Zhang Wei is a movie lover. On average, he goes to the cinema to watch dozens of movies a year, and even more movies are watched online. Moreover, after some movies are released from theaters, they still require membership to be screened online. For this reason, he basically
Membership on all platforms has been opened.
Movies have become a hobby for Zhang Wei. He watches basically all South Korean thrillers, Japanese and Japanese suspense films, and Hollywood blockbusters, except for some musicals by his third brother.
Halfway through the performance, he started singing and dancing. Those who didn't know it thought it was an idol group audition.
In addition to watching movies, Zhang Wei goes to Optoelectronics’ movie e-government platform basically every month to check out the newly registered movie information.
While his roommate was still clicking the keyboard and greeting his teammates, Zhang Wei clicked on the official website of the Optoelectronics Film E-Government Platform on a whim.
Click to open the national film registration and project announcement in early April.
50 movie projects were approved in 10 days, watch them one by one.
"Notes on Dissecting the Veil": Three students with different specialties accidentally discovered an unsolved case file in Professor Zeng's computer. Driven by curiosity, the three of them launched a case simulation investigation, mysterious underground base, and mines.

"What about robbing tombs?"
"prison Break"?
"Jiao's Qin"?
"Saving Tom"?
"Where's Jerry?"
"What the hell are they?"
Zhang Wei went through the registration information of more than 50 movies and complained all the way.
The roommates have long been accustomed to the behavior of movie lovers, so they joked, "I said to Zhang Wei, you like movies so much, why don't you go to film school, even though your image as an actor is a bit unsatisfactory."
“It’s not that bad”
Zhang Wei suddenly shouted, startling several roommates.
"I lost it, why are you so crazy!"
"I almost counterattacked, but I was so scared that I made a mistake."
"What movie is so exciting?"
"The screenwriter of "Flight of Destiny" is Li Qian. Li Qian has finally launched a new movie." After Zhang Wei confirmed that he had read it correctly, he shouted excitedly.
"What the hell?"
"Which Li Qian?"
"Is Li Qian's new movie about to start filming?"
Even if they are not movie buffs, the roommates will go and watch any popular movies. They have not missed any of Li Qian's movies and have watched them one after another.
"It's really Li Qian's new film. What is "Flight of Destiny"?"
Zhang Wei clicked on the storyline and read out the plot introduction, which was less than a hundred words long.
“During the summer vacation of 2015, a passenger plane bound for Hainan from Chongqing suddenly disappeared without a trace.
Five years later, in 2020, the plane that had long been considered a crash reappeared and landed safely.
The problem is that in the eyes of others, five years have passed since this incident, but no one on the plane was aware of it. Things have changed and people have changed. A group of people who have spanned five years will face huge changes in their lives."
"Is this M Airlines?" Roommates, you look at me and I look at you, they look too alike, right?
Nowadays, many things are semi-public and can be found by just searching online.
For example, the registration of movie scripts and projects has only been available in recent years. In the past, Optoelectronics did not have an e-government platform and would not disclose this information. It would only select some scripts and movies that have passed the review and those that have not.
Get the information out.
Now, Optoelectronics can check basically all movie scripts and project approval information, and at least 150 movies are approved a month.
Of course, there are so many projects approved, and it is up to the producers whether to film them or not. Anyway, there are not 1,800 movies released in China a year.
The registration news for "Flight of Destiny" was quickly discovered and reposted online.
Li Qian, who has been waiting for so long, has finally approved the project for his new film, which has excited the fans who have been waiting eagerly for it.
"It finally came out. Li Qian still remembers that he is a director!"
"Li Qian's company went public and his net worth increased dramatically, reaching tens of billions. I thought I would stop making movies."
"It's been three years. Do you know how I've spent these three years? I've had enough of watching bad movies every day!"
"Three years ago? When was "Rejuvenation" filmed?"
"Stop talking, you can accept it if you sharpen your sword for four years. Just don't be like Mr. Xing and make a bad movie like "Journey to the West: Demons" to fool me."
"But how come this plot synopsis of "Flight of Destiny" looks a bit like Air M?"
"What do you mean it's a bit similar? It's just good."
"A plane that disappeared for five years suddenly appeared. This is a science fiction movie. Why is the plot classified as drama, emotion, and inspiration?"
"No matter what genre it is, you can look forward to Li Qian's movie anyway."
"No wonder the script was rejected before. The subject matter is a bit sensitive."
"But what kind of story is this? The people on the plane don't know that they have disappeared for five years, so why have they been there for the past five years? The plane can't have been flying in the sky for five years. There is not enough fuel, and
Five years without eating or drinking?”
"Did you encounter a black hole in space and time and travel through time and space?"
""Flight of Destiny", what does fate mean? If something is destined to happen, then everyone on the plane will die one after another?"
"Hey guys, it's become a suspense movie again."
"Isn't this the story of ghost flights? There are a lot of such stories on the Internet. Various planes suddenly appeared after a few years, or even fifty years, but neither the plane nor the people on board noticed it."
As the movie market slowed down, Li Qian's new film suddenly became a hot topic related to film and television.
Although the filing information revealed a lot of information this time, fans are still confused and have fallen into various speculations.
Like movie fans, the industry was shocked when they received the news.
Although there were no Li Qian films in the film market in the past two or three years, the films that his company invested and distributed began to wipe out the entire industry.
"Mermaid" has more than 3 billion, "Wolf Warrior 2" has more than 5 billion, "Hong Kong" has 2 billion, and there are several movies with a box office of 1 billion, but they are still unbeatable in the film industry.
Although Li Qian's "Rejuvenation", which had the highest box office of 2.8 billion, had already been pulled down and ranked third in film history, that was at the end of 2014, and it has been two and a half years.
Two and a half years ago, Li Qian could earn 2.8 billion in box office. No one would doubt Li Qian's box office appeal and ability.
If there are no accidents, "Flight of Destiny" will be another hit.
However, even as rivals, major companies in the industry have absolute confidence in Li Qian's film, but when I saw the title and the plot synopsis, I still felt weird.
Directors in the industry are of course paying more attention to the new films of Li Qian, the number one commercial film director in the industry.
As a director, as long as he is given a subject, he almost knows the direction of the shooting. However, Li Qian's plane suddenly disappeared and suddenly appeared again after five years. Many directors in the industry speculated that it was either science fiction or suspense, or both.
.
There are many legends about this kind of ghost flight on the Internet, but there seems to be no similar movie. Colleagues are very curious about how Li Qian filmed this novel story.
Of course, there are also those who are dismissive.
"Mysterious!"
Ma Xiaogang, who was filming the new film "Youth" in western Yunnan, was very disapproving. He laughed and said, "I'm just taking advantage of the heat. Li Qian has exhausted his talents!"
Ma Xiaogang was teasing Li Qian here, but the others couldn't answer the question and remained silent.
In fact, although Ma Xiaogang is so happy, he is also very worried. "I'm Not Pan Jinlian" failed at the box office. Although this time "Youth" was already confirmed to be filmed, the script was already written and ready, but
After all, it's not a very commercial film.
Ma Xiaogang was worried. If the audience didn't like watching this time, the betting contract would be in big trouble. He might have to make a comedy to complete the betting contract.
However, on the surface, Ma Xiaogang still commented on Li Qian's new film with a proud smile on his face.
In addition, Guan Hu Huiben Teng Huatao, who has always been worried about Li Qian, is also paying attention to Li Qian all the time.
As the saying goes, the people who care about you the most and know you best are often your enemies.
Although it was too much to call him an enemy, it was still a bit unpleasant. Both Guan Hu and Teng Huatao felt a sense of energy in their hearts.
Now that Li Qian's new movie was announced, not only were the two not nervous, but they were even more excited.
"Wolf Warrior 2" sold 5 billion yuan. Guan Hu became more confident in "The Eight Hundred," which is also a war movie and is more touching. It's just a pity that "The Eight Hundred" is a war movie and takes time.
Qian's new film was released at the same time, and the truth came out.
The same goes for Teng Huatao. He worked hard and wanted to prove himself. After seeing the news about Li Qian's new film, he also had the idea of comparing it.
Li Qian didn't know that besides movie fans, there were so many people who were thinking about him. After the movie project was approved, it was time to set up the set and location teams, select locations, and set up the studio.
Then there's the casting.
For such a long time, Li Qian has carefully considered the candidates for each role, and most of them have a good idea.
For big directors, there is no such thing as large-scale auditions.
All the actors in the industry are almost allowed to be chosen by the big directors at will. It is not a big problem to hire anyone they want, and few actors will refuse the plays of the big directors.
Those with good acting skills and suitable for the role can basically be found among first- and second-tier actors.
Moreover, a movie is not a TV series, and there are only so many roles that can play a role. Unlike a TV series, after dozens of episodes, there are too many supporting roles, and these supporting roles require not only first-line actors, but even second-tier actors cannot afford them, so large-scale auditions are required.
Li Qian gave the list of several Italian actors to the production department and asked them to contact them for auditions in a few days.
"Who are you planning to find to star opposite me?" Tong Liya glanced at the list on the email and asked curiously.
"I haven't decided yet. Let's see when the time comes." Li Qian shook his head. Tong Liya plays the heroine in the movie, which is the hero's sister.
Five years later, after experiencing grief, the original fiancé got a new girlfriend and got engaged. This new girlfriend was also her best friend.
This plot is a bit cliché. According to the plot of a normal bloody TV series, there will definitely be a fight.
However, no one is at fault here. The man was sad and confused for two or three years, but a girl who had always liked him pulled him out and spent that dark time with him, and it was completely from the heart.
There is nothing wrong. After all, Tong Liya died five years ago. No one would have thought that the dead could be resurrected.
Therefore, that best friend cannot die like the character Green Tea. In a certain aspect, she is even more positive than the character Tong Liya.
It’s not easy to find, and it also depends on whether the three of you are compatible enough.
"Then when will it be filmed? I still have a unit in "The Loveliest Person" and I also have to star in a unit in "My Motherland and Me". Don't rush into it together." Tong Liya started calculating the schedule again.
"Those movies were released in 2019 or 20, so they can't be missed. Besides, I'm the chief director, so I can't just leave them alone. I will arrange the time well."
Li Qian was also tired. Although there were 14 directors in those three films, he still had to keep an eye on it. This was a film of a political mission, and it was not as simple as making a few hundred million more or less.
Tong Liya was a little worried, "These four movies are not simple. I was worried that someone on the Internet would scold you for taking advantage of the popularity and making a fortune, but fortunately no one said such things."
"What's the point?" Li Qian smiled, "Any director in the industry can be hacked, but no one can hack me. Those previous films have already gained enough popularity among the audience."
It is difficult for a person who is considered a good person and a positive figure by the public to be hacked, not to mention that Li Qian also has many supporters.
A public figure who is not popular with the audience can even be said to be a villain. Just post photos and make up a news story, and he will be trolled by netizens for two days.
This phenomenon is actually not a good thing, but it is the reality.
As far as Li Qian's reputation is concerned, he can't be blamed for making a fortune by riding on the popularity.
If it were Ma Xiaogang, he probably would have been sprayed.
Moreover, it has been three years since the incident happened.
To be honest, there is a director from Third Brother who made a movie called "Vanishing Act" in 2014. It was based on M aerial photography and was positioned as a thriller.
The film was finished, but it was not released. The director released a 90-second trailer at a film festival the year before last with the slogan "The Untold Story of the Missing Flight M."
In the trailer, two crew members secretly kissed on the plane, and another crew member showed an angry look after seeing it. There was also a shot showing someone pulling the trigger of a pistol, and there was even a simulated scene of an accident on a passenger plane.
Vigorously create a suspenseful and thrilling atmosphere.
However, even though the film was sold at major film festivals, it was criticized miserably.
The third brother's brain circuit is just different. It is said that he spent millions of dollars to make this film, but it has not been sold yet.
Li Qian ignored the outside discussion about the content of the movie and started auditioning for the movie.
There are several key supporting roles in the movie, and some companies have suitable actors, so they are decided first.
In the morning, there was a knock on the office door, and Peng Yuchang opened the door and came in.
"Boss, are you looking for me?"
Li Qian smiled and pointed to the sofa next to him, "Sit down, Peng Peng, how have you been in the company these two years?"
"It's okay. I just finished filming "Take My Brother Away" which you wrote, boss."
Peng Yuchang rubbed his head and sat down on the sofa casually. Over the past few years, he had become familiar with it and had dinner together in private every New Year.
"That's just right. There's a role for you. Take a look."
Li Qian handed over a folder and smiled, "For a supporting role in the new film, you play the son of a pork vendor. With the full expectations of his uncultured father, he flies to Hainan to go to college, but when he lands,
Five years have passed and everyone in the same class has graduated."
