Having successfully secured the scientific advisor, Li He was in a very good mood.When the time comes, you can also focus on this point when the film is promoted on the spot, in order to show the professionalism of your film, in fact, how the film is shot is not up to you!"
Source Code" continued to release the third trailer, which whetted the appetite of fans, and everyone has been looking forward to this movie for a long time.Penguin Pictures and Light Pictures arranged several more test screenings, which received a good response, and both theater representatives, film critics, and media representatives praised "Source Code".Film critics and media people may have received red envelopes to say good things about "Source Code", but the praise of the theater with the table is very important, because it is related to the final schedule of the film.The box office of "A Dog's Mission" has risen steadily, and the box office has reached 231 million within ten days of release, and many media have predicted that the film will eventually break 500 million.Tang Qianqian became a director for the first time in her career, and she has achieved many achievements that directors can't even imagine, but Tang Qianqian said that she is no longer interested in directing a movie, she still likes to be the little woman behind Li He.Li He didn't force it, after all, the director's job was too stressful, and it was good that Tang Qianqian was inappropriate.It's just that there are some films that are not suitable for filming, and now they seem to be abandoned.As for filming for other directors?
Li He felt angry when he thought about it, in order to avoid being angry to death at that time, forget it!
Just as "A Dog's Mission" was a hit, "Source Code" was overwhelmingly promoted, and Li He was busy preparing for the Mars survival project, Jack Wells, the head of Warner Pictures Asia, came to the door."
What's the matter with me?"
When Li He entered the conference room, he saw Cheng Zhiwen and Jack Wells chatting very energetically."
Xiao He is here, sit ...... here" Cheng Zhiwen motioned for Li He to sit down next to him, and the assistant went out after serving tea."
That's right, Mr.
Li He, we at Warner Pictures have just taken over a very interesting project, and we want to know if you are interested in directing it."
Americans have always been straight and don't like to go around the bend."
Oh!
Can you know what the project is?
”Li He was amazed that it is rare for Hollywood to find a Chinese film director to direct a Hollywood blockbuster."
The project is still in the confidential stage, originally we wanted to find a director who understands Chinese culture to do this project, and initially looked for Lin Lin, the director of "Fast and Furious", but he was busy preparing for "Fast and Furious" and had no schedule."
Jack Wells said."
So you found me?"
Jack Wells nodded and didn't speak, while Cheng Zhiwen next to him answered: "How is it?"
I think it's good, you can think about it. ”Li He shook his head and said: "The opportunity is good, but I still have two plans for films this year, and I'm afraid there is no schedule." ”What I didn't say was that since Jack Wells mentioned Chinese culture, it must be a Sino-American co-production.Needless to say, what the hell can be made in such a film, after all, the example of "The King of Kung Fu" is there.There is also the Monkey King, a Sino-American co-production that Teacher Six has been promoting, and by Cyberpunk 2077, there is a trace of beauty.Wait, the Sino-US co-production won't be that, right?
Li He thought about it, and then asked: "I guess you should be filming a story about the Great Wall!"
”Jack Wells's eyes widened, he only found out the specific content yesterday, how did Li He know?
Li He knew that he was right when he saw Jack Wells's expression, and said with a slight smile: "I'll recommend a suitable director to you." ”"Who is it?""
Zhang Guoshi, the director of "Hero", he is absolutely suitable.""
I'll report to headquarters, thank you."
Jack Wells nodded, he had heard the name of the national teacher.Don't look at Li He's two films that have achieved good results in the world, but in terms of influence in the international film industry, Li He can't catch up with the national teacher.Jack Wells said goodbye and left, Li He and Cheng Zhiwen continued to discuss things, and they had to meet with the people of Light Pictures in a few days."
Such a good opportunity was given to the national teacher?"
Cheng Zhiwen felt a pity, after all, the national teacher and Penguin Pictures did not have a cooperative relationship.Li He nodded and said: "This kind of Sino-US co-production is also my loss if it is filmed, so it is better not to shoot it." ”Cheng Zhiwen said helplessly: "Okay, I won't force it, has the name of your new project been decided?"
”Li He took out a plan, handed it to Cheng Zhiwen, and then said: "I have a plan, or a plan, this time we are filming a space adventure theme, and I plan to make a space epic trilogy." ”Cheng Zhiwen carefully checked the plan and asked, "It means that you are going to shoot three parts in a row and do a trilogy?"
”"Yes, it's not ......"
"Oh?
Let's hear it. ”Li He thought for a while and explained: "I have generally finished the script, and these trilogies are actually not too related, but they all belong to space themes, so I put them together and made a gimmick." ”"The plan is good, the first part is "The Martian", but what about the other two?""
Keep it secret, I'll ......talk about it next year" "Okay, I'll wait for your good news, in addition, the 350 million investment you asked for has been approved, this time it is estimated that it is the largest one you have played, and it is also one of the largest investments in the Chinese film industry."
Cheng Zhiwen said."
I know that maybe it will get bigger and bigger in the future, and now it's going to be a little bit of a fight."
Li He doesn't care, after all, he has experienced the traffic era, and 350 million may not be enough for the salary of two traffic stars!
After all, people have a cool salary for a film, and it is 2.08 million a day.However, this kind of thing will not happen here in Li He, and the traffic star is not the result of capital operation.And he himself has a very heavy voice in the body, which capital can stab in front of him, whoever stabs will be out, this is where Li He's confidence lies.Cheng Zhiwen only reminded Li He not to mess up, it's not a big problem to mess up a movie of 10 million or 20 million, people make mistakes, and horses stumble.But if the investment of three or four billion yuan is messed up, Li He may not be able to turn over for several years."
Do you have any choices for the male lead?"
Cheng Zhiwen asked.Li He has never looked at the eyes of the investor when he chooses the leading role, the last time "Source Code" was casting, Light Pictures recommended several actors, except for a fat man, the others were brushed off by Li He because the audition did not meet the requirements, it is said that Wang Changtian's face is a little unbearable."
I contacted Hu Ge a year ago, he is filming a costume drama, and he will come over when it is over.""
He was very interested in the story of going to Mars to grow potatoes," Li He said. ”"That's good, hahaha......"
Cheng Zhiwen smiled, after all, he had read part of the script and knew how that potato was grown."
By the way, Senior Brother Cheng, I heard that my sister-in-law is very obsessed with disco music in the seventies and eighties, and has a lot of records, can you borrow it from me to make movies?"
Li He asked."
No problem, she'll be happy to ......"
Cheng Zhiwen nodded.
