Chapter 1020 Hero

When I received a call from Han Shunzhang, it was eight o'clock in the morning in the United States, and Li Qian had just arrived on the set. And today is the day when "Autumn Fairy Tale" officially starts shooting.

On the phone, Han Shunzhang heard that Fu Hongxue had taken the initiative to call. He was a little surprised, but also a little puzzled—ordinarily, with Fu Hongxue's status and qualifications, "Legend of the Condor Heroes" became popular again, and "The Legend of Condor Heroes" attracted more attention. And looking forward to it, she wouldn't be so self-deprecating.

It happened that Du Yihua was on the set. Li Qian saw her, walked over and asked her, "Why is Fu Hongxue interested in "The Legend of Condor Heroes"? It's a TV series!"

Because Du Yihua has been sent to the United States since the beginning of the year, and is currently the top person in charge of Minghu Culture in the United States, and also a China Construction contact between Minghu Culture and the two subsidiaries of Columbia and Oriental Dream. , this time "Autumn Fairy Tale" will be filmed and partly shot in the United States, and she will naturally help from the beginning to the end - anyway, she doesn't have too many things to deal with in the United States now.

At this time, she was busy negotiating with two studio managers from the United States. After finally finishing the negotiation, she turned around and gave Li Qian a glare, "You ask me, I'll ask who!"

Li Qian was surprised, "Isn't Fu Hongxue from your company? You don't know about this?"

Du Yihua immediately said: "You also know that I have a company to manage! I was sent here at the beginning of the year, and I have been staying in this place where the birds don't shit for almost a year!"

This is the first time Li Qian has heard someone refer to the United States as "a place where birds don't shit".

This adjective is unique.

Especially at that time, when American culture was popular all over the world, people in many parts of the world, including the Chinese, regarded the United States as a paradise. This statement is really... commendable!

Li Qian said: "You are really surprised, the United States is also considered a place where birds don't shit?"

Du Yihua was laughed at by his words, and she didn't know whether she was annoyed by herself or Li Qian's compliment. She said: "A person who can't even eat a bowl of authentic wonton, and wants to drink soy milk American-style soy milk with an awkward taste, Hangzhou steamed buns are sweet, isn’t this place a bird’s shit?”

Li Qian shrugged, but had to agree, "It makes sense!"

To be honest, he has eaten the so-called Chinese food in the United States, and the improved ones are really awkward.

Du Yihua laughed again when he heard the words, and said: "I'm free here in the United States, I just have to find an old American to have a baby to play with, and I can't let go of all the things in China, all rely on phone calls and emails. Management. Tell me, how much should I lose?"

This is really unfair!

When she first came to the United States to negotiate with the publisher Columbia on the peripheral cooperation of "Calabash Baby", she should have volunteered to come here. Naturally, she also participated in the subsequent acquisition incident, and later, as the resident of Minghu Culture The highest representative of the North American region, the release of "The Matrix", the release of "Dragon Inn", and a series of things, say more, but say less, definitely need someone to watch, she naturally also Just stayed there.

But as she said, when she has nothing to do, she has a lot of free time, and she can go back to China for a few days to deal with things!

But after a year, she only went back twice!

I don't know what she is busy with when she is usually free!

Li Qian could only shrug his shoulders and said, "There are currently three cinema chains under our umbrella, and you took the lead in building one of them. Or, why don't you go back and start this one?"

Du Yihua raised his eyebrows, tilted his head, and said, "Did Hongxue call you?"

This is what Gu Zuo said about him.

Li Qian had no choice but to follow her and change the subject, saying, "I called Lao Han."

Du Yihua squinted his eyes and thought for a while, then nodded slowly, "That's not bad! Isn't it a good thing? She is so famous, such a strong charisma, actress, and popular, and He Yingyu and Qin Jingjing are first-class, take the initiative Are you still not happy to ask to join a TV series?"

Li Qian said: "But Lao Han said that he doesn't think Fu Hongxue is suitable for Xiao Longnv, so he should give her another role, because he is afraid that she will be unhappy. Or...you know her well, so why don't you ask her what she means?"

Du Yihua snorted, "The people under your command are all like you. They have learned the attitude of a gentle gentleman! Actually, is it necessary? Although Hongxue is my artist and we are also good sisters, but I I still have to say this. No matter how good she is, she is still an actress. Minghu Culture has no shortage of actors of her level and style. Are you afraid of offending her? If there is a suitable role, ask her if she would like to play it. If there is no suitable role Just refuse! What’s wrong with Fu Hongxue? Fu Hongxue has to play the heroine when she comes here? You are Minghu Culture! Han Shunzhang is the manager of the film and television department of Minghu Culture, and that’s "The Legend of Condor Heroes"!"

Hearing this, Li Qian subconsciously dragged his cheeks to look at her.

It's a strange paradox.

Li Qian himself, on the one hand, is due to his personality, and on the other hand, it is due to his age. In fact, as Du Yihua said, he is more advocating the set of principles of being a modest gentleman who is as gentle as jade. Do things in a steady and steady manner, don't be in a hurry, don't be in a hurry, be convenient to others when you can, help others when you can, don't make things difficult for others, don't block people's money, and don't be evil. Just try to do things in a down-to-earth manner according to the established goals.

But unfortunately, the few people who finally gathered under his command and were responsible for helping him manage his affairs and property were all tough-tempered—Qi Jie who was in charge of the overall situation, Xie Mingyuan who was in charge of music, and who was in charge of brokerage affairs and artists. Zou Wenhuai is in charge of Du Yihua who is stationed in the United States. There is even a Kim Han to be included.

They and they are all heroes who can't rub the sand in their eyes!

Sometimes Li Qian would think: I have been hanging around in the middle and lower levels in my previous life, and I have never been able to climb up. I am afraid that it is not simply a matter of my limited talent, but it may be related to the lack of drive and toughness in my character—— Of course, this life is different. In this life, the golden finger is too strong. As long as there is no IQ problem, you will probably have some achievements. The difference is only in the size of the achievements.

Of course, there is another explanation. In any environment, the ones who can finally form a group are often those with complementary personalities.

For example, "All is gone" and "Reading for the rise of China".

It's just that it's a little strange now that at Minghu Culture, I, the leader of the way, is actually a good-natured person, but the people responsible for the specific work are all fierce generals with angry eyebrows and beards.

With a wave of his hand, Li Qian withdrew his confused thoughts, "Forget it, that's Lao Han's business, and I don't bother to ask. What he means is that if Fu Hongxue is really interested, he wants Fu Hongxue to come and play the role of Li Mochou .As for the role of Little Dragon Girl, he still feels that Fu Hongxue is not suitable, so he probably still has to audition."

Speaking of this, he said: "Then let Lao Han talk to her!"

But thinking about it, he thought it was quite interesting.

In "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", Bai Yujing played the glamorous, ruthless and infatuated Mei Chaofeng, which almost won the unanimous approval of the whole country-Old Bai is too fine.

In fact, her talent in acting is not that prominent and outstanding, at least not comparable to Qin Jingjing's natural drama idiot. But she is a person with a clear eye, especially after she experienced the incident of quitting the entertainment industry that year, she stayed in the small flower shop in Chang'an Mansion for so many years, and she saw many things very clearly.

So after enjoying the sweetness of playing the role of the queen in "Princess Returning the Pearl", she has become more and more transparent and chic no matter how she behaves or acts.

Looking at it now, Fu Hongxue seemed to have the same intentions.

The vast majority of actors are very concerned about their celebrity status. First of all, the distinction between movies and TV dramas, and then the size of the investment, who is the director, the number of roles in the play, and even who the opponent is. These are important references for considering the celebrity status of a drama. ——Once many actors become famous, they absolutely refuse to play supporting roles. Once TV drama actors become famous in movies, they are absolutely unwilling to go back to acting in TV dramas.

But a few smart people don't care about that.

Since Lao Bai's comeback until now, there have been seven or eight TV series filmed, participated in three or five movies, and only starred in one, but what is her image of Bai Yujing in the minds of most audiences?

It's the White Snake, the Queen's Empress, and Mei Chaofeng.

In other dramas, some are not without popularity, and there are also a few small ones that have been popular, and in those dramas, Lao Bai is the heroine, with a heavy role and high pay. But no, not only the audience can't remember, but even the media won't remember your other characters in many cases. As soon as everyone mentioned it, they said that Lao Bai played the role of The White Lady, the Empress, and Mei Chaofeng.

So everyone likes her, so many TV drama producers continue to pay a lot of money to invite her to play the heroine of those TV dramas that are basically guaranteed not to be remembered.

But the problem is, the empress is actually a big villain, and the audience shouldn't like it. Although Mei Chaofeng is not a villain, in the drama "The Legend of the Condor Heroes", she is not even a second-class supporting role. Only those who play roles like Hong Qigong's old urchin can be regarded as relatively important supporting roles.

But it's useless. Although this kind of role has few roles, it has a lot of weight. The characters' emotions are pleasing, and the actors have their own good looks. Therefore, if a small supporting role is played, Lao Bai can be popular for several years!

Fu Hongxue must have figured out the reason behind this by now?

She made her debut in "Fengshen Yanyi" back then, and became popular overnight because she played the coquettish, glamorous and sinister Su Daji. Later, her career was smooth sailing. The first movie she took was Wu Han's " "Across the World" sold more than 200 million yuan, and then "The Gate of Life and Death" became a big hit...

And in recent years, although she has also taken on two literary films, and those two literary films are unsurprisingly unknown, she receives invitations from major companies and directors for major productions almost every year. And she basically maintains the rhythm of appearing in at least one big-budget commercial movie every year.

But in fact, even now, she has even won the title of Best Actress, and the role that everyone remembers most about her is that beautiful vixen in "Fengshen Yanyi", Su Daji!

So I have to say that in many cases, whether the play is good or not, and whether the characters are good or not, are actually more important than movies or TV dramas, protagonists or supporting roles, the amount of investment, the size of the director's cast, etc. These things are actually more important.

It's a pity that although there may not be few people who understand this principle, there are very few actors who can stick to this guiding idea to take on the show.

Although Li Qian said "leave it to Lao Han to make up his mind", he was really curious about what answer she would give if Han Shunzhang told Fu Hongxue that she wanted her to play the role of Li Mochou.

Well, very interesting.

He turned around and walked into the studio, Du Yihua walked side by side with him.

Li Qian said softly: "If you have stayed in the United States enough, you can go back. For the United States, I will ask Mr. Qi to send someone else."

Hearing this, Du Yihua pursed his lips and showed a smile. Without looking at Li Qian, he said as he walked, "You really don't know what I'm waiting for? Do you have to wait for me to tell you? Or do you want me to act coquettishly on you old man? "

Li Qian laughed and waved his hands, "Okay, okay!"

While speaking, he stopped, "Glenshire did ask for my opinion, and I want to invite you to join Columbia's Supreme Production Committee as an independent producer, and in the future, you will be responsible for leading the processing of Minghu Culture and Columbia's co-production film. , Of course, you also have the right to operate some production plans by yourself, as long as Columbia can pass it, it will be fine, as for me..." He smiled, "Agreed."

After finishing speaking, Li Qian continued to walk in.

Du Yihua stopped, looking at Li Qian's back, she smiled.

A little bit proud, and a little bit excited.

Yes, although it is only an agent sent by Minghu Culture to be in charge of contacting and negotiating, but relying on her excellent work in the United States in the past year, and even many of the negotiations with Colombia, she still let the Colombian Up and down, especially the management, have a deep understanding of their abilities.

As a result, the Columbia management headed by Glenshire opened up to himself in a rare way, allowing himself, who was clearly labeled with Minghu Culture and Li Qian, to enter the Columbia production circle.

It can also be said that this is the Hollywood production circle.

This is the top circle of the entire world film market.

Starting to struggle from here is much more interesting than staying in China!

…………

9:10 a.m. Western time.

In a Columbia Pictures studio in Los Angeles, Lu Lingxi stared at the images on the monitor for several seconds, and could hear the entire set except for the slight mechanical sound from the camera that was already on. Besides, there was almost no sound. She took a deep breath, suppressed her inner turmoil, and said steadily: ""Autumn Fairy Tale", the first scene and the first scene, start!"
