It's almost the end of September, and several movies in the National Day file have also started to work in full swing.

Basically, it is the competition for several movies such as "Painted Wall", "The Legend of the White Snake" and "Xinhai Revolution".

Li Qian conceived "Truman's World" in his mind, and also guided the adaptation of "Celebrating More Than Years", and then occasionally watched the editing of "The Adventures of Li Xianji", and also paid attention to the National Day file.

On the 23rd, "Xinhai Revolution" starring Cheng Long and Li Binbin was the first to be released, with a box office of 14 million in 3 days, which was a bit unsatisfactory.

Not all movies of this genre can sell as well as "The Great Cause of the Founding of the People's Republic", and the natural popularity is different.

The movie is actually okay, at the beginning of Qiu Jin going to the execution ground, the numb people crowded on both sides of the road, only the eyes of children are full of life, and then the photos of people with lofty ideals flashing on the screen are also resonant, creating a dignified atmosphere, but the back is a bit anticlimactic.

"The Legend of the White Snake" was released in advance the day before its release, and this theme, Li Lianjie played Fahai, which also attracted the attention of most of the audience.

However, I have shown a few shows at the Venice Film Festival before, and the feedback is not good, when Yangzi praised his wife at the film festival, some netizens said that she is a well, and both horizontal and vertical are two.

It was released at six o'clock in the evening of the 28th, and before eight o'clock, a large number of criticisms began to appear on the Internet.

And after a night passed, "The Legend of the White Snake" had been hacked into carbon on the Internet, and the movie itself was like that, and the reputation plummeted.

However, on the first day of release on the 29th, it still got a high box office of 15 million, and the theme and Li Lianjie were there.

Yangzi made a bold statement: Whether it is special effects or lineup, "The Legend of the White Snake" has not been surpassed by anyone in three years.

The special effects are really awesome, the white snake is like a worm, the green snake is like a vegetable worm, and the lotus where Xu Xian and Bai Suzhen live is not as good as plastic.

However, Yangzi was not happy for long, with 15 million on the first day, the total box office in the five days of the first weekend was only 60 million.

and "Painted Wall", which was released one day later, got 45 million box office in four days.

Under Guangxian's strong negative marketing offensive, "The Legend of the White Snake" was only 60 million in the second week, while "Painted Wall" got the normal 69 million, after all, it was close to a week's National Day holiday.

"The Legend of the White Snake", with a large investment of 200 million, and "Painted Wall" with an investment of 50 million yuan, are almost the same at the box office, but they were stunned by the eyeballs, and the negative marketing of Guangxian also showed its fangs for the first time.

......

In the future film industry, Li Qian was also surprised by the situation of the National Day file.

This Wang Changtian really has a hand, the black and yellow Yi Ernai, the special effects of "White Snake" are rough, and there is a golden sentence "Zhao Yazhi came to the world from the sky, and Huang Yiyi came from the heaven and the earth." ”

"The Legend of the White Snake" was ridiculed by the whole network, but "Painted Wall" did not have so many scoldings.

The two of them are half a catty, but Wang Changtian's propaganda is in place, Liu Yan, Xie Yan, Zheng Shuang and others have a large number of sexy and explosive R pictures all over the Internet, I don't know if "3D Meat Dumplings" is on the market.

The National Day file is going on in a situation that no one expected, and the angry Yangzi bombarded Wang Changtian every two days, and Weibo also burst into foul language, scolding, so that they have the ability to scold again on Weibo plus V.

The National Day file has become a farce.

However, Li Qian was not idle, after the National Day, the future cinema chain was officially established, and ten movie theaters, including UME, jumped ship to join, which made the industry feel uplifted.

The box office of ten high-end theaters is comparable to that of ordinary cinemas in more than 30 second-tier cities.

Although Wu Siyuan did not reach his goal, he still joined.

Of course, Li Qian also accepted it, anyway, he didn't suffer.

Entering the theater chain has also made major companies nervous.

However, immediately afterwards, Li Qian and Warner Bros. held a press conference to announce that they would jointly invest in the sci-fi blockbuster "Pacific Rim" and serve as the executive producer, and the heroine would choose a Chinese actress.

Walt?

The reporters in the audience were dumbfounded, they were too lazy to come to the press conference of a Hollywood movie, they all came for Li Qian.

Just now, it was strange why Li Qian would supervise a Hollywood movie, and now he has announced a more important news.

Hollywood science fiction blockbuster, the selection of Chinese actresses, is the first time in history.

"Director Li, why did you supervise this Hollywood sci-fi movie?"

"Director Li, you want to supervise the production of Hollywood movies, will the new film be released as scheduled?"

"Mr. Thomas, why did you choose a Chinese actress to play the heroine, and does it have anything to do with Director Li Qian?"

......

A lot of questions came at Li Qian and Thomas together.

Originally, there was a press conference or something, but now there is no need to do it, the movie will not be released until two years at the earliest, it is for Thomas to do, and then promote it first.

"I also invested in part of "Pacific Rim", and some scenes in this movie were filmed in China, so I helped take care of the domestic shooting, and as for the new film, it didn't affect it at all. Li Qian answered reporters' questions one by one.

"Is Director Li planning to enter Hollywood?" the reporter asked again.

"I don't have that idea yet, it's just an ordinary investment. Li Qian didn't give any ambiguous answers, and he really didn't have this idea at the moment.

"Mr. Thomas, is the selection of domestic actresses for the $200 million film aimed at the domestic market?" the reporter asked Thomas.

Thomas smiled, "This character is from Xiangjiang, so we will choose a Chinese actress to play, and of course I am also very optimistic about the Chinese film market." ”

"And who is Mr. Thomas going to invite?"

"The question of choosing the role, we will entrust it to Director Li Qian, after all, he is much more familiar with domestic actors than us, and I also believe in Director Li's vision. ”

"Director Li, do you want to be an actor?" the reporter turned his gun to Li Qian.

"At present, it is still under consideration, and it is better to be cautious about such a large investment in a big production. Li Qian smiled.

.......

Li Qian and Warner cooperated to invest 200 million in a big production, and Warner will entrust Li Qian to find a domestic actress to serve as the female lead for the movie, and the news spread that the entire film industry was shocked.

Li Qian participated in the investment, and he could also stuff a heroine in, which is unprecedented. obviously gave the role to Li Qian.

Major companies have inquired about what is the reason why Warner can give up such an important role as a female number one to Li Qian.

And this is even more big news for actresses in the circle, especially famous actresses.

That's a super blockbuster with an investment of $200 million, and there has never been such a heavyweight Hollywood blockbuster, which is played by a domestic actor.

Including Zhang Ziyi, who followed the king of sunglasses to shoot "The Grandmaster", the first-line actresses in the industry were all moved.

For the audience, anyone who knows a little about movies knows how important it is to invest $200 million in Hollywood blockbuster heroines.

"Damn, when will Li Qian supervise another sci-fi blockbuster, with an investment of 200 million US dollars, a super blockbuster of more than one billion yuan!"

"I just read the comic of "Pacific Rim", which is a film of humans controlling large mecha and monster PK, which is a fight with "Transformers". ”

"This kind of popcorn blockbuster doesn't matter, as long as it doesn't delay Li Qian to make a new film. ”

"It's not much fun to be similar to "Transformers", it's just a pure popcorn movie, looking forward to Li Qian's classic comedy!"

"But this "Pacific Rim" is a bit interesting, it is a person who enters the head of the mecha and a person controls it, which is a little different from "Transformers", and Li Qian also has to choose a domestic actress. ”

"With such a big investment in a film, give the actress's casting right to Li Qian, does Li Qian have such a big face?"

"Isn't it that Li Qian has an investment, the investor decides an actress, it should be no problem, but I don't know who Li Qian will choose. ”

"Zhang Ziyi is still Liu Yufei, apart from them, no one is famous abroad, right?"

"No matter who it is, it's amazing, the heroine of such a big investment can be regarded as going to the world!"

......

In fact, Li Qian doesn't know who to find to shoot, there are too few actresses who play the image of women in China, and there are few films that need this kind of heroine.

"I really want to act, but it's not for me. ”

Tong Liya flipped through the script of "Pacific Rim" with a loveless face, sighed there, and suddenly said excitedly, "Why don't I go to Shaolin Temple to practice for two months?"

"Come on. ”

Li Qian rolled his eyes, "This is a military role, and it is bitter and hateful, with a straight face all day long, you can't act as a monk, and there is still a little possibility of beating women in costume dramas." ”

"Alas. Tong Liya sighed again with pain on her face, a big production with an investment of 200 million US dollars, the role of the female number one is in front of her, but she can't play it.

In fact, she also knows that she is really not suitable for this kind of role, but she can't play it in front of her.

"I'm so uncomfortable, wait for you to go shopping with me, I want to buy, buy, buy!" Tong Liya said with a puffed face.

"Just ask them to accompany you, you girls have something to talk about. Li Qian was helpless.

If you sign an actor in the company, you can send them to accompany Tong Liya to go shopping, and save yourself a trip.

"Hmph, I'll go to Liying's house to sleep that night!" Tong Liya was very dissatisfied.

“？？？？”

Li Qian just wanted to say something, but the phone rang.

"Hey Mr. Song?"

It was Song Ge who called.

"Hehe, Director Li, congratulations, a $200 million production. Song Ge's hearty laughter came from the other side of the phone.

"It's a Warner film, and I'm just investing a little bit in it. ”

"Then Director Li, I won't sell Guan Zi anymore, that heroine, do you have any personnel to whom you want?"

Is this a role?

"There are a few candidates, and we have to look at the auditions. Li Qian said quietly.

"I don't know if Director Li can give Jingtian a chance, 10 million plus the greatest support of Wanda Cinemas for Director Li's films before the movie is released. "Song Ge knows Li Qian's character very well, he does things straightforwardly, there is no need to detour.

Ten million?

It's called Hanako.

Li Qian secretly despised it, but he was also backed by Wanda, and this money was too stingy.

Not to mention anything else, if this role is given to Zhang Ziyi, it is now October, and before New Year's Day, Zhang Ziyi will be able to earn back two 10 million.

Li Binbin and Fan Binbin, two people, don't have any films overseas, relying on walking a lot of red carpets every year, and then a wave of various domestic press releases, there are a lot of brand endorsements. Earn tens of millions a year.

If she really got the heroine of a blockbuster with an investment of 200 million US dollars, the first-line big brand would really take it casually, and she would really go international immediately, and she would no longer rely on rubbing the red carpet and be called a blanket star.

Although this heroine is similar to a supporting role, the robot is the protagonist, but she is also the heroine.

How did Megan Fox become famous in Transformers?

Thomas is also a fool, he doesn't understand the importance of this kind of role to domestic actresses, and the role worth tens of millions of dollars was picked up by Li Qianbai.

Anyway, I can't use it, Tong Liya can't act, Li Qian finds a suitable actress to sell it.

However, the specific price is not easy to say, Li Qian simply tried Song Ge, and the lion opened his mouth.

"Mr. Song, you also know this kind of role, how about 50 million?"
