Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 257 I have good vision

While Li Qiutang was in the United States discussing cooperation, the male and female protagonists of "In Time" Liu Ye, Liu Yifei, the chief producer Huang Jianxin and the chief screenwriter attended the "In Time" expert seminar jointly organized by the Film Association and the Film Critics Society.

The seminar conducted in-depth discussions from multiple angles, including the breakthroughs and innovations of "In Time" in the creation and production of science fiction films, and its impact on the future film market.

It was Liu Yifei's first time to attend an official seminar of this scale, and she was very nervous. She wrote her speech herself, revising it over and over again until the night before the seminar when she finalized it.

Liu Yifei appeared in a women's casual suit that day, and she and Liu Ye sat on both sides of Huang Jianxin.

"... Then I would like to briefly talk about the creative process and mental journey of "In Time" from the perspective of an actor. In fact, when Director Li Qiutang and Teacher Huang Jianxin found me, I heard that the character of Lan Xin had changed so much. She changed from a rich lady who was loved by everyone to a strong warrior. I wondered what kind of power prompted Lan Xin to undergo such a big change. After reading the first draft of the script, I still couldn't quite grasp Lan Xin's transformation. Director Li Qiutang gave me a long list of books. He said, you will know after reading this book. I want to say something, and I know why Lan Xin changed... We didn't let Lan Xin be superficial and risk her life for love. The director said that love is too small in "In Time"... "In Time" can achieve such a great success, thanks to the efforts of all colleagues in front of and behind the scenes of the crew. We worked in the studio when Hengdian was the hottest. Thank you China Film Group, thank you Mr. Han, thank you Mr. Huang Jianxin, thank you director Li Qiutang, thank you photographer Mr. Cao Dun, thank you Mr. Cao Ping of Autumn Pictures, thank you Guangxian Pictures and Orange Sky Entertainment, thank you. "

Liu Yifei nodded and put away her folder.

The whole audience applauded.

Huang Jianxin poured cold water on the development of domestic science fiction films at the seminar. He said: "In Time is a milestone for domestic science fiction, but domestic science fiction is still a young seedling. The market is still full of distrust of domestic science fiction. The future of domestic science fiction is bright, but the road is tortuous. However, In Time is a good example. Domestic science fiction still has a long and difficult road to go. Thank you."

The seminar lasted for 2 hours, and the content discussed afterwards had basically nothing to do with Liu Yifei personally.

After the seminar, Liu Yifei left.

She has already got the script of "Introduction to Architecture". The crew is scheduled to start filming next month and the main actors have almost been confirmed.

Xue Xiaolu and Jin Yimeng have decided on Liao Fan and Hao Lei for the middle-aged male and female protagonists, but they have not yet decided on the young male protagonist.

After Liu Yifei found out, she recommended her classmate Luo Jin to Xue Xiaolu.

Luo Jin is basically isolated from the film industry, but in the drama industry, he can get some good resources and can shoot two or three dramas a year. He currently has four TV series waiting to be broadcast.

Luo Jin was very grateful to his old classmate for recommending him to act in a movie, and to work with her. He rushed to Yanjing without stopping after receiving Liu Yifei's call.

The car stopped directly in front of the Hutu Hotel. Luo Jin didn't even take a break and went straight into the audition room of the crew.

In fact, there is nothing to audition for. The actresses recommended them. As long as they are not too ugly, Xue Xiaolu and Jin Yimeng are willing to use them.

As the biggest star in the crew, Liu Yifei has this power.

Who told the investors to see that "In Time" was a huge hit and "The Beauty Inside" made a profit in four days, so they directly paid for "Introduction to Architecture" without saying a word?

Is it because of Jin Yimeng?
Moreover, Luo Jin’s professional ability was not bad. After trying two scenes, he was hired on the spot.

Luo Jin said he would treat Liu Yifei to dinner and singing in the evening: "Invite the group of people from our class. We haven't gotten together for a long time."

But Liu Yifei declined: "Maybe in two days. I have work to do today."

In fact, Liu Yifei didn’t have work today because Li Qiutang came back from the United States today.

At 9 o'clock in the evening, Liu Yifei picked up her boyfriend and they went home together.

In the car, Liu Yifei told Li Qiutang about "Introduction to Architecture". Li Qiutang didn't have any objection. The investors saw that Liu Yifei gave money, so Liu Yifei had the power.

"How does it feel to do this for the first time?" Li Qiutang asked with a smile.

"Not bad. So this is what it feels like to be a boss and stuff people into the crew."

Li Qiutang said, "It's still a long way to go. The cost of 'Introduction to Architecture' is low, and the competition among investors is small. Let's try a big movie. Even if you have money, you may not be able to get it in."

Isn’t it true? A few days ago, Li Qiutang spent 2000 million US dollars to get people in.

The two arrived at Li Qiutang's apartment, and Liu Yifei picked up the phone: "Are you hungry? I'll ask the restaurant to send up some food."

"Eating is better than eating for your own good." Li Qiutang picked up Liu Yifei.

"Oh my! After sitting on a plane for more than ten hours, you still have this thought in your mind!"

"I slept all the way and now I'm full of energy." "No, it's not convenient for me today." Liu Yifei said.

"It wasn't this day last month."

"It's a few days early, stop making trouble." Liu Yifei got down from Li Qiutang's arms and called the restaurant to order food. "Go wash first, you smell terrible."

After Li Qiutang finished taking a shower, Liu Yifei had already put the food on the table. He said, "It would be great if you cooked it."

Liu Yifei laughed and said, "I don't know how. What I cook isn't as delicious as what the hotel chef makes." Liu Yifei seemed to have never thought about learning to cook for her boyfriend.

The two ate and talked, and Li Qiutang said that he had negotiated a co-production film during his trip to the United States.

"It's a big production. I paid 2000 million US dollars!"

Li Qiutang continued to act cool: "The director asked me to choose the female lead for them. I hate casting the most. It's so troublesome.

"Hey, do you know who would be suitable? She'd have to be young and pretty, and good at English. She'd also better have some skills, because there are a lot of action scenes."

Liu Yifei stared.

"Tsk, you are so unpopular in the industry, how many actresses can you know? I'd better find one myself."

Liu Yifei's teeth were almost broken.

"The legendary mecha monster movie will start shooting this year, and we have to go into the crew for action training in advance. Why are you looking at me? You're eating too."

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "Give it to me, please."

"Is this your attitude of begging for help?"

Liu Yifei sat next to Li Qiutang and pulled his arm: "I'm young and beautiful, I speak good English, and I can fight. Please give me this role."

"2000 million US dollars, you are not worth that much." Li Qiutang continued to tease her.

Liu Yifei simply sat on his lap and kissed him: "How about this?"

"This is worth at most 500 million."

Liu Yifei smacked her lips and said, "This is worth 2000 million. I'll give you another one, Mua."

"You do business this way." Li Qiutang found it funny.

"500 million for a kiss, and I'll give you one more." Liu Yifei also knew that her boyfriend was teasing her.

"Okay, okay, come down. I want to eat. I didn't say I wouldn't give it to you. Why are you so impatient?"

Liu Yifei sat next to him.

"But we've agreed that you have to go to the audition, meet Toro and Thomas Tull, and do your best. Don't let them down."

"Don't worry, I understand this."

Liu Yifei watched Li Qiutang eat and suddenly laughed, "How come I found such a good boyfriend?"

"Now you know I'm fine?"

"I have good taste."
