Perfect Life - v5 Chapter 128

In fact, Minghu Culture does not lack directors, but it lacks big directors with international perspectives.

Moreover, after laying a solid foundation, today’s Minghu Culture is running at full speed like a machine with full horsepower. The burdens on the shoulders of the directors are not light, and there is a lot of work.

Forget about TV dramas, just in terms of movies this year, Minghu Culture has a total of five works planned to be released. Among them, “Crazy Racing” is currently being shown, and the works planned to be filmed this year are already in the plan. as many as seven.

This does not include “Transformers”, does not include “Kung Fu Panda” which is still being filmed, and does not include the first film shooting plans of the two new directors that are still being evaluated by the film and television department.

Han Shunzhang’s first film director’s work “Police Story” focuses on launching another rookie actor of Minghu Culture, named Chen Haodong. It has already started after the Spring Festival. It is expected to be completed in May and will be released in time for Christmas and New Year’s Day.

Jin Han’s “A Chinese Ghost Story” is currently in the post-production stage, and this is definitely going to get a summer file to have a head-to-head with Hollywood blockbusters. Jin Han is very confident in his work, but he has made it clear that even if it is a box office No matter how successful it is, he won’t be directing the sequel.

But once the film succeeds, a sequel is almost inevitable. The current plan is for Fang Baijin, who has produced two films for Jin Han, to direct the second part of “A Chinese Ghost Story”. And if there is no accident, when the box office results of Jin Han’s “A Chinese Ghost Story” come out, preparations for the second film there will start, and filming will start in August and September at the latest.

As for Jin Han, although he declined “Transformers”, he is the most powerful among the current batch of directors of Minghu Culture, and he has a certain international vision, so everyone has discussed it before, and he also agreed to the next step. Will go to the United States for a year, responsible for the production of a Sino-foreign joint venture, that is, a film jointly invested by Minghu Culture and Columbia – a Chinese director, to Jinhan’s current stage, as long as “A Chinese Ghost Story” To succeed again, this way to enter the international stage is almost inevitable.

In the past, going to Hollywood to make a movie, or going to Europe to win an award, can be understood as gilding, that is, to raise the price and prove achievements. Now, this aspect may not be so important, but after the Chinese market is established, Going out and participating in international cooperation, understanding Hollywood’s production methods, production process, and even understanding many subconscious film ideas in the hearts of Hollywood filmmakers, will be a very valuable thing for a successful Chinese director. .

For Chinese films to go into the world, they must first learn about other parts of the world.

Therefore, after Jin Han rejected “Transformers”, Li Qian planned to make a real action blockbuster for him, who had always wanted to make “real action films” and wanted to try “sharp editing”.

“Bourne Bourne”!

At that time, He Yingyu will be thrown over to play the heroine and consolidate her popularity in Europe and the United States.

Of course, this is the first time that Jin Han has worked on a film of this type, and he still has to work with a group of Chinese and Hollywood joint filming teams. Li Qian will be a little worried, so when the time comes, he plans to help him to keep an eye on it. On the other hand, he was also preparing to ask John Days to be a producer for him in the past.

With John Dyce, an old fritter with both ability and skill, who can help Jin Han, he can rest assured that he only needs to stare at Jin Han and make a movie.

In addition to Jin Han, Zhao He’s “Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons” has also been filmed and is in the post-production stage. However, this film is not planned to be scheduled for the summer. The distribution department plans to arrange it in September. Or it will be released in October – Zhao He is a little unhappy, after all, although his upper drama “Shaolin Temple” is a little worse than “Once Upon a Time in Man”, it is still not low, but he was advised by the distribution department to avoid the summer vacation. files.

Zhao He can be regarded as an honest person, and he is very down-to-earth in doing things, but when an honest person has a small temper, it is even more difficult to say hello-although the “Journey to the West” series is the outline of the story proposed by Li Qian, and the basic setting and direction of the whole story. , but the outline was honed little by little by Zhao He and the screenwriter team.

If it is said that the “Once Upon a Time” series was created by Li Qian, “Once Upon a Time of Man” is Zhao He’s success with the entire series, and “Shaolin Temple” is also sold by Zhou Baoshan, then he thinks that this “Journey to the West” , should be able to be largely classified as their own exclusive works.

As long as this movie is successful, it will be able to prove its ability.

As a result, “Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons” couldn’t compete with Jin Han’s “A Chinese Ghost Story”. Although Zhao He was not angry, he was somewhat angry, so he asked the second part to be put into production immediately.

After reading the rough cut of “Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons”, Li Qian nodded in agreement.

Therefore, in April and May of this year, the second part of the “Journey to the West” series, which was finally named “Journey to the West: Lady White Bones”, will start filming.

Well, to put it another way, Zhu Qiang, who played the role of Tang Sanzang in the movie, has already filled up this year’s schedule.

There is no need to find an outside film appointment. This year, the three productions on Minghu Culture have basically taken up almost all of his time for the whole year-from the start of the film in September last year, and after the New Year’s Day this year, to In mid-January, “Journey to the West: Conquering the Demons” was completed. After taking a breath, the filming of “Journey to the West: Lady White Bone” will begin. Assuming that the schedule starts in April, if the filming reaches August, then the second part of “A Chinese Ghost Story” will be released. It’s about to be connected, this time, it will be filmed until the end of the year.

Then, there is Feng Bicheng.

“Crazy Stone” is still in theaters, but when he came back after the promotion, he had already talked to Li Qian about the new movie plan, and Li Qian had read the script a few days ago and only adjusted a few places. It was signed and approved-the script outline and character design were originally provided by him.

Feng Bicheng’s new film is called “Speed ​​Scandal”.

Well, the male lead is Zhou Zhiyu. As for the female lead, because of Jin Han’s strong recommendation, Li Qian also thinks it is quite suitable – mainly because she is young, and in modern dramas, she will look very tender – so I decided on “A Chinese Ghost Story”. , Lu Xiaosu, an actress who was discovered by Jin Han to play Nie Xiaoqian.

Well, this is a very interesting and fun girl.

Li Qian has been in contact with her several times. This girl has an eccentric and interesting personality, and is completely different from the Nie Xiaoqian she played in “A Chinese Ghost Story”. Therefore, Li Qian believes that she should be able to play the young unmarried mother who can sing and dance well in “Speed ​​Scandal”.

By the way, she said it herself, her original name was not Lu Xiaosu, just because she was too noisy since she was a child. Later, her father was really unbearable and changed her name to Lu Xiaosu – Sanguoli, Lu Suna He was the second Grand Governor of Soochow Wu. It was said that he was diligent and careful, so Lu Xiaosu’s father hoped that he could use this name to suppress his daughter and make her stop talking so much in the future.

Well, of course, the effect is not very good.

In addition to “Bourne Bourne”, this year’s co-production plan between Minghu Culture and Colombia also includes a love-themed movie. Li Qian also plans to use this movie to send another director internationally, and then the heroine will also Take it by the way.

Of course, Lu Lingxi is the best at love movies in Minghu Culture.

As for the heroine, Qin Jingjing is tentatively decided.

Well, the current script of this play, Li Qian has already revised it, and it’s called “The Love of Human Ghosts”.

In addition, Minghu Culture also plans to invest in two other films this year, one is to participate in the investment, and the director is a new film by Guan Ziping, the director of last year’s popular “Happy Family”, which is invested by Lehe Film Company 70% , enjoys copyright, Minghu Culture invests 30%, and enjoys global distribution rights.

Well, after “A Happy Family” proved his ability to make comedy, Guan Ziping changed his path. This time it is an action film. The film is tentatively titled “Murder License”, and the planned total investment is 50 million Chinese yuan.

The heroine of the movie is currently inviting Qin Jingjing.

The other drama is interesting. It is called “Bragging Makes Progress”. It is a book created by Mu Xiaoshuai, the head of the screenwriting team of the Minghu Culture Film and Television Department. Han Shunzhang solemnly recommended it, and Jin Han praised it. , Feng Bicheng hopes to leave it for himself to shoot next year, and Li Qian also praised it after reading it.

But Mu Xiaoshuai said that he hoped that he could be a director and shoot this book.

As a graduate of the 93-level screenwriting department of Shuntian Film Academy, it has been four or five years since he joined Minghu Culture and has been the head of the screenwriting team. Mu Xiaoshuai’s qualifications and qualifications are all there. Of course, Li Qian has no reason to have to. I had to stop him from filming by himself, but I just planned to send Sun Yuting, who had a little more experience than him, to be an assistant director for him, lest he, a screenwriter, be unable to control the crew.

As for the actors of this play, he also left it to him to choose.

As a result, he came to the door one by one with the script, and almost effortlessly persuaded every actor he wanted – the three leading actors, Huang Ge, Liu Zhongxin, and Zhong Yuanfu. The only important female character, Lu Lingxi.

With such a book, Li Qian looked at the planning book and knew that the three actors he was looking for, Mu Xiaoshuai was really good at heart, and he was very stable!

…………

The company’s production plan for this year was in a mess in his head. Suddenly, at a certain moment, Li Qian stopped. Then he sat up straight, tapped his fingers on the coffee table rhythmically for half a minute, and then picked up the phone. Made a call.

“The Transformers we’re going to do with Columbia, you know that, right?”

“Ang, I know, what’s wrong?”

“If I say, I want to give it to you to shoot and shoot the 3D version directly, would you dare?”

“Then what’s wrong with that?”

“At least it starts with an investment of 200 million US dollars, maybe it can reach 250 million US dollars, which is comparable to “Avatar”. If you lose it, you can…”

“Don’t worry! You don’t know me yet? I never knew how to write fear! If it’s a big deal, I’ll fight you for the rest of my life! Can you still give me a meal?”

“Really not worried?”

“No worries!”

“Okay! That’s you!”

…………

At the beginning of March, Minghu Culture officially announced that it would build Feng Bicheng’s personal studio and He Yingyu’s personal studio. Then, Liu Chengzhang announced that he signed a contract with Minghu Culture and would build on the basis of the personal studio that had been suspended and lost its affiliation. The brand new Liu Chengzhang personal studio is affiliated with Minghu Culture.

So far, Minghu Culture has announced that there are as many as seven individual studios to be established and affiliated, namely: Feng Yumin, Jin Han, Han Shunzhang, Bai Yujing, Liu Chengzhang, He Yingyu and Feng Bicheng.

At this point, many people in the industry have predicted that Zhou Baoshan’s departure from Minghu Culture is a foregone conclusion.

Many people gloat over the misfortune and feel that Li Qian, an international superstar who has worked so hard to win him up, didn’t see the prison and ran away like this. Some people think that it should be because the two sides did not agree on the remuneration of the sequel to “The Matrix”. , which led to Zhou Baoshan’s decision to leave Minghu Culture, and Minghu Culture had to temporarily shelve the sequel plan of “The Matrix” because the male protagonist was not finished.

In short, there is nothing to say.

As for “The Matrix”, a super blockbuster such as “The Matrix”, which ranks second in the global box office, the sequel plan has been temporarily shelved. Countless people in the industry sighed: I think these two sides are really stupid! Zhou Baoshan’s asking price is lower, and Minghu Culture’s offer is higher, so it’s over. Let’s work together to make money!

The result is good. Now the sequel plan has been put on hold. Minghu Culture is vainly putting a movie that is more profitable than the “Once Upon a Time” series, and it is not easy to make a film. Although Zhou Baoshan has left and is free, he also lost this. This can help him consolidate The best-selling series of global film status!

But at this time, just after the establishment ceremony of Liu Chengzhang, Feng Bicheng and He Yingyu’s studios, in March 2006, Minghu Culture held several press conferences and intensively announced the next production plan – when These plans have been released one after another~www.mtlnovel.com~ Countless people in the industry are dumbfounded.

Among them, “Transformers”, which will be jointly invested and filmed by Columbia and Minghu Culture, made everyone stunned and shouted that they couldn’t understand——

The “Transformers” live-action movie is planned to have a total investment of 230 million US dollars, of which Columbia Pictures will invest 180 million US dollars and Minghu Culture will invest 50 million US dollars. -IMAX plus 2D synchronization to shoot, the main location will be in many countries around the world.

The producers of the film are Li Qian and John Days, and the director of the film is the director who once directed the third part of “Princess of the Pearl”, but for many years he has mainly been the assistant director of Li Qian’s films. Sun Yuting, whose identity appears in the credits.

A…small…TV director!

Jump into directing a mega-production with an investment of more than 200 million US dollars!

After seeing the name Sun Yuting and figuring out who she is, whether in China or Hollywood, everyone feels that they can wait and see the joke.
