Chapter 707: A Must-Have Weapon to Guarantee the Box Office!

The weather in March, early spring, is still a bit cold outside.

Li Qian stood at the entrance of the hotel, chatted with Du Yihua for a while, and then was called over by Cao Zhan.

The two leaned against the wall and both lit cigarettes. Not far away was Cao Zhan's Land Rover.

The night wind blows and it's a little cold.

Cao Zhan said: "Before you came, Hu Fei and Uncle Qin kept asking me to join the screenwriting team of their new play, but I rejected it. I'm too busy, and I'm going to Changsha mansion soon."

Li Qian nodded and patted his shoulder.

"At the end of the year, probably around October, we will make a big deal together."

Cao Zhan nodded, and after smoking a few cigarettes, he said, "Take it easy about Runqing, it's better to talk about it sooner rather than later."

Li Qian gave a "hmm" and said, "I know it well."

And then nothing more.

After smoking half of a cigarette, Cao Zhan threw away half of the cigarette butt and said, "Let's go."

Then Li Qian watched him get into his car, the exhaust was "woo... woo...", a bit blasting the street, and he roared away.

After waiting for a few more minutes, a Mercedes-Benz drove by, and Li Qian was taken aback when he saw it.

…………

The heating is on in the car, which is very comfortable.

Before the car started, Qi Jie came over to smell it, and said with a smile, "It doesn't smell like much wine!"

Li Qian smiled and said while pulling on his seat belt: "Why are you here? Just send someone to pick me up. Why bother to make another trip?"

Qi Jie turned the steering wheel and drove away from the entrance of the hotel, while saying: "If you are idle, you are idle, so just come here by yourself, so as not to have to send someone around. I finally have a free time to rest, so I won't bother you."

After a pause, he said, "It's quite tiring to be a driver for our company."

Li Qian smiled, stretched out his hand, and just held her hand, but she threw it away, "Don't make trouble, let's drive!"

…………

As soon as Qi Jie's car left, Du Yihua stepped out from the hotel entrance, beside her was a somewhat drunk Zhou Jingyi.

"That's Qi Jie's car." Du Yihua said.

Zhou Jingyi Xu was really drunk, and smiled innocently, "Mr. Du, you are really good, you can even remember whose car?"

Du Yihua opened the bag, took out a cigarette, lit it, took a puff, spit it out, and said with a smile: "In this circle, there are actually very few cars that I can remember, only seven or eight."

Zhou Jingyi looked at her, seemingly puzzled.

Du Yihua glanced at her and asked, "You didn't leave on purpose just now, and went to tease him?"

Zhou Jingyi smiled, still looking naive after drinking, especially the drunken blush on the two dimples, and the slightly squinted hazy eyes, even Du Yihua, as a woman, thought she was very attractive. people.

"Tick him? I don't have that ability!" She smiled foolishly, and said, "I just want to ask him if he will open the cast for the next film he will be filming."

"What's the answer? Did you ask?" Du Yihua asked.

"Yeah!" Zhou Jingyi nodded, "The question came out! Yes! And he welcomes me to audition!"

Du Yihua lowered his head and smiled, took a deep breath, exhaled the curling smoke, raised his hand to touch Zhou Jingyi's slightly hot cheek, and said with a smile: "You are too anxious, this is not a good thing."

As soon as she touched it, the drunkenness in Zhou Jingyi's eyes suddenly disappeared.

The naivety was slightly reduced, and she said helplessly: "In a year, there are only a few big directors who open new plays, only those few films, and only those few female characters in a play, or even one less. Didn't you say that I can't catch it? I can't miss Li Qian!"

Du Yihua smiled when he heard this.

She is not beautiful, but with her exquisite makeup and faint smile, she has an indescribably feminine and quiet temperament.

"It's not hopeful, but it's not hopeless. Mr. Hu signed Xie Ziwei last year. It seems that he really wanted to praise her, but that's Qin Wei's play, so he doesn't count." Du Yihua laughed.

Zhou Jingyi blinked.

Du Yihua continued: "Your way now is to act in your literary films steadily, hone your acting skills, strive to win an award, and don't worry about being popular. If there is a suitable opportunity, I will push you Go up! You have to trust your sister Du, right?"

Zhou Jingyi smiled naively and nodded.

Du Yihua also laughed.

But after taking a puff of cigarette, she looked at Zhou Jingyi, but suddenly said calmly: "Also, remember, whether it's Li Qian, Qin Wei, or Hu Fei, none of them can be flirted with if you want. And people like them are not the kind of people who will be dazzled by beauty... Do you understand what I mean?"

Zhou Jingyi's eyes dodged for a moment.

Du Yihua continued to calmly say: "Follow me, Sister Du, you don't have to take these crooked paths. Of course, even if you want to go, you have to be careful. If you lose your body but don't get anything, you don't need to follow me." Did you say more?"

Zhou Jingyi smiled and nodded.

"I know Mr. Du."

"Call me Miss Du."

"Got it, sister."

…………

It's quiet in the car.

Qi Jie asked: "Where are you going? Where is Xiaolu?"

Li Qian nodded, and said "Yes".

Qi Jie focused on driving, while Li Qian was sitting in the passenger seat, but started to feel dazed.

Even the conversations are inconsistent.

"Director Qin really invited you?"

"Um."

"Refused?"

"Um."

Qi Jie sighed, but then, Li Qian also sighed.

Qi Jie turned her head and glanced at him curiously.

Not to mention anything else, I just feel that at this moment, he seems to be a little depressed.

"What's wrong?"

When the car drove on the straight road, Qi Jie slowed down and reached out to hold his hand.

Li Qian shook his head, "It's nothing."

Some things are not easy to make predictions, even if you are facing the person you trust the most, even though you know very clearly in your heart that no matter what you say or say, she must have no reservations believe. From the beginning, it has been like this.

However, it cannot be said.

Because many things and many examples are only in his own mind.

Others, no matter how close they are, don't know what Li Qian has experienced or witnessed in another time and space, so there is no way to prove it.

Qin Wei said: Let's make it, let's make martial arts, fight with Hollywood movies!

He is full of confidence, and when he said this, he had the aura of looking down on the world - he seems to be qualified to speak like this, it seems that in the whole Chinese movie circle, if he is not qualified to speak like this, no one is qualified up. He is a film master!

But... in another time and space around 2000, Li Qian was not qualified to participate in this level of thinking and discussion, so he didn't know that when Zhang Guoshi decided to give up what he had always been good at, and also the most impressive to the people of the country and the world. When the realism genre, which is the heart of the world's movie fans, resolutely turns to commercial productions, does he have the same confidence and courage as Qin Wei now?

maybe!

Sighing again, Li Qian grabbed Qi Jie's hand with his backhand, thought for a while, and turned to look at her.

Eyes on each other.

Qi Jie's eyes were quiet, with a touch of inquiry.

Some things cannot be said or said, but other things are worth sharing.

So Li Qian said with a smile: "I watch Liu Chengzhang's next play, and I may not stay in Hu Fei's Huafei Film and Television."

Qi Jie really became curious, "Oh? How should I say it?"

So Li Qian described to her the few conversations at the wine table, and then smiled: "Although Hu Fei is good at dancing, but on the one hand, Qin Wei is domineering, and even he has to give up three points, and on the other hand, Liu Chengzhang is restrained but stubborn. , I think he is a little like pressing the gourd to float the ladle."

After listening to Li Qian's description, Qi Jie laughed, "Master Qin is well-deserved, he is really lenient!"

After laughing, she asked, "Then what do you mean, when the time comes we..."

Li Qian quickly shook his head, "Don't pull him! If he comes to the door for the next play, it's okay to vote a little bit, my friend! But I don't want to vote! Not to mention we spend money on him to play!"

Qi Jie hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you not optimistic about his future development?"

Li Qian pursed his lips and thought for a long time before answering with a smile: "If the box office of his "Sword Immortal" is less than 100 million, then his next film is still worth investing in!"

Qi Jie was taken aback when he heard this.

The box office of "Sword Fairy" is less than 100 million?

How can it be!

Not to mention that he got 270 million for his last movie, but just talking about the investment in the movie itself, after two additions, the total investment should have exceeded 100 million!

It is estimated that such a movie has just saved its breakeven after selling for 250 million yuan!

If "Sword Immortal" can't even sell for 100 million yuan, it will be a blood loss!

…………

Before the car arrived home, he suddenly received a call from Ming Xiaojing.

She opened her mouth and said: "Qian'er, let me tell you something, I was also entrusted by others."

Li Qian let go of Qi Jie's hand, "Sister, tell me."

"Boss Hu looked at your attitude at the wine table just now, and it seemed that you were not very interested. He was afraid that you would not be able to save face if you refused immediately. The game was over just now. He asked me to ask, is that He Yingyu in your company able to make money?" Is there a release date?"

Li Qian understood in seconds.

In fact, in the final analysis, Hu Fei and Qin Wei are still not confident in setting up today's table.

Is Qin Wei's brand big enough? But to spend tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions of dollars in large investments, and to operate commercial productions and blockbuster movies that Qin Wei has never done before, whether it is Hu Fei or Qin Wei, in fact, there is something missing in their hearts. Emboldened.

Therefore, it is estimated that the first thing they thought of was to pull themselves over!

Qin Wei and Li Qian, this is definitely the strongest guarantee of success in today's domestic film industry!

But what if Li Qian disagrees?

Li Qian has always been known in the circle for his eccentric temper, his dislike of contact with the outside world, and his dislike of too much cooperation with the outside world. Therefore, even Hu Fei and Qin Wei, even if it is estimated that they are already ready to let Li Qian Mentally prepared to bring money into the game, but what if Li Qian refuses outright?

He Yingyu is also very popular!

In short, no matter how confident Qin Wei is, if he wants to play a blockbuster that can easily cost over 100 million yuan, he needs to add an insurance policy to himself as an actor-he has just become popular, and the popularity will not fade in the short term, but after all, he has just debuted. He Yingyu, whose price is limited, is simply a must-have weapon to attract attention and guarantee box office!
