China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 709 Being a father is difficult

Li Yu immediately said, "Director Chen, you are too harsh. There is nothing worth learning from me."

It doesn’t matter who you say you learned it from, just say you learned it from him. He doesn’t want to ruin his reputation.

"Brother Li, you are too modest. How could there not be something worth learning from you? Just like my dad said, if I could only learn half of what you have learned." Ase's expression was very sincere and he was serious.

If he really had half of Li Yu's ability, he would not be an actor at all. He would have been a director with his father long ago.

The son of a famous director, his starting point is not ordinary, who would be an actor if he had the ability? He still took the lowest level of fresh meat route among actors.

A father is a big director, and a son has no acting skills. His father promotes him, and even his father will be criticized.

Therefore, there is no way for Ase to become a fresh-faced actor.

It’s just like how Wu Gang in his previous life promoted his own son in “Kuang Hurricane”.

My son has no other abilities and cannot work in any other industry, so he might as well join the circle and become an actor. He will be scolded, but he can earn much more than in other industries.

So even though he knew he would be scolded, he still boasted about how hard his son worked to act in "Kuaisan". To what extent did he work?

There are scenes involving riding motorcycles in "The Drive", so his son took a special motorcycle license exam.

He can even brag about his motorcycle license, which shows that even fathers know that their sons have nothing special to brag about.

How difficult is it to get a motorcycle license? Just go to a small county town, spend some money, and you can get the license. That's the level and value of it.

This is similar to Chen Kaige's repeated praise of Ase for his handsome looks and good figure.

I can only say that being a father is difficult. If only the son had a little bit of potential, the father would not brag about his achievements with his eyes open.

"How do you feel after performing "Light Me Up, Warm You"? " Li Yu naturally changed the subject.

"It feels great. This drama has given me confidence in my future career." Ase's eyes were filled with a beautiful vision for the future.

His first work in life gave him a taste of what it was like to be a little red.

With the strong support of his parents, he feels that he has the advantage, and he will definitely be one of the brightest stars in East Asia in the future.

Looking at Ase's confident look, Li Yu smiled without saying anything.

He didn't want to undermine Ase's confidence.

Cherish the present, my kid. If nothing unexpected happens, "Light Me Up, Warm You" will be the pinnacle of your acting career.

"If Director Li has time, he could tailor a script specifically for us Ase. As we all know, Director Li is the best at tailoring roles for people." Chen Hong said with a smile.

The goblin little bride Liu Shishi, Professor Qiao who can freeze time, Wan Qianqian who combines goddess and goddess spirit, and the sweet Si Teng, these are Li Yu's battle records and can be checked.

Chen Hong certainly hopes that Li Yu can tailor a classic role for her son that would be popular for many years after being played once.

Li Yu's answer was definitely next time: "I will definitely do it next time if there is a chance. Don't think that I played the flute with ease on the stage just now. In fact, I was very busy.

This time I came back to China, I couldn't stay too long and had to leave. Even during the time I stayed in China, I couldn't be idle. I had to promote "Barbie", supervise the post-production of "Thief", and supervise "Mulan" and "Dream of Red Mansions".

In a short period of time, I really can’t spare the time to write a new script.”

Li Yu described himself as extremely busy and found a good reason to politely decline Chen Hong's request.

In fact, he is definitely not as busy as he says. For example, he doesn’t need to worry about anything on “Dream of Red Mansions”. Li Muge is already a very mature and professional director.

Ancient costume dramas are Li Muge's comfort zone.

For ancient idol dramas, making the characters look good is half the battle. As long as the script is not bad, with Li Muge's ability, it will be difficult to fail.

Asai was a little disappointed. He had hoped that Li Yu could tailor a script for him and then continue to take off.

Chen Hong's reaction speed was faster than Asai's. She continued to ask: "What is "Dream of Hualu"? A movie or a TV series?"

"In the TV series, Liu Yifei is the leading female character." Li Yu did not hide it.

Chen Hong immediately became interested and asked, "Are you short of a leading male role? If so, you can see if our Asai Fu meets the requirements."

Asai didn't say anything, but his eyes were shining as he stood behind Chen Hong.

That’s the Fairy Sister. She’s returning to the TV industry after many years, and she’s bound to be a hit.

If he could play the leading male role, he would become really famous.

"Uh... it seems the leading male role has been decided. Director Mu told me last time that it seems to be Chen Xiao. Director Mu is usually in charge of our company's TV drama projects, and I don't really care about it." Li Yu pushed Director Mu out to take the blame.

Director Mu, who was not far away, suddenly sneezed and felt that someone was saying bad things about him behind his back.

Chen Hong and Ase showed little interest after hearing this. Without the leading male role, the show no longer had much appeal to them.

No matter how good the second male lead is, he is still a supporting role.

He is the son of the great director Chen. His debut film achieved some success and he became a bit famous. He is currently on the rise in his career. How could he go and play a supporting role for others?
Who wants to be a supporting role? Who doesn't want to be the protagonist? There is no other way to be a supporting role.

They have plenty of ways. With Chen Kaige's status and connections in the circle, it is very easy for him to organize a plan, find a director and raise some investment to let their son play the leading male role.

What's more, their son's first debut film was a modest success, so it would be easier for them to organize a group to support their son than others think.

"Director Li, I'm a little envious of you. I didn't expect you to be so successful in Hollywood." Chen Kaige praised.

The success of "Aquaman" can be said to be due to Li Yu's taking advantage of the big IP of DC Comics.

Superhero movies are already very popular, so it’s no big deal if they’re successful.

Although "Barbie" is also a big IP, this IP has never been made into a live-action movie.

Li Yu is a pioneer and a successful pioneer, which is amazing.

Anyway, Chen Kaige was completely convinced.

When he made "The Promise" that year, he felt so awesome.

However, even at his most arrogant, he did not dare to say that he could make it into Hollywood and win a global box office of 1 billion US dollars.

"Director Chen, you don't need to envy me. In fact, you can be the same as me. It's just that your desire to express yourself is too strong, and many times you can't control your desire to express yourself.

If you can control yourself, believe me, if you can make the movie Aquaman, you can do it no worse than me. "

Li Yu praised him politely.

This is a fact. In fact, in the movie "Aquaman", director Li Yu did not have much room to play.

When he first came to Hollywood to make a movie, his control and autonomy were far less than they are now, and he was a bit like a tool director.

As a director, he is responsible for achieving whatever effect others want.

Let Chen Kaige be the tool, Chen Kaige will not be worse than him.
