The TV series production is completed, and the next step is film production.
The first person Xiao Qian met was Zhou Xingxing.
This is a top workaholic.
I debuted very late in this life, and I feel even more deeply that time is waiting for me, so I don’t want to rest for a moment.
Having just finished "Westward Journey", while others are still enjoying the benefits of the movie, Zhou Xingxing has already started preparing for his next movie.
"Boss, I plan to make a movie about football."
Zhou Xingxing handed over the script and talked about his thoughts.
Xiao Qian didn't even need to open the script to know what it was about.
In the previous life, "Shaolin Soccer" was produced because the Chinese team entered the World Cup and triggered a nationwide craze. As a result, it was a box office hit and pushed Zhou Xingxing's reputation to the top.
When the world was hosting the 2002 World Cup, Zhou Xingxing had just started his career and was busy with other jobs and had no time to spare.
But 2004 was also a good year, and he finally caught it.
Because the Asian Cup was held in China this year, it was also a grand event that attracted national attention.
"Go ahead and do it boldly. The company will only send you producers and investors, and you will take care of the rest."
Xiao Qian's delegation of power made Zhou Xingxing unable to recover for a long time.
During the last "Westward Journey", Zhou Xingxing thought that his power was about to shrink due to conflicts with others. At least Xiao Qian might not let him continue to be in charge of the overall situation.
I didn't expect that I would get more power.
"Boss, I..."
Xiao Qian waved her hand, knowing what he wanted to say.
"As for you, you are a pure person with only movies in your heart. In fact, this is very good. It is precisely because of your thoughts that your movies are so good. It is very rare to maintain this. But dealing with interpersonal relationships and uniting people's hearts,
It's also a matter of knowledge. Since you can't do it, I'll send you a deputy to take care of it. Brother Xing, what you need to understand most is to prioritize. Once you understand this, you will be able to do anything."
For the first time, Zhou Xingxing's strong heart began to loosen.
He is actually a very stubborn person. The extreme personality he developed since he was a child makes him determined on a path and he will never look back.
This was also the main reason why he kept falling out with people over the years but never changed.
He doesn't think he is wrong.
In other words, he is indeed right.
But things in the world are often not so simple to distinguish between right and wrong.
The human heart is complex and the most difficult to control.
Obviously, although Zhou Xingxing has fully utilized his film talents, he lacks a lot in the world of people.
It's not that he doesn't know what's wrong with him, but at such an old age, it's impossible to change it.
Xiao Qian told him the truth time and time again, and he saw it all in his eyes. Even if his heart was as stone, he felt warmed by it.
It is enough to have a close friend in life.
In real life, Zhou Xingxing was not good at words. He kept his feelings for Xiao Qian in his heart and went to prepare for a new movie.
All he can do is make a good movie and prevent the company from losing money, which is the best way to repay Xiao Qian.
Compared to the boom in TV dramas, Starlight's film production has been somewhat stagnant recently.
Except Zhou Xingfengfenghuohuo, everyone else is very lazy.
Lu Chuan is still working on the final stage of his "Kekexili", and it will be good to have it released by the end of the year.
Ning Han has finished filming "Crazy Racing" and is waiting for the summer release.
This movie has carried the high expectations of its predecessor and attracted considerable attention from the outside world. As long as it has 80% of the quality of its predecessor, Ning Han will have stepped out of the sky and become a great director.
Feng Buck Ya is still busy with the post-production of "Once Upon a Time: The Lion King", which will be released by the end of the year.
But the company's plans could not be delayed, so Xiao Qian had no choice but to transfer Shen Peiwen over.
"Our action movie plan must continue, and we can't wait for Director Feng's progress. What I mean is that you should form a separate team and be responsible for the filming of one movie."
Shen Peiwen was extremely excited.
He used to be an assistant director for several years. Later, after Xiao Qian left the film, he started working beside Xiao Qian. Now Xiao Qian didn't recruit him when he was making a movie. He thought it was because Xiao Qian was dissatisfied with him.
Only now do I realize that I have upgraded and have to take charge of myself.
"What are you shooting?"
Xiao Qian gave him the script.
"This is quite difficult."
Shen Peiwen took it and looked at it, and couldn't help grinning.
"This is a test."
He never thought that the movie Xiao Qian was going to make would actually be "The Swordsman".
Unfortunately, the TV series version of "The Swordsman" has just finished airing, and the outside world's attention has not yet passed. If the movie version is not made well, he will never be able to hold his head up for the rest of his life.
Shen Peiwen was scared to death, but she still opened the script.
But after reading it, I suddenly discovered that although the script was called "The Swordsman", the content had almost nothing to do with TV series or novels.
Apart from the names and martial arts skills, the plot is almost an independent work.
"This change is quite big."
Xiao Qian didn't deny it either.
"This is just the name of Swordsman, but it is actually an independent film."
The script he took out was exactly Xu's version of "The Swordsman", and it was the first one.
Although the second part of the movie version of "The Swordsman" is more famous, the first part is actually not bad either.
The only flaw lies in the poor acting and action design.
Although Xu Guanjie was one of the top actors in Hong Kong at that time, he was still a bit inferior when it came to playing Linghu Chong.
Secondly, because the director of this film is Hu Jinquan, and the co-directors include Cheng Xiaodong, Li Huimin, Xu Anhua and Jin Yanghua, etc., the result is that the film's style is inconsistent and loses its focus.
Mr. Xu had many conflicts with Hu Jinquan, which caused Hu Jinquan to leave angrily.
From Xiao Qian's point of view, Mr. Xu really shouldn't have found so many people to collaborate with. If he had filmed it himself, the success of "Swordsman" would definitely not be worse than the second one.
After all, Hu Jinquan, Li Huimin and others are old and can no longer keep up with the times.
So when Xiao Qian came up with this script, he sorted it out carefully and tried his best to imitate the style of Mr. Xu.
As for the actors, they were even more carefully selected.
"Linghu Chong, no doubt, he must be the real brother."
Shen Peiwen smiled bitterly.
"Brother Zhen has never had a rest. He is so busy now. Can his body bear the food?"
Xiao Qian showed his true nature as a capitalist.
"Humph, I let him take a year off last year and let him go to Japan to pick up girls. Now it's time for him to devote himself."
Yang Zhen was not at the scene, otherwise, a mouthful of old blood would have been spurted out.
But there is no other way. He is the only one who can play the role of Linghu Chong.
"As for Gu Jinfu, please contact Senior Liu Xun. There is no one more suitable than him."
Liu Xun has just played Huang Qiying in The Lion King, and her relationship is on fire, so it shouldn't be difficult to invite her.
"If Ouyang Quan says it, let Zhou Bujie come."
In terms of appearance alone, Zhou Bujie is really similar to the singer. As for his acting skills, Zhou Bujie is very good, but the singer is not bad either.
Maybe many people ignore the singer because he is so famous for his singing, but in fact, his acting skills are really good.
"As for Yue Lingshan, let Tang Yan play the role."
In the original version of "Swordsman", a total of two people played the role of Yue Lingshan. One was Xu Xian, who didn't look like a junior sister, but looked more like an old woman.
There is also Miss Li, she is really beautiful.
Xiao Qian decided to let Tang Yan play the role based on Beauty Li.
Although Tang Yan played Ren Yingying in the TV series version, in the movie version, she could only play Yue Lingshan. Because the portrayal of the characters is completely different, the requirements for actors are also different.
"Then who will play Ren Yingying?"
When Shen Peiwen asked, Xiao Qian couldn't help but look melancholy.
"I'll make the arrangements."
………………
Pudong Airport is always busy. Every day, countless people are sent here from all over the world, and people from here are sent to other parts of the world.
Because it's so busy, it's not unusual for all kinds of people to show up here.
Kim Tae Hee held Ji Eun's hand and walked out of the customs. Looking at the unfamiliar land, she felt a little nervous.
This is his country. Is coming here too close to him?
"Onie, it's so hot here."
Zhien also came. Although it was still in the middle of the semester, he had to take leave because he had to work.
Really, that Oppa is too unreliable. Can I play this?
Classmate Li Zhien was full of sadness and was filled with pessimism when he thought about his job.
"Well, let's go."
Kim Tae Hee gathered her emotions and followed her manager outside.
The reception car here was already waiting. Seeing them approaching, the driver quickly opened the car door.
Seeing that the car door was very high, and fearing that it would be difficult for Zhien to get in, Jin Taixi stepped into the car door first, planning to turn around and pick up Zhien.
Unexpectedly, as soon as she entered the car, a pair of big hands suddenly came out from inside, hugged her slender waist firmly, and made her disappear through the door.
The driver quickly closed the door, ran back to the driver's seat, started the car and drove away.
Li Zhien and his manager were left standing there with questions on their heads.
I haven't gotten in the car yet?
The agent was about to cry.
"It's over, it's over, you weren't kidnapped, right?"
Only classmate Li Zhien remained calm despite being depressed.
"I've been kidnapped. They specialize in kidnapping people's feelings."
Seeing the second car approaching, Li Zhien actually acted as the conductor.
"Okay, okay, let's move all the luggage up. Nothing happens to Tae Hee-ni. No, although something does happen, it's just something she doesn't necessarily hate."
