China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 737: Know how to reciprocate

"Do you want me to be scolded to death by everyone?" Liu Yifei didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"You speak as if you have been scolded less in recent years. Believe me. The more you are scolded now, the more benefits you will receive when the situation turns around in the future.

Remember during the Nirvana in Fire period, when the entire internet was obsessed with the show and owed Huang Xiaoming an apology?

The fact that this incident was so popular has a lot to do with Huang Xiaoming’s poor performance in The Return of the Condor Heroes and Nirvana in Fire in the early stages.”

Li Yu cited Huang Xiaoming’s experience as an example.

Liu Yifei certainly knew about Huang Xiaoming.

Because Huang Xiaoming's performance in "The Return of the Condor Heroes" was very bad.

His performance as Yang Guo eighteen years later was pretty good, definitely not bad.

But the young Yang Guo eighteen years ago was so eye-catching that the audience didn’t need to add oil when cooking for the next three days after watching it.

If you add even a drop of it, it will feel so greasy that it will be difficult to swallow.

This drama completely labeled Huang Xiaoming as greasy.

When people learned that Huang Xiaoming was the lead actor in "Nirvana in Fire", they expressed their pessimism, believing that Huang Xiaoming would become too popular again.

Sure enough, after the broadcast of "Nirvana in Fire", people found that Huang Xiaoming's performance was mediocre and was crushed by the acting of Mei Changsu played by Hu Ge.

So the whole network was mocking Huang Xiaoming for being too bad. As a senior, he was actually beaten by a junior in acting.

Unexpectedly, in the later period of "Nirvana in Fire", Huang Xiaoming suddenly made a comeback.

It was at this time that people realized that Huang Xiaoming was mediocre in the early days and was always crushed by Mei Changsu because he was pretending to be kind and weak.

After the reversal, Huang Xiaoming's acting skills began to soar, and he hung up and beat Hu Ge's Mei Changsu.

Mei Changsu became a supporting role, while Huang Xiaoming became the leading actor who benefited the most.

After people realized that they had misunderstood Huang Xiaoming, they all apologized to him.

Huang Xiaoming reached his most glorious moment in the television industry since his debut, and even his reputation began to reverse.

It’s a pity that Huang Xiaoming can’t change his habit of taking on a few roles as a domineering CEO to reward himself after starring in a good drama.

If he can change this bad habit and only act in quality films, his acting career will develop better.

But if he could change this habit, he would not be Huang Xiaoming anymore, and he would earn much less money.

He is very popular, and a big part of the reason is that when directors and bigwigs ask him for help, he will go if he can.

He has high business sense, can get along well with most people in the circle, and has a good mind for investment, so he can become one of the richest stars.

It is possible that his purpose of entering the industry is to make money, and he knows that acting in too many bad dramas will damage his reputation.

But you can make more money by making friends with the big guys.

It’s nothing. Everyone has their own aspirations. Making money is not shameful.

Li Yu didn't dare to say that he made movies and directed films for the sake of art or to contribute to Chinese films.

His original intention was also to make money.

If you can't make money and can't even support yourself, what's the point of talking about art? You can't generate electricity for love, right? It's unrealistic.

After careful consideration, Liu Yifei decided that he should trust Li Yu.

Li Yu had never cheated her.

In the previous "Dreaming in the Film Circle", Qiuya was a green tea bitch.

The Wang Yuyan and Xiaolongnu she played in the past were both ethereal and pure goddesses who were detached from the world and belonged to the category of white moonlight.

Li Yu asked her to break through herself and play a role that is completely different from her previous ones. The contrast is big enough and it is definitely eye-catching.

At that time, she believed Li Yu and took a gamble, and then she reached the peak of her career in the film industry.

Since she believed that Li Yu could reach the pinnacle of his career, she would trust Li Yu again this time.

"Okay, I'll follow your instructions."...

On the day of the premiere of "Under the Golden Age", Li Yu, Cao Qing and Liu Yifei attended as a group.

Although Chen Kaige did not invite Cao Qing and Liu Yifei in advance.

However, for an event like the premiere that builds momentum for a movie, Chen Kaige wishes all the famous people in the entertainment industry would come.

This is a way of showing support and giving him face.

Cao Qing, the director of "Mojin: The Last Dragon", attended the premiere of "Under the Golden Era".

Liu Yifei attended the premiere of "Under the Prosperous Age".

All of these will attract the attention of the media and a large number of netizens. These are all hot topics and have positive significance for the movie.

So, when uninvited celebrities come to the scene, the film director will only feel surprised and think that the other party is giving him face.

On the contrary, if the invited celebrity does not show up and cancels his/her appointment, the film director will be unhappy.

The most classic example is the feud between Feng Xiaogang and Stephen Chow.

At the beginning, Little Cannon was actually very polite to Stephen Chow.

When Stephen Chow was going to shoot "Kung Fu", he called Feng Xiaogang, who immediately made a cameo appearance as the boss of the Crocodile Gang.

Feng Xiaogang plays this role so well that the audience is attracted to watch the movie from the very beginning.

A few years later, when Stephen Chow's comic version of "CJ7" premiered, he invited Feng Xiaogang to help promote it.

Feng Xiaogang was very considerate and postponed the premiere of "Earthquake" to support Stephen Chow's "CJ7".

Of course, it is not known whether Feng Xiaogang postponed the premiere of "Earthquake" to support Stephen Chow or for other reasons.

Anyway, Feng Xiaogang went there that day and gave face to Stephen Chow.

When it came time for the premiere of "Aftershock", Feng Xiaogang invited Stephen Chow to support him, but Stephen Chow said he couldn't go because of something else.

This incident caused Feng Xiaogang and Stephen Chow to become enemies, and Feng Xiaogang also scolded Stephen Chow for many years.

Although Feng Xiaogang may not be a good person, what Stephen Chow did in this matter was indeed not fair.

As a person, you should know how to reciprocate.

Or you should just not invite people to support you.

You invited someone, and they went. Then the next time they invited you, you said you couldn't come. What's wrong with that? Anyone would be unhappy if they encountered this kind of thing, but they wouldn't necessarily criticize it in public like Feng Xiaogang did.

If Li Yu encountered such a thing, he would not scold the person, he would just block that person directly and try not to have any contact with him in the future.

Because of this, Li Yu gives face to those who give him face.

People like Chen Kaige, the national master, all gave face to Li Yu's movie premieres. They would come if they were free, and would call Li Yu to explain why they couldn't come if they were not free.

So when they need Li Yu's help, Li Yu will help if he can.

Sometimes Li Yu was filming on the set, and even if he received an invitation, he would leave for a few days and then go back after helping out on stage.

Therefore, Li Yu has a very good reputation in the industry.

Of course, except for the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles, Li Yu’s reputation in these two circles is very bad.

Because Li Yu was the first mainland director to propose ending the superior treatment of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists when filming in the mainland.

Destroying someone's wealth is like killing one's parents.

Although the reduction in treatment of Hong Kong and Taiwan artists is an inevitable result of the development of the times, Li Yu said these words and put them into practice when Hong Kong and Taiwan artists were superior to those from the mainland.

Li Yu actually did this when he was casting for a movie, so people in the Hong Kong and Taiwan circles naturally resented him.

Especially those who could make money easily in the mainland before but can't now, they hate Li Yu even more.

You poor bastard from mainland China have made us lose all our money. If beating people was not illegal, we would all want to beat you to death.
