In fact, there is no shortage of directors in Minghu Culture, but there is a lack of big directors with an international vision.

Moreover, after laying a solid foundation, today's Minghu culture is running at full strength like a machine with full horsepower, and the directors have a lot of work on their shoulders.

TV series aside, in terms of movies this year alone, there are a total of five works planned to be released by Minghu Culture, of which "Crazy Racing" is currently being screened, and there are as many as seven works planned to be filmed this year.

This does not include "Transformers", "Kung Fu Panda", which is still being filmed, and the first film shooting plans of the two new directors that are still being evaluated by the film and television department.

Han Shunzhang's first film directorial work "Police Story", the focus is to launch another newcomer actor of Minghu Culture, named Chen Haodong, which has been started after the Spring Festival, and is expected to be completed in May, and will be released around Christmas and New Year's Day.

Jin Han's "A Chinese Ghost Story" is currently in the late stage, this must be to get the summer file and face off with Hollywood blockbusters, Jin Han is full of confidence in his work, but he has made it clear that no matter how successful the box office is, he will not direct a sequel.

But once the movie is successful, a sequel is almost inevitable. The current plan is to produce two films for Jin Han, Fang Baijin, the great talent in Li Qian's heart, to direct the second part of "A Chinese Ghost Story". And if there is no accident, as soon as the box office results of Jin Han's "A Chinese Ghost Story" come out, preparations for the second part will start there, and filming will start in August and September at the latest.

As for Jin Han, although he politely rejected "Transformers", he is the most powerful among the current directors of Minghu Culture, and he also has a certain international vision, so everyone has discussed it before, and he also agreed that the next step will be to go to the United States for a year, responsible for producing a Sino-foreign joint venture, that is, a film jointly invested and produced by Minghu Culture and Colombia as a producer - a Chinese director, who has come to the current step of Jinhan, as long as "A Chinese Ghost Story" Success again, this path to the international stage, is almost inevitable.

In the past, going to Hollywood to make a movie, or going to Europe to win an award, can be understood as gilding, that is, raising the price, proving achievements or something, now, maybe this aspect is not so important, but after doing it in the Chinese market, it will be a very valuable thing for a successful Chinese director to go out and participate in international cooperation, learn about Hollywood's production methods, production processes, and even understand many subconscious film ideas in the hearts of Hollywood filmmakers.

If Chinese films want to go global, they must first learn about other parts of the world.

Therefore, after Jin Han rejected "Transformers", Li Qian planned to make a real action blockbuster for him, who had always wanted to make a "real action movie" and wanted to try "sharp editing".

"Spy Shadow"!

When the time comes, He Yingyu will be thrown over and play the heroine to consolidate her popularity in Europe and the United States.

Of course, it was the first time for Kim Han to work on this type of film, and he still had to work with a group of Chinese and Hollywood co-production teams, and Li Qian would be a little worried, so when the time came, he was planning how much he would help watch, and at the same time he was ready to ask John Days to come over and be a producer for him.

With John Days, an old fritter who has both ability and skill, to give Jin Han a hand, he can rest assured that he only needs to stare at Jin Han to make a movie.

In addition to Jin Han, Zhao He's "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression" has also been filmed and is in the post-production stage, but this movie is not ready to be arranged in the summer file, and the plan of the distribution department is to arrange it to be released in September or October - Zhao He was slightly unhappy, after all, although the box office of his last drama "Shaolin Temple" was worse than that of "Huang Feihong's Boy as Self-improvement", it was still not low, but it was recommended by the distribution department to avoid the summer file.

Zhao He is an honest man and is very down-to-earth, but when an honest person starts a small temper, it is even more difficult to greet - although the "Journey to the West" series is the story synopsis proposed by Li Qian, and the basic setting and direction of the whole story, the outline is grinded out little by little by Zhao He with the screenwriter team.

If the "Huang Feihong" series was created by Li Qian, and "Huang Feihong's Boy Should Be Self-Improvement" was Zhao He's follow-up to the entire series, and "Shaolin Temple" also relied on Zhou Baoshan to sell well, then he believes that this "Journey to the West" should be able to be classified as his own exclusive work to a large extent.

As long as this movie is successful, you will be able to prove your ability.

As a result, "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression" could not compete with Jin Han's "A Chinese Ghost Story", although Zhao He was not angry, he was a little angry, so he asked the second part to be put into production immediately.

After watching the rough cut of "Journey to the West: Demon Suppression", Li Qian nodded and agreed.

So, in April and May this year, the second part of the "Journey to the West" series, which was finally named "Journey to the West: Lady of the White Bones", will start filming.

Well, from another point of view, Zhu Qiang, who played the role of Tang Sanzang in the movie, has been filled this year.

There is no need to find an outside film appointment, this year's three productions on the side of Minghu Culture alone basically account for almost all of his year-round time - from last September to September last year, filming in one breath to after New Year's Day this year, until mid-January, "Journey to the West: Demon Conquering Chapter" was completed, and after taking a breath, the filming of "Journey to the West: Mrs. White Bone" will start, assuming that the schedule starts in April and shoots in August, then then, the second part of "A Chinese Ghost Story" will be connected, and this time, it will be filmed until the end of the year.

Then, there is Feng Bicheng.

"Crazy Stone" is still in theaters, but when he came back after the end of the promotion, he had already talked to Li Qian about the plan for the new movie, and Li Qian had already read the script a few days ago, and only adjusted a few places, and then signed and approved it - the script outline and character design were originally provided by him.

The name of Feng Bicheng's new movie is called "Speeding Scandal".

Well, the male protagonist is Zhou Zhiyu, and if the heroine is the heroine, because of Jin Han's strong recommendation, Li Qian also thinks it is quite suitable - mainly because she is young, and in modern dramas, she will look very tender - so he decided on the actress who was discovered by Jin Han to play Nie Xiaoqian in "A Chinese Ghost Story", Lu Xiaosu.

Well, it's a very interesting and fun girl.

Li Qian has been in contact with her a few times, this girl's personality is out-of-tact and interesting, which is not the same thing as Nie Xiaoqian she played in "A Chinese Ghost Story". Therefore, Li Qian believes that she should be able to play the young unmarried mother who can sing and dance well in "Speeding Scandal".

By the way, she said it herself, her original name was not Lu Xiaosu, just because she was too noisy since she was a child, and later her father was really unbearable, so he renamed her Lu Xiaosu - in the Three Kingdoms, Lu Su was the second governor of Eastern Wu, and it is said that he was diligent and cautious, so Lu Xiaosu and her father hoped to use this name to suppress his daughter, so that she would not talk so much in the future.

Well, of course, it doesn't work out too well.

In addition to "Spy Shadows", this year's co-production plan between Minghu Culture and Colombia also has a love-themed movie, and Li Qian also plans to use this film to send another director to the world, and then, the heroine will also be won by the way.

The best at romance movies on the side of Minghu Culture is, of course, Lu Lingxi.

As for the heroine, it is tentatively Qin Jingjing.

Well, the current script of this play, Li Qian has been revised, called "People and Ghosts Are Not Over".

In addition, Minghu Culture also plans to invest in two other dramas this year, one is to participate in the investment, the director is Guan Ziping's new film, the director of last year's popular "Happy Family", which is 70% invested by Lehe Film Company and enjoys the copyright, and Minghu Culture invests 30% and enjoys the right to distribute it worldwide.

Well, after "Happy Family" proved his ability to make comedies, Guan Ziping changed his path, this time it is an action movie, the movie is tentatively named "Murder Permit", and the total planned investment is 50 million Chinese yuan.

The heroine of the movie is currently inviting Qin Jingjing.

And another play, it's interesting, it's called "Bragging Makes People Progress", it is a book tossed out by Mu Xiaoshuai, the leader of the screenwriting team of the Minghu Culture Film and Television Department, Han Shunzhang solemnly recommended it, Jin Han praised it, Feng Bicheng hoped to leave it for himself to shoot next year, and Li Qian was also praised after watching it.

But Mu Xiaoshuai said that he hopes that he can be a director and shoot this book.

As a graduate of the 93-level screenwriting department of Shuntian Film Academy, it has been four or five years since he joined Minghu Culture, and he has been serving as the leader of the screenwriting team.

As for the actors of this play, it is also up to him to choose.

As a result, he came to the door one by one with the script, and almost effortlessly persuaded every actor he wanted - the three leading actors, Huang Ge, Liu Zhongxin, and Zhong Yuanfu. The only important female character, the deer spirit rhino.

With such a book, the three actors he was looking for, Li Qian knew as soon as he looked at the planning book that Mu Xiaoshuai really had a score in his heart, and he was very stable!

…………

Suddenly at a certain moment, Li Qian stopped, then he sat up straight, and his fingers tapped rhythmically on the coffee table for half a minute, and then he picked up his mobile phone and dialed a call.

"We're going to do that Transformers with Columbia, you know, right?"

"Ang, you know, what's wrong?"

"If I say, I want to leave it to you to shoot, and shoot the 3D version directly, do you dare?"

"Then what's not to dare?"

"At least an investment of 200 million US dollars, maybe it can reach 250 million US dollars, which is comparable to "Avatar", if you lose it, you will ...... in the future."

"Don't worry! You don't know me yet? I never know how to write a word I'm afraid of! If you hit the street, I'll give you a hand for the rest of your life! Can you still reward me for food?"

"Really not scared?"

"Don't be scared!"

"Okay! That's you!"

…………

At the beginning of March, Minghu Culture officially announced that it would prepare for the construction of Feng Bicheng's personal studio and He Yingyu's personal studio, and immediately afterwards, Liu Chengzhang announced that he had signed a contract with Minghu Culture, and would build a new Liu Chengzhang personal studio on the basis of the personal studio that had been suspended and lost its affiliation, and was affiliated with Minghu Culture.

So far, Minghu Culture has successively announced the establishment and affiliation of personal studios, as many as seven, namely: Feng Yumin, Jin Han, Han Shunzhang, Bai Yujing, Liu Chengzhang, He Yingyu and Feng Bicheng.

At this point, many people in the industry predict that Zhou Baoshan's departure from Minghu Culture is a foregone conclusion.

Many people gloat, thinking that Li Qian worked hard to pick up an international superstar, but he didn't go to jail and ran away, and some people analyzed that the two sides should not have agreed on the salary of the sequel to "The Matrix", so Zhou Baoshan decided to leave Minghu Culture, and Minghu Culture had to temporarily shelve the sequel plan of "The Matrix" because the actor did not get it.

In short, there is everything to say.

As for "The Matrix", a super blockbuster that ranked second at the global box office, the sequel plan was temporarily shelved, countless people in the industry sighed: I think these two sides are really stupid! Zhou Baoshan's offer is a little lower, and Minghu Culture gives a little higher, isn't it over, everyone cooperates to make money!

The result is good, now the sequel plan has been shelved, Minghu Culture has put a movie that is more profitable than the "Huang Feihong" series in vain, and although Zhou Baoshan has left and is free, he has also lost this blockbuster series that can help him consolidate his position in the global film industry!

But at this time, just after the opening celebration of Liu Chengzhang, Feng Bicheng and He Yingyu's studio, in March 2006, Minghu Culture held several press conferences and intensively announced the next production plans - when these plans were released one after another, countless people in the industry were dumbfounded.

Among them, especially "Transformers", which will be jointly invested and filmed by Columbia and Minghu Culture, made everyone stunned and shouted incomprehensible-

"Transformers" live-action film, the planned total investment of 230 million US dollars, of which Columbia Pictures invested 180 million US dollars, Minghu Culture invested 50 million US dollars, the film will be the same as the completed "Avatar", using 3D-IMAX plus 2D synchronization to shoot, the main filming locations will be all over the world in many countries.

The producers of the movie are Li Qian and John Days, and the director of the movie is Sun Yuting, who once directed the third part of "Princess Huanzhu", but for many years has mainly appeared in the credits as the assistant director of Li Qian's film.

One...... Tiny ...... TV drama director!

Jump to direct a super production with an investment of more than 200 million dollars!

After seeing the name Sun Yuting and figuring out who she is, whether it is China or Hollywood, everyone thinks that they can wait to see the jokes.
