Chapter 305: The right time, the right place, and the right people
It takes two and a half hours to fly to the capital, and by the time I got home, it was already past one o'clock in the morning.
Tong Liya hadn't slept yet, she was nestled on the sofa holding a script.
Seeing that Li Qian was back, Tong Liya put down the script, trotted over barefoot, straddling Bai Huahua's long legs.
"Come back, I thought you'd spend the night in the city. ”
"How can there be such idle time, the earliest flight from the magic capital to the capital will be until noon. Li Qian shook his head.
Tong Liya glanced at Li Qian, held his arm and shook it, pretending to be dissatisfied, "You can't say that you miss me!"
"Yes, of course. ”
Li Qian smiled, kissed Tong Liya on the mouth, pulled him to sit on the sofa, picked up the script thrown on it, and wondered, "Why do you watch it so late, it's been more than two months, and the script hasn't been studied yet?"
"It's about to start, I'll take a look at it again, this movie Wang Xiaobei is also very outstanding, I can't be pressed down by Wen Zhang. Tong Liya said.
"Don't worry about it, even if Wen Zhang's true character is brilliant in Wang Xiaobei's performance, it won't steal your limelight, his character has a bad mouth and is a little girly, although it is very likable and funny, and occasionally he is also a warm man, but most girls will not like this, they would rather like the diamond king and the fifth Wang Yaoqing.
The same is true for male audiences, and the core of this movie is Huang Xiaoxian's mental journey in the thirty-three days after falling out of love, as long as Teng Huatao does not make stupid mistakes and runs crookedly, Huang Xiaoxian is the most important role. Li Qian said.
Normal girls who like sissies can be girlfriends and friends, but they will never want to be lovers.
Normal men also don't like sissies, most of them like women, even if there are people who like men, they also like real men.
And this kind of lovelorn movie must be dominated by girls, and no one wants to see how sad and entangled a big man is after falling out of love.
"Okay, I'll see it tomorrow and take a bath with me. Li Qian put down Tong Liya's script and dragged him to the bathroom.
"I've taken a shower. ”
"Wash again, take a shower and go to bed. ”
......
On the 12th, the Magic City International Film Festival Film Festival is still being held lively, and last night's opening ceremony has been widely reported.
Murdoch's personal attendance, the double ice fight, and Zhang Guoli's jokes about Ma Xiaogang falling to him are all good news.
However, it is mainly about the news that Li Qian's new film "I Am Not the God of Medicine" will be released in the summer.
With more and more media reports during the day, most netizens who originally did not believe that "I Am Not the God of Medicine" would be released next month were also skeptical.
"I'm going, it's not going to be released next month, it doesn't feel realistic. ”
"I guess I didn't run away, all the reports about "I Am Not the God of Medicine" are said to be released next month. ”
"I feel as if Li Qian is being called fast gunner faster and faster. ”
"Well, although I want to see Li Qian's movie early, I don't want him to be too rushed, quality is the most important thing. ”
"It's not strange to have a movie in half a year, in the eighties and nineties, Xiangjiang could make a movie in half a month, and there were still good films. ”
"Anyway, it's not bad, and this kind of reality drama has no special effects or anything, so it's normal to hurry up. ”
"By the way, what about the brother who exchanged his girlfriend for Li Qian's movie that will be released soon, divorce his girlfriend!"
"Here, whoever gives me a girlfriend first, I'll take a break when it's over. ”
"Don't be so troublesome, chop your hands, you won't have to worry, and you can live a long life." ”
......
Most viewers already believe that "I Am Not the God of Medicine" will be released next month, and the only doubt is whether the movie that will be completed in the second half of the year will affect the quality because of the rush.
However, Li Qian's golden signboard still made the vast majority of the audience choose to ignore the only doubts.
As for some viewers who think that this may be hype in advance, Li Qian has not officially spoken, so it is good to have discussions.
However, it was not only the audience that was shocked, but also the industry peers who were really shocked!
How long does it take for a movie to go from preparation to release?
This is a question that 90% of practitioners can answer, and the answer will be surprisingly the same.
In addition to big productions, ordinary comedies and dramas also need a one-year cycle.
However, when I got to Li Qian, it only took half a year!
Although "I Am Not the God of Medicine" is obviously a feature film, half a year is amazing enough.
...
"One movie in half a year, doesn't that mean that as long as he Li Qian is willing, he can make two films a year?"
Thinking of this, Yu Dong had a headache.
One movie a year has already occupied the best New Year's stalls, if there are two movies a year, then everyone else can really only drink soup.
However, this is based on the premise that the high quality can still be maintained in such a short cycle.
But, is this possible?
Obviously impossible!
No matter how magical it was, Yu Dong didn't want to believe in this result.
However, "I Am Not the God of Medicine" has been raised, and Yu Dong is also relieved.
If Li Qian does not participate in the competition for the Lunar New Year, then "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" will only have the only opponent of "Jinling Thirteen Hairpins".
Even if he is not optimistic about Li Qian, a realistic movie in the pharmaceutical industry, Yu Dong is confident that he will touch it, but it is always a good thing to have one less opponent, and the pressure is much less.
It's just that Berner still has two movies "God of Wealth Inn" and "Eavesdropping 2" to be released in the summer, and he still has to meet Li Qian.
But...
Yu Dong began to think about it, the movie was made in half a year, and it was just finished and hurriedly released next month, even if Li Qian was a genius, I am afraid that this time it will overturn, even if it is not shoddy, it will definitely be far inferior to his previous movies.
Moreover, there is also a heavyweight movie like "Transformers 3", and "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" will also be released on July 1, under the suppression of two blockbusters, isn't such a realistic movie of average quality the best opportunity to break the myth of Li Qian?
......
Huayang Media, the Huang brothers also have the same idea as Yu Dong, and they also realize that this is an excellent opportunity.
After some discussion, Huang Zhongjun said with some excitement, "Big brother, this opportunity has come. ”
"This was sent by Li Qian himself, of course we can't let it go!" Huang Zhongjun was also excited in his heart, but he still pressed it down, but the light flashing in his eyes indicated that he was not calm in his heart.
Li Qian has dominated the Chinese New Year stalls for two years, and he also set a box office record of 800 million Chinese movies in one fell swoop, leaving everyone far behind.
Originally, if Li Qian had maintained this level, even if their major companies had the intention to pull Li Qian off the horse, they would not have a chance.
First of all, there are simply no comparable movies.
There are not enough resources, one is certainly not enough, at least several large companies need to be united.
Several of their major companies have reached alliances, but they are not solid, and no one will give their all, so they are all gone.
But this time is different, this time there is enough hope.
"The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party", as the second part of the series, must have a box office of five or six billion.
Not to mention "Transformers 3", which is a blockbuster that is going to hit a billion.
There is also the martial arts film "Martial Arts" starring Donnie Yen, although the few films he acted in before were more than 100 million box office, but Donnie Yen has no problem, major companies generally believe that without Donnie Yen, selling 100 million is a luxury.
It's more of a director's problem, but this time it's Chen Kexin who directs it, making up for the shortcomings.
Not to mention the big explosion, there must be two or three hundred million.
The three movies are expected to add up to nearly two billion, which is enough to snipe Li Qian's movie.
Enough comparable movies include "Transformers 3", and Li Qian's unpopular realistic themes that came out in a hurry definitely can't be compared with the previous movies.
It's just the right time and place, as long as the major companies can work together, the last piece of people is also in place.
Just thinking about it, Yu Dong happened to call, and what he said was exactly what Huang Zhongjun thought.
As soon as he hung up the phone, Huang Zhonglei couldn't wait to ask, "Big brother, what did Yu Dong say?"
"Coincidentally!" Huang Zhongjun smirked.
"Great!"
The excitement in Huang Zhonglei's eyes was difficult to contain, Li Qian refused his case, and Guo Fan and Qi Yukun also directly rejected his solicitation, and even Guo Fan teased him once, but he never forgot to be careful.
Moreover, when their vice president of production Zhang Jun resigned, they also spread rumors in Huayang, saying that it was Huang Zhonglei's problem that he did not sign Li Qian at the beginning, and he carried the black pot for Huang Zhonglei.
The subordinate couldn't bear the black pot and jumped ship to the opponent, which also embarrassed him.
It can be said that Huang Zhonglei is one of the people who most want to kill Li Qian.
......
Yu Dong and Huang Zhongjun took the lead, and also successively contacted Wang Changtian, Song Ge, Li Ming, Qin Hong and others, trying to unite all the forces of private companies in the industry to jointly deal with Li Qian, who monopolized nearly half of the film industry.
However, Li Qian didn't know anything about it, and after returning from the magic capital, he continued to be busy with the editing of "I Am Not the God of Medicine".
Only then did the rough cut, as well as the double cut, fine cut, and comprehensive cut.
Of course, most of the editing has two processes: rough cutting and fine editing, and the re-cutting is a little more detailed in the process of rough cutting, so that the language, action, structure and rhythm of the characters are close to finalization.
The comprehensive shear is to look at it several times from beginning to end after the cut, and make an overall adjustment.
Standing on the shoulders of giants, Li Qian did even the double scissors when he was rough cut.
However, Li Qian, who was watching the materials and preparing to do it, received a call from Han Sanping.
"Hey, Han Dong?"
"Oh, this, don't worry, Han Dong, it will probably be released at the end of July. ”
"That's okay, don't bother Han Dong. ”
Shake your head and hang up the phone.
Han Sanping called to ask about the release of "I Am Not the God of Medicine", and "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" will be released on July 1, which is a political task.
"The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic of China" is 400 million, and "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" also needs to be about this number to make a difference.
The release of "Transformers 3" in mid-July is already under a lot of pressure, and if Li Qian's film is released again, then Han Sanping's task will not be completed.
He also has a lot of pressure, but this series is not as good as one, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic" is very good, "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" is almost good, but it is also qualified, and there is a "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Army" in the back is very average.
After Han Sanping's concerns, Li Qian continued to be busy.
......
Basically, it is to ignore the things outside the window, and only focus on cutting the film, and fine cutting is also the most important link, carefully and carefully.
However, on the afternoon of June 20, after a week of retreat, the door to the computer room was opened.
This was the first time that the computer room had been opened from the outside, and Li Qian, who was looking at the material intently, frowned.
"What's going on?"
