Chapter 408: Not all the way

On February 16, 2008, at 6 p.m., it was completely dark in Yanjing.

Today is the tenth day of the first lunar month, and it is not yet time for the start of school, but many college students are bored at home and come to Yanjing early.

There are a lot of young people on the streets outside.

Many people go to the cinema to watch a movie called "The Little Thing of First Love", and they are chatting while moving forward quickly.

This is a crooked romance film, and Director Li is the screenwriter, just like last year's "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years".

Valentine's Day premiere on February 14.

The movie is very realistic, funny, and moving, with the theme of first love, telling the story of a girl who becomes better for a boy.

There is no doubt that Chinese people like to reminisce about their first love, they are a group of people who are very nostalgic and very easy to feel youthful.

Just like "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", this movie exploded at its premiere, especially among young people.

At this time, those young people who talk about "The Little Thing of First Love" are not an isolated phenomenon, but a very ordinary situation.

As soon as these young people left, a small car came and stopped at the entrance of the China World Summit Wing, and the hotel waiter immediately stepped forward to lead the park.

After a few moments, two young men walked down.

Both of them are wearing down jackets, one walks in front and one in the back.

The young man walking behind is tall and cold-eyed, and it is Li Shengyao, the screenwriter of "The Little Thing of First Love".

He left his hometown with Chen Hao in the sixth year of junior high school, Chen Hao had something to do at home, and she returned to Qingdao.

Li Shengyao promoted the upcoming "First Love" in Yanjing to prepare for its release.

The box office reached 19 million on the opening day, surpassing "Slam Dunk", and now ranks first in the mainland box office list.

Hong Kong Island is a little weird, probably due to the influence of the swallow door, Hong Kong Island people are a little resistant to Chinese-language movies, and the premiere date is only 2.2 million.

However, the box office on Hong Kong Island increased the next day.

In fact, Hong Kong Island people like to watch bent youth movies, bent "Those Years, The Girl We Chased Together", "Cape No. 7", and "My Girlhood" are very high at the box office on Hong Kong Island.

The movie was released simultaneously in the three countries of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, and the results were gratifying, and friends in Southeast Asia liked such pure campus love movies even more.

In the three countries of Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, it ranked first in the box office list when it premiered, surpassing the Hollywood movies released at this time.

Today is the third day of the release, and it stands to reason that Lee Shengyao is going to promote.

But he really didn't have time, he made an appointment with Cheng Long to strive for "Hurricane Rescue 23" to start at the end of February.

He was applying for a visa to go to Tuji, and when the visa came down, he and a group of crew members immediately rushed to Tuji.

He came here this time, not because he wanted to try Guomao's food, but because someone wanted to treat him.

Knowing that Li Dadao was about to go to Tuji and would not return to China for a long time, Chai Zhiping hurriedly came to Yanjing.

She wants to find Li Shengyao to get the script of the next movie she will work with, and by the way, listen to Director Li's request.

"The Little Thing of First Love" is also very popular in the bend, and the data in the same period is not as good as "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", which should not be as high as the former box office, but it will not be much worse.

Four million investments, more than 10 million returns.

In Chai Zhiping's eyes, Li Shengyao is the God of Wealth, and if she can, she hopes to have a co-production movie every year in the future.

Before Li Shengyao and his assistant entered the hotel, they saw Chai Zhiping.

Sister Chai was wearing a yellow short down jacket on her upper body, an over-the-knee skirt on her lower body, and a pair of warm cotton pants on the inside of the skirt.

It looks very casual and popular.

However, her skin is getting tighter and tighter, and her skin is getting more and more oily, telling that the owner has used hyaluronic acid, and maybe she will have a skin.

It cost a lot of money again.

She undoubtedly made money.

"Director Li, seeing you is really like seeing the sun, I feel that the world is much brighter and warmer."

Li Shengyao smiled, "Mr. Chai is still so good at talking." ”

"It's not comparable to you, I often watch your interviews, and I feel that the whole person has improved a lot."

The two of them chatted and walked at the same time.

Chai Zhiping was slightly half a step behind, like a subordinate reporting work.

Not long after, when he came to the box booked by Chai Zhiping, the assistant pushed open the door, then turned his head and looked at Li Dadao with envy.

There was a girl standing in the box, but it was not Guo Biting last year, but a girl who was younger and looked more wasting.

The girl is in her twenties and wears a fitted long-sleeved pair of jeans.

Simple dress, with curvature in the front and back.

She tilted her head slightly, opened a pair of big eyes, and looked at Li Dadao with a wink, looking innocent.

This girl is Guo Xuefu, the later god of the bent house.

In Li Shengyao's previous life, she didn't know where the relationship came from, and she hosted the show with Wang Han.

In the show, it is a pure and delicate character.

Of course, those who know her know that she is playing a lot in the bend.

Her face is not as good-looking as Guo Biting, but her figure is indeed more material.

"She's nineteen."

Chai Zhiping whispered beside him.

Li Shengyao nodded, "Well, it's beautiful." ”

Chai Zhiping was overjoyed, and then beckoned to eat.

"Director Li, my name is Guo Xuefu, you can call me Xiaoxue, I'm your fan, can I sit next to you?"

Guo Xuefu was obviously more outgoing and bold than Guo Biting, and then she grabbed Li Dadao's hand and leaned closer to Li Shengyao.

And there has already been substantial contact.

"Director Li, what do you want to eat, I'll give you a bowl of soup first."

"This soup is very nutritious, very sweet, and Director Li will be more handsome when he drinks it."

Guo Xuefu then served Li Dadao to eat.

Chai Zhiping and his assistant ate their own, and at the same time said some hot words.

After eating a meal, Chai Zhiping personally poured tea for Li Shengyao, and then led Li Dadao to sit on the sofa next to him.

As for Guo Xuefu and his assistant, they still sat at the big round table.

"Director Li, this time I entrusted you Hongfu, we have received a lot of benefits, "The Little Thing of First Love" has achieved very good results in the bend."

Li Shengyao nodded, "Cooperation is like this, win-win is possible, hello and me, everyone has something to earn." ”

"You're right."

Li Shengyao waved his hand to the assistant, who immediately took the briefcase, opened the zipper, and handed the script to Director Li.

"This is our next film project, called Introduction to Architecture."

Li Shengyao handed the script to Chai Zhiping, "Take a look." ”

He then told the story of the film.

"Introduction to Architecture" is also a movie about first love.

It turns out that the country in this circle of Dongya really likes first love.

It's a pity that "Love Letter" was filmed early, and Director Li didn't have to copy it.

It's just different from "The Little Thing of First Love", "Introduction to Architecture" is a college student, the male and female protagonists got together early, and had a sweet time, but they were separated because of a misunderstanding, and it wasn't until they reunited fifteen years later that they understood the friendship between the two sides.

And after they met again, they didn't go together, and the two missed it in the end.

In Lee Shengyao's previous life, the film was released in March 2012 and overtook his big cousin's "The Hunger Games" on the peninsula to become the box office champion of the same period.

With a total of 4 million views at the time, it was the highest-grossing traditional romance film on the Peninsula.

Chai Zhiping watched and listened, and nodded at the same time.

"Director Li, this script is so good, I feel better than "The Little Thing of First Love"."

"The Little Thing of First Love" ended up with a happy ending, while "Introduction to Architecture" did not, in this regard, "Introduction to Architecture" is more like "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", and the ending has regrets.

However, the heroes and heroines of "Introduction to Architecture" are all well-behaved boys, they did not betray, did not have a fetus, did not have a miscarriage, did not jump off the building, they are like ordinary people around us, under such a persona, the regret will be deeper.

Li Shengyao actually thinks that this movie is more suitable for mainland audiences to watch.

The feelings in "Introduction to Architecture" are similar to those of mainland college students, love at first sight, and then get along implicitly, after confessing, they are still very entangled in whether it is love, they are very happy when they are together, and then because of some misunderstandings, they separated.

The three views of the male and female protagonists are very normal, and they are not made by heaven and earth.

He feels that this kind of emotional experience is closer to reality than "To Youth" and "You at the Same Table", and "The Year in a Hurry".

"You just have to approve it."

Li Shengyao paused, looked at Chai Zhiping, and said affirmatively: "Regarding the actor when the actor was young, I plan to let Brother Hu play it." ”

Fenghua is a group of artists, and Brother Hu is definitely not the best acting skills.

But on the whole, he is definitely the actor with the most promising chance of becoming a film and television superstar.

They have so many artists, so naturally they have to praise one or two.

"In Those Years, the Girl We Chased Together", the actor of "The Little Thing of First Love" is too young to be suitable for Brother Hu.

This time, Li Shengyao plans to let Hu Ge play the leading role in college.

Seventy percent of the plots of "Introduction to Architecture" are stories of young people, and in fact, Brother Hu is the first male protagonist.

When Chai Zhiping heard this, he opened his mouth and wanted to fight for it, but saw Li Dadao's determined gaze.

She knew that she couldn't change Director Li's decision.

"Okay, listen to you."

"What about the other characters?"

"You can arrange the other roles yourself, they must be in line with the character design, you have determined the list over there, give me a call."

Li Shengyao continued: "The investment in this film is very small, 10 million is enough, we are still the same as before, 5 million per family, the copyright belongs to me, the income from the Wanwan area belongs to you, Hong Kong Island, the mainland, and the southeast Ya belong to me." ”

"Okay, listen to you."

Li Shengyao picked up the teacup and touched a cup with Chai Zhiping.

Chai Zhiping secretly glanced at Guo Xuefu, and then said: "There are many good young people in Wanwan now, not only F4, but also Feilun Hai, Lollipop Group, 183 Group, 5566 Group, Director Li, we can actually prepare more movies." ”

Li Shengyao smiled when he heard this, "Is there a qualified actor in these combinations you said?" ”

These combinations can't be said to be without strength, but they are all a group of people who are more than enough than the top.

The only thing that is more distinctive is probably Mingdao.

However, Mingdao's face is too big and too dark, not suitable for the big screen.

He doesn't make TV series, Mingdao is distinctive, and it has nothing to do with him.

When Chai Zhiping heard this, she understood what Li Dadao meant, nodded and stopped talking about it.

She then got up and poured another cup of tea for Li Shengyao.

"Director Li, this time besides me, there are other people who want to see you, do you want to see him?"

"Who is it?"

"Wei Desheng."

Li Shengyao was stunned when he heard this, he remembered that when Yang Dechang was alive before, he also wanted to introduce Wei Desheng to him.

But he refused.

"Did he see anything about me?"

"He's making a new movie, a romance with a modern theme, but he has limited funds and wants to find investment, and I've read his script and think it's interesting."

Li Shengyao smiled when he heard this, and he quickly thought of what kind of movie it was.

It was "Haijiao No. 7" that was released in August this year, and it is said that Wei Desheng mortgaged his house in order to make this movie.

However, in the end, he created a miracle, "Haijiao No. 7" got a box office of more than 500 million units/currency in Wanwan, and more than 100 million yuan/coins in Ren/Min/coin, creating the most in the history of Wanwan films.

Of course, for this record, the film industry also took great pains, and the movie was released for more than 100 days, and it was postponed and postponed.

Chai Zhiping continued: "'He himself said that he would definitely make money and was willing to share the copyright. ”

This movie did make money, more than 100 million, and more than 20 million on Hong Kong Island and the mainland.

overtook "007 Quantum of Solace", "Journey to the Center of the Earth", and "Youth Musicale 3" on Hong Kong Island, becoming the No. 1 box office movie in the same period.

Chai Zhiping saw that Director Li didn't speak, and then said: "He also said that he was willing to make a movie for Fenghua in the future." ”

Wei Desheng is undoubtedly a talented director, and in Li Shengyao's previous life, Hua Yi wooed Wei Desheng.

These conditions sound like a good idea.

However, this person has a problem with his heart/will/standing/intestines.

(The first revision didn't work, I was too lazy to change it, so I deleted 400 words)

Li Shengyao smiled lightly and nodded, "I know, but I don't want to see him." ”

He paused for a moment, and then said: "When you choose actors, you must be careful, I don't want to be alone, otherwise, we will immediately terminate the cooperation, and in the future, your movie, no matter whether it can make money or not, Fenghua Cinema will definitely not show it." ”

"I'm sure not, I'm the one who supports Barrel One."

Chai Zhiping hurriedly expressed his loyalty.

Li Shengyao nodded, then got up, "That's it, I'm leaving." ”

"Xiaoxue, you can send Director Li home."

Guo Xuefu immediately got up, "Director Li, I'll send you." ”

Li Shengyao chuckled, "Let's go." ”

After the words fell, Director Li led Guo Xuefu and his assistant to stride away.

As for Wei Desheng, everyone is not a person all the way, he is too lazy to see it.

A moment later, Chai Zhiping stood on the side of the road and watched Li Dadao's car disappear into the distance.

A middle-aged man with a thin figure and glasses, looking at a somewhat literati temperament, walked out of the night, he was Wei Desheng.

thought that Director Li was willing to cooperate with Chai Zhiping, so he would invest in his films.

Now it seems like I was thinking too much.

Mainland filmmakers really crowd out the bend and bend the director.
