Chapter 661 Lobbyist

A few days later, in Los Angeles, Liao's house.

"A Disney cartoon?"

"Yes! It's called "The Lion King"! It is said that Disney has been planning a film for many years, and it has been produced for a long time, with a large investment. Now, I have found someone to make several versions of the soundtrack, and Disney is not very satisfied!"

"oh……"

Li Qian rubbed his brows, a little confused.

This film is of course impressive. Although I am not sure whether the two things in different time and space will be different in the end, but hearing the name can bring back many good memories.

The Lion King, Simba!

And that classic "Can-You-Feel-The-Love-Tonight"!

It's just that he knows his own business, and he doesn't have enough time for this trip to the United States. If he still has time to make a soundtrack for a movie, that time is absolutely impossible to use!

The repertoire of Liao Liao's new album has been basically finalized, and it still continues the 4+6 pattern. There are six English songs, two of which are contributed by American friends, and Li Qian has come up with four songs including "Yesterday-once-more". , these six songs must be recorded before the end of January.

Then, including Liao Liao, everyone will go back to China together, firstly because the Spring Festival is coming, and secondly because Li Qian's first movie will be officially released in early February!

Although Qi Jie must be in charge of all activities such as the promotion of the movie, it is definitely impossible for Li Qian to stand idly by.

Then, I was busy talking about "My Sassy Girlfriend", and it is estimated that the confession will be made in February. During this period, Liao Liao will continue to practice singing, and wait until March to record her four Chinese songs.

Then... Maybe the album hasn't been finished yet, the first second generation of the Li family is about to be born!

It can be said that other things must be pushed as soon as possible. In the month before and after that, Li Qian only arranged one thing for himself, that is to accompany Zhou Mo! Accompany Zhou Mo! Accompany Zhou Mo!

So, what to do?

Li Qian was a little embarrassed.

Liao Liao noticed his expression and asked Sun Meimei: "The person who met you, who is Disney?"

Sun Meimei answered in response: "Michael Dawn, the vice president of Disney, the art director of the animated film department, is said to be one of the producers of the movie "The Lion King". Jon said that he ranks third in Disney. Or fourth, but in this movie, the voice is very important."

Li Qian nodded slowly.

Liao Liao said to him, "Why don't we talk about it first?"

Sun Meimei said: "Actually, we are now in Europe and the United States, and we have already opened up the market. With Liao Liao standing here, even if we want to introduce newcomers in the future, it is not that there is no channel at all. To make music for movies, they have to be accepted by others." Picking and picking, wasting time, and not getting much money, if there are no other needs, as I say, there is really no need."

At these words, Liao Liao nodded.

Although Li Qian is really a little moved in his heart, and he has other plans, he still hopes to get some support from Disney in the future, but there is really not enough time. Think again, this world is far from Everyone is still operating, and it is impossible for me to take out everything in the same way!

So, think about it, just forget it!

So, he finally nodded, "Then you can reply to Jon, forget it, just say that the time is really not open."

Sun Meimei stood up happily, "I'll call him right away!"

…………

The arrival of Liao Liao's magical oriental boyfriend, Jon, Millie Mayfair all admired him, and a song he wrote for Liao Liao's new album directly made Serena Twain cry The joke quickly spread on the parties of entertainment stars from all walks of life in Los Angeles.

Liao Liao has been here for half a year, and she often goes to various parties and wanders around. She is quite used to the American social culture, but she has not participated in such activities for a long time when she is working on a new album. , but Li Qian himself is not very interested in this way of communication, and he currently has no need to expand his contacts in the European and American entertainment circles. He couldn't finish his work. If Liao Liao had to be pushed out, he really didn't have time to "go to the world" for the time being.

Therefore, although many people sent invitations through Liao Liao's friends, the two declined without exception. On the contrary, Sun Meimei, as the representative of Liao Liao, has always been active in various parties in Los Angeles On, and recently, she brought Liao Min along.

Eating, drinking, drinking and chatting, Liao Min's oral English has improved rapidly!

However, Li Qian doesn't go out and just makes an album for Liao Liao, but it doesn't mean that others won't take the initiative to come to the door.

Four days later, at Liao Liao's home, Li Qian welcomed two old friends!

One is a senior producer of Fox Company, the producer of "Titanic" at that time, big fat John Days, and the other is a famous Hollywood movie star who went to the Yangcheng Film Festival with John Days, Li Qian's favorite heroine of "One Hundred Days of First Love", Margaery Tyrell!

Li Qian and Margery only met once, so it's a bit reluctant to say they are friends, but Margery is a fan of the Four Beauties, and she is also a die-hard fan of Liao Liao, and she has a very good relationship with Liao Liao at present!

Of course, Li Qian still remembers how she sang "I used to ask endlessly" in broken Chinese when everyone met for the first time at the Yangcheng Film Festival.

After all, it is quite rare for an American to be able to sing two lines of Chinese rock.

"Oh, Kamuang, Qian, you're handsome again!"

When the two met and hugged and patted each other, John Dess was full of anger, but Li Qian then let go of him and said with a smile: "And you didn't continue to gain weight this time!"

John Dyce laughed.

Then Li Qian reached out to shake hands with Margery, but Margery warmly opened her arms without hesitation, and gave Li Qian a big hug.

"Oh Qian, I heard the story about the new song you wrote for Liao, and I can't wait to hear Liao's new album, trust me, I can't wait!"

After joking and laughing, everyone sat down, and Margery complained directly in front of John Deiss, "My recent movies have suffered badly at the box office, including the "Margaery the Witch" produced by John. Knowing that you are a famous director in China, if you have a role that requires blonde hair and blue eyes, please remember to find me!"

John shrugged, "Me-to!"

Liao Liao laughed loudly.

Liao Liao and Li Qian briefly introduced her relationship with John Dyce and Margaery Tyrell in the past six months, so Li Qian knew that Margaery has participated in several movies recently. , it is true that the box office is not very good. Of course, she, the heroine, is partly responsible. After experiencing the great success of "Titanic", John Days has led the production of three small-budget films in the past two years. They are all on the breakeven line, and a major commercial production also participated in one, but fortunately, it is only one of the producers, and not the leading one, because it is said that the box office of that film was relatively poor, and Fox complained about the loss!

Of course, Margery became famous in "100 Days of First Love" in 1996. The famous American sweetheart, a few low-cost hits on the street, just blocked her further rise, and it would definitely not be as miserable as she described. , and John Dess has such a glorious resume as "Titanic" at the global box office, as long as the commercial production led by him does not collapse, there will be no problem for the time being. It's just a few small productions, slightly damaged, but definitely not broken!

Although the United States is a commercial society, Hollywood is even more cruel with the law of the jungle, but no matter how the law of the jungle is, at least there are three laws of movies!

A person who has succeeded, no matter what, has three consecutive chances to hit the street before he will be completely kicked out! For now, John Dice and Margaery Tyrell have only encountered a little problem, not as comfortable as they were when they were in the limelight two years ago.

Li Qian smiled and readily agreed to the other party's request for cooperation, and then everyone took advantage of the opportunity to chat about the film market issues in the United States and China in the past two years.

Everyone chatted very speculatively, and the opinions were basically the same.

The U.S. film market has been thriving in the past two years, hitting new highs, while the Chinese film market has continued to fall amidst shocks. However, it is foreseeable that this wave of decline has basically bottomed out. China’s huge population base and rapid economic development, It has been determined that the domestic movie box office market cannot fall all the way down. The current situation in the past few years can only be said to be a painful period for domestic movies after years of being crushed by Hollywood movies. Come back to your senses, raise the production level, wait until the common people become richer, and the prosperity of the film market is almost an unstoppable trend!

Therefore, when there is a suitable opportunity in the future—a suitable production, a suitable script and a suitable role—John Days hopes that Li Qian and Liao Liao can come to shoot one or two roles for his movies, and even his Said that he hopes to cooperate with Li Qian in the future, he will be the producer, Li Qian will be the director, and we will work together on a film.

Simply put, with Li Qian here, China's film market will naturally be handled by Li Qian, which is already beyond the reach of other Hollywood film companies, and John Days' years of management in Hollywood have made him Can give a certain basic guarantee for the market prospect of this kind of cooperative shooting in Europe and America!

In short, win-win.

Of course, chatting here and there is just chatting for the time being. Both hands are busy with things, and there are no good cooperation projects to choose from for the time being. Chatting like this can only be regarded as paving the way for the future.

This obviously can't be their real intention!

While talking happily, when Li Qian asked John and Margaery why they were so free and even made an appointment to come over together, the two revealed the real purpose of their trip.

They were actually persuaded by Disney, so they had to find time to be lobbyists!

***

The second one is here!

Although there are rumors that starting at 0 o'clock on the 29th, there will be double monthly tickets, but whether the rumors are true is one thing, and whether I can last until the rumors are proven true is another matter. Yes, ask for a monthly pass, everyone!
