China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 339: Experience the sweet joy
After the cast list of "The King of the Northern Dynasties" was announced, enthusiastic netizens directly put the TV series at the top of Weibo's hot search list.

The Chinese audience is actually very innocent and lovely. As long as the crew is willing to put their heart into making a good drama, they will really support it.

There are a lot of unpopular old dramas that were so popular when they first aired many years ago that no TV station is willing to buy the rights to broadcast them in a second round.

When netizens discover such works, they will spontaneously promote them without asking for anything in return.

Liu Heping's "Ming Dynasty 1566" was promoted spontaneously by a group of netizens and eventually became popular in the Internet era.

The quality of Li Yu's works has always been guaranteed, and he has never disappointed the audience. It is normal for everyone to give his full support.

As netizens brought the first wave of popularity, it was the turn of various media to follow up.

Zhalang News is the fastest.

"With only one cast list, it took the first place in Weibo's hot searches. I have to say that Director Li's influence is really too strong. It didn't become popular before it was aired, it became popular before it was filmed."

Following the precedent set by Zhalang, other media outlets have followed suit.

This place is a little worse, that place is a little worse, and together they are a lot worse. How can it become a divine drama?
Our country, China, has been a land of etiquette since ancient times. It is very necessary to give actors history and etiquette lessons. "

For example, Zhang Fei would yell and poke some transparent holes in someone he met, so he was ridiculed by everyone.

After evaluating the candy man, Li Yu added: "Shi Shi, don't underestimate these details. If one or two details are missing, you may not think it's a big deal.

"So Sugar Man can only be a small workshop, and in recent years there are signs of getting worse and worse."

The reason is simple. With so many people expecting and supporting him, he cannot produce a work that disappoints everyone.

Like "New Three Kingdoms", many details were not done well.

"Let us wait and see whether "The King of the Northern Dynasties" can recreate the glory of "Nirvana in Fire"."

The media's publicity and the continuous support from netizens have pushed the popularity of "The King of the Northern Dynasties" to a very high position.

Someone has tried the correct option and the wrong option for Li Yu. Of course, Li Yu will not be stupid enough to choose the wrong option.

There are very few directors in China who can become popular before filming, and Li Yu happens to be one of them.

"After several years, Director Li returned to the television industry again. The enthusiasm of the audience made everyone understand that even though he has been away for several years, Director Li is still the king of the television industry."

Even though the Southern and Northern Dynasties were in troubled times, a state of etiquette was still a state of etiquette.

The adjective "hot before filming" is very suitable for the situation.

In the following days, Li Yu gathered the actors confirmed to participate in the script reading.

Shi Shi couldn't help but ask Li Yu: "Brother Yu, are you too serious? I have been with the crew of Sugar Man before, and they are not as particular about filming as you are."

Let a professional history professor give the actors a history class and teach them the etiquette of the Southern and Northern Dynasties.

The Three Kingdoms were also in troubled times, and many details in "Old Three Kingdoms" were done very well, especially the etiquette aspect.

You have to know that the reason why a divine drama can become a divine drama is precisely because every detail of it strives for perfection.

Shi Shi sometimes wondered whether Li Yu was a maniac about details or someone with obsessive-compulsive disorder.

After seeing the high popularity of "The King of the Northern Dynasties" on the Internet, Li Yu did not become complacent. He became more cautious and his attitude towards this work became more serious.

Li Yu commented sharply.

At this moment, Shi Shi looked at Li Yu with eyes full of admiration.

This is why she has always admired and admired Li Yu.

Li Yu's attitude towards his works is as attentive as ever.

Shi Shi then asked Li Yu another question: "Brother Yu, who do you want to cast Gao Huan?"

The question Shi Shi asked was something Li Yu had been troubled by these days.

He and Liu Heping met many actors who wanted to play Gao Huan, but in the end they were not very satisfied.

It's really hard to find actors for Gao Huan. Gao Huan is too complicated. First of all, he must be handsome. This is the official history that cherishes words like gold. It clearly records handsome men.

In addition to being handsome, he must have the cunningness of a conspirator, his temperament should not be too righteous or too evil, and he must have a certain heroic spirit.

This role is really harder to choose than Cao Cao.

But then again, China is such a big country and there are so many actors.

It's a bit difficult, but as long as you work hard, you can definitely find the right actor.

Li Yu thought about it for a long time, and finally he thought of a suitable candidate-Zhang Zhen.

Zhang Zhen's age, temperament, and appearance are the actors Li Yu can think of that best fit Gao Huan's historical image.

"I think Zhang Zhen can do it. Gao Huan was in his thirties when he made his fortune. He is no longer considered a young man."

The more Li Yu thought about it, the more he felt that Zhang Zhen was suitable.

There is another advantage to casting Zhang Zhen to play Gao Huan.

Li Yu plans to make a movie for Shi Shi after "The King of the Northern Dynasties" and promote Shi Shi in the film circle.

The magic remake of "Xiu Chun Knife" will increase Shi Shi's role in the movie and make the plot more exciting, which will definitely be exciting.

It is worth mentioning that the movie "Embroidered Spring Knife" was also performed by Zhang Zhen and Shi Shi in the original time and space.

If "The King of the Northern Dynasties" is played first to set the stage, the future "Xiu Chun Dao" can completely hype the second life of Gao Huan and Lou Zhaojun.

In this way, the film's publicity work will be more effective, which will also help the film's performance.

The director of "Embroidered Spring Knife", Lu Yang, also graduated from the Beijing Film Academy's directing department. He is one year below Li Yu and is Li Yu's junior.

Li Yu and Lu Yang had met several times in school before.

According to the media reports after "Xiu Chun Knife" became popular, no one paid attention to this movie for four years, and no investors were optimistic about it at all.

If Li Yu guessed correctly, Lu Yang is currently worrying about film investment.

Li Yu only needs to invest a sum of money to activate the movie at any time.

"Isn't Zhang Zhen a movie actor? Will he act in a TV series?"

Shi Shi asked rhetorically.

"Can his film resources be as great as that of Da Tiantian? Even Da Tiantian has acted in TV series, why can't he act in it?

Besides, he really likes acting in movies, so I can compensate him with a movie. "

Li Yu said very grandly.

Can he say that he later filmed a TV series like Zhang Zhen? He starred together with Ni Ni in "Chen Xi Yuan".

The quality of this TV series is quite good, and the ratings are quite high. However, the ratings can only be described as smashing, and investors have lost money.

Again, in the future, even movie stars like International Zhang will have to come down to earth, let alone others.

Shi Shi's expression was a little surprised: "In order to invite Zhang Zhen to play Gao Huan, isn't the cost of setting up a movie a bit high?"

"It's not big, just tens of millions? It's not like we don't have any."

After Li Yu said these words, he finally experienced the sweet happiness.

You can be really tough when you have money.

Li Yu's net worth already exceeds ten figures, and tens of millions is really nothing to him.

What's more, "Xiu Chun Dao" will not lose money, but can also make a fortune while supporting charity. What a great thing?
As for giving Zhang Zhen a movie, "Xiu Chun Knife" itself starred him. Li Yu just let the movie be released in advance. Giving him this role that was originally his two years in advance was not a big deal at all.
