Chapter 637: Reluctance
is still the same as other movies he has made in the past, not more than a month, the live-action shooting part of "Avatar" ended smoothly, but it was "Spider-Man 3", Sam Raimi dragged it out, and it was not completed until almost October.
It was his most time-bound film, six months.
In five years, three movies have been made, and they have stayed together for more than a year, and the personnel of the entire crew have not changed much, such fate and affection are naturally indescribable.
It's finished, in addition to the excitement, even Lee Chung-hee is a little embarrassed.
To be honest, in addition to the first one, the other two, he is just working, and there is no more excitement at all, not that the script is not so good, but he is tired of the whole model, and he likes different things.
For example, he is now starting to pay less attention to the fourth and fifth parts of "Pirates of the Caribbean", and then even the sequel to "Top Secret Agent" is only planned, and there is no specific timetable.
However, it is over, and all the accumulated feelings and the past come to my heart together, but it is a different taste, and even reluctant.
Sam Raimi was even more excited than him, shaking hands with the staff on the left and right one by one, his eyes were red, and he said, "Thank you, thank you for your hard work...... I'm sorry that sometimes I can't help but get angry...... You are really great, thank you so much for your ......! Something like that.
In the end, he took Lee Chung-hee's hand and patted it, and after a while, he said: "I don't know what to tell you, anyway, I'm very happy to collaborate with you on three movies, this may be something I will miss in the future, eh." And thank you. Although you have learned a lot from me. But I also learned a lot from you! ”
Lee Chung-hee smiled at him and shrugged, "It's the first time I've found out that someone else has finished what I've said, uh, I believe we still have a chance to work together, and there will definitely be!" ”
"Then I'll wait for your news!" Sam Raimi patted him on the shoulder one last time, "There's something to look forward to now!"
Then he suddenly asked, "I heard." "Avatar" will be released next summer? ”
Lee Chung-hee understood in seconds and spread his hands, "The only thing I can tell you is that you'd better release it a month before our release, or two months after our release, but the summer vacation seems to be only two months, unless you plan to fight the Christmas war!" ”
"Are you so confident in Avatar?" Sam Raimi quipped.
Lee Chung-hee also responded with a smile, "I have confidence in the audience!" ”
Sam Raimi was speechless for a moment, this guy seemed to really understand the audience. Even the hearts of the judges, so his films are all high box office. And the prize is soft.
However, he finally helped Columbia Pictures get the most important news, the release of "Avatar" a month earlier, "Avatar" is June, then they must start in May.
May, that's too early!
After the completion of "Spider-Man 3", Lee Chung-hee's big schedule today is basically over, and all that remains is the filming of "Two Days and One Night" and some commercials.
It's only October, which is really a relatively easy second half of the year for him who is used to being busy.
Of course, that is also because "Avatar" was suddenly adjusted, if it is released at Christmas, it will have to be promoted in November, and then, the production cycle will be shorter, and all kinds of things will be busier, so he naturally has no time to rest.
This is probably his own surprise, and because of this, he followed his father back to his cousin's house in southern Hunan in the first week of October, that is, the holiday of the National Day of the Chinese.
But this is a secret, it's just a family getting together and seeing each other very happily, blood is really indescribable, but extremely important.
stayed for three days, and when it came to the sixth, Li Gongtang returned to the United States first, and Li Zhengxi went to the capital, still acting secretly, and even more secretly to meet a certain bigwig, and the secret was to talk to Huayi, Bona, and Xiao Ke and other musicians about the next cooperation.
People all over the world like to eat, chat and talk about things, and the Chinese are even more so, originally, in order to welcome him, Wang Xiaofat of Huayi and Yu Dafat of Bona were ready to set up a banquet for him.
However, Imperial Entertainment (China) Company has officially entered this side for a year, and Li Zhengxi will do his best to be a landlord, not only as a partner, but also as an official, as well as various big names in the entire circle.
So, the day after meeting the bigwigs, and the last day of the National Day, Lee Chung-hee came to the banquet hall of the China World Hotel to entertain everyone.
The food was great, as well as dim sum and a variety of delicacies flown in from the Imperial Korean Restaurant, as well as some Chinese, Korean and European specialties that he personally cooked.
This news has spread since yesterday when Lee Chung-hee arrived in the capital, so early in the morning, it was very lively outside the China World Hotel, but Lee Chung-hee did not live here.
He entered the hall through the side door at about five o'clock in the evening, and then began to prepare, and at half past six, half an hour before the banquet began, he appeared in the hall, and there was naturally a special welcome at the door, and his identity was very polite to sit here.
To Li Zhengxi's surprise, the first one to come was Huayi's Wang Xiaopang, and there was a beautiful woman next to him, seeing Li Zhengxi standing up, he took two steps, held Li Zhengxi's hand with both hands, and said with a smile, "It's been a long time, like every three autumns!" ”
Li Zhengxi gave him a mess, but he was amused by his witty words, and said with a dumb smile: "You are bullying me for not being good at Chinese!" ”
Wang Xiaochubby laughed, "Where do you dare, you speak Chinese better than me!" Then he introduced him: "This is Hua Dan of our company, Miss Li Bingbin, I have seen one of your interviews, saying that you don't know much about the beautiful actresses on our side, and I will introduce you to ...... today!" ”
Lee Chung-hee likes this guy's temperament, refreshing, and temperamental, but he is not blinded by money in business, which is valuable.
Li Bingbin he didn't know, but he had seen some materials, which were some information about Chinese mainland actors provided by the company here.
Since the other party introduced him, he also greeted politely, "Hello, Lee Chung-hee, uh, to be honest, I don't know if complimenting a lady for being beautiful over here, the first time we met, would cause a misunderstanding, so ......!" ”
Wang Xiaopang and Li Bingbin both laughed, Li Zhengxi is so famous, and his anecdotes have naturally been heard all over the world, including his praise when he first met Song Yun'er and was shocked.
"No, no," Wang Xiaopang said, Li Bingbin also smiled: "I'm so happy to see you, it's like a dream, really, I'm your fan, the kind of die-hard fan, I have your albums, and after watching the movie, I will collect discs ......!" ”
"Thank you!" Lee Chung-hee smiled and nodded, and after greeting for a while, someone came in again, but he didn't know him.
There must be a lot of such people today, and there is also Song He, the boss of the company here, who is here by his side, introducing him one by one.
When the banquet is about to be held at the end, there are more and more people coming, but not everyone he will entertain, the general guests will be entertained by Song He, and only important guests, such as Wang Xiaopang, will come forward.
Seven o'clock soon arrived, and he went to the top for the first time to say a few words on behalf of the company, and then, the dinner began.
The specifications of the dinner party are very high, and there are too many people, so it is natural that acquaintances and acquaintances get together, and then a small circle is formed, and slowly, there will be intersections for various purposes, of course, there will be no intersection at all.
Lee Chung-hee is the one who almost intersects with everyone, as long as he meets him, he has to say hello politely.
Of course, more time, he still spends time with important people and familiar people.
For example, in front of him, he stayed with Jiang Wen and them again.
"If you want to talk about your Korean food, it's really bad!" Jiang Wen was still smashing it in his mouth, but he didn't finish picking thorns, this is this guy's poor habit, "Fortunately, your craftsmanship is a little improved!" ”
"This spicy beef patty looks like you've eaten three in a row!" Ge You joked with a smile on the side: "The three of these things add up, I'm afraid that there is a small half catty, you are not full?" ”
Everyone laughed, Jiang Wen was very thick-skinned, and replied calmly: "What the host personally made, the guests have to give face!" ”
Li Zhengxi didn't dump him at all, and said to Feng Xiaogang: "Have you read the script of "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", what do you think? ”
"Honestly, I found out for the first time that you are an authentic Chinese!" Feng Xiaogang is also an ultra-poor person, "There is no derogatory or discriminatory meaning in this statement!" ”
"Oh, hey," Jiang Wen said in a witty gag: "I said Comrade Zhengxi, whether you are a Chinese, a Korean, an American, your composition is quite complicated!" ”
It's not appropriate for others to say that, but he is really familiar with Lee Chung-hee, not to mention, Lee Chung-hee also understands this guy's temperament.
Smiled and shrugged, "Complicated, according to our Chinese, I'm a Chinese-American ...... of both Korean and American origin!" ”
"Don't talk nonsense with him!" Wang Xiaopang pulled Lee Chung-hee aside and said, "What, "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb" is definitely amazing, but, it's only a movie, are you a little too cautious, this year's "Soldier Assault" and "Bright Sword" are eye-opening, and everyone says that you write well!" ”
"Movie-wise, I still have to try!"
Li Zhengxi did not say it directly, it was just the beginning, and if it was too open, and if people were greedy, it would not be conducive to the development of future work.
Just like in South Korea and the United States, even if he has a lot of good scripts, he can only take his time, slowly open up the market, lay the foundation, and at the same time help the cultivation of the market.
On the contrary, the TV series will be simpler, because there are too many, even if he steals the show in one or two films, everyone will not care too much. (To be continued......)
