my time as a director

As if this topic had never been mentioned, Li Qian asked about the sequel of "The Truman Show".

Zhou Xingchi has also done all the preparations. After a while, he took a break and finished his work on the production of "Journey to the West", and the filming can start.

"By the way, Director Zhou, the higher-ups plan to make a commercial film with the main theme about the [-]th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China. It will be divided into seven units. I wonder if you are interested?"

Li Qian suddenly remembered "My Motherland and Me". Xiangjiang is also a part of the motherland. It is necessary for a Hong Kong director to participate on behalf of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.

There are so many directors in Xiangjiang, but Li Qian has not dealt with many. Xu Ke is about to shoot "Journey to the West" and there is no time, so Zhou Xingchi is left, and he is enough to be a representative of Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan, unless he is replaced by Cheng Long. he.

"This" Zhou Xingchi, even at a very young age, is a little confused. What kind of thing is it that he is looking for him for the main theme movie? I really don't understand Li Qian's brain circuit.

"Director Zhou first listen to me, the 10th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China, seven 90-minute units, each unit is a representative event in each decade, in fact, the representative of the 10s is the return of Xiangjiang to raise the national flag, I think Zhou The director can come and try it out, and it’s only a [-]-minute unit short film, so it doesn’t take much time.” Li Qian explained.

It is of great significance, Zhou Xingchi thought about it and readily agreed, "It is also right to contribute to the country."

"My Motherland and Me" needs seven directors, and "The Loveliest Man" does not know how many characters are planned to be filmed, but it should be five or six, plus a battle that has not yet been determined. The film needs about 12 directors in total.

However, the 20-minute unit can also be repeated, almost every director is definitely looking for it.

This kind of movie with the main theme is definitely going to be in the cabinet, and the leaders must watch it. Of course, Li Qian gave priority to taking care of his own people in this opportunity.

Finding a time when everyone was free, Li Qian invited them all out and talked a little bit about these two unit movies.

"That's the case. Although the above has not given an answer, it should only be two months. This is also an opportunity. If there is no time for a 20-minute unit drama, I suggest everyone come."

"Two gift films, more than ten units, when did this happen, why is there no movement at all."

Everyone has not recovered yet, whether it is "My Motherland and Me" or "The Loveliest Person", although Li Qian only talked about the general planning plan, everyone can see that whether it is the [-]th anniversary of the founding of the People's Republic of China , or the first large-scale gift film for the War to Resist Rice and Aid Korea in decades, is no small matter.

Moreover, in the form of a unit drama, it is also unusual.

"Just last month, as the chief director, chief planner, and chief producer, I will not interfere with you regardless of the specific shooting." Li Qian said.

"Then the higher up can let Director Li designate candidates for you, and our qualifications are not enough?" Xu Zheng asked.

"Of course I didn't designate it. When the plan is confirmed, I will choose a director in the industry, but"

Li Qian smiled proudly, "When it comes to commercial films, to be modest, we people have already accounted for half of the industry. Apart from you, there is no one else on the top, and you all know the approximate scope, and you can also prepare in advance. one time."

Xu Zheng had a smug face, and he almost said "that is".

Ning Hao nodded, "But, which of these more than ten units should we shoot? We are not sure who will be filmed in "The Cutest Person"."

The seven units of "My Motherland and Me" are basically fine. The major events in 49-59 must be related to the founding ceremony.

59-69, related to the atomic bomb, Hong Kong’s return in the 90s should not be missed, and there will be no changes in the Olympics in the 00s.

Li Qian said, "First of all, you choose one to prepare. If you can make a war movie, you can shoot both. The two units should be staggered in time. After all, it's been a year since the release."

Everyone look at you, I look at me, Xu Zheng spoke first.

He smiled and said, "I've only filmed comedies. The founding ceremony of 49 is definitely not suitable, and the atomic bomb is also not good. I just want to make the Olympics more festive. It can be made into a comedy, or I will shoot the Olympic unit?"

"Then I'll shoot the Founding Ceremony? I also want to try such a big film." Ning Hao also chose a unit for himself.

If you choose them all, then the others are also welcome.

"I just filmed the atomic bomb unit. I regretted that there was not enough space for the boss's "Rejuvenation." Qi Yukun also picked one, and then said, "I also want to try a war movie. Qiu Shaoyun will give it to me."

"Then I will shoot Huang Jiguang?" Guo Fan thought about it for a while. In "The Wandering Earth", Liu Peiqiang died heroically to save the earth, which is somewhat similar to Huang Jiguang.

"I'll just shoot my senior sister's nurse unit in the field hospital, and it's fine if Xiangjiang returns." Su Lun is a female director, and since she really couldn't choose a war film, she chose Tong Liya's unit of female nurses in the field hospital.

"Then I won the championship with the women's volleyball team, and I'll forget about the war film, because it was screwed up." Wen Muye gave up the unit in "The Cutest Person" after thinking about it.

""The Loveliest Man" is not necessarily a war film, and some are also small-scale, but let's do it for now, the higher-ups haven't decided which people to shoot, so let's do this first, everyone goes back and prepares for the unit of their choice, It depends on your plan." Li Qian nodded.

Seven units were selected, and Wu Jing, who was far away in Africa, was left with a war film unit in "The Loveliest Man", so there were eight units.

The distribution is similar, and there are also directors of the older generation like Cheng Kai, Zhang Yimou, and Gu Changwei. It is impossible for them to round up all of them.

Chapter 504 The Most Important Thing

After the Spring Festival, it is probably the most deserted industry in the film market, and it can compete with the September school season for the most off-season.

But now the market is booming like never before, and online ticketing platforms are heavily subsidized. Basically, you can watch a movie for a dozen yuan. After the Spring Festival, the market is still hot.

At the beginning of March, "Zootopia" sold 3 billion. This is not the first time that Hollywood animated films have sold well. Since ten years ago, animated films have sold well every year.

"Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice" was released at the end of the month. As the two most well-known superheroes in China, it broke [-] million on the first day, but the word of mouth is so-so.

In fact, Hollywood superhero movies, because of different cultures, domestic audiences have a different feeling from Mi Lijian audiences.

Marvel can last for a long time in Milijian, with countless fans and supporters. These blockbuster movies are not just simple popcorn movies, but have become cultural symbols of the United States.

There are also many Americans in China who have popularized "Reunion" and superheroes. The general idea is that if you don't understand Marvel, you can't understand Mi Lijian.

But for domestic audiences, what they want to see is just a collision between two superheroes.

However, Superman and Batman, anyone who knows these two people understands that their combat power is not at the same level at all.

So Superman was given three weaknesses, kryptonite, girlfriend and his mother, and these three weaknesses were all used once, so there was a Batman vs. Superman scene.

And because the two characters are both good guys in everyone's perception, it would be awkward for two good guys to fight, so the director filmed Batman as headstrong, covering the sky with one hand, abusing lynching, good and bad.

It broke [-] million on the first day, and the total box office was just [-] million.

However, domestic films did not seize the opportunity of the downturn in Hollywood blockbusters. The "Brother Sleeping on My Upper Bunk", which was released at the same time, was adapted from the TV series of the same name.

In fact, it’s not considered an adaptation, it’s just that the TV series and the movie were filmed together when it was filmed, and it was released three months later.

The model of web drama + movie uses the popularity of web dramas to drive the popularity of movies.

The reputation of the TV series is not bad, and you can tell it is a youth film just by the name.

Youth movies are easy to shoot, and TV dramas are also easy to tell stories. All stories can be clearly told in more than 20 episodes.

But the movie... was full of curses.

Of course, there is no abortion in this teen film.

But how should I put it? At first glance, the title of this film is about brotherhood, but the time for the whole film to be framed by four brothers in a dormitory is only a little more than 10 minutes.

However, Chen Xiao and Qin Lan's office master-student relationship lasted for nearly half an hour, and the other three fell in love and broke up separately.

It doesn't matter if the text is wrong, the big deal is that the audience will automatically change the title of the film to "The Love That Sleeps on My Top Bunk".

But the relationship between master and apprentice in the office is also embarrassing to death. Qin Lan, who has always refused Chen Xiao's pursuit, saw a photo of Chen Xiao's childhood, and found that she appeared in the photo by a very coincidence.
