Chapter 89 Simple

When reaching Qin Wei's level, once the new film is about to start, Huafei Film and Television will inevitably quickly mobilize all resources for his use. This is the treatment that the great director deserves.

With the size of Huafei Film and Television, although with the strong rise of Minghu Culture in film, they and three old-fashioned companies such as Oriental Media Group and Jinghua Film are no longer so strong and eye-catching, in the Chinese film industry, there is only one Minghu Culture after all. Apart from Minghu Culture, the three major companies still firmly occupy the top dominant position in the industry.

Therefore, shortly after the preparations for the movie "The Great Wall" started, although the news and media circles had not yet obtained first-hand news and information, a lot of news about the preparations for the film were still circulated, at least at the upper level of the film circle, it is no longer a secret.

It is not easy for a film director to become famous, but after becoming famous, it is not easy for everyone to lose confidence in him and even to be too lazy to pay attention to it.

Once a celebrity becomes a celebrity, as long as you are still active in this circle, you will be famous for many years, or even for a lifetime.

Even in Hollywood, where the commercialization level is extremely high, a great director who has succeeded and proved his ability will have at least three chances of failure, not to mention in China, not to mention the "pride of the country" and "master" directors of Qin Wei's level!

Therefore, news about the movie "Great Wall" "planned to invest 100 million US dollars", "inviting Hollywood's top special effects team to create", "will invite Hollywood's first-line superstars to join" and other news soon reached Li Qian's ears and Qi Jie personally came over to say it.

Qin Wei's movies, crew cast must be dominated by his old team, and it's not necessary to say that. Although it's still unknown what he wants to shoot, whether it's a historical hero film, a historical biopic, or a new story to be extended with the concept of the Great Wall, it's still unknown, but with such a large investment scale and the positioning of Hollywood superstars at this level of actors, all show Qin Wei and Hu Fei's attempt to "rush out of Asia and go to the world."

This is normal, and it is abnormal.

It is normal because the success of "The Matrix" has brought to the Chinese film industry, which is not too much to estimate. The first-line directors will make some stressful, slightly impulsive reactions and longings after being stimulated. It is really normal that Zhou Baoshan will want to earn US dollars in film pay, and Qin Wei will of course want to earn US dollars in box office. After all, even in this time and space, Hollywood's status in global films is not worse than that in the time and space that Li Qian once passed by, and its attraction to outstanding filmmakers and outstanding actors around the world is not weak at all.

The abnormality is because... In Li Qian's opinion, Qin Wei has not done well in making good movies with pure commercial orientation aside from fame, gimmicks and publicity, and has not done well in how to make money from domestic movie fans very quickly. Now he is so impatient to earn money from American audiences. He is really too impatient.

But this is the matter between Hu Fei and Qin Wei. No matter how unwilling Li Qian is to watch Chinese filmmakers do such moths to the flames, he has no ability or even no position to dissuade him.

What's more, he and Qin Wei are recognized as never to interact with each other. In the past six months, Hu Fei's small actions in the audience have also made Li Qian very unhappy. After their relationship has just eased a little, they are becoming more frozen again.

However, such a confusing movie and such high-standard configuration will indeed have a very strong attraction to the vast majority of domestic actors. In addition, Hu Fei's unremitting efforts over the past six months, something happened to Minghu Culture in the end.

Qi Jie came over to chat. The day after talking about some gossip news about "The Great Wall", Zou Wenhuai ran over and looked furious and told Li Qian that Liu Yan had officially stated that he would not renew his contract.

This is really a reasonable and unexpected change.

Liu Yan is the first TV star to be promoted by Minghu Culture. Over the years, from Xiaoyanzi in the "Return of the Pearl Princess" trilogy to "Deep Love in the Rain", Minghu Culture has created five TV series for her in the past five years, basically at least one of them is a hit every year, and she certainly benefits a lot. Now on the small screen of domestic TV series, she is definitely one of the most popular stars.

In the past two years, she has formed a certain degree of tacit understanding with the company, that is, she takes on a big show every year to gain fame, and then goes out to take on other shows and make a lot of money at other times.

This is very good.

No matter how powerful Minghu culture is, it is impossible to spread its product line too wide, and it is even more impossible to throw all four to six TV series produced every year to one person. So, like Liu Yan, it is a good way to continue to become famous in the company's plays and then run out to take on other plays to make money.

When she was filming "The Princess of the Pearl", she was still a college student. Minghu Culture wanted to film and promote her. Of course, she was very willing to sign the agency contract. Later, she became popular and asked to modify the contract. Minghu Culture also gave her face. Everyone signed a new contract. In the contract, the various treatments given to her were greatly improved, and the company's commission ratio was greatly reduced, giving her basically all the treatments that a big star should have.

However, the second contract was only signed for four years. Since this spring, the brokerage department has been contacting the other party to fight for a renewal, but it has never settled a new contract. Anyway, the attitude there is to talk slowly. We are not in a hurry and have to put all the conditions high, which is far beyond the bottom line that Minghu Culture can bear.

After a while, the contract renewal was still not completed. Zou Wenhuai was always very annoyed and said this twice during the meeting, but Liu Yan always used the excuse of being busy and refused to come to the company. Even if Zou Wenhuai was angry, she would not be able to chase her home.

So, as the contract was about to expire next spring, Liu Yan finally showed up.

Her assistant came over to meet Zou Wenhuai and said: She didn't get the opportunity to make a movie here. Now even Zhao Qing has got the heroine of "Shaolin Temple". She is still arranged by the company to shoot various TV series. She is a little tired, so she wants to jump out and do it herself. But even if she goes out, she will still regard Minghu Culture as her old boss, and will never forget the kindness of Qian Ye's support over the years, and so on.

Whether it is a job change or the so-called no renewal of contracts, these are the first artist to take the initiative to leave Minghu Culture in eight years since the founding of Li Qian Studio, the predecessor of Minghu Culture, in 1996!

And he is a student who has never been famous in Minghu culture and has become a big star who has become popular and purple!

Zou Wenhuai was very angry.

The artists under his jurisdiction cannot control them and want to change jobs. Of course, this is the dereliction of duty of his artist director.

But Li Qian thought about it and asked her: "She will not renew her contract. Have you ever said where she is going?"

Zou Wenhuai said: "Where else can she go? She is most likely to build her own studio and be affiliated with Huafei Film and Television. It is said that the price is that she will get the heroine of the "Great Wall" that Qin Wei is preparing!"

Li Qian said "um" and said nothing, slowly savoring this matter in his heart.

This is really...too simple, right?

Qin Wei wanted to hurriedly go to the world before he even understood the domestic commercial film market. So far, Liu Yan has only taken over a movie with a box office that is not very good. He has not proved his ability on the big screen yet. He actually has to take on the heroine of a super-major production with a production fund of up to 100 million US dollars, that is, 200 million Chinese yuan?

Do you really think the movie is so fun?

Do you really think the box office in the United States is so easy to win?

This is more than just simplicity?

It's simply simple!

Seeing that Li Qian didn't say anything, Zou Wenhuai was still muttering, "In recent times, Hu Fei, Zong Chengze and others have been a bit too much. If only Liu Yan is alone, I wouldn't think so. We don't lack her as a young actress. Yiyi has also gotten up now. The ratings and appeal are no worse than her. I will give her a good movie in the future. Within three or five years, the domestic small screen will still dominate, but the problem is, I'm afraid that Liu Yan is just the beginning!"

Li Qian smiled and asked, "What do you think will be done?"

Zou Wenhuai was silent for a moment and said, "The ban cannot be blocked, but it is not impossible to teach them a lesson. Even if you kill a chicken to warn the monkey, you must take some action!"

Li Qian thought about it for a while, and then he suddenly picked up the phone and dialed a number. After a long time, the other side finally connected. He asked directly: "The male and female protagonists of "Autumn Fairy Tales" have decided on the matter between Qin Jingjing and me, have you not told me yet?"

There seemed to have not yet come back to his senses, and his voice was slightly dry and hoarse, "No? What's wrong? I ran to the United States after meeting you, but you didn't know."

"That's fine." Li Qian said.

He wanted to hang up the phone, but the Lu Lingxi said, "You woke me up in the middle of the night, just to ask this? Do you know that I am in the United States? Do you know that I have finally reversed the jet lag recently!"

Li Qian took the microphone away from his ears, and after he finished venting, he said again: "Stop sleeping, and you haven't left while you are sleepy! I'm dead! Go back to the United States to invite you to dinner and apologize to you."

He hummed twice on the other end of the phone, then said, "You ask Jingjing or Xiao Min, I'm not sure if they said it out." He asked again, "What's wrong? Is it impossible to ask this suddenly? Is there anything wrong with it if I say it in advance?"

Li Qian said: "Stop asking, I will tell you when I see you again. Now when I ask, you will definitely be sleepy. Go to bed!"

After pausing for a moment, he said "Okay", and hung up the phone.

Li Qian dialed the second number directly and asked directly: "The Fairy Tale of Autumn" chose you as the heroine. Have you revealed it to others?"

"Uh... probably only Xiao Min knows?"

"Have you told other friends?"

"I... I've been locking myself at home recently and thinking about scripts. And... I don't have many friends."

“…”

Hang up, dial the third call.

Zou Wenhuai was sitting on the sofa, watching him keep calling, a little stunned, and couldn't figure out what he was going to do.

The third call was answered, and Li Qian asked: "Did you tell me the story of Jingjing being the heroine of "Autumn Fairy Tales"?"

"No! I'm trying to find a way to encourage the young ladies here to knock on your door! Everyone knows that you especially like to praise your women, so just encourage them! I've told them some of your top secret information. I said you like to be passive, so that they can be implicit, take the initiative to make an appointment for dinner, take the initiative to ask for advice on how to act, and find excuses at will..."

“…”

Li Qian was speechless, what kind of sister-in-law is this!

The one who was still in Balabara said that Li Qian finally couldn't listen, "Stop! Are you interested and boring! Are you idle? Why are you teasing others?"

"I'm just idle! They all want to get on top, so I'll help you!"

“…”

"Especially your fairy-like niece, her assistant has been asking Jingjing's assistant recently. Humph, I don't know about her yet! My sister is not at home, so of course I have to give them some medicine!"

“…”

"But brother-in-law, I'm actually creating opportunities for you! Right? That little girl is really beautiful! Maybe I'll give you such a matchup and it will be really done? Then you won't tell my sister!"

…………

Finally hung up the phone. When he looked up, Li Qian caught a glimpse of Zou Wenhuai's mouth twitching.

He guessed that this fat man must have heard something.

But he had no intention of paying attention to him, adjusted his mood, and picked up the phone number for the fourth time.

The phone rang for more than twenty seconds before it finally started to be answered.

"Hey, Brother Qian."

"I'm leaving, right? I won't renew my contract?" The voice was particularly gentle and a little low. It was an indescribable voice of a man with magnetic magic.

"Well, mainly because I think, I want to..."

"It's okay. I just think that it's a success for everyone to get to know each other. If you're leaving, I have to call you, just treat it as a way to give you a ride."

There was a moment of silence over there, and suddenly there was a little crying voice, "Brother Qian... Thank you."

"Yeah." Li Qian said, "It's just a pity. I thought I could work with you next, but I haven't acted for a long time. Now it seems that I have no chance."

"Uh... Brother Qian, what do you... mean?"

"It's nothing. Well... then that's it! Next, keep the plate steady, play steadily, don't make a rash move, don't make a rash move. It's not easy for you to get to where you are today step by step."

"Uh... Brother Qian, you said just now..."

"Hi, it's all over, let's look for opportunities in the future! There are still opportunities in the future, right?"

"Uh...well, yes."

"Do it well, come on!"

"Thank you, Brother Qian." nt
