Anyone who has had friendly cooperation with Li Qian will answer in the affirmative, there is no doubt about it.
Li Qian himself considers himself a good person. If he is not considered a good person, there will be few good people in the film and television industry.
Of course, being a good person does not mean being an honest person.
Although everyone is taught by their parents and teachers to be an honest child when they are young.
However, in today's society, whether it is ordinary people who are running for survival every day or people who have achieved certain achievements in their own fields, honest person is not a particularly good word, and it even has some ridiculing meanings in it.
Honest people do not deserve to be bullied. Of course, Li Qian would not be such an honest person and remain silent even after being bullied.
However, he would not go to Heihuayang, that would be too lucrative.
Besides, unless there is some major moral flaw or even crime, it is of no use.
As a listed company, annual performance is the top priority, especially in the film and television industry, where big-budget movies are more intuitive.
The most important projects of Huayang Media this year are nothing more than the three projects of "Zodiac", "1942", and "Painted Skin 2". The first two have not been completed yet and will definitely be filmed in the second half of the year.
"1942" will be released in December, "Zodiac" will not be released during the Spring Festival, and Cheng Long is also busy with "Police Story 2013", which will be released in 2013.
There is also the "Tai Chi" series on the National Day holiday. It is said that "Twelve Zodiac" will not be wasted on the National Day holiday.
Then it is very likely that "Zodiac" and "1942" will be released separately during the Lunar New Year period, which would be perfect.
It's best to clean it up together.
That is to say, the sequel to "Awkward" has been postponed this year, otherwise it would have killed Huayang's two blockbusters no matter what.
But it doesn't matter, the days are long, and from now on, I will focus on Huayang's blockbusters, showing one Sniper and the other, completely frightening them, and naturally there won't be so many nonsense things.
Big fists are the last word.
...
On March 1st, another movie from Future Pictures, "Jaws 3" will be officially launched. A launch conference was held at a hotel near the Xiangshan Film and Television Base.
Han Yan is a newcomer to the big screen, and he can be considered a semi-newcomer in theory. In addition, none of the actors are well-known, so Li Qian still has to support the scene.
At the press conference, I praised Han Yan and all the actors, dealt with the reporters, had a sumptuous opening banquet, and then went straight to the beach to start filming.
This time, it’s not about which resort it is in. After all, the third film is already ten years later. According to the background of the movie, there are not many people in the island that was originally a tourist resort.
One after another, people died in fish belly, there were still sharks that were not caught, and there were no tourists.
Without tourists, there is no business, and it cannot be changed to other industries. After all, it is just a small island.
This time we are going to build an exterior scene, building a resort that has been abandoned for many years.
It's just a simple set, not a real scene, and it's simple, with only a few shots.
The filming location was on the coast in Xiangshan, which was similar to the previous two films. When everyone arrived, various departments of the crew were already preparing.
"Director Li, do you want to come for this first scene?" Han Yan said.
Li Qian felt a little moved in his heart. He really missed "Jaws" at that time, but he still refused Han Yan's kindness. This was his movie, and there was nothing wrong with it. Li Qian would not overshadow the movie.
If it were his own film, the first scene would be shot by someone else, and Li Qian wouldn't do it either.
"You can do it by yourself. I'll be there to take a look. I have to fly to Xiangjiang tomorrow."
"Then I'll go get busy. Director Li, please sit down first."
Han Yan responded and trotted towards the actors.
Li Qian asked someone to bring a chair over, and he sat on one side and played with his mobile phone.
On the first day, they were all simple shots, that is, shots of Peng Yuchang and several of his classmates playing in the sea.
However, they are all large aerial panoramic shots, and the medium and close shots will be shot in the pool. After all, it is difficult to shoot in the sea. Such scenes are all shot in the pool, and "Titanic" is no exception.
I took several aerial shots and long shots on the sea. More than three hours passed. I had dinner and prepared for the night scene.
There is only one night scene on the beach, which is the scene where students are having a barbecue and having a bonfire party on the beach. It is similar to the opening of the first part of "Jaws", and it can be regarded as an echo.
However, a woman died after the bonfire party in the opening scene of the first part. The third part was not so fast, otherwise they would not have dared to go into the water, and there would be a hammer later on.
The bonfire, barbecue grill, food, and beer are all ready, but it's not dark yet, so the actors are sitting in a circle with their coats on, waiting.
In March, it is still quite cold, especially at night, not to mention wearing swimsuits.
A total of eight actors, four men and four women, artists from three companies, Zhao Liying, Li Chun, and Tang Yixin, came. The other actress was Yang Zhi, a student at the film school, who is Xiaoxue in "Family with Children".
There is some overlap between Yang Zhi and Zhao Liying. Generally speaking, the characters will not have similar styles, but it doesn't matter if one of them will fall into the shark's mouth at the beginning.
Actor Li Qian knows one Zhang Yishan, and the other two are either from film school or Chinese dramas or theaters.
It's boring to sit here and talk about movies with Han Yan late at night, and the four girls don't have any attractive figures.
"Peng Peng, bring me a can of beer." Li Qian pointed to the pile of beer behind him.
Peng Yuchang quickly took two cans and handed them to Li Qian to drink. "Here, boss, do you want it, Director Han?"
Han Yan also took it, but did not open it, and continued to discuss the plot with Li Qian, "Director Li, many of the previous scenes can be shot in the same way as in the first film. In the middle, he was forced onto a rock and used a necklace to heal the wound on his leg.
I have never thought about which direction to take the shot of the stitches. It was originally so painful that I couldn't make a sound, but it was a bit difficult for Tang Yixin to do it. It would be easier to take the shot if she screamed loudly, but it would ruin the overall atmosphere.
.”
It was Tang Yixin who had the seven to eight centimeter incision on her thigh stitched. There was no heroine in this film, there were only two protagonists, Peng Yuchang and Shark.
The stitches were not done by Tang Yixin. After all, a freshman, where did he get the courage? It was Peng Yuchang who did the stitches, the male protagonist.
As for why it is Tang Yixin, it is just because she is more petite and weak compared to Zhao Liying and Li Chun.
"The best thing is of course the pain is so severe that you can't even make a sound." Li Qian nodded, "If you can't act out that feeling, you can just faint from the pain, which is reasonable."
When several actors heard Li Qian and Han Yan discussing the most perverted scene in the movie, they felt a slight toothache. Tang Yixin even subconsciously covered her thighs.
"Hey, by the way, Zhang Yishan, Yang Zhi, you two are still college classmates, right?" Li Qian started chatting.
"It's Director Li, we are in the same class." Zhang Yishan said.
Li Qian smiled and said, "I also grew up watching "Family with Children". It's quite strange that you two have turned from siblings to classmates."
Did you grow up watching "Family with Children"?
Everyone was dumbfounded.
"We are the same age." Yang Zhi said weakly.
"Really?" Li Qian really didn't expect that the two of them looked at least two or three years apart in the first movie.
I was looking for something to do, so I just chatted casually. Soon it got dark and the crew started filming again.
It's still a simple scene, just play it.
The next day, Li Qian stayed on the set for two hours, then got on the plane and flew to Hong Kong.
He also has another identity, the producer and Chinese executive producer of "Pacific Rim".
As a Hollywood blockbuster, most of the plot of the movie takes place in Hong Kong, with mecha warriors from China and weapons inspired by the "Green Dragon Sword".
Of course, real shooting is impossible. As for the mecha, which is hundreds of meters tall, it was only shot in Hong Kong, and the scenes of the other supporting characters were shot in Hong Kong.
When Li Qian arrived, Warner's producer Joe Parent was also waiting. The crew was filming the scene of the black market boss.
After they finished filming, Qiao Cai introduced Li Qian to director Gilmore.
However, it was obvious that the other party was not interested in Li Qian, and he greeted Li Qian in a nonchalant manner.
Although Gilmour is not a famous director, he is not an ordinary person who can direct a large-scale production worth 200 million US dollars.
In Hollywood, being replaced by a producer is as common as eating and drinking, but being replaced by a Chinese director as the heroine was something Gilmore couldn't accept!
In Warner's eyes, he is a well-known director in Hollywood, but he is worse than a Chinese director!
Warner couldn't afford to offend him, but Gilmore didn't have a good look on Li Qian.
He said hello, glanced at Li Qian, and continued to work on his own.
Li Qian shrugged, "Director Gilmore doesn't seem to welcome me?"
Joe was a little embarrassed, "Lee, don't take it to heart. Gilmore is in a bad mood. As you know, he is also under a lot of pressure with a big production of 200 million US dollars."
"Understood." Li Qian said calmly. He could probably guess what happened. He just changed the heroine.
Even though the original heroine may have nothing to do with him, any director will be unhappy if someone else replaces the heroine when the film is ready and about to start shooting.
What's more, Li Qian is still a Chinese.
However, Li Qian was still a little unhappy. Why was he so awesome? Japanese mechas in this movie were not of interest to Japanese audiences. Japanese audiences might as well watch a special feature film, and it was not very attractive to European audiences.
force.
It is inevitable that it will be a big hit in China, otherwise how can the heroine be replaced by a domestic actor in a sequel of this level of big production.
With a cost of US$190 million, most of the domestic profits will be taken away by Li Qian, and it will definitely lose money relying on overseas box office.
"Just be cool, I'll take the money." Li Qian thought to himself.
In these scenes, the protagonist's mecha hasn't appeared yet, so there's not much to see. Li Qian mainly wanted to see how the Hollywood crew shoots special effects shots for big scenes, and learn from them.
Since it wasn't there, forget it. Then Qiao arranged for two reporters to take two photos, saying that Li Qian came to the set to inspect and that he was really the producer, and that was it.
Then Li Qian went to the set of "Chill" again. He was also an investor after all, so since he was here, he stopped by to take a look.
After only one day in Xiangjiang, Li Qian flew north again and flew back to the capital.
It's completely fine now, and it's already March. We should seize the time to finish the remaining shots. We can start filming in April. Jiangning is also working hard to arrange the indoor studio, and the square in the exterior is almost the same.
