In late September and early October, the Great Wall is a great place to visit.

Accompanied by several staff members, Hu Fei and Qin Wei climbed the Great Wall of Xifengkou with their front and back feet.

The Great Wall is currently being renovated by the relevant state departments, and it is said that it will be open to the public in about a year or two - at this time, you can also see that there are staff members who are busy and don't know anything.

Anyway, when it comes to making money, in fact, the country is quite active.

Qin Wei's agent Du Chengbang stood on a battlement and glanced down, seemed to feel a little passionate, and couldn't help but say to Qin Wei: "Boss, look, from here, if you come to a confrontation here, can you shoot particularly bloody?"

Qin Wei turned his head and glanced in the direction he said, but he didn't mean to be excited, he just nodded slowly, and then continued to frown and think hard.

Hu Fei glanced back at a few staff members who were not far away, and then looked at Qin Wei, thinking that he was worried about some other problems, so he walked over and whispered: "It is not easy to win it according to reason, but it doesn't matter, if you want to shoot a real scene here, I will definitely help you get it." It's those battle scenes, it's definitely going to depend on the post-production special effects, we can't really destroy the Great Wall, can we!"

Qin Wei turned his head to look at him and nodded again, but still didn't speak.

Hu Fei was a little surprised.

Today, everyone drove so far to come over to see if this place was suitable for filming, but everyone was very excited, but Qin Wei didn't say a word, what do you mean?

He wanted to ask, but at this time, there were six or seven people traveling with him, so he temporarily suppressed the suspicion in his heart, and when he saw Qin Wei continuing to walk forward, he just followed behind, thinking about asking him what he was thinking when he went back.

As a result, he came with great interest, but because Qin Wei looked like he didn't belong, he seemed a little disappointed, and when the group went down, Hu Fei deliberately fell behind, distanced himself from others, and said to Qin Wei: "You should let Lao Gu come with you today, and he can help you conceive the scene or something." ”

The old Gu he said is Qin Wei's hardcore partner, a famous top photographer in China, Gu Shidao.

But this sentence still failed to wake up Qin Wei, he still just said "um", and he still didn't seem to have the slightest intention to speak.

Hu Fei was bored again, so he had to go down.

When they returned to the bottom of the mountain, Qin Wei said that he would not look at it, and the group drove back the same way.

On Hu Fei's luxurious run, when the car was running on a good road, he finally couldn't help but ask: "What's the matter? Why are you so listless?"

Qin Wei rubbed his chin, the impressive wrinkles on his thin and thin face in the past six months were constantly changing shapes by him, and after a while, he suddenly asked, "How is the progress over there, Xiaojing?"

Hu Fei scratched his head and said helplessly: "What else can I do, grinding! Xiaojing learned from you that the attitude of making movies is really good, but I just didn't learn your ability! No way, the whole crew accompanies her to grind the scene!"

After a pause, he said: "Fortunately, I also called Lao Gu yesterday to ask him, and I heard what he meant, and he is currently on the right track, and the filming cycle will probably not be delayed for too long compared to the expected one." ”

Qin Wei let out another "um" and nodded.

Hu Fei died helplessly.

said that it was this master who wanted to come and see this section of the Great Wall at Xifengkou, but after he came, he didn't say a word from beginning to end, and it was also this master.

You can't lose your temper with him yet!

can only accompany him in a daze.

But, on the other hand, it's also a good thing.

Hu Fei still remembers clearly that this was said more than ten years ago, Qin Wei has been known as the most outstanding work "Red Light District" so far, before the start of filming, this master was also like this, in a daze day by day - one day, this master also took him, and the two of them ran to a small county town hundreds of miles away, and stayed for more than half a month on the "massage silk foot street" where there were many shots in the movie.

You must know that in order to prepare for that film, Master Qin has been in many small counties for a long time, but he still feels that it is not enough, so he pulls himself up and continues to find a street, visiting, observing, and spending money to chat with those girls. Then, in a daze.

Therefore, every time he turned his head and saw him crooked in his seat in a daze, Hu Fei couldn't help but think: "It seems that Lao Qin is going to play big this time!" I hope that "The Great Wall" can shoot the momentum of "Red Light District" and get "The Matrix...... Well, if you can't get that level, the box office of "The Gate of Life and Death" will be fine! As long as it doesn't look like "Golden Stage"!"

Suddenly, Qin Wei turned his head to look over and asked, "How is the contact with the United States?"

Hu Fei's eyes lit up when he heard this, and he immediately said: "No problem! The first line and the super first line, we can't invite them, but the few people who came up in the second line, and even two quasi-first-line, as soon as they heard that it was your movie, and it was planned to be made into a global-style costume special effects blockbuster, they all expressed interest, and a few of them said that they were looking forward to receiving an audition invitation!"

Qin Wei nodded slowly when he heard this.

Hu Fei said with a smile: "If you want to talk about it, you still have to thank Li Qian." "The Matrix" became a hit, and many large Hollywood studios were impressed by the production ability of Chinese films. He is popular, not only Zhou Baoshan and He Yingyu, but also many companies are interested in Chinese films. You are a great international director, and you have had the great success of "The Gate of Life and Death", and this time it is a story that decided to operate internationally, so of course, they are all interested. I'll tell you, if you don't agree, I'll be able to talk to a few companies in the U.S. about the North American distribution right now. ”

This time, Qin Wei smiled. He could hear the smugness in Hu Fei's words.

This pride also made him feel a little comforted.

Although "Golden Stage" is a bit of a failure, coupled with the fact that Li Qian's side has been selling one after another and is in the limelight in recent years, it seems that he is not as beautiful as before, but as long as he mentions Chinese movies and Chinese directors, his name is still unavoidable.

That's good!

This shows that as long as you do this film well, even if you look at the global market, you still have the power to fight!

But......

It seemed that he felt that the topic had opened up a bit, and he also saw the long-lost smile on Qin Wei's face, Hu Fei couldn't help but ask again: "I think something is wrong with you today, what's wrong?"

Qin Wei thought for a moment and said, "I think...... Not really. ”

Hu Fei was stunned for a moment, "Not very good? What is not good? You mean this section of Xifengkou? It's okay, where do you want to go and see, let's just go and see it!"

After saying this, Hu Fei clearly saw Qin Wei pursing his lips and shaking his head with a frown.

Then, he said, "I mean, I think...... I think the story of "The Great Wall" ...... Not so good!"

Hu Fei was a little confused.

The story of "The Great Wall" is Qin Wei who put forward the outline of the main plot, although it is still in the stage of grinding the script, but it is all about the details, the main plot is determined by Qin Wei, and the few large-scale battle scenes that he especially wants to shoot are obviously impossible to become.

According to the plan and schedule agreed upon by everyone, around the end of the year, the final draft of the script will be completed, and the location survey will be selected, and Hu Fei will also be responsible for contacting a top special effects company in Hollywood, and from the beginning of the filming period, the special effects company will follow up synchronously - this drama will start filming in March and April, and it will be completed before the end of June, and by the end of the year, it will be released simultaneously worldwide!

Even like he said it himself, he's now contacting distributors in North America and Hollywood stars at the same time!

It can be said that around the project "The Great Wall" proposed by Qin Wei, the entire Huafei Film and Television has been completely launched in less than a month, like a sophisticated and huge machine, and began to run at full speed - at this time, Qin Wei actually said that the story of "The Great Wall" is not very good?

Hu Fei was stunned for a while, looked at Qin Wei cautiously, and asked, "Then what do you mean? change the team, overturn and rewrite the script?" or ......?"

Qin Wei shook his head.

As soon as he shook his head, Hu Fei's heart fell vigorously.

Qin Wei said: "I have been looking back and thinking over and over again, and the idea of "The Great Wall" is true that I put forward, but I am a little unsure in my heart, whether a story like this can be filmed with real and good things! I always feel ......."

Hu Fei couldn't wait to interrupt him, "My Master Qin, this is a commercial film! We are selling special effects, and what we are selling is your scheduling of pictures and scenes! This kind of commercial film, you must not think about playing depth for me, really, this is not "Red Light District"! If you want to play depth in this kind of film, you will die!"

Qin Wei frowned a little displeased when he heard this, and said, "It's a commercial film, but I think it's ...... How to put it, I think this story and plot are a bit ...... It's a bit ......."

Hu Fei interrupted him again, "Haven't we all discussed it! Foreign audiences, what we sell them is China's majestic buildings, the Great Wall! Plus we don't have to worry about money, but we can smash big scenes, and they like Hollywood superstars to play the leading roles, they must love to watch it! Domestic audiences, what we sell them is you, your pictures, your scheduling ability, that's all top-notch! Plus the special effects are a little better, no problem, our domestic audiences, eat this set!"

Qin Wei shook his head when he heard this, and said, "I don't know the bottom in my heart!"

Hu Fei was speechless.

At this time, Qin Wei said: "Looking back now, although "The Gate of Life and Death" is very good at the box office, "Golden Stage" is a pounce! That is to say, my feeling for this kind of commercial film in my heart may not be right! I have deduced some Hollywood special effects blockbusters in the past, as well as Li Qian's "Huang Feihong" and "The Matrix", I think the reason why they sell well is like "The Matrix", a Chinese movie, Chinese heroes and heroines, actually in North America, It's selling so well all over the world, first of all, because it has a particularly good story setting! In comparison, I always feel that the story of "The Great Wall" is a bit different!"

Hu Fei frowned and thought for a long time, and said helplessly: "Then what should I do? You proposed this story, or let's gather a group of people after we go back, have a meeting, and re-examine a new version of the story?"

Qin Wei scratched his head and didn't speak.

Hu Fei said: "Then we can't go to Li Qian to ask for a book, right? You know, you ...... with him."

Qin Wei waved his hand, "That's not it! I won't go to someone else to ask for a story!"

Hu Fei spread his hands, "That's it!"

Qin Wei thought for a while and said, "Walking on this section of the Great Wall just now, I suddenly thought, isn't it a bit ...... for us to make up this new story of resisting the invasion of monsters from Chinese history, and it is also the Great Wall Not so good?"

He waved his palms and said, "I mean, it's too ridiculous to stand?"

Hu Fei immediately said: "How could it be! Then the pyramids have been blown up at every turn in American movies? It's only been a few years, and since special effects films have become popular, you can just watch them, which of those big cities in the United States has not been bombed? The United States is still full of vampires and werewolves, and the audience doesn't like to watch them all? I haven't heard of anyone who thinks that there are still vampires and werewolves in modern society, what is absurd? Even the Chinese audience loves to watch it!"

And that's true!

Qin Wei frowned and pondered for a moment when he heard this, and nodded slowly.

But soon, he added, "I'm thinking...... Do I want to make a good literary film first, and then make a romance film! The cost is low, and it is something that I am good at, so this time I can not shoot so sadly, and shoot a little more youthful and beautiful, will it be more secure?"

Hu Fei was speechless.

After a while, he said: "Blockbuster! Blockbuster! My Master Qin, I know that as long as you are willing to shoot, even if you get two rookie actors to go up and let them sit in front of the camera and talk about love for an hour and a half, some of them are willing to watch it." But what we need now is to make blockbusters! Only blockbusters can get high box office, and only blockbusters can make you raise your eyebrows and stand up again! Only blockbusters can open up our foreign markets and make you become a top international director who is not inferior to Li Qian on a global scale!"

"The cost is low? I don't need you to save me the cost! Make a literary film? No matter how good the filming is, how much money can it sell? "Red Light District" was popular enough at the beginning, but it didn't sell for a lot of money in Europe, and it couldn't sell in North America! "Red Sorghum" was also popular enough, but it wasn't that it still couldn't go abroad? Only a blockbuster like "The Matrix" and it exploded around the world really made Li Qian's identity as an international director!

Qin Wei nodded, but still said: "But I don't have too much confidence in this story and this movie now......!

Again, before he could finish speaking, Hu Fei had already waved his hand violently and said: "No in case! This story is particularly good, the Chinese ancestors have joined forces with foreign compatriots to resist the invasion of monsters in ancient times, and our ancestors have built such a great building as the Great Wall! This idea is absolutely reliable! After the filming, I am very confident that you will also successfully enter the North American market and create better box office results than a pure Chinese story like "The Gate of Life and Death"!"

Speaking of this, he soothed: "I said Master Qin, don't think about it, you can rest assured to shoot! If you are not satisfied with the script and the story, let's find a few more screenwriters, find top ones, and we will grind slowly until you are satisfied! Actor, whoever you want, as long as I can find it for you, we don't care about the salary! Whoever you want, we will find whomever you want!"

"I don't believe we can still lose!"

"I believe in your abilities!"

Qin Wei rubbed his chin again, and after a long while, he finally nodded.

"That's it!"
