Perfect Life

On August 24, 2004, Shuntianfu, Minghu Cinema.

Minghu Culture held a grand premiere ceremony for "Dragon Inn".

In addition to the main cast of the crew, Jin Han, Zhou Zhiyu, He Yingyu, and Cheng Suping, Minghu Culture also came out in full force. Li Qian and Qi Jie were both present in person to stand for the film.

Many directors, actors, singers, etc. in the industry also came to cheer.

This summer, the blockbusters of domestic films have been smashed one after another, but except for "The Matrix", the box office seems to be less than ideal - because "The Matrix" is too dazzling.

Since June, Zhao Meicheng's "Blood", Wu Han's "Laughing Heroes", and Guo Yulong's "Beacon Fire Show Princes" have all failed to meet everyone's prior expectations.

Of course, Li Qian's "The Matrix" was an explosion, and it was a global explosion, but then, Liu Chengzhang's "Flying Sky" was under the double pressure of "The Matrix" and "Jurassic Park 2", although the overall box office situation It's not bad, at least it can't be regarded as a hit on the street. Looking at it now, it will get more than 500 million box office by the time it is released. It is not a big problem. It can be considered a success, but it is helpless compared with "The Matrix". Ideal.

Now, it's Jin Han's "Dragon Inn".

As competitors, "Flying Sky", which was released on August 8, and "The Matrix", which is still in theaters, are all that "Dragon Inn" has to face.

Liu Chengzhang is still leading a team outside to run the "Flying" publicity and roadshow, and he will definitely not be able to come back, but Fang Baijin, as the producer of "Dragon Inn", rushed over on time to attend the premiere of the film.

Moreover, he rarely took the initiative to stand beside Jin Han, Zhou Zhiyu, He Yingyu, Cheng Suping and other main creators, and together with Qin Nuo, the production manager, stood in the reception hall at the door and was responsible for welcoming the guests.

Not long ago, considering that it was very pleasant to cooperate with each other, especially that Li Qian had always shown extreme appreciation for himself, and that Minghu Culture was indeed getting bigger and bigger, and the future was bright, so Fang Baijin finally agreed to use Minghu Culture. The position of art planning in the film and television department officially joined Minghu Culture.

The job position of art planning did not exist before he came, and he was alone when he came. In terms of work attributes, he is directly under the leadership of art director Li Qian.

…………

A good movie market with a large overall volume can give more movies, more types and styles of movies better opportunities, and it is more hopeful to promote the diversification of the entire movie industry and form a kind of flourishing. The situation, because everyone can find their own jobs in this market.

But on the other hand, there must be good movies constantly appearing, constantly attracting old audiences to the movies again and again, and pulling in new audiences, so as to stimulate the development and expansion of the entire movie market. A large and healthy film market.

The two complement each other and promote each other.

No matter which side loses the chain, it will cause damage to the other side.

In addition, there is no need to say about that time and space. With the entry of many traditional directors and joining the chase for the box office, the scene instructors are not small, but the quality of the film is really difficult to satisfy everyone, so it greatly hit the audience. The enthusiasm for buying tickets and watching movies has also led to the rapid expansion of the movie market after a period of time, followed by a sharp decline in the market, and even continued to hover at a low point for several years.

The so-called five and six generations of directors of the older generation have lost their soldiers in this wave, and have been filmed half-dead by the commercialization of the film market. Then, when a new generation of directors grew up, the market began to come alive again, and with the rapid development of the domestic economy, the film market began to develop rapidly and surprisingly after 2008.

To be honest, many successful commercial genre films, as well as many successful directors, grew rapidly at this time, and the Chinese film industry began to take on a new look.

In the current time and space, although the entire domestic film market has experienced a wave of adjustments and shocks, the overall trend is moving forward, especially since the "Life and Death" and "Once Upon a Time" in 2002, the market has There are shocks, but in general, the speed of development and expansion is very fast, and it even gives many people a feeling that they are about to explode and develop.

In this, although the entire market is developing rapidly, and one after another box-office film has appeared, giving people a feeling that Chinese films are booming, but in fact, Li Qian's personal role here is too great.

Once the Minghu Culture series is stripped out, it will be found that the historical development trends are really strikingly similar - even if they are not in the same time and space at all.

Many directors of the old wave have been on the street one after another in the past two or three years.

It may be too early to say that they have been eliminated completely, but in this turbulent wave of commercial films and box office films, many directors of the previous generation have indeed begun to fall behind.

Qin Wei and Du Weiyun all rushed forward one after another.

Zhao Meicheng's first commercial blockbuster "Blood" was released in time for June 12. By the end of July, it had already been offline, and the box office results could not be considered a complete blowout, but compared to its investment, especially compared to According to Zhao Meicheng's brilliance in advance, the harvest is not gratifying, and it is estimated that it is just to keep the capital.

This was greatly beyond Zhao Meicheng and Yuan Ke's expectations.

Even Liu Chengzhang, who was recognized as one of the first successful commercial directors in China, had a miserable "Sword Immortal".

In sharp contrast, a group of new directors began to rise rapidly in this wave of the market.

This of course includes Wu Han, who has been wasted for many years before, but more, of course, is the Minghu director group headed by Li Qian.

Li Qian, Feng Bicheng, Zhao He.

"My Sassy Girl", "Once Upon a Time", "Red Sorghum", "Big Shot", "Once Upon a Time in Man", "The Matrix".

It is no exaggeration to say that it is they, and their batch of films, that have propped up the Chinese film market in the past two years, especially the face of domestic films.

It is precisely because of their existence and rise that the domestic film market has fluctuated, but it has not experienced a huge decline and a long-term trough like in another time and space. It has also caused the old generation of domestic film directors to slip in front of the market. Not so shocking.

New flesh grew rapidly, covering the huge wound.

But among these people, there is no Jin Han.

He was a filmmaker who had in-depth cooperation with Minghu Culture before Li Qian got involved in the film and television industry. At that time, Li Qian's studio and Minghu Culture were the original creators, and he was in charge of Liao Liao and He Runqing's v. Minghu Culture is involved in film and television. As the company's entrepreneurial work, "Legend of the New White Snake" is the director of photography and personally filmed by him. And the film and television department of Minghu Culture has not even been established, and he is already the company's film and television director appointed by Li Qian.

For this qualification, let alone people like Feng Bicheng and Zhao He who came here halfway through, and even Han Shunzhang, who is also a veteran, is difficult to photograph. At the time of filming "The Legend of the New White Snake", Jin Han was the director of photography. He was a character who often yelled at Li Qian at the table. At that time, Han Shunzhang only existed as the big housekeeper of the crew and served them. His status in the crew was even inferior to that of the heroine Bai Yujing.

Later, he directed "Meteor Garden" and "Full House". He directed many popular TV series for the Minghu Culture Film and Television Department, which was in the rising stage at that time, and became the only one qualified to be on an equal footing with Li Qian at that time He has provoked the heavyweights of the entire Minghu Culture and Film Department.

Han Shunzhang, Zhao He, and later Lu Lingxi, Feng Bicheng, and so on, all these people were assistant directors or production managers at that time, and they were responsible for running errands for him and Li Qian.

However, "On the Road" fluttered.

That was Wang Jinglu's only big-screen movie so far. It was the proprietress of the Minghu family. Being able to cast her as the heroine proved Jin Han's detached status in the Minghu culture at that time.

But that film, word of mouth and box office, were not successful.

Jin Han has been holding his breath for a long time, and the later "Peacock" can be regarded as a reluctance to get his wish. He won the award at Cannes, and he also won a Cannes actress, which is considered a moment of glory.

But the box office failed.

Counting the distribution rights sold in European countries, the film is just back to the original.

But at this time, looking back, Han Shunzhang has risen. He is not only the steady butler of Minghu Culture, Film and Television Department, but also has a series of TV series masterpieces. Next, he will enter the film circle, from Li Qian. The resources that can be obtained, it goes without saying.

Feng Bicheng is already a director of 500 million.

Zhao He took over the "Once Upon a Time" series, and "Men Be Self-improvement" was a great success, with 500 million directors.

Lu Lingxi, another successful female director in China, is also a beautiful director and a talented female director. She is very famous and her plays are very popular. Now within Minghu Culture, she is already recognized as the number one in emotional and delicate women's plays.

and many more.

Oh, by the way, maybe in the near future, there will be another Sun Yuting. Li Qian himself said that the second part of "The Matrix" will probably be handed over to her to take over.

Presumably under the control of Li Qian, the first film has a huge market influence and reputation. As long as the filming of Sun Yuting's sequel is not too bad, it is a proper international director.

As for him, who is he sure, or is he qualified to surpass?

Today, the position of director of Minghu Culture Film and Television, which he is still sitting under his butt, is actually a bit misnamed.

Therefore, after returning from Cannes, he got "Dragon Inn", which he valued very much.

He wanted money and people, and he led people into the desert. From the initial set, he took people to work. In the later filming, he told He Yingyu and the others little by little.

Since the movie was set up within Minghu Culture, he has been in this drama for a year.

Now, the movie is finally coming out.

He knew that if the film was made, he would be in the right position, but if it didn't work out...the director of film and television, even if Li Qian didn't mention it, he didn't have the face to continue sitting down.

So, what is it called?

500 million is the foundation and the beginning, and more than 600 million is considered ideal.

Because even Zhao He and Feng Bi have already made 500 million in Chengdu, let’s not talk about the domestic film market, just explain that within the film and television department of Lake Culture, if you are less than 500 million, are you embarrassed to say that you have succeeded?

But 500 million!

There are only a few movies with over 500 million domestic movies!

He is not Li Qian!

Although the script of "Dragon Inn" was written by Li Qian, Fang Baijin was pulled over by Li Qian to be a producer. There is no doubt that he wanted to set up a fence for the filming of the film, but the film is still his own after all.

Jin Han knows very well in his heart that his directing style and picture style are different from anyone else's.

Therefore, with the blessing of Li Qian's gold medal screenwriter, the story really made him unable to help but praise and praise the movie, but when the film is about to be released, if he really needs to accept the verification of the market, Jin Han is very confused. .

The guests are almost here~www.wuxiaspot.com~ He pushed the door and walked into the conference room specially set up on the first floor of Minghu Studios, ready to smoke a cigarette and take a rest, but as soon as he entered, he saw Li Qian being surrounded by a large number of people. surrounded.

With a smile, Jin Han knew that when "The Matrix" became a global hit, Li Qian's accumulation of several years and several movies in the past has now completely erected a signboard.

When it comes to Chinese movies before, Qin Wei must be mentioned.

Later, when it comes to Chinese movies, Qin Wei and Li Qian are all great directors, because they both won the grand prize to prove their strength, and they both won the unprecedented box office sales of domestic movies.

But now, no matter at home or abroad, when it comes to Chinese movies, Li Qian and "The Matrix" must be mentioned.

Li Qian is of course the existence that almost all domestic film and television companies, production companies, theater operators, actors and agents are most willing to pursue.

Even at this time, Han Shunzhang was surrounded by five or six people, chatting lively.

The reason is also very simple. Lao Han is the chief steward of the Minghu Culture and Film Department. "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" has recently become so popular that everyone has said that Lao Han is expected to enter the movie next step.

Such powerful figures and powerful directors are of course the objects that everyone is willing to pursue.

Taking a deep breath, Jin Han thought, "Just watch it!"

Prove yourself, prove your ability to get the box office, prove that you are not out of date, and at the same time prove that you are not a director who only drowns his head in making those literary films that no one sees.

Li Qian's script, the return of Zhou Zhiyu and He Yingyu, the best couple on the big screen in "Sassy Girl", plus Cheng Suping, and the hard work and dedication of the past year.

Jin Han firmly believes that this one, he will definitely be able to do it!

And once this film is completed, he will become the third one after Qin Wei and Li Qian, who can make a literary film that will win awards.
