Chapter 359 Items Picked Up for Nothing

In the last week of December, the competition for the Lunar New Year stalls entered a white-hot state.

However, there are also several new films released, and the last Mou girl Zhou Dongyu starred in a romance film "Tears of a Fallen City".

and after "Carry Love to the End", Xu Jinglei starred again in the romance film "Intimate Enemy".

The two movies also coincidentally starred Li Zhiting, who won the Academy Award for Best New Actor last year for "The Thief of Time".

Obviously, the Xiangjiang film industry is going to praise newcomers, although the two movies have no noise, but there is a lot of news abroad.

If you don't have a little shame, you can just blow the newcomer king of the Chinese film industry.

There is also the biggest highlight of the Chinese New Year file, Li Zhiting fights with himself in the ring.

It's only a matter of time before the two pieces come out in the air.

Boasting, and not embarrassed yourself.

Still fighting in the ring? Is there an audience? Throwing yourself into the ring?

It's an old routine, one is partnered with the girl Zhou Dongyu, and the other is with Xu Jinglei, and the attention has come up all of a sudden, and unknown actors in Xiangjiang have been like this in the past ten years.

Even if he is not famous, as long as his partner is famous, he can rub it, and after the movie is released, his name will rise immediately.

The most successful example is Lin Zhiling.

is not an exception, in the romance film "LOVE" to be released during the Spring Festival, Ruan Jingtian, Zhao Youting, and Peng Yuyan are not partners Zhao Wei and Shu Qi, the two first-line actresses.

The key is that not only Hong Kong and Taiwan filmmakers use this trick, but mainland companies also follow the gourd.

"Di Renjie's Tongtian Empire" Huayang is going to make a sequel, or a prequel, and it is logical to replace the high-paid Liu Dehua.

Last year's National Day file, if it weren't for the assistance given by Tengxun, the airdrop mode was added to his own ace game "CrossFire", and it was basically impossible for "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds" to surpass "Di Renjie".

is close to 300 million at the box office, and the reputation is not bad, even if it is not crushed by "PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds", there is no suspense about the sequel being a big hit.

is bound to be a big seller, and Liu Dehua, who has a high salary, is not so important to Huayang.

After all, Liu Dehua was invited for box office appeal, and now that the sequel has its own appeal, there is no need for it.

By the way, Li Binbin was also replaced, the contract expired, and it was not his own family.

It is rumored that the leading actors were replaced by newcomers Zhao Youting, Feng Shaofeng, Lin Gengxin, and Huang Xiaoming's girlfriend Yang Ying.

Well... is the same as the impression of "Di Renjie's Divine Dragon King".

A number of ways, the sequel to the blockbuster movie is guaranteed, and it is perfect to praise newcomers.

After this movie, Huang Xiaoming's girlfriend is estimated to be the next Lin Zhiling soon, and making stars is as simple as that.

They are all models, and they are all hard to pick up.

......

When the fierce battle for the Chinese New Year was in full swing, Li Qian also held a celebration banquet for "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love".

Originally, it was going to break 600 million on December 5, and the third movie to break 600 million is definitely worth a big deal.

However, Tenghuatao, who was holding his breath in his heart, wanted to wait until it exceeded 670 million, that is, after surpassing "Tangshan Earthquake".

However, the heavens did not fulfill people's wishes, and three blockbusters were released one after another, directly occupying the market.

Four weeks after its release, piracy also came out, fewer and fewer films were scheduled, and the box office plummeted, which Monday in the past only got a total of 27 million box office, and the total box office was fixed at 625 million.

Although he felt that Tenghua was a little disappointed, Li Qian still congratulated him.

"Congratulations to Director Teng. ”

"I would also like to thank Director Li for his support. Teng Huatao and Li Qian touched a cup, obviously not very interested.

In November, "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" swept the film market, with a box office of 56 million on the first day.

originally thought that this first-day box office would break 700 million yuan, but after all, Li Qian's "I Am a Legend" was only more than 40 million on the first day last year, a difference of 10 million.

However, in the face of three blockbusters in the back, the box office was cut in half, and it was still early to 700 million.

Not to mention 700 million, it didn't even exceed the expected "Tangshan Earthquake", otherwise you could slap the Huang brothers in the face.

20 million cost more than 600 million box office, this is still a little disappointing, Li Qian also knows what he is for, and said with a smile, "Huayang Media's total profit last year was only 190 million, and the profit of a movie "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" is so much, a movie has created a year's profit of a listed company with a market value of 10 billion, and there are few people in the entire industry. ”

Saying this, Tenghua Tao was relieved.

Yes, except for Li Qian, there is only himself, a movie has earned Huayang's profit for a year, and when he thinks of this, Teng Huatao doesn't feel much regret.

Seeing that Teng Huatao finally saw it, Li Qian secretly shook his head in his heart, he still has to work part-time as a confidant big sister to enlighten others, which is really troublesome.

The point is that this person is more than ten years older than himself, what is this called?

I also talked to Teng Huatao about the TV series "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love", and I will prepare for next year and ask him to supervise it.

Such a good project, it's a pity not to make a TV series.

After the discussion, Teng Huatao also happily went to accept everyone's congratulations and compliments.

Li Qian turned around and found Xu Zheng, wanting to ask about the creation of the script for the sequel to "People in Embarrassment", the script was prepared last year, and it was interrupted for half a year when filming "I Am Not the God of Medicine".

This has also been three months, and if the script is almost complete, the sequel to the Spring Festival file in 13 will basically be no problem.

However, before Li Qian could speak, Xu Zheng said it first.

"Director Li, the sequel to "People in Embarrassment" may not come out so soon. ”

"Did Brother Zheng encounter any difficulties?" asked Li Qian.

"Not really, mainly because I'm going to make a TV series next year. Xu Zheng said apologetically, "Last year, when I was an old senior of the Modu Drama Academy filmed "The Big Girl Should Marry", he asked me to shoot the sequel "The Big Man Should Get Married", I agreed, and then because "I Am Not the God of Medicine" was delayed again, he has been waiting for me, and I can't push it, they are all old friends." ”

Originally, Xu Zheng's current coffee position is not small, 1.6 billion movie actors, Golden Rooster actors, and 200 million box office directors, it is impossible to shoot TV series.

But the old senior, it has long been said.

Even if the senior understands and doesn't look for him, Xu Zheng himself will definitely have to stop acting, and everyone has been waiting for him for a year.

Filming a TV series?

Xu Zheng said that Li Qian has the impression of this TV series, which is the story of an honest man + good man + middle-aged uncle, and a group of various women, in which Xu Zheng's role is quite likable.

Li Qian also understands the exchange of favors, but he is a little regretful, "Then next year's New Year, our audience will have one less excellent comedy to watch, and this year will have a little less flavor." ”

Xu Zheng didn't want to shoot earlier, if he can be a director, who will be an actor.

One year late, one year later, Li Qian doesn't care.

A plan was postponed here, and then Wu Siyuan came to the door and sent a project, a project about the high-level struggle of the Xiangjiang Police Department.

Listening to Wu Siyuan's general content, Li Qian probably knew that this was "Cold War".

It's okay to invest, but Li Qian still has to ask why.

"Mr. Wu, how did the Hong Kong film find me?"

Why else, it's not that I have fallen in love with you Li Qian, Wu Siyuan thought secretly in his heart, but said with a smile, "These two directors are newcomers, the cost of the movie is not small, 60 million yuan is not so easy to get together, although I have a little spare money, but it is not enough, I want to ask Li to help the two newcomer directors, it is not easy." ”

As he spoke, Wu Siyuan looked like an old-timer and a Bole, worried there, as if he was heartbroken for the Xiangjiang movie.

The cost of 60 million yuan for a rookie director is indeed not so easy in today's Hong Kong films.

Li Qian then asked, "Just now, Mr. Wu seemed to say that the two protagonists invited Guo Fucheng and Liang Jiahui, and also said that Liu Dehua was moved to make a cameo, with this lineup, the cost of 60 million should not be difficult." ”

This lineup, even if it is a rookie director, there will be no problem at all at the cost of 60 million.

It is true that Hong Kong films have declined, but there is never a shortage of capital in the entertainment industry, and those projects that shout that they are unwilling to invest are basically promising.

But where there are some two-point projects, there is never a shortage of investment, and a lot of capital from all walks of life is waving checks, wanting to share the big cake of the film industry.

Belch...

originally wanted to use this lineup to convince Li Qian, but he didn't expect him to throw the problem back to himself.

After several contacts, Wu Siyuan found that Li Qian was not so easy to fool at all, so he simply opened the skylight and said, "Director Li, I'll tell you the truth, this film is what Eucalyptus wants to invest, but it has not been officially determined, and the actors have only negotiated it verbally, and they are using this lineup to talk about sponsorship."

I read the script and felt that this film was promising, it was a rare boutique in recent years, so I had the intention of investing, but the funds were not enough. ”

"I see. Li Qian knew that with the fame of Liu Dehua and Guo Fucheng, he would be able to save an investment.

is similar to "Let the Bullets Fly", Jiang Wen used Zhou Runfa to fool Ge You, turned his head and used Ge Wei to pull Zhou Yanfa here, and then used the names of the three giants to get the investment together.

"However, is there any opinion on the other side of the eucalyptus?" Li Qian asked again.

Wu Siyuan smiled quite smugly, "I also have some influence in the Xiangjiang film industry, Director Li doesn't have to worry about this, and the first to see the script was Andy, he also wanted to invest at the beginning, but he was also cut off by Jiang Zhiqiang, he was embarrassed to fight, I don't have any scruples." ”

"That's okay, I can invest, I will cover all the funding gaps of Mr. Wu. In this case, Li Qian doesn't care, the main thing is that he is too lazy to participate in the infighting between them Xiangjiang filmmakers, if Jiang Zhiqiang was originally to intercept Liu Dehua, then Wu Siyuan has nothing to do with him.

"Without further ado, Director Li will send someone to take a trip to Xiangjiang with me, go to Andy first, let's determine it first, invest 60 million, and then pull the sponsorship as the cost of publicity. Wu Siyuan immediately said.

With Li Qian's investment, Wu Siyuan doesn't care very much about the sponsorship of Wu Siyuan, he believes in Liu Dehua's vision, "Crazy Stone" is a good example.

With Li Qian's investment, he helped promote the movie when it was released, which was basically stable.

Li Qian also had no opinion, called Du Yang, and asked her and Wu Siyuan to go to Xiangjiang.

This time and again, a project was postponed, and another project was picked up in vain, although Hong Kong films have declined, but there is still a potential of two or three hundred million, and it is also a sure profit.

Even if you don't make any money, you can increase your revenue.

Absorbing Wu Siyuan's UME seven cinemas, there is also this benefit, you can invest in high-quality Hong Kong films.
