"What kind of film is "Stubborn Radish"? This is also produced by Li Qian? Why haven't you heard of it? ”

"Huang Bo acted, I know this film, I have paid attention to it, but I didn't expect it to be produced by Li Qian. ”

"It's still a comedy, there's one more film to watch during the summer vacation, I hope it's no worse than "Nightclub"!"

"It's still Li Qian, although he makes one film a year, but he also supervises several films. ”

"The name "Stubborn Radish" feels a bit unreliable, could it be the same as "Crazy Stone", this radish is a baby?"

"The comedy played by Huang Bo is supervised by Li Qian, it should be reliable, the three movies produced by Li Qian are all very good, and they are worth watching. ”

......

The three movies produced by Li Qian, "Jaws: Revenge", "127 Hours", and "Nightclub", are all blockbusters at the box office and word-of-mouth.

Even if the box office of "127 Hours" is only more than 30 million, compared with the production cost of one million, it is not an exaggeration to say that it is a big hit.

Credibility and appeal are the accumulation of such successful movies, and when your films sell well, the audience will believe you unconditionally.

Soon, under Bernard's Weibo, it immediately attracted many comments from netizens.

Huang Bo starring + comedy + Li Qian producer, all optimistic.

Li Qian has just announced the new film on Weibo, and Weibo itself is backed by Xinlang, there are a large number of users, and major companies are also paying attention to this new online platform.

saw a small-budget movie that few people knew about, because Li Qian hung up the name of the producer, which attracted the attention of so many netizens, and the CEOs of various companies were also hot.

This simply directly increased the attention of the movie by several levels, and the effect was more useful than millions of publicity dollars.

As the investor and distributor of the film, Yu Dong is also very satisfied with his publicity strategy and smiles quite complacently.

"Look, isn't this enough, whether he agrees or not, it can be regarded as promoting the movie in disguise, and millions of publicity expenses will be saved. ”

What if you don't want to cooperate with the publicity, it's not the same, you just need to write his name on it, and the word Li Qian is enough.

"Yu Dong, isn't it good for us to be like this. ”

Zhang Hao, who was in charge of publicity, was still a little worried, after all, Li Qian had made it clear that he didn't want to participate in the publicity, so he used Li Qian's fame to promote without even notifying him.

"What's this. ”

Yu Dong disagreed, waved his hand and said, "He is also the investor of this movie, and he didn't let him contribute, just borrow his name to use it, and it is not he who benefits in the end." ”

That being said, to be precise, Li Qian is still the largest investor in this movie.

Berner invested 2 million, Modu Wenguang invested 500,000, and the remaining 2.5 million were all invested by Li Qian, but the main control was still Berner, who participated first.

In the entertainment industry, this kind of thing of using other people's fame to promote is very common, and usually if it has no impact on others, they will turn a blind eye.

is just borrowing Li Qian's name to use it, and there is no loss to him, but the movie is a big hit and Li Qian's share, Yu Dong doesn't think there is any problem.

However, it didn't take long for Li Qian to post a Weibo that he was not the producer of "Stubborn Radish", which immediately made some fans who paid attention to this movie dumbfounded.

"What's the situation, is it supervised by Li Qian?"

"I'm wiping, it's really shameless, using Li Qian's name to promote and cheat money!"

"Thinking about money and going crazy, why don't you write Li Qian, Zhang Yimou, and Ma Xiaogang as co-producers?"

"Is it so shameless, using someone else's name to advertise, giving money?"

......

Netizens are still very jealous and hateful, Li Qian definitely doesn't need to deny this kind of thing, then the facts are very clear.

Looking at the abusive words under Weibo, Yu Dong was also a little confused.

This Li Qian's temper is too big, but he just borrowed his name and didn't lose anything, is it necessary to be so direct, don't communicate with each other.

There was a scolding below, and it is estimated that the media of good things will also treasure the island, Zhang Hao was anxious, and hurriedly asked if he deleted the difficult Weibo.

"Let's delete it, explain the situation, and say that the employees at the bottom are mistaken, Li Qian is just an investor, not a producer. ”

Yu Dong said helplessly, at this time, he can't be cheeky and give Li Qianan the title of producer.

However, even so, netizens still did not stop scolding, what is the difference between this and temporary workers.

Scolding, this is the favorite thing for netizens to do.

The situation has changed so quickly that the movies with huge box office potential have become scolding on Weibo.

Yu Dong couldn't understand why Li Qian had invested in the movie.

However, this clearly does not give him face.

Then let's see the real chapter of the New Year!

This year's Chinese New Year Bernard has two blockbusters, "October Siege" and "Mulan", with an investment of up to 200 million yuan in the former, and a large number of stars starring.

Yu Dong still has enough confidence in "October Siege", even if Zhang Yimou's new film is also set for the Chinese New Year, he has no idea of changing the schedule.

Although the investment in "Mulan" is less than 100 million, "Painted Skin" starring Zhao Wei and Chen Kun last year sold 200 million, and it can definitely carry a blockbuster.

In addition, she is a well-known figure in Mulan, so she doesn't have to worry about popularity at all, and she is also pinned on by Yu Dong.

"By the way, what kind of "Living Together in Time and Space" produced by Li Qian before is also scheduled for the Chinese New Year?" Yu Dong asked Zhang Hao.

"I don't know, but it's been half a month since filming started, and the time should be on the Lunar New Year. Zhang Hao replied.

Yu Dong nodded, "October Siege" will be released in December, and "Mulan" will be released in November, Yu Dong is very ambitious for this year's Chinese New Year.

Then what "Living Together in Time and Space" doesn't come in November, if it comes, let Li Qian see it, driven by his fame alone, it is limited after all, and it can't be compared with the big productions of big companies.

Otherwise, if he makes one movie a year and supervises two or three more movies, wouldn't he have taken up all the good schedules of the year.

......

"Stubborn Radish" became a farce because Bernard used Li Qian's name to promote it on his own initiative.

Although it was only half a day, Xinlang wished that there would be more topics on Weibo, and reported on Xinlang News one after another.

made a joke, which also had a little impact on the reputation of the movie, and also made Huang Zhongjun and Wang Changtian watch a scene.

Li Qian didn't catch it, he was very talkative, he didn't use his own banner to smash his signboard.

Now that "Perfect World" has also been announced, Wu Jing's script for "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" has not yet come out, and Xu Zheng has to finish his busy work before he can start producing "People in Embarrassment", and there is nothing left at hand.

Continue to concentrate on writing your own storyboard.

However, within a few days, as soon as "Transformers 2" was released on the 24th, it shocked the entire film industry.

33 million on the first day and 161 million on the first five days.

This sequel to the Hollywood blockbuster that got 280 million in 07 made all filmmakers dumbfounded at the box office.

This data directly broke the current first-day, single-day, and first-week box office records.

It's not a little bit over, jumping directly from 27 million on the first day of "Red Cliff" to 33 million.

And it got 160 million in 5 days, which basically refreshed the box office record of "Titanic" in mainland film history.

took another 130 million in the second week, and got 291 million in 11 days, which is simply appalling.

There are still 70 million box office in the third week, and the trend is as stable as a dog, and 361 million has already surpassed the box office record in mainland film history created by "Titanic".

......

In mid-July, at this moment, "Perfect World" has been launched in Yundian, and the information of the new film has been announced on Weibo before, Li Qian didn't even do the start-up press conference, he took some photos after the start-up ceremony and uploaded them to Weibo.

It's quite convenient, it's trouble-free, anyway, the purpose has been achieved, which is to announce the start of filming and warm up.

As soon as I started shooting today, I learned that "Transformers 2" broke the box office record of "Titanic", which made Li Qian sigh.

"I didn't expect that 11 years have passed, and the record is still broken by a Hollywood blockbuster. ”

Executive director Wen Muno said seriously, "There is still a big gap between domestic films and Hollywood, and this is inevitable. ”

It is true that the gap is quite big, after all, how many years has the history of Hollywood movies, and China has just entered the era of commercial films.

However, Xu Zheng has a different view, "In fact, this is only one aspect. ”

That's one thing, and there's definitely another side.

Wen Muye was curious, "Teacher Xu, what are you talking about?"

"It's still a problem with the audience's concept of watching movies, except for a few directors like Director Li, they don't trust the films of other directors very much, but they are Hollywood blockbusters, there is a kind of blind worship, any Hollywood blockbuster can sell high box office. Xu Zheng said.

"That's one thing. ”

Li Qian nodded, "These Hollywood movies that can be released in China are selected from hundreds of movies, which is a great advantage, those bad movies are not seen by the audience in the cinema, and they will naturally think that Hollywood movies are better." ”

"However, Brother Zheng, you said that the audience doesn't trust domestic movies, in fact, it's not that they don't distrust, it's just that many movies are niche, even if the quality of the movie is high, but the audience is not large, and there are no big directors and superstars, naturally there will not be many audiences, and Hollywood blockbusters, the audience is much wider. ”

"Can Director Li elaborate?"

Xu Zheng immediately became interested, as a cheesy literary and artistic youth, he is quite a director, makes good movies, wants to make the movies he wants to make, and also wants to make money.

As a director who has broken 100 million yuan in two consecutive films, Li Qian's views on the market are undoubtedly worth listening.

"How can I say it, in fact, if you look at our domestic films, many films with a good reputation have a good box office, but the audience is not wide enough. ”

Li Qian thought for a while and said, "I'll give you the most obvious example, action movies are considered niche in China, but as a result, "Ip Man" almost broke 100 million at the box office in the Chinese New Year file with such fierce competition last year, what do you think is the main reason, or what is the main factor for the success of this movie?"

Throwing the question at them, both of them pondered.

They really haven't thought about this problem, after all, compared to this action movie, they care more about "The Moon", "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", and "Mei Lanfang".

Xu Zheng thought about it for a while, and suddenly had a flash of inspiration, "The role of Ip Man is different from the male protagonist of many domestic action movies, he is no longer the kind of reckless man who fights and kills, he is a martial arts master, steady and gentle, with a grandmaster bearing, and his style is at a higher level, a bit like Huang Feihong played by Li Lianjie." ”

"That's a little bit of a point. ”

Li Qian nodded, and looked at Wen Muye again.

Wen Muye first said that he agreed with Xu Zheng's words, and then said his thoughts, "I think "Ip Man" is not a simple action movie, the core of this movie is not a fight scene, but focuses on telling stories and people.

Director Ye Weixin erected the image of a good man for Ip Man. Most of the time, Ip Man is at the edge of the picture, not arrogant or deliberately highlighted, making people feel calm and gentle, especially Jin Shan Xun forms a sharp contrast, Jin Shan Claw's shots are mostly moving, rising and falling, pushing and pulling rapidly, showing his irascible and rude personality undoubtedly, while Ip Man is the opposite.

There is also the translator Li Zhao, who looked like a traitor at first, but slowly found that he had been helping Ip Man and helping the common people, and even if he hadn't changed some of Ip Man's words when he was translating, Ip Man might have been sand sculpted by the Japanese Ben people halfway. ”

Wen Muno analyzed several of the main characters in the movie and the overall narrative, but he still didn't get to the core.

Li Qian said with a smile, "What you are talking about is a breakthrough in the action movie "Ip Man", but the core thing is actually very simple, this is an anti-Japanese movie, whether it is the bandit Jin Shan looking for it, Li Zhao who is the translator of the Japanese Ben, these people who are on the surface bad guys, or the actor Ip Man, they finally deal with the Japanese Ben people, to put it bluntly, this movie has aroused the patriotic feelings in our hearts. ”

The two looked at each other, and when "Ip Man" was released, the words patriotic feelings appeared in the mouths of news and professional film critics.

But as professional filmmakers, even if they haven't directed a play yet, they have never attributed the success of the film to such a simple four words, which is too cheesy.

The narrative of the movie, the characterization, the camera control... And so on and so forth, that's what they're studying.

Li Qian also understood their thoughts, and he continued, "It seems that China does not pay attention to the emotions in the movie, while Hollywood as long as it is a real commercial film, no matter what genre, most of them will have an emotional main line.

is like the disaster movie "The Day After Tomorrow", the hero's son went to New York alone to find a girlfriend in the face of natural disasters, and the actor also crossed many dangers and went to New York to save his son, and the goal of this line is to save his relatives.

"Hurricane Rescue" is an action movie, the whole theme is a father saving his daughter, "Adventure in the Center of the Earth" is an adventure movie, and the adventure team is also two families. ”

Hollywood has studied movies thoroughly and knows what best attracts and resonates with audiences.

"Family, love, friendship, patriotism, every emotion that can resonate with the audience, as long as it is done well, it can make the audience pay for the movie, Li Lianjie's "Huo Yuanjia" sold more than 100 million, and Jackie Chan's "Baby Plan" and "Myth" have never been able to break through the 100 million mark, not to mention absolutely, "Huo Yuanjia" can break 100 million, which has something to do with the core of the theme of this movie. ”

Although this argument is different from what I have heard in the past, if you think about it carefully, "The Frequency of Life and Death" is about the relationship between father and son, and the most touching thing about "Moon" is the relationship between two identical clones, which is better than the relationship between brothers.

"But Director Li, "Perfect World" doesn't have these factors?" Wen Muye couldn't help but ask.

Li Qian smiled, "Who said no, the relationship between the characters played by Zhang Hanyu and Wu Lei is similar to that of father and son, which is the core of this movie." ”

"But it's not so easy to write a script like this. Xu Zheng said that he had been changing the script of "People in Embarrassment" before, making minor repairs and minor repairs, and after listening to Li Qian's speech, he seemed to have grasped some key points.

"It's not about how complicated it is, how much connotation, how deep, Wu Jing is now preparing a new movie, which is also an action movie, his script should come out, and I will show you when the time comes, it is simple and straightforward, but it is particularly seductive. ”

Wu Jing?

Li Qian asked Wu Jing to make a movie, and the two of them knew about it, but...

It's not that they look down on Wu Jing or anything, it's really that Wu Jing hasn't studied directing, and he's just an action actor, even if he has already been a director, "Wolf Teeth" is just a simple action movie.

I really can't believe that Wu Jing can write a script that is full of emotion and captures the audience's heart.

"Director Li. ”

said Cao Cao, Cao Cao arrived, and while chatting, Wu Jing appeared on the set in a hurry and walked over quickly.

"Lao Xu, Xiaowen. ”

After saying hello to Xu Zheng and Wen Muye, Wu Jing excitedly took out a folder from his bag and handed it to Li Qian.

"Director Li, I've finished the script, you can take a look. ”

From the capital to Yundian, spanning most of the country, even if he was physically and mentally exhausted, Wu Jing was still excited, just waiting for Li Qian to nod, the film "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" can start preparation.

As soon as he thought that his second film had the potential to be a box office hit, Wu Jing couldn't contain his excitement.

The outline of the script and the general plot were given by Li Qian, and when he thought about the content of the script, he first let Xu Zheng and Wen Muye take a look, and then asked the life producer to bring some food and drink.

"Brother Jing, take a rest first. ”

Wu Jing was also tired, it was summer again, and he poured a whole bottle of water with a single bite of the bottle cap, looking forward to their evaluation of the script.

Just now, Li Qian spoke highly of this script, Xu Zheng and Wen Muye were also very curious, so the two got together and watched it.

After a long time, putting down the script, the two looked at each other and smiled bitterly.

Xu Zheng couldn't help but speak first, "Is this the story of Huaguo's retired special forces vs. the Nine-Nation Alliance......
