China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 433 The correct answer came to the audition

"I heard this is a movie about bringing villains to justice. Should I take part in special training?"

Huang Xiaoming and Li Yu have collaborated more than once.

He was well aware of how strict Li Yu was, and when filming ancient history blockbusters like "Guan Du" and "The Great Wall", he paid history professors and etiquette teachers to give lectures to the actors.

Li Yu is particularly strict about details.

He has no experience in playing a policeman, so if he wants to act properly he will have to undergo special training.

"Of course, there will be professional retired police officers to teach you."

Li Yu replied.

If you want to make a good movie, you have to stick to the real thing.

Huang Xiaoming could already feel the heavy pressure.

Li Yu’s movies are indeed not easy to act in.

But as long as he performs well, his future will definitely be bright.

Therefore, no matter how difficult or stressful it is, he has to seize this opportunity.

This is the second male lead, the second male lead in Li Yu's movies. If he doesn't want to do it, there are plenty of people who will do it.

In the following week, Li Yu and two assistant directors, Wu Jing and Cao Qing, selected actors together.

By the way, there is also a special adviser sent by the highest government.

The special adviser was particularly pleased with the actors selected by Li Yu.

Because this week, Li Yu selected young actors such as Zhang Yi and Du Jiang from the actors who participated in the audition.

That’s right, many of these people later became the leading actors in “Operation Red Sea”.

"Operation Nujiang" and "Operation Red Sea" have certain similarities.

"Operation Red Sea" tells the story of a special forces team escorting the overseas Chinese bridge to evacuate and then fighting with a terrorist organization.

"Operation Nujiang River" tells the story of a special operations team going to Siam to capture a villain and fighting fiercely with the villain's men and the villain's protectors.

Actors who can perform well in "Operation Red Sea" can naturally perform well in "Operation Nujiang River".

The correct answer came for the audition, and Li Yu of course preferred to choose the verified correct answer.

"I've heard before that Director Li doesn't look at fame when selecting actors, he only looks at whether his acting skills and image are suitable for the role. The rumor turned out to be true."

The consultant particularly admired Li Yu's style.

Take Zhang Yi for example. Although he starred in "Soldier Assault" in 06, he was not as lucky as Wang Baoqiang.

It was a phenomenally popular TV series, but he didn't get any benefit at all.

After starring in "Soldier Assault", he was not famous at all, and was only discovered slowly a few years later.

He didn't really become famous until the 15 version of "Dear", for which he successfully won the Best Actor Award. With his accumulated experience, he started to receive more acting offers.

The 18 drama "Operation Red Sea" was his battle to become a god, making him one of the representatives of the Mesozoic era actors and eventually becoming a billion-dollar movie star.

It’s similar with General Du, he became famous thanks to “Operation Red Sea”.

It’s a bit of an exaggeration to say that the two of them are now obscure. It’s not an exaggeration at all to describe them as third-tier actors.

Li Yu couldn’t say he had seen the answer, so he replied: “The fame of an actor cannot determine the quality and performance of a film.

If actors could achieve this effect simply by being famous, those veteran superstars in Hong Kong would not have bad movies.”

The quality of a movie is what matters.

The actor's name can only serve as icing on the cake, but it does not have the effect of providing timely help.

For example, if you let an actor who is recognized as the most capable box office actor star in "Dreaming of Show Business", the final result will be the same, and the movie will fail as it should.

After finalizing the main actors, Li Yu arranged for them to attend training courses. In order to perform the charm of the special operations team in the movie, they had to learn various professional tactical movements, bullet reloading movements, and teamwork.

Make them as unlikely as the real-life special operations team, and let them learn the appearance so that the audience can't find fault with them.

After arranging all this, Li Yu got a few days of rest.

A few days later, the National Day holiday arrived as scheduled.

The day for "Wolf Warrior" and "If You Are the One 3" to be released has arrived.

On the National Day, Li Yu and Wu Jing bought movie tickets and took people to the cinema to watch the movie "If You Are the One 3".

This movie is not much different from the version released ten years later. It's not terribly bad, but it's definitely not that good either.

Feng's comedy is really out of touch with the times and is a bit behind the times.

What’s even worse is that not only does it fail to keep up with the times, its quality is also not as good as the comedies during Feng Xiaogang’s peak period.

The box office may be good, but the word of mouth will definitely be terrible.

To be honest, making a movie like this is equivalent to destroying one's reputation among the audience.

"If You Are the One 3" achieved million on the first day.

After all, this is a series, and the two previous works have accumulated a lot of fans.

Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior" only earned more than 40 million yuan on the first day.

Although there is a gap of 3 million compared with If You Are the One 3, no one would compare If You Are the One with Wolf Warrior.

One is a veteran famous director, who was known as the troika of mainland films together with Zhang Yingmou and Chen Kaige in the 2000s.

The other is the work produced by an actor who changed his job to become a director.

"Wolf Warrior" did not perform as well as "If You Are the One 3", and no one would make fun of Wu Jing.

On the contrary, people will find that "Wolf Warrior" is better than "If You Are the One 3".

"Wolf Warrior" is not a masterpiece, it is just a popcorn thriller, but there is no doubt that its quality is higher than "If You Are the One 3".

One week after their release, very strange situations occurred with the two movies "Wolf Warrior" and "If You Are the One 3".

The box office of If You Are the One 3 is ahead of Wolf Warrior.

However, the audience reputation of "Wolf Warrior" is much better than that of "If You Are the One 3".

Feng Xiaogang realized later that he seemed to have been a stepping stone for Wu Jing, allowing Wu Jing to become famous by stepping on him.

The audience's reviews of these two films are the best proof.

"A biased fantasy movie. In this era, it still contains a boring fantasy of two women sharing one man and fighting for his favor.

I have to say that "If You Are the One 3" is really not as good as "Wolf Warrior" which was filmed by one actor.

"Wolf Warrior" has many flaws and shortcomings, but as long as it is not compared with those excellent foreign blockbusters of the same theme.

Speaking only of domestic films, "Wolf Warrior" is considered to be a good film of the same type in China.

What about If You Are the One 3? Compared with similar domestic films, it is also a bad movie. "

"Feng Xiaogang is really not good enough. How could he make such a bad movie? It's totally incomparable to 1942. It's really embarrassing that a famous director can't make a movie as good as a new director."

"I finally understand why If You Are the One 3 didn't dare to be released during the Lunar New Year holiday this year. With this quality, it can't even beat Wolf Warrior, so how can it beat The Great Wall?"

Wu Jing himself did not expect that such enormous wealth would come so quickly.

With the help of his rival Feng Xiaogang, he has already established a firm foothold as a director.

If it weren't for the poor performance of Feng Xiaogang's opponent, he would never have received so much praise.
