Li Qian's plan has been submitted, and the three main theme commercial films have to be made in the end.

Although in today's commercialization, movies are no longer an art that can enter the center, but the screening hall in Zhongnanhai is often watched by leaders.

In addition to watching it by yourself, everyone watching it together, as well as watching it with foreign guests, there is no shortage of commercial movies.

After all, it is an ideological thing, each country's film has its own unique culture, and although the political status of the film is not as important as in the eighties and nineties, it is not something that can be arbitrary, especially the main theme commercial film.

While waiting for the above reply, Li Qian continued the storyboard and storyboard of "Flight of Destiny".

When the above decides, we will continue to prepare for the next stage, and the three movies, just the directors and actors, are enough to kill a bunch of brain cells, and it is estimated that there is not much time to be busy with their own affairs.

The film market approaching the Spring Festival is still hot, and the two billion-level movies "Kung Fu Panda 3" and "Star Wars 7" seamlessly connect the Chinese New Year and Spring Festival files, and the market shows no signs of cooling.

The current domestic film market has reached the point where as long as there are movies, no matter what the schedule, there is no audience.

Before the Spring Festival, a "To Our Coming Love" was released, which made it clear that the popularity of the current bad movies is not just the popularity of classic old films, and the films that have been released for less than two years are correct.

The movie starred Huang Xiaoming's ex-girlfriend, and then the day before the release, there was a lot of news on the Internet about Yang Ying's involvement.

It's the old routine.

However, there was "To Our Coming Youth", this is "To Our Coming Love", and the next one is probably "To Our Coming Divorce".

The popularity is rubbing, but the box office is as sparse as the movie, and no money has been cheated.

And this Spring Festival, Future Pictures also joined the war, and Zhou Xingchi was preparing for the sequel to "Truman's World" and made a comedy "Mermaid".

Zhou Xingchi's comedy is a fast golden signboard, and the box office on the first day directly broke the 200 million mark, pushing the first-day box office record of Chinese films to a new height with a super high box office of 280 million.

1.8 billion in seven days, 3 billion in 20 days!

Chinese films have officially ushered in the era of three billion.

Although "Aomen Fengyun 3" and "Journey to the West: Three Dozen White Bone Spirits" both broke one billion, they were still completely overshadowed by Zhou Xingchi alone.

Zhou Runfa, Liu Dehua, Guo Fucheng, Zhang Xueyou, plus Zhou Xingchi, who did not participate, the Spring Festival stalls seem to have suddenly become a civil war for the king of Xiangjiang.

Of course, Zhou Xingchi had the last laugh, even if the word of mouth created the lowest in more than ten years.

However, from the perspective of income, Li Qian is the biggest winner, and there is no one.

Zhou Xingchi's comedy, a comedy above the level, and the online ticket of the exclusive agent of the future movie APP during the Spring Festival directly caused a surge in future movie users, and directly sat on the throne of the first place in the ticketing platform market.

Meituan's Maoyan ranked second, and the treasure digging movie, which changed its name to evade tickets, came from behind, and Ma Qingyang threw a lot of money down, and immediately surpassed the Weiying era.

The four major platforms occupy 85% of the market share, and a year ago, the market boss Grava, although he no longer stubbornly did services and began to follow up to seize the market, but it was too late, and the current market share is only 8%.

Moreover, it was also abandoned by capital, and in the absence of potential, the shareholders were already forcing the palace, forcing Liu Yong to sell the company, and then cash out and leave.

The ones that can eat Grava are the four major platforms, and Shengda pleaded with Liu Yong to sell to penguins, but Liu Yong finally chose Li Qian, an angel investor many years ago.

In the conference room of Future Pictures, Li Qian and Liu Yong signed a merger and acquisition contract.

The moment he held the heavy pen and signed his name, Liu Yongchang, who shook Li Qian's face a few years ago, sighed because of a disagreement with his philosophy.

"Director Li, I hope Grava can have a good ending. ”

"Of course, I've been following the online ticketing business for seven years, and no one knows the industry better than I do. Li Qian smiled and signed the contract casually.

"Because of this, I handed over the company to Director Li. Liu Yong nodded, his angel round and A round of investment were given by Li Qian, although he later disagreed with Li Qian's concept, and the two sides no longer cooperated.

Before leaving, Liu Yong couldn't help but ask, "My team and I haven't done anything wrong, and all users have more evaluation and recognition of Grava than any other platform, why did it fail so quickly!"

Li Qian said seriously, "You really didn't do anything wrong, but if others do more, you will be wrong!"

"Hey..."

Liu Yong left in disappointment, and since then Grava is just an independent brand under the future film, and it may not be long before this name will disappear completely.

......

"This is the capital market, walking on thin ice, no matter how good it is, it will face failure at any time. ”

Li Qian shook his head, Grava was also the first company he invested in, and it was over, and he was also very emotional.

"Director Li, from the sale of shares to mergers and acquisitions, it has not been a few years, and you are too far-sighted, when Grava occupied most of the market share, you expected that there would be today. Du Yang was also amazed on the side.

Zhong Lifang, who is responsible for the company's financing and investment, also sighed, "Sometimes I really think that Director Li should not make movies, and is more suitable for investment." ”

It is said in the industry that Li Qian's eyes are like a torch, and there are no unsuccessful movies, directors, and actors he is optimistic about.

However, there are traces to follow, after all, whether it is a director, an actor, or a movie, as a professional, you can see the good and the bad.

However, investing in this kind of thing is much more difficult than that.

At the beginning, Grava's family was dominant, monopolizing online tickets, and countless people waved checks to invest, and Li Qian sold his shares in this case, and the poison of his vision was unprecedented.

"It's nothing, it's just analysis, Liu Yongguang thought about improving the service, the weather, traffic, parking spaces, and food were all thought of for the user, but he didn't pay attention to expanding the scale, and it was doomed to failure. Li Qian shook his head, from the perspective of a start-up company, this is contrary to common sense.

Generally, when there is no opponent at all, or the pattern is certain, and the opponent is deadlocked, and the market is saturated, then it is time to do services to retain users and grab competitors.

Of course, there is no need to serve without an opponent, and the penguin has no opponent, but has it done a service?

"Hurry up and integrate Grava, and then the future film will start financing, Ah Tanuki has allocated a billion to the ticket evasion, the next two years should be to burn money, stabilize these two years, and wait for the users to carve up, the market pattern has been determined, it can be regarded as a real foothold in the online ticket business, otherwise it may become the next Grava at any time. ”

Li Qian told Du Yang and Zhong Lifang, don't look at the two popular movies of the Chinese New Year and the Spring Festival to monopolize online tickets and directly become the first in the industry, but it is not stable.

After all, the two behemoths of Penguin and Ah Tanuki smashed down with billions and two billion real money, and let users rebel in minutes.

As long as you keep up with the speed at which the other party burns money, you should be able to stabilize.

As for the money, financing is enough, and the future film has been stripped and operated separately, as the current market leader, there is no shortage of capital.

......

After coming out of the company, Li Qian came to the hotel to participate in the celebration press conference of "Mermaid" with a box office of more than 3 billion.

Three billion, Zhou Xingchi set a new box office record in the mainland, if it weren't for the average quality of "The Mermaid", if the quality is worthy of the box office, then now Zhou Xingchi can definitely overshadow Li Qian's limelight.

However, even so, Zhou Xingchi's limelight was not the same for a while.

At the end of the lively press conference, Zhou Xingchi also talked with Li Qian about the guaranteed release of "Journey to the West", that is, the sequel to "Journey to the West".

Xu Ke's "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" was filmed, and he and Zhou Xingchi worked together to drum up a "Journey to the West", directed by Xu Ke and starring Zhou Xingchi.

"Mermaid" Future Pictures and Future Films invested a total of 30%, and Zhou Xingchi accounted for half of it, and then several companies offered high prices to grab the guaranteed release.

In the end, under the price increase of several companies, Li Qian offered a sky-high guarantee of 2 billion.

Of course, he made a lot of money, just because of the guarantee and the publicity fee, he earned a little more than Zhou Xingchi.

has succeeded twice in a row, and Zhou Xingchi still wants to guarantee the bottom of "Journey to the West" this time.

It stands to reason that there is no need to guarantee a successful film, but Zhou Xingchi's main business is real estate, and he bought a lot of houses in Xiangjiang.

In today's era, whether it is the mainland or Xiangjiang, real estate is the same as grabbing money.

I got the money a year earlier, although I earned less, but I used this money to buy a house, and it was enough to make up for the lack of money after a year.

However, this time, Zhou Xingchi still offered a sky-high price.

2 billion!

A full two billion guarantees.

It's not his own director.

Of course, Li Qian knows that Xu Ke's "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" sold 1.8 billion, and he received the formalities collection, which was also a big hit.

But at this price, Li Qian knows the effect of the original film.

If it were someone else, Li Qian would have to bargain, but Zhou Xingchi was obviously a fixed price, and he was so direct.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Qian still smiled and said, "In this way, Director Zhou, I'll go back and have another meeting to discuss it, and I'll give you the results within a week." ”

"Okay, no problem. Zhou Xingchi understood that Li Qian refused, but he didn't say anything, both sides were direct, and the deal was not benevolent.

As if he hadn't talked about this topic, Li Qian asked about the sequel to "Truman's World".

Zhou Xingchi also made all the preparations, and after a period of rest, he was busy with the producer of "Journey to the West", and he was able to start filming.

"By the way, Director Zhou, I plan to make a commercial film about the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, which will be divided into seven units, I don't know if you are interested?"

Li Qian suddenly remembered "My Motherland and Me", Xiangjiang is also a part of the motherland, and it is necessary to have a Xiangjiang director to participate on behalf of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

There are so many directors in Xiangjiang, Li Qian has not dealt with much, Xu Ke is about to shoot "Journey to the West", and there is no time, so there is only Zhou Xingchi left, and he is enough to be a representative of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, unless Cheng Long is used for him.

"This..."Rao is old Zhou Xingchi is also a little confused, the main theme movie is looking for him, what is this, I really don't understand Li Qian's brain circuit.

"Director Zhou first listened to me, the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, seven 20-minute units, each unit is a representative event in every decade, in fact, the representative of the 90s is the return of Xiangjiang to raise the national flag, I think Director Zhou can come and try, and it is only a 20-minute unit short film, which does not delay much work. Li Qian explained.

It is of great significance, Zhou Xingchi thought about it and readily agreed, "It is also appropriate to contribute to the country." ”

......

"My Motherland and Me" needs seven directors, and "The Loveliest Man" doesn't know how many characters it plans to shoot for the time being, but it should be five or six, plus a film that has not yet determined which battle to shoot, a total of almost 12 directors are needed.

However, the 20-minute unit can also be repeated, and almost eight or nine directors will definitely be looking for it.

This kind of movie with the main theme is definitely going to enter the cabinet, and the leaders are a must-see, and Li Qian certainly gives priority to taking care of his own people at this opportunity.

found a time when everyone was free, Li Qian asked them all out and talked a little about these two unit movies.

"That's the case, although there hasn't been a reply yet, but it should have been these two months, and this is also an opportunity, a 20-minute unit drama, if you don't really have time, I suggest everyone come. ”

"Two tribute films, more than ten units, when is this happening, why is there no movement at all. ”

Everyone has not come to their senses, whether it is "My Motherland and Me" or "The Loveliest Man", although Li Qian only said the general planning plan, everyone can see that whether it is the 70th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China or the first large-scale tribute film to resist rice and aid Korea in decades, it is not a trivial matter.

Moreover, in the form of a unit drama, it is also unusual.

"Just last month, as the chief director, chief planner, and chief producer, I will not interfere with you regardless of the specific shooting. Li Qian said.

"Then can you let Director Li designate a candidate, and our qualifications are not enough?" asked Xu Zheng.

"Of course I didn't designate it, when the plan is decided, I will have to select a director in the industry, but..."

Li Qian smiled proudly, "When it comes to commercial films, to put it mildly, we people already account for half of the industry, except for you, there is no one else to be found, and you all know the approximate range, you can also prepare in advance." ”

Xu Zheng looked smug, and almost followed up to say "That's".

Ning Hao nodded, "However, which of these more than ten units should we shoot, "The Loveliest Man" is not even sure which people to shoot. ”

The seven units of "My Motherland and Me" are basically fine, and the major events in 49-59 must be related to the founding ceremony.

59-69, related to the atomic bomb, the return of Xiangjiang in the 90s should not have run, and there will be no changes in the Olympics in the 00s.

Li Qian said, "You choose one by one to prepare, those who can make war movies can shoot on both sides, shoot two units, and the time should be staggered, after all, there is a year between the releases." ”

Everyone, look at you, I'll look at me, or Xu Zheng spoke first.

He smiled and said, "I've also made comedies, the 49-year founding ceremony is definitely not suitable, and the atomic bomb is not good, so the Olympics are a little more festive, and it can be made into a comedy, or I will shoot the Olympic unit?"

"Then I'm going to shoot the founding ceremony? I want to try such a big film. Ning Hao also chose a unit for himself.

It's all picked, and the others are not welcome.

"I filmed the atomic bomb unit, and I regretted that the section of the boss's "Rejuvenation" was not enough at the time. Qi Yukun also picked one, and then said, "I also want to try war movies, Qiu Shaoyun will give it to me." ”

"Then I'll shoot Huang Jiguang?" Guo Fan pondered for a while, Liu Peiqiang heroically died in order to save the earth in "The Wandering Earth", which is a bit similar to Huang Jiguang.

"I'll just shoot my sister's field hospital nurse unit, and Xiangjiang can return. "Su Lun is a female director, and she really didn't have a choice for war movies, so she chose Tong Liya's unit as a female nurse in the field hospital.

"Then I made the women's volleyball team and won the championship, and I forgot about the war movie, I was messed up. Wen Muye thought about it and gave up the unit in "The Cutest Man".

""The Cutest Man" is not necessarily a war movie, and some are also small-scale, but let's do it first, the above has not decided to shoot those people specifically, just like this, everyone goes back and prepares to prepare their own units, and it depends on your plan. Li Qian nodded.

These seven units were picked up, and then Wu Jing, who was far away in Africa, was left with a war film unit in "The Most Lovely Man", and there were only eight.

The points are similar, and there are Cheng Kaige, Zhang Yimou, and Gu Changwei, the older generation of directors, and it is impossible for them to give them all round.
