Chapter 151 "People in Embarrassment" and "Nightclub"
"Jaws: Revenge" broke 100 million at the box office, becoming the second movie to break 100 million at the box office in the summer of 2008, and the second time that two movies broke 100 million at the same time in the summer file.
Previously, last year's summer file also had "Transformers" and "Harry Potter Order of the Phoenix", two of which broke 100 million, but they were both Hollywood movies.
And in 06, there was not even a movie with a box office of more than 100 million in the entire summer file.
It's still not as good as the Lunar New Year file, last year's four New Year movies broke 100 million, the year before last year, there were also three New Year's files, and there were two in 05.
Although the Olympics are becoming more and more popular, Huaguo has been competing with Mi Lijian in the gold medal list and medal table, which has greatly mobilized the enthusiasm of the people.
There is also Liu Xiang's retirement, and other big news has become the focus of any media attention throughout the summer.
However, "Jaws: Revenge" broke 100 million at the box office and more than 3 million viewers, which is also a big hit.
That is, this time there was no impact on the seaside tourism, and the audience was already immune after the first time.
Moreover, the seaside resorts of various coastal cities, since the release of "Jaws: Revenge", have been sending a large number of additional personnel to stay in the water around the clock.
Not to mention, there are still some tourists playing pranks this time, but they were discovered by the resort for the first time, otherwise if it is on the social news again, maybe the box office can be higher.
With three million viewers, there are always some sand sculptures that are funny.
The owners of these seaside resorts have been worried for more than half a month, and they can finally relax.
The celebration press conference with a box office of more than 100 million yuan, and then the media also reported a lot, after all, "Red Cliff" is still 400 short of 300 million, and "Jaws: Revenge" is the most concerned movie at this stage.
And Li Qian's final refutation of the media's swagger and advertising were also published by the media.
However, netizens did not pay attention to this.
"Li Qian is embarrassed to say that "Moon" was filmed at the same time as "Jaws, Revenge" and "127 Hours"? Those two movies have been released, and you haven't made a movie yet!"
"It's not a shame, the rookie director who was your assistant made a movie so quickly, and it was all released, and he was still grinding there!"
"Don't say when the "Moon" will be released, and this year will pass if you wait. ”
"Slow down and normal, science fiction movies, there must be a lot of special effects to do. ”
"Fart, a special effect, didn't you say 30 million costs earlier, 30 million can make a hammer special effect. ”
"30 million is okay, this is supposed to be a scene where the actor survives on the moon alone, Huang Bo's salary is not much, unlike Li Lianjie and Liu Dehua, who can't move tens of millions at every turn, and there are no other actors, and it's not like a costume blockbuster where thousands of group actors have been filmed for a few months, and it feels similar. ”
"Absolutely nonsense, I said a long time ago that this is not a real science fiction film, Li Qian must be weak and dare not release it. ”
I think it's normal, Li Qian is the best at making money-saving movies, "Sniper Phone Booth" was filmed in the phone booth, "Jaws" shark also appeared for a minute, saving money for special effects, half of the scenes in "Life and Death Frequency" are at home, the dialogue between two fathers and sons, all are money-saving movies, and "127 Hours" was also filmed by one person in the cracks of the mountain. ”
"Can that be the same? Sci-fi is a sci-fi film, the whole thing is the same as a drama, isn't that just selling dog meat on the head of a sheep." ”
"I see that Li Qian participated in the premiere of those two movies at the end of July, and now he is participating in the celebration press conference, it should have been filmed a long time ago, and it is estimated that the Chinese New Year file will be released. ”
"There are Ma Xiaogang and Cheng Kaige in the Lunar New Year file, didn't they say in an interview before that they would be released in the Lunar New Year file, and Li Qian dared to compete with them?"
"What don't you dare, anyway, I don't watch Brother Cheng Kai's film, "Wuji" wasted me eighty yuan in vain, Brother Cheng Kai has lost his reputation, I am optimistic about Li Qian and Ning Hao. ”
"It seems that Ning Hao's "Crazy Racing" has also been filmed, it is estimated that it is also on the Lunar New Year, and this year's Lunar New Year is enjoyable, there are many films to watch. ”
"How can you squeeze a bunch of releases, you will definitely be separated, or you will have to fight!"
"It's good to fight, watch four or five movies a month, and enjoy watching it!"
......
The audience talked about the upcoming Chinese New Year.
However, the industry is paying attention to Li Qian's "advertisement"
"What is this Li Qian thinking?"
Huang Zhongjun no longer pays attention to Li Qian's affairs, and there are a lot of things to do in Huayang in the next National Day file and Chinese New Year file, and it will be listed at the beginning of next year, and he will be busy with a lot of things.
Which director will invest in other films, if the film wants to make money these years, it will either sell overseas copyrights, or the film and television company itself will have publicity and distribution costs, as well as the invisible benefits that a movie brings to them.
It is better to make money by investing in movies alone, than to buy a house and wait for the price to rise.
If Huayang does not have Ma Xiaogang's stable contribution of one movie a year, it will lose money if it is not good in film and television production, and TV series and artist management are the main source of income.
"He wouldn't want to start his own company. Huang Zhonglei said suddenly.
There is only one possibility, support other directors, and when the opportunity is right, break away from Guangxian and start a company by yourself to be the boss.
However, he added, "Guo Fan seems to have said that he didn't sign a contract with Li Qian's studio." ”
"Do you believe him?"
Huang Zhongjun suddenly found that this younger brother was getting more and more stupid during this time, and it was obvious that Guo Fan was playing tricks on him.
first said that he did not sign a contract with Li Qian's studio, which made him mistakenly think that this was an indirect expression of his willingness to join Huayang, which made Huang Zhonglei happy and happy, and then scolded him again.
"I..."
Huang Zhonglei simply didn't speak, didn't he just mess up two things, and squeezed him if he had nothing to do.
He is the dignified vice president of Huayang, and he doesn't want to lose face!
Huang Zhongjun didn't deliberately squeeze this younger brother, eat a trench, grow wise, I hope he can be more stable in the future.
However, although he guessed that Li Qian might have greater ambitions and wanted to start his own company, he was not worried at all.
"What era is it now, it is no longer possible to support a large company by one person like Zhang Yimou, and the new picture will have to play with eggs sooner or later. ”
"That's right, Zhang Weiping has done things that have offended people over the years, and he won't be able to jump for long. ”
The two smiled quite confidently, Zhang Yimou alone can hold up a new picture, which makes Zhang Weiping so arrogant, because he holds Zhang Yimou's trump card in his hand.
offended all the theaters, and the theaters had to unite to resist the new picture more than once, but they all ended in nothing.
That's no way, really boycott Zhang Yimou's movie, they have to drink the northwest wind for half a year.
Before that, there were only two blockbusters a year in China, and there was an extreme lack of movies, and movie theaters couldn't open for months.
If Zhang Yimou doesn't make movies, the cinema should be in a hurry.
However, the output of movies is increasing every year, including blockbusters, and this year's Chinese New Year stalls are estimated to be a little overwhelmed.
When the number of movies is enough to supply the market, the theater chain that was offended by Zhang Weiping will have been holding back their anger for so many years, and they will all have to take revenge at one time.
What's more, Li Qian is far inferior to Zhang Yimou, how can he afford a company, and how can he get rid of other companies and go it alone.
As for simply supporting newcomers and giving newcomers a chance, as he said.
That's not!
This kind of support program has been carried out in China, but the main purpose is still to make money.
......
Li Qian's search for good projects and investment in films not only makes these film and television companies talk about it, but it is more important than any news for those young directors in the industry who are unambitious, directing students who have just graduated, and even people who are forty or fifty years old and cannot get the opportunity to direct.
In a small restaurant in the capital, a big bald head hurriedly walked in.
"Old Yang. ”
"Brother Zheng, what's the matter with being in such a hurry?"
A young man in the small restaurant who was facing the more bitter man quickly got up and looked at the big bald head who came in with some confusion.
"Haven't you heard?"
The big bald head hurried over, it was so hot, and he was sweating.
poured a big sip of water, almost choked, coughed twice before saying, "Li Qian is soliciting film projects, and our investment has been settled." ”
"Li Qian?"
"As for the director of "Frequency of Life and Death", the hottest director in the past year, at the celebration conference of "Jaws: Revenge" yesterday, he said through the media that he would look for film projects and support new directors. ”
......
Pi Village, Jinzhan Township, Chaoyang District, in a two-story bungalow.
The silence was suddenly shattered by a shouting in one of the studios.
"Lao Tian, quick, find out the script we had before, sort it out, and send it to the mailbox where this is. ”
The young man who was called "Boss Shi, what's wrong?"
"Looking at the news, Li Qian is looking for investment in film projects, and you send the script and planning book to this mailbox. ”
.......
Jingcheng Film Academy.
"Li Qian is looking for a film project!"
"Damn, it's really fake!"
"Here's your chance!"
"The script I've been preparing for two years is finally going to come in handy!"
"Qi Yukun and Guo Fan, two people who have not studied directing, can be favored by Li Qian, and this time the investment in my debut film has landed again!"
......
The same thing happened in many places across the country, not to mention investment, Li Qian's identity as a box office director with 100 million yuan alone is enough to make everyone who is interested in the film industry rush to it.
What's more, Li Qian's two executive directors and assistant directors, the first film was a box office hit.
Li Qian's guidance is definitely indispensable, and if his own project can also be valued, it will be much more useful than a simple investment.
In less than two days, Li Qian received 13 scripts, some of which even brought a plan that was blown to the sky.
In the next three days, I directly received nearly 30 scripts, half of which came with a detailed planning plan.
In the past five days, Li Qian asked Qi Yukun and Guo Fan to screen it, and the projects that both of them passed were directly thrown aside, as long as one person was optimistic, it was left to Li Qian to look at.
In the end, 40 projects and 40 scripts were sent to Li Qian's mailbox, and only 8 copies remained.
Li Qian first looked at them one by one, and directly ignored the plans that were blown out of the sky, and only read the script.
Although the quality of a movie is not determined by the script, it does not mean that the movie script is not important.
After all, storyboards are also written on the basis of the script, and usually the overall plot of a movie is still the same as the original script, and the director will not change this general direction when he creates it for the second time.
Of course, there are also cases where some directors recreate the script, and writing it has little to do with the original script.
It took a little time to read it, and it really made Li Qian gain something.
