Chapter 167: The red-eyed Wang Changtian
"Director Li, where do you think the way out for Chinese films?"
In the hotel room, halfway through the celebration banquet, Han Sanping invited Li Qian to chat alone.
At the beginning, it was such a macro problem, and the leader's speech was different.
didn't quite understand what Han Sanping wanted to say, so Li Qian said his thoughts directly.
"Han Dong, I think that Chinese films, at least we must first hold our own one-third of an acre, not like neon, Nanbang, the entire Southeast Asian region, and Europe, and become the backyard of Hollywood movies. ”
In the world, only the mainland has not been attacked by Hollywood movies, and in general, the proportion of imported films and domestic films is about 5% every year, with a difference of about 5%.
South Korea, neon, and European countries, since the market was completely dominated by Hollywood films, local films have been declining.
When there is no market for local films, it means that the vast majority of domestic films will not make money.
Private film companies don't lose money and make money, taking a step back, even if they want to stick to the front line of cultural resistance, they have to look at their own pockets, and how to persist in losing money for the company's bankruptcy and bankruptcy.
Movies can't make money, and naturally the local film industry will continue to degenerate, let alone have any way out.
Li Qian said that he had his thoughts, but Han Sanping disagreed, and he shook his head quite confidently.
"In recent years, domestic films have occupied most of the mainland market, and the box office champions in six of the seven years are domestic films, and the top four at the box office this year are all domestic films. ”
Then, Han Sanping smiled and said as if you were still young, "We should have our own film industry, big investment, big production, big marketing, we need more and more modern commercial blockbusters, while consolidating the market, we must also open up the market outward." ”
"How about it, Director Li is not interested in making a real sci-fi blockbuster, Poland's magnificent pictures, gorgeous and shocking special effects. ”
Han Sanping said his intention, and came to Li Qian to draw a beautiful blueprint, but Li Qian was a little unexpected.
"Han Dong, with the domestic market and technical level, it is too difficult to make a large-scale sci-fi blockbuster, and there is no experienced behind-the-scenes team, and the hardware and software are too scarce. Li Qian smiled bitterly and shook his head.
I thought it was something, but I wanted to make a blockbuster.
But where is the blockbuster so easy to shoot, all aspects are difficult problems.
"Director Li, don't be so pessimistic. ”
Seeing that Li Qian was so unconfident, Han Sanping secretly shook his head in his heart, didn't they all say that this Li Qian was arrogant and arrogant, why didn't it look like it now.
Before coming, I had carefully figured out the details of Li Qian, as well as his temperament, and he was a little arrogant, but young people were inevitable.
The 24-year-old single film has a box office of 200 million, and he also has arrogant capital,
I'm not afraid that young people are arrogant, but I'm afraid that I'm incapable.
He continued, "The domestic film market is indeed not as good as Mi Lijian, but the overseas market can still make a big difference, in terms of technology, there are not many Hollywood blockbusters handed over to domestic special effects companies to do, and the professional team will go abroad to find ....... if there is no domestic team."
One problem after another was solved in Han Sanping's mouth, as if it was not a big deal in his mouth.
That is, Li Qian, who is only 24 years old, has unlimited potential... No, this can no longer be regarded as a potential, it can be said that he is a super-capable director, Han Sanping is using a deliberative tone.
Dealing with capable people, Han Sanping has never been stingy with Corporal Lixian's superficial skills.
Moreover, although "Moon" is not the sci-fi blockbuster I imagined at the beginning, it is also a real sci-fi film.
The creativity is excellent, even more amazing than the creativity of "Frequency of Life and Death".
Sci-fi films, genius-like creativity and brain holes are of course indispensable, otherwise how to call it sci-fi, they are all fantasies.
Han Sanping has been committed to promoting the commercialization and large-scale of domestic films, and costume blockbusters are a good result.
And Li Qian, a director who can make science fiction films, naturally also made him see hope for another way.
However, Li Qian said a little embarrassedly, "I'm sorry, Han Dong, I don't have the idea of making a big-budget sci-fi film in the short term, and I already have a rough idea in mind for the next movie." ”
Where are these problems so easy to solve, it is true that many Hollywood blockbuster special effects have begun to be subcontracted to domestic companies, but the difference is big.
Outsourcing to domestic companies is just OEM, and they don't know the overall design of the movie at all, and they don't know what kind of movie they will participate in, but they just use software to complete some of the tasks assigned to them with low technical content, which has become a manufacturing industry.
And the level of special effects that need to be provided is different, and the hardware conditions of domestic companies and well-known Hollywood special effects companies are much worse.
It is unrealistic to rely on domestic special effects companies alone, and large-scale productions are still science fiction films with large-scale special effects, and it is absolutely impossible to complete the production in two or three years or one year.
It's better to wait for the technical level to improve and the conditions allow, and then think about this.
It is estimated that it will not take a few years, after all, this is not starting from scratch, the level of special effects in Hollywood and South Korea is ready-made, and there are goals and learning objects, which are much better than studying by yourself.
......
After Han Sanping left, Li Qian shook his head secretly, Han Sanping's starting point must be good, for Chinese movies.
Although he is also a director himself, he became a manager early, and he can only be regarded as a half-professional director, and he doesn't know much about science fiction movies, so many things are really taken for granted.
is also overconfident in the mainland market, since 2004 "Kung Fu", "Ambush on All Sides", and "No Thieves in the World" swept the top three at the box office, there has been an argument in China that Chinese films have regained the territory, and they have been hyped, making many people overly optimistic.
At present, there are those directors who are going back and forth in China, in case something happens to them and suddenly the box office hits the street, then what are they going to fight with Hollywood blockbusters.
The sixth generation of directors is also gangsters in Europe, except for Ning Hao, the new generation of directors is completely broken, but Hollywood blockbusters will not be broken.
has worked hard to make all kinds of blockbusters, as well as co-productions, "The King of Kung Fu" and "Red Cliff" have attracted scolding, and they don't care about it, as long as they can be sold overseas for money.
The road has gone astray, and what China needs now is a hundred flowers, various types of films, and the rise of more young directors.
But this is someone's strategy, and Li Qian didn't say anything, offending people by saying too much.
Back at the banquet site, it's not over yet, but Han Sanping has already left first.
Everyone secretly looked at Li Qian, not knowing what he and Han Sanping had talked about during this time, they were very curious.
Wang Changtian not to mention, as soon as he saw Li Qian coming back, he immediately came over, forcibly held back the curiosity in his heart, and a little worry, and asked very casually.
"Director Li, does Dong Han have any instructions?"
"It's nothing, it's just an exhortation to the younger generation. Li Qian smiled.
"Han Dong doesn't often talk alone with other young directors, it seems that China Film will also support our movies appropriately in the future. ”
The squinting eyes hidden behind the lenses observed Li Qian without a trace, and found nothing abnormal, so Wang Changtian did not continue to ask questions.
Just now, Wang Changtian was worried about what Han Sanping was here for, or did he want to cooperate with Li Qian.
If this is the case, if Li Qian and China Film cooperate, it will be a fatal blow to Guangxian.
Without Li Qian, this year's film business is really unwatchable.
Speaking of "The Moon", Wang Changtian was also very excited to break 200 million in 18 days, but when he remembered that the big head still belonged to Li Qian, he calculated it casually in his heart, according to this box office, Li Qian can earn at least forty or fifty million yuan from such a movie.
And he worked hard, running back and forth, but took a small head.
Wang Changtian's eyes were red, and sometimes he even showed it involuntarily, but he didn't know it.
Li Qian keenly caught Wang Changtian's eyes a little red for a moment, and he was helpless in his heart.
Although since the cooperation, Wang Changtian has always been responsive to Li Qian's requests, and he does not interfere with the movie, and he has never asked to increase the share.
But that's too strange and too deliberate.
Of course, Zhang Zhao once vaguely mentioned it twice, and it must be indispensable to Wang Changtian's instructions.
The two sides cooperate, and if one party earns less, it will naturally envy others, even if Li Qian deserves it.
The movies that can sell at the box office are in his hands, and there are only three or four companies that can do as well as Guangxian in terms of distribution, and Li Qian is the only one in comparison, the most important.
Wang Changtian began to have red eyes, and the red-eyed capitalist is not simple.
Trouble, what the partnership does is not good, and in the end most of them parted ways because of interests.
However, Li Qian didn't think about anything else, the movie is still in theaters, although there is no need to go to the roadshow anymore, but there are still some activities to participate in in the capital.
After the banquet, Li Qian went to Huairou Film and Television Base in the evening, watched Tong Liya, and watched the filming of "Nightclub" by the way.
It was already nine o'clock in the evening when she arrived, and Tong Liya looked at Li Qian at the door with a look of surprise.
"Why are you here so late, didn't you say you'd come tomorrow?"
"It's not late, it's still early. ”
Li Qian smiled, walked into the room, hugged Tong Liya, hooked his foot, and closed the door.
"Mmmm......mmmm
........
I haven't seen each other for half a month, and after some fighting, Tong Liya begged for mercy again and again to calm the war.
"Why did you come here..."
Leaning on Li Qian's arms, Tong Liya did not retreat, and murmured softly.
Li Qian didn't speak, gently rubbing his smooth skin, and after exercising, there was a burst of flushing and fine beads of sweat, adding to the temptation.
