United Kingdom.

Harry Potter is on.

This time, "The Chamber of Secrets" and "The Prisoner of Azkaban" started filming at the same time, but of course "The Chamber of Secrets" was filmed first.

Li Zhifan flew to the United Kingdom to attend the opening ceremony, stayed for two days, and also participated in the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards.

He did not receive the award, but attended as a guest of honor.

Although the first part of "Harry Potter" also won awards, including Best Art Direction, Best Special Effects, and Best Makeup/Hairstyle, they all have nothing to do with Li Zhifan, and a special person from the crew accepted the award.

After awarding the award, Li Zhifan returned to China non-stop.

The women's group is basically stable, and Li Zhifan has handed over all the works, and a professional team is responsible for the practice and recording.

……

Oriental Entertainment.

Li Zhifan's team office area.

"Let's put down the work in our hands and come to the conference room for a meeting!"

Liu Zexin shouted, all the employees stopped, then cleaned up the desktop, and began to walk to the office one after another.

an hour ago.

Li Zhifan just entered the company early in the morning and came to Liu Zexin's office.

"I'm going to make a new movie!"

He said directly, looking a little excited.

On the plane back from the UK, Li Zhifan grabbed a big red envelope in the celebrity group.

And this red envelope comes from Xu Zheng, another world-famous director, actor, and investor.

That's right, Li Zhifan grabbed a movie he starred in a few years ago - "I Am Not the God of Medicine"!

In this movie, Li Zhifan once saw the name in the red envelope shop, but the name did not appeal to him, and the price was too expensive, so he didn't even try it.

And after drawing it for free this time, Li Zhifan chose to use it to pass the time in this boring flight time.

didn't expect this movie to be so good.

Of course, what Li Zhifan values more is the meaning of this movie, this is not the kind of movie that deliberately pretends to be profound.

It's not even a comedy, but it makes people cry in laughter.

"Shoot what?"

Liu Zexin asked casually, "The Lord of the Rings 2?" Do you want to contact the Hollywood team and the people from William Entertainment?"

"No!"

Li Zhifan shook his head, "It's a new movie, a Chinese-language movie! Gather everyone first, and I'll announce it at the meeting!"

"You...... Have you written the script?"

Liu Zexin couldn't help but ask when he heard that it was a Chinese-language movie.

"Not yet, but I'll be able to write it soon!"

Li Zhifan smiled, "When will I drag my hind legs?"

……

in the conference room.

Li Zhifan was the first to come in, and then waited for everyone in the team to come in.

When everyone was seated, Li Zhifan said: "To make a long story short, we have a new movie to start filming, and I am still writing the script here, but I can give you a character list, so our actors' auditions and invitations will be organized in the next few days." ”

Other people's scripts are polished for a long time, even five or ten years, before they come out.

But Li Zhifan's script actually has to be written now?

It's not that there is no such crew in the film industry, but the movies that were made in the end were all pounced.

However, Li Zhifan also has a kind of filming, so many movies have been filmed, all of them are in this mode, and I haven't seen him fail.

Since there are many precedents for success, even if this time is unpredictable, it is not impossible to give it a try.

Besides, everyone is just an employee, and they have doubts but no reason to refute them, so they can only follow Li Zhifan's steps, lose together, and win together.

"I'll give you the script in three days!"

Li Zhifan said to the screenwriting team, "You can casually transfer screenwriters from the company to come in, and I will say hello to Mr. Tang!"

"Okay!"

The person in charge of the screenwriting team nodded and said, in fact, there are only two of them, that is, screenwriters who have been following Li Zhifan, but most of the time, they are screenwriters for other film and television dramas.

As for Li Zhifan's script, they are only responsible for assigning lines to the actors, communicating with the drama to find the scene according to the written script.

In a meeting, Li Zhifan arranged a lot of work.

Including going to the radio and television to register, looking for a team, looking for actors and other detailed arrangements.

A few days later.

The script is out.

Li Zhifan was delayed by one day than the original plan, and this was just a text script, and he did not make the storyboard script, actor script, etc., but these will be handed over to the screenwriter team to do, because the general story, lines, and scene descriptions are already available.

Just from the title of the script, Ruan Ruochu felt that this movie was very eye-catching. So she immediately opened the script and studied it.

Shanghai, Qingpu.

A neighborhood that has been built for several years.

The rooms here are not as high as in the city center, but they are also expensive.

Wang Qingshan is an actor, but he belongs to the kind of actor who has a hard time, despite this, with his savings for many years, he still bought a second-hand house of 85 square meters here.

That morning, he received an email from Oriental Entertainment, which contained an actor's script and story outline.

I thought it was a low-budget or self-made sitcom or something, because this is the kind of drama he has always acted, but he didn't expect it to be Li Zhifan's movie.

Seeing these three words, Wang Qingshan became excited, and his hands couldn't help but tremble.

And shouted: "Wife, wife! Come and see, Li Zhifan has sent me an email, it's a script!"

"What?"

His wife came over with a mutter, "Are you talking nonsense? Li Zhifan gave it to you?"

But when she saw the email that was sure to be Li Zhifan, she also covered her mouth excitedly.

After a while, she pushed Wang Qingshan: "Husband, husband, quickly agree!"

"Uh-huh! I want to think of the wording!"

Wang Qingshan grabbed his hair, nervous as if he was going to have an interview with Li Zhifan now.

The role that Li Zhifan asked Wang Qingshan to play is Zhang Changlin, a counterfeit drug dealer.

Wang Qingshan is middle-aged, his image is in line with it, and his acting skills are also online, which belongs to the level of old drama bones.

Li Zhifan once watched Wang Qingshan in a criminal investigation TV series, being a robber and being interrogated after being arrested.

That part was quite well acted, very vivid, I really thought he was squatting all year round.

Wang Qingshan opened the plot of the story first, planning to take a few quick looks.

But unexpectedly, this look immediately fascinated.

"I Am Not the God of Medicine" is very fascinating in terms of plot, one ring after another, until the end.

Although there is no dialogue in this storyline, only simple character relationships and plot design, it is enough to see that this is a very rare and thought-provoking excellent feature film!

Wang Qingshan's wife was also watching from the side.

couldn't help urging: "Qingshan, you can grasp this drama well!

His wife's name is Jiang Chun, she is also an actor, and she has been in the industry for a longer time than Wang Qingshan.

The reason why Li Zhifan wants to make this movie is also because he believes that it will definitely become a word-of-mouth masterpiece, and as for how high the box office can be, it is not the first time he considers.

In another world, "I Am Not the God of Medicine" is the only domestic movie in China with a Douban score of 9.0, and almost none of the audiences who have seen it, especially the girls, are not moved, because it is adapted from a true story, which has a very sense of substitution and reality.

There is a scene where the old aunt complains that the price of medicine is too high, and Li Zhifan also cried when he watched it on the plane.

Of course, this is also the only time he cries in the whole play, that is, a hard-hearted person like him can shed tears, which is enough to show that the plot handling here is very clever, and it explodes in silence, which tests the strength of the screenwriter and director.

……

Oriental Entertainment.

Li Zhifan quickly received Wang Qingshan's reply, saying that he was willing to perform, even with zero pay.

He knew that Wang Qingshan was afraid of losing this opportunity, so he asked for zero pay, but Li Zhifan was not the one who picked the door, and besides, he had already recognized Wang Qingshan, so he would naturally not give him cheap treatment.

After replying to Wang Qingshan's specific interview time, Li Zhifan called the assistant in: "Xiao Wu, give Wang Yue a call, and say that I want to ask him to make a movie." ”

"Okay, Mr. Li, I'll go and contact Mr. Wang Yue's studio. ”

Xiao Wu nodded and walked out of the office.

Her place of work is outside the door of Li Zhifan's office, and she immediately searched the address book and found the contact number of Wang Yue's studio.

"Hey, hello, is it Mr. Wang Yue's studio? I am Oriental Entertainment, I am Li Zhifan's assistant to Mr. Li, Mr. Li has written a movie script, and I want to cooperate with Mr. Wang. ”

There is also an assistant in Wang Yue's studio, and when he heard that it was Li Zhifan's call, he was not only very suspicious.

The relationship between Li Zhifan and Wang Yue is not ordinary?

Both of them are members of the Extreme Men Gang, why do they have to make such a phone call and make such trouble?

However, the assistant's attitude was very serious, and he said to Xiao Wu: "Okay! I will contact Brother Yue immediately, and I will contact you immediately if there is news later." ”

……

In addition to Wang Yue's side, Fu Biao's side also received an invitation.

Without exception, it was a very polite phone call from assistant Xiao Wu, not Li Zhifan's personal phone.

In addition to these two people, Hu Lei's side also received an invitation from Li Zhifan.

Hu Lei has now set up his own film and television company, named Guyue Film and Television, but he mainly shoots some TV series, and Hu Lei himself has not participated in film shooting for a long time.

Guyue Film and Television.

Hu Lei's female assistant received the invitation call, and immediately ran to the set in a hurry, found Hu Lei, who was really making up, and said: "Mr. Hu, just now I received an invitation from Mr. Li Zhifan and Mr. Li, and he asked you to make a movie......

……

Capital.

Zhao Yi, a well-known domestic director, was at home with his wife and children at this time.

His last film was released the year before last, and in the domestic box office market, it won 930 million box office.

For this achievement, although it has returned to its original cost, it is still far from enough, and it is far from those movies that have a box office of billions at every turn.

In the past two years, Zhao Yi has not had a new film come out, and he has not even had the intention of starting filming, and he has not even had too much contact with investors, because he can't find a good script to shoot, and he is afraid of hitting the street again.

The reason why Li Zhifan wants to make this movie is also because he believes that it will definitely become a word-of-mouth masterpiece, and as for how high the box office can be, it is not the first time he considers.
