China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 599 Not Strange, Very Reasonable
Some are happy and some are sad.

As the biggest beneficiaries of the box office success of Wolf Warrior 2, Li Yu, Da Tiantian and Wu Jing are naturally in a good mood.

However, the people involved in "Eternal Love" were not very happy.

Because they served as a stepping stone for "Wolf Warrior 2".

At the beginning, they thought the advantage was mine.

Because the performance of "Eternal Love" on the first day of its release was very impressive, with 68 million in two hours and more than 170 million in one day.

The first-day performance was almost twice that of "Wolf Warrior 2".

The combination of traffic star + Liu Yifei is quite powerful.

However, the quality of the film and the actors' acting skills were not good, and they started to go downhill from the second day.

On the second day, there were only 100 million left. On the third day, there were only 80 million left. On the fourth day, there were only 60 million left.

It is falling at a very fast pace every day, and the real beginning is the peak.

Although this movie is bad, the fact that its single-day box office dropped so quickly has a lot to do with the strength of "Wolf Warrior 2".

Because if there was no "Wolf Warrior 2", and there were no strong competitors during the same period, their screening time would not be divided.

The film's lead actor Liu Yifei called Li Yu to complain, "Li Yu, isn't Wolf Warrior 2 too strong? It's almost squeezing out our screening schedule."

Like many people, she couldn't understand how Wu Jing, a former martial arts actor, could suddenly become so powerful, as if his Ren and Du meridians had been opened.

In the past, Li Yu had a nickname in the circle: the Midas Touch.

Whichever actress Li Yu likes and supports will become famous.

Not many years have passed, but Li Yu has already evolved into a director with the Midas Touch?
"It's the cinema chain's job to reduce your screening schedule. It's your fault that you started at the peak but have been declining ever since. If you can keep your single-day box office stable at over 2 million like Wolf Warrior ,

Even if Wolf Warrior 2 encounters a special event that adds to its popularity, theaters will not schedule a large number of screenings for Wolf Warrior 2. In conclusion, being bad is the original sin, and you guys are too bad. "

Li Yu said nonsense.

"..."

Li Yu's directness left Liu Yifei speechless.

It is true that her performance in "Eternal Love" was too bad. She cannot insist that "Eternal Love" is better than "Wolf Warrior 2" just because she acted in the movie.

Some of the plots in the movie were embarrassing even to her.

For example, Ye Hua performed a ramen ramen show in front of her.

The ramen performance was for the male protagonist to show off his cooking skills to the female protagonist, and also to express his feelings to her, so it should have been very romantic.

The result... let’s just say that compared with the ramen performance, all those greasy CEOs played by Huang Xiaoming have become a bit more refreshing.

After watching the movie, many viewers said that her expression showed that she had reached the limit of her patience, and that the impatience did not seem like she was acting.

Others wondered why she could resist hitting others.

She feels that netizens are her mouthpieces.

Even she herself couldn't bear to watch such an outrageous plot, let alone the audience who paid to go to the cinema.

After acting in these bad movies, Liu Yifei especially missed filming Li Yu's movies.

How nice it was for her to act with Shen Teng in Li Yu's "Dreaming in the Film Circle" at that time.

There weren't so many outrageous plots, and she didn't need to suppress her urge to hit someone while watching a greasy person showing off his cooking skills in front of her.

The most important thing is that the performance and reputation after the release are as different as heaven and earth.

The character Qiu Ya she played in "Dreaming in the Movie Circle" was clearly a scheming and sinister female character, but Li Yu still forced her to act like a green tea lover.

A character with a less positive image received rave reviews from the audience, and even her fans praised her for finally having acting skills. As soon as "Three Lives" came out, the audience began to question her acting skills.

Even her true fans couldn't stand it anymore and told her to go back to Li Yu.

I haven't worked with Li Yu for many years, and the few movies she made are really mediocre.

"I heard that the leaders of my fan support group have betrayed me, saying that the movies I made after I stopped working with you were terrible." Liu Yifei was a little depressed.

Are these her fans or Li Yu’s fans?

Even if it's the truth, some facts can't be said directly, right?

Wouldn't this increase Li Yu's prestige and destroy her ambition?

"Those who dare to speak the truth are the true fans. Have you ever heard that honest advice hurts the ear? The truth is always harsh.

Even though his idol starred in a terrible movie, he still brags about his idol's good acting skills everywhere.

The reason why the movie is bad is that the idols’ highlight moments were cut by the director.

In short, idols are great, and all the mistakes are someone else's fault.

You need to be careful when you encounter such fans, because such fans are more destructive than anti-fans, and bad teammates are always more powerful than enemies. "

Li Yu said very seriously.

"Also, how did you do it? I helped you gain a firm foothold in the film industry with the movie 'Dreaming of the Film Industry'.

How could you turn a promising start into a disastrous situation? Didn't I ask you to change a new team before?"

Li Yu questioned.

"My mom said she doesn't trust anyone else except you, and you won't help me with career planning, so it's better for her to do it herself."

Liu Yifei explained.

"That's what I said. It turns out it was your mother who did it. This is not surprising. It makes sense."

Li Yu felt that it was consistent with his understanding.

"Why do I feel like you are cursing?"

"I'm just telling the truth. I've always been such an honest person."

"..."

"If you are free, can you take me to shoot another movie?" Liu Yifei stated the purpose of his call.

"I'm not free in the short term. I will probably shoot a few movies in Hollywood. Also, you've starred in so many bad movies in recent years. As long as the audience sees your name, they will subconsciously think that this movie is a bad movie. You might as well go back and shoot two TV series to restore your reputation, and then make movies when your reputation improves." Li Yu gave a suggestion.

Anyway, she finally went back to film a TV series, a web series at that, so it’s better for her to go back early.

There is only one reason why she doesn't want to go back to filming TV series. She feels that she is already a movie actor and it would be embarrassing to go back to filming TV series.

In fact, this was how she answered Li Yu.

"Da Tiantian's performance in movies is much better than yours. She doesn't think it's shameful to act in TV series, and no one thinks it's cheap for her to act in TV series.

You are obviously not very old, why do you think so old-fashioned? It was indeed the case more than a decade ago, but now the times have changed.

International star Zhang Ziyi has even been a judge on a variety show. Do you still think movie stars are very prestigious?
If movie stars were really that prestigious, would there be so many movies starring popular stars on the market? "

"But……"

"Don't say buts, and don't be so stubborn. Let's take a step back. Even if you will lose face if you go back to film TV series, let me ask you a question. Isn't it embarrassing to film a bunch of crappy movies? Since you will lose face anyway, you might as well win some reputation and get more fans." Li Yu's fatal blow silenced the other party.
