China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 466: The truth is the sharpest knife that hurts people
“It’s a good movie. If a normal director were to make this movie, they might put the successful capture of the villain at the end.

I'm curious, why did you make it more difficult for yourself and arrange a psychological game of domestic trial? "

After watching "Operation Nujiang", Mr. Han praised the film highly and raised some questions of his own.

"I just want to tell the audience through that invisible battle that the battle on the battlefield without the sound of gunfire is no less exciting than the real battlefield."

Li Yu told the truth.

This is indeed one of the reasons why Li Yu shot it this way.

Li Yu's decision received strong support from relevant departments.

In addition, the original version of "Operation Nujiang" was filmed in a similar way to what Mr. Han said, putting the successful capture of the villain at the end.

The advantages of the original version are obvious, but there are many flaws.

In fact, prolonging the plot of the arrest operation may be more convenient, but the disadvantages are also very obvious.

Adding so many fights is not a good thing for the movie itself.

Because the plot is dragged out, shortcomings and bugs will be exposed to the audience.

The original version had this problem. The special operations team led by Gao Gang and Fang Xinwu experienced so many battles in Siam.

The protagonists won one or two battles and the audience wouldn't think there was anything wrong with it.

Because the protagonists themselves are elites, and the surprise attack gave them the upper hand, the audience can understand zero or low casualties.

Once the number of fights increases, the audience will start to feel that it is not interesting.

The audience will wonder, are the protagonists heavenly soldiers sent down to earth?

The villains have suffered so many losses before, why can't they learn to be more vigilant?
After fighting so many battles, enemies were killed and injured one after another, but the protagonist suffered very few casualties, just like a player at the King level fighting against an AI.

The original version was criticized by many viewers for the fact that the villain and his many fierce minions fought a battle of wits and courage with the protagonists for more than an hour, and the villain's greatest achievement was brought about by a few brainwashed child soldiers, which was a bit embarrassing.

Li Yu saw all the controversial answers, and he would definitely find a way to correct them.

So in his version of "Operation Nujiang River", the protagonist group investigates the situation clearly, and puts pressure on the several Guo Jias who appear in the movie through domestic mediation, asking them to send police forces to drive the villains to country l where they can be extradited. Then the elite protagonist group takes action at once to solve the problem and bring the big villain to justice.

Such an arrangement can reflect the strength of the motherland, conform to the actual situation of the case, and will not make the villain appear particularly incompetent.

Judging from people's reactions after the movie, Li Yu's arrangement was successful.

"Okay, good idea. I am personally very satisfied with your plot arrangement. I am looking forward to the day when your film is officially released.

I heard that you are planning to compete head-on with Hollywood blockbusters. I support you. We should take some practical actions to show them that Chinese films are just as good."

Director Han patted Li Yu's shoulders twice, his eyes showing deep appreciation.

He originally thought that the quality of Li Yu's filming of this movie would decline to a certain extent.

Main theme blockbusters are not easy to make, and they have to satisfy the special approval departments and have to have a certain degree of commerciality to facilitate dissemination.

It is difficult to find a balance in the middle.

Li Yu completed this task very well.

Li Yu deserves the honorable title of the best director in China after 2000.

In addition to Mr. Han, the current chairman of China Film, investors, and personnel from relevant departments all expressed their approval of Li Yu's film.

While Wolf Warrior Wu Jing was full of praise, he went from being under tremendous pressure to gradually doubting his life.

He thought Li Yu’s filming of Operation Nujiang River was so awesome.

The protagonists are brave and resourceful, and the special operations team showed extremely high combat quality when they went deep into the tiger's den and fought the enemy. As a person who has been in the army, Wu Jing had such an illusion when watching the movie just now, whether Li Yu pulled out the real special operations team to shoot a documentary.

He would really think so if he hadn't served as assistant director and action director for this film.

In addition to the good acting and beautiful shots, the plot is well-interlocked and highly logical.

Wu Jing was really hit hard.

When I first met Li Yu today, he proudly shared with Li Yu the general plot framework of "Wolf Warrior 2" that he and several other screenwriters had discussed for a long time and figured out.

He was very proud of the work he and the screenwriters had come up with.

Everything is afraid of comparison. Compared with "Wolf Warrior 2", his "Operation Nujiang" is so childish that it seems like it was made for junior high school students.

Seeing Wu Jing's melancholy expression, Da Tiantian couldn't help but ask, "Brother Jing, why do you look unhappy? Isn't the movie very good?"

Da Tiantian really couldn’t understand why Wu Jing seemed like a different person after watching the movie.

Could it be that Wu Jing is related to the villain in the movie, so he reacted like this when he saw the villain being sentenced to death?
This is not right. Wu Jing is the assistant director and action director of this film.

"Ms. Jing, I am really shocked. I feel like my Wolf Warrior is a little inferior to Director Li's Operation Nujiang River."

Wu Jing said with a wry smile.

"Isn't this normal? You're an actor turned director, and you haven't made as many films as Li Yu, so it's normal for you to be his younger brother."

Da Tiantian doesn’t think there is anything strange about this.

"Director Wu, who gave you the confidence to think that what you shoot can compare with Director Li? You don't need to put pressure on yourself for no reason."

Chen Kaige followed closely.

The truth is often the sharpest knife that hurts people the most.

The two stabs from Da Tiantian and Chen Kaige made Wu Jing feel very cold inside.

"Ms. Jing, Director Chen, can you be more tactful next time when you talk to me about this?"

If he could afford to offend these two people, he would definitely let them know how he won the national elite shooting and sparring championships.

“Brother Jing, your Wolf Warrior series and my Operation Nujiang River may seem to be similar in subject matter, but they are actually completely different in essence.

This is a film with special promotional significance. It cannot be too exaggerated, otherwise it will be out of touch with reality.

Yours is different. In my opinion, your Leng Feng is similar to Captain America played by Man Wei, and is a Chinese superhero.

We are not on the same track, why do you have to compete with me?"

Li Yu heard the entire conversation between Wu Jing and the others, and he asked in return.

Wu Jing was deeply moved.

Li Yu is good at talking. Unlike Chen Kaige and Da Tiantian, they speak with sharp words and kill people without leaving any trace.

Just as Wu Jing was about to express his feelings about Li Yu being his good brother, Li Yu said, “But then again, Tiantian and Director Chen are right.

How much did you drink, brother Jing? If you had a peanut, you wouldn't be so drunk.

If I make a movie like yours, can I still win the Palme d'Or at Cannes?"

"..."

Blanch!
Where is my gun?
If he had a gun, Wu Jing would dare to turn these three people into candied haws.
