"Han Dong, do you mean that I am alone and squeezing the living space of several major companies, including Huayang and Berna?"

Li Qian seemed to have heard some big joke.

Han Sanping was not annoyed, and said with a smile, "Director Li misunderstood, of course he didn't mean that, but last year's Lunar New Year, the three movies you personally shot and supervised spanned the entire Lunar New Year, but other companies suffered a lot, and the box office was not as expected." ”

That's right, "Mulan", "Thorn Tomb", and "Fengyun 2" have not had a high cost at the box office, and "Three Guns" and "October Siege" are all not as expected.

But what does it have to do with me?

Other people's films can't sell at the box office, and the audience is unwilling to spend money to enter the cinema, so do you blame him?

Could it be that he pointed a gun at the audience and forbade them to see it!

Li Qian really had trouble understanding Han Sanping's brain circuit, but he didn't want to dwell on this topic with him.

"Han Dong, what do you mean?"

"In fact, you can cooperate with each other, avoid some unnecessary competition, shoot a few movies at once, you can completely absorb the resources of other companies, it is a win-win choice, and after cooperating with each other, you don't have to squeeze a bunch of schedules, you can negotiate it, and you can't get any benefits, it's your loss, and it's also the loss of the Chinese film market." ”

"Cooperation?"

Li Qian smiled again, "Dong Han, I am not a person who eats alone, the four provinces of Jiangning, western Sichuan, northern Hubei and southern Henan have all participated in the investment of my films. ”

"Hehe, Director Li misunderstood. ”

Han Sanping smiled, "In the past ten years, it has not been easy for Chinese films to get to where they are today, I just don't want domestic films to kill each other, cooperate with each other, and mutual benefit is the right way." ”

Last year's five-month-long Chinese New Year, a number of domestic blockbusters all ended miserably.

Except for "Three Guns", no costume blockbuster can recover its cost with the domestic box office, and even if it sells various copyrights at home and abroad, there are only a few that can recover the cost.

Han Sanping has a blockbuster complex and ambition, and the blockbuster plan is also his top priority for reviving Chinese films.

In the past few years, everything has been smooth, and all costume blockbusters have topped the annual box office list.

But in the past two years, the costume blockbuster didn't know what was wrong, and suddenly it didn't work.

Last year's Lunar New Year stalls were even more obvious, and from November to March this year, almost all of them were wiped out.

The competition is too great.

In November, "2012" was born, and there was also a big dark horse "Living Together in Time and Space".

Not to mention December, "Perfect World" dominated the entire December film market.

met "Avatar" in January, and "People in Embarrassment" sold 200 million in February, and even "Big Soldier" and "Jinyiwei" are not opponents.

In addition to "Avatar", a number of domestic costume blockbusters are all folded in Li Qian's hands.

Li Qian almost understood, and still blamed the failure of several domestic blockbusters in the Chinese New Year file on the success of his own movies, and was ready to persuade himself not to squeeze in another pile in the second half of the year.

I really don't understand why Han Sanping is so blindly obsessed with blockbusters.

"Han Dong, every era should have the characteristics of each era, the characteristics of domestic films in the past ten years are costume blockbusters, but in the new decade, the market and audience tastes have changed, we should not blindly believe in blockbusters, but to discover more new directors.

Our audience is getting younger and younger, only directors with newer and younger thinking and creativity can keep up with the pace of the audience, Su Lun's "Living Together in Time and Space" and Xu Zheng's "People in Embarrassment" are the genres that have never been seen in China, very creative, plot-based, this is a movie that the new generation of audiences want to see, not a costume blockbuster at dusk yesterday, not many people like it. ”

Hearing Li Qian directly deny the costume blockbuster, Han Sanping's face was a little unsightly.

Han Sanping went to Hollywood more than ten years ago, saw the set of Disney and Warner with his own eyes, and watched the shooting of modern and industrialized Hollywood blockbusters, all of which hit his eyes and made him feel sad and tragic.

It was from then that I had the dream of blockbusters, wanting to achieve the revival of domestic films through costume blockbusters.

Even if the costume blockbusters have failed one after another in the past two years, he has not given up this idea, and he is not to blame Li Qian, but he just wants to let various companies discuss the schedule of the Chinese New Year in the future, and try to stagger the release time, don't do the same as last year's New Year, five big productions will be released in 15 days.

Yu Dong, Huang Zhongjun, and Han Sanping also chatted, and then found Li Qian, after all, Li Qian now has four movies in his hands.

However, I didn't get angry, on the contrary, I have always admired Li Qian, but it's a pity that Li Qian doesn't want to make blockbusters.

Young people, with a lot of ideas and impulsiveness.

Don't dwell on this, but asked.

"How many movies will Director Li release for the Chinese New Year this year?"

"One in November and one in December, and I don't want to squeeze them all together. Li Qian said.

Han Sanping nodded, "Then I only have one request, you try to stagger the release time, and when the time comes, I will help you coordinate together, and strive for no one to be affected." ”

"No problem, of course everyone is happy. ”

Li Qian has no opinion, whoever is weak is reasonable.

At the beginning, "Golden Armor" was so domineering, and I didn't see Han Sanping to help "Wounded City", just protecting the costume blockbuster, I was really fascinated by the costume blockbuster.

has been talking for a long time, from the current situation of domestic films to the future of the industry.

"Han Dong, I still say the same thing, the future of Chinese films belongs to the new generation of directors, whether it is an academic school like Su Lun or a wild person like Xu Zheng, they can be closer to the audience's thoughts. ”

Finally, after speaking, Li Qian also left.

"A new generation of directors?"

Han Sanping shook his head secretly, where is the talented newcomer so easy to find, Lu Chuan is disappointing, Ning Hao's "No Man's Land" happened to the West Xinjiang again, and it is impossible to release it within a year or two.

It's not that he doesn't believe in rookie directors, if Li Qian wants to make a blockbuster, even if it's hard sci-fi, the investment will be three or four hundred million, and Han Sanping will be able to make it up for him immediately.

But Li Qian doesn't shoot again, and there are a few other new directors who can be reassured.

......

The next day, Li Qian attended the forums and conferences of the two film festivals, so he didn't join in the excitement.

The positioning of the Magic City Film Festival is an international A-category film festival, for the sake of the word international, award-winning films must be indispensable overseas films, and mainland commercial films have almost no chance.

This has led to the fact that domestic audiences and filmmakers are not interested in this, and they can't watch really good foreign movies.

Even every year, the organizing committee warmly invites foreign films to participate in the exhibition, just like catching up.

Li Qian didn't go to the award ceremony nine days later, and he wouldn't win the award anyway.

Of the 10 awards in the main competition unit, 6 foreign films were won, and the actors, actresses, and best films were all foreign.

Asian newcomer unit, two in the South Stick, one in the Philippines, and one in China.

It's not very interesting, there are few domestic reports, except for senior fans, ordinary audiences don't care at all, it's better to have been released for half a month "Ip Man 2".

"Ip Man" was a big hit at the box office the year before last, and its popularity and popularity reached its peak.

This second part broke 100 million in the first six days, 170 million in two weeks, and it is bound to break 200 million.

An action movie with a box office of 200 million has set a new record.

The response is slightly worse than the first part, the first part plays neon people, and the second part makes the British not so cool.

But it is definitely a masterpiece in action movies, there are not many complaints, but some people complain about Bruce Lee played by Huang Xiaoming, saying that Donnie Yen plays Ip Man alone in "Ip Man 2", and Huang Xiaoming is responsible for 2.

Two days ago, Ye Weixin also had a war of words with Jay Chou's agency, after the fiasco of "Thorn Tomb" and "Su Qier", Jay Chou was put on the hat of box office poison, but when "Ip Man 2" was in preparation, the choice of the role of Bruce Lee, Ye Weixin deliberately said that he might find Jay Chou in order to promote the movie.

But after the release, in the face of the next question, he said that it proved that he was very lucky, and it would be miserable if Jay Chou agreed.

Chiguo satirizes Jay Chou's box office poison.

Jewell Music, of course, couldn't bear it, and immediately responded that they didn't know Ye Weixin at all, and about Jay Chou would make another movie, and talked about "The Green Hornet", which will be released early next year.

After a war of words, Jewell still can't do the box office hit "Ip Man 2" audience, and even some extreme viewers say that Jay Chou is the most suitable for acting in that kind of discordant film.

That's how it is on the Internet, when you are proud, you will be praised to the sky, and when you are frustrated, you will endure ridicule from all sides, and the media will hype it again, and the hat of box office poison will be realized.

In mid-May, "Kung Fu Dream" starring Cheng Long was also released.

It was originally planned to be in June, but this year is the World Cup, and in order to avoid the edge for the time being, it was raised.

With an investment of $25 million, it is an absolute big production, and it is still Cheng Long's action movie, which has attracted wide attention before its release.

However, the box office of 17 million in four days was stunned.

This box office is definitely hitting the streets.

Five years ago, the president of Colombia visited the mainland and talked about Hollywood's most popular actor, Will Smith, and Han Sanping wanted to invite him to star in a domestic movie.

The combination of Chinese and Western, Sino-American co-production, and the cooperation between the two superstars of the East and the West are all gimmicks, not only in the domestic market, but also to promote oriental culture overseas.

But Wellsmith wasn't interested at all, and he didn't even think about it.

However, Han Sanping never gave up, and in the end, Will Smith didn't shoot it himself, and let his son shoot it.

Finally, there is "Kung Fu Dream", a Sino-American co-production blockbuster adapted from the 1984 Hollywood film "Longwei Kid".

Originally, it would not be available until the second half of this year, after all, Cheng Long had two movies at the same time, "Agent Next Door" and "Big Soldier".

However, Uncle Long is Uncle Long, there is no black in this aspect of dedication, and three films will be released in four months, which can be called a model worker.

Unfortunately, the hope of expecting Hollywood superstars to drive the domestic market has been dashed, and it is nonsense to promote Chinese culture.

It's just a Hollywood movie made in China, this is not a cultural export, this is actually exported, that is, imported.

A Mi Lijian child has learned a technique to defeat his opponent through hard work, which is the spirit of Mi Lijian, and the Chinese people in it are still the same as they were decades ago, either vague or indifferent and ruthless.

The villain kid, when he sees someone, he is bitter and hateful, and his eyebrows are cold, and his expression is very close to the facial HWB,

The slogan that Yu Rongguang taught his apprentices in the martial arts hall was never soft-hearted, never soft-hearted, etc., and it was impossible for domestic martial arts schools to teach such concepts.

And this kind of indifferent, cruel, violent, and aggressive character is probably Director Mi Lijian's understanding of the Chinese people.

In fact, it's not that I don't talk about these, this rotten story that can't be vulgar anymore will not be liked by domestic audiences, not to mention that the actor is a little black.

is a Hollywood movie made in China, the same vulgar story, even if it is a remake, but the background is changed to China and replaced with Chinese kung fu, and the audience in the United States will not feel vulgar.

$50 million in the first weekend, North America exploded.

However, the overseas box office has nothing to do with China Film, which only went out of the venue and assisted in filming, invested five million US dollars, and won the domestic box office.

......

"The people of the United States can't save the Chinese movie. ”

On a new day, watching this co-production drop of more than 50%, Li Qian shook his head.

It's a pity that this film was not released a month earlier, otherwise Li Qian wanted to say this sentence to Han Sanping in person that day.

and "The Thirteen Hairpins of Jinling", I don't know which director made it, thinking that inviting Christian Bale would make the audience buy it.

It won't be Han Sanping.

Forget it, don't think about it so much, you'll know when the time comes.

"Let's go, go to the Oriental Pearl Tower, filming will start in two days, and the layout will start tomorrow, and the Chinese film will have to rely on itself." ”

Saying hello, Li Qian rushed to the Oriental Pearl TV Tower with executive director Wen Muye, director of photography Zhang Zhonghua, and the special effects director sent by the special effects company.

Start shooting the day after tomorrow, shoot the exterior first, and then go to the studio.

Most of the special effects are needed on location, and in the lonely, barren metropolis, that effect is very important.

Several aerial photography teams began to travel to all corners of the city, looking for suitable shooting locations, shooting materials first, and slowly working on them for special effects companies.

Came to the Oriental Pearl TV Tower, chatted with the management staff, and has been notified to the outside that this place around the bottom will be temporarily closed for two days, of course, it is impossible in the tower, and you can only go to the scene in the early morning.

And the main road outside will be temporarily closed for two or three hours in the early morning.

The public has been notified, and the set team is also busy, and when the time comes, we have to plant waist-high wild grass in this square and on the main road, and find a suitable place to put some scrapped cars.

There are also many tourists and passers-by at the scene, watching a large group of people busy working, writing and drawing, taking pictures, measuring, and the notice just released, all of them know that some crews are going to temporarily block the filming around the TV tower, and they can't help whispering, filming is a fun thing.

"Which crew is this, I don't know if I want to perform in a group. ”

"Are there any big stars? ”

"The Oriental Pearl TV Tower has been sealed, and it is estimated that it is not small. ”

"When I passed the Nanpu Bridge this morning, it seemed to be said on the radio that it would be temporarily closed late at night in the early morning, wouldn't it also be filming?"

"No, which crew is so powerful, the Nanpu Bridge has been sealed, so why don't you go to seal Tiananmen Square. ”

"I'll go, isn't that Li Qian?"

"Who, where?"

"Where is Li Qian, let me take a look?"

"Damn, it's really Li Qian!"

"Li Qian's new film is going to be filmed in the magic capital?"

"Isn't it a post-apocalyptic science fiction film, could it be that the background is in the magic capital, and you want to turn the magic capital into the end of the world?"
