In early October, after more than three months, "Westward Journey" was finally completed, and the entire crew opened six bottles of champagne that day to celebrate.
"It's only been three months, Qingzi, your acting skills are really..."
In the evening, cheers came from the crew. In front of the celebratory bonfire, Cui Zhiye handed Li Qing a bottle of champagne and said with a complicated face: "In your last few scenes, almost everyone in the crew was moved.
Cried."
Li Qing had just taken off his costume. Even though the weather had turned cold in October, the heavy costume still made Li Qing sweat profusely.
He did not pick up the champagne, but picked up the mineral water handed over by Xue Yan. After drinking it for a while, he gasped: "What happened to my acting skills?"
"It's so unpredictable!"
Cui Zhiye said with a smile: "Your acting skills have grown so fast. I heard Hua Rong say that she felt very stressed when she acted opposite you because your eyes were so dramatic and she was always led by you.
When entering the ditch, you must know that Hua Rong is an experienced actor!"
Li Qing laughed, then touched the back of his head and said mysteriously: "Is the progress really that great?"
"I have to ask the audience if I don't care."
Cui Zhiye took a sip of champagne and asked, "When will it be released?"
"It's October in the Gregorian calendar now, and we can't make it in time for New Year's Day!" Li Qing said confidently.
"So confident?"
Cui Zhiye said in surprise: "Do you know how many blockbusters are going to be released in the New Year this year? This is the millennium, a very memorable day. There are countless blockbusters scheduled for the New Year. In China alone, I know many movie stars.
The next movie will be released, let alone one from abroad!"
Competing with movie kings and movie queens for schedule?
When Li Qing heard this, he immediately hesitated.
"Think carefully before making a decision. "Journey to the West" is indeed a movie worth remembering endlessly. It will definitely occupy a place in the history of Chinese films." Cui Zhiye patted Li Qing on the shoulder and smiled.
And left.
Li Qing frowned and thought for a while, but in the end he couldn't come up with a clue.
If this movie were placed ten years later, he wouldn't worry about bumping into anyone.
But the production concept of this movie was too advanced, and Li Qing was worried that it would be a hit like in his previous life. Although it would definitely be a hit in the future, it would be too late!
Early the next morning, the crew started packing their things and headed back to Hong Kong.
However, before leaving, director Liu Weilin led the staff of the Yinshan Town government to find Li Qing and inquired about investing in the film and television city.
Liu Weilin personally mentioned this matter to Li Qing as early as a month ago.
After careful consideration, Li Qing finally decided that he could invest.
Therefore, after careful questioning, Li Qing asked: "I have two things. If the mayor can agree to these two things, I can consider investing tens of millions to establish a film and television city here."
Several government workers, headed by the mayor of Yinshan Town, heard the number ten million and felt their heads were filled with stars. They exclaimed in disbelief: "Ten million?"
"RMB?"
"Oh my god, ten million!"
Accompanied by buzzing exclamations, Li Qing quietly waited for the mayor of Yinshan Town's response.
The mayor claimed to be about forty years old, but his hair was already gray. Due to the dry climate, his skin seemed to be extremely lacking in moisture, which resulted in dense wrinkles on his face. When he heard Li Qing's words, he also felt dizzy.
You know, they came here just to invest tens of millions in this plot to repair the two increasingly damaged castles in Silver Fir Town.
But I didn’t expect that as soon as the other party opened his mouth, it was 10 million!
Rich! Definitely rich!
"You said, as long as it can be done, let alone two things, twenty things are fine." The mayor asked tremblingly.
"First, there is the issue of relocated households."
Li Qing said: "Since I invested 10 million to establish a film and television city, I naturally cannot let the 10 million go to waste. But if it is just two castles, it is not enough to make me interested in investing."
"Yeah, go on," the mayor said with a smile.
Li Qingdao: "I want to use two ancient castles as the core, and hope that all residents within a radius of one kilometer will be relocated. Of course, relocation will naturally require compensation. In this regard, I will deliver at an absolutely fair price, but I don't know these
Are the relocated households willing to..."
"Yes, I am definitely willing. I will talk to them personally!"
The mayor nodded like a fool: "Where's the second one?"
Li Qing smiled: "Second thing, I hope the mayor can communicate with the superior departments and apply for the two ancient castles in Yinshan Town to be national-level cultural industry demonstration bases, and at least municipal-level key cultural protection
Unit, if possible, I hope that Yinshan Town can take the initiative to apply for a national five-a tourist attraction in the future..."
As Li Qing's words unfolded, all the town government staff were confused.
National cultural industry demonstration base?
Municipal key cultural protection unit?
And...a national five-a tourist attraction?
Wocao, with our poor land, can it still become a tourist attraction? Or...a five-a tourist attraction?
Five-a level, that is the symbol of the top tourist attraction in China!
The mayor swallowed, looking shocked.
"You are too optimistic!"
At this time, a government employee said sarcastically: "We are just a small town in a remote area of the west. In ancient times, this was a border area, with deserts everywhere and inaccessible all year round..."
"I understand what you mean."
Li Qing nodded: "But if you don't give it a try, how will you know it's not successful? Otherwise, why would I invest in such an inaccessible place?"
At this time, Liu Weilin also helped: "Ten million is not a small amount. If it were not worth ten million, Mr. Li would definitely not invest. Even if you don't believe in yourself, don't underestimate Mr. Li's vision."
"You're right!"
The mayor finally came to his senses. His heart was beating very fast and he said in a hoarse voice: "Cultural industry demonstration base and municipal key cultural protection unit, right? Leave these two matters to me. Even if you ask grandpa to sue grandma, I will definitely do this."
Two things are done, but the final five-a tourist attraction...well, you may have to wait until you invest before you can get the approval..."
Li Qing glanced at the slightly older mayor, and seeing his firm eyes, he nodded slightly: "In a week, I will send someone to conduct actual consideration and investigation of Yinshan Town. At that time, they will follow up with you
Let’s talk about the investment amount in detail. Mayor, in the next two days, you’d better ask the relocated households about their wishes. If they are willing, they might as well pay more for the relocation price. Personally, I am quite interested in this project.”
"Okay, okay, I won't let you down!"
The mayor said with tears in his eyes: "Let me thank you first on behalf of the villagers!"
"You're welcome." Li Qing waved and smiled.
At noon that day, the crew of "Westward Journey" left Ning Province, flew to Hong Kong, and started holding a wrapping party.
Li Qing is also on this trip. In addition to finishing the wedding banquet, he also has to participate in the post-production department of Huayun Film and Television, personally participating in the post-production sound effects and picture production and processing of the film.
There are too many strong enemies ahead. If you want to release it in the New Year, you must take it seriously.
After all, this is a 60 million project, and even Li Qing is worried that it will go to waste.
