China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 666 can’t be avoided, right?
"Then shouldn't you help me to check my movie "Hotel Del Luna"? I will listen to your advice." Da Tiantian said again.

She had already calculated that it would take a long time before Li Yu's "Thief" would start filming.

It takes a long time just to prepare the props for the filming of the movie.

Most of her scenes in "Hotel Del Luna" are modern dramas, and the ancient dramas are not that complicated and can be filmed in any well-known ancient movie studio.

Since Li Yu is free anyway, he might as well help her to check the quality and make "Hotel Del Luna" better.

She is ambitious. Even if she wants to act in an idol drama, she wants to act in a ceiling in the idol drama field.

In order to encourage Li Yu to come out, Da Tiantian did her homework before coming: "You used to be the famous father of domestic idol dramas, and the idol dramas you filmed are still the ceiling of domestic idol dramas.

The people who are making idol dramas nowadays are really terrible. Since you have some free time, why don’t you teach them how to make idol dramas?”

"Don't we have Director Mu? He is the expert in idol dramas. He has been working in this field for many years." Li Yu wanted to refuse.

He is already at this level, it is not suitable for him to act in idol dramas.

It's just like someone in the King rank creating a smurf and going to the Bronze rank to fish.

However, as a producer, he helps Da Tiantian to check and improve the quality, so there is no problem.

Anyway, he won't have much to do in the next few months. The release of "Barbie" is still a long way off, and the filming of "Thief" is also still a long way off.

So Li Yu said, "How about this, Director Mu will be in charge of the filming, and I'll just be listed as the producer. If I have time, I'll go to the set and help you guys check it out."

This is exactly what Da Tiantian wanted Li Yu to say.

She also didn't expect Li Yu to personally direct the film for her, as that was unrealistic.

Li Yu had given her a lot of face by agreeing to be the producer and help her to check the film.

Li Yu pondered for a while and asked, "Have you decided on the actor for the male lead? It's a rule for idol dramas. The heroine of idol dramas has to be a beauty and the hero has to be a handsome guy.

First of all, the protagonist must be good-looking and the script must be good before it can become a phenomenally popular work.

The protagonist of "Hotel Del Luna" is a young man who has just graduated from Harvard in the United States. It would be most appropriate to find a young and handsome guy to play the role.

But the quality of young actors in recent years is too poor, and their acting skills are getting worse and worse. It’s really unbearable to watch.”

Li Yu couldn't help but complain. It makes sense that Chinese idol dramas cannot beat foreign ones. The young generation of actors are all terrible.

Look at what kind of young handsome guys he led when he was filming idol dramas, Qiao Zhenyu and Yan Kuan. And then look at the young handsome guys nowadays, how should he lead them?
In the words of the national football team's general Fan, what is the level of the current entertainment industry? Among the popular young actors, there are few who have acting skills. Can they lead the way? They don't have the ability.

"I think Yangyang is pretty good. His age is suitable and his looks are even more suitable," said Li Muge.

"..." Li Yu was simply silenced by him.

He has no prejudice against Yangyang.

Yang Yang is indeed handsome. In terms of appearance, he is basically the ceiling among the young generation of handsome guys.

Moreover, Yang Yang has a very positive outlook on life. In his early years, when he was not yet famous, he used his Weibo account to say that he had watched the men's mixed relay race, and told those who were living a good life... just wait, the Chinese team will destroy them sooner or later.

I believe many of Yangyang’s fans don’t know about this.

So even though Li Yu and Liu Yifei complained about Yang Yang during their chat, if we really talk about understanding Yang Yang, Yang Yang’s fans may not be able to catch up with him.

A handsome young actor with positive values ​​deserves strong support.

But Yangyang has a fatal flaw, he is too dignified. He has too much idol baggage, he is always dignified, always showing off his superior looks, for fear that others don't know how handsome he is, for fear that he can't charm others.

Therefore, many of his works were criticized for being greasy.

Li Yu's understanding of greasy is this: as long as a person is very obsessed with a certain "expertise" and is always showing off this to others, he will appear very greasy.

For example, Yang Yang shows off his looks, and Tang Zhu always shows off his "charm" in the drama, so it's so greasy that it's disgusting.

As long as they can control themselves and not always show off a certain area of ​​confidence in front of the camera, it is difficult to act in a good drama that tests their acting skills, but it is possible to act in an idol drama.

Because idol dramas don’t really test your acting skills.

As long as he is handsome and his acting skills don’t distract the audience, he’s qualified. The requirements are that low.

"Director Li, why don't you speak?" Li Muge was puzzled when he saw that Li Yu fell silent.

Li Yu couldn't say whether Li Muge really couldn't avoid Yang Yang, right?
He had reminded Li Muge several times, hoping that he would avoid Yangyang in the future, but he didn't expect that he still couldn't avoid it. Maybe this was his fate.

But we can't blame Li Muge. He is an actor with a righteous look, very handsome, and positive values, and every director would like him.

Even if I don't like it, I definitely won't hate it.

"Yang Yang is a little too reserved, and he has too much image baggage as an idol. The last movie he and Liu Yifei worked on together was badly criticized by people.

I don't doubt his looks at all, I just doubt that he can't get rid of the image of being an idol.

As long as he can get rid of his idol image, there is nothing wrong with him acting in an idol drama."

This is what Li Yu thinks.

"Love O2O" is the work that made Yang Yang famous. This work has become popular abroad and was praised by official media as the cultural export of domestic entertainment.

At that time, Yang Yang had a bit of an idol image, but it wasn’t too obvious, so the work was a success.

After he became famous, the burden of being an idol became heavier and heavier, and problems began to arise.

However, this is also related to the director not being good enough. The "good enough" here refers to having strong abilities, high status, and the courage to criticize actors mercilessly.

Most directors could see that he had problems, but for various reasons they were afraid to tell him, so his condition became increasingly serious.

Like Li Muge in his previous life, he didn't say anything and could only go along with it.

As long as Li Yu is here, we will be safe.

There is no actor that Li Yu dare not criticize. In the past, Fan Xiaopang acted badly in his dramas and used the established acting template to force the performance. Li Yu asked her to shoot more than ten or twenty takes.

When Da Tiantian just starred in Li Yu's play, her team started to make comments, saying this was not allowed and that was not allowed.

Li Yu directly rebuked them, saying, "I don't care what you think, I care what I think." The director on the set has the final say, and filming is not their responsibility. If they continue to give blind instructions, he will ask the security guards to drive them away.

He even dared to scold Cheng Long, who was known as the big brother, in front of everyone. He was not afraid of offending the actors.

So Li Yu did not raise any objection in the end. If Li Muge wanted to use Yang Yang, then he could use Yang Yang.

With him around, he felt he could save the day.
