"Director Please Advise" was launched, and after watching the first program, I felt that the watchability was not bad, at least better than "The Birth of an Actor". The show is also very meaningful, allowing more excellent and unknown new directors to appear in front of the public to show their talents and contribute to Chinese films.
In the first episode of the show, the biggest attraction should be on Cai Kangyong and Li Chengru, a sincere invitation, a multiple rejection, which satisfied the appetite of the audience.
Although Cai Kangyong is a famous host, he also studied directing when he went to college, strictly speaking, it is not a cross-border, but a return to the old business, before he also made a movie called "Eat Eat Love", the box office is not ideal, only more than 20 million, Douban score 5.3 points.
In the first round of competition, Cai Kangyong chose "Water Margin" as his own adaptation, and he wanted to adapt "Water Margin" through Peking Opera, so he urgently needed an actor who knew Peking Opera to join his crew.
Cai Kangyong should have done no less kung fu in private, he knew that Li Chengru had studied Peking Opera and had studied Peking Opera, so he sincerely invited Li Chengru to join, with a very humble attitude, saying "I can't find someone more suitable than you", "If I don't have a full grasp of my script, I won't provoke you." Despite this, Li Chengru remained unmoved, and Cai Kangyong's three invitations failed.
Cai Kangyong's humble posture gave Li Chengru enough face, and the script is also a Peking opera that Li Chengru is good at, why did Li Chengru reject Cai Kangyong three times?
One of the words that Li Chengru keeps saying is "I want to see the script", which seems to be a question about Cai Kangyong's script, but in fact, it is all prevarication of Cai Kangyong, he is not questioning the script, he is questioning Cai Kangyong. The reason why Li Chengru rejected Cai Kangyong three times, I think there are two reasons for starring.
First, Cai Kangyong's directorial ability is not enough. Kang Yong is very successful as a host, but as a director, his skills are obviously shallow, otherwise he would not have made a movie with a box office of more than 20 million and a Douban score of only 5.3 points. Judging from Li Chengru's behavior of liking to point out Jiangshan, he has a bit of a very high self-esteem, and if Cai Kangyong smashes it, it will not ruin his reputation as an "old drama bone".
Second, Li Chengru and Cai Kangyong are not a type of person. What kind of person is Li Chengru? Direct, sharp, what to say, not afraid to offend people. And Cai Kangyong, a person who likes to talk about big truths, and he still makes a lot of sense. People like Li Chengru probably don't like people like Cai Kangyong, do you think he can tolerate Cai Kangyong nagging in front of him all day? The so-called Tao is different and does not conspire with each other, to put it bluntly, the two are not people of the same world.
Li Chengru mentioned "reading the script" many times, and in the end he did not read Cai Kangyong's script, so the root cause was not in the script, which once again confirmed that Li Chengru really did not want to cooperate with Cai Kangyong. Seriously, instead of this, it is better to directly give Cai Kangyong a painful pleasure, back and forth several twists and turns, even Han Xue is a bit unable to look at it.
Think about it carefully, Cai Kangyong does not have to be so stubborn, we must invite Li Chengru to join, many times, if we lower our posture, but do not take advantage of any benefits. I believe that Cai Kangyong's script has not yet reached the point where he can't shoot without Li Chengru, right?
