China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 335 Huang Xiaoming: It’s broken, I’ve become a fool
As coal mines and other resources were gradually returned to government ownership in the past few years, the glory days of coal bosses are gone forever.

Many coal bosses who entered the entertainment industry with money to invest have quit.

Liu Heping, like many screenwriters and directors in the industry, prefers coal bosses who have more money and fewer things to do than ordinary investment capital.

Because the coal boss usually only has one request, to find a certain actress to play the leading female role, or to have his lover play the leading female lead or second female lead.

As long as the coal boss's requirements are met, they will not interfere in the rest of the affairs, and he will only invest money.

At most, after the cooperation is settled, the coal boss will make another small request for positive energy in the private room.

Liu Heping really misses the days when coal bosses were in power. That period was the golden years for people like them.

It's a pity that I can't come back.

Fortunately, today he saw a bit of the legacy of the coal boss from Li Yu.

In areas that he is not good at, Li Yu really listens to the opinions of professionals and will never mess around. It is really comfortable to work with such people.

Liu Heping looked serious and said with emotion: "Director Li, I am not flattering you. It is really easy and comfortable to work with you. If there is a chance in the future, I would like to continue to cooperate with you."

Li Yu glanced at Liu Heping's face, smiled and said: "As long as you are willing, Mr. Liu, why don't you have the opportunity to work together?
In the future, I will continue to make historical films and fairy tale films with a certain historical background. When the time comes, I will have to ask you to help me with the plotting scenes.

By the way, if you want to produce your own film and television works and have difficulty investing, you can tell me and I can help you. "

"Director Li..."

The excitement on Liu Heping's face could not be concealed.

He was so moved that he was at a loss for words and didn't know what to say.

His output is very low, except for the fact that he has high requirements and it takes many years to polish a work. In fact, there is another very important reason: he does not like capital.

He is unwilling to bow to capital and modify characters and plots to cater to capital.

His scripts are too profound, to the point of being highbrow, and often have a high reputation but poor ratings.

He really lacked investment. His next film, "All Quiet in Peking," took seven years to prepare.

It just so happens that Li Yu is a director that everyone has great trust in.

Strictly speaking, Li Yu himself is a member of capital.

With Li Yu's endorsement, it will be much easier for Liu Heping to make his own film and television works in the future.

How could Liu Heping not be excited?

Li Yu waved his hand and said: "Teacher Liu, don't get too excited. I have read your "Yongzheng Dynasty" and "Ming 1566".

I am a big fan of those two TV series. Even though I personally don't like that dynasty, I still believe that "Yongzheng Dynasty" is one of the best historical dramas in China.

My investment in helping Zula can bring more high-quality TV dramas to the TV drama field in China. I and the audience can feast their eyes on it. What a great thing? "

"Director Li, just give me a call if you need my help in the future. As long as I have time, I will definitely come over to help."

Liu Heping was extremely grateful.

Li Yu was willing to help Liu Heping with the investment matter, which was actually investing in his own future.

With Liu Heping, a national first-level screenwriter, joining him, it will be slightly easier for him to realize his ambition in the film industry in the future.

Putting aside everything else, with Liu Heping helping as a screenwriting consultant, the film's depth and ratings will definitely increase a lot.

Half an hour later, Huang Xiaoming, an old acquaintance of Li Yu, showed up at Hualiu Company.

"Brother Xiao Ming, what brings you here?"

Li Yu asked with a slight smile on his face, knowingly.

"Director Li, do you still need to ask why I'm here? Casting for your new play is about to begin, and half of the entertainment industry is shaken.

Many people are trying to get roles through the back door, and that's what I'm here for. "

Huang Xiaoming is very direct and straight to the point. His emotional intelligence is always online. With Li Yu's intelligence, it is impossible not to know the purpose of his visit.

Rather than beating around the bush, it's better to state your purpose directly, which will be more honest and likable.

Li Yu appreciated Huang Xiaoming's directness, but he still looked at Huang Xiaoming warily: "Brother Xiao Ming, if you are here for Yang Tianbao, I advise you to retreat."

Huang Xiaoming had a wry smile on his face and laughed at himself: "Why do every time I contact a big shot now, they think I'm helping babies get roles?"

"Brother Xiao Ming, you can't blame everyone, you have to blame yourself. You have to be aware of what you have done in the past two years."

Li Yu said very directly.

"I'm so worried, Director Li..."

Huang Xiaoming is also aware of how hard he has worked to get resources for Yang Tianbao in the past two years. It is not an exaggeration to say that he has exhausted all his resources and connections.

In the end, Yang Tianbao was not popular, and he starred in two bad movies in a row, "The Dream Show" and "The Other Side".

In order to repay the favor, he played some greasy CEO roles, and his career and popularity dropped a lot.

Huang Xiaoming was silent for a long time, sighed, and said: "Baby and I have broken up."

This was something Li Yu didn't expect.

He originally thought that Huang Xiaoming would have to be dragged down by Yang Tianbao until he completely lost his popularity among the public before he would wake up.

This was the case in the original time and space. Huang Xiaoming has almost become synonymous with oily things in the world.

As long as someone mentions him, the whole Internet will be ridiculed.

Later, he and Yang Tianbao divorced, and his reputation improved instantly.

It can be seen that Yang Tianbao really defeated him.

After being surprised, Li Yu comforted him and said, "Brother Xiao Ming, you and Yang Tianbao are not the same person. It's good to break up. If you don't break up, audiences across the country will scold you in a few years."

"Baby and I are just having a relationship, and we haven't offended the audience. Why are they scolding me?"

Huang Xiaoming was suddenly startled, feeling that what Li Yu said was a bit too exaggerated.

"Didn't you offend the audience? You don't know who Yang Tianbao is and what her acting skills are, right?

You used your connections and resources to help her get roles everywhere, risked your life to support her, and let her appear on the screen to feed the audience. Do you call this not offending the audience?
Also, you really don’t know how ugly the bosses you played in order to repay the favor debt owed by her character are, right?

Can't you see how much your reputation has deteriorated in the past two years? "

Li Yu hit Huang Xiaoming in the face with a straight ball.

He was scolding Huang Xiaoming on behalf of the audience who were disgusted by Yang Tianbao.

If it weren't for Huang Xiaoming, how could Yang Tianbao, a has-been model from Hong Kong, be able to make waves in domestic entertainment?
She only stared at her when she was paid 80 million yuan, and the audience commented on her. She was unrepentant and said that she was worth the price.

In the words of Prime Minister Zhuge, I have never seen such a shameless person.

Most people would definitely not dare to talk to Huang Xiaoming like this, because it would be too embarrassing for Huang Xiaoming.

Li Yu is not afraid. He has achieved his status in the world and his relationship with Huang Xiaoming has always been good. He dares to say so.

Huang Xiaoming couldn't bear hearing Li Yu's sharp words at first. After calming down and thinking about it, he found that Li Yu's scolding was really right and there was nothing wrong with his scolding.

He also paid attention to a detail in Li Yu's words.

His reputation has really deteriorated a lot in the past two years, and he never thought that Yang Tianbao was the cause.

Li Yu's words really enlightened him.

At the same time, he also realized something terrible. He widened his eyes and looked at Li Yu with a bit of horror: "Director Li, you shouldn't have seen this a long time ago, right?"

After thinking of this, Huang Xiaoming got goosebumps all over.

If this is true, doesn't it mean that he has been no different from a fool in Li Yu's eyes in the past two years?
