Chapter 233 doesn't need to pick an opponent
This Li Qian, there are a lot of ghost ideas. ”
Li Qian wants to seal the magic capital for filming, which not only makes the majority of fans look forward to it, but also makes the industry have to be surprised by his idea.
Huayang Media, even Huang Zhonglei, who is very unhappy with Li Qian, has to admire Li Qian's brain.
"It's good to be young, and only young people have such good ideas, these directors of the older generation, including Ma Xiaogang, even I don't think the themes of their movies are new. Huang Zhongjun sighed.
Even if Zhang Yimou's new film makes a romance film, the original work of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" is a pure love story, even if it is very good, but it is not creative.
The big hits of Li Qian's films, including "Living Together in Time and Space" and "127 Hours" produced by him, basically have one thing in common, that is, a genre that has never been seen in China.
That is to say, "Perfect World" does not win with creativity, and other "Moon" and "Frequency of Life and Death", including the previous "Sniper Phone Booth" by the Internet University, are all creative movies.
These movies are incompatible with the current domestic films, and they are completely two styles.
This time, "I Am Legend" is not only a post-apocalyptic blockbuster that has never been seen in China, but also filmed in the magic capital, turning a bustling metropolis into a barren, which alone is enough to attract the audience.
It can be said that as long as Li Qian maintains his level, the box office success of "I Am Legend" is absolute.
Han Sanping greeted him again before, Li Qian's film will be released in the Lunar New Year file, saying that don't squeeze together in the schedule of this year's New Year file, sit down and talk about it when the time comes, all of them will be staggered, and strive for a win-win situation.
Huang Zhongjun, who originally had absolute confidence in "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb 2", was also a little uncertain at this time, after all, Li Qian, who sold 700 million yuan in three movies, has a reputation in the hearts of the audience, which is not much worse than Ma Xiaogang.
From the perspective of genre, "I Am Legend" is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi blockbuster, whether it is investment, theme, or gimmick, it looks better than "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2".
It seems that when the time comes, we really have to talk about it, don't touch each other.
However, Li Qian's birth and the discovery of several new directors in a row, the movie was also a big hit, which also made Huang Zhongjun realize the importance of fresh blood.
Li Qian can unearth Qi Yukun, Guo Fan, Yang Qing, Su Lun, Xu Zheng and several newcomers, but he can't do it without others.
At the beginning of the year, Huang Zhongjun made a plan H, not only attracting several veteran directors, such as Xu Ke and Yu Rentai.
Xu Ke's new film "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire" is part of Plan H, and Yu Rentai, who once filmed "Huo Yuanjia", will make a "Yang Jiajiang", a touching story of protecting the family and defending the country.
"Love in the City", which sold 100 million at the box office last year, is also going to have a sequel "Global Love", which skipped the whole country in the middle and went directly to the world.
There are also Niu Chengze, Lin Shuyu, and several new directors of Baodao.
"Zhonglei, you should keep an eye on these films, let's also learn from Li Qian, and let Ma Xiaogang be a producer when the time comes, these new directors, if one of them can sell well, it will be considered a success. ”
Li Qian is famous, Ma Xiaogang is even more famous, Li Qian can be the producer, and Ma Xiaogang can also do it.
It is not required to produce several blockbuster directors a year, as long as there is one, or even one can be discovered in two years, it will make a lot of money.
"Don't worry, big brother, I will pay attention to the films of those newcomers. Huang Zhonglei nodded, and said, "Big brother, when I played with Teng Huatao two days ago, I heard him say that he seemed to have the idea of making a movie, you see?"
"What kind of movie does he want to make? Didn't "The Age of Naked Marriage" just finish filming?"
Huang Zhongjun frowned, Tenghua Taoke is different from other rookie directors, as the director who filmed the phenomenal TV series "Snail House" last year, he is a trump card in Huayang's TV drama business!
Making a TV series is less risky than making a movie, and it makes a lot more money.
"I didn't say it, I just listened to him and had that idea. ”
"If you want to make it, let him make it, it doesn't matter if you have a small budget movie of two or three million. After thinking about it, Huang Zhongjun still didn't stop Teng Huatao from making a movie.
Which director doesn't want to make a movie, film director and TV series director are two levels, Teng Huatao made a phenomenal fire TV series at a young age, and it is normal to have this idea.
If it succeeds, it would be great, a director who can sell at the box office can create more wealth as a TV drama director.
It doesn't matter if he loses it all, it's only two or three million, Huang Zhongjun still doesn't mind this money, just let him come back to shoot a TV series obediently.
However, if it was a whimsical blockbuster, it would be impossible for Huang Zhongjun to defeat tens of millions of Tenghua Tao even if he was killed.
......
"I Am Legend" was a big hit, and it became more popular online than any movie that was being released, and it also made other companies see the potential of the film.
What's more, at the press conference, Li Qian revealed that the cost of the movie exceeded 100 million.
80 million production cost, 40 million publicity, 100 million is too little, and a bigger tone can claim 200 million to the outside world.
This 100 million, no one doubts that there is water in it, after all, it is a post-apocalyptic sci-fi blockbuster.
Blockbusters are naturally attractive to the audience, not to mention Li Qian's films, the subject matter is still so attractive.
Not to mention the Chinese New Year file in December last year, four blockbusters were beaten by "Perfect World" and lost their temper, and no one wants to meet Li Qian again during this year's New Year.
Yinghuang, the investor of "Let the Bullets Fly", the new picture of "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree", Berner of "Laughing Jianghu", and the Magic Shadow Group, which invested in "I Am a Legend" and "Zhao's Orphan" at the same time, all waited for Han Sanping to say hello to them before, sat down to discuss the schedule, and didn't go together.
Those who are not confident will worry about the schedule, Li Qian has never thought about the schedule, and it is best to be on which day it is when the time comes, regardless of how many films he has released.
The self-confidence of the strong does not need to pick opponents, because they are all the same
After the launch conference, filming didn't start in the afternoon, and there was no way to shoot.
After the press conference, the crew went back to the hotel to eat and rest, and at one o'clock in the morning the next day, they got up and came to the Oriental Pearl TV Tower early.
The sky is still dark, and even the hard-working office workers, except for those who work at night, are asleep at this time.
However, at this time, the surroundings of the Oriental Pearl TV Tower have been brightly lit, and the crew's multiple power generation vehicles not only supply the lights needed for filming, but also light up high-power bulbs to illuminate the more than 300 crew members who are busy.
"Quick, it must be ready by four o'clock, and it will all be placed according to the predetermined design. ”
Li Qian held a big horn and urged over and over again.
Before filming began, a state of emergency was introduced.
No hurry, time is limited.
Prop cars wrapped in blue screens are placed in predetermined positions, and in post-production, they will be turned into scrapped cars of all kinds, including private cars, trucks, and tanks.
There are a lot of scrapped family cars, but they have to be removed after filming in the morning, and they will be dragged back and forth tomorrow to shoot, which is too troublesome, so they simply use CG, anyway, the special effects of cars are simple, and they still don't move, even for domestic special effects companies, there is no difficulty.
Dozens of employees are also inspecting the surrounding buildings that will enter the camera to prevent anything from being goofed up.
The traffic light at the intersection that was on 24 hours was also turned off.
Executive director Wen, director of photography, art director, and special effects director are all busy directing the crew, and Li Qian came to Liu Ye.
Yuan Quan also came with Zhang Zifeng, although there was no scene with them today, but on the first day of filming, he still came to the scene.
"Brother Ye, Sister Yuan Quan, during this time in the magic capital, we estimate that we will always be like this day and night, but in fact, we are not particularly busy, you keep in good shape, the crew is just the two of you, and your state also determines the state of the crew. ”
"Director Li rest assured, I looked at the schedule, and I basically shoot for a few hours every day, mainly day and night are reversed, and we have no problem. Liu Ye immediately said.
Although the crew came at one o'clock in the morning, it took a long time to prepare, and it would not be more than four hours when the real filming was done today, and I rushed to the Modu Film and Television Park in Songjiang District, which is also a relatively large film and television base in China, where I filmed some indoor scenes in the studio, and finished work at three o'clock in the afternoon, which was enough to sleep for eight hours a day.
has eight hours of sleep, which is already the best treatment, even Yuan Quan, who has no role, insists on coming to the crew every day.
She said, "We are a post-apocalyptic movie, and I want to come to the crew to feel the loneliness and desolation of the last days." ”
However, Zhang Zifeng's child was unhappy, pouted and looked up at Li Qian, "Uncle Li, it's obviously three actors, don't I count?"
This cute little girl is quite bold, and she doesn't recognize her life at all after chatting for a while on the day of the audition.
Liu Ye and Yuan Quan couldn't help laughing, they are both in their thirties, ordinary people are married at this age, and they have no resistance to beautiful and cute children at all.
Especially Liu Ye, whose wife is pregnant, the more she looks at the well-behaved and cute Zhang Zifeng, the more she likes it, and even thinks about what her child will look like when she is born.
He smiled and said, "Director Li, you can't discriminate against our family, they are also actors in our movie." ”
"How can it be, of course Zifeng is an actor in our crew, and the three of you are the three King Kong Lines. ”
Li Qian couldn't help but rub Zhang Zifeng's head as he spoke, which was easier to touch than Wu Lei's short-haired head.
No wonder so many people like to touch children's heads, just put your hands on it, it's so easy.
However, basically all children don't like others to touch his head, and Zhang Zifeng is no exception, turning his head and avoiding it all of a sudden.
"Haha. ”
The little round face is puffed up, and it's really cute.
However, although he was only 9 years old, Li Qian still recognized that Zhang Zifeng was the little girl in "Detective Chinatown".
At the end of the movie, the weird smile with the book in his hand is really in contrast to the cute smiling face now.
Li Qian didn't tease her anymore, and turned his head to talk to Liu Ye about the play.
