Chapter 112 The Flying Duck and the Room Card

Li Qian's sudden visit with his assistant did not seem to alarm anyone.

The car came to Baoding Mansion's own cinema to find a place to stop near the entrance of the cinema, the three people, the boss's assistant and the driver, and even found a place to solve lunch first, and then Li Qian also took Qin Nuo into the cinema to watch a movie first, and then Qin Nuo contacted the manager of the cinema through the cinema.

Yesterday temporarily changed today's itinerary, Qin Nuo received a notice, of course, he had prepared all the information in advance, knowing that this movie theater was transformed into an IMAX giant screen theater with Hall 1, so the movie they bought tickets to watch happened to be watched in the IMAX hall.

The name of the movie is "The True Story of Zhong Kui", and the quality is actually not bad.

Although I can feel that the investment in this movie is definitely limited, so some of the scenes are really rough, but the costumes, props, and performances can all be hung up with exquisite and exquisite, and the story is also quite smooth and distracting, and the character design is actually good - Moreover, this movie actually has a weird and unrestrained temperament.

A 2D martial arts ghost hunting film with not too high picture quality, brought to the IMAX giant screen to play, although it is really a waste of screen, but the sound, picture and other effects are still much stronger than ordinary theaters, and it feels quite impressive - Li Qian is not even sure if he hasn't watched the giant screen for too long, but occasionally turned his head to look at Qin Nuo, and saw that the little secretary was also excited to see it, he knew that this film was indeed not bad, and the projection effect was also quite good.

said that it was a "true story", but in fact, several jokes in the film were buried quite excitingly, especially after the movie ended, Li Qian also noticed that the director and screenwriter of this movie are the same person.

So he felt that this was a very good storyteller.

As for the martial arts scenes...... Well, it's okay to have swords and swords, don't ask too much!

After the movie was finished, before leaving, Li Qian told Qin Nuo to write down the director of the movie, and check the relevant information of the movie and the information of this guy named Lin Xianzhi after he went back.

In Li Qian's view, the level of this director is not low.

Although it has been commercialized for many years, the status quo is like this, there is no shortage of directors who can make literary films in China, but there are really limited ones who can make good commercial films. There are even fewer directors who can make commercial movies that can be watched or even good-looking with a very low budget.

Even in the time and space that Li Qian once experienced, it took about ten years of pains for domestic films to gradually cultivate a new generation of directors around 2010, and they began to gradually move closer to the perspective of "storytelling" - although there are still not many, and the quality is uneven.

The little assistant had just been accompanied by his boss to watch a movie, and he felt refreshed, so of course he hurried to write down the tasks issued by the boss. Then, out of the screening room, she called the manager of the cinema.

Then it's simpler.

When I watched the movie just now, Li Qian had already felt the projection effect of the entire IMAX hall very carefully, and the overall feeling was not bad, this time, the cinema suspended the screening of this hall, the headlights were fully turned on, and the cinema manager accompanied him one by one, explaining to Li Qian and Qin Nuo one by one where the screening hall had undergone what technical upgrades - in layman's terms, let the boss see where the money was spent.

Well, at present, the upgrade is the regulation of the screening hall, the screen, the sound and other equipment, but the need for special customization, special production of 3D-IMAX playback equipment, because the technical standards are quite high, at present, only signed an order, by the Minghu Research Institute to take out the technology, obtain the relevant IMAX technology authorization, entrusted to a factory in Germany to produce, is still in the trial production stage.

To officially come up with usable and durable products, it is estimated that it will be at least the end of the year, about next year, the initial batch of 500 sets of playback equipment, and a lower level of enhanced 3D playback equipment, will be produced and arrived from the beginning of next year, according to the planning of the theater line, probably by the end of next year, these equipment will be completely installed and commissioned.

According to the plan, half a year later, "Avatar" will officially land in the global theater in June 2007 - by that time, including the IMAX screen equipped with several domestic science and technology exhibition halls, and the plan Minghu Culture will take the initiative to contact several large domestic theaters in a few large cities in the leading theaters of the 3D-IMAX giant screen theater transformation, the number of 3D-IMAX giant screens in China will be as high as more than 160, 3D screens, will also reach 400 this level.

Don't think it's too little, in fact, according to the available data, combined with the future development plans of several theaters in North America, by June 2007, when "Avatar" is expected to be released, the entire North American theater chain, including a large number of high-tech exhibition halls in the United States, will only have about 60 IMAX giant screens at most, and the number of 3D screens in North America will hardly exceed 200.

At that time, although China will certainly not be able to compare with North America in terms of the total number of screens, China will far exceed North America in terms of the number of 3D and 3D-IMAX theaters alone.

Even, as the representative of Minghu Culture in North America, Du Yihua has contacted IMAX many times before to try to acquire it. It's a pity that IMAX's senior management and shareholders are not even lower than Li Qian in terms of their optimism about the company's future development prospects.

So, people don't sell it!

Of course, the task has been handed over to Colombia by Li Qian - this is something that has been finalized when Glen Charles went to France to talk to Li Qian about the next investment plan at the winery.

Li Qian asked him to buy IMAX and all the technology owned by this company before the arrival of June 2007!

Because at least in the next ten years from the current point of view, Li Qian is extremely optimistic about the development prospects of IMAX.

…………

Simple engineering transformation and equipment upgrades, are Minghu culture and Minghu cinema line unified contact, quotation, order equipment, and then handed over to the three domestic engineering companies for unified construction, and even the installation of audio equipment, but also by the Minghu culture and music department and the performance department of the professional sound engineer from beginning to end, accompanied and explained by the theater manager, it only took less than 20 minutes, Li Qian in the theater located in the bustling business district of Baoding Mansion has completed the transformation of the 3D-IMAX giant screen theater and 3D theater have seen it.

He was more satisfied.

Then, of course, Xie Zhengfang retained him, went out directly to get in the car, and returned to Shuntianfu.

In fact, even if he doesn't come out to see, Qi Jie is responsible for the matter, and Yu Bojun, the general manager of the theater chain, is sure to be relieved, and he wants to come out to see it temporarily, purely because he feels that he needs to come here once in a while to show that he is very concerned about this matter.

Baoding Mansion is not far from Shuntian Mansion, go back the same day, sleep in the sheepfold alley at night, early the next morning, Li Qian appeared in the suburb of the Minghu Film and Television City No. 3 studio.

The filming of "Avatar" is in progress.

…………

On the afternoon of the second day after returning to Shuntianfu, Qin Nuo drove himself again and sent all the information collected and sorted out about "The True Story of Zhong Kui" and the personal information of Lin Xianzhi, the director and screenwriter of this movie, to Minghu Film and Television City.

But Li Qian didn't have time to watch.

During the interval between filming, the actors and some of the staff can rest, but as a director, Li Qian has to be busy communicating with the actors, technicians and staff in all aspects, and he is still not idle.

So they waited and waited until it was dark.

Li Qian had already noticed that Qin Nuo was coming, and he still had something in his hand, but he didn't bother to take care of her until he finished work at this time, and explained a few words to Sun Yuting about cleaning up, and then finally set his eyes on Qin Nuo - the little assistant was in good spirits and walked over, "Boss, the information you want for "The True Story of Zhong Kui", the latter one is Lin Xianzhi's information. ”

Li Qian took it and opened it, and looked roughly under the strong light of the studio, the front was fine, and when he saw Lin Xianzhi's personal information in the back, he was a little surprised, "Female?"

Qin Nuo nodded, "Yes, I graduated from the directing department of Songjiang Drama Academy, and I have been working as a director in a legal column of Shuntian Satellite TV before. This is her first film. ”

Li Qian looked at the information in front of him with some surprise, and recalled the unrestrained feeling when he watched "The True Story of Zhong Kui" yesterday, and couldn't help but be amazed in his heart.

It's also strange to think about it, the specialty of female directors is that they are more delicate, especially in dealing with the emotions of characters, they are often more stretched and real than male directors, so whether it is Zhang Zifang or Lu Lingxi, the emotional scenes are really good-looking.

And even Sun Yuting, who usually looks a little unrestrained, took over the third part of "Princess Huanzhu", which she took over and directed, and on the basis of the first two parts that were already a little unsustainable, she turned out the emotions of the characters. So that after the filming of the three parts of this TV series, the reputation did not collapse like the other time and space, until now, there are many viewers calling for the fourth part, and there are also a lot of voices within the Minghu Culture Film and Television Department, the screenwriting team is discussing the story script again and again, once it is formed, it is even possible to shoot the fourth part at any time.

But on the contrary, this Lin Xianzhi, a female director, actually filmed such an unrestrained taste!

However, Li Qian suddenly noticed that she used to be a director in the legal column, and she seemed to think of something in her heart, and she was suddenly somewhat relieved.

He couldn't help but think to himself, "No wonder she's a good storyteller!"

As for the movie "The True Story of Zhong Kui", there is not much worth saying, a typical history of the debut of a film director with a small cost and slow efforts - the total investment of this movie is actually less than three million, you know, this is a costume film, it was filmed by her for less than three million, and the effect is actually not bad!

Only one word can be said: cow!

What's even more awesome is that the investor of this movie is actually invested by a film and television company under Shuntian Satellite TV, which is purely a work to test the waters, at the beginning it was only screened in more than 40 movie theaters, without even the slightest publicity, and later it looked like the results were good, the original director of Shuntian Satellite TV, the current general manager, and Li Qian's old friend Wei Ping personally contacted Qi Jie, and won the resources of Minghu Cinema Line for this movie, which suddenly expanded the screening scale to more than 700 theaters, and then the box office came up all of a sudden.

As of now, nearly a month after its release, the film has earned more than 21 million at the box office - don't even think about it, it's just a doubling of money.

However, it is conceivable that such a cutting-edge director with a budget of less than 3 million, who can make a movie of this level and get a box office of this level, will definitely immediately become the focus of attention of all production companies, film companies and investors in the film industry.

Not to mention that this movie is still invested by Shuntian Satellite TV - this is an iron relationship, of course it is not good to poach people!

So he flipped through the information again, and Li Qian reluctantly handed the information back to Qin Nuo, "Yes, don't care about her, we can't interfere in this matter." ”

However, at this time, Qin Nuo suddenly said: "Boss, there is something that is inconvenient to write on the information, but I asked Mr. Qi, and Mr. Qi said that it was certain." ”

Li Qian turned his head to look at her, and she said, "This Lin Xianzhi is the illegitimate daughter of General Manager Wei of Shuntian Satellite TV. ”

"Huh?"

Li Qian looked at her in surprise - this is interesting!

In the middle of his mind, Li Qian stretched out his hand, took the materials back, and said: "Leave the information for me, I'll look at it later, you go back! It's dark, drive slowly!"

Qin Nuo agreed, didn't say any nonsense, turned around and left.

Li Qian held the materials in his hand, and his heart turned away.

Lao Wei's illegitimate daughter...... Illegitimate daughters, special national conditions, everyone understands, most people are reluctant to spend that money to take concubines, so rich, powerful, and talented people like to raise an outer room, but in fact, to a certain extent, although this kind of outer room is not recognized by the law, it is tacitly recognized between friends, circles and relatives.

It's just that you can't get it in broad daylight.

After all, like Li Qian, in order to give a name to his several women, there are not many stupid hats who do not hesitate to smash out more than a billion at once.

However, the problem came all of a sudden.

The illegitimate daughter studied directing, and asked for a chance, but the father spat and criticized, and approved a sum of money for his daughter to toss, in fact, it was already quite overdone, even if the movie made a lot of money at the end, there was no credit to be done, but he had to be more careful.

As for the future...... Shuntian Satellite TV is not Wei Ping, as long as he wants to continue to work and lend him courage, he does not dare to continue to vigorously support his illegitimate daughter for the throne.

Moreover, if you really want to participate in this industry, it is obviously not feasible to rely on earth cannons and play games that grab and go.

So, should Shuntian Satellite TV concentrate its energy and funds on the film industry?

No kidding.

Not to mention that the operation of television stations, especially satellite television stations, is franchised by the state, which is one of the most privileged and profitable businesses, even if they also have a film and television production license, they are afraid that they will not really be able to focus on the production of films with great risks.

Even if they want to play big...... Do you think a film company is so easy to play from production to distribution?

Of the original three giants in the domestic film industry, which one has not developed for more than ten years to get to where it is today? And the special case of Minghu culture is also because of the existence of Li Qian, a bug that is almost undefeated and unmistakable, that it has gone against the trend step by step to today.

You have a TV station that wants to squeeze in and play a movie...... It's still the same sentence, it's okay to play tickets occasionally, and I'm going to fight it in, so forget it.

So...... The conclusion is that Lin Xianzhi almost has to change jobs!

When he returned to his presidential suite in the hotel inside the film and television city with the materials in his hand, Li Qian had just adjusted the water temperature and was about to take a shower, and then went to eat, but suddenly remembered one thing-

It seems that on the fourth day of the Lunar New Year this year, he got together with Lao Wei and Lao Feng and their gang, and Lao Wei vaguely mentioned it, saying that he was going back to find a time, and he had something to trouble himself?

Looking back now...... Well, Li Qian probably understood what might be going on.

Still, it's a good thing!

Ma Yu'er finished taking a shower, Li Qian didn't care about going to the restaurant to eat, simply wiped his body, sat on the sofa with his bare buttocks, took his mobile phone, and dialed Wei Ping's phone.

However, after a few polite words, he took the initiative to pull the topic to "The True Story of Zhong Kui", and Li Qian also praised the director of this drama particularly "explicitly", but Wei Ping sighed helplessly and said: "Originally, I planned that if she messed up this film, she would honestly arrange someone to let her marry." Later, when she finished the post-production, I watched the film and felt that it was actually good, so I thought that if I could make some achievements, I would entrust you to help me bring it when I turned around, and maybe I could become a famous director or something......!

Li Qian asked dumbly, "It's good! Then ......."

Before Li Qian finished speaking, Lao Wei sighed again, "It's useless! It's late!

After a pause, she said helplessly: "Didn't I still say during the Chinese New Year, let's talk about it again when we find a time? It's just for this matter, as a result, the movie was released a few days ago, and the results were good, I greeted your old Qi on the front foot, and expanded the scale of the release for her, and before I could contact you to talk to you about it, the back foot people resigned!"

He sighed, "I can't stop her from resigning, can I? I can't say that she is my daughter......!" On the day of her resignation, she came to my office and told me that she had already negotiated with a film and television company, and preparations for the next drama had begun, and it was planned to start filming in June and release it at the end of the year...... Tell me, this ...... What can I do? The wings are stiff, and she keeps complaining that I won't give her a mother's name, alas......"

In other words, it was finally wild in China that a director who looked very promising in the future, and it was a duck that was almost in his mouth, and he actually flew it!

Wei Ping said: "I told her the road I arranged for her, and told her, don't care what contract she signed with that side, you, plus me, we will come forward, and the other party will not lose face." And guess what? The girl told me that her biggest goal was to surpass you......!

"Qian'er, brother, if there is anything wrong with that girl's talk and do things in the future, for example, your work is met on the movie schedule, you look at your brother and my face, don't be like her, don't worry about her, who told her to call you uncle? right? Let her ...... a little."

Li Qian was speechless.

Anyway, he always had to comfort him a few words, and then hung up the phone, Li Qian sighed and collapsed on the sofa.

Really...... Helpless!

The door lock suddenly came with the sound of the electronic lock turning, and then Bai Yujing pushed the door in his hand and walked in, and at first glance, he saw Li Qian paralyzed on the sofa in the living room, and couldn't help but show a look of disgust, his eyes were still looking, but his mouth said, "Huh...... You're disgusting...... You can't just wear pants or something!"

Li Qian didn't bother to fight with her anymore, so he stretched out his hand directly, "Bring the room card, don't go to the hotel to ask for a spare card for my room, okay?"

Bai Yujing raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and when he returned his hand, he closed the door with a snap.

"Miss Ben took it, and I'll take it next time, what's the matter?"
