my time as a director

However, this clearly disrespected him.

Then see the real chapter after the New Year!

This year's Lunar New Year, Bernard has two blockbuster films, The Siege of October and Mulan released. The investment of the former is as high as [-] million, and a large number of stars starred in it.

Yu Dong still has enough confidence in the siege of the city in October. Even if Zhang Yimou's new film is scheduled for the Lunar New Year, he has no thought of changing the schedule.

Although Hua Mulan's investment is less than [-] million yuan, last year's Huapi starring Zhao Wei and Chen Kun sold for [-] million yuan, which can definitely carry a blockbuster movie.

In addition, Hua Mulan is a well-known figure to the audience, so there is no need to worry about popularity, and Yu Dong has high hopes for it.

"By the way, is Cohabitation Over Time and Space, which Li Qian previously supervised, scheduled for the Lunar New Year?" Yu Dong asked Xiang Zhang Hao.

"I don't know, but it's been half a month since the filming started, so it should be on the Lunar New Year holiday." Zhang Hao replied.

Yu Dong nodded. Siege in October will be released in December, and Mulan will be released in November. Yu Dong is very ambitious about this year's Lunar New Year.

It doesn't matter if cohabitation in time and space doesn't come in November, if it comes, let Li Qian see it, because his fame alone is limited after all, and it can't be compared with the big productions of big companies.

Otherwise, if he shoots one movie a year and then supervises two or three movies, wouldn't he take up all the good schedules throughout the year.

......

Stubborn Carrot became a farce because of Bernard's self-assessment to use Li Qian's name for publicity.

Although it only took half a day, Xin Lang wished that there would be more topics on Weibo, so he reported this incident one after another on Xin Lang News.

It was a joke, which affected the film's reputation to some extent, and also made Huang Zhongjun, Wang Changtian and the others watch a scene.

Li Qian didn't catch him either, he was quite easy to talk to, if he didn't want to use his own name, it would be fine if he smashed his name.

Now that the perfect world has been announced, Wu Jing's PlayerUnknown's Battlegrounds script hasn't come out yet, and Xu Zheng can only start producing after he's been busy for a while, and he has nothing else to do.

Continue to concentrate on writing your own storyboard.

But within a few days, when Transformers 24 was released on the 2th, it shocked the entire film industry.

3300 million on the first day and 1.61 million on the first five days.

The sequel to the 07 Hollywood blockbuster, which earned 2.8 million yuan, made all filmmakers dumbfounded at the box office.

This data directly broke all the current first-day, single-day, and first-week box office records.

It's not a little bit over the top, jumping directly from 2700 million on the first day of Chibi to 3300 million.

Moreover, it got 5 million in 1.6 days, basically breaking the box office record of Titanic in mainland film history is also stable.

In the second week, I got another 1.3 million, and I got 11 million in 2.91 days, which is simply shocking.

In the third week, there were still 7000 million box office, and the trend was as stable as a dog. 3.61 million has already surpassed the box office record in mainland film history created by Titanic.

......

In mid-July, the perfect world has already launched in Yundian. The news of the new film has been announced on Weibo before. Li Qian didn't even hold the launch conference. He just took some photos after the opening ceremony and uploaded them to Weibo.

It's quite convenient and saves trouble. Anyway, the purpose has been achieved, just to announce the start of filming and warm up.

As soon as I started the machine today, I learned that Transformers 2 broke the box office record of Titanic, which made Li Qian sigh.

"I didn't expect that after 11 years, it would be a Hollywood blockbuster that broke the record."

Executive director Wen Muye said solemnly, "There is still a big gap between domestic films and Hollywood, and this is inevitable."

The gap is indeed quite large. After all, Hollywood movies have a history of many years, and China has just entered the era of commercial movies.

However, Xu Zheng has a different opinion, "In fact, this is only one aspect."

This is one aspect, and there must be another aspect.

Wen Muye asked curiously, "Mr. Xu, what are you talking about?"

"It's still a matter of the audience's concept of watching movies. Except for a few directors like Director Li, they don't trust the films of other directors. Instead, they are Hollywood blockbusters. There is a kind of blind worship. Any Hollywood blockbuster can be sold. High box office." Xu Zheng said.

"This is also one aspect."

Li Qian nodded, "These Hollywood movies that can be screened in China are selected from hundreds of movies. Movies are better."

"However, Brother Zheng, you said that the audience doesn't trust domestic films. It's not that they don't trust them. It's just that many films are niche. Even if the quality of the film is high, the audience is not large, and there are no big directors or superstars. Naturally, There won’t be many audiences, and Hollywood blockbusters will have a much wider audience.”

"Director Li, can you explain in detail?"

Xu Zheng immediately became interested. As a vulgar literary youth, he is quite a director. He makes good movies, wants to make movies he wants to make, and wants to make money.

As the director whose two films in a row have exceeded [-] million yuan, Li Qian's views on the market are undoubtedly worth listening to.

"How should I put it? In fact, you watch our domestic movies. There are many movies with good reputation and good box office, but the audience is not wide enough."

Li Qian thought for a while and said, "Let me give you the most obvious example. Action movies are considered a minority in China. As a result, Ye Wen's box office almost exceeded [-] million at the Lunar New Year file last year when the competition was so fierce. What do you think is the most important thing?" What is the reason, or what is the most important factor for the success of this movie?"

Throwing the question to them, both of them were in deep thought.

They really haven't thought about this question. After all, they care more about the moon, If You Are the One, and Mei Lanfang than this action movie.

Xu Zheng thought about it for a while, and suddenly he had a flash of inspiration, "The role of Ip Man is different from the male protagonists in many domestic action movies. He is no longer the kind of reckless guy who fights and kills. He is a martial arts master, steady and gentle. With the air of a master, the style is a higher level, a bit like Li Lianjie's Huang Feihong."

"That counts."

Li Qian nodded, and looked at Wen Muye again.

Wen Muye first expressed his agreement with what Xu Zheng said, and then said his own thoughts, "I think Ip Man is not a simple action movie. The core of this movie is not fighting scenes, but focuses on telling stories and telling stories. people.

Director Ye Weixin established Ye Wen as a good man.Most of the time, Ip Man is at the edge of the picture, neither arrogant nor deliberately prominent, making people feel calm and gentle, especially Jin Shanzhao's sharp contrast, most of Jin Shanzhao's shots are moving, rising and falling, The rapid push and pull clearly showed his irritable and rude character, while Ip Man was the opposite.

There is also the translator Li Zhao, who looked like a traitor at first, but slowly discovered that he has been helping Ye Wen and the people, even if he hadn’t changed some of Ye Wen’s words during the translation, Ye Wen might have been in the middle of the translation. Sand sculptured by the Japanese people. "

Wen Muye analyzed several main characters in the movie and the overall narrative, but he still didn't get to the core.

Li Qian smiled and said, "What you said is the breakthrough of Ip Man's action movie, but the core thing is actually very simple. This is an anti-Japanese movie. Li Zhao, these seemingly bad guys, were fought by the actor Ip Man, and they dealt with Japanese people in the end. To put it bluntly, this movie touched our patriotic feelings in our hearts."

The two looked at each other in blank dismay. When Ip Man was released, the words patriotism often appeared in the mouths of news and professional film critics.

But as professional filmmakers, even if they haven't directed a movie, they have never attributed the success of the movie to such simple words, which is too tacky.

The narrative, character creation, camera control of the film... These are the things they study.

Li Qian also understands their thoughts, he continued, "It seems that the country really doesn't pay attention to the emotions in movies, but as long as Hollywood is a real commercial movie, no matter what type, most of them will have an emotional main line.

Like the disaster movie The Day After Tomorrow, the male protagonist’s son goes to New York to find a girlfriend alone in the face of natural disasters, and the male protagonist also goes to New York to save his son after going through many dangers. The goal of this line is to save his relatives.
