China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 455 Thirty Years in Hedong, Thirty Years in Hexi

The fat man in the original novel of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is fat, brave, greedy and poor. There is really no actor who fits these characteristics.

Anyway, looking at the entire Chinese entertainment industry, Li Yu couldn't find such an actor.

The young Sammo Hung fits the character of the fat man in the original novel very well.

But Sammo Hung is already old, and his status and position are there, so it is totally unrealistic.

So I'll just have to make do with it.

Jiang Chao's Wang Pangzi is controversial, but as long as the quality of the script is up to standard, it can maintain the level of "Longling Mystery Cave".

The audience can accept an image of Fatty Wang that is different from the original work.

"Pan Yueming is easy to hire, but his reputation doesn't seem to be very good right now."

Cao Qing stopped there.

At the end of the year before last, Pan Yueming and his ex-wife divorced.

Lao Pan is another fellow sufferer similar to Wang Baoqiang and Ling Xiaosu.

During the time when they were going through a divorce, the rumors about traffic addiction, domestic violence, and having an affair could circle the earth three times.

The most outrageous thing is that there is a rumor that he can't stand up.

The woman personally stepped forward and tore Pan Yueming apart.

The huge storm of public opinion brought Pan Yueming's career to the bottom.

Zhuo Wei, the mainland paparazzi, still does some human work occasionally.

He revealed that the person who really had a problem in this incident was not Pan Yueming.

Forced into a corner and unable to bear it any longer, Pan Yueming sued the woman's agent and eventually won the case.

The agent didn't even apologize, he just said, "Your ex-wife instructed you to do that."

They say justice may be late, but it will never be absent.

But delayed justice cannot change the situation where honest people suffer losses, nor can it help honest people to feel proud.

So what if Zhuo Wei revealed the truth? So what if Pan Yueming won the lawsuit?

Pan Yueming's popularity with the audience was completely ruined by the woman.

Good things don't go out, bad things pass thousands of miles.

Once someone is trampled to death and has a bad reputation, it will be of no use even if there is evidence to prove that they are innocent.

Pan Yueming could only fade out of people's sight amid a barrage of abuse.

He had to wait until a few years later for "Day and Night" to become popular again.

Now he is just an unknown person.

Of course Li Yu could understand Cao Qing's hint, he said indifferently: "Just invite him, let him sign eight episodes of Ghost Blows Out the Light at a time, so as to avoid changing the lead actor during the filming.

I know he has a bad reputation, he is innocent, he is the victim.”

Li Yu is not a good man, but he still does one or two good things occasionally.

For example, he saved Ling Xiaosu's career and helped Wang Baoqiang recognize the true face of the villain and escape from suffering a few years earlier.

He helped Pan Yueming's two brothers in need, so what does it matter if there is one more Pan Yueming?

What's more, Pan Yueming is really suitable to play Hu Bayi.

Li Yu was not entirely helping Pan Yueming, he was just giving him a hand while looking for the best leading actor for the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" series.

Since Li Yu said so, Cao Qing had no objection.

What the boss says definitely counts, this is the awareness of every worker.

He didn't dare teach his boss how to do things.

Facts have proved that Pan Yueming is really very easy to invite at this stage.

Pan Yueming has been so down and out lately that he can only take on romance dramas, and the quality is not very good.

Ten years ago, he acted with well-known and powerful actors or big-name actors such as Chen Baoguo, Wang Gang, Liu Tao, and Uncle Wu.

This change makes people feel that things are really different now. For Pan Yueming, online drama resources like "Ghost Blowing the Light" are the best resources he has come into contact with in recent years.

At least "Ghost Blows Out the Light" wins by its plot, and the emotional line between the man and the woman is very weak, so there is no need for him to act out the love scenes at his old age.

Just for this reason, Pan Yueming signed a contract with Hualiu Company without even thinking twice, and actually signed for eight films.

Lao Pan is a person who has become more open-minded after experiencing many ups and downs.

Later, after becoming popular again through online dramas, he was not very enthusiastic about returning to serious dramas, but instead stayed in the comfort zone of online dramas.

From this point of view, he is much more insightful than most people in the circle.

Unlike some people in the circle, whose thinking is not up to date and who cannot keep up with the pace of development.

After acting in a few movies without much to show for his achievements, he labeled himself as a movie star and no longer looked down on TV dramas.

In the end, they slapped themselves in the face. Not only did they film a TV series, but it was also a web series. This is very embarrassing.

It’s not difficult to invite Zhang Yuqi.

She had a high starting point, being a star girl.

However, her way of operation is much more sophisticated than that of the star girl in "Kung Fu".

She chose to use money to peacefully terminate her contract with Stephen Chow, so she later also starred in Stephen Chow's "The Mermaid".

Like many other star girls, she doesn't have many representative works after leaving Stephen Chow.

She accepted Cao Qing's invitation, but did not sign eight films at once like Pan Yueming did.

After all, she is not an unknown star, so she is not so passive in the negotiations. She plans to shoot a movie first to test the waters.

The fat actor Jiang Chao is even easier to invite, as he is a perennial supporting actor.

In his eyes, asking him to sign eight "Ghost Blows Out the Light" films at once was no different from getting a stable job with a term of several years. He had no reason to refuse.

……

Time flies, and in the blink of an eye it is the end of December.

"Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", directed by Xu Ke and co-produced by Bona Films, Bayi Film Studio and other companies, has finally premiered.

Li Yu gave face to Xu Ke and Bo Na and agreed to stagger the release of "Operation Nujiang" before "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".

Xu Ke and Bo Na must have invited Li Yu to attend the premiere of the movie.

Interestingly, Zhang Yi took the initiative to ask to come with Li Yu.

Because Chen Sicheng will also be at the premiere today, and his wife is one of the leading actors in "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".

When Chen Sicheng was acting and picking up girls, he was changing the script and it made Zhang Yi very upset.

After the broadcast of "Northern Love", he was subjected to online violence from the audience because of his role.

Zhang Yi felt that he had been cheated. He followed Li Yu to the premiere just to make an announcement to Chen Sicheng.

Thirty years in Hedong and thirty years in Hexi. Don’t bully young people into poverty.

In "Northern Ireland", you blackened me to pieces in order to highlight your role and make it easier for you to pick up girls.

Now I have been appreciated by Director Li and played the leading male role in "Operation Nujiang River".

After "Operation Nujiang" is released, I will tell you what a counterattack is.

Yu Nan, who played the squadron leader in "Wolf Warrior", is also one of the leading actors in "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy".

Zhang Hanyu, the leading male actor in "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy", is also the leading male actor in the original version of "Operation Nujiang River".

Zhang Hanyu performed very well, but because of his schedule for Taking Tiger Mountain, Li Yu couldn't change his schedule, so he found Zhang Yi.

Backstage, when Zhang Hanyu saw Li Yu, he explained with regret: "Director Li, I really want to act in your "Operation Nujiang River", but my schedule is too full and I can't make time.

Next time you want to film with me, I will definitely make time to wait for you, and I can discuss the pay and other matters."

Looking back now, Zhang Hanyu feels very regretful.

Li Yu's movie was a project specially approved by relevant departments. If he hadn't signed on to "Taking Tiger Mountain by Strategy" at the time and couldn't get away, he would definitely have starred in it.
