my time as a director

"Well, this is Peng Peng. He just graduated from university this year. You guys should get to know each other too. Jaws 3 happens to be your classmate, so it's good to get acquainted with him in advance."

After Li Qian finished speaking, he handed Peng Peng over to them. They are all the same age, so they should be able to chat.

As soon as he left, Peng Yuchang was left to face the four young ladies alone, and they were all wearing tight training clothes, outlining their youthful and graceful curves.

Surrounded by the front, back, left, and right sides, it was impossible to look in the right direction, so he lowered his head involuntarily, and tightly grasped the handle of the suitcase with both hands.

"whee"

Seeing his embarrassment, the four girls couldn't help laughing.

Li Qian left Peng Yichang, an innocent boy, to face the four girls alone, and came to a private club in Chaoyang District. Today, he asked Wu Siyuan to make an appointment with Xu Ke.

Xu Ke was also discovered by Wu Siyuan at the time. His Virgo Butterfly Transformation, as well as the later Green Snake, New Dragon Inn, and Huang Feihong series were all supervised or produced by Wu Siyuan.

The purpose of finding Xu Ke is of course to adapt it into a movie for Ghost Blowing Lantern, and only Xu Ke is the most suitable director for this series in China.

After waiting in the room for a while, the half-white haired but still tough Xu Ke arrived as scheduled.

Li Qian got up and took a step forward, and said with a smile, "Director Xu, please sit down."

Xu Ke smiled and sat down opposite. "Hi Director Li, I've wanted to meet you for a long time, but I never had the chance."

"It seems that I should have invited Director Xu for a while." Li Qian smiled.

"I'm not the only one who wants to see Director Li. Everyone wants to communicate with Director Li. It's just that Director Li is too busy making one movie a year."

Regardless of Xu Ke's well-dressed clothes, long beard, and big sunglasses, he looks quite serious, but he is actually a humorous and easy-going person that is rare among great directors.

It's a bit like a movie fan who has never seen Zhou Xingchi in person. To his imagination, if Zhou Xingchi in reality has the same personality as Tsui Hark, it will fit the impression of most movie fans.

The two great directors met for the first time and talked about some film ideas.

Xu Ke, who has been with Mi Lijian for several years, is taking radio, television and film courses at the University of Texas at Austin. Among the directors of the older generation, he is the most receptive to directors like Li Qian's commercial style.

"Director Li, before the release of God of Medicine, I really thought that you would make a truly realistic movie like other directors in the mainland.

But I didn't expect that it still uses purely commercial methods, and it is extremely simple. It does not use multi-line narration, and can portray such a brilliant supporting role with flat and straightforward narration. This is the ultimate simplicity. "

Xu Ke was deeply moved, sometimes simplicity is the most difficult thing, who can't show off skills, who can't have twists and turns in the plot design.

It is precisely the simplest way of expression, but it is even more difficult to do the best, not much easier than brain-burning.

"Director Xu is highly praised. I just made the plot relatively simple to make the audience look more relaxed. All the plots don't beat around the bush and develop naturally, guiding the audience's emotions." Li Qian laughed.

Storytelling is a good story if it is not brain-burning. It is easy to understand and catches people. It is also a good story.

After some exchanges, Li Qian also expressed his intention for coming.

"Director Xu, I don't know if you have watched the movie Ghost Blowing the Lantern?"

Ghost blowing lights?

"I have a set of this book, and I've read it twice. Send out the seal of the hill, touch the golden talisman, move mountains and mountains to find the dragon formula; people light candles, ghosts blow lamps, survey public opinion and fight to find stars"

Xu Ke could still open his mouth to read the words in the book, and after finishing speaking, he was full of emotion, "I never thought before that there are so many details about tomb robbery. After all, Xiangjiang is a cultural fault, and I live alone, and I don't know many things."

There is no one in Xiangjiang who robs tombs, and there are no tombs of important people at all.

I've seen Ghost Blowing Lantern, and I quite like it, it seems to be stable.

Li Qian said with some regret, "Last year I bought the film and television copyright of Ghost Blowing Lantern, but after searching all the directors in Taiwan, Taiwan and Taiwan, none of them can perfectly reproduce the story in the book on the big screen."

Xu Ke thought for a while, with a smile in his eyes, and said, "That's right, ghosts and zongzi can't appear in the movie, and even the painted skin has been changed to a fox demon."

"However, after thinking about it for a while, I found that only Director Xu has this ability." Li Qian turned around and said.

"Director Li is absurd."

The smile on Xu Ke's face was even wider. Even though Li Qian was much younger than him, he was still a big director with a box office of 16 billion. Even Avatar was overwhelmed and praised by Li Qian. There was no reason to be unhappy.

Moreover, Xu Ke didn't feel that Li Qian was really talking politely, he was still confident in this aspect.

"But Director Li, why do you think I can do a good remake of this movie?"

"Director Xu's movies have a world that people yearn for, communicating reality and fantasy. It is not so much a movie as a fantasy."

Li Qian laughed and said, "Director Xu is second to none in the combination of space modeling, color composition, and action special effects. He expands the visual space of the film with the spectacle of the scene, the desert landscape of the Seven Swords, the fairyland of Shushan, Shushan, Blood Cloud Array, Shashi Town, Hanging Mountain, Green Snake's West Lake, Purple Bamboo Forest, Ancient Houses, Firework Ancient Alley, and Water Man Jinshan. The strong mystery in this aspect is very important to Ghost Blowing Lantern.

A fictional space is not only a matter of special effects, but more importantly, it is to make the scene full of artistic conception, and more importantly, Director Xu's unique romantic style is also the most suitable for the movie. "

"Romantic? Ghosts blowing lanterns should be scary, right?" Xu Ke pretended to be puzzled.

"Horror is also one of the elements. I believe there is no problem with Director Xu. In A Chinese Ghost Story, the comprehensive use of black, white, purple, and pink was used to highlight the horror of Lanruo Temple and the traces of fantasy. It can be called a masterpiece of ghost movies. Great work."

Li Qian continued, "As for romance, isn't it a kind of romance to go on an adventure into a no-man's land with a friend who has lived and died, and experienced all kinds of weirdness and life and death? Romance is more than just love."

With these remarks, Xu Ke nodded frequently.

However, Xu Ke still shook his head and said apologetically, "Now I still have Di Renjie's sequel in hand, and Lin Haixueyuan's two films are in preparation, so I may not have time to adapt Ghost Blowing Lantern."

Li Qian has known about these two projects for a long time, he smiled and said, "Lin Haixueyuan is still stuck on the title, and Yu Dong talked about 3D movies at the press conference announcing Bernard's plan, it must not happen overnight .

As for Di Renjie, Huang Zhongjun wanted to use this series to make his own people popular, and he stuffed in four young actors. I don't think they can support a big production. "

Xu Ke frowned slightly. It was indeed the same as what Li Qian said. Huayang Media replaced Liu Dehua and Li Binbin, and brought in four young actors. Their acting skills were too far behind. Four young people.

It's not that he doesn't have the right to cast roles, but the actors Huang Zhongjun can choose from are all crooked, and it's better not to change them.

"Director Xu, Huang Zhongjun can replace the actors, but he can't replace you, otherwise the series will be ruined in half, and no one can take over. You might as well shoot Ghost Blowing Lantern first.

With the fame and uniqueness of the original book, plus you, Director Xu, it will be released two years later, and the box office will be at least one billion yuan. At that time, you will have a lot of autonomy as the actor of Di Renjie's sequel. Maybe Huang Zhongjun will ask for it. I'm waiting for you to make a sequel. "Li Qian suggested.

365 The Speed ​​of Light Slaps the Face

Talking with Tsui Hark went smoothly, and Li Qian himself has great confidence.

Xu Ke is the most suitable director for adapting Ghost Blowing Lantern. At the same time, with Tsui Hark's style, it is impossible not to like this series.

He currently has two projects, 3D Linhaixueyuan, which are jointly invested by Berner and Wanda, but they are still on paper and will not be launched in a short time.

Although Di Renjie's sequel to The Heavenly Empire is a prequel, there is nothing to say about Liu Dehua's replacement when he gets older.

But it was impossible for Xu Ke to just "recommend" someone without any prior discussion.

Xu Ke first collaborated with Bernard on two films, "Women Are Not Bad", then he collaborated with Huayang on Di Renjie, and then collaborated with Bernard on Flying Armor of the Dragon Gate, and then he will cooperate with Wanda.

Not being hanged in the same family, not being restrained, being free is what Xu Ke wants, otherwise he wouldn't be running around.
