Chapter 324

The popularity of the song "The Tuner" is still rising.

Li Qingxian's fans became more and more excited as they watched.

"Mr. Li was praised by the famous director from the beautiful country!"

"@Mr. Li, come and see, a famous director is here and wants to work with you. He wants to work with you."

"Oh my god, Teacher Li is really going to be famous this time!"

"I looked it up on the Internet and found that many famous foreign directors gave high praise to The Piano Tuner. It's amazing!"

"That Korean director is so shameless that he actually said he had already thought of the story."

"Haha, don't you know how shameless you Koreans are? They created everything."

"The number of hits on the i-station has exceeded 15 million, and it is invincible!"

"I have to earn more. This week, I want to reach 20 million!"

"Haha, Mr. Li has dominated the headlines of iStation for several days. We should all respect other people's choices."

"Professor Li: I'd love to, but I don't have the ability."

Li Qingxian took one look and quickly replied:
Li Qingxian: "That's not what I meant, don't talk nonsense!"

"Hahaha, Professor Li came out to clarify."

"Fuck! Professor Li is still alive!"

"Master Ball!" A familiar voice sounded.

"Oh my god, Professor Li discovered my name. I'm so happy!"

"Mr. Li, look at me. I want to marry you and have children for you."

……

Even Li Qingxian had never expected that "The Piano Tuner" would have such a huge international response.

Because this video is not fully restored.

When editing, he added his own understanding and perspective.

But now it seems...

The result this time far exceeded his expectations.

However, although most people are praising this film.

Some people were also sarcastic about this.

Take Korea for example.

They have clearly arrived in another world, but they still act as if everything was created by them.

Li Qingxian on the side couldn't help but shook his head and chuckled.

Some people will never change no matter where they go.

This is so shameless!

Just as Li Qingxian was brushing his teeth, there was a knock on the door.

He opened the door and saw two unfamiliar faces.

"Uh, Professor Li, hello."

"My name is Yu Shilin, and this is the editor-in-chief of Sanjiang Newspaper, Hong Yunxiang."

Li Qingxian: “???”

Sanjiang Literature and Art Publishing House?
"It's the editor-in-chief. Please come in."

Seeing Li Qingxian so enthusiastic, the two editors also breathed a sigh of relief.

And they had never seen this Mr. Li before.

However, judging from the Internet, Li Qingxian's personality does not seem to be very good.

When the Luda Literature Award came up, he could have fought back on the spot!

At first, she found Professor Li difficult to talk to.

However, judging from the current situation, this does not seem to be the case.

Li Qingxian came over with tea: "Why are you two here?"

Yu Shilin smiled and said, "We are here to visit Professor Li, and by the way, I want to ask you, do you have any plans to publish a book recently?"

"Open a new book?" Liu Zhao was stunned for a moment. Li Qingxian shook his head, "You can see that I am thinking about writing a new work now, so I don't want to publish a new work yet."

Suddenly, Li Qingxian's phone rang.

Li Qingxian stood up, picked up his cell phone and left.

The caller ID showed that it was an investor.

"Professor Li, I've heard of your name. Have you ever thought about making a commercial blockbuster? If you have any objections, let's have a good talk."

"Want to invest?"

"Haha, we don't accept anything. As long as there is something good, we must have something good. Mr. Li, you should understand, right?"

"Okay, let's meet."

"Well, I'd love to meet Mr. Lee."

call ended.

Li Qingxian was about to leave when her phone rang again.

Thirty minutes later.

Li Qingxian's cell phone was always on call.

One after another, there is no time to breathe.

Moreover, all the people who called were investors who wanted to invest in him!

Many advertising companies also called him and said they wanted to reserve a position for him.

Wait for Li Qingxian to return to the room.

Yu Shilin, Hong Yunxiang and others also congratulated him.

"Mr. Li, that's great, great!"

"Haha, Professor Li, congratulations first."

Li Qingxian shook his head and said modestly: "It's not that popular, just a little progress."

But he was also very happy.

In this way, there will be more investors and advertisers, and the funding problem will be easily solved.

Then, he can start his film career.

Of course, he also hopes to invest himself in this film.

In this way, when this movie becomes famous, I can get more from the box office share.

But he didn't have enough capital, so he just continued to wait.

After sending away the two editors-in-chief, Li Qingxian fell into deep thought.

What kind of movie is this?

After thinking for a long time, he typed two big words on the notebook.

This is "Wolf Warrior"!

This was something Li Qingxian had thought of a long time ago.

If you want to remake it, then remake it.

"Wolf Warrior" was also a project he had his eyes on at the beginning.

But how easy is it to remake "Wolf Warrior"?
At that time, Wu Jing was filming a very famous movie.

But it took seven years and exhausted all my energy.

It was because of this that he joined the army and stayed there for eighteen months!
He trained with other special forces and even set many real training records.

He knew very well that it would be too difficult to adapt "Wolf Warrior" into a half-baked movie.

It will inevitably end in failure.

He stayed indoors for two days, thinking.

Finally, he took out his cell phone and dialed Liu Yifei's number.

……

"What? You want to participate in special forces training?"

Liu Yifei:?? ?

What exactly is going on?

It's just a movie shoot, is it necessary to go to the special forces for training?

This is a fight to the death!

But seeing Li Qingxian's determined look, she had no choice but to ask, "How long will you be gone?"

"I don't know, maybe one year at the shortest and two years at the longest."

Liu Yifei: “…”

This still took several years?
After a pause, she said sternly, "Li Qingxian, do you understand how important a year is to a star?"

"A year later, it's very likely that when you make a comeback, no one will know you. Your fame, your traffic, and your value will plummet. Do you understand?"

These days, people are just people.

No actor can still be popular a year later.

What's more, she has been away from the entertainment industry for a whole year.

But Li Qingxian's answer was firm and decisive.

"I understand." Su Yiyun nodded.

Two simple words.

But Liu Yifei knew very well that once he said this, there would be no turning back.

"Alas." Chu Feng sighed. Liu Yifei sighed, "Okay, then you go first. When you come back, I'm afraid that few people will invest money in you."

Li Qingxian smiled slightly: "It doesn't matter. If it really doesn't work, I'll figure it out on my own."

Liu Yifei hung up the phone, but never put it down.

Just staring into the distance blankly for a long time.

……

Li Qingxian's trip this time happened to be to the special forces training base where he had gone with the Shuguang filming team.

The last time, he spent it in training camp.

From the two bottles, he got the phone number of a soldier.

However, when he proposed to join the special forces, he was rejected outright.

Not everyone can join the army.

At the beginning, the people from Shuguang Company just went to the marginal area and served as special forces for a period of time.

He didn't even step into the military zone.

But this time, Li Qingxian couldn't even get close.

However, Li Qingxian did not give up.

He told the officer about his idea, which was to shoot "Wolf Warrior".

When the official saw it, he was shocked.

When he thought of the scene on the big screen, he couldn't help but shudder.

So the officer sent the manuscript to the military that night.

Another three days passed.

The door of the base finally opened, and the people above welcomed him in.

He was also given special treatment, allowing him to train here like ordinary special forces.

Until he left on his own initiative.

……

Two years flew by.

Liu Yifei was sitting in the conference hall of a high-rise building, holding a meeting.

Suddenly, the phone rang.

She took a glance and was stunned.

"Mr. Liu, Mr. Liu? It's time for a meeting now."

Liu Yifei finally reacted and stood up from her chair. "The meeting has been postponed for more than half an hour. In this case, we will wait until tomorrow to have the meeting. I have something else to do, so I will leave first."

Leaving this sentence, Liu Yifei left in a hurry.

Everyone, look at me, and I'll look at you.

"what happened?"

"I am not sure as well."

"Is there something urgent?"

"Is there anything that could be more important than a meeting?"

"Don't tell me that Mr. Liu has a girlfriend."

"Humph! We are a company, we can't talk nonsense."

……

Liu Yifei hurried back to the company, picked up her mobile phone and dialed a number.

Two years...

It's been two years.

She took a deep breath and tried to make her tone calm.

"Hello..." A familiar voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Sister Fei, I haven't seen you for a while."

"Yeah, it's been quite a while."

"You're here? Do you want to have dinner together?"

“Well, where are you now?
"Haha, no need. I'm near Shicha Alley. There's a dumpling shop there. Come over."

"Okay, I'll be there right away."

Liu Yifei put down her phone and let out a long sigh.

After two years, Li Qingxian's voice is still the same as before.

What's more, his favorite is the wontons sold on the roadside.

But now her status has changed greatly.

She shook her head and walked out of the office.

……

In the alley.

Li Qingxian was holding a bowl of wontons and eating it with relish.

Soon, a luxury car drove over, attracting a lot of people's attention.

A very beautiful woman got out of the car.

A pair of white and tender thighs, tightly wrapped in a pair of black stockings, and a capable OL outfit, give people a cool feeling.

It gives people a feeling of being kept at a distance.

Many passers-by were stunned by this scene.

"Oh my god! So beautiful!"

"This car must be worth at least 10 million!"

"Damn, with your long legs, do you really need to drive? Aren't you just that useless?"

"If I could have a girlfriend like this, my life would be worthwhile!"

Li Qingxian looked at the screen and suddenly laughed:
"Sister Fei, why are you here? You look like a young lady dressed like this."

Liu Yifei glanced at her and said, "You are dark."

Li Qingxian ate the noodle soup and smiled: "There's nothing we can do about it. I have to exercise every day, so it's inevitable that I'll get tanned by the sun."

Li Qingxian used to have a fairer complexion.

Looks like a pretty boy.

His skin color is wheat-colored.

His body also became stronger.

Even a loose short-sleeved T-shirt cannot hide his taut muscles.

Liu Yifei smiled and said, "This is more manly. Boss, give me a serving of dumplings."

"Okay!" the shopkeeper responded.

"Sister Fei, what are you doing?" Li Qingxian looked at Sister Fei and said with confusion.

"I just run a small company to make a living." Liu Yifei said indifferently.

"Oh~" Li Qingxian hummed, and then said: "Well, I plan to make a play myself. Here is the script. Sister Fei, do you want to invest in it?"

Thirty minutes later.

Li Qingxian hung up the phone dejectedly.

He called all the investors he had contacted before.

There are also several large companies that have also contacted us.

Unfortunately, most people did not agree.

In the end, there was still an investor who wanted to invest again.

However, the investment this time is only 500,000.

For an entrepreneur, 500,000 yuan is enough to start a small company.

But for a movie, that's just a drop in the bucket.

"Alas." Chu Feng sighed.

In desperation, he took out his credit card and looked at his account.

Although he has not appeared in public for the past two years.

However, Sanjiang Art Company remains trustworthy.

Every month, his royalties are deposited into his card on time.

So far, his income is less than 25,000.

And he currently has 1981 million in his account.

Among this, he earned almost 1000 million through live streaming.

The remaining millions are his own works.

Li Qingxian was stunned.

The movie "Fortress Besieged" earned him nearly 10 million yuan.

But 1981 million is far from enough to make "Wolf Warrior".

After thinking it over, he called Yin Pingqing, the person in charge of the newspaper.

It was Li Qingxian who called, and Yin Pingqing was very happy. "Mr. Li? You finally called me!"

"Um, sorry, I've been busy lately."

"Oh! I see, Mr. Li, you came to me because you have any new plans?"

In the past two years, Yin Pingqing has been looking forward to more new works from Li Qingxian.

With Li Qingxian's excellent writing skills, he is also a famous figure in the literary world.

If he came out with a new novel, it would be a huge hit!

He had considered this a long time ago.

When Li Qingxian publishes a book, he will definitely put up all the advertisements!

It’s a pity that Li Qingxian has been missing for two years.

Even Yin Pingqing's enthusiasm for him had faded a lot.

"Uh... not really. I'm preparing to film a movie these days, so I just wanted to ask Editor-in-Chief Yin, what do you think?"

"Investment?" I was stunned.

Yin Pingqing's expression was a little strange.

"I'm sorry, Mr. Li, we don't do any commercial activities."

"This is not what I'm looking for, Editor-in-Chief Yin. If you agree, I can give you a larger share."

"..."

Yin Pingqing: “…”

After a long while, Yin Pingqing shook his head and said, "I'm sorry, Professor Li, my family is not well off, and I'm afraid I don't have that much money to invest."

……

Time passes slowly.

Li Qingxian racked his brains to think of a countermeasure.

He has come into contact with many investors and advertisers.

However, most people rejected him.

Compared to an outdated star, it is better to invest in a few small stars.

He also contacted several old acquaintances.

For example, those big directors or first-line stars.

But the result was still rejected.

In the end, he didn't know what to do and simply lent the money to the bank.

After all, if it's a good movie, it will definitely make a profit.

But when he looked around, he didn't see his house or car.

Even if you take it to a bank, there may not be anyone willing to lend it to you.

"Alas." Chu Feng sighed.

He flipped through his address book.

The only one missing is Sister Fei.

He hesitated for a long time before pressing the answer button.

……

Liu Yifei's eyes lit up and she stared at the manuscript in her hand.

"So, you went to the special forces training base specifically just to shoot this film?" Liu Yifei asked.

Li Qingxian nodded and said, "We have already decided to do this theme. We can't just fool around. We have to have some form, right?"

Liu Yifei looked Li Qingxian up and down.

She suddenly felt that she couldn't figure out the other person.

She was actually willing to sacrifice two years of her life to go to the training camp to film.

These two years are enough for an actor.

Is Li Qingxian really not worried at all? Will she no longer be popular in two years?

Liu Yifei asked again: "How many more are missing?"

Li Qingxian hesitated for a moment and said, "About 70 million."

"7000 million???" Liu Yifei was confused: "Then your play is gold level?"

You know, these days, even a commercial film would cost tens of millions.

More than 10 million, just a blockbuster movie.

Seventy million, is this going to compete with Haolaiwu?

Li Qingxian chuckled: "This is just a small number. Maybe 70 million may not be enough."

Liu Yifei frowned and asked, "Do you want to find some younger ones?"

The current entertainment industry is completely an era where "fans are supreme".

Some young artists are very famous.

There is no acting, and no good plot.

As long as they participate in a movie, the popularity of the movie will definitely not be low.

It is also because of this that the value of today’s young actors is constantly increasing.

Some popular young actors can earn tens of millions of dollars in salary a year.

Li Qingxian's budget was so high, and she first thought that Li Qingxian might be spending money, so he found so many big internet celebrities.

"Looking for someone new?" Li Qingxian looked at Liu Yifei with a smile on his face. "Sister Fei, do you think I am that kind of person?"

Staring deeply into Li Qingxian's eyes, Liu Yifei cried out, "So, you really want to spend a lot of money?"

If it were someone else, they could easily spend some money to poach some young hunk.

But, if it was Li Qingxian...

Even if I beat her to death, she wouldn't believe it.

Li Qingxian nodded, "I do have some savings, but it's still not enough. I asked someone for help and only managed to get more than one million."

"I plan to go to the bank in the next two days and lend them the money."

When Liu Yifei heard that Li Qingxian wanted to borrow money, she immediately became interested.

"Do you think your new film will be a big hit?"

"I don't know either, but I'll try my best."

"No way to escape?"

"Kill without mercy."

The two fell into a long silence.

Finally, Liu Yifei smiled bitterly: "This is the first time I see you so serious."

Li Qingxian: “…”

Liu Yifei said, "Okay, I'll pay the 70 million. If you need anything in the future, just let me know. I'll do my best as long as I can."

"Ah?" Li Qingxian was confused. "Sister Fei, what did you just say? 70 million?"

"If you think it's expensive, I'll make it cheaper."

"Uh... not much, I don't have much! By the way, Sister Fei, how do you have so much money?"

In his mind, Sister Fei is just a manager, right?

Although he is the company's top agent and his salary is not low.

But 70 million, it's impossible to get it for him all at once, right?
Liu Yifei rolled her eyes and said, "Don't worry about this. Just focus on filming and don't trip me up."

You must not lie to me!
This sentence sounds ordinary, but Li Qingxian can clearly feel its weight.

He was still in a daze as he walked along.

Over the past month, he has been busy attracting investment and running around everywhere.

In the end, he raised about $100 million.

Just going out with Sister Fei once, 70 million yuan of funds were spent just like that?
This is simply a fantasy!
When you get home.

He really couldn't contain his curiosity.

He entered a few keywords on Baidu: Liu Yifei.

However, this search made Li Qingxian completely confused.

Liu Yifei, a native of Beijing, is a graduate student at the Beijing Film Academy and the daughter of Liu Zishao, president of Liu Group. She was once the chief agent of Fengmao Entertainment and later resigned as president of Liu Group.

Li Qingxian was confused.

"Sister Fei, are you okay?"

Could it be Liu?
Could she be Liu Zishao’s daughter?
President?

What exactly is going on?

How did Sister Fei become the eldest daughter of the Liu family?
He quickly looked up the name of the Liu Group on the Internet.

But what surprised him was...

This is one of the largest companies in the country!
That's a good omen!

He suddenly remembered one thing.

He once had a few words with Sister Fei.

Sister Fei seemed to have said that she had some savings.

But I know that as the daughter of the president of Liu Group, her savings must be more than that.

That’s hundreds of millions of savings!
So Sister Fei is just a rich kid who came here to experience life?

How could such a thing happen?
Li Qingxian was lying on the hospital bed, his face full of confusion.

But he knew that he would never have to worry about his pay again.

……

At this time, Liu Yifei had already returned to the Liu family.

Then he called the Finance Department.

Not long after, the financial director arrived.

Liu Yifei asked again: "How much money can the company currently provide?"

The CFO thought it was the CEO who was checking, and immediately said, "Between 20 and 30 million."

Liu Yifei frowned: "Why are there only a few people?"

"It's like this. Liu Group has just signed a cooperation agreement with a large real estate company and is preparing to expand its production scale."

"That's enough." Liu Yifei raised her hand to stop him, "You can go now. Call my assistant for me."

The Chancellor responded and turned to leave.

After a while, her secretary came in.

Liu Yifei threw a bunch of keys and a piece of paper to him: "Please help me deal with this apartment. It is for urgent sale at the lowest price now. I will send you the account number later."

"Yes, Mr. Liu." The assistant nodded.

……

Another week has passed.

A transfer message of 130 million was sent to Li Qingxian's account.

He was slightly startled and immediately dialed Liu Yifei's number.

"Sister Fei, didn't you say the price was 70 million? You——"

"Seventy million is still an understatement, right? This should be fine."

"Haha, Sister Fei, you are so nice! Where are you now? I will go there with the contract right away."

"No, I still have some things to take care of here. Just call me when you start preparing for the shoot."

"Uh, I know."

Li Qingxian put down his phone, couldn't help but sigh and shook his head.

Have a look.

Take a look!

Lee for courage?

A huge order worth 1.3 million yuan was given to them immediately without any rush to sign the contract.

what happened?

[Really, relying on billions to get close to people]!
This is true.

With Liu Yifei's current wealth, 130 million is not a problem for her at all.

Now the funds are secured.

All that’s left is to build a team.

……

The first thing Li Qingxian did was to call Cai Zimang, the original executive producer of "Dawn".

He is alone.

To shoot a movie, you need a crew.

This is a big problem.

All team members have to start over again.

Instead of forming a new team yourself, it is better to directly poach an existing team.

On the blue planet, it’s basically just one show after another, and then everyone goes their separate ways.

But here, there is a special program group.

It is equivalent to a studio that assists producers in shooting film and television works.

Cai Zimang was very surprised to receive this news.

"Are you planning on filming?"

"Yeah." Liu Zhao responded.

"No problem, but I want to know your budget, whether you have a script, and when it can be completed."

"I made a budget of 140 million, had a complete story, and it would be completed in about ten months."

"Ah, 140 million, with drama, ten, eh? Eh? Hmm? How much are you going to spend?"

"1.4 million." Liu Zhao said.

"Alright, alright, Director Li, when are we going to recruit people? I'll go with you."

"..."

……

Money is a god.

This is not without reason.

When Cai Zimang heard the number 140 million, he was completely stunned.

Without saying a word, he directly brought his team to Li Qingxian's side.

The place where Li Qingxian originally lived was not very big.

But now, with so many people, there is no place to sit.

Li Qingxian pondered for a moment and said, "How about we just build a studio ourselves?"

Cai Zimang agreed immediately.

Naturally he had no objection.

Once you set up your own studio, it becomes part of your own business.

As long as they become a part of the company, the company will provide them with the most basic treatment.

Cai Zimang had already had his own idea, which was to set up his own studio with these people.

It's a pity that he doesn't have that much money.

I can't do it even if I want to.

"But, what should the new studio be called?" Cai Zimang looked at Li Yida next to him.

Li Qingxian pondered for a moment and said, "How is Li Fei's studio?"

Hearing this, Cai Zimang's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "What a good name!"

Jin Mingjun looked confused and said quickly, "What's good?"

"That's a good idea." Cai Zimang pondered for a moment, "It's a good name."

Jin Mingjun rolled his eyes unhappily and said, "Stop talking nonsense!"

In fact, Li Qingxian didn’t think so much at all.

Because he opened this store, and most of the funds were provided by Sister Fei.

Li Fei's studio is really fair!

Jin Mingjun asked, "Mr. Li, I heard that your play has been completed. Can I take a look at it?"

Li Qingxian nodded immediately: "Okay, you don't have to ask, I was thinking of looking for you. I'm not very capable, so when it comes to that, I'll rely on you."

He still remembers the story of Wolf Warrior very clearly.

However, watching a play and writing a script are different.

He just drew a rough outline of the plot.

The finishing work naturally has to be done by professionals.

Li Fei's studio was born in this way.

Now, all they have to do is modify the plot, recruit actors, purchase equipment, and then they can start filming.

All the details were handled by Jin Mingjun.

Li Qingxian agreed with the editor-in-chief's statement.

Li Qingxian has a deep memory of the plot of "I Am a Special Forces Soldier".

But after that, he met Bao Jiangming.

It completely changed the plot.

It seems that being a screenwriter is not easy.

When the audience has opinions about the script, the first thing they criticize is the script.

However, they don’t know that all this is because they have no other choice.

Director Cai was responsible for selecting all the equipment.

After all, Director Cai is an expert in this field.

Then comes the selection of personnel.

Li Qingxian is going to do it himself.

When Li Qingxian chooses an artist, the only criterion is:
Buy the right one, not the expensive one!

Cai Zimang has a wide network of contacts, so he found several second- and third-tier celebrities with relatively high popularity to come for the interview.

Among them are popular young actors like Xing Zesheng.

However, Li Qingxian was excluded from all the auditions.

This play is really badly acted!
