my time as a director

"That's fine, I can invest, and I will cover whatever funding gap Mr. Wu has." In this case, Li Qian doesn't care, the main reason is that he is too lazy to participate in the internal strife among their Xiangjiang filmmakers. Liu Dehua, there is nothing wrong with Wu Siyuan cutting him off.
"It's not too late. Director Li will send someone to go to Xiangjiang with me. First, we will go to Hua Tsai. The three parties will make a decision first and invest 6000 million. The sponsorship we get later can be used as publicity costs." Wu Siyuan immediately Said.
With Li Qian's investment, he doesn't care much about sponsoring Wu Siyuan. He believes in Liu Dehua's vision, and Crazy Stone is a good example.
With Li Qian's investment, he will help promote the film when it is released, which is basically stable.
Li Qian also had no objection, so he called Du Yang and asked her and Wu Siyuan to go to Xiangjiang.
This time and again, one project was postponed, and another project was picked up in vain. Although Hong Kong films have declined, there is still a potential of [-] to [-] million yuan, and it is guaranteed to make money.
Even if you don't make any money, you can increase your revenue.
Absorbed Wu Siyuan's u seven movie theaters, and this advantage, you can invest in high-quality Hong Kong movies.
Chapter 360 The Uproar Caused by the Olympics
In the office, after more than a year, Li Qian saw Qi Yukun again.
Looking at Qi Yukun, who was slightly thinner than a year ago, and still had a scar on his head, Li Qian wondered, "Old Qi, how is your progress in southern Henan for more than a year? This is on your head?"
"This?"
Qi Yukun touched the scar on his head, crying and laughing, "During the Chinese New Year last year, I went back to my hometown in Jiuyuan and went to several coal mines to investigate. It turned out that there was a small coal mine. They thought I was a reporter. Called."
This
Li Qian did know that Qi Yukun planned to make a movie about coal mines at first, and there are many coal mines in his hometown Jiuyuan.
Later, I heard a person from southern Henan talk about some things in their local area, and then went back to the rural areas of southern Henan to investigate. After more than a year of investigation, it is now over.
"Coal mines, especially black coal mines, don't go easily, and you have to be careful when you go. It's better to show your identity in an upright manner. At least you are not a reporter, so I won't do anything to you." Li Qian suggested.
Qi Yukun was still a little scared, nodded and said, "I won't be going in a short time. The investigation in Henan has also been completed, and the script has come out. I plan to start preparing for the movie."
As he spoke, he took out a script from a worn-out leather bag and handed it to Li Qian.
"Boss, show me."
"Well, wait a minute. Have you eaten yet? I'll have someone prepare something for you." Li Qian took the script and checked the time. It was already one o'clock in the afternoon.
"I ate on the train, why don't you eat first, boss." Qi Yukun said quickly.
Li Qian waved his hand, "No, I haven't done anything during this time, and I've grown fat after eating too much."
Asking someone to pour two cups of tea in, Li Qian took a sip and slowly read the script.
It has been printed, and the cover is two large characters of funeral coffin.
Unlucky enough.
Then look down, the story prototype Li Qian knew before, from the real events in southern Henan.
In the early 90s, most people in the village went out to work, and communication was underdeveloped for several years without any contact.
Suddenly one day, a charred corpse appeared in the village. As a result, several families scrambled to say that it was their own child. In the end, the coffin changed three owners in just a few days.
And this script is also a bit similar, that is, the son of the village head of Xiaoshan Village accidentally killed a ruffian in the same village, and he ran away overnight with his girlfriend in a panic.
As a result, when the body was found the next day, it was already charred, and its identity was difficult to identify. Most of the subsequent events were caused by this body.
Surrounding this unidentified corpse is the dark side of human beings one after another, and all of them have more or less ugly sides in their hearts.
Li Qian had an impression of this film, but he didn't expect Qi Yukun to make it.
"There are some things that you have to ask? If you don't ask, it will be on his heart for a lifetime; once you ask, it will be on your heart." This sentence is probably Li Qian's initial understanding of the movie.
"shoot!"
Li Qian put down the script, gave Qi Yukun an affirmative answer, and asked, "Old Qi, how do you want to shoot?"
Qi Yukun had planned for the film for a long time, and immediately expressed his thoughts, "I met an actor from the Jiaozuo Repertory Troupe when I was investigating in southern Henan. Besides, I plan to use all actors from southern Henan, and even some of them don't need to be professional. actor."
"Is this going to be non-commercialized?" Li Qian asked.
There are quite a few films that use dialects. The Crazy Stone series uses dialects, but not all of them use local actors.
All the people from southern Henan are used, and not all actors. There is only one purpose for doing this, to restore the rural atmosphere of the rural areas of southern Henan to the highest extent.
Movies are not necessarily good if they are not true. Any true story needs artistic processing to become "good-looking".
Blindly pursuing the truth, there is a high probability that it will be "unsightly"
However, Li Qian also knew who Qi Yukun was. He belonged to the kind of filmmaker with ideals. He was engaged in the film industry for his ideals, not to be famous or to please the audience.
He had no choice but to shoot the sequel of Jaws before. He had to do it in order to survive.
After Jaws 2 became a big hit, survival was no longer a problem, and making movies was no longer difficult, so many people were willing to invest. At this time, he had a higher pursuit.
A director in his 20s, who suddenly became famous, was able to put everything down and go alone to the countryside in southern Henan to find material, and he searched for more than a year.
Before, I still had a somewhat rounded square face, but it tended to be square, and it became rectangular after a trip.
Li Qian would not do this, but it did not prevent him from admiring Qi Yukun.
He smiled and said, "Then shoot as you said, and if you want money or someone, go directly to Zhao Jun."
Qi Yukun is a little strange. Li Qian is a typical director of commercial films. He has always looked down on the films of those underground directors. What he believes in is that no matter how meaningful the film is, it must be seen by the majority of audiences. Only with such meaning can it be practical. significance.
He couldn't help but said, "Boss, don't worry about smashing the signboard."
"It can't be smashed, but you have to take better pictures and take pictures with your heart."
Li Qian shook his head, "A niche movie, the audience will not ask for it as a commercial blockbuster, but don't make it too sad, just like yourself."
"I'm so sad. My parents gave me my looks. There's nothing I can do about it." Qi Yukun touched his face and smiled wryly, because this look is obviously the same age as Li Qian, but it looks at least ten years older than Li Qian According to my mother, I am so old that it is difficult to find a partner.
Li Qian smiled, stopped joking, and continued, "It's okay to shoot according to what you said, don't learn from those underground directors, even realistic and critical films must have positive aspects, you must always remember, Society has its negative side, but it also has its positive side, and any movie that claims to be true, only shows one side, or shows too much of one side, cannot be called truth.”
This funeral coffin, that is, the heart labyrinth, has family affection, extramarital affairs, domestic violence, and local gangsters at a small scale, and class discrimination, rural labor loss, and emotional maintenance of left-behind families when viewed at a deeper level.
This is not the kind of underground movie that shows the darkness of the countryside. Underneath all the ugliness of rebellion, vanity, tyranny, ignorance, weakness, narrow-mindedness, hatred, desire, and interests in the movie is fear.
And the only thing that can help people overcome this fear is kindness and love. People lie out of fear and are honest out of love.
This is a suspenseful movie that reflects the dark side of people's hearts, but there is also kindness and love in it.
During the New Year's Eve, the fierce battle was still in full swing, and Yu Dong and Zhang Weiping's scolding battle never stopped, attracting a lot of attention.
