China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 513: The main point is to listen to advice

Li Yu wanted to laugh after hearing Fan Xiaopang's surprised question.

In her impression, Fan Xiaopang starred in this bad movie, playing the role of Daji.

There is no problem for her to play Daji. She has the nickname of fox spirit, so it is very suitable for her to play Daji.

However, her appearance in "The Legend of the Gods" is hard to describe.

The dazzling golden headdress that blinds the eyes is matched with the highly saturated picture.

Fortunately, Cheng Long and Zha Zha Hui did not act in this movie, otherwise Li Yu would have believed it if I told him that this was a promotional video for the legendary online game.

“Just now I told you that you have a bad eye for choosing scripts, but you insisted on being stubborn.

Isn't this a chance to test your vision? You specifically mentioned this movie to me.

If I'm not mistaken, they should have invited you, right?"

Li Yu asked this deliberately.

He couldn't tell Fan Xiaopang that he had read the script. He not only knew that Fan Xiaopang starred in this movie, but also played Daji in it, right?
"You really can't hide anything from me. My agent just told me this morning. They want to invite me to play the role of Daji."

Fat Fan looked at Li Yu with admiration.

"Then what do you think?"

Li Yu asked back with a smile on his face.

"A mega-production with an investment of 500 to 600 million yuan. In the entire history of Chinese cinema, the number of films with an investment of this scale can be counted on one hand.

Judging from the scale of investment alone, this movie is even more exaggerated than the first part of Guoshi's "Fengshen".

Of course I was very interested. The imperial master was auditioning actors, but he didn't use me to play the role of Daji. Instead, he used a newcomer.

If I shine in this movie, does that mean the national master made a mistake?"

Fat Fan has a good idea.

"It's a nice thought, but it's doomed to fail. You said it yourself, investors want to support someone else's own son.

I just checked the information about the Daji you are going to play. She is a big villain in this movie.

You bewitched King Zhou. You, a villain, want to overshadow the protagonist and compete with Naza's Daji? I think you'd better not bring shame upon yourself."

Li Yu's words were not very polite, but they were all true.

In Guoshi's "Fengshen", the character of Daji is a thousand times better than Daji in "Legend of Fengshen".

Because the Daji in "Fengshen" deviated from the setting of a beautiful woman who brings disaster, King Zhou knew that she possessed magical powers, so he used her as a tool to realize his own ambitions.

It’s not to say that King Zhou and Daji in “Fengshen” were not true love.

Daji definitely loved King Zhou more, but King Zhou didn't love Daji as much.

Compared to beauties, King Zhou in "Fengshen" obviously loves power and the country more.

This is consistent with the character of an ancient king; power and territory are the most important.

Li Yu dared to bet that if Fan Xiaopang was stubborn enough to play Daji in "The Legend of Conferred Gods", she would definitely be ridiculed by the public.

People would say that the imperial master was right not to choose her to play Daji.

Therefore, it is not an exaggeration to say that Li Yu advised Fan Xiaopang not to bring humiliation upon himself.

Fatty Fan looked incredulous. "It's not as outrageous as you said, is it? The actors who have been confirmed to star in this movie include international action superstars Li Lianjie, Gu Tianle, Wen Zhang, Liang Jiahui, Chen Xiaochun... In mainland China, I heard that they also invited Huang Xiaoming and Xu Qing."

Fan Xiaopang really couldn't figure out how to lose this kind of dream opening with two kings and four twos. If you separate the two kings and four twos and play them one by one, you will definitely win.

If this kind of start happened to the founder of Kaishen Logistics, he would have to knock on the blackboard at the meeting and say a few words: Everything is full of vitality and the competitive advantage is mine?
"What a coincidence, Wu Baige's team back then was also so luxurious and well-funded, but what was the result?
The era when superstars carry the box office is long gone. Do you still think that the box office will definitely be good as long as there are superstars?
Why are Hong Kong films in such a mess now? It's not a big place, so it shouldn't be difficult to find three or five Golden Horse Award winners, right?

According to the theory that if superstars participate in a movie, it will definitely do well at the box office, if three or five Hong Kong Film Award winners participate in a movie at the same time, this movie can easily become the domestic box office champion. "

Li Yu shook his head and said.

“Also, I don’t think the Hong Kong team can make a film like Fengshen, as this is not their area of ​​expertise.

If this is a police and gangster film with a very luxurious cast, and you are asked to play the leading female role, even if it is a female villain, I would suggest you play it.

As for this movie, I personally don't think it's good.

It's up to you whether to act or not. You are not a contracted artist of my company, so I have no right to control you.

I just expressed my personal opinion, for reference only."

Li Yu was too lazy to analyze with Fan Xiaopang how bad the movie was.

Because the filming hasn't started yet, Li Yu said that the film is terrible and not convincing enough.

He could only give very intuitive suggestions to see if his good advice could persuade a ghost who wanted to die.

There's nothing to say if you can't persuade him. The one who suffered the loss was Fan Xiaopang, not him.

Again, Fan Xiaopang is not an artist of his company. Fan Xiaopang has his own studio and now he is his own boss.

She has the right to choose which movie she should act in and bear the consequences herself.

Fan Xiaopang fell into deep thought. She didn't say anything. She was thinking about the suggestions given by Li Yu.

Rationally speaking, she really didn't think that a movie with such a strong cast would flop.

Emotionally speaking, Li Yu had never cheated her, and Li Yu had always had a good vision and rarely made mistakes in predicting major events.

So she was conflicted. Should she trust Li Yu or trust her and her team's judgment?

It is worth mentioning that a few days later, Huang Xiaoming also called to ask Li Yu for advice.

Fan Xiaopang’s information is accurate. The team of "Legend of the Gods" invited Huang Xiaoming to play Yang Jian, a supporting role.

"The Legend of the Gods" is very ambitious and plans to make a big splash in the mainland film market. They invited Huang Xiaoming, one of the most popular male actors in the mainland, and Fan Xiaopang, one of the most popular female actors in the mainland.

"This is the situation. Director Li, do you think I should act?"

Huang Xiaoming made a long story short, introduced the whole story and then went straight to the point.

If it were in the past, Huang Xiaoming would have agreed without hesitation given such good resources.

After filming "Operation Nujiang River", he began to become cautious.

The role of the second male lead in "Operation Nujiang River" helped him gain a foothold in the film industry.

It was difficult to just stand and walk, let alone run.

What if his next movie fails, won’t he be forced to go back a few years and start all over again?
So he was very cautious and decided to consult his good friend, the famous director Li Yu.

Li Yu told Huang Xiaoming exactly what he had said to Fan Xiaopang.

"Oh my god, Director Li, you are so pessimistic about this movie. I will listen to you and reject their invitation."

Huang Xiaoming’s main character is a person who listens to advice, which is in stark contrast to Fan Xiaopang’s struggle.
