Chapter 215: This Man Is Awesome
As soon as she left the distribution department of Universal Pictures, Li Xiuxiu couldn't help but say: "I really didn't expect them to be so easy to talk and almost completely accept our opinions." ”
Huo Wenxi smiled and said: "That's because our film is doing well, and it immediately shocked them, otherwise how could they be so easy to talk? Do you know, when Golden Harvest came to Hollywood to develop, he was restricted and excluded by these Hollywood film companies everywhere, and he had no right to speak at all, forcing Cheng Long to say that he would never come to Hollywood again!"
It's no secret.
In the early 80s, Zou Wenhuai announced in Hollywood that Golden Harvest would invest $60 million to shoot six big-budget films with international superstars!
Zou Wenhuai never broke his promise, his film started shooting as planned, and the first film he made was "Killer Trench".
In "Killer Trench", Golden Harvest spared no expense to hire Hollywood star Jose Farah Christine Thubel, directed by Hollywood's Rob Golos, and starring Cheng Long and Zhao Jianing in Hong Kong.
can get ready and enter the real shooting, Cheng Long suddenly felt that he had become at a loss after filming in Xiangjiang for many years.
It turns out that the United States and Xiangjiang are not only different in language, culture, and social environment, but also have a very different production system.
When filming in Xiangjiang, the story outline is drawn up first, and the rest is played on the spot. On the basis of the basic content is fixed, and then some details with personal touches. The focus on flexibility and mobility is in line with the fuzzy thinking of the Chinese.
The Americans do not, they pay attention to procedures, do everything according to the established content, once the rules are formulated, they cannot be changed at will, and the money for vinegar must not be used to buy soy sauce, this is the precise thinking that Americans are accustomed to. At the filming site, everything was executed according to the design. The daily on-site dialogues and moves are pre-designed and will never be changed on the spot.
This made Cheng Long feel embarrassed and at a loss.
Cheng Long filmed in Xiangjiang, like a fish in water, he can intervene in big and small things. A suggestion here, a little help there, always idle. He is able to direct and act on his own, thanks to this method of filmmaking in which he can participate.
Cheng Long is a typical example of "acting and directing" under Xiangjiang's filmmaking system.
Particularly adapted to this method of filmmaking, Cheng Long has developed his own unique strengths: novel action design, rich in variety, and good at using local materials.
With this strength, Cheng Long is a steady winner of many actors with excellent movements.
Filming in the United States, Cheng Long was unable to give full play to this strength, the division of labor in film production was fine, people performed their own duties, and the set was done step by step, and no one was needed to give advice.
Therefore, Cheng Long suffers from uselessness.
All this also made Cheng Long aware of his own development and positioning.
Cheng Long no longer blindly worships or has illusions about the United States, on the contrary, he takes Xiangjiang as a foothold in a down-to-earth manner, and keeps saying that he wants to be the "king of Asia" in Asia.
Later, whenever Cheng Long was asked, why didn't he develop in Europe and the United States?
Cheng Long said generously: "With such a big market in Asia, why do you insist on going to Europe and the United States and being discriminated against?"
It can be seen that the development of Chinese in Hollywood is difficult!
Huo Wenxi looked at Li Qing and said in his heart: "This man is awesome, just make a film to make these Hollywood filmmakers convinced and speechless, if Cheng Long and those who have encountered walls everywhere in Hollywood know, they must not be envious to death!"
Li Xiuxiu also thought so, she looked at Li Qing with a hint of admiration in her eyes, and said at the same time: "I think our company's future movies should be made into films, and then promoted around them." ”
Li Qing appreciated Li Xiuxiu's vision, and said: "You can also refine the film, divided into extended version, special edition, ultimate edition, etc., different versions make some slight differences in lens selection, the closer to the release date of the version will reveal more information, so that the audience's curiosity and sense of expectation can be mobilized in a planned and step-by-step manner, and enthusiastic audiences will even watch different versions of the trailer like watching a TV series, and are keen to discuss and analyze each other, and spontaneously build momentum for the promotion of the film...... In the future, the film will continue to develop and evolve from an isolated existence to a complete sequence, from a single medium to three-dimensional communication, and will also provide more diverse ways and possibilities for film marketing. ”
Li Qing added in his heart: "It is true that if you want to form a subculture circle similar to Hollywood, you must first have high-quality movies, in the entire film industry, the film is just a by-product of the movie, and only when the main product film is strong, can it develop better!"
The admiration in the eyes of Li Xiuxiu and Huo Wenxi is getting stronger and stronger, and at the same time, they also realize that under the leadership of Li Qing, who has such outstanding insight, the future of DreamWorks Film Company will be infinite, and they will also have a brilliant life!
Just thinking about it, they are thrilled!
Seeing that Li Qing's tie was crooked, Huo Wenxi stretched out his hand to help Li Qing straighten up, and helped Li Qing tidy up his slightly wrinkled clothes, and said at the same time: "Look at you, don't pay attention to your image, you are about to become the owner of Xiangjiang No. 1 Film Company and the No. 1 director of Xiangjiang!"
Huo Wenxi's intimate gesture to Li Qing made Li Xiuxiu's pupils shrink!
Along the way, Li Xiuxiu was absent-minded, and her mind was full of the scene where Huo Wenxi helped Li Qing sort out her clothes just now!
The more I think about it, the more Li Xiuxiu's heart is blocked!
What made Li Xiuxiu's heart even more blocked was that after arriving at the hotel, Li Qing actually said to her: "Xiuxiu, you go and get busy first, and inform our people to return to Xiangjiang in three days." After finishing speaking, Li Qing left with Huo Wenxi.
Li Xiuxiu took out the phone and dialed a phone number, and said, "Sierra, inform everyone for me, and in three days, we will return to Xiangjiang." ”
After saying that, Li Xiuxiu hung up the phone, and didn't give Sierra on the other side of the phone a chance to speak!
After hesitating, Li Xiuxiu quietly followed Li Qing and the others.
Soon, Shi Xiuping, Ge Xiaobing, and Bian Mei glanced at Li Xiuxiu, who was carefully following them, with the corner of their eyes at the same time, and finally Bian Mei whispered in Li Qing's ear: "Miss Li Xiuxiu is following us." ”
Li Qing said indifferently: "Don't worry about her." ”
At the same time, Li Qingxin said: "This flower should be picked, and my great revenge should be avenged......
