Chapter 120 Billionaire Club Members

Beijing Communication University, in a lecture hall with 400 people, students from various colleges and majors had almost filled the 400 seats at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Today the crew of "Frequency of Life and Death" will come to Communication University and have a meeting.

Although Communication University mainly focuses on the field of information communication, many of the students here are engaged in film and television work every year.

Similarly, Communication University also has acting and directing majors.

"Frequency of Life and Death", as this year's biggest dark horse and one of the most watched movies, came to the school to participate in the event, and the students were very excited.

"Oh, why haven't you come yet? It's almost time."

"Why are so many people here? People who don't know the formation would think Liu Dehua is here."

"I wonder if Li Qian is handsome. Is he 1.8 meters tall?"

"What's so good about Li Qian? None of our brothers is more handsome than him!"

"Tch, handsome men are just for food, a man's talent is the most important."

"Yes, he made a good movie like "Frequency of Life and Death" at the age of 23. The family love in the movie is so touching!"

"I think Zhang Hanyu is more handsome, too warm, isn't it? It seems like I have such an uncle who loves me!"

"What's your perspective? "Frequency of Life and Death" is much worse than "The Butterfly Effect" of the same type. It's just an ordinary commercial movie. It just fooled you by adding some sensational things."

"Just be cool. If you have the ability, would you like to take a photo?"

...

As one of the best art schools in the country, although it has many well-known alumni, there are also many celebrities who come to the school to give lectures and so on.

But after all, the film and television industry is an industry closer to them. Every time there is a big star or director, they are always so enthusiastic.

"Frequency of Life and Death" has a box office of nearly 100 million. The quality and reputation of the movie itself are very good. Most of the students present have watched it, so they were all very excited.

What's more, director Li Qian is only 24 years old, and he is the same age as them, so there is no generation gap.

When it comes to peers who have achieved great success, people usually fall into two categories.

Either envy, adoration, or jealousy.

Soon the host of the school radio station came on stage.

"I'm coming."

"I've been waiting for a long time. I should have known I would have come later."

"I want to see how good this Li Qian is and how long he can last on the intermediate pass stage!"

"Yes, we cannot lose our traditional tradition."

.......

After a few casual opening remarks, the host introduced Li Qian and others to enter.

"Let us welcome the director of the movie "Frequency of Life and Death" Li Qian and several actors!"

"Pah, pah, pah..."

Accompanied by the applause of the students, Li Qian led Zhang Hanyu and others onto the stage.

"Hello, classmates, I am Li Qian."

Looking at the young faces in the audience who were about the same age as himself, Li Qian felt an inexplicable sense of intimacy.

They are all of the same age, and they all look close to each other.

"Hello everyone, I am actor Zhang Hanyu, and I am also the father in the movie "Frequency of Life and Death"."

"Hello everyone, I am Deng Chao, who plays the son in "Frequency of Life and Death"."

"I am Yuan Quan...."

"I am Wang Qianyuan..."

Today Li Qian brought four of them, who are also the leading actors in the movie.

After saying hello, the hosts exchanged commercial compliments as usual.

Although he is only a college student, the art of broadcasting and hosting is the top major of CCTV. He has produced many CCTV hosts. This student's hosting skills are no less than those of ordinary provincial TV hosts.

Li Qian also praised Communication University, but time was limited, so he got to the point.

"Director Li, as people of the same age as you, we are actually very curious about what we can do to achieve such great success at the age of 24 like you. Your film won the first prize on the big screen for the first time.

The box office has reached more than RMB 80 million, and may even exceed the RMB 100 million mark."

Sure enough, when any young person listens to speeches by celebrities or rich people, they most want to hear them talk about their successful experiences and methods, hoping to learn something from them to help themselves succeed.

Li Qian thought for a while and said, "Actually, it's very simple. I opened a photography studio in Donghua City as soon as I graduated from college. I was lucky enough to make some money, and then I took the tens of thousands of yuan to shoot my first photo.

An Internet movie "Sniper Phone Booth"."

"Fortunately, the box office was good, so I filmed the second "Jaws" right after that. Relying on the accumulation of the two Internet movies, I started to try to hit the big screen, and this is "Frequency of Life and Death". Thank you for everyone's love.

, that’s why we achieved our current results.”

Others talked about chicken soup in their speeches, but Li Qian didn't talk about chicken soup. He told them the specific methods of success, and he also precised the specific steps.

But now that we have the method, let’s do it...

"Pretending!"

The students in the audience were secretly complaining, "You have to say this, I even know how to make a nuclear bomb, but you can make one for me!"

Li Qian smiled and said, "Of course, in this process, there is much more to do than that."

"When I do things personally, I like to set a goal. If a big goal is not easy to achieve, I divide it into small goals and solve them one by one."

"For example, I plan to make a theatrical movie, but as a newcomer who has just graduated from school, even if I go to a film and television company with a script, 99% of the time I will be rejected."

"So, without any external help, I just want to earn the cost of a movie myself."

"How to make money? At that time, Internet majors had just become popular. I had tens of thousands of dollars, so I wanted to film Internet majors to see if I could make some money and earn the cost of making a theatrical movie."

"Making a theatrical movie is a big goal, and making a big online movie is a small goal on the way to the big goal. This small goal is to make at least three million through the Internet, which is the production cost of a small-cost movie."

Make a huge profit of 3 million through the Internet, but the goal is still small...

Isn't this nonsense? What's the difference from what I just said? Three million dollars is so easy to make.

"Then Director Li, how can you make three million through a website?" There was an extra voice from somewhere in the audience.

Being interrupted, Li Qian was not angry and continued, "If we break down the small goals, the Internet University wants to sell it for money, what do we need?

It requires good ideas, excellent actors, platform promotion, and a qualified behind-the-scenes team.”

"So, I wrote the script of "Sniper Phone Booth" and hired Lei Jiayin from the Shanghai Theater Arts Center to play the leading role. The photographer in the behind-the-scenes team came from the Jiangsu and Zhejiang Film Studio. My executive director and assistant

Directors are also professionals, and when negotiating with the platform, they also secured the highest level of A-signing shares. The higher the signing level, the more attention the platform will pay to it and provide better promotion resources."

"Writing the script, finding actors, finding a behind-the-scenes team, and striving to promote the platform are all stage-by-stage goals, and we must overcome these problems one by one."

"Overcoming small problems one by one is equivalent to achieving small goals one by one. When small goals are solved one by one, the big goal will naturally be in front of you."

"Then how do you write a good script and how do you ensure that this script will sell well?"

"This can also be broken down into small questions. Which genre of Internet universities is more popular and has a wider audience? Just choose a genre from it, add some creativity, and a good Internet university script will come out, and good creativity will

It depends on whether you have a good mind."

this.....

The following was silent.

Is it possible to ask how to have a good brain?

Who would admit that his brain is not good enough?

Working backwards, everyone has a good brain, and a good brain can write a good script.

There are good actors in various theater troupes, and there are a lot of qualified behind-the-scenes teams in Hengdian, so that good movies can be made.

A good movie will get better promotion resources.

A good movie + better promotion resources can sell well at the box office.

If it sells well at the box office, you will have money to make theatrical movies.

Huh?

It's really that simple, all you need is a good mind!

The students in the audience went back and forth and thought about it carefully twice. It is really like this. It is so simple to say.

However, something seems to be wrong?

Looking at some students in the audience who were deep in thought, Li Qian nodded with satisfaction.

However, the four actors next to them couldn't help but laugh, and even tried to hold back their laughter.

According to this statement, it can be applied to any industry, and success will be too simple.

However, most people are not so easily fooled.

I just didn't know how to ask for a while.

There are two major traditions in China Chuan, one of which is coaxing the stage.

There is a saying circulating among universities in Beijing: If you can stand on the stage of the Zhongchuan Auditorium for one minute, then you can stand on the stage of the Great Hall of the People for an hour!

Although it is a bit exaggerated, it is obvious that the students of Zhongchuan have a vicious tongue. People with average psychological quality can easily be made unable to get off the stage by them.

There was a campus singing competition, and a Neon international student participated in the competition. At the beginning, a few people in the audience sang "The big knife cuts off the heads of the Japanese". After singing a few lines, I found that there were too few people. In the end, almost everyone stood up together.

Singing the national anthem loudly drowned out the voice of the international student.

There was a little girl who sang "I'm going to marry you tomorrow", but everyone in the group started singing loudly to the tune of a wedding march, "You're stupid, get married, one person makes money and two people spend it..."

..”

Tradition cannot be lost. Soon, another boy looked at Li Qian with admiration.

"Hello Director Li, we all liked your previous three films."

Li Qian nodded and smiled, "Thank you."

However, a group of people in the audience shouted loudly, "You really believe it!"

What the hell...

"Hello Director Li, I think the plot of "Frequency of Life and Death" is too cliche, and the ending also makes the whole movie a mediocre work. It is a complete waste of this subject matter, and it loses the meaning of exploring life and destiny. It is completely

It has become a taken-for-granted fantasy, too idealistic.”

Li Qian nodded, "This classmate is right."

The students in the audience were a little surprised. Is Li Qian so humble? He admits his shortcomings so easily.

It seems that the news cannot be trusted. If I hadn't seen him very closely, I would have thought he was the kind of arrogant person.

As expected, he is as humble as his name suggests.

However, Li Qian went on to say, ""Frequency of Life and Death" is actually a gimmick that uses time and space to connect, telling a clichéd family story. I didn't talk about life and destiny in this movie."

"What I want to show is the relationship between father and son, and the idea of ​​changing the future of myself and my family through struggle and hard work. It is a very ideal idea, although in reality hard work may not necessarily lead to results."

.....

He said that his movies were very cliché, which made his classmates not sure how to take them.

Nowadays, which director is not always talking about art? Even Ma Xiaogang, who used to make those New Year comedies, would always say that they were to show the joys and sorrows of small people, the people on the fringes of the city, and to reflect the living conditions of ordinary people.

Anyway, old paper is also about art and pursuit.

When it comes to Li Qian, we no longer talk about art or the deeper meaning that the movie wants to express.

"Don't Director Li think he is too utilitarian? Cliché movies have no cultural connotation!"

"I just want to shoot stories that most audiences would love to hear, and reuniting a family against all odds is one of them."

Li Qian smiled and said, "If you say this is utilitarian, then someone asked me just now, how can I make 3 million through an Internet phone? I just want to make millions. Does this count as utilitarian? Why not?"

People ask me how to make movies with more meaning?"

...

It's quite interesting to chat with these peers. Anyway, Li Qian doesn't build a memorial arch, nor does he want to maintain the image of a successful person and a senior.

If Li Qian hadn't been on stage and they were off stage, their words wouldn't have been so gentle, and then Li Qian would have cursed people.

It is rare to have such a relaxing event. These people are much more difficult to deal with than the audience at road shows. Those movie lovers have read countless films and have a rich reserve of knowledge. Sometimes there are even some big bosses hidden among them. Sometimes they are too difficult to resist and just

I can handle it casually.

When leaving the stage, many people felt a little regretful that Li Qian could just walk out of the auditorium from the center.

However, there were still many students who came to ask for autographs, and the crew also took photos with them.

In the following time, Li Qian led the crew to participate in an exclusive interview with Xin Lang, which basically ended the promotion of "Frequency of Life and Death".

The screening of the movie has also come to an end.

On January 28, in the past week, "Frequency of Life and Death" received a box office of 8.5 million, with a total box office of 96.1 million in 29 days of release.

On February 5th, in the past eight days, "Frequency of Life and Death" will have received 4 million box office, with the total box office reaching 100.1 million yuan, officially breaking the 100 million yuan mark.

After 37 days of release, spanning December, January, and February, "Frequency of Life and Death" finally exceeded 100 million.

And Li Qian was also successfully promoted to director of the Billion Dollar Club!
