China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 323: On how good the gods are at choosing dramas

Seeing that "The Taiping Wheel" was clearly calculated by Li Yu, Zhang Yingmou couldn't help but take a breath.

He couldn't help but sigh, Li Yu was really following his words. He said that "The Taiping Wheel" was finished, and it was really finished.

Thinking of the quarrel he had with Li Yu at Hualiu Company before the project "Man Jiang Hong" was established.

The reason for the quarrel was that he wanted Li Yu to change the script and the ending.

Li Yu's comment at the time was that if it were shot according to his idea, the audience would clamor for a kneeling statue of him to be placed next to Qin Hui.

He definitely didn't believe it at the time. He thought it was not as exaggerated as Li Yu said.

Now that he believes it, he is glad that he did not succeed in changing the script.

"Wei Ping, why don't we bring Director Li over to serve as the screenwriting consultant for "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling"? I want him to help us check the script."

After a moment of silence, Zhang Yingmou put forward his own thoughts.

The "Police Story" series is a classic and a childhood memory for many people.

After "River Red" was completed, Cheng Long said that he planned to restart the "Police Story" series.

He plans to announce the project of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins" after the release of "A River Red", which he has been preparing for a long time, so as to ride on the popularity of "A River Red".

Therefore, he did not hesitate and decisively agreed to Zhang Yingmou's suggestion: "If you can invite him, I have no objection."

"You should listen to Li Yu on such a big matter."

This movie had a big impact on Da Tiantian.

Asking Li Yu to serve as a script consultant is beneficial and harmless.

Starlight Company.

He and Li Yu will have many opportunities to meet in the future.

In terms of vision and understanding of the market and the audience, even if they were bundled together, they would not be able to catch up with Li Yu.

At that time, Da Tiantian asked Li Yu for his opinion on whether he should cooperate with Cheng Long.

Zhang Yingmou nodded with satisfaction.

However, this "Police Story 2013" is purely a bad money-making sequel. It is a very ordinary bad movie, it is just ordinary and has no new ideas.

Li Yu's answer was to let Da Tiantian temporarily film a TV series to open up the nation, and not think about movies until he made arrangements.

Da Tiantian looked at the manuscript of "Police Story 2013" and fell into deep thought.

Zhang Weiping is a very pure businessman. In order to make the movie more popular, he can hire anyone who is popular, even if the person is not a professional actor.

Because of this movie, she won the 5th Golden Broom Award for Most Disappointing Actress.

"Okay, I will tell him next time I see him."

Li Yu knows very well what the market needs and what the audience wants to see. With Li Yu's help, the movie can increase the box office by at least tens of millions.

If nothing else goes wrong, the movie "Man Jiang Hong" should be released during the Spring Festival.

When it comes to filmmaking and art, Li Yu may not be able to catch up with him at the moment.

After careful consideration, Da Tiantian made the decision not to vote for the movie "Police Story 2013".

She believed in Li Yu's vision and judgment. Li Yu asked her to film a TV series first to lay a solid foundation. Li Yu must have reason.

As for what will happen if you don't listen to Li Yu, isn't the ready-made example of Wu Baige right there?
Li Yu said last year that "Tai Ping Wheel" is a bad movie that can outshine ten "Dream Showbiz" movies.

Wu Baige doesn't believe in evil, even if he sells off his assets.

No, Wu Baige had collapsed to the point where he frequently fell into unconsciousness, and even went so far as to form a team with Director Bi and sue him.

Da Tiantian doesn't want to fall into the same situation as Wu Baige and Bi Dao.

Also caught in a tangle is Liu Yifei.

Two or three years have passed since the "King of Kung Fu" incident, and Li Yu's "Dream Chasing Film Circle" has taken her flying again.

Recently, some mainland, Hong Kong and Taiwan crews have asked her to film movies. She thinks one of the scripts is quite good and she originally planned to follow it. Now she plans to ask Li Yu to help her check it.

She contacted Li Yu using the Penguin chat software and compiled the script of the movie she planned to take on into a document and sent it over.

Liu Yifei: "Li Yu, I think this movie script is very good. You can check it for me and tell me whether I want to take it or not."

After seeing the chat message sent by Liu Yifei, Li Yu had no intention of clicking to download the document.

He replied: "Sissi, you have to believe in your own vision."

Liu Yifei: "I understand. I will ask the studio people to contact the director tomorrow. I want to sign this movie."

Li Yu: "No, you misunderstood me. I mean, if even you think the script is very good, then it must be a bad movie."

Liu Yifei: "..."

The critical blow of this 999 knife almost made her vomit blood.

Do you want it to be so heartbreaking?
Is her sense of drama really that bad?

Yeah, that sucks.

After "The Condor", Liu Yifei and her team have never been right in picking roles, and they have never chosen the right answer once.

There is no need to question this sophisticated vision that has been stable for more than ten years.

Anything that Liu Yifei thinks is good can basically be passed on.

Although the battle of "Taiping Wheel" made Li Yu's prediction value rise sharply.

But after all, there are a few people who don’t believe in evil.

Wu Baige is one of them.

He was angry, he felt insulted.

Is he only worthy of teaming up with Director Bi?
Why would Li Yu put him and trash like Director Bi together?

He is a great director who has made great achievements in the past. He has made many outstanding historical achievements in the past. Is Director Bi worthy of comparing with him? Who do you look down on? Who are you insulting?
Jin Chengwu and others comforted him by saying, "Director Wu, we haven't lost yet. I observed that many viewers criticized the movie for being too slow, and the protagonists didn't board the ship for more than two hours.

You once said that the highlight of the movie is in the lower part, and the shipwreck is the real climax.

I believe that once the next part is released, everything will be fine. "

It’s not that Wu Baige doesn’t have eyes, he also knows that many viewers criticize him for dividing the movie into upper and lower parts.

Even now, he still doesn't want to believe that there was something wrong with his movie.

He could only agree with what Kim Sung-wu and others said that the real highlight is the second part. As long as the second part is released, the reputation will immediately turn around.

Yang Tianbao echoed: "Director Wu, as long as the second part is released, the excellent quality of the second part and the special effects that are not inferior to Hollywood movies will surely conquer the audience."

She entered the scene a bit late. The upper part had already been filmed, so Wu Baige could only write a new role for her in the lower part.

She hopes the second part will be released sooner than Wu Baige.

She desperately hopes to use "Tai Ping Huan: The Other Side" to wash away the shame brought to her by "Dream Showbiz" and Director Bi!

When Wu Baige saw everyone saying this, he thought about it with himself, and asked the person in charge of the post-production of the film: "How is the post-production of our second part going?"

The other party replied: "The lower part requires more special effects than the upper part. At present, only some of the special effects have not been fully completed."

Wu Baige made the decision on the spot: "Okay, give me more money, and the special effects must be completed before the Spring Festival. I want the second part to be released during the Spring Festival."

Wu Baige knew that his only hope for a comeback was the next installment of "The Other Side."

He has to stud when he wants to, he has to stud if he wants to, and he has to stud if he doesn't want to.

If the next one is unable to counterattack, he will never be able to survive in China's film industry.

He will become a director who has been abandoned by both Hollywood and the Chinese film market. If he wants to make a comeback, he will probably have to go to Africa.
