China Entertainment has been a director since 08

Chapter 498: Lao Mouzi makes science fiction?

The meeting continued.

Many people suddenly realized that this year’s projects had not increased, but were basically the same as the previous two years.

This is quite unexpected.

Now the entire market is optimistic about the film and television industry. It is generally optimistic that the film and television industry this year will completely return to the level of 2019. It is even slightly more optimistic. It is even believed that the film and television industry will have good growth on the basis of 2019.

Under this situation, many film and television companies have received a lot of funds and have added projects.

In various film and television cities, there are far more filming starts than at the same time last year.

Li Hao noticed everyone's surprise, but he didn't explain much.

It cannot be said that the cold winter of 2022 will be uncomfortable, and there will be a new black swan.

This kind of thing is enough for Li Hao to know by himself, and it is not suitable for too many people to know.

"Director Zhang, are you going to shoot a movie this year, or take a break and come back next year?" Li Hao looked at Lao Mouzi.

Li Hao still respected Lao Mouzi.

"When the closing ceremony is over, I can rest for a month and then start shooting a movie." Lao Mouzi pondered for a moment and said with a smile.

Lao Mouzi's words made all the A-list celebrities' eyes light up.

Lao Mouzi's movies are second only to Li Hao's movies in terms of appeal to them.

If the films produced by Lao Mouzi tend to be literary and artistic films, they will be more likely to win awards, while if they are commercial blockbusters, they will often be successful at the box office.

"Does Director Zhang plan to make a sequel to "Ghost Blowing the Lamp", or what type of movie is he going to make?" Li Hao asked.

Li Hao couldn't wait to see Lao Mouzi make a movie. After all, Lao Mouzi is a golden brand, and the box office won't be far behind.

"Ghost Blowing the Lamp", the main story alone can be shot for eight movies. If the prequels and postquels are added, about eleven movies can be made.

You can make one movie a year, or you can shoot one movie every few years.

Just like Star Wars.

Next year, Haotian Media will have no shortage of movies. There are six movies that have already been produced and are waiting to be released!
Therefore, Li Hao is not in a hurry to film the "Ghost Blowing Lamp" series of movies.

"Director Li, I want to give an interview on a science fiction theme." Lao Mouzi thought for a while and said slowly: "I used to watch Hollywood movies, and I wanted to try to shoot science fiction movies, but there has never been a chance. I want to try it now, but if I don’t try it, I’m afraid I’ll never have the chance again.”

In the past, Lao Mouzi just wanted to shoot science fiction movies, but there was no chance. Firstly, China did not have the basis for shooting science fiction movies, neither in terms of special effects nor shooting technology. Secondly, science fiction movies require huge investment. , the production cost can easily reach hundreds of millions. This is not something that Chinese film and television companies can do well.

Therefore, Lao Mouzi could only hold back his eagerness.

But things are different now. China already has the industrial foundation and filming technology to produce science fiction movies, and Haotian Media also has the funds to produce a science fiction blockbuster.

Li Hao was stunned. He did not expect that Lao Mouzi wanted to try science fiction movies.

Since he filmed "The Martian", there have been almost one or two science fiction films in Chinese-language films every year. However, none of the science fiction films produced by Haotian Media has achieved good box office results.

Losses abound.

Li Hao also thought that Lao Mouzi would make a movie that was more literary and artistic.

However, if Lao Mouzi wants to try a new genre, Li Hao will not object.

Even if Lao Mouzi's attempt fails, Haotian Media will not suffer a major loss of strength and vitality.

"Yes, Director Zhang can contact the screenwriting department, director department and other departments after the meeting." Li Hao nodded slightly and agreed.The meeting lasted until six o'clock and then ended.

This includes personnel appointments and dismissals.

Some people were poached, some wanted to start a business, and some were demoted or fired.

Naturally, some people will be promoted to new positions.

Iron tents, flowing soldiers.

Even for Haotian Media, people still come and go every year. There is no year where there is only entry and no exit.

Li Hao won't be angry at the people who left. From his position, it doesn't matter who is in which position, as long as someone is qualified for the job.

Some people may feel that their talents are not appreciated.

In fact, I have never thought that the so-called talent is not recognized, it is just what I think, maybe in fact he has no talent.

After so many years, Haotian Media's talent construction has been quite perfect, and there will be no chance that the company will not be able to operate if a few people are poached.

That night, Li Hao did not go back to the courtyard, but stayed at Qingcuiyuan Villa.

After all, tomorrow morning, I have to attend the groundbreaking ceremony of Haotian Media Center.

However, he did not go back directly to Qingcuiyuan Villa, but went to a hotel first.

In the hotel suite, a girl wearing a kimono looked a little restrained.

It was a long night, so Li Hao would not drink wine alone.

The girl "Beiqiao Ai" poured wine for Li Hao and looked at him secretly.

She became popular on TikTok in Japan last year. She became a trainee when she was in the third grade of elementary school, but she had not yet debuted. She filmed a dance on TikTok and unexpectedly became popular, attracting millions of followers.

She has been to Treasure Island, but this is her first time on the mainland.

In fact, ever since she received the film appointment invitation from Haotian Media, she always felt dizzy and asked her agent many times in a row, had she really been selected?

After all, she is just a 20-year-old girl, a pure newcomer, but she was chosen by director Li Hao to play the role of the anthropomorphic Tomoko in "The Three-Body Problem". This is really a good thing like pie in the sky!
In fact, even her agency was deeply surprised. After all, Kitahashi Ai is a complete newcomer in the Japanese entertainment industry and has not even had a TV series, let alone a movie.

The result is now good, and he was chosen by Li Hao.

Li Hao, not to mention very famous in China, is also a very famous director in Japan.

Being favored by Li Hao means that he will soar to the sky.

So when she set off to China, the president of the economic company specifically approached Beiqiao Ai and told her that if the other party had any requirements, she should try her best to satisfy them.

Beiqiao Ai remained silent. Although she had just debuted, she was not a white rabbit. She understood what the president and manager meant, and how rare this opportunity was.

"The Three-Body Problem" is famous and has many fans all over the world.

Even if she participates in it, even if she is not the heroine, even if she plays a role, by the time the movie is released, she will be able to become an international superstar in the domestic entertainment circle. By then, whether she develops in China or stays in Japan is much stronger than it is now.

To put it mildly, as long as she finishes filming the movie "The Three-Body Problem", even if "The Three-Body Problem" has not yet been released, after the news is confirmed and she returns to Japan, some film crews will offer her a high salary to play the heroine.

Instead of being like now, she can only act cute on TikTok to stay popular, but no TV series or movie is willing to invite her to participate in even one role.
