China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 548 I Want to Provide for Your Old Age

There are thousands of dirty words to curse people, but this is the first time that Da Tiantian has heard such dirty words.

What do you mean she can't tell whether a script is good or bad even if it's sent to her?

Not only does it have a critical hit effect, but it also comes with true damage. No matter how thick the armor she wears, she can't withstand this blow.

She broke defense.

But her main characteristic is that she listens to advice, especially Li Yu's advice.

So she accepted Li Yu's suggestion and agreed to come to Guangdong Province in two days.

Two days later, Da Tiantian arrived as expected.

She was very lucky. As soon as she arrived, she had the opportunity to witness Gao Qiqiang's famous battle.

Gao Qiqiang, played by Zhang Songwen, was introduced by Gao Ye's sister-in-law to Uncle Tai, a gangster boss wearing a white hat.

"That's Gao Qiqiang."

Sister-in-law Chen Shuting hugged Uncle Tai and whispered to Uncle Tai to introduce Gao Qiqiang who was standing next to them.

When Uncle Tai's eyes swept over, Zhang Songwen knelt down in front of so many people: "Uncle Tai, I heard that you don't have any children. My parents died early, and if you don't mind, I want to take care of you in your old age."

In the scene where he kneels down to Uncle Tai, Gao Qiqiang’s performance is so great.

Every detail is just right.

He was a weak man, and when he met a big boss, he had to express his opinion and was a little nervous, but he couldn't back down and had to play it safe.

His expression and movements perfectly portrayed the feeling of being both scared and determined.

Da Tiantian, who had just arrived on the set, was shocked when she saw this scene.

She finally understood why Li Yu dared to invest 500 million yuan to shoot this movie.

She also understood why Li Yu chose Zhang Songwen, someone she had never heard of, to play the villain Gao Qiqiang.

Zhang Songwen's acting in the role of Gao Qiqiang is absolutely amazing.

This makes actors like Da Tiantian, who rely on their looks and money to make a living, feel ashamed.

Compared with Zhang Songwen, she is not a qualified actor.

She even had this feeling: what else was she except for her fair skin, beautiful appearance and a net worth of ten figures? Nothing.

"Beautiful, I'll keep one." Li Yu said.

It’s a real pleasure to work with professional actors with good acting skills.

Not only does it make director Li Yu less worried, it also allows him to watch the original soundtrack on the set.

Actors Zhang Songwen and others performed very stably in the second take of filming, and both takes turned out great.

Li Yu asked them to take a break before continuing.

"Too strong, isn't he? Isn't Teacher Zhang from our school's vocational school? How come everyone in the vocational school is so strong now?"

Da Tiantian was shocked.

Isn’t it said that those who fail to get into undergraduate school go to junior college?

Why can junior college students like Huang Bo and Zhang Songwen hang up and beat their undergraduate counterparts?

"What's wrong with the vocational college classes? Don't think that your undergraduate acting classes are so valuable. You can get into the Beijing Film Academy acting class by just showing your face. How high can the threshold be?" Li Yu complained.

Da Tiantian really wanted to clear the name of the undergraduate class of the Performance Department of Beijing Film Academy, but she found that what Li Yu said seemed to be true.

Someone like Da Tiantian, who got into college by relying on her good looks and money, is really not as good as a junior college student like Zhang Songwen who is in a vocational college.

Because the examiners at Beijing Film Academy are very superficial, people who look like Li Yu and Da Tiantian can be admitted easily.

People like Zhang Songwen who cannot make a living by relying on their looks can only rely on their hard power to conquer the reviewers, which is much more difficult than those who use facial recognition to pass the exam.

If you don't believe it, you can watch Jiang Wen. No one should doubt Jiang Wen's talent and acting skills, right?
As strong as Jiang Wen is, he was rejected by the examiner when he applied for Beijing Film Academy because of his ugly appearance and voice.

What’s even more interesting is that Jiang Wu, who shares the same face with Jiang Wen, was successfully admitted to Beijing Film Academy.

This is certainly not because the reviewers at Beijing Film Academy have corrected their obsession with appearance, but because they made a mistake in choosing Jiang Wen and got severely slapped in the face.

Seeing Jiang Wu, who looked very similar to Jiang Wen, how could they dare to refuse? They were also afraid of being slapped in the face twice.

"If I had known that Teacher Zhang and everyone else's acting skills were so good, I would have come earlier." Da Tiantian found that she could not justify the undergraduate class, so she decisively chose to change the subject.

"It's not too late for you to come now." Li Yu said calmly.

"Everyone's acting is so good, will I be outdone in the drama?" Da Tiantian felt a little worried.

"No, I have specially modified the role of Meng Yu. The character's personality is so good and it suits you very well. There will definitely be no problem if you bring out the same working attitude you had when filming my movie." Li Yu replied.

There is no need to worry about Da Tiantian's work attitude.

She is somewhat similar to Liu Yifei, both of them are beautiful but have average acting skills.

What they both have in common is that they may not be good at acting, but their attitude is definitely fine.

With Li Yu around, with a little guidance and instruction from her, Da Tiantian's acting skills will definitely be above the passing line.

With qualified acting skills, an extremely good character, and a tragic ending, this character is destined to be very likable.

"That's good." Da Tiantian nodded. Li Yu's character was trustworthy, and Li Yu had never cheated her.

After Da Tiantian joined the crew, the filming speed began to speed up.

A month and a half later, the shooting progress of Kuang Biao reached 50%.

On this day, something very important is about to happen.

The second part of "Ghost Blows Out the Light", "Longling Mystery Cave", directed by Cao Qing and starring Pan Yueming and Zhang Yuqi, will be broadcast on A Station.

Cao Qing, who is currently serving as deputy director of "Kuang Biao", takes this matter very seriously.

The second part is finally here. His requirement for the first four parts of Ghost Blows Out the Light is that each one must be successful.

Only if every film is successful, Li Yu promised that his Ghost Blows Out the Light movie will have a chance to be released.

In order to catch up with the shooting schedule, the crew of "The Storm" worked more than ten hours a day during this period.

This is not about director Li Yu exposing his true colors, it’s mainly because the cost is too high.

The number of crew members alone exceeded 600, which is even more exaggerated than the crews of some movies.

The daily expenses for food and accommodation for 600 people in Jiang City are a huge sum.

This does not include the expenses of renting cars and venues for the crew.

It's no exaggeration to say that you can spend hundreds of thousands of dollars a day without doing anything.

Li Yu really doesn't dare to take a single day off.

However, considering that everyone has been working under high pressure for nearly two months, tonight happens to be the day when "Longling Mystery Cave" will be broadcast.

Li Yu should have given everyone a night off, treated everyone to a good meal, and then watched "Longling Mystery Cave" to support Cao Qing.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, Li Yu's assistant walked to the middle of the crowd and shouted, "Director Li said that the crew will have a dinner party later. We will not shoot tonight and will watch the premiere of "Longling Mystery Cave"."

With such a large crew, the sound cannot be carried to every corner just by the assistant's voice.

However, through word of mouth, within ten minutes, everyone in the crew knew that there would be a free dinner on the night off.

They were all in high spirits and in a very good mood.

"Long live the director, thank you for the meal."
