Chapter 1016 "A Chinese Ghost Story"

PS1: In yesterday's chapter, "Crazy Stone" was written as "Crazy Racing", which has been corrected.

PS2: I actually named the actor Steven Berg. I am also bald. It is too easy to be mistaken for the great director. Now I am correcting the name of the character to Daniel Jackman. The previous text has been corrected.

***

At the end of October, when Liu Yan's personal studio was officially listed and announced the investment, and the news that Liu Yan would participate in "The Great Wall" as the heroine caused quite a stir in the domestic entertainment circle, he had already returned to In Shuntian Mansion, Jin Han, who has been resting all the time and wandered around for a month, suddenly ran back to the company, and called Qin Nuo unprecedentedly, asking to meet Li Qian at a time.

When he came to see Li Qian before, he never made an appointment.

Come when you want to, and leave when you're done talking.

It's still the same sentence, people's status is special, unusually special.

During the "Legend of the New White Snake", I helped Li Qian set up a team. The two of them had the kind of friendship that slapped each other on the table and yelled at each other. The early album MVs of Liao Liao, He Runqing, Zhou Mo and Rose Power were all shot by others. In countless film and television works, the heroines are Wang Jinglu, Cheng Suping and Xie Bing.

This qualification is only one short of Qi Jie, and he has fully mastered the skills of "filming for the harem group".

But this time, for the first time ever, he took the initiative to call and made an appointment to meet.

You know, at this time, he is not even the same as before.

The huge sales of "Dragon Inn" and the super high reputation have made him a top-tier director in one fell swoop, which has fully proved his super director skills.

And in terms of box office alone, he is already second only to Li Qian.

In contrast, Zhao He relied on making sequels and was not able to truly demonstrate his own abilities. Feng Bicheng was a purely commercial comedy with limited force.

As for him, Jin Han, he has the ability, compulsion, and reputation.

It just so happened that Li Qian was reading scripts and writing things recently, so he was relatively free. Qin Nuo answered the phone and made an appointment with him right away—afterwards, Jin Han wobbled down from the ninth floor.

Sitting on the big sofa in Li Qian's office, Erlang raised his legs and didn't see anything. He opened Li Qian's cigar cabinet and took out a cigar to light it. Then he asked Qin Nuo, "You assistant, You can't just help the boss, the guests are here, so why don't you help me too?" Li Qian and Qin Nuo couldn't laugh or cry.

Therefore, one of the two famous beautiful assistants of Minghu Culture personally made him tea, and then turned on the specially installed ventilation equipment in the office, which made him even happier.

After finishing the section in his hand, Li Qian came over and sat down. Seeing his complacent look, he smiled and asked him, "Have you had enough rest?"

Jin Han puffed out a cigarette, squinted his eyes, and said, "I can still rest, but I feel embarrassed."

Li Qian smiled and shook his head.

Thinking about Han Shunzhang, the manager of the film and television department, who was busy talking all day, but actually shared a lot of work that belonged to him as the film and television director, so he should really be embarrassed.

But there was no embarrassment in his tone.

So Li Qian said: "Since you feel embarrassed, then you should watch more. Old Han has so many things throughout the year, and he is watching how many things, and you share the labor."

Unexpectedly, he actually nodded happily, "Success!"

This is strange.

But suddenly, he looked at Li Qian and asked, "Just let her go like this? Just dislike Lao Qin's next movie?"

Li Qian turned to look at him in surprise, and laughed, "Who told you that I don't like Lao Qin's lower movies anymore?"

Jin Han waved his hand, "I don't know you yet!"

Li Qian was surprised and asked: "What do you know? Tell me?"

Jin Han got excited, "You and I know how good Liu Yan is, and at her level, I believe you know even more about what she is thinking. As long as you want to keep her, you can just say a word. No matter! No matter how loud Lao Qin's signboard is, it can't compare to your promise. But I heard that you didn't even stay, just let go!"

Li Qian suddenly heard something else.

He smiled, "Everyone has their own pursuits. I can say a word, keep Liu Yan, and then you, others, and when the show starts, I can also give her a movie heroine. She The popularity and appeal are still there. Although the proportion of small screen audiences converted into big screen box office has not been too high, the appeal of well-known and famous Huadans is still much stronger than that of ordinary newcomers."

"However, even if I keep her for a few more years, what's the point? She obviously wants to be independent. Like Hu Fei, let her directly leave an opening and let her participate in the investment of a movie. For an actor Either way, or as a director, it’s basically the highest salary, right?”

"Bringing money into the group will allow us to maximize the benefits brought by the film in the future. This is equivalent to changing from the original wage earner to one of the bosses who work for themselves! That attraction is another condition It's simply incomparable. But, you know, that's a condition I can't give. So, why stop him, just go if you want!"

Jin Han blinked and nodded slowly.

At this time, Li Qian suddenly asked again: "What's the matter? Recently, you've gone out to eat a lot, haven't you? Did someone tell you that your heart was moved? Hu Fei? Zhou Yanghua? Or Yuan Ke? Or, something else who?"

Jin Han froze for a moment, waved his hands, and said carelessly, "Stop doing this to me! Are you trying to test me?"

After finishing speaking, he puffed on his cigar, looked disdainful, and said: "First, I am not as ambitious or greedy as Liu Yan. Second, I am already a shareholder of Minghu. Third, I am not as ambitious as Liu Yan. She's such a fool!"

Speaking of this, I don't know if he is true or not, so I heard him say: "A group of people are so awesome! Their chests are slapping loudly, and they always say that they want to invest 100 million US dollars in me. What do they say? I have a director's salary of 10 million, and some people say that I will go to a studio! Fuck it all! How about coaxing the children? I am doing well in Minghu, director of film and television, the scale of Minghu film and television department is getting bigger and bigger The bigger you are, the better you are than me, you are the only one, I'm an idiot, I'll quit! Cut!"

Li Qian knows that Lao Jin is a bit rough on the outside and thin on the inside, and he is usually good at pretending to be careless.

But this time, he believed that what he said was the truth.

It's not because of friendship, friendship, etc., or even what he said - there may be all these reasons, there must be friendship, there must be friendship, he looks better at the current status in Minghu culture , There are also some who are optimistic about the future development of Minghu culture. But these are not the most critical.

Most importantly, Jin Han is a smart man.

I remember the last time we watched Qin Wei's "The Gate of Life and Death" together. After finishing watching, everyone poured a little wine and chatted together. He said at that time, "When it comes to playing with pictures, cameras, and colors, Lao Qin still Awesome!"

Later, he didn't know what he thought of, and said with emotion: "It's a pity! The director is a good director, and the actor is a good actor, but there is just a lack of a good story!"

It can be heard that he is not talking in general, not simply sighing, he is deeply touched.

He made his own movies.

Needless to say, before entering Minghu culture, I made several films, including feature films and experimental short films, but almost none of them were released. Later, he joined Minghu Culture, and at the cost of being in charge of filming "Meteor Garden", he got investment from Li Qian, filmed "On the Road" that he wanted to film, and invited Wang Jinglu to be the heroine—but he rushed, rushed miserable.

The box office is not good, the word of mouth is not good, and the awards are not good.

Later, he fell in love with the novel "Peacock" bought by Li Qian, and felt that it was in line with his thinking, and he felt that he would definitely be able to shoot it very well. So after the filming of "Full House", he once again got a particularly happy investment from Li Qian, and brought together a group of screenwriters to start writing the book, and then, start the whole process.

With progress, Cannes also won the Best Actress and won Zhao Yingying, which can be regarded as the last stop for domestic actresses after screening in the three major European film festivals.

Ming Xiaojing won the best actress in Venice, Qin Jingjing won the best actress in Berlin, and Zhao Yingying won the best actress in Cannes.

But back in China, the box office rushed to see no shadow.

Lost again.

Coincidentally, right after "Once Upon a Time" hit the street and "Peacock" hit the street, a bunch of great directors hit the street one after another. After that, Jin Han seemed to understand something.

Don't struggle, just play well within the scope of your ability, if you are outside the scope of your ability, just hug your thick legs!

So this time, he asked Li Qian directly for the script.

Then, "Dragon Inn" became popular!

Perhaps after becoming popular, Jin Han had other ideas. In front of Li Qian, he did not deny that many companies had courted him, and offered very high conditions one after another.

But in the end, he returned to the company, sat in Li Qian's office, lit a cigar, poured a pot of tea, and said to Li Qian, "Those bastards wanted to pull me to quit, but I didn't go!"

Even if there is an example like Liu Yan right in front of your eyes-the outside world says that if you have proven yourself in Minghu Culture, as long as you change jobs, you will be promoted to a higher level immediately! ——He still feels that Minghu culture is better and more suitable for him.

that's enough.

Hearing what he said, Li Qian felt very relieved.

He is not a moral saint, and he has never demanded the highest moral standards from others—we are brothers, we are friends, after so many years, I have supported you so much, and you actually considered betraying me?

If you think so, it's nonsense.

People are not sages, and friendship is by no means omnipotent.

Faced with an obviously better choice, betrayal and departure in this world are happening almost every moment—not to mention just hesitating in my heart.

Jin Han can figure it out, regardless of the reason, it is enough.

So Li Qian smiled and said, "It's good if you understand! One person has one's own thoughts, and Liu Yan has her own pursuit, so let her pursue it. Whether she succeeds or fails is her own choice, and she can't blame anyone. .As for you, if you decide not to change jobs, don't rest in your employment, come back first, and help Lao Han keep an eye on the film and television department. Then, start thinking about your new movie!"

Jin Han's eyes lit up when he heard the words, he sat up straight and said, "Why don't you publish the book for the new movie?"

Li Qian nodded, "No problem! What do you want to shoot? Which aspect?"

Jin Han said: "I originally thought about making your "Swordsman", but after thinking about it, I think it would be good to let Lao Han and the others go through the TV series first. So, I am going to learn from your fox and ghosts. Pick one of the short stories and shoot it, what do you think?"

Speaking of this, he hesitated for a moment before saying: "For example, I think "Nie Xiaoqian" is good?"

Li Qian smiled, and then said: "You wait."

A minute later, seeing him come back with the script, Jin Han grinned and complained, "I really want to pry into your office! Open your safe! I don't want anything else, I just want to I know how many scripts you have saved now! You are... you are too bad!"

Li Qian smiled and threw the script over, "Don't talk nonsense, just read it!"

Jin Han picked up the script and opened it. When he saw the words "A Chinese Ghost Story", his eyes lit up immediately.

Then he couldn't wait to open the outline of the plot. After reading it, he immediately relaxed, smoking a cigar and flipping through the detailed script behind it with a look of "conscientiousness".

It took half an hour, after reading it and smoking the cigar, he flicked the script in his hand, "That's it!"

Li Qian asked: "Do you have any suggestions for revision?"

Jin Han waved his hand, "The outline of the story is fine, and the character design is fine. Maybe I will temporarily modify the lines or something when filming, or change the plots and scenes, but overall, this book is fine. Top-notch! "

Speaking of this, he smiled "hehe" and said, "That's right, the leading actor here... You seem to like acting quite a lot recently? Do you want to..."

Li Qian quickly waved his hand, "Don't get me wrong! You know that I'm about to start preparations for a new play, and Mrs. Lu, I was really tortured by her so I couldn't help it! "

Jin Han nodded slowly, "Tsk tsk" repeatedly, "It's grinding!"

Then, he shook his head, "Women still have the advantage!"

This car was caught off guard!

But Jin Han is like this, anyone dares to make jokes, and he is very direct. In the past, Xie Bing, Liao Liao, Zhou Mo, and Wang Jinglu, no matter who they were or how many people they were in front of, they all drove directly! During the filming of "On the Road", Li Qian went to visit the set, and this guy yelled at Li Qian in front of the whole crew, "You two, don't make it too late at night!" Wang Jinglu blushed on the spot and wanted to find a crack in the ground .

Driving at this level is child's play for him.

Li Qian didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and was afraid that the more he explained, the less he could explain, so he simply changed the subject and said, "Don't worry about my schedule, I'll recommend someone to you!"

Jin Han laughed "hehe" twice, and before Li Qian could speak, he said, "Zhu Qiang?"

Li Qian laughed out loud.

Then nodded, "Zhu Qiang!"
