Chapter 277: The Man Who Dares to Dig Me!

Li Qian joined hands with senior producer Du Yang to establish "Future Pictures" and fully enter the film and television industry!

Li Qian said that although he has established a film and television company, directing is still his first career, and he will shoot more excellent movies in the future, and the new film has begun to enter the preparatory stage!

"Future Films", meaning the future of the film industry, Li Qian leads the new generation of directors, can he take over the inheritance of Chinese films?"

"With an annual box office of 1.5 billion, the film industry will become the most dynamic new army in the film industry in the future. ”

"From director to owner of a film and television company, can Li Qian not forget his original intention?"

......

Although it is only a small company, it has still become a hot topic in entertainment news.

At this time, no new films were released, and in the past four weeks, "I Am Legend" still won 83 million box office, with a total box office of 760 million.

And on the Monday of the fifth week, that is, on the 17th, there are still 6 million in a single day, and 800 million is in sight.

Without the release of new films, the popularity of the stand-alone "I Am Legend" has not stopped, including Li Qian.

opened a company, although it is not something that fans care about, but there is really no new news, and some netizens are talking about it.

"Li Qian has transformed into a capitalist?

"That's right, it's absolutely degenerate, it's 1.3 billion box office when you open your mouth, and now it's opening a company again, and it's corrupted by money!!"

"There's nothing wrong with being your own boss, it's better than working for others, I wanted to fire the boss and start my own business." ”、

"Upstairs, come to the company tomorrow to close the company, in order to prevent being fired by you, I will fire you first. ”

"66666, the boss is still hiring, I am professional in hugging my thighs. ”

"Haha, laughing to death, I was caught by the boss. ”

"Upstairs stupid, obviously joking. ”

"Upstairs stupid, people are kidding. ”

"There are also sand sculptures upstairs, and people are joking. ”

"Upstairs... No nesting dolls!"

"It's normal to start your own business, but I'm afraid that Li Qian will delay making a movie. ”

"Didn't Li Qian say it, the focus is still on making movies, and the new movie will definitely be released this year. ”

"I don't know what he wants to film, and he still wants to break the record of "Avatar", which is really getting more and more appetizing. ”

......

Jinling, the special training base for actors in "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", Zhang Yimou, as an older generation of directors, of course scoffed at Li Qian's saying that their young directors are the future of the film industry.

The glory of their generation of directors has only passed a few years, and they are only in their fifties, far from abdicating.

Even after experiencing the trough of "Three Guns Shooting Surprise", even if Zhang Yimou is older and has a relatively gentle personality, he never thought that letting young people ride on his head is the pride of becoming famous for 20 years.

Just thinking about it, Zhang Weiping pushed the door in with a smile, "Yimou, take a break today, a few CEOs of Minsheng Bank will come over in the afternoon and have a meal together in the evening." ”

Zhang Yimou, who came in just now because Zhang Weiping didn't even knock on the door, was already a little unhappy, and when he heard this, his face became even more ugly.

"I've told you a few times, don't beat their minds. ”

Sensing that Zhang Yimou was angry again, Zhang Weiping hurriedly smiled, "Yimou, people have loaned us 150 million, you have to give some face." ”

"The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" announced an investment of 600 million yuan, and the actual production cost was 200 million, of which 150 million came from a low-interest loan from Minsheng Bank, pledged by the film copyright.

Going to the bank for loans is the norm in every industry, and the film industry is no different, and many blockbuster investments are partly borrowed from banks.

However, the loan of 150 million yuan for a single movie is also a unique large-scale amount.

And it is pledged with film copyright, which means that even if 200 million is lost, Minsheng Bank will pay for it.

It is definitely impossible to lose all of them, as long as there is more than 500 million box office, the loan of Minsheng Bank can be recovered.

Moreover, Minsheng Bank also plans to hold an event at that time, with a cumulative consumption of 2,000 yuan on a credit card, or three single purchases of more than 100 yuan, two movie tickets will be given.

This can be said to be a great support, and it is not difficult to apply for credit cards.

Others have given such great support, and the necessary entertainment must be indispensable, Zhang Yimou also knows this truth, but still insisted, "It's okay for me to toast two glasses of wine, but before the movie is finished, no one is allowed to hit their attention!"

Zhang Weiping's so-called entertainment, how could Zhang Yimou not know it, it was nothing more than asking those girls from special training to accompany them for wine and even spend the night.

Zhang Weiping's face was a little unsightly, and he said disapprenously, "You don't need so many people, I'll just bring a few with me, and what they train is to be a young lady, just to experience life and increase experience, maybe it's good for making movies, and the executives of other banks are here for the women you trained." ”

Hearing such vulgar words coming out of Zhang Weiping, commenting on his actor and the content of the special training he had carefully prepared, Zhang Yimou finally couldn't bear it, and scolded loudly, "Enough!"

"I said, before the movie is finished, don't hit their attention, you can deal with those people yourself!"

After speaking, Zhang Yimou stopped talking nonsense with him, slammed the door and came to the practice room of the actresses' special training, and was being trained by a professional physical etiquette teacher.

"The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling" tells the story of a priest, a group of female students who took refuge in the church and a dusty woman after the destruction of Jinling City, and finally this group of dusty women died instead of the female students.

As the protagonist of the movie, the amorous posture of the woman on the bank of the Qinhuai River is the content of the special training.

Watching this group of girls at the door under the guidance of the physical teacher, wearing tights and making movements one by one, they already had some charm of Qinhuai's famous prostitutes, Zhang Yimou nodded with satisfaction.

Some of these girls will play the despised women in the dust, and they are also the protagonists in "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling".

And "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", that is, after Zhang Yimou failed in "Three Guns", he announced to the outside world that his front wave had not been slapped to death on the beach by the back waves, and he could still flutter.

......

Not only Zhang Yimou, but all the older generation of directors who have become famous are very unhappy with Li Qian's sentence, their young directors represent the future of the industry.

They're not old yet!

Jiang Wen, who just stood up and made money, although he didn't pay so much attention to the box office, it was enough to not lose money, but Jiang Wen had a very high opinion of himself, and no one could get into his eyes, let alone be pressed by the young man, and at this time he was also more energetic, and he was thinking about what to shoot in the next movie.

and Ma Xiaogang, who also ended the propaganda and returned to the capital, saw Li Qian's remarks at the press conference again.

However, Ma Xiaogang also has something to do now, and he has no time to scold Li Qian, which is a major event related to his future in the next seven or eight years.

The contract with Huayang Media has expired a long time ago, and it has not been renewed for a long time, not just to be sold at a price.

Eighty percent of Li Qian's own movies are earned by himself, not to mention a large amount of salary.

On the other hand, looking at his Ma Xiaogang's film, Huayang only took the lion's head.

Since "Tangshan Earthquake", Ma Xiaogang has had an idea in his heart, he can't just get a salary and a little dividend, his own movie, even if he can't get a big head, he can't lose too much.

It's just that the failure of "If You Are Honest Do Not Disturb 2" made him a little uncertain.

However, seeing the news that Li Qian has established a new company today, it made Ma Xiaogang more determined.

He also wants to start a business company and invest in his own films.

......

In fact, the biggest reaction to Li Qian's establishment of a new company is the CEOs of major companies.

Yu Dong gave up contact with Ma Xiaogang, but he never contacted Li Qian.

At this time, Li Qian appeared, but directly announced that his thoughts were shattered.

"Hey!"

In the office, Yu Dong let out a long sigh, "It's cheaper than Du Yang, and I don't know what Li Qian thinks." ”

Fools know that it is hopeless to take over Li Qian's film marketing business, so Li Qian incorporated Du Yang's team and made it clear that he did the publicity for himself.

Zhang Hao, Bernard's distribution director, was also surprised, "I thought he would continue to cooperate with Song Ge, and when he was busy with the promotion of "I Am Legend", Du Yang would also go to Vanda." ”

"The little people under Du Yang, that little connections, can't support him three or four blockbuster movies a year, Li Qian doesn't understand this reason. Yu Dongzhi shook his head, as if he regretted Li Qian's wrong choice.

"yes, and there's no Perfect World resources on the Internet. ”

Zhang Hao's mouth echoed, and suddenly his eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something, and said slowly, "Maybe, they should recruit troops later." ”

Yu Dong shook his head, "Regardless of him, do your own thing, "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" can't run into Li Qian again this year, I heard from China Film yesterday that Li Qian went to see Han Dong a few days ago and chatted for a long time, and it is estimated that his new film is not simple. ”

Regardless of whether Li Qian's threat to break "Avatar" is bragging, anyway, Yu Dong doesn't want to spend a lot of money to build "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" and Li Qian's new film will be released at the same time.

Even if he has absolute confidence in the combination of Xu Ke and Li Lianjie, Li Qian has set a new record after all, and he is about to break 800 million.

"Mr. Zhang, we have to be ready to raise the file, if we can catch up with the summer vacation, we will go on the summer vacation, and if we can't catch up, we will release it on the National Day, and let them compete for the New Year. ”

Yu Dong instructed Zhang Hao, but Zhang Hao seemed to be in a daze.

Seeing that he didn't react, Yu Dong was a little displeased, and he bent his palm ignorantly and lightly buckled it twice on the table.

"Zhang Hao. ”

Now Zhang Hao heard it, came back to his senses, and hurriedly said, "Yu Dong." ”

Yu Dong suppressed the impatience in his heart and repeated it again, "The distribution department is ready to raise the file of "Dragon Gate Flying Armor", go and see the progress of Xu Ke's side, if the summer file can't catch up, try to get on the National Day file as much as possible." ”

"Okay, Yu Dong. Zhang Hao nodded and agreed.

Avoid Li Qian's new film, are you already afraid of it to this extent?

However, in retrospect, many blockbusters have collided with Li Qian's movies in the past two years, and "Mulan" was completely abused by Su Lun's debut "Living Together in Time and Space", which was still the executive director of Li Qian at the time.

Li Qian, Future Pictures, last year's box office of 1.5 billion, thinking of this, Zhang Hao is a headache, they are doing distribution, and the pressure is getting bigger and bigger.

.......

Not only Yu Dong, but also other companies that also wanted to take over the publicity and marketing business in Li Qian's hands before, Wang Changtian, Zhang Zhao, Li Ming and others, were not hopeful, and they also felt huge pressure at this time.

Although it is only a small company, it can't be smaller, and there are not as many people as a department in a large company, but with Li Qian and a few other best-selling directors, it is enough to support a company, and it is a huge threat to any company.

Li Ming, who had just decided on a big project, was in a rare good mood.

He rubbed his head, "Hey, we have to hurry up, there are Huayang and Berner in front, and Wanda and Lay's in the back, this Li Qian himself has opened a company again, and in two years, the competition in the domestic film industry will only become more and more fierce." ”

Zhong Lifang, the general manager of Xiaoma in front of him, also thought deeply, "But Li Dong, the more this time, should we be more cautious, the cost of "Taiping Wheel" is close to 400 million, if there is any problem, I am afraid it will be difficult to do." ”

Wu Yusen's new film "Taiping Wheel" has solved the copyright problem and officially put it on the date, and Li Ming plans to pay half of the cost of 400 million, so Xiaoma has already begun to raise money and raise 200 million cash.

The risk is high, but Li Ming waved his hand quite boldly, "Don't worry, "Taiping Wheel" will be released in two parts, and one will be 200 million, and it will be released in two years, at that time, the box office market is getting bigger and bigger, and 200 million is not a problem for Wu Yusen. ”

Wu Yusen, an international famous director, Li Ming chooses to believe in him unconditionally.

Zhong Lifang still knows her boss very well, a person who has been a soldier, has a straight temperament, and it is not easy to change her mind, so she didn't persuade much.

However, the worry in my heart did not disappear.

"Red Cliff" was released in two parts and made money, because of the Japanese benzene market, and the sightseeing Japanese benzene market contributed 10 billion yen, which is equivalent to more than 600 million yuan.

What about "The Peace Wheel"?

The theme of this film is decided, and the Japanese audience is unlikely to like it.

Without the Japanese benzene ticket warehouse, it is not for the themes of "Three Kingdoms" and "Journey to the West", and it is difficult to say about the rest of Southeast Asia.

can only see whether mainland audiences and European and American audiences will buy the account of "Oriental Titanic".

With such a leader, I don't know if it's good or bad, if Wu Yusen is replaced by Li Qian, with Li Ming's character, then it's no problem, Li Qian is more reliable than Ma Xiaogang now.

However, it is no longer possible.

......

Huayang Media and the Huang brothers also gathered in the chairman's office to watch the video taken by reporters at the press conference.

However, unlike the atmosphere of other companies, Huang Zhonglei smiled a little proudly, "I'll just say, this Li Qian must want to start his own company." ”

Since Li Qian didn't cooperate with Guangxian, they suspected that Li Qian was going to start his own company, and the scene was a little later than expected.

It's just that, although he had expected it, Huang Zhongjun still felt the pressure.

The new company with Li Qian and several directors as the core is enough to pose a huge threat to Huayang.

Relying on a Ma Xiaogang, Huayang went from a small advertising company to this area, and the new picture also relied on Zhang Yimou, and briefly became an industry giant.

So Li Qian, who is more powerful than Ma Xiaogang and Zhang Yimou at the box office, how far can he promote this so-called future film industry?

Huang Zhonglei, who was still smug after looking at it, thought he had seen through everything, Huang Zhongjun was angry with this younger brother, and he didn't do anything serious.

But just as he wanted to speak, there was a knock on the office door, and it was Zhong Shuai, the co-general manager of Huayang's brokerage company and one of the five big brokers, who came in.

"Chairman, Zhong Lei. ”

Zhong Shuai said hello with a smile, and after a few words of greeting, he explained his intention.

"Chairman, I plan to resign and work in a different environment. ”

???

Huang Zhongjun was a little stunned, he didn't expect Zhong Shuai to come to resign.

However, Huayang is already the largest artist agency in China, where can I go if I resign.

However, Huang Zhongjun immediately thought of the only possibility.

Li Qian's future films!

is only possible for this, there are several blockbuster directors, which are a huge attraction to actors, and the only place worthy of Zhong Shuai's resignation.

In just a moment, Huang Zhongjun's mind flashed countless possibilities, and he figured it out at once.

However, the anger that followed immediately rose in his heart, and he rushed directly to his head, and his face was extremely ugly.

Someone who dares to dig me!!!
