Chapter 144: A Kind and Kind Old Man
How could Wen Qingyuan and Qin Xiao have a psychological burden? They were obviously here to relax. They don't have any obsession with winning the award. And for them who have been reborn, these are really light.
Seeing that the mentality of the two is really good, the big guy is no longer worried. The next day's press conference, naturally, everyone attended in excellent condition.
The drama "Medicine" is considered a dark horse at the box office in the summer, and Wen Qingyuan and Qin Xiao have been popular all day long in China, so it is different from the dramas of other masters that foreign media pay more attention to. The domestic media is more focused on their coverage. After all, their audience is still those fans in China. Of course, this doesn't mean that they don't pay attention to other movies, it's just that when they ask questions, they must be restrained in the master, and they can't dig out the fierce information.
But can you dig it up on Wen Qingyuan and Qin Xiao? It is inevitable that it will not be. But they leave material for the media, which is why people are more willing to interview them.
The press conference was not long. It's only about forty minutes. All the main creators sat on the stage, and off the stage were all kinds of problems from the domestic and foreign media. And most of the answers were done by Xiang Xi. As the producer of this play, he is also in the limelight this time.
"I heard that your two leading actors have a very good relationship in private, are they a couple?" A female reporter from a foreign media asked this question with a very sincere gaze and tone.
If those reporters in China come to ask, they will definitely be regarded as deliberately finding fault. However, the curiosity and seriousness of this female reporter made it impossible for the big guy to directly equate it with the word "finding fault".
Xiang Xi didn't know how to answer this question. So he looked at Qin Xiao. Qin Gongzi laughed at the time, and he asked the female reporter: "Do you think we look like?" β
The female reporter nodded very seriously: "I've seen a lot of your videos, it's a good match, it's very good!" β
"Poof!" This Wen Qingyuan also laughed. What kind of videos have you watched! "We have a saying in China that when the fake is true, the truth is also false, and this question does not need to be answered. It's good if everybody is happy. β
Qin Xiao also smiled: "Thank you for thinking we are very good." Very discerning. β
How did such shameless lines come out? Xiang Xi felt that he was about to suffocate. However, this kind of ridicule of Cheng DΓΉ is nothing in the history of ambiguous dialogue. However, the reporters of those domestic media are very grateful to this female reporter of foreign media. She asked a question they didn't dare to ask, but it was very exciting. Sure enough, Wen Qingyuan and Qin Xiao didn't disappoint them, and they could go back and write the big title well! It's a good match or something, real or fake or something, it can't be better!
After the press conference, they did not leave directly, but went to attend the β‘β‘ press conference.
Li Qiangguo is one of the highest-ranking Sanwei directors in Huaguo. He is best at shooting classical subjects. Therefore, most of his works show the ancient charm of China, and the films he shoots have always taken the route of exquisite, gorgeous and elegant. In the early years, his films were not blockbusters, but later the state supported the prosperity of traditional culture, and he was the first batch of film directors to be praised and supported. Since then, Li Qiangguo has begun to promote Chinese culture and the beauty of ancient countries on the world stage. It can be said that in the eyes of many Westerners, the pictures in Li Qiangguo's movies are their impressions of China. Mysterious, beautiful, cornices and walls, and more.
The reason why he is called a master is purely because of his qualifications and international popularity. This timeβ‘β‘ brings works that are still the historical themes he is good at. And he chose the battle of the deer with a fantasy theme. This movie was also broadcast in the summer, but the box office was not as good as the master imagined. It's basically the same as "Medicine". This is also a big surprise. With the investment in this play, the profit is not big. The box office is not high, and most of the problems are in the styling. Although the post-production effect of this film was made by a top team invited from abroad, the shape was too close to the historical background of the time. A look that has just broken away from the original human skin skirt has been complained about on the Internet for a while. However, it is generally believed in the industry that this movie was shot very well. But many times people watch movies to satisfy their own preferences and pastimes, and most of the things you imply in the movies to educate and what are meaningless.
Qin Xiao and Wen Qingyuan came over, mainly to find β‘β‘, they both liked the movie "Chasing Deer" very much, and wanted to ask β‘β‘ if they were interested in co-producing the TV series "Chasing Deer". It is difficult for the audience to instantly comprehend the content that is quickly explained in the movie, but those contradictions between the human race and the alien race, the gods and the human race, it will be much easier to express it in the TV series. It is not easy for them to ask this elder on weekdays, but this is a good opportunity to block the door.
Watch the promotional video of "Chasing the Deer". Wen Qingyuan sighed: "It's really a good film." The quality is much higher than ours. I'm starting to wonder where the audience's point is now. β
Xiang Xi nodded and agreed: "It's not." I thought that "Chasing the Deer" would be the box office champion, but I didn't expect it to be a big surprise. That's not a good thing. If you don't understand the psychology of the audience, you can't rely on luck. β
At this time, β‘β‘'s assistant, who was also his grandson Li Qin, came over. "I'm sorry, there were too many things just now, and I made you wait for a long time." β‘β‘ are sixty-eight this year. His grandson is just twenty this year, and he hasn't graduated from the directing department yet, so this time he is just here to exercise.
As the boss, Qin Xiao naturally had to speak first. "We also have something to ask for, and we should wait a little longer. Besides, we've just arrived. β
It can be said that no one in the domestic entertainment industry does not know what Qin Xiao's identity is. β‘β‘ no matter how status, he also needs to find someone to invest in filming. Qin Xiao is a good investor, and the Li family will naturally not be offended. And this time they came, Old Man Li probably guessed the purpose. He was tempted, otherwise he wouldn't have let his grandson come over to receive him. Li Qin grew up with his grandfather since he was a child, and spent more than half of his time in the crew watching his grandfather filming during holidays, and he knew too well who to say when he saw him. "Grandpa guessed that there must be something wrong with a few people coming, so let me lead you to the nearby Huaguo Hotel first, and then go over after his press conference."
Wen Qingyuan and Qin Xiao glanced at each other and knew that there was a door to this matter. So he followed Li Qin to the Huaguo Hotel, and left Liu Hai and Xiang Xi behind, and the others were sent away by them.
After entering the private room, after the waiter served tea and snacks, Li Qin asked with a smile: "A few people looking for my grandfather have something to do with "Chasing Deer", right?" β
The other party is straight to the point, Qin Xiao and they naturally won't pretend to be stupid. And when Li Qin asked, he basically said that Old Man Li was also interested. Then the next thing to talk about is definitely the question of conditions. "Definitely. We like the movie "Chasing the Deer" very much, and we also know that the script of this movie is from the hand of Li Lao. We are very sincere in wanting to cooperate with Li Lao to shoot the TV series version of "Chasing the Deer", so we took the liberty to come over this time. β
Li Qin smiled: "Actually, after the release of "Chasing the Deer", many companies have come to talk about this matter. My grandfather spent five years writing the script, and he thought it would sell out, but it turned out to be a bit disappointing to him. β
Qin Xiao sighed: "But it is undeniable that this is an extremely high-quality work. Sometimes the box office doesn't represent a qiΔ. β
Li Qin nodded with a smile: "It's the two of you who have a very good box office response to "Medicine". Congratulations. β
For ordinary people, this conversation may have some other meanings, but when they say it, whether it is their tone or expression, they can see each other's sincerity. Of course, misunderstandings will not arise. Qin Xiao sighed: "I'm ashamed." We are all borrowing the light of the previous TV series. You know, fan culture has a big impact on the box office right now. That's not a good thing either. Excessive consumption of fan enthusiasm and failure to shoot good works will make fans gradually cool down. At the same time, relying only on fans to ensure the box office will produce a large number of low-quality movies that will make the film industry questionable over time. In the end, it's the loss of filmmakers. β
Li Qin didn't expect Qin Xiao to say this to himself so seriously, thinking of the future special effects company under Qin Xiao's name, he couldn't deny the sincerity of Qin Xiao's words. "It's still Boss Qin who can see through. Many people film just to make money. How to make a quick profit. So when the box office came out, my grandfather was really depressed for days. In fact, many people came to talk to him about the TV version of "Chasing the Deer" before, but he didn't want to pay attention to it. Boss Qin is an exception. β
Qin Xiao smiled: "Just call me Qin Xiao." Don't call yourself a boss. I'm just a mascot in the company. If I can get a different look from Mr. Li, I can be regarded as worthwhile! But we do have a lot of sincerity. The conditions are that Li Lao can come out casually, and even in terms of actors, we will not interfere, after all, this is Li Lao's hard work, and he cherishes this film more than we will. Don't worry about investing either. That's our commitment. β
said it so openly, this matter is still discussed with Old Man Li, Qin Xiao said that the conditions are casually opened, and I am afraid that this matter can really be done. So it's not good for Li Qin to express his opinion next. I can only tell Qin Xiao, these specifics, his grandfather will come over in a while. But he also said that he was personally very interested.
The five of them waited for about an hour before β‘β‘ came with the real assistant. Qin Xiao and Wen Qingyuan and the four of them hurriedly got up to greet each other.
Li Qiangguo doesn't look like he's almost seventy, his body is really good. The old man pays great attention to health on weekdays, so he looks very energetic. Seeing Qin Xiao and the other juniors, they didn't serve a shelf, but asked a few people to sit down with a smile, and then told the assistant that he must order a sweet and sour pork ribs, and don't serve him those vegetable leaves.
Wen Qingyuan smiled: "Old Li, you want to eat sweet and sour pork ribs, I have a few ways to have less sugar here." Absolutely satisfying without compromising your health. β
Li Qiangguo's face was full of smiles: "This is good!" I've read the Weibo of both of you, and there are always sweet and sour pork ribs, so I must try your craft if I have the chance. You don't know, if I don't come out at home, seven or eight people will stare at me and I won't be allowed to eat. This man is old, but he can't even eat well. β
With sweet and sour pork ribs, this wonderful medium. The rest of the chat is much more homely. Even when it comes to the filming of the TV series "Chasing the Deer", Li Lao seems very casual. But this casualness does not mean casual, and the old man's requirements are not a lot at all. From the director to the actor to the filming location, including the post-production requirements, he has to make the decision himself, and Qin Xiao's company can only be the producer and investor.
Qin Xiao had already promised this request from the beginning. So immediately said no problem. Elder Li was very satisfied with Qin Xiao's cheerfulness. Tell him about this and wait until he returns to China to find someone to talk about the contract in detail, and now their task is to eat the meal. Especially sweet and sour pork ribs, you can't grab anything. This is his rare opportunity. It made the big guys laugh.
It seems that the legendary master who is very stubborn is just a kind and kind old man!
