Reborn Entrepreneurial Giant

Qu Li discussed with his team for a long time in Yangcheng, but none of them are professionals in the garment and textile industry. The shortcomings in this area must be resolved, especially textile raw materials. During the rise of Uniqlo, Toray has contributed to this company They provide an exclusive service that almost integrates the R\u0026D and production processes, which is extremely rare in the world.

With good new materials, there is an exclusive advantage, which is competitiveness. Isn’t the reason why Samsung and Huawei stand out in the Android camp because they have their own solutions for core components and have unique competitive advantages?

"The material problem cannot be solved in a short time. If there is no better choice, then choose cotton and hemp!" Just check and you will know that cotton is the king of fabrics, and hemp has great potential and is more eco-friendly. , with the large-scale lifting of the ban abroad, hemp is an excellent textile material, and this industry is destined to flourish.

Qu Li was discussing the future of Wanhehei in Yangcheng. "Comet" ended its domestic screening, and the final box office reached an astonishing 48 million, surpassing Dragon and Tiger Gate starring Donnie Yen, and became the second highest box office in 2006 after "Huo Yuanjia". "The domestic film.

This is undoubtedly a great benefit for Huayi. Not only is the box office a hit, but it has also gained two excellent directors. Even if Qu Li is excluded, there is still Ning Hao. With unexpected gains, of course I want to celebrate.

Not sure if he would make movies in the future, Qu Li didn't want to offend Huayi, so he rushed to Yanjing before the celebration banquet, and had to discuss with Huayi about overseas distribution.

"Colombia is a very good platform. Deputy Chen Guo was the director of the Asia region." The Wang brothers wanted to save trouble, but Qu Li didn't want to waste it.

"How about we make an English-dubbed promotional video and put it on YouTube. This website has a lot of viewers now, and maybe some American filmmakers will pay attention."

"It's not that I'm dissatisfied with Columbia, but it's difficult for them to give a reasonable price. "Comet" has almost no cultural barriers. Even if they remake it, it's just this effect. It's better to find a professional voice actor and let it be released in mainstream theaters." Online release." At this time, Qu Li remembered "The Man From Earth". This sci-fi film, which has no special effects and is driven by conversation, has earned 350 million box office worldwide. "Comet" is even better than it, so it may not be impossible Global box office.

"You want to release it in mainstream theaters in North America?" Wang Zhongjun knew what Qu Li was thinking, and he also agreed with what Qu Li said, but a Chinese film without the blessing of a big-name star was released in a mainstream theater in North America. It's ridiculous.

"This film is low-cost, less investment, and a rare opportunity. I don't know that there will be such an opportunity in the future."

After "The Man From Earth", there seems to be no soft sci-fi movie with a box office of over 100 million in North America. It can be said that "This Man" is the swan song. Some people say that "Comet" is equal to "This Man" plus "Cruise of Horror".

Moreover, Qu Li made some changes to "Comet", reducing the time for foreplay and giving more hints, which are relatively easy to understand, but you can't see it unless you look carefully. Judging from the feedback from domestic audiences, the effect of the changes should be considered relatively good.

"Columbia doesn't look down on such low-budget films. You can find Lionsgate, Summit and Weinstein Films." Although the director of Columbia's Asian region is not a big deal, Chen Guofu understands the rules of the game in Hollywood better.

"Do you want to sell the copyright all at once, or do you want to distribute it as an agent?"

"It's best to issue it as an agent. If there is enough restraint, it is acceptable to pay part of the publicity fee in advance."

"This will cost a lot of money for publicity."

"I don't know if it's worth it, but such a film without cultural barriers should be rare."

Because it is a low-budget movie, and we know that the filming only took a week, Huayi only wants the domestic distribution rights of "Comet", and now they are willing to participate in overseas distribution. It is interesting enough. You need to know what overseas distribution domestic film companies can have. ability? There is no need to give Huayi a share if you sell overseas copyrights directly.

However, overseas distribution is very risky, and the two sides have not reached an agreement, but the celebration banquet will still be held. On this occasion, Qu Li will not say anything depressing, and accepts all kinds of congratulations more calmly. Through this movie, he once again completed the transformation of his identity. From an entrepreneur to an actor to being recognized as a director now, the whole process is full of fantasy.

The crew members of "Night Banquet" came to congratulate. They were about to start publicity. Director Xiaogang didn't feel overbearing at all, but he didn't have much enthusiasm either.

"Your movie is not bad, but your own level is not as good..."

These words are so straightforward, Qu Li felt uncomfortable when he first heard them, but this is the truth, a layman can make a movie that surpasses the original version, he has done well enough. So Qu Li was not discouraged at all, let alone angry, and his mentality quickly calmed down.

"Director Xiaogang said that I will work hard in the future." But the direction of my efforts may not necessarily be to become an excellent director.

Other actors will not be as rude as director Xiaogang. Whether the movie is good or not is one thing. Whether the box office is high or not is the embodiment of an actor's commercial value. After shooting two blockbuster movies in a row, Huang Bo and Xu Zheng became famous, and Sun Honglei seemed to become a new first-line actor in China. The beauty of Xiao Taohong in a vest was amazing, and Qu Li was far more than the only one who benefited.

Being able to act in such a movie is a dream opportunity for the younger generation of domestic actors. The most direct manifestation is that the salary will increase many times, which is a real benefit.

Some actors approached him to chat about movies, some actors approached him to chat about companies, and some simply got to know each other and formed a good relationship. There were also a few unknown young actors who gave him a room card. You said he would eat or not, of course not. Qu Li was not so hungry. In other words, he doesn't have the ability to resist risks yet, and he can't eat casually when he can't figure out the situation.

"This is a sci-fi movie without cultural barriers. Two of my short sci-fi stories have been played 10 million times on the YouTube video platform in the United States, and the third video has been uploaded for more than 500,000 times. If I publish a "Comet" "The promotional video should have more than 1 million on-demand views."

"This video site called YouTube in the United States already has over 20 million users and hundreds of millions of views every day." Qu Li continued to add that he didn't expect YouTube's dividends to be so easy.

It may be that there are not many high-quality videos now. Chen Shijun, the founder of YouTube, even sent him an email to encourage him, and the relationship was established in this way.
