To say that Li Qian's new movie has two male leads from Huayang Media, the one who is most worried is undoubtedly Wang Changtian.
Guangxian Media is completely blank in the film industry and has nothing to offer.
Therefore, Li Qian, a potential director, was willing to cooperate. No matter what the conditions were, Wang Changtian did not bargain and agreed immediately.
Those who are barefoot are not afraid of those who wear shoes. Since they have nothing, they are not afraid of failure when the time comes.
But the two male leads, Li Qian, were cast by actors from Huayang Media, so Wang Changtian couldn't help but calm down.
So, Zhang Zhao was sent over early in the morning to check on the situation.
As the founder of Guangxian Pictures, Zhang Zhao didn't panic, fearing that Li Qian would turn around and cooperate with Huayang again.
But it's not good to be too direct. You can only test Li Qian's thoughts by making indirect remarks.
Li Qian had nothing to say, and there was no need to explain anything like this.
Is it possible that Cheng Cheng simply said that he would not hook up with Huayang and only wanted to find Zhang Hanyu because he was suitable?
Just like if you suspect your girlfriend is cheating on you, and you ask her, and she says she hasn’t, do you believe it?
So I changed the topic and asked about resource replacement.
Li Qian didn't want to say more, and Zhang Zhao didn't want to ask more questions.
Thinking about it carefully, there is no need for Li Qian to reject Hua Yang first, and then secretly hook up with Hua Yang while cooperating with Guangxian.
It’s not like playing Infernal Affairs.
It just so happened that I wanted to talk about this matter by the way today, so I mentioned several optoelectronics that I had already discussed.
"Basically, we have already negotiated. The four provinces of Jiangsu, Zhejiang, Jiangning, Western Sichuan, and Northern Hubei are interested in exchanging publicity resources for investment, with a total share of 15%."
Li Qian's eyes lit up. Guang Xian's connections in this area were really poor. These four provinces were all among the top ten provinces and cities in the country at the box office.
Moreover, the theater chains each control account for nearly half of the province's market, so there is nothing wrong with giving away 15% of the investment.
In the afternoon of that day, Li Qian signed a contract with each of the four provinces of Optoelectronics. They will provide corresponding publicity resources for "Black Hole Frequency" in exchange for 15% of the investment, which is resources worth 1.05 million.
After that, everything was fine. Li Qian continued to write the script in seclusion. He went to the Huairou studio twice and flew to the location.
On August 18, Li Qian completed the creation of text storyboards.
We also drew up storyboards after communicating some necessary shots, such as fight and chase scenes, with photography and art.
It took another ten days to hold meetings with the executive, photographer, lighting, and art director with the storyboard, pondering and discussing shot by shot, and making full preparations.
On August 28, everything was ready, a press conference was held, and then the production officially started.
After changing my clothes, I rushed to the hotel and met the main actors of the crew.
When everyone arrived, Li Qian said hello.
"Good morning everyone."
"Director Li, it's early."
Everyone also stood up one after another.
"Brother Hanyu, Brother Chao, you two get along well, the filming will start tomorrow." Li Qian looked at the two protagonists with a smile.
"It's good. It's totally fine for us brothers to play the kind of father-son relationship that's similar to brothers." Zhang Hanyu said.
"no problem."
Deng Chao is also used to it. When playing a son, just play a son. Anyway, a drama will pass quickly, so be patient.
"Sister Yuan Quan, your album is selling well."
Li Qian looked at Yuan Quan again, she would play the role of mother.
Yuan Quan shook his head and said with a smile, "The record industry is in a slump. Mainland China barely sold 100,000 copies, while Baodao only sold 7,000 copies."
For an actor, if it is not mixed with water, this figure is already very impressive. Yuan Quan is not Zhao Wei, and he can easily sell millions of copies based on his fame.
I had a few casual chats with each actor. Among the other actors, Wang Jinpeng played the role of a serial murderer and was also a great villain.
However, he changed his name at the end of last year to Wang Qianyuan. Guo Fan's previous information was a little lagging behind. After all, he is a relatively unknown actor.
In addition, Lei Jiayin plays a guest role as Deng Chao's childhood friend, and Tong Liya plays a guest role as Deng Chao's girlfriend.
After chatting for a while, the press conference soon began, and Li Qian led everyone to the conference hall next door.
This is the first time Li Qian has appeared in public, which also means that he has officially entered the entertainment industry.
From then on, even the director behind the scenes has become a public figure living under the spotlight.
Even though I had envisioned this day coming, I was still a little nervous when it came to it.
"Kacha! Kacha!"
As soon as I stepped into the venue, all I heard was the sound of cameras opening the door and the noisy discussions of reporters.
Needless to say, Guangxian's connections in national TV stations and media circles. Even if it is just a movie with an investment of tens of millions including promotion fees, the scale of the press conference is no less than that of some medium-sized productions.
The person who hosted the press conference was Zhang Zhao. After Li Qian and the actors took their seats, he began to introduce them to reporters.
"Welcome all friends from the media to come in and attend the press conference of the movie "Frequency of Life and Death". This is the director of our movie, and he is also the director of "Jaws" that you are familiar with, Li Qian."
In the end, the movie's name was changed. "Black Hole Frequency" can easily make the audience confused as to what it is about.
Wow
"The director of Jaws?"
"No way, so young?"
"Let me tell you, Guangxian has been trying to sell things off. He invited us here without even telling us about the movie."
"Li Qian looks like he's only in his twenties. Can he make "Jaws"?"
"I'm not doing internet movies anymore, I'm switching my career to making theatrical movies."
"Zhang Hanyu, Deng Chao, Yuan Quan, this lineup is good. Judging from the title, it should be a suspense film."
There was a burst of discussion in the audience. Although the film can be found in the Optoelectronic Registration Department, there are still only a few reporters who know that Li Qian is the director of "Jaws", let alone that Li Qian is so young.
Internet and movies are two different circles after all.
"Li...Director Li, are you really the director of "Jaws"?"
One reporter even asked such a stupid question.
Li Qian smiled and said, "It's guaranteed to be genuine."
"How old is Director Li this year?"
"23 years old."
This inquisitive person asked everything about Li Qian's age, the school he graduated from, and how he made "Jaws".
Fortunately, one of the reporters below was a good person, and he immediately asked questions about the movie itself.
"Hello Director Li, what type of movie is this "Frequency of Life and Death"?"
"As the title suggests, this is a crime suspense film, but it can also be said to be a science fiction crime suspense emotional film."
Sci-fi???
This was the first time that this word appeared in a mainland movie. The reporters present wondered if they had heard it wrong.
At the moment, no matter what kind of order there is, the reporters on the scene started to ask questions, or rather doubts, and became a quarrel.
"Director Li, you are saying that this is a science fiction film?"
"No domestic director has ever made a science fiction film. Why did Director Li choose this theme for his first film?"
"How much is the investment for "Frequency of Life and Death"?"
"May I ask Director Li, what kind of science fiction film is this about? The end of the world or an alien invasion?"
Science fiction film, a term that is somewhat unfamiliar to the Chinese film industry, made the reporters at the scene focus their attention on it. They did not even bother to interview other actors, and they all focused on Li Qian.
