Until he went downstairs and sat in the car, Li Qian's mind still clearly remembered Liu Chengzhang's stubborn eyes!

Suddenly, he couldn't help but think: "Maybe Liu Chengzhang himself actually knows very well what the problem with his final cut is......?" It's just that he can't make up his mind to make the final cut-off at all?"

On second thought, it's not necessarily impossible. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Of course, maybe it's not really inseparable, but there is an indescribable self-confidence and persistence in the depths of my heart, making the last support - from the beginning, you said that I was wrong here, wrong there, you kept saying, saying, saying, then I will prove it to you, I am not wrong, you are all wrong!

Raising his hand and rubbing his forehead, Li Qian couldn't help but sigh.

Just two days ago, He Yingyu came over with the story synopsis and role-based script of Qin Wei's new movie "The Gate of Life and Death", and wanted Li Qian to talk about the drama first, so as not to be trained by Qin Wei when he entered the crew, and he was embarrassed and wronged. As a result, Li Qian was speechless after reading the synopsis of the story, and he didn't say anything for a long time.

The script ...... tells a story that is inexplicable in Li Qian's opinion, and I don't know if it's a story!

So, Li Qian had to tell her, how do you understand yourself, how to behave when the time comes, because Qin Wei has a hobby of guiding actors, as long as you humbly ask for advice, he won't be angry if you can't enter the play at first.

Then, when she left, Li Qian pondered for a long time.

Why? It's just incomprehensible!

According to the principle of barrel theory, as long as you have a short board, no matter how long the other planks are, it will not affect the maximum water storage capacity of the barrel, and it will always be the shortest plank that determines the water storage capacity of the barrel.

In the time and space he once experienced, the script was the most conspicuous shortcoming of the Chinese film industry, and it seems to be the case when he came to this time and space!

A dignified film master, claiming to invest 80 million to make a commercial blockbuster, but the script he came out with didn't even have a complete and mature story!

Is it true that Chinese filmmakers don't make up stories, or do Chinese not have the talent to make up stories?

Of course not!

In another time and space, Hong Kong in the eighties and nineties gave birth to countless classic movies and classic stories, and also became popular one after another top superstars who had considerable influence in all of Asia!

Chow Yun-fat, Jackie Chan, Jet Li, Stephen Chow, each of these star-studded names has the imprint of many classic characters, which fans will never forget after many years, and every classic role is obviously from a wonderful story and a classic movie!

To put it mildly, even Wong Kar-wai, who seems to care about the story of the movie the most, Wong Kar-wai, who claims to have never had a script before filming, and Wong Kar-wai, who claims to sell emotions, atmosphere, and mood, actually attaches great importance to the story.

In fact, when it comes to this time and space, when it comes to Qin Wei, can you say that he can't make movies and tell stories? Obviously not! Although "Red Light District" is a literary film, the story is quite touching -- in fact, only when the story moves people first, the kind of humanistic care that the director wants to convey, the kind of excavation of the dark side of society and the dark side of human nature, can really be transmitted to the audience and shocked the audience!

Another example is Liu Chengzhang, with the name of a dead movie like "The Swordsman and the Monk", he can actually sell 270 million at the box office, can you say that he Liu Chengzhang can't tell stories?

Apparently impossible!

In the past, he not only knew how to tell stories, but he could tell stories very well, and even put a charming package on the stories! This is why "The Swordsman and the Monk" is a record-breaking hit!

It's just that...... Now they are all too powerful!

So strong that it has lost the power to restrain it!

Or in other words, Chinese, as long as they are Chinese, have a natural desire to tell stories in their bones!

But it's a pity that the story, or the story in the movie, is not everyone can tell it well, even if you are a film master, a world-renowned director, you may not be the one who is the best at telling stories!

But when it comes to Qin Wei and Liu Chengzhang, their desires and ambitions have swelled to the point where they think they can tell the story in their hearts without leaving the screenwriter!

Or rather, they think that their ideas can already override the screenwriter's script!

It's a pity that in Li Qian's opinion, they didn't talk about it well!

Without the screenwriter, they may still be an excellent director, but it is difficult for an excellent director like them to make a good feature film!

Just like Zhang Guoshi of the time and space that Li Qian once experienced.

Of course, this is an old topic again, why did the directors who emerged in Hong Kong in the eighties and nineties not swell after success?

In fact, they have also swelled, including Stephen Chow!

But the problem is that Hong Kong is narrow and has few people, so the directors and actors who grew up in the film and television circles there often grew up wearing multiple hats!

At least seven or eight out of ten of their directors started as screenwriters!

Things are so strange, professional, well-structured, and categorical professional education can cultivate world-class masters and top professionals in all aspects, but there is almost no formal training, and they are basically filmmakers who have grown up barbarically, although they lack a palace-level thick heritage, but they are often more comprehensive, at least there are no particularly obvious shortcomings!

Moreover, the country is very large, so big that even if it is a literary film, there is enough population and audience base to support it, so it is easy for everyone to fall in the direction of literary films, and Hong Kong is narrow and has few people, and the box office is the lifeline, but on the contrary, the movies that grew up in that environment will have the least respect for the audience from beginning to end!

In other words, it is respect for the market and the box office!

Therefore, no matter how much they swell, they will honestly tell a story first!

For five or six minutes, Li Qian didn't speak or move, until the driver of the commercial vehicle took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Li, are we leaving?" Xu thought that Li Qian was waiting for Lu Ming, and he also specially explained, "Manager Lu came by car." Li Qian came back to his senses, sighed again, slumped on the seat, waved his hand, and said, "Let's go, go back!"

As a result, halfway through, I received another call from Hu Fei.

His tone is quite brisk, after all, although it is not that no one disagrees, but for him, Liu Chengzhang's ability is still very trustworthy, and whether it is the two producers of their company, or the representatives of the theater side - especially the opinions of the theater side of the film experts - they are still unanimously optimistic about "Sword Fairy".

What's more, with Hu Fei's city government and wisdom, it is obvious that he will not immediately put on a face just because someone sings a few words about their company's films - he is a businessman, not an artist.

As soon as the phone was connected, he smiled and said, "I just said I won't let you go, let's have a drink together at noon!" As soon as you left, Brother Xin, the professor Xin who has similar opinions between the two of you, came to me and asked me where you were, saying that I wanted to talk to you, but you ran away in advance!"

Li Qian smiled, "I still have some things to deal with at hand, and I don't dare to drink if I stay." Let's go back, let's find a time to get together again. By the way, you can leave my number with Professor Xin, and I will be with him, which must be regarded as the same opinion, a fellow believer. I also want to talk to him. ”

Hu Fei laughed out loud and said "yes" in response.

But after a while, he asked again: "Are you really not optimistic about Lao Liu's film?"

After thinking about it, Li Qian said: "It's not that I'm not optimistic, it's just that the investment is too big." But with the strength of your company, and indeed this special effect is possible, if you do a good job of publicity, you should be able to recover the cost, right?"

Li Qian's tone was full of doubts!

Considering the production investment and publicity costs of this film, it is expected to exceed 130 million, nearly 140 million, basically, if this film wants to recover its investment, it must at least break the record of "The Swordsman and the Monk" - in fact, Li Qian himself feels that this should not be regarded as a decline, right?

But on the other end of the phone, Hu Fei was silent for a moment, smiled, and said: "Maybe it's Wang Po selling melons? I've watched it several times, and I've watched it several times before you came, so I don't think it's a big problem! I don't understand movies, I don't know any art or anything like that, I'm just a businessman, an ordinary audience, I think, this film should still be worth spending a dozen yuan to watch, right?"

Li Qian thought for a while and said, "Of course I want the film to be a big hit! Only a big hit can help me get the reputation of our company's special effects department out! The higher the box office, the better!"

Hu Fei laughed when he heard this.

…………

Hanging up the phone, Li Qian shook his head and smiled.

He could hear that a little doubt from two or three people did not shake Hu Fei's confidence in this movie at all, and listening to his tone, his psychological expectations for this movie are by no means just about keeping the capital!

"Then I can only wish you good luck!" Li Qian thought to himself.

The car was about to go downstairs to the company, and the mobile phone rang again, this time it was actually Fang Baijin calling.

Li Qian connected the phone, and heard Fang Baijin say directly: "You shouldn't have said those things just now, Lao Liu is very angry!" After a pause, he said: "It's not that you don't know his character, why do you lose face to him in front of so many people?"

Li Qian smiled, and after a while, asked, "He won't be the one who ranks me and Uncle Qin as the least welcome, right?"

Fang Baijin also laughed when he heard this, "You guys...... Alas!"

Li Qian said with a smile: "When the movie is released, if it is a big hit, then you can help me make an appointment, I will serve wine to Brother Liu to make amends, and admit that I said it wrong!"

When Fang Baijin heard this, he sighed again, and then he suddenly said: "You, with Lao Liu, with Qin Wei, you are really ...... To be honest with you, if you weren't so lucky to find a Mr. Qi to help you be a big housekeeper, what would you do now...... Hey, don't talk about it, and I'll be you!"

Li Qian was stunned for a moment when he heard this, and then sighed slowly and said, "Yes!"

"Actually, we are all the same people, stubborn, even paranoid!"
