Perfect Life

Qi Jie left the next day.

Liao Liao stayed for two more days, and then he was able to stretch his legs, and then flew back to Los Angeles.

The rest of the time, and Li Qian, finally belonged to Xie Bing alone.

In fact, it was only a few days, but Xie Bing was still satisfied.

Then she flew away too.

Li Qian also only delayed in Paris for a while, deliberately one day later than Xie Bing, met with John Dyce, and the next day's plane also flew back to Shuntianfu.

At this time in the Chinese entertainment industry, the shock brought by "The Matrix" has not completely subsided, but "Dragon Inn" has completely occupied the attention and heated discussion of all the people.

The film was released three weeks ago, and the domestic box office exceeded 400 million.

Moreover, it has achieved quite dazzling box office results in Japan, South Korea, and several countries in Southeast Asia, and regardless of whether it is domestic or foreign, as long as it is released, the word-of-mouth is good!

As Xie Bing said, Jin Han was a god.

A lot of media praised him to the sky.

Some people named Li Qian, Jin Han, Wu Han, and Lu Ping as the four major directors of the academy, and some people called Jin Han, Du Weiyun and Liu Chengzhang together, thinking that "Dragon Inn" has a series of martial arts giants with Du Weiyun to some extent. The same texture and feelings, and different from Du Weiyun, Jin Han and Liu Chengzhang are the kind of directors who are good at telling a good story wrapped in exquisite shots and sultry feelings.

Of course, the company also began to call Li Qian, Jin Han, Zhao He and Feng Bicheng the "Four Great Kings". When Qi Jie's office heard her say this nickname, Li Qian was stunned for a long time, and Qi Jie smiled. long time.

Of course, the director is famous in the industry, but for the vast majority of ordinary audiences, the most reliable film for them to remember is the actor.

He Yingyu's fire is self-evident.

From the savage girlfriend of the year, the **** hit girl in "The Matrix", to the coquettish proprietress Jin Xiangyu in "Dragon Inn", it can be said that among the actresses in the Chinese entertainment industry today, no one can be more popular than her!

Cheng Su** and Zhou Zhiyu all jumped up a level suddenly with the popularity of the movie.

Among the younger generation of film students in China, Zhou Baoshan and Zhou Zhiyu are known as "two weeks".

And less than a week after the film was released, Cheng Su** received a call from Zhang Zifang, a well-known domestic female director, and she said, "You have a charming and neutral temperament!"

She wanted to invite Cheng Su** to audition for her film in the pipeline.

It is said to be the story of two girls.

When calling Cheng Su**, she said that she was actively inviting Fu Hongxue to play another role.

Fu Hongxue didn't know what the reaction would be, but Cheng Su** here, Li Qian's first reaction to the call was, "Push it! Don't answer! I don't want others to see you without clothes!"

Cheng Su couldn't help laughing.

Of course she made the call on purpose.

In fact, from the personal positioning of Cheng Su** in Minghu culture, to the roles that Cheng Su** has played in these years, and even from the positioning of several products she is currently endorsed, she is absolutely not allowed to accept. It's easy to say that such a movie character is in Europe and America, but in China, in the Chinese cultural circle, this kind of same-sex theme is simply a sure death.

And she herself is obviously not interested in this kind of film that takes the side of the sword.

What kind of education did Cheng Su receive from childhood to adulthood?

That is the most typical and orthodox oriental traditional education!

Although she was somewhat rebellious a few years ago, in the final analysis, she is still a very traditional girl who promotes a lot of things in Western society. In fact, it is not only her, but many young people in China do not recognize it. .

As for what Zhang Zifang said will hit Cannes, Cheng Su** expressed that it is not uncommon!

I don’t know if Zhang Zifang feels that she is really not good at making popular commercial films. In recent years, the overall trend of the domestic film industry is that it is more and more inclined to go to the market and the box office. The tide of commercialization is simply overwhelming. But instead, she began to value several major European film festivals more than in previous years!

Therefore, she now even wants to try her way of shooting homosexual subjects!

Sometimes Li Qian can't help but wonder: Could it be that he and Jin Han have made a name for themselves in the European art film circle, which made Zhang Zifang, who had been obsessed with this area for more than ten years, become more and more uneasy. Convinced? Because of this, he became more and more addicted to being unable to extricate himself?

But her current path seems to be about to find her own way of death. Of course, Li Qian can't allow her little sister to accompany her to jump down.

Not only that, he also subconsciously began to consider another question.

Over the past few years, Zhang Zifang and her small and fresh films have always been a clear stream in Chinese films and a banner for Chinese female filmmakers.

But now, she herself is going to a dead end, isn't it time for the Chinese film industry to have another female director who can carry the banner of female narrative films?

…………

On September 14, after 45 days in theaters, "The Matrix" officially rolled off the assembly line in North America. In the end, this popular Chinese sci-fi blockbuster in North America won an astonishing $545 million at the box office in North America. It not only temporarily ranked first in the North American annual box office chart in 2004, but also jumped to third in the North American historical box office chart. Second only to "Titanic" and "Star Wars" first.

Before and after, the film has also been released in Europe, Latin America and many other places around the world. Only in a very few countries such as China, this film has obtained the right to extend the screening period.

In China, it will even be shown until December. Of course, after entering the middle and late September, no matter how powerful the film is, after all, it has been released for more than 40 days. It can be said that there are still many audiences willing to join in the long-term screening of the remaining more than 100 canvases every day, and each of these screenings is basically the pure profit of the distributor and the theater chain!

When a few months passed and the film finally ended its full release in China, which officially ended its release in all markets around the world, it achieved multiple successes in one fell swoop.

In the end, it won the first place in the 2004 North American film box office rankings, and the third place in the North American historical box office. With the final result of 1.045 billion yuan, it became the first work in the Chinese film market to break the one billion yuan box office. Of course, it is also a matter of course. It became the No. 1 box office in China's domestic film history.

The film's worldwide box office ended up being $1.63 billion.

Second only to "Titanic", more than the first "Jurassic Park", won the second place in the global historical box office list!

"The Matrix" undoubtedly became the number one buzzword in the global film market and cultural entertainment market in 2004. Zhou Baoshan's Neo image in the film became popular all over the world.

Later in the same period, the martial arts giant "Dragon Inn" directed by Jin Han, director of film and television of Minghu Culture, took over the magic wand from "The Matrix" and began to quickly become popular in the pan-Chinese cultural circle including China. In China, in Japan, in South Korea, in Singapore, in Thailand, and throughout Southeast Asia, the film quickly set off an extremely high viewing craze for local audiences.

Of course, unlike the film's popularity in the above-mentioned regions, this film has been introduced to the seven European film markets and North American markets for screening, but the response was mediocre. It is true that he has a vision and judgment that is beyond ordinary people.

Those complicated intrigues, in the eyes of the Chinese, will be very enjoyable, but in the eyes of the vast majority of viewers in Europe and the United States, they find it unpleasant at all, and many people even say that they are dazed.

It's not a big deal, but it's not a big gain.

In the end, the film was shown in hundreds of theaters in North America. In just one week, the size of the show was reduced to only a hundred or so, and it was drawn down just after the film was released for a month.

It grossed $7.85 million in North America.

The distributors Columbia Pictures and Oriental Dream Films are sure to lose money for the promotion and distribution of this film, which cost a total of nearly 10 million US dollars!

But losing money is temporary.

With the release of the movie's DVD, it is impossible to make money back as soon as possible, but after a few months of selling, the two companies discovered that the movie's theatrical distribution rights and the DVD distribution rights were packaged. The operation has already begun to generate profits.

The situation in Europe is much better than the situation in North America. During the theatrical release period, there are only profits and losses. When the DVD is released, it basically starts to see profits.

Of course, although it did not play well in Europe and the United States, it did not detract from the dazzling status of "Dragon Inn" in the Chinese film industry. The final domestic box office was 710 million yuan, becoming second only to "The Matrix" and "The Gate of Life and Death". , and the global box office is 520 million US dollars, which also makes the film's global box office enter the top five of the global box office rankings of Chinese movies in one fell swoop!

From this film, Jin Han jumped into one of the most famous digital directors in the country in one fell swoop.

During the same period, unlike the global popularity of "The Matrix", and the strength of "Dragon Inn" sweeping the pan-Chinese cultural circle, Liu Chengzhang has always been very low-key when he came with the masterpiece "Flying Sky", which he has been working on for several years. The box office of the movie also seems to have not brought any surprises to people from the beginning.

When it was released, "The Matrix" swept everything before it passed. After two or three weeks of its release, "The Matrix" finally became less majestic, and "Dragon Inn" is here again!

However, when the film went offline at the end of September, many people were surprised to find that although it never exploded from beginning to end, the film's smooth box office trend was simply surprising. "At that time, it was so high and so low that it was scary!

So in the end, it was screened every week, and it didn't seem to show any dazzling performances. But when it was released, the film won more than 440 million yuan in one fell swoop. Yuan's box office surpassed "The Swordsman and the Monk" and "Sword Immortal" in one fell swoop, becoming the highest-grossing movie of all Liu Chengzhang's works! And, despite the investment of over 100 million, it is still profitable!

After its final box office was released, Hu Fei specially prepared a drink for Liu Chengzhang to celebrate, and also invited Li Qian over, and the media were even more emotional: Liu Chengzhang is back!

Of course, that's all for later.

On the third day after Li Qian returned from France, Lu Lingxi and Han Shunzhang came together.

Now that Li Qian, Jin Han, Zhao He, Feng Bicheng, etc. have all put their minds on the movie, the two of them, a man and a woman, are basically the two top players in Minghu Culture who are responsible for the TV series.

The "Da Ming Palace Ci" directed by Lu Lingxi appeared on a program of Huaxia TV in May this year. The ratings were quite good, especially the word of mouth, which was overwhelming.

And "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" directed by Han Shunzhang was launched on Huaxia TV in August. It has the readership of the original book, and the original author is Li Qian. The viewership of this TV series can be imagined. Han Shunzhang's directing skills are there. As soon as the TV series came out, it naturally became popular~www.wuxiaspot.com~ It can be said that the film and television department of Minghu Culture began to focus on filming resources and shooting energy to a large extent. Today, it is precisely because of these two TV dramas that Minghu Culture continues to establish its status as the leader of domestic TV dramas.

The two of them are naturally hardworking.

What's more, one of them was Li Qian's department head and had been his teacher for a year, and the other was their counselor, both of whom were very ordinary people.

So, Li Qian made tea himself and entertained them both.

At the same time, Li Qian was also very clear about the intentions of the two of them.

After finishing the later stage of "Da Ming Palace Ci", Lu Lingxi has rested for half a year, and Han Shunzhang's "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" is similar.

The only difference is that Han Shunzhang is the big housekeeper of the Minghu Culture and Film Department. He has a lot of complicated things to do. After finishing the TV series he is in charge of, he is still very busy every day, and it is nothing at all. rest.

Of course, in the final analysis, Han Shunzhang's first identity is the director.

At present, the third film of "Once Upon a Time" has not even been set, and Lu Lingxi is also not interested in playing other roles. Therefore, as a director, she is currently "unemployed".

So, tea was served, and after everyone sat down and chatted briefly, Li Qian asked straight to the point: "Want to start a new show? Movie or TV series?"

Han Shunzhang and Lu Lingxi were surprised to hear the words.

Especially Lu Lingxi, she couldn't help but turn her head to look at Han Shunzhang at this time. If it wasn't for everyone's cooperation for many years, she knew very well how Han Shunzhang was, and she had absolute trust in his character. She couldn't help but doubt at this time. Did he greet Li Qian in advance? (Tianjin Novel Network https://)
