China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 525: The Time Traveler Can't Defeat the Son of Fortune
This is what Wang Jing said on Weibo.

"The lower quality of Detective Chinatown 2 compared to Detective Chinatown 1 is not Director Li's fault, but my fault.

Director Li has the ability to write a better script, but he was afraid that I couldn't handle it, so he simplified many of the deep and meaningful parts of the script."

Wang Jing really thought so.

When Li Yu showed him the script of "Detective Chinatown 1", he could see some logical loopholes in it.

Most viewers will not care about these small loopholes, but some more serious viewers will definitely point them out.

Wang Jing felt at the time that Li Yu was really considerate. He was afraid that Li Yu would not be able to handle the script if it was difficult to shoot, so he was willing to sacrifice some logic to make it easier for him to handle it.

In "Detective Chinatown 2", this situation is further developed.

With commercialization at its maximum, the suspense and detective elements that are more difficult to shoot continue to be reduced.

Not only is the movie easy to make, it is also extremely popular with audiences.

Who says this script wasn't tailor-made for Wang Jing? Wang Jing was the first one to get angry.

Director Li is really thoughtful.

Knowing that he is a director who likes to make commercial films, the more commercial the better, so the scripts customized for him are very commercial.

If you treat me as a national hero, I will repay you as a national hero.

Wang Jing believes that Li Yu spent so much time and effort to tailor the script for him.

When Li Yu was subjected to a lot of criticism, he had to stand up and block all the criticism.

Wang Jing's speech on Weibo had an immediate effect.

Those who had questioned the decline in Li Yu's screenwriting skills were instantly relieved after seeing Wang Jing's remarks.

"I was wondering why the script of Detective Chinatown 2 was a bit lame, and it turns out it's because of you."

“To be honest, the script of Detective Chinatown 2 is not bad, it’s just too commercialized, everything is for commercial purposes.

As a movie to watch with family during the Chinese New Year, it is quite good. At least it is a qualified comedy that can bring laughter to the family. "

"I was shocked. I thought Director Li had really regressed. It turns out that the script was tailor-made for Wang Jing. That's fine now."

Li Yu himself was somewhat amused and confused after noticing Wang Jing's speech and netizens' comments.

Could he say that it was all a misunderstanding?

He hardly made any changes to the scripts of "Detective Chinatown 1" and "Detective Chinatown 2", and the scripts are almost exactly the same as the original versions.

He didn't make any custom orders for Wang Jing at all.

But we can’t blame Wang Jing for automatically changing.

Wang Jing’s self-imagination makes sense. The scripts Li Yu wrote for the National Master and Chen Kaige are of very high quality.

The only thing is that the script written for Wang Jing is of poor quality.

Wang Jing would naturally think that Li Yu had fully considered his abilities and therefore did not write the same script for him as the National Master and Chen Kaige.

During the Chinese New Year period, Li Yu was helping Lin Chaoxian write the script for "Operation Red Sea".

The original script of "Operation Red Sea" is very good, but there are still some shortcomings, such as the performance of the female war correspondent was too awkward.

There are also weapons used by the team members. Some savvy military fans analyzed that the ammunition used by the eight team members is not universal in reality.

This is a movie, and perhaps the screenwriter and director thought it would be cooler to give each person a different weapon, which is understandable.

If all eight people were equipped with the same Type 8 rifle, it would be realistic, but not handsome or cool enough.

This is due to some small details that were not done well enough.

What Li Yu had to do was to perfect these small details and try his best to make sure that those who were more serious could not find any bugs. After a lot of effort, Li Yu finally finished revising the script of Operation Red Sea.

Years later, he met Lin Chaoxian.

"Director Li, I really admire you. You are amazing. The box office of Detective Chinatown 2 has already reached 30 billion yuan. This is another movie that has broken the domestic box office record."

Lin Chaoxian said with great admiration.

"That's because Director Wang shot it well."

Li Yu said modestly.

Lin Chaoxian disagrees. He retorted, "Why didn't Wang's own film, which he wrote and directed, achieve such results? Forget 30 billion. Even if he wrote and directed it himself, it would be hard for him to get 15 billion.

Please stop being so modest. Sometimes being too modest is like showing off. "

Li Yu smiled bitterly and shook his head, then handed a script to Lin Chaoxian: "Okay, then I won't be modest. Director Lin, please take a look at the script I wrote first. I hope you can work hard this time and make a blockbuster movie that will break box office records."

There is no problem with the quality and theme of "Operation Red Sea", and there is no problem with Lin Chaoxian's ability.

But forget about breaking the record, Li Yu is not very optimistic.

Because Wu Jing returned to China with the filming team of "Wolf Warrior 2".

"Wolf Warrior 2" will definitely be released before "Operation Red Sea".

"Wolf Warrior 2" is a movie that has everything going for it, and it's a bug-level player with cheats.

Not to mention Lin Chaoxian, even if Li Yu was asked to shoot "Operation Red Sea" by himself, he still couldn't do as well as "Wolf Warrior 2".

Sometimes, the time traveler really cannot beat the son of luck. If you don’t believe it, ask Wang Mang. It’s a sure win for a flying dragon to ride on the face and meteorites can fall from the sky. Can you not accept it?
Lin Chaoxian naturally didn't dare to respond to Li Yu's words: "Director Li, you are too polite. I would be very satisfied if the box office reached more than 10 or 20 billion. I don't even dare to think about breaking the record."

Li Yu smiled and said nothing.

If we calculate based on the original version's performance of 36 billion, there is no possibility for Lin Chaoxian to beat Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2", but there is no problem for him to surpass "Detective Chinatown 2".

However, "Operation Red Sea" has not even started yet, so it is understandable that Lin Chaoxian has set his expectations relatively low.

After taking the script, Lin Chaoxian read it carefully, and then he was conquered by Li Yu's professionalism.

The script written by Li Yu is not only of high quality, but also very detailed.

Li Yu wrote down clearly what types of weapons the members of the combat team used.

This is the result of Li Yu filling the gap. He doesn't want to be criticized by military fans anymore.

"Director Li, you are so meticulous. You even took into account details like weapon models. I don't even need to use my brain. I can just follow the script you wrote."

Lin Chaoxian was amazed.

“The scripts I write are always this detailed.”

Li Yu said calmly.

Lin Chaoxian had never seen the script that Li Yu wrote for Cao Qing. It was more detailed than this one, even with storyboards. It was truly a no-brainer.

Li Yu then asked, "Director Lin, do you think there is anything in this script that needs to be changed?"

"What to change? The script is already very good. It's the best script I've come across in years."

Lin Chaoxian said seriously.

The original version of "Operation Red Sea" was rated 8.2 on a certain website. With Li Yu's work fixing the bugs, the score could be even higher.

Before this, Lin Chaoxian's highest-rated movie was "Fight Back to School".

"Fight Back to School" also scored 8.2 points.
