China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 671 Rumors
The actors on the set were all stunned by Li Yu and dared not even breathe.

They didn't expect that Li Yu, who was so easy to talk to an hour ago, would get so angry.

And when he gets angry, he doesn't give anyone face.

Yang Yang, who performed poorly, was criticized, and his agent who spoke for Yang Yang was also criticized.

Originally they wanted to act as peacemakers and help to persuade the situation, but after seeing this situation, they all backed off.

Forget it. Not only will persuasion be useless, but it will also bring trouble upon yourself and cause you to get criticized.

No one dares to advise in a situation like this.

There were also some people who gloated over other people's misfortune and were secretly happy.

This type of people usually don't like the current situation in the entertainment industry where young and handsome men are dominant, but for various reasons they dare not speak out, or no one listens even if they do.

What they think in their hearts is that they have long been displeased with you young handsome guys. Your acting skills are obviously not that good, but you get the highest pay.

Other directors will spoil you, but Director Li will not.

As long as the acting is not good, no matter whether you are young or old, you will all be treated equally. Those who deserve criticism will be criticized, and that should be done mercilessly.

Yang Yang and his agent left the stage, and Li Yu said that he would give them a day off so that they could calm down and think about how to act.

What's more, they are top stars and are usually sought after wherever they go. They must feel embarrassed if they are suddenly criticized in public by Li Yu.

After returning to the nanny car, the agent looked at the silent Yang Yang and knew that Yang Yang must have suffered a huge psychological shock.

This may be the harshest scolding Yang Yang has received from a director since his debut, and also the most embarrassing one.

"Didn't you talk to Director Li? He showed no mercy at all." The expression on Yang Yang's face was very bitter.

"Maybe... maybe Director Li values ​​you very much, so he is very disappointed with you. Think about it, a big shot like Director Li is very busy.

Do you think anyone is qualified to be criticized by him? Only people like Miss Jing and Brother Cheng Long can be scolded by Director Li.

So, the harsher Director Li scolds you, the more he values ​​you, and he won’t scold you even if others want him to.”

The agent racked his brains and finally came up with this explanation.

It’s true, although this sounds a bit far-fetched, Yang Yang thinks it makes a lot of sense.

In the past, only big guys like Da Tiantian and Cheng Long had the chance to be scolded.

It's true that he is very famous, but he doesn't dare to compare himself with Jackie Chan and Da Tiantian.

Jackie Chan is one of the most famous Chinese Kung Fu superstars in the world.

Da Tiantian is ten blocks behind Cheng Long, but Da Tiantian has money, and her movie resources are beyond his reach.

These two people would be scolded by Li Yu, so why should he be so squeamish?
Just as his agent said, Li Yu scolded him because he valued him.

If Li Yu didn't value him, he wouldn't bother with him.

I'm afraid even the agent wouldn't have thought that Yang Yang conquered himself with his imagination.

However, his general idea was not wrong; Li Yu's high demands were indeed for his own good.

If Li Yu did not point out his shortcomings and allowed him to develop on his own, then Yang Xingcai would be a replica of Song Yan.

Li Yu scolded him, saying that he was just embarrassing himself in a film crew.

If Li Yu didn't scold him, he would lose face in front of the whole nation. Having figured this out, Yang Yang asked Li Yu about what he had just said on the set: "Director Li just asked me if I had read people's comments on Eternal Love online. Aren't those negative reviews all from trolls and haters?"

"Well... there are indeed water armies and black fans... maybe... just maybe... maybe there are quite a lot of them." The agent had already put it very tactfully.

The number of black fans is not that huge.

Most of them are passers-by. They spent money to buy movie tickets but were disgusted. Aren’t they allowed to complain?
Yang Yang is a smart man. Most of the celebrities who are successful in the entertainment industry have high emotional intelligence.

He could tell what his agent meant, that most of the people who criticized his performance in Eternal Love were just passers-by, or at least not black fans.

And the agent has vision. Next, he said some heartfelt words to Yang Yang.

"The failure of "Fortress of Devil City" has made capital and the market even more distrustful of traffic stars. At the beginning, everyone thought that traffic stars had a lot of fans, and even if only one-tenth of their fans entered the theater, it could easily create a box office of billions.

Countless examples of traffic stars’ failure tell us that fans of traffic stars will only give verbal support, but if they really have to pay money, they will not do so without thinking.

Your movie "Eternal Love" had such a huge investment, yet it failed. It was a huge blow to your film career.

If I can't get in touch with Director Li, I don't know how long I'll have to wait before I can help you get good movie resources.

So work hard, try your best to perform well for Director Li, and prove to him that you are different from other traffic stars."

Yang Yang nodded, he listened to what his agent said.

He began to think carefully about how to play the role of Yang Xingcai.

Yang Yang really tried hard. After returning to the hotel, he made expressions and spoke his lines in front of the mirror.

No one dared to say anything about him before, and he himself didn't think it was obvious.

After being pointed out by Li Yu in public, he himself felt that he was indeed a bit too reserved and was too eager to show off his superior looks in front of the camera.

In order to correct his shortcomings and get into the right state as quickly as possible, Yang Yang called his agent and asked the agent to watch him perform.

"If there is a problem in my acting, you must point it out to me. Don't give me face. Even if you give me face, Director Li will not give me face when we are on the set." Yang Yang didn't want to be criticized in public by Li Yu again. It was really embarrassing.

“……”The agent was also in pain.

After going around in circles, it turned out that he was the one being tortured.

However, he and Yangyang would prosper and suffer together, and since Yangyang wanted to make progress so much, he had to support him no matter how much torture he endured.

……

The next day, Yang Yang did not go to the set to film.

He had greeted Li Yu and Li Muge in advance, and said that he had found an acting teacher and was giving lessons.

After practicing with his agent for a day, Yang Yang found that he couldn't do it without professional guidance.

His agent could only give a general idea of ​​what went wrong in his acting, but he didn't know how to fix those problems.

Li Yu found an assistant to go to Yang Yang's place and found out that Yang Yang did not lie and really hired a teacher to give acting lessons.

Although it feels a bit like cramming, it is better to be willing to learn than not to be willing to learn.

Everyone has times when they need to cram for an exam. Who hasn’t had the experience of playing during their free time as a child, and only starting to cram the night before an exam?
Li Yu had had such an experience before, so he was more tolerant. He granted Yang Yang a week off so that he could take a week's worth of acting lessons.

However, because Yang Yang did not come that day, some fabricated rumors were inevitable in the crew.
