my time as a director

"Who can say for sure, if Zhang Yimou and Ma Xiaogang's films took the majority of their own, and Zhang Weiping and Huang Zhongjun took a small part, see if they can still be so harmonious, they would have fallen out long ago."

People's hearts are unpredictable, even if Li Qian handed over the new movie to any company for distribution, they would not let them participate in the investment, and only get a distribution fee, they would even be happy to spend it, because this is an extra benefit.

And I have collaborated with Wang Changtian twice, or four movies to be precise. If the number of times is too many, it is easy to subconsciously take Li Qian and him as a matter of course, and even regard Li Qian as his person.

As for how to do it and what to do, honestly, Li Qian hasn't figured it out yet.

I originally planned to be a director and make a good film, and then I have so many movies in my mind, and I can also discover some young directors with potential, like Qi Yukun, Guo Fan, Su Lun and the others. I don’t need to write scripts for them, just give them ideas, The script and the storyboard are checked, and I occasionally go to see it during filming.

Domestic directors are really broken. If one day Zhang Yimou and Ma Xiaogang can't keep up with the times, Cheng Long and Li Lianjie are old, and there is no director who can take over, then the domestic market may really be dominated by Hollywood blockbusters.

So annoying.

Tong Liya could see that Li Qian was not in a very high mood, but she couldn't give any advice in this regard, so she could only grin and say, "If you don't cooperate with Guangxian, you won't cooperate. What's the big deal, anyway, there must be many companies that want to cooperate with you It’s a cooperation, and Zhang Yimou can support the new picture by himself, no matter which company you work with, you don’t have to worry about the release of the movie, publicity, etc., and if you really can’t, you can distribute it in theaters yourself.”

"Hey, it's so simple, don't talk about it, and plan what to do in the future after you've been busy for a while."

Annoyed, let's not talk about this topic, and Tong Liya got bored in the room for a while, and then she went to the set.

It took Li Qian two hours before he took a detour to the set.

The whole crew worked hard to film the movie, but when the investors came, they put the heroine to sleep and made the heroine almost late, which is not good after all.

In the studio, the bank robber played by Zhang Jiayi was filming, locking everyone in the refrigerator, speaking with a Shanxi accent, asking about the whereabouts of the diamond.

In addition to Xu Zheng, the supporting roles in the movie "Night Club" are also outstanding. Only characters with distinctive characteristics and their own laughs can support a comedy of more than 90 minutes in a semi-enclosed space.

Li Qian didn't stay here too long. It's not a good thing for investors to appear on the shooting scene, but it will affect them.

He himself does not want other people to criticize his films, and the same is true of other directors.

I had a meal with Tong Liya at noon and went back in the afternoon.

Su Lun's script is almost finished. There is already a semi-finished product, and it will take more than half a month.

The rest of the time will be mainly publicized in the capital. Several portal websites have exclusive interviews, and there are two paper media. The Beijing Normal University has a meeting. After another week of busy work, it will be almost free.

On the Monday that just passed, "Moon" won 330 million box office. Although the single-day box office is less than 500 million, but there are no new films released, it still firmly occupies the single-day box office champion.

Throughout the fourth week, 2600 million was obtained in a single week, and the decline was still stable at around 45.

And other movies, during this hot schedule, also maintained a very good trend.

"Mei Lanfang" is in its third week of release. Although the box office is not good, the momentum is strong. Various literati and scholars are discussing this movie on TV, Internet, and print media.

Word of mouth is still average, neither good nor bad.

More than half a month after it was released, the negative reviews are getting more and more.

Because the theme of "Farewell My Concubine" is somewhat similar, many viewers went there with anticipation.

But there is too much difference between Li Ming and Zhang Guorong's performance on stage.

She is older, taller, and has a bigger face, so her appearance is much worse, especially Yu Ji's appearance, which has been complained about too much, and she also has forehead wrinkles.

In this regard, the crew gave a response, saying that it was caused by inadequate makeup, and the entire modeling department has been fired.

After the filming is over, the crew has been disbanded, and there is no one else who needs to be blamed and fired once.

Brother Cheng Kai is quite a good person, and he especially mentioned to thank Zhong Xintong for his hard work in the film. Because of that incident, all her scenes had to be deleted, leaving only a back view.

The box office in the third week is still very strong, and the trend is similar to that of "Moon". It got 2000 million in a single week, and the total box office in 17 days reached 8640 million, which is expected to break through [-] million. The Ministry of Culture has not lost face.

Xu Ke and Zhou Xun's comedy romance "Women Are Not Bad" is an exaggerated style this time, nonsensical, funny, and a bit blunt. Typical Xiangjiang movies have this kind of market atmosphere in their bones, but this is not what Xu Ke is good at. of.

After the premiere, some viewers said that it was messy and incomprehensible, and the audience's evaluation was not very high.

I also took 950 million last week, and only 500 million are left this week.

Xu Ke's "Looking for a Man in the Deep Sea" in the summer file and "Women Are Not Bad" in the Lunar New Year file hit the street.

Li Qian is still looking forward to Xu Ke making a martial arts film. Although I don’t know who the director is for the "Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate" in my memory, 100% was filmed by Xu Ke. His personal style is too obvious. It is estimated that it will be filmed in the next two years. Because judging by the faces of the actors in it, they are all young.

And Donnie Yen's "Ip Man" has become a dark horse in the New Year's Eve.

It sold 1320 million in the first three days, and sold 2300 million in the second week, and the audience responded very well.

It is too difficult for a regular action movie to maintain this trend in the second week, but the background of "Ip Man" is that era, and the villain is Japanese, which completely mobilized the audience's national sentiment.

The phrase "I want to hit ten" was widely spread on the Internet.

This is the reason why anti-war TV dramas are so popular, and there is no shortage of market even for those that are almost filmed.

According to this momentum, if there is no "If You Are the One" in the future, as long as the trend is stable next week, it is not impossible to break through [-] million.

By the way, there is also an action movie "Spike Fang" directed and acted by Wu Jing, which got close to 200 million last week, and less than 100 million left this week.

A low-budget action movie, although in the end Wu Jing used one against a hundred to save the heroine. The scene was quite exciting, and the ending song "Once Distressed" sung by the heroine was also very nice, but action movies really There is no market left.

The next week, "Moon" was released for the fifth week, with a box office of 1500 million, and the total box office came to 2466 billion.

"Mei Lanfang" is still hitting the 2000 million yuan mark, "Ip Man" will take another [-] million, and the trend is very good, while other movies are completely behind.

"If You Are the One" was also released this week, with 1600 million on the first day, surpassing "Moon" and ranking second at the box office on the first day of the year.

And with the box office of 8000 million in the first weekend, it also replaced "Moon" and swept the middle of the Lunar New Year file.

On January 1st, 1, which was full of disasters and disasters, passed, and the 2008 film market also came to an end.

29、30、31三天里，拿下350万票房，总票房正式突破25亿大关，达到2501亿。

Last year's Chinese box office champion "Assembly" was affected by "Frequency of Life and Death" in the later and final stages. The total box office just broke through 25 billion, which is a few thousand dollars more at the box office.

"Moon" became the fourth Chinese-language movie with a box office of 25 billion, and surpassed "Assembly" to become the No. Golden Armor at the End of the City".

For Li Qian, 2008 can be regarded as a perfect end.

Miaoshuwu

Chapter 169

"2501 billion, "Moon" surpassed "Assembly" and successfully entered the No.3 box office of Chinese film history!"
