my time as a director

"Director Li, I think it's better to start with the first part, Jingjue Ancient City. Even though the sales volume of physical books and the number of hits on the Internet are very high, there are still many viewers who have not read the original work. Stand up."

Xu Ke's suggestion is to make the first film first. After all, even if it is an adaptation, the necessary characters and background must be explained.

If you start shooting from the back, of course you can also explain the background of the characters, but it is not as smooth as the first part.

"It's okay to shoot the ancient city first." Li Qian nodded. The "Looking for the Dragon" in memory should not be based on any one, but a story based on the original work and adapted independently.

You can shoot whatever you want, anyway, Xu Ke shoots it himself. Li Qian believes that he will not mess up this subject matter.

However, there are some things that Li Qian still wants to talk about first, "Director Xu, we still need to focus on adventures, breakthroughs, monsters, and treasure hunting for the content of the adaptation. For the theme of tomb robbery, Optoelectronics will definitely not pass it so easily. It’s better to avoid it now than to revise it when the time comes.”

"I understand this, materialism."

Xu Ke smiled, of course he knew about it. He knew that gambling movies, zombie movies, and ghost movies were all banned in the mainland. Tomb robbery, including some mysterious and mysterious things, must not be allowed.

Li Qian and Tsui Hark chatted about the idea of ​​creation, which is generally based on the first story of Jingjue Ancient City, and then carried out secondary processing on it.

The positioning of the movie is suspense-adventure, and the core is suspense and adventure.

Most of the time, Xu Ke is talking and Li Qian is listening. Making a movie is a very personal thing, especially a big director who has been famous for many years and has his own unique style and habits. Li Qian will not intervene in multiple companies.

The box office of Longmen Flying Armor is only over 5 million points, which is far from the expectation, and the reputation is so-so. The importance of Ghost Blowing Lamp to Xu Ke is self-evident. Without Li Qian asking, Xu Ke will devote 100% to make the film well.

After chatting for three full hours, after confirming the shooting direction and theme, Xu Ke left.

"Director Xu, it's getting late, why don't we have a meal together." Li Qian looked at the time and invited.

"Maybe it won't work today, Huayang Media will hold an annual meeting later in the evening, and I agreed to attend." Xu Ke apologized.

"That's fine, another day." Li Qian nodded.

Xu Ke went back, put down the manuscript, and went to the Kerry Center Hotel in Beijing.

The 2012 annual meeting of Huayang Media Group was held in the luxurious banquet hall on the second floor of Kerry Center that can accommodate 1500 guests.

As the largest private film and television company in China, the annual meeting of Huayang Media has always been full of people.

But this year, with the departure of Shuangbing Zhouxun, Deng Chao and Wang Baoqiang also left, the new generation has not been able to support the scene, and the annual meeting seems to be insufficient.

That is to say, Huang Xiaoming, who set up a studio to work alone, and Zhang Hanyu, the biggest actress now is actually Yao Chen.

If you have to say it, she is also the queen of Weibo. She got a divorce by mistake and made her husband abused by the whole network, which is considered a big name.

However, Cheng Long came to support the show, and Ma Qingyang, one of the shareholders, made a brief appearance and then left, which was considered a way of saving face.

The bustling annual meeting lasted for three hours and ended. Although the star lineup was not as good as it was two or three years ago, Huang Zhongjun was still very satisfied.

In 2011, Huayang Media's net profit was as high as 25 billion, which was achieved even when the film business plummeted by 70%.

Last year Huayang Media did not release any films at all, and its profit reached a record high of 25 billion. This year, 2, Zodiac, and Painted Skin [-] hit one billion big productions, as well as two Tai Chi series.

If the box office share can be settled within this year, it would be a double-check with eyes closed.

In addition, the old rival Zhang Weiping was killed by Li Qian, Jinling Shisanchai was injured, Minsheng Bank urged the 15 billion loan every day, it was no longer a climate, and Zhang Yimou could not save the new picture.

Huang Zhongjun, who was in a good mood, was able to lower his stance in front of Teng Huatao now, had a drink with him, and apologized for what happened before with a smile.

"Hua Tao, I'm really sorry for you last year. At that time, the company's business situation was not very good, and my brain was a little dull."

Teng Hua laughed and said, "Dong Huang's words are serious, I understand."

Seeing that Teng Huatao was in a good mood, Huang Zhonglei thought that the comfort during this period had worked. After all, they had been in love for several years, so he said with a face of self-blame.

"Actually, I was also to blame at the time. You also know me. I am good at eating, drinking, and having fun, but I don't know anything about professional things like movies. You said why I was so confused at the time, and I didn't approve the money in time."

The two brothers apologized here for not investing in Teng Huatao for 33 days last year. They both blamed themselves and drank twice as much wine.

The apology is true, and the self-blame is also true. After all, the direct profit of 33 Days of Broken Love is [-] million, plus the indirect income caused by popular actors, and it can be changed into a TV series, which is also a good seller. .

This movie alone topped Huayang Media's profit last year.

Can the Huang family brothers not regret it, their intestines are almost green.

"Zhong Lei, why are you still talking about this? It's over when it's over."

Teng Huatao still had a smile on his face, and he really didn't care about his already round face.

Seeing him like this, the Huang family brothers also heaved a sigh of relief. A popular director was hard to come by at that time.

However, Huang Zhonglei was a little puzzled, while Teng Huatao smiled familiarly, but he didn't care.

After chatting with each other, the relationship between each other seems to be back to a year ago, when we tasted wine together, played together, and had parties together.

Seeing that it was almost done, Huang Zhonglei seemingly unintentionally asked what plans Teng Huatao had next.

Teng Huatao took a sip of the wine in his glass, and said with a smile, "The plan is nothing, it is to cooperate with Future Films to invest in the filming of the TV drama version of 33 Days of Broken Relationship."

As soon as these words came out, Huang Zhongjun and Huang Zhonglei's faces changed at the same time.

It seems that there is nothing wrong with this statement. It is normal to film a TV series after a broken relationship for 33 days, but in front of them, it is intriguing to say that they jointly invest with Future Pictures.

Before they could recall, Teng Huatao said again, "There is also Bao Jingjing working on a new script."

"I've been preparing a new film so soon. I've been looking forward to your new film for a long time. I'll personally help you prepare this film." Huang Zhonglei said hurriedly.

"That's troublesome for Zhong Lei." Teng Hua said with a smile.

Get it!

Huang Zhonglei gave Huang Zhongjun a look that I was sure of, and they both laughed.

However, Teng Huatao immediately said, "This time the three of us will work together to complete this movie. I think it will definitely be more successful than 33 Days of Broken Relationship."

"Oh, that"

Huang Zhonglei laughed halfway and couldn't stop laughing.

Three parties?

Hua Yang, Teng Huatao, and Li Qian?

Teng Huatao himself wants to invest, this is for sure, a director with a box office of [-] million is enough to qualify.

But, they still want to drag Li Qian together?

At this time, Huang Zhonglei immediately remembered why Teng Huatao's smiling face was so familiar.

Li Qian smiled like that, a standard smiling face, very annoying.
