Chapter 753 Unexpectedly Interesting

Shuntian Mansion, in the lobby of Oriental Studios.

Wu Han looked at Li Qian's shiny bald head curiously and surprised, with a look of dumbfounding, "Why did I suddenly remember that I shaved it?"

Li Qian smiled.

Wu Han is a senior in the director department of the 89th grade of the Film Academy. He and Li Qian are from the same family. In recent years, they have been in this circle anyway. On other occasions, they have met a few times and chatted in depth. Friendship is not much, but the same door is the same door after all, even if you have never met or talked about it, you will have more face than others.

What's more, among the brothers and sisters who came out of Shuntian Film Academy over the years, Wu Han is one of the few people Li Qian admires. So last May, when Wu Han's movie was released, Li Qian also rushed over to support the show. This year he also said hello, and it happened that he was also in Shuntian Mansion, so he also came to support.

Wu Han is one of the few film school graduates in the past ten years who went straight to commercial films from the very beginning, and was able to do well from the very beginning, walking on the right path from the very beginning. one!

From Li Qian's point of view, Wu Han's talent is actually not too high, at least compared with Jin Han, his talent is absolutely invincible, but he is the kind of person who is very good at using his talent A person who has shown all his strengths—it has been eight years since he graduated. This is his fifth film. Although the first four films are not considered big hits, they are all films with good box office and good reputation.

A rare talent.

After the two shook hands, Li Qian replied with a smile, "Shaved and cool off!"

This answer made people even more dumbfounded.

Wu Han said helplessly: "You come here, good guy, with a big bald head, you just squeezed out our headlines tomorrow! Everyone is so patronizing to look at your bald head, I'm afraid you even remember the name of our movie Can't stop!"

Li Qian laughed out loud when he heard the words, and Sun Ruoxuan joked, "Across the World, look, remember it!"

Wu Han smiled helplessly.

Then turn to others.

Standing beside him was a middle-aged man in a suit and leather shoes, named Zhao Zhentao, who shook hands with Li Qian and Sun Ruoxuan very politely, then handed over his business card, and introduced himself additionally: "My lord, Zhao Zhentao, was originally engaged in import and export trade, and was registered the year before last. After joining Dongfang Yuanhui Media, Director Wu's "Across the World" is our Dongyuan Media's entrepreneurial work. I have long admired Qianshao and Ms. Sun's names, and hope to have the opportunity to cooperate in the future."

Both Li Qian and Sun Ruoxuan bent down to take the business cards, looked at them, and shook hands again. The habitual politeness and humility were almost modeled in the same mold, "You are welcome, I wish "Across the World" a great success." Sell, we will keep in touch in the future."

In fact, it's just polite words.

In the past two years, the film market has shown a certain rebound trend, coupled with the overall domestic economic situation, there are certainly many wealthy people who invest in theaters, and the bosses who are willing to spend a fortune to make a movie enter the theater to test the waters They are also common. Therefore, especially in the past two years, more and more rich people like Zhao Zhentao registered a company, invested in making a film, and then broke into the entertainment circle.

The only difference is that, in Li Qian's opinion, the partners and partners Zhao Zhentao chose to enter the industry are more reliable.

Again, Wu Han may not be able to make a shocking masterpiece of art, and it is difficult to produce a super high box office that shocks the world, but in the movie circle, it is already very rare to be able to guarantee that every movie will not lose money!

Over the past ten years, there are no more than three or five directors in the domestic director circle.

In business, even if you don’t make money, at least don’t lose money!

I shook hands with Zhao Zhentao, and then several important characters in "Across the World".

The male and female protagonists are all acquaintances, even if they haven't met, they know who they are.

The leading actor is Bian Fang, who once acted in a martial arts movie called "Three Musketeers in White". It was one of the first few movies Li Qian watched after he came to this time and space.

Well, in the summer of 1995, I watched it with Wang Jinglu at Daming Lake Studios.

Later, I went to a wine bureau convened by Bai Yujing and met him. Only then did I know that he and Bai Yujing were one of the rare good friends after getting along with each other over the years.

The heroine is more familiar, one of the most popular actresses in China today, Fu Hongxue.

In fact, she is also one of the top-notch girls in Li Qian's opinion among the new generation of actors in China. Compared with Qin Jingjing, her beauty is indeed more enchanting and charming.

Of course, Li Qian didn't think much of the frontier guard's acting skills, but Fu Hongxue's acting skills were still impressive.

Shake hands and congratulate each other.

He is more familiar with the frontier guards. Although he dare not call himself a big brother, he can still make a joke easily. Fu Hongxue is relatively reserved. He shook hands with Li Qian in a well-regulated manner. On the contrary, she is more familiar with Sun Ruoxuan - last year's "Fengshen Bang" had an overwhelming ratings, and Fu Hongxue appeared alone in Sun Ruoxuan's "Ruoxuan is Coming".

The new guest has already entered the door, and after a few simple greetings, Li Qian and Sun Ruoxuan walked in with their heads down, chatting casually while walking——

"Hey, brother, I haven't finished talking in the car just now, and I won't let you get in. Let Ms. Momo go to the head office?"

"I don't care. If you have the ability, you can find her yourself, and she can do it if she wants."

"Don't mind...that's fine! But, you said it, it's done! Don't deny it when the time comes!"

"Admit it! You go!"

"Hey, don't be so sure, I'll find her when I turn around, I don't believe I can't finish a show!"

…………

"Across the World" was unexpectedly interesting.

Halfway through the movie, Li Qian couldn't help revising his evaluation about Wu Han in his mind. After the movie was over, everyone stood up and applauded, and Li Qian also stood up with everyone and applauded enthusiastically.

How should I put it, the way is not new, but Wu Han told this story full of wit and wit.

While applauding, Sun Ruoxuan came over and said, "The film is not bad!"

Li Qian nodded, thought for a while, turned his head and said to her: "It's actually the same way as Feng Bicheng who recently joined our company's famous work "Half-Day Hero", but he played it more freshly and refinedly. Feng Bicheng didn't It’s a pity to go down this road.”

For movies, Sun Ruoxuan is a layman, and Li Qian said that, she just listened to the meaning, but, remember the original words, you can use this to brag in the future, anyway, no one knows that it was Li Qian who said it to herself of.

In the past few years, she has bluffed many people with this great teleportation skill.

…………

The ratings battle of TV series is in the ascendant, the summer season is coming to an end, "The Assassin" is invincible, "Future World" is still in decline, and "Across the World" is entering the game again!

It’s always like this. In the first half of the summer, Hollywood blockbusters are released together, almost every week. Domestic films that are a little bit ambitious, but not so confident, are often timid and prefer to choose the end of the summer. , and I don’t want to go head-to-head with Hollywood blockbusters.

But in fact, in Li Qian's opinion, Wu Han was a little too timid this time.

Although in terms of investment alone, the 30 million investment in "Across the World" is not a big movie in the current domestic film market, and after watching the whole film, let alone special effects shots, it doesn't even use special effects shots at all. A few, ordinarily have nothing to do with the word "blockbuster".

But in Li Qian's view, it's not the big investment that makes a blockbuster movie.

Big ambitions are also considered blockbusters.

This "Across the World" is novel in conception, exquisite in conception, elegant in picture, and even the lines are unusually thoughtful - after Feng Bicheng's "Half a Hero", this is another rare film that can describe life in the market with gusto. Funny movie.

To a certain extent, the standards of these two films are not inferior even if they are included in Zhao Meicheng's best works.

Compared to "Sword Immortal", which cost a huge amount of investment, Li Qian is more optimistic that "Across the World" can compete with Hollywood blockbusters!

It's a pity that the new company's entrepreneurial work, coupled with Wu Han's always-so-safe temperament, eventually made them lack courage even though they were very ambitious, but when it was their turn to fight.

After watching the movie, let's applaud. Li Qian left without waiting for the event to end—Sun Ruoxuan didn't leave instead. After hearing Li Qian's evaluation, she temporarily decided to ask Wu Han for an interview.

Today is Monday, and last week's movie box office rankings have come out.

In the second week of its release, "The Assassins" steadily won the box office of 58.5 million, and continued to sit firmly on the top of the box office list. Its total box office also jumped to 124.98 million.

And what is rare is that although this film is not perfect, its slow pace has been criticized by many young movie viewers, but at least this film is still worth watching.

Especially with "Sword Immortal" with a messy plot in front of it, the small problem of a slower pace is nothing, and I can bear it if I can bear it.

In the past week, the only "Future World" that was considered to be likely to cause some trouble and pressure for "Assassin" finally made a solid 29.84 million weekly box office, although it failed to really create "Assassin". What trouble, but after five weeks of release in China, the total box office has reached 258.35 million, officially surpassing the 245.37 million of "Legend of the Dark Night", becoming the double champion of the domestic box office market and the box office rankings of imported blockbusters this year!

In its sixth week of release this week, "Sword Immortal" has only 8.48 million box office left, and it is impossible to catch up with it. At present, although "Assassins" has certain potential, if it wants to reach the box office of about 300 million, And surpassing "Future World" is still a very difficult task, so difficult that it is almost impossible!

As for now...

Sun Ruoxuan couldn't help thinking: "Maybe Wu Han's "Across the World" will be the next hot spot in the movie market?"
