After getting Shidi at the start

Chapter 141 Decision
"How about it?"

After returning home, as soon as he sat down on the sofa, Brother Wang turned to Li Mingji and said, "Have you considered the outcome?"

Xiaoguang couldn't help complaining: "Brother Wang, you are too anxious. Today is not over yet. Didn't you say you have a few days to think about it?"

Li Mingji knew that Brother Wang might have seen something, because there had been precedents before, and this was actually the case with "Bodyguard" and "Dragonborn 2".

Li Mingji didn't seem to make a decision on the spot, but actually made a decision the moment he saw the script.

Otherwise, why would he have discussed so much with Lu Xing and judged his work unceremoniously in front of someone he met for the first time?
Although he dare not say how high his EQ is, he is definitely not that kind of brainless idiot.

As for the investment request raised later there, it is nothing to Li Mingji now.

What he said to them at the time was of course a matter of fact. Now he absolutely has the right to choose, even including investment, not to mention that he himself has savings. Push Wang Xiaokui and the others over.

No matter how you say it, it's still a movie. Playing a supporting role in a movie is better than playing a side role in a TV series.

As for the risks after the movie is released, it is impossible to guarantee 100% whether it will be successful or not. On the contrary, it is worth giving it a try if you have the chance.

Besides, for Li Mingji now, it is just when the traffic is about to be realized, even if it is a bad movie, he can still harvest a little bit of leeks, which is not a loss in any way.

As for after harvesting, that is afterward.

Of course, Li Mingji himself still attaches great importance to this. If he is not optimistic about it, he would not want to participate.

It seems that the previous two films were determined by this factor, and although there is no finished product yet, he can more or less feel it when shooting.

In fact, as long as the quality does not stretch the hips, the chance of success is very high.

So Li Mingji didn't hide it at this time, nodded and said: "Brother Wang should have seen it too, I want to try it."

"Ah?" Xiaoguang was a little surprised: "Brother Mingji, aren't you? I feel that this show is really thankless. The subject matter is considered niche, and martial arts are not paid much attention to now. And that Director Lu, I feel He doesn't look very reliable..."

No matter what their opinions are, whether they are right or not, they are all thinking for themselves, so Li Mingji did not feel impatient, but explained with a smile: "These are not big problems. I have considered them carefully. As long as the movie is not too bad, at least it should be able to protect its capital.

"Although Director Lu didn't have any successful experience before, I can see that he is very serious about filming, and he has a solid foundation in screenwriting - I have read so many scripts anyway.

"And more importantly, I need a series of works of my own!"

Yes, this is the key reason.

This is obvious in foreign countries. Some actors can basically rely on one series to grow old.

There has never been an actor like this in China, but if an actor can have a series of films, it will definitely only be a benefit.

As we all know, under normal circumstances, only when the previous film is good enough and profitable enough will we consider the possibility of a sequel. Therefore, the existence of a series of films that can continue to be produced actually means a golden rice bowl.

Brother Wang and Xiaoguang were a little surprised, apparently they didn't expect Li Mingji to have such high expectations for this film.

After all, even Lu Xing himself only dared to use it as bait and did not dare to make any guarantees, because he knew very well how difficult it is to make a series in China.

Some series are mostly unfinished in the second part. To put it bluntly, they rely on the accumulation of the first part to make money.

Even if it is Li Mingji's famous "囧" series in his previous life, not to mention that there is no fundamental connection between the several parts, the so-called second part can actually be regarded as "starting a new line", just borrowing from the previous one. Fame is all.

Then the later ones were worse than the last ones, destroying an IP that had been saved with great difficulty.

There are several other series that can't escape this kind of bad luck. In fact, the same is true not only in China, but also in foreign countries. It is common for the sequel to be inferior to the previous one.

But there is also no shortage of good enough series of movies, which are unmatched in China.

Of course, whenever this happens, many reasons can be found, but it is true that the domestic environment is unfavorable.

What Li Mingji thinks is that if he can inject enough influence at the beginning of the game to make it his own series, so that when others mention it, he will think of him, then he can use it in the future. Control the direction of the operation so that it will not gradually slide into the quagmire.

Just like the "Husky series" in the previous life...

"However, it must be very difficult to make this movie. I think there may be a lot of fighting scenes in it, and it is in ancient costumes, dressed a lot, and you have to hang wires and use knives..."

Aya's starting point is different from theirs. She is more emotional. Originally, Li Mingji filmed the fight scenes of "Bodyguard", and sometimes bumped into them, and some pain was not a problem. At that time, she was very nervous. Distressed.

But Li Mingji chuckled and said: "Isn't this just right? Many fans like to say that I don't suffer at all when filming. This time I can eat enough."

Of course, Brother Wang and the others knew that Li Mingji was just joking. Since when did he care about the feelings of those black fans?

Brother Wang finally sighed and said, "No matter what decision you make, we will support you, as long as you think it through yourself."

Li Mingji nodded, and said solemnly: "Don't worry, although I dare not say that I have a very strict plan, I am currently on the predetermined path. This time the script is considered an accident, but it just meets my needs. "

Brother Wang couldn't help laughing when he thought about what he said at the beginning that he would try to follow the path of an action movie, and then thought about how this martial arts could be classified as an action movie if he didn't go into it.

"Then when are you going to notify them?" Xiaoguang, as a work assistant, naturally has to step into the role at this time and prepare to make arrangements.

Li Mingji thought for a while, and then said: "Didn't I tell them before that we should wait for them to finish revising the new version of the script? Let's talk about it after they send the new script."

They quickly understood what Li Mingji meant. Obviously, no matter how extravagantly he said at the dinner table just now, who would know if there was really such respect for his opinions behind it.

From the matter of revising the script, we should be able to see the leopard by then.

Since Li Mingji intends to turn this movie into "his own" series, it is necessary to start exerting influence from these small aspects.

"In that case, I have to discuss it with the company first?" Brother Wang thinks that there should be no accidents there, after all, it is the other side that needs them now, not how much Li Mingji needs it. movie.

Li Mingji nodded, and then said: "Don't reveal too much for now, just say you are interested in casting a few votes first. As for the placement of actors, I will consider it after I confirm it."

Brother Wang smiled, this is what should be done.
