How can that be?"

Along the way, Huang Zhongjun's anger did not disappear at all, and when he returned to the office of Huayang Media, the exit was a rather cultured idiom.

"What's wrong with Big Brother?"

Huang Zhongjun, who had been waiting, was a little inexplicable, didn't Han Sanping invite him over to discuss the schedule arrangements of each family in the second half of this year, why was he so angry.

And it didn't take long, so soon to negotiate?

""I Am Legend" will be released on December 23, one day later than our "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2"; the "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" directed and acted by Wu Jing will be released on September 28, one day later than "Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire"; and "Time Planning Bureau" will be released on the first day of the Lunar New Year. ”

Huang Zhongjun said, sitting down on a chair, his face full of gloom.

“？”

Huang Zhonglei was stunned, both movies were released with them every other day, and one also coincided with the Spring Festival holiday of "New Shaolin Temple", which was all done together.

How can this be, isn't it coordination, just such a result?

"Big brother, what's wrong, didn't you go to discuss?"

"Discuss, discuss!"

Huang Zhongjun immediately roughly said the content of the "consultation", where was the discussion, after he finished speaking, Li Qian followed and said a sentence, and chose a similar day.

"This Li Qian is too arrogant, do you really think there is no time to miss?"

Huang Zhonglei was also angry when he heard it, the three movies were all right, who did he look down on.

"Hmph. ”

Huang Zhongjun had a cold face and said word by word, "I still don't believe it, those four movies can all be a big hit!"

People always believe in successful people, and believe that successful people will always succeed, just like the film industry is superstitious about big directors and superstars.

But things must be opposed, and to a certain extent, they will also arouse suspicion, and there will always be those who do not believe in evil.

A movie produced by Li Qian is about to be released, and with the previous experience, everyone thinks it will still be a big hit.

But these three consecutive movies have been released in turn, even if there is a golden sign of Li Qian, I will think that it is impossible for all of them to be a big hit, and there will always be a box office hit.

If you confess to a girl, there is a high probability that you will be rejected, but at the same time you confess a hundred times, there will always be one successful, don't believe it on the road.

In addition, he was also stimulated, and when Huang Zhongjun left, he postponed "New Shaolin Temple" to the first day of the Lunar New Year, and released it at the same time as "Time Planning Bureau".

However, after calming down, Huang Zhongjun still regretted being too angry, he sighed, "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" and "I Am a Legend" are open in five or five, "Di Renjie's Heavenly Empire" and Wu Jing's self-directed and self-starred "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", the National Day file should be stable, and the Spring Festival is actually not necessary. ”

"Di Renjie" is one of the five first-line stars, "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" is just a modern action movie, this genre can't sell at the box office, and Huang Zhongjun is not worried at all.

The post-apocalyptic sci-fi genre of "I Am Legend" is very attractive, but "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb 2" is Ma Xiaogang's film, which is enough.

After "The Great Earthquake" sold 670 million, Huang Zhongjun already had absolutely blind confidence in Ma Xiaogang.

"New Shaolin Temple" Cheng Long + Liu Dehua, there is no need to say much, but Guo Fan, the director of "Time Planning Bureau", is not a newcomer, he is famous, and this title is a time-related science fiction film.

Huang Zhonglei said, "Big brother, you are too worried, what a doomsday blockbuster, I think this year is the end of Li Qian." ”

said this, as if Li Qian was about to hang up.

However, Huang Zhongjun said curiously, "What do you say?"

Huang Zhonglei smiled and said, "Otherwise, other directors can be laid off, our companies will simply close their doors, and he Li Qian will invest in more than a dozen movies alone, and the market for the whole year will be rounded, and there will be nothing to do with others!"

If you think about it, too.

Three movies were released in four months last year, and four movies were released in five months in the second half of this year, and if it goes on like this, when Li Qian supports a few more newcomer directors, ten movies will be released a year sooner or later.

If all of them are big hits, then these film companies can really close their doors.

But, is it possible?

Obviously it can't be, there is no such thing in any industry.

Thinking of this, Huang Zhongjun smiled quite confidently, "In the past three years, this Li Qian has been magical enough, so let's end Li Qian's magic this time!"

"By the way, inform Xu Ke and Ma Xiaogang of the release time, and get Ma Xiaogang's new contract as soon as possible. At the end, Huang Zhongjun said again.

This Huang Zhonglei was a little embarrassed, "Big brother, we should have signed a new contract before the release of "Tangshan Earthquake", and now it has sold more than 600 million, Ma Xiaogang is getting more and more grasped, and he refuses to sign it now, saying that he is too busy this year, and he wants to rest, and he will talk about it next year." ”

"Try your best, but don't push too hard. ”

Huang Zhongjun also has a headache, the big sale of "The Great Earthquake" also has troubles, and Ma Xiaogang's new contract has to be bloody again.

And now he has made it clear that he will wait for the release of "If You Are the Truth 2" to be sold at a price, God knows what price will be offered next year.

But there is no way, a Li Qian dares to harden himself in front of so many company CEOs, let alone Ma Xiaogang.

Now there is no shortage of capital in the industry, there is no shortage of film companies, there is a lack of Li Qian, and the next Ma Xiaogang.

It is more difficult for ordinary directors to attract investment than to ascend to the sky, but as long as Ma Xiaogang and Li Qian open their mouths, they will send a lot of money to the door.

......

Xu Ke and Ma Xiaogang immediately received a call from Huang Zhonglei, telling them the time of the movie's release and the opponents they were facing.

Xu Ke is very calm, how chaotic the Xiangjiang film industry was back then, I haven't seen anything, and it's not uncommon to ask you to make a movie with a gun.

Moreover, he has absolute confidence in his films, and martial arts films are his old profession.

Even, now Xu Ke is not putting his mind on "Di Renjie", he is already determined to win, and he is preparing for the next film.

Ma Xiaogang is not as calm as Xu Ke, but he is not very angry that Li Qian's new movie is scheduled to be released at the same time as himself.

On the contrary, he was very happy and even wanted to laugh.

At the beginning of the summer file, Li Qian inexplicably stood up for "Tangshan Earthquake" on Weibo, Ma Xiaogang felt that something was wrong, where did Li Qian have such a good heart.

Sure enough, this Chinese New Year stall wants to come and touch it head-on.

Such a good opportunity to educate Li Qian was still sent to the door on his own initiative, how could Ma Xiaogang be unhappy, he had been waiting for this day for a long time!

As for what post-apocalyptic sci-fi blockbuster, after "The Great Earthquake" sold 670 million, Ma Xiaogang didn't care about it at all.

Now, he has a kind of self-respecting posture.

As for the new contract that Huang Zhonglei said, Ma Xiaogang still said that he was too tired this year and wanted to rest, so he didn't have the heart to think about anything else, and he would talk about it next year.

Working for others is not happy after all, so why can't you work for yourself.

......

On the other side, Li Qian, who deliberately found faults, also had a meal with Han Sanping and them, and they didn't care how to do it when they talked about things.

After Huang Zhongjun left, he was much more harmonious, talking and laughing, and he was in a harmonious mood.

When it came to the dinner table, there was nothing serious to talk about, but Yang Hunting Cheng and Zhuang Cheng tested Han Sanping, and what did they think about their preparation to enter the mainland film industry in an all-round way.

Of course, Han Sanping expressed his full support for them and welcomed them to contribute to the domestic film industry and work together for the film industry.

There is also the comeback of Zhang Bozhi and Zhong Xintong, Yinghuang Ke has never given up, Zhong Xintong and Cai Zhuoyan participated in the show in Xiangjiang many times in March and April, planning to debut again as a group.

However, Han Sanping did not say anything.

And then there's Pony's "No Man's Land", don't think about it, the events in Western Xinjiang last year have just passed, and at this time, the words on this film are too sensitive.

However, it has no impact on Ning Hao, and "No Man's Land" has nothing to do with it, but it just happens that the background location is a little sensitive, and it is purely unlucky that it will be released for two years.

The guests and hosts are happy, and they are very happy to eat a meal, this kind of high-end club... It's not that kind of club, the chef's craftsmanship is not said.

After dinner, Li Qian also went back to the studio and told them about the release time of the movie.

Li Qian had told them about the approximate schedule before, and there was nothing good about it.

Su Lun has the least pressure, he can lose without pressure at all, and there are two Hollywood movies in the same period.

Although Guo Fan has to face "New Shaolin Temple", last year's "People in Embarrassment" was also proud of the Spring Festival.

is also Wu Jing Alexander, who was originally a director who had just made a movie, met Xu Ke, Wu Yusen, and Donnie Yen, who was popular, and he didn't even have the qualifications to be pressured.

However, who made this film supervised by Li Qian, and the production cost was 30 million, which is a lot.

In case he loses money again and messes up Li Qian's golden signboard, it will be difficult to do.

However, "I Am Legend" was released a day after "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb 2", and Li Qian's choice made them not expect.

Could it be that it was deliberately aimed at Ma Xiaogang?

Zhang Yimou, Chen Kaige, Chen Kexin, and Ma Xiaogang, Wu Yusen, and Zhou Xingchi are left.

"Boss, don't you have a philatelic lover, and want to do every big director?" Guo Fan said after a moment of silence.

“...”

"Can you speak well?" Li Qian was full of black lines.

When people who don't know hear this, they think they have some quirks.

Although this is not the other, Su Lun and Wu Jing are still holding back their laughter.

"I said Lao Guo, you are a student of law, why are you so unscrupulous in your speech?" Wu Jing criticized seriously.

What did I say?

Guo Fan was confused, but he didn't dwell on this, but talked about his business.

"Boss, I found a good story some time ago, and I'm going to adapt it, do you want to do it?"

"you, finish the later stage of "Time Planning Bureau" first, half-heartedly, people like you deserve to be single!"

After scolding angrily, Li Qian entered the computer room, closed the door, and did his job.

"I'm single... I don't know how many little girls like me. ”

"Do they like that?" asked Su Lun rhetorically.

.......

Outside the door, they chatted and joked, but Li Qian turned a deaf ear.

The rough cut and re-cut of "I Am Legend" were already done during the shooting, and I didn't shoot in advance, so I looked at the washed out material, and handed it over to the editor for rough cut and re-cut first.

Editing is not difficult, there are few scenes, the narrative is concise and single, there are few characters, and most of the shots are almost not considered.

It's mainly a two-line narrative and a character anti-hero.

According to Li Qian's memory, those Hollywood superhero movies, or the role of the actor saving the world, will be in order to highlight the mystery of the character and reduce the cost of character building.

This kind of role is above ordinary people, and it is the image of a savior.

In fact, it is similar to the tall and complete characters in the main theme film and television dramas.

This kind of film will appropriately reduce the portrayal of the characters, thus causing the flattening and stereotyping of the characters in superhero movies.

And for "I Am Legend", although the actor is a legend, just like the title of the film, it has become the hope of saving all mankind.

It does not follow the traditional model of hero building, but avoids these routine character attributes, and instead shapes the image of the protagonist as an ordinary person in mainstream society with a very breakthrough idea.

Although the identity is extraordinary, the military virus research expert, the rank of colonel, 90% of ordinary people will never come into contact with this kind of person in their lifetime.

However, in addition to his identity, he is an ordinary person, he has neither an indestructible shell, nor the superpower to give the enemy a fatal blow, nor the image of a traditional hero who is forever outside the mainstream society and the sense of distance that people feel.

It takes a lot of shots to create such an ordinary person, and it is also necessary for a double-line narrative.

Otherwise, the editing can be a little old-fashioned, focusing all the meetings of the male protagonist on the opening credits, as a preface, overture and other clips.

In the dream, the past of things is retraced through flashbacks, allowing the audience to re-enter the inner world of the character himself from a level-headed angle, which narrows the emotional and distance between the protagonist and the audience from the perspective of image psychology, and also makes the character become unprecedented three-dimensional and layered.

Moreover, unlike "blockbusters", "I Am Legend" attaches more importance to the plot, rather than attracting people by stimulating the eyeballs.

Of course, traditional disaster movies are a group of people resisting disasters, but this movie is one person, and if you don't focus on the plot, you can't do it.

Films with heavy plots also have high requirements for editing, but such a single-character movie reduces the trouble of editing.

But it's still a test of skill, just that night when all the iron doors of the house were closed, the shot of grabbing and huddled in the bathtub with the dog, through the overhead lens, slowly panned, and fixed on Liu Ye's face close-up.

The traditional routine, here should be given a close-up of nearly two seconds, showing the emotions of the characters at the time, because this way of sleeping is not normal.

But Li Qian didn't have it here, just when the camera just moved to Liu Ye's face, Li Qian cut it out.

There is no superfluous rendering of the atmosphere, locking the iron door in front, closing the window, and holding the dog and curling up in the bathtub are enough to express this tense atmosphere.

It's good to put the finishing touch, but it's often overlooked.

stopped abruptly when the camera moved to Liu Ye's face, and the whole night made the audience think about how dangerous and lonely it was.

followed by the previous memories, the memories in the dream are also the critical juncture of the evacuation of the magic capital Pudong area.

Sleeping was supposed to be a very peaceful thing, but after receiving a tense memory plot, it can echo the situation of the male protagonist.

Moreover, recalling that at a critical juncture, the actor woke up, but when he woke up, he was not sleeping in the bathtub, but in bed.

It's also very ingenious, why do you wake up in bed?

Uncomfortable sleeping in the bathtub?

Surely, the bathtub is not a place to sleep.

But that's not the main thing, it doesn't matter if it's comfortable or not at this time, it's good to wake up alive.

What happened halfway, was it a fright, an accident, or something that made the actor go back to bed and fall asleep.

Or it's just that it's just uncomfortable to sleep, and it's reverie again.

There are still many details that still have to be mastered, a person's movie, especially the details and rhythm.

But overall, it's relatively easy to do.

Time always flies quickly, day by day, and the fine cut of "I Am Legend" was completed after 20 days, and the last composite cut was missing.

At the end of September, the National Day file is also coming!
