The film market in April 2010 in China was much more lively than in previous years, and there were almost no popular films in April before, and it seems that all filmmakers think that April is the off-season, and movies can't be placed in April if they want to make money. April '10 was also average at the box office, but compared to previous years, there were at least a few movies worth watching.

The movies released in early April are all ordinary movies, whether it is "Fire and Dragon Showdown" starring Ren Xianqi, or "Playing a Match" by any Dahua, or "Four Cupids" by Su Yiyoupeng, all of them are movies with no new ideas, and the quality is very average, and these movies are all on the street without exception.

In mid-April, "Du Yilala's Promotion" was released, with a good reputation and a box office hit, many people thought that this was a workplace movie that reflected urban women, but Li Xiuping seemed to be a chick movie. Foreign chick movies can be traced back to the sixties of the last century, Hepburn's "Breakfast at Tiffany's" is the originator of this type of movie, and there are also chick movies in China after the eighties of the last century, but the real influence has to start from 09 years of "Very Perfect", since then chick movies have begun to rise in the Chinese film market and become a very best-selling theme, according to Li Xiuping, 10 years later, chick movies also have "33 Days of Lost Love" and "Get Out, Tumor" All of them have received quite good box office, and the success of these films shows that the spending power of domestic female audiences is getting higher and higher, and they can support a new genre of films.

The day after the release of "Du Yilala's Promotion", "The Thief of the Year and January" was released, this HK literary film has an excellent reputation, and the box office of KH is as high as 25 million, but unfortunately the region is strong, and the mainland audience still seems to have a sense of disobedience, so the mainland box office is only more than 10 million.

"The Thief in January" was released a week later, the spy war blockbuster "East Wind and Rain" was released, this is Liu Yiyunlong's ambitious work, the Douban score is only 5.4 points, it is reasonable to say that this score is definitely low, as a film debut, Liu Yiyunlong is still very thoughtful, in addition to being handsome and not grasping the rhythm of the plot well, other places are basically qualified, especially the camera is very feeling. In terms of directing ability, Li Xiuping feels that Liu Yiyunlong is at least much better than Deng Yichao, Wang Yibaoqiang, Zhao Yiwei, and other actors who act and direct, but unfortunately after the movie is released, it is almost a one-sided negative review, and it is obvious that Lao Liu should have offended some people who should not be offended.

The film market was relatively calm after "East One Wind and Rain", and it was not until the release of "Ye Yiwen 2" that the audience's enthusiasm for watching movies was raised, Zhen Yizidan became popular in the mainland with "Ye Yiwen 1", and "Ye Yiwen 2" really established his superstar status in the mainland, and since then, Donnie Yen has seven consecutive movies exceeding 100 million, until the bad film "Together with One" was terminated.

In other words, except for the two Mr. Leung, the HK actors are more cautious in their film selection, and other actors often take on some movies that you know at a glance that bad movies will lose their reputation, why should they take it, the general excuse is to return favors, is there no relationship between Chao Wei and Jiahui? In the final analysis, it's just a quick buck.

Li Xiuping very much despises the statement that HK actors are still favored, if he becomes a big director, he will definitely not choose these stars who do not respect his own acting career to play his movies, of course, this is still a very distant thing, a simple online short drama has benefited Li Xiuping a lot, you can imagine his current level, Li Xiuping has completely understood at this time, he now not to talk about making movies, even making TV series is difficult, he has a lot of things to learn, and he still needs more shooting experience.

"Someone has to invest, otherwise where will I go to raise money to shoot? But there is no news from Youyiku, how should "I Never Expect" be promoted?"

The production of the late first season of "In Case I Didn't Expect" has been completed, and the online drama "In Case I Didn't Expect" has really been completed, and the beast and Zimo began to study and modify the plot lines of the second season of Wanwan, and the two of them are very much looking forward to the second season of Wanwan, and they are planning to shoot the second season at this time.

However, the first season of Wanwan has not been sold yet, Li Xiuping once lied that the director of operations of Youyiku had taken a fancy to Wanwan, and promised him that he would push Wanwan this summer, in fact, he didn't know any of Youyiku's senior managers at all, how much he hoped to contact Youyiku's senior management at this time, just an email to let the senior management of Huaxia No. 1 Video Website pay attention to him, it is undoubtedly a fool's dream.

"Let's be honest with the beast and Zimo, and then go to BJ to sell Wanwan. ”

Li Xiuping understands that he can't delay, he has to confess to the beast and Zimo that he must sell the first season of Wanwan before the second season of Wanwan can be filmed, if the first season of Wanwan can't be sold, the beast and Zimo are wasting time to tell the truth to the two of them, as the so-called long pain is better than short pain, Li Xiuping feels that he has the responsibility to tell the truth about the beast and Zimo. However, just as Li Xiuping was about to confess to the beast Mo, he heard a message prompt, and he opened the mailbox to see that it was Youyiku's reply, "Dear Mr. Li Xiuping, we have seen your email, for your project...... Please come to BJ and consult with us. ”

Youyiku's senior management not only saw Li Xiuping's email, but also was very interested in his online drama project of "Heart One Guilt", Li Xiuping looked at the email, his heart was excited, he did not go to the beast Zimo to confess, but proudly shouted: "Call the beast, Zimo, you change the script at home, I will go to BJ to discuss the sale of Wanwan." ”

Two days later, in the café opposite the BJ Sinosteel International Building, Li Xiuping was wearing a white shirt, a black suit and black leather shoes, holding a laptop, he was looking forward to the meeting, but he soon found out that the object of the meeting was not Youyiku's senior management. Li Xiuping looked at the young man with a blue shirt and gray denim pants and domestic basketball shoes on the opposite side, who was not attractive and had heavy dark circles, and suddenly understood in his heart that Youyiku was just sending a pawn to send him away, in the end, Youyiku didn't pay attention to "Xinyi's Guilt" at all, but even if there was only a little opportunity, Li Xiuping couldn't waste it.

"Hello, I would like to introduce to you the summary and theme of this web drama, as well as the shooting and promotion plan I have done, as well as the advantages and highlights of the show. ”

"Okay, you say. The young man with dark circles snorted and nodded.

"This web drama is said to be detective reasoning, but in fact, it is more accurate to say that it is a crime web drama, which tells the story of a genius psychology student who reasoned and solved the case, and this student is a ......"

Ten minutes later, Li Xiuping drank a few sips of water, he finished speaking, his mouth was dry and upset, but the young man with dark circles did not react, he waited for Li Xiuping to finish speaking, and then said slowly: "I almost read what you said in the email, what about this online drama project, it's okay, it's a little interesting, but there is also a lot of risk on our side, after all, we haven't tried it before, and there is no precedent to refer to." I'll ask you here, if Youyiku really likes this project, how much do you plan to sell us the film and television copyright adaptation rights. ”

"In terms of copyright, it is okay according to the general market price, and my only requirement is that I be the director, and I will direct the show. ”

The young man with dark circles sneered, he tilted his head and looked at Li Xiuping, "Your email is named as the director of "In Case I Never Expected", I have heard of your drama, is it to invite Sister Feng? I know that a new director like you is very high-spirited, but from the standpoint of Youyiku, let me ask a project of several million yuan and hand it over to a new director, do you say it can be reassuring?" What's more, it's a crime according to a project that hasn't been done before, and we definitely hope to be an instant hit, you may think you have the ability to direct, but it's too risky for Youyiku, isn't it, millions of funds, and a series of follow-up plans, these are all things to consider, so we can't let you be a director, don't be angry, it's the same everywhere, isn't it?"

Li Xiuping knew that what the young man with dark circles said was right, but if he was not a director, what would psychological crimes mean to him? What does Youku's plan have to do with him? So Li Xiuping shook his head, "I understand what Youyiku means, I'm sorry, I can't accept it, let's stop here today, goodbye." ”

"Hey, don't you think about it? Except for our Youyiku, who will invest in online dramas?"

Li Xiuping smiled, he didn't have anything to say, he didn't respond, and walked out directly.

"Li Xiuping, you don't want to think about it, today you leave, then close the door of Youyiku, you are still young, why are you so stubborn, there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future? Why do you have to insist so much? The first time is to test each other, and only after getting along for a long time can we trust each other. The young man with dark circles stood up and shouted.

Li Xiuping stopped and turned to look at the young man with dark circles, "Thank you, but my dream is to be a great director, and it is precisely because my current directing level needs to be improved, so I need more directing experience, for me, if I can't direct, then no matter how popular and popular it is, it is a meaningless work, because I can't learn anything from it." Your words are realistic, but I don't want to bow my head. ”

After the words fell, Li Xiuping left, he went directly to the International Building opposite, and he wanted to officially sell "In Case I Didn't Expect" to Youyiku. Although Youyiku's senior management doubted his directing ability, Li Xiuping was not angry, he knew very well in his heart that such suspicions were normal, after all, he was not a big director with masterpieces, so Li Xiuping could understand, but he still couldn't break the road of Youyiku, and if the project of "Heart and Guilt" could not be negotiated, then talk about "In Case I Didn't Expect", after all, Li Xiuping still has to live, he needs money, and they are also waiting for the second season of Wanwan and Zimo.
