China Entertainment started from art school

Chapter 124 It's better to be the boss

Unlike the popularity of the song, the news that the film "Detective Chinatown" was not well funded spread in circles.

There is no way, there are only so many movies that apply for project approval every year; as an insider, if you can't even collect this bit of information, what are you doing?Moreover, this is a work with a production cost of 1.2 million, and no film and television company will not pay attention to it.

In fact, when Li Jingkun announced the name of the movie in Bibo, no one thought that it would require such a large investment; let alone other people, Gao Meiyuan didn't know about it when she agreed to play the heroine.

She also called to confirm; Li Jingkun told her that the villa could not be bought for the time being, and she would look at it later.

There is no money to make a movie, so I will definitely not be able to buy a villa.

During this period of time, the third song "Objection to Invalidity" has been recorded, and the production of the album can be started at any time later.

The MV will also be filmed, including the songs from the album "22".

But at this time, he no longer plans to shoot MVs by himself. Wang Yang is in charge of three of them, and the others are outsourced.

It's just that the songs can only enhance his personal reputation, and even if the later albums are released, they won't make much money.

"The song that Director Li recently sang is very popular. Recently, I often sing the song on repeat. It's really good."

"Boss Wang has won the award, it's just a hobby."

"Then your hobbies are better than many professionals."

After the news of the movie spread in the circle for a few days, the people from Zhongyi Brothers took the initiative to contact Longqi Film and Television; then their vice chairman and CEO Wang Zhongshi came out to meet Li Jingkun.

Several people made an appointment to meet in a restaurant and chatted while eating.In the beginning, other people were stirring up the atmosphere, but later on it was mainly Wang Zhongshi and Li Jingkun who were chatting.

"Nowadays the recording industry is in a downturn, so it can only be treated as a side job. In addition, I still like to be a director more."

"Yes, but it's more comfortable to be the boss, haha."

Of course being a boss is very comfortable, and Wang Zhongshi must have a deep understanding of it.

Especially after the Zhongyi Brothers went public, especially after their value soared, the Zhongyi Brothers were equivalent to sitting on the position of the king of domestic entertainment.

If you want money, you have money, and you have people; you have countless money in your hands, and countless artists under your banner.

What else is not satisfied?
However, there are also some bosses who are just the opposite. Many of them join the film and television industry because they like this industry; for example, Wang Jiaer’s Bangziguo boss, who is more famous later, likes to perform on stage very much.

After exchanging pleasantries, they started to get into the topic. Today they also came to talk about the movie "Detective Chinatown".

They have been looking at the project schedule for a while, so at this time Wang Zhongshi said: "Actually, the entire plan is very complete and mature, and the production budget of 1.2 million yuan is also very reasonable. In fact, it is not expensive. It takes so long to think about it with Perfect Planet?"

Li Jingkun said: "Maybe I also have my own concerns. After all, it is not easy to get a box office of [-] to [-] million in today's market."

Wang Zhongshi nodded. In fact, many things were tacit to each other. Everyone knew why Huaying and Perfect Planet hesitated; but this situation is different for the Zhongyi brothers.

Of course they also worry about the box office, but now they are more concerned about the rise and fall of their stock prices.

It is obvious that Li Jingkun's reputation is at the height of the sky, his talent is obvious to all, and the success of "Introduction to Architecture" is still ahead of his eyes, so it is good for them to catch up with Li Jingkun and his big production.

Isn't it just the 1.2 million production budget, and it's not that they can't afford it; besides, if they join, are they afraid that they won't be able to attract other companies to invest together?

Not to mention whether this movie can make money, at least with his previous achievements and current fame, it's not difficult to save money, right?
As for Li Jingkun and the others, they were also very surprised to hear Zhongyi say that they could pay out all of the 1.2 million investment. He did not expect that a company that had never worked with him could trust him so much.

But after listening to the conditions they listed, I was a little dumbfounded.

Sure enough, no capitalist will treat you so well for no reason.

The Zhongyi Brothers' condition is that Li Jingkun signs a 5-year director contract with them, or it can be replaced with a 3-movie contract; the other is that "Detective Chinatown" must have at least 4 main roles for their artists.

Maybe this condition is nothing to Zhongyi. After all, they are backed by their big tree, and they can also help with the investment of the film in the future. It doesn't have to be as hard to find funds as it is now. It can be said to be a win-win situation.

And they added Yeda, a director bigger than Li Jingkun, and a company bigger than Longqi Film and Television can be acquired, so they don't think these conditions will be very harsh at all.

On the contrary, I feel that it has given the other party a wider room for growth.

But from Li Jingkun's point of view, this is of course not the case. He naturally felt that the other party was a bit aggressive.

It's not that he's desperate, and the previous two movies have made a lot of money; he just can't get a big investment for a while.Besides, he still has a movie that hasn't been released yet, so "Hummingbird" can make some money, right?

Didn't I come here when I had nothing before? It's impossible to have some career now, but I have to sell myself to others, right?
So there was still no progress in the conversation tonight; but Wang Zhongshi was not in a hurry, after all, this was a big event, and they didn't expect to agree to these conditions when they met Li Jingkun for the first time.

You have to give others time to think about it. After all, the other party is the boss of a film and television company, and now he is also a famous director.

"Really good looking, speed update, sleepless nights!"

"Good book! Although it's not a time-traveling novel, and there's no tricks or anything, it's really good to read! It's a very IQ-line historical text! The author is talented and knowledgeable!"

"After reading a few chapters, I can't help but write a review first, this is definitely a fine historical article!"

"Li Jingkun is so good at writing about the emperor! I admire it!"

The new novel "Ruzidi" is online, and Li Jingkun only mentioned it once, because people who like to read online novels will read it without your reminder; and those who don't like to read novels, no matter how well you say it He won't even read it, so his fans can just know it.

But it's not a bad show, because the website is promoting it, and it must be better to promote it in the base camp of the novel website, because they are all target groups.

On March 2012, 3, about half a month after the single "fire" was released, the second English song "something just like this" was also released.At the same time, Li Jingkun announced on the bib that the mini-album "very restrained" will be released on March 12th.

In foreign countries, two English songs will be released one after another.

"Fire" also took some places on the music charts in several countries.But because the singer is from Asia, the ranking must have been affected.After all, no matter how good your song is, if it's not the people from Omi's company, who gave you so many resources to promote it, why should the people on the radio station push you so much.

Don't say that they don't talk about favors but only strengths. This is bullshit. They also talk about favors and interests. A little-known Asian who is not related to them will not get any benefits.

Ranking [-] or [-] on the bulletin board already gave him a lot of face.

This is the result of Shenghuaxinyou's efforts to promote it. If there is no help, no matter how high the spread rate is on the Internet, it will not be popular for long.

After all, there are so many good songs, who cares who you are.

He is still an Asian, so at most he was a little surprised.

But half a month later, another single came out, it was still an inspirational song, it was still a very explosive song, the popularity this time was much higher than the first time, after all, it won both times!
"I've been reading books of old

The legends and the myths

Achilles and his gold (such as Achilles and his booty)

Hercules and his gifts (such as Hercules and his gifts)

Spiderman's control (and Spiderman's overall control)

And Batman with his fists (and Batman's Iron Fist Invincible)

······"

"Wow! Another inspirational song from Kane Lee, a young Asian singer. He just brought us a song "fire" last month. I didn't expect to bring it again in less than half a month. A "something just like this", and what did I see? Both songs are written and composed by himself, including arrangements, so this is a singer-songwriter, right?"

"It's incredible! This is a song written and sung by an Asian singer! It's really beautiful! The lyrics are also very charming! I also like the arrangement, and the combination of synthesizer and rock is great!"

After the second song was released, it really felt like an explosion!

Because one time can be said to be good luck, but two times in a row can produce such a high-quality song, whether it is domestic or foreign, it has caused quite a sensation!

Many English-language radio stations and music TV stations are reporting the news and playing the song, and photos of Li Jingkun himself have also appeared on their TV stations and the Internet.

Since the MVs of the two songs have also been released one after another, it is naturally easy to know what the singer looks like.

Then naturally, we will also discuss who he is, whether he is also famous in Asia, why his English is so good, and so on.

"Unbelievable! Kane Lee is not a professional singer in China! He is still a student, and he is more famous as a writer and director!"

"Shocking! Young music genius Omi has always existed, and there are many, but it is really rare to see a music genius plus a famous director and writer..."

"I love this song to death! I feel more charming than the first song! This singer's voice is so charming! I really want to fall in love with him and let him sing to me every day! "

Kane Lee is Li Jingkun's random English name. Recently, this name has become very popular on the Internet, and he has quickly received a large number of fans. Many people also hope that he can produce and release an official album.

After the second song was launched, it naturally caused a sensation again in China, and the number of retweets and comments caused by celebrities this time became more.

Hu Ge, Yang Zini, Da Mimi, Lin Xiaojie, Gao Meiyuan, etc. all forwarded and commented, and singers Li Jian, Zhang Jingying, Hu Yanbin, Wang Feng, May Band, etc. couldn't help but write a lot of praise.

Some of them didn't open their scarves, and they were asked about Li Jingkun's two songs during the interview.

No way, although there are many popular songs every year, these two songs by Li Jingkun are quite special, so they are more attractive and topical.

Of course, there are also some scolding, the main thing is that sentence, why don’t you write such a good melody in your own mother tongue...

Li Jian said: "Two excellent songs. Li Jingkun is definitely a very mature music creator! I really hope his album will be released soon. This will be a very worthy album."

Wang Feng said: "I have always liked Li Jingkun's songs. I didn't expect to be able to write such beautiful songs in English. I really admire him! He deserves to be a young man with the titles of 'Music Talent' and 'Genius Boy'." people."

The lead singer of the May band said: "@李景坤director, I really like the song "something just like this", and everyone in our band also likes it very much, and they all agree that it is also very suitable for the band to sing, hahaha ! Can I buy the copyright from the director? Otherwise, the director himself can come to our concert as a guest."

Da Mimi said: "Director, when is the concert? I will be there first!"

So many people @ him and praised him, it is impossible for Li Jingkun not to reply and thank him coldly, so basically everyone has responded.

The lead singers of the May band, A Xing and Da Mi Mi, like to joke more, and interact with them more.Naturally, it also triggered many netizens to watch celebrities online to tease and interact.
