China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 771 They Really Have a Cow

In the picture displayed on the monitor, Xu Dongdong appeared in red.

As the sister-in-law recognized by netizens, she must be rich and generous.

Chang Yuan's acting is good.

After all, he started out as a performer in dramas and sketches.

The length of a skit show on TV is about ten minutes, which has been cut.

When performing in various cities, a skit usually lasts longer.

Once on stage, you have to perform a skit in its entirety.

Even if something goes wrong in the middle, such as forgetting the words or making mistakes, you have to find a way to make it right.

Honest audiences will not give NG a chance to do it again like the director does. They will just hold up their tickets and shout loudly, "Are you worthy of us?" Geneva, give us your money back!
After Xu Dongdong's enchanting appearance, Chang Yuan remained calm.

But his eyes betrayed him, he glanced downward, and he acted this small detail very well.

Xu Dongdong fell to the ground as he rolled over the table.

Chang Yuan began to speak seriously: "Girl, stop making trouble. Just tell me why you two are looking for me... I'm sorry, the education I received since childhood does not support me to do this kind of thing. You have chosen the wrong person."

Chang Yuan's expression was righteous, as if he was a tough guy who would not be bribed and could resist temptation.

"Oh my god! Where did this tough guy come from?"

In this scene, Li Yu added a line to the supporting role.

Chang Yuan's expression was still full of righteousness, like a true gentleman.

Afterwards, the tablecloth was pulled back, revealing the banknotes hidden under the glass.

"You're so good at judging people! Hahahaha..." Chang Yuan looked left and right, took a deep breath, and then began to wash his face.

The performance of the sketch actors can definitely make people laugh.

From this point of view, Chang Yuan's performance just now was very successful.

The surrounding staff and actors all laughed out loud.

However, they only dared to laugh after Li Yu announced that this rule had been passed.

This is not a skit show, Chang Yuan is not performing a skit, and they are not the audience. Everyone understands this.

Everyone has been professionally trained and will only laugh when they should.

"Chang Yuan, your future may be determined." Shen Teng said with a little envy.

"Brother Teng, why don't you tell the director and I'll switch with you." Chang Yuan asked in a mean way.

Shen Teng quickly shook his head.

Although he was envious, he would definitely not be willing to exchange with Chang Yuan.

Because acting in this kind of drama is not presentable, the label of vulgarity cannot be shaken off.

However, for most young actors, it is better to have a final role than to have no roles to play.

If it weren't for playing roles like sissy and Liu Jiannan, Chang Yuan would never have become famous in movies.

You have to become famous first before you can consider other things.

Chang Yuan had no choice.

"It's okay. You have talent in this area, so just specialize in one thing. The Chinese film industry is so big, and there are countless effeminate and wretched men every year, which is enough for you to make a living." Li Yu said seriously.

He is telling the truth. What's wrong with sissies and wretched men? There are many people in the industry who are doing well in their niche markets.

For example, Wang Yaoqing is the designated second male lead in urban romance dramas. He has never played a poor person in his more than 20 years of debut.

In those urban dramas, as soon as he appears, the audience knows who the richest man in the whole drama is.

He rarely plays the leading role, but he keeps getting offers for supporting roles, and he still counts money until his hands cramp. As long as you look at it in a positive way, you can still enjoy a good life even if you specialize in one track.

If someone like Ling Xiaosu specialized in playing the scumbag in urban dramas, no one would be able to compete with him.

Unfortunately, many actors are afraid of being stereotyped and keep trying different types of roles.

Then if the transformation fails, it will become outdated, so it is better not to transform.

"Director, for a moment I couldn't tell whether you were praising me or criticizing me." Chang Yuan didn't know whether to laugh or cry.

"I'm not insulting you." Li Yu replied seriously.

Just as Li Yu expected, Chang Yuan's classic scenes were arranged to be filmed first, and the crew was filled with a happy atmosphere.

Just teasing Chang Yuan and Xu Dongdong gave the actors something in common to talk about.

For Li Yu, who is used to shooting difficult blockbusters, a movie like "The Richest Man in Xihong City" which does not have too many complicated scenes is easy to shoot.

Many times, he just lay on the recliner, not even looking at the monitor, and let Cao Qing direct the show.

Later, the director column of this movie will say "co-directed by Li Yu and Cao Qing".

Half a month after the filming started, the headquarters of Hualiu Company and the Dream Association called Li Yu.

The Dream Association is the film association that Li Yu had previously established together with a number of domestic big directors such as Chen Kaige, with the aim of supporting new screenwriters and new directors in the industry.

This is very similar to Andy Lau's Asian Rising Star Director Project, but on a larger scale.

At that time, Andy Lau's Asian Rising Star Director Project had an investment of 25 million Hong Kong dollars, all of which was funded by him alone to support six new directors.

The most famous of these is Ning Hao's "Crazy Stone".

At that time, Andy Lau worked hard for "Crazy Stone". The movie was so successful at the box office at that time, and Andy Lau made a great contribution.

In particular, his fame brought considerable attention to this film by a new director, indirectly saving a lot of marketing costs.

It can only be said that there is a reason why Andy Lau has a good reputation in the circle.

He has indeed done a lot of things that contribute to the industry.

The company and the Dream Association's leaders called Li Yu at the same time because the first film supported by the Dream Association was about to be released.

This movie is "I Am Not a God of Medicine", directed by Wen Muye, produced by Ning Hao and Xu Zheng, and starring Xu Zheng, Zhou Jiaqian, Wang Chuanjun, Tan Zhuo, Zhang Yu and others.

The screenwriter of "Dying to Survive" Han Jiayi is even more amazing. Let's put it this way, "Dying to Survive" is her debut work in her screenwriting career.

She is also a master's graduate from the Directing Department of Beijing Film Academy in 2011.

The reason why she is so successful, besides her own talent, is also related to her family.

Her father is the famous Mr. Han.

Most screenwriters don't have the courage and ability to create a whole movie called "Dying to Survive" right from the start.

The most important thing is that it can pass the review after it is completed, which is the most amazing thing.

However, the road to the creation of the movie "Dying to Survive" was quite bumpy.

Being able to pass the review is one thing, but whether you can attract investment after passing the review is another.

Just like Li Yu’s Dream Association, he was able to bring in a number of big directors such as Chen Kaige and other national masters to support him and give verbal support.

If Li Yu asked them to pay real money to support disadvantaged screenwriters and directors, they could only say that they would give verbal support again.

After all, they really did have a cow.

Xu Zheng and Guangfa have a very good relationship. Generally speaking, Guangfa will invest in any film that Xu Zheng is involved in.

But Guangdian did not invest in this "Dying to Survive", and neither did major companies such as Yida, Huayi, and Bona. This is enough to explain the problem.

Big companies in the industry are generally not optimistic about the movie "Dying to Survive".
