As the biggest winner of the Chinese New Year, Li Qian's celebration banquet of "Heart Flower Road" is a big deal.

After all, the New Year is approaching, and it can be regarded as a gathering of big guys.

Including Wu Jing and Guo Fan, who are busy with the new film, they also came here.

The film and television industry is a relatively busy industry, and actors often say in the show that many good friends don't see each other once in two or three years.

In fact, it is not an exaggeration, after all, actors who have filming are running in crews all over the country all year round, even if they are not filming, they have to participate in the shooting of various activities, variety shows, and magazine advertisements.

Stars are far busier than imagined, especially the industry is getting bigger and bigger, and there are dozens of awards for various movies and TV every year.

Famous actors go to the regular point, and the little stars are really the pheasant awards among all kinds of pheasants.

Nearly 30 TV stations have large-scale events every year, and various media have also learned to hold various activities and selections on their own.

Of course, there is no time to rest, but everyone often only talks about the bad aspect, saying how busy they are, but not how leisurely they are during the break, and how refreshing they are to eat, drink and have fun.

As a behind-the-scenes industry, although the directors don't have so many activities, and only one movie is released in two or three years, they can't be idle, so they can only say that it's okay.

It's rare for everyone to have time and opportunity to get together like this, after all, even the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Film Festival has not been all at once.

"Detective Chinatown" during the Spring Festival, and "Heart Flower Road", which is still being released, Ning Hao's two stocks are selling well this year, plus the New Year will be in the near future, so this celebration banquet can come so well.

Eating, drinking, chatting and farting are actually similar to ordinary people's gatherings, they are all people, no difference.

"Mouse, your personal box office has exceeded 3 billion, now I see where Ma Xiaogang's face is preaching!" Xu Zheng drank more wine and began to tease Ma Xiaogang again.

Ning Hao didn't flutter, and said with a smile, "Three billion is nothing, the market is so big, it is estimated that there will be a single movie that breaks three billion." ”

"It depends on when Director Li's film will be released. Xu Zheng complimented him slightly, and said impatiently curious, but I'm really curious, what kind of subject matter did he let Optoelectronics reject Director Li's script?

Other people are also full of curiosity, and now the upper echelons of the film industry have basically spread that Li Qian's script has been killed, but there is no way to know what the script is, and Optoelectronics has not revealed the news.

Normal script review is started by optoelectronic staff, generally up to the deputy director or director of the production department of the Film Bureau, the director of the General Administration does not care about this kind of big thing, and the director of the film bureau will not care about this kind of thing, unless it is a special film.

Li Qian didn't go through this procedure, anyway, he was also the object of key observation, and directly handed the script to the director of the production department, after all, he was in charge of script review, and it was not good to pass him and hand it directly to the senior management.

Show it to the leader first, and then go through the procedure if it's okay.

This also led to the fact that the script of "Destiny Flight" was actually killed by the General Administration and other ministries and commissions before going through the procedure, so no one could find the filing information when they went to optoelectronics, except for the leaders of the General Administration and relevant ministries and commissions involved in the review, no one knew what the film was.

The more I don't know, the more curious I become, people are like this.

Everyone here is his own people, and Li Qian doesn't hide it from them.

"Actually, it's nothing, it's just the story of a ghost flight, a plane that has crashed, and suddenly appears five years later.

Five years have passed in reality, and the people on the plane just take off and land as usual, thinking that only a few hours later, the plot tells the story of a family after losing their time for five years. ”

“......”

Everyone was slightly stunned, and immediately reacted.

"M Airlines?"

"It's not M Airlines, it takes off in 15 years and lands in 20 years. Li Qian shook his head, and then smiled again, "However, it seems that it will have to be changed to 16 years." ”

"But it's hard not to think of that. ？”

"Otherwise, the script wouldn't have been beaten back. Li Qian said.

"But, just because of this, I can't say it, Mi Lijian's side doesn't still have a movie about 9 units. ”

"It's different. Li Qian shook his head, "9 things have already been determined, and M Hang has not yet made a final conclusion, anyway, before the matter is concluded, it will not be given."

Moreover, a few days ago, there was a lot of trouble, and the chief of the Indian police semi-openly said that he had talked to the chief of the Malaysian police, and he knew what was going on on the plane, but he just refused to say it.

The former owner of Air France also publicly said that the plane was most likely shot down by Mi Lijian's military in order to prevent a similar incident from happening in September. ”

Even the statement that the rice army shot down came out, and everyone who listened to it was stunned, "Isn't this the same as the melon-eating masses on the Internet?"

"It's the same, those high-level people are also people, no different from ordinary people, all kinds of speculation. Li Qian said.

"It's still too sensitive, this sci-fi film, what's the big deal. Ning Hao complained, and this matter also made him feel deeply.

At the beginning, "No Man's Land" passed the review smoothly, and it was originally finalized, but Xinjiang suddenly had an accident, which caused the movie to be unable to be released.

Moreover, Li Qian wanted to shoot because he had an accident, and he had an accident after filming, so he was unlucky to get home.

Li Qian smiled, "I've long been used to the censorship system, and it's nothing, but I'm not making a science fiction film, to be precise, an emotional inspirational drama." ”

......

I didn't talk much about this thing, whether it was the matter itself or the script was not reviewed, it was not a topic to be happy about.

"By the way, I'm going to see the lion later, it's not far away, do you want to go with you if you have time?" Wu Jing suggested.

"How old are you, who still goes to the zoo. Xu Zheng couldn't help but complain.

"It's not going to the zoo to play, there will be lions in "Wolf Warrior 2", I plan to use real lions, and I'll go see it tomorrow. Wu Jing explained.

Real lions for filming?

Xu Zheng almost woke up from drinking, and the others were also puzzled.

"It's not long since I've used special effects, real lions, or lions, aren't you afraid of any accidents?"

This is not a cat, a dog or anything like that, even if it is a wolf, although adults will be scared and can't beat it, but at least there are so many people in the crew, it's still no problem to save your life.

But the lion can kill an adult in a short time, and there is no chance of backhanding, which is not a joke.

"I said to use special effects, he has to use real things. Li Qian said.

"The special effects are expensive, a lion group is not a few things to do, at least tens of millions, the cost is high, so you can save a little. Wu Jing explained.

Li Qian shook his head, "But the cost of 250 million is nothing, it is completely bearable, the cost is doubled, and the profit is no problem, Brother Jing, you don't need to save me money." ”

"The main reason for such a high cost is that I am not sure, so I can save a little. Wu Jing insisted.

The cost of 250 million, plus the cost of more than 300 million yuan in publicity, even if the first part is a big hit, the pressure on Wu Jing is not small.

The higher the cost, the more pressure he will have, and the money that can be avoided is to try not to spend as much as possible.

Moreover, such a complete personal hero is still the ultimate personal hero idea of Chinese soldiers on the land of Africa, if he loses money, Wu Jing can imagine what kind of voice will appear.

Compared with Wu Jing's cautiousness, Xu Zheng has much more confidence in him, "I have also read the script of "Wolf Warrior 2" a few times, this time the location takes place in Africa, and it is definitely more enjoyable to shoot than the first part, the first part is 800 million, and the second part is at least 1.5 billion yuan. ”

Guo Fan, who was planning a big production of four or five hundred million, also touched a cup with Wu Jing, "Yes, Brother Jing, don't save money for the boss, you see that I spend four or five hundred million on him is too little." ”

"Co-authoring is not your money, don't you feel distressed?" Li Qian was speechless.

"The money should be spent, just spend it on the blade, don't think about some blockbusters, hundreds of millions are not as good as 100 million, "Wolf Warrior 2" I estimate that if it can be released as planned for the Chinese New Year next year, the box office will be at least 2 billion yuan. ”

Two billion, and the bottom line!

That's an extraordinary prediction.

"Director Li, how much do you think "Hong Kong" can sell?" Xu Zheng couldn't help but ask.

""Hong Kong"... If you can maintain the level of "Thai Embarrassment", two billion will not run. Li Qian also gave a high number.

Of course, at the level of "Hong Kong" in memory, the most important role is Barium, don't think about 2 billion.

"By the way, Brother Zheng, has the casting of the actors been decided, when do you plan to start filming, you have to set the schedule in advance, and next year's Chinese New Year has already been set for "Wolf Warrior 2". Li Qian asked again.

"That's... I still have to think about the script again, and it will take some time, and it will be soon. Xu Zheng hesitated for a moment and said.

"Then it's either the Spring Festival in 16, or the New Year in 17 if you can't catch up, or the summer vacation, whatever you choose. Li Qian said, glancing at Wang Baoqiang, and his expression was not quite right for a moment.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Qian can probably understand that it is estimated that it is still money.

After "Thai Embarrassment" and "Detective Chinatown", in comedy movies, Wang Baoqiang is also qualified to become a shareholder, just like Xu Zheng and Huang Bo invested in "Heart Flower Road" with a salary, and the share is still quite a lot, full 18%.

Comedy is different from other genres, the importance of the protagonist is undoubted, and it is an action movie compared to comedy, but except for Cheng Long and Li Lianjie in China, no one is eligible to join the shares.

Even Donnie Yen can only participate in the investment dividends of the "Ip Man" series, and other films are not his turn.

And there are more comedians who are qualified to share the cake, Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, Wang Baoqiang, and Shen Teng, although there is only one "Charlotte Troubles", but anyone with a discerning eye can see that he is the most important person in that film.

It is estimated that Xu Zheng has already talked to Wang Baoqiang, and if he doesn't talk about it, he will change actors.

Li Qian still wants to talk to them separately later, and it is best to continue this duo, to be honest, the two of them are a perfect match, and in terms of entertainment, they are simply the best duo in the mainland.

However, when Li Qian was thinking about it, Wang Baoqiang suddenly spoke, "Director Li, do you think I can make movies as a director myself?"

"Protect the wall, you want to make a movie?" Li Qian didn't react for a moment.

"Yes, I also want to improve myself, and I have read a lot of directing books this year, and I plan to go to film school to further my education. Wang Baoqiang said firmly.

Li Qian is not sure that it is because the conversation with Xu Zheng has collapsed, Wang Baoqiang wants to be like Xu Zheng, make movies by himself, and don't have to look at other people's faces.

Or is it just to see that those laymen also come to make money in the movie industry, and I am moved to make money.

However, with all these years of getting along and understanding, although Wang Baoqiang is no longer the honest rural guy, his nature is still simple and kind, and he has not changed.

can make your own movies and invest by yourself, which is hundreds of millions, or even hundreds of millions, and the status of the industry is far from being comparable to that of actors, so it is difficult to guarantee that there will be no such constitution.

And, even so, it's human nature.

Li Qian didn't have a reason to block people's money, so he smiled and said, "Of course you can, directing is just a profession, anyone can be a person after learning." ”

After getting Li Qian's affirmation, Wang Baoqiang's eyes relaxed, after all, Li Qian's vision is unique in the industry, and he has never looked away.

"But!"

Li Qian's words changed, and his tone became a little serious, "The director is different from the actor, the actor is only responsible for his own performance, and the director is responsible for the overall situation and the whole movie, whether the audience sees gold or a piece of S, it all depends on the director's ability!"

"Director Li, rest assured, I will definitely make a good movie that the audience likes!" Wang Baoqiang hurriedly guaranteed the ticket.

"Hehe, it seems that we have another big director in our industry. Xu Zheng smiled and raised his glass.

"Protect the wall, do a good job. Ning Hao also had a drink with Wang Baoqiang.

Everyone toasted Wang Baoqiang's upcoming directorial career.

Immediately afterwards, Huang Bo thought about it and said his thoughts a little embarrassed.

"Actually, I also wanted to try to make a film and bring my ideas to the big screen for the audience to see. ”

One or two want to be directors, and everyone hasn't recovered from the news that Wang Baoqiang is going to cross the line, and they are surprised when they hear that Huang Bo is also going to be a director.

If you are a director, you should be a director, Li Qian didn't stop Wang Baoqiang, and there was no reason to stop Huang Bo.

Besides, no one is qualified to stop others from doing anything, even if it is just to make money.

Moreover, Xu Zheng also changed careers from an actor, Wu Jing too, and Guo Fan is still an artist who studies law.

Li Qian smiled, "I definitely support Brother Bo making a movie, just say what you need to help." ”

"It's not so fast, I'm really afraid of being scolded by the audience for making a bad movie, I plan to go to study for a year and study. Huang Bo said.

"Then congratulations to Hiroko in advance... No, it's Director Huang. Ning Hao smiled and raised his glass again.

Li Qian also raised his glass and laughed, "Let's touch one together, congratulations to our Director Wang and Director Huang for their future box office hits, and the praise is overwhelming!"

......

A celebration banquet celebrated two future directors.

Li Qian really doesn't know which movie was made by the two of them, but I hope it's a good film, at least don't get sprayed.

However, these two actors, who are not hyped and concentrate on filming, both want to be directors, so other famous actors are estimated to have been itching in their hearts when they see the movies of cross-industry directors selling well.

In the next few years, it is estimated that a large number of actors and celebrities will change careers to become directors.

Li Qian thought about the situation at that time, and his scalp was numb, this group of demons dancing wildly must be mostly bad movies.

......

After the celebration banquet ended, Li Qian, who had drunk some wine, rested in the hotel, but as soon as he lay down, he thought about his mobile phone.

It was Deng Chao who called.

As soon as it was connected, Deng Chao's somewhat anxious voice came from the mobile phone.

""The Breakup Master" is now scolding more and more on the Internet......"

Li Qian suddenly said, not to mention others, there is an actor among them who crosses the industry as a director to make movies, and was frantically complained by the audience, and it was a big hit at the box office.

"The Breakup Master" was released just in time for New Year's Day, and it is a comedy, with a box office of 250 million in the first four days of the first weekend, which is a proper hit, and it is simply a model of cross-industry directors.
