my time as a director

"Old Zhang, how is the script of Qing Yu Nian going?"

"Celebrating more than one year? The screenwriter team and the original author have already divided the plot, and the plot outline of the first part has also been sorted out, and the script is being written." Zhang Jun said quickly.

"Okay, follow along more."

"Okay, Director Li." Zhang Jun nodded in response, and left consciously, intending to go back to the company to see how the group of screenwriters were doing.

"Director Li?" Hong Tao was a little surprised.

Li Qian smiled, "If Mr. Hong can trust me, I have a TV series here. If it goes well, it will start filming at the end of the year, and it should be in time for next year's summer vacation."

This...Hong Tao is in a bit of a dilemma. It stands to reason that Li Qian has a TV series to sell, so it doesn't matter if they buy it, but next year is too critical, and it's still summer.

TV dramas are different from movies, and they are not made by Li Qian.

Li Qian saw Hong Tao's doubts and reassured him, "This drama is starring Hu Ge, I will try to invite Teacher Chen Daoming as well."

"Then I'll leave it to Director Li!" Hong Tao replied with a smile all over his face, "Of course I trust Director Li's vision."

Hu Ge and Chen Daoming, this lineup is Wang Zha in the TV series.

Chen Daoming is the king, Hu Ge is the No. [-] man in the Time Planning Bureau, and I am not the No. [-] drug god man. It is not an exaggeration to say that I am the Xiao Wang in the TV drama circle.

In this combination, the heroine must be in the same position, and the other supporting roles are old-fashioned. As long as the script is okay, they will almost walk sideways.

As for whether he can handle these two people, Li Qian has already opened his mouth, and there must be no problem.

Hong Tao left contentedly, completely achieving his goal.

"Hey."

Li Qian sighed, the company has become bigger, there are more involved, and there are many things, Li Qian has to participate in person, and he has to guide the screenwriting team when he goes back, he has to do the casting himself, and get it done as soon as possible.

Then call Hu Ge and talk to him.

"It's okay, Director Li. I don't have any movie appointments right now." Hu Ge agreed straight away. Although he didn't really want to make TV dramas anymore, Li Qian said it himself. He had no reason to refuse. The movies that he gained a firm foothold on the big screen were all given by Li Qian.

"Go back and talk to Mr. Cai, and then read the original book a few times when you have time. This drama is a little different from the current romantic drama, mainly in terms of strategy. It's quite brilliant, and it won't do you any harm." Li Qian said.

Hu Ge, the leading actor in Qing Yu Nian, couldn’t be more suitable. The actor in the original version is so embarrassing, especially when reciting poems. Even if he is drunk, the poems he recites, the sentences and rhythm are more outrageous than the other. The character design is still learning. What about lovers.

This is the advantage of TV dramas. In the case of 99, the script is always greater than the actors. It is better to have a good script with a third-rate actor than a first-rate actor to receive a third-rate script.

After chatting with Hu Ge, Song Ge brought a girl over.

"Congratulations to Director Li. With a box office record of 16 billion, he dominates the big screen." Song Ge sighed deeply. He is very optimistic about the film industry, otherwise he would not give up the great prospect of Perfect World and join the film and television industry.

However, Song Ge did not expect that Li Qian directly raised the box office record of Chinese movies to 16 billion!

16 billion, based on the cost of 5000 million, the net profit can reach [-] million, and this does not include pre-roll ads and various copyrights.

A film with a profit of 1000 million yuan, with a period of only half a year, and a return rate of [-] yuan, is simply unimaginable. Except for illegal business and lottery, there should be few industries that can compare.

In contrast, the 10 billion that Song Ge asked for from Wang Jianlin was nothing. To Li Qian, it was just a matter of two movies.

Song Ge even doubted whether his decision was wrong, and continued to cooperate with Li Qian, which seemed much better than Wanda.

Shaking his head secretly, he put these thoughts behind him, Wanda's huge financial support, coupled with the country's number one theater chain, may not be bad.

"I would also like to thank Mr. Song for his support in arranging the film." Li Qian smiled.

This time several major companies conspired to do something, and Wanda did not participate. Otherwise, it would be uncomfortable to be stuck in the film schedule. After all, Wanda’s movie theaters are all relatively high-end, with most of the halls, and the ticket accounted for 15% of the annual share.

"They underestimate Director Li too much, and the film industry should change." Song Ge shook his head.

Huang Zhongjun approached him at the beginning, but Song Ge refused. They wanted to change Li Qian's strong situation, but Song Ge didn't want to change it. If Wanda wants to grow bigger, it must invade the market of old big companies such as Huayang and Bernard share.

After recounting the old days, Song Ge introduced the girl next to him to Li Qian. It was Jing Tian, ​​the heroine of the Warring States Period, who was scolded badly a few months ago.

But he didn't say anything to ask Li Qian to take care of him, and after introducing her, he took her away.

He didn't become an accomplice of Berna and Huayang, and Song Ge didn't mention it to Li Qian before, otherwise it would be as if he was kind to him and asked for benefits.

Even at the premiere, Song Ge didn't say anything, and now he just mentioned it casually.

With Li Qian's conduct, and with the understanding of the previous period of cooperation, Song Ge knew that Li Qian would definitely accept this love, and it would be bad to say it bluntly.

Seeing Song Ge take Jing Tian away and introduce them to various companies and TV stations one by one, Li Qian showed a thoughtful expression.

With a big background, it's fine to praise it, Song Ge, the boss of a dignified company, is still working so hard.

......

"Director Li."

The banquet was almost over, Du Yang came over, "Warner's people are here, waiting for you in the suite upstairs."

Li Qian turned his head and asked, "It's really here? Weren't they joking before?"

"I checked again. They really weren't joking. They brought people from Legendary Pictures with them."

"What kind of medicine is sold in the devil's gourd of rice grains?"

"I don't know, but it's a good thing for us." Although Du Yang was also very strange, his eyes were shining right now.

"Forget it, we'll know when we meet." Li Qian shook his head.

Before, he asked Du Yang to discuss the overseas copyright of Jaws 3 with major Hollywood companies. Although the film has not yet been filmed, the previous two North American films alone have netted Columbia tens of millions of dollars. Sell ​​a high price.

Major companies have also opened prices, ranging from a few million dollars to 3000 million dollars to buy out all overseas copyrights, nearly [-] million yuan.

However, Warner has another idea, and wants to cooperate with Li Qian in several co-productions.

It is not surprising that co-productions are made, as the share of imported films is too low, and many Hollywood films are operating as co-productions.

The strange thing is that Warner wants to cooperate deeply, not only to operate co-productions, but also to let them export Hollywood blockbusters to China, all of which have Li Qian as the producer.

That's right, for the sake of the domestic market, Warner wants to use Li Qian's name to promote the films exported to China.

"Are they crazy or stupid?"

As Li Qian walked out of the banquet hall, he thought to himself, this group of devils with rice grains is really too whimsical.

Chapter 339 Cunning Chinese people!

There are eight major film companies in Hollywood, which have monopolized the entire Hollywood film business for decades.

Although there have been countless people who have tried to challenge and even replace them over the decades, no one has succeeded, and their status is still rock-solid.
