Han Sanping looked at Li Qian, but he didn't find any sign of insomnia in Li Qian. His face was red and he was very energetic.
He shook his head and said, "We have put several major ministries and commissions and several multinational pharmaceutical companies into a state of chaos. I think you sleep better than anyone else. I don't know how many people have trouble sleeping day and night these days."
"So serious?" Li Qian said seriously.
"The Food and Drug Administration resigned a leader last year. I don't know how many storms there will be in the second half of this year. The health department is also similar. KSG has started to investigate the 2 billion bank transfer case that was exposed due to internal strife. Anyone who has handled the Gleevec
Everyone involved is in danger. Even the Shanlong reported by their employees involved several major hospitals in the capital. The Municipal Health Bureau did not dare to ignore it and investigated several people..." Han Sanping said one by one.
.
I went and poked a hornet's nest.
Li Qian shrugged, "But you can't blame me for this. I'm just a movie maker. There is no Hei Laohua in the movie, and they are glorified. The bad things they did are not mentioned in the movie."
"Those people who are interested in it must be scolding you to death in their hearts."
Han Sanping shook his head, "But don't worry, you won't have any influence other than being in the eyes of major ministries. They won't let go of movies related to various departments so easily in the future. As for Lai Hua, he won't do anything."
"It's such a big fuss this time, the higher ups should take action against them." Li Qian was a little surprised. KSG exposed a 2 billion bank transfer case. Laihua is no worse than KSG in China, so maybe more will be dug up.
"You don't understand such a pharmaceutical company." Han Sanping took a deep breath, "Actually, I didn't know much about it before, but after getting to know it more deeply during this period, I became more and more shocked."
"What did Director Han say?"
"Let's just talk about KSG. This time, they will definitely be fined at least 2 billion yuan. This is almost the same thing all over the world. They will also have to make concessions on the prices of some patented drugs, but it will not have much impact on them."
"???"
Li Qian was confused. Is there something wrong with my ears, or something wrong with your brain?
Han Sanping was not surprised to see Li Qian's appearance, and continued, "Let me tell you, none of these multinational pharmaceutical companies cannot handle foreign exchange, and their banking networks are all over the world. For them, foreign exchange is an investment.
This investment will yield returns several times over. Even if they are investigated and fined, the returns will be far higher than if they cannot remit the money. Which of the top ten pharmaceutical companies has not been investigated or fined, and has already earned back the fine through bank remittance.
And if something happens to you, public dissatisfaction will become even more intense. Laihua still wants to make domestic money. For them, making money is the first priority. Since they have already lost, they will try their best to stop the loss and then find a way to make it back.
It’s not a risk. Besides, you are almost praised by the media and the people now, and the higher-ups won’t allow it.”
Learned a lot!
When foreign exchange transactions become a sure-profit business, and the profits are huge, companies will conduct foreign exchange transactions with their eyes closed.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. What are your plans for the next movie? I'll give the boss a job." Han Sanping asked instead.
Li Qian thought for a while, "Let's make a comedy that makes people... laugh with tears. The structure is somewhat similar to "I'm Not the God of Medicine"."
"I'm Not the God of Medicine" made enough tears. I cried a lot this summer. It's hard to make a movie like this again. I just need to laugh as much as I can, relax a little, and relax a little.
"Like "I'm Not the God of Medicine" with laughter and tears?"
Han Sanping immediately became alert. "I'm Not the God of Medicine" also had tears in his eyes, so he was not going to do something stupid again.
"Uh... it's a comedy, a real comedy, a pure comedy." Li Qian emphasized again.
"Even if it is a comedy, it must be scrutinized. When the time comes, not only literary scripts, but also storyboard scripts should be submitted." Han Sanping is still worried, I believe you!
"Do you understand the storyboard?" Li Qian expressed deep doubts. Literary scripts are useless things and are not used in filming. They are just to deal with investors and censorship. After all, laymen cannot understand storyboards.
"The review committee also has professionals."
Li Qian shook his head, "But once I have the storyboard, I know what I'm filming. I don't want to reveal it before the movie is released."
"I want storyboards just because I want to see what you are shooting." Han Sanping thought for a while, "If it is really a pure comedy, it should be fine if the storyboards are not reviewed, but you'd better not take any chances.
The first review is not that simple, and not only you, but any reality-themed movie will be very stuck."
"Don't worry, Director Han. I feel a little uncomfortable making such a movie. I'm happy to make a comedy, and there is no precedent for Optoelectronics to review storyboards."
"No other movie has had such a huge impact. Public opinion has become stronger than ever before, and the waves have even reached the cabinet. Big leaders have personally given instructions, affecting the national system."
In terms of influence, "Avatar" is not that high. At the beginning, audiences were rushing for tickets, and there were a lot of viewers on the Internet who were amazed by the movie's special effects.
Moving forward, "Hero" is far inferior, and "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" did not do well at the box office in the mainland. It is a Western core and Chinese people are not interested in it. Zilang Literature
Cheng Kaige's "Farewell My Concubine" was a huge sensation. It was the only Chinese-language film to win the Palme d'Or, the highest prize in Cannes, and the only Chinese-language film to win the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film. However, its social influence is also greater than "I Am Not".
"The God of Medicine" is a bit worse. After all, for a month in a row, the Internet was full of sounds from this movie.
Moving forward, "Titanic" may be the only one that can compare in terms of influence. After all, it is a love movie, suitable for all ages, but it has not affected the government.
This time, I will make a realistic movie about the medical industry, focusing on the government’s medical reform. If I make a movie about other aspects of people’s livelihood, who knows what else may happen.
Li Qian was helpless and guarded himself as much as he guarded against thieves.
However, the good news is that I will not be affected. They can review comedy films as they please. Is it possible that they can still detect flowers?
...
After the meeting, Li Qian returned to the company.
"How about Director Li, what did Director Han say?" Du Yang couldn't help but ask.
Although the box office of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has exceeded 1.4 billion, as members of the company, they are happier than anyone else.
But now that it has developed to this point, the public opinion caused by "The God of Medicine", coupled with a series of things, has forced the higher authorities to pay attention to it. If we don't pay attention to public opinion, who knows what will happen.
There are some unhappy thoughts about the lack of guarantees, and the pharmaceutical industry is hugely profitable and involves a wide range of things, and none of the people behind it can afford to offend it.
"Nothing happened." Li Qian shook his head, "We are just making movies and we don't get involved with anything else, so don't worry."
After saying this, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and then each reported some things.
Huang Yan first talked about the theater chain, "Over at the theater chain, Gao Jun, the vice president of the New Film Alliance, is interested in coming. He was also a core member of the championship team that the New Film Alliance won the first place in the industry, and he also has a group of his own team, but he wants to meet with you first to discuss the theater planning."
"If you can make New Film Alliance the best in the industry and bring a team with you, of course you can meet, let's arrange a time." Li Qian nodded, New Film Alliance Cinema Line has changed its management since the main members of the championship team retired. , was quickly overtaken by Wanda and United Cinemas, and fell to fifth place, which shows the importance of this team.
"Do you need to do any preparatory work for your new film now?" production director Zhao Jun asked.
"I said I was going to make a new movie?" Li Qian was a little surprised.
Zhao Jun chuckled, "With your high efficiency, if you shoot any idea, it will be a classic, I guess."
Why does this sound like a bitch and doesn't look like a senior executive at all?
Li Qian shook his head, "Don't worry, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" has been started non-stop in order to catch up with the summer schedule. This time, it will be at a normal speed and there will be more time. But it is more than one project. The production department will be very busy in the second half of the year. Equipment needs to be added, and people need to be recruited.”
Zhao Jun said quickly, "I'll do it right away. Next year our audience will be blessed again."
"Come on, Mr. Du, the popularity of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" will slowly subside in the next two days. You can also do some research online. It's time to start "Jaws 3"." Li Qian looked at Du Yang.
"I have people preparing for it, and after Fox came to inquire about the third film after the last Shanghai Film Festival, other Hollywood companies didn't know what was going on, so they also sent people over to discuss overseas distribution rights." Du Yang said.
"You should deal with it first. If he is not sincere, just tell him to get out. The filming will be released in the summer next year at the earliest, so let's hang on for now."
Du Yang nodded. With enough capital, big companies will turn to you. She said with emotion, "Except for the early films of the National Master, as well as the films of Li Lianlian and Cheng Long, there is no film that can impress Hollywood." This is the only time the company has been so proactive and that several major giants have flocked to it."
"Hollywood only cares about money. Of course everyone wants a 100% profitable movie. If this series ends, look at their attitude." Li Qian shook his head.
"If Director Li can make "Jaws", he can make a film that is more suitable for overseas than "Jaws"." Zhao Jun said with a timely smile.
...
Everything that should be arranged was arranged. After the meeting, Li Qian returned to the office. Not long after, Wen Muye knocked on the door and came in.
"Boss, I'm here."
"Sit down, Old Wen, how are you, have you rested enough?" Li Qian asked him to sit down.
"It's been a month's rest, that's enough." Wen Muye nodded, with uncontrollable anticipation in his eyes. You didn't have to guess what Li Qian wanted to do with him.
Starting from "A Perfect World", after three films, once as assistant director, and twice as executive director, it was finally time for me to take charge of the director's chair.
During this period of time, watching the impact of "I'm Not the God of Medicine", my writing ambitions were extremely intense, and I often fantasized that one day I could make a movie like this, and then I would have no regrets in my entire director career!
