"Nightclub", which has a production cost of 2 million, sold more than 15 million box office in the first weekend, becoming the biggest dark horse in the first half of the year.

For the dark horse at the box office, the media has always been stingy with praise, and director Yang Qing and actor Xu Zheng have become frequent guests in the entertainment media.

As a director, his debut film is a big hit, and Yang Qing has become a new star in the director industry in the mouth of the media.

And Xu Zheng also relied on his identity as the leading actor in the movie, and after many years, he finally became popular again.

Although before that, the movies "Crazy Stone", "Crazy Racing", "Love Call Transfer", "Love Call Transfer 2", and "Destiny Call Transfer" were all good at the box office, no matter how bad they were, there were twenty or thirty million, and the total exceeded 200 million.

However, except for the absolute number one character in "Love Call Transfer", the others are either tied for the male lead or supporting roles.

Even if "Crazy Stone" and "Crazy Racing", two movies with a super high reputation, the media and the audience remember Ning Hao and Huang Bo more.

Now, "Nightclub" has made Xu Zheng the protagonist in the spotlight.

Everything came so suddenly, and it came naturally.

Xu Zheng looked at his name frequently appearing on the entertainment news, and on some websites and forums, bad netizens were also discussing himself.

Even though he is 37 years old, Xu Zheng can't help but feel a little excited in his heart, and at the same time, he is more confident that he is about to direct and act in "People in Embarrassment".

As a literary and artistic youth, Xu Zheng has ideals and ambitions, but after so many years, he also knows that if he wants to realize his ideals and shoot what he wants to shoot, he must first abandon his ideals.

Only cheesy things can make money, and only when you make money can you be qualified to realize your ideals and shoot what you want to shoot.

Only when you are famous will the audience be willing to watch what you shoot.

Otherwise, it's not interesting to shoot for self-entertainment, not to be seen by others, not to be recognized by others.

Of course, Li Qian is also indispensable, supervising and producing three films, all of which are big hits, and the word-of-mouth box office is a bumper harvest, and these three movies are all the debut films of new directors.

"Rookie director Bo Le, Li Qian helped rookie director Yang Qing's debut film "Nightclub" take off at the box office!"

Some media directly used such news and called Li Qian the Bole of the three directors.

Although it is inevitable to be scolded for having no connotation and being cheesy, but a movie with a production cost of 2 million, even those professional film critics are embarrassed to say anything excessive.

It was peaceful, but some people were unhappy.

Just decided to suppress and suppress Li Qian together, and couldn't let other directors see the red eye, so they went directly to several major companies that cooperated with the theater chain, looking at this box office data, his face was very unhappy.

The most unpleasant thing belongs to the East, "Money Empire" is a movie invested and distributed by Berner, and the cost of 30 million in exchange for the box office of 8 million in the first week, you don't have to think about it, you lost it to your grandmother's house.

Others are better, the only movie released in April is "Jinling!Jinling!" released by Xingmei Investment, which will only be released at the end of the month.

However, the success of a small-budget movie did not make them too nervous, after all, this is still a glorious release, and there is no opponent in the same period.

Li Qian's new movie is estimated to be released for the Chinese New Year, and Zhang Yimou, who is busy with the Olympic Games, is making his new movie, and it is estimated that it will be released for the Chinese New Year.

There is not much suspense at all in the Lunar New Year stalls, after all, the box office of a single film three years ago was close to 300 million, and the return of Zhang Yimou after three years is definitely not an ordinary movie.

From the time when Zhang Yimou's new film was about to start filming, it was basically the biggest possibility of the annual box office champion, which is also the consensus in the industry, after all, after directing the Olympic Games, the name Zhang Yimou has been known all over the country.

However, in the past few days, Huang Zhongjun and Zhang Weiping have not gone to eat with Zhang Yimou and Ma Xiaogang to talk about their feelings.

"Zhonglei, how is it, Ma Xiaogang has nothing abnormal, right?"

"I didn't find anything, he is now busy with "Tangshan Earthquake", and he shouldn't have any other ideas. ”

In the film and television production business, Huayang is the first in China, but half of it depends on Ma Xiaogang.

And this person also loves money and beautiful women, very cheesy, the Huang brothers still have some concerns, Huang Zhonglei ran away again yesterday and found an excuse to see Ma Xiaogang.

However, Huang Zhonglei still has some concerns, "Big brother, "If You Are the Truth, Do Not Disturb 2" is the last contract between him and us, do you want to sign a contract for five more movies first, and it will be listed in the second half of the year, with that equity, he will definitely sign it." ”

"Don't, no, now I propose to renew the contract, the purpose is too obvious, you don't know about him, you have to coax him. ”

Huang Zhongjun shook his head, it happened to be a critical moment, the two films "Tangshan Earthquake" and "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" are being prepared at the same time, and they will be released together next year, they signed a five-film director contract until the end of filming "Do Not Disturb 2", Ma Xiaogang has nothing to do with Huayang.

It just so happened that Huayang was also listed, and the shares were also obtained, and Li Qian personally and the cinema joint venture development company all got together.

Huang Zhongjun is also very annoyed, but with Ma Xiaogang's character, renewing the contract at this time, he will definitely be unhappy, this is a person who is sometimes very emotional, he has to go with the flow, not hard, unless it is so hard that he can't bear it, he has to go with the flow.

However, the new contract will definitely have a little blood, and when he thought of this, Huang Zhongjun couldn't help but scold Li Qian in his heart.

Like Huang Zhongjun, Zhang Weiping often ran to the crew of "Three Guns Shooting Surprise" during this time, consolidating and consolidating his relationship with Zhang Yimou.

......

And Wang Changtian, at this time, saw that "Night Banquet", which had a production cost of only 2 million, sold 15 million in the first week, and his heart was dripping blood.

A Li Qian is not just a movie of his own in a year, according to the current situation, investing in and supervising two movies a year, and selling them all are worth two big directors.

But now, it's all about me.

However, unlike others, Guangxian does not have a director who has regular cooperation, and is not as worried about their directors running away as Wang Changtian and Zhang Weiping.

Even, he is happy to see Qi Cheng, if Ma Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou want to change partners, he will also have a chance.

Anyway, Guangxian is barefoot, and I wish everyone else would take off their shoes and everyone will be barefoot together.

Therefore, Wang Changtian revealed to Li Qian that other companies were ready to join forces to deal with him.

No matter what the result is, Guangxian has no loss, and he knows that Zhang Weiping and Zhang Yimou have no contract, and they have no binding force on Zhang Yimou, and he can't wait for Zhang Yimou to leave the new picture.

If Zhang Yimou leaves, Zhang Weiping, who has nothing, will be left to Wang Changtian, and the new and old grievances will be avenged.

.......

As the center of the conversation of major companies, Li Qian is still busy with his new movie.

The actor of "Perfect World" barely thought about it, and this role Zhang Hanyu is very suitable.

On Monday, Zhang Hanyu came to the studio and signed the contract.

Even if Li Qian and Ma Xiaogang are a little unhappy, this has nothing to do with other actors in Huayang, and the relationship between the mud and water before the entertainment is unavoidable.

It's impossible to have a good relationship with a person without cooperating with all the other people who have had conflicts with that person.

Isn't there a theory of six degrees of separation, the distance between you and any stranger will not exceed five people, but in the entertainment industry, the distance between you and any person in the circle will basically not exceed three.

After signing the contract, Li Qian handed over the script with a smile, "Brother Hanyu, the core of the whole movie is you, the leading actor, you take the script back and think about it first, and a month later, after May Day, let's talk about it carefully." ”

"Director Li rest assured, I am empty during this time. ”

Zhang Hanyu nodded in response, but this character, even if he only read the script once just now, still had great doubts and couldn't help but ask.

"However, this actor, is he a good person who has been wronged, or a criminal who has been found by conscience, or is he the kind who is both good and evil, where should I lean on?"

Murder, prison regulars, escaping from prison, and killing people after escaping from prison, how can they all be full criminals, in modern society, such a protagonist has become a "good person" with humanity in the back, and after reading the script for the first time, Zhang Hanyu felt that something was wrong.

"It's a criminal with a good side and a sense of justice, without much complicated personality, his crime comes from no one to discipline him when he was a child, someone hurt his mother, killed that person, and then he didn't have a means of making a living, he was at the bottom of the society since he was a child, and he lived by stealing, and he was objectively a criminal. ”

Li Qian explained slightly, "However, when I saw that the accomplice was about to rape the little boy's mother, I stopped it in time, and then because he wanted to hurt the little boy, he also killed the accomplice who escaped from prison together, he is not only a person who ignores the law, but also has his own principles, and the most human side is when he gets along with the little boy, because he sees himself when he is a child, and he doesn't want him to be like himself." ”

Good and evil coexist, this kind of character is too common in film and television dramas, and in the end, the most suitable ending was given, and the criminal still had to die.

Zhang Hanyu said again, "Then, is there a relationship between these two characters..."

That kind of relationship, Li Qian knew what he was talking about, and shook his head, "Of course not, this is a relationship that is almost father-son, isn't it arranged for a scene where you look for a young lady." ”

Yes, I just watched it once, and Zhang Hanyu didn't think about every detail so carefully.

"I went to Mademoiselle, which means that I have a normal sexual orientation and no pedophilia. ”

No, why am I looking for a young lady?

made a slip of the tongue for a while, Zhang Hanyu didn't care, and asked some details about the role positioning.

This combination is similar to "This Killer Is Not Too Cold", but Uncle and Zhengtai must not be fooled, in order to avoid some viewers misunderstanding wrongly, or some viewers with evil thoughts.

Not even a little bit, otherwise the movie will be ruined.

The actor is found, and the other characters are not so anxious.

The main thing is that little boy, about seven or eight years old, not when he is small, and not when he is older.

There are actually a lot of actors at such a young age in the industry, but Li Qian has never been in contact with them.

"Why don't I recommend someone, some time ago I went to visit the crew of "My Wife" that Sister Jenny was filming, and I had a very cute child. Tong Liya thought about it and smiled.

Li Qian asked, "Who, have you ever filmed, it's not okay to be precocious, you have to be cute, you have to accept it... No, you can't use that word for a child, but that's pretty much what it means. ”

Tong Liya thought for a while and said, "I've filmed four or five dramas, the year before last, he played the little Nezha in "Fengshen Bang: Fengming Qishan", he is ten years old this year, but he looks very small and cute." ”

"God List"?

As soon as Li Qian said this, he had an impression, he must have watched this drama, and Nezha with two pigtails in it is really cute.

It's a lively, cute, goblin, goblin type, I don't know if it's appropriate or not.

However, Li Qian still contacted his parents, heard Li Qian's invitation, and the person arrived the next day.

"Hello Director Li, my name is Li Hongying, and I am Lei Lei's mother. ”

didn't need to be reminded by his mother, and the little boy on the other side also said hello seriously, "Hello Uncle Li, I'm Wu Lei." ”

"You're okay too. ”

Li Qian touched the child's head, this other person's child is more pleasing to the eye than the child in his own relative's family, and he will not have the urge to beat people.

"Sit down, don't stand. ”

Li Qian motioned for them to sit down and looked at Wu Lei.

A very sunny child, although 10 years old is a little older, but the appearance is cute, and the two-year-old gap is nothing.

also went straight to the point, "Ms. Li, I came to you today for a role in my new film, there are a lot of scenes, it may take two months, I don't know if Wu Lei has time." ”

Two months?

This is a scene that only the protagonist has.

Wu Lei's mother Li Hongying was overjoyed, she thought it was a small supporting role, but she didn't expect it to be the protagonist of Li Qian's new film.

However, the shooting time of two months is a problem.

"Director Li, can you ask when filming will start?"

Li Qian said with a smile, "The summer vacation in July and August will not delay your studies. ”

Li Hongying breathed a sigh of relief and hurriedly responded, "No problem Director Li, our family Lei Lei has time during the summer vacation." ”

"Okay, let's sign a contract first, and I'll let you know when the filming starts then. ”

Li Hongying has been an agent for Wu Lei for 7 years since 02, and he can do it himself by signing a contract.

But just like that, she still couldn't believe it, and asked tentatively, "Director Li, do you want to try the show?"

"No, I don't. ”

Li Qian smiled and asked people to put the contract away.

"The child is blank, the plasticity is very strong, the shape is in line, just familiarize yourself with the script before the start of filming, you don't need to prepare anything, go to school hard, two months is enough. ”

Children are different from adults, they do not have a variety of occupations, identities, and ever-changing personalities, they are more simple and simple to shape.

Many film and television dramas can find that children's acting skills are often better and more natural than some actors.

Now you don't have to deliberately prepare anything in advance, you are so young, you won't remember anything when you are filming.

When the people left, Tong Liya came over and said, "It's so cute." ”

"What's cute, the age that dogs are disgusted with, maybe it's naughty and mischievous. ”

Tong Liya didn't have a good breath and said, "You are a dog." ”

"Don't you think so?"

"You scold me!"

"Why did I scold you?"

"You're scolding me!"

"Why did I scold you?"

"Humph!"

Li Qian smiled, grabbed Tong Liya's slender waist, leaned over, biting his ear and exhaling quietly.

"If you like children, go back at night and give birth to one, and you can play in four or five years. ”

"Give birth to yourself. ”

Tong Liya blushed, pushed Li Qian away, wiped her ears in disgust, and trotted out.

"Ignore you, I'll go to Su Lun. ”
