China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 480 Game of Thrones Season

"Netizens have responded enthusiastically to the first season of Game of Thrones. It seems that everyone likes this kind of film and television series that has deep connotations but is not particularly difficult to understand."

Cao Qing said happily.

"Expected."

Li Yu said calmly.

"Nirvana in Fire" and "Ming Dynasty" are two extremes in different directions.

The former was invincible from the start, and there were people from the Jiangzuo League everywhere in the court.

Mei Changsu can overthrow anyone he wants. The best master in the world is his little brother, and his girlfriend has 100,000 elite cavalry under her command.

Even if the screenwriter told everyone the next second that the emperor was actually a member of the Jiangzuo League, no one would find it strange.

This is a standard pure entertainment drama. The audience puts themselves into the perspective of the protagonist and just enjoys watching it.

The latter is of very high quality, and those who can understand it regard it as a masterpiece.

Unfortunately, it is too obscure and difficult to understand. Every word said by a supporting character in the play may contain a mysterious meaning, which makes it too tiring for ordinary audiences to watch.

Without a certain level of political knowledge and a certain level of historical knowledge, who can understand this stuff?
Li Yu's requirement for the Game of Thrones series is to make the best of its strengths and make up for its weaknesses. The plot should be more straightforward than "The Ming Dynasty" and should not have too many twists and turns, so that it can be easy for the audience to understand.

It can't be as ridiculously white as "Nirvana in Fire", where anyone who has taken serious history classes can easily find n embarrassing logical flaws.

Through the joint efforts of Li Yu, Liu Heping and others, they successfully achieved the goal of taking into account the advantages of both and eliminating their disadvantages.

If you can do all these, the result will not be bad as long as the director is of good quality.

The director is Li Yu. The bonus brought by the famous director is so huge that "The Untold Story" took off immediately.

“So are we going to shoot the second season next?”

Cao Qingting is looking forward to the second season.

He is the deputy director and executive director of "The Last Thing", and he knows that the story of the second season is much more exciting than the first season.

The protagonist of the first season is Guangshen, and the various exciting power games make the audience feel excited.

But Guangshen’s ignorant and assuming actions without any knowledge of human sufferings are really speechless.

When he was fighting for the throne and in the early days of his accession to the throne, he vowed to build a grand foundation and was able to win the favor of the audience.

Later, this character became stupid and violent, not taking the lives of civilians and soldiers seriously, and the audience could no longer feel any sense of empathy.

Towards the end of the first season, the most common question from viewers was when Guang Shen would die.

When Guangshen's ministers rebelled and killed Guangshen, the audience felt relieved instantly.

This is also Li Yu's original intention in filming the Game of Thrones series and historical films. Some rubbish emperors who are a scourge to the world must never be whitewashed.

In the original time and space, Fu Dalong's version of "The Romance of Sui and Tang Dynasties" overly beautified Guangshen.

He had a great start but ended up hanging himself, which only shows that he deserved it.

If such an emperor is worthy of people's praise.

What are the hundreds of millions of civilians who died for him in conquering Goguryeo, building canals and palaces?

Strictly speaking, it would be an exaggeration to say that 10 million people were killed directly or indirectly by Guangshen.

When he first ascended the throne, the population of the Sui Dynasty was close to 60 million, but when Li Er ascended the throne, the population was only over 10 million.

I guess Thanos would have to kowtow to Guangshen when he sees him.

Guangshen is so powerful that he can make more than half of the population disappear physically without even using his gloves to snap his fingers.

The story of the second season is basically exciting from beginning to end, and it doesn't give people an outrageous feeling.

Because the story of the second season extracts material from official history.

Li Er is the super Long Aotian of the Tang Dynasty.

No, even Long Aotian is not that awesome.

He defeated 100,000 with only 3,000 men, captured two kings in one battle, started his army at the age of 16 and became emperor in his 20s. If the author in the history section dares to create an original character to write about Li Er's life experience, readers will choose to abandon the article after reading the introduction and start complaining.

Author, take a look at what you wrote. Is it reasonable? You defeated 100,000 with 3,000 men and captured two kings in one battle. You were riding a mecha instead of a warhorse, right?

Novels require logic and rationality, but reality really doesn't.

Li Yu could understand why Cao Qing and Liu Heping were anxious to persuade Li Yu to quickly shoot the second season.

Everyone around him, including the audience, was persuading him, so Li Yu readily followed their advice and agreed to start filming the second season.

During the preparations for the second season, Li Yu flew to Africa to see Wu Jing and Da Tiantian filming there.

From the props on the set, it can be seen that Wu Jing has great ambitions this time.

The 59D tank prop cars on the set are all specially customized, pursuing realism in terms of visual effects.

Li Yu went up to touch it a few times and found that this prop car was indeed good. The appearance size, external configuration, and overall vehicle layout were very similar to the real tank. It was difficult to see the flaws without getting close.

By the way, in order to facilitate the operation of the actors, the driving method of this prop car is similar to that of a car. In theory, anyone with a C1 driver’s license can drive it. The military vehicle prop master can be said to be very considerate.

In addition to tanks, there are also simulated props such as Bison mine-proof armored vehicles and Dodge light trucks on the set.

Wu Jing really spent a lot of money on props.

Li Yu touched a realistic military vehicle prop and teased Wu Jing with a smile, "Brother Jing, it seems that you are here to beat me and take the top spot in the box office this time."

"Don't talk bad about me. I don't have that kind of ability."

Wu Jing didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

Although Li Yu has repeatedly expressed in front of him that he is optimistic about "Wolf Warrior 2".

But Wu Jing never took Li Yu's words seriously.

He didn't dare take it seriously.

Because what Li Yu said every time was too outrageous.

It was said that the box office of "Wolf Warrior 2" could reach tens or even hundreds of billions, and now it is said that it will defeat Li Yu and take the first place in the box office.

He still dares to think about tens of billions. The investment scale of "Wolf Warrior 2" is there, and the box office cannot make a profit unless it exceeds tens of billions.

Let’s just forget about 2 billion and defeating Li Yu, right?

He didn't even dare to think about giving Wu Jing a plate of peanuts and a bottle of Moutai.

Currently, the only movies in the domestic film market that have grossed over 7 billion yuan are Li Yu's "Operation Nujiang" and Hollywood's "Fast and Furious ."

There will be another "Monster Hunt" soon.

The box office of "Monster Hunt" exceeded 25 billion, surpassing "Operation Nujiang" and "Fast and Furious 7".

But no one would think that "Monster Hunt" really won.

On the contrary, it attracted widespread ridicule.

Because since the release of this movie, there have been constant doubts about the box office being inflated, and these doubts have never disappeared.

You have to ask the person involved whether there was any brushing or not, but the doubts are real anyway.

"Brother Jing, human potential is unlimited, don't underestimate yourself."

Li Yu said seriously,
“The main reason is that what you said is too outrageous. You are a director who has only directed three or two movies, and you are an actor who changed his job.

Such a person defeated a famous old director. Even movies don’t dare to shoot like this. The plot is too fake.”

Wu Jing shook his head and smiled bitterly.

This kind of plot is even more outrageous than Leng Feng fighting a group of mercenaries alone.

Wu Jing himself would never have thought that after "Wolf Warrior 2" is released in the future, the outrageous plot that even movies dare not shoot will actually happen in real life.
