China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 580: Crazy Storm Premiere
Some time has passed, and "Storm" is finally coming.

The drama is scheduled to be broadcast simultaneously on CCTV and A Station.

Because the scale of this drama is really large, it is a new drama on the theme of cracking down on gangs.

This kind of drama has propaganda significance, and CCTV has made great efforts in the review and other aspects.

Otherwise, it would be difficult for Li Yu to get this drama approved.

TV shows and movies like "The Storm" and "In the Name" are very interesting.

It is clearly a story about the good guys defeating the villains and bringing them to justice.

What is very dramatic is that the good guys in this type of film and television dramas are far less popular than the villains.

After returning from the crew of "The Wandering Earth", Li Yu, who had rested for a while, began to arrange the promotion of "Kuang Kuang".

Li Yu employed many veteran actors when filming "Kuangchuan".

The direction of publicity is definitely that all the cast members have good acting skills.

Among them, the character of Gao Qiqiang is so charming, he is the soul of "Storm".

This first official promotional video is a bit like the story of a gangster’s rise to power.

There's nothing we can do about it. We can't promote Anxin, right?

The character of An Xin is too idealistic. In order to uphold the justice in her heart, she will never give up and will even give up her life and her love.

This image is certainly positive, but it has a big flaw: it is not down-to-earth or real enough.

If An Xin is made the focus of publicity, the effect will definitely not be comparable to that of Gao Qiqiang.

The protagonist of the promotional video is set to be Gao Qiqiang, and many of An Xin’s famous scenes are also reflected in the promotional video.

Li Yu wants to create a feeling for the audience that two powerful actors are competing against each other.

This carefully crafted promotional video is very effective.

"With this cast and this list of actors, did the director use up all his connections in his life to invite these people? I can only say it's outrageous."

"The guy above, don't you see who the director is? In recent years, Director Li's new dramas have been like this, and they are basically all talented and veteran actors."

"I can't name many of the faces in this promo, but when I see their faces, a lot of characters and old dramas flash through my mind."

"With this lineup, if the screenwriter is not good, please find an old crooked tree to hang yourself on. Ah? The screenwriter is also Director Li, then it's okay, this one is definitely a sure thing."

"Who is Zhang Songwen? I've never heard of him before. Whose general is he? To be honest, he should play the villain. He really has that vibe. In other dramas, people worry that the villain will be killed by the protagonist. But when I see him playing a gangster, I'm afraid the protagonist will be killed by him within two episodes. He's really a bit sinister, smiling but hiding a dagger."

"Don't you have any fresh meat? Love it."

……

Zhang Yi, who had been filming in Africa for four and a half months, returned to China.

Li Yu sent him a message on WeChat, asking him to cooperate with the crew to promote "Kuangchuan" on Weibo.

It would be impossible for Zhang Yi not to promote "Kuangbiao" for Li Yu.

Li Yu did not force Gao Qiqiang, whom Zhang Yi had invested a lot of time and energy in studying, to be given to Zhang Songwen.

For Li Yu, Gao Qiqiang was chosen to play Zhang Songwen first, and then he asked Zhang Yi to play An Xin.

In order to get Zhang Yi to agree, Li Yu recommended him to Lin Chaoxian.

In other words, Zhang Yi agreed to play the role of An Xin, a character much less attractive than Gao Qiqiang, in exchange for Li Yu's recommendation.

Li Yu did not let him down, and he was able to star in "Operation Red Sea" as he wished.

Therefore, Zhang Yi paid great attention to the promotion of "Kuangchuan".

After Li Yu informed him, he immediately reposted the promotional video on his Weibo account and said: "I remember when Director Li asked me to read the script, I fell in love with the role of Gao Qiqiang at first sight. I said I didn't want to play anyone else but Gao Qiqiang. Unfortunately, Director Li told me that the role of Gao Qiqiang had already been given to Teacher Zhang Songwen, and even the contract had been signed.

I was quite unconvinced, but later when I saw teacher Zhang Songwen's acting skills on the set, I was completely convinced.

My evaluation of Teacher Zhang Songwen is that others don’t act like him, and you don’t act like him.

If there really is such a person as Gao Qiqiang in the world, it is definitely Gao Qiqiang's fault if he doesn't look like Teacher Zhang. "

Zhang Yi not only cooperated with the crew in publicity, but also praised Zhang Songwen's acting skills.

He also admitted that he could do a good job in playing Gao Qiqiang.

But it would be hard for him to perform better than Zhang Songwen.

Such a thing as a natal character really exists, and a person's early experiences and image and temperament are highly consistent with this role.

It is clear that Gao Qiqiang is so strong that it is difficult for others to surpass him through acting skills.

Zhang Songwen is a man who understands the ways of the world. Zhang Yi praised him a lot. He also had a business conversation with Zhang Yi that night, praising Zhang Yi for his professionalism and strong business skills. He felt quite pressured to act with Zhang Yi.

Everything is going in the right direction.

Li Yu was very satisfied with the publicity effect achieved.

Especially Zhang Songwen, he benefited the most.

He became famous even before "Kuaishou" was aired.

Zhang Songwen couldn't help but feel a little emotional. It really feels different when someone supports you.

No one supported him before, and he had been acting for more than ten years but had not made any name for himself and was still playing supporting roles.

After acting in Li Yu's play, his acting career immediately began to soar.

It makes sense that so many new female stars are vying to become "Mou Girls" or "Xing Girls".

It is hard to say whether she can stay in the top ranks for a long time just by relying on the title of Star Girl and Mou Girl.

As long as you don't act pretentious and work hard on filming, you can make a living for the rest of your life with just a title, and live a very comfortable life.

Zhang Songwen is not a woman, but he has experienced the happiness of those famous female directors.

He had a strong feeling that after the broadcast of "Rampage", his days of playing supporting roles might be gone forever, at least in the television industry.

Amid the anticipation of countless people, "The Storm" was finally aired.

The ratings on the first day of its premiere exceeded 3, with a market share of 17%.

Li Yu once again proved with his works that although his dramas have not been premiered on TV for many years, as long as he comes back, he will still be the king of ratings.

With a viewership rating of 3, it is the undisputed ratings champion in the same period. No one can beat it.

In other words, television stations have declined and fewer people are watching television.

If it was released ten years ago, Director Li Yu's drama would have had higher ratings.

Such an achievement is inseparable from the fame of director Li Yuda and the quality of "Storm".

The first two episodes of "Storm" are full of excitement and high-energy plots.

One day after the premiere of "Kuang Da", Li Yu received many congratulatory messages from his colleagues.

Da Tiantian, who is currently filming The Glory of Tang Dynasty, sent a message to Li Yu: "A lot of people are paying attention to Kuang Biao. Many people in the crew were talking about Kuang Biao today. Will I become famous again?"

Da Tiantian played Meng Yu in "Kuang Biu", a character that was transformed by Li Yu and became much more likable.

"Just give it a try, Xiaohong. It's not like you haven't been famous before. It's not worth making a fuss about." Li Yu said lightly.
