Chapter 319： mid july

Chapter 319 Mid-July

The time came to mid-July, and the movie "Wu Shuang" was finally finished.

This is also the most tiring of all Qi Lin's films!

Not physically, but psychologically!

Director Zhuang Qiang's requirements for this film are really too high, stricter than all the directors Qi Lin has worked with before.

The main requirements of the directors that Qi Lin has worked with before are expressions, movements, and lines.

As long as these three aspects meet the standards, as for the eyes, it only needs to be expressed in some special shots.

After all, the eyes of normal people cannot always be full of emotion.

Director Zhuang Qiang is different!

In addition to facial expressions, actions, and lines, he also asked for eyes, emotions, scenery, and a series of things!

I had to reshoot a little bit, so that there was even a situation where a lens was stuck for a day.

When an ordinary director encounters this kind of thing, most directors will choose to skip this shot first and shoot the follow-up shot.

Because multiple NGs will bring great psychological pressure to the actors, skipping this scene and filming the follow-up scenes is to adjust the actors' mentality, and at the same time not waste time to delay the shooting progress.

Director Zhuang Qiang is, keep shooting! Keep shooting as long as you don't pass!

It can only be said that fortunately these actors are all good enough to withstand this pressure. If some young actors were replaced, they might have collapsed long ago.

Right after the wrap-up banquet here, Qi Lin was already ready to go back to Hengdian.

Nothing else, too tired, need a break.

When adults feel tired, the first place they think of is home!

In Hengdian in mid-July, the temperature is horrific.

That's a temperature that not even a fan can save.

In the office, Qi Lin's doors and windows were closed, the air conditioner was turned on, and he lay motionless on the sofa.

Wang Xiaohua and He Jiaxin sat across from each other, Wang Xiaohua said softly: "Yesterday's box office is out, "Kung Fu" has a single-day box office of 150 million, and "People on Journey" has a single-day box office of 60 million."

Qi Lin swallowed after hearing this and said, "Is that an exaggeration? I watched "People on Journey" online and got a pretty good reputation. Why is there such a big difference in the box office?"

Wang Xiaohua rolled his eyes at him and said: "Because the other party is Master Xing! Just these two words, they are not comparable."

After hearing this, Qi Lin was very happy. Fortunately, "The Breakup Master" and "Anti-Drug" were released in mid-August and the other at the end of August, and there was no conflict with the screening period of Master Xing.

However, they also have a big enemy, that is the blockbuster "War Crisis" from Hollywood!

Qi Lin also watched the promotional video of the other party. It was very hot, and there were so many big scenes. A lot of money was invested just by looking at it. It belongs to that kind of real blockbuster!

I have to say that there is still a market for this kind of blockbuster in China.

But "Sweeping Drugs" is also considered a blockbuster in a sense, after all, the cast is very good!

With the joining of the two major film stars, and Qi Lin, the hottest newcomer at the moment, he still has a certain degree of competitiveness.

The only one that suffers more is "The Breakup Master"!

The cast is relatively average. Although Captain Deng is invited for the protagonist, and Xue Jian is invited for the heroine, the other actors are really average!

The director is even called a box office poison, no matter how you look at it, there is nothing shining.

Even Qi Lin and Wang Xiaohua didn't have high expectations for this movie. It's not that they are weak, but the opponent is too strong!

"Brother, the ax you played in cameo made big brother popular."

Wang Xiaohua couldn't help laughing out loud after she finished speaking, and handed the tablet to Qi Lin, and there was a video of ghosts and animals on it, and the protagonist of the video was Brother Chen played by Qi Lin!

Qi Lin was surprised and said, "The ghost came out just one day after the movie was released? Where did they get the high-definition resources?"

"A promotional video? Don't you know? Master Xing specially made a two-minute independent promotional video for you before."

Qi Lin: "."

He really doesn't know about this. In fact, as long as he doesn't have any economic relationship with him, he rarely cares about it.

But in "Kung Fu", he was only a cameo, he wasn't the leading actor, and he didn't have any share, so Qi Lin naturally paid less attention.

Qi Lin flipped through the script of "National Witness" in his hand, Wang Xiaohua continued.

"Brother, the expansion of the Qi family class is on the horizon."

Qi Lin looked at Wang Xiaohua curiously upon hearing this, waiting for her to continue.

"When you were filming before, I went to Hong Tai and Hong Bao. At the beginning, I planned to ask them to help introduce two reliable martial artists, but they directly selected a few for us from their own team. people."

"I looked at the candidates, and they are all at the right age to fight. Of course, I also found two old martial artists, after all, they have experience."

"It's just that it's not easy to find Wia masters. You know that suitable coercion masters are lifeblood, and people are reluctant to let them out."

"And I also contacted three martial arts schools! Thanks to your current reputation, we can recruit students! Select a few good seedlings and cultivate them. This kind of martial arts masters brought out from childhood will be easier to use."

Qi Lin also felt that what Sister Hua said made sense, the children who graduated from the martial arts school were only sixteen or seventeen, and it was easy to train a three- to five-year-old.

Qi Lin still attaches great importance to this matter, because these people are his future capital!

"As for next year's movie plan, I have two ideas. The first one is to be popular! Focus on the box office, let the insiders see our box office appeal!"

"The second is applause, rushing to receive the award, let the insiders see our strength, how do you plan to choose?"

"I want them all!"

Qi Lin answered directly, but Wang Xiaohua was speechless.

"That's unlikely. The possibility of making a phenomenal movie for the first time is less than that of you being a martial arts leader."

“.”

Seeing Qi Lin's speechless look, Wang Xiaohua couldn't help laughing out loud, obviously very satisfied with the metaphor she just made.

"Let's go to the box office. I think it's still about making money."

Wang Xiaohua is not surprised by this choice, after all Qi Lin is such a 'plain and unpretentious' child!

"Success, as for the script, I will try my best to choose some that cater to the market."

After Wang Xiaohua finished speaking, she turned off the computer, while He Jiaxin continued to report.

"Boss, the follow-up box office of "The Bodyguard of Zhong N Hai" is back, and the share of "John Wick" and "The Matrix 2" has come out. The total is 345.67 million. Is the money still saved?"

"save!"

"Okay boss, if it is saved, does the bank have any choice? The interest rate given to us by ICBC is not bad, but China Merchants Bank."

He Jiaxin began to talk freely, telling Qi Lin some conditions offered by the bank.

Now Qi Lin is already a top customer of several major banks, and they are trying to attract Qi Lin to save money.
