China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 340 The Immortal Acting Skills of Veteran Actors
Shi Shi was shocked by Li Yu's sweet speech.

She was envious, and she really hoped that one day she could say such arrogant words.

Unfortunately, it was destined to be difficult for her.

She is just an actor. Nowadays, a salary of several million is considered very high. Even if she is very popular, tens of millions is still a lot of money for her.

"Brother Yu, what kind of movie did you promise Zhang Zhen?"

Shi Shi chose to change the topic. She was quite interested in the movie Li Yu was talking about.

"In an action martial arts movie, the heroine will definitely be yours, but I won't direct this movie."

Li Yu's answer was very concise.

Martial arts films have completely declined. No matter how good they are, they will not achieve very impressive results due to their niche subject matter.

If you can't hold it to death, it's five or six billion.

"Xiu Chun Knife" only had a box office of over 90 million in its previous life because it encountered two very fatal problems.

Shi Shi is very satisfied that the movie has achieved this result.

Shi Shi's eyes immediately regained their luster.

She would rather star in a movie directed by Li Yu.

"Really?"

She was already looking forward to the movie.

Shi Shi's mood changed from expectation to disappointment.

Secondly, the crew is too poor, and the publicity work is very poor, and one can even say that it is a piece of shit.

With "The King of the Northern Dynasties" laying the foundation, the movie will not lack popularity. If you spend more money and do the details better, it is not impossible to touch 5 million. "

First, regarding the subject matter, martial arts is really out of date.

At present, Li Yu no longer looks down upon such achievements.

Don't look at the domestic box office record, which was pushed to more than 10 billion by Li Yu and Zhang Yingmou.

"Brother Yu, I believe you."

Within two years, basically no one in the country will be able to touch that number again.

In this context, a box office of 3 million would be considered good, and a box office of 5 million would be no problem if it entered the top ten of the Chinese film box office list.

That's just a special case.

Li Yu said firmly: "Shi Shi, have I lied to you? I said if it can achieve this result, the movie must have this result. If the result is not up to standard, I will give you a supplementary movie."

Shi Shi recalled that Li Yu had indeed never lied to her.

Li Yu was able to capture the flash of disappointment in Shi Shi's eyes, and he added: "I didn't direct the movie, but the box office won't be too bad, at least over 3 million.

If she can really reach 5 million, then she will also be the heroine of a movie with a box office of 5 million.

Of course, Li Yu is so confident.

The subject matter itself is unpopular, and the publicity work is not done well. It's damn good if the results are good.

The combination of these two factors kept "Xiu Chun Knife" in a tepid state during its release.

It was not until the movie was released that it was released on video websites, and more viewers discovered the movie, and the movie really became popular.

In other words, the potential of "Xiu Chun Knife" was simply not fully exploited during its release.

With investment from Li Yu, the most fatal publicity problem will be solved.

It's not that Li Yu is bragging. With his current status in the film industry, he only needs to help him stand on the stage, and the popularity of the film can easily increase.

What's more, there is also a movie called "The King of the Northern Dynasties" that can give the movie another wave of popularity.

With extensive publicity, increased investment, and further enhanced quality, "Xiu Chun Dao" has a box office of over 3 million, and there is really no problem at all.

half a month later.

"The Royal Family of the Northern Dynasties" officially started shooting in Hengdian.

At the opening ceremony, Li Yu was very low-key. His speech was impeccable and he did not give reporters any chance to make an issue out of his words. Huang Xiaoming and Shi Shi were very confused about this.

Ordinary directors are eager to say something hot and exciting, but Li Yu actually chose to go in the opposite direction.

Huang Xiaoming took the initiative to ask Li Yu.

Li Yu's answer was: "Brother Xiao Ming, let me ask you a question, what is the purpose of the popularity?"

Huang Xiaoming thought to himself: Does such a simple question require thinking with your brain? He didn't need to think and answered directly: "It's to let more people know that such a TV series has been launched."

Li Yu chuckled softly and said: "Do you think there are not many people who know "The Royal Industry of the Northern Dynasty"?"

"How can it be less? Our "Northern Dynasties" only released a cast list and it easily reached the top of Weibo's hot searches.

It is no exaggeration to say that most netizens now know our TV series. "

"Isn't this the end? "The King of the Northern Dynasties" has been gaining popularity since the day the filming news leaked, and the popularity is even a little too high.

In a situation like this, we should stop raising the heat and find ways to lower the heat.

Because something appears frequently in everyone's field of vision, even if it is really good, people will feel bored.

Besides, wouldn’t the result be the same whether I stir-fry it or not? "The Royal Family of the Northern Dynasties" is already the most anticipated and popular TV series this year, bar none.

You are already number one, how do you want to improve? "

Li Yu said again.

"..."

Huang Xiaoming and Shi Shi were speechless.

They knew that Li Yu was in Versailles, but they felt that Li Yu's words made sense.

There's really nothing wrong with it. We're already number one. How can we improve further?
Huang Xiaoming was so impressed that he said, "Director Li, I'm afraid there is only one person in the entire entertainment industry who has the confidence to speak like this."

Shi Shi agreed: "I think so too."

After the filming officially started, the performance of the veteran actors did not disappoint Li Yu.

Although it was only the first day of filming, it was already getting better for the veteran actors. When they competed with each other, they could occasionally contribute some famous scenes with explosive acting skills.

For example, in this drama, the two heroes Gao Huan and Yu Wentai meet for the first time.

After the scene was called "321", Fu Dalong entered the scene in one second and showed Yu Wentai's magnanimity and courage.

Zhang Zhen's acting skills are also good. He demonstrated the wisdom of a hero.

The moment he saw Yuwentai, he concluded that this person would definitely be extraordinary in the future.

The eye play and micro-expressions are all very good, and these can be observed on Li Yu's monitor.

Director Li Yu enjoys the filming process very much, because watching these great actors perform through the monitor is a pleasure in itself.

Li Yu regained the feeling of filming "In Name". It was really easy to work with a bunch of powerful actors.

There is no need for him as a director to train, the actors themselves can perform great effects.

After clicking, Li Yu praised without hesitation: "Very good, very good. Once again, your performance is impeccable."

In the next filming sequence, actors with more explosive acting skills, such as Tang Guoqiang and Wang Jinsong, appeared one after another. Their performances truly interpreted what it means to fight between gods.

Even Huang Xiaoming, whose acting skills are quite high, is a little desperate: "The acting skills of these old actors are too strong. I feel that it is difficult for me to keep up with them."

Huang Xiaoming is in pain and happiness now.

Painful because there was too much pressure, happy because he found that this drama was stronger than he imagined.

As an actor, he already found it enjoyable and wonderful to watch the veteran actors perform on the set.

After you go back and complete the editing and other post-production work, the picture will only be more perfect. How exciting will the real finished film be? Huang Xiaoming felt that he couldn't even imagine it.

He only knows that this is definitely a high-quality TV series that far exceeds the quality of "Nirvana in Fire".

By the way, while Li Yu was concentrating on filming, another big event happened in the industry.
