With the arrival of the school season, students who have been playing for two months have returned to campus, and the market for movies and TV dramas has suddenly become dull.

"Wolf Warrior" unexpectedly did not break the billion mark, and the final box office only stayed at 920 million.

As a movie with a lot of flaws, this box office is already very high, and if it is replaced with other genres other than comedy, the box office will definitely be discounted.

After the previous period of frenzy and excitement, the audience gradually calmed down and seriously examined the shortcomings of the film.

However, no one will be angry at these criticisms.

As Wu Jing said, he accepts any criticism of the film itself, because he knows what level he is.

But a brainless attack on patriotism is unacceptable to anyone.

It's almost all over now, not to mention the previous "Dragon Prince" Fang Zuming and the new little fresh meat Ke Zhendong's involvement, which also caused a lot of uproar and attracted a lot of attention.

"Wolf Warrior" can be regarded as a smooth and successful end, ending the 40-day screening.

However, after the next picture, the movie channel rebroadcast it three times in a week, and the ratings were all new highs for the movie channel in recent times.

And after the launch of major video websites, online playback also quickly entered the top of the rankings.

It is foreseeable that the success and influence of "Wolf Warrior" is not only limited to the time of release, most of the audience of the movie channel are older audiences, and these audiences who do not belong to the cinema also recognize this modern military movie.

The influence and box office were all great successes, although they failed to win the summer box office champion, and even less than half of the box office of "Transformers 4", but Li Qian felt that it was perfect.

There are no films in September, and this period has always been the coldest time of the year, with a few Hollywood blockbusters released.

Of course, some small-budget movies are also being released at this time.

There is more and more hot money pouring into the film and television industry, but there are only so many reliable directors, which naturally breeds too many bad movies.

As the saying goes, give it a go, a bicycle becomes a motorcycle, a block, a motorcycle becomes a Land Rover, these capitals are also blocked, anyway, they are all small-budget movies.

It has also promoted the prosperity of the industry and provided more and more jobs for actors, directors, and screenwriters at the bottom of the industry.

The general environment is good, which is beneficial to everyone, and the market value of Huayang Media has skyrocketed to 32 billion.

Money is really just a bunch of numbers, it has risen by 20 billion in less than two years, and there is nothing crazier than this.

Guangxian, Huace and other film and television stocks, regardless of the business situation, have all risen sharply, and each of them has a market value of 20 billion.

Of course, in addition to the general environment, several listed companies broke the news of mergers and acquisitions every few days, and the stocks rose sharply as soon as the news came out.

There is even news that Guangxian will take 1,200 acres of land in Minhang District, the magic capital, to build Huaguo Movie World Park, and the local government has held a press conference.

It seems that the land has not been obtained yet, but the stock has already risen.

Li Qian's future film industry also has some acquisitions, in fact, mergers and acquisitions have not stopped, constantly absorbing high-quality film and television drama production teams and marketing and publicity teams in the industry, and large and small companies and studios have also acquired seven or eight.

However, if it is not a listed company, there is no news every day.

After merging and appointing a large number of companies, the two major shareholders of Ah Lik and Penguin began to urge them to continue financing, and wanted to send money over every day, but Li Qian ignored them.

......

During this time, Li Qian didn't have anything to do, so he ate, drank, and played, and occasionally went to the special effects company to see the progress.

There is also a focus on the post-production of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern", after Xu Ke was busy with this movie, he went to prepare for "Lin Hai Xueyuan", that is, "Outwitting Tiger Mountain", and the editing of "Ghost Blowing the Lantern" had to wait until the special effects were done before he came back to cut it.

The leisurely time was not until September 20th, when Li Qian was dragged out by Tong Liya to participate in this year's Harper's Bazaar charity dinner.

"Why are you here to participate in this kind of activity when you're full, it's not interesting to watch others put on a show. ”

In the car, Li Qian watched Tong Liya sort out his clothes a little listlessly, since he just became famous in 08, he had already rejected the invitation to the six-year dinner party of this ghost magazine in the past.

To be honest, although this charity dinner is getting bigger and more famous, Li Qianzhen is not interested in this kind of activity, and it is better to give it to his charity fund than to give them money.

"Oh, if you don't come out and walk around and participate in some entertainment industry activities, you're really going to be out of touch with the industry. Tong Liya said earnestly, Li Qian felt that he was about to become an otaku in addition to work and rest.

"These indifferent activities are a waste of time, and I don't need them. Li Qian shook his head and said, "It's like some celebrities, who can often be seen attending various charity banquets all year round, and then hyping it up, isn't it just to maintain exposure."

These people, maybe they participate in five charity galas a year, and they haven't donated money once, this kind of behavior, according to the current Internet buzzword, should be called "white prostitution". ”

Tong Liya said, "What kind of white prostitution, it's a small part, most people are at least afraid of face, and they will always donate some money, no matter what the purpose is, as long as they donate money, it's a good thing." ”

Forget it, it's all here, let's just watch a play.

After a while, the clothes on her body that she didn't know what brand made Tong Liya tidy up to the extent that she was satisfied, and the car drove forward.

The car stopped at one end of the red carpet, and in the introduction of the host, and a "click" and cheers, someone opened the car door, and Tong Liya pulled Li Qian out of the car.

Go through the procedure, finish the red carpet in three or two steps, and then sign your name on the wall, chat with the host for a few words, and then enter.

At this time, I also heard the host continuing to introduce, "Next, please invite the famous actor Wu Yifan." ”

And with the introduction of the host, there was a sudden burst of violent cheers, and it sounded like the fans were extremely fanatical.

"Who is this, why haven't I heard of it?" Tong Liya was a little puzzled, there are not many such popular stars, but the name Wu Yifan seems to have never heard of it at all.

"You don't know normal, a member of a boy group that is very popular in Nanbang, and there are many fans in China. Li Qian explained, but why is the famous actor the host talking about, so strange.

"Then how do you know that you still care about Nanbang's entertainment industry?" Tong Liya became more and more curious.

He just starred in Xu Jinglei's new movie "There is a place only we know", it seems that he has a lawsuit with the original brokerage company, and it is estimated that he will return to China for development, and Huayang Media wants to sign him. ”

Li Qian used to be strange, because an important role in the movie "Lao Pao'er" starring Ma Xiaogang himself had an unfamiliar face, and he also appeared in a big production like "Journey to the West".

"It's not out of touch with the industry, the industry doesn't say everything, I know most of the things, even if I don't understand, naturally someone will regularly summarize the big and small things in the industry, and then report to me, and you can know the world without going out." Li Qian smiled.

"Of course your big boss is amazing, there are so many subordinates. Tong Liya pouted.

As he spoke, he also walked to the venue, and sat down at the table in the middle of the front row, and many people had already come.

"Brother Zheng, Brother Bo, Brother Chao, ..... Protecting the Wall"

I said hello to them, and they happened to be arranged in one place, and there were several other actors under the company in the back, and there were a lot of people coming, and ordinary people would not be absent if they could come to this kind of activity.

"Director Li, this is the first time to come to Harper's Bazaar's charity dinner, the year before last or the year before last, Su Hao wanted me to invite you to come, but I refused. Although Xu Zheng knew that Li Qian would come, he was still a little surprised.

"I'll come and see if it's okay, and I'm just idle and bored. Li Qian smiled, and then asked, "Brother Zheng, do you have an idea for a sequel to the embarrassing series?"

Xu Zheng shook his head, "I haven't figured out which way to go, there are only a few categories of comedy, and the style of "Thai Embarrassment" will not be considered for the time being." ”

Li Qian said, "Don't be in a hurry, think about it slowly, there are many good things, and a good movie can't be thought out in a day or two." ”

Think about it more, don't really make another "Hong Kong Embarrassment".

Li Qian did not continue to ask about this topic, it is really easy to return to the idea of "Hong Kong Embarrassment" if we continue to talk.

Comedy, on a global scale, can actually be summarized into several categories.

Satirical comedy, this is what Ma Xiaogang has filmed, "If You Are Honest, Do Not Disturb", "Private Custom", etc., satirize the current hot topics to achieve a comedic effect.

There are also joyful comedies, "Thai Embarrassment" is almost this category, mainly funny, or add some positive emotional elements.

In Hollywood, it is necessary to talk about comedy movies about middle-aged men and mid-life crises, "Hong Kong Embarrassment" is probably inspired by Hollywood comedies, telling the story of a middle-aged greasy man who finds his first love, Li Qian doesn't want to talk about this, what the hell is filmed.

After chatting for a while, Harper's Bazaar's Su Hao walked over quickly, and stretched out his hand to Li Qian with a smile on his face.

"Director Li's presence really made our dinner shine. ”

Li Qian shook his hand and said with a slight smile, "Mr. Su is polite." ”

"Director Li, you are a busy man, I haven't been here for a few years, I'm so happy that you can come this time. ”

......

After coping with it, and waiting for Su Hao to leave, Deng Chao smiled and said, "She has something to say, blame you for your big shelf, please don't move." ”

Li Qian shook his head, "Whatever she thinks, I'm going to come when she invites me?" ”

Xu Zheng was also deeply touched, "Yes, no one paid attention to you before you became famous, as soon as you became famous, countless activities came to you all year round, I was annoyed, if you don't go, they are still arranging you behind your back, saying that you play a big name and look down on people." ”

If you don't become famous, you have the trouble of not becoming famous, and if you become famous, you may be called hypocritical by others, but it's really annoying, that's the truth.

The poor want to eat a lot of fish and meat, and the rich also pay attention to less oil and less salt when eating vegetables.

It didn't take long for it to be almost time, and the people were all together, and the people at the next table led by Huang Zhongjun also arrived.

Cheng Long, Ma Xiaogang, Teng Huatao, Fan Binbin, Huang Xiaoming and his wife, and Wu Yifan just now.

"Director Li. ”

Except for Huang Zhongjun and Ma Xiaogang, even Cheng Long said hello to Li Qian before he sat down.

Glancing at Li Qian obliquely, Huang Zhongjun introduced Wu Yifan, a newcomer, with a smile.

"Director Li, let me introduce you, this is Wu Yifan, who just came back from Nanbang, Yifan, this is Director Li Qian, the only big director in our mainland who has won the Oscar. ”

Wu Yifan hurriedly said hello, "Hello Director Li, I'm Wu Yifan, I like your movies very much." ”

"Hello. ”

Stretching out his hand not to hit the smiling person, Li Qian also nodded and smiled, "I know you, that group is also quite famous in China, and many fans like you." ”

"I didn't expect Director Li to know me too. Wu Yifan showed sincerity and fear, after a few years of trainee career in a country like Nanbang, there are few people who have a bad attitude towards people who are better than him.

On the side, Ma Xiaogang said coldly, "Director Li is worthy of being a young man, and he also knows the boy group of Nanbang." ”

This is a change of way to sarcastically mock himself, Li Qian didn't think so, he had scolded himself for disrespecting his elders a few years ago, but he just smiled and said, "Director Ma, we still can't lag behind the times when we make movies, although you are old, you can't be outdated, if you are out of touch with the times, the times will abandon you." ”

Ma Xiaogang snorted coldly imperceptibly, and he didn't go back, anyway, he and Li Qian exchanged scolding, and they didn't win.

This Ma Xiaogang ridiculed for no reason, which also made Teng Huatao, Fan Binbin, and Huang Xiaoming a little embarrassed.

Teng Huatao and Li Qian have a good relationship, and the two movies have been discussed together before.

And Huang Bo, Deng Chao, and Tong Liya, which of them is not bigger than Fan Binbin and Huang Xiaoming, not to mention the two big directors Li Qian and Xu Zheng, they are embarrassed to join in the fun.

As for Cheng Long, he was obviously in a bad state, and he felt a little forced to laugh, even if Fan Binbin, who was sitting next to him, was so close, and his soft flesh was about to be pasted, he was indifferent.

After all, if something so big happened to his son, it would be strange to laugh.

This is the real pit father, Li Qian shook his head secretly and asked Teng Huatao.

"By the way, Director Teng, you are now helping Beijing Satellite TV do a variety show?"

"Yes, the recording has been completed, and the broadcast will start on National Day. Teng Huatao replied a little embarrassed, embarrassed to look at Li Qian.

At the beginning, in order to escape, he was a first-line director and ran to pick up variety shows, but now that I think about it, I am embarrassed to death, I don't know how many people laugh at it.

Huang Zhongjun, who was on the side, was also very upset when he saw Li Qian mention this, which clearly made him embarrassed.

However, Li Qian said, "Actually, there is nothing bad, now young people like to watch variety shows, and there are more and more types of programs, as a creator, or the main target is young creators, we should have a deeper understanding of the elements that young people like, and we can also have some reference for the production of movies in the future." ”

This is a subtle reminder to Teng Huatao, don't be as self-congratulatory as "Waiting for the Wind", since you are making a commercial film, you can't ignore the audience's preferences, otherwise the audience will teach you to be a man.

Teng Huatao didn't hear the meaning of Li Qian's words, seeing that Li Qian didn't laugh at him, but expressed support, he was greatly relieved in his heart, and followed Li Qian's words and continued, "I've been reading some books that have been popular among young people in the past two years, and Jiang Nan's "Dragon Family" has finished reading the first one. ”

"I have also seen "Dragon Family", Jiang Nan also topped the list of rich writers last year with this series, and suppressed Mo Yan and Zheng Yuanjie, and the writing is really good. Li Qian said.

When it comes to "Dragon Clan" and Jiang Nan, Li Qian thinks of Jiang Nan's other book "Demon Capital Fortress", and remembers the embarrassing scene of the handsome young man who shouted "fire at me" to his comrades before he died generously, and he wanted to be slapped twice.

was slapped a few times, at least the tone and mentality were slightly stronger, not soft.

I don't know which sand sculpture was filmed in this big bad movie, and I don't know when I will be able to see it.

""Dragon Family" is a fantasy, but I think the ignorant and ambiguous emotional story between men and women, which seems to be absent, is very well written, especially heartfelt, and especially easy to empathize. Teng Huatao was not so embarrassed, but discussed it with Li Qian.

"It's very difficult to remake, otherwise I would really like to try to make it into a series. ”

Li Qian was a little stunned, thinking that Teng Huatao was just talking about fun, but looking at his serious appearance, he was a little uncertain.

Where did this confidence come from, I couldn't even shoot a simple story like "Waiting for the Wind", and I went to shoot "Dragon Family".

However, Teng Huatao was not defeated because of a temporary failure, and there was still ambition in his eyes, and Li Qian hoped that he could succeed again.
