China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 511: No Longer in This Lifetime

Pan Yueming's response was effective.

The official account of Ghost Blows Out the Light understands marketing.

The official account of Ghost Blows Out the Light appeared in Tang Yong’s comment section, specifically @ing Pan Yueming and saying: “I can responsibly tell you that everything Mr. Pan said is true.”

The leading actors and official accounts all made an appearance, making the audience of "The Lost Tomb" even more excited.

The next day, Pan Yueming responded to netizens that the leading actor of the Ghost Blows Out the Light series would not be changed, and the official account of Ghost Blows Out the Light confirmed Pan Yueming's statement. Both pieces of news became hot searches.

In addition to these two pieces of news, the premiere results of the first four episodes of "The Lost Tomb" also became a hot topic.

On that day's Weibo hot search list, Pan Yueming and "The Lost Tomb" occupied several seats, which is a treatment only given to popular dramas.

In addition, on the DouMiao website, the score of "The Lost Tomb" currently remains at 8.9 points.

In the field of online dramas, this rating can be considered a high-quality product.

Pan Yueming was very happy. He remembered very clearly that the last time he was on the hot search was a few years ago when he was rumored to be addicted to gambling, domestic violence, impotence, and having a mistress...

The series of attacks from his ex-wife and her lover made him completely lose popularity with the audience, and his career began to go downhill.

After several years, he finally got his reward and became famous again.

He immediately called Li Yu to thank him: "Director Li, thank you so much. If you hadn't asked me to play Ghost Blows Out the Light, I might never have had a chance to turn things around in my life."

Pan Yueming has not seen the answer, and he doesn't know that even without Li Yu, he will still be able to become popular again in the future with "Day and Night Chase" and the Ghost Blows Out the Light series.

But even if he had seen the answer, he would still be very grateful to Li Yu.

Because Li Yu helped him become popular again several years earlier.

If Li Yu hadn't asked him to act in Ghost Blows Out the Light, he would have had to endure for at least a few more years.

"Teacher Pan, don't be too happy too soon. For you, becoming popular again is a good thing, but also a painful thing."

Li Yu did not play by the rules and said this out of the blue.

Pan Yueming was confused and didn't understand the meaning of Li Yu's words.

Of course, becoming popular again is a good thing. He dreams of becoming popular again. Becoming popular again will only make him happy. How could it make him suffer?

Li Yu continued: "Your divorce with your ex-wife was a hot topic at the time. Think about who was throwing dirty water on you and making you look like a has-been actor?
Think about why they threw dirty water on you at that time? If they didn't throw dirty water on you to confuse people, they would find out what they did.

Given the choice between ruining your career and ruining their own, they choose to ruin your career.

As you become more popular, those media outlets that like to stir up trouble will definitely dig up the past and bring up what happened between you and them.”

"Aren't they too boring? Those are all old things that have already happened in the past."

Pan Yueming said angrily.

"You think that old stories are meaningless, but they don't think so. They just know that as long as they bring up the story between you and your ex-wife, they can attract a lot of traffic."

Li Yu was not surprised by Pan Yueming's "Buddhist" and somewhat simple personality.

After he married the woman, he set up his own studio and shared an agent and assistant with her. In the end, they divorced and the agent and assistant collectively rebelled against him.

If he had any sense at all, he wouldn't have been kept in the dark about the people in his own studio being turned against him.

It is understandable that he doesn't want to bring up the past with Li Yu.

He comes from a scholarly family, it is impossible for him to do such an unseemly thing as to personally get involved in the fight.

He didn't intervene back then. When he was forced into a corner and couldn't bear it anymore, he just hired a lawyer to sue the girl's agent.

He won the case, but it was useless, he was still out of the game. Maybe someone with a personality like his is not suitable for the entertainment industry.

"It's their business if they want to talk about it. I don't want to argue with them, so let them talk."

Pan Yueming doesn't care.

After he became famous again in the original time and space, he rarely mentioned his past divorce, as if he had nothing to fear and would not argue with you.

However, his popularity with the audience did improve a lot later on, much better than Ling Xiaosu, who had a similar experience in the original time and space.

Li Yu didn't say anything. Since Pan Yueming himself said that he didn't care about those voices, he didn't care.

If Pan Yueming said he needed Li Yu's help, he only needed to call Zhuo Wei and the woman's photos would go viral tomorrow.

Zhuo Wei had already revealed this information a few years ago.

Those photos and videos were released by Zhuo Wei.

All we can say is that everyone has their own aspirations and everyone has different ideas. He respects Pan Yueming's choice.

Finally, Li Yu entrusted Pan Yueming with a few words: "Old Pan, please contact Zhang Yuqi if you have time.

You and she have both acted together in a Ghost Blows Out the Light movie, and you persuaded her to continue to star in the Ghost Blows Out the Light series.

Let me reveal to you something that Director Cao and I discussed privately.

If the performance of the first four films in the Ghost Blows Out the Light series meets expectations, the company will invest in Director Cao to shoot a blockbuster film adapted from the series.

This is not an online movie, it is a blockbuster movie with an investment of 200 to 300 million yuan.”

Li Yu drew this cake for Pan Yueming and Zhang Yuqi.

Zhang Yuqi debuted with the halo of a star girl, but her career in the film industry was just so-so, and it felt like her debut was the day she reached her peak.

It is impossible for Zhang Yuqi not to be interested in the Ghost Blows Out the Light blockbuster with an investment of hundreds of millions of dollars.

Pan Yueming became more energetic after hearing the big picture Li Yu painted.

I originally thought that the Ghost Blows Out the Light series would only make him popular again, but I didn’t expect that there would be an unexpected surprise that would allow him to impact the film industry?

With such an attractive opportunity hanging over his head, Pan Yueming was very efficient. He quickly contacted Zhang Yuqi and told her the news.

Zhang Yuqi did not completely believe Pan Yueming's words.

Pan Yueming is just an actor. The people who can really decide whether the Ghost Blows Out the Light movie will be made are Li Yu and Cao Qing.

Zhang Yuqi chose to test the waters with Cao Qing, and after receiving a positive response from Cao Qing, she agreed to star in the sequel to Ghost Blows Out the Light.

However, a clause had to be added to the contract she signed, stating that if the performance of the first four films met expectations, there would definitely be a big movie.

If the first four films perform well, the movie will definitely be made.

Li Yu is not the kind of person who only promises things to others but does not deliver them. He asked the people in the company to meet the requirements put forward by Zhang Yuqi.

After Zhang Yuqi signed the contract with Hualiu Company, Cao Qing decided to strike while the iron was hot. Taking advantage of the high attention paid to the hit of "The Lost Tomb", he immediately announced that the second part "The Lost Tomb of Dragon Ridge" would start filming soon.

Photos of the gathering of the iron triangle actors were also released, and it was officially announced that the leading actors of "Longling Mystery Cave" will still be the leading actors of "The Lost Tomb: The Lost City", and there will be no changes.

After the news was announced, fans who were following "The Lost Tomb" were overjoyed.

They like the speed of the production team. "The Lost Tomb" has not yet finished airing, and "The Lost Tomb of Dragon Ridge" is about to start filming.

At this speed, completing all eight parts will no longer be a series that will be completed within one’s lifetime.
