China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 774: His acting is so good that people forget he is bald
By the way, it is also worth mentioning that this script is based on real events.

The protagonist Cheng Yong in the film has a prototype.

The prototype is more noble than Cheng Yong and is a good person in the true sense.

The prototype himself is also a patient, so he especially understands the suffering of patients.

He never intended to make money from the beginning, he just wanted to help patients like him.

So the prosecution dropped the case and no sentence was imposed.

Before playing the role of Cheng Yong, Xu Zheng asked the prototype what it was like to play the role this way.

He himself was not very satisfied.

Because he doesn't have the bad image that Cheng Yong has at the beginning of the film.

However, Xu Zheng said: "I am the villain in the first half of the movie, and you are the hero in the second half."

Movies are works of art, and all works of art need to be processed artistically.

The prototype is too noble. If it were copied to the big screen, it would definitely not be as good as the story that has been artistically processed.

But what the crew did later was a bit unkind.

I promised the prototype that I would add a clarification video for him at the end of the film.

In the end, there was no follow-up to this matter, and no one contacted them to shoot a clarification video.

After the movie was released, it was revealed that the protagonist had a prototype.

Many people who don't know the truth have brought the film into their real life, and labels such as selling magic oil, profiteer, and domestic violence have been attached to the prototype.

In order to prove his innocence, the prototype took the crew to court. Finally, after communication between the two parties, the crew agreed to two conditions.

First, the film company donated two million to a leukemia charity.

Second, for every 100 million increase in box office revenue, an additional 300,000 yuan will be donated.

This is when the matter finally came to an end.

Li Yu certainly doesn't want to see this happen again.

He never concealed his purpose of becoming a director and starting a company, which was to make money.

However, a gentleman loves money but gets it in a proper way.

You can't make money by doing something against your conscience.

After the movie ended, the people in the audience stood up and applauded.

Among those applauding were Feng Xiaogang and his wife.

Feng Xiaogang looked a little embarrassed. He had just spoken too confidently, saying that Li Yu was messing around and that the entire film association that was supporting newcomers would definitely lose all its money.

Just a moment later, he was slapped in the face.

The first movie released with the investment of Li Yu’s Dream Association is a big hit.

He didn't dare to say how good his character was, but as a filmmaker and a director, he still disdained to tell lies with open eyes and say that a good movie was a bad one.

He thought the movie "Dying to Survive" was great, much better than he had imagined.

He doesn't know whether this movie can make a profit, and he doesn't dare to jump to conclusion because it is an art film.

But then again, even if he can't make a profit from the box office, Li Yu will definitely not lose out by making a film of such high quality and gaining fame.

"This guy is lucky to have come across a good script." Feng Xiaogang said a little sourly. Why doesn't he have such good luck? If he was allowed to shoot the script of Medicine God, he would definitely have the confidence to win the grand prize at the next Golden Horse Awards.

It’s a pity that he didn’t get to play this script.

The applause lasted for a long time before it stopped.

After the screening, Huang Xiaoming cursed to express his appreciation for the film and added: "I cried a lot, every part of it was great."

Liu Xiaoqing also praised: "Congratulations, today I saw that your filming was very wonderful. It has been a long time since we have such a classic Chinese film."

The film's lead actor and producer Xu Zheng said: "We may not look alike, but the small kindness in human nature shines brighter and brighter, and this compassion is enough to move everyone. The little people are mine, and the heroes are yours."

Xu Zheng said this to the prototype of Cheng Yong.

Li Yu is the largest investor in this film, and this is the first film invested by the Dream Association to be released.

Li Yu was invited to the stage.

Director Wen Muye said to everyone: "Director Li has made great contributions to the release of this film today. At that time, we approached many investors, but none of them were optimistic about films like "Dying to Survive".

Finally, we found Teacher Xu Zheng and Director Ning Hao to raise tens of millions of funds, but the funding gap was still large.

When we were at a loss and the project was at a standstill, it was Director Li who came to our rescue and provided us with an investment of 60 million yuan.”

After Li Yu got the microphone, he said modestly: "A good script or a good project will never be buried, just like gold covered by dust. At the latest, the dust will be blown away by the wind and it will shine. Even if Li Yu didn't invest, there would be Liu Yu and Zhang Yu investing."

When asked about Li Yu's evaluation of the actors' performance, Li Yu praised all the actors: "Teacher Xu Zheng used to appear in front of everyone in a comedic role. This time in "Dying to Survive", he challenged himself to play a small role and really played a small role who tried his best to help every patient. Let's put it this way, his acting in "Dying to Survive" was so good that I forgot he was a bald head."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone below burst into laughter.

His acting is so good that we forget he is a bald man. What kind of wonderful metaphor is this?

Xu Zheng: Thank you so much.

"There is another person whose acting skills amazed me, Wang Chuanjun. His previous impression was that of the Japanese soldier who couldn't speak Chinese well in "Love Apartment". I didn't expect that his acting skills have improved so much, he deserves praise..." Li Yu praised Wang Chuanjun and other actors again, making sure to give equal praise.

Huang Xiaoming, who was sitting below, felt that he was very stupid after listening to Li Yu's comments.

Apart from swearing, he only said that every place was good.

As for which place is good, he couldn't explain it in detail and clearly like Li Yu.

Wang Chuanjun is an interesting person, and "Love Apartment" is the work that made him famous.

Later, he criticized "Love Apartment" many times, saying that filming "Love Apartment" was just an experience for him and was not that important.

There is nothing wrong with this sentence, but there is a problem with the next sentence.

He also said that he had no choice but to play the role of Guan Gu, as others asked him to act like a fool. The audience is particularly fond of such crazy and stupid characters.

When the film version of "Love Apartment" was being prepared, which later had a bad reputation, he refused to act in it, saying that everyone thought that the cooperation would end after "Love Apartment 4" because it could not continue. Putting aside whether it was plagiarism or not, don't you think it looks more and more like an advertisement? It's all product placement, why make a movie?

If he were a spectator, he could say so.

But he is one of the beneficiaries of "Love Apartment", and his public remarks do have a bit of the flavor of smashing the pot after having eaten his meal.

He said he didn't want to act in a movie, saying that his schedule couldn't be changed, and he made all kinds of excuses to explain it, but he chose the radical method of intensifying the conflict.

This may also be related to his personality. He has always been so stubborn.

When Sunglasses King's "The Ferryman" was released, most of the celebrities in the entertainment industry were reposting and saying that they also liked it, but he said that I didn't like it.
