"A book like "Dragon" is really difficult to adapt. The scenes are grand, and the key background is Western. It has obvious characteristics of Nordic mythology. It may not fit well in China."
It was really boring, so Xu Zheng also joined the discussion and made a decent suggestion, "I think it is possible to strip out the emotional scenes and make a romance movie. Today's young audiences
More and more, they should like this kind of romance film."
Huang Bo interjected, "This "Dragon" you are talking about, what kind of dragon is it? The five-melon golden dragon in ancient mythology, or the kind of dragon in the West that has wings and can breathe fire?"
"Most of them are Western dragons." Guan Hu, who sat at the table next door to Huang Zhongjun, answered Huang Bo's question. "After all, the dragons in Eastern mythology have average fighting capabilities. They were either beaten up by a child from Nezha or robbed by monkeys who had just left the army.
Bao, the strength is not strong enough."
"The Eastern Dragon Clan is not as powerful as the Western Dragon Clan?" Li Qian smiled and said nothing.
"Does Director Li think something is wrong?" Guan Hu asked.
Li Qian leaned back slightly, sat back on the chair, and said, "The hero Siegfried in the German epic "The Nibelungenlied" used his mortal power to slay the dragon, and the hero Cadmus in Greek mythology was also a mortal.
, but can kill the dragon.
In many Western myths, there are human beings like dragon-slaying warriors. There are countless legends about mortals killing giant dragons. How can a giant dragon that can be killed by mortals be so powerful in combat? Have you ever seen dragons killed by mortals in Eastern mythology?
dead?"
"This..." After saying this, Guan Hu couldn't refute, so he thought for a while and said, "But in Eastern mythology, dragons do have a very low status. They are even tamed by gods and used as tools to pull carts for gods.
"
"Then there are dragon knights in the West, and they are all mortals. Being ridden by mortals, or pulling chariots for gods, which one do you think has a lower status?"
Guan Hu had nothing to say, but even if he couldn't speak to Li Qian, he didn't deny his point of view, but changed the topic.
"Director Li, I heard that your film "Return to Youth" will have scenes of the Beibang War and the Yue-Nan War?"
Guan Hu immediately became interested and asked curiously, "I wonder how Director Li would film this miraculous war?"
"miracle?"
Li Qian suddenly turned his head and looked at Guan Hu coldly, "The miracle that Director Guan mentioned refers to the victory of the Volunteer Army against the United Army led by Mi Lijian?"
Guan Hu said matter-of-factly, "Of course this is a miracle. Think about it, Director Li. At that time, our equipment was backward in all aspects, and the shortage of food and clothing also made the soldiers' physical fitness lag behind in all aspects. Mi Lijian had just become the biggest winner in World War II."
, the momentum also overwhelmed us, and in addition, logistics and transportation and other factors were all lagging behind. Isn’t it a miracle that that war could be won?"
Although this is true, Guan Hu's inexplicably inferior tone made Xu Zheng, Huang Bo, and Deng Chao present somewhat unhappy.
However, there seems to be nothing to refute. Even in terms of momentum, the momentum of joining forces from more than a dozen countries is quite strong.
Even Huang Xiaoming and Teng Huatao at the same table were a little embarrassed. The patriotic film "Wolf Warrior" that Li Qiangang invested in was a hit when it was released, and he also filmed a plot about the Beibei War. Guan Hu was saying such things here.
, it is indeed somewhat inappropriate.
However, Huang Zhongjun and Ma Xiaogang were a little happy when they saw that Li Qian did not immediately refute. It was rare for someone to be able to speak out against Li Qian.
"I really like Spielberg's war film "Saving Private Ryan". Although it tells the story of eight big-headed soldiers, it starts with Lin Ken's letter and ends with Marshall's letter. The will and belief of the organization
It was handed down layer by layer and implemented to every end at all costs. The pattern of the film was thus established, which is obviously different from the core of many war films."
Li Qian did not refute Guan Hu's words, but talked about a Hollywood blockbuster and praised it very much, which made Guan Hu feel proud.
Huang Zhongjun and Ma Xiaogang laughed at his inconsiderate words. It was rare to see Li Qian's words falter.
Xu Zheng and the others were a little surprised. Is this still the eloquent and straightforward Li Qian who won't back down?
However, Li Qian went on to say, "The military has the highest organizational power in the world, and war is a collision and duel of organizational power. The victory of any army has never depended on the advanced weapons and equipment.
As for how I will shoot that war, I will be able to find the answer in a few months, from the aspects of strategy, tactics, organization, and action, to show our victory in that war.
In addition, the Beibang War was a war between the most powerful army in the world at that time, composed of flesh-and-blood volunteer soldiers, and another top army in the world.
This is not some bullshit miracle. Even if everyone regards it as a miracle, it is still a "human trace" created by the warriors fighting to the death..."
This long speech made Guan Hu a little confused. He had never studied the Beibang War. How could he say so many heads of words? He could only stiffen his neck and say, "However, it is an indisputable fact that the American army is lagging behind in all aspects."
Li Qian looked at Guan Hu with disgust. He glanced at him sideways and said lightly, "It is true that the material conditions are poor, but this does not mean that our army is inferior to the American army. If Director Guan is so
If you admire the American army, I suggest you read a book written by Milijian, "The American Army in the Beibang War", or look for some historical materials published by Milijian's military, including the post-war summary of the American army.
Even the Mi Lijian people who are our opponents can recognize the strength of our army, but there are always some stupid and bad people in the country who don't mention the strength of our army and only see the powerful side of the Mi army. It's a bit ridiculous to think about it.
,sad."
As soon as these words came out, Guan Hu's face immediately turned ugly. He was either stupid or bad, or he was being said in disguise. That ridiculous and pathetic person was him.
After all, he was a well-known director, but to be scolded in person like this, even if that person was Li Qian, Guan Hu was extremely embarrassed.
"After the war, the development of the North Club in the past few decades was not as good as that of the South Club!"
Looking at Guan Hu who was losing his temper, Li Qian was angry. Instead, he smiled and said, "This reminds me of the conversations I had with netizens online who only knew how to type on the keyboard and didn't even know the basics of what was being discussed.
.
In the future, when the supervisor wants to discuss something with me, I advise you to do some research first, and at least understand the essence of the matter before we talk about it, and don't just talk about it."
Shaking his head, Li Qian turned around boredly and stopped talking to him.
I was a little angry at this kind of person at first, but I found out that he was similar to the keyboard warriors on the Internet, so I immediately stopped being angry. To treat this kind of person, just treat him like a fool.
Arguing with an idiot will make you look like an idiot yourself.
After being scolded and ignored, Guan Hu felt even more embarrassed, but in public, he couldn't get angry, and he couldn't talk to Li Qian, so he could only sulker bitterly.
Huang Zhongjun and Ma Xiaogang secretly said that it was a pity that they still couldn't convince Li Qian, but instead they were severely ridiculed.
Everyone else was a little embarrassed, including those at Li Qian's table. Tong Liya came closer and whispered, "Are you going too far? You invested in his movie "The Cook, the Actor, the Scoundrel" and helped you make money.
Here’s some money.”
By the way, this movie starring Liu Ye, Zhang Hanyu, and Huang Bo, after Li Qian's follow-up funds were invested, Huang Bo joined the team after filming "Thailand" and completed it. Then it was released in June and sold three
With a box office of over 100 million, I made a small profit.
Then, Guan Hu was targeted by Huayang. After all, a film with a cost of 40 million and a sales of 300 million was definitely a huge success. How could Huang Zhongjun not take such a hit director under his wing?
Therefore, Guan Hu attended this charity dinner with Huang Zhongjun, and has already confirmed his next movie, which is "Old Rascal"... Oh no, it is "Old Paoer", with Ma Xiaogang as the male lead
Number.
"To be precise, it was my vision that helped me make money. Moreover, it not only helped me make money, but also made him famous." Li Qian shrugged, so what if he made money? This kind of person deserves to be scolded.
Moreover, so many domestic gamers have helped Ma Huaqian earn so much money, and Penguin still cheats on them every day.
Although Xu Zheng and the others were a little embarrassed, except for Huang Bo, who had a friendship with Guan Hu, they didn't think there was anything wrong. After all, Li Qian, who was just starting out back then, could even take advantage of Ma Xiaogang.
Xu Zheng even laughed and said, "I haven't seen Director Li curse anyone in the past two years, but today reminds us of Director Li's demeanor in the past."
"It's wrong to curse people. Be harmonious. Be more harmonious." Li Qian shook his head.
Everyone is complaining, but you are the only one who keeps talking about harmony.
...
After an interlude, the charity gala officially began.
Although this is my first time to participate, I still know the process, that's all.
The performances by various celebrities made the atmosphere quite high. The main reason was that the fans were very excited, especially Wu Yifan, a young star. The girl fans at the scene were crying and shouting.
Li Qian has no interest in these programs. There are so many actors in the company, so he can watch any performance he wants at any time.
I don’t know how long it took before it was time for the charity auction.
However, before the auction, Harper's Bazaar first announced the charity fund's annual report, and then attached a series of their charitable deeds on the big screen, including aiding the construction of primary schools in impoverished mountainous areas, to show that they are truly charitable.
Li Qian bid on the first item to be auctioned. In addition to the others who raised the price symbolically a few times, he raised the price to one million. After raising the price to one million, he won a Van Cleef & Arpels brand with a water theme and the name was "
Hyd?r” ring.
The French translation is "Hai Duo"?
Li Qian didn't care what he was buying. Fortunately, it was a ring. Tong Liya could carry it, so she wouldn't have to buy it back and put it away in the ashes.
The auction continued. Huang Xiaoming at the next table bought a painting for 3 million, and Deng Chao also spent 900,000 for an oil painting.
However, "The Blue Boat" by Chinese-French painter Zao Wou-Ki, who died last year, was sold to 6.8 million by Zhang Ziyi.
No one bid again for two consecutive times, but the host didn't seem satisfied with the price.
"Are there any bids left? Can this be the first auction worth over 10 million tonight?"
"A previous painting by Zao Wou-Ki sold for more than 9 million yuan at Sotheby's auction!"
The host tried to raise the price twice in a row, but no one in the audience paid him any attention. He had no choice but to announce that Zhang Ziyi had won the bid for 6.8 million yuan.
However, when he went on stage to observe and receive the painting, the host joked, "It's hard for me to put down the price of 6.8 million for this painting. Can Ziyi add another 1 million?"
Zhang Ziyi did not hesitate at all and readily agreed. The guests on the stage applauded one after another, and some people stood up and applauded.
Because of the host's words, 6.8 million became 7.8 million, which was also the highest priced item tonight. Zhang Ziyi also stole the show.
Seeing this farce-like auction, even Li Qian, who was watching the show, was a little surprised. This was too childish. The price had already been set and confirmed three times. You could still add money when you went up to the stage to receive the painting.
However, Zhang Ziyi, whose image plummeted due to the fraud incident, this time paid 7.8 million, and tomorrow's news will be well publicized.
The auction continued, and next was a queen's ring. The big screen on the stage also introduced the ring, what kind of diamonds were used, and what kind of design it was.
Of course, like any precious jewelry, a little story must be added to it to highlight the value of the jewelry.
The host introduced that the design was inspired by Belgium many years ago. The king kissed the queen affectionately during the coronation ceremony, and the queen's arms were bent into a heart shape.
The diamonds inlaid on this ring are designed to be heart-shaped, with heart-shaped diamond edges and heart-shaped diamonds, symbolizing superimposed love and heart-to-heart connection.
This is really ridiculous. Heart-shaped diamond rings are everywhere. Aren’t they all commemorating that queen?
However, everyone was still very enthusiastic about bidding, and the starting price of 800,000 was immediately raised to 2 million.
Li Qian also discovered a very interesting phenomenon, that is, when the auction of any item just starts, there are always some people who are very excited and raise their placards frequently.
But these people didn't take any pictures. They only lifted it a few times at the beginning and then stopped.
However, at least they seemed very excited and enthusiastic, as you can see they raised their cards several times each time.
It's definitely not the guest of assistance. That's not what the guest of assistance is called. It should be those people who frequently participate in charity dinners and promote them, but never contribute any money.
In the blink of an eye, Huang Bo asked for another 2.5 million yuan for the ring. He had already raised the price four times before, and the price was very high.
At this time, Huang Zhongjun next door raised a sign and shouted 2.8 million, receiving waves of applause.
Huang Bo also applauded, then stood up with a microphone and said with a smile, "Actually, I am also a guest assisting in the filming today. Yes, I am basically a bait..."
Li Qian was immediately stunned. He always had a high emotional intelligence, why was he suddenly disconnected? At this time, there is nothing wrong with offering advice, but if you say that you are a bait, then Huang Zhongjun is the fish you caught.
As expected, the atmosphere at the scene was a little awkward. Li Qian glanced at Huang Zhongjun and his expression was not very good.
Li Qian winked at Xu Zheng, and he immediately understood. He pressed Huang Bo's shoulder with one hand and squeezed it hard. Huang Bo was a little dazed from the pain.
Xu Zheng raised his sign with his other hand, held it in front of Huang Bo to block him, and made a three sign.
Li Qian has already taken a photo, so it’s not easy to hold up another sign. Xu Zheng and Huang Botie are also suitable.
Deng Chao also stood up and looked around, then laughed and said, "Okay, Director Xu is bidding 3 million. Is there anyone else who bids? If not, this ring will belong to Director Xu. My sister-in-law will definitely like it."
PS: Not black, Huang Bo, this happened a few years ago.
In addition, after watching "King Kong River", I only want to say four words, look at the title.
