Volume 811 Going to the Louvre to Make a Movie
'Qin Guan got a new actor, but I'm not happy at all. '
‘That is an award called the Golden Horse Award by the Chinese. It is neither Hollywood nor the top three in Europe, and it is not even counted as the 9 A-level international film festivals. '
'Looking at Qin Guan in the photo and sharing a trophy with a Chinese actor I don't know, I feel really aggrieved. '
‘Please, my favorite Qin Guan idol, must return to the embrace of Los Angeles, so as not to have to accept such unfair treatment! '
There are a few Chinese students studying abroad at the bottom, who really can't bear to see it, so they take a look for the Golden Horse Award.
‘The Golden Horse Awards have been held for almost half a century, and they are very influential in Chinese-language films in China, Taiwan, Taiwan and Southeast Asia. '
Standing next to Qin Guan is Andy Lau, a famous Chinese actor with more than 20 years of acting experience. I don’t know if you have seen Flying Daggers released in the United States last year. The actor next to Zhang Ziyi is him. '
‘What is Flying Daggers? '
‘Oh, that incomprehensible Chinese martial arts movie that didn’t do well at the box office? '
Ok, getting off topic.
Everyone had a heated discussion about whether Qin Guan had regressed or improved after leaving the United States, and it was Qin Guan's performance in the film "Kekexili" that ultimately decided all of this.
So Columbia Pictures shamelessly contacted Qin Guan, and through him, obtained the qualification to show this film in independent and art theaters in North America.
And relying on Qin Guan's influence in the United States, as well as the turmoil of the double actor in the Chinese circle, he once again invested in Huayi Brothers Films' loss-making film for the purpose of winning awards, and recovered a certain amount of cost.
There are 138 North American art movie theaters, and the show time is one month.
Total box office receipts: 3.08 million.
In one fell swoop, it surpassed the total box office of elephants.
This also increased a lot of hits for the domestic video search and for the Hoh Xil film.
Because China is not like the United States, through the sale of video tapes, to extend the life of a movie, once the movie is played in China, you can only watch the entire movie content on the video websites of various channels.
Although the viewing effect on the Internet is a little bit worse, but it doesn't cost money, right?
But for the Huayi Brothers who are investors, this is enough, and the follow-up money feels like it came for nothing. It also inexplicably increased a circle of popularity, all thanks to Qin Guan's energy.
When they thought about the taste, they looked for Qin Guan, only to find that this guy had disappeared from the country.
And it wasn't until this time that Qin Guan's office belatedly announced his upcoming itinerary.
At this time, Qin Guan did not return to the United States as everyone had guessed, taking a nap in a corner of Wall Street in New York or in the Beverly luxury villa in Los Angeles.
Now, instead, he went to France, which had little to do with his work, and it was said that there, the crew of Columbia Film Company met him.
That's right, the movie that Qin Guan is about to participate in is another masterpiece invested by Columbia Corporation.
The reason why the meeting and filming of all the people are so mysterious for no reason is because this movie called "The Da Vinci Code" is a very rare movie that is involved with religious beliefs.
From the moment the film adaptation of the novel was planned to start shooting, Columbia Pictures and director Howard have endured pressure from all walks of life.
Thousands of letters of protest, like snowflakes, flew to the crew that was about to start filming.
Coupled with the pressure from the Catholic League and related guild groups, they couldn't help but sneak up on the pace of filming.
The reason why Qin Guan was asked to come to Paris first is because an important filming location for this film is the Louvre in France.
The painting "Mona Lisa", which shows all possibilities, is an important clue prop in this movie.
By the way, the crew will also come to France to choose a local actress to escort the film's trip to France.
It wasn't until Qin Guan stayed in a hotel near the Louvre in France that he understood the strength behind Columbia's courage to prepare this film.
The patriarch of the Italian family who had rescued Qin Guan and Armani in Milan, Salvador, when he heard that this film in which Qin Guan participated in the main filming was urgently in need of help, he put a lot of money into it. Funded.
As for the lease of some of the important scenes, the Italian godfather also contributed a lot.
As for all the confidence sources of this middle-aged man, it was given by the Asian man who only met once.
In fact, he had been searching in Italy for a long time, but none of the movies with big investment could catch the eyes of this picky Salvador.
But this "Da Vinci Code" is really right for him.
Thriller, suspense, and a little bit of IQ, the question about the noisy and noisy religious personnel has been left behind by this bold man.
Naturally, the pre-production work of this film did not require Qin Guan to run around. As he only cares about the characters and filming, now the whole crew has only one problem for him.
Where are the directors and producers?
The staff who had arranged Qin Guan's itinerary wiped the sweat from busy work with a handkerchief, and then gave Qin Guan and Wang Liying a dumbfounded answer.
‘Ask the director and producer? '
‘They were doing a massive casting call in France and suddenly they got a call from Chirac. '
'Chirac? Which Chirac? Not the Chirac I thought? '
‘Yes, French President Chirac. '
Well, you go on.
‘I don’t know how the director and President Chirac talked, they have an hour of face-to-face meeting today. '
‘I think the producers and directors were negotiating the lease of the Louvre? '
Qin Guan suddenly became inexplicably nervous: 'You said, will they give us a chance to use the original "Mona Lisa"? '
'impossible! The assistant shook his head vigorously: "The Artwork Alliance and the museum have already guessed what we did. They just found a counterfeit two days ago, and delivered it to the prop manager of our crew with drums and drums." . '
'This is paid out of pocket for the protection of cultural relics. It is said that this imitation can be regarded as an antique, and it is a very delicate and high-quality imitation with a certain age. Some people in the oil painting field will also be eye-catching at first glance. ’ (To be continued.)
