Chapter 428 Li Qian wants to make a love movie
"Han Dong, I'm sorry, I rested at home for a few days. Li Qian said to Han Sanping slightly apologetically.
After returning from Hollywood, Han Sanping wanted to ask Li Qian to meet, but Li Qian didn't come out until today.
Han Sanping didn't care, and said with a smile, "It's time to have a good rest, it's hard work!"
If you want to change to someone else, Han Sanping doesn't have such a good attitude.
But Li Qian helped him get a best foreign language film... can be regarded as helping him get it, as long as he has achieved the achievements of the film industry during his tenure, it is his political achievements.
Li Qian shook his head, "It can be regarded as living up to the expectations of the leaders and the audience, and I can finally relax." ”
"That's what you said, why is the leader putting pressure on you!" Han Sanping pretended to be displeased, and then smiled, "That's the leader's importance to you, otherwise why don't you put pressure on others." ”
It's my own pleasure.
"Then Han Dong is looking for me this time?" Li Qian said.
Speaking of business, Han Sanping said, "That's the case, you are ready to prepare materials, join the Film Association and the All-China Federation of Literary and Art Circles, forget about other associations, the Film Association and the Federation of Literary and Art Circles will not add it, what does it look like." ”
... That's all?
"It's no problem to join, I'll just ask people to prepare materials, but Han Dong, you also know, I have so many things on my hands. Li Qian said.
Han Sanping said with a smile. "You don't have to participate in general activities, the Film Association will only change its term at the end of the year, and there will be nothing to do this year, and there will be some major events in the future. ”
That's okay, Li Qian has no opinion, as long as there are not many things, it will definitely outweigh the disadvantages.
The Film Association is the Film Association, and the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers are all sponsored by the Film Association.
The Federation of Literary and Art Circles is even more irrelevant, don't look at the name, but the Federation of Literary and Art Circles manages all the cultural and art industries including film, television, drama, music, art, and writers across the country, and it is also a very powerful organization.
The current chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles was the leader of the Ministry of Culture before, and he was the leader of optoelectronics 20 years ago, and now he is a deputy national-level leader.
Awards from all walks of life, Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers, Golden Eagle Award, and Feitian Award, are all up to the Federation of Literary and Art Circles.
Just as a director, maybe you can mix with the vice chairman of the Federation of Literary and Art Circles in the future, but as the CEO of the company, it is estimated that it is impossible, so there is nothing to do with Li Qian.
On this trip, Han Sanping mainly said this to Li Qian, and then expressed the leader's praise for him, and he was on the news network alone.
Li Qian also agreed to the exclusive interview of the news network, and he will accept a bunch of interviews starting tomorrow, and there are too many official and semi-official media to refuse.
After talking about the business and chatting for a few words, Han Sanping casually asked about Li Qian's new film.
have made a comedy to show their innocence, are you still not at ease?
Li Qian was speechless, and immediately packed the ticket and said, "I have an idea for the new film, but please rest assured, it's not a realistic type, and I plan to make a movie about love." ”
"I just asked casually, there is nothing else, it is also very humane, and it will not interfere with what you shoot. Han Sanping smiled and asked again, "How did you think of making romance movies, there have been a lot of romance films on Double 11 in recent years." ”
Li Qian said, "It's a little different from ordinary romance movies, it can be regarded as an epic romance film, why don't I tell Han Dong about the general idea?"
"No, no, an old man of my age can't understand any love stories. Han Sanping smiled and waved his hand.
Li Qian was slandered, he was old, and he asked himself why he was making romance movies, to put it bluntly, he was still worried that he would do something.
But it's okay, it's a lot of money.
......
Then, Li Qian went to a five-star hotel, and Xu Zheng's new film "People in Embarrassment" was about to be officially launched, and a start-up press conference was held.
Li Qian did not attend the press conference, but the lineup of Xu Zheng + Huang Bo + Wang Baoqiang, coupled with the foundation of the first part, is one of the most watched movies at the moment.
After waiting in the banquet hall next door for a while, Xu Zheng brought the actors over after the press conference.
Seeing Li Qian coming, he hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.
"Director Li. ”
Li Qian smiled, "Brother Zheng, Brother Bo, Baoqiang, you have worked hard to go abroad this time." ”
"It's okay, just take a trip. Xu Zheng said with a smile.
"It's the first time I've been filming abroad. Huang Bo said.
"Me too, the first time I went abroad to film. Wang Baoqiang also said.
"Be careful in the country, after all, it is a foreign country. Li Qian said a few words, looked at Wang Baoqiang, suddenly remembered something, and smiled a little embarrassedly, "By the way, Baoqiang, I almost forgot about the tailor-made movie for you last time." ”
Wang Baoqiang didn't know what to say, anyway, he didn't have any hope, and the flowers he was waiting for were gone.
"In this way, I don't have any major events during this time, I'll help you write the script first. ”
Wang Baoqiang has been in the company for two years, and it seems that he has not starred in a movie, as the boss, Li Qian himself feels a little unkind, so he has to take the time to get the script of "Detective Chinatown" out and find a suitable director to shoot it.
"Director Li, aren't you going to make a new film?" Xu Zheng was a little puzzled.
"Shoot, why should a director go if he doesn't make a movie, but don't be in such a hurry, take your time. ”
"What kind of genre is it, do you still make comedy?"
"That's not it, change the genre and plan to make a romance movie. Li Qian said with a smile.
"Romance?"
The three of them were stunned, no one expected that Li Qian would actually make a romance movie.
Sure enough, the idea of the great director is unpredictable.
As a director, Xu Zheng is even more incomprehensible, although romance films are watched by female audiences, even with male audiences, and have a wide audience, but on the other hand, the audience is also very narrow.
After all, single male viewers rarely go to the cinema specifically to watch romance movies.
Moreover, older viewers will not watch it.
Except for Zhang Yimou, who filmed a "Love of the Hawthorn Tree", basically I have never seen any big director make a romance film.
"Is there anything special about this romance?" Xu Zheng couldn't help but ask, the previous comedy "Truman's World" was an extraordinary comedy.
Since it is a romance film that Li Qian wants to make, it must also be an extraordinary romance film, after all, Li Qian's brains and creativity are famous.
"Of course, this is no ordinary romance. Li Qian nodded.
The three of them began to be curious, isn't romance a romance film about men and women falling in love, is it possible to shoot flowers?
However, Li Qian didn't say anything about the specific content, but made them more and more curious.
.......
After having dinner with Xu Zheng and them, Li Qian also left the hotel and was interviewed by a reporter in the company's own office.
In the next month, Li Qian will have an exclusive interview almost once or twice a week, which is still the case of pushing off most of the media.
In addition to news broadcasts, TV stations only have Beijing Satellite TV and movie channels, online media only pay waves and penguins, and print media are a few including People's Daily.
There are too many to pick up, and even if they all wait in line for an interview, the timeliness of the news will have long since passed a month later.
The reporter sent by Xinlang was still Lu Chao, and Li Qian was still a little impressed, and he recognized it at a glance.
"Hello Reporter Lu. ”
"Hello Director Li!" Facing Li Qian's initiative to greet him, Lu Chao was a little flattered.
After a few greetings, the time was limited, and the interview began directly.
Lu Chaoxian asked Li Qian formulaically how he felt about winning the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film for the first time on behalf of a mainland film.
What else can you think, thank you for optoelectronics, thank you for the audience.
You don't need to type a draft of this kind of talk.
Then I talked about the impact of some movies on Mi Lijian, and many people had "Truman syndrome" and the like.
This is indeed true, Mi Lijian people even agree with the flat theory, and it is no different from neurosis.
"Director Li, a number of dockless public bicycles have recently appeared on the streets of Beijing, riding and stopping, it is said that they were inspired by watching "Truman's World", do you know this?" Lu Chao asked again.
"You know, their team has also come to our company to seek investment. Li Qian nodded, the world is so big, there are always some people with a keen sense of smell, the company has already invested, and it has begun to launch on a large scale in Beijing, because there are still many people who are interested in the movie to ride.
"Public bicycles have already appeared, does Director Li think that the public electric vehicles in the movie, as well as buses, will also appear in the future?"
"Of course, with the development of time and technology, I believe that there will be more and more convenient means of transportation. ”
"Does that have any special meaning in the movie?"
"In fact, it doesn't make any sense, it just means that the background time is a certain year in the future, and entertainment programs are breaking through the lower limit more and more, until there is a show like "Truman's World", which can be said to have no bottom line, or even crime. ”
"Do you think there will really be a show like this in the future?"
"At least with the current law, it's impossible in the country, after all, it's a crime. ”
......
At the end of the interview, Lu Chao asked Li Qian about the preparation of his new film with great concern, after all, he is also a fan.
"The new film is already being conceived, and I am slowly preparing it, and if it goes well, I will be able to meet the audience next year. Li Qian said.
Lu Chao's eyes were happy, but then he was stunned again, "Next year?"
"Yes, this year will definitely not be finished, probably in the second half of next year. ”
Doesn't that mean that Li Qian's rhythm of one movie a year is about to be broken, and there are no movies for him to watch this year?
However, Lu Chao can also understand that one movie a year is indeed not something that normal people can do, as long as they continue to make movies.
He hurriedly asked, "Then Director Li can reveal what the new film is about, the audience has been waiting for your new film." ”
Li Qian smiled, "It's an epic about love, it should be very touching, and it won't disappoint everyone." ”
Romance films?
Lu Chao was stunned, it was not surprising that Li Qian changed the genre, after all, from science fiction to reality, from reality to comedy, the span itself is big enough.
But romance films?
As a film and television reporter, he watches dozens of movies a year, but he can't watch two romance movies a year.
At the same time, I am also very puzzled by the theme of Li Qian's touching romance films, and there are few big directors at home and abroad who make romance films.
Could it be a disaster movie like "Titanic" dressed in the skin of a romance movie?
However, Li Qian did not give him a chance to continue to get to the bottom of the matter, and seeing that the time was almost up, he ended this interview.
Although I wondered that Li Qian would touch the romance movie, after Lu Chao returned to the headquarters of Xinlang, he still wrote a press release and sent it out.
As soon as the news came out, netizens who didn't care about the other content of the interview all noticed the news of Li Qian's new film.
heard that Li Qian was going to make a love movie, and they all exploded.
"I'll go, it's really fake, Li Qian wants to make a romance movie?"
"Isn't this nonsense, normal people who watch romance movies. ”
"I don't like to watch romance movies the most, and all the romance movies I've watched have been pulled by a few girlfriends. ”
"Fake news, how can Li Qian make romance movies, there is no love element at all in his movies. ”
"That's right, I have a deep study of Li Qian's films, in the first "Frequency of Life and Death", although the two protagonists have wives, but there is no emotional drama at all, I thought that after Deng Chao and his father changed the phone, he and his girlfriend who moved away would change, but it turned out to be a brushstroke.
and in "I Am a Legend", there is basically no emotional drama between Liu Ye and Yuan Quan, which is not reasonable at all, just the two of them in the last days, and it is outrageous if there is no emotional drama.
The emotional scenes between Truman and his first love, whether there are or not, are all talked about in passing, these movies could have had a very touching love scene, but Li Qian gave up. ”
"The worst thing is "The Moon", Huang Bo's feelings are all implanted in it, it is with someone else's wife, and there is not even a heroine in "Perfect World". ”
"That's right, female characters have always been unimportant in Li Qian's movies, how could they suddenly make a romance movie, it's not reasonable at all!"
"Don't make romance movies, I hate going to the cinema to watch romance movies, sprinkled with dog food on the big screen, and there are all couples next to me. ”
"One time I watched a romance movie and chose the last row directly, thinking that no one sat in that position, so I didn't have to be fed dog food, but there was a couple who didn't sit in the middle and sat in the back, and they were tired of being there the whole time, holding each other and gnawing each other, so they almost did it directly. ”
"Forget about romance movies, single dogs can only watch on the computer, can't go to the cinema, it's too hurtful. ”
"What's wrong with romance movies, I'm a girl, I like to watch romance movies, you guys don't watch it if you don't watch it!"
"Why can't it be a romance movie, I think the romance movie is very good, and Li Qian's shooting must be very touching!"
"Ahhh!!h
"I'm also going to find a girlfriend to watch Li Qian's romance film next year, and if I can't find it, I won't watch it!"
......
Male audiences, especially single male viewers, are not interested in romance films, and the Internet is full of their sighing voices.
However, female audiences are very active and are looking forward to Li Qian's romance film.
