The ringing bell rings. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

Li Qian, whose fingers were crackling and flying on the keyboard, turned his head and glanced at it, and his movements immediately stopped.

After a while, he picked it up, "Hey, Brother Liu." ”

On the other end of the phone, Liu Chengzhang said: "Qian'er, do you have time at night?

Li Qian smiled, "It's not that you don't know, the opening ceremony of the World Cup is still three days away! I'm going to rehearse this afternoon! You say, can I dare to drink at this time?"

"Oh?? Yes, yes, I forgot!" His voice was slightly muffled.

Li Qian said, "If you have anything to say, I will not shirk it if I can help! We are not in a hurry to drink, we can drink it whenever we want." ”

"Well, that?? I just came out of Mr. Qi's office! I talked to her about making special effects! I see that your offer this time seems to have risen a lot compared to when I was doing "Sword Immortal"?"

Li Qian smiled when he heard this, and naturally he was prepared for this question, so he patiently replied at that time: "The price will definitely go up!" If you check it, you will probably find that according to the division of difficulty, the price increase varies from 30 percent to 45 percent. This matter was decided after several internal meetings, but it was not aimed at you! Don't get me wrong!"

After a pause, Li Qian also deliberately explained: "First, the cost is indeed rising, you know, as soon as the special effects of "Sword Immortal" came out, many people stared at my side to dig people, and the digging was called ruthless! I want to keep people, and the welfare benefits will definitely rise! Then, I am still continuing to invest, and every payment is burning money! This, I can't always lose money and move forward, right? Second, what about ......?"

Li Qian laughed twice, and then said: "Now we are working together normally, although the film is yours, but I still can't give you the lowest price at the previous partner level, right? I hope you can understand!"

After a pause, he said: "Of course, I had a special meeting with Mr. Qi to meet you about it, and we both agree very much, business is business, not to mention that this is your movie, so it's just like we take orders from other companies, and go at the normal price, and we will never deliberately kill people and ask for more money just because this is Huafei's play!"

On the other end of the phone, Liu Chengzhang was silent for a moment, and finally sighed deeply.

"Okay, I see!" he said, "then go back and wait until you're done, and we'll find another time to get together." ”

"Okay!" Li Qian responded.

When the phone hung up and put down the phone, he couldn't help but sigh.

Yes, He Yingyu can take over this play, after all, although this drama is an investment in Huafei Film and Television, it has nothing to do with Qin Wei, and his art director of Huafei Film and Television can't supervise Liu Chengzhang!

Even, as long as Liu Chengzhang wants to use the special effects of Minghu culture, He Yingyu must be the heroine - you don't have to say it explicitly, but everyone understands it!

Moreover, whether it is to do a job for himself, create a further reputation, or simply to make money, the special effects of Liu Chengzhang's movie, Minghu Culture can also be followed.

This cooperation will never be affected by the fact that Minghu Culture and Huafei Film and Television have now ended their honeymoon period, or even are in a state of opposition to each other.

It's just that this price is already impossible to be too low!

Of course, if Liu Chengzhang and Hu Fei go to Hollywood, and compare them back, they will find that in Minghu Culture, and those companies in Hollywood, in addition to the language barrier, the other party's understanding of Oriental culture, the convenience of communication, the previous cooperation experience, mutual familiarity, and the convenience of geographical advantages are all put aside, Minghu Culture's offer, even after this wave of price increases, is still about 20% lower than Hollywood!

Liu Chengzhang's new play, with a total investment of at least 100 million, is at least 30 or 50 million in special effects, or even 50 or 60 million, even if other factors are not considered at all, just the 20% difference in the price of the basic project is already tens of millions!

No matter how capricious Qin Wei is, he is just an art director who can't control Liu Chengzhang, and Hu Fei is a complete businessman - Li Qian dares to bet that he is reluctant to spend more than 10 million!

Of course, whether it is Hu Fei or Liu Chengzhang, they must have figured this out a long time ago, but Liu Chengzhang still couldn't hold back and called over - in other matters, just because he is the most powerful special effects director in China at present, or because of the fact that they once had a good relationship with each other, Li Qian will give him a certain amount of face, and he will let it go, but this matter, I'm sorry, he doesn't have such a big face!

As for how much investment and financial pressure Hu Fei's side will face, I'm sorry, it has nothing to do with Li Qian!

In fact, the last time I did the special effects of "Sword Fairy", Minghu Culture really didn't make any money from the books, but in order to meet Liu Chengzhang's requirements, Minghu Culture was personally signed and approved by Li Qian, and a batch of equipment was entered, and seven or eight technicians were specially dug up from Hollywood.

"Sword Immortal" is over, and the tent has followed, but things, people, and technologies have been left behind, which can be reused countless times!

In other words, in the last order, Minghu Culture didn't make money on the surface, but took the opportunity to take a big tonic pill and raised his equipment and technical ability up a bit!

In fact, it's still a lot of money!

And at the moment, the special effects department is already such a big stall, only relying on undertaking a little bit of scattered work sent by small and medium-sized film and television companies in China, but it can't afford to raise so much equipment and so many personnel, in the case that Li Qian himself has not yet made special effects blockbusters, Liu Chengzhang, who is the most enthusiastic and familiar with special effects production in China, is almost the biggest source of income for the Minghu Cultural Special Effects Department!

Frankly speaking, the two sides are interdependent and exist, Liu Chengzhang leaves the special effects department of Minghu Culture, and he can't play cheap and good oriental special effects, and the special effects department of Minghu Culture leaves Liu Chengzhang's special effects blockbuster from one to three years a year, and ten percent will immediately face losses.

If Liu Chengzhang and Hu Fei gritted their teeth ruthlessly, and would rather spend more money than find Hollywood to do it, Li Qian would really be a little blind.

Either grit your teeth and stand up, preferring to lose money to continue to support, or you have to hurry up and start the special effects blockbuster plan in advance and find a job for your own special effects department.

However, it's a pity, whether it's Hu Fei or Liu Chengzhang, after weighing the pros and cons, even if he knows that Minghu Culture wants to raise the price this time, he just wants to make a little more money from them, he can only grit his teeth and admit it!

They're not going to Hollywood.

The special effects company over there can be better than Minghu Culture, there are indeed them, but there are only two or three, in the current fire of special effects films, people are not short of business at all, and even if there is a lack of business, it is almost certain to meet Huafei Film and Television from unfamiliar China!

They will not choose to set up their own special effects department on the basis of Liu Chengzhang's special effects company that is on the verge of bankruptcy - this is not simply a matter of money, nor is it simply a matter of waving a check and digging up a few cattle to solve it!

You know, Minghu culture also started four or five years ago, Li Qian waved the checkbook, and successively pulled over the number of special effects companies and big-name technicians across the country at that time, and then made progress little by little, cultivated and improved their technical strength little by little, including providing high funds, and cooperating with many domestic universities to develop, including electronics, Animation and other related majors from undergraduate to master's students, to doctoral students' targeted enrollment and training, etc., spare no effort to improve their equipment strength and personnel, technical reserves, and have "The Legend of the New White Lady", "Sword Fairy" and other big tonic soup to drink, this has gone all the way to the present, with the current leading domestic, world-class technical strength!

In fact, after the special effects of "Sword Fairy" became popular, didn't Oriental Media also set up a special effects department, and it really poached several heavy-name big-name technicians from the special effects department of Minghu Culture, and now the two sides are still in a lawsuit, and it is about to be judged, it is estimated that once the judgment is made, Oriental Media will have to pay more than 15 million to Minghu Culture for themselves and those technicians for this poaching!

But what is the result?

According to reliable information, Oriental Media has gone in by now with 60 or 70 million yuan, but up to now, they are just able to take on rough work with low requirements, and if the technical difficulty is a little higher, they can't play it at all - those technicians who have dug up a lot of money and have to face huge compensation, when they go there, they feel a little like Lin Chong looking at the grassland.

The work that the company can undertake is not difficult for them, it is a little difficult for them, and it is also a job that they can't do, and Oriental Media can't accept it at all, and even if it does, they can't do it just by a few of them - in short, the situation is very embarrassing.

This also makes Oriental Media's follow-up poaching, no matter how high the conditions are, no one will be moved.

What did you do in the past?

So, that's how it turned out.

You know what I'm thinking and planning, and I know what you're thinking, I'm going to kill you, and I'm sure you're going to let me kill you, and you know I'm going to kill you, but you do the math and find that although you'll be slaughtered here, it's still the most economical and cost-effective solution, so you decide to be slaughtered!

As the saying goes: which Chinese special effects are stronger? Minghu culture is king......

Cough...... Of course, Qi Jie presided over several meetings, and after discussions again and again, Minghu Culture grasped the degree of slaughter just right - it will make you bleed, but it will not make you bleed to the point that you can't bear it!

Then, the cooperation was negotiated.

If you change the concept, from Ming Xiaojing's "Unfinished Love" to Liu Chengzhang's investment in this new movie, Hu Fei has to pay for Qin Wei's things some time ago, and he probably needs to spend more than 20 million more!

Of course, for him and Huafei Film and Television, who have just reaped the global success of "The Gate of Life and Death", it is the time when they are wealthy, although the bleeding will hurt, but it is still bearable.

Therefore, Qin Wei is still his ancestor!

…………

Shuntianfu, outside the North Fourth Ring Road.

"Blue and White Urn" stadium.

The car drove closer, and Li Qian deliberately looked at the glass carefully for a while.

In the past few years, he has gotten better and adapted, and in the two years since he first came to Shuntianfu, he has come over several times to see this quaint national sports center.

Its building size is so huge that it has become one of the most famous landmarks in Suncheonfu before it was even built. The whole building presents a huge urn shape, and the outside is decorated with the overall style of blue and white porcelain, and from a distance, it does look like a large urn of Yuan blue and white, so the nickname given to it by the people of Shuntianfu is really accurate - to be fair, it is actually quite good-looking.

It was built in 1995 and completed in 1997, which lasted more than two years, and later became famous in Asia for successfully hosting the 1998 Suncheonfu Asian Games.

Now, it has been designated as the venue for the opening and closing ceremonies of the 2002 World Cup in China, and will also host a total of nine matches throughout the World Cup, including the third and fourth finals, and the final championship battle.

It's just, looking at it, I miss the bird's nest a little.

After checking the license plates, the guards also specially asked the driver to lower the windows of each car, carefully check everyone in the car, and then wave to let him go.

When it comes to security measures, they are indeed strict enough.

Today is the penultimate rehearsal for the opening ceremony of the World Cup.

Well, everything has to be done the way it really is.

The car drove into the attached parking lot next to it, Li Qian, Liao Liao, Cao Zhan, Yu Bojun, and Wang Huaiyu got out of the car one after another, and Wang Jingxue, Sun Ruoxuan, and Xie Bing also got out of the car.

Then, the report, the autograph, and the director team and staff of the opening ceremony were very polite, and assigned the two large lounges that were still the first row last time.

It's just that the other party reminded so tactfully: It's best not to go out and wander around, so as not to get into trouble.

Everyone is fine.

Of course, Li Qian is an exception, he is the special director of the opening ceremony of this World Cup - the so-called special director, some similar to honorary presidents, honorary presidents and the like, that is, a name, of course, some big decision-making decisions, the director team is still very willing to listen to Li Qian's opinion.

Moreover, the chief director of the opening ceremony is Feng Kaige, which is really an old acquaintance.

Therefore, not long after Li Qian and the others went into the room to rest, Feng Kaige lined up the staff to come over and invited Li Qian to come over - before the official start, there was a meeting within the director team.

At four o'clock in the afternoon, the rehearsal officially began.

The program of the Four Beauties is the finale, so Li Qian is not in a hurry to prepare, but stands with Feng Kaige and their director team under the temporary stage arranged in the huge stadium, watching the theatrical performance on the stage.

Up to now, the program list of this opening ceremony theatrical performance is still confidential, and all the participants and staff have also asked for confidentiality.

Li Qian is also because he has the title of a special director, so he can have a glimpse of the mountains in advance.

was watching the show, and from time to time Feng Kaige would come over and exchange a few words, trying to ask for more suggestions from Li Qian for the last opportunity to revise and revise.

At this time, Zhao Sicun didn't know when to sneak over and stood beside Li Qian.

Although he is not in the director's team, he is a member of the publicity committee under the World Cup Organizing Committee, and the opening and closing ceremonies of the World Cup are, to some extent, one of the most important faΓ§ade tasks that their committee is responsible for.

It is said that his work is very productive, so as soon as the World Cup is over, he will be promoted.

In the fifth program, the Rose Power Combo is on the stage.

The English song, jumping and jumping, is very chic and interesting.

Looking at it, Zhao Sicun leaned over and asked in a low voice, "Is your handwriting?"

Li Qian smiled, turned his head and said, "Try it! The opportunity is rare, it's a pity not to rush." ”

Zhao Sicun nodded, "I hope to go out again! In this way, if we have to undertake any international activities in the future, we won't be unable to catch people! Liao Liao is not there, and you don't give face!"

Li Qian smiled, turned his head to look at him, and said, "Aren't you all settled?"

Zhao Sicun was stunned for a moment, then shook his head and smiled bitterly, "Get used to it, get used to it! That's right, it won't be my responsibility in the future!"

Li Qian smiled: "It's still my top boss!"

Zhao Sicun shook his head and said: "Your things, as well as the things that come out of your company, whether it is a romance movie, a monster movie, or that 'kung fu movie', the theme is no problem, either to encourage the improvement of women's status, to advocate free love, or to promote national culture and martial arts culture, the White Lady's part, is also persuading people to be good! This is all vigorously advocated by the state, and it is also the right way, no matter who it is, it will not be stuck with you!"

Li Qian smiled, "What you said, don't admit it in the future!"

Zhao Sicun laughed, "Don't talk nonsense! Don't pretend you don't understand! I'm talking about the way you used to, if you play too much in the future, you will be stuck!"

The two of them continued to chat, and the staff had already trotted over to remind Li Qian that it was time to go back and prepare.

So Li Qian and Zhao Sicun nodded to each other, said hello to Feng Kaige, and then turned around and went back to prepare for the stage - the opening ceremony of the theatrical performance, a total of 50 minutes, including songs, dances, plays, and pure Chinese music show, focusing on the ancient organ and Chinese drums.

In the domestic pop music scene, a total of five groups of programs were selected, which probably accounted for less than 24 minutes. Among them, Minghu Culture accounted for two groups, the new song performance launched by Rose Power at the opening ceremony of the World Cup accounted for three minutes and ten seconds, and the four beauty bands were responsible for the finale, a total of two songs, about seven minutes.

Together, it's ten minutes.

went back to meet Liao Liao and Cao Zhan, and then waited for the call to be called, and when it was his turn, he waited at the stage position, and then he performed on stage - although it was a rehearsal, the four beauty bands, like each group of actors and singers who participated in the rehearsal, showed full spirit.

In three days, the World Cup will begin!
