my time as a director

Although it's only been two years, a sense of despair has already begun to spread in the hearts of all the bosses.

However, the film and television media industry has developed step by step from the era of state-owned enterprises for many years. No matter Yu Dong or Wang Changtian, they can only accept this reality.

There is no way not to accept it.

Huang Zhongjun was the most disappointed and excited. He planned to do a big job this year, but his first blockbuster was overwhelmed.

Although the current box office is profitable enough, it is far from the previous expectations.

The defeat was so straightforward, Huang Zhongjun held his breath and panicked in his heart, and could only look forward to the New Year's Eve.

but

Even Painted Skin 2, which is determined to win, can lose to such a niche horror film as Jaws 3.

Will not!

Huang Zhongjun quickly put the bad thoughts in his mind to the back of his mind. As a genre film, comedy requires talent. It is impossible for Li Qian to make a classic comedy.

The twelve zodiac signs are Cheng Long's best kung fu comedy, and when it comes to national treasures, the sense of national pride spontaneously rises, which is a great bonus.

Not to mention 09, the Tangshan earthquake in [-] sold nearly [-] million. After three years, according to the growth rate of the market, it is almost inevitable to break [-] billion!

For Li Qian, the summer vacation is already over, so he doesn't need to pay attention to it, it's just a celebration banquet.

Li Qian also has to deal with the company's affairs, and he has to go back to Jiangning to finish the remaining scene.

One of the biggest advantages of film and television companies, especially Li Qian's Future Films, is that there are fewer projects.

Fewer projects means fewer things to do. Otherwise, any company of the same size in other industries is definitely not like Future Pictures. There are only a few projects throughout the year, and they are not complicated at all.

The company's current cash flow is sufficient, and the combined income of production, distribution, pre-roll advertising, online copyright, and TV copyright for 33 days of Broken Love even reached 27 billion.

The Adventures of Li Xianji is a little less. This film allocated 30% of the investment to several optoelectronics, plus Internet and TV copyrights, and it also has an income of nearly [-] million.

However, the profitability is not at the same level at all. The latter has high investment, the competition for the Lunar New Year file is great, and the investment is higher.

No, there are also close to 1 million in cash, not to mention the first-round broadcast rights of two TV dramas, which add up to more than [-] million.

Truman's world location didn't cost a penny, the cost was more than 6000 million, and the advertising placement alone was close to 4000 million, and it still earned [-] million.

Excluding the TV drama version of 33 Days of Broken Love, the funeral coffin, and the cost of being prepared for "Happiness Comes Knocking on the Door" and "Beauty and Destiny", the company's cash on the books is close to one billion.

If you have a lot of money, you have to spend it. No matter whether it is a movie or a TV series, a lot of projects are needed now.

Fortunately, there is also the Ghost Blowing Lantern that Xu Ke is preparing. It is estimated that it will cost [-] million yuan, otherwise Li Qian really doesn't know how to spend the money.

It is estimated that it is also a wonderful flower in the industry. Don't worry about cash, but it is too much.

At the meeting, Li Qian asked about Du Yang's progress in the film project, but he didn't get much.

This is also the biggest reason why Li Qian wants to resolutely defeat Huayang Media, not just because of personal grievances.

As the largest film and television production company in China, Huayang Media has a huge film and television production business, and it is better than Future Films in terms of experience, team, and publicity and distribution channels.

The market is so big, only by killing the opponent can they eat their share.

There are no other high-quality projects, Li Qian is not in a hurry, just take your time.

Ask Du Yang to acquire some TV drama production companies and absorb professional production teams. In terms of film business, if there are no suitable high-quality projects, he will focus on distribution. Anyway, distribution is sure to make money.

In the afternoon, Li Qian went to see Han Sanping.

Speaking of which, Li Qian didn't know him very well, and they met five or six times in total, and it was all about work, and there was no intersection other than that.

Simply, Li Qian asked directly, "Han Dong, why are you looking for me for tea when you have time?"

Han Sanping poured a cup of tea for Li Qian with a smile, and asked with a smile, "Director Li's new film has finished, when will the finished film come out?"

Li Qian took the teacup and was slightly taken aback, "No way, maybe Optoelectronics had to review my movie in advance, this time it's really a comedy."

It's only late July, and there are still more than four months before the release. Optoelectronics is so worried about him, and they are staring at him now.

As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake and afraid of well ropes for ten years, even if I am not the god of medicine and made some noise, there is no need to be so nervous.

Han Sanping's face darkened, "Where are you thinking, the higher-ups won't do this. In fact, the leader is still very magnanimous. Don't think too much about it."

"Why is that?" Li Qian wondered.

"That's right." Han Sanping took a sip from his cup and said, "What about next year's Oscars, the higher authorities plan to change it. If the finished film can be released as soon as possible, the leader plans to take a look."

"The higher-ups plan to let my film compete in the Olympics?" Li Qian's expression was a little strange.

What surprised Li Qian was not that the film for the Olympic Games was selected so soon. It was not early at all, and it was even a bit late. This qualification has always been determined by default, such as Jinling Shisanchai and Mei Lanfang. It's settled.

Strangely enough, it was his turn.

Starting from the hero, the places for the Olympics were basically taken by several people, Zhang Yimou four times, Cheng Kai twice, Ma Xiaogang once.

This thing is whoever has higher qualifications, if there are movies released, then choose one of them. It was rumored that the search had already set the quota for the Olympic Games by default.

"It's not confirmed yet. I just want you to sign up. So far, search and [-] have signed up." Han Sanping smiled.

Sign up for the name of a fart, no optoelectronics nod, change someone else, sign up for optoelectronics and don't bother to read it.

However, what this means is that Optoelectronics will choose one from Search, [-] and its own Truman world to participate in the Oscar competition for best foreign language film.

Li Qian doesn't care whether he competes in the Olympic Games or not. To be honest, he doesn't really have much hope of winning the prize.

Although the topic of pursuing freedom is mainstream in Mi Lijian, the theme of Truman's world is not freedom. Pure freedom cannot catch the eyes of academics.

The well-respected Shawshank Redemption in China is also freedom on the surface. When various domestic forums talk about this movie, it is freedom, but in fact the core theme is not as simple as freedom.

However, it is still undisputed that he lost to Forrest Gump.

Of course, the criteria for the Best Film Oscar and the Best Foreign Language Film are definitely different. It is normal for Shawshank to lose to Forrest Gump. Looking at the best film Oscar in the history of rice grains, Forrest Gump is the most competitive one of.

But it is not a big problem for Shawshank to win the best foreign language film.

The Truman world is different, it's more entertaining, and that's a big problem.

Moreover, for the best foreign language film, the best type of award is to show the key practical issues of the country where it is located, and it must conform to the understanding of Westerners.

For example, I am not a medicine god. If I shoot according to Hollywood's thinking, I am very likely to win the best foreign language film, but the film does not criticize the government and drug companies, and does not expose these fundamental problems. It does not conform to Western standards. thinking logic.

The Dallas Buyers Club movie in my memory is of the same type, and it was filmed with Western thinking. If Li Qianzhao shot it like this, he will have a better chance of winning the prize.

An entertaining, darkly humorous comedy, it's badass.
