Chapter 112 Looking for the director, Guo Fan?

After chatting for a few words, Qi Hui got up and left.

Although the conversation was calm, it was by no means pleasant.

Watching Qi Hui leave, Wang Jinghua took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes with a cold face.

A self-righteous and arrogant fool.

If it weren't for the Ling family's face, she would have killed this kid socially long ago.

She has nine ways to kill Qi Hui.

Nine kinds!

……

Community.

A pen danced nimbly at his fingertips as Qi Hui pondered and prepared to write a feasibility report... no, a plan.

When writing written reports, Qi Hui likes to write drafts by hand.

This makes the regulations clearer, and even if some ideas are not used at the moment, you can refer to them at other times.

Wang Jinghua's words did not affect Qi Hui. He had seen many mentally retarded leaders.

If he has to be affected by the other person every time, how can he work and make progress?

Shashasha~
The tip of the pen rubbed against the manuscript, leaving traces. Qi Hui's writing was like a dragon and a snake, and his cursive words flew wildly. His handwriting was comparable to a doctor's prescription.

After a few days, the sound of the pen tip rubbing against the paper turned into the crisp sound of typing on the keyboard.

In the past few days, good news also came from Yang Siwei.

Faced with Xiao Yang's arrival, Bao Jingjing immediately agreed and worked out a script after a few days of thinking.

She always felt guilty about receiving the 20 yuan in copyright fees.

Qi Hui took a look at it, then made a few suggestions based on his memory and asked Bao Jingjing to revise it again.

Bao Jingjing accepted some of the suggestions and rejected others.

But she refused. However, her boyfriend, who was a director, thought it was okay after watching it and suggested adding it in.

Because of this, the two had some conflicts, but they were finally eased with Xiao Yang's persuasion.

Just as Qi Hui expected, Bao Jingjing's boyfriend Wang Ran also came, bringing his own dry food.

Wang Ran thought this matter was a bit strange. The book "Love Is Not Blind" was just a diary-style novel, and it only recorded some trivial matters.

From his professional director's perspective, the adaptation has little value.

It's not worth 20 at all.

So... he suspected that Qi Hui had some strange ideas.

That is to say, Qi Hui did not show up, otherwise he would be even more suspicious.

Xiao Yang saw what Wang Ran was thinking, and chatted with Qi Hui casually about these things.

Qi Hui was speechless after hearing this. What was going on?

Such a troublesome man... No wonder your partner is always angry with you.

In fact, Bao Jingjing is not tall, about 1.5 meters, and wears old-fashioned black-framed glasses.

Not only that, his clothes are also a bit rustic.

She looks similar to those female academic elites from school days, with small breasts and good academic performance.

He is small and learns to hang.

This type of girl is not Qi Hui's type. He has only two criteria for choosing a partner: good-looking and big!

Not long after Qi Hui completed the plan, the new version of the script was also completed.

Qi Hui took a look at it and found that it was similar to the story in his memory. Even without considering the memories before the time travel, the story of this version of the script was very complete.

He immediately asked Xiao Yang to give the screenwriter a red envelope as a thank you.

Isn't it strange that there are so many people?

Now that we have the script, it’s time to find a director.

Qi Hui pondered over which director would be better to find?
The best director is of course Teng Huatao, the director of the original novel.

Although this person has bad personal morals and is also very bad at making movies.

Teng Huatao's main talent is in TV dramas. He starred in "Home Sweet Home" and "Naked Marriage", which are both very popular dramas.

But in movies, he is much worse.

In 07, he invested million to make a movie called "The Devil in My Heart", starring Leon Lai, Fan Bingbing and Rene Liu.

Big names + big investment… 07 million in was no small sum! However, the film only grossed million, not even recouping one-eighth of its cost.

He fell to the ground and ended up at his grandma's house.

If we count Teng Huatao's most flops, "The Devil in My Heart" is nothing.

We have to talk about "The Fortress"... Oh no, it's "Shanghai Fortress", this movie was a real flop.

The door to science fiction movies that "The Wandering Earth" had finally opened was kicked back by him.

With an investment of nearly 4 million, the box office revenue was only around 1 million...it's not a bad thing, at least there is progress.

At least in terms of proportion, it is better than "The Devil in My Heart".

Later, Teng Huatao said, "I used the wrong actor," putting all the blame on Lu Han.

However, he never expected that it would backfire, not only causing the anger of Lu Han's fans, but also being disliked by passers-by.

Good guy, if the movie is successful, it’s yours, and if the movie fails, it’s because you used the wrong actors?
That's not what you said when you first promoted it.

Being arrogant at first and respectful later, how ridiculous!

Looking at the movies made by Teng Huatao, the only commercially successful one is "Love Is Not Blind".

But... this is Qi Hui's first movie, and what he needs most is confirmation.

No matter how unreliable Teng Huatao is, he is reliable in "Love Is Not Blind".

It is safest to find him.

But if Qi Hui went to him, what could he use to invite him to perform?
What Qi Hui wanted more was that Teng Huatao would come to find him.

But what if he doesn't come? We can't just keep waiting, right?
Therefore, Qi Hui needs to make a contingency plan... Is there any director who is good at romance themes and is a novice?
Wouldn’t it be best if he became a very famous director in the future and made billions at the box office?
Qi Hui pondered and quickly wrote a name on the paper:
Guo Fan!

Yes, the one who filmed "The Wandering Earth".

It’s true that Guo Fan is a science fiction film director.

But he also knows how to film love.

His first film was "The Adventures of Li Xianji", a romance and science fiction film.

Speaking of this name, no one will have any impression of it, but this movie has a memorable scene.

It's the scene where Mr. You Benchang travels back in time, holds the car door, and rescues his girlfriend from under a dump truck.

Mr. You gave a superb performance in that scene. He didn’t have a single line, but his eyes were full of drama, which was very impressive.

In addition to "The Adventures of Li Xianji", Guo Fan also directed another love movie: "My Deskmate"

It’s the one starring Zhou Dongyu and Lin Gengxin, which grossed 4.56 million yuan.

What does 4.56 million mean back then?
Ahead of Guo Fan is "The Hobbit 3" with 4.63 million yuan, and behind him is "The Expendables 3" with 4.52 million yuan.

That year, Hollywood blockbusters such as "Transformers 4", "Interstellar", "Captain America 2" and "Edge of Tomorrow" were released.

Despite being surrounded by these blockbusters, Guo Fan was able to generate a box office of 4.65 million yuan, which is a testament to his ability.

Qi Hui thought about it and decided that the first choice director was Teng Huatao and the backup plan was Guo Fan.

Immediately, Qi Hui called Lao Wang and asked him to help find Guo Fan's information.

At this time, Guo Fan should have been a graduate student at the Beijing Film Academy, but he forgot what kind of graduate student he was.

But Qi Hui needs to get some information about Guo Fan before he can find a way to get what he wants... no, invite him to join his big plan.

Qi also has a dream of making a science fiction movie, and he has been dreaming about it for a week!

The movie "Love Is Not Blind" is Qi Hui's preparatory project for making science fiction films.

Yes, that’s right, that’s it!
……

a few days later

Jingle bell bell~
A strange phone call came to Qi Hui's cell phone.

Qi Hui's heart froze slightly: "Hello?"

"Teacher Qi?" A fat man's voice sounded on the phone, smiling:
"I'm Teng Huatao. We met at the Magnolia Awards Ceremony."

"Oh~~ Director Teng, hello, hello..." Qi Hui smiled happily.

"There's something I want to talk to you about. It's hard to explain work matters over the phone. Do you have time?"

"Okay." Qi Hui agreed immediately: "Let's find a cafe to chat. What do you think tomorrow afternoon?"

"Haha, no problem." Teng Huatao agreed readily.

After hanging up the phone, Qi Hui breathed a sigh of relief. She's finally here... Guo Fan can finally let go.
