Li Zhifan took out his mobile phone at the moment, and he didn't believe it.

I remember that when I was looking for information about "The Lord of the Rings" before, I seemed to have read the news about film and television.

Is it not implemented?

If so, then this work also has a lot of room for manipulation!

With today's 3D technology, what kind of magic works can't be shot?

Take "Avatar" as an example, shouldn't you make a movie with such difficult special effects?

Can "The Lord of the Rings" be more difficult to shoot than "Avatar"?

After searching for information on the Internet for a long time, Li Zhifan finally understood the ins and outs.

It turned out that the film and television rights of "The Lord of the Rings" had long been held by a British film and television company, and a TV series of the same name was also produced, but after the first season was broadcast, because of the spicy special effects and poor costumes, it was impossible to continue the production of the second season, so it ended.

Whether the British are making movies or TV series, they have a characteristic, the male protagonist and the male supporting actor always have some basic stories, and these stories will even become the main plot if they continue to the later stage.

So the style of the British drama version of "The Lord of the Rings" has become strange.

Many film and television giants are interested in buying the film production rights of "The Lord of the Rings", but for unknown reasons, they didn't reach it in the end, so the matter has dragged on until today, and it has not been followed.

If so, wouldn't Oriental Entertainment be able to buy the copyright of "The Lord of the Rings" directly and make it into a movie?

And there is also "The Hobbit", which can be filmed together.

Li Zhifan also knows very well that the reason why "The Lord of the Rings" can't be filmed is not because of technical problems, but because of copyright issues, and I don't know what the British company is.

As for whether Oriental Entertainment can be discussed, it depends on luck and destiny.

"Mr. Cheng, I have an idea, I bought the film copyright of "The Lord of the Rings", let's shoot it!"

Li Zhifan said this idea at the moment, not to ask, but to ask.

"Let's shoot?" Cheng Wenbin was stunned, "Can it work?"

"Why can't it?" Li Zhifan said with a smile, "Don't worry, with the current technology, it is no problem to restore the original work truthfully, I will personally operate the script, as well as the service of Huadao." ”

"That's an epic masterpiece!"

Cheng Wenbin took a breath, but quickly reacted, since Li Zhifan wants to shoot, he must be confident, no matter whether the final result is profitable or not, the company should support it.

"Okay, so what do you decide to do?"

"Let's go buy the copyright first!"

Li Zhifan said, "Find professional people and talk to them, it should be no problem!"

"No problem!"

Cheng Wenbin said with a smile, "As long as you find out who owns the copyright, it's not a problem." ”

"The copyright is in the hands of a film and television company in the UK, and many big entertainment companies have contacted them, but for some reason, they have not been sold. Li Zhifan shook his phone, "According to the information on the Internet, it is not because of money, as for what the reason is, there is no way to know." ”

"It doesn't matter, as long as there is a goal, we can accomplish it!"

Cheng Wenbin smiled, "It's a big deal to buy them!"

"Haha, it's simple and straightforward!"

Li Zhifan gave a thumbs up, "It's okay!"

The conversation between the two has come to an end at this point, but this conversation is equivalent to drawing up Li Zhifan's plans and goals for the future.

……

Next.

The heroine of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" was finally selected, her name is Alyssa Ann, her father is Chinese, her surname is An, and her mother is Canadian.

She also has a Chinese name, which is called An An.

After being selected, Li Zhifan unified the caliber with the whole crew, and they all called her An An.

The name also facilitated her later activities in China.

"An An! There will be a press conference tomorrow, do you remember your words?"

After the makeup photos were taken in the morning, Li Zhifan took the opportunity to ask her.

"Remember a little bit!"

An An said in a milky voice.

"No, no, no, when filming, you can't talk like this, although you are only 11 years old, but the tone of your actions must have the feeling of a little adult, especially after you bump into the death of your family in the scene, understand?"

"Got it!"

An An became cold in a second, and deliberately suppressed his voice, "Director Li, are you usually so strict?"

"Of course!"

Li Zhifan spread his hands, "So you have to adapt! If I scold you and cry, you have to adjust it yourself, but I will arrange for a psychological counselor to be next to you, so you don't have to worry too much." ”

"Hmm!" An An nodded, and then asked, "Then can I speak normally now?"

"Of course!" Li Zhifan was stunned, "Of course you can!"

"Okay!" An An immediately returned to the appearance of a little girl.

This made Li Zhifan smile bitterly, could it really be that he was too strict?

After lunch, the afternoon work is to prepare for the next day's press conference, and every participant has to prepare a manuscript and go through the whole process.

Li Zhifan is no exception, but with his memory, he doesn't need to memorize it at all, so the job becomes supervising the preparation of the draft.

An An's workload is not large, only three paragraphs, the difficulty is not the content of the manuscript, but her mentality, and how to say the content of the manuscript in a way that is not nervous and describes it in oral language.

At this time, the entertainment media around the world received invitations to the press conference, and the matter also caused a heated discussion in the circle.

"Killer? Is this a Guild Wars movie?"

"It should be Li Zhifan who is going to return to an action movie!"

"Killer Li Ang?The title of the film is simple and direct, I hope to shoot the level of "Wolf Warrior"!"

"Now the American people's favorite Asian actor is Li Zhifan, I really hope he can take advantage of his popularity to make a few more blockbuster movies. ”

"Yes, if it's not popular, there's no chance. ”

“……”

On the other side, domestic.

The filming news of "This Killer is Not Too Cold" has long been exposed, and on some review websites, the pages of this movie have also been given early, but except for the director and starring Li Zhifan, the rest are blank, and they cannot be scored and can only be commented.

Now that it has finally been completely exposed, the discussion among netizens exploded instantly.

"Could it be a sequel to Wolf Warrior?"

"This time it's a Hollywood movie in the United States!"

"I'm looking forward to it, I don't know what it will look like!"

"Look at the name is a blockbuster sense of déjà vu!"

"Why is the Chinese name "This Killer Not Too Cold", and the English name is simply "Killer Li Ang"?"

"I don't know, but isn't this Chinese name cool?"

"Well, everybody feels different. ”

“……”

What makes netizens curious is more about the plot.

The last time Li Zhifan made an action movie, it was "Wolf Warrior", and the core of "Wolf Warrior" is actually more patriotism, the plot is relatively simple, mainly fighting, and the literary drama is just an ordinary level.

And what will happen to the drama of this new movie, whether it can surpass the level of "Wolf Warrior", is what fans are concerned about, after all, with Li Zhifan's fists and feet, there must be no need to worry about action scenes.

"No spoilers?"

"Filming hasn't officially started yet, and I'm afraid only the actors and directors know the script. ”

"Oh, but let's look forward to it!"

"I hope the plot can be full, just like "The Three-Body Problem". ”

"The Three-Body Problem"? The plot is too brain-burning, especially the second part, the design is very good. ”

"In terms of this plot design, if Li Zhifan can maintain it, then the watchability of this movie will be very high. ”

“……”

Netizens gave super high expectations, which will definitely be doubly tormented if it is given to ordinary directors.

But Li Zhifan is different, and he doesn't even need to care about these remarks of netizens, because the drama and plot of this movie will definitely satisfy them.

Next.

The press conference of "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" was held at the Chinese Theater in Hollywood and broadcast live worldwide.

In the United States, it is 8 a.m., while in China, it is 8 p.m.

Li Zhifan also took two sleeping pills last night in order to get a good night's sleep.

This was the first time he had eaten this thing, otherwise he would definitely not have been able to sleep with his attribute of liking to stay up late.

Venue.

Li Zhifan arrived early and was busy.

"Are all of us connected?"

"Pick it up!

"Let's go and see it!

"Director Li, please!"

Located in the heart of Hollywood's Walk of Fame, the Chinese Theatre was founded in 1927 right next to the Dolby Theatre, which has also hosted several Academy awards.

At the same time, leaving handprints on the cement slate in the square of the Chinese Theatre is also an activity of special significance.

However, leaving a handprint at the Hollywood Chinese Theater and a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame are two completely different qualities.

The Hollywood Walk of Fame has an official background and is strongly supported by the government, so it makes more sense to leave a handprint on the Walk of Fame.

The handprint of the Chinese Theater in Hollywood is the company's own activity, because the Chinese Theater is privately owned, and this activity still maintains its professionalism and uniqueness until the sixties, with a professional committee to evaluate it, and there is almost no dispute about the stars who leave the handprints.

But with the development of the times, more modern and young stars have poured in, and even sports stars, non-human animation stars, have left their handprints here.

It's just that it won't appear on the ground of the square, and the owner of the Hollywood Chinese Theater has personally admitted that there are a lot of star handprint activities for the film promotion office, and these star handprints will not all appear in front of the most eye-catching theater square, but will be shelved by the theater.

Many domestic directors like to continue to promote the name of the movie, come to the Hollywood Chinese Theater to spend money to leave their handprints, and then take this "honor" back to China to tout and show off.

Many Chinese people don't understand, thinking that this is to leave a profit on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, and they are proud of their country's stars, especially these are crowned "the first director to leave a handprint", "the first actress to leave a handprint", "the first actor to leave a handprint", etc., which are even more lofty.

In fact, they don't know that they have been deceived by these hypocritical people, and if such a self-deceptive propaganda draft is seen by Hollywood, they will definitely laugh off their big teeth.

About 10 years later, because of the rapid development and progress of the Internet and the integration of global information, there are fewer stars and directors who use this kind of propaganda to fool the Chinese melon-eating masses, because they know that after the news is transmitted back to China, it will soon be transmitted back to the United States, in order not to let their behavior be ridiculed by their American counterparts, so they will make it clear that they are leaving handprints in Chinese theaters, not on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

This time, Li Zhifan rented the venue for a development conference, and the owner of the Chinese Theater asked Li Zhifan if he wanted to pay some money for six handprints, but Li Zhifan clearly refused.

He said: "If it is a reward that your committee unanimously decides to give me, I will accept it, but if I am asked to pay for a false title myself, I will not accept it." ”

He plans to send out this passage in the form of a domestic press release after the press conference, the purpose is not to publicize himself, nor to crack down on anyone who is exposed, but just to let the people who eat melons generally improve their ability to distinguish.

After all, some people really don't understand, and these blind spots will actually hinder the development of China's cultural undertakings.

It's too big to say, back to the press conference.

This time, only the media was invited, and no other Hollywood stars except for the cast and crew were invited.

And at the meeting, the plot will be described very simply, and it will not involve important or even spoiler news.

The poster at the scene is more peculiar, it is on a street, surrounded by Chinese-style buildings, and in the middle of the road is Li Zhifan and An An walking forward together.

A picture illustrates the background of the story - New York's Chinatown.

It also illustrates the characters - an adult and a child.

As for the relationship between the two, whether it is a father and son, or the little girl who was inadvertently saved by the male protagonist, the reporters still do not know.

"Director Li, everyone is here, isn't it time to let the reporter in. ”

"Well, let's go! Kick off by eight o'clock. Li Zhifan nodded and turned back to the backstage.

When the venue was set up yesterday, most of the reporters brought the main equipment into the scene, and those who could not prepare in advance had to come in with cameras to find a temporary place, so the time was also tight.

When he came to the backstage, Li Zhifan saw that all the actors and main staff were on the scene, and after counting the number of people, he clapped his hands and said: "Everyone, there is still half an hour to start, everyone cheer up, busy with the press conference, I invite everyone to dinner, and then have a good rest in the afternoon, and the filming will officially start tomorrow." ”

"Director Li, I'm so nervous!"

Some supporting actors are really filming for the first time, and nervousness is inevitable.

Li Zhifan said with a smile: "It doesn't matter, there are not many opportunities left for you at this press conference, you have to remember that if you make a mistake because of your nervousness and lose the opportunity to perform in front of the camera, then you are likely to lose the opportunity to be a star actor in Hollywood." ”
