China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 704: Finally Became the Master
This is the same as the previous sweet movie "The Great Wall".

A world-class team, the most recognized director in the country, partnered with Hollywood superstars, and a group of powerful domestic actors.

After losing a battle that was supposed to be a sure win, the movie dream became a recognized joke.

Once you are labeled as box office poison or the queen of bad movies in the eyes of a large number of passers-by, you are completely finished.

The commercial value in the film industry declined rapidly, and ultimately it was abandoned by investment capital in the film industry.

Even if you are as rich as Da Tiantian, it won’t help.

Every movie failed, even a blockbuster with a billion RMB investment failed, what can she do?
If you want to continue filming, just keep spending your own money.

But she is just rich, and her family doesn't print money. After losing so many times, even the most abundant funds will be squandered.

If she doesn't spend money to make movies to promote herself, then she can only work in the television industry.

"I will seriously consider your suggestions." Liu Yifei said finally.

"What's the point of your thinking? It's only valid if what you say counts." Li Yu continued to be skeptical.

"Who are you looking down on? I can also make the final decision." Liu Yifei knew that Li Yu was mocking her, so she fought back stubbornly.

"Haha, do you believe what you said?" Li Yu sneered, his laughter was full of hurt and insult.

Liu Yifei on the other side was so angry that he gritted his teeth in hatred.

Li Yu really underestimated her.

Without waiting for her follow-up response, Li Yu unilaterally ended the call, making Liu Yifei even angrier.

She felt that she really had to make her own decision this time. Otherwise, Li Yu would laugh at her for a long time. She had this premonition.

That night, Liu Yifei told her mother about the conversation she had with Li Yu.

She clearly stated that the reason why Li Yu refused to cooperate with Deshini was that Deshini was clinging to the successful experience of the cartoon and refused to give up.

The successful experience of cartoons is not applicable to live-action movies.

Besides, Deshini also wants to add some new elements to the live-action movie to attract more audiences.

This would be even more unreliable and risky.

"He advised me not to waste my energy on this film because the competition is fierce, roles are hard to come by, and there is a high chance that the film will be a bad one. That's what he told me."

Liu Yifei said to Aunt Liu.

“That’s Deshini, their team is so strong and professional, how could they be so unreliable.

This movie is based on a classic Chinese story, and the heroine has to be an actress with an oriental face, otherwise you have no chance.

In short, this is a very rare opportunity. If you miss this opportunity, it will be hard to have this store again.”

Aunt Liu said.

"Mom, you always said that before. You always said that the team was reliable, the investment was huge, the director was professional, and the actor I was partnering with was famous, so there was no way it would fail.

As a result, you also saw it. Was it reliable once? You made Li Yu laugh at me. "

Liu Yifei frowned.

Having witnessed the choices her mother had to make over the years, she had already figured out the ropes.

If her mother is optimistic about something, then there is a high probability that it is unreliable.

"How did he laugh at you?" Aunt Liu was a little angry.

"He said that if I hadn't had the national popularity I had accumulated through "Dragon Ballads" and "The Return of the Condor Heroes", I wouldn't have been able to withstand your micro-manipulation over the years.

If it was another actress, she would have been turned into a nobody by your manipulation."

Liu Yifei relayed Li Yu's words to Aunt Liu.

This knife had a critical hit of 999, which made Aunt Liu feel very cold in her heart.

She tried her best to prove that this was not the case, but she could not make excuses because none of the scripts she had chosen for Liu Yifei over the years were good.

Facts speak louder than words.

The facts are there, she is a serious drag on the agent.

"Let me be the boss this time, and we won't audition for the movie Mulan.

Li Yu's vision is well-known in the industry, and I trust his judgment.

If his judgment is really wrong, I will ask him to compensate me with a movie."

Liu Yifei said.

There is another thing that Liu Yifei did not tell Aunt Liu. If Li Yu's judgment was correct and she took on this movie, then this movie would be a lifelong shame for her.

Aunt Liu saw that Liu Yifei was very determined.

I also thought about my accurate vision over the years, which was like a wrong question filter, and I always chose the wrong answer.

So Aunt Liu was a little shaken.

After thinking for a long time, Aunt Liu finally gave in: "Okay, let's leave it to you this time. We won't participate in the audition."

In addition to Liu Yifei's firm attitude, there was another reason why Aunt Liu gave in. She heard from various sources that the competition in casting was very high.

For the role of Mulan alone, thousands of people around the world have signed up so far.

And the number of applicants is still increasing.

This is truly one in a thousand, and it is extremely difficult to be selected.

So Aunt Liu thought that even if her daughter participated, she was just trying her luck.

It would be best if she was selected, but there was no need to be discouraged if she was not. She had already prepared herself mentally for not being selected.

She couldn't guarantee that her daughter would be the final winner.

She could only say that her daughter had obvious advantages among the group of interviewees.

If her daughter was 100% sure of being selected, she would never let go of this opportunity.

No matter how much Liu Yifei objects, it will be useless. She will be very forceful in helping Liu Yifei make the decision.

Doesn't she understand her daughter's temper? As long as she acts tougher, her daughter will listen to her.

Li Yu, who had just returned to his home in the capital, had no idea about the conversation between Liu Yifei and Aunt Liu.

If he knew that Liu Yifei really made the decision, he would definitely congratulate Liu Yifei.

Because if Liu Yifei really played the role of "Mulan" as he did in his previous life, the impact on Liu Yifei's film career would be even greater than in his previous life.

Da Tiantian has invested money and is preparing to shoot a domestic version of Mulan.

Just find a reliable screenwriter to write the script, this Chinese Mulan cannot be worse than Deshini's Mulan.

So after these two Mulan movies are released, the domestic version will beat the Deshini version.

The actress who plays the Deshini version of Mulan will become a clown serving as a foil to Da Tiantian.

After many years, people will drag the corpse out and whip it.

This is also a potential risk of remaking a classic. It’s the same story, but there’s a classic version before it.

Those who remake the film later, if they don't film it well or the actors aren't good, should be prepared to be ridiculed by the public.

Two days later, the domestic premiere of "Barbie" was officially held in Beijing, and many celebrities and famous directors in the circle came to support it.

Having proven himself twice in Hollywood, Li Yu has demonstrated his talent with his works.
