"Jingle bells... Jingle bell..."

At six o'clock in the morning, the silent bedroom suddenly remembered a burst of alarm bells.

Tong Liya, who was sleeping soundly in Li Qian's arms on the bed, was immediately awakened and quickly sat up.

This movement also woke Li Qian up, his head rubbed against Tong Liya's lap, and he looked at the time with sleepy eyes.

"What time is it, wake up so early. ”

"It's six o'clock!"

Tong Liya casually put two clothes on her body, and got up in a hurry.

"I'll go to school first, you remember to come on time. ”

After washing up, she put on makeup on the dresser, picked out clothes from the wardrobe and changed them, and Tong Liya went out with her bag.

Acting so quickly, Li Qian, who was still a little sleepy, didn't react for a while.

After a while, I got out of bed.

That's right, today Tong Liya's graduation drama premiered, no wonder she is so active in school.

Li Qian simply got up, and it was not good to sleep too much.

Brushed his teeth and washed his face, and went downstairs to buy a breakfast.

Go back to the study and turn on the computer.

Flipping through the email first, Li Qian sent himself an announcement to recruit an executive director not long ago, and he also received many resumes.

It is an attractive opportunity to execute a director who has broken 100 million at the box office.

Executive directors and cinematographers are the two easiest professions to become directors across industries, and the executive and cinematographers of big directors are even more likely.

In any case, under the hands of a big director, even if he only made one or two films, this resume is far better than that of executors and photographers in seven or eight crews.

What's more, the directors of the two movies "Jaws: Revenge" and "127 Hours" are both executive and assistant directors under Li Qian, which is well known in the circle.

Qi Yukun and Guo Fan are both in their twenties, and because they have worked under Li Qian for more than half a year, they got the opportunity to direct alone, but they really envy the dead.

You must know that there are dozens of directing students who graduate from the three major art colleges + Communication University in China every year, and it is basically impossible to get the opportunity to direct alone after graduating for two or three years, unless there is a film with an investment of tens of thousands of yuan, not to mention a commercial film like "Jaws: Revenge" that costs nearly 10 million.

After four or five years, there are more than 100 directing students who have not had the opportunity to become directors.

And the two people who are not from the professional class have been the executive director and assistant director of Li Qian for more than half a year, and they have the support of Li Qian, and they can be the director and make their own films.

This is undoubtedly a huge temptation, and it has only been a long time, and after Guangxian was screened, Li Qian sent more than 20 resumes.

There are students from the directing departments of various colleges in the past, and there are also studios, mainly these two categories, and the quality after screening is much better.

Directing students who do not have at least three years of experience in at least three crews and multiple positions are directly passed.

Li Qian's executive director does not require strong professional knowledge, which is not the point.

On the contrary, work experience, understanding of the entire crew from top to bottom, management and scheduling ability are the key.

I looked at these resumes, and there was no one who fully met Li Qian's requirements.

Some assistant directors and executive directors who are not from professional studios, although their work experience and understanding of all occupations in the crew meet the requirements.

However, he is a little older, Li Qian still wants to find a younger one, young people have potential, physical strength and energy, and young people are more desperate.

And most of them have worked as assistant directors, that is, they are miscellaneous assistant directors.

There will be no suitable candidates for a while, but Li Qian is not in a hurry.

Now it's easy to find an executive by yourself, whether it's the name of a director with a box office of 100 million yuan, or the opportunity to direct alone, it's very attractive.

I turned off the mail and read the news again.

The Xiangjiang entertainment industry, which had been serialized before, ended a few days before the earthquake, and finally ended with the actor apologizing in public and quitting the showbiz indefinitely.

It's over, and the aftermath is not enough, but it's just beginning.

......

In terms of the film industry, the box office of "Yangtze River No. 7" exceeded 200 million, becoming another film with a box office of more than 100 million yuan during the Chinese New Year, and temporarily ranked as the annual box office champion in 2008.

Zhou Xingchi directed and acted in two movies with a box office of more than 100 million in a row, and he was in the limelight for a while.

The box office of the basketball movie "Slam Dunk" starring Jay Chou also reached 110 million, and the appeal of the little king in the music world is undoubted.

Today's once-in-50-year cold winter has not cooled down the film market, but is much hotter than any previous year.

Even if you count "Frequency of Life and Death", which will be released on December 30, in January, there will be two films in the film market of 100 million and one 200 million in the film market, which is not much worse than the Lunar New Year file.

In addition, on March 7, there will be a costume blockbuster "Jiangshan Beauty" starring Li Ming, Donnie Yen, and Chen Huilin.

Produced by Chen Kexin and directed by Cheng Xiaodong, the two collaborated again after "Casting a Name".

However, "The Beauty of the Mountains", a costume blockbuster with an investment of over 100 million yuan, also suffered Waterloo, and it took ten days after its release to get a box office of 33 million, which is a bloody loss.

With a cost of hundreds of millions, the final box office is not even estimated to reach 50 million, which can be called the worst costume blockbuster in recent years.

The last costume blockbuster that pounced so badly was "Heroes of Heaven and Earth" in 03, which got a box office of 40 million five years ago, and relied on Columbia, one of the investors, Huayang Media made a fortune.

However, in this situation, overseas investors have long woken up from the big sales of "Hero", and costume blockbusters are no longer so easy to sell.

The huge loss is certain, "Jiangshan Beauty" is still dominated by Bernard, and a company jointly opened by Zeng Zhiwei and Chen Kexin, and Tianxia Film and Television under Xiangjiang Meiya Entertainment have invested a little bit.

Berner didn't make any money in the previous Lunar New Year file "Casting Names", and now he has suffered a huge loss, and Yu Dong, who has just gotten financing, planted a big heel at the beginning.

However, after the Chinese New Year stalls that lasted until the Spring Festival, the domestic film market was not cold at all.

This month, two Hollywood blockbusters, "National Treasure" and "10,000 Years Before History", were released, and the protagonist of the former, Nicolas Cage, is well-known in China.

In April, there are also "Three Kingdoms: Seeing the Dragon Unloading the Armor" starring Liu Dehua, "Children of Huangshi" starring Zhou Yanfa, the Sino-US co-production blockbuster "The King of Kung Fu" starring Cheng Long and Li Lianjie, and the Hollywood superhero movie "Iron Man".

Four blockbusters are released in a month, and this section is much more lively than the Chinese New Year and summer files in previous years.

And the reason for the release of four blockbusters in April is also obvious.

The super battleship "Red Cliff" in the summer file is about to be released vigorously.

Not to mention anything else, the cost of up to 600 million alone is terrifying enough.

Director Wu Yusen, starring in a large number of first-line stars, and the theme is also familiar to the audience in the Battle of Red Cliffs of the Three Kingdoms, almost no one will doubt whether "Red Cliff" will be a big hit.

The difference is just how far it explodes!

Even the movies starring two kung fu superstars such as "The King of Kung Fu" were not selected in the summer file with a larger market, which is enough to see the deterrent power of this movie.

has a huge summer file, and no decent movie dares to compete.

However, just a few days ago, the crew of "Red Cliff" had an accident when they were filming part of the footage in Xiaotangshan, and one was killed and seven were injured.

Last year, I was in a hurry, like rushing to death, and went to the printing factory to cut the queue, and now it's been almost 10 months, and I haven't finished filming, and I have an accident, and I don't know what I'm rushing to.

......

In the evening, Li Qian rushed to the Chinese opera to watch the graduation drama of the 08-level acting class of the Chinese opera.

Chinese Opera Shaw Theater, although the graduation drama does not sell tickets to the public, but tickets for so many seats always have to be given away, and about 700 seats are also full.

There were a lot of people, so Li Qian wore a hat, wearing a thicker one, so as not to be recognized.

There is nothing to see in this play, it is Gorky's adaptation of "At the Bottom".

Just look at the name to know what it is, talk about the tragic fate of some people at the bottom, and then deeply attack the authoritarian system that deprives them of the possibility and hope of returning to life.

It's quite famous, and the neon film master Akira Kurosawa adapted the original book decades ago.

Stanislavsky has also acted in this drama before, and is the author of "The Self-cultivation of Actors", which has an extraordinary status in the domestic film and television industry, and the first generation of directors borrowed from his directing and acting theories.

However, Li Qian is not particularly interested in dramas, and Tong Liya only has two lines, and she is pitiful with few scenes, pretending to be a poor old lady, holding a wooden bucket for laundry that is larger than others.

After the drama was finished, Li Qian also contributed his applause, and left the stage after a while.

Tong Liya still had to get together with her classmates and teachers, and Li Qian was ready to go home and wait for her.

However, Li Qian, who came out of the Shaw Theater and walked towards the school gate, suddenly felt that something was wrong.

Looking back, a girl with short hair was following her.

Seeing that he stopped and looked back at him, he even took the initiative to step forward.

"Hello Director Li. ”

I'm so well disguised and recognized?

Li Qian touched the hat on his head, it seemed that he was not a qualified underground worker.

"Hello, is there something wrong?"

Seeing that Li Qian was still willing to deal with her, a stranger, the girl hurriedly said, "Hello Director Li, I am a student of the 05-level directing department of Chinese opera, my name is Su Lun, I heard that you are recruiting an executive director..."

Directing student?

No wonder, it doesn't look like you're studying acting.

However, before she finished speaking, Li Qian waved his hand and said, "Guangxian has made an announcement, you can send your resume to the mailbox above the announcement." ”

Seeing Li Qian turn around and leave, Su Lun hurriedly followed, "Director Li, I sent out my resume more than a week ago, but there has been no response, I want to ask you to give me a little time and allow me to introduce myself." ”

Li Qian shook his head, one of the requirements he gave to Guangxian was to exclude women.

In the workplace, women are at a disadvantage, both physically and psychologically, and it is difficult to compete with men.

In high-intensity and continuous overtime work, men are tired, let alone women, and men don't have to take care of their skin, so it doesn't matter if they live roughly.

However, meeting is fate, and the third-year students of the Chinese Opera Director Department still have a level, at least much better than Guo Fan at the beginning.

And a few of the actors invited tomorrow are going to audition in the studio, but the studio is now sent out, and there is not even a chore.

At least do the miscellaneous head office, and then find a good reason to send it away.

Li Qian looked back at her twice, and at first glance she was not a weak girl, so she asked, "Is there a chance to play with film?"

Su Lun was stunned for a moment, then nodded hurriedly, "Yes." ”

"Will the blinder light clone doppelganger?"

Su Lun nodded again with a look of surprise.

"Yes!"

"Come to my studio at nine o'clock tomorrow morning. ”

reported the address of the studio to him, and Li Qian left, leaving Su Lun with a surprised face, and waved his hand vigorously in place.

......

Once the script is complete, it's time to move on to the next stage of preparation.

Finding actors, writing storyboards, building indoor studios, and making models all take time.

I hope I can find the right actor on the first day tomorrow, it is the seven or eight actors carefully selected by Li Qian, I hope he won't be disappointed.
