Chapter 338: The whimsy of the devil in the rice country
"Director Li. ”
"Congratulations to Director Li. ”
"The box office of 1.6 billion is far more than the 300 million of "Avatar", Director Li is a breath of relief for our Chinese films!"
"I think Director Li's next movie will break at least 2 billion. ”
"My good man, except for Director Li, there is not a single domestic movie of one billion, and Director Li is about to break two billion. ”
......
At the banquet after the press conference, Li Qian accepted the compliments of everyone and coped with them one by one.
Although several major companies did not send people over, there was no shortage of popularity.
More than 10 large media, more than 10 theaters, nearly 10 TV stations, and various entertainment companies of all sizes have gathered.
There are many people, and Li Qian has to deal with them one by one, so he turned around and chatted with the four optoelectronics co-distributed by Huaying about the New Year's file "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" and the release of "The Adventures of Li Xianji".
"Director Li rest assured, for these two films, the schedule of Pacific Cinemas will not be less than 70%!" Sun Ying, vice president of West Sichuan Film Group and general manager of Pacific Cinemas, assured with a smile on his face.
The vice president of Henan Film Group, the vice president of Hubei Yangtze River Film Company, and the general manager of Jiangning Happy Blue Ocean also made package tickets.
There is no need for Li Qian to say this, "Thirty-three Days of Broken Love" has Tong Liya + Wen Zhang, both of whom are one of the most popular actors of the younger generation, and in the face of Liu Yufei + Li Ming's "The Legend of the Hongmen Banquet", there is an absolute chance of winning.
Costume films are declining, Li Mingkong is famous, and Tong Liya has sold two consecutive romance films, and no one will be optimistic about this third part.
The only uncertainty is "The Adventures of Li Xianji" in December, although Guo Fan's "Time Administration" is a big hit, and there are Liu Ye and Zhou Xun, the two most outstanding actors of the Mesozoic Era.
However, the opponent is Zhang Yimou and the combination of Xu Ke + Li Lianjie.
The prestige of the national teacher, from the Minsheng Bank without thinking about giving a low-interest loan of 150 million, it can be seen that this is a new record for the amount of loans for Chinese films.
Xu Ke + Li Lianjie is definitely the perfect martial arts movie combination in the eyes of most audiences, and it also has the advantage of a 3D version.
However, for "I Am Not the God of Medicine", the four of them, as distribution companies, although they jointly distributed with Li Qian's Future Pictures, they also got a distribution fee of 6500 and 15% of the investment share, adding up to 150 million income.
These are not much different from Bai Pickup, just follow Li Qian without a brain.
There are more than a dozen optoelectronic companies in the country, and none of them is more profitable in the film business.
......
"Director Li, Yaya's side we want her to make another TV series, what do you think?"
Hong Tao, general manager of Happy Blue Ocean, pulled Li Qian to talk about Tong Liya again.
"Won't you just give her the script?" Li Qian was a little strange, how could he find himself in this matter.
"Yaya doesn't really want to take on TV series, I talked to her, and she said that she would make one at most in two years and concentrate on making movies. Hong Tao smiled bitterly.
Jiangning TV, a dignified first-line satellite TV, its actors are disgusted, and there are so many star dramas of the female number one, none of them are accepted.
Li Qian is still strange, Tong Liya will not accept if she doesn't take it, only actors have no drama in these years, and there is no star drama that can't find the protagonist.
"Is something happening to Jiangning TV?" Li Qian could only be suspicious.
Hong Tao glanced around and whispered, "There is a rumor from above, someone is going to make a move on Xiangnantai at the end of the year." ”
“????”
What's going on?
Li Qian was still confused.
"If there is no accident, the above will start with the prime-time entertainment program in the evening, and the impact of Shonan Satellite TV will inevitably be the greatest, and the talent show may not be able to do it.
TV stations are going to face a reshuffle, and next year is crucial, so we need a competitive TV series. ”
Hong Tao explained the reason, and it is no secret that basically the top management of major TV stations has received the news.
This time, the above started and gave the major first-line satellite TV a chance to surpass Shonan TV, after all, Shonan TV's main focus is not only TV series, but also various entertainment programs.
Now Li Qian understands that next year will be very important for major TV stations, so the ambitious Jiangning Satellite TV wants to fight hard.
And Tong Liya, who just starred in "Palace Lock Heart Jade" and won the first place in the ratings for almost a month, is the best candidate.
"Mr. Hong waits. ”
Li Qian nodded in understanding, and stretched out his hand to invite Zhang Jun not far away.
"Lao Zhang, how is the script of "Celebrating More Than Years"?"
The screenwriting team and the original author have divided the plot, and the plot outline of the first part has also been sorted out, and the script is being written. Zhang Jun hurriedly said.
"Okay, follow more. ”
"Hey, okay, Director Li. Zhang Jun nodded in response, and left consciously, planning to go back to the company to see how the group of screenwriters were doing.
"Director Li?" Hong Tao was a little strange.
Li Qian smiled, "If Mr. Hong can trust me, I have a TV series here, and if it goes well, filming will start at the end of the year, and it should be in time for next year's summer file." ”
This... Hong Tao is a little embarrassed, it stands to reason that Li Qian has a TV series to sell, and it doesn't matter if they buy it, but next year is too critical, and it's still a summer file.
The TV series is different from the movie, and it was not filmed by Li Qian.
Li Qian saw Hong Tao's doubts and reassured him, "Starring Hu Ge in this drama, I will try to invite Mr. Chen Daoming as well." ”
"Then please Director Li!" Hong Tao replied with a smile on his face, "I naturally believe in Director Li's vision." ”
Hu Ge + Chen Daoming, this lineup is Wang Bang in the TV series.
Chen Daoming is the king, Hu Ge has passed through the male number one in "Time Planning Bureau", and the male number two in "I Am Not the God of Medicine", and it is not an exaggeration to say that he is the king in the TV drama circle.
In this combination, the heroine must also be in the same coffee position, and the other supporting roles will come to the old drama bones again, as long as the script is okay, they will almost go sideways.
As for whether he can handle these two people, Li Qian has spoken, and there must be no problem.
Hong Tao left satisfied, fully achieving his goal.
"Hey. ”
Li Qian sighed, the company has become bigger, there are more involvement, and there are more things, so Li Qian has to participate in person, and he has to guide the screenwriting team when he goes back, and the casting must be done by himself and as soon as possible.
Then he called Hugo and told him.
"No problem, Director Li, I don't have any film appointments for the time being. Hu Ge responded, although he didn't really want to make a TV series, but Li Qian personally spoke, he had no reason to refuse, "Time Planning Bureau" and "I Am Not the God of Medicine", the two movies that made him gain a firm foothold on the big screen, were all given by Li Qian.
"Go back and talk to Mr. Cai, and then have time to read the original book a few times, this drama is a little different from the current romance drama, mainly in terms of power and strategy, it is quite brilliant, and it will not be bad for you. Li Qian said.
Hu Ge, the protagonist of the drama "Celebrating More Than Years", is very suitable, the actor in the original version is simply embarrassed, especially when reciting poems, even if he is drunk, the poems he recites are more outrageous than the other, and the characters are still literature lovers.
TV series is this benefit, in 99% of cases, the script is always greater than the actor, and it is better to have a good script with a third-rate actor than a first-class actor to receive a third-rate script.
After chatting with Hu Ge, Song Ge came over with a girl.
"Congratulations to Director Li, the box office record of 1.6 billion dominates the big screen. Song Ge sighed with emotion, he is very optimistic about the film industry, otherwise he would not give up the perfect time and space with great prospects and devote himself to the film and television industry.
However, Song Ge didn't expect that Li Qian would directly raise the box office record of Chinese movies to 1.6 billion!
1.6 billion, at a cost of 50 million, the net profit can reach 500 million, not counting patch advertising and various copyrights.
A movie has a profit of 500 million, the cycle is only half a year, and the rate of return is as high as 1000%, it is unimaginable, except for illegal trading and lottery tickets, there should be few industries that can compare.
In contrast, the 1 billion funds that Song Ge asked for from Wang Jianlin are nothing, and for Li Qian, it is just a matter of two movies.
Song Ge even doubted whether his decision was wrong, and continued to cooperate with Li Qian, looking much stronger than Wanda.
Shaking his head secretly, leaving these thoughts in his mind behind, Wanda's huge financial support, coupled with the country's No. 1 cinema chain, may not be bad.
"I would also like to thank Mr. Song for his support in scheduling. Li Qian smiled.
This time, several major companies conspired to do things, and Wanda did not participate, otherwise it would be uncomfortable to get stuck on the film schedule, after all, Wanda's movie theaters are all relatively high-end, and the halls are the majority, and the ticket accounts for 15% of the annual share.
"They underestimate Director Li too much, and it's time for the film industry to change. Song Ge shook his head.
Huang Zhongjun approached him at the beginning, but Song Ge refused, they wanted to change Li Qian's strong situation, but Song Ge didn't want to change it, Wanda wanted to become bigger, and it would inevitably encroach on the market share of old big companies such as Huayang and Bernard.
reminisced about the past, and then Song Ge introduced the girl next to him to Li Qian, who was the heroine of "Warring States" Jing Tian, who was scolded a few months ago.
But he didn't say anything, asked Li Qian to take care of her, and took her away after introducing her.
did not become an accomplice of Berner and Huayang, and Song Ge did not mention it to Li Qian before, otherwise it would be as if he was kind to him and asked for benefits.
Even at the premiere, Song Ge didn't say it, and now he just mentioned it casually.
With Li Qian's conduct and the understanding of the previous cooperation, Song Ge knew that Li Qian would definitely admit this feeling, but it was not good to say it directly.
Watching Song Ge take Jingtian away, and introduce them to various companies and TV stations one by one, Li Qian showed a thoughtful look.
has a big background, even if you praise it, the CEO of Song Getang's company is still working so hard.
......
"Director Li. ”
The banquet was almost over, Du Yang came over, "Warner's people have arrived, waiting for you in the upstairs suite." ”
Li Qian turned his head and asked, "Are you really here?" weren't they joking before?"
"I confirmed, they really weren't kidding, they came with people from Legendary Pictures. ”
"What kind of medicine is sold in the gourd of rice grains and devils?"
"I don't know, but it's good for us. Although Du Yang was also very strange, his eyes were shining at this time.
"Forget it, you'll find out when you meet. Li Qian shook his head.
Before he asked Du Yang to talk to major Hollywood companies about the overseas copyright of "Jaws 3", although the movie has not yet been filmed, but the previous two films in North America alone made Colombia net tens of millions of dollars, and the third film can be sold at a high price with his eyes closed.
Major companies have also opened prices, from several million US dollars to 30 million US dollars overseas full copyright buyout, nearly 200 million yuan.
However, Warner has another idea, which is to collaborate on several co-productions with Li Qian.
It's not surprising that co-productions are too low, and many Hollywood films operate co-productions.
It's strange that Warner wants to cooperate deeply, not only to operate co-productions, but also to export Hollywood blockbusters to China, all of which make Li Qian a producer.
That's right, for the sake of the domestic market, Warner's films exported to China want to be promoted in the name of Li Qian.
"Are they crazy or stupid?"
Li Qian walked out of the banquet hall and secretly thought that this group of rice grain jian devils was really whimsical.
