China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 451 Fighting Hollywood

In the future, the filming of Li Yu's new drama will continue.

Movie kings and veteran actors such as Chen Baoguo and Fu Dalong took turns to perform.

No post-processing is needed, and it’s really enjoyable to watch them acting on the set.

During this period, Da Tiantian came to the crew to play a guest role.

This is a relatively serious historical political drama with many female characters, but most of them don't have many roles.

Da Tiantian’s arrival was purely a friendly appearance.

Li Yu assigned Da Tiantian the role of the Crown Princess.

This princess was killed after showing up a few times.

Because in history, Crown Prince Yang Yong did not like the Crown Princess whose marriage his mother arranged for him, and he did not have any children with her, but did have many sons with other concubines.

This incident made his mother Dugu Jialuo very unhappy.

After the Crown Princess died, Dugu Jialuo still suspected that she was poisoned by Yang Yong and other concubines.

In addition, Yang Guang fanned the flames, making Yang Jian and Dugu Jialuo very dissatisfied with Yang Yong.

The idea of ​​deposing the crown prince also started from this time.

Yang Yong's self-destructive behavior and the sinister Yang Guang's constant mud-slinging successfully shook Yang Yong's position as the crown prince.

Da Tiantian witnessed Fu Dalong's acting skills with her own eyes during the few days she guest-starred on the crew.

Yang Guang, played by Fu Dalong, was playing games with a group of beauties the previous second.

When playing games with beautiful women, Fu Dalong acted out Yang Guang's debauchery and lust.

When he learned that his mother had come to his home, he locked up all the women except the princess, that is, his wife, in a separate courtyard.

All the children he had with those women were locked up in the separate courtyard.

He also warned his servants not to let anyone hear the baby's noise coming from the other courtyard.

Then, in front of his mother, he and the princess acted as a loving couple.

He also said that he learned from his parents and all his brothers were born to his father the emperor and his mother the queen.

All his children were born to the princess, and he would not favor any woman other than the princess.

Fu Dalong's acting is impeccable.

In front of the beauties he kept in his golden house, he was a licentious man.

In front of his parents, he is a filial son who learns everything from his parents.

He felt extremely aggrieved when he told tales and slandered his elder brother in front of his mother.

He played an ambitious man worthy of an Oscar.

Da Tiantian, who came to guest-star as a blind historian, couldn't help but complain after watching the plot she was going to play: "This Crown Prince Yang Yong is too stupid. The Crown Princess is a girl from a high-class family that her parents spent a lot of effort to help him marry, just to help him consolidate his position as Crown Prince.

If he and the Crown Princess have a child, his position will definitely be stable.

As a result, he ignored the Crown Princess and favored other women. Isn't this courting death? No wonder he was deposed in the end.

Yang Guang was not a good person either. He locked up the child he had with another woman. This is not something a human being would do."

Da Tiantian felt like her three views were about to collapse.

In political intrigue dramas, isn't the prince who finally succeeds in seizing the throne always an outstanding prince with good character and good conduct?
How come in Li Yu's new drama, each prince is more licentious than the other, and the one who wins is just particularly good at pretending.

"Tiantian, this is reality. The pure and flawless prince who won is just your fantasy. He is a character in an ancient puppet drama. The real drama is so dark and so real."

Li Yu replied.

After chatting for a while, Da Tiantian mentioned Wang Jing's "Joy of Life". Da Tiantian said incredulously: "Did Director Wang find something on Chen Daoming? I heard that Chen Daoming refused to participate in the film at first.

I don’t know what happened later, but Chen Daoming actually gave in. Isn’t that strange?
I even asked Director Wang about this, but he kept it a secret and refused to reveal any useful information.

Li Yu, the mastermind, nodded silently, thinking that Wang Jing was indeed a smart man.

Even with Da Tiantian, Wang Jing did not sell him out.

"How can you think so badly of someone? Maybe Teacher Chen was just moved by Director Wang's sincerity, or maybe Teacher Chen was attracted by the excellent role of Emperor Qing...

These can all be reasons to change his mind, why can't you think positively? "

Li Yu criticized Da Tiantian.

He couldn't tell Da Tiantian that it was his plan, right?
Da Tiantian scratched her head. Was she really overthinking? But her intuition told her that things were not that simple.

After Da Tiantian received her lunch box and left, the filming in the crew continued.

Filming lasted from mid-April to October, and the first film in the Game of Thrones series, "The End of the Game", was finally completed.

The main reason is that the plot of this drama is very compact, with only forty episodes in the whole series.

Moreover, for an experienced director like Li Yu, taking more than five months to shoot forty episodes was considered very slow.

In the past, he was not as skilled in filming idol dramas as he is now, and he could finish twenty or so episodes in one or two months.

It took five months to polish it carefully in pursuit of quality.

During the more than five months that Li Yu was filming the new drama, many major events happened in the Chinese film industry.

The billion-dollar box office achievement has become worthless in just five months.

“Lost in Thailand” directed by Ning Hao has only been released for a few days, but it is gaining momentum and is definitely heading for a billion box office.

This movie made director Ning Hao and leading actors Huang Bo, Xu Zheng and others famous again.

Including "Journey to the West: Havoc in Heaven" released in January this year, there have been two movies that have grossed over 1 billion this year.

Even more frightening is "Transformers 4: Age of Extinction" which will be released at the end of June this year.

The performance of this movie in the mainland is really beyond the reach of many mainland directors, because the box office of this movie is 19.79 billion.

Not only did it break the 15.1 billion box office record set by Li Yu last year, it also raised the new record by nearly million.

In recent months, some people have been urging Li Yu to speed up the process and release "Operation Nujiang" before the end of the year.

Li Yu was filming on the set at the time and responded in a panacea manner.

He had just returned to the capital not long ago when the other party started urging him again.

This time, Li Yu didn't play Tai Chi anymore and directly stated that the film would not be released by the end of the year and would have to wait until next year.

One reason is that Li Yu wanted to take his time and polish the details of "Operation Nujiang River".

Another reason was that Bona and Xu Ke greeted Li Yu at the same time, saying that their "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" would be released at the end of the year.

Li Yu has a good relationship with Bo Na, and also has a good relationship with Xu Ke.

They have already given notice in advance, so it would not be a good idea for Li Yu to let his new film interfere with them.

Besides, Li Yu doesn’t want to fight against his own people, and his opponent is not “Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy”.

Foreign blockbusters such as "Fast and Furious 7", "Avengers 2" and "Jurassic World" will dominate the entire Chinese film industry next year.

To fight against Hollywood, you have to confront Hollywood blockbusters head-on.

These foreign language blockbusters are his real rivals.

Let "Operation Nujiang" compete head-on with these blockbusters next year.
