It took more than two hours for Han Shunzhang to finally put down the plan book in his hand, and then subconsciously closed his eyes, raising his hand and rubbing his already sour eyes. Pen fun and pavilion www.biquge.info

A glass of warm water was placed at hand at this moment.

He picked up the cup and drank water, put a pair of soft hands on his shoulders, first helped him knead his shoulders, and then turned to rub his temples.

Han Shunzhang took a few more sips of water and put down the cup.

It seems that this glass of water, this minute or two of kneading, has eliminated the tiredness.

"How do you feel?" asked Zhu Yu behind him softly.

Han Shunzhang did not answer immediately.

At the moment, on the table in front of him, he watched it seriously for several hours, a total of two things, one is the final script of "Huang Feihong", and the other is "About Shooting and Distributing Movies" made by Huang Wenjuan and Sun Yutingof the plan.

Both documents are high-level secrets of Minghu Culture.

These two things were handed over to Li Qian after dinner when he arrived at the filming location of "Princess Huanzhu", and asked him and Zhu Yu to take a serious look, and in addition, they should not be spread or leaked.

Zhu Yu watched it at the time, but he kept pressing, just continued to put all his energy at that time into the filming of "Princess Huanzhu", until the filming was completed, and he was busy greeting and supervising the safe return of everyone and things in the crew.

Even when he returned home, he didn't rush to see it, but took a bath after eating and drinking, and slept beautifully first, this time, directly from yesterday afternoon, to noon today, nearly twenty hours!

got up, ate, and then saw that the weather was fine and windless today, so he and Zhu Yu went out for a walk together, and went to the supermarket to buy some food together. Walking and roaming, chatting about some common words, evacuating the tense mood for half a month.

When he came back from his walk, he sat down at his desk seriously and opened his file bag.

As early as more than a year ago, Han Shunzhang, like Jin He, was the two people with the highest level of authority in the entire Minghu Culture, Film and Television Department, second only to Li Qian. At that time, he had already read the script of "Huang Feihong" locked in the company's safe, and when he watched it again, he was still serious, and even based on the memory in his mind, he roughly judged that this final version, compared with the version he saw more than a year ago, should have made some minor adjustments in seven or eight details.

Of course, the script is no problem, Li Qian's script has always made him happy and convinced.

The story is a good story, and the characters are also wonderful.

It's just that after reading the script and the planning book, he always feels that there is still a trace of doubt in his heart.

Seeing that he didn't answer for a long time, Zhu Yu stopped what he was doing, lay on his shoulder, looked at him, and asked, "What's wrong?"

Han Shunzhang thought about it, reached out and touched the cigarette, lit one, but still hesitated and didn't speak.

Zhu Yu was really a little surprised at this moment, he picked up the script and planning book in the past, and looked at Han Shunzhang, "What's wrong? This book is Li Qian's, don't you think it's good?"

Han Shunzhang shook his head, and finally spoke: "There is nothing wrong with the book. ”

Zhu Yu was even more surprised when he heard this, "That's ...... Got a problem with the proposal?"

Han Shunzhang frowned when he heard this, but soon, he shook his head again, as if he was still entangled in his thoughts, and he didn't sort it out thoroughly, but he still tried to say: "The script is fine, the story is fine, and the specific planning, I can't tell what the problem is." Even if there is a problem, especially those budgets, they have to be calculated little by little and slowly summed up, I just think now, do we really want to make this kind of martial arts film?"

Zhu Yu was stunned when he heard this.

Han Shunzhang has continued: "In the past few years, the box office of martial arts films has become lower and lower, and the reputation has become worse and worse...... Actually, I just don't understand it, in my opinion, Li Qian's ability to see the market and judge the market is even higher than his ability to make works, and his judgment of the market, whether it is the record market or the film and television market, has always been so accurate! This allows him to be targeted, and he must hit it with one hit! Why ...... this time?"

Seeing that he frowned tightly, Zhu Yu said tentatively: "The reason why Li Qian wants to shoot this...... He must have seen something we couldn't see!"

Han Shunzhang nodded, but his brows were still furrowed.

Between the two, they know the most well, Zhu Yu couldn't help but say a little worried when he saw him like this: "You have an opinion, you can say it, but you must pay attention to the tone when you speak, this is different from others, after all, this is a project that Li Qian has been doing from beginning to end." ”

Han Shunzhang laughed when he heard this, patted his hand on the script, and said: "Of course, I have absolute confidence in him, you can rest assured of this! But since I am the manager of the film and television department of Minghu Culture, I am about to start preparations for the project, as long as I see and think of the problem, I must say it out loud!"

Zhu Yu shrugged his shoulders when he heard this, and shook his head helplessly.

But think about it again, the two of them went to Minghu Culture for two or three years, Han Shunzhang was directly the manager of the film and television department in the past, and it seems to be second only to Jin Han in name, but in fact, the internal status is not below him at all, this may have the reason why the film and television department of Minghu Culture was founded at the beginning, and it is really because no one is there, but in the final analysis, it is about Li Qian who actually appreciates the most, and it is precisely Han Shunzhang's uprightness?

Perhaps!

…………

The preparatory meeting for "Once Upon a Time" was held two days later in the morning.

The participants were all middle and high-level leaders in Minghu culture, film and television.

In addition to Li Qian and Jin Han, Zhao He and Huang Wenjuan represent the production team, Han Shunzhang and Lu Lingxi represent the director team, Mu Xiaoshuai represents the screenwriting team, Zhu Yu represents the art group, and Cao Zhan has gone to Changsha Mansion and is absent.

Sun Yuting also arrived and was in charge of taking minutes of the meeting.

In addition, there is another person who also sits at the bottom of the conference table, that is, the new deputy leader of the screenwriting team, Feng Bicheng - in terms of qualifications, he has the experience of being popular in "Two and a Half Heroes", in fact, he is slightly half a head higher than Jin Han, Han Shunzhang and others, but here, he can only accompany the last seat for the time being.

Zhao He first objected to Huang Wenjuan's 24 million filming budget for "Huang Feihong", in his opinion, this fund can be suppressed a little more, and strive to control it within 20 million, so as to minimize the future box office pressure.

Today's Huang Wenjuan is no longer the little assistant who followed Liao Liao's ass a few years ago, all the film and television works produced by Minghu Culture so far, each one has her name on it, she is getting more and more experienced, and her knowledge is getting more and more sophisticated, and when she speaks, her aura is naturally getting more and more sufficient.

So, in the face of Zhao He's questioning, she analyzed them one by one, and in the end, the two gave in to each other, Huang Wenjuan promised to go back and grind again, and strive to suppress the budget at about 2200, Zhao He also expressed satisfaction.

For the back and forth between the two of them, no one else can participate, even Li Qian is silent, but he knows very well in his heart that this is not so much more than the budget.

Because, the current salary budget for the actors in this drama is 5 million!

In fact, Li Qian felt that there were about two million, which was enough to get it all!

The reason is very simple, because of this new play, he will continue to use several completely new actors to play the starring roles - this alone can actually suppress the total budget around 20 million.

In all battles, if you don't win, you will lose first.

Before the film started, Li Qian had already calculated such an account in his heart: 20 million to shoot it, and in terms of distribution and publicity, it is estimated that another 20 million to 25 million will be smashed, and even 30 million must be psychologically prepared, which means that the total investment of this drama is actually about 50 million.

This is a modern drama, but after all, it is not the present, so there is basically no big sponsorship.

Producing the film by itself, distributing it by itself, and promoting it by itself, investing 50 million, it roughly needs to sell a box office of 80 million, which can be guaranteed - in Li Qian's judgment, there is almost no possibility of losing money in this drama.

Therefore, he is not too strict with the budget.

At the beginning of the preparatory meeting, there was such a crackle between Huang Wenjuan and Zhao He, and then, there was basically no opinion on the budget matter, everyone look at me, I look at you, I feel that there is nothing to say.

This is Li Qian's script, this will be a play directed by Li Qian, what is there to discuss?

Just listen to him!

But at this time, seeing that everyone had nothing to say, Mu Xiaoshuai cleared his throat and said: "I have a thing, a little confused! I carefully pushed this script, pushed it several times, I think Qian'er, what you mean, should focus on two things, one is patriotism, and the other is personal heroism...... How to put it, let me say, it should be regarded as a kind of concept of 'market hero'. ”

Seeing that Li Qian nodded and motioned for himself to continue, Mu Xiaoshuai continued: "I just want to ask now, this market hero, I noticed that there are a lot of cultural conflicts between the East and the West that are shown through jokes in the script, and I have some doubts about whether this style and this idea can be accepted and liked by the audience." Of course, I'm not questioning your thinking, I just need to make sure that you've thought about these things before you want to go down this path?"

Li Qian smiled suddenly when he heard this, and nodded solemnly, "Of course, after considering all the possibilities, I am still full of confidence in this road." ”

Mu Xiaoshuai nodded when he heard this, "That's okay! No one knows with 100% certainty that the audience will like it before a film is released, since you think it's okay, it's worth doing." ”

Li Qian smiled, nodded, and turned his head to look at Jin Han, who shrugged, "I have nothing to say." ”

Looking at Han Shunzhang, especially noticing that Han Shunzhang had been frowning since Mu Xiaoshuai spoke just now, Li Qian said with some expectation: "Old Han, tell me about it?"

Han Shunzhang suddenly laughed unexpectedly when he heard the words at this time.

Then, he shook his head and said with a smile: "Originally, I also had a few doubts, but when Xiaoshuai asked that question just now, he answered my questions all at once." ”

"That's right, the hero of the market!"

"I've been thinking about it for the past two days, now that the market for martial arts films is obviously not as good as before, why do you, who have always been good at coming up with new things, suddenly want to take the old road that others have already stepped on? So I read the script over and over again, but ...... I still don't see Xiaoshuai thoroughly, he is right, personal heroism! Market heroes! Those jokes in the middle, through the ugliness of a few supporting roles, just shortened the psychological distance between heroes and ordinary audiences, making this kind of national hero become a market hero around everyone!"

Speaking of this, he seemed to have all his doubts, and said seriously: "I don't have any opinions, this film is indeed just a one-time production! This idea is also worth a try! With Guo Yulong's Jianghu films, and Zheng Zhongyuan's martial arts films, they are not the same way!"

Li Qian smiled and nodded slowly.

In the bottom of my heart, there is an indescribable sense of satisfaction, but at the same time, I am slightly lost.

Originally, he prepared a set of rhetoric, ready to face everyone's doubts and solve their doubts. However, I don't know if it's because of their success in the past that they have too strong confidence in themselves, or because the people they recruited are really the best among the current generation of domestic filmmakers.

In short, they all seem to have quickly understood what they meant.

But on the contrary, their understanding, as far as the two people they have already spoken, are more or less different from what they really think in their hearts.

Personal heroism is actually not a great concept, and even in domestic movies, what Guo Yulong and Zheng Zhongyuan have been doing all along, are also authentic personal heroism movies.

And the so-called market heroes...... Well, this concept is actually correct, but it still passes by the concept of "kung fu movies".

In fact, the so-called "kung fu movies" and the so-called "market hero movies" are really not so easy to distinguish, and there doesn't seem to be a categorically different difference.

In another time and space, Jet Li and Jackie Chan are both world-famous kung fu superstars, and they are both well-known for kung fu movies, but in fact, if you think about it carefully, it's just a difference in saying!

The reason why their movies are very popular in the entire Oriental world is, in fact, in the final analysis, in addition to kung fu, the word "market" and the ubiquitous concept of the market in their movies are also inseparable at all - the difference is only that Jackie Chan is better at creating humor and jokes through the design of the plot and the process of fighting, while the characters played by Jet Li are mostly righteous, and his movies are always better at creating jokes through supporting roles.

In short, the existence of jokes has turned them from kung fu masters to "market heroes"!

So, well, since everyone has no opinions, and since in the final analysis, it can only be regarded as a kind of propaganda conceptual difference, then let's take back all the words that have been prepared for the time being! At this time, no matter how powerful the words and theories are, they are not as good as making a real movie, and then tell them: Look, the definition I gave him is called a kung fu movie!

So, ask again, everyone has no opinion, then arrange it, Zhao He and Feng Bicheng will be the assistant directors, Huang Wenjuan will be the executive producer, Sun Yuting will continue to be the assistant director, and the new play will officially start preparation.

Then, Li Qian announced the adjournment of the meeting.

…………

Hearing that there were no names of his own among the main members of the crew, not even the assistant director, Lu Lingxi couldn't help but feel a touch of loss in his heart.

She originally thought that Li Qian should let herself continue to be the director's assistant in this play, but it was Sun Yuting, the original production assistant, who turned to be the director's assistant.

And he didn't seem to be included in the consideration of this crew.

Li Qian announced the adjournment of the meeting, everyone got up one after another, and the loss in Lu Lingxi's heart flashed, and he also stood up and prepared to leave.

But at this moment, Li Qian suddenly spoke: "Teacher Lu, you stay for a while." ”

Lu Lingxi was stunned for a moment when he heard this.

Sun Yuting turned her head and glanced at her as she was leaving.

But most people didn't think there was anything wrong, got up one after another, and left one after another.

When everyone left, Li Qian got up and went over to close the door, turned around and said, "Sit, sit down." ”

As he spoke, he himself went over and sat down casually opposite Lu Lingxi.

Lu Lingxi looked at him, and there was a faint expectation in her heart - she resigned from the position of the director of the photography department of the film academy, which can be called the illustrious film academy, and came to a company like Minghu Culture, but she started as an assistant director, and even followed by her own students...... Is it in charge of the guide?

The two were separated by a conference table, and Lu Lingxi looked at him expectantly, "Something?"

Lu Lingxi originally thought that Li Qian asked him to stay, presumably because he had some other tasks, for example, Jin Han was going to shoot a TV series this year, which is said to be the way of urban romance dramas, called "Full House of Romance". And as the existence of the Minghu Culture, Film and Television Department second only to Li Qian, after he completes the task assigned to him by Li Qian, he will also start a movie called "Peacock".

Not to mention, several middle and high-level personnel in the Minghu Culture, Film and Television Department know that in the second half of this year, Li Qian has a movie that has been accumulating for a long time to be launched!

Therefore, in fact, even if you fail to participate in Li Qian's "Huang Feihong", there are still many opportunities within the company.

And what Lu Lingxi is looking forward to most at this time is about an assistant director or something like an assistant director for several other plays except "Huang Feihong" - for the time being, she doesn't dare to think about directing directly, especially after filming two plays with Li Qian, she understands better that if she wants to direct independently, she still needs to learn at least a few more plays.

At least the ability to control the overall situation as a director is what I lacked when I was trapped in the ivory tower before, and this ability needs to be tempered slowly through practice again and again.

But at this time, it seemed that God did not obey people's wishes, and the first sentence Li Qian said made her stunned for an instant - the whole person felt almost completely stupid at that time.

He said: "Mr. Lu, are you interested in playing the heroine in my new play "Huang Feihong"?"
