China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 768 Don’t bully the middle-aged poor

"You invited Liu Yifei and Shen Teng to star in the film. Are you trying to rehash the old drama 'Dreaming of the Film Circle'?"

There are mild questions, and there will definitely be sharp questions.

Liu Yifei and Shen Teng are comedy films with a similar style to "Dreaming of the Movie Circle". When these elements are combined, it is easy to make people think of rehashing old stuff.

There are too many people in the circle who like to rehash old stuff.

If it were someone like Wang Jing who is only interested in making money and has no moral integrity, he would have been the one to shoot "Dreaming in the Film Circle".

He can immediately organize "Dream Chasing Music Circle", "Dream Chasing TV Circle" and "Dream Chasing xx Circle".

Then, after more than ten years, another film "Chasing the Film Circle Again" came out to play with emotions and attract old fans.

“It’s definitely not a rehash, the style is just a little similar, the content of the film is completely different, and the plot is unrelated.

The reason we invited them both was just to make the old fans who like "Dreaming in the Movie Circle" and the partnership of Xia Luo and Qiu Ya happy.

I believe that audience must hope that the two of them will perform a comedy together again."

Li Yu dealt with the reporter's questions.

When asking questions to Li Yu, the reporters were relatively restrained.

After all, there was a precedent in which Li Yu asked security guards to carry reporters out, and it happened abroad.

At that time, it was Li Yu's first time to make a movie in Hollywood. On the day when "Aquaman" started shooting, foreign reporters ran to the scene and spoke in a sarcastic manner.

Then Li Yu called the security personnel to throw the boy out.

He is a director, not a star, so he is not afraid of these things.

If a star dares to ask the security guard to throw the reporter out, he will definitely be collectively condemned by the media, and will be labeled as being a big shot, rude and uncultured to the reporter.

If not handled properly, the star’s personal reputation will be ruined.

As a director, Li Yu is not afraid of these things.

As long as the movies he makes are box office hits, what impact can the media's barking have on him?

As long as the movies he makes are box office hits, investors will continue to invest in him and he will continue to make movies.

Not to mention throwing the reporter out, even if Li Yu beat up the reporter it wouldn't affect his career.

So except for some reporters from Hong Kong and Taiwan, reporters from the mainland generally don't dare to ask too tricky questions in front of Li Yu.

Not to mention them, even Zhuo Wei, the number one paparazzi in mainland China, didn't dare to reveal any information about Li Yu.

But there is nothing explosive to reveal about Li Yu.

Guiding female stars to improve themselves? What's there to expose?

Aren’t all directors in the industry like this? Li Yu is trying to emulate his predecessors.

"You are a skit actor, why do you want to make a movie?

I heard that you couldn't make it in the film industry back then, so you went back to doing sketches.

Aren’t you afraid that you might not be able to make it in the film industry again in the future?”

"So many years have passed. Miss Liu Yifei, can you still perform Qiu Ya's stunning performance? From that time on, your acting skills reached their peak and have been on a downward slope since then. This time, are you confident in your acting skills?"

Both Liu Yifei and Shen Teng heard a lot of unfriendly questions.

If they didn't have good mental qualities, they would have wanted to hit people.

Haven't these stupid reporters heard the saying, "Thirty years in the east, thirty years in the west. Don't despise the young because they are poor."

No, it should be "Don't bully the poor middle-aged people."

Liu Yifei is also approaching his thirties.

And she is more open-minded about age.

Some female celebrities are in their thirties or forties. When children call them auntie, they don’t like it and correct the children to call them sister.

This behavior is somewhat self-deceptive.

When you are in your thirties or forties, aren’t you an older sister in front of kids?
Liu Yifei is a rare exception among female stars in this regard. When a child calls her sister, she corrects the child and tells him to call her aunt.

This is still quite appealing.

After the press conference, Liu Yifei and Shen Teng were both furious.

"Don't look down on middle-aged people who are poor. I failed before and couldn't make it anymore, so I went back to performing skits. This time I will learn from my failure." Shen Teng said angrily.

"That's right. I've made so many bad movies in a row. Shouldn't I learn from my experience and become smarter? They look down on people too much." Liu Yifei was filled with indignation.

“Don’t despise the poor young, don’t despise the poor middle-aged, don’t despise the poor old are just words to comfort yourself.

We have to work hard to act well, otherwise the final ending will be the death is great and the tears of the grave robbers. "

Li Yu complained.

Xiao Yan said this line because he is the protagonist and he has a cheat.

It would be even more embarrassing for a truly useless person to shout this line.

I'm already being laughed at for being useless, and after I finish speaking, people will laugh at me again for being a braggart.

"Why didn't you say a few words for us just now? If you had helped us out, those reporters wouldn't have dared to be so arrogant." Liu Yifei was very distressed.

In the past, whenever she faced a situation like the one just now, Li Yu would always help her out.

Just like the last Mulan incident, a reporter questioned whether she couldn't compete with the Godfather's new favorite for the role, so she had to settle for the second best and chose to star in the pirated Mulan.

At that time, Li Yu praised her in front of the reporters.

"I did it on purpose, so that you would know shame and then be brave. One of you couldn't make it in the film industry anymore and went back to acting in sketches, while the other one repeatedly failed in the film industry and survived to this day relying on his blood.

It's time for you to work hard and play your role to the best of your ability.

Believe me, the movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City" will definitely be worthy of your efforts."

Li Yu explained.

Of course Shen Teng and Liu Yifei would not doubt Li Yu's words.

Li Yu said that the movie is reliable, so the movie must be reliable.

They can't wait to make and release the movie tomorrow so that people can see that they can also make a good movie.

"By the way, which one will be released first, "Mulan" or "The Richest Man in Xihong City"? " Liu Yifei asked again.

“Of course it’s The Richest Man in Xihong City. Xia Zhu is not as stunning as Hua Mulan.

The protagonist of the movie "The Richest Man in Xihong City" is Wang Duoyu.

This is a comedy film with no special effects, simple scenes, fast shooting and fast post-production.

"The Richest Man in Xihong City" will definitely be ahead of "Mulan".

Even if "Mulan" can be released earlier, we have to hold on.

With Hua Mulan in the front, people will feel that your Xia Zhu has regressed again.

Only when Xia Zhu comes first and Hua Mulan comes later, people will think you have made progress. "

Li Yu replied.

An eight-point character and a six-point character.

A character with an eight-point score would definitely have a better finale effect.

Especially for someone like Liu Yifei who is not doing well in the film industry.

After watching her performance as Xia Zhu, people may feel that it is not very outstanding, but it is much better than her previous works like "The Four", okay?
When Xia Zhu connects with Hua Mulan, people will exclaim, Wow! You guys connected really well.

Ahem...that's a mix-up. These are Dean Chen's lines.

After the press conference, those voices of praise were finally suppressed.

Li Yu’s goal was achieved. Now everything was ready except for the filming to start.
