Entertainment begins with the talk of young China

Chapter 505 Journey to the West and the Lotus Lantern

A black female reporter stood up, raised her head slightly, and asked with the microphone: "I would like to ask our crew, what kind of values ​​does the entire Fengshen series want to promote? After all, where is the protagonist we know?" The role of Zha, in fact, is not suitable for him in the traditional values ​​of Chinese people! His motives seem to be a bit too oriental!"

When director Qian Sansui heard this topic, he was silent for a while, and then replied: "We don't want to promote any values, we just want to tell a good story. There are billions of people on our planet, everyone The life experience and life attitudes of different people are very different, you can’t say who has good values ​​and who has bad values! We are all just watching with cold eyes!”

The female reporter continued to ask: "Actually, we have noticed that the positive characters in the story, such as Yang Jian and Nezha, are actually backstage. How did our screenwriter teacher conceive of this kind of character background setting? "

Qi Ji finally understood that this black female reporter just wanted to pick things up.

But before Qi Ji could speak, Qian Sansui frowned and continued, "I feel like you're messing up something. After our movie meets the audience, it actually doesn't belong to us anymore. It's It belongs to all audiences. The movie is here, as for the audience, how to interpret it is the audience's business, we can't interfere with the audience's thinking!"

Then a few reporters asked some more difficult questions with malicious intentions, but this time the crew chose not to answer.

At the end, Qi Ji held up the microphone and looked at the crowd and said: "Actually, we came here for the road show mainly to communicate with the audience who like our movies. As for those who don't like our movies, they don't have to. watch."

Qi Ji's cold words fell on the ears of many European and American media present, and the faces of many people at the scene changed.

"What did we say, this group of Chinese people exploded all at once??"

"This is a manifestation of their desire to infiltrate our ideology!"

"At the end of the day, it's still the cultural lack of self-confidence in the bones of Chinese people!"

After finishing the road show here, Qi Ji and others continued to head towards the next stop, Spain.

The group of media at the scene wrote their manuscripts very quickly, and when Qi Ji and others got on the plane, their manuscripts were sent out.

【Arrogant Chinese Qi Ji, engraved in his bones and blood, is a deep sense of inferiority. A movie created by a third-rate script, relying on plastic texture special effects, can crazily grab so many box offices around the world. Needless to say, the aesthetics of our audience this year needs to be improved urgently! 】

[The discourse movie "Fengshen Bang 3" seems to be popular in my country, but judging from all aspects of his production team, it reveals a strong arrogance.Such a filmmaker can't go far.The author also believes that even though Qi Ji, a native of Hua, has become king in the world's music scene, he is still nothing in our movie circle! 】

Even the New York Daily stepped up and gave "Feng Shen Bang 3" a score of 100 out of 30.

Then he said emphatically: "In the ideology of the Orientals, there is only victory and defeat. In the structure of its seemingly huge story background, it reveals its own extremely barren imagination! Our audience, we must be wary of similar Culture Invasion!"

Editorials like the New York Daily even seem to regard "Feng Shen Bang 3" as a cultural enemy.

At a medium-sized gathering in Hollywood, many domestic distributors, publicity agencies, producers, and top producers were present.

Everyone was chatting, and the topic came to "Feng Shen Bang 3".

Everyone's eyes fell on Clay House, the director of Centennial Films, who was sitting on the east side.

"Did you make a lot of money releasing "Feng Shen Bang 3" this time?" Someone asked Clay House.

"I didn't say that. In the future, can you all be a bit tougher about the films of Hua people, and don't arrange the films?"

"Yes! If you don't arrange films for them, now Qi Ji, a native of Hua, can only run around the world like a mouse. How could he have the opportunity to be so arrogant?"

Clay House lit a cigar, smoked it slowly, squinted his eyes slightly, and after a while, seeing everyone said they were tired, he slowly said: "I know you are in a hurry, but don't worry "Fengshenbang 3" is a big wallet. It's just picking up money. You don't let me release it, you don't let theaters line up movies, you don't let me make money, what do you want to do? There is an old saying in Huaguo that blocks people Money is like killing parents. You guys are chattering around here. What do you want to do? I know that you are actually envious that I can cooperate with Miracle Entertainment and make money. If you are not convinced, you can also contact Miracle Entertainment and find They cooperate! But you look at your ugly face now, look at your performance in the media, do you think you have a chance?"

When Clay House said this, he fell silent immediately, every word and every word was murderous.

At this moment, his phone rang, and it was Qi Ji who called.

He suddenly smiled and raised the phone: "Oh, Boss Qi, you left in such a hurry this time, we didn't have a proper meal together!"

Under everyone's gloomy gaze, Clay House smiled and had a 10-minute phone call with Qi Ji.

The entire Conferred Gods series was like a huge slap, slapping the proud Hollywood filmmaker hard on the face.

"Feng Shen Bang 3" finally earned a box office of 22 billion US dollars worldwide, ranking fifth in film history.

It is also the number one Chinese film.

This number undoubtedly brought Miracle Entertainment and Qi Ji to the altar.

Although in fact Qi Ji has been on the altar and has never come down.

Time soon came to March.

Qi Ji has been in a meeting with Qian Sansui and others these few days, preparing to start the next stage of the Fengshen universe worldview.

It is one of the stones left by Nu Wa to repair the sky, Monkey King, the Monkey King.

In the conference room, Qi Ji looked at the PPT and said, "This is the basic world view for the follow-up, and it will be expanded on the basis of the Conferred God!"

Qi Ji talked for more than an hour, and now he finally finished speaking and stopped to take a sip of water.

Qian Sansui and the others listened with gusto.

"Boss, every time you express the creativity in your heart, I can always feel a strong shock!"

"This 81-81-[-] difficulty setting, doesn't that mean that we even have the opportunity to make [-] "Journey to the West" movies?" Someone was imagining.

"Wow, Nezha Yang Jian and the others have directly become the background board!"

"Don't worry, didn't the boss say that he wants to make another one-man TV series for Yang Jian!"

Qi Ji rested for 2 minutes, and when everyone was talking about it, he tapped on the table lightly and said: "At present, my preliminary idea is that "Journey to the West" will be made in three films first, namely "Big Brothers" and "Journey to the West". Narrative in the Sky, The Kingdom of Daughters, and The True and False Monkey King. As for Yang Jian's single-player TV series, it will initially be "Lotus Lantern". I will finish the script, and we will start it in the second half of the year. Let's start the drama "Havoc in the Sky"!"

Qi Ji directly arranged the focus of work in the next two or three years.

Qian Sansui, Cai Guixiang, Li Jianguo and other directors, when you look at me and I look at you, you can see a trace of fighting spirit in each other's eyes.

Right now there are a lot of solo movies that can be made, so everyone has a feeling of comparison in their hearts.

As for the Journey to the West series, Qian Sansui was given to shoot.

The TV series "Lotus Lantern" was filmed by Cai Guixiang.

It just so happened that Qi Ji didn't have any major work arrangements this year, so he was able to start filming "Lotus Lantern".

At this time, the door of the conference room was opened, and Meng Feichen walked in with a smile and said, "I just received good news that "Feng Shen Bang 3" won three nominations for this year's Golden Dragon Awards. Best Cinematography, Best Soundtrack , and the best art."

Everyone's faces suddenly burst into smiles.

"Ah, only three items? We have become the box office champions of Chinese movies!"

"Yes! Is this discrimination against us? Because we are a commercial film, so we won't be given more important awards? For actors and actresses, screenwriters and directors, we don't have a single nomination!"

"The Golden Dragon Awards over the years have always been biased towards commercial film versions. In my heart, nominations for best screenplay and best producer, we should actually get one!"

Qi Ji has always been unimpressed with these awards.

If others give it to me, then I am naturally happy to take it.

But if not, it is actually a harmless thing, Qi Jin will not force it.

……

After the filming of "Journey to the West" was decided, the choice of Sun Dasheng's actor suddenly became Qi Ji and Qian Sansui's heart.

The two searched a large circle in the whole circle, but they still couldn't find a suitable actor.

Qi Ji contacted acquaintances in the circle in many ways to help in the search. Finally, in a theater in Youzhou, he found an actor who specialized in monkey plays, and this was the role he was given.

Time soon came to April.

The company is still focused on preparing for the announcement and release of "The Wandering Earth 2" and "The Wandering Earth 3".

When Miracle Entertainment officially announced that both 2 and 3 will be scheduled for this summer, the fans who were looking forward to it were already extremely excited.

"Looking forward to it! Super looking forward to it!"

"To be honest, this is the first time I've seen such a dense release of two closely related films!"

"I heard some news that after Qi Ji finished filming, there were too many materials, and the duration of a movie simply couldn't fit. Judging from the current filing information from the General Administration, "The Wandering Earth 2" and The total duration of "The Wandering Earth 3" should be more than six hours! This kind of duration can only be divided into two movies!"

"It doesn't matter how many he plays, it's best to turn it into a TV series with dozens of episodes, it will be fun to watch like this!"

In late April, Qi Ji attended this year's Golden Dragon Award Ceremony with Gu Jing, the photographer and artist of the Fengshen crew.

On the red carpet, Gu Jing held Qi Le's arm, facing hundreds of media, with an official smile on his face.

"Director Qi, how many awards can we win tonight?" Gu Jing asked in a low voice after the two walked into the venue and sat down.

Both of them are in the first row.

Qi Ji said: "Who knows, but this time you didn't nominate Best Supporting Actress, it's actually a loss!"

Qi Ji really likes Gu Jing's interpretation of the role of Daji in the Fengshen series. He is charming but not vulgar but not gaudy, and he completely brings this role to life.

Many movie fans at home and abroad regard her as an absolute goddess.

Gu Jing said with a smile: "Director Qi, don't dare to talk nonsense, you haven't nominated, so why should I name it!"

The two were talking and laughing, and more and more actors followed.

Everyone is basically acquaintances, so they all greeted each other with a smile.

Feng Muyu is also here today, and she has nominated a Best Supporting Actress.

"Old Feng, I wish you the prize tonight!" Qi Ji congratulated in advance.

Feng Muyu waved his hand: "The competition is too fierce!"

Qi Ji also saw an acquaintance, Mi Aile, who had been his assistant for a while, she was also nominated for Best Supporting Actress today, and she could be regarded as Feng Muyu's direct competitor.

He didn't pay attention to the shortlist this time, so Qi Ji was a little surprised to see her now.

In his impression, Mi Aile's acting skills were far inferior to Feng Muyu's. What did she rely on to be shortlisted for Best Supporting Actress?
Mi Aile also noticed Qi Ji's gaze. She was in the second row, three chairs behind Qi Ji.

She came over with her skirt in hand: "Boss Qi, long time no see!"

She greeted Qi Ji with a smile.

Qi Ji also nodded slightly, and said something polite: "It's been a long time since I saw you, Xiaomi, you are getting more and more beautiful!"

Mi Aile replied: "Maybe it's because people feel refreshed on happy occasions, haha!"

The scene of the two chatting was captured by many media not far away, and after 2 minutes, similar photos were spread all over the Internet.

Mi Aile's shortlisted role this time is the role of a young mother who lost her child. On her way to find her child, she touched many audiences.

The number of Mi Aile's Weibo fans has already broken through the tens of millions mark. Seeing this group photo now, netizens are talking about it.

"This is the reward that hard work can bring, right? Who would have thought that it was just a small assistant by Qi Ji's side back then, but now he has become a big star, and has become an existence to attend the Golden Dragon Awards with Qi Ji Yes. Xiaomi is really inspiring!"

"I love it! Seeing the photos of these two people, in my mind, I even made up a deep sadomasochistic relationship, hahaha!"

"Mom, although Qi Ji is married, I still have to say that the two of you look really good for each other!"
