China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 571 The King of Prostitution
"Okay, I believe you." Da Tiantian chose to listen to the advice again.

After returning, she will take a good look at the script called The Glory of Tang Dynasty.

If she thinks it suits her, she will spend three or two hundred million to shoot it.

Just three or two small goals, nothing to her.

If anyone can come up with a good script that makes her excited and ask her to invest hundreds of millions, she won't even blink an eye.

And her demands are as simple as those of a coal boss.

The coal boss asked for his favorite actress or his lover to play the leading female role.

Da Tiantian’s only requirement is that she be given the leading female role, and she doesn’t care about the rest.

She pondered for a while and asked Li Yu: "Do you have an idea for your next work? Are you going to continue making TV series or movies?

Your number one position in the domestic box office has changed hands several times. Are you motivated to make new movies now?"

While saying these words, Da Tiantian felt very happy and had a kind of pleasure in confronting Li Yu.

She had persuaded Li Yu to make a movie before.

Li Yu said very Versaillesly that he was already number one, he was too lonely and had no motivation to make a new movie.

The first one was lost a long time ago, so Li Yu can’t say such pretentious words, right?
This time, Da Tiantian can really show off.

Because Li Yu really couldn't say such Versailles words.

"Wolf Warrior 2" and "Operation Red Sea" are coming out next year, but he doesn't dare to say that his movie will definitely be able to regain the top spot at the box office.

"I haven't thought about it yet. I've been busy with the association's affairs recently. Besides, I've worked so hard for so many years, can't I stop and enjoy myself?"

Li Yu replied.

Of course, Li Yu did have some thoughts in his mind.

He has filmed the TV series "The Disguiser" and "Storm", both of which are waiting to be broadcast.

If I continue to shoot TV series, it might become a bit monotonous.

He wanted to go back and make a movie, even if it couldn't set the record for number one at the domestic box office.

He also has some ideas about the genre of the new film. He plans to make a mythological film.

Li Yu was not the pioneer of the mythological film genre, but it was indeed he who made it popular.

His "The Great Wall" series proved that mythological films have a huge market.

The national master actually followed up quickly and made a whole movie called "Fengshen" and reaped a huge profit.

Recently, the national master has been working on the second part of Fengshen.

Of course, Li Yu couldn't just sit there and watch the national teacher take all the profits from the track he opened up.

If he wanted to make a mythological film, he would not compete with the national master for the title of deity.

Because there are so many famous mythological stories in history, such as the Precious Lotus Lantern.

As long as you are willing to spend money on special effects, it will not be a problem to make an excellent industrial special effects movie.

However, Li Yu has not yet decided which story to choose.

He was too lazy to tell Da Tiantian about this matter which had no clue about it.

……

The next day, Da Tiantian sent a message to Li Yu, saying that she had read the script all night and thought "The Glory of Tang Dynasty" was very good, and she wanted to meet with the screenwriter.

Li Yu always complains about Da Tiantian’s poor taste in choosing scripts. In fact, she is not wrong, her taste is really poor.

But, Da Tiantian occasionally has moments of exceptional performance.

In the original time and space, she read the script of "Sito" with her own eyes and thought it was good, so she took the role.

A few years ago, "Startling by Each Step" was also purchased by Da Tiantian herself, and she relied on her financial ability to get the film and television rights before Tangren.

As for Chen Kaige and his wife, Li Yu did not abandon them.

Last time, Li Yu promised to write a script for Ase.

Li Yu will definitely do what he has promised.

The name of this script is "Light Me Up, Warm You". This drama was filmed by Ase later, and it is considered one of the better ones among his many works.

On a certain rating website, it actually scored 7.6 points.

To be honest, this rating is definitely inflated.

Objectively speaking, this drama is definitely above average.

Li Yu helped to revise the original version. If the director shoots it well and the actors perform well, it can get a score of 7.

In addition, this drama is based on an original novel called "Lighter and Princess Dress".

Of course, Li Yu bought the film and television rights to the novel before writing the script.

When Li Yu handed the script to Chen Kaige's family, they were all very satisfied.

Asai thought to himself that his expectations were not in vain.

The scripts written by Li Yu are many times better than those written by his biological father.

This script was written exactly to his liking. If I had to find fault with it, it would be that the protagonist's quality was not as high as Professor Qiao's.

Chen Kaige was also somewhat moved. He read the script and thought it was quite average.

But he knew that Li Yu was deliberately suppressing his talent.

It has to be written like this so that his son can play the role.

If Li Yu had not suppressed his talent and written a "Vanishing Lover", his son would not have been able to perform at all.

Li Yu really has good intentions.

After taking care of Chen Kaige's family, Li Yu took a break for a while.

……

In the blink of an eye, several months had passed.

Guo Fan’s “The Wandering Earth” has started filming.

Previously, Li Yu recommended Wu Jing to Guo Fan, and Guo Fan arranged a role for Wu Jing.

Wu Jing and Guo Fan got along well in the crew, but Wu Jing vaguely felt that something was wrong.

For this reason, Wu Jing made a special phone call to ask Li Yu to answer his doubts.

“Director Guo is a very loyal and righteous person, but he always told me that The Wandering Earth is a very important work.

After the movie is released, it will definitely have a very positive impact on domestic science fiction films. He also said that his goal is billions.

He was so passionate that I was excited. He didn’t follow the moral code and asked me if I could support the rise of domestic science fiction films without receiving any salary…”

Wu Jing said a lot, but he only wanted to express one thing: has he joined the "Sichuan Xiao" organization?

Why does the director make empty promises and brag to him every day and let him work for free?

According to the usual routine, the next step is to ask him to call his family for money?
If "The Wandering Earth" was not a project led by China Film Group, and he was recommended by Li Yu, he really wanted to call the police.

Li Yu exclaimed, "Wow, Guo Fan has not forgotten his original intention and continues to use his deceiving methods in the crew."

Li Yu had no doubt at all about Guo Fan's eloquence and ability to deceive people.

A director who has only made a few films was able to raise 400 to 500 million yuan to shoot "The Wandering Earth".

Apart from the 80 million from China Film, the rest was all due to his deception. His eloquence is absolutely top-notch among directors.

In addition to Wu Jing, there are other victims behind the scenes of "The Wandering Earth".

The leading male role was already decided at the beginning, and he was a young and handsome actor.

After signing the contract, they found something wrong. The director was too deceptive and they thought it was a scam organization, so they took the initiative to terminate the contract and paid Guo Fan 50,000 yuan in liquidated damages.

Then Guo Fan used the 50,000 yuan in compensation from others to hire Qu Chuxiao to play Liu Qi.

I hired a leading actor without spending a penny, and I just want to ask you if you are convinced.

This is the real king of freeloading.
