"I came to Jiangcheng to do some errands and stopped by to see you. You've been quite busy lately, haven't you?"
Li Qian smiled, walked in and sat down on Wen Zhang's big sofa.
However, when he saw a small black hole made by something on the back of the sofa, coupled with the smell of cigarette smoke in the room, and the cigarette butts at Wen Zhang's feet, Li Qian shook his head and said with a smile, "I mean Wen Zhang,
How could you be so careless and burn a hole in someone's sofa while smoking?"
Wen Zhang stiffened and forced a smile on his face, "I accidentally touched it."
Just as the staff was about to speak, the director who followed Li Qian in smiled and said, "It's okay, it just so happens that our department has to purchase new furniture. Director Li will sit down."
"In this case, if you break something, you need to accompany it. All elementary school teachers have taught you. Wen Zhang, you will pay the price to Director Zhao later." Li Qian shook his head.
There was a flash of displeasure in Wen Zhang's eyes. He couldn't pay much for a broken sofa, but if he had to pay, it was a matter of face.
Now, the movie he stars in is about to sell for 600 million yuan. After all, he is also the number one niche of the new generation, a new generation leader in the domestic film and television industry, and the future of the industry!
However, when he thought about Li Qian's actions that day when he came to visit the class, he felt that he had seen something. Wen Zhang suppressed his unhappiness and nodded in response, "Okay Director Li."
"Forget it, it's just an old sofa, there's no need for it."
Director Zhao still had a smiling face and was quite happy. He rubbed his hands and said, "Director Li, you guys chat, I'll book a hotel, and then we can all have a meal together?"
Li Qian smiled and said, "Thank you, Director Zhao, for your kindness. However, I have something to do when I come to Jiangcheng this time. I have an appointment with the leaders of the city government tonight. Let's wait for another day."
"Then next time." Director Zhao chuckled and took the employee out.
"Director Teng, it will exceed 600 million in a few days, so there is no need to continue. Now that the movie has gained enough momentum and word of mouth has spread, the promotion can slow down. Don't work so hard. I have sent
People are preparing for a celebration banquet." Li Qian said with a smile.
"Okay." Teng Huatao nodded. He was tired enough during this period.
Li Qian didn't stay here too long. He just dropped by and left when they were about to record the show. He met up with Du Yang and headed to Jiangcheng City Government.
The purpose of this trip was the construction of exterior scenes. After the news was released, he immediately received invitations from many provinces and cities. Li Qian also visited one city after another. Today it was Jiangcheng's turn.
Jiangcheng will invest 7 billion yuan in Xinzhou District to build a film and television cultural industry base with the largest scale, the most complete functions and the highest professional standards in Central China.
Under the leadership of the Hubei Film Group, they have already greeted Hubei Optoelectronics, met with the mayor of Jiangcheng, and then held a meeting with the leaders of Guoziwei, Xuanxun Department, Xinzhou District and other departments.
After that, treat Li Qian to a meal.
Half drunk, I returned to the hotel.
"Why did you drink so much?"
Tong Liya frowned and brought the prepared hangover soup.
"How is it possible to discuss business without drinking? And I don't have to pay a dime for this business, so I asked the Jiangcheng City government to spend more than a billion to do the work for me."
After drinking the sobering soup, he took the wet towel and wiped his face. Li Qian shook his head and said, "If I give them a billion, then there is no need to drink."
Tong Liya clicked her tongue, "The government will spend more than a billion dollars to build your outdoor scenes for free?"
"One billion is probably not enough, but they have to spend this money in the first place. It has been roughly agreed that their film and television cultural industrial park will be built in accordance with the small town construction I asked for and build a micro city of nearly 10,000 acres.
Jiangcheng was originally built to be a film and television industrial park. Except for the Republic of China City and Chu Palace, which are used for filming by other crews, hotels, apartments, commercial real estate, and amusement parks will be built in other places. It is almost a tourist town.
Generally speaking, except for the Republic of China City and the Palace of the King of Chu, which I can’t use, all the other planned buildings can appear in the small town, but the planning needs to be changed." Li Qian said with a smile.
This industrial park is positioned as a tourism project. Except for a few hotels and other buildings, there are no high-rise buildings, which is in line with Li Qian's requirements.
There are no high-rise buildings, no steel forests, modern small towns, hospitals, banks, etc., and even if they are not there, when taking panoramic photos, just dress up other buildings to replace them.
"But, even if it's too late to start building now, isn't ten thousand acres a lot of land?" Tong Liya asked.
"There are only a few main exit places. Buildings with two or three floors don't take much time. It's enough that the appearance is fine. The panoramic shots are taken last."
Li Qian thought for a while, "Ten thousand acres is about one-sixth the size of Dongcheng District. It's not that big. The panoramic view probably needs to be synthesized later. It's too small for a small city, and it's not a small city in a small Western country."
How big can Dongcheng District be? One-sixth of Dongcheng District is too small for a small town. Half of Dongcheng District is just about right for a small island town.
But with such a large area, it is not that easy. Ten thousand acres is already the largest area that can be found. Unless a city wants to build a new city, that area is enough.
But when building a new urban area, the arrangement of high-rise buildings and various dense residential areas will definitely not meet the requirements.
Not talking about this anymore, Li Qian asked about the publicity situation, "By the way, what's going on with Wen Zhang, I've heard about it in the capital. In the past few days, he has almost pissed off the entire media circle and has become a public enemy of the media.
."
"He."
Tong Liya gets a headache whenever she talks about Wen Zhang.
"You don't know, I've never seen such an arrogant person. He can't eat oily noodles, doesn't record shows, and curses people. He also drinks hand-ground coffee for him, calls fans stupid, and even spends the afternoon on the sofa.
He had a cigarette butt, and he was told he couldn’t smoke indoors, but he just pressed his button on the sofa.”
One by one, Wen Zhang recounted all of Wen Zhang’s dirty tricks during this period, “Even when he went back to his hometown of Chang’an to promote, he said he wanted to go back to his hometown to see his relatives first. As a result, the event was half an hour late, and we and the media and fans were in vain.
After waiting for him for half an hour, he still looked indifferent, so I gave in."
"Is it so silly?"
Li Qian was a little surprised. The news about being late for the event came out, but he cursed people when he couldn't eat fried noodles, drank hand-ground coffee, and called fans stupid, but it didn't make the news.
However, the latter should not be scolded in public. The former may be that the TV station needed Wen Zhang's publicity and was reluctant to expose it.
On the other hand, various other news making big names are not uncommon.
"Anyway, I don't want to cooperate with him anymore. I've had enough of this road show," Tong Liya said.
Seeing her angry look, Li Qian even laughed.
"You're still laughing!" Tong Liya pinched Li Qian's thigh angrily
The next day, Li Qian and the local government went to the future Huazhong Film and Television Cultural Industrial Park, which will also be the filming location for "The Truman Show".
Another advantage of this place is that it is surrounded by water on three sides and is connected to another piece of land next door by a bridge. Apart from not being a guide, there are almost no shortcomings.
However, for such a large area, 10,000 acres, construction planning will take time.
They were all low-rise buildings, and there was enough time. Li Qian just asked them to build the surrounding area of the square first, and build part of the holiday villa area first.
Although it is a film and television cultural industrial park, it is actually designed to develop tourism. It is surrounded by lakes on three sides, and a villa area is also planned to be built on the periphery.
Even within this 10,000 acres of land, a few pieces of land will definitely be set aside for residential development in the future. This is an old routine. After all, land for cultural purposes is cheap. For this reason, a large piece of land will be acquired, and then a part of it will be reserved, and later it will be slowly turned into residential buildings.
Use land, build houses and sell them for money.
So Li Qian rejected the joint investment proposed by a real estate developer, one of the investors, as it was boring.
After socializing some more, Li Qian returned to the capital.
"Love Is Not Blind" is still a hit, with a box office of 56 million in its fourth week, a drop of more than 50%, and the total box office failed to exceed 600 million.
Another heavyweight blockbuster "Legend of Hongmen Banquet" was also released in November, but its reputation collapsed on the first day, with a Douban score of less than 6 points.
With UFO Hat director Li Rengang and Liu Yufei starring, it's impossible to get a good reputation.
There was overwhelming criticism directed at the movie and Liu Yufei, including blind changes in history, sequels with UFO hats, and criticism of Liu Yufei's acting skills.
It's normal for Li Rengang's reputation to be bad. After all, this is already the third UFO movie. Liu Yufei's reputation is not as good. The only time it was good was "Time Planning Bureau". There were not many people who criticized it. After all, the people behind it were still scrupulous about Li Qian.
of.
As long as there is nothing sinister or anything like the earthquake scam, except for super bad movies, an actor will not be hacked like this. It is impossible without someone behind the scenes.
No matter how many black men there are, without organized action, they won't be able to have such a big impact.
Liu Yufei is also often criticized, and Yang Mi, by the way, received similar treatment to Liu Yufei after she was named one of the Four Little Actresses in 2009.
In this film, Liu Yufei's performance was indeed just like that. It was not considered satisfactory, and it was not suitable for Yu Ji at all. It was too pretentious, and to put it bluntly, she was facially paralyzed.
Feng Shaofeng's Xiang Yu is high-spirited, his eyes are bright, and his clothes cover up his weak figure. However, his voice is more tender and less rugged. Whether it is nobility or domineering, it is not enough, but it is still passable.
Xiang Yu is inherently difficult to act, much more difficult to act than Lu Bu. There is a saying that there were no aristocrats after the Warring States period, and there were no gentry after the Sui and Tang Dynasties.
The aristocrats of the Six Kingdoms during the Warring States Period were completely different from the princely brothers of the five surnames and seven families of the later aristocratic families, and their nobility was also indispensable.
The biggest highlight is of course not Li Ming who plays Liu Bang, but Zhang Liang played by Zhang Hanyu and Fan Zeng played by Huang Qiusheng.
Overall it's okay, especially the fighting scenes, which is what Li Rengang is good at, as well as music and art.
The shortcomings are also obvious. Countless Xiangjiang movies have such a plot. For the sake of his own dominance, a small group of people, their leader, betrayed his brother who had been with him through life and death. The last person died alone. This was Liu Bang.
The tragic story of an overlord committing suicide has turned into a petty story of loving children, a typical Hong Kong movie.
The audience also voted honestly with their heads. With a box office of 73 million in six days, it is considered stable to exceed 100 million, but it can only go so far.
However, it is much better than films such as "The Female Generals of the Yang Family" and "East and West 2011". The former only had a box office of more than 30 million yuan at most, while the latter only cost 40 million yuan in four days, but its reputation collapsed faster.
However, if you invest 80 million in a large-scale production, forget about making money.
However, Wang Changtian was very grateful for his wit. For an 80-million-dollar project, he took the small step and took the distribution rights. He made a fortune and let the main investors pay for the loss.
As time enters December, the box office decline of "Thirty-day Love" is getting faster and faster, and "Legend of Hongmen Banquet" is also continuing to slowly reap the poor box office despite all kinds of criticism.
I don’t know why, but Liu Yufei did not do any public relations at all. Her fans are no match for Heizi.
However, on Saturday, December 3, Li Qian went to Jiangning City again and held a press conference with the local government to announce that Jiangning would invest 7 billion to build a Central China Film and Television Base to coordinate the filming of Li Qian's new film "The Truman Show"
, which shocked the entire industry.
Seven billion is the cost of the entire base, but it's just bragging, so Li Qian let them brag, since he didn't have to pay a dime anyway, and a senior official from northern Hubei was present in person.
The title of the film "The Truman Show" was also announced at the press conference. It was the only thing Li Qian had to pay, but it didn't matter whether it was announced sooner or later.
This news immediately covered all entertainment news and became the hottest topic at the moment, not to mention the badly criticized "Legend of Hongmen Banquet".
" can't match the popularity of Li Qian's movie title.
The voice of scolding Liu Yufei was also much softer, and Li Qian also did some good things.
"Damn it, is the Jiangning government crazy for spending 7 billion to build exterior scenes for Li Qian?"
"Huazhong Film and Television Culture Base? Isn't this the area next to the Tao Family Lake? My hometown has just been demolished. I didn't expect Li Qian to film in my house."
"Oh my god, demolition makes people jealous!"
"It's just demolition. I demolished a building in Shenzhen Town and lost all my work. I became a waste living and waiting to die. This is the end of my life."
"I'm showing off my wealth to Ye Zhuba. Li Qian isn't making a comedy, so why does it cost 7 billion to build a filming set?"
"Yes, seven billion. What kind of exterior scenes are going to be built? The cost of Hengdian Film and Television City seems to be only 3 billion."
"Is the title "The Truman Show" related to the world?"
"Build a new world? Is it a comedy with a science fiction background? Building seven billion locations seems reasonable."
"That's nonsense. The cost of "Avatar" is not that high. What's the concept of seven billion!"
"I think the main thing is the movie itself. What kind of movie is it? It costs 7 billion to build exterior scenes."
"I don't understand this title. Li Qian's names are always weird. Does Truman represent a door? It means the world behind the door. What world is that?"
"Baidu read The Truman. There is a book called "The Starting Point", but it doesn't seem to have anything to do with it."
"My family lives in Truman Town, does it matter?"
"I calculated with my fingers, Truman is definitely not a door, nor a place, but a name. This person's surname is Chumen. This film is about a man named Truman who came to an unknown new world.
A series of funny events happened in the world."
"You are a fake Taoist priest. Is Truman a human? With such a strange name?"
"Hey, how dare the demon Dao compete with the poor monk to steal the master's wife!"
"Truman Truman, the name is a bit strange, but I remembered some Hollywood comedy movies where the hero breaks into a new world for unknown reasons."
"Yes, the exterior scene that was built with a cost of 7 billion should be this new world. Then people nearby can go to the site to see what is being built. It will soon be enough."
A movie title made headlines in entertainment news, overshadowing everyone and the movie. Countless fans were discussing it, and many stars, directors, and film companies secretly hated it.
There's no movie coming out, so I'm going to steal their limelight!
ps: I’m so drunk that I even blocked the last chapter. The reason is also a shameful sentiment. I’m really speechless. I applied to lift the ban in the morning but there was no response.
If I had written anything, I deserved to be banned. The key is that I didn’t write anything.
Speechless.
As a result, I have no time to type words today, so there is only one chapter of 4,000 words. I’ll see if I can release it tomorrow morning.
