Chapter 143 Want to see "Thigh Age"

Women can certainly bring confidence to men, there is no doubt about it.

But in many cases, money is more powerful.

After the Mid-Autumn Festival is the National Day. This year's National Day file has five blockbuster films released, namely "Tai Chi 1: Restart", "Tongque Tower", "Dangerous Relationship", "Re-exposure" and "The Ring Messenger".

They are all works with the participation of big-name stars and big-name directors, such as Zhang Ziyi, Liang Jiahui, Tianting Banquet, Fa Ge, Fifth Brother, Liu Tianxian and so on.Therefore, everyone thought that the competition and fighting would be very fierce, but after 7 days, only 3.7 million movie box office was won nationwide!

Almost all the works are hip-stretching, including "Tai Chi", which was huge and publicized before.

This also turned the 2012 National Day file into "the most tragic National Day file in history."

However, a few days before the National Day, Li Jingkun left the country and went to Bangzi Country to participate in the film festival.

On October 2012, 10, the Busan International Film Festival opened, which immediately attracted the attention of many countries and regions, because the red carpet show was very lively and many stars came.

For domestic audiences, there are four points of concern for the opening ceremony of this film festival. The first is that Tang Wei attended the event as the host of the opening ceremony. The second is that Li Jingkun's "Hummingbird" was also shortlisted for this event. Film Festival; the third is that Xiangjiang film "Cold War" was invited to be the opening film; the fourth is the red carpet show.

The red carpet show is something to watch every year, but because the girl group Bangziguo has become more famous in recent years, many people are still looking forward to this red carpet show.

Of course, the result was not disappointing. There were a lot of beauties here, and many actresses dressed boldly. Jeon Hye Bin, Bae So Eun and others were a bit foul.

Newcomer actor Suzy also attended the opening ceremony wearing a strapless tube top dress, but this style may not suit her, because the whole person looks a bit strong in the photo.

In addition, big beauties Han Ga In and Park Si Yeon also attended the event.

"Hummingbird" started screening on the 5th, so Li Jingkun arrived in Busan on the 3rd, and also participated in the red carpet on the 4th.

When going out, it would be more friendly to see Chinese people, so Li Jingkun also met and said hello to Guo Tianwang, Liang Jiahui, Zhang Baizi, Tang Wei and other Chinese people.

Of course, he also watched "Cold War", which can be said to be one of the few excellent Hong Kong films in recent years; the audio-visual effects are very good, and the logic makes sense; It has the unique taste of Hong Kong movies and is worth watching.

Xiangjiang is just a city, but this film has a sense of atmosphere, which is quite rare.

Now that we have arrived in Bangzi Country, Kimbella definitely wants to get in touch.It's just that he's been very busy these few days. On the 4th he will attend the opening ceremony, on the 5th "Hummingbird" will be screened, and on the 6th he has to go back.

And Kim Bella drove here from Seoul, at least 4 hours by car; driving 4 hours, just to meet and then separate, seems too deliberate and ambiguous...

Of course it's faster to fly, but again, he's going back on the 6th, so there's no need to meet in such a hurry, after all, he'll be back in a few days.

So after the two talked on the phone, they decided to meet again after the 13th.

"Or you could stay an extra day or two," Kimbella said.

"No need, it just so happens that the movie over there is a little bit late, so you can feel at ease after finishing everything." Li Jingkun said.

"Well, well, then the film festival will be over and things will be done. After the 13th, you can stay for a few more days, right?"

"Haha, yes, I haven't been here for a long time, and I haven't traveled for a long time to relax."

"Then it's settled, see you then."

"Ok."

······
In recent years, the Bangziguo film circle has cooperated quite a lot with the domestic film circle. The Pushan International Film Festival also gives Chinese films a lot of face, often allowing Chinese films to be shortlisted and win awards.

Of course, it may also be related to the domestic market; at the same time, it is also named an international film festival, so you can't just play your own?
The domestic film market is getting bigger and bigger, and this is a scene that everyone can see, so Omi has to make money every year, and has always wanted to let the domestic market open more import quotas to them.

Of course, Bangziguo also wants to come in to get a share of the action, or in other words, everyone wants to go to a place that can make a lot of money.

However, every country has its own film quota system. The country has so many import quotas for Omi every year. It can’t be that other countries keep increasing it. Then the domestic films won’t develop?
Moreover, there are so many countries in the world, the Bangzi country protects its domestic film industry the best, and the quota system is the most resolute.The Bangziguo government stipulates that each cinema must show at least 6 Bangzi movies every year, and only Bangziguo movies can be played for at least 90 days.

However, the number of days for local protection quotas often changes. Sometimes it is 30 days, sometimes it becomes 121 days or 165 days. From 1986 to 2006, it has been 146 days, which is quite crazy.

Therefore, it cannot be said that Bangziguo movies have developed so rapidly in a short period of time, and it cannot be said that it has nothing to do with this system.

However, allowing works from other countries to enter the domestic market to a certain extent is also a stimulus to the film market of our own country; only by allowing good works to enter, can domestic film and television companies take their works more seriously, and then produce more and better works. ; Form a virtuous circle.

The emergence of co-productions can also have the same effect. One is that we can learn advanced film production technology from other countries, and the other is that they can make money here, and we can also enter their market.

Of course, there are many other benefits of co-productions, the most important being that they are not restricted by import quotas, so in recent years, there have been more and more "Hua Mi co-productions", "Hua Bang co-productions", and "Hua-Fa co-productions".

Not to mention anything else, there were several co-productions at this year's Busan International Film Festival, such as "Dangerous Liaisons", "Alliance of Thieves" and so on.

"Congratulations to "Hummingbird" for winning the KNN Audience Award at this Busan International Film Festival."

On October 10, the closing ceremony of Busan International Film Festival began, and "Hummingbird" won the KNN Audience Award.Then Li Jingkun came to the stage to accept the award.

"Thank you, I am very grateful to everyone who likes this movie, and I am very grateful to the organizer for the recognition.

In fact, this work is also related to Korea. I don’t know if you have seen a short film called "Recorder Exam". In fact, "Hummingbird" can be said to be an extension of this short film. I found it in this short film. Inspired, and then came here to get in touch with the director of the short film, bought the adaptation rights and then filmed this story.

Now I have become very good friends with this director, Ms. Kimbella. She is a very talented director. I hope that one day she will stand here with you and meet and get to know you. Thank you. . "

Li Jingkun spoke Chinese in the first paragraph, and the last paragraph was dedicated to learning Bangzi language. One was to thank all those who voted for him, and the other was to surprise Kim Bella.

Yes, before Kimbella said that she was writing Chinese, then he should learn a few stick words and retaliate.

The fact that "Hummingbird" won the film award quickly spread across the country, and there were many people discussing it at once.

""Hummingbird" Busan won the KNN Audience Award and became the only award-winning Chinese film at this year's Busan Film Festival!"

""Hummingbird" has made another success, and the pace of winning awards has not stopped!"

In fact, apart from the relatively lively one or two days before, the attention of the closing ceremony has dropped a lot, and there are very few big-name celebrities.Not to mention the domestic side, even the attention of Bangzi Kingdom itself has dropped a lot.

But Li Jingkun's fans still noticed the news, so they were very excited and started discussing and leaving messages on the scarf.

"I'm going, won again? This time it's for the main competition, right? Is this the fourth or fifth award?"

"Niu Pi, is "Hummingbird" going to make history? It won so many international awards."

"If it continues to win, it is possible to create a history of Chinese directors' works, but some works from other countries have won more than a dozen. However, "Hummingbird" has been recognized by so many film festivals, which is already very impressive!"

······
"I really didn't expect you to mention me without telling me in advance."

"Haha, it's a surprise for you, let's talk about it first, there will be no surprises."

Li Jingkun left Busan the next day and took a plane to Seoul.

I have visited two or three places in Busan recently, and I have eaten at special restaurants for a few days, so I told Kimbella that I don’t need to come here, and he just flew there.

So on the night of the 14th, they showed up at a restaurant in Seoul, preparing to eat Hanjeongsik.

Hanjeongsik is the kind of grand Korean banquet in "Dae Jang Geum". The dishes are stacked on the table, including white meat, grilled fish, sauce crab, cabbage and rice, etc.But each portion is not too much.They ordered two servings, and there would not be much left after eating.And the price is not expensive.

"Yes, it's really a surprise. And you still said it in Korean." Kimbella said.

"It's not very good, is it? I feel that the speaking speed is a bit too slow."

"It doesn't matter if you are slow, you will get familiar with it if you talk too much."

"Maybe there are not so many opportunities to talk about. After all, I can only win the Busan Film Festival Award once a year at most."

"Pfft." Kimbella couldn't help laughing, "Yes, it's a pity—but you can tell me about it later."

"So you speak Mandarin to me, and I speak Korean to you?"

"Isn't that nice?"

After chatting about the film festival, Kimbella asked about his travels.

Li Jingkun said: "Yes, I came here a few years ago. In fact, I have been to several countries in Southeast Asia. Siam used to be for work reasons and lived the longest.”

Kimbella said, "Then you did travel a lot."

"Yes, it's also because the language can pass the test, otherwise I wouldn't be able to travel so many places."

"Are you all with your family?"

"No, I usually go by myself."

"But it's not right, you are so young, have you traveled so many places by yourself?"

"Yeah, when you have time, go for a walk and see more. Seeing different scenery, eating different food, and meeting people from different regions, I feel pretty good. Of course, the premise is to ensure your own safety. .”

Kim Bella said with a little admiration: "Then you are very powerful and courageous. No wonder you are so successful at such a young age."

Li Jingkun said: "No, it's all luck."

"You have been to so many countries, what impression do you have of our country?"

"Impression?"

"Yes."

Li Jingkun suddenly wanted to laugh: "Do you really want me to tell you?"

Kimbella was a little surprised: "Sure, it seems that there is a bad impression?"

"No, it might be a little special."

"It's okay, tell me, I'm looking forward to it."

"You know that the film and television industry in your country has developed very well in recent years. Movies and TV series, especially in Asia, are quite famous."

Kimbella nodded: "Yes."

"And then there are girl groups."

"Yes."

"..."

Kimbella looked at him strangely and said, "Go on, why don't you say anything?"

Li Jingkun said: "I'm done talking, there are girl groups."

Kimbella thought for a while, and suddenly understood what he meant, and couldn't help being a little annoyed and funny: "So your impression of our country is that there are many beauties and many girl groups?"

Li Jingkun said: "It's not just me, many young people in our country, the deepest impression of your country in recent years is the girl group. To put it more precisely, it is the 'thigh era'."

"Big, thigh age?"

Li Jingkun nodded with a smile: "It is known as the No. [-] girl group in Asia, and the nickname 'Thigh Times' was chosen by netizens in your country. Of course, his original intention may be to satirize something, but it is too much to get it." It's popular, so it's quite recognized. And isn't that what their record company wants to promote and show?"

Kim Bella was a little speechless, but he had to admit that what he said was very reasonable. After all, when the "thigh era" appeared, most of them showed their thighs; and since they started, other girl groups also followed this route.

So their country will naturally give others the impression that there are many long-legged beauties in their country.

The popularity of the girl group not only allows these companies to earn more money, but also boosts the country's tourism industry.Many tourists from other places just want to come here to see the beauties, and at the same time, they will also check in at the door of the record company of the girl group, hoping to meet one or two idols.

"I see, so Jing Kun also likes it very much, right?"

"It's a bit of a weird question."

"what?"

"I mean is there any man who wouldn't like it?"

"..."

Kim Bella couldn't help but rolled her eyes at him, and continued: "Well, I have to say that you are right. But Jing Kun is so honest with me, is it because I have no charm for you at all?"

"Pfft." This time it was Li Jingkun's turn to almost choke.

"Hahaha, it turns out that it's nice to be speechless." Kimbella smiled and handed him a tissue, her face turned a little red.

······
Yoona from "Thigh Era" is indeed very beautiful. It can be said that besides Liu Tianxian, the second person who made Li Jingkun feel such a big shock.

It was also because of her face that she attracted the attention of many people in the early stage, and then everyone knew about this team.In the end, I found out that the other members are also very good and attractive, so they gradually became popular.

It is said that the term "C position" was also created by Yoona; because every event and MV, she has to stand in the most important position to attract the attention of the audience.Over time, this term spread in the circle.

It is rare for Li Jingkun to come here, so Kim Bella has been thinking about how to entertain him.Now that I know that he likes "Thigh Age" this time, I want to take him to see their concert or something.

I didn't know that after checking it, I found that they didn't seem to be active in China recently.

"It's a pity, Jing Kun, I checked for you. Your 'thigh age' hasn't come back recently. It seems that you have been active in your home country recently, so you may not see them in China at present."

"...It doesn't have to be 'thigh era', there are so many girl groups, right?"

Isn't Zheng Jingjing and Song Qian here?

"..."

"And the actress is pretty good too."

Quan Zhixian, Kim Taeyan, and Son Yejin are also very fragrant!

"..."

"Haha, no kidding, I think it would be nice to have you take a look around with me."

That night, the two found a random hotel in Seoul and stayed for one night.

Of course, the two lived separately.

However, the lonely man and widow went out and spent the night together, and it did feel a bit ambiguous.Kimbella's expression seems to be a little bit like that?Li Jingkun is not sure, even a little strange, because I don't know why their relationship suddenly changed?

Or is there no pure friendship between men and women at all?

But nothing special happened that night, neither of them knocked on each other's door, and they didn't come out to meet again for dinner until the next day.

Then use your mobile phone to search for strategies in the restaurant to see where to go to play.

But many places in big cities are similar. What are the things here that Kyoto and Magic City don’t have?And he doesn't need to shop or anything, so he will focus on finding places to eat in the future.

"Actually, it's good to go abroad occasionally. You don't need to do too much cover. After all, not many people here know me."

"Not necessarily. I feel that there are quite a few people who know you in our country. Many people on the Internet have discussed you, and they all like your movies."

"Right now, I'm not that famous. After all, I'm still mainly a director."

After eating another big meal at noon, after resting and wandering around for a while, Kimbella said that she would take her for a walk in the countryside.

"You won't sell me, will you?"

"Hahaha, no, it's the place where I often live, the scenery is very good, I like it very much, and I may still use it when I make movies in the future; I also want to take you to see, help me mention Opinion."

Then I stayed there that night, but this time it seems that there is no way to divide the two rooms; because there is only one bed there, how can they sleep?
