558: The lazy director

The second update has been issued, at least the fifth update today, where will the monthly ticket be, and where will the subscription be!

The reporter from Harvard School News asked excitedly: "The outside world rumored that when you took on this biopic, you thought more about Zach's Chinese girlfriend than Zach himself. Is it true?"

Li Donglai thought about it slightly and said seriously: "There are some factors, but not facts. This is Zach's biographical movie after all, and I'm not confused yet." The student reporter smiled.

After a pause, Li Donglai continued: "Maybe it's environmental factors. In many Hollywood movies, Chinese play roles like bad guys and thieves. Either they just don't know anything and just smear them all, but some people are keen on this... This is a kind of cultural tragedy. Some Hollywood directors are very naive. On the one hand, they don't want to give up the huge Asian votes, but on the other hand, they spare no effort to slander and discredit Asians' image. Let me ask, in this case, will Asians buy it? No one is a fool, unless some people think they are smarter than others."

"As an Asian, a Chinese, I hope more Asian actors can be treated fairly. I know that another Chinese director Lin Xiebin is also working hard for this. He added a Japanese character to "Fast and Furious", which is the result. His "Fast and Furious 5" will be released next year. Although I have no contact with him, I am very optimistic about his movie..."

The reporter interrupted: "Is it because they are both Chinese, so they are optimistic?"

"No."

Li Donglai shook his head and said, "If you systematically summarize the series of movies "Fast and Furious", you will find that since Lin accepted it, the box office of this series of movies has increased leapfrogly, and this time it is the same." He helped the Taiwanese Chinese who had never been masked.

At the end of the interview, the beautiful reporter asked the biggest gossip question and said: "There was a report before that you went back to South Korea to meet Miss Yoona's family. Have you ever thought about getting married? Miss Emma Watson knew what it was like?"

Li Donglai was slightly embarrassed and waved his hands repeatedly, "I won't respond to this, thank you."

The beautiful reporter asked coquettishly: "Just tell me privately. Let's turn off the camera and recorder and don't tell others?"

Li Donglai laughed and said, "Miss Reporter. Your profession is born to be a kind of person who cannot keep secrets."

...

The record of the interview with Harvard School News was reprinted by many media. Some Americans continued to be arrogant, while some Americans began to formally market the Asian market. To be precise, it was the Chinese market.

They have never given up on the Japanese market. But the huge population base in mainland China has begun to show explosive consumption potential, and the film market will show its attractive side in the next two to three years.

Perhaps in the future, more scenes of praise for China will appear.

Many Asian media, especially Chinese media, pay more attention to this report, and have more sense of identity with the magical young man who is working hard in the United States.

During the filming period, Jesse, Andrew, Ab, Justin and others had speculation about working with Li Donglai, knowing that Li Donglai is a workaholic. Maybe they will be asked very harshly.

But after a week of shooting, they met a Li Donglai who was completely different from the rumors.

Enjoy, be lazy...

Yes, it's just laziness.

His beautiful female secretary seems to have appreciated now and filmed the series. But she still secretly sent delicious food to the crew as soon as she had time, and all kinds of Chinese delicacies that made people drool. I am so envious of people. Whenever Li Donglai eats delicious food alone, Justin secretly discusses that they look intimate. Judging from their intimate appearance, I am afraid that they will not know it any longer.

It was raining this day, and it was a night scene again. The weather was a little cold. Before I knew it, summer was gone, autumn was about to pass, and winter was coming.

"ab, you have made great progress recently. Are you still used to filming in the United States?"

Li Donglai was strolling around the crew with a cup of warm and fragrant bean milk tea. Seeing that A was still putting on makeup, he asked casually.

Angelabb laughed at him when he looked like this. He didn't look like a director at all, but instead looked like a tourist wandering in the crew. He smiled and said, "Brother Donglai, there is actually milk tea in the United States. Am I ignorant?"

Li Donglai smiled and said, "You are indeed ignorant. Milk tea is not a Taiwanese specialty, so why can't Americans have it?" As he said that, he still had a beautiful mouthful of "I" and "But my cup of milk tea is homemade and has a pure Taiwanese flavor."

"Wow!" Angelabb exclaimed, "It must be made by Sister Biting. I want to drink Taiwanese milk tea, Brother Donglai, is there any?"

Li Donglai pointed to the director's seat, and Justin was already holding a cup without hesitation and drinking it. "Oh, Jerry, please stop." Ab called on the makeup artist to pause, and Jerry said tactfully: "Take me a cup, thank you."

“Ok.”

He ran over with his maid. Guo Biting didn't run a milk tea shop, so he didn't deliver it. He was really quick and slow.

One of Colombian producers, Billy Clamon, was initially not confident about Li Donglai's argument in a month, but after a week of starting the filming, he discovered the characteristics of Li Donglai's filming. He rarely had waste shots, all the stories were coherent and smooth, and there were not many attempts. Sometimes he even speculated that the movies made by Li Donglai did not need to be edited at all?

Later he verified this point and really didn't need too much editing. Even the editor was exclaiming, why there was only so little material, but when he opened the content, he was surprised if someone had already edited it once.

This is a later story, let’s not talk about it for now.

But he was having a dispute now. After just ending a perfect shooting, everyone gathered together to rest and chat. Li Donglai suddenly said, "Justin, you don't have your scene tomorrow. Do you have anything else?"

Justin wondered, "I was going to spend it with Jessica, if you have something to do, you need help?"

"good!" Li Donglai snapped his fingers and said with a smirk: "I happened to have something to do these days. I want to ask for a leave. Can you help me direct it for a few days? Of course, you can finally install an assistant director for you in the end."

Everyone was shocked, and even Justin suspected that he had heard it wrong.

Because the crew started filming from the beginning to the completion of the formal filming, it was a bit hasty, so there was only director Li Donglai in the crew. There was a lot of work on the Phantom, and there was not even a deputy director to help. There were many deputy directors in Colombia, but they were rejected by Li Donglai. Unfamiliar people working together will greatly reduce his work efficiency. So now he is the only one in the director seat. In the past week, Li Donglai has also demonstrated his overall control ability, and no one suspects that he cannot complete it alone.

Now he suddenly wants to ask for leave, and he still wants Justin to direct it on behalf of the director...

"Well, this is a temptation. I can think about it, I have to explain it to Jessica if I messed up."

Li Donglai clapped his hands and said, "That's it. 3qu, Justin."

Justin spread his hands helplessly and said, "Okay, but I don't have confidence in the director. If you mess up, you will definitely have to reshoot it. Why not just take a holiday?"

Li Donglai smiled and said, "There will be no problem. Just look at the director script I prepared." Justin took the script in confusion, and then he was stunned after turning a few pages, "Is this... a fool director's script?"

All of the scripts are written in the above, even if there is any lighting there, and if there is an additional camera, it is clear. If it is not yet qingchu, it doesn't matter. Li Donglai's painting skills are good, and he also comes with vivid explanations and illustrations.

"Ha, it's well written." Jesse Eisenberg came over and saw it curiously, and laughed and said, "The script of the fool director is very vivid." Ab also said, "The script of the director is so detailed for the first time I saw the script of the director. Is that true?"

Li Donglai said: "It's basically right. All the movie clips are in my mind." He pointed to his head and then said: "Otherwise, how dare I boast about the release of Christmas."

Andrew thought it was very interesting and smiled and said, "Justin, it's very interesting. Maybe you will be the next super director in Hollywood in the future, and the starting point is today." Andrew's words made Justin completely moved.

Bicramon, the producer of Colombia, felt that it was not good. He didn't trust anyone other than Li Donglai and asked: "Li, do you have any important things tomorrow? If you are in a hurry, there is no problem with postponement?"

Li Donglai hushed funnyly, "It's nothing important, just while Justin is still here, I'll release a new single and grab ladygaga's Billboard champion back."

"hooo..." Justin laughed, "You bad guy, you must be lazy." He knew this was a complimentary joke, could he grab the Billboard champion just by talking about it?

Ab smiled and clapped his hands, "Good job, Brother Donglai, I support you. Also, I personally like the song mylove." This smile was really a smile, adding a bit of glory to the cold rainy night.

Bicramon was helpless again. Who told Li Donglai to be the biggest here?

...

From the release of albums and first orders in the end of August in midsummer to the low of October in early November when winter came, "troublemaker" stayed on the top ten Billboard list, and finally achieved sales of nearly four million. The specific number remains to be counted by professional departments, and it is conservatively estimated that it will definitely not be less than four and a half million copies.
