China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 514 The screenwriter has to help fill in the holes
Huang Xiaoming's choice is completely different from Fan Xiaopang's.

The main reason is that Huang Xiaoming does not have too many roles in "The Legend of Conferred Gods".

To quote an audience member, he had very few scenes as Erlang Shen: he disappeared after he came back from the toilet.

The appearance is also extremely shocking. Apart from increasing the value of Jiao Enjun's version of Yang Jian, it does not do any good to Huang Xiaoming himself. He is a character that is bound to be ridiculed by the crowd.

On the surface, Fan Xiaopang is the leading female role and she appears on screen for more than ten minutes, which is several times longer than Huang Xiaoming.

This is the main reason why Fan Xiaopang is more conflicted than Huang Xiaoming.

Huang Xiaoming's role was just a cameo.

Seeing Huang Xiaoming so sober, Li Yu couldn't help but tease: "Brother Xiaoming, are you sure you don't want to think about it again? That's a blockbuster movie with an investment of 500 to 600 million yuan, and the cast is very strong."

“Forget it. Even if the movie is a big hit, how much credit can a minor character like me gain from it if they only appear for a few minutes?
Besides, if you, Director Li, don’t think highly of this film, I can’t accept it. I have 100% confidence in your judgment.”

Huang Xiaoming replied seriously.

He decided to play it safe first and be extremely cautious with his next film.

After his acting career reached its peak in the television industry, he began to develop in the film industry.

In the past few years, relying on his fame as the top young actor in mainland China, he collaborated with many famous directors, but with little success.

Li Yu's "Operation Nujiang" is the best result he has achieved in all these years in the film industry.

After so many years of hard work, he finally got some results, and he can't give it all away in one go.

Thinking about his film career, Huang Xiaoming started to get interested.

If we talk about whose movies are more promising, it must be Li Yu's.

He really wants to act in Li Yu's movie, but Li Yu did not consider him for Ready Player One, which is currently in the process of filming.

Huang Xiaoming thought about it again and again, and said, "Director Li, next time you shoot a new movie and find a suitable role, please contact me. The salary can be negotiated. As long as the role is good enough, I don't need any salary."

As one of the richest and most successful artists in the industry, he really doesn't care much about the pay.

What's more, the pay given by Li Yu has always been at a lower-middle level in the circle.

"There is a chance."

Li Yu replied.

He himself hasn't thought about his next movie, so naturally he can't make any promises to Huang Xiaoming.

However... Li Yu could introduce someone else's movie to Huang Xiaoming.

“I don’t know when my next movie will be shot yet, but Director Chen has confirmed that he will be shooting a movie in about half a year.

I wrote the script, and the title is "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to Yumen". Didn't you act in Director Chen's "The Orphan of Zhao" before? You can ask him about it."

Huang Xiaoming slapped his thigh and said, "How could I have forgotten about this? Director Li, you are right to remind me. I will ask Director Chen later."

Although Huang Xiaoming's performance in "The Orphan of Zhao" was a bit greasy, Chen Kaige was very optimistic about him and even praised his similarities with Zhang Guorong.

Judging from the development of the relationship between Chen Kaige and Huang Xiaoming after "The Orphan of Zhao", Chen Kaige seems to be serious.

The two of them were photographed by paparazzi having private dinners many times, and hugging each other goodbye after the dinner.

Huang Xiaoming's nickname of high emotional intelligence and good popularity is not exaggerated.

In the original time and space, he invited most of the celebrities in the entertainment industry to his wedding, which was the best proof of his good popularity.

It is understandable that Huang Xiaoming did not think of asking Chen Kaige for a role. The city had not been built yet and the casting for "The Thirteen Soldiers Return to Yumen" had not even started.

If Li Yu hadn't revealed that filming would be ready in about half a year, Huang Xiaoming wouldn't have known that the city was already halfway finished. ...

"The Lost Tomb" continues to be a hit.

When Station A updated to the tenth episode, the number of clicks exceeded 1 billion, and the popularity of "The Lost Tomb" shocked everyone.

What is even more enviable is that "The Lost Tomb" not only has a high number of online hits, but also has a very good reputation.

Currently, the number of people who have rated this drama has reached more than 8.5, and the rating remains above .

Among them, the people who are most envious of the achievements of "The Lost Tomb" are the producer and distributor of the first season of "The Lost Tomb" - Kiwi Video Platform.

That’s right, in June of this year, the first season of "Grave Robbers’ Chronicles" was broadcast on the Kiwi Video platform.

The cast is quite strong, including Li Yufeng, Tang Yan, Yang Yang and others.

At least in terms of the fame of the actors, there is no problem in beating "The Lost Tomb".

Among the main actors of "The Lost Tomb", except Zhang Yuqi, none of the others can be considered popular.

However, there is a big gap between their performance and reputation.

The main reason, of course, is that "The Lost Tomb" puts more attention on the quality of the work.

As for the first season of "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", I can only say that it is an idol drama disguised as a suspense adventure.

The two are not suitable to be compared together.
By the way, a few years ago, Li Yu bought the film and television adaptation rights of a bunch of novels in a package. He bought "Ghost Blows Out the Light", but he didn't buy "Grave Robbers' Chronicles".

Because he feels that "Ghost Blows Out the Light" has reached the ceiling of this genre.

The story, logic and excitement of "Ghost Blows Out the Light" are all higher than "Grave Robbers' Chronicles".

It’s not that “Grave Robbers’ Chronicles” is bad.

In fact, "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" is not bad at all. If "Ghost Blows Out the Light" is 100 points, then "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" must be 90 points.

However, there are too many traps in "Grave Robbers' Chronicles", such as the ultimate story and the young man's life experience, which even the author himself cannot make up for.

So much so that later screenwriters of the "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" series of films and TV dramas had to find ways to help the author fill in the holes.

This is also one of the important reasons why Li Yu failed to take over "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" that year.

Even the author's own explanation is unclear, and even the author himself can't fill those holes, so how can he fill them? Even if he fills them, it may not satisfy the fans of the original work.

"Ghost Blows Out the Light" is still better. It can make sense on its own. Just film it as it is and don't use any plots that insult the audience's IQ.

For example, in the previous second the audience is told how dangerous the Insect Valley is, and in the next second a group of villagers can successfully sneak in.

For example, don't always insert some embarrassing idol drama scenes.

Teacher Liu is right. Adaptation is not random editing. Such random editing is really worse than no editing at all.

Perhaps seeing the success of "The Lost Tomb", news of the preparation of a sequel to "The Lost Tomb" soon spread.

The success of "The Lost Tomb" proves that this subject matter can also be a huge success as long as it is filmed well.

"Grave Robbers' Chronicles" is the second largest IP in this genre after "Ghost Blows Out the Light". It is not surprising that they want to use this IP to shoot a TV series that is no better than "The Lost Tomb".

Li Yu himself doesn't care about this.

In his impression, except for "Ultimate Notes" which is considered a masterpiece and the first season of "The Lost Tomb" which is quite good, the reputation and quality of the rest of the "Grave Robbers' Chronicles" series are quite poor.

There is not even the slightest possibility of posing a threat to his Ghost Blows Out the Light series.
