Chapter 179 The Golden Screenwriter Covered by the Director's Halo
Huaguo UnionPay is extremely satisfied with the publicity effect of "The Last Transfer of Datang Mobei".
He immediately signed a big contract with Four Seasons Advertising and Media Company, Ji Qiu Sheng's advertising company, which made Ji Qiu Sheng laugh from ear to ear.
On the Huaguo UnionPay side, Ma Xinhua is trying his best to invite Li Yi to shoot an advertising blockbuster for their company every year.
However, Li Yi did not agree to this. After all, he knew his own family affairs. Occasionally, when his memory revived, he could take a picture of it. If it were one film every year, he would probably be blind.

Although Ma Xinhua was a little disappointed, it was expected. However, he just thought that a great director like Li Yi would not like commercials, so he refused.
Although Li Yi has recently released a movie "The Last Transfer of Datang Mobei".
But in fact, he disappeared from the media for a long time.
Of course, Li Yi is a director, not an actor, so it doesn't seem to matter, but the fact is that there are too many media wanting to interview him at this time.
Especially when the director of "The Last Battle", Luo Teng, was interviewed by reporters when he announced his plans for "The Last Battle" and was criticized by thousands of people.
He apologized to all science fiction fans.
He said that he had disappointed all the viewers who had high expectations for "The Last Battle" and he was deeply sorry for this.
This is nothing, after all, Luo Teng’s apology and Li Yi are not on the same page.
However, he later actually mentioned "The Last Transfer of Money in Tang Dynasty Mobei" on his own initiative, saying that he had watched this commercial film that netizens said was better than a blockbuster film, and he was also deeply impressed.
Later, I don't know if it was to shirk the blame, but he also said that he went out of his way to learn about all Li Yi's film and television works, and was surprised to find that the screenwriters of all Li Yi's works were actually himself.
He said that he had gained a lot and said that this made him realize the role of a good screenwriter more deeply.
Not mentioning Luo Teng's remarks, let the screenwriter of "The Last Battle" directly criticize Luo Teng.
But what really caught the attention of netizens was what Luo Teng said.
Many moviegoers who usually criticize director Li Yigou but who claim to be dog fans were surprised to find out that they have always ignored a fact, that is, Li Yi's works are really, really, really...
He wrote all the scripts himself!
This immediately made Li Yi once again the focus of heated discussion among countless netizens.
Previously, Li Yi's halo as a director was so bright that it completely obscured his other abilities, such as screenwriting!
When the audience watches a movie, most of the time, they may pay attention to the starring actor and director, but few people pay attention to the screenwriter.
But it doesn’t mean that movie fans don’t know the importance of screenwriters.
However, compared to the director, the screenwriter seems to be more "behind the scenes"!
In addition, Li Yi is used to always starting his works with "Director Li Yi's works". Even in the movies, most of the time, only the name of the screenwriter appears on the final credit list.
p>
This actually makes people ignore this point even more.
At the same time, China has not always implemented a screenwriter responsibility system like Bangzi, but a director responsibility system. It can be said that the director basically has the final say on a movie.
This also makes the various domestic awards, the best director, have a higher gold content than the best screenwriter, and attract more attention.
But now that Luo Teng reminded him, Li Yi, the gold medal screenwriter hidden behind the Best Director, was completely exposed.
Originally, the gold medal screenwriters and the best screenwriters seemed to be just like that. Most of the publicity seemed not to promote which screenwriter's script it was, but the movie directed by a certain director.
But now, Li Yi combines these two identities into one, and coupled with his film and television works, it can be said that except for the neglected first bad movie that hit the street, the subsequent works can be said to have become almost synonymous with word-of-mouth. So the popularity and attention are there, and the media will certainly not let go of such an opportunity to boost sales.
Li Yi hid, and they went to interview relevant people who had cooperated with Li Yi.
For example, Hong Kong’s gold medal screenwriter, You Ningsheng.
As a result, You Ningsheng naturally could not speak ill of Li Yi, but told the truth, with a little exaggeration.
Therefore, for Li Yi's first movie (ignoring the real first one) "The Gift of Room No. 7", Li Yi only spent three days to complete "The Gift of Room No. 7" together with the scenes.
The script is all done.
Then Chen Ying'er, Wen Qing, Lin Jinrong, and even Mu Nanxin, Fang Dongbai, Li Zhenye, Yi Lingling, Zhuo Yixiong and others who have collaborated with Li Yi were all chased by media reporters for interviews.
They were naturally full of praise, and as a result, Li Yi became completely angry.
Then, some film critics also came out to show off their presence at this time.
They began to analyze Li Yi's previous works one by one.
They analyzed each piece and finally came to the conclusion that Li Yi's works were all based on plot.
He emphasized the importance of screenwriters in those movies, and finally said that the reason why Li Yi's film and television works have gained such a good reputation is entirely because of the plot and creativity!
And these are obviously not the credit of the director, but the credit of the screenwriter!
Then, Li Yi’s claws became numb!
At this moment, he wanted to pull out the instigator Luo Teng and give him a good beating.
Damn it, do I know you very well?
Because, he found that it was difficult for him to go out. Originally, as a director, he would only be noticed by the media when the movie was released or during the release. But now, as soon as he goes out, he will find that there are entertainment
Remember to follow.
Forget it, the key point is that even if he doesn't go out, his reputation as a gold medal screenwriter is too loud.
Whether he wanted to gain popularity or sincerely invited him, during this period of time, Li Yi was almost bored to death by those directors.
I didn't know where I found Li Yi's personal contact information. I called him. First he praised me fiercely, and then I extended an invitation to cooperate. I hope Li Yi can help write a book.
Just kidding, Li Yi finished filming one film by himself and has to wait and see whether Goldfinger can shine on the next one, and he also helps others write the script?
Of course he refused them all.
But it was useless. Some people even approached Li Mingshan and asked him to be a lobbyist.
Although the instructor Li Mingshan said on the phone that he just couldn't get invited by those people, so he called him to express his gratitude.
But Li Yi was really numb, and he couldn't sit still.
Therefore, he has never been particularly fond of programs. This time, he took the initiative to contact his old friend, Fang Nan, the host of Jingnan TV's "Movie Things"!
He's getting ready to go on the show!
Fang Nan has always been in contact with Li Yi. In fact, after the Hong Kong Film Awards, he invited Li Yi more than once, but Li Yi declined them all for one reason or another.
Now, Li Yi is even more furious. Li Yi takes the initiative to ask to be on the show, and Fang Nan naturally wants it.
