Perfect Life

Looking back at this time, Li Qian suddenly realized that he had been in this time and space for more than nine years, and he was entering the tenth year.

Looking back on the years that I have traveled through, from the beginning I just wanted to "write songs" for people and make albums to make some money, and then suddenly became popular in the music circle because of Liao Liao, and then I started a business and started Build your own company, release records, make TV series, make movies...

More than nine years!

If he continued to live in another time and space, he would be fifty years old now!

Half a hundred lives, one old man!

If these nine years were spent in the original time and space, I don't know if I have gotten the opportunity to direct independently? Possibly, but at most it is a small-cost TV series, or it may be a network drama that was emerging at the time, and you don't have to think about it, the employer will definitely put a group of people in, and how to guide it, it will not be determined at all. at your will...

However, the money should be made a little bit, and life should be quite moisturizing.

Maybe married or even have children.

In addition to spending a considerable part of the year busy with work, the rest of the time, with my wife and children, should be quite leisurely and comfortable.

And now?

The current self is the most popular person in the Chinese entertainment industry, a singer, rock vocalist, film director, and film actor who has become well-known all over the country and even in the world. The acquisition has even attracted worldwide attention.

Moreover, there are several wives and concubines around, enjoying the blessings of Qi people. In addition, they are even faced with all kinds of temptations and seductions every day.

In the eyes of outsiders, it should have been extremely happy.

It is simply the happiest man in China, and the list of the happiest men in the world is estimated to be on the list!

But busy!

Year after year, tired!

However, if you are obedient and listen to the sound, you can feel that the spitting man next door should be considered a discerning person - at least he seems to understand what he has been doing all these years and what his thoughts are!

This is already rare!

In today's country, everyone is just watching their own hits, making a lot of people popular, making a lot of money, and feeling that they are simply powerful in the entertainment industry!

Otherwise, it is either to report, track and fabricate their own gossip scandals as a profession. According to their statement, in addition to a regular wife and four concubines, they have lovers everywhere, and illegitimate children are all strengthened. Or, it is Think about what you want to shoot, what you will shoot in this film, and what you will shoot in the next film, and then... follow the trend to make money!

I don't know how many things like the "Honker Empire" that the old man said over the years! But Chinese people really eat this set! Just like when "My Sassy Girlfriend" became popular back then, countless small film companies followed suit and filmed the "Savage" series. Although it was impossible to invite Zhou Zhiyu and He Yingyu, they could just find a small student and a small flower to make up the story. Fan, with the name "My Girlfriend Savage".

Even the heroine of the family is called Ke Yingyu, and the word "ke" is printed very small on the poster! What's even more funny is that a girl is also called He Yingyu because of her name, and her appearance is decent, so she has not learned to act for a day, but she has become the heroine of a movie - because when it is released, people can be in the movie theater. Openly play the brand of "He Yingyu" starring!

What can you do?

tell?

People are not afraid of you at all!

The movie cost hundreds of thousands to one or two million, that is, it took a few weeks to a month to finish the filming, cut it and release it. It sold several million at the box office and made a lot of money. I will accompany you in a lawsuit, the first instance, the second instance, the lawsuit has been on for a few years, and the case is closed. The other company declared bankruptcy.

Even many times, behind the company that makes this kind of film, the theater chain is supporting it. They don’t even think about releasing the film in other theaters, so they shoot it themselves, get a release license, and then do it on their own. Filling up the screening halls in the off-season in the movie theaters of 2019, it is simply profitable.

Moreover, that's a theater chain. That kind of company makes some blatantly infringing movies. You don't have to sue for it. Once you sue, the theater chain will be offended to death!

Even in the past year or so, he is no longer afraid of offending anyone, even the cinema! But what should the other party do? Your movie is here and it is released, but the infringement continues to infringe, and the lawsuit should continue to be fought, and you can't do anything about him!

Fortunately, the law is getting better and better.

And for the past six months, it is said that the **** side has begun to close its mouth. Due to a series of special care for Minghu culture, many of them are obviously follow-up movies. From the beginning of the project, the **** side has not After giving you permission to shoot, there will naturally be fewer companies that do this kind of thing.

…………

I don't know when, after the two brothers sitting next door were full, Kan Dashan finally ended. They settled the bill and left, and Li Qian and Cheng Suping were quiet again.

Cheng Suping also poked his head out to look at the other party's back, and asked Li Qian with a smile, "So I'm flattering you so hard, so I won't solicit you? Maybe it's a great talent?"

Li Qian smiled, "It's not necessarily lack of talent, but I think it's a bit too shameless to do that?"

He made a gesture, "If you are good at flattering me, then recruit me! It's shameless!"

Cheng Supin covered his mouth and laughed.

After a meal, there is still half a bottle of red wine left.

Cheng Suping naturally noticed it for a long time. From the moment he heard the fierce dialogue over there, Li Qian was a little out of his mind. At this time, after eating, shaking the red wine glass in her hand, she said with a smile: "You have also heard the comments from others just now, you have done enough! Moreover, their words have actually proved that you did There are still people who can understand things, and there is no shortage of understanding people in China, right?"

Seeing Li Qian nodded, she smiled, "So, don't be so stressed all the time! You are always used to putting so much pressure on yourself, it's like the burden of the rise of Chinese movies, you have to rely on you to do it all alone. The same! No, really no! There will be many smart and discerning people who will stand up behind you one after another to help you share your stress! And you should learn to decompress yourself!"

"Of course you have to keep doing what you have to do. But you don't have to be in a hurry, right?"

Li Qian nodded, picked up the glass, and touched her.

Actually, it was a coincidence.

I haven't seen each other for more than two months. He misses Cheng Suping very much, and finally has a meal together. He really doesn't want to spoil the atmosphere of this moment more than anyone else.

It's just that many of the other party's words were unintentional words, but the feeling of suddenly encountering a bosom friend in a trance caused him to be touched to a certain part of his heart at once.

So, subconsciously, there are some emotions, even some feelings.

At this time, putting down the wine glass, he took the initiative to change the subject, ready to say something happy, so he smiled and said: "Zhou Baoshan has already gone to the United States to record the show, I think the publicity plan done there is quite good, I hope Zhou Baoshan will be here in the United States. One shot, it can really start! If this shot is fired, maybe the worries of the two guys just now will not appear! The box office of "The Matrix" in North America can still go up a lot. cut!"

Cheng Suping laughed when he heard the words, "Right! In fact, you have been doing well enough!"

…………

The two hadn't seen each other for more than two months. After dinner, they returned to Cheng Suping's house and tossed for almost two hours. Cheng Suping could no longer move his little finger, and Li Qian was finally satisfied.

The two of them were finally able to snuggle together and lie quietly for a while.

But even in the state of being a sage, Li Qian couldn't help but think of the conversation between the two people just now—yes, the market in North America does need to be slow, one after another. The delivery can be slowly cultivated. Just like the Hollywood blockbuster that captured the world.

This process is not easy to skip.

But what... If Zhou Baoshan's plan to show kung fu in the United States can really succeed, and it is indeed as he told Cheng Suping, the box office of "The Matrix" is estimated to explode again!

In the history of that other time and space, how did "The Matrix" succeed?

Frankly speaking, when the Wachowski brothers (sisters) made the first film of "The Matrix", the investment was not large, because they were not famous directors. Even in the promotion of the movie, it's hard to say how effective it is!

But it's still red.

The first one got an astonishing $460 million at the global box office!

And the sequel, "The Matrix 2: Reloaded," far surpassed the first one, earning a global box office of $740 million in one fell swoop—you must know that in the early 21st century in another time and space, China's film market can still It's not very powerful, and it can't contribute much at the box office!

So why?

Why did it sell out so much? And why is the second one even more popular than the first?

In the first part, it lacked well-known big directors and heavy investment. In fact, the special effects pictures were also made quite crudely, and when it was released, it was not too optimistic at first. Why did it sell so well without taking the standard blockbuster road?

Even when it was the first part, the global box office of 460 million US dollars in 1999 was already the level of the sky! When the second film was released at the global box office of $740 million, in the 2000s, Hollywood studios and production companies were going to take the Wachowskis to the sky!

Although next, in fact, the two of them (both of them) are getting more and more dead!

The first film suddenly became popular, and the second film far surpassed the first film's big sales. In Li Qian's view, there is actually only one reason: as a commercial film, it has almost achieved the best possible range!

Top stories, top brains, top production and shooting style.

Although the action design is hardly top-notch, it will definitely not hold you back.

The middle part of the plot is slightly delayed, but the rhythm of the storytelling is always online, so that even if you are a little impatient, you will never give up and watch it.

To say it's not enough, the biggest shortcoming of this movie is probably because the crew has no money, so it can't make special special effects - but, it's enough.

And it's super topical.

Cold style, charming brain hole, philosophy full of metaphysical meaning, refreshing bullet time.

Etc., etc.

So why did the second movie box office so much higher than the first?

You know, in the history of Hollywood series movies, the first movie sold well at the box office, so there is a second movie. In the case of the expansion of the market size, it is really not too much.

If so, there must be special circumstances.

Putting on the "Speed ​​and Passion" series, which became popular later, there was a big cow who expanded the expressive power of this series in time when this series was about to fall into a deep valley. In addition, as technology became more and more developed , it gives better visual rendering, etc.

And put it on the second part of "The Matrix", in fact, there is one reason: the first part was too successful, and the word of mouth was very good, but in fact, when many audiences responded, it was already offline, and everyone could no longer watch it. Arrived, so, when its second part was not low, the box office exploded, far exceeding the first!

In fact, if its first film was operated by a large company at the beginning, and the hardware configuration such as promotion and release was fully provided, its box office potential would definitely be more than 460 million.

Because as a commodity that attracts people to go to the cinema to pay for tickets, it is really worth the fare, and it will attract many people to buy tickets again and again!

At this time and space, I personally created the first part of "The Matrix".

The preparatory period was one year and three months, and various efforts were made to the extreme. The special effects company was its own, and within the scope of the script and the story, it must have presented top-level effects.

In addition to the fact that the hero and heroine are Chinese, even if I look back at this work myself, I will feel that it is only better than the original, and it will never be inferior.

Moreover, the market treatment of this version of "The Matrix" ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ is beyond the reach of it in another time and space.

The US$50 million distribution and publicity budget in North America is handled by a top company like Columbia Pictures, and because it is the work of its own boss, it will definitely be very attentive!

On a global scale, its total distribution and publicity expenses will definitely exceed 100 million US dollars.

In North America, as a well-known figure, he has his own appeal. In China, East Asia and Southeast Asia, this appeal has even reached the top level and unparalleled level! And even in Europe and other places, with the award-winning movie "Red Sorghum", with the role of the lead singer of the four beauties and the singer of the theme song of the 2002 World Cup, he has an influence that ordinary directors cannot reach.

So, in fact, the bottleneck is this: the hero and heroine are oriental faces!

The countermeasures and propaganda plans proposed by the United States are actually quite the right way. Therefore, we must look at Zhou Baoshan and see if the American audience is really as fascinated by Chinese Kung Fu as they have shown in the past. !

However, Americans believe in the principle of supremacy of strength, which is definitely true!

So, Li Qian told himself again in his heart: there is still hope!

***

Yesterday, many of my friends had a lot of opinions. Even good friends gave me the nickname "Water Farming". It is said that shouting a few more times can relieve qi, relieve fatigue, clear heat and detoxify? In fact, let me tell you the truth, if you are really disgusted with water and can't read it any more, just put it aside. You will see the people's hearts after a long time, and you should read the book if it is good. Don't get angry with a book, it's not worth it. If you want to raise it, raise it, if you want to abandon it, then abandon it. If you feel happy, we will watch it, and if you are not happy, we will not watch it. Is this the reason?

If you really don't want to raise it, and you have to follow it, or you can call me "Water Farming", maybe I can calm down?
