Chapter 721 Selecting the Director of

"Zi Yi, the crew is almost ready, but there is just one big problem that needs to be solved!"

Park Jihoon looked at Li Ziyi who was lying on the sofa reading a book and said with some worry.

During this period of time, Park Ji-hoon traveled around major cities and used the channels of Ray to find many elites in the industry. He finally established a basic crew structure, but not everything went smoothly. At least many big directors were unwilling to direct this film. It's not that they don't want to work with Li Ziyi. As one of the few top actors who has made some name for himself internationally, many directors are very willing to collaborate with Li Ziyi.

However, the problem is that major domestic directors are both producers and directors, and few are willing to simply act as a director and be subject to the restrictions and jurisdiction of producer Li Ziyi, so they rejected the invitation to cooperate. .

"The great directors are unwilling to give in, but the new directors are not skilled enough to control the movie "The God of Medicine". Although this is a commercial movie, it involves real pain points after all and is a bit sensitive. If you don't grasp it well, it will be difficult to pass the review. of!"

Park Zhixun had a gloomy look on his face. He left his family and career behind and returned to China to start over with Li Ziyi. The last thing he wanted to see was any problems with Li Ziyi's first appearance. Although he had confidence in Li Ziyi, After all, a movie is a very risky project, so there is no room for mistakes.

Li Ziyi carefully placed the "Historical Records" in his hand on the table in front of him, clipped the bookmark, and then looked up at the agent with a sad face, smiled slightly, and asked without any worry.

"So? Brother, I know you very well. You are by no means a person who gives up easily. You have never complained to me about problems at work!"

Li Ziyi adjusted his sitting posture, straightened his body, and stared at his agent closely.

A trace of unnaturalness flashed across Park Zhixun's face. He rolled his eyes twice, but still did not dare to look directly at Li Ziyi. He was obviously a little guilty. With Li Ziyi's success, the two of them had long been in different positions, with Li Ziyi taking the lead. , Park Jihoon is the assistant, so Li Ziyi has a brother's love and respect for his younger brother aside from his brother's love for his younger brother. Even Park Jihoon himself is not aware of this, but Li Ziyi knows it well.

Li Ziyi seemed to look at the somewhat nervous manager, sighed helplessly, leaned against the sofa, naturally placed his hands on both sides of his body, and said tolerantly.

"Brother, just tell me. We have known each other for so many years. We have been dependent on each other and have worked hard in the entertainment industry for so many years. There is no need to beat around the bush to test me!"

Park Zhixun pretended to cough and relaxed his tense nerves. Knowing that his little trick could not be hidden from his younger brother, a trace of blush appeared on his face and he said rather unnaturally.

"What Mr. Wang and I are saying is that since the big director is unwilling to direct this movie, instead of finding a new director, why not do it yourself!"

Hearing this, Li Ziyi thought thoughtfully. Of course he could direct this movie. And to be honest, with Li Ziyi's current director level, he is definitely not inferior to those famous directors. It's just that he doesn't care about fame and fortune. Interest, and there are too many things to worry about as a director, which will take up a lot of his time, which is completely unnecessary.

Seeing that there was no change in Li Ziyi's expression, Park Zhixun felt a little anxious. He moved his body forward slightly, getting closer to Li Ziyi. He moved closer to Li Ziyi and hurriedly persuaded him.

"Zi Yi, this "The God of Medicine" is your first shot back in China. There is absolutely no room for error. Moreover, you also revised the script of this movie. No one can control the movie like you. It’s not that I don’t know how to direct. If I can direct and act myself, it will definitely be a very good publicity stunt and can attract more attention!”

Li Ziyi's expression moved. He naturally knew that the trend of actors becoming directors has not yet emerged in China. Only a very small number of top actors can serve as deputy directors or producers in the crew, and a serious director can There have never been actors in movies. After all, movies are still a sacred career for performers. Without thinking about the future, almost third-rate actors dare to become directors to make money. Capital is rampant in the entertainment industry and has become a new occupation in the financial industry. Target.

Park Jihoon is a South Korean. In South Korea, the status of actors and directors is absolutely insurmountable. No actor dares to take this step and go to the director's circle to grab food. This will definitely become a public enemy of the industry, so in this matter, It probably wasn't Park Jihoon's idea, at least it wasn't the one he proposed first.

Li Ziyi relaxed his body and asked helplessly.

"Brother, you always tell me, was this idea proposed by Mr. Wang?"

Park Zhixun nodded sheepishly. It was indeed Mr. Wang who proposed this matter at first, but after thinking about it carefully, he was more interested in the idea than Mr. Wang.

Park Zhixun glanced at Li Ziyi and said worriedly.

"Ziyi, although Mr. Wang proposed this matter, I hope you can direct this movie more than he does. I don't need to explain the reason, you understand!"

Li Ziyi was silent. He naturally knew the reason why Park Jihoon did this. Actors often feed off their youth. Very few actors can be famous for a lifetime. A new generation replaces an old one. Even the top actors will be surpassed and eliminated by younger generations. . Directors, however, are completely different. Directors are an industry that relies on experience. You can truly work for a lifetime, and their status is much higher than that of actors. Park Jihoon clearly knew that Li Ziyi was talented enough to be the director. Since he had such a God-given opportunity, he did not want Li Ziyi to give up under any circumstances. This was a good opportunity that he could not even imagine in South Korea. Therefore, Park Ji-hoon willingly acted as a pawn and encouraged Li Ziyi to direct this movie.

Another important reason is that actors are basically banned every year in the entertainment industry, but directors are rarely banned. The audience is far more tolerant of directors than actors. Li Ziyi was boycotted in South Korea before. Park Ji Hoon understands that being an actor is never as comfortable as being a director, and he sincerely considers Li Ziyi, so he can’t wait to hope that Li Ziyi will seize the opportunity.

Li Ziyi couldn't help but glance at the "Historical Records" he had just put down, and he happened to see the "Biography of the Marquis of Huaiyin" in it. There was a passage in it that was so good that Li Ziyi made up his mind and spoke to Park Zhixun.

"Kuai, a native of Qi, informed Han Xin that the power of the world was in the hands of Han Xin, and wanted to move him for a strange plan. He said: "The reason for Qi's case is that there are places like Jiao and Si. If the princes are virtuous and bow to each other deeply, then the kings of the world will follow each other and come to court. Yu Qi. Gai Wentian and Futai will suffer the consequences; when the time comes, they will not be able to do it, but they will suffer the disaster. I hope you can take care of it. "
