The king of all people

Chapter 202 In Those Years, The Girl We Chased Together
"Yes." Li Xian affirmed Xiao Yun's question, nodded and said, "I have already started preparing the script for the past few days, and I should be able to start the pre-production work for filming after a while."

Xiao Ruichao and Yang Yang on the side were stunned for a long time, and they never expected that Li Xian would do so many things quietly in private.Xiao Yun was also a little surprised at Li Xian's efficiency, and then asked: "But Xiao Xian, let's not talk about the hurdle of filming, but the initial investment and later release will cause a series of problems."

Indeed, although he played a supporting role in the high-grossing film "Shaolin Soccer", Li Xian is still a low-profile man with insufficient achievements in the film industry.At best, because of his popularity, many scripts and films have sent him contract invitations, but this does not mean that these people will continue to buy after he himself takes the role of director.

It's not that Li Xian himself hasn't thought about this issue.Firstly, making a film requires funds, and judging from his experience in the film industry, generally no investor is willing to spend a lot of money and take high risks to invest in a film he directs. After all, no one can guarantee his own What kind of works will the director produce...

On the other hand, after the movie is released, it will inevitably face problems such as theater scheduling and publicity methods, and Li Xian plans to take care of this movie on his own, which means that he plans to separate from the two brokerage companies to produce this movie, so what will happen to the theaters? It is not certain that he will not arrange a film for him, or whether the film will be released.

Therefore, Li Xian has locked the scope of director Virgo on low-budget films. Of course, he also wants to make blockbuster films with full of special effects and sensational effects, but he himself does not have enough funds or technology in place.Even if he really made a movie comparable to domestic and foreign blockbusters, the audience might not believe him...

So, after watching two low-cost and high-return domestic films "33 Days of Broken Love" and "To Our Dying Youth" in the astrology system that day, Li Xian came up with the idea of ​​shooting a main youth love film .Although in the era of 01 and 02, there was no big hit or even a precedent for this kind of theme, but it is precisely this lack of similar competitors that makes it easier for movies with this theme to emerge.

In the end, Li Xian set his goal on the 2011 campus pure love movie "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years" that swept across Taiwan, Taiwan and Taiwan...

As someone who has been reborn in 2014, Li Xian knows better than anyone the stormy response this movie caused when it came out that year.

This is a typical youth love movie. The whole movie tells the love story between Ke Jingteng and Shen Jiayi... As one of the phenomenal movies in the domestic film market in 2011, there are no big-name stars in this work, no Famous directors, even the investment is only a handful of figures...

然而，电影上映之后却彻彻底底颠覆了所有人的眼球。电影于2011年8月19日在台湾地区率先上映，并在短短的时间内豪取了1亿7746万元台币的巅峰及票房收入。

Even after it was released in the mainland on January 12, 6, after breaking through the impact of piracy and other issues, it still achieved a remarkable result of nearly 8000 million soft sister coins, creating a box office record for a Taiwanese movie in the mainland...

You must know that many full-length videos and pirated versions have been circulated on the Internet for more than a few months. If there were no troubles from these factors, the box office of this movie in the Mainland would have doubled several times.

At the same time, this film not only made the two protagonists Ke Zhendong and Michelle Chen popular, but also did not lag behind in terms of word-of-mouth. It was shortlisted for the Golden Horse Film Awards and won the Best Cross-Strait Chinese Film Award at the 31st Hong Kong Film Awards. honor.

Of course, the reason why Li Xian chose this work as his directorial debut is not only because of its impressive achievements, but more importantly, he himself was deeply moved by the story narrated in the film.Everyone has had a period of lingering youth, and everyone's youthful memory also has a Ke Jingteng or Shen Jiayi.

Xiao Ruichao recovered from his sluggishness at this moment, smiled wryly and said, "Boss, making a movie is not that simple... If there is no box office in the future, you will have to pay for all the money you invested, maybe Huayi will pay you back." I won't agree with you to shoot, after all, your acting contract is still in Huayi."

Li Xian glanced at Xiao Ruichao thoughtfully, and he didn't expect that he would be thoughtful when he is usually idle: "Yes, making a movie is not an easy matter... So, I need everyone to work hard with me, this time EMI Didn't you mean that you plan to hide me in the snow? Let's use the contract first to imply the meaning of fake job-hopping. As for Huayi, this method can also be used..."

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yun shook her head this time and said, "Xiaoxian, we can hint them about the contract, but I think if you want to make a movie, you might as well ask Huayi for help. The ability to publicize and distribute has been accumulated for many years. After all, I have stayed in Huayi for so many years, why don't I try to walk around the company more and persuade them to give you some investment or something?"

Xiao Yun's idea is that Li Xian is still an artist of Huayi Brothers, so he might as well make use of the company's resources and strength. Once Huayi agrees to invest in his film or be responsible for publicity, some shooting and release issues will follow closely. It's easy to solve.

At this time, Li Xian smiled mysteriously and said: "Sister Yun, you are right, if Huayi promises to give us some help, the production of this movie will indeed go smoothly... However, businessmen are after profits. Well, I want to leave the company and shoot my own movie, which means that they basically won't get any benefits, and they will definitely not agree to our request.

"It's better to ask for help than to ask for yourself. Anyway, the cost of this movie is not big, and we can do it ourselves. Besides, when I signed Huayi, I explained that I would join in the form of a studio. Even if they were dissatisfied with our actions, most of them would not I have no right to intervene." Li Xian seemed to have a well-thought-out plan, as if he really cared about it.

At this time, the three of them also gave up the idea of ​​continuing to dissuade Li Xian. Xiao Yun stroked his forehead and said with some earnestness: "Xiao Xian, since you have made up your mind, Sister Yun will always support you. The decision to be your sole agent has already been made. If there is anything, or if there is anything in the company that needs me to lobby, you can just say it if you want to help. Although I, Xiao Yun, am not a gold agent, But in terms of connections, I still have a way.”

"And me and me! Brother Daxian, although it is difficult to make a movie by yourself, I will definitely go to more interesting places to shoot. I, Xiao Ruichao, can not only drive, but also do odd jobs! I can help fight against cameras and so on. ..." At this time, Xiao Ruichao resumed his hip-hop demeanor again, and started laughing logically.

Yang Yang is the person who has known Li Xian the longest and has the closest relationship among the three.He was already very familiar with Li Xian's character long ago, so he didn't say anything superfluous, but just patted Li Xian's shoulder very loyally and said: "Brother, I will always be by your side anyway~"

Li Xian was very moved by the uncomplaining support of the three people. After brewing his emotions, he also said something that warmed their hearts: "Thank you for your willingness to believe in me. Don't worry, the opportunity will not give up on our group. People who are prepared...I, Li Xian, don't have many friends who can make friends, and at this stage, there are not many people who can rely on and trust me..."

What Li Xian said was indeed from the bottom of his heart, but when he heard it in Xiao Ruichao's ears, his taste seemed to change a bit...

"Not many? Does that mean there are others? Well... let me guess, it must be Fan Bingbing, right? I knew that when you two were filming "Love Through Time and Space", something was not normal... "In fact, Li Xian and Fan Bingbing's private contacts on weekdays are all well-known to these three people, and Xiao Ruichao even directly identified Fan Bingbing as her future sister-in-law.

Xiao Ruizhun's words seemed to remind Li Xian that he was going to shoot "The Girl We Chased Together in Those Years", the heroine Shen Jiayi is very suitable to play the goddess Fan Bingbing in his mind...

Now Fan Bingbing has not yet become popular. Although he has accumulated a lot of popularity with "Love Through Time and Space", he still has no achievements in the film industry.In later generations, Fan Bingbing really became popular in China, becoming the goddess of the whole people seems to have started from a few literary films, and her public relations team began to focus on the marketing goal of creating "Fan Ye"...

Afterwards, Fan Bingbing's stunning looks at the red carpet ceremonies of several major international moving ceremonies captured her high attention and popularity, and her popularity gradually increased, eventually becoming one of the most popular actresses in the domestic entertainment industry .

Li Xian didn't know if Fan Bingbing was free in the latest schedule, so he made some calculations in his mind, and temporarily bid farewell to Xiao Yun and the three, ran to the compartment in the lounge, and dialed Fan Bingbing's number...

"Hello... Li Xian?" Fan Bingbing on the other end of the phone felt strange. It was already after 11 o'clock in the evening, and Li Xian found out that he must have something important to talk about.

"Well, it's me." Li Xian replied briefly, listening to the familiar and lazy voice on the phone, said: "Are you asleep? I'm planning to treat you to dinner. ..."

Li Xian faltered for a long time, but still didn't get to the point.
