That night.

Chen Qi told Fu Qi about this matter, and Fu Qi shook his head and said: "The reporter you got in Berlin is from the Sankei Shimbun. The Sankei Shimbun is affiliated to the Fuji Sankei Group. This group has a very right-wing tendency.

Japan has a great influence, so it’s normal for the film company to boycott you.”

"I'm not afraid of boycotting, I'm just afraid of causing trouble to you." "Haha!"

Fu Qi and Shi Hui both laughed, and Shi Hui said: "Are we afraid of boycott? Toho can't do it, let's help you contact Toei. Toei has a close relationship with "Asahi Shimbun" and TV Asahi, and they are more left-leaning. Toei

The quality is not as good as that of Toho, so the asking price for your films may be lower."

????????????

Toho has a close relationship with Fuji, and Toei has a close relationship with Asahi. This is the situation.

"Actually, that's all Japan's leftists do. The Japanese Red Army has long been dispersed and has gone all over the world. The remaining leftists advocate peace and anti-war, but their anti-war, how should we say... Based on our

The vision is too shallow...

Fu Qi paused and used a rather euphemistic word, saying: "The right wing has been on the rise recently. I think the tampering of textbooks last year was a test. They will definitely dare to do it again! In short, the general direction of the two countries is friendship, and the competition between them depends on us.

There are always people who think that in the 1980s, Japan was still dominated by the left wing, but this is no longer the case. The textbooks were revised twice in 1982 and 1986, and Japanese Prime Minister Yasuhiro Nakasone and cabinet ministers visited the Yasukuni Shrine in 1985, which illustrates this problem.

Fu Qi asked again: "Xiao Chen, have you listed out your shooting plan for this year?" "Almost!"

Chen Qidao: "A "Happy Ghost 2", a modern action film by Li Lianlien, and a zombie film by Legendary Pictures. It depends on the situation in the mainland. If there is a suitable one, I will make one." "Zombie, a zombie film?

"

The couple looked at each other.

"After death, due to various factors, a person transforms into a corpse, loses his mind, and becomes extremely powerful. He only knows how to eat human blood raw. Then the Taoist priests from Maoshan come to arrest him. They cast spells, draw lines with black dog blood and ink, and use the peach wood sword blubuiub.

..."Is this feudal superstition? Your research is quite extensive."

Shi Hui frowned.

"I read a lot of miscellaneous books, and there are even more miscellaneous books about Hong Kong...

Chen Qi was ashamed and said: "So I put it in Legendary Pictures. I think the Japanese will like this kind of film. Japan is the second largest Chinese film market, so I can't ignore their line. "We really don't like feudal superstition.

I understand, as long as you have an idea."

The movie Chen Qi is going to work on is naturally the famous "Mr. Zombie"!

I had thought about it before, but I decided not to do it because the funds were a little tight. Once the funds for "Seven Days of Love" come back, I would almost be able to shoot it.

Hong Kong's fantasy kung fu movies started with Hung Kam-bo's "Ghost Fighter" and peaked with "Mr. Zombie". How can we go together with each other? They all followed the trend and the genre was completely destroyed in just a few years. But after being refrigerated for a while,

, became popular again in the late 1990s, and was also unconventional, launching the classic drama "I Have a Date with Ren Zhi"

What is the core of zombie movies? Various settings?

That's right, but the core of the core is one person, Lin Zhengying!

Lin Zhengying is now working as a security guard with Hong Jin. Chen Qi can come directly if he wants it. But if this film is going to Legendary Pictures, Zhuang Cheng will find it, which is easier. "Mr. Zombie" is popular in East Asia, Hong Kong, and Taiwan. , Japan’s results are very good.

Chen Qi wants to make a low-profile version of the "Zombie Universe". The three masters and apprentices of Uncle Jiu are fixed. Uncle Jiu also has three brothers: Senior Brother Shi Jian, Taoist Master Qianhe, and Taoist Master Four Eyes. The actors of these people It won’t change, the story lines intersect and are related to each other.

Uncle Ninth has never had a name. It was only spoofed in "Zombie Supreme", saying that Uncle Ninth's name is Lin Fengjiao.

Chen Qi directly named him "Mao Xiaofang" and made a big setting of "Southern Mao and North Horse" - the folk legend is South Mao and North Horse, which refers to Maoshan and Chumaxian.

In the zombie universe, there is Mao Xiaofang in the south, and the Ma family of exorcist dragons in the north. The Ma family of exorcist dragons are the people of Ma Xiaoling in "I Have a Date with a Zombie". Chen Qi wrote a synopsis of the story overnight, and then wrote set up.

"Mr. Zombie" pioneered many things that will continue to later generations, such as holding your breath when encountering zombies. Zombies cannot smell the breath of strangers and cannot find you.

There were also Lin Zhengying's various Gang steps, finger gestures, and talismans, which were all modified based on the real Maoshan Zhai rituals. Chen Qi couldn't remember these, so he left them to Zhuang Cheng to collect information and improve them one after another. In this way, we reached the third chapter. Two days.

Chen Qi met with several European film producers again.

Compared with Asia, European and American film producers are extremely interested in "Life is Beautiful". After talking for a long time, a French company spent 2.4 million US dollars to buy out the distribution rights in Europe. On the third day, I met with American film producers.

"I'm sorry, your price is too high, I can't take the risk!" "It's okay, I hope there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future!"

Chen Qi shook hands with the representative of Paramount and sent him out. When he came back, he took a big sip of tea. The bitter and strong tea rolled in his mouth, which lifted his spirits a lot. He had already sent away three companies. , I had no previous cooperation experience, so when I heard his asking price, my first reaction was to shrink back.

The clock on the wall was ticking, and Chen Qi was a little anxious. After waiting for another half an hour, a familiar voice finally sounded: "Chen, this is the first time we have met in Hong Kong! Speaking of which, Hong Kong is really great. The girls in the club are pretty too." "You don't have body odor, right?"

"You look like a Chinese in everything except your mouth!"

While he was talking, Roberts from 20th Century Fox came in and hugged Chen Qi enthusiastically. A strong smell of perfume hit his face, and his hair was very heavy, and the backs of his hands were hairy. They were all acquaintances, no nonsense.

The two parties sat down, not talking about the price, but how to announce it.

"If "Life is Beautiful" wants to compete for Oscars, we will not consider winning the award first, but first consider being shortlisted. I think there are four categories that have a higher chance of being shortlisted: Best Foreign Language Film, Best Screenplay, Best Art Direction and Best Costumes." "The views are the same, I think the same way!"

"OK! The deadline for submissions for Best Foreign Language Film is in October. We have to meet at least seven days of screenings and some pre-publicity."

"I will visit the United States with a delegation at the end of June or early July. I can bring the Chinese pilot who parachuted into the Shandong concentration camp and let Shadra and the others come and get to know each other on the spot," said Chen Qida.

"This is a good idea!"

Roberts raised his eyebrows and said: "If you are successful, the company will bear all public relations expenses and will arrange for "Life is Beautiful" to be released during the Oscars. Since you know the United States so well, you should be aware of the weight of this expense." "But

If you win the award, it will also be added to your honor room!"

"20th Century Fox is worthy of this statuette, and "Life is Beautiful" is not an American film. If we really have to bet, we are more willing to spend money to bet on a local film."

·..

The two discussed for a long time, and Chen Qi pondered for a few seconds before finally making an offer: "5 million! Except for Eurasia, the distribution rights belong to you, including the video tape." "Deal!"

Roberts laughed and said, "There is also good news. "Orphan" will be released during your visit. You don't know how much people in the United States hate the Japanese!" "Is the congressman taking the lead in smashing Japanese products?"

"Hahaha, smashed!"

Roberts laughed and added: "This year we have also imposed a heavy tax of up to 45% on Japanese motorcycles. The gentlemen on Capitol Hill are intensively studying Japan policy. The Japanese will be finished in a few years. You are just in time."

!" So far.

"Life is Beautiful" sold a total of 7.85 million US dollars.

"Orphan's Revenge" is shared equally with Yindu. This does not need to be split equally, it all belongs to Chen Qi.

Last year, Dongfang Company's foreign exchange income was more than 9 million U.S. dollars. This year has had a good start. It is only March and it is bound to reach a new high. (I have something important to do today, but that's okay...
Chapter completed!
