China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 682 The ability to praise people is obtained again
Having found a reason to convince himself, the boyfriend continued to watch "Hotel Del Luna" with Wei Lingxue.

This is how life is. When you are in pain, even the passage of time will slow down.

When you are happy, time passes quickly.

Often it's over before you even have time to react.

Look, the boyfriend was so immersed in it that in a short while, he and his girlfriend finished watching the first few episodes.

After seeing the preview for tomorrow's show, he felt a little unsatisfied.

This is his first time watching an idol drama, and he thinks it’s actually pretty good?
At this moment, he could understand a little bit why girls like to watch idol dramas.

There are handsome men and beautiful women, the pictures are nice and the plot is pretty good. Although many parts of the film do not stand up to scrutiny, as long as you don't delve into it too deeply, it is completely acceptable as a spice of life.

My boyfriend was a little confused: "Are all the domestic idol dramas so good now?"

Wei Lingxue replied, "No, it's just that this idol drama is very strong. Most of them are still pretty bad. But it's true that it was stronger before. The pinnacle of domestic idol dramas was directed by Li Yu. He doesn't even shoot idol dramas now, which is really a pity."

For those who love watching idol dramas, they would indeed think so.

Li Yu is a master of idol dramas. It is a pity that the idol drama track has lost Li Yu.

But my boyfriend doesn’t think so. He thinks it’s nice to watch idol dramas occasionally for fun.

Li Yu is so famous and has achieved such great success. If he still shoots idol dramas, then there is only one possibility: Li Yu can no longer make it and is forced to shoot idol dramas to support his family.

So he commented: "Forget it, Director Li should continue to make movies, and make good movies. It would be a real tragedy if such a great director like Director Li were reduced to making idol dramas to make a living."

Wei Lingxue was not convinced: "What's wrong with idol dramas? Idol dramas are also works of art."

"It's no use telling me. You have to go and tell the judges of those world-class awards. You have to convince them to give awards to idol dramas. Otherwise, great directors won't make idol dramas. Whether you admit it or not, idol dramas are at the bottom of the contempt chain."

My boyfriend is telling the truth.

Wei Lingxue: “…”

……

Wei Lingxue and her boyfriend are just two ordinary people among the huge audience.

Like them, many people were attracted by the decent script, excellent production, and good looks of the male and female protagonists of "Hotel Del Luna".

"Excuse me, is this a drama for Miss Jing's fans? She keeps changing her clothes, and each one is very pretty. At first, I thought it was an advertisement for a clothing company, trying to attract poor viewers like me to place orders.

I took screenshots and searched for those clothes, and then I realized that I was overthinking. I couldn’t afford most of the clothes Miss Jing wore in the drama. Poverty made me shed tears of envy. "

"It's been a long time since I've come across a drama that's so captivating from the first episode. The pace is fast and it's better than I thought it would be. The first episode tells the story that other idol dramas would take several episodes to tell."

"I want to ask, did you get the scripts for Yang Yang and Jing Tian wrong? Shouldn't it be about a domineering CEO and his little wife? How did it get reversed to Tian Gang, where it became a domineering female CEO playing a development game? I can only say that the screenwriter knows how to play."

"As a hired hand, I am very pleased. Yangyang's vision in choosing scripts has finally improved. What kind of crap has he accepted in recent years?"

"How come Yang Yang's acting skills have actually improved? We can look forward to Director Li's "Thief".

I was afraid that the addition of young actors would ruin the movie, but now it seems that this worry is unnecessary. Director Li’s ability to train actors is trustworthy.”

Da Tiantian benefited the most from this drama.

However, her peak was higher than Yang Yang's. She has acted in commercial blockbusters, and now acting in this kind of idol drama is a step backward.

So on the surface, the benefits she gained were not as obvious as Yang Yang's.

Yang Yang didn’t have many good works before, and "Hotel Del Luna" is really the best work in his career.

It can also be summarized as, with Da Tiantian's ability, she has little room for improvement. Yangyang is different, he has not yet reached the peak, so he has a lot of room for improvement.

Yang Yang's popularity soared as soon as "Hotel Del Luna" was broadcast.

It is questionable whether he is the most popular young actor.

However, during the period when "Hotel Del Luna" was on the air, his popularity was the highest among all the young actors in the country, there is no doubt about that.

This is the power of a hit drama.

A hit drama can push an unknown little actor into the ranks of first-tier stars.

Of course, a hit drama can make an already popular star even more popular.

Yang Yang and his agent were very happy to see the results of "Hotel Del Luna" after it was broadcast.

"Director Li really didn't fool me. Everyone praised me for having a better eye for choosing scripts." Yang Yang really didn't deserve it.

He has a great vision, and the reason why he took this script is very simple.

This script is written by Li Yu, and I heard that Li Yu will serve as the producer.

From the very beginning, he was aiming to establish a good relationship with Li Yu and seek further development.

At that time, he and the people in his team had no idea whether the script was good or bad.

They are just superstitious and think that scripts written by Li Yu must be good scripts.

In other words, even if the script is similar to the movie version of Eternal Love, as long as Li Yu's name is listed in the screenwriter column, they will still accept it.

Fortunately, they made the right bet and Hotel Del Luna became a real hit.

“Director Li is really good at promoting people. He didn’t even do anything himself, but he successfully changed everyone’s old impression of the comparison.

In the past, everyone thought your acting was terrible, but now everyone has changed their mind.

After Thief is released, people may change their mind about you.

Then maybe people will think you have some acting skills, just not too much.”

The broker is optimistic about the future.

The word "having acting skills" was totally unworthy of mentioning 20 or 30 years ago.

Because acting skills are something an actor must have.

It’s different now, times have changed, there are too many traffic stars who have no acting skills.

As long as you have acting skills, you can stand out among all the popular stars.

So many veteran actors are quite dissatisfied, such as Feng Lei, who played the arrogant Mr. Zhao in "In the Name".

He once complained that when he was young, he looked like a pretty boy, and his looks were no less than those popular young actors nowadays, but pretty boys were not popular at that time.

At that time, "creamy boy" was an insulting word. Tang Guoqiang worked hard for many years and was not able to get rid of the title until he finished filming "Three Kingdoms".

When Feng Lei reached middle age, his appearance began to decline. As a result, middle-aged talented actors were no longer popular, and pretty boys became popular.

He missed both crises. Who can he turn to for justice?
In many cases, reality is indeed more illogical than fiction.
