China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 710 You didn’t say that before
Although Li Yu's words were very polite and gave Chen Kaige a lot of face, he was still a little dissatisfied.

What he was not satisfied with was that Li Yu said his desire to express himself was too strong, and that if he could restrain his desire to express himself, the movies he made would be awesome.

When he was young, he was an artistic youth. Even though he is older now, his conceited nature as an artistic youth has not changed.

Once his inspiration came, it gushed out like a broken faucet and he couldn't control it at all.

And now this feeling is getting stronger and stronger, because Li Yu is behind several of his recent films.

Li Yu's attitude was very tough. He didn't allow him to change the script, which eliminated the possibility that he would change the script directly when inspiration came to him on the set.

However, Li Yu's suppression of him would not change his nature of strong desire for expression and conceitedness in his artistic old age.

This thing is a bit like a spring. The heavier it is pressed, the stronger the force will be when it bounces back.

Chen Kaige felt extremely uncomfortable as several of his films had been suppressed by Li Yu.

Next time, he plans to break away from Li Yu and return to his previous path to make a movie.

He wants to put all the inspiration and desire to express himself that he has been holding back for several years into this new movie.

So this time Chen Kaige no longer mentioned that he wanted to cooperate with Li Yu.

The sky cleared up and the rain stopped, and he felt like he was doing well again.

When people reach the peak, it is easy for them to become complacent, and once they become complacent, problems are likely to arise.

Especially an artistic old man like him who likes to use his imagination to his advantage.

Chen Kaige and Li Yu chatted for a while about the movie "Under the Golden Era", saying that he did a great job shooting this movie.

The only regret was that Li Yu did not allow him to change the script. During the filming process, many of his brilliant ideas could not be implemented.

He meant the same thing both implicitly and implicitly.

If he could make those amazing ideas come true, the movie would definitely reach new heights.

Li Yu said a few words to him and sent him away.

Li Yu is a person who is a little bit arrogant and very conceited. If he doesn't contradict you, he won't listen and it might make everyone unhappy.

After Chen Kaige left, Li Yu looked at his back and shook his head.

He had a feeling that Chen Kaige's next movie would be a big flop.

The severity of the failure may be comparable to that of "The Promise".

Because this person became arrogant again and was suppressed for several years.

It is like an old lady at the village head who is particularly talkative and loves gossip suddenly becomes mute and cannot speak for several years. How depressed and uncomfortable she must feel.

Suddenly one day, the aunt's voice recovered.

The ending is predictable.

The aunt would definitely rush to the village entrance the next day after her voice recovered, and would have prepared a small stool with melon seeds at five o'clock in the morning. She would have to fight for a month before she could give up.

During this month, no dog passing by the village could escape her mouth. She would say that stupid dog had ridden on a Labrador from the next village and had given birth to a litter of half-foreign and half-Chinese puppies...

After Li Yu exchanged greetings with some people, Liu Yifei finally showed up.

"What did you talk about with Director Chen and his family just now? You talked for so long." Liu Yifei asked curiously.

"The old couple wanted me to tailor a script for their son. From what they said, we can exchange resources. If Chen Kaige makes a movie in the future, I will introduce some actors to him, and he will give me face." Li Yu replied. "Then did you agree? This exchange condition sounds very tempting." Liu Yifei asked with concern.

That was Chen Kaige's movie. Even when Chen Kaige's movies kept failing in the past few years, his movies were still very attractive to actors in the circle.

What's more, the movies made by Chen Kaige in recent years are all very good.

Chen Kaige’s film resources are even more sought-after.

Li Yu glanced at Liu Yifei, guessed what she was thinking, and said, "I just said it directly, I don't have time to write a new script. She asked me if there was a vacancy for the male lead in Dream of Splendor, and I told her directly that the male lead had been decided."

"Why? Why do I feel like you are deliberately rejecting them? Isn't it good to exchange resources?" Liu Yifei was very confused.

"Okay? I'm afraid you have some wishful thinking in your mind. You want me to exchange resources with them, and then next time Chen Kaige shoots a new movie, I will introduce you to him." Li Yu directly exposed her inner thoughts.

Liu Yifei did not deny that she did have this thought.

Her temporary return to the television industry does not mean that she will completely give up the film industry.

If there is a suitable opportunity, she will continue to make movies.

"I advise you to give up this idea. If I really replace the leading male role of Chen Xiao in Dream of Red Mansions with Chen Kaige's son, you will collapse.

Your acting skills are already bad enough. Let’s put it this way, compared to him, your acting skills are good enough to win the Hundred Flowers Award for Best Actress. It’s that exaggerated.

Also, Chen Kaige is a little bit arrogant. When he won the Palme d'Or, he became so arrogant that he was like a wild horse that had broken free from its reins. He did whatever he wanted and no one could restrain him anymore.

Now, after a few years of rising popularity, he is starting to get a little cocky again. If "The Golden Age" is a success after its release, he might get even cocky.

If he becomes too arrogant, he may lose his position as the top director in the country to the national master. I personally think that his next new movie will be very risky.

Either you become a super god or a super ghost. The probability of becoming a super ghost is countless times greater than that of becoming a super god. "

Li Yu said very seriously.

Chen Kaige has made it very clear just now that he will definitely devote a lot of effort to his next movie, and he wants to put all his thoughts and ideas in recent years into this movie.

If you operate well, you will become a god; if you operate poorly, you will fail.

Based on Li Yu's understanding of Chen Kaige, he thinks the probability of failure is very high.

"It shouldn't be as exaggerated as you say, right? Director Chen fell many years ago. Can a person fall in the same posture twice?" Liu Yifei couldn't believe it.

"It's indeed a bit exaggerated, but there is also a famous saying to describe this situation: the only lesson mankind can learn from history is that people never learn lessons." Li Yu quoted a very famous saying.

"..."

Liu Yifei was speechless. Then, she asked, "You just said on stage that your company is also planning to make a Mulan movie. Would you consider me?"

"You?" Li Yu was in a dilemma.

Da Tiantian said that she was going to play Mulan, and Liu Yifei also wanted to, so would they probably start fighting?

"I can't make the decision on this matter, because Da Tiantian brought money into the crew, and you know how powerful people who bring money into the crew are. I can help you ask her and try to convince her. She has acted in so many good movies, and this one won't make a difference. As for whether I can convince her, I won't make any guarantees." Li Yu replied.

"I hate people who bring money into the team the most. It's totally unfair." Liu Yifei said gritting his teeth.

"That's not what you said when you captured Xiao Long Nu," Li Yu said jokingly.
