Perfect Life

At the celebration banquet, Li Qian met many people and talked a lot.

Of course, I didn't drink too much wine.

After the official relocation of the news department of Xunfei Group, Wang Jinglu has been preparing for pregnancy very carefully, so in fact, during this period of time, although Wang Jinglu did not ask Li Qian to change or pay attention to this, Li Qian still consciously put the cigar Stopped and seldom drank alcohol.

Then, when the celebration feast was about to end, Qi Jie distributed the prepared red envelopes totaling 3 million to the cast and crew of "Red Sorghum" one by one.

A jubilation!

You must know that the total investment of "Red Sorghum" is only 12 million, and the part spent on the remuneration and wages of the cast members is only more than 3 million to less than 4 million, and Li Qian is even free. acted.

Now the three million shots vary according to each person's contribution to the crew, and the size of the red envelope varies, but for everyone, it is a considerable amount of income.

So, everyone is happy.

Before the end of the game, a large group of people were still eating, drinking and laughing. Li Qian had already got up and was about to leave. As for the two children, they had been carried home by their respective mothers long ago.

Huang Ge came over and babbled for a long time, as if he wanted to say something, but in the end, he didn't say anything, Li Qian just smiled, patted him on the shoulder, and didn't ask anything.

Li Qian is a person who cherishes talents.

It may be a bit nonsense to say this, and it may even make people feel a little hypocritical and contrived, but I have to admit that, with the huge advantages of another time and space, such as the huge amount of music, TV series, movies, etc., to this time and space, he has been in this time and space. He strives to present the wonderful works in his mind to the Chinese people in this time and space in the most perfect way possible. Teacher, wait, all those who are engaged in these arts do not look down on them, do not have the slightest competitive mentality, let alone any intention to suppress them. Instead, he is looking forward to being brought by the outsider. Under the impact of those excellent works, the Chinese artists in this time and space can come up with better and more exciting works. In his opinion, this should be a good interaction and a good mutual stimulation. .

A good atmosphere that can produce great works of art should be like this.

With excellence, there will be better.

Therefore, in terms of mentality, he should be regarded as the person with the widest vision and the least concern for temporary gains and losses among all the cultural and art industries in China in this time and space.

For example, Qin Wei, even if the other party has repeatedly praised and demeaned for a bit of domestic box office competition, Qi Jie was furious, but in fact, Li Qian, in addition to some sighs, some emotional people in the current situation , even if it is a master, it is inevitable that he will be fascinated by many things. In fact, there is really not much resentment.

Without him, people's status has changed, their mentality has changed, and their vision and realm have naturally changed.

He no longer cares about such trivial matters. Although, for the absolute classic "Once Upon a Time" in his mind, it is actually a commercial film that is obviously immature, such as "The Gate of Life and Death", a literary and artistic film that Qin Wei has made in the past. Half of the wonderful level of the film was stepped down, and Li Qian would be really uncomfortable. But as far as he is concerned, he is more willing to fight back with the next wonderful work to establish his position as a director, and will never stand up and fight people for this matter.

However, Feng Bicheng is different.

Li Qian really appreciates Feng Bicheng's talent, and appreciates it from the bottom of his heart.

As early as when he had just finished filming "The Legend of the New White Snake", the Minghu Culture Film and Television Department was established at the beginning, and Li Qian wanted to bring over Feng Yumin Feng Ye, who was not happy in Huaxia TV. Appreciation of personal ability also means repaying kindness, but there is also a part that has to be mentioned, that is, Li Qian also fully appreciates the directorial talent of Feng Yumin's son Feng Bicheng.

Therefore, Lord Feng refused to come over, and Li Qian tried to pull Feng Bicheng over at that time.

But unfortunately, Feng Bicheng was complacent at that time, so Li Qian failed.

Then, Feng Bicheng's new movie hit the market, to the extent that investors could not wait to stab him to death, and Feng Bicheng became a stink in the film circle. Lord Feng came forward and hoped that Li Qian would take in his son and give him a chance to make a comeback. Li Qian agreed without the slightest hesitation.

On the one hand, it is to pay back the favor, and on the other hand, it is out of appreciation for his talent. Even if his new movie was really ugly at that time, Li Qian believed that he still had talent.

Then, when he came to Minghu Culture, he only looked at the usual way of being a person and doing things.

From "Once Upon a Time" to "Red Sorghum", let him experience two parts, feel his foundation, and then Li Qian was relieved quickly, and he turned out the script of "The Big Shot" again early and refined it. This project was handed over to him with great confidence.

result……

All I can say is, a sigh.

For such a person, Li Qian is absolutely unwilling to stay in Minghu Culture.

Even if his talent is sky-high!

Therefore, even if Li Qian, who has an absolute classic in his heart as a comparison, sees the final work of "The Big Shot", he is a little surprised, but from the beginning to the end, Li Qian did not look directly at the director Feng Bicheng. .

Furthermore, for the celebration feast of "Red Sorghum", almost everyone from Minghu Culture, especially the film and television department, was invited, but Feng Bicheng did not. Flash marriage love: Husband is too fierce

Li Qian didn't want to see him.

He owed Master Feng's favor, and he kept it for Feng Bicheng, and Li Qian had to admit it. But after the filming of "The Big Shot", the investment was nearly 20 million, regardless of whether the movie became popular or fluttered. As a friendship, Li Qian no longer owes Feng Yumin and Feng Bicheng to their fathers.

Next, I have a friendship with you Feng Ye, let's talk about our friendship.

As for Feng Bicheng... just pretend I don't know him.

…………

The domestic film market in April was somewhat dull.

But in the dullness, there are growing expectations.

"Red Sorghum" is on a steady track, and in its fifth week of release, it still hasn't faced too many challenges. When the weekly box office of "Bad Life" was only in the early 20s, "Red Sorghum" once again won the weekly box office as high as 51.23 million in one fell swoop, topping the weekly box office for the fifth time!

At the same time, it also successfully pushed its domestic cumulative box office to a high of 453.7 million!

If nothing else, Zhang Zifang's "Promise" will be released next week. Her films have always been low box office, but they are surprisingly stable. That is to say, you don't expect her to be a big hit for you, but you don't either. I'm worried that she will hit the street, so the release of "Promise" should bring some impact to "Red Sorghum".

Whether it is from the arrangement of the film, or whether it is more attractive to the audience of literary and artistic films, this kind of impact cannot be avoided. In fact, because "Red Sorghum" achieved a grand slam in Berlin, it has already made Zhang Zifang, who had returned from the Berlin Film Festival empty-handed, voluntarily avoided it for several weeks.

And now, in the first week of the release of "The Promise", there will still be "Red Sorghum", but it is just a "Red Sorghum" that is steadily harvesting the remaining box office and continues to sprint records.

At this time, "Red Sorghum" cannot be as fierce as it was in the past few weeks, but for Zhang Zifang, a director of a niche literary and artistic film who has never had a movie box office exceed 100 million, and a niche like "Promise". In terms of movies, it is still a giant-level existence.

So, in fact, the meeting next week will be a mutual impact.

As for who has the higher box office in the end, it can only be touched.

But in fact, whether it is "Red Sorghum", which is in the middle of the screening, or even in the final stage, or "The Promise", which is about to be released, it is not the real big player in the domestic film market in April.

The "Big Name", which will be officially released nationwide on April 20, is even less so.

Even though the film has been promoted since the end of March, "Red Sorghum" has specially given it a sticker advertisement, and Li Qian even made a recommendation in the advertisement. , In terms of actor's popularity, and in terms of investment heavyweight, it cannot become a blockbuster movie that is responsible for the box office.

Du Weiyun's martial arts masterpiece "Smoke in the Desert" is it.

Since the beginning of April, the publicity of "Smoke in the Desert" has been fully rolled out!

Before Li Qian reached this point step by step with three films, in the Chinese film circle, there is basically no one else who is qualified to be on a par with Qin Wei.

There is only one Du Weiyun.

Qin Wei has been an art film director for many years. In the past years, when the market itself was not large, in fact, his film box office was not low. In addition, his reputation has always been high, and he was blessed by the Golden Lion Award at the Venice Film Festival. Naturally, it has become the number one big name among domestic film directors.

Compared with him, Du Weiyun does not play art films, does not think about life, and rarely criticizes social phenomena. He plays martial arts and history. He is extremely good at showing specific historical figures under specific historical conditions through a broad historical picture. Especially the historical figures of The End of Heroes.

He especially likes to photograph the Tang Dynasty.

Yang Guifei, Tang Xuanzong, An Lushan, Yang Guozhong, and Li Linfu, in his three-hour film, "Song of Everlasting Regret", which had to be divided into upper and lower parts when it was released, each character was extremely wonderful!

A "Fish Mystery", created a talented girl who dares to love and hate!

Of course, this is only the historical aspect, he has made more achievements in martial arts.

He photographed the small bridges and flowing waters in the south of the Yangtze River, as well as the desert sands outside the Great Wall. The word chivalrous, or the spirit of Ren Xia and the temperament of Ren Xia in the bones of the Chinese nation, were interpreted proudly by him.

Under his hands, Guo Yulong shot three martial arts films in a row, establishing his status as the number one martial arts male artist in China.

Moreover, it has to be said that in addition to being not afraid of realistic subjects, Du Weiyun has not won awards. His films are among the top in the country in terms of his achievements and accomplishments in photography, scenery, art, performance and other angles.

So much so that the domestic film circle has recognized that, apart from the recognition of an international award, Du Weiyun is actually not worse than Qin Wei. He has won the grand prize of the domestic Yangcheng Film Festival and the grand prize of the Tokyo Film Festival, but there is no egg Use, the force of these two film festivals is not comparable to the three major European film festivals.

His last work "Assassination Qin" was released in the summer of 2001. The investment was huge, and the box office also received more than 240 million yuan, which was very high at the time. Combined with martial arts, he seems to play a bit off-line story, art, photography, and performance, and it is still a first-class level. There is no need to question this, except for one thing, the rhythm is relatively slow.

At that time, the evaluation of "Assassination Qin" was generally positive and praised, but there were also a lot of negative reviews. Touch Gold Office

However, even those who gave negative reviews have to admit that it is probably not the second person who has the ability to shoot such a majestic and exquisite martial arts masterpiece in China today.

The films of "Liu Chengzhang" have always had strange ideas, but the evaluation of boldness is irrelevant. Li Qian's "Once Upon a Time" named himself "Kung Fu Movie". To put it bluntly, it sells personal heroism , also can't reach the category of daring and majestic. As for Qin Wei's "The Gate of Life and Death" before it was offline, everyone complained one after another, begging Qin Wei not to shoot martial arts in the next movie!

After "Assassination Qin" went offline, Du Weiyun disappeared quickly. In fact, after a month or so of rest, his new film plan has been put on the agenda. Preparations have already started in the fall of that year. In the spring of 2002, the filming has officially started. It is said that , This play took a full nine months to shoot just in the filming stage!

Obviously, the decline in the reputation of the last movie made Du Weiyun very alert.

So he came to the new movie. From the perspective of time cost, he should have done it more carefully than the previous movie.

And there is no doubt that the great director Du Weiyun has returned after two years, and the new movie is the best martial arts theme. The name "Smoke in the Desert" makes many of his die-hard fans feel that there is a drama just after listening to it. The large-scale publicity of this film was launched before its release, and the expectations of domestic movie audiences for this film were quickly pulled up and remained high.

Compared with Du Weiyun's blockbuster "Smoke in the Desert", the "Big Shot" produced by Minghu Culture has also invested a lot of money in it and carried out various planning and publicity, but in terms of overall momentum, it is similar to "Smoke in the Desert". "Not in a heavyweight class.

However, the finalization of "Smoke in the Desert" is to step on the tail of "Big Shot".

"Big Shot" is scheduled to be released on Friday, April 20th. This date was set in mid-March, but when the time came to the end of March, "Lonely Smoke in the Desert", which had never given an accurate schedule, suddenly announced the release of 4 On the 24th of the month, the difference between the two is only three days!

That is to say, "Big Shot" was just released this Friday, and "Smoke in the Desert" will be here next Tuesday!

I have to admit that the selection of Oriental Media Group, the terrifying momentum of Du Weiyun and "Smoke in the Desert", have brought great pressure to the propaganda and distribution departments of Minghu Culture.

However, the schedule has already been set, and the publicity work of "Big Shot" has already started. Temporarily adjusting the schedule will not only lead to a lot of publicity expenditures in the early stage, but also be a sign of weakness.

As a result, the managers of the two departments even went to Qi Jie's office together, hoping that Qi Jie could negotiate with Zong Chengze or Zhou Yanghua from Oriental Media, and there is no need for everyone to lose both.

The best result is of course that the two sides negotiate, each take a step back, and everyone makes money.

But Qi Jie refused without hesitation.

Because she knew very well why the other party did this.

But what about the mall!

With the growing growth and rise of Minghu culture, such a collision with the traditional big forces in the film industry is inevitable, no matter whether you win or lose, you have to touch it before you know it.

The quality of the last movie "Once Upon a Time" was so excellent, but it finally lost at the box office to "The Gate of Life and Death", which was obviously inferior in quality.

The reason, of course, can be understood from Qin Wei's huge appeal, and it is definitely established. But if you think about it from another angle, it is not unreasonable that when "The Gate of Life and Death" was released, the three major domestic film companies that have been fighting back and forth in recent years, Zhou Yanghua's Oriental Media Group, and Yuan Ke's Jinghua Film, actually They all tacitly did not make trouble for Hu Fei and Qin Wei!

Of course, at that time, Oriental Cinemas finally chose to support "Once Upon a Time", signed more screening agreements with Minghu Culture, and gave "Once Upon a Time" more films, but for "The Gate of Life and Death", they It's not considered to be underestimated at all, and the platoons given are not too low.

Therefore, the victory of "The Gate of Life and Death" and the untimely birth of "Once Upon a Time" are generally trampled under the foot of "The Gate of Life and Death". You have to understand it as a tacit understanding between the original domestic film forces and the rising Minghu culture. Joint suppression is actually not impossible.

Therefore, Zhou Yanghua, the first mouse, did not hesitate to pull down his face to personally call Qi Jie to ask for a copy, which has been despised by Qi Jie more than once in his heart. Previously, various domestic theaters had a tacit understanding to suppress the filming of "Red Sorghum". Qi Jie immediately felt that something was wrong, and he could also guess that someone was doing tricks behind the scenes, and this person was probably one of Zhou Yanghua or Hu Fei! So when Zhou Yanghua's phone call came, she immediately felt that Zhou Yanghua, for the sake of a little benefit, would lose his identity and position at every turn, and it would not be a big deal at all.

Now it's her turn to be embarrassed~www.wuxiaspot.com~ Of course she doesn't bother to do things like calling and begging.

What are you afraid of!

Since it's here, rolling up your sleeves is a word for "dry"!

It's good to win, but what to lose!

It's not all about the results of a movie!

Minghu Culture should be honed in such box office battles again and again, and can really establish its position in the Chinese film market step by step and its right to speak.

So, don't say anything, do it!

So, on April 20, 2003, "Big Shot" was released on time.
