Before Liu Yan went to the magic capital, he had found someone to clean up No. 45 Mengduan Hutong inside and out, and also bought some furniture, household appliances, pots and pans, bedding and so on.

Therefore, No. 45 Mengduan Hutong is a place to live.

Therefore, after returning to Kyoto, Li Qing and Zhao Mingming lived in No. 45 Mengduan Hutong.

In addition, through Liu Tian, who had been preparing for a long time, it only took more than a week for Li Qing, who was wealthy, to buy seven large quadrangle courtyards in Mengduan Hutong at No. 37, No. 38, No. 39, No. 41, No. 42, No. 43, and No. 44.

Guojun Wangfu is in the tenth column of the fourth row of the "Qianlong Capital City Whole Map", the main gate of the mansion is five rooms wide, the main hall is seven rooms wide, the front is out of the Danqi, the east and west side halls are also seven rooms wide, the apse is five rooms wide, the back bed, the back cover is seven rooms wide, and the scale of the east courtyard garden is very large.

The Guojun Royal Mansion is roughly divided into two parts: east and west.

The west is where the main building is located, the hall includes the palace gate with a total of six entrances, and the west of the hall part is a narrow west cross courtyard.

The north side of Dongguan Yuan Road is the east of Prince Guo's Mansion, the north side of the east is three or four groups of small courtyards, and the south side is the verandah that twists and turns.

According to records, there are a total of 1560 rooms in the Guojun Palace.

After the founding of the People's Republic of China, part of the Guojun Royal Mansion became a dormitory of the Ministry of Water Resources, and part of it became a private residence.

No. 37, No. 38, No. 39, No. 41, No. 42, No. 43, No. 44, and No. 45 bought by Li Qing are all the private houses, a total of 28 rooms, some of which are so badly damaged that they no longer have the value of repair, but Li Qing still bought them, and the dormitories of the Ministry of Water Resources also accounted for more than 20 rooms, and the rest of the Guojun Wangfu was demolished and destroyed, and it has disappeared into the dust of history.

These eight quadrangle courtyards are not connected together, and Li Qing has no spare money to clean them up now, so Li Qing just asked Ge Xiaobing's wife to find someone to clean up No. 37, No. 38, No. 39, No. 41, No. 42, No. 43, and No. 44, and let Ge Xiaobing and his family temporarily live in No. 39 courtyard, and the other six courtyards were handed over to Ge Xiaobing's wife and the four little nannies hired by Li Qing to take care of Zhao Mingming, so he let them go.

Li Qing really didn't have time to clean up his house.

First, he had to produce the MVs for the four songs "Dream Chasing Pure Heart", "Love and Hate", "Blue Lotus", and "Ten Thousand Questions".

Second, he is ready to prepare his first film.

The MVs of the four songs "Dream Chasing Pure Heart", "Love and Hate", "Blue Lotus", and "Ten Thousand Questions" are actually not in a hurry to shoot - the main market for these four songs is the mainland, and there are not many people who listen to CDs in the mainland, and there are many people who listen to tapes in the mainland, so the impact of the MV is not so great.

But then again, the sales volume of "Wukong" has already exceeded one million in the mainland, so it is still necessary to produce the MV of these four songs as soon as possible.

These four songs.

The MV of "Ten Thousand Questions" is the easiest to make - Li Qing edited the wonderful front of "BJ People in New York", and the MV of "Ten Thousand Questions" was produced.

Li Qing, the MV of "Dream Chasing Pure Heart", originally planned to cooperate with the American G movie "Dream Chasing Pure Heart". It's a pity that the producers of "Dream Chasing" didn't look down on Li Qing, an unknown Chinese musician, and refused without even thinking about it. Under this premise, Li Qing decided to study "What Happened to the Rabbit That Year", edit the documentary of the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea and the documentary of scientists researching nuclear bombs, and make the MV of "Chasing Dreams and Pure Hearts".

The MV of "Blue Lotus" is more troublesome - Li Qing's idea is that Xu Jinglei will be the protagonist, go to the Potala Palace to shoot, and then go to Mei G to make a little special effects of Blue Lotus, and finally synthesize the MV of "Blue Lotus".

The MV of "Love and Hate" went to the United States G to find Theron to shoot.

In general, Li Qing is ready to first produce the MVs of "Ten Thousand Questions" and "Dream Chasing Pure Heart", take time to take Xu Jinglei to Lhasa to shoot the MV of "Blue Lotus", and then find time to go to the United States again to produce "Blue Lotus" and "Love and Hate".

Actually-

It's just a matter of getting the MV of these four songs, and recently, Li Qing's main focus has been on the preparation for the filming of "Donkey Gets Water".

Li Qing has always had an obsession with making movies!

Now that he has money, Li Qing naturally wants to realize his dream of making movies.

Some people may ask, can't you make movies without money?

It's not that it can't, it's difficult, especially for rookie directors - rookie directors who don't have a good father, a good mother, a good grandfather and a good grandmother to escort them!

At this stage, the domestic film market is that 90 of the 100 films made will lose money, and the ten that do not lose money will barely keep their capital, so that major film studios dare not make films, even those famous directors.

In such an environment, if a new director wants to get the opportunity to direct, he naturally has to raise funds by himself.

Not only now, but even in later generations, it is actually the same, if you are not a well-known rookie director, why should others believe you? Why should you invest money? Therefore, if a rookie director wants to get investment, the possibility is almost zero, and the first film of a rookie director is basically raised by himself -- Jia Zhangke's "Little Mountain Home" is the money that Jia Zhangke and his photography team put together; Ning Hao's "Incense" smashed all the money he earned from filming commercials; and Li Yang mortgaged his family's house in order to shoot "Blind Mountain".

In fact, it is the same not only in China, but also in the whole world, after all, no investor's money is blown by the wind, how can it be easily handed over to a director who has not proven himself?

As for how to make money from movies?

At present, the distribution mechanism in China is that after a film is made, it has passed the review, and after it has passed, then the producer will sell the copy and divide it into something, and don't think about it in China -- at this time, the public-owned theaters, including the theaters of the army, have just begun to carry out various restructurings of collectivization and individual contracting. Cinemas, collective, individual, national, factory, and military. To sum it up in one word, that is, chaos, cinemas or something, there is no such concept in the mainland at present. There is not even a theater, so what are you talking about?

Therefore, it is difficult to return to the capital only by relying on China, and if you want to make money, there is only one way to go - to make a film that is more artistic, more realistic, and reflects more of the dark side of society to compete for international awards.

Because domestic films are relatively low-cost, as long as they win international awards, they can often be sold at a good price, and they can even be divided in some regions.

Many independent directors in China, their films have not been released in China, but their lives are very nourishing, and this is the reason.

This is also a very important reason why Li Qing chose "Donkey Gets Water" as his first female novel.
