China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 486 Revised version of Joy of Life
The original version of "Joy of Life" was of very good level in terms of production, acting skills, plot, etc.

Similarly, no drama is perfect, and the original version of "Joy of Life" has some very discouraging shortcomings.

For example, the zombie filter is really ugly, it’s better not to add this filter.

The color grading is also terrible, as if there is no lighting.

Li Xin and Song Yi, who are obviously beautiful women, looked exceptionally pale in the drama because of the death filter, leaving the audience speechless.

Especially after the producers released the behind-the-scenes footage, the audience was even more speechless.

Because the audience found that the post-production of this drama was a complete drag, and the people in the behind-the-scenes footage looked naturally better than in the finished film.

Fortunately, the producers are able to correct their mistakes. As the show airs later, people will find that the filters and color adjustments of the show have improved a lot.

Mistakes like filters and color adjustment can be saved, but the character of Yan Bingyun cannot be saved at all.

The character of Yan Bingyun was played with lifeless eyes, and many netizens said that Yan Bingyun was the biggest failure.

Later, the actor who played Yan Bingyun in the second season was replaced, and netizens were so happy that they wanted to set off firecrackers to celebrate.

This also shows how badly someone played the role of Yan Bingyun.

Wang Jing’s version of “Joy of Life” does not have any of the above problems.

During the early preparations, Wang Jing asked Li Yu for his opinion on the selection of actors.

Li Yuzhen recommended him a bunch of actors who he thought were suitable.

Li Yu did not use the criticized male star to play the role of Yan Bingyun.

He directly found the actor who played Yan Bingyun in the second part of "Joy of Life".

This person is called Wu Xingjian, and he is a student in Class 12, Grade of the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy.

This guy is quite unpopular. He graduated from Beijing Film Academy in 15, but had to wait until 18 to make his official debut by starring in a bad movie called "The Story of the Ming Dynasty Suppressing Demons". He is a nobody in the circle and is not even a third-tier star.

It's not surprising that Li Yu would notice such a cold person.

Li Yu is a director who graduated from Beijing Film Academy. Every year the school gives him a list of new students.

The reason why the school did this was very simple. They wanted Li Yu to use more actors from Beijing Film Academy and train and discover more good talents.

At that time, Li Yu glanced at the list of students who had been admitted to Beijing Film Academy over the years and happened to see Wu Xingjian's name, so he recommended him to Wang Jing.

Yan Bingyun didn't have many scenes in the first season. He only showed his face for half an hour in the TV series that lasted dozens of hours.

At that time, Wang Jing asked someone to check Wu Xingjian's information, and found that there was no such person. He was a newcomer who could not be any newer.

Considering that this was the actor recommended by Li Yu, and Yan Bingyun had very few roles, Wang Jing chose to give Li Yu face and used the actor Wu Xingjian.

When talking about Yan Bingyun’s role in the first season, we have to mention the male star from the original time and space.

He only appeared on the stage for half an hour, but he was able to make the audience hate him so much that they collectively demanded a replacement. I have to say that this is really a skill.

He has this ability to attract hatred. If he plays a villain who does all kinds of evil and the protagonist kills him in the end, wouldn't the drama be a big hit?
But such a drama is just something you can imagine; it is impossible for it to happen.

The popular young stars have a heavy idol burden. They are unwilling to play a role that is not handsome, let alone a villain.

Besides, playing a good villain requires acting skills, and they don’t have that acting skill.

On the night when "Joy of Life" premiered, Li Yu spent several hours watching all the first four episodes.

Li Yu personally gave a good evaluation of this drama.

Without the gray and discouraging zombie filter, Hu Ge adds a lot of points to the character of Fan Xian.

After all, the character of Fan Xian has many similarities with Mei Changsu.

The best masters in the world are all his followers. If anyone dares to touch him, this best master will kill him without hesitation. The gold content of Fan Xian's fathers is comparable to that of Mei Changsu's Jiangzuo League.

Hu Ge is able to grasp the role of Mei Changsu so well that there is no need to worry about his performance in "Joy of Life".

Even if Hu Ge plays Fan Xian badly and makes him look like Mei Changsu, the audience will not be distracted because these two characters are really similar in many ways.

What's more, Hu Ge did not give up. He has been performing in dramas over the years to hone his acting skills.

There is definitely a big gap between him and the real top actors, but among the Mesozoic actors, his acting skills are already in the first tier.

With his current acting skills, playing a role like Fan Xian is really an overkill.

Hu Ge doesn't even need to use his full strength to grasp this role well.

Hu Ge himself had some complaints about Li Yu letting him star in "Joy of Life".

It was agreed that he would be allowed to hone his acting skills for a few years and then star in serious dramas and movies.

Three years later, and another three years later, he has become the ceiling among the Mesozoic actors.

The ceiling here refers to popularity.

He still hasn't been able to wait for a serious drama or movie.

If it were some more ambitious actors, they would have packed up their bags and run away long ago.

Hu Ge is different. His greatest strength is that he cherishes the old times and remembers favors.

In the original time and space, he and his agent had a car accident. In order to wait for him, Tang Ren and Mr. Cai stopped the entire crew for half a year, and the loss of money was hundreds of millions or even more than ten million.

Hu Ge always remembered the kindness of Tang Ren and Mr. Cai. When his career was at the peak, Huayi used film resources as a bargaining chip to invite him to join Huayi, but he did not leave Tang Ren.

Even though Tangren's small workshop was going from bad to worse and more sisters left than he could count, he, the big brother, always insisted on staying at Tangren.

Li Yu's kindness to Hu Ge is much greater than that of Tang Ren and Mr. Cai in the original time and space.

It is true that Hu Ge was a contracted artist of Tangren in his early years.

But if you look deeper, you will find that this Tangren signed artist was made famous by Li Yu, the boss of a Chinese pop music company.

The fact that Hu Ge was able to get the role of Li Xiaoyao in "The Legend of Sword and Fairy" was the result of the efforts of investor Li Yu behind the scenes.

His peak moment in the television industry was also achieved by Li Yu.

Li Yu's magically adapted version of "Nirvana in Fire" brought both him and Huang Xiaoming to their peak in the field of television.

No matter how poor the resources that Hualiu Company and Li Yu provide to Hu Ge now are, they are still much better than Tangren’s small workshop.

Even if Hugo continues to maintain his current state, he will not choose to leave.

What's more, Li Yu really didn't fool him.

He has been acting in dramas for several years, but his popularity has dropped significantly.

No matter how famous an artist is, if he or she fades out of people's sight for a few years, his or her popularity will decline. No one is an exception, and Hu Ge certainly cannot be an exception.

Li Yu asked Hu Ge to play in "Joy of Life" in order to make him popular again and gather some popularity.

The safest route is to shoot dramas and movies later.

Not to mention Hu Ge, in order to push Shi Shi into the film industry, Li Yu also sent Shi Shi to study at Beijing Film Academy for two and a half years.

After studying, I will first act in two TV series to restore my popularity, and then make a movie.
