726, invitation song
After talking about "I Am Not a God of Medicine", Mr. Lan smiled and said, "Since we don't have a celebration banquet, let's have a simple lunch and just treat it as a small-scale celebration. This is not unsuitable."
When Li Xiang saw both of them looking at him, he smiled and said, "I'll treat you and get up."
During the meal, Mr. Lan mentioned the new film intentionally or unintentionally. "I Am Not a God of Medicine" has not been released yet, but for the crew, the movie has ended, so are there any plans for a new film? Mr. Lan is very concerned about this.
After this successful cooperation, she hopes to continue working hard, seize the opportunity to cooperate with He Haoquan and Li Xiang, and go deeper.
Before this, Hualan Film and Television, which she led, had some cooperation with He Haoquan, but not much, and the cooperation was not deep. This time, she finally established such a good cooperative relationship and achieved such good results. Of course, we must further establish a relationship.
He Haoquan rubbed his temples and said, "I have to rest. I'm too tired. I can't bear it when I'm old."
Mr. Lan smiled and said, "Director He is only 30 years old and is very young and strong. It is the time when he is full of energy. The audience is looking forward to you very much."
With this movie "I Am Not a God of Medicine", He Haoquan further expanded his career and showed everyone that he is not only good at making comedy films, but also serious films are not too frustrated. At the same time, this makes everyone have great expectations for his next movie plan.
"But this is also a huge pressure. It is precisely because everyone's expectations are too great that I have to be very cautious. It is best to avoid the limelight first. Only when the market calms down can I calm down." He Haoquan said, "Also, Mr. Lan, I am not 30 years old, 35~"
Li Xiang agreed with his plan very much. At this time, what he feared most was that he was hot and he was quick to go, so that he would probably not be far from failure.
Now is not the time to talk about things seriously, so Mr. Lan smiled and didn't say much. She wanted to find another opportunity to talk to He Haoquan. She must participate in his new film.
"What about Li Xiang? Director He needs a break, do great writers also need it? Is there a good story script? You can write it first. The movie cannot be filmed for the time being, but the script can be studied and polished first." Mr. Lan asked Li Xiang again.
Li Xiang unscrewed the mineral water and poured a full glass into the glass. There was wine on the table, but he couldn't drink it.
"I didn't think about it. There are so many things in line now, and I don't have time for the time being."
He Haoquan asked curiously: "Are you planning a new album?"
Li Xiang's new album "Sister Li and Miss Li" still occupies a hot topic in Chinese entertainment at present, but you can consider the new song.
"There is no new album, but I'm writing a new book."
Li Xiang threw out a thrilling news, which shocked He Haoquan and Mr. Lan, but he didn't hear any sound in advance.
"Come on, let's talk about it, what new book? Your book "The Old Man and the Sea" is amazing and is very popular. Now we are starting to prepare for the new book?" He Haoquan asked. He is a fan of Li Xiang and a book fan. For someone who can make in-depth art films, he loves to read whether it is "The Old Man and the Sea" or "Love Life".
Mr. Lan also said: "My son likes your book very much. He bought all the three books you published. Not only did he buy them by himself, but he also gave one to everyone around him. I told him that he must be very happy when you are preparing a new book."
Li Xiang smiled and said, "Don't be anxious. Actually, it's not that fast. I just started writing. It's still far from finishing writing."
"Understand understanding." He Haoquan nodded repeatedly.
In fact, Li Xiang deliberately concealed the speed of writing. "The Little Prince" takes some time, but it won't take long. It should be finished in the end of October and early November. This fairy tale book is a novella with 295,000 words! "The Old Man and the Sea" which is also a novella is only 40,000 words!
"When this news is released, the literary world will definitely be shocked again. Everyone is discussing your "Old Man and the Sea", but you have already started working on a new book. If you know, you must be crazy." Mr. Lan smiled.
"What topic?" He Haoquan asked curiously.
"It's actually a fairy tale book that tells my little sisters' bedtime stories."
"ah?"
The surprise on He Haoquan and Mr. Lan’s faces could not be concealed. Fairy Tale Book? Is it right? Seeing Li Xiang’s serious face, it seems that it is right. It is indeed a fairy Tale Book.
"The Old Man and the Sea" is a very serious and orthodox pure literary work. Even if it is "I Am Not a God of Medicine", the script is just very serious. Why did the next book suddenly change its style and become a fairy tale?
A bedtime story told to the little sisters? Mr. Lan thought that Li Xiang had a pair of twin sisters. It is said that he was very fond of it. It seems that it is true. The bedtime story told to them will be compiled and published. But, is there really no problem with this? Is this really good? Will it affect his rapid rise?
President Lan was skeptical about Li Xiang's next plan, but she did not intend to persuade him. She and Li Xiang had not reached that level yet. She thought He Haoquan might say a few words, but he didn't expect that He Haoquan just sighed that Li Xiang's thoughts were wild and he could not think of them no matter how he thought about them.
"Then let's wish Li Xiang a great new book in advance and have a drink." Mr. Lan raised his glass and suggested with a smile.
...
After dinner, Mr. Lan returned to the company first, leaving Li Xiang and He Haoquan behind. The two of them came to a tea room and chatted while drinking tea.
Li Xiang didn't drink alcohol, but He Haoquan drank a lot, so he just took some tea to relieve his appetite.
He Haoquan is quite knowledgeable about drinking tea, but Li Xiang only knows a little bit, but he still listens to his grandfather when he is free.
The door in the small room was closed, and a pot of hot tea was raising smoke on the coffee table. He Haoquan said, "I have been talking before, I have a serious matter to ask for your help."
Li Xiang looked up at him and asked, "What's the matter?"
He Haoquan said: "National Day is coming soon. You may not know that I had the title of director in another movie."
He Haoquan first introduced it, and then said: "This movie is called "My Motherland and Me."
"I've heard of it, but I don't know it has something to do with you."
He Haoquan smiled bitterly: "The main theme movie is what the superiors ask for."
He pointed to the top of his head, and Li Xiang expressed his understanding. In the film and television industry, there will always be one or two such movies, producers, directors, and starring, all of which are scary, many and big, with a lot of talents and a bright star. If it is operated in a market-oriented manner, the actors' pay alone will be terrible, and no crew can afford it, but in fact there is no need to worry at all, because this is a zz task, and many actors even star in the film "My Motherland and Me" that He Haoquan is famous for now.
"This movie has been planned for a long time and started last year. I am one of the directors, and there are 7 directors like me, Chen Kai, and the managers, all of them are inside. Each of us shoots a short story and forms 7, and it becomes this movie."
"Now this movie is missing a theme song. The crew found me and wanted to ask you to create it. How about it? Are you interested? If you are not interested, I can help you reject it."
Li Xiang knew in his heart that He Haoquan meant that inviting him to write songs was not a zz task, but could be rejected.
The reason why the other party invited Li Xiang to write such a theme song is because Li Xiang is now famous and has strong originality, and the other is because he has written the main theme song "I Love Your Motherland".
"What kind of movie is this? What is the general plot?" Li Xiang did not rush to agree or refuse, but asked about the movie.
He Haoquan briefly introduced the plot of the movie. After listening to it, Li Xiang said: "I heard you say that, I think my song "I Love Your Motherland" is very suitable."
He Haoquan nodded and said, "Actually, I think so too, and I recommend it so well, but some people above disagree. They think that this year is special. The 70th birthday of the motherland, the movie is brand new and the theme song is the best, so that they can avoid the suspicion of leftovers. Of course, but it is not completely denied. If you don't find a suitable new song, I will use your "I Love Your Motherland" in the end."
Li Xiang did not agree or refuse, but asked: "When will you have to reply at the latest? I think back and think about it. This thing cannot be written just by wanting to write. It requires a creative process, and the most important thing is inspiration."
In fact, this thing is very simple, he just needs to search in his mind, but Li Xiang still follows the normal procedures and does not want to be too prominent.
He Haoquan is also an art creator. He agrees with Li Xiang's statement and said, "How about answering me in three days? It doesn't take three days to write a song, but there must be a clear answer."
