Chapter 29: It's Time to Prepare a New Movie! (Ask for Recommendation Votes!)
Relying on the news of Ma Xiaogang, the box office of "Sniper Phone Booth" exploded for two days, but that's all.
The box office ceiling of a big online movie depends on how many members the video site has, and it is difficult to make much of a breakthrough at the box office just by relying on the good movies alone.
"Sniper Phone Booth" was able to set a new record within 13 days of its launch, becoming the first big online movie to break 10 million, which is already the limit, after all, this movie is not a must-see.
On the 19th, the effective clicks slipped sharply, only 214,000.
The box office of 1.07 million was harvested in a single day, and the total box office came to 11.54 million, which was setting new records every day.
However, mainstream film circles began to take notice of the film,
In order to expand more member users, Galaxy Video also found some reporters and film critics to hype up online movies, and they all boasted that online movies are not much different from cinema movies.
Soon, there was a new topic on the Internet that caused a lot of discussion.
Whether a big online movie is a movie or not.
Of course, in addition to the media found by video websites, mainstream filmmakers don't admit that big online movies are also movies.
This is definitely inconclusive, only a little lively.
However, in the end, "Sniper Phone Booth" is out of the circle, and the last online movie that came out of the circle was a 20-minute short film "A Bloody Case Caused by Steamed Buns" the year before last.
At that time, "Wuji" was ridiculed, and this "A Bloody Case Caused by a Steamed Bun" became popular on the Internet less than a month after it was uploaded, and the entire entertainment industry knew about this short film.
Even when "Wuji" landed on the video website in early 2006, the number of clicks and downloads was not as good as "A Bloody Case Caused by a Steamed Bun".
Cheng Kaige was so angry that he was going to sue the producer of the short film.
The outing of "Sniper Phone Booth" also brought the name Li Qian into the eyes of some film and television companies.
After all, the quality of the movie is there, unlike other online universities, even if some have sold millions of box office, but the quality is really indescribable.
And although suspense movies are niche and low-cost, they are perfect as a genre for low-budget movies.
However, those film and television companies couldn't contact Li Qian, and there were only a few people who knew his phone number.
Lei Jiayin showed superb acting skills in this movie, and some film and television companies have contacted him, although they are all supporting roles, but compared to a month ago, the situation can be described as very different.
All of this depends on Li Qian's movie, and without Li Qian's consent, he naturally won't reveal his phone number casually.
Lu Entai can't do it, Qi Yukun, Guo Fan, and those film and television companies can't be contacted.
As for Galaxy Video, it is even more impossible for those film and television companies to poach Li Qian to make theatrical movies, they are all waiting for Li Qian's next movie.
Chen Hai was even given a death order, he had to ask Li Qian to prepare a new film within a week, during this time he didn't have to do anything, just stared at Li Qian, and sent him directly to Donghua.
If he wasn't afraid that Li Qian would be annoyed, he would have made eight calls a day to urge.
......
Li Qian was really annoyed, and he called every day, and even the non-stick pan company that had asked him to shoot TV shopping advertisements before called to say that he wanted to invest in his movies.
"Smack!"
The mobile phone slapped on the table, and Li Qian turned it off directly.
This number is a special work phone for the photography studio, and everyone in it has it, so I simply don't need it in the future.
Throwing the phone aside, Li Qian said to Qi Yukun and Guo Fan, "I have rested enough during this time, and I am ready to prepare for a new film, and everyone will come to the studio on time tomorrow, and I will arrange it." ”
"Director Li, have you prepared the script?" everyone was shocked.
It's been less than half a month since "Sniper Phone Booth" was launched, and even if it is seamless, the preparation will start as soon as the movie is launched, which is too fast, unless the script is written directly without thinking.
Li Qian shook his head, "Not yet, I have written two stories casually in the past few days, I just thought about which one to use, I will write the script tomorrow." ”
Qi Yukun said curiously, "Are they still suspenseful themes, can we take a look?"
Guo Fan also said, "I also want to see Director Li's new ideas." ”
Li Qian handed over a story that had been passed, not a script, just a short story of about 1,000 words.
In the past two days, Li Qian picked several small-budget films, wrote two stories by himself, and considered it for a few days before making up his mind which one to shoot.
Qi Yukun and Guo Fan hurriedly took the thin two pieces of paper, and the two of them read them carefully together.
A thousand words, even if you read them word by word, it won't be long.
After a while, the two of them finished reading.
"It's too ruthless!"
Seeing the end, the corners of Qi Yukun's mouth twitched.
Guo Fan was a little excited, "Exciting, if this story is made into a movie, the scene of amputation must be very exciting!"
The story is very simple, an outdoor enthusiast in the wilderness, came to a remote canyon, was stuck in the arm by a falling boulder and could not move, lonely trapped there for five days, and finally used a knife, it took more than an hour to cut off his entire arm and get out.
A small outdoor knife, without any medicine, amputated the other with one hand by himself.
And it's not cut at once, the knife is too small, and the person is too tired and hurty, so I watched it with my own eyes and cut it after cutting for more than an hour.
Just looking at this story, both of them couldn't help but gasp, unconsciously clenched their fists, and felt that their hands were still there, and their hearts were a little better.
Suddenly, Guo Fan snatched the paper full of words and looked at Li Qian expectantly.
"Director Li, why don't you let me shoot this story!"
Li Qian was stunned for a moment, "If you want it, take it, I'll write it casually." ”
Although he really wanted to keep Guo Fan as his royal art director, through this period of getting along, Li Qian also found that he underestimated his determination to become a director.
has a certain ability, has ideals, and has also helped himself a lot, Li Qian can pull a handful.
"You'll have to help with my next movie, though!"
Guo Fan was overjoyed and hurriedly said, "Director Li, don't worry, I will definitely not delay, when I am busy with the next film, I will prepare my own movie." ”
In the past few days, Guo Fan has not thought of some ideas and stories by himself, but they are not practical for him.
And now, there is a low-cost, difficult, simple, and creative story in front of him, how can Guo Fan not be happy, and even think that the movie was successfully filmed, and then it was well received and sold at the box office.
Just like a boy, sometimes when he sees a girl who is excited, he even thinks of the child's name in an instant.
And Qi Yukun on the side regretted that such a good story could not be more suitable as the first movie, even simpler and cheaper than "Sniper Phone Booth".
was a step too late and was snatched away by Guo Fan.
Li Qian looked at the time, "That's okay, I'll talk about it tomorrow, it's not too early, I'll wait to go out for something, and everyone will go back to prepare." ”
