China Entertainment: Been working as a director since 03

Chapter 775 A Noble Person

Then, the host asked Li Yu what he thought of the movie "Dying to Survive".

Li Yu paused for a few seconds and said, "Dying to Survive is of course a very good film. It is one of the highest quality films in the Chinese film industry in the past decade.

I am proud that there is such a film in the Chinese film industry, and I am even more proud that I have done my part to make this film available to everyone today."

The film's main creators, including Mu Wenye, Xu Zheng, Han Jiayi, and Ning Hao, were all beaming with joy.

Having such a big figure like Li Yu give such a high evaluation to their film is an affirmation of them and will also have a good publicity effect for the film.

Li Yu continued, “How good is the film and what exactly is good about it? After the film is released, there will be a lot of professional film critics and video bloggers to analyze it for you, so I won’t steal your jobs.

I want to talk to you about Mr. Lu, the prototype of Cheng Yong in the film. When I heard Han tell me that this was a story based on real events, I became interested in Mr. Lu's experience.

This Mr. Lu is much nobler than Cheng Yong in the film. Mr. Lu does not commit domestic violence, does not sell magic oil, and does not make money from his fellow patients.

Because he himself was a patient, his intention from the very beginning was to help the poor people who were suffering from the same disease as him.

The reason I say this is just to tell everyone that Mr. Lu is a very pure and good person.

I personally admire what he did. If I were him, I probably wouldn’t be able to be as kind and great as he was.”

Li Yu is using his influence to clarify things for Mr. Lu and tell everyone that Mr. Lu is not the same kind of person as Cheng Yong.

The crew was not honest. They told people that art comes from life but is higher than life and different from life, but they did not clarify.

Li Yu felt that this should be clarified.

He is a truly good person. He cannot let people take a movie into their reality and let it affect his life.

Some people are irrational and will substitute the characters in movies and TV shows into their real lives.

Suppose there is a good person who has done a lot of good things, and a movie based on him appears in the world.

As a result, his image in the movie became much more negative, and the crew has not yet clarified the matter for him. How sad and heartbroken he must be feeling.

This is what Li Yu thought. Maybe he couldn’t be a good person, but he couldn’t let down a truly good person.

After today's premiere, Li Yu will take out 20 million and let Mr. Lu give it to real CML patients to provide them with some help.

What? Donate to non-profit organizations?

Forget it, maybe Li Yu is just too suspicious.

He felt that Mr. Lu was more reliable.

When Mr. Lu was selling drugs, he never thought about making money. He was truly selfless.

What? Why did Li Yu do a good thing secretly? Why didn't he say it now in front of so many celebrities and media reporters?

The reason is very simple, because if he publicly says that he will donate 20 million to help leukemia patients, he will offend a lot of people on the spot.

You donated 20 million yuan by yourself. What do Xu Zhengning, Haowen Muye and the celebrities who came to the scene think?
If you donate alone, will they donate or not?

Donating would be as painful as a knife cutting into the flesh.

If you don’t donate, you will definitely be criticized by netizens.

Being criticized for no reason, the resentment will definitely be focused on Li Yu.

This is how the world is. Many times you can’t do whatever you want.

In the entertainment industry, there are so many things that are beyond our control.

To give another example, at some charity galas in the entertainment industry, a big star donates hundreds of thousands of dollars, and everyone thinks it is too little.

Everyone criticizes them, thinking that they earn tens of millions or even hundreds of millions a year, but donating only a few hundred thousand is really too little. Some celebrities are really stingy when they donate a few hundred thousand. There are all kinds of people, and there are definitely stingy ones.

There are some stars who really want to do good deeds, and they have no choice but to donate hundreds of thousands of dollars.

Because some bigwigs in the industry are stingy, for example, a famous director or the boss of a film and television company took the lead in donating 300,000 yuan. What should the star who wants to do charity do?
Even if he wanted to donate three million, he didn't dare to ask for it.

It can only be less than what the big guys donate, at most the same amount as what the big guys donate.

Otherwise, there will be a situation like this: a big shot only donated 300,000 yuan, and you, an actor, donated millions. What does that mean? Isn't this a slap in the face of the big shot? How can he put his face?

Otherwise, why do people say that the underworld is about human relationships and social conventions, not about fighting and killing.

In 08, the media reported that Jay Chou donated yuan, and then he was badly criticized.

You are so rich, you earn hundreds of millions from a concert, you have the nerve to donate 500,000.

In fact, Jay Chou only donated 500,000 yuan for the first time. In the following two years, he donated twice more, totaling 2.5 million yuan.

In addition, he donated all the proceeds from the concerts as fundraising activities, raising tens of millions in total.

As for why he donated 500,000 yuan at the beginning, it was because the big guys just donated 500,000 yuan.

Another person who did the same thing was Andy Lau, who openly followed the trend of celebrities and donated 100,000 yuan.

After returning to Hong Kong Island, he held the largest disaster relief charity performance in Hong Kong Island, raising a total of tens of millions of funds.

Liu Yifei and her mother were very stubborn. During that period, they donated one million yuan in their personal names, which surpassed most of the famous stars and directors in the industry.

Then there was a period of time when it was rumored that she was banned by Huayi.

This is what happens when you are the first to stick your head out.

Of course, Li Yu’s current status and position are much stronger than Liu Yifei’s back then, and no one in the circle can stop him.

But we can't do things that will cause public outrage.

It was fine when Li Yu was at his peak, no one dared to say anything.

If you get lonely someday, there will definitely be a lot of people taking advantage of you.

Lu Yong in the audience was somewhat moved by Li Yu's words.

He is the prototype of Cheng Yong.

The image of Cheng Yong in the film distorted him and he was very unhappy.

Just now, he was thinking about suing the crew.

After hearing what Li Yu said, the anger in his heart eased a little.

It turns out that there are still people who remember him, and that person is a famous director like Li Yu.

"I have said everything I wanted to say. I am not the protagonist today, and I should return the stage to the real protagonist," said Li Yu.

Li Yu wanted to step down, but Xu Zheng stopped him and asked, "There is a saying in the industry that Director Li has a good vision and is very accurate in his predictions.

I wonder if Director Li can help us predict how our film "Dying to Survive" will perform in the market and what kind of results it will achieve."

"About 200 to 300 million." Li Yu blurted out a number without hesitation.

Xu Zheng was confused.

Big brother, you are really giving me face by asking me to make a prediction to make the film more interesting.

A film that no big serious company was interested in in the early stages, and the theme is quite heavy. Although the shooting techniques and expression methods are those of commercial films, the main creators would not dare to imagine that it could make 20 or 30 billion!
