Chapter 67: Don't Fall!

Originally, after the filming of "Red Sorghum", Li Qian should have breathed a sigh of relief. Pen Fun Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info

But now, the World Cup happened, and he returned to Shuntianfu after filming "Red Sorghum", although the pace of life slowed down all of a sudden, he had to put this matter on the agenda.

At the very least, start thinking carefully.

First of all, do it, or don't do it?

It should be said that even Zhao Sicun came forward, and he did not shy away from saying bluntly, saying that he came on behalf of the relevant state departments, so basically, as long as Li Qian doesn't want to be restricted everywhere in the future, this album or single, regardless of the quality, must be done.

So, what to do?

Good football songs, sports songs, grab a lot of things, the things in Li Qian's head, domestic and foreign together, enough to do a good job of multiple albums.

However, since you want to do it, you Li Qian is now the "leader" of the domestic pop music scene, and you haven't made a move for a long time, and since you have made a move, you must not fall into the ranks!

Moreover, Li Qian's personal words are indeed very fond of football and football songs, and he can contribute to such a rare event as the country hosting the World Cup, and he is willing to bring out the best things.

Listening to Zhao Sicun's meaning, although many famous international singers have contributed, the country still prefers to choose a song written or sung by a domestic author as the theme song, that is to say, we are waiting for your things to come out as the theme song!

So, you have to go all out!

Latin style? Without Chinese style, it does not represent Chinese music and culture?

Come on!

This kind of World Cup theme song, of course, is best sung with local regional cultural characteristics, but more importantly, it is sung to people all over the world! Latin style is sung to Latin Americans in North America, opera style is sung to Europeans, African style is sung to the Black Brothers, and even has a strong rock style to sing to Britain -- as for Chinese style and Asian style, Li Qian really doesn't have a good and brilliant football song in his head, but this is not a problem, because singing to the Chinese people themselves does not necessarily have to be football, go." Acura prosperous", on the contrary, will have more appetite for the Chinese people.

Therefore, the selection of songs for the album is actually roughly drawn and pulled, and it is not too difficult.

Now the hard part is, how?

Although Liao Liao is very tired, more than four months of global publicity, coupled with the previous album recording or something, makes her now in a period of exhaustion, but as soon as she heard that she was going to make an album, she was very happy, Cao Zhan and Wang Huaiyu also agreed and were very positive, the problem is that Yu Dashao is very hesitant now.

If you don't do it in the name of the Big Four Beauty Bands, then, personally?

Li Qian didn't think it was good.

Disrupted his own established arrangement - in the form of a band, he did rock and roll, including football songs and other unrestrained things, while his own solo album was more popular and personalized.

However, no one is good at inducing depression.

So, Li Qian stayed in Jinan Mansion for a while, and then returned to Shuntian Mansion, while starting to think about the issue of album song selection, while accompanying a pair of children, which was regarded as giving himself a few days off.

Of course, the vacation can't be too long, because although the movie is finished, there is still a lot of heavy work waiting for him in the editing and production in the later stage.

Originally, Li Qian's work plan was to cut out the later "Red Sorghum" first, but "Huang Feihong" had to be processed later.

If you do "Red Sorghum" first, it is expected that you can make a similar one at the end of December, and then you can go to the Berlin Film Festival to register and participate, after all, in another time and space, "Red Sorghum" won the Golden Bear Award, which proves that the style of this film is very good for Berlin's taste. In this life, according to Li Qian's understanding, although the styles of the three major European film festivals have been fine-tuned, the overall style is not much different from that time and space, so I must try it in the past.

In this case, the first cut at the end of December, the final edited version will be refined in January, and the Berlin Film Festival will be participated in in February - provided that it can be selected, but Li Qian subconsciously feels that there should be no big problem.

Then, if this film can win an award or something, it will be released in China while it is hot, if it can't win the award, then rush to March and April, take advantage of the off-season of the market, start with a small-scale release of literary and artistic theaters, and make a dozen word of mouth, maybe you can also take it to participate in the domestic Yangcheng Film Festival or something, anyway, literary and artistic films must take the road of winning awards in the film industry - although Li Qian filmed "Red Sorghum" 's original intention is really not to win any awards, just to exercise his ability and accumulate experience for more follow-up movies, but since the film has been made, although the investment is not much, it is more than 10 million, so I must find the best way to sell it for money!

Then, in about March and April, the film festival journey of "Red Sorghum" should come to an end, and Li Qian can have two or three months to cut out "Once Upon a Time", and strive to arrange the schedule between September and October - well, it is another off-season in the traditional sense!

As a top star in the domestic entertainment industry, Li Qian makes movies, of course, he has his own box office bonus, not to mention that "My Sassy Girlfriend" not only verifies this, but also makes a good start for his directorial career, but a movie is a movie!

Li Qian never dared to hope that relying on the name "Li Qian" and copying a good thing from his head could be sold for money!

Whether it's the audience or the fans, they're not stupid, they're not so easy to fool!

You may be fooled once, and no one will pay attention to you the second time!

Therefore, whether it is "My Sassy Girlfriend" considering setting the Spring Festival file, "Red Sorghum" going to the film festival, or "Huang Feihong" initially considering setting the autumn file, its purpose is the same, that is, to establish his status in the film industry, as a director, and as a storyteller.

Strive to let more people buy tickets because "Li Qian is very good at making movies", rather than because "I like Li Qian very much", which seems to be the same difference at first glance, but in fact, the difference is very big.

But now, it is clear that plans have to change.

The World Cup is already in front of you, and Li Qian's time is a little insufficient.

So, he decided to make "Huang Feihong" first, take it to be released in the first half of next year, and wait for the World Cup to be completely over, and then slowly make "Red Sorghum", and leave it for February 03 to sign up for the Berlin Film Festival that year.

Because...... Although Li Qian judged in his heart that the box office of "Huang Feihong" is estimated to be much higher than "Red Sorghum", it can even become the most important film series of Minghu Culture in the next few years, helping Li Qian launch a new director, and can also launch a martial arts team belonging to Minghu Culture, as well as a martial arts kung fu superstar who will continue to be pushed out in the future, but in Li Qian's heart, "Red Sorghum" is much more important than "Huang Feihong"!

Because "Once Upon a Time" is only a commercial film, and it is a film with a limited market that can only be sold in East Asia and Southeast Asia, but "Red Sorghum", as an exercise work, is an extremely important foreshadowing and an extremely important exercise on his future path.

Of course, after returning to Shuntianfu, after a few days of rest, although he began to take Feng Bicheng to start pulling films and preliminary screening materials, there are still some things that Li Qian must do, such as "Young Bao Qingtian", which is being filmed in Huairou Film and Television City, he needs to go over to visit the class and drum up, after all, he is the boss!

For another example, Jin Han has completely finished "Full House of Romance", and his ambitious new movie "Peacock" is about to start preparations, although it is said that everything is subject to Jin Han's opinion, but if Li Qian completely does not do it, Jin Han will not be very happy!

Over the past few years, he seems to have come to understand, or at least learn, how to find the delicate balance between art and business!

To put it bluntly, although Qin Wei and Du Weiyun are masters and award-winning professionals, they don't lose money when their works are filmed, although they are not comparable to pure commercial films, but they can make money, and Zhao Meicheng's style is worldly and commercial enough, right? Li Qian's "My Savage Girlfriend" and Wu Han's "Across the Seas" are purely commercial, right? But you can't say that these two films are completely artistic, right?

Therefore, art films can also make money, and commercial films may not be artistic!

At the end of the day, it's up to you, as a director, to get the right balance between the two!

There can be an inclination, even a noticeable inclination, but not weightlessness!

As the film and television director of Minghu Culture, and the only person in the company who is qualified to direct film works except Li Qian, Li Qian has always been quite optimistic about the future of Jin Han.

Therefore, he is happy to help Jin Han when he is in need, even if it is just to discuss something with him, as long as he can help him mature quickly and thoroughly, it will be worth it!

And then, just like that, before you know it, October passed.

Zhao Sicun didn't urge again, not even two phone calls, but Li Qian knew that he had to start working on it - the theme song of the World Cup can't come too late!

After all, no matter how good a song is, it takes a certain amount of time to spread and ferment!

However, without Yu Bojun, what are the four beauties still called?

In the end, Li Qian had to do it himself, and although Cao Zhan, Wang Huaiyu, and Liao Liao were all involved, they were all in the form of helping-without Yu Bojun, they were all working very hard and actively to help Li Qian do it, but they were too lazy to restart the name "Four Beauty Bands".

However, when the sample of the first song of the album was made, Yu Bojun had to go over and listen to it as soon as possible.

That night, he called and said, "I'll be there tomorrow!"
