Science fiction?

Post-apocalyptic sci-fi?

The first word came out of Li Qian's mouth, and the audience was not too surprised.

"Frequency of Life and Death" barely touches science fiction, after all, time and space travel.

Even if "Moon" is a low-cost sci-fi, it is no different from a feature film, and there is nothing high-tech, but it is a real sci-fi film.

However, the genre of apocalyptic science fiction made the reporters present a little stunned.

There are no science fiction films in China, let alone apocalyptic science fiction.

Even in Hollywood, there are very few science fiction films of this genre that are relatively well-known.

"Director Li, can you tell me what it is?"

"What kind of end times are they, the same as "The Day After Tomorrow" and "2012"?"

"Is it still small-budget sci-fi?"

......

Before the reporters could ask questions, Li Qian took the lead and left the noisy press conference.

Zhang Hanyu and the others also hurriedly went out, they were also a little curious, but Li Qian didn't want to say it, and it was not easy to ask.

Deng Chao is much more casual, after all, there is the identity of a fellow countryman.

"Director Li, is this sci-fi film that kind of hardcore sci-fi, about the end of the world?"

The Chinese New Year file "2012" has just been released, and the news of the end of the world in 2012 is constantly fermenting on the Internet, and people continue to use various information to prove that there is really an end of the world.

Netizens also coaxed together, and slowly turned out that the end of the world in 2012 was coming, and some people were really skeptical.

Deng Chao guessed whether Li Qian wanted to catch up with this topic and make an apocalyptic film.

Deng Chao, who is constantly making up for his brain, even thought about the release date.

"If it's really an apocalyptic film, it can be released on December 31, 12, and then it will be advertised that this is the last movie before the destruction of the world." ”

"What do you think? ”

Li Qian was speechless, this thinking spread quite quickly.

But it seems to be a good gimmick, the last movie before the destruction of the earth, maybe there will be sand sculpture netizens to coax it.

However, what Li Qian wanted to shoot was not like this.

"Brother Chao, you have such ideas, it's a pity not to be a director and make movies by yourself. ”

Li Qian shook his head and led everyone to another banquet hall next door.

Celebrating, there is definitely no way to celebrate by yourself behind closed doors in the entertainment industry, the publisher, the theater chain, and your peers are all invited to come over and be happy together.

However, the two major companies of Huayang and Chengtian did not come.

Berner and Guangxian are still Zhang Hao and Zhang Zhao, Zhang Hao can't be happy, and "October Siege" controlled by Berner is more or less influenced by "Perfect World".

Zhang Zhao couldn't be much happier, the two movies "Living Together in Time and Space" and "Perfect World" for the Chinese New Year have nothing to do with Guangxian.

The two movies add up to nearly 600 million box office, even if it is a small head, it is a huge profit.

Look at the absence of Li Qian this year, Guangxian's film business almost swallowed eggs.

Zhong Lifang, the general manager of Xiaoma, looks very happy, Wu Yusen and Ning Hao have officially signed a contract with Xiaoma, and the weight of these two people is not worse than Zhang Yimou and Ma Xiaogang.

After some congratulations, several CEOs also asked about the apocalyptic sci-fi film that Li Qian just said.

"Director Li's sci-fi film this time, I'm afraid the investment won't be small, right?"

Li Qian nodded, "This time it is estimated that it will cost a little more money, and it is estimated that it will not be possible to do it at a small cost." ”

That's a big production, and it is estimated that it will not be finished in a while and a half.

They breathed a sigh of relief, according to the situation of this year's Chinese New Year stalls, Li Qian is probably a strong contender for the annual box office championship.

What's more, it is also very prolific, with one film a year.

Next year, Ma Xiaogang has confirmed that there will be two movies, "Tangshan Earthquake" and "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb 2", plus Li Qian's new film, it will be a real fairy fight, and it is estimated that it will be even more lively than this year.

No, I should say it's this year, and it's January 4th.

......

After the noon banquet, Li Qian talked with Song Ge and Du Yang about the promotion of "People in Embarrassment".

"Mr. Song, Mr. Du, "People in Embarrassment" is now in the early stage, it should be no problem to catch up on the first day of the Lunar New Year, there are 45 days left before the movie is released, and you Yayao have begun to prepare. ”

For the next movie, they have already made preparations, Du Yang said, "Director Li, although "People in Embarrassment" gathers elements close to life such as third parties, migrant workers' salaries, Spring Festival transportation, etc., Xu Zheng is also famous, but it still lacks a really unattractive publicity point, and there is no topic that can be done thoroughly, cooked, and hot. ”

"That's true. ”

Li Qian nodded, don't look at "People in Embarrassment" There are many hot topics at the moment, including the release of the Spring Festival, but there is such a key point missing.

"If You Are the One, Do Not Disturb" is also closely related to the current hot topics, but it is definitely not these that are really attractive.

Ma Xiaogang is the biggest topic, no matter how many hot spots "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" are related to, it can't match Ma Xiaogang's fame.

The same is true of "People in Embarrassment", although Xu Zheng's "Nightclub" starring was a box office hit, but this movie is very enjoyable to watch, but when I think about it after a few days, I can't remember what is funny, and there is still a gap compared to "Crazy Time".

Xu Zheng's current fame, coupled with Wang Baoqiang, is still far from the real box office appeal.

This is lacking, needless to say, Li Qian knows it, and it is time to use his own name again.

Relying on his own fame, he attracted a large number of audiences to the cinema in the early stage, and then the audience's reputation will maintain the popularity, and then attract more audiences.

In this way, the effect will be much better and faster than relying on the movie's own word-of-mouth to slowly ferment.

After all, the Spring Festival is such a seven-day long holiday, and once the work starts, no matter how good the movie is, the box office may even be worse than usual.

Work after a long vacation is often the busiest.

Originally, when the film was started before, Li Qian publicized it, and also hung up the name of a producer, and continued to use his own name to promote, and it was okay.

However, Li Qian found that Song Ge and Du Yang were a little unhappy, and they seemed to have something on their minds.

The movie was a big hit, as one of the publicity and distribution parties, although it only took 4% of the publicity, and the other 6% was taken away by Huaying United, but it also made a lot of money.

Li Qian was a little curious, and asked with a smile, "Mr. Song, Mr. Du, what happened to you?"

"It's not a big deal. ”

Song Ge shook his head, it wasn't a big deal, so he didn't hide it, "Mr. Chi feels that making movies is too risky, and plans to focus his business on TV series. ”

Mr. Chi is the Chi Yufeng of Perfect World, Perfect Time and Space Film and Television was co-founded by him and Chi Yufeng, and Chi Yufeng is the major shareholder.

Although he earned some publicity and distribution fees from Li Qian's two movies, it was not his own project after all, and even if "Very Perfect", which he invested and distributed, sold 100 million, the investment was actually not small, and he didn't make much money.

The two founders had a disagreement, Chi Yufeng wanted to focus on TV dramas, and the film business was to do publicity, anyway, publicity and distribution would make a steady profit.

TV series are much better than movies, as long as there are TV stations to buy and don't touch big productions, it is better to make money than movies.

Unlike movies, it depends on whether the audience likes it or not.

Even if the audience doesn't like the TV series, the first round was sold, at most, it was not easy to sell later.

Li Qian also understands that major companies can't make much money in film production, Huayang makes money from artist management and TV series, and Berner earns publicity and distribution fees.

However, this is an internal matter of the company's own company, and he has nothing to say.

talked about the general direction of publicity, and when Xu Zheng was busy in the later stage, let him discuss with Song Ge.

......

Leave the hotel and head to the studio in the afternoon.

"Boss, I'm halfway through my idea, you can show it. ”

Guo Fan immediately held a pile of manuscript paper and rushed over.

"I've thought about it all and I'll talk about it when I'm sorting it out. ”

Looking at the messy manuscript paper in his hand, Li Qian was big for a while, and it was estimated that he wouldn't be able to understand it for a while.

waved at Su Lun again, "Su Lun, come on, there is a science fiction romance project." ”

"New ideas?"

Guo Fan, who had just sat down, immediately stood up again, staring curiously at the one he took out of Li Qian's pocket... flash drive

"Boss, I'll plug it in for you. ”

Guo Fan immediately volunteered to take it and plug it into the computer.

You don't have to go out of your way to find it, there's just a file inside.

Click on.

It's a long document, and it turns out to be a literary script.

"Boss, why does Su Lun's project have a script, you have been busy promoting it all this time, when did you write it?" Guo Fan couldn't help but be curious.

Li Qian said, "This film is for Yaya, I took the time to write it, it's quite complete, just fix it a little." ”

... Girlfriend is so eccentric.

My own project, just an idea and creativity, during this time just to improve the plot, the head is not enough.

The front and middle stages are fine, but the late stage and the ending, whether it is a happy ending, or the kind that makes people desperate in the dark, how to deal with it, but Guo Fan burned a lot of brain cells, and his scalp was about to be scratched.

And Su Lun, directly a ready-made script is there.

Although I wanted to say that it was unfair, I still left this complaint behind me and stared at the computer screen seriously, wanting to see how Li Qian's movie for Tong Liya was.

Moreover, sci-fi romance is a rare genre.

However, before he could take two more looks, the position was squeezed out of the way by Su Lun, and he could only sit next to him and watch with wide eyes.

still kept urging, "Scroll down, I'm done." ”

Seeing Guo Fan squeezing towards Su Lun's side one by one, his head sticking up, Li Qian was a little amused and kicked him in the chair.

"What are you doing, taking the opportunity to eat tofu?"

"No, no, I didn't!"

Guo Fan, who was reading the script carefully, was startled and hurriedly clarified.
