China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 537 The motivation for filming has arrived
"You came to me in person, it shouldn't be just to show me that you can turn red just by washing your face, right?"

Li Yu shifted his gaze to Da Tiantian's face.

“I can’t really hide it from you. After my face-washing video went viral online, everyone said I have a sense of variety.

Many variety shows invited me, and I was quite tempted, but I didn’t agree.

Is it embarrassing for a movie star like me to appear on a variety show? "

Da Tiantian wants Li Yu to help her solve her doubts.

She has been very bored recently and wanted to be on a variety show, but because of her identity as a movie star, she couldn't bring herself to do it and felt it was embarrassing to be on a variety show.

Li Yu could understand her twisted mentality.

Many so-called "movie celebrities" are like this. They think they are superior because they acted in movies, and they are afraid that they will lose value if they act in TV dramas or appear on variety shows.

This was the case in the past, but the situation has changed now. It’s just that some people’s thinking is still stuck in the past and they are unable to change.

Even so-called big names like Zhang Ziyi and Feng Xiaogang have started to serve as judges or mentors on variety shows. How can we still talk about "pretentiousness"? Only those who can make money have "pretentiousness".

Just look at the regular guests on "Extreme Jump" and "Running Man" and you will know.

Among those guests there are some talented actors with great acting skills, such as King of Looks.

After those two variety shows became popular, they have been hanging around on variety shows and rarely even filmed dramas.

Some fans asked them if they were not actors, why didn't they focus on acting and become variety show stars.

Some of them answered that they couldn't get any good scripts, so they stayed on variety shows for the time being.

In fact, the real reason is that variety shows are too profitable. A very popular resident guest can earn tens of millions of yuan for one season of the show.

This thing is very popular and easier than filming a movie.

Later, when the salary cap order for variety shows came out, stipulating that the pay for permanent guests per season should not exceed 10 million yuan, all the permanent guests who had been there for several years left, and overnight they could receive good scripts again.

Li Yu doesn't think there is anything shameful about appearing on variety shows.

So he corrected her: "Tiantian, the times have changed. Look at "Extreme Jump" and "Running Man". Are there any big names in them? Are there any movie stars?

I had thought about organizing a variety show on Station A before, but I was too busy and didn’t have the time.

If you are interested in variety shows, you can try taking on one or two suitable ones. Your fans are right, you really have a sense of variety shows."

Li Yu was serious about what he said, and he definitely didn't mean to be rude.

Da Tiantian does have a sense of variety shows. She is well-educated, has high emotional intelligence, is down-to-earth, and has strong psychological endurance.

That’s right, she has a strong psychological endurance.

Don’t think she is very fragile just because she is rich and beautiful and comes from a good family. In fact, she has a good mentality.

Li Yu remembered that in the original time and space, there was a program on the Doumiao website where celebrities answered the vicious comments from DouMiao users.

The program crew really didn't give her any chance to filter out the comments from those vicious netizens, which was very disrespectful to her.

The program team brought the following comments from netizens to her...

Da Tiantian is totally unrecognizable in a crowd. Any shopping guide in Xidan looks better than her.

The plot of the movie was arranged for her, but she exists to ruin the movie.

Her acting skills have finally improved from 2 points to 3 points, out of a full score of 100 points.

As long as she is in the film, this movie will be ruined. Faced with so many scathing and sharp reviews, she can read them one by one in a gentle tone, and occasionally even make a joke, which shows her emotional intelligence and mentality.

If it were another female star with a bad mentality, she would probably have broken down on the spot.

In the original time and space, she also appeared in some variety shows, and attracted many fans with her natural, genuine, down-to-earth qualities.

"You already said you wanted to do a variety show, so why don't I just go on your show and become a regular guest."

Da Tiantian said.

Out of trust in Li Yu, when faced with the choice between Li Yu's variety show and other people's variety shows, she chose the former.

Because based on her experience of working with Li Yu over the years, Li Yu's output has always been reliable and guaranteed.

Li Yu was in a dilemma. If he had started variety shows a few years ago, there would actually be a show suitable for Da Tiantian - "Running Man".

However, Li Yu was busy filming a movie at the time and had no spare energy to do a variety show. Zhejiang Satellite TV had already started this program after introducing it from Shilla a few years ago.

Li Yu also has no time to do variety shows now, as the Game of Thrones series is waiting for him to shoot.

"Forget it. I don't have the time or energy to do variety shows anytime soon. Right now I just want to make movies and TV series. I'll find some time to help you pick one or two variety shows that are suitable for you."

Li Yuwan rejected Da Tiantian's request.

In the next one to two years, China's film industry will become very exciting.

"Wolf Warrior 2", "Operation Red Sea" and "The Wandering Earth" are all coming. Once these movies are released, the domestic box office record will be raised to a new height.

Li Yu has lost the throne of the number one domestic box office for a long time.

The emergence of so many strong opponents gives him enough motivation to make new movies.

Da Tiantian immediately became interested: "Are you going to shoot a new movie again? Will there be a role suitable for me? Li Yu, you know that money has never been a problem for me."

As soon as Da Tiantian opens his mouth, he shows off his money ability.

Come to think of it, it has been a long time since she acted in a movie directed by Li Yu himself.

If she has the opportunity to act in Li Yu's movie, why would she go on variety shows? She entered the circle to be an actor.

"Tiantian, don't be anxious. I haven't even created my folder yet, and I haven't even started yet. How would I know if there's a role that's suitable for you?"

Li Yu wanted to laugh.

Even if Da Tiantian wants to spend money to make him kneel down, he needs a script.

In the following days, in order to avoid the bored Da Tiantian urging him for the role, Li Yu flew to Western Province to visit the crew of Ghost Blows Out the Light.

With the promise of a big movie as a reward after filming the first four Ghost Blows Out the Light films, Cao Qing, Pan Yueming, Zhang Yuqi and others worked very hard.

The funds of Hualiu Company were enough to support them to shoot continuously, so they shot three films in a row.

The filming of "Longling Mystery Cave" and "Yunnan Worm Valley" has been completed, and the fourth part "Kunlun Temple" is now being filmed in western province.

This speed is actually very normal. The really troublesome part of the Ghost Blows Out the Light series is the post-production. Many scenes, such as going into tombs and encountering monsters, were shot in a pre-built green screen venue.

With Cao Qing's outstanding directing ability and the professionalism of the actors, a film can be completed in an average of two to three months.

Speaking of which, it was Li Yu’s first time to set foot in Western Province. He was a little uncomfortable flying to an altitude of nearly 5,000 meters.

However, Li Yu's physical fitness is still pretty good. Cao Qing and Zhang Yuqi said that some people in the crew went to the hospital to breathe oxygen for several days after arriving in Western Province before they adapted to the environment here.
