If there is any dog movie that touched Li He, in addition to "The Story of the Loyal Dog Hachiko", the "A Dog's Mission", which won a box office of 692 million in the mainland in his previous life, tells the story of the dog's four lives and four lives guarding the master.When Li He watched it in the cinema, his tears couldn't stop falling, but fortunately, everyone shed tears in the cinema at that time, and no one was embarrassed to laugh at anyone.Thinking of the good performance of this movie, Li He said to Tang Qianqian: "I know what kind of movie you should make, a dog movie .....""
Dog movies?
What kind of dog movie?
”Tang Qianqian asked."
How about a very touching story, just have Bailey as the protagonist?"
Li He is very excited to turn his dog into a big star.It feels very funny."
Okay, yes, but what kind of story is it about?"
Tang Qianqian said with great interest.Li He recalled: "The life of a dog is very short, only a dozen years, you say that the dog has been dead and reincarnated but retains the previous memory, what will it do." ”"You're a bit fantastical, but I think if there is such a thing, I think that dog will still look for its owner in his previous life!"
Tang Qianqian pondered."
Bingo, that's it, my assumption is this, after Bailey went through a complete dog life, he found that he was reincarnated with the memories of his previous life, he was a stray dog, he was a police dog, and finally returned to his owner after four lives and four lives."
Li He talked about it roughly."
Sounds good, when will the script be written?
I can't wait" Tang Qianqian thought this story was very interesting, and clapped her hands excitedly.Li He kicked Bailey out again, and just now it knocked over Li He's tea.Turned his head and said: "Don't worry, give the script outline to the editorial review department, let Xiuxiu and them complete the script, and call Senior Brother Cheng to see if Penguin Pictures is interested." ”"Uh-huh, yes, yes."
Tang Qianqian nodded, she had already imagined that she would win the Best Director trophy one step earlier than Li He through this movie, and that scene must be very exciting.Tang Qianqian was so decided to be the director, for this movie, Li He sent the pillar of the photography team, his good friend Du Chongyi, to Tang Qianqian, and also selected some experienced crew members, and the right-hand man assistant assistant Hu was also assigned to Tang Qianqian, and the well-funded studio independently invested 8 million yuan to make a movie for Tang Qianqian.After Cheng Zhiwen learned about this, he specially called Li He: "I said Xiaohe, you are too unauthentic, and you don't call us penguins if you have a new project." ”"Where, this isn't Sissi's first time making a movie!
I'm afraid of dragging you down, good intentions. ”Li He said.Originally, he planned to contact Cheng Zhiwen, but after thinking about it, if he took the initiative to call as if he was begging someone, in case there was any excessive request, Li He would not be able to refuse, so it was better to let Cheng Zhiwen take the initiative to call him.This is not a question of whether the personal relationship is good or not, especially in front of a professional manager like Cheng Zhiwen in the entertainment industry, business interests are always the most important."
If I hadn't usually followed your Weibo, I wouldn't have known about your big thing, you kid is too inauthentic."
Cheng Zhiwen pretended to be angry."
Don't dare, hehe......"
Li He didn't debunk it, and cooperated with Cheng Zhiwen's performance.Cheng Zhiwen drew out the ultimate goal: "That's it!
DreamWorks Studios can be a bit struggling to work on two projects at the same time, and we at Penguin Pictures can be involved from production to distribution. ”"Yes, you can, but you know, I can't make a decision on this kind of business thing alone, and you have to talk to the studio."
Li He said.This old fox is so greedy, Li He said in his heart.Aren't you the owner of the studio?
There's something you can't decide, what a little fox.Cheng Zhiwen vomited in his heart.But he said with a smile: "Okay, okay, we Penguin will talk to you about the two projects, and I hope to have a good result." ”Haven't all the "source code" been negotiated, what else is there to talk about?
Li He was a little puzzled.Li He didn't understand that in the latest meeting between Penguin Pictures and Warner Pictures, Warner Pictures' representative Jack Wells proposed the intention to invest in "Source Code", which really shocked Cheng Zhiwen, so he planned to discuss it with DreamWorks and Light Pictures. ........................The atmosphere in the conference room was warm, everyone was discussing fiercely, Li He and Tang Qianqian sat at the end as always, and Li He was bored playing "Werewolf Killing".This game was originally proposed by Li He to link with "Seven Deadly Sins", but "Seven Deadly Sins" has already been drawn, and this game is long overdue, but it is still quite addictive."
Director Li He, what is your opinion?"
Suddenly, someone Q to Li He.Li He came back to his senses and watched everyone look at him in unison, with a sense of déjà vu of being caught in a fish."
What did you say?"
Li He touched the fish just now, and he didn't know what they were talking about."
Warner Pictures wants to invest, I don't know what you think?"
An executive asked.Although his attitude was very polite, Li He still felt that the other party was unhappy with his fishing.If it's not cool, it's not cool!
What can you do with me?
Li He thought.But he said: "I think this matter is not only up to us, but also to Warner's meaning." ”"You mean ............""
Hollywood has always had a strict censorship system, especially an established production company like Warner Pictures, which will not decide on a project as soon as our heads are hot, and "Source Code" will be killed if it can't pass the review of Warner Pictures."
Li He said, and most of the people present nodded.Seeing this, Cheng Zhiwen concluded: "What Director Li He said makes sense, let's wait for the results of Warner Pictures!"
”With Cheng Zhiwen's final decision, this topic has been skipped."
Okay, as soon as I finished speaking, everyone in the conference room began to talk about it, what do you mean, is Director Li He planning to open it twice, is it so good?"
Ahem, it's not mine!
Don't get me wrong. ”Li He saw that everyone was staring at him, and quickly explained: "It's Tang Qianqian producer, she is my producer, and she is also one of the partners of DreamWorks." ”"May I ask Director Li He, can you know what type of project it is?"
An executive asked."
The specific DreamWorks official Weibo has been released."
Li He said, seeing that everyone turned on their mobile phones to read Weibo, and continued: "This is a very fantasy story, I am the screenwriter and the producer of this film. ”The people of Light Pictures next to him were a little confused, Wang Changtian did not come to the meeting today, and the one who participated in the meeting was an executive vice president of Light, who heard that there was a new project of DreamWorks, and hurriedly called Wang Changtian secretly, Wang Changtian instructed: "Regardless of whether Penguin Pictures invests or not, we Light Pictures must follow suit." ”The vice president was instructed, and shouted before others could react: "We Light Pictures participated in the investment ........"
Cheng Zhiwen was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly shouted: "Our Penguin invested 5 million ..........." "............"
Li He and Tang Qianqian were relatively speechless, what is the situation?
In the end, under the friendly negotiation between Penguin and Guangguang, the original investment of 8 million yuan in the project was forced to 15 million, which was higher than the original investment of Li He's film.
