Super entertainment red envelope

Chapter 902 New Movie Project!
United Kingdom.

Harry Potter is on.

This time, "Chamber of Secrets" and "Prisoner of Azkaban" started filming at the same time, but of course "Chamber of Secrets" was filmed first.

Li Zhifan flew to the UK to attend the opening ceremony, stayed for two days, and also participated in the British Academy of Film and Television Arts Awards.

He did not accept the award, but attended as an award presenter.

Although the first part of "Harry Potter" also won awards, including Best Art Direction, Best Special Effects, and Best Makeup/Hairstyle, none of them had anything to do with Li Zhifan, and someone from the crew accepted the award.

After the awards were presented, Li Zhifan returned to China without stopping.

The women's group is basically stable. Li Zhifan has already handed over all his works, and a professional team is responsible for the practice and recording.

……

Oriental Entertainment.

Li Zhifan's team office area.

"Everyone put down the work in hand and come to the conference room for a meeting!"

Liu Zexin yelled, all the employees stopped, then cleaned up their desks, and began to walk into the office one after another.

an hour ago.

Li Zhifan came to Liu Zexin's office as soon as he joined the company early in the morning.

"I'm making a new movie!"

He said it directly, and looked a little excited.

On the plane back from England, Li Zhifan snatched a big red envelope among the stars.

And this red envelope comes from another world-renowned director, actor, and investor Xu Zheng.

That's right, Li Zhifan snatched a movie he starred in a few years ago - "I'm Not the God of Medicine"!
Li Zhifan had seen the name of this movie in a red envelope shop, but the name didn't appeal to him, and the price was too expensive, so he didn't even try it.

And after getting it for free this time, Li Zhifan chose to use it to pass the time during this boring flight time.

I didn't expect this movie to be so good.

Of course, what Li Zhifan values ​​more is the meaning of this movie, this is not the kind of movie that deliberately shows off and pretends to be profound.

It's not even a comedy, but it also makes people cry while laughing.

"What to shoot?"

Liu Zexin asked casually, "The Lord of the Rings 2? Do you want to contact the Hollywood team and the people from William Entertainment?"

"No!"

Li Zhifan shook his head, "It's a new movie, a Chinese-language movie! Gather everyone first, and I'll announce it at the meeting!"

"Have you...written the script yet?"

When Liu Zexin heard that it was a Chinese movie, he couldn't help asking.

"Not yet! But soon!"

Li Zhifan said with a smile, "When did I delay?"

……

in the conference room.

Li Zhifan was the first to come in, and then waited for everyone in the team to come in.

When everyone was seated, Li Zhifan said: "To make a long story short, we have a new film to start shooting. I am still writing the script here, but I can give you a list of characters, so our actor auditions and invitations will take place in a few days. Get organized."

Other people's scripts are polished for a long time, even five or ten years before they are released.

But Li Zhifan's script should be written now?
It's not that there are no such crews in the film industry, but the films that were made in the end were all rushed.

However, Li Zhifan also has a talent. So many movies have been made in this way, and he has never failed.

Since there are so many successful precedents, even if it is unpredictable this time, it is not impossible to give it a try.

Besides, everyone is just an employee. They have doubts but have no reason to refute. They can only follow Li Zhifan's steps. If you want to lose, you will lose together, if you want to win, you will win together.

"I'll give you the script in three days!"

Li Zhifan said to the screenwriter team, "You can recruit screenwriters from the company at will, and I will greet Mr. Tang!"

"Ok!"

The person in charge of the screenwriting team nodded and said that there were actually only two of them, and they were the screenwriters who had been following Li Zhifan, but most of the time, they were screenwriters for other film and television dramas.

As for Li Zhifan's script, they were only responsible for assigning lines to the actors, and communicating with the production staff to find the scene according to the written script.

In one meeting, Li Zhifan arranged a lot of work.

Including going to the radio and television to register, finding a team, finding actors and other detailed arrangements.

a few days later.

The script is out.

Li Zhifan was delayed by one day from the original plan, and this is just a text script, without the storyboard script, actor script, etc., but these will be handed over to the screenwriter team, because the general story, lines, and scene description, It's all there.

Just from the title of the script, Ruan Ruochu could tell that this movie is very eye-catching.So she immediately opened the script and began to study it.

Shanghai Stock Exchange, Qingpu.

A community that has been built for several years.

The rooms here are relatively not as high as the city center, but they are also expensive.

Wang Qingshan is an actor, but he belongs to the kind of actor who has a hard life. Even so, with his years of savings, he still bought a second-hand house of 85 square meters here.

This morning, he received an email from Oriental Entertainment, which contained an actor script and a story outline.

I thought it was a low-budget or self-made sitcom, because he has always acted in this kind of drama, but I didn't expect it to be Li Zhifan's movie.

Seeing these three words, Wang Qingshan became excited, his hands trembling uncontrollably.

And yelled: "Wife, wife! Come and see, Li Zhifan emailed me, it's a script!"

"what?"

His wife came over muttering, "Are you talking nonsense? Li Zhifan for you?"

But when she saw the email that was confirmed to be Li Zhifan, she also covered her mouth excitedly.

After a while, she pushed Wang Qingshan: "Husband, husband, agree quickly!"

"Hmm! Mmm! I'll think about the words!"

Wang Qingshan grabbed his hair, nervous as if he was going to have an interview with Li Zhifan now.

Li Zhifan asked Wang Qingshan to play the role of Zhang Changlin, a counterfeit drug dealer.

Wang Qingshan is already middle-aged, his image is suitable, and his acting skills are also online, which belongs to the level of veteran actors.

Li Zhifan once watched Wang Qingshan being interrogated after being caught as a robber in a criminal investigation TV series.

That part of the performance was quite good, with a very vivid image, I really thought he was just squatting all year round.

Wang Qingshan opened up the plot of the story first, intending to take a quick look at it.

But I didn't expect that I was immediately fascinated by this look.

The plot of "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is very fascinating, one after another, until the end.

Although there is no dialogue in the plot of this story, only simple character relationships and plot design, it is enough to see that this is a very rare and thought-provoking excellent drama!
Wang Qingshan's wife was also watching.

Can't help urging: "Qingshan, you can take good care of this movie! It must be filmed!"

His wife's name is Jiang Chun, who is also an actress, and has been in the industry longer than Wang Qingshan. Judging from her industry experience, as long as the plot can be restored to its original flavor, it will definitely be a popular and well-received domestic film. excellent work.

The reason why Li Zhifan wanted to make this movie was because he was certain that it would become a well-known film. As for how high the box office would be, it was not his first consideration.

In another world, "I'm Not the God of Medicine" is the only domestic movie with a score of 9.0 on Douban. Almost none of the audiences, especially the girls who have watched it, are not moved, because it is based on real The adaptation of the story is very immersive and realistic.

There was a scene in which the old lady complained about the high price of medicine. When Li Zhifan watched it on the plane, he also shed tears.

Of course, this is also the only place where he shed tears in the whole play, and even a hard-hearted person like him can shed tears, which is enough to show that the plot handling in this part is very clever, and it erupts in silence, which is a test of the screenwriter and director's strength.

……

Oriental Entertainment.

Li Zhifan soon received a reply from Wang Qingshan, expressing his willingness to perform, even with zero pay.

He knew that Wang Qingshan asked for zero salary because he was afraid of losing this opportunity, but Li Zhifan was not a stingy person, and besides, he had already identified Wang Qingshan, so naturally he would not give him cheap treatment.

After replying to Wang Qingshan with the specific interview time, Li Zhifan called his assistant in: "Xiao Wu, call Wang Yue and tell him that I want to ask him to make a movie."

"Alright Mr. Li! I'm going to contact Teacher Wang Yue's studio right now."

Xiao Wu nodded and finished speaking, and walked out of the office.

Her workplace is just outside Li Zhifan's office, so she immediately searched the address book and found the contact number of Wang Yue's studio.

"Hi, hello! Is this Teacher Wang Yue's studio? I'm Dongfang Entertainment, and I'm Li Zhifan's assistant to Mr. Li. Mr. Li has written a movie script and wants to cooperate with Mr. Wang's director."

There was also an assistant from Wang Yue's studio. When he heard that Li Zhifan was calling to invite him, he was very suspicious.

Isn't the relationship between Li Zhifan and Wang Yue unusual?

Both of them are members of the extreme men's gang, why do they have to make such a phone call, so troublesome?

However, the assistant's attitude was very serious, and he said to Xiao Wu: "Okay! I will contact Brother Yue right away. If I have news later, I will contact you immediately."

……

In addition to Wang Yue's side, Fu Bing's side also received invitations.

Without exception, they were all very polite calls from assistant Xiao Wu, not Li Zhifan's personal calls.

Besides these two, Hu Lei also received an invitation from Li Zhifan.

Hu Lei has now set up his own film and television company, called Gu Yue Film and Television, but it mainly shoots some TV series, and Hu Lei himself has not participated in filming for a long time.

After receiving the invitation call, his female assistant ran to the set in a hurry, found Hu Lei who was really putting on makeup, and said, "Mr. Hu, I received an invitation from Li Zhifan and Mr. Li just now. He invited you to make a movie..."

……

Beijing.

It was already midnight.

Zhao Yi, a well-known domestic director, has just fed his wife, and he is also content to go to bed.

His last movie was released the year before last, and it took in 9.3 million box office in the domestic box office market.

For this achievement, although it has paid off, it is still far from enough. It is far from those movies that can easily reach the box office with billions of dollars.

In the past two years, Zhao Yi has not released a new film, and he has no intention to start shooting. He has not even had much contact with investors, because he can't find a good script to shoot, and he is afraid of rushing to the street again.

Instead of pursuing quantity, it is better to settle down and think about a movie that has both film quality and high box office and reputation.

Of course, he also received many scripts from screenwriters during this period, and he wrote many stories himself, but none of them were very suitable.

"Jingle Bell……"

The phone rang, and Zhao Yi's manager, Xiao Ma, called and said anxiously, "Director Zhao, Director Zhao, Li Zhifan, Mr. Li just sent an email, he, he, he invited you..."

Xiao Ma spoke in such a hurry that he actually choked on his own saliva.

"Hey, little horse! What's wrong in the middle of the night? If you have something to say, speak slowly. I'm so anxious, what's the matter?"

Zhao Yi yawned, feeling very helpless towards his suddenly frizzy manager.

At the same time, he also wondered what happened, why did Li Zhifan invite him?

"Ahem, this is Director Zhao!"

Xiao Ma breathed a sigh of relief, resisting the itchiness in his throat, and said word by word, "I just received a cooperation call from Oriental Entertainment. It is Li Zhifan who is about to start shooting a new movie and said that he wants to cooperate with you in the filming."

"what?"

As soon as Xiao Ma finished speaking, Zhao Yi, who was still in a daze, sat up from the bed all of a sudden, startling the satisfied wife beside him.

Zhao Yi's eyes widened, and he asked incredulously, "What? What did you say? Li Zhifan?"

Hearing these three words, how could Zhao Yi not care?
This is a god-level director worshiped by everyone in the film industry, and even a superstar in the entertainment industry. It is self-evident what it means to be invited by Li Zhifan.

"Yes, Director Zhao!"

Xiao Ma is still excited, and his figure has also raised the decibel, "Mr. Li sent an email and said, I hope I can have an interview with you, and ask me if I don't know when you are free here, so I will inform you, and we are still waiting for you over there." Reply!"

"This, this me, in fact, these few days...or it will be Monday the day after tomorrow!"

What Zhao Yi originally wanted to say was that he was free for the past few days, even if he made an appointment to meet tomorrow morning, he was still in the capital anyway.

But he felt that he still had to prepare well, and besides, he was a well-known director anyway, even if he hadn't produced any works in the past two years, pretending to be busy was one of the compulsory courses for an artist.

"Okay!"

The manager Xiao Ma immediately said, "Then I will reply, and we will meet next week!"

"Uh... um!"

Zhao Yi instructed, "Be more sincere in your tone and attitude, don't think about being so reckless just now!"

"I know, I understand!"

Xiao Ma nodded frantically, but in fact, when he received the call from Li Zhifan, he was already very reckless.

Li Zhifan's invitation to Zhao Yi this time is actually because he wants to be the leading actor. He is worried that he will not be able to do it all at once, so he will be the chief director, and then invite a director to be the executive director.

And Zhao Yi was only one of the candidates, and Li Zhifan also invited several directors who were similar to him.

The goal he chooses is to be easy to control and be obedient. Even a director who has been famous for a long time has to be controlled by him. Work harder.

It was precisely because he didn't want to work so hard that he made this choice.
