my time as a director

In addition, there was a typical negative example in the same period, voted for three superstars, with an investment cost of 2.5 million, it is not certain whether the final box office can break [-] million.

Breaking the rules is of extraordinary significance to major film companies.

After all, the salary of a superstar is too expensive, tens of millions of salary, even Xie Tingfeng's salary alone can hire five or six Chen Kun.

Whether or not a large number of mainland Mesozoic generations can be used to play the leading roles in movies has become the focus of internal discussions among major companies.

And the media is also very lively, besides that, they once again used the sky-high salary in the nomination certificate to flog the corpse.

A salary of 07 million yuan is so scary. In [-], there were only three Chinese-language films with a box office of over [-] million yuan.

Seeing the news about sky-high salary again, Tong Liya asked curiously, "Li Qian, do you think Li Lianjie really got a salary of [-] million yuan?"

"Even if it's less than [-] million, it's almost the same. Li Lianjie is worth the money."

"That's [-] million." Tong Liya clicked her tongue secretly.

"The investors are not stupid. Without Lianjie, this film would not have received 2.5 million investment."

Stuffed to death, starved to death, this is the status quo of the film industry.

Li Lianjie took 1000 million U.S. dollars for shooting heroes, which is almost 8000 million yuan.

In 06, Huo Yuanjia sold 7000 million US dollars worldwide, and the overseas box office alone reached 5700 million US dollars, and the DVD revenue in North America also reached 4000 million US dollars. As the largest investor in the film, this movie brought Li Lianjie 3000 million. million dollars in revenue.

Moreover, in 07, a small-budget film of 2500 million US dollars, Ranger, earned 4000 million US dollars at the global box office, and its DVD revenue in North America was as high as more than 7000 million US dollars.

The salary of [-] million yuan in the mainland is not an exaggeration at all, it can even be called a friendship price.

This ability to make money is comparable to a company by a single person.

If you take [-] million, it would be better if the box office sells well, otherwise, it will be criticized by the media like it is now.

Moreover, the media also made up some news that Chen Kexin criticized Li Lianjie for being too high, and the investors were dissatisfied with Li Lianjie's sky-high salary. At the beginning, they eagerly took the initiative to find Li Lianjie.

I don't know when the Mesozoic actors in the mainland will be able to make their debut. Some time ago, the magical blockbuster Painted Skin led by Ningxia Film Studio still featured Donnie Yen. The total personal salary is only 500 million, which is probably not as good as Donnie Yen's single salary.

However, the assembly number and the frequency of life and death are also a good start. These domestic film and television companies will definitely consider more mainland actors.

......

With the frequency of life and death reaching the top of the sun, it has also become the most popular movie at the moment, and it is not much worse than the assembly number.

The Internet is still extremely popular, and besides the most attractive father-son relationship, the suspense and sci-fi elements of the movie are also exciting. You can see posts discussing the plot on various forums, websites, and post bars.

And as the movie continues to sell well, the audience has more and more questions. At least every time Li Qian is on the road show, there is not enough time to answer the audience's questions.

Continue the road show for a day, and continue to answer some unnutritious questions from the audience.

"Hi Director Li, I would like to ask about the murderer who lost his hand at the end of the movie. Even if he managed to escape 20 years ago, but the police have already got the evidence, why he has not been caught, and he has to wait 20 years to take revenge. And the protagonist’s family doesn’t move, so they aren’t afraid at all?”

Li Qian has already become numb to the questions caused by not taking movies seriously, and he can answer them calmly.

"First of all, for us moviegoers, the two time and space should be synchronized. The murderer 20 years later did not go for revenge. At that time, it was because his son found him and was already suspicious of him. .”

"As for why he didn't move, why wasn't he arrested?"

Li Qian smiled, "Because I'm a screenwriter, I want to write that I didn't move, I didn't get arrested, so I just wrote it."

This answer made the audience couldn't help laughing.

"Director Li, the future should have changed when the killer was exposed 20 years ago. Why hasn't everything changed 20 years later?"

"The killer was exposed but never caught, so he probably killed all six remaining victims."

"However, after the killer escaped from the river 20 years ago, he did not commit a crime. Instead, he went to the protagonist's house to take revenge."

"As I said, from our perspective, the two time periods of this movie are carried out simultaneously. In the end, the murderer 20 years later goes to kill first, and the murderer 20 years ago follows closely to take revenge."

"Taking a step back, even if the murderer 20 years ago made the first move, when he was doing it, the result may be successful or unsuccessful. When the result does not come out, the future will still remain the same. Parents 20 years later It will still not exist, because after the first change, none of them survived, and there is also a process for my father to quit smoking."

"Hi Director Li, I'm a fan of science fiction. I think the movie Frequency of Life and Death is very good, but I have a question. We all saw that the old father was alive in the end. If the father is still alive, the son will not be sad and depressed. His father died, and he used the radio to talk to his father, but if he didn't use the radio to talk to his father, his father would die again, and he wouldn't show up to save him in the end, which is unreasonable."

Li Qian was speechless, and threw out his grandfather's refutation, which was just a fairy tale told by the gimmick of time and space, so why be more serious.

The so-called grandfather argument is that if you go back in time and kill your grandparents before your father was born, but this action will produce a contradictory situation:

You went back in time and killed your young grandfather. If the grandfather died, there would be no father. Without the father, there would be no you. So who killed the grandfather?

Or think of it as: your existence means that your grandfather did not die because of you, so why did you kill your grandfather?

There are so many audiences, and there are too many serious people.

Science fiction has been entangled for so many years, and some people even proposed the banana peel theory on this basis.

That is, when you were about to kill your grandfather, you accidentally stepped on a piece of banana peel, which resulted in hospitalization. If you still want to make a move later, you will also face the interference of this seemingly accidental event, and you will never be able to kill your grandfather.

Looking at the audience staring at him expectantly, Li Qian didn't want to discuss this kind of question like the chicken or the egg with a sci-fi fan.

He nodded, "That's right. It's really unreasonable."

Science fiction fans were surprised when they heard this.

Other viewers also looked at Li Qian expectantly, hoping to hear what he could say.

"Actually, it is unreasonable to talk to someone who was 20 years ago. It is also unreasonable to try to find reason from the unreasonable."

Li Qian smiled and said, "If this kind of space-time film can solve all the arguments, then I won't be standing here, I have to enter the Chinese Academy of Sciences."

The sci-fi fan looked disappointed. He thought he could hear a different explanation from Li Qian.

......

The audience of sci-fi films is always one of the most difficult types to serve, because most sci-fi films themselves are nonsense, and it depends on who can get more and more rounded.

The frequency of life and death can still be justified. If you have to be serious, there is no movie that can't find logical flaws.

"I'm tired of making science fiction films."

After leaving the cinema, Li Qian couldn't help but sighed.

Zhang Hanyu said with a smile, "Director Li is the first domestic director to make a sci-fi film since the new century."

"Barely rubbing against science fiction."

"It's also a sci-fi movie. This genre is a desert in China, and no one else can make it."

Deng Chao also said, "Director Li's next film will be a sci-fi film. If so, it will create a new genre for the domestic film market."
