Chapter 390 He Has Never Failed

There has never been an impenetrable wall in the world.

From the official formation of the crew of "Legend of the White Snake" to the invitation of external actors, although the scale and range of actions have always been small, after all, they have come into contact with many actors, agents, and brokerage companies, plus Li Qian himself He is a hot topic in the entire domestic entertainment industry, so the news that he is going to make a costume drama has gradually spread, and even many people in the film and television circles and music circles know the inside story and know the subject matter Li Qian chose. It is "Legend of the White Snake".

After Bai Yujing came to Shuntian Mansion in mid-August, it was no secret within the circle, and after that, the entertainment pages of major newspapers in Shuntian Mansion, as well as many professional entertainment newspapers, One after another began to report this matter, so the news officially spread on a large scale.

It's hard to say how the film and television circles view this matter. After all, although many actors have declined to act in this drama before, that doesn't represent everyone. , I have everything to say for a while, just wait to see more jokes... But first of all, not to mention the film and television circle, the first reaction of the entire music circle after hearing the news was to be stunned.

Some people were puzzled, some sighed, and some couldn't help but raise their hands, secretly rejoicing, and even turning their backs on people's eyes, wishing to cheer for it.

Li Qian's talent, talent, and achievements in music, after so many years, so many works, and so many albums, in the entire music circle, no one has questioned, and no one has the right to question anything . In the music circle and record industry, his works and productions are synonymous with quality products!

Therefore, despite the fact that Minghu Culture started from Li Qian's studio, which was the same as the grass-roots team, and has always had a limited number of artists, but now, in just two years, they have risen rapidly by relying on Li Qian's gold-lettered signboard and golden finger. It is one of the few large record companies in China.

Even though the number of artists is limited, they have been established for a short period of time, and they have not released many albums, but with a few superstars and a few top-selling albums in hand, even Sony Culture dare not offend them easily.

But now, Li Qian doesn't make music anymore, he went to shoot TV series!

For many people who like his music and his lyrics, Li Qian went to shoot some TV series without doing business, it was purely out of his mind. It is inevitable that there will be less energy to write songs and make music. It is conceivable that either the number will decrease, or worse - the quality will deteriorate!

This is of course a very depressing thing for all those who like his music!

But for many record companies in the industry, especially for several major record companies competing against each other, this is obviously one of the best news this year!

Doesn't matter if his TV series is good or not, even if he invests tens of millions and ends up making a bad movie, what the fuck? I wish he could lose it all!

Uh... that's not right, some people say that we should bless him and pray that he will make a great film. In that case, maybe after he succeeds in his first attempt, he really shifted his interest to filming? Isn't this a great thing? Moreover, if he lost money filming, wouldn't he turn around and write songs desperately? --Right! And so right!

Then bless him!

Therefore, I don’t know if the major record companies have a tacit understanding. Anyway, before this news was officially reported by the major newspapers, several major domestic record companies tacitly issued a gag order to many of their singers: wait until When the news comes out, as long as there is a reporter to interview Li Qian, he must bless and praise Li Qian for filming! You must express your high opinion of Li Qian's talent in film and television in every possible way. Like why you fell in love with his performance after watching Romance of the Three Kingdoms. Like why the lyrics he wrote are very visual and storytelling. He should be a good storyteller, who knows that he is studying in the photography department of Suncheon Film Academy, this is his profession... Wait, etc., anyway, there is only one principle, you must die Praise him and encourage him to move forward boldly!

Then, on the entertainment pages of major newspapers and various entertainment newspapers, a very interesting phenomenon appeared——

All the people in the film and television industry, regardless of whether they are directors, actors, or famous screenwriters, either shake their heads and don't care about it, or they are very cautious, saying that they need to watch the work to know, and it is difficult to predict beforehand, and they all expressed their opinions. Expressed unfamiliarity with Li Qian, in a word: shirk!

At the same time, almost all the interviewed singers expressed their optimism for Li Qian's filming. Those flattery and blessings are simply brilliant!

So, as a result, laymen expressed their optimism, while experts expressed their unfamiliarity with Li Qian!

The attitude of those celebrities in the film and television industry is understandable. After all, even if you are not familiar with them, they are all in the entertainment industry to make a living. Li Qian is so popular. Maybe someday we will meet, maybe one day in the future, I just need someone's help. Of course, there is no need to offend people by saying a few happy words, and the singers' statements...

When Qi Jie took a stack of newspapers from below and pointed them one by one to Liao Liao, who was taking a break during the rehearsal, Liao Liao couldn't help but curse after reading a few copies, "These bastards! We can't even stop them, they are still trying their best to cheer up here, it seems that they want him to be smashed!"

Qi Jie shrugged and pouted.

If Li Qian wants to make a TV series, if it is a small-scale one, it’s hard to say if it’s too high. If it’s an investment of several million, even if it’s used for him to film for fun, it doesn’t matter. Anyway, the money is all his, and it’s okay if it’s gone. Keep earning, as long as the filming of this film is over, he can come back and continue to make music in a down-to-earth manner, then he will earn a lot of money, and this money can be used as money to buy lessons, in exchange for him to be more interested in music from now on Focus is also worth it! However, this time, a budget of 20 to 30 million yuan was reported. To be honest, Qi Jie was really entangled with the budget statement handed over by Han Shunzhang.

Let's criticize, she really doesn't understand this, and she really doesn't have much confidence in Li Qian's filming ability. In addition, in fact, the company originally made music, up to Liao Liao, He Runqing, Xie Bing, Wang Jingxue They, down to Zhuang Meiyue and the newcomers, and then to the musicians in the company, all shook their heads at this.

But don't approve it... This is what Li Qian has to do, what's the use of her not approving it! Even Liao Liao felt that he couldn't persuade him, and even made indirect remarks from the beginning to the end. After sensing Li Qian's determination, he simply didn't say a word of persuasion from the beginning to the end, but whispered to himself in private. In the next two or three months, he will go out for a run, and this amount of money is enough for him to pay! Anyway, he's still young, he's a bit playful, it's normal, so let's pay for it!

In the end, Qi Jie still signed and approved, even though her brows were deeply frowned.

It's just that if it's approved, it's approved. Every time she thinks about this matter, she always feels anxious in her heart, feeling like her heart is bleeding—this is twenty to thirty million!

The money was all saved up through hard work in the past two years, and it was sold album by album! The company started from scratch, and its family background was already weak, but now it has finally become a little bit more. If he loses 20 to 30 million yuan in the end, not to mention losing the bottom line, it will at least hurt his vitality, and he has to start all over again. Started to accumulate!

But now, even though the colleagues are enemies, so many singers—although most of them are small and medium-sized singers who are not very famous—have come out to praise this matter so unanimously. Obviously, they are either intentionally disgusting people, Or it's obvious bad intentions to stir things up!

In short, there is no kindness in my stomach!

However, Qi Jie and Liao Liao didn't know anything about film and television. Apart from sending Huang Wenjuan to be an executive producer and the company's accountant to follow the crew and keep money, both of them stared blankly. .

When Liao Liao threw away the newspaper and drank water there indignantly, Qi Jie couldn't help but suggested, "You must be out of time, or, should I go over and watch it myself? At least help him watch it, can it save a lot of time?" A little is a little!"

Liao Liao shook his head directly, "What's the use of you in the past? It's not enough for Juanzi to keep an eye on you? You went in the past, and he said that the money will be spent. Can you not let him spend it?"

Qi Jie shrugged her shoulders, but after a while, she tried again and said: "Or, I'll call over there, she's been idle recently anyway, Li Qian is not in the company, she won't come over to meet you at all, it just so happens Ask her to do me a favor, how much can I persuade her to help?"

Liao Liao was taken aback when he heard the words, then gave her a blank look, and said directly: "Bad idea!"

Qi Jie shrugged again, and Liao Liao said, "You think she doesn't understand who he is? Who can stop him from doing what he wants to do? You have to know that no matter what he wants to do these years, he has never done anything. It failed! That kind of heart... Hey, it’s a bad idea! Believe it or not, let me tell you, she must have never persuaded me about this matter from beginning to end!"

After a pause, she couldn't help curling her lips, and said, "I can't even persuade Miss Ben, because of her? Huh! Besides, that guy is very smart. I guess, instead of persuading her, she might even put on a look. Looks very interested!"

"Uh..." Qi Jie hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but said: "I think you may have misunderstood this matter, after all, you have limited contact with her, and you made the relationship so stiff from the beginning that it can no longer be stiff. , looking at her is a bit... Don't worry, let me tell you, I have been in contact with her many times, and I know her a little bit. To be honest, although she is extremely smart, her mind is actually very simple. ...Such a very emotional person! I don't think she would do the kind of thing you said. On the contrary, I think what you said is correct, she might really be filming Li Qian This matter is very interesting and supportive, but it must not be pretended, but from the bottom of her heart."

"Yo!" Hearing this, Liao Liao blinked his eyes a few times, couldn't help squinting at Qi Jie, and said in a strange way: "What's the matter, according to what you mean, it's because I don't have a common language with him, but there is something wrong over there." ?”

Qi Jie was stunned for a moment, then couldn't help but rolled her eyes, "Stop doing this!"

After a pause, he continued: "But what you said makes sense to me! Hey... hey, you're crazy, you're in the company, and you still... um, um... come on, shameless Yes, you still think this is in the dormitory! Let me tell you, if you dare to do this again, be careful that I tell Li Qian that we are gay!"

Liao Liao laughed loudly at first, and said disdainfully: "Cut! You think he is taboo about this! Let me tell you, there is no man in the world who does not expect to have two women in his bed! He is no exception! "

"You crazy woman!" Qi Jie couldn't help but glared at Liao Liao while wiping the lip gloss and saliva on her lips and cheeks. She turned to leave, but came back again, picked up the newspaper on the coffee table, shook it, and asked, "I made such a fuss that you almost forgot about the business, what should I do? You are the proprietress, what do you say?" talk!"

Hearing this, Liao Liao glanced at the stack of newspapers coldly, and said indifferently: "What should we do? Cold salad! Let them say!"

Qi Jie was taken aback when he heard this.

At this time, Liao Liao's eyes were a little absent-minded, but he said in his mouth: "Perhaps you are right, she should be in favor of Li Qian's filming this movie, even if she knows she will pay for it! So, Of course I can't lose to her! And..."

She turned her head to look at Qi Jie, "Maybe... he is equally talented in filming?"

Qi Jie thought about it, shrugged, "Maybe?"

"Perhaps!" Liao Liao said.

Qi Jie nodded and let out a long sigh, "Maybe... I hope so!"

After a pause, she smiled again, and said, "You're right, no matter what he has done in the past few years, he has never failed!" After a pause, she said: "Then we... temporarily I believe he will continue to win!"

On the outskirts of Shuntian Prefecture, Huairou Film and Television City.

This film and television city was first built in 1986. Because of its large scale, sophisticated architecture, and its backing to Shuntian Prefecture, a national cultural center and film and television center, it has been completely completed and fully opened to the outside world since 1988. Until now , has always been the largest film and television shooting base in the country. It is said that more than a dozen dramas are being filmed here all year round, and hundreds of film and television works are filmed and filmed here every year.

Next to the film and television city, there are several affiliated star-rated hotels. They were placed in the early 1990s. They were once famous for their elegant decoration and thoughtful service. But now, it has not been renovated for many years, and the service is not good. It's very good, and the fee is quite expensive, but, backed by the largest film and television city in the country, this place is still overcrowded all year round. Some people even say that if you stay here for a year, you will be able to meet at least half of the stars in the country, which shows its prosperity.

On August 16, the crew of "Legend of the New White Snake" began to check into a three-star hotel next to the film and television city, called Yanshan Hotel. Of course, the first batch of people who came over were all those in charge of the front line, led by Han Shunzhang.

On August 18th, a large number of main creators of the film crew began to arrive one after another, and many actors also arrived later, and began to finalize some matters with the film crew before the filming started-such as costumes.

Because the selected story background of this play is in the Song Dynasty, almost all the costumes of the characters are specially customized. Dozens of local craftsmen in Suzhou and Wuxi embroidered it stitch by stitch, which is quite elegant.

Of course, although "Legend of the New White Snake" mainly revolves around the love story between the White Snake and Xu Xian, there are a large number of supporting roles in the play, and there are also many passers-by. For such characters, if the costumes are also made , the cost was really too high, so in the end Li Qian accepted everyone's opinions, and finally decided that Cao Zhan, Han Shunzhang and Zhu Mingyu would be responsible for renting some Song Dynasty clothing and accessories from the film and television city.

On August 22, Li Qian and Bai Yujing arrived in Huairou Film and Television City. While telling the staff to take Bai Yujing to settle down first, he himself couldn't take a breather, so he went to see Han Shunzhang and the others' rental first. Clothing——fortunately, although it is not comparable to custom-made ones, Huairou Film and Television City has been doing this kind of clothing rental business all year round. Cao Zhan and the others rent relatively high-end ones, so they don’t look too cheap. Even if Li Qian saw it, he felt that he would be able to deal with it.

Then, the main actors began to put on costumes, put on makeup, and do set-up photos in the play.

Not to mention, as soon as Bai Yujing's white lady appeared, Cao Zhan, Jin Han, Zhao He and others all admired and praised: she is both beautiful and virtuous, especially her eyes, which are always full of affection Different kind of tenderness, the feeling of this white lady, combined with the image of the white lady that Li Qian tried his best to create in the script, it is perfect to the extreme!

…………

Although the filming has not yet officially started, with the arrival of all the crew members and the arrival of the main actors in the play, the entire "Legend of the White Snake" crew has begun to operate at full capacity smoothly. The preparations are moving forward in an orderly manner.

As a producer and director, Li Qian needed to nod his head to confirm almost everything in the crew. Therefore, it is conceivable that Li Qian was busy.

He has to talk to almost all the main actors, combine the script, explain to them the performance style and final effect he wants, and go to the film and television city with Jin Han to determine the camera positions for the early shooting, and even, Even the group of craftsmen who were brought here by Cao Zhan needed the actor to wear them after modifying the costumes according to the actor's figure, and let Li Qian take a look at them, and the work was not completed until he was completely satisfied.

And at this time, a large number of reporters began to pour into Huairou Film and Television City, trying to interview the crew. Only then did Li Qian learn about the tone of the media, but he just laughed it off when he heard the news of one kind or another. .

All interview requests were rejected, and the crew prepared to close down the entire filming process.

On August 26, Huairou Film and Television City.

Just when Liao Liao's first global concert tour is under intense preparation, and Rose Power's first album will be released soon, and they are already preparing to go out to promote the album, and the news that "Li Qian is going to shoot The White Lady" , When all kinds of discussions triggered by this news were on the air, at 8:40 in the morning, "Legend of the New White Snake" officially started filming.

finish exam. For three days, I had trouble sleeping and eating, I couldn't eat well, I couldn't sleep well, and I was frightened. I was always turning on the turn signal in my dreams, and it was finally over. Although the examiner was really fucked up, and even though I was really nervous, I miraculously didn't make any mistakes, got 100 points, and passed the third test!
