing with him every time he shoots a movie.

Many times, Li Yu clearly told him the effect he wanted, and the pictures he took could achieve that effect.

Li Yu had already spoken for this reason, so Cao Qing refused.

"Director Li, I'm grateful that you think highly of me and are willing to trust me, a director who has never filmed independently.

I will definitely take it very seriously and try not to let you down! "

Cao Qing promised seriously.

Li Yu believes that this is his first time to direct a film independently, and he will definitely take it very seriously.

Li Yu said: "Do your best! I hope your performance will not disappoint me."

Since then, "The Temptation of Going Home" and Da Tiantian's film debut have been on track.

"Secret Sun" directed by Li Yu himself should also be officially put on the agenda.

The male protagonist of this movie is an uncle in his thirties or forties. This role can just be given to Zu Feng.

He gained 30 pounds while filming "The Signal" and has not completely lost weight yet. He has the greasiness and vicissitudes of a middle-aged man, so it is perfect for him to play this role.

Zu Feng himself liked this kind of challenging role, so he agreed without hesitation. After getting the script from Li Yu, he began to study the role seriously.

Li Yu is currently looking for a candidate for the heroine.

This movie revolves around the heroine. The heroine is the core of the whole movie. The heroine is the most outstanding character in the whole movie.

Fan Xiaopang probably heard something about it, so he quickly called Li Yu: "Director Li, you want to make a literary film to be judged at the European Film Festival next year. The news has spread in the circle.

With our close and intimate relationship, why don’t you consider me as the heroine of the movie? "

Li Yu asked back: "Sister Binbin, aren't you filming that movie "The Great Sage"?"

Fan Xiaopang let out a long sigh: "If you had said you wanted to make a literary film, I wouldn't have taken on this film. You know how fast directors here in Hong Kong make movies."

I'm just acting as a supporting actor, there won't be many scenes, and the filming will be completed soon. "

As the most popular actress in mainland China last year, it was really frustrating for her to have to co-star for a Hong Kong actress in a movie!
  There is nothing that can be done about this. Currently, China's film resources are very limited, and the resources are basically concentrated in the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles and around a few major mainland directors.

The Hong Kong and Taiwan circles are exclusive, and it is basically impossible for mainlanders to get into the main roles.

There are several major mainland directors like Zhang Yingmou, and they all have good actresses, such as Gong Huang.

It’s true that she, like Xiaopang, has returned to fame and is unable to find good film resources.

In an era when actors had strict hierarchies, it was impossible to get to the top and status if you didn't make movies.

Therefore, she still has to accept movies starring Hong Kong actresses who are not as popular as she is.

As for Li Yu, of course he is willing to give priority to his own people if conditions permit.

As Fan Xiaopang said, he and Fan Xiaopang have already had a negative relationship, and of course they are considered their own.

However, he was vaguely worried: "Sister Binbin, the heroine of my movie is very important, and the requirements for acting skills are slightly higher.

And the heroine is a single mother, you are so beautiful. "

Fan Xiaopang can do it when it's time to do it. She gritted her teeth and said: "I don't want a paycheck! I can act old and ugly! If I can't perform in a demanding part, I can reshoot it over and over again, which is a waste of film. I'll pay for it."

In order to win this role, Fan Xiaopang really went all out.

She wants to pay money to act and see which actress can beat her.
