Perfect Life
Vol 5 Chapter 9: anticipating yet apprehensive
After the short three-day holiday, the crew of "The Matrix" gathered again at the Studio City. After a day or two, the entire crew quickly returned to their normal working state.
However, the three-day vacation was not enough for the dozen or so foreign actors who were still waiting for the filming to rush back to the United States. Therefore, most of them chose to rest in the apartments arranged by the crew, or to be familiar with the Chinese side. Together with the cast members, go to the nearest travel to relax.
Among them, Zhou Baoshan obviously has many friends under the deliberate friendship.
Finally, when the time entered late October, the group of more than a dozen American actors who were stranded to the end ended the filming of their scenes and began to leave the crew one after another and return to the United States.
A few days later, all the scenes of "The Matrix" were finally filmed, and Li Qian officially announced that "The Matrix" was finished.
The crew rejoiced.
That night, in Li Qian's villa dedicated to entertaining important guests and partying, "The Matrix" held a grand banquet.
Even Elizabeth drank several glasses of champagne and beer secretly, her face flushed.
And the "approachable" new generation of kung fu superstar Zhou Baoshan was undoubtedly drunk by a group of people in the crew - Li Qian has been observing him for the past six months and has a lot of feelings.
This guy came from a very low background, and his starting point is even lower. Of course, he got lucky later and got the role of Huang Feihong. Since then, he has started to climb to the sky, but I have to say that his grass roots brought some little shrewdness, And the very atmospheric and cosmopolitan style he showed, it really made him more and more open to eating.
Whether inside Minghu Culture or outside Minghu Culture, everyone's reputation and evaluation of him are quite good.
On the other hand, the first generation of Xiaosheng of Minghu Culture, Zhu Qiang, who became popular by playing Xu Xian, is actually not bad at doing things, and he is also very smart, but his personality is obviously more introverted, and he likes to be more sincere in doing things. After he became famous , First, Minghu Culture did not come up with follow-up resources to continue to support him, and secondly, he himself prefers to take on some literary and artistic roles, so he has come and gone. In the past few years, his popularity, influence, and his In fact, the network and word of mouth in the circle have continued to decline.
Looking at the other one, Zhou Zhiyu, this guy is also a true master. After "My Sassy Girl" became popular, he didn't take the opportunity to go up, but plunged into the drama again. There are movies and TV dramas around, but they have not been able to continue to be popular, but when they talk about him in the circle, everyone thinks that his popularity and popularity have not lost.
The three of them not only represent the three stages of Minghu Culture since the beginning of film and television production, but also basically represent three different styles of the actor group.
Some people come from the grassroots, don't let go when they seize the opportunity, and climb all the way up, regardless of what's inside, what they show on the outside is always their best side, some people are reserved and reserved, but they are smooth and shrewd in doing things, so even if He is no longer the one on the front line, but everyone still attaches great importance to him, and there are people who are more introverted and more selfish, so it is easier to get into the horns and not get out.
At the end of the killing banquet, even He Yingyu, who no one dared to drink alcohol, blushed and hiccupped, and everyone went crazy.
Li Qian was helpless, so he had to tell He Yingyu's assistant to take good care of her, and at the same time, he repeatedly explained to a group of company drivers and security guards guarding the villa that they must send everyone home safely.
As for himself, he chose to leave the venue early, and took out Xia Meng's little classmate who was jumping around in the venue, let her take his own car, and was ready to drive her back to the hotel.
Elizabeth looked very unhappy, and reluctantly waved goodbye to He Yingyu and the others.
When he got into the car, he kept complaining to Li Qian.
Li Qian just laughed and didn't bother to pay attention to her.
When he got out of the car at the door of the hotel, the doorman came over to open the door of the Rolls-Royce, Li Qian also got out of the car, and told her at the door of the hotel, "It's almost there, it's almost November, I have two days ago. I talked to your parents on the phone and promised them that they would send you back to the UK in a few days. So, after the filming is over, pack your luggage and let the driver drive you to your friends tomorrow. Farewell, and then, the plane the day after tomorrow, back to the UK, OK?"
Boss Elizabeth was not happy and pouted.
Li Qian reached out to touch her hair, and smiled: "Okay! You can come over and play for two days until Christmas. Then, you can finish your studies well, and when you graduate from university in the future, if If you want, you can come over and continue to help me! Okay?"
Elizabeth tilted her head to look at him.
Li Qian noticed that she looked different, so he spread his hands and asked, "What's wrong?"
Elizabeth shook her head, shrugged, and turned into the hotel.
Li Qian was a little stunned and puzzled.
But in the end, watching her enter the hotel lobby and go to the elevator, of course Li Qian wouldn't chase after her and ask her what was wrong. He didn't have the heart to care too much about the little girl's mind.
So he returned to the car and said, "Let's go, go home."
The driver asked, "Which home are you going back to?"
Li Qian thought about it and said, "Go to President Qi's place."
Qi Jie also went to the killing banquet just now, drank a lot of wine, and left early. Before leaving, he seemed to be intoxicated.
Should be a good opportunity.
So, the driver who kept Li Qian's roadmap in mind immediately drove the car straight to Qi Jie's house.
But halfway through the car, Li Qian remembered how Qi Jie had rejected him several times before, and rubbed his brows in distress, and finally said: "Forget it, turn around, go back to Sheeppen Hutong, and go see my son! "
The driver didn't dare to say anything, just agreed, and then turned around and drove back at an intersection.
When he returned to Yangjuan Hutong, it was almost eleven o'clock. Li Qian forgot to call in advance. After he was cured, he would call Zhou Ai's assistant and call up the little girl to open the door for him.
Li Shesheng had already fallen asleep.
His face was flushed, and he was sleeping soundly, looking like he was trying hard to sleep.
Zhou Ai put on her clothes, and came here too. Seeing that Li Qian didn't turn on the light, she sat in front of her son's cot, looked at him without blinking, and then didn't come over. She stood at the door, leaning on On the door frame, look at this man.
Li Qian sat there for seven or eight minutes before raising his head.
In the dark, he smiled at Zhou Ai, stretched out his hand to help his son and pulled the little quilt again, and then got up and walked over lightly, hugged Zhou Ai's waist, went out together, and closed the door carefully.
Zhou Ai said: "Don't close the door, after twelve o'clock, he must have been woken up by his first urination, and he must have urinated on the bed, and he would have to come over to change his mattress. But before that, he would usually not wake up. he."
Li Qian laughed at first, and then felt a little depressed.
The reason why I walked halfway and turned back was not because I felt that I would not be able to get in, nor because I felt that I would be kicked out by Qi Jie. The key was that I suddenly thought of my two children.
Now Liao Liao is basically out of the country all the year round, and Wang Jinglu is pregnant with a child, so he will definitely spend more time with Wang Jinglu, plus he is busy with work, after a month, in addition to changing places to sleep at night, it is really I rarely have time to spend with my children.
Because every time they come back, they have already slept.
The next morning, before they woke up, Li Qian got up early and left.
Only in the middle of the night, when I am awakened occasionally, I will follow along to watch Zhou Hao or He Runqing change the diapers and bedding of the children, and hug them at that time.
And although they are sleepy, they still know that it is Dad, so they will stretch out their little hands and hold your clothes tightly, and sometimes they will tell their mother the next day that they dreamed of Dad at night.
Every time I heard them talk about this, Li Qian felt a little sad.
Zhou Ai stood up on tiptoe and kissed him on the face, and asked, "What's wrong?"
Li Qian smiled and shook his head.
Zhou Hao looked at him and asked, "Is it finished?"
Li Qian nodded, "It's done."
"Have you eaten the killing banquet?"
Li Qian nodded again.
After a while, he laughed self-deprecatingly and said, "I won't go anywhere tomorrow! You should be busy with yours, I'll bring the shooting sound, and then go over and hold Chacha, and play with the two of them for a day."
Zhou Yan smiled and reached out to touch his face.
…………
The next day, Li Qian, who was relaxed, really spent a whole day with his two children. He didn't go anywhere. Even Xiao Li Cha's diapers were changed by him.
Of course, for him, such a time is only one day.
Turning around, he would have to start working again.
The matter of "The Matrix" can be put aside for the time being, but the production of "Hulu Baby" has been completely completed, and he is anxiously waiting for him to watch it again and make the final adjustments.
Li Qian took this matter very seriously.
Because this version of "Hulu Baby" and the version of the cartoon "Hulu Brothers" in his impression, in addition to retaining a certain degree of similarity in appearance, the character settings are basically the same, the whole story, It's already been a complete change - the original story setting is too low-level, if you want to follow the original story, you can only make TV animation, even if it is barely processed into a movie animation, it will only be It can make some children interested, but cannot achieve the level of "family fun".
And an animated movie, if it can't make young parents like to watch it, and let them yawn when they watch a movie with their children, then the box office will definitely not be good - after all, pay for it The people who get the movie tickets are, after all, the parents of the children.
Therefore, Minghu Animation's version of "Hulu Baby" certainly borrowed the settings of "Hulu Brothers", but the entire movie and the entire story are completely original.
However, if there is no object for imitation and reference, Li Qian does not have much confidence in whether such a work can be done well and whether it can open a door for domestic animated films.
Of course, the more so, the more serious it is.
This animation has been done for about a year and a half, and the entire production cost, even if the technical upgrades that can be recycled and other aspects are put aside, has reached more than 80 million!
That is to say, it is more expensive than any live-action film or TV series that Minghu Culture has produced so far - including future publicity and distribution, it has spent more than 100 million yuan before entering the cinema!
Such a film is extremely stressful for Minghu Animation, which was produced for the first time.
Because if it is not done well, the market will not become popular, and it will definitely lose money!
Of course, every time Li Qian held a meeting before this, he would repeatedly emphasize that he should not be afraid of losing money!
But the problem is here. If this animated film cannot be prosperous, and if the box office loses money, then how can we open a door for domestic animated films?
…………
Beginning on October 29, Li Qian completely threw away "The Matrix", which had completed the shooting stage, and threw himself into Minghu Animation.
The story was originally written by Li Qian, and after everyone's collective efforts and repeated discussions, the picture took nearly 20 months to carefully process frame by frame.
Watch it again, watch it again, watch it again.
Li Qian's heart was full of anticipation and anxiety.
But in the end, the next morning, he made the final decision, and this version will not be changed.
When the news came out, Minghu Animation was full of jubilation.
This means that with their investment of more than a year, their first work since the company's official establishment has officially announced the completion of the production phase~www.wuxiaspot.com~ The staff should be on vacation and the bonus should be issued. bonus.
At the same time, its entire publicity and distribution plan was brought up again for discussion.
If it is to be released, there is nothing to say in China. The works directed by Li Qian have invested more than 100 million yuan, the first domestic animated film, the new interpretation of the ink animation that has amazed the world, and so on. The film and television distribution department of Minghu Culture has various Various promotional and distribution options.
If Li Qian can come forward and hold his own little prince and little princess, then the topic will be even higher.
Moreover, because Li Qian and Minghu Culture have successively sold so many movies in the past, they have almost never had a bad box office record, so although they will be hesitant about animated movies, various domestic theaters will still buy it. ——Who made this Li Qian's work!
Even the schedule can be chosen casually by Minghu Culture!
As long as Li Qian likes which schedule, then no problem, I can give you the schedule that was originally planned to be given to other films, reduce the schedule of other films, and give you more money!
But the problem is that Li Qian wants to arrange for the film to be released simultaneously around the world during Christmas, which will be a bit difficult to achieve in North America.
Because the Oriental Dream Film Company in the United States is temporarily unable to release a film on a large scale in North America, and according to John Days's suggestion, it is best to release this type of family fun, especially this kind of animated film, obviously It's Disney.
However, this year's Christmas season, Disney has its own animated film to be released!
At this time, they are obviously unwilling to arrange another animated film with almost the same audience orientation to be released to grab the box office.
