Chapter 653 The Trip to "Sword Immortal"

In the TV series "Princess Returning the Pearl", more than half, or even 60% of the scenes are in the palace, so the shooting task of Chengde Mansion is the heaviest among all the filming locations.

Seeing that after a light snowfall, the weather was gradually warming up again, the crew immediately seized all the time to shoot, and before they knew it, the progress picked up.

The preliminary estimate before coming here was to shoot here until the first ten days of December, and a lot of time was delayed during this period, but after shooting, after a calculation, it was probably possible to finish the shooting within the expected time.

Seeing that everything was on the right track, and even Han Shunzhang's control over the crew and the play showed a more proficient attitude, Li Qian simply packed up his things, and the crew drove over from Shuntian Mansion to take him off. I'm going back to Shuntianfu to catch the plane.

Before, I promised Liu Chengzhang that he would appear in a few scenes in his new movie, but now his new movie is almost finished, and there have been two reminders on the phone, and it is impossible to justify not going.

But before leaving, Li Qian received another call from Qi Jie.

Many controversies on the side of Xunfei Group, as well as behind the debates surrounding whether to go public or not, some things behind the forces and opinions of various parties have gradually surfaced.

In the early years, Xunfei Group was attracting people to invest and raise funds. Because of lack of money, the company almost went bankrupt. The management side also deeply feels that the controlling stake in their hands is too weak. If some major shareholders unite, they may even directly threaten their status.

Therefore, they communicated with some investment institutions and financial institutions and wanted to go public.

Being listed does not mean that they can expand their equity, but it can greatly reduce the shareholdings held by the current group's major shareholders!

To put it simply, when the management is unable to complete the holding, the more dispersed the equity, the more conducive to their stable position-but in recent years, the business of Xunfei Group has developed rapidly, even if the listing is postponed for one year, the company's valuation For many shareholders, this is by no means the best time to go public.

In recent years, Li Qian followed Xunfei Group's share expansion and financing several times, but he also deliberately missed one and did not follow up. He dropped his shareholding ratio to the second place, second only to the management side. And over the years, his consistent attitude has been to support the management and never participate in the company's operation and management.

But even so, the eye-catching proportion of equity in his hand still makes the management fearful.

Qi Jie and Wang Jinglu, as Li Qian's representatives, had always been ambiguous in their previous discussions. This also led to all kinds of desperate lobbying and win-win from both sides, and each expressed their own interests.

Up to now, Qi Jie felt that she had basically figured it out, so she called Li Qian. But her suggestion is, "I think we can't continue to indulge the management in this matter. Since doing it is doing it, and it's worrying not to do it, then simply show them the sword!"

"This matter is obviously a violation of the interests of all shareholders. The purpose is just that they want to add some weight to their importance in the company. In fact, it may not be beneficial to themselves, but they still insist on I have to do it, so I discussed it with Xiao Lu, and we both agreed that we should teach them a lesson."

Li Qian was silent for a moment and asked, "What are you going to do?"

Qi Jie responded, "Combining with those other shareholder representatives, we can easily get more than 60% of the voting rights, and even directly terminate the contract with the management and the board of directors. It is impossible for them not to give in!"

Li Qian hesitated for a moment, and said: "We have this kind of power and ability, but I always feel that we should use it with caution. Are you sure we have to do this this time?"

Qi Jie was silent for a moment, then said with certainty: "Yes."

So Li Qian said: "Then do it!"

…………

The north is getting colder and colder, but the south is still beautiful.

The main filming locations of "Sword Immortal" are almost all in the south, and their base camp is also in Guilin Mansion. Of course, for the convenience of post-production, Minghu Cultural Special Effects Department has a team that follows the crew to shoot— - Li Qian's plane arrived at the place, and they didn't even use their crew's car to pick it up. It was the staff of Minghu Cultural Special Effects Department who came to pick it up.

Liu Chengzhang is now a top director in China. A new film can involve hundreds of millions of funds, and with a large sum of money, he can shoot whatever he wants, and change a few places if he wants to change the script. If the shooting time is not enough, it will be extended, and no one from the producer or investor dares to make any comments.

A "Sword Fairy" has been conceived, prepared, and fund-raised since last year. It was launched this spring, and the filming was changed and changed in the middle. It has been filmed for more than half a year, with more than 30 filming locations. Land, countless actors, all of whom are big-name actors, come and go, come again and again, answering his call at any time, even if many of them actually have limited roles, they are willing to come and show their faces.

Up to now, this drama is finally about to wrap up.

In the contract signed at the beginning, Li Qian's role was to be filmed for three days, and he was positioned as a guest star. The salary was only a symbolic 30,000 yuan.

Of course, this little money is just for friendship. Although Minghu Culture didn't invest a cent in this drama, the real big head is in the special effects. Up to now, the filming of this film has not yet been finished, and various pre-productions have already cost millions. When the filming is finished, special effects will be produced while editing. Yes - at least half of the investment in the whole film was spent on special effects, otherwise, domestic film production in this year, even if it is a blockbuster that burns money, would not cost 80 million!

Therefore, these three days of guest appearances are all considered as a buy one get one free bonus.

What's more, Liu Chengzhang's request for Li Qian's role is extremely simple.

In short, there is only one thing: just be cool and handsome!

In the film industry, Li Qian is a newcomer and a latecomer, whether as an actor or as a director, but his status in the entire entertainment industry is extremely high. Liao Liao, as a global queen, is already enough. Comparable to a big name like Liu Chengzhang, even if Li Qian is not higher than Liu Chengzhang, at least he will not fall behind.

The three-day scene was filmed in two days. Before leaving, I drank some wine with Liu Chengzhang and chatted until midnight. Li Qian's second guest trip as an actor was over.

In fact, his biggest gain from this trip is not the role that allows him to show his face in "Sword Fairy", not the little salary, nor the close relationship with Liu Chengzhang, but more importantly, the beauty of him and Liu Chengzhang. Pointing to Fang Baijin, he exchanged a lot of things seriously.

Among the three most beautiful figures in the country, Wei Fuzhi became famous the earliest, and he was Qin Wei's staunch partner. The combination of him and Qin Wei was already famous twenty years ago, and they are also famous in the international film circle. Zhao Xiuqi was originally an oil painter with little reputation, but later became famous as an art director for Du Weiyun.

In the past few years, Wei Fuzhi and Zhao Xiuqi were also known as the two great gods in the film and art world.

The former is profound, sharp and simple, which greatly contributed to Qin Wei's realistic style. A "Red Light District", so far, is still a masterpiece that no one can surpass.

The latter is smooth, grand, and has an indescribable sense of boundlessness, and borrows a lot of ideas from oil paintings, pushing Du Weiyun's incomparably unique historical martial arts feelings to the peak.

Among the three big beauty fingers, Fang Baijin became famous the latest.

He used to be a high school art teacher and had published several novels. Later, by chance, he met Liu Chengzhang, and since then he has been out of control. As long as it is Liu Chengzhang's movie, Meizhi must be him.

Liu Chengzhang's movies are originally the most typical southern style, delicate, graceful, light and faint like a traditional ink painting, all emotions, conflicts, and fluctuations are so reserved and controllable, and later Fang Baijin joined , which immediately helped him improve this original mirror image style to a higher level.

To be honest, despite the huge sales of "Swordsman and the Monk", it is still at the top of the box office list of domestic movies, but in Li Qian's opinion, the peak of the two's cooperation should be "Nie Yinniang" in 1996.

Of course, the movie cost 20 million yuan, and the box office was 35 million yuan. Although it is said that the later video tapes sold well, it is estimated that it is only enough to pay back the cost.

Moreover, many of the oriental temperament and feelings in it are not understood by Westerners. Although they have won unanimous praise in China, they have not been able to get back any honor from Europe, so that the film has not been able to get it in a wider range. The status it deserves is basically the box office and honors, but it failed to meet expectations.

However, Li Qian still remembers, at the turn of spring and summer in 1996, when he and the trio of Cao Zhan and Yu Bojun swiped tickets to watch "Nie Yinniang" three times in a row, the shock that Liu Chengzhang and Fang Baijin brought to him .

There is no doubt that they are the top filmmakers.

Drinking and chatting with him all night, Li Qian felt that he had gained a lot, and Fang Baijin seemed to have re-acquainted with Li Qian who had only appeared in front of him as a "leader" before.

After drinking the night's wine, everyone exchanged mobile phone numbers and made an appointment to meet again in Shuntian Mansion after the filming of "Sword Immortal". Li Qian also promised that when the time comes, Cao Zhan will be called, and the four of them will have a good drink!

At present, Li Qian's identity as a director can represent his personal image style, of course, "Legend of the New White Snake", and among them, Cao Zhan has made great contributions.

Although Li Qian is a professional student of photography, he also has some research on aesthetics, but aesthetics is never something you can learn by learning a little theory in class and watching a few famous paintings. As for thin hair, some people are very talented, this thing definitely relies on hard power!

In this regard, even if Li Qian pretends to be full of blockbuster movies and masterpieces, limited to his talent and knowledge, he cannot compare with Cao Zhan and Fang Baijin.

What's more, he has a lot of future fashions and design concepts in his mind, and it seems that there are some big money to spend, but some things that Zhou Mo and Zhu Mingyu designed together, especially some women's clothing, made him have to sigh with emotion. The so-called "genius" is really just paper!

Therefore, even though he knew that his level was limited, Li Qian was still willing to communicate more with masters like Fang Baijin in order to improve himself.

Because the many films he will shoot next are not as simple as "My Sassy Girlfriend", and they are not as simple as "Princess Returning the Pearl", which Zhu Mingyu can easily handle at the moment.

Among other things, if "Farewell My Concubine" is to be filmed well, then Zhu Mingyu at the time can definitely not afford the beauty of this movie. Even with the addition of Cao Zhan, Li Qian would feel a little thin.

When necessary, he would consider asking Fang Baijin, one of the three most beautiful fingers in the country, to help him with Cao Zhan.

Lao Cao's style is majestic and gorgeous, just like his identity, three generations of clothes and five generations of food, that is the rich life of many generations, given him a thick accumulation, while Fang Baijin is subtle and reserved, and the critical moment is on the spot. In Li Qian It seems that if the two of them can chat together and work together, it is definitely a typical example of complementarity!

It's just...of course, even if you use Fang Baijin's ability, you can't dig the wall so clearly, at least you can't dig in front of Liu Chengzhang!

Every director values ​​his team very much, and even relies on them as his right-hand man.

Needless to say, the three big beauty fingers, Qin Wei can move and change anything when making movies, but Wei Fuzhi's art director will definitely be determined from the beginning, and the combination of Du Weiyun and Zhao Xiuqi is also unbreakable The same is true for Liu Chengzhang and Fang Baijin.

A similar example is Zheng Yuan's screenwriter, He Kun - so far, for more than ten years, every movie that Zheng Yuan has starred in, the screenwriter must be He Kun! Even if it is not original, the script must be handed over to He Kun to go over it and make corresponding revisions before Zheng Yuan agrees to act!

And He Kun's script is indeed the one that praises Zheng Yuan the most!

Over the years, if we only discuss the market value of a single actor and the box office ability of a single actor, Zheng Yuan is definitely second to none in China.

Another example, such as Zhou Zhengju, the martial arts instructor of the famous martial arts actor and martial arts star Guo Yulong, also has the same meaning. For Guo Yulong's filming, the martial arts movements and martial arts scenes must be designed by Zhou Zhengju!

And Zhou Zhengju is also known as the number one martial arts in China because he has supervised and directed many martial arts and martial arts movies of Guo Yulong for many years!

For a filmmaker, this kind of configuration is so hard that it can't be harder, it is simply indispensable!

After a night of drinking and talking, Li Qian got up early the next morning, left Guilin Mansion, flew back to Shuntian Mansion by plane, and then went straight to Chengde Mansion by car.

Over there, the scene of the summer resort in "Princess Returning the Pearl" is almost over.
