Da Mimi took the initiative to introduce other people to Director Wei.

Lei Jiayin.

There is also Xin Zhilei.

He also participated in the variety show "I Am an Actor".

And performed well.

So Xin Zhilei is also very grateful to Director Wei.

"Director Wei, thank you. You are my mentor, even though you may not think so."

Xin Zhilei in 2016...was indeed a younger sister.

The popularity is ridiculously low.

Director Wei didn't care either.

After briefly greeting a few people, he asked about the filming progress. "Is it the second part of "The Blade of the Assassin"? "Director Wei asked.

Lei Jiayin nodded and said, "Yes, it's directed by Lu and produced by Ning."

Compared to Lu Yang, there is no doubt that producer Ning Hao has a bigger reputation.

Director Wei glanced at Lei Jiayin and said with emotion: "Ning Hao really takes care of you."

Lei Jiayin's acting skills are unquestionable.

But if you look at Lei Jiayin's resume, he can be considered Ning Hao's die-hard brother. Before he became famous, all the movies he filmed were directed or produced by Ning Hao.

If you want to be famous in the entertainment industry, luck and strength are both necessary, but in most cases you also need someone to support you.

Ning Hao’s loyal brothers are not just Xu Zheng and Huang Bo.

Lei Jiayin said: "Director Ning is indeed my benefactor, and of course Director Wei is too."

Director Wei smiled and said, "Shoot it well. 'The Blade of the Assassin' is pretty good, but they chose the wrong actress for the lead role."

Snapped!

Da Mimi almost broke a pair of chopsticks.

"What does Director Wei mean?

Director Wei said calmly, "Liu Shishi was cast as the female lead in the first film of Blade Assassin, and you are the only one who has been cast as the female lead in the second film.

Mimi, believe it or not, after the release of "The Blade of the Assassin" Part 2, you will become the second Liu Shishi. "In the first "The Blade of the Assassin", the actress Liu Shishi received the most negative reviews.

In the second part, the heroine still received the most negative reviews, but it was replaced by Da Mimi.

But then again, Da Mimi actually took over Liu Shishi's job.

In response to this, Da Mimi had something to say: "Director Lu thought Liu Shishi's acting skills were not good enough to continue with the second part, so he asked me to do you have any objection?"

Lei Jiayin wiped the cold sweat from his head and quickly explained on Lu Yang's behalf: "Director Lu never said that."

Director Wei almost laughed out loud.

"Mimi, don't forget your character setting. You and Liu Shishi are good sisters."

Director Wei reminded.

Da Mimi was too lazy to pay attention to Director Wei.

The whole world knows that she and Liu Shishi are just plastic sisters.

Lei Jiayin smoothed things over: "Director Wei, would you like to come and take a look at our crew? Director Lu really hopes you can give him some advice."

Director Wei shook his head and said, "Forget it. The director is the most important person on the crew, and Ning Hao won't often go to the crew of "The Blade of the Assassin" to steal the show.

I went to influence Lu Yang's authority. Besides, I have seen the first part of "The Sword Identity", and the second part will not be too bad.

Of course, it won’t be very good.”

Xin Zhilei asked with concern: "Director Wei, why isn't it too good?

Wei Jun explained: "The subject matter is a problem. Historical themes, especially historical martial arts films, have now been abandoned by the market.

The audience is not interested in this kind of subject matter, so the box office will naturally not be too high.

In addition, everyone is familiar with the history of the late Ming and early Qing dynasties. The Ming Dynasty will definitely be destroyed, but the protagonist is on the side of the Ming Dynasty.

Audiences go to the movies for fun. If you make the protagonist a loser, how can they enjoy it? "Both parts of the Blade of the Assassin series are of good quality and can both get a score of 7 or 8.

But the overall atmosphere is too serious.

The emotions are too suppressed.

The realism is real, and the heaviness is also real, so the lower limit is good.

However, due to the subject matter, the upper limit is fixed.

After hearing Director Wei say this, everyone else thought about the historical films in recent years and realized that there really hadn't been any big hits.

Lei Jiayin said with emotion: "What Director Wei said makes sense.

Xin Zhilei looked at Director Wei with a sharp gaze and asked, "Director Wei, if I let you film 'The Blade of the Assassin', are you sure you can make it a box office hit?"

"Of course it's impossible with the current script of 'The Blade Stitch'."

Director Wei said: "The subject matter has restricted the upper limit of the box office, which cannot be avoided by human power and I will not make such a movie.

Unless I'm making an art film, I won't go out of my way to upset the audience."

Director Wei does not deny that there are many excellent films with serious themes, and he himself sometimes likes to watch them.

But he knew that the audience spent money to go to the cinema, definitely not to learn, nor to suppress themselves.

So he won't let his fans down.

Xin Zhilei said with some disappointment: "Is there no hope for historical films to succeed?"

"Of course, but we have to change the script."

Director Wei said casually.

The others turned their eyes to him.

Director Wei calmly said, "Don't even think about it. 'Blade of the Assassin' has already started filming. It's too late to change it now."

"Director Wei, please stop keeping us in suspense."

Da Mimi said, "Tell us, how can this kind of movie be successful?"

Wei Jun said, "It's simple. Wouldn't it be great if the Qing Dynasty was overthrown? If the plot is good, the audience will be happy, and the box office will come in, right? Of course, the reputation will definitely be lower."

Lei Jiayin frowned and said, "But wouldn't that be tampering with history?"

Director Wei laughed: "So what? Are we going to make a movie and then have the audience learn history from it?"

Lei Jiayin: ...

Speechless.

Director Wei's idea is unacceptable in the eyes of old-school filmmakers.

However, people like Da Mimi, Xin Zhilei and others all had their eyes flickering.

Seeing this, Director Wei said directly: "Actually, you can try it.

"How to try?" asked Da Mimi.

Director Wei said, “After you finish filming ‘Blade of the Assassin’, you can get together and make a simple and crude film about the end of the Ming Dynasty and the fall of the Qing Dynasty, or even introduce themes like time travel.

Be lenient with the review process and don't limit your imagination.

Generally speaking, the first person to try something new may fail miserably, but there is also a high chance that they will make a fortune.

Da Mimi was moved.

She trusts Director Wei.

She felt that if she did as Director Wei said, there was a great chance of success.

"Director Wei, can you tell me more specifically?

The person speaking was Xin Zhilei.

She was also moved.

After all, she is a woman who has publicly said that she wants to be famous.

In the entertainment industry, there are female celebrities everywhere who want to be famous.

But there are only a handful of female celebrities who dare to express their ambitions and desires in public.

Xin Zhilei is one of them.

Director Wei even thought that if he tasted such thick lips, it would taste very good and she would not refuse it.

cough cough.

Closer to home.

Director Wei easily gave them an idea.

"The simplest way is to travel back in time and become Chongzhen, then lead the Ming Dynasty to change its destiny and destroy Nurhaci, Dorgon and the like.

There is no need for any details, just a simple and crude cheat.

Of course, you can’t expect a film like this to have great reputations, but if the box office exceeds 'Blade Master' by two or three times, I don’t think it’s a big problem.”

"It's that simple?"

"It's that simple. If you don't believe me, just try it."

Director Wei gave an affirmative answer.

Most of the main audiences who contribute to the box office of the movie are still boys.

Most boys have no good feelings towards the Qing Dynasty.

So although TV dramas about women who travel through time and space to pick up girls from the Qing Dynasty are very popular, that is because the main audience is different. The main audience of TV dramas are girls.

When dealing with different audiences, different content should be used.

Director Wei was not fooling them this time. Director Wei really believed that making a movie about overthrowing the Qing Dynasty would definitely be more profitable than "The Sword of the Assassin".

As for whether it can be filmed?

Are you kidding me? I can wear Qing and send bubbles, but I can’t wear Ming and destroy Qing?

Besides, this world is divided into levels.

What are you afraid of?

Director Wei feels that many people in the industry have not yet changed their mindset. In fact, many subjects can be filmed as long as they are graded.

"Director Wei, do you want to try shooting it yourself?" Xin Zhilei looked at Director Wei with expectant eyes.

When the others heard Xin Zhilei's proposal, their eyes lit up.

If Director Wei wants to shoot it, they definitely believe it will be successful.

pity.

Director Wei shook his head.

“My work schedule for this year is already full and I don’t have time to shoot anything else.

Besides, this kind of scene is easy to shoot, and I don’t need to do anything.”

Director Wei ate a very vegetarian meal.

Although once when eating, Xin Zhilei's foot "accidentally" touched Director Wei's calf.

But Director Wei just thought it was an accident.

Even once when Director Wei came out of the bathroom, he "accidentally" bumped into Xin Zhilei.

Director Wei still treated it as an accident.

After all, it’s normal for people to walk without looking at the road, isn’t it?

Unfortunately, Director Wei’s secretary is not very sensible.

When Director Wei thought it was an accident, the young secretary watched coldly and made a completely different judgment from Director Wei: it was another Lady of the Camellias who wanted to seduce Director Wei.
