my time as a director

Li Qian focused on science fiction a little bit. Chen Wu briefly introduced the plot of "Magic City Fortress", and then said, "Jiangnan has become one of the top science fiction writers in China because of this science fiction book. The sales volume is very good, especially among young readers. There was a great response from the readers, and he himself surpassed Mo Yan the year before last to top the list of the richest writers."

Following Li Qian's explanation, Chen Wu's eyes became more and more interested.

Science fiction is exactly the same type as "The Wandering Earth" that Li Qian valued before.

Moreover, the main audience is young. This is not the official mainstream movie audience. The audience is getting younger and younger, and even children cannot be ignored.

As for the author Jiang Nan, of course he knows, after all, he is in charge of all entertainment industries under Penguin, including Singularity.

Best-selling, the author topped the list of richest writers.

After thinking about it, Chen Wu became more and more excited. This high-quality project was clearly in front of him, and writers like Guo Jinming and Han Han had also achieved great success.

However, since it is a sci-fi film, the investment must not be small, and the production cycle will not be short, so Chen Wu calmed down a little.

No one in China understands sci-fi, especially real sci-fi.

"Director Li, you are the only one who can make sci-fi films in China, and you have also made sci-fi films. Do you think the film "Magic City Fortress" is successful?" Chen Wu asked Li Qian's opinion, after all, only Li Qian has made sci-fi films, and even though they barely make it to the top, they are still sci-fi.

Li Qian was also willing to help him analyze, and said with a smile, "At present, there are no serious sci-fi blockbusters in China, and there are no worries about gimmicks when they are made. This genre alone is worth [-] million publicity.

Moreover, sci-fi films actually have a relatively wide audience and low requirements. Even if they are made into simple popcorn movies, audiences will buy them. Coupled with the fame and fans of the original, as long as the story is smooth and the special effects are qualified, it is inevitable. "

Chen Wu thought so too, the word-of-mouth of "Transformers" is getting worse and worse, the fourth part is full of complaints on the Internet, but it also swept the summer archives, selling nearly 20 billion.

If there is a selling point of domestic sci-fi, if you make a blockbuster sci-fi movie, you won't have to worry about not being able to sell tickets.

From this point of view, this "Magic City Fortress" is simply an absolutely high-quality project.

Chen Wu's mind became active, but it was not suitable for any conflict with Li Qian at the moment, so he smiled a little embarrassedly, "This kind of sci-fi blockbuster is definitely not small compared to the investment. I don't know if Director Li needs to invest. We Penguin Film and Television is also very willing to contribute to the revival of domestic sci-fi without expecting anything in return!"

Asking if it is necessary means that I want to invest, but you will not give me a share.

"The Wandering Earth" itself has Penguin's investment. Of the total 4 million investment, [-] million was allocated to seven or eight capitals and TV stations, among them Penguin.

What Chen Wu said obviously meant that he wanted to invest more, not just for soy sauce.

Li Qian pondered for a moment, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Since Mr. Chen has this kind of heart, thank you very much. It just so happens that "The Wandering Earth" has already been bothered enough, and I'm afraid I can't take care of so many projects. After all, such a large investment cannot be sloppy. "

Chen Wu was overjoyed, Li Qian completely regarded them as very close partners, and he almost patted his chest to guarantee it.

"Director Li, just ask, how much money is needed, we will fully support it!"

Li Qian said seriously, "Then when the film is officially prepared, I won't be polite to Mr. Chen."

Li Qian sent off Chen Wu who was full of joy, wandered around the office area, and then returned to the office.

Du Yang also followed, and asked with some uncertainty, "You don't like Teng Huatao's "Magic City Fortress"? Or is it because of the failure of "Waiting for the Wind"?"

"It's all." Li Qian sat down on the chair, shook his head and said, "It's a pity for Teng Huatao, I haven't realized the real failure of my last time, but I am so ambitious to adapt "Dragon Clan", "Magic City" fortress"."

"But isn't the story of "Magic City Fortress" very strong?" Du Yang was puzzled. He heard from Li Qian that Teng Huatao couldn't tell a 90-minute story without the support of the original story. .

"The story of "Magic City Fortress" is really good, but that's for acting, and all the highlights are the inner drama of the characters, which cannot be perfectly restored on the big screen.

He wants to set up this story on the big screen on the basis of lack of inner drama, and he almost has to fill in it himself, which is precisely not what he is good at.

If the TV series is good, it can tell any story well, but the movie is only 90 minutes. This is a story about a secret love, and he can't make it well. "

Li Qian told Du Yang some things he didn't tell Teng Huatao, "The story is one thing, and Teng Huatao doesn't know anything about the most important special effects in science fiction. Unless he happens to be a genius in science fiction, otherwise I have You can imagine the filming effect at that time.”

When Li Qian said this, Du Yang also understood that she would not question Li Qian's vision.

After the success of "33 Days of Broken Relationship", the industry agreed that "Waiting for the Wind" of the same type will also be a big success, only Li Qian is not optimistic.

Therefore, Li Qian's conversation with Chen Wu just now deliberately exaggerated the benefits of "Magic City Fortress", Du Yang was surprised.

Even Chen Wu knew that Teng Huatao had come to Future Pictures. In fact, many high-level executives in the industry had received the information. After all, the entire film and television industry paid close attention to Li Qian's company.

Teng Huatao's studio was signed under the banner of Huayang Media, and the Huang family brothers had learned the news earlier.

"This Teng Huatao, eat inside and outside!"

Huang Zhonglei was very dissatisfied and vented a wave of anger in his heart. Since "Waiting for the Wind" hit the street, Li Qian has been lukewarm towards Teng Huatao, but he is still wooing Teng Huatao.

Even in order to let Teng Huatao know who is the real one, he became more enthusiastic than before.

But I didn't expect that in the end, Teng Huatao decided on the project, and the first thing he went to find was Li Qian.

What made him even more angry was that Teng Huatao hadn't come to them for several days.

"You unfamiliar white-eyed wolf!"

Seeing his older brother still cursing, Huang Zhongjun frowned, "Okay!"

"Regardless of those falsehoods, if you don't ask him about the situation, don't let the filming start and you're still in the dark!"

"Why do I still have to lick my face and get close?"

That being said, for the sake of the overall situation, after Huang Zhonglei got sullen, he called Teng Huatao and made an appointment to play ball and have a drink.

They have been golf friends for many years, have played together, and held parties together.

A few friends played golf, got sweaty all over, went to a set of serious health care, and sipped the wine with a satisfied face.

A friend just asked Teng Huatao when he planned to make a new film, and Teng Huatao didn't think too much about it, and immediately shared his thoughts on adapting "Magic City Fortress".

"Magic City Fortress"?

Huang Zhonglei was a little surprised. At the previous Charity Bazaar dinner, it seemed that "Dragon Race" was the topic of conversation, why the book was changed.

But it is not important, what is important is the prospect of this project and how to get more benefits.

After exercising and massage, people were already a little relaxed, not to mention drinking alcohol. Teng Huatao shared all his thoughts with a few friends, including Li Qian's views on this project.

Hearing Li Qian praised this film, Huang Zhonglei couldn't help raising his brows, and then pondered in his heart.

Li Qian didn't know that he would be missed every day at work and at home. He was lying on the sofa watching the news.

Most people don't like to watch news, but domestic news, especially CCTV news, is often of great reference value, which represents the country.

Even if it has nothing to do with me, it is not a bad thing to see more and understand more.

However, a piece of news reported on the news network made Li Qian sit up all of a sudden.

What came from the ear was the host's correct and slightly sad voice.

"Today, the Civil Aviation Authority of Malaysia announced that flight H370 crashed and presumed that all 239 passengers and crew on board were killed."
