my time as a director

After all, Liu Dehua was invited for box office appeal, and now that the sequel has its own appeal, there is no need for it.

By the way, Li Binbin was also replaced. The contract has expired, so he is no longer in his family.

According to rumors, the leading actors were replaced by newcomers Zhao Youting, Feng Shaofeng, Lin Gengxin, and Huang Xiaoming's girlfriend Yang Ying.

Well, it's the same as the Dragon King, the god of Di Renjie in my impression.

One way, the sequel to the big-selling movie is guaranteed, and it's perfect for newcomers.

After this movie, Huang Xiaoming's girlfriend may soon be the next Lin Zhiling, making a star is as simple as that.

They are all models, and they are all pushed up.

When the Lunar New Year file was in full swing, Li Qian also held a celebration banquet for the 33-day breakup.

Originally, it was going to break 12 million on December 5th, and the third movie that broke [-] million is definitely worth a big deal.

However, Teng Huatao, who was holding a breath in his heart, wanted to wait until it exceeded 67 billion, that is, after the Tangshan earthquake.

However, people's wishes failed, and three blockbuster films were released one after another, directly occupying the market.

Four weeks after the release, pirated copies also came out. There were fewer and fewer films, and the box office plummeted. In the past, it only got a total of 2700 million box office on a Monday, and the total box office was fixed at 625 billion.

Although he felt that Teng Hua was a little disappointed, Li Qian still congratulated him.

"Congratulations, Director Teng."

"I would also like to thank Director Li for his support." Teng Huatao and Li Qian had a drink, obviously not very interested.

In November, Lovelorn swept the film market for 33 days, with a box office of 5600 million on the first day.

I originally thought that breaking 4000 million at the box office on the first day was a sure thing. After all, the first day of Li Qian’s I Am Legend last year was only more than 1000 million, a difference of [-] million.

However, in the face of three blockbuster films later, the box office was cut in half, and it was still early from [-] million.

Not to mention [-] million, even the expected Tangshan earthquake did not exceed, otherwise the Huang family brothers could be slapped in the face severely.

2000 million cost more than 6 million at the box office, which was a bit disappointing. Li Qian also knew why, and said with a smile, "Huayang Media's total profit last year was only 19 billion, and the profit of a movie in 33 days of Broken Love was [-] million." After so much, one movie has created a yearly profit of a listed company with a market value of tens of billions, and looking at the entire industry, there are not many people."

Having said that, Teng Huatao felt relieved.

That's right, apart from Li Qian, he was the only one left. A movie made Huayang's profit for a year. Thinking of this, Teng Huatao didn't feel much regret.

Seeing that Teng Huatao finally looked away, Li Qian secretly shook his head in his heart. It is really troublesome for him to work part-time as a confidant big sister to enlighten others.

The key is that this person is more than ten years older than himself, what is this called.

I also talked to Teng Huatao about the 33 Days of Broken Relationship TV series. I will prepare it next year and ask him to supervise it.

Such a good project, it's a pity not to make a TV series.

After the discussion, Teng Huatao happily went to accept everyone's congratulations and compliments.

Li Qian turned around and found Xu Zheng, wanting to ask about the creation of the script for the sequel of Journey to Journey. The script was prepared last year, and the filming of I am not the God of Medicine was interrupted for half a year.

Three months have passed, and if the script is almost finished, there will basically be no problem for the sequel to be released during the Spring Festival in 13.

However, before Li Qian could speak, Xu Zheng spoke first.

"Director Li, the sequel to Journey to Journey may not come out so soon."

"Did Brother Zheng encounter any difficulties?" Li Qian asked.

"That's not true, the main reason is that I'm going to make a TV series next year." Xu Zheng said apologetically, "Last year, when I was an old senior from the Shanghai Academy of Drama, I made a film about a big girl getting married, and he asked me to make a sequel. The big man is getting married, I agreed, but later because I am not the god of medicine, he was delayed, and he has been waiting for me, so I can't push it anymore, we are old friends."

Originally, Xu Zheng's status is not small now. It is impossible for him to be a movie actor with 16 billion yuan, a golden rooster actor, and a director with a box office of [-] million yuan.

But the old senior, it was already agreed.

Even if the senior understands and doesn't look for him anymore, Xu Zheng himself must have to act. They have been waiting for him for a year.

Filming a TV series?

The TV series Xu Zheng talked about Li Qian has the impression that it is a story about an honest and kind middle-aged uncle and a group of various women. The role of Xu Zheng in it is quite lovable.

Li Qian also understands the human relationship, but he is a little regretful, "Then next year's Chinese New Year, our audience will have one less excellent comedy to watch, this year is a little less flavorful."

Why didn't Xu Zheng want to shoot earlier? If he could be a director, who would be an actor?

A year later, maybe a year later, Li Qian doesn't care.

A plan here was postponed, and then Wu Siyuan came to the door and sent a project, a project about the high-level struggle of the Xiangjiang Police Department.

After listening to Wu Siyuan's general content, Li Qian probably knew it. Isn't this just a chill.

Investment is fine, but Li Qian still needs to ask why,

"Mr. Wu, how did Hong Kong movies find me?"

Could it be why? Didn’t he fall in love with the word Li Qian? Wu Siyuan thought to himself, but he smiled and said, “These two directors are newcomers, and the cost of the film is not small. 6000 million yuan is not so easy. To make it all together, although I have some spare money, it's not enough, so I want to ask Director Li to help two new directors, it's not easy."

As he talked, Wu Siyuan looked like an old senior and Bole, worried there, as if he was worried about Xiangjiang Films.

A new director, with a cost of 6000 million yuan, is indeed not that easy in today's declining Hong Kong film landscape.

However, Li Qian continued to ask, "Mr. Wu seems to have said just now that the two protagonists invited Guo Fucheng and Liang Jiahui, and also persuaded Liu Dehua to come as a guest star. With this lineup, the cost of 6000 million should not be difficult."

With this lineup, even if it is a new director, the cost of 6000 million will not be a problem at all.

It is true that Hong Kong movies have declined, but the entertainment industry has never been short of capital, and those projects that they say they are not willing to invest in are basically hopeless at first glance.

As long as there are some two-point projects, there is never a lack of investment. All walks of life are waving checks with a lot of capital, wanting to share the big cake of the film industry.

Uh

Originally, he wanted to use this lineup to convince Li Qian, but unexpectedly he turned the question back to himself.

After several contacts, Wu Siyuan found that Li Qian was not that easy to fool, so he simply opened the skylight and said quantification, "Director Li, let me tell you the truth, this film is the one that Eucalyptus wants to invest in, but it hasn't been officially confirmed yet. , The actors only made a verbal agreement, they are using this lineup to discuss sponsorship.

I read the script and felt that this film has great potential and is a rare high-quality product in recent years, so I have the idea of ​​investing, but the funds are not enough. If Director Li is willing to invest, I can get it before Eucalyptus confirms it. "

"It turned out to be like this." Li Qian understood it, and used the fame of Liu Dehua and Guo Fucheng to solicit sponsorship, and if he got it, he could save another investment.

It is similar to letting the bullets fly. Jiang used Zhou Runfa to lure Ge You to come here, and then used Ge You to lure Zhou Runfa back, and then used their names as the three giants to get the investment in order.

"However, does Eucalyptus have any objections?" Li Qian asked again.

Wu Siyuan smiled quite complacently, "I also have some influence in the Xiangjiang film industry. Director Li doesn't have to worry about this, and Hua Tsai was the first to see the script. He also wanted to invest at the beginning, but he was also rejected by Jiang Zhiqiang. Cut it off, he's too embarrassed to fight, but I don't have any scruples."
