Perfect Life

It was just night in Los Angeles when the plane landed. (3K Chinese website--domain name of this site:)

Li Qian and the others walked out of the passage in a low-key manner, and Li Qian put on sunglasses on purpose.

Sun Meimei came to pick up the plane with a bodyguard, and when she left the pickup hall, a 911 with a hard-top convertible was parked on the side of the road outside the airport pickup!

The luggage was handled by Sun Meimei, Li Qian went straight to the car, and then drove away with Liao Liao and the others alone, while Sun Yuting waited for their group, and then got into two RVs to pick up the plane. leave one after another.

Sun Meimei has been here with Liao Liao for two or three years. She is very familiar with the various situations in the United States, and she does things properly. In the last year, Rose Power has become popular in Europe and the United States, and she is also responsible for the back. Manage all the brokerage affairs for them in Europe and the United States.

Therefore, in the past few days in Los Angeles, she was in charge of arranging the food, clothing, housing, and transportation of the entourage that Li Qian brought.

Liao Liao and Li Qian just stayed in Berlin for a few days a few days ago, and it only took two months. I think they must have thought about it, but for the two of them, it was only two months, and it didn't feel like a big deal.

As more and more things happen, Liao Liao's own development in the United States is getting better and better, and naturally he is getting busier and busier. To be honest, when I have a little free time, I also think very much. I want to go back to the country like crazy, so I don’t do anything, just stay by his side. Anyway, I already have so much money, even if I don’t do anything, And he doesn't need him to support her, it's enough for her to be comfortable for a lifetime, how comfortable it will be to have a baby... But she just thinks about it a little bit occasionally. After all, although she loves Li Qian, she is also the same I love my singing career.

So... the money has actually been made enough, but what can I do?

Just keep earning!

She is a popular singer in the United States. Although Li Qian seldom comes to the United States, the name of the four beauties is also very loud in the European and American music circles. In addition, she and Li Qian are the "abnormal couple" in the East. The American people have always been the focus of attention, especially their strange marriage and love status. The American people have always been very puzzled and worried. So, even though it was already night, she was still more careful. As for finding a place to stop by the side of the road for a while, she was in no hurry, and she went back.

Going for a ride all the way back, I didn't say a word, just you look at me, I look at you, and when my eyes met, they all smiled and were very tired.

Find a place to eat first. It was Sun Meimei who had reserved a table at a famous restaurant in advance. During the meal, her eyes continued to look crooked, and her mouth was chatting about the not salty and not bland days, but her heart was on fire. It's hot and boiling, and I feel like my breath is hot!

Why is Xie Bing ill? It's not much better. Can your son call me auntie now that we meet? How is the recording of Zhou Ai's new album? Has Lao Qi hooked up with you again recently? and many more.

Finally, I remembered and asked Liao Min along the way.

Li Qian said that she was fine and thriving.

Liao Liao let out an "um", even if he cared.

But when the meal was almost finished, she suddenly asked nervously, "Don't hook up with her, don't make our sisters fall into the same hole! My dad can be mad!"

Li Qian was stunned at first, and then replied, "She looks a little worse!"

Then got punched.

But in fact, Liao Liao was very satisfied with this sentence.

Then, when the meal is over, this fiendish and passionate person has no intention of doing anything else, so he settles the bill, hurries away, and goes home to do what he wants to do.

As a result, Liao Liao drove the car all the way to the house, and when he arrived at the door of his big villa, he saw a car parked outside the door, with a big fat man standing in front of the car.

"My God!"

Liao Liao sighed.

It's John Days.

Seeing Liao Liao's car coming back, he also turned around and got in the car, started the car, and when Liao Liao's car drove in, he followed into the parking lot in the yard.

Get out of the car, the big fat man hurried over.

"Oh dear Qian, I've been waiting for you for an hour!"

Liao Liao helplessly looked at the two of them who were hugging each other, and had no choice but to let them go to the living room to talk together.

However, here they patted each other's shoulders and let go, while walking into the living room, John Days greeted the hostess Liao Liao perfunctorily, and then couldn't wait to say: "Boss, I have to face to face. My solemn protest once again! I firmly oppose your casting plan! The male lead must be a white actor, or, if you are to act in person, of course I have no objection!"

After a pause, he said again: "Qian, please believe in my professional ability, and please don't ignore the arrogance of Americans! A male protagonist from the East that they don't know, even if he is a hero, even if he His skills are very beautiful and they like it very much, but as long as he is a Huang Zhongren (not a typo), it will be countless times more difficult for this movie to gain their approval than if the hero is an American!"

Having said that, he shrugged, "The heroine is fine! They would be happy to see an oriental woman as beautiful as Liao show off her beauty and exoticism in a movie! Compared to an oriental male hero character, they'll be happy to accept this!"

"Or, you will be the male lead! Directing and acting, I agree 100%, no objection!"

While talking, he had already reached the door, and this fellow smiled and walked towards Liao Liao, "Oh, Liao, my goddess! You are more beautiful than the last time we met!"

Liao Liao hugged his shoulders and looked at him helplessly, without even extending his hand.

John Days is particularly good at self-relieving embarrassment, and shrugged, "ok, ok, I know I must have delayed something and disturbed something, but... please believe..."

Having said this, he has turned to face Li Qian, "Boss, please believe me, this matter is extremely important!"

Li Qian smiled, patted his shoulder, and said, "Go in and talk!"

Does the male lead have to use a white actor? Otherwise, Americans will have some acceptance? Thus affecting the North American and global box office performance of the film "The Matrix"?

And if white actors are starring, this natural resistance and estrangement will disappear without a trace?

Yes!

Based on the experience that Li Qian has seen and heard in the two generations before and after, this statement is almost 100% correct, even if he already has a certain reputation in Europe and America. It should be much better than using other Chinese actors to a certain extent, but there will still be a certain gap with using a white American movie star to play the role. ()

That's right!

The two sat down in the living room, the servant brought two cups of freshly ground coffee, Li Qian took a sip, and then said seriously, "But...John, what I want to shoot is a Chinese movie."

John Days spread his hands and frowned, expressing his anticipation for the following.

Li Qian continued: "For me, I hope that each of my films can be unimpeded and sold all over the world, and it is best to sell them at the unprecedented box office! But you and I both know , we must have a focus! Even in China, "Titanic" and "Jurassic Park" can also be sold, their starting point, and the most concerned market, is still North America!"

John Dyce seemed to understand something.

Liao Liao sat aside, his eyes flickered, and he looked seriously at Li Qian's serious face when he spoke.

I like him the most when he talks like this.

Li Qian said: "The Matrix will be released globally. You and I cooperated so that it can be released in China, as well as in North America, Europe, and almost every movie market in the world. We hope that it can be released in almost every movie market in the world. It is loved all over the world, but...As the producer and director of this film, I must make sure and be sure of one thing: this film must be loved by Chinese audiences first! Then, it will be Made to be enjoyed by audiences in other parts of the world, including North America!"

After a pause, he added: "If this film is particularly popular in North America and Europe, but in my hometown, it cannot be accepted and loved by the audience, then I think this film will It was judged by me as a failed work!"

John Days waved his hands helplessly, "Qian, we are discussing the issue of global acceptance of a movie, there is no national sentiment in it, ok? It is not necessary! The preparation and shooting of a movie And the release, we invest money and manpower, as well as your artistic talent, our ultimate goal is nothing but one point, box office! Box office! Box office!"

Speaking of which, he said with a heart-to-heart look, "Qian, we must respect the commercial nature of commercial films! And I don't think making a movie with a white actor as the male lead will make you lose it. Your national stance! Believe me, a white actor starring in your movie will still be popular, loved and sought after in your country, but a Chinese starring movie will have a hard time gaining audiences in North America They love and follow! What is this? It’s box office, it’s money, it’s dollars!”

Li Qian couldn't help laughing when he heard this.

John Days shrugged, as if he didn't understand why Li Qian laughed.

"Qian, is there anything wrong with my words?"

After a pause, he said: "I have always believed that the foundation of a successful commercial film is an investment that we make with market goals as the starting point! Let's work together to produce a product that will be generally welcomed by the market, and then... make money! Right?"

Li Qian laughed completely.

John Days looked bewildered, and there was a hint of anger.

He didn't go anywhere after work. He hurried over after a bite to eat, just to try to persuade Li Qian to change his acting plan before the movie casting started, but it was definitely not to come over to accept this kind of ridicule. Even if it is a partner, even if this partner has just won two consecutive box office victories on the other side of the ocean, it will not work!

At this time, Li Qian put away his smile, looked at him seriously, and said, "John, China's film market will soon surpass that of the United States!"

John Days was stunned on the spot.

When he reacted, he immediately retorted: Just kidding! How much was China's national box office last year? More than three billion less than four billion US dollars, but what about North America? Last year's box office was $8.8 billion!

The difference is more than doubled!

But at this time, before he could speak, Li Qian continued: "John, tell me, who is the highest-grossing film in North America? Which movie?"

This is the most proud place in John Days' life.

He heard the words without hesitation, "Titanic, the North American box office of 640 million US dollars."

Li Qian smiled, "Its box office in China is close to 200 million US dollars."

John Days shrugged, which perfectly refuted what Li Qian just said.

But Li Qian continued: "However, last year my "Once Upon a Time" earned 235 million US dollars at the box office in China, and "Life and Death" was 350 million. This year, my director's "Red" "Sorghum", it has already exceeded 280 million US dollars, and another work "Big Shot", which I wrote, has exceeded 250 million US dollars in just four weeks!"

John Dyce frowned: That doesn't seem like enough to prove anything. Because it is still not as high as the big-selling movies in North America, and the gap is huge.

Li Qian continued: "Five or six years ago, when we saw the box office of "Titanic", we all felt that China's domestic films would not be able to break its box office record for about ten years! However, no , in just four years, my "Once Upon a Time" has already broken its box office record in China."

This time, John Days finally understood what Li Qian was going to say.

He began to look thoughtful.

Yes, it is recognized all over the world that China's huge population base makes any market there, once it develops, it will become the largest market in the world.

Movies are no exception!

Because no matter how developed North America is, the people love movies, and their spending power is high, but the total population of North America is less than 300 million, which is a natural bottleneck!

And China, China has a population of over one billion!

In recent years, with the rapid development of China's economy, there are more and more wealthy people, and the middle-level wealthy people are also appearing in large numbers, and even faintly become the backbone of the entire country and the entire society. Imagine, if China can have more than one With hundreds of millions of people entering the middle-income class, how terrifying the consumption power of their entire country will be?

Now, it is said that there are as many as 30 million people in China with an annual income of more than 100,000 US dollars!

And their economic growth rate exceeds 7% every year. As for the United States... It has maintained a growth rate of around 5% for many years in a row, and even a negative number accidentally!

So...the Chinese film market is bound to surpass the North American market?

The question is, how many years will it take?

Faced with his question, Li Qian replied with a smile: "John, those who are willing to occupy the market in advance may pay a small cost and lose something at first, but in a few years, they will be envied by all the latecomers. Endless! Even now, Hollywood studios are all planning to enter the Chinese film market, aren't they?"

…………

In the end, Li Qian was not able to convince John Days completely, but the other party basically tacitly agreed that he was willing to follow Li Qian's theory and plan.

The male and female protagonists are Chinese actors, the No. 1 supporting actor is the prophet, and black actors are used, while the computer antivirus program uses white actors.

As for other street passers-by, etc., there are both Chinese and foreign.

After a grudging consensus on the matter, casting for The Matrix in the United States began.

All the way through the primary selection has been carried out in advance, and now the candidates for the two main roles, as long as they enter this round, there are basically no complete unknown actors.

Appearance, image, acting skills, etc., have already been basically guaranteed.

Therefore, on the first day of the primary election, two or three suitable candidates were selected for each of several important roles. Next, the audition with makeup was performed, and a line was also given to see if they finally met Li Qian's mind. requirements for this role.

And just when the makeup audition hosted by Li Qian in the United States had just ended, and John Dyth was busy with the agents of the selected actors over contracts and various actor treatments, the Chinese side, Minghu Culture officially announced that the crew of the TV series "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" was officially established, and casting will be made publicly.

Because of the huge influence of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" on the readers of martial arts novels and the entire Chinese society several years after its publication, as well as the reason why the identity of the book's author Jin Yong became a mystery, this news immediately caused a sensation in the entire Chinese culture. industry, publishing and film and television entertainment.

At the same time, what also attracted attention was that at the subsequent press conference of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes" ~www.wuxiaspot.com~ the third domestic well-known director Feng Bicheng who broke the 500 million box office, also Appeared.

The reporters who rushed to the press conference were all very excited. They thought that Feng Bicheng was going to go back to direct the TV series, but... He answered himself that he was only an assistant director.

As for the director, it is Han Shunzhang, the manager of the film and television department of Minghu Culture who has directed "The Second Part of Princess Huanzhu".

This of course will surprise many people.

However, the core focus that everyone is most concerned about is definitely the issue of the adaptation rights of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes".

After all, the author Kim Yong's dragon is already famous, and in the past few years, many directors and producers have expressed their yearning for Kim Yong's works on various occasions.

And now, quietly, Minghu Culture has won the TV adaptation rights of "The Legend of the Condor Heroes". How can it not be surprising?

This is even more shocking than Feng Bicheng willing to be the assistant director of a TV series after the box office of "Big Shot" exceeded 500 million!

Facing the reporter's question, and hundreds of cameras, video cameras, microphones, and the flashlight that almost blinded people's eyes again and again, Han Shunzhang held the microphone in his hand and answered: "Because, Kim Yong is Li. Qian, Li Qian is Jin Yong. Jin Yong's pen name, like 'Hai Zi', is Li Qian's pen name."

The audience was silent for a moment, and the flash didn't even flash.

But three seconds later, there was a buzz in the audience, and the reporters were about to explode on the spot!
