Chapter 569: Double Happiness for Wolf Warrior
Xie Nan’s questioning made Wu Jing reveal his desire to prepare a movie version of "I Am a Special Forces Soldier".
“Director Li rejected you directly?”
“Although I didn’t reject you directly, I still have the ability to observe people’s emotions. In fact, I don’t blame Director Li.”
< br>“I would have refused.”
"A young actor failed miserably in his first film."
"Now that I see the popularity of "Chinese Police", I slap my forehead and want to make a film with a military theme."
>"Maybe Director Li thinks I've taken him for granted." Wu Jing looked lonely.
"Is it much worse?" Xie Nan thought that if the difference was not much, she could help introduce some investors.
After all, in the past few years in Guangwang, she has also come into contact with many big figures in the industry.
Wu Jing smiled: "What, you want to lend me?"
Xie Nan also smiled: "If you appreciate my little savings, I will lend it to you."
Wu Jing couldn't laugh anymore. He could tell that Xie Nan was not joking.
“Aren’t you afraid that I will lose your money?”
“I’m not afraid. My parents are soldiers. The most common saying I heard since I was a child is that money is always outside the body. When a friend allows you to lend it, don’t even think about returning it.”
Hearing that Xie Nan's parents were also soldiers, Wu Jing couldn't hold back his chatter.
Wang Zhonglei was also surrounded by many people, including Xu Ke and several of the main creators of "Flying Swords of Dragon Gate", except Li Lianjie.
If Li Chen is the number one private boss in the industry, then Wang Zhonglei is the number two.
Seeing the people around Li Chen, including Chenglong and Han Sanping, all smiling, Wang Zhonglei felt sour.
Every time he saw Li Chen, he remembered the 45% split of Rongchen Pictures.
In this aspect alone, Huayi, Huace, and Guangguang, the three domestically listed private companies, cannot even catch up.
He and his eldest brother Wang Zhongjun also discussed this issue, and the results were discouraging.
Unless Feng Xiaogang's film can have an overwhelming advantage over Rongchen Pictures at the box office.
Otherwise, Huayi would not have any confidence to increase its account sharing ratio against the eight major theater chains.
Or maybe the eight major theater chains are willing to make an earth-shattering one billion bet with Huayi.
The premise is that they, Hua Yi, can step on the shoulders of the goddess of luck like Li Chen and win a great victory.
"Don't think about it, Zhonglei." Wang Zhongjun patted his younger brother's shoulder as if he was playing a riddle, which made both Xu Ke and Chen Kun a little confused.
Tong Gang from the Film Bureau arrived belatedly, and the celebration party just kicked off.
The main creators came on stage, and Tong Gang and Han Sanping thanked everyone and the fans on behalf of the bureau and the producer respectively.
Han Sanping handed the envelope containing the box office figures to Tian Zhuangzhuang.
"Let Lao Tian personally read out to you the box office figures of "Chinese Police" so far." Han Sanping said to the stars and media in the audience with a smile.
Since the box office of "Chinese Police" exceeded 1 billion, it became the first domestic film to exceed 1 billion in box office.
China Film Group has never updated its box office status to the outside world.
So when Tian Zhuangzhuang read out the number 1.18 billion, he glanced at the smiling Han Sanping in disbelief.
The stars were in an uproar and talked about it. This was too scary.
"Didn't we just say it exceeded 1 billion last week?"
"Is this really going to drive "Avatar" out of Middle-earth?"
Cheng Long's smile on stage almost turned into an emoticon. .
As the only female star among the main creators, Tang Yan stood out in a black low-cut dress among a group of men.
Han Sanping smiled and raised the champagne in his hands and said loudly: "Dear guests, raise your champagne and red wine."
"Let us celebrate the box office of "Chinese Police" exceeding 1.1 billion."
The atmosphere at the scene reached a climax.
Cheng Long smiled and teased Andy Lau: "Hua Zai finally breathed a sigh of relief!"
Not to be outdone, Andy Lau immediately took over: "Why am I relieved? I'll just say it at the premiere. However, your box office record is not as high as mine.”
“Thanks to Director Tian and Li Chen, you are tied with me.”
"Hahaha" Chenglong laughed.
Everyone on and off the stage was happy.
When the media asked Li Chen whether the second part of "Chinese Police" still has the same cast.
Cheng Long first expressed his stance and said with a smile: "Let me state first, I really want to continue acting."
Li Chen glanced at Cheng Long and Liu Dehua and smiled: ""Chinese Police" is series, the joining of Big Brother and Brother Hua at least increased the box office of "Chinese Police" by more than 300 million."
"I'm already writing the next script, which is based on a real case. The specific details will not be announced until after the trial."
Wu Jing's eyes in the audience were full of envy, and he looked at Li Chen intently.
It happened that Li Chen's eyes also stopped on him.
Wu Jing saw Director Li on the stage smiling, and he changed his tone and said: "Actually, it's not just about police and gangsters."
"I have said before, Rongchen Pictures We will strongly support movies with theme themes.”
"Today, a friend came forward and asked me to invest in a movie with a military theme."
The media and guests at the scene looked around unconsciously, and they all privately discussed who Director Li was talking about. who.
Only Wu Jing’s nervous attention was focused on Director Li on the stage.
I wonder what Director Li means by suddenly mentioning this? Could it be
Xie Nan was also extremely nervous, fearing that his idol would be hit again.
"He told me that he has a dream to be a soldier, and he has been preparing for three years to realize his dream."
"Not only did he experience the military life for eighteen months, but he also passed all the assessment standards for soldiers. Passed the assessment.”
As soon as these words came out, many people who were familiar with Wu Jing thought of Wu Jing.
Han Sanping on the stage was complaining in his heart, this kid always thought of something.
But seeing Boss Tong smiling in the audience, obviously very satisfied with Li Chen's speech, Han Sanping couldn't help but laugh.
"I didn't give him a clear answer just now, and I will reiterate it in public today."
"Rongchen Pictures will insist on supporting new directors, supporting films with new themes, and supporting films with main themes."
< br>"As long as your story can impress me and my team, then I will also borrow the favorite brag of filmmakers: there is no limit on investment and no limit on cycle!"
Everyone laughed at the scene. , thunderous applause.
Everyone knows that Yoko from "White Snake" said this.
Wang Zhonglei, the boss of the producer of "Reviewing the Past 1942", also said this.
Everyone knows whether the former is bragging, but the latter should not be bragging.
But the man on stage certainly doesn’t brag.
Wang Zhonglei smiled awkwardly while holding champagne in the audience, and secretly scolded Li Chen for being shameless.
He doesn’t believe that theme themes can continue to make big money.
Whether it's Feng Xiaogang's "The Great Earthquake" or several theme films from Rong Chen Pictures, he and Li Chen actually know it.
First of all, it relies on the signatures of Li Chen and Feng Xiaogang, and secondly, the movie itself.
The ones that can really make a lot of money are like "Hand the Bow, Dad", which has the honor of being an archery champion's Olympic gold medal.
The success of "Chinese Police" was due to Li Chen's script, Cheng Long, Andy Lau, the lack of blockbuster films during the National Day schedule, and the support of many celebrities on Weibo.
Wu Jing's eyes were filled with excitement. He didn't expect that in such a turn of events, Director Li would mention him at this time.
While applauding, Liu Yifei quietly approached Xie Nan: "Be careful, Xiao Xie."
Xie Nan suddenly heard Liu Yifei's voice and was startled: "Ah! You scared me to death!"< br>
Liu Yan turned around and said with a smile, "You came to see it too, Yifei?"
Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at Xie Nan and smiled at Liu Yan: "As long as you are not blind, no one would know that she and Director Wu are having an affair." Nothing has been done, it’s just a few interactions on Weibo, it’s not as exaggerated as you said.”
"Hey, Director Li just said that, are you willing to vote for him?"
Liu Yan immediately gossiped: "Why vote?"
"Go aside, it's none of your business."
“Well, Nannan, you have It’s just a best friend, but it’s just a passerby, right?”
“Oh, I’m talking to Yifei about business, don’t interrupt!” Liu Yan suddenly realized: “I understand, that’s the friend that Director Li mentioned just now. Brother Jing?”
Seeing that Liu Yan had guessed it, Xie Nan did not argue and dragged Liu Yifei to ask the result.
"How do I know this? Didn't Li Chen say it? Let's see if the script can impress him."
"After the celebration banquet is over, you can come with Director Wu. You Maybe someone who is sharp-tongued can help Director Wu with a few words of praise," Liu Yifei said with a teasing look on her face.
Xie Nan was immediately defeated: "Forget it, I'm not you, so I can still speak with weight to Director Li."
Xie Nan is self-aware. Even his boss Wang Changtian has to give way to Director Li. As a host, she is nothing.
“Yo yo yo, are you trying to trick me into asking me to help?”
Xie Nan’s thoughts were exposed by Liu Yifei, so she stopped pretending and said with a smile: “Who doesn’t know? Director Li listens to you the most.”
“If you can help him, please help.”
“Why should I help Director Wu? I haven’t talked to him yet. I'm familiar with you two." Liu Yifei smiled.
Liu Yan stepped forward with a smile and said: "Yes, why should Yifei help Brother Jing, unless Brother Jing is who you are, don't you think so, Yifei?"
"Yes, if it's with you We are related, and for your sake, I will definitely help you if I can."
Xie Nan puffed out. Laughing: "I won't be fooled by you."
"In this matter of investment, as long as Director Li can read his script, it doesn't matter whether you can help or not."
"If he doesn't like it, I'm afraid Director Li won't spend tens of millions wasting it just because he has an affair."
Liu Yifei was also happy: "Hey, you know that person in my family quite well."
"I am not the only one who understands Director Li's character. Ask the men and women in this scene, who doesn't understand him?"
After the celebration banquet, Li Chen and Han Sanping sent Tong Gang into the car first.
Tong Gang laughed as he walked and patted Li Chen on the shoulder, as if he were one of his own: "Li Chen, the script for the second part of "Chinese Police" must be completed as soon as possible."
"Chinese Police" not only set a record at the box office, but also received a lot of praise from publicity and public security parties.
Tong Gang's face was very bright during the meeting at the General Administration.
"There is also the military-themed film you mentioned just now. If you decide to make it, everything will be easy. If you can't solve the problem, let Sanping help you."
Han Sanping said with a smile: " Director Tong, this guy has never been polite to me."
Li Chen just nodded without saying a word.
Tong Ganglin turned around before getting into the car and said: "Do your best and don't care about the outside world."
"I know, Bureau Tong." Li Chen said with a smile.
Watching Tong Gang's car drive away, Li Chencai and Han Sanping walked back: "Did you understand what Tong Jugang said?"
Li Chencai was very surprised. He shook his head honestly and pretended to be stupid.
The voices from the outside world are nothing more than the golden rooster that is about to open.
“A golden rooster without Rongchen Pictures is just a chicken” This is a saying that is going viral nowadays.
While pushing Li Chen to the forefront, he also demoted the Golden Rooster to be useless.
"Just pretend with me! I'm too lazy to tell you." Han Sanping snorted.
Wu Jing waited until the end and handed the script to Li Chen, who started reading it in the car.
Wu Jing sat aside and did not dare to disturb.
About an hour passed, and Wu Jing felt that seconds seemed like years.
It feels like being on trial in court, just waiting for the judge to announce the verdict.
“There is a problem with the main plot of the script!”
“Ah, what’s the problem, Director Li.” Wu Jing was nervous. As soon as he heard that there was a problem with the main plot, the script was basically scrapped.
Li Chen closed the script and understood in his heart.
No wonder "Wolf Warrior" has been revised fourteen times and was held up for review twice.
"There is definitely no problem in promoting patriotism, but just promoting patriotism is very similar to previous military-themed films."
Wu Jing said blankly: "Director Li, what do you mean?"
Li Chen smiled and said: "Patriotism and heroes There is no conflict between themes and commercial elements.” The same military-themed movie.”
"There are at least a dozen lines in it that need to be modified, otherwise the review will be a problem."
Wu Jing breathed a sigh of relief when he heard the word "modify", which at least meant that he was not Passed!
"Put the script to me first, and I will help you revise it."
"Director Li, you, will you help me revise it?"
"What, you don't believe me? ”
"No, no, no, I can't believe it!" Wu Jing was a little incoherent.
If the person in front of me changes his script, it will only be good for the movie if word spreads about it.
"What can't you believe? You should have taken this path long ago. Don't worry, I voted for this project."
Wu Jing made Li Chen dizzy with just a few words. Yes, I didn’t understand what it meant at all.
I only heard the words "I voted for this project".
Wu Jing was immediately overjoyed: "Director Li, you, you are not kidding me, are you?"
Li Chen laughed loudly: "I can basically tell at a glance whether a script can be cast or not."
"You are a big man, why are you coming to the company to sign a contract tomorrow?"
Wu Jing was filled with emotions. No wonder the old saying goes that when masters compete with each other, the results will be seen in an instant.
Also, Director Li is famous for his scripts, and there are as many as eight hundred filmmakers seeking investment from him.
If each script had to be read for seven or eight days, people would be extremely busy.
"Okay, okay! I'll be there on time tomorrow. Thank you, Director Li, thank you!" Wu Jing shook Li Chen's hand excitedly.
Li Chen smiled again: "Thank you for nothing, I also hope that this "Wolf Warrior" can be a big seller."
"Military themes really need a "Wolf Warrior" to open a new chapter "
After returning home and entering the bedroom, Liu Yifei held a book and read it with gusto.
Seeing her husband come in, she asked casually: "You voted?"
Li Chen nodded and went to bed: "You voted."
Miss Liu closed the book: "Do you really think he can do it?" ?”
Li Chen said amusedly: “Why do you care about this?”
“Of course I don’t care”
"It turns out you are worried about me. Don't worry, your husband's vision is not wrong."
"Perhaps Wu Jing will give me a surprise in the future, and also a surprise for Chinese movies."
< br>Ms. Liu shrugged and said no more, and voted.
Getting off Li Chen's car, the cold wind blew slowly, and Wu Jing felt more relaxed than ever before.
With Director Li’s endorsement, he became more confident.
Not far away, a familiar figure walked towards him.
Wu Jing felt proud and returned to his glib temperament: "Miss, are you waiting for me?"
Xie Nan guessed that it was probably the case just by listening to Wu Jing's voice. It’s done.
"You are thinking too much. I am afraid that some people will be rejected again and they will not be able to think straight and jump over the moat. Then Director Li will not be able to explain clearly." Xie Nan said sharply.
Wu Jing laughed loudly: "Don't worry, I haven't found a girlfriend yet, why can't I think about it?"
"Give me a chance, miss. For the sake of my age, how about you respect my elders?"
Xie Nan chuckled and rolled his eyes at Wu Jing: "Not serious!"
Wu laughed even louder.
Overnight, career and love are both harvested.
