Perfect Life

The weather in late September and early October makes the Great Wall a good place to visit.

Accompanied by several staff members, Hu Fei and Qin Wei boarded the Great Wall at Xifengkou.

Relevant state departments are currently renovating the Great Wall here. It is said that it will be opened to the outside world in about a year or two. It is also possible to see that some staff are busy and don’t know anything.

Anyway, the matter of making money, in fact, the country is quite active.

Qin Wei's manager, Du Chengbang, stood on a crenel and glanced down. He seemed to be feeling a little passionate. He couldn't help but say to Qin Wei: "Boss, look, go down here, if this is a confrontation, it is Isn't it particularly hot to shoot?"

Qin Wei turned his head and glanced at the direction he said, but he didn't mean to be excited, he just nodded slowly, and then continued to frown and think hard.

Hu Fei glanced back at a few staff members who were not far away, and then looked at Qin Wei, thinking that he was worrying about other problems, so he walked over and whispered, "It's not easy to win, but it doesn't matter, If you want to shoot the real scene here, I will definitely help you get it. Those battle scenes must depend on post-production special effects, we can't really destroy the Great Wall, can we!"

Qin Wei turned his head to look at him, nodded again, but still didn't speak.

Hu Fei was a little surprised.

Today, everyone drove such a long way, just to come and see if this place is suitable for shooting and framing, but everyone was very excited, but Qin Wei didn't say a word. What does it mean?

He wanted to ask, but at this time, there were six or seven people who were traveling with him, so he temporarily suppressed the doubts in his heart. Seeing Qin Wei continuing to walk forward, he just followed behind, thinking about asking when he went back. What was he thinking about.

As a result, he came in high spirits, but because Qin Wei looked like he was not in the mood, he seemed to be a little disappointed. When the group went down, Hu Fei deliberately fell behind, distanced himself from the others, and followed Qin Wei. Wei said, "Let Lao Gu come along today. He can also help you conceive and conceive the scene and so on."

The old Gu he said was Qin Wei's hard-core partner, a well-known top domestic photographer, Gu Shidao.

But these words still failed to wake Qin Wei, he still just said "um", and he still didn't seem to have the slightest intention to speak.

Hu Fei was bored again, so he had no choice but to walk down.

After returning to the foot of the mountain, Qin Wei said that he would not look at it, and the group drove back on the same road.

On Hu Fei's luxurious run, when the car was on its way, he finally couldn't help but ask, "What's the matter? Why are you so listless?"

Qin Wei rubbed his chin. The impressive wrinkles on his thin and thin face for the past six months were constantly changing in shape by his rubbing. After a while, he suddenly asked, "How's the progress over Xiaojing's side? ?"

Hu Fei scratched his head and said helplessly: "What else can I do, grind it! It's really good that Xiaojing learned from you the attitude of making movies, but he just didn't learn your ability! No way, the whole crew will accompany you. Play with her!"

After a pause, he said, "Fortunately, I called Lao Gu yesterday. According to what he meant, it is currently on the right track. The shooting cycle will probably not be delayed for too long."

Qin Wei made another "um" and nodded.

Hu Fei was simply helpless.

It was this man who said he wanted to come and see this section of the Great Wall at Xifengkou, but it was this man who didn't say a word from beginning to end after he came.

You just can't get angry with him!

I can only stay with him in a daze.

However, on the other hand, it is a good thing.

Hu Fei still clearly remembers that this sentence was more than ten years ago. Qin Wei has been hailed as the most outstanding work "Red Light District" so far. One day, this grandfather took him with him, and the two ran to a small county town hundreds of miles away, on the "Massage Silk Foot Street" that eventually appeared in the movie. more than half a month.

You know, in order to prepare for that film, Mr. Qin had been in many small counties for a long time, but he still felt that it was not enough, so he pulled himself up and continued to find a street to visit, observe, and spend money. Chat with those girls. Then, in a daze.

Therefore, every time he turned his head and saw him leaning on his seat in a daze, Hu Fei couldn't help thinking: "It seems that Lao Qin is going to play big this time! I hope "The Great Wall" can shoot the momentum of "Red Light District", "The Matrix"...well, if you can't get that level, the box office of "Life and Death" will be fine! Just don't be like "Golden Terrace"!"

Suddenly, Qin Wei turned his head to look over and asked, "How is the connection with the United States?"

Hu Fei's eyes lit up when he heard the words, and immediately said: "No problem! First-tier and super-tier-one, we can't invite them, but those who are emerging from the second-tier, and even two of them are close to the first-tier. When I heard that it was your movie, and it was a plan Everyone has expressed interest in making a global-style costume special effects blockbuster, and some even said they were looking forward to receiving an audition invitation!"

Qin Wei nodded slowly when he heard the words.

Hu Fei said with a smile: "Speaking of which, I have to thank Li Qian. The Matrix became a hit, and many large Hollywood production companies were impressed by the production capabilities of Chinese films. His popularity is not only popular. Zhou Baoshan and He Yingyu, even with many companies, are interested in Chinese films. You are an international director, and you have had the great success of "The Gate of Life and Death". This time, it is a story that decided to internationalize operations. Of course , they all expressed interest. Tell you, if you didn't agree, I could talk to a few companies in the United States now about North American distribution."

This time Qin Wei smiled. He could hear the pride in Hu Fei's words.

This is proud, but also makes him feel a little comfort.

Although "Golden Terrace" is a bit of a smashing halberd, coupled with the fact that Li Qian's side has been selling one after another in recent years, it seems that he is not as beautiful as before, but as long as China is mentioned Movies, mentioning Chinese directors, and their own names are still inescapable.

That's great!

This shows that as long as I make this film well, even if I look at the global market, I still have the power to fight!

but……

It seemed that he felt that the topic had opened up a bit, and seeing the long-lost smile on Qin Wei's face, Hu Fei couldn't help but ask again: "I think you are very wrong today, what's the matter?"

Qin Wei thought for a while and said, "I don't think it's going to work."

Hu Fei was stunned for a moment, "It's not good? What's not good? You mean the section of Xifengkou? It's okay, where else do you want to go, let's go and see it! Until we find something you're satisfied with!"

After saying this, Hu Fei clearly saw Qin Wei pursing his lips, frowning and shaking his head.

Then, he said, "I mean, I think...I think the story of The Great Wall...is not very good!"

Hu Fei was a little confused.

In the story of "The Great Wall", Qin Wei put forward the outline of the main plot. Although it is still in the stage of polishing the script, it is all details. The main plot is determined by Qin Wei, and he especially wants to shoot those few Large-scale battle scenes are obviously impossible.

According to the plan and timetable agreed upon by everyone, around the end of the year, the script will be finalized while the location survey will be selected. At the same time, Hu Fei will also be responsible for contacting a top special effects company in Hollywood. From the filming period, The special effects company will follow up with the film simultaneously. Filming will start in March and April, and it will be finished before the end of June. By the end of the year, it will be released simultaneously around the world!

Even as he himself said, he is now contacting North American distributors and Hollywood stars to audition!

It can be said that around the project of "The Great Wall" proposed by Qin Wei, the entire Huafei Film and Television has been fully activated in less than a month. Like a sophisticated and huge machine, it has begun to run at full speed. At that time, Qin Wei actually said that the story of "The Great Wall" was not very good?

Hu Fei was stunned for a while, looked at Qin Wei carefully, and asked, "Then what do you mean? Change the team, overthrow and rewrite the script? Or..."

Qin Wei shook his head.

As soon as he shook his head, Hu Fei's heart kept falling.

Qin Wei said: "I have looked back and pondered over and over again. The idea of ​​"The Great Wall" is not false, but I am a little unsure about whether a story like this can be made true or not. Things, good things are coming! I always feel like…”

Hu Fei couldn't wait to interrupt him, "My lord Qin, this is a commercial film! We are selling special effects, and we are selling your scheduling of scenes and scenes! Don't think about giving me depth in this kind of commercial film. Really, this is not "Red Light District"! If you want to play this kind of film with depth, it will kill people!"

Qin Wei frowned a little displeasedly when he heard the words, and said, "It's a commercial film, but I think... how should I put it, I think this story and plot are a little... a little..."

Hu Fei interrupted him again, "Didn't we all discuss it! Foreign audiences, we sold them the majestic buildings of China, the Great Wall! In addition, we don't care about money, but we smashed the big scenes vigorously, and also If there is a Hollywood superstar they like to play the leading role, they will definitely like to watch it! Domestic audiences, what we sell to them is you, your pictures, and your scheduling ability, which are all top-notch! Plus the special effects are better , no problem, our domestic audience, eat this set!"

Hearing this, Qin Wei shook his head and said, "I don't know what to do!"

Hu Fei was speechless.

At this time, Qin Wei said: "I look back now, although "The Gate of Life and Death" had a good box office, "Golden Terrace" was a hit! That is to say, my feeling about this kind of commercial film may not be right! I again In the past, I deduced some special effects blockbusters in Hollywood, as well as Li Qian's "Once Upon a Time" and "The Matrix". I think the reason why they sell well is that, like "The Matrix", a Chinese movie, Chinese hero and heroine, It sells so well in North America and all over the world, first of all because it has a very good story setting! In comparison, I always feel that the story of "The Great Wall" is a bit different!"

Hu Fei frowned and thought about it for a long time, then said helplessly: "Then what should we do? This story was brought up by you. Otherwise, after we go back, we will gather a group of people, hold a meeting, and re-examine a new version of the story?"

Qin Wei scratched his head and did not speak.

Hu Fei said: "Then we can't go to Li Qian to ask for the book? You know, you and him..."

Qin Wei waved his hand, "That's not true! I'm not going to ask others for stories!"

Hu Fei spread his hands, "That's it!"

Qin Wei thought for a while, and said, "I was walking on this section of the Great Wall just now, and I suddenly thought, isn't it a bit... not good if we use Chinese history, and the Great Wall, to make up this new story of resisting the invasion of monsters? "

He waved his palms and said, "I mean, it's too absurd to stand up?"

Hu Fei immediately said: "How could it be! Then the pyramids are always blown up in American movies? It's only been a few years since special effects films became popular, so just watch, among the big cities in the United States, which city has not been bombarded? Has it been bombed? There are still vampires and werewolves living everywhere in the United States. Don’t the audience like to watch them too? I haven’t heard of anyone who thinks that there are still vampires and werewolves in modern society. What’s absurd? Even Chinese audiences love to watch them. !"

This also makes sense!

Qin Wei frowned for a moment after hearing this, and nodded slowly.

But soon, he said again: "I was thinking... Should I make a better literary film first, then make a romance film! The cost is low, and it's something I'm good at, so I don't need to make it this time. Sad, it's a little more youthful and beautiful to shoot, won't it be more secure?"

Hu Fei was speechless.

After a while, he said: "Blockbuster! Blockbuster! My master Qin, I know that as long as you are willing to shoot, even if you randomly get two new actors to go up and let them sit in front of the camera and talk about love for an hour and a half, some audiences are willing to watch it. But what we need now is to make blockbusters! Only blockbusters can get high box office, only blockbusters can make you proud and stand up again! Only blockbusters can open our foreign markets and let you speak on a global scale , and become a top international director who is no less humble than Li Qian!"

"Low cost? I don't need you to save me the cost! Shooting a literary film? No matter how good it is, how much can it sell for? "Red Light District" was popular enough at the beginning, and it didn't sell for a few dollars in Europe, and even more in North America. Don't move! "Red Sorghum" is also popular enough, but still can't go abroad? Only a blockbuster like "The Matrix", and it has become a big hit in the world, can really achieve Li Qian's status as an international director!"

Qin Wei nodded, but still said: "But now I don't have enough confidence in this story and this movie! I'm afraid that if I invest such a large cost, I will lose it again..."

Once again, before he could finish speaking, Hu Fei had already waved his hand violently and said, "No case! This story is very good, the ancestors of China already joined hands with foreign compatriots to resist the invasion of monsters in ancient times~www.wuxiaspot. com~ And our ancestors have built such a great building as the Great Wall! This idea is absolutely reliable! After the filming, I am very confident that you will also successfully enter the North American market and create a purer than "The Gate of Life and Death". better box office results for China Story!"

Having said this, he soothed: "I said, Mr. Qin, don't worry about it, you can just go and shoot! If the script is not satisfied, the story is not satisfied, let's find more screenwriters and top-notch writers. Let's grind it slowly until you are satisfied! Actor, whoever you want, as long as I can find it for you, we don't care about the pay! Whoever you want, we'll find someone!"

"I don't believe that we can still lose this one!"

"I believe in your abilities!"

Qin Wei rubbed his chin again, and after a long time, he finally nodded.

"That's it! Then do it!"
