China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 573 He understands the effect of the show
"Forget it. I suggest you don't do it. Only a few people can look better after plastic surgery. Even if they can look better, there is a price to pay. The original one is still the best."

Li Yu has seen Da Tiantian's sad frog double eyelids.

The double eyelids and bags under the eyes are so exaggerated, it would be better not to have any plastic surgery.

Later, Da Tiantian herself regretted it. After removing the line, she filmed "Sito", and her appearance immediately returned to its peak.

So sometimes you really can't just do it blindly, and there are many examples where it would be worse if you didn't do it.

A typical example is Liu Yifei’s good friend Shu Chang, who plays the silly girl in “Magic Phone”.

She is obviously very beautiful and has a natural talent for acting.

She and Liu Yifei met during the filming of "The Story of a Noble Family". They were about the same age, both fourteen or fifteen years old.

The lead actor Chen Kun disliked Liu Yifei's poor acting skills, but he did not dislike Shu Chang's poor acting skills.

In order to persuade Da Tiantian not to do anything reckless, Li Yu used the example of Shu Chang to persuade her.

Da Tiantian promised to look up relevant information in the evening.

She should have listened to what Li Yu said.

As for whether or not she will finally take the step of becoming a sad frog, it all depends on her.

Li Yu said what he needed to say and gave advice as needed.

They are all adults, and if she is really determined to do something, Li Yu has no right to stop her.

"As for the script, I will make some minor adjustments for you. You should also pay attention when you are acting. A drama with a female lead can be Mary Sue, but you can't be a demon and let a bunch of male characters clean up your mess.

If you can do this well, play a true heroine role, and spend money on costumes and makeup, so that people can enjoy watching the drama, it will definitely be good."

Li Yu knows too well how dramas with female protagonists are ruined.

She claims to be a heroine, but in fact the plot and the acting are so far-fetched that she is simply a troublemaker.

Apart from getting into trouble, I don't see what she is capable of.

And after she gets into trouble, there will always be a handsome male character who will suddenly appear to help her solve the problem, leaving the heroine alone.

A true heroine must have her own rationality and pursuits. She will not want to become a vassal of others. When she encounters a problem, she will not fantasize about relying on a handsome guy to help solve it, but will rely on her own abilities and wisdom to be self-sufficient.

This kind of heroine is called a real heroine.

Li Yu’s advice to Da Tiantian is that “The Glory of Tang Dynasty” should try to move in the right direction.

When it comes to big things like this, Da Tiantian is still very receptive to advice.

She gave an answer on the spot, saying that Li Yu had the final say.

Li Yu and Da Tiantian also called Li Muge to discuss many small details.

……

After some time has passed, "The Disguiser" and "Yunnan Worm Valley" are about to be broadcast.

The first program to be broadcast was "Yunnan Worm Valley" directed by Cao Qing.

Before the show started, Li Yu asked Cao Qing and the Iron Triangle to go to Station A to do some publicity and warm up the "Ghost Blows Out the Light" movie.

In order to make the effect more explosive, Li Yu also joined their team.

On the day of the live broadcast, with the participation of Li Yu, the popularity of the live broadcast room was much higher than the last time for "Longling Mystery Cave".

Pan Yueming couldn't help but complain to the audience in the live broadcast room: "Are we the main actors or is Director Li the main actor? Why is it that the popularity of our live broadcast room rises as soon as Director Li appears?

Why don’t you play Hu Bayi next time, Director Li? If you play the role, more people will definitely want to watch it.”

"Every profession has its specialties. Acting is not my strong point. I am a director, and you have to play Hu Bayi." Li Yu is not interested in acting.

The only time he acted was as himself in the TV series "Dream of Movies". If he was interested in acting, he would have directed and acted in it long ago. There was no need to wait until today to do it himself.

Some viewers in the live broadcast room sent barrages of messages, asking Li Yu to talk about "Yunnan Worm Valley" which will be broadcast in a few days.

Most people would choose to ignore such comments, or say something like "stay tuned".

Li Yu is different, he really answers people's questions seriously: "I suggest you lower your expectations, Yunnan Worm Bones is the most dangerous volume in the novel.

There are too many fantastic things in the story, and there are many complex scenes that require special effects.

As we all know, generally speaking, the production costs of TV series are not as high as those of movies.

The movie is only an hour and a half long, and it costs a lot of money to make the special effects.

The TV series is more than an hour and a half long, and due to funding limitations, the special effects are not as good as those of the movie.

If you ask me to give a spoiler for "Yunnan Worm Valley", the first two parts scored more than 8 points, but this one will only score points. "

What Li Yu stated were all objective facts.

"Yunnan Worm Valley" is extremely difficult to shoot. If we want to restore all the shocking scenes described in the novel one by one, 500 million yuan will not be enough.

What's more, the investment cost of "Yunnan Worm Valley" is far less than 500 million.

It is certain that "Yunnan Worm Valley" shot under such circumstances is not as good as the previous two films.

Fortunately, the script was written by Li Yu. He did not come up with any weird plot about villagers following the king to offer sacrifices to his tomb. He just wrote the story of the iron triangle's adventure.

This series highlights danger and thrill, and the total number of episodes has been shortened by several episodes.

After Li Yu finished his speech, not only the audience in the live broadcast room were confused.

Even Cao Qing, Pan Yueming and others felt like they were stabbed in the back by Li Yu.

They tried their best to promote "Yunnan Worm Valley", but the boss Li Yu actually undermined his employees?
The ministers are about to fight to the death, why does Your Majesty surrender first?
Cao Qing is a smart man, but he was a little confused at first.

Gradually, he began to understand Li Yu's intentions.

Li Yu is lowering everyone's expectations.

The first two films were both excellent works with a score of over eight, which whetted everyone's appetite.

If things are allowed to develop, people will naturally have higher expectations for the third part.

The reality is that the third part is unlikely to be better than the first two due to many factors such as funding and difficulty in adaptation.

When people's expectations are too high, they will be disappointed to see a "Yunnan Worm Valley" that is slightly inferior to its predecessor.

Lower people's expectations and let them not have too high hopes.

Then they found that "Yunnan Worm Valley" was actually quite good, not as bad as they thought, and they became even happier. This is psychology.

Many cheerful voices appeared in the barrage.

"Did you notice Director Cao's expression just now? It was as if he was saying that I spent half an hour bragging, but Director Li just wasted my half an hour's effort with just a few words."

"Director Li is indeed an honest man. Isn't he the boss behind "Yunnan Worm Valley"? This is the first time I've seen a boss behind the scenes speak ill of a film he invested in."

"Director Li is really good at having fun. He understands the effects of the show."

“I didn’t finish my words just now. Due to various factors, Yunnan Worm Valley cannot be made better than the previous two films, but we have a big movie later.

With hundreds of millions of dollars invested, just to capture one story, and spending all the money wisely, we will definitely be able to make a Ghost Blows Out the Light that truly restores the original work."

Li Yu changed the subject and began to advertise the Ghost Blows Out the Light movie.
