Chapter 767 Don't Lose Your Position!

Originally, after the filming of "Red Sorghum", Li Qian should breathe a sigh of relief.

But now, the World Cup happened, and he returned to Shuntianfu after filming "Red Sorghum". Although the pace of life slowed down suddenly, he had to put this matter on the agenda.

At least start thinking carefully.

The first is, to do, or not to do?

It should be said that even Zhao Sicun has come forward, and he also bluntly said that he came on behalf of the relevant state departments. Basically, as long as Li Qian does not want to be restricted everywhere in the future, no matter what he does, this album or single , Regardless of the quality, it must be done.

So, what to do?

There are a lot of good football songs and sports songs. The things in Li Qian's mind, domestic and foreign, are enough to make multiple albums.

However, since you are going to do it, you, Li Qian, are now the "leader" of the domestic pop music scene, and you haven't made a move for a long time. Now that you have done it, you must not lose your position!

Moreover, personally speaking, Li Qian really likes football and football-related songs. If he can contribute to a rare event like the World Cup, he is willing to bring out the best things.

What's more, representing the country! Hearing what Zhao Sicun said, although many famous international singers have contributed, the country still prefers to choose a song composed or sung by a domestic author as the theme song, that is to say—we are waiting for your stuff Come out and make the theme song!

Therefore, you must do your best!

Latin style? No Chinese style, can't represent Chinese music and culture?

please!

This kind of World Cup theme song, of course, preferably has local regional cultural characteristics, but more importantly, it is sung for people all over the world! The Latin style is sung for Latin Americans in North America, the opera style is sung for Europeans, the African style is sung for black brothers, and even a strong rock style is sung for the British—as for Chinese style and Asian style, Li Qian’s brain There are really no good and brilliant football songs, but this is not a problem, because what is sung for the Chinese people does not necessarily require football, and the way of "singing the prosperous age" will be more appetizing to the Chinese people.

Therefore, the album selection, in fact, is not too difficult to draw and draw roughly.

Now the difficulty is, how to do it?

Although Liao Liao is very tired, she is now in a period of exhaustion after more than four months of global promotion, plus the previous album recording, but she is very happy when she hears that an album will be made, Cao Zhan He and Wang Huaiyu also agreed very much and were very positive. The problem is that Young Master Yu is very hesitant now.

If you don't do it in the name of the four beauties, then do it yourself?

Li Qian didn't feel very good.

I disrupted my own established arrangements - what I did in the way of a band was rock and roll, including football songs and other unrestrained styles, but when I released my own album, I tended to be more popular and personalized.

However, no one is good at depressing the young and old.

Therefore, Li Qian stayed in Jinan Mansion for a while, and then returned to Shuntian Mansion. While thinking about the issue of album selection, he accompanied his son and daughter, giving himself a few days off.

Of course, the vacation can't be too long, because although the filming is finished, there is still a lot of work waiting for him in the post-production editing and production.

Originally, Li Qian's work plan was to cut out the later "Red Sorghum" first, but "Once Upon a Time" had to be processed later.

If we make "Red Sorghum" first, it is estimated that we can do a good job by the end of December, and then we can go to the Berlin Film Festival to register and participate. After all, in another time and space, "Red Sorghum" won the Golden Bear Award, which proves that The style of this movie is very much to the taste of Berlin. In this life, according to Li Qian's understanding, although the styles of the three major European film festivals have been fine-tuned, the overall style is not much different from that of the other time and space, so you must try it in the past.

In this case, the initial cut will be made at the end of December, and the final edited version will be made in January, and then it will participate in the Berlin Film Festival in February—on the premise that it can be selected. However, Li Qian subconsciously feels that the problem should not be serious.

Then, if the film wins an award or something, it will go back to China to take advantage of the popularity and release it. If it doesn’t win an award, it will rush to March and April. Taking advantage of the low season of the market, it will start with a small-scale release in theaters. To get word of mouth, maybe you can use it to participate in the domestic Yangcheng Film Festival or something. Anyway, literary films must follow the way of winning awards in the film industry-although Li Qian's original intention of making "Red Sorghum" is really not In order to win an award, it is just to exercise my ability and accumulate experience for more subsequent films, but since the film has already been filmed, the investment is not much, but it is more than 10 million. Lu Zi went to sell it for money!

Then, in about three to four months, the trip to the film festival of "Red Sorghum" should come to an end, and Li Qian will have two or three months to cut out "Once Upon a Time", and strive to arrange the schedule in September. October—well, another traditionally low season!

As a top star in the domestic entertainment industry, Li Qian has his own box office bonus when he makes movies. What's more, "My Sassy Girlfriend" not only verified this point, but also paved the way for his career as a director. Boss, but a movie is a movie!

Li Qian never dared to hope that relying on the name "Li Qian" and taking out a good thing from his mind and copying it, he could sell it for money!

Whether it's the audience or the fans, they are not fools, and they are not so easy to fool!

You may be fooled once, but no one will take care of you the second time!

Therefore, whether "My Sassy Girl" is considering a Spring Festival file, "Red Sorghum" is going to participate in a film festival, or "Once Upon a Time" is initially considering an autumn file, the purpose is the same, that is, to establish My own status in the film industry, as a director, and as a storyteller.

Try to get more people to buy tickets because "Li Qian is good at making movies" instead of "I like Li Qian very much". very big.

But now, obviously, plans had to change.

The World Cup is just around the corner, and Li Qian is running out of time.

Therefore, he decided to make "Once Upon a Time" first and release it in the first half of next year. After the World Cup is completely over, he will slowly work on "Red Sorghum" and save it for February 2003 to sign up for that year. the Berlin Film Festival.

Because... Although Li Qian decided in his heart that the box office of "Huang Feihong" is estimated to be much higher than that of "Red Sorghum", it may even become the most important film series of Minghu Culture in the next few years, helping Li Qian launch a new director, and It is also possible to launch a martial arts team belonging to Minghu Culture, and a martial arts superstar who will continue to be pushed out in the future, but in Li Qian's heart, "Red Sorghum" is much more important than "Huang Feihong"!

Because "Once Upon a Time" is just a commercial film with a limited market and can only be sold in East Asia and Southeast Asia. An extremely important foreshadowing, and an extremely important exercise.

Of course, after returning to Shuntian Mansion, after resting for a few days, although he brought Feng Bicheng to start filming and preliminary screening of materials, there are still some things that Li Qian must do, such as filming in Huairou Film and Television City "Young Bao Qingtian" needs him to visit the class and cheer up, after all, he is the boss!

For another example, Jin Han has already finished "Full House", and his ambitious new movie "Peacock" is about to start preparations. Jin Han would not be very happy if he quit!

In the past few years, he seems to have gradually understood, or at least gradually learned, how to find the delicate balance between art and business!

To put it bluntly, although Qin Wei and Du Weiyun are masters and are award-winning professionals, they don’t lose money when their works are shot. Although they are not comparable to pure commercial films, they can make money, and Zhao Meicheng’s style is secular enough , Enough business, right? Li Qian's "My Sassy Girl", Wu Han's "Across the World", are they purely commercial, right? But you can't say that these two films have no art, can you?

Therefore, art films can also make money, and commercial films may not be artistic!

In the end, it depends on whether you, as a director, can strike a good balance between the two!

There can be tilts, even pronounced tilts, but no weightlessness!

As the film and television director of Minghu Culture, and the only person in the company other than Li Qian who is qualified to direct films, Li Qian has always been very optimistic about Jin Han's future.

Therefore, he is very willing to help Jin Han when he needs it, even if it is just to discuss something with him, as long as he can help him mature quickly, it will be worth it!

Then, just like that, before I knew it, October passed.

Zhao Sicun didn't urge him anymore, he didn't even make two phone calls, but Li Qian knew that he had to start working on it—the theme song of the World Cup, it can't be too late!

After all, no matter how good a song is, it takes a certain amount of time to spread and ferment!

However, without Yu Bojun, what are the Four Great Beauties?

In the end, Li Qian had no choice but to do it himself, and although Cao Zhan, Wang Huaiyu, and Liao Liao all participated, they were all in the form of helping out—without Yu Bojun, they were also working hard to help Li Qian. Do, but don't bother to reboot the name "Four Great Beauties".

However, when the demo of the first song of the album came out, Yu Bojun wanted to listen to it immediately.

That night, he called and said, "I'll be there tomorrow!"
