China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 452 Visiting the Set of Joy of Life

Li Yu currently has two works in production: "Operation Nujiang River" and "The Great Deed is in Vain".

Since Li Yu has extremely high requirements for these two works, to the point of being nitpicking, these two works will not be able to meet the audience until next year at the earliest.

This time, Wang Jing listened to Li Yu's advice and temporarily gave up the idea of ​​rehashing "Aodao Fengyun" and instead returned to the TV circle to film "Joy of Life".

Directors in Hong Kong have always been very fast, and Wang Jing is one of the fastest among the fastest in Hong Kong.

At Wang Jing's speed, the shooting progress bar of "Joy of Life" has now exceeded halfway.

Wang Jing will definitely be able to complete the filming of this drama smoothly before the Spring Festival.

Many of the actors in this drama are the same as in the original time and space version.

At that time, Wang Jing asked Li Yu for his opinion and mentioned the names of actors such as Li Xin, Xin Zhilei, and Li Xiaoran.

Li Yu also recommended Hu Ge to play the leading male role.

Wang Jing knew who Hu Ge was.

Hu Ge is currently a contracted artist under Hualiu Company and has always been known as the Prince of Ancient Costumes.

He became famous thanks to "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" and later reached the peak of his career when he acted with Huang Xiaoming in Li Yu's magical adaptation of "Nirvana in Fire".

After signing with Hualiu Company, Hu Ge rarely appeared in public and only starred in "Chinese Paladin 3" produced by Tangren.

This certainly does not mean that Li Yu shelved Hu Ge after he signed with Hualiu Company.

It was Hu Ge himself who realized his own problems after starring in Nirvana in Fire.

His fans often boast that his acting skills are among the best among actors of the 80s generation.

Then he was crushed by Huang Xiaoming, an actor known for his greasy acting skills.

He completely doubted his life.

He was not content to just stay in the television industry; he wanted to enter the film industry.

But he was unwilling to be a vase in the film industry.

So I need to improve my acting skills.

Hu Ge has rarely appeared on TV in recent years, mainly because he has gone to perform in dramas to hone his acting skills.

This is very Hugo.

In the original time and space, Hu Ge turned down many TV dramas when he was at the peak of his popularity and also went to act in dramas.

But the result was a bit cruel. He had been performing in dramas for so long as a prelude to entering the film industry, but he still failed to make a name for himself in the film industry.

This can’t be blamed entirely on Hu Ge, it has a lot to do with the fact that the sugar man is so lame.

What can I say about Tangren’s movie resources? They are equivalent to Da Mimi among the 85 flowers, which is terrible.

After several years of drama practice, Hu Ge's performance has improved.

Wang Jing decided Hu Ge would play the leading male role in front of Li Yu.

In addition to giving face to Li Yu, Wang Jing felt that Hu Ge was really capable.

The character of the talented scholar Mei Changsu played by Hu Ge in "Nirvana in Fire" is very similar to Fan Xian.

They are all protagonists in kindergarten-level political intrigue dramas.

Mei Changsu is the leader of the Jiangzuo League, and a lot of the powerful people in the world are from the Jiangzuo League.

Fan Xian is not much inferior to Mei Changsu.

Master Fei Jie, who is known as a teacher for life, is a world-renowned poison expert.

Wuzhu, the nanny who saved his life and protected him as he grew up, is a humanoid robot and a powerful bodyguard who is more powerful than a grandmaster.

His adoptive father Fan Jian was the Minister of Finance of the Kingdom of Qing.

In addition, his godfather is the director of the Inspection Institute, Chen Pingping, his father-in-law is the prime minister of Qing, and his biological father is the emperor of Qing.

He has six fathers at the beginning, and his background and strength are not much different from those of the Jiangzuo League.

Since Hu Ge has experience in playing similar roles and performed very well.

Then Wang Jing certainly has reason to believe that Hu Ge can play this role well.

Wang Jing, the other actor recommended by Li Yu, did not agree immediately at that time.

He went back and looked up the relevant information of those actors. He was shocked.

Even though he had known for a long time that Li Yu had an excellent eye for selecting actors, especially actresses, he was still amazed by the actresses recommended by Li Yu.

Li Xin and Li Xiaoran, recommended by Li Yu, are both recognized beauties.

Xin Zhilei is not an ordinary beauty, she belongs to a more special type.

People who like her will find her very charming, while people who don't like her will have no feelings for her at all.

Anyway, Wang Jing was very satisfied with the actors recommended by Li Yu.

If he could give a score, he would give Li Yu a perfect score.

He invited all the actors that Li Yu mentioned, especially the female actors.

"Joy of Life" itself is a refreshing novel, so it will definitely be a refreshing drama when it is filmed.

You may question whether Wang Jing is ugly, but never doubt his vision and experience as a veteran commercial film director.

He knows exactly what kind of exciting drama can satisfy the audience.

As long as the overall plot is not bad and the leading actors are a combination of handsome men and beautiful women, it is basically half successful.

This is the configuration that Li Yu recommended to him.

In addition, what’s interesting is that Li Xin is also a contracted artist of Tangren.

When Hu Ge's contract expired, he signed with Hualiu Company, and Tang Yan set up his own studio. Mr. Cai then went to the three major universities to select new talents.

Li Xin is one of them.

However, Tangren has not been able to make Li Xin a big star in these years. She has only starred in a few TV series produced by Tangren. She can only be considered a minor star and can barely be considered a second-tier actor.

In early November, Li Yu visited the filming location of "Joy of Life".

Half of the investment in the drama "Joy of Life" was provided by Hualiu Company, so Li Yu, as the boss, must have paid attention to it.

Wang Jing has a high emotional intelligence and is very considerate of Li Yu.

On the day Li Yu arrived, Wang Jing brought the main actors in the crew to welcome Li Yu.

"Director Li, you are such a busy man, but you still have time to come to my little place."

Wang Jing said with a grin.

"What? Director Wang doesn't welcome me? Then I'll go to the airport now and fly back?"

Li Yu joked.

Li Yu and Wang Jing have worked together more than once. Wang Jing is a very interesting person in private.

The two of them have a very close relationship, and joking with each other is a common occurrence.

"Director Li."

Hu Ge was very happy about Li Yu's arrival.

Li Yu said that he hadn't acted for a long time, and "Joy of Life" could be considered his comeback work.

After "Joy of Life", Li Yu will arrange a movie for him to test the waters.

In Hu Ge's mind, Li Yu is the noble person in his life.

At that time, Li Yu and Tangren's team were filming in Liancheng. He was just an unknown person. Li Yu commented that he would become famous in the future, and very famous.

Later, when casting for "Chinese Paladin 1" was underway, he was not favored at all. People disliked the fact that he was a bit dark at the time and thought that he did not look good in ancient costume.

At that time, Li Yu and Tang Ren reached an agreement on resource exchange. Li Yu lent the popular Shi Shi to Mr. Cai to shoot "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1" and obtained the priority investment rights of the "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" series.

Li Yu also promised that his new drama will promote Tang Yan, who had just signed a contract with Tang Ren.

As one of the investors of "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", Shi Shi, the most popular actor in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy 1", is Li Yu's man.

Li Yu’s words carry a lot of weight.

At that time, Li Yu told Mr. Cai and the director of "Chinese Paladin 1" that he thought Hu Ge was good and could let Hu Ge have a try.

Just this one sentence made Hu Ge instantly famous from an unknown little actor.
