For Lee Shengyao, the filming of Coke Coke and Palmer's commercials are small attempts other than the director's.

It was not the main job, and many advertisers approached him in the future, but he refused.

During this time, he spent more time writing scripts.

is not the script he wants to direct, but the script prepared for Cheng Long, including "Commuter Rescue", "Unknown Identity", "Revenge in the Night", "Cold-Blooded Pursuit".

There is also a script for Chai Zhiping, which is "My Girlhood".

In addition to writing scripts, I just read the scripts and watched "No Man's Land" sent by Ning Hao and Xu Zheng.

After he made sure that there was no sensitive content in it, he agreed to invest and let Ning Hao shoot it.

In addition, Chen Hao took her parents to Yanjing to play, and Li Shengyao accompanied the old man for two or three days.

In this way, time flew by, and before I knew it, it was March.

"Hurricane Rescue 2" has been drawn everywhere, and the final global box office is 470 million US dollars, which is a little higher than previously predicted.

The box office of "Introduction to Architecture" is about the same as the previous two youth films, with more than 100 million yuan in the mainland, more than 40 million in Wanwan, and more than 20 million in Hong Kong Island.

Director Li made a small profit again.

At 11 o'clock in the morning on this day, Director Li was writing a script at home when he received a call from Han Sanping, and then went to the International Trade Building.

Soon after, Li Shengyao met Han Sanping and his classmate Huang Jianxin.

Han Sanping's complexion is excellent, her little face is flushed, her mouth is smiling, her eyes are smiling, and her wrinkles are smiling.

Relatively speaking, Huang Jianxin is much more tired.

He was originally a person who looked at some bookish temperament, but at this time his eyes drooped and he looked weak.

In Li Shengyao's previous life, the two movies "The Great Cause of the Country" and "The Great Cause of the Party/Great Cause" were both directed by Han Sanping and Huang Jianxin.

Han Sanping is the boss of China Film, so he naturally has a lot of things to deal with, and he has so much time to do things on the set.

It was mainly Huang Jianxin who guided the shooting.

These two movies are of great significance, although the stars don't dare to put up a fight, but there are too many stars, and there must be a lot of things that need to be coordinated, and Lao Huang is naturally tired.

Li Shengyao saw it in his eyes and nodded with a chuckle.

When Han Sanping saw Li Shengyao, he immediately smiled and said, "Director Li, please take a seat, please take a seat." ”

"Director Han, you're in a good mood."

"Hey, I'm busy, one by one, Liu Dehua, Zhou Runwei, Chen Daoming, Zhang Guoli, all have to come to act, we are really busy, we don't know how to arrange."

Although he said that he was busy, as if he was complaining, he was smiling.

It should be very cool to let so many big-name actors honestly listen to their own acting.

Although Han Sanping was respected everywhere she went before, she had never experienced the feeling of commanding so many stars.

"Director Han, I'm not busy with the show, when I'm not nervous on the set, you call me again."

Huang Jian said in the news and looked up at Li Shengyao.

"Director Li, have you had time lately?"

"What's wrong?"

"Can you help me, I've been so tired lately, my busy feet don't touch the ground?"

Han Sanping looked over with a pair of small eyes, he didn't seem to expect his old classmate to be so tired.

"Director Huang, no, I'm writing a script, the script I directed, Cheng Long's script, and Wu Jing's next script, I don't have time to go to the set to do things."

If it's a day or two, Lee Shengyao is willing to help.

But to make a movie, or a big-scene movie like "The Great Cause of the Country", it will take three or four months, how to say it, where does he have this time.

Huang Jian said in the news, nodding with a wry smile, "It's me who is tired and stupid." ”

He then poured himself a glass of wine and drank it all, "Director Li, don't mind. ”

"Little things."

Han Sanping then got up and poured tea for Li Shengyao, and also introduced the good dishes on the table, "Director Li, let's eat first, after eating, I have something good to tell you." ”

Half an hour later, Li Shengyao and the three of them finished lunch.

Han Sanping poured tea for Li Shengyao and Huang Jianxin, and asked the waiter to serve a plate of fruit, and then said: "Director Li, this time "The Great Cause of Jianguo" is a gift film, and it attaches great importance to it, I believe it will definitely get a good box office." ”

This is for sure, there are so many stars in this movie, and many units will organize employees to watch the movie at that time.

In Li Shengyao's previous life, "The Great Cause of the Country" got a box office of 420 million, second only to "Avatar".

"When I was chatting with Lao Huang, I suddenly had an idea."

Han Sanping blinked her eyes, and then said: "Since we can make "The Great Cause of Jianguo", we can make the story of Jiandang, I think this movie can be called "Jiandang/Great Cause". ”

Li Shengyao smiled when he heard this, and gave a thumbs up, "Director Han, Director Huang, good idea." ”

"Director Li, what about you, do you want to direct this movie?"

Han Sanping looked at Li Shengyao with blazing eyes.

"When the time comes, you will arrange hundreds of stars, and there will be no problems with the movie scheduling, investment, and schedule, all of which are the best."

Han Sanping's words did not bluff people, "The Great Cause of the Country", "The Great Cause of the Party/Great Cause", and later "The Great Cause of the Army", the three movies have a lot of stars.

It's really hundreds of stars at your command.

For the director, it is definitely a very refreshing thing.

And for such a special significance movie, there is no problem with investment, film scheduling, and scheduling, and the box office of the movie will not be bad.

Making such a movie is not only cool, but also not worrying about the income of the movie.

Han Sanping continued: "Director Li, Lao Huang and I thought of this idea, and the first thing that came to mind was you, and we both felt that you were suitable. ”

Li Shengyao glanced at Han Sanping, he probably understood what Han Sanping meant.

In recent years, Fenghua has made a lot of money with China Film, and Han Sanping has always felt that she owes favors to others and wants to repay favors.

Director Han didn't want to harm Director Li, but wanted to give Li Shengyao benefits.

But......

Lee didn't want to direct such a special film.

It's not that he wants to drag Han Sanping and not give him a chance to return the favor, the main thing is that such a movie doesn't mean much to him.

First of all, you can't make a lot of money, whether it is "The Great Cause of the Country", or the later "The Great Cause of the Party/Great Cause", or "The Great Cause of the Army", the biggest investor must be China Film.

There is no need to run at this point, in addition to China Film, there must be some other film and television companies, and even special department investment.

The amount of investment allocated to Fenghua will be very small.

In this case, although it can get four or five billion box office, for small investors, the profits are pitiful and meaningless.

Fenghua can only drink some soup with it.

The second is that there are many stars, and it is very cool to direct them to act, but the schedules of the stars must be arranged one by one, and there is a lot to consider when filming.

So many stars get together to film, it's actually very tiring.

Just like Huang Jianxin now, this is a very heavy job.

In addition, movies like "The Great Cause of the Nation" tell the real history, and there is very little room for the creator to play.

Once the creator has some ideas of his own, he wants to do some artistic processing.

If the effect is good, forget it, if the effect is not good, it will inevitably be blamed by many people.

Finally, there is a movie like "The Great Cause of Strengthening the Country", the audience is looking at the stars, or because of patriotism, and no one is looking at the director.

In his previous life, Han Sanping and Huang Jianxin directed "The Great Cause of the Country" and "The Great Cause of the Party/Great Cause", which got a high box office.

But in the hearts of the audience, or professionals, the status of these two has not improved.

No one thinks that they are really good at directing.

Li Shengyao is already a representative of Renda, and he does not take a career in office, so he does not need this honor at all.

To sum up, he didn't want to take it.

"Director Han, Director Huang, thank you for thinking of me, but I haven't directed such a big-scene movie, and I don't know much about that history."

"Forget it, I'm too young, or you two are more suitable, you shoot, in order to shoot with a sense of heaviness."

When Han Sanping heard this, she smiled bitterly and said, "Director Li, you really refuse." ”

Huang Jianxin smiled, picked up the teacup, and took a sip of tea, "I just said that Director Li doesn't like this type of movie." ”

The two have talked about this for a long time, and Han Sanping hopes to let Li Shengyao direct.

Huang Jianxin agreed with Han Sanping's decision, but he felt that Director Li should refuse.

Han Sanping rolled her eyes, waved her hand at Huang Jianxin, and then asked: "Director Li, as long as this movie is approved, the above will definitely pay attention to it, do you want to consider it?"

Such a movie, the above should pay great attention.

There is even a chance to go up to the heavens.

Crisis and opportunity coexist.

Director Li still thinks before, he doesn't want to go on a career path, just make commercial films honestly, or art films.

He didn't want to touch such a gift film.

"Director Han, I still made the same decision before, I really can't shoot."

Hearing this, Han Sanping nodded with a wry smile, he sighed, and then got up to pour tea for Li Shengyao, "There is one more thing on my side, but you shouldn't be interested." ”

"You say."

"CCTV is going to prepare for the Mid-Autumn Festival party, do you have any ideas to be a director in the past?"

Han Sanping added, "This year's Mid-Autumn Festival is October 3rd, and the situation is a bit special. ”

This year is the 60th anniversary of Jianguo, and there will be big moon soldiers in Yanjing at that time, and the Mid-Autumn Festival party at this point in time will naturally reflect the relevant spirit.

This Mid-Autumn Festival party is really not good.

Maybe CCTV will start preparing the program now.

Naturally, Li Shengyao would not do such a thankless job.

"Director Han, you still know me, I'm not interested."

Han Sanping laughed, "Okay, I'll convey your meaning later." ”

Huang Jianxin said at this time: "Director Li, if you have been so idle, maybe some people will make irresponsible remarks and say that you don't contribute, you should prepare a new movie by then, right?"

Lee Shengyao nodded, "Of course, I will be on the set in July at the latest." ”

He hasn't really figured out what movies to shoot yet, but the rest of the itinerary has already been arranged.

The year before last, in his hometown, he promised to shoot a promotional video for the province of Alinka.

He should return to his hometown in April to make a short film, and start promoting "Hurricane Rescue 3" in May, and when "Hurricane Rescue 3" is drawn, he will shoot a new movie at that time.

But what kind of movie to make, he is a little entangled.
