Chapter 400: Uneducated Guy

Airport.

Guo Fanzheng and Li Qian said goodbye with affectionate faces.

"I'm leaving!"

"Take care!"

"See you in two years!"

"Well, go ahead. ”

"I'm leaving!"

"Hurry up. ”

"Why do you seem to want me to go, you don't say anything at all!"

"If you don't leave, you're still grinding here, the planes are flying over the Pacific Ocean, hurry up. ”

"I'm going to go for two years, so you didn't give up on me?"

"Do you want me to cry to you?"

“... That's fine, cry affectionately. ”

"Crying and mourning, do you want one?"

"Okay!"

"Roll the calves!"

.......

A few people pretended to laugh and scold for a while, and Guo Fan held the suitcase, and said to Li Qian and them with a proud face, "You can just look at it, when I come back in two years, I will definitely make a sci-fi blockbuster that blinds your eyes!"

After saying that, he turned around and left quite chicly.

"Let's go, too. ”

Li Qian beckoned everyone to leave the airport and get into his business car.

As soon as he got in the car, Qi Yukun sighed with emotion, "Lao Guo used to shout every day to make a sci-fi blockbuster, but I didn't expect to do it one day." ”

Su Lun smiled, "I went to Hollywood to study for two years, and with this perseverance, how can I believe that he can really shoot it?"

Wen Muye said, "Although Lao Guo sometimes doesn't have a good line, it can be seen that he really likes science fiction and wants to make a good science fiction blockbuster." ”

Li Qian said with a smile, "If he doesn't shoot well, I will pick up all the skin for him, and the cost of 400 million yuan will not be worth so much if I sell him." ”

"Haha....." everyone laughed.

.......

sent Guo Fan away, and Warner will arrange for him to study in a big production crew.

Although the cost of "The Wandering Earth" will cost about 400 million, it will be two years later when Guo Fan comes back to start preparations.

The money for the acquisition of the digital field was basically recovered from the adaptation rights of "Jaws 3", and the funds were still abundant.

The digital field has been acquired, and it is about to join the creation of Xu Ke's "Ghost Blowing the Lamp".

But not yet, Zhong Lifang is starting to divide the digital field and bring a lot of business to domestic branches.

There are a group of special effects engineers who are willing to come to China, and the domestic branch itself has acquired a special effects company, plus several technical experts who are close to retirement have been rehired in China, which is enough to support the special effects of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern".

In fact, there are special effects experts in China, and a professor at Beijing Normal University has served as the director of Industrial Light & Magic.

However, these big bulls are basically art-based, unlike Hollywood engineering-based.

Most of the shots of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" can be done in the domestic branch of the digital field, which is technically sufficient, and there will not be many shots that need to be taken to the digital field in North America, and the cost of 200 million should be enough.

Anyway, Xu Ke himself is the kind of imaginative technical control, and he went to ponder with the special effects company in this regard, and Li Qian did not interfere.

Other projects are not rookie directors, whether it is the sequel to Xu Zheng's "People in Embarrassment" or Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior", they are all relatively mature directors, and Li Qian doesn't need to ask anything.

......

Before the National Day, the 7-day screening of "Truman's World" even overshadowed the limelight of many movies in the National Day file.

It is really every movie in the National Day file that can be played, and the first "Tongquetai" to be released fired the first shot of the National Day file.

However, the blockbuster starring Zhou Yunfa and Liu Yufei only got more than 6 million box office on the first day.

Of course, in the news, "Tongquetai" became the first day to break 10 million.

But all this kind of news, and none of the news that reports on the box office has an exact number, is basically water-injected.

The film schedule is the most sufficient, there is no opponent, and he only got 6 million on the first day, which is like rushing to grandma's house.

The whole movie is basically a change in the sky, and the four stars are one, so Cao Cao's son and subordinates plan to take this opportunity to promote the registration of Emperor Chan of Han Xian and Cao Cao.

Then the other princes were also in action, and the heroine played by Liu Yufei was taken captive by the army and trained as a killer to assassinate Cao Cao, followed by a series of sieges and love-hate hatreds.

The other princes wanted to kill Cao Cao, Liu Xie wanted to kill Cao Cao, Queen Fu wanted to kill Cao Cao, and even Cao Pi couldn't wait, and wanted to sand sculpt Cao Cao instead, and also occupied the queen.

The behind-the-scenes lineup of the movie is very strong, Zhang Yimou's royal photographer Zhao Xiaoding, the first recording engineer in China Tao Jing, Xi Zhongwen, who won the Best Modeling Award at the Academy Awards, Mei Linmao, the master of the Japanese Bon Palace-level soundtrack, and the god of film art, Yanghei Taneda, non-top directors can't make up this behind-the-scenes lineup.

However, with Zhao Linshan, the advertising director who made a movie for the first time, what he got was a big bad movie.

The inspiration for the movie still came from Cao Cao's tomb, when it was dug up, there was a young woman's skeleton in the coffin, so the director specifically aimed at Cao Cao's tomb and filmed this story that depicts the elderly Cao Cao's strategy, military, love and his poetry.

In the past, everyone criticized domestic costume films, and said that costume films were just a group of ancients fighting, but this film is good, and the whole article is chattering that Cao Cao was originally a good person.

Liu Yufei, the assassin, was also impressed by Cao Cao, and most of her scenes were spent talking about how great Cao Cao was.

used to scold director Xiangjiang for making costume films blindly, and he didn't have any historical common sense, but this time this director is not as good as director Xiangjiang's filming.

The first blockbuster of the National Day file hit the streets, and "Tai Chi 1" released on the 27th was similar, with 8 million on the first day.

This film is quite old, it is the story of a fool who becomes a grandmaster, and the whole is nondescript, mixing kung fu, steampunk, video games, comics and other elements, and the result is four dissimilarities.

Players who like martial arts RPGs are estimated to be interested, every time this film goes to a new scene, it will jump out of the village gate, pharmacy, ancestral hall, and game-style subtitles like a certain mountain, just like the game map.

This series of two parts, with a total investment of more than 200 million yuan, and the box office of 8 million on the first day of the first part is already hitting the street.

The National Day file was wiped out, and there were two romance films starring Zhang Ziyi and Fan Binbin, and the box office was almost waiting, and in the end it barely broke 100 million.

......

On September 29, this year's Hundred Flowers Award Ceremony was also held in Shaoxing, and Li Qian also appeared with a large group of people.

"I Am Not the God of Medicine" was nominated for basically all awards except for Best Newcomer and Best Actress.

Several other films were also nominated, but only "33 Days of Broken Love" was nominated for four awards: Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor and Best Actress.

In the red carpet waiting area, the star flavor is dim, only a few crew members on Li Qian's side are more, and there are few first-line stars.

Looking at the few famous actors and directors around, Li Qian shook his head, "This Hundred Flowers Award can be regarded as a game." ”

Deng Chao half-jokingly said, "The Federation of Literary and Art Circles has been on the top for too long, but in fact, they don't care about these actors and directors in the industry." ”

"If you want to maintain their status and authority, you can't pay attention to them in the future. ”

Li Qian scoffed, there have been too many controversies in the past few years, not only the audience is dissatisfied, but the actors and directors in the industry are also very unhappy.

This year is good, everyone simply stopped coming.

At the opening ceremony a few days ago, only Xie Tingfeng was the first-line actor present, and the other first-line stars were the popular singer Pan Weibo.

Two first-line stars came to cheer, which directly forced the organizing committee to cancel the red carpet of the opening ceremony, which caused a big laugh.

Generous questions from all sides were overwhelming, and the vice chairman of the organizing committee said that there was no red carpet at the opening ceremony of the Hundred Flowers Award.

There have been opening ceremonies for every previous session, could it be spontaneous?

The organizing committee was also stubborn, and directly said that the big-name stars were afraid of losing face if they didn't win the award, so they didn't come to participate.

also said that the celebrities and big names are all brought out by the film festival, and they won't come to the film festival when they win the award, and they are also very depressed.

Stars from all walks of life really don't give face, and none of them come, and the director of "Tongquetai" is even more disrespectful to the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers, "I only heard about this film festival 3 days ago!"

It's very rigid, but he is an advertising director, and he can also round the past.

Having a background is hardness.

All kinds of big stars and directors are tougher than before, but in fact, they still make more money now, have a lot of influence, and have a high social status, so they don't want to be angry, so they simply don't come.

However, the dim starry Hundred Flowers Award did not delay people to make money at all.

In the past, the highest ticket price of Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers was 1880 yuan, this year's lowest seat was 1680 yuan, and the highest even reached 5680 yuan.

If this was a company, it would have gone out of business a long time ago, that is, the official has this confidence.

Even so, the tickets are still not sold, and the closing ceremony is quite lively, after all, the awards are going to be awarded.

However, among the first-line actors present, Li Qian's side accounted for half.

Walk the red carpet boringly, sit at the Keqiao Textile City International Convention and Exhibition Center, and wait for the closing ceremony to begin.

In fact, this kind of film festival is boring if you participate in it too much, and it remains the same every year.

Officials from all walks of life spoke one by one, and then there was a show.

There is nothing to see in the show, but the performers have a big coffee position, and Cheng Long sang in the finale this year.

There was almost no suspense at the awards ceremony, and Tranquility and Sun Alcohol in "Xinhai Revolution" won the best supporting actor and actress.

At the same time, "Xinhai Revolution" and "Tangshan Earthquake" jointly won excellent feature films, and "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" is a bit regrettable.

There is no way, this year's 100th anniversary of the Xinhai Revolution, even if the crew of "I Am Not the God of Medicine" does not receive anything, "Xinhai Revolution" must also win an award.

The former was sprayed by the organizing committee at most, and the ostrich was over.

If the latter were the case, the Federation of Literary and Art Circles would have been purged.

After Tong Liya successfully won the first Hundred Flowers Film with "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", there was no big surprise, "Warm and Containing Light" should be won.

Xu Zheng achieved the grand slam of the mainland film festival and won the Hundred Flowers actor.

The best screenwriter, best director, and best film in the back are all "I Am Not the God of Medicine", which also achieved the grand slam of the mainland film festival.

The best film is generally accepted by the producer, but the producer is also Li Qian, and only the stage is left again.

After coming to the stage three times, Li Qian could only thank him again.

In order to appear less monotonous, the host didn't let Li Qian go down so quickly and asked about Chong Ao.

"Director Li, "Truman's World" will be a landmark mainland film to compete for the Oscars next year, do you have confidence in this Olympics?"

Isn't this a vain question, do you still say that you have no faith?

Li Qian looked at the thousands of filmmakers and audiences in the audience who were full of expectations, thought about it, nodded and said, "I have confidence in my movie, but after all, it is a Hollywood award, I can only say that I will try not to disappoint everyone." ”

In fact, the older generation of filmmakers pay the most attention to the matter of Chong Olympics, and most of the older generation of filmmakers in their fifties and sixties in the audience still have great expectations for Li Qian.

Although commercial films do not meet their appetites, realistic movies like "I Am Not the God of Medicine" still catch their eyes, and Li Qian is not like other commercial film directors, and his senses are still good.

After a few casual speeches, Li Qian also stepped down, and then the vice chairman of the organizing committee came to the stage to speak.

Return to your position with the trophy in your hand as a sign of respect or in your arms.

Although Li Qian doesn't care much, whether it is the best director or the best picture, for others, it is unattainable.

Xu Zheng, who just won the best actor, stared eagerly at the trophy of best director in Li Qian's hand, he is not only an actor, but also a director, he has proven himself at the box office, his debut film has broken 200 million, and the award is also being pursued.

Another hot eye is Teng Huatao, while his eyes are hot, he secretly said in his heart that it is a pity, this year Baihua met Li Qian's "I am not the God of Medicine", otherwise he would have a chance.

However, Li Qian's next film is a comedy, no longer this kind of theme, and his new film still has a chance.

His new film is already preparing a script, this time it is adapted by Bao Jingjing, and it is also a love theme, but after the box office success, Teng Huatao's ambitions are even greater.

He is no longer satisfied with the simple box office, and plans to add something deeper to the movie, both commercial and artistic!

Li Qian was a little tired holding the trophy, and he respected the film festival very much after holding it for so long, so he simply stuffed one in each of the hands of Deng Chao and Wang Baoqiang, who were empty-handed next to him, to share the burden.

I haven't seen Wang Baoqiang for a long time, and for more than a year, the company has not had a suitable film for him, but it is a bit of a disadvantage to him, Li Qian thought about it and smiled at him, "Baoqiang, I have an idea recently, and I will tailor a movie for you after a while." ”

However, to Li Qian's surprise, Wang Baoqiang didn't look very happy at all when he heard this, but instead stared at Li Qian with a resentful face, opened his mouth, and didn't say anything.

“???”

What kind of expression is this, shouldn't you be happy?

Or is it that the film tailored to him is not attractive?

It shouldn't be!

At this time, Deng Chao suddenly couldn't help laughing, patted his thigh, and laughed happily, "You said this to Baoqiang a year and a half ago, and he has been waiting for you for more than a year." ”

"Is there such a thing?" Li Qian was stunned.

"At that time, our company had just been established, and I came to the company with Baoqiang. Deng Chao reminded.

It is generally inappropriate to say this kind of thing in front of the boss, but everyone is friends, and Li Qian's character Deng Chao also knows that if he says something about his own people, he must be too busy to forget.

Moreover, although he and Wang Baoqiang are the only two first-line actors in the company, there is no competition at all, not to mention that he just acted in "Truman's World", and there is a "When Happiness Knocks on the Door" waiting for him.

Saying this, Li Qian remembered it, as if he had really said it, no wonder Wang Baoqiang's expression of resentment.

Li Qian smiled apologetically, "I really forgot, I'm sorry to protect the wall, I'll find a suitable director to prepare when I'm busy with the New Year." ”

"It's okay boss, I have a play now. ”

What else could Wang Baoqiang do, he could only touch his head, smile innocently, and repeatedly said that he was fine.

Year after year, if Li Qian waited tomorrow and forgot about it, he couldn't help it.

"Director Li, is it a comedy tailored for the wall?" Xu Zheng asked curiously.

"Yes, it's mostly comedy, but there's something else. Li Qian nodded.

Xu Zheng immediately felt a little nervous in his heart, originally Zhou Xingchi did not come out of the mountain, Ma Xiaogang changed careers, and Ning Hao and Huang Bo were left in the domestic comedy market.

He himself has "People in Embarrassment", which broke 200 million, and it can be said that he has a huge advantage in comedy.

But Zhou Xingchi's new film was released, and Li Qian made a comedy again, and now he has to tailor a comedy for Wang Baoqiang, and the competition in the comedy field has come up all of a sudden.

But more of a happy for Wang Baoqiang, a grassroots can come to this point, unless the heart is dark and wants others to be good, they will bless and encourage him, after all, it is not easy.

......

The Hundred Flowers Award was over, and Li Qian also left the venue with everyone.

I said hello to other colleagues at the door of the venue, and I also met Huang Zhonglei, who came with the crew of "Tangshan Earthquake", Ma Xiaogang didn't come, he had to come.

Looking at Teng Huatao, who was walking with Li Qian, coupled with the failure of the summer file, the box office of "Tai Chi 1" in the National Day file was not good, and Huang Zhonglei, who had never encountered anything comfortable in the second half of the year, was about to burst into flames.

"Hi, Mr. Huang, long time no see. ”

Li Qian, who was in a good mood, waved his hand and greeted Huang Zhongjun with a smile.

This scene fell in Huang Zhonglei's eyes, more like sarcasm and showing off, he stared at Li Qian coldly, spit out a "phew" in his mouth imperceptibly, turned around and left.

"An uneducated guy who doesn't understand any manners. ”

Li Qian spread his hands, feeling bored.

Everyone couldn't help laughing, this Li Qian was sometimes quite damaged.
