Don't Be My Old Man [Entertainment]

At the finale of "You Long Mentioning the Criminal", Yang Li's Weibo comment had more than [-] comments.

Of course, there is still a little moisture, but the purchase number of reviews is not so cheap.Even with a little water in it, Yang Li has been in the top five in various rankings recently.If it weren't for the rising young idols still dominating the rankings, it would be a matter of time before Yang Li reached the top.

In the finale of "You Long Mentioning the Criminal Officer", Chu Shuiyun lost the bet with the male protagonist, let go of the male and female protagonist and the female partner according to the agreement, and also ordered the pardon of officials who were loyal and upright but unwilling to be loyal to Chu Shuiyun.

Chu Shuiyun's method of excluding dissidents is completely unacceptable to the hero.Since Chu Shuiyun wants to be the emperor, he should know how to use people well. How could he secretly plot black hands just because the other party is not loyal to him?

Chu Shuiyun didn't have the slightest remorse for the male lead's accusation, "If I really did something wrong, do you think they can survive until now? Since I want to take power, naturally I can only use people who are loyal to me. There are people in the world. There are many talented people. Without them, I still have a steady stream of people to add. If they are not willing to be loyal, they should abdicate and make way for the virtuous. If you are really doing them good, why not persuade them to resign, I can still give They're a little honoured."

Now Chu Shuiyun is in power, and the emperor is also seriously ill. Although he has not officially ascended the throne, he is already the de facto emperor. Almost all the military power, Jianghu power, and half of the civil servants are in his hands.

The reason why he approached the male lead back then was partly to pretend to be an idler to confuse the First Prince, and the other half was to use the male lead as a springboard to win the support of some civil officials.

He did it.

"What's the difference between your actions and those treacherous officials? This world belongs to the people of the world, not you, Chu Shuiyun, alone!"

"Of course there is a difference. A treacherous official will only fill his own pocket, wishing to take all the wealth and beauties of a genius into his own hands. But I am the emperor, and the whole world belongs to me. Whoever wants to give my things depends on whether they have them." If I don't give you this ability, then no one can take it away. I will chop off anyone who dares to stretch out their claws."

The battle between Chu Shuiyun and the male protagonist took almost three or four days to shoot.But no matter how Chen Hao acted, he couldn't overwhelm Yang Li's limelight, and he didn't have such a big face to ask Yang Li to refrain from acting, so he could only hold his nose and give it to him in the end.

Whether it's popularity, age, appearance, background or acting skills, Chen Hao can hardly hold back the imposing Yang Li.

Not to mention, Yang Li was almost taught by Zheng Wushu's top leader.

"You Long Mention the Criminal" hits the air, and Chen Hao, the leading actor, originally thought he should be happy.But looking at his poor popularity, and Yang Li's popularity, he always felt that something was wrong.

What is the current taste of the audience?

Yang Li doesn't have many scenes, and all his lines are villain's lines, without even a basic whitewash, so how can the audience love him so much?Just looking at their faces, there are many idols who are younger and more beautiful than Yang Li.

After much deliberation, it is probably because of the weird "spectatorship".Even a boss who has lived in the entertainment industry for decades may not be able to see through this kind of thing.

Too much luck.

In the jargon, Yang Li's "fortune" has arrived now.

It happened that the audience hated those endless whitewashing routines, hated those who were villains in the previous episode and became infatuated in the next episode.

If you are a villain, just do the villain's work well, don't try to compete with the heroine for the heroine!

The appearance of Chu Shuiyun just fits this kind of thinking.

For young people, this kind of villain who is firmly moving towards his own goals, and who is not indulging in the personal affairs of his children is really rare!

Only such a person can be an emperor. Looking through the history books, how many wise monarchs are addicted to love and love, and are kind and upright?For something like politics, friendship and harmony are simply impossible.

The more Chu Shuiyun doesn't clean up, the more the audience loves him.

In the end, when Chu Shuiyun officially ascended the throne, the bullet screens were all "Long live Your Majesty!" "Wencheng Wude, rule the world" and so on.

When filming the film, the director also tried to ask Yang Li if he wanted to add some infatuation scenes. For example, Chu Shuiyun still has feelings for the second female, but they can't be together for various reasons, etc., so it may be more popular.

However, this proposal was rejected by Yang Li.

He played the role of Chu Shuiyun very coolly and happily.When he played other roles, he was all kinds of sad reminders. It is rare to have such a character that can make him happy to the end. He is crazy to add scenes that are not exciting enough for himself!

Yang Li is still a common man in essence, he loves money, wants to get rich, and likes to watch cool dramas.

Because of the high popularity of the webcast and the excellent production of "You Long Ti Ji Guan", after the web drama was broadcast, there were also a few second- and third-tier TV stations who tried to contact them in an attempt to buy a copyright and put it in the daytime or non-golden when the file is played.

This was naturally bragged by Yang Li's fans.

Didn't those people laugh at their family Yang Li for accepting a web drama?This is not an online drama, but also a star TV series.

Because of Yang Li's huge popularity, Zhou Cheng's phone was almost broken.

The announcements that Yang Li pushed before were of mediocre quality, tasteless things, if they were pushed, they would be pushed, there is nothing too pity.But it's different now. Everyone is not blind, and they have seen Yang Li's current huge popularity. When Yang Li's popularity is not going down, it's okay to ask him to do a show first to boost the ratings.

Some good big brands also expressed their intention to make Yang Li a promotional ambassador or something.

This is also the routine of big brands. They are greedy for the popularity of these new traffic, but they are not optimistic about their future, so they can only do a job for brand ambassadors and let them promote a certain item.For manufacturers, such new traffic is eager for resources, and the price is not high, which is really cheap and high-quality.

In the past, Zhou Cheng might really be moved.

Now, hehe.

Zhou Cheng unceremoniously pushed all of them.

What's the hurry?

When "Special China" is released, what is the promotion ambassador? If the box office performance of "Seven People Talking About Ghosts" is also high, Yang Li's future will be limitless.Now, with shallow eyelids, he agrees to be a promotion ambassador for such superficial beauty, what a fool!

Zhou Cheng's current expectation for Yang Li is to let Yang Li grow up in the shortest possible time to take over Zheng Wushu's domestic fashion film and television resources, and he doesn't like these brands at all.

The excuses are ready-made. Yang Li is currently filming in the crew of "Seven People Talking About Ghosts". The scenes are very heavy, and he really has no time to come out.

As for the usual posting on Weibo for advertisements, Zhou Cheng didn't agree, and just said that the Weibo account was not in his hands, and pushed it all out.

Zhou Cheng's move stunned those advertising companies, program producers, and the same few newcomers.

How is this going?

Isn't the correct way to take advantage of the high traffic and popularity to connect yourself with a few more resources to consolidate your popularity?You know, most drama fans are not long enough, and they can disappear completely in three and a half months.Only by chasing after the victory and constantly appearing in front of the audience can the audience remember it.

Everyone does it.

Originally, a few people who thought they were Yang Li's opponents thought about black Yang Li grabbing the endorsement, but Zhou Cheng, the agent, turned down all the resources in one go?Could it be that what Yang Li's fans said was true, that this manager was an unfamiliar white-eyed wolf who deliberately tormented Yang Li?

All of a sudden, various rumors spread immediately.

Zhou Cheng was as immobile as a mountain, at worst he would be hung up again.

These people are still too short-sighted.

An actor, of course, is the most realistic work, and everything else is fiction.It doesn't matter if these drama fans are lost now, they will automatically come back when the movie is released.

No one can always have great popularity, the current low-key is just for a more glorious future in the future.

Director Jiang Liang naturally knew that Yang Li's current popularity was soaring, and he was hesitant to take some time off to ask Yang Li for leave. Who knew that Yang Li didn't mention a word, and continued to obediently film in the crew.

As a result, those in the crew who wanted to ask for leave were afraid to speak.

Yang Li is so popular now that he didn't ask for leave to film here, how dare they move?

Ruan Hong was even more obedient, feeling more and more that the crew was in deep water.With Zheng Wushu's support behind him, Yang Li didn't dare to move. He was a little transparent and dishonest and wanted to be a monster. Did he think he had too many opportunities to act?

Yao Pei also planned to shave his head as agreed.

But the director stopped her for the time being, and just asked her not to wash her hair for a few days, and to film with messy hair.

Because of Yao Pei's excellence, the director added a short scene of "father and son getting along" with Yang Li.

Zhao Rui took the kid back, only to find that both he and the kid stink.

"How long has it been since you took a shower?" Zhao Rui looked at him with disgust, "And your hair is messy, how long has it been since you cut it?"

"Hair... hair can be sold for money." The child replied in a low voice, "and taking a bath in winter is a waste of gas."

There is an old gas stove picked up in the child's house, and that tank of gas is almost the whole winter for him to rely on. He needs to use it to cook and boil water. How can he be willing to lack a large basin of water for himself to bathe in?

"Your hair is so dirty, who would want it?" Zhao Rui rolled his eyes, "Go take a shower first, and I'll take you to the barbershop after washing, really!"

Zhao Rui took the child to buy clothes and cut his hair. He was finally happy to see a white and tender kid, but it was so pitiful that the kid was holding him and crying, and Zhao Rui quietly lost his thoughts of driving him away .

"Forget it." Zhao Rui scratched his head, "I don't want to find a woman to marry and have children now. You don't look too old, so just be my son and earn more money to support me in the future."

However, it is really troublesome to apply for a hukou in the city. I'm afraid he has to go back to the countryside to get his hukou there, and then slowly move to the city.

Anyway, the kid is not very old, so he can go to school two years later.

Zhao Rui thought about it, but he didn't expect it to be just one night. When he went out to look for the kid again, he only saw the policeman and the kid's corpse.

"Makeup artist, you made Yao Peihua miserable, don't worry about wasting plasma." Jiang Liang reminded, "There are still wounds and so on, can you make it more realistic?"

"Director, you are looking for a special makeup artist." The makeup artist also felt helpless, "It is difficult to draw realistic wounds. Besides, Peipei is a girl, so she can only show her neck and shoulders, otherwise Definitely won't pass the trial."

"Oh, yes, it's a girl." Jiang Liang finally realized, "After Peipei cut her hair, I forgot about it."

Hey, director, you are going too far.

Although it is true that Yao Pei hasn't developed much yet, his figure is no different from that of a boy, but you will still hurt the girl's heart if you say so.

Yang Li originally wanted to watch Yao Pei's "miserable" appearance to cultivate his emotions, but who knew that he was almost ruined by the director's teasing, so he could only take the script and go to the other side to brew silently.

Yao Pei's main performance is almost done, and there are only a few fragments of memories left behind.But for Yang Li, the scene where Yao Pei died was his first major challenge.

Zhao Rui not only wanted to act out that kind of hysteria, but also acted out that kind of spiritual feeling.The fierceness in his bones is revealed in this scene, so that the audience can believe why he can do the following things.

Just crying, there is no problem, the trouble is how to act out this abnormal feeling.

Yang Li scratched his head, feeling that it was really difficult.

Although his family is not well-off, at least he has a good family education.When I was a teenager, I was in the second grade of middle school. Although I encountered injustice when I was in college, I still took revenge and went back.After entering the entertainment circle, he didn't have much self-motivation, and Zhou Chengren was also good, and Yang Li was extraordinarily open-minded, so it was rare for him to be "so angry that he wanted to kill someone".

In a word, Yang Li has never experienced this kind of extreme anger, so it is difficult to act it out.

Director Jiang Liang also knew that the next scene was going to be a difficult time for Yang Li, and he talked with Yang Li for a long time, but unfortunately, Jiang Liang is not a director who is very good at training people, and he really lacks experience in teaching.

In the end, Jiang Liang could only look at Yang Li helplessly, "Your boss has played some perverted murderers, and also played that kind of extremely entangled emotional drama, you might as well ask him."

"But Mr. Zheng is abroad now, it's not good for me to trouble him so much."

"This movie is also invested by your boss." Jiang Liang replied, "You can repay your boss even better if you act well."

"Then, let me check the time difference and pick a time to ask Mr. Zheng." Yang Li hesitated for a moment, thinking that what Jiang Liang said was very reasonable.

He is the one who wants to make a lot of money for Mr. Zheng, so he must be worthy of the red envelope that Mr. Zheng sent him.

However, "You Long Mention the Criminal Officer" should have earned back all the investment money for the boss.

Thinking of this, Yang Li's mood improved a lot.

When resting at night, Yang Li checked the time difference of Zheng Wushu's current location, but it was only three hours, which means it should still be possible to make a phone call now.

Zheng Wushu is relaxing abroad now.

Although he is participating in the audition, it's okay to take a break beforehand, after all, foreign countries are not as depressing as domestic ones.In China, if he wants to go to the streets, he has to take various protective measures. Unlike abroad, although there are many Chinese, at least not so many people know him, and he is relatively free.

The studio's finances also reported to Zheng Wushu the income from the investment in "You Long Mentioning the Criminal".With the click-through rate and advertising expenses in the early stage, plus the second and third rounds of copyright sales, their studio, as the main investor and publisher, has already earned almost 300 million in this drama.

This can already be called a huge profit.

In less than a year, from production to launch, it has been able to earn more than double the cost of profit. If it is replaced by any other investment, it can earn more than 30.00%, which is already considered a popular industry.

Money from the entertainment industry is indeed a lot easier to come by, no wonder it attracts so many bigwigs to invest across borders.

Of course, their studio spent a lot of cost and energy on it.

If Yang Li is willing to take advantage of the situation and get more advertising resources, the profit will be even more substantial.

In addition, "Seven People Tell Ghosts" has additional investment due to some other costs. Judging from the current situation, the total production cost plus the launch and post-marketing costs may reach [-] million.As a purely domestic ghost film, this investment is considered rare, and it will take at least [-] million at the box office in the later stage to pay back.

The main cost of "Seven People Talking About Ghosts" is still spent on the actual scene acquisition.

Because it is completed by seven branch lines of ghost stories plus one main line, it needs to go to different locations to shoot.If it is only in the same place, it will inevitably not be refined enough.In this kind of film, the choice of location is also an important factor in exaggerating the horror atmosphere.

In particular, one of the side stories about "Street Killer" needs to blow up a car, and the cost of that car is almost half of the actor's salary.

Jiang Liang's ambition is not small.

There are seven branch ghost stories, six of which are told by the person who killed the little boy, including some traditional ghost stories such as infant spirit girls' dormitory, and naturally some new ghost stories such as the Internet, sports cars, and villas.

At the same time, the director also showed off his storyboarding skills and so on.

According to Yang Li's thinking, the director is probably based on the mentality of "this may be the movie with the largest investment I have made in my life, so let's just add everything I am good at", and how to spend money.

If it weren't for the excellent screenwriting ability, plus the supernatural elements that don't require logic so much, I'm afraid this film will become completely different.

But fortunately, there are only so many cores in this story. Even if the director changes his ways to add drama to himself, there is still a limited place to spend money.

The largest amount is still in marketing and promotion.

Originally, the publicity company was not very interested in their film, but after the backbone of the publicity company came to the set for a few days, they came back with several planning proposals and asked for a fee.

It can be seen that the other party still appreciates their film.

The profit from "You Long Ti Punisher" can just make up for the investment gap of "Seven People Tell Ghosts", so the studio has not been affected in any way. This is the benefit of a small studio.If it were a big company like Huaying, it would take time to review such a high cash investment, and the efficiency would be unmatched.

When Zheng Wushu received Yang Li's call, he picked a cafe to listen to the music slowly.

But when Yang Li finished talking about his troubles, Zheng Wushu immediately went back to his hotel, and directly turned on the computer and Yang Li's video.

I still can't explain things about acting with a mobile phone. It's better to be clearer and more objective than a video.

But it was much more difficult for Yang Li to face Zheng Wushu directly than to make a phone call.

Ah, maybe Mr. Zheng is resting right now, but in the end I have to delay other people's rest time.

However, Teacher Zheng has been abroad for almost half a month, and he has not seen Teacher Zheng for a long time, and he really misses him a little.

After all, Mr. Zheng wrapped him such a big red envelope.

"I probably understand your question."

In the video, Zheng Wushu is wearing a high-necked white shirt, and his hair is a little messy. He looks a little casual, but it makes people feel a lot closer.

It is rare for Zheng Wushu to dress up in public with such a literary and youthful appearance.

cough.

It must be this shirt, it seems to be the one that Zheng Wushu put on when he was drunk.

Yang Li felt a little red on his face, but fortunately he was using a mobile phone to video, so it wasn't so clear.

In fact, Teacher Zheng is only two years older than him, and he usually feels like he is seven or eight years older.

This must not be because I am too naive, but because Mr. Zheng is too mature and stable!

After deftly throwing the pot away, Yang Li finally calmed down.

"Actually, you don't need to be nervous." Zheng Wushu misunderstood Yang Li's current situation, "You have never played such an extreme emotional role, and it is normal for you to find it difficult to start."

Mr. Zheng is so gentle, he actually comforted me.

"I just don't have much experience." Yang Li looked at Zheng Wushu in the video with embarrassment, "When Peipei and I were acting together before, she was able to pick me up quickly, so I think the role of Zhao Rui is very good. It's not bad, but when she lies there with her eyes closed, the anger I show always seems to be a little bit off."

It's like an ordinary parent losing a child, but it's not enough to make people feel the madness in Zhao Rui's bones.

"Actors are built on each other." Zheng Wushu said with a smile, "You and Yao Pei are acting, and she can quickly pick up your moves, so you can act with ease. But wait until you pass this comfort zone , when faced with the role of Zhao Rui alone, he is naturally powerless."

"Can Teacher Zheng give me any advice? I discussed it with the director, but I still feel that something is missing."

"Well, I think you have misunderstood a little. Everyone has different ways of acting." Zheng Wushu said slowly, "What Li Yi and I can teach you as teachers have already taught you. You need to rely on yourself to experience the emotions of different characters. The same role, different actors interpret the feeling is completely different. If you want me to give advice, you might as well try listening to some music.”

"music?"

"Why don't you try the symphony, it can be about fate or heroes." Zheng Wushu took a sip of coffee and said, "Just go and listen in the concert hall to feel the emotion of fighting against fate. This Zhao Rui As a character, his revenge in the later stage can actually be regarded as a rebellion against fate. He wanted to return to a normal family life with the help of his adopted son, but this hope was shattered in a blink of an eye. Apart from his revenge because of the child, there should be some of his own resentment and injustice."

Listen to music.

"I don't know much about music." Yang Li replied euphemistically, he didn't know what orchestra played well?He has no musical ability at all!

"I happen to have a top-notch symphony orchestra here to give a concert." Zheng Wushu seemed to have remembered something, got up and looked in the drawer, "If you have time, you can ask the director for a vacation. It's only been a few hours. If you don't feel tired, you can still go back within two days."

"Not at all, not at all, I'm going to ask for leave now!"
