This summer, some people laughed and others cried. The disastrous failure of "Fortress of Shanghai" once again proved that capital's traffic game can no longer be played in the film market.
However, on TV and variety shows, popular celebrities are still very popular, especially in the past two years, idol talent shows have flourished. Programs such as "Youth Producer" and "Idol Creation Camp" are like factories with assembly lines, replicating in batches.
Traffic star.
This type of idol talent show has given birth to one traffic star after another. Some traffic stars have developed very well, become so popular that they are out of the circle, become top-notch, and gain both fame and fortune. Some traffic figures are lost to everyone and only have a few fans.
Fans know him, but he has no reputation outside the circle.
However, the booming low-investment and low-cost online dramas in the past two years have also given these non-top-tier traffic outlets an outlet. Most of the male protagonists in many costume idol dramas and sweet pet dramas are from talent show idols.
It is undeniable that there are still a few dramas that are of good quality and have been recognized by the audience, but most of them are shoddy, with bloody plots and serious skinning. What some female viewers cannot stand the most is that in some dramas, the male protagonist
That shape is very ugly, almost ugly.
This makes people nostalgic for the era when gods and goddesses were everywhere. Which of the actors in costume idol dramas was not a handsome guy? But this year, only Li Hyuk's "Celebrating More Than Years" can be watched.
In fact, it was not Li Hyuk who gained the most from the success of "Celebrating More Than Years". In other people's eyes, Li Hyuk deserved the success of this TV series, but it was the big news that it failed.
The number one female lead, Li Qin, was slightly famous before "Celebrating More Than Years", but she was always inferior compared to other post-90s darlings. After this time, she has truly become one of the post-90s darlings.
Tian Yu, the actor who plays Wang Qinian, is also out of the entertainment industry. Many of his emoticons in the play have been circulated on the Internet. In addition, Guo Qilin, Lao Guo's son, provided no less jokes than Tian Yu this time, which also made people laugh.
People saw his talent for comedy.
The most important thing is that he won this role through his own efforts and did not rely on Lao Guo's connections at all. He is considered a good person among the second generation stars.
Needless to say, the other actors, Chen Daoming, perfectly created the image of Emperor Qing. Chen Pingping, played by Wu Gang, was also very touching, and Sean, played by Yu Rongguang, also performed well. Si Lili, played by Li Chun, and Haitang Duo, played by Xin Zhilei.
Duodu left a deep impression on the audience.
When "Celebrating More Than Years" ended, netizens began to urge for the second season. Looking back, everyone discovered that Li Hyuk actually left many pitfalls, such as the next part of "Ghost Blowing the Lamp" "Longling Fan"
So far, there is no news about the project of "Cave", which leaves another "Qing Yu Nian 2", and there are other rumored projects.
So a group of netizens started the update mode, asking Li Hyuk not to rest and to fill the hole quickly. Unfortunately, no matter how powerful Li Hyuk is, he is only one person. It is impossible for him to start multiple projects at the same time with his avatar technique. He is also the core of these projects.
Substitution is not possible.
Film and television production is a very complicated matter. A well-made film and television requires at least seven or eight months, and as many as three or four years of production before it can be perfectly presented. In the past, Hong Kong films took a week.
The situation of filming a movie is something that even a major online movie cannot do.
On Da Mi Mi's birthday, Li Hyuk and the crew of "Creed" were filming off the coast of Norway. The weather in Norway in September has already become cold, especially the bad sea conditions in the North Sea, which are often accompanied by strong winds and waves, which caused a lot of trouble for the crew.
.
"Tenet" was shot with a 70mm film camera. Here I have to mention Nolan, a real-shooting fanatic, who loves film. Fans who are familiar with him know this.
While other directors are investing in the field of digital photography, only a few directors such as Nolan still insist on using film for shooting. Li Hyuk will not comment on whether this spirit is good or not, but he admires Nolan's persistence.
Another hobby of Nolan is real shooting. "Avengers IV", which was released successfully this year, was shot entirely with green screen. Li He once talked about this movie with Nolan. Nolan was full of disdain for this movie.
I think "Avengers 4" is just a super-long TV series released on the big screen, which completely affects the viewing experience on the big screen.
Li Hyuk disagrees. From a profit point of view, a movie that can make money is a good movie, regardless of its quality. What's more, aside from the emotional factors, "Avengers IV" is also an excellent commercial masterpiece, but its artistic quality may not be that strong.
, but it is definitely a movie that the movie company likes.
Film companies are not charities. They want to make money when investing in films. This is also the reason why bad films continue to be produced. You can make money!
In fact, during the filming of "Tenet", Lee Hyuk and Nolan had several arguments. The reason was very simple. Lee Hyuk hoped that Nolan could take care of the audience's feelings and make the film simpler without affecting the theme of the film.
"I Have a Picture Book of Ghosts and Gods"
Nolan had a strong opinion and it was naturally impossible to agree, so the two had several arguments. At one point, Nolan even considered replacing Li Hyuk, but the filming was already halfway through, so changing roles was impossible.
After a hard day of shooting, Li He returned to the hotel to rest exhausted physically and mentally. He called Da Mi Mi to wish her birthday. There is a six-hour time difference between China and Norway. When Li He called Da Mi Mi
When wishing for a birthday, it was actually the second day after the birthday celebrations were held for Da Mi Mi Du, Liu Shi Shi, Wang Ou, Tan Songyun and other six heroines of "Crossing the Sky".
"Hey, Li He, won't you celebrate my birthday one day in advance? It's already the second day and the birthday cake has been eaten." Da Mi Mi Nuo teased.
"Aren't you too busy filming? I bought you a birthday present in Norway and I will bring it back to you later," Li He said.
"That's pretty much it. Is the recent filming going well?" Da Mi Mi asked.
Li Hyuk shook his head and replied: "It was not very smooth, mainly because there were several conflicts with Director Nolan."
"Oh? Let's talk about it and let's find a solution together." Da Mi Mi said. One person is short-sighted in this kind of thing. If two people discuss it together, they might be able to find a solution.
"It's mainly a conflict in the plot. I hope Nolan will try his best to take care of the general audience, at least so that most viewers can understand the movie. But until now, let alone the audience, the entire crew doesn't know what we are filming.
." Li He briefly talked about the points of contention between him and Nolan.
"It is conceivable that you are considering the problem from a business perspective, but Director Nolan is the creator, so it is naturally impossible for him to agree with your opinion on the content of his film." Da Mi Mi understood clearly.
"Yes, so I am very worried. If the film does not do well at the box office after it is released, the media will definitely put the blame on me, but the Hollywood development plan will be ruined." Li Hyuk said.
This kind of thing is not uncommon. When Big Brother was prosperous in Hollywood, it was the "Rush Hour" trilogy. After the trilogy ended, Big Brother lost a billion-dollar Hollywood movie. He had no choice but to
After returning to Hong Kong Island, he became a marginalized figure in Hollywood.
Lee Hyuk is in a similar situation now. After several Hollywood movies that have become popular, his status is somewhat stable, but once "Tenet" hits the market, he may be in a similar situation to his elder brother.
Although Li Hyuk does not have to work in Hollywood, the influence of the Chinese film industry in the world is still weak. If he wants to become a world-class superstar, he cannot avoid Hollywood.
