Chapter 258: Gouzi, you have changed, you were not like this before
Li Yi quickly "copied" the script of "The King of Comedy".
Mu Nanxing and Fang Dongbai didn't pay much attention to Li Yi's sudden change of plan.
However, they were a little surprised that Li Yi wanted to film a movie with an entire Hong Kong cast at this time.
The script filing for "The King of Comedy" was completed quickly.
As soon as the script was submitted for filing, the new work of a popular fried chicken director like Li Yi quickly became widely known.
Domestic entertainment reporters are very sensitive and get first-hand information as soon as possible.
When they saw the name of the script, the entertainment reporters immediately became excited.
As expected of you, Director Dog, you are as good as ever. Every time Li Yi makes a movie, you always provide them with very interesting material.
This time is apparently no exception.
Because, who is Li Yi?
As the saying goes, there is only the wrong name, not the wrong nickname.
Why is Li Yi called "Dog Director" by movie fans?
Isn't it because Li Yi's movies have always been synonymous with sensational and tear-jerking.
Even if the words "directed by Li Yi" appear, everyone can basically say that this movie is a tragedy.
Although "My Sassy Girl" seems to have changed everyone's perception of him, no one thinks of "My Sassy Girl" as a true out-and-out comedy.
This movie also has a lot of tear-jerking parts.
And it can be said that Li Yi gave two endings to a certain extent, one happy and one sad.
In fact, some movie fans prefer the ending without a happy ending.
The ending of "My Sassy Girl" is even believed by fans to be that Li Yi changed it to a happy ending that satisfied everyone because of what he had said before.
Therefore, Li Yi is still a dog director, a person who makes people cry on New Year's Eve, what is he if not a dog director?
Even if everyone loves "That Rabbit" and can't put it down, the director will still be scolded when it's time to scold him.
So, when the script of "The King of Comedy" was filed.
Many entertainment media immediately started reporting on it!
"Tear-jerking director Li Yi returns to comedy, and the new film is named "The King of Comedy"!"
"Director Li Yi, who is best at sensationalism, may completely transform and aim for the "King of Comedy"!"
"Li Yi's new work "The King of Comedy" is on record. The tragedy director once again turns to comedy!"
But Li Yi's fans on the Internet are divided into two parts.
Part of it is supported.
"Director Dog has some foresight. He finally knows how to transform!"
"The name "The King of Comedy" is good, but Director Gou has set such a high goal for this transformation. Is it really good?"
"Silly guy upstairs, this is the title of the movie, not the target, okay?"
There are also some who are strongly opposed to it.
"What a dog director is best at is sensationalism. Without sensationalism and tear-jerking, is he still a dog director?"
"Gouzi, you have changed. You were not like this before, the "King of Comedy"? Why not the "King of Tragedy"?"
"There are so many directors who make comedies, and you are not one more. But there are really not many directors who are good at making tears. Don't be a bitch director and don't do your job properly. At worst, I won't scold you in the future."
"I'm used to having to use tissues when watching movies directed by dogs, but now you say you want to make a comedy. I always feel like it's missing a bit of inner flavor."
"Director Li Yi's works always have one and only one label, and that is "tragedy." But now you actually want to transform, and do so completely?"
Seeing the reaction of these fans, Li Yi posted directly on his personal Weibo: "I get scolded for making tragedies, and I get scolded for making comedies. It's so difficult for me!"
At this time, Li Yi's current influence is highlighted!
His casual post on Weibo soon received a lot of comments from fans.
"I feel sorry for the dog director, please touch the dog's head!"
"Haha, it's really difficult to be a dog director!"
"Director bitch, don't worry about them, don't watch them yell at you, why don't you just buy a ticket to watch it?"
"Just get used to it, no matter what, it doesn't matter whether it's comedy or tragedy, just hurry up!"
"That's right. We used to miss two movies a year, but what happens now? Even the production team members don't dare to rest like this! Hurry up!"
Of course Li Yi wouldn't really feel angry or anything.
No other director would envy him. His movie is just a script, but it has attracted so many fans, either scolding or supporting him.
It can be said that this all proves that Li Yi is now on the verge of success!
Hong Kong Island, for Hong Kong Island film and television companies such as Hong Kong Star.
Their perception of Li Yi is undoubtedly extremely complex.
On the one hand, he is extremely jealous, because Li Yi is a Hong Kong film director, but his films hardly allow Hong Kong's film capital to get a piece of the pie, and he rarely even gets a drink.
This naturally made them doubt whether they would like Li Yi, especially since Li Yi's fame was getting bigger and bigger, and he was no longer the little director they could smear and suppress back then.
But at the same time, they have contracted artists and leading stars.
The emergence of mainland celebrities in droves has also squeezed the living space of Hong Kong artists.
For Hong Kong directors like Li Yi, in their opinion, even if they can't eat meat, they can always drink some soup or something, right?
It's a pity that they were disgusted by them when Li Yi had not yet fully emerged. As a result, Li Yi's movies are definitely delicious and the best resources, but they can only watch them.
However, this time, it was reported that "The King of Comedy" will have an all-Hong Kong cast.
It immediately blew up the Hong Kong film scene.
In fact, many directors from Hong Kong Island have done very well after going to the mainland.
But Li Yi's movies are still the ones that countless Hong Kong actors want to star in.
Directors from Hong Kong Island have gone to the Mainland and have had many successes, but even more have failed. And today, Li Yi can be said that the box office appeal of his movies, let alone Hong Kong Island, is comparable to that of Li Yi in the Mainland.
Not much.
Therefore, the main actors of "The King of Comedy" will all be actors from Hong Kong Island, and after the news came out that Li Yi hopes to conduct an open casting on Hong Kong Island, countless actors immediately became excited.
After all, Lin Jinrong is the one who leads the way.
Before taking over Li Yi's movie, Lin Jinrong was not even a star.
But now, Lin Jinrong has clearly become the number one young actor in Hong Kong.
And these are all because Lin Jinrong starred in Li Yi's movie.
The point is, if someone else does a public casting call, people may worry that it's just a gimmick, but Li Yi is different.
When Lin Jinrong was broke, who were his opponents?
Hong Kong star Wu Ting, popular mainland niche player Li Tongzhou and others.
But what about the result?
Li Yi chose Lin Jinrong, an actor with no background.
Therefore, although the film and television companies in Hong Kong love and hate Li Yi, the actors in Hong Kong admire Li Yi immensely.
There is no one else, because only Li Yi really gives opportunities to actors with no background.
