China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 266 Cheng Long: I’m willing to star in Director Li’s movie at a bargain price

Li Yu's sharp comments made Cheng Long's face darken, and his original smile disappeared.

No matter what, he is a well-known big brother in the industry.

Li Yu directly said that he and the people who helped him write the script did not understand history at all, which made him feel very humiliated.

Da Tiantian's expression was also mixed with surprise. She also thought that Li Yu's words were too harsh.

Even if Cheng Long's script is very ordinary, Li Yu can be more tactful!

Li Yu did not pay too much attention to the emotional changes of Cheng Long and Da Tiantian. He put down the script of "Heroes from Heaven" and spoke impassionedly.

“Our country is an ancient civilization with a splendid history of five thousand years. During these five thousand years, many great countries have been born on this land.

However, why do people today not regard themselves as people of Qin, Song, Ming, and Qing, but instead regard themselves as Han people?

Because the Han Dynasty was a powerful era that made modern people proud and proud.

A Han envoy arrived in the Western Regions and confidently told the king and courtiers of a country that the Han troops were coming, so do not move, otherwise the country would be destroyed.

It can only be said that Cheng Long's idea was good, but he imposed his idea on the Han Dynasty, which was destroyed by force alone.

He didn't know why, but a burning feeling arose in his heart.

What you just said really struck a chord with me.

At the end of the sentence, Li Yu wanted to laugh.

Li Yu can only make false claims, which is pure nonsense.

In a dynasty full of martial virtues, when you talk to me about peaceful development, unity and friendship, are you sure you are not doing it for fun?
The last person who preached peace in troubled times with many heroes was Wu Baige. "

Cheng Long was convinced and said: "Director Li, I finally understand why everyone says you are a great talent.

Cheng Long, who originally felt humiliated by Li Yu's sharp comments, was stunned after hearing what Li Yu said.

How can we have a family before the Huns are destroyed?
Anyone who openly offends a strong man will be punished no matter how far away he is.

In the entertainment industry, where cultural standards are generally low, people like Li Yu who graduated from prestigious schools are really considered top students.

Wherever the sun and moon shine, and where rivers reach, they are all Han lands.

So Li Yu smiled and accepted Da Tiantian's compliments.

He really wanted to laugh.

Da Tiantian's eyes were full of admiration for Li Yu. She felt passionate after hearing those stories: "Li Yu, you are so educated. I didn't expect you to know so much about the history of the Han Dynasty."

In the end, he could no longer survive and had no choice but to run to Europe, which indirectly led to the collapse of the Eastern Roman Empire.

It turns out that the history of the Han Dynasty was so passionate and soul-stirring.

These domineering declarations and deeds all come from that dynasty.

This is the Han Dynasty, the real Han Dynasty.

The powerful Xiongnu were beaten by the Han Dynasty and did not dare to go south to herd horses.

Looking at it this way, it is indeed inappropriate to apply the spiritual core of peaceful development to the Han Dynasty.

Your cultural heritage is really profound. I asked you to read a script for me. I didn’t expect to learn about the history of the Han Dynasty.

After hearing that you cited so many classic examples of the Han Dynasty that made modern people proud, I agree with you.

My story is not suitable to be placed in the Han Dynasty, and is incompatible with that era of abundant martial virtue. "

Cheng Long, who has never graduated from elementary school, can reach his current position because of his high emotional intelligence.

At the beginning, his hard work was criticized by Li Yu. He found it harsh and felt a little uncomfortable. It is human nature.

When Li Yu listed several allusions to the Han Dynasty, he realized that what he wanted to express was really inconsistent with the Han Dynasty. He immediately showed a humble attitude, praising Li Yu while admitting his own shortcomings.

He continued: "Director Li, could you please give me some advice and help me revise this script?"

Cheng Long believes that with Li Yu's talent, he can definitely make this script very good.

Even if Li Yu does not serve as the director of this movie, as long as the script is good enough and the director's ability is online, the birth of a masterpiece is inevitable.

With his current status in the world, it is not difficult to find a talented director.

Especially in Hong Kong circles, his reputation is still very high.

Da Tiantian stared at Li Yu intently, looking forward to Li Yu's answer.

Her "Step by Step" has a total of thirty episodes, and it won't take long to finish filming.

She has always been very eager to make movies, and she hopes that Li Yu can help her to ensure the quality of her movie. Li Yu looked at Da Tiantian and then at Cheng Long. After thinking for a moment, he suddenly came up with a very bold idea.

"Uncle Long, Tiantian, what do you think if Zhang Yingmou serves as the chief director of this movie?"

Li Yu expressed his thoughts.

Da Tiantian: "..."

Cheng Long: "..."

The two of them were extremely shocked.

Are you serious? Let Zhang Yingmou make this movie?
After the shock, Cheng Long's face immediately showed joy: "Director Li, it would be a great thing if Director Zhang can make this movie.

But we can’t afford to hire such a great director like Director Zhang! "

Da Tiantian nodded heavily, she recognized Zhang Yingmou's directorial ability very much.

Having Zhang Yingmou join is definitely a good thing.

"If I change a script, nine times out of ten he will come."

Li Yu said confidently.

Zhang Yingmou's "Three Guns" experienced a big flop, and he really wanted to make a good movie to once again prove his ability as the number one domestic director.

The script was written by Li Yu himself, so he will definitely be tempted by it.

In addition, there is a reason why Li Yu did not choose himself to star in this movie.

Because there is a Hollywood movie called "Avatar" that will be released in mainland China soon.

The production cost of this movie alone reached 3 million yuan.

It took in a box office of 13.78 billion yuan in the mainland, and the global box office reached an astonishing 29.23 billion yuan.

More than ten years later, this movie is still the top box office hit in global film history.

This is a very good science fiction masterpiece, using very advanced special effects technology.

In order to wait for the special effects technology to mature, the crew even stopped working.

Li Yu admires the spirit of the "Avatar" crew.

Their efforts deserve the film's achievement.

However, no matter how good someone else’s product is, it still belongs to someone else.

After this movie is released in China, all domestic movies will become dim in front of this movie.

The box office of 13.78 billion yuan is really scary.

Li Yu believes that he cannot currently handle a box office of more than 10 billion with his own identity and status.

But we cannot give up in the fight against Hollywood.

Because of this, Li Yu decided to let Zhang Yingmou, known as the National Master, direct this movie, hoping that the National Master can set a new domestic box office record.

It would be best to compete with "Avatar" in China.

Of course, Li Yu himself will also participate in the production of this film, and he can serve as the chief producer.

After the movie became a big success, he also had his credit in the credit book.

Li Yu did not tell Cheng Long and Da Tiantian about these inner thoughts.

Li Yu just said that he could invite Zhang Yingmou, and he had already scared them.

If Li Yu told them his inner thoughts, they would be even more frightened.

"Director Li, I really admire you. If you can really find Director Zhang, you can only give me a salary of 1500 million."

Cheng Long's face turned a little rosy.

Huang Baiming approached him to film "Ip Man", and he offered him a salary of 7000 million, saying it was a friendly price, which scared Huang Baiming away.

The salary of 1500 million is really a bargain for Cheng Long.

It is easy to understand that Cheng Long would make such a decision.

The screenwriter is Li Yu, the director is Zhang Yingmou, the financial backer is Da Tiantian, and the starring role is him, a world-famous superstar.

Even he didn't dare to think about the potential of this movie.
