Chapter 118: Ambition
The two of them drove one by one, came to a mountain city hot pot restaurant, and directly ordered a large table of dishes.
After a day of running, Li Qingfeng unceremoniously ate it.
"Second brother, today you are a big failure, chasing girls, according to the seven-character mantra, you are bold, careful, and thick-skinned.
Especially for a successful man like you, a director who earns hundreds of thousands of dollars a year, what kind of girl does he want? An ordinary salesman, as long as he follows the seven-character mantra, is it difficult?"
Li Qingfeng's tone was a little teasing, girls are not all money worshippers, but there is no doubt that excellent men with outstanding abilities are always more popular, just like fair-skinned and beautiful girls are always more sought after than short and ugly women.
Worshipping the strong and pursuing the excellent is something engraved in the genes.
"You're too young to understand. ”
Wei Yuanxing didn't say much, but the loneliness on his face was clearly visible, and the vicissitudes of life on his body were impressive.
How much does a man's maturity have to be suppressed, tempered and destroyed by life?
But when you can shoulder the responsibility on your shoulders and there is no confusion in your eyes, you can call it mature.
A man who has not been raised in a greenhouse and has never seen wind and rain and can still hold up the heavens and the earth.
This is a man with a story, Li Qingfeng looked at him deeply.
"It's okay if you don't want to say it, you can take the initiative to ask that Miss Zhou to eat, go shopping, and watch movies another day.
It's best to wait until our movie is released to take her, and then point to those actors and say, do you see, this, the role I chose, if I hadn't made the decision, this kid wouldn't even be able to enter the door."
Li Qingfeng said vividly, and Wei Yuanxing looked like a villain.
"They say that there is a genius, but I have never seen it before, I have always doubted that there is really a genius? But after meeting you, I realized that there is no more suitable name for you.
Qingfeng, here are the two of us, what are the expected box office of this movie? To be honest, don't say anything about 100 million to deceive me. Although today's CCTV live broadcast of that advertisement is very good, you must tell me the truth."
Looking at the other party's serious look, Li Qingfeng couldn't help but laugh dumbly, and said softly: "Second brother, 100 million is indeed nonsense."
Wei Yuanxing nodded with satisfaction, yes, although this movie is good, how can 100 million be reached? Which one of the people who has broken through 100 million now is not a recognized great director?
In his estimate, 50 million is the minimum guarantee, and 80 million is the goal, after all, there is only 5 million investment, and it is nearly enough for him to be able to achieve this goal.
But Li Qingfeng's next sentence made him squirt out the hot soup in his mouth.
"100 million is impossible, conservative estimate of 300 million, optimistic about 500 million"
Burst~
Ahem~
Wei Yuanxing hurriedly pulled out a tissue to clean his mouth, stared at Li Qingfeng with a neurotic expression, and said incredulously: "Qingfeng, are you crazy?"
Three hundred million, five hundred million? This is the box office of the people on the list of Chinese princes, you are making a movie for the first time, it is a good thing to have confidence, but this is inevitably too much, our cost is only five million."
The corners of Li Qingfeng's mouth hooked up a proud arc, and his tone was arrogant: "The directors of the Huaxia Princes and Marquis List?
If it weren't for the first part, 500 million would just be a conservative estimate, and when the time comes, the entire film industry, no, the entire entertainment industry, and the whole of China will be shocked by us, box office harvester, that is just the most common name"
Wolf Warrior, Operation Red Sea, I'm Not the God of Medicine, etc., these masterpieces in Chinese movies are still buried in my brain, and foreign Marvel, DC, and those superhero movies have not appeared.
Hundreds of millions? It's really a small box office.
Wei Yuanxing's face was still full of disbelief, although he was very confident in Li Qingfeng, this bold statement was beyond the limit of what he could accept.
"This, this is too exaggerated, let's really achieve a box office of hundreds of millions?!"
Li Qingfeng nodded affirmatively, with indescribable arrogance and ambition in his eyes: "I will let the whole world cheer for our films, and let the entire Chinese culture become popular in the world"
Why is the United States such a beautiful place in the hearts of many people? It is because of the credit of movies and TV series.
Foreign directors spread their culture, their beliefs, and their systems to the world through these, and when you accept the protagonist of the movie, it means that you recognize the other party's culture.
This is a cultural invasion, who in the last life didn't know the so-called freedom of those so-called masters in the United States?
But underneath the gorgeous exterior is nothing more than a capitalist society that is cruel to the extreme, cannibalism.
In a capitalist society, money is everything, selfish, greedy, and reckless, far more cruel than any Chinese person imagined.
Guns and drugs are everywhere in the paradise of that movie, a country that can't go out at 9 p.m., a country with one of the highest crime rates in the world, is not qualified to compare with China.
Benevolence, righteousness, etiquette, wisdom and faith, how can a group of nouveau riche with a history of only a few hundred years understand the essence of China.
Sadly, when we are too weak and are bullied by the other party, most people think that the other party is good and the other party is right, which is simply ridiculous.
But it takes time for us to rise, and it takes time for us to become the center of the world again, so we give the other side time for a cultural invasion.
In this life, Li Qingfeng has no other ideas, and also wants to have a cultural invasion and spread Chinese culture to the world again, just like the ancient Silk Road.
The Chinese civilization can become the only civilization that has not been broken for thousands of years, and its resilience and heritage can be compared with which nation and country?
"I'm really looking forward to this day."
Wei Yuanxing praised from the bottom of his heart, he had always overestimated Li Qingfeng, but he didn't expect to underestimate the other party in the end.
It's a big ambition.
As a filmmaker, exporting Chinese culture is definitely the ultimate dream of every director, just like a businessman hoping to monopolize the world and be an official in charge of a country, this is the ambition, every industry is different, and it is the same.
"Definitely, the future is long, I hope that one day you can see this day with me"
Li Qingfeng revealed his intention to recruit the other party for the first time, and in the past few months of contact, Wei Yuanxing's character and ability are not bad.
He lacks helpers and talents, and there are so many classic movies in his previous life, even if he shoots them until he is sixty years old, he may not be able to shoot them all.
And it may not be that there is no idea of creating your own in the later stage.
Therefore, forming a company and recruiting people is an absolute thing to do.
