Entertainment: I am the peak

Chapter 93: Not a Toy! (1010 Request First Order)
During the cooperation with Huayi, the biggest friction between the two sides was naturally on "Famous". But then again, no matter what kind of cooperation, there will be differences and contradictions. It is impossible for Li Qiutang to be a dog for Huayi just because the two sides are in a cooperative relationship, and Huayi is unlikely to unconditionally meet Li Qiutang's needs.

Cooperation takes place amidst disagreements and compromises.

Wang Zhonglei also gave compensation afterwards, including a premium of 1000 million and original shares. This apology was not light.

In order to avoid being disturbed, Li Qiutang went from Bincheng to Zhuolu. The most important interior scene of Qiuzhuang in "The Sound of the Wind" is located here. Hiding in the small town of Zhuolu, not many people are looking for him.

If you can't find someone, you can call. Li Qiutang's phone has been ringing non-stop in the past few days, all day and night.

"Kung Fu Panda" earned tens of millions of box office on the first day, knocking "Get Famous" off the throne of single-day box office champion.

By the day Kung Fu Panda was released, the total box office of Fame exceeded 8000 million.

"Kung Fu Panda" grossed 3 million in the first three days of its weekend, while "Fame and Fame" only earned less than 3800 million in these three days.

It can be said that it has been severely squeezed.

Both films are comedies, so the competition is fierce.

On Monday of the new week, Li Qiutang was interviewed and talked about Kung Fu Panda: "I went to see it, it was really good, it's a good movie."

"There are voices online calling for a boycott of Kung Fu Panda, saying that Hollywood has plagiarized Chinese elements and that they are using our Chinese things to make money from us Chinese people," said the reporter.

Li Qiutang thought this kind of talk was ridiculous and said, "Then movies are definitely imported products. Don't be so narrow-minded. We have always said to go out and go out. When we go out, we should allow others to film our things. We can also broaden our horizons and see how our things will be filmed in different cultural contexts. As long as it is not disrespectful, I think this kind of creation should be allowed and even encouraged.

“Judging from Kung Fu Panda, they did a good job.”

"Then why don't we have something like Kung Fu Panda? Kung Fu is Chinese, and pandas are Chinese, but Kung Fu Panda is American."

Li Qiutang said: "Don't worry. Our market is still too small, the technology has not caught up, and the creative thinking has not been fully liberated. It will happen, don't worry."

Back to "Famous", the film's box office has basically exceeded 100 million yuan. The reporter asked Li Qiutang: "When will you fulfill your promise of streaking?"

Li Qiutang smiled and said, "That's what Deng Chao agreed to. I urged him yesterday and he's already preparing."

In the few days when Deng Chao was preparing to run naked, Feng Xiaogang, who had not been seen for a long time, appeared in the media to warm up for his new film "If You Are the One" which was about to start shooting.

As a major figure in comedy films, he was bound to be asked about "Famous", so he said: "I watched this film, it's not a movie, how could it be shot like this, it's just a drama on the big screen, with only superficial processing, the comedy is not a comedy, the suspense is not suspense, it's not connected, it's not a movie."

The little cannon is still as powerful as ever.

Both of them were in Huayi, so why did Feng Xiaogang stab Li Qiutang in the back during the critical period of the box office sprint of "Famous"?

What's the big deal? When The Forbidden Kingdom was first released, Feng Xiaogang said, "The story of this movie is totally flawed. It's a mess. I can't even watch it. I don't understand why the American box office is so good."

If you don't like Li Qiutang, why should you be polite?

But this matter is far from as simple as Feng Xiaogang not liking "Famous".

Feng Xiaogang's comment that "Fame and Fame" "is not connected to anything" caused a lot of discussion online.

Feng Xiaogang's fans naturally agree with his evaluation.

"I also think that "Fame and Fame" is not good to watch. The logic is flawed and the plot is not complete."

"'Famous' isn't funny at all. For domestic comedies, we have to watch Director Feng!"

But Li Qiutang's fans also have rebuttals.

"Director Li Qiutang's two films broke 100 million yuan in a row. Feng Xiaogang is scared. He is afraid that Li Qiutang will replace him in Huayi."

"The Banquet suffered a huge loss, and Assembly broke even. Meanwhile, director Li Qiutang, who had just joined Huayi, sold two films in a row. A masterpiece like The Sound of the Wind fell into Li Qiutang's hands. If I were Feng Xiaogang, I would want to kill Li Qiutang."

"With the successful box office of 'Famous', Huayi's internal resources will definitely be tilted towards Li Qiutang. Feng Xiaogang feels threatened by the young director."

Li Qiutang did not respond to Feng Xiaogang's remarks in the next few days. He was busy. "Famous" was earning 300 million to 500 million yuan a day and was sure to break million yuan. He didn't have the time to argue with Feng Xiaogang. Even when Fan Bingbing called him to invite him to the premiere of "God of Dance", he didn't go.

Fan Bingbing was still complaining on the phone: "I am stuck between "Famous" and "Kung Fu Panda". What should I do?"

She can do whatever she wants, but Fan Bingbing does look good in "Spirit of a Dance".

On the day of the premiere of "The King's Avatar", Li Qiutang treated Li Bingbing and her sister to a donkey banquet in Zhuolu.

Li Bingbing successfully made a name for himself in the international film industry with "The Forbidden Kingdom". He was very proud of himself a while ago and said that he had received invitations from many international directors.

Now he has taken the initiative to meet Li Qiutang, probably because he failed to reach an agreement with those international directors.

"In fact, we are all fellow Northeasterners," Li Bingbing said with a smile.

"Really? I'm from Fengtian." In Li Qiutang's impression, the Li sisters rarely mentioned that they were from Northeast China, and no Northeastern accent could be heard.

"I'm Hashi."

"Then we are really fellow villagers." After passing the customs, we are all fellow villagers.

The two sisters first congratulated Li Qiutang on the success of "To Become Famous".

"It hasn't even broken 100 million yet." Li Qiutang said.

"It's just these two days, we're all waiting to see you running naked." Li Bingbing said with a smile.

"If you want to watch the naked streaking, go look at Deng Chao. I didn't agree." Li Qiutang said.

"Then you're done. Deng Chao has dragged you down with him." Li Xing said, "He said in an interview a few days ago that you were going to run naked, too."

"Ah?" Li Qiutang really didn't know that she had been sold.

But he was so shameless that he said, "It's okay, there is always a way to solve it. Even if you really run naked, you can't broadcast it."

Several people chatted while eating, each talking about their experiences in filming. Li Xing talked about some interesting things about the company: "The company's listing guidance process is going smoothly. If nothing goes wrong, it should be able to become the number one stock in the domestic film and television industry. By then, the stocks you hold will definitely make money."

The Li sisters would not be so ignorant as to ask how many original shares Li Qiutang bought, but it should be quite a lot. If the Wang brothers want to bind Li Qiutang, they must show enough sincerity.

"Qiutang is still single, right?" Li Bingbing asked.

Li Qiutang laughed and said, "Isn't it said outside that I'm with Gao Yuanyuan?"

Li Xing laughed and said, "I can tell whether something like this is true or false at a glance. It's all for movie promotion."

He added: "It's time to find someone. Unlike celebrities, you don't have agents to look after you. You're a director and work behind the scenes. If you get married sooner, you can focus more on your work."

"It depends on fate." Li Qiutang obviously didn't want to talk about love matters with the two sisters she was not familiar with.

In the second half of the banquet, the two sisters said that their base is still in China, and they would go to Hollywood if they can, but they would not force it if they cannot, and they would eventually return to China to film.

“I can’t get used to eating steak every day.”

Li Xing also said with a smile: "You are a big director now, so don't look down on little actors like us."

"If you were a small actor, there would be no big actors in the country." Li Qiutang agreed.

No one mentioned "The Sound of Wind" during the whole process, but we both understood what the other person meant.

　Don't worry, I will respond.
