Chapter 150 Who in the world does not know you
At the end of the film screening, the audience immediately gave applause and cheers.
The hosts Meng Fei and Li Ai came back to the stage.
"Is the movie good?" Meng Fei asked everyone.
"It's beautiful!" Many people shouted.
Meng Fei said: "Oh, it's really exciting. Everyone performed very well."
Li Ai said: "Yeah, envy, jealousy, hate, I really want to act in such a movie!"
"Then you have to discuss it with the director, and then replace Gao Meiyuan."
"Hahaha, then I don't dare, and I can't compare. I can't afford the title of 'the most beautiful woman in Chinatown'."
Everyone watched with a smile, and Gao Meiyuan, whose name was read, also covered her mouth and smiled happily in the audience.
I couldn't help being so happy, because I felt that the movie was excellent, and I still looked good in the movie.
Have to say this man made another good movie!
Then the host invited all the main creators to come on stage and let them accept everyone's questions.
So Li Jingkun, Huang Baoqiang, Bai Jingting, Gao Meiyuan, Xiao Yang, Cheng He, Song Zufan, Xiao Shenyang and others all walked up.
At the beginning, Li Jingkun received the most questions, and then most of the others were asked one or two questions.
"I would like to ask the director why he chose to shoot such a story in the first place."
"One is as I said before, I have made a lot of youth films, so I plan to change the subject; the other is that I have always liked detective or suspense films, but if they are too serious, I am afraid they will not be interesting enough, so It adds an element of comedy."
"So when you wrote the script, did you use Huang Baoqiang as the prototype?"
"Hahaha, yes, the character 'Tang Ren' is basically described in his image, so his tone and actions will naturally be substituted. Now that the movie is out, I also think his performance is very good,' Tang Ren' is him, he is 'Tang Ren'."
"Hello director, hello creators, I want to ask the director, the last shot is the scene of them going to the United States, does it mean that there will be a second part later?"
"Yes, if all goes well, there will be at least three works in "Detective Chinatown". This was determined in the early stage of creation, so there will be sequels."
After the others answered one or two questions, another beautiful woman raised her hand; both Meng Fei and Li Ai laughed, and Meng Fei said, "Okay, now pass the microphone to that beautiful woman—OK, thank you, may I ask?" Mao Xiaotong, do you have any questions to ask?"
Yes, the one standing up this time is the very cute and beautiful Mao Xiaotong in a princess dress.
So many viewers who knew her cheered loudly. After all, "Suddenly This Summer" had just been broadcast a while ago, and the ratings of the second and third rounds were also good, so she is now well-known and has many fans.
Mao Xiaotong said with a smile: "I would like to ask the director, you have starred in both "Introduction to Architecture" and "Positive Physique" before, and you have acted quite well, why didn't you act yourself this time?"
Meng Fei nodded: "Okay, that's a good question, now let's see what the director said."
Li Jingkun said: "Actually, this question is very simple. After all, this is a comedy film, and the director is too handsome. (If you participate in the role), I am afraid that you will make a play..."
Before Li Jingkun finished speaking, many people started booing and booing; at the same time, many people couldn't help laughing.
Moreover, his words not only aroused the reaction of the audience, but also several male actors on the stage became irritable.
Cheng He said: "That's not right, so it's easy for the audience to play when they see me, after all I'm so handsome..."
Xiao Yang retorted: "If you say handsome, I should be more handsome than you, right?"
Cheng He said, "Are you blind?"
"Are you blind?"
"I said where did you get the confidence?"
"Where did you get your confidence?"
The two people on the stage "pinched" again, which made people think of the "enemy" relationship between the two in the play, so they couldn't help laughing.
Then another man stood up, holding a microphone and saying, "Hi, I'm Zhang Zhiliang, a reporter from "Popular Film and Television" magazine. "Detective Chinatown" is obviously a very good movie, and I personally like it very much." , the reasoning part is also very good, to be honest, the overall quality is a bit beyond my expectation.
However, I also attended the premiere of Zhou Xingxing's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Devil" a while ago. I have to say that it is also a very good work, and Zhou Xingxing's creative ability is still very strong.So what I want to ask the director is, are you worried about the box office results?Wouldn't it be a lose-lose situation for two blockbuster films to be released at the same time during the Spring Festival? "
As soon as this question came out, the joyful and brisk atmosphere at the scene subsided a bit. After all, this is a very realistic and real problem.Moreover, the popularity of the two films is also very high these days; everyone present knows that these two works are now in a competitive relationship.
In the past Spring Festival stalls, the box office market was not high.
So if most viewers choose to watch "Journey to the West: Conquer the Devil", then the box office of "Chinatown" will definitely be greatly affected.
And judging from the recent public opinion feedback, this probability is not small, after all, Zhou Xingxing's appeal is too great.Many people on the Internet said that they owed him a movie ticket, and they all said that they had to pay it back during the Spring Festival.So it is normal to worry about being dominated by the opponent's family and being killed by the winner.
However, unlike the worried expressions of others, Li Jingkun was quite calm. He picked up the microphone and said:
"I think your question is really good. Maybe this is something that my collaborators, my friends, and even my fans are worried about recently. After all, who wouldn't like Zhou Xingxing's movie? Including me too.
But I am not worried at all that the box office will not look good, on the contrary, I am more optimistic than everyone; because I think this is not the result of who will beat who, but a scene where 1+1 is greater than 2.
That is, we will achieve each other and complement each other, and together we will make the Spring Festival market bigger and achieve success together.
After all, both of our movies can be said to be a family carnival, and they are both movies that bring joy to everyone during the Chinese New Year. I don’t think everyone will mind watching the two movies together in turn.Even viewers who like it very much may do it twice and three times. "
Zhang Zhiliang asked a good question, and Li Jingkun's answer was also very beautiful.So many people applauded, and Zhang Zhili also said "thank you" before sitting down.
Many people laughed again under Li Jingkun's confidence; but in fact, many people did not fully believe his words.I think he is just keeping calm on the surface. After all, he is the director and the person in charge of the project. He must not be the first to lose confidence.
And I also said that everyone will brush twice and brush three times... I feel a little too optimistic, and generally not many people will do this.
The time for asking questions was almost over. Unexpectedly, Li Jingkun added a project temporarily, that is, he wanted to ask Mao Xiaotong to come up and say a few words.
There are a lot of big names coming tonight, and there are also a lot of beauties. Da Mimi, Liu Tianxian and others are all female stars who can get hot topics tomorrow.I also missed Da Mimi just now, and asked her to stand up and interact.It's just that I haven't invited any guests to the stage.
When Mao Xiaotong was first called to come up, she sat there shaking her head and waving her hands, expressing that she did not want to come up.
But Li Jingkun did not give up, and directly called her name: "Mao Xiaotong, please come up."
The audience didn't know why, but it didn't stop them booing.
Mao Xiaotong shouted: "I have no problem."
Li Jingkun took the microphone and said: "Hurry up, come up and say a few words-don't force me to be tough!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and Mao Xiaotong also smiled speechlessly, covering his forehead.In the end, she had no choice but to lift her skirt and walk onto the stage from the auditorium.
She is wearing an off-white dress tonight, in the style of a little princess, her skin is still so white and bright, and her face is still delicate and lovely.
After coming to the stage, she was arranged to stand beside Li Jingkun.
At this time, everyone's attention was also on the two of them, because they all wanted to know what Li Jingkun asked her to do.
Li Jingkun said, "Come on, let me introduce you again."
Meng Fei said, "Oh, Xiaotong still needs an introduction?"
Li Jingkun said: "I want it, and I have to introduce it grandly."
Li Ai smiled and said, "Ah? You don't want an official announcement, do you?"
The audience was in an uproar, and then booed loudly again.Mao Xiaotong blushed even more, covered her mouth and smiled - to be honest, she didn't know why she was called up.
But when everyone saw Li Jingkun's seriousness, many people really thought this was the answer.
"No way? Are they together?"
"Ah? When did it happen?"
"Is this true? Zeng Xiaoxian?"
"I don't know, Miss."
"Didn't you just say that you know each other very well?"
"During the two months of filming, did you not see Mao Xiaotong?"
When this guess came out, many people were extremely surprised.Even Gao Meiyuan on stage had to look at Mao Xiaotong again.
But Li Jingkun quickly broke everyone's guess, he said: "No, in fact, I want to thank her grandly here, and at the same time, I would like to introduce to you—in fact, Xiaotong can also be said to be an investor in this movie. one."
"what?"
Everyone is even more confused, thanks to her?Why?And it has to be a grand thank you?
Also, didn't it mean that the only investors were Longqi Film and Television and Shangyue.com?Why is there another one?
Several high-level executives of Yueshi.com in the audience were also a little puzzled, after all, there was no name of Mao Xiaotong or Mao Xiaotong's agency in the contract.
Li Jingkun said: "Perhaps many people know that it was very difficult for me to attract investment for this film before. In the end, Yueshi.com supported me and invested tens of millions. But there is still a shortfall of tens of millions, because we The income of the last movie was not bad, so I planned to pay for the rest by myself, and if it was not enough, I would go for a loan; but in the end, I found that there was still a shortfall of 1000 million, and then Xiaotong said, she paid for the 1000 million... ·”
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that the 1000 million investment in this movie was made by Mao Xiaotong?
"I was very moved at the time, but also a little scared, because 1000 million is not a small amount." Li Jingkun said.
Yes, it is not easy to find someone to borrow money these days, let alone such a high amount.
Not to mention ordinary people, even the celebrities present, even if some of them are worth hundreds of millions, it is impossible to just lend 1000 million to others.
In other words, it is not so easy for ordinary people to borrow 2000 yuan from others...
But Li Jingkun said that it is understandable to be moved, why is he afraid?
Meng Fei is a good fan, he asked everyone this question.
Li Jingkun said: "Because the number is too huge, 1000 million——I once wondered if she wanted to keep me."
"puff!"
Everyone laughed, and Mao Xiaotong even kicked him angrily.
No one expected that the atmosphere of sighing and moving just now would be punctured by him all at once.
Several actresses in the audience also smiled speechlessly.
Li Jingkun continued: "Later, she said that she had confidence in my film and my script, so she lent me the money. I also repaid her trust, saying that if she made money, she would be considered a shareholder. I will pay her dividends when I lose money; if I lose money, I won’t pay the interest, and just pay back the principal.”
Only then did everyone fully understand what he meant by asking Mao Xiaotong to come up. It turned out that he wanted to thank her for her kindness in helping and knowing people.So there was applause.
However, people in the circle must have different thoughts. Celebrities borrowing money, this is not something to show off.So Li Jingkun even brought up such embarrassing things for the sake of the film, for publicity, and for eyeballs?
Uh, it seems that "Journey to the West Conquering the Demons" is also speculating on the news that the heroine Shu Qi is secretly married...
For the business of hundreds of millions of dollars, everyone has done everything that should be done.
Finally, all the main creators took a group photo on stage.Mao Xiaotong also became one of them.
Then the camera turned around and took a picture with all the audience friends present.
······
After the premiere, the general audience activities will be over; however, the media and guests can continue to participate in the post-screening exchange reception.
After all, it was meal time, so at least one meal had to be taken care of.
As the biggest protagonist tonight, Li Jingkun is naturally very busy, there are many people who need to entertain, and there are also many people around.
But Master Han Shan is here, so he must give priority to staying with him.
"I've also watched Zhou Xingxing's movie. It's very good. There are so many highlights. We really can't take it lightly." Han Shan said.
"I understand that we may lose out in terms of fame and influence, so we have to work harder on publicity, so we held a few roadshows before the release; and we will start the roadshow soon after the release. This time we It is planned for 16 days, if the box office results are good, we will apply for a key extension, and then extend the road show for another 10 days." Li Jingkun said.
Although the road show is not long, it is actually quite tiring, because most of the time is on the road.And by then, not all actors may be able to finish the road show, one is tired, and the other is that they may have other arrangements.
If he wants to run through these cities, he can only rely on himself.Of course, Bai Jingting and Xiao Yang are their contracted artists after all, and they will definitely stay around for a few more days.
Although the road show is tiring, the effect will be very good.This is also an advantage of his foresight.
At present, most people have not realized the benefits of roadshows, even though he has already demonstrated it in "Introduction to Architecture" last time.But because not many people have personally experienced its benefits, not many people still pay attention to this means of publicity.
Including Zhou Xingxing.He didn't start the road show until "The Mermaid" was released, and it was the kind of crazy road show.
"You still want to extend the key? Then you are quite confident."
"It's okay, good or bad, you have to be prepared."
"It's pretty good too," Master Han Shan paused, "When will the second part be arranged?"
Li Jingkun said: "Not so fast, at least two or three years."
"Does it take that long?"
"One is that it takes time to create, one is that the interest is temporarily attracted by other themes, and the other is that waiting for two or three years is also good for the movie. Wait a few more years, and the fans of this movie will accumulate more and more. At that time, their expectations will be higher, and the box office may be more explosive."
Master Han Shan nodded: "So there are plans for the next movie?"
Li Jingkun said: "I have an idea, but I haven't made a final decision yet. It is likely to be a medium- and low-cost work." This means that Longqi Film and Television may be able to secure the full amount of funds by itself, or add one or two investors at most. enough.
And if "Detective Chinatown" is successful, then Longqi Film and Television and Li Jingkun will have more say, and the investors may get more funds than before in order to get the same proportion of dividends as before.
Han Shanye said: "It's okay, we have been working together very happily, and we can continue to communicate and cooperate more in the future."
After separating from Master Han Shan, Li Jingkun's second wave of contacts were from Perfect Planet.
The topics of conversation were similar, firstly congratulating him on the success of his new film, then chatting about "Hummingbird" to enhance their relationship, and finally back to the topic, hoping to have the opportunity to continue to cooperate in the future.
Today's event is relatively large, and there are many people who come, of course, it is impossible for him to entertain all of them.The general manager of Longqi Film and Television, several deputy general managers and other high-level officials were naturally present, and they would come over to talk to him about any important situations in the middle.
After chatting with the female artist, it became easier, and Mao Xiaotong took a few shots, saying that if I want to talk about it today, I won't tell her in advance.
Wan Qian, Zhou Dongyu, Yang Zini, Gu Xiaona, Li Xian, Zhu Yilong and others didn't have much time to pay attention to them, they just greeted them when they saw them.
Sun Honglei, Huang Sanshi, and Xu Haofeng chatted a few more words.There are also several leading actors of "Love Apartment", because I liked this drama very much for a while, so I naturally like these actors, so I chatted for a while.
It's been a long time since I met Da Mimi, but this woman quickly brought the topic to the movie version of "The Year in a Hurry".
"I didn't get involved much in this movie, and there was only one leading actor before."
"Isn't the copyright in your hands? Why don't you make it yourself? Or you can cooperate with us. We don't want much, just a heroine."
Li Jingkun said: "Cooperate with you? Do you have a production team of Mercedes-Benz? Do you have a big-name director? Do you have a distribution channel?"
And, if you do work with you, would you only want a heroine role?
That is to say, it is not available now, and the requirements are relatively low.
Da Mimi said: "Wow, okay, you are looking down on our company now, right?"
Li Jingkun said: ""The Year in a Hurry" has director Zhang Yibai from Mercedes-Benz, and they will handle the script, and they will also set up the filming team. Basically, it can be said that [-] to [-]% of the production of the movie version is made by them. Responsible. If we cooperate with you, what can you produce? Just one or two actresses?"
"...It's not that you can't hire people. Besides, can't you make your own?"
"Of course we can make it ourselves, but if we make it ourselves, why should we cooperate with your company? You don't have much to offer in terms of movies, right?"
"...So I'm here to help you stand today, and you're just going to hate me like this?"
Well, this woman is about to start cheating.
Li Jingkun said: "We have already promised not to interfere with the arrangement of other characters in this movie, and the heroine should have been determined. If there is no accident, Nini will play the role."
Da Mimi was helpless: "Okay, what about the TV series?"
Li Jingkun said: "The TV version of "The Year in a Hurry" is gone. The actors have all been confirmed, and it will be launched after a while. And I guess you are not very interested, right? Ours is an online drama."
"...Then remember to think of me and my artists next time."
"Yes, exchange resources and recommend each other."
Li Jingkun is still very interested in "Gu Jian Qi Tan", among other things, at least put Gu Xiaona in it.
With her current status, it's no problem to act as the second female lead, right?Isn't it shabby to act as a big honey for you?
If possible, Zhu Yilong can also play a role, the third male and the fourth male are fine, and the second male will not refuse.
""Ancient Sword and Strange Tan"? Gu Xiaona? It's not impossible, my opinion is still quite useful, but I have to look at what the director and producer mean."
Li Jingkun nodded: "It's okay, audition for the audition, meet for the meeting, find a time to make an appointment for us. We can bring money into the group."
Da Mimi was a little surprised: "You still bring funds into the group? Are you so kind to your artists?"
"I can't help it. There is only one female artist in my family. Who is better if I don't treat her well? By the way, I will also help to see if there are any roles for the second male and the third male. Our Zhu Yilong is also very handsome, and he is also very suitable for acting in ancient costumes."
"..."
Da Mimi is a little skeptical about life, no matter how she thinks about it, she feels something is wrong.
Today, she obviously wanted to find some movie resources and connections, why didn't the resources find it, and she had to find some more?
······
Of course Liu Tianxian couldn't miss it, but their mother and daughter didn't stay together for long, and they were going to say goodbye to him soon.
Ms. Liu said: "If you have the opportunity, you can also cooperate with our Sissy. She is very serious and dedicated to acting." Ms. Liu also has to admit that today's movie is very good.And "the most beautiful woman in Chinatown"?I feel that there is no problem for her daughter to play the role.
Although there are not many heroines in this play.
Li Jingkun said: "Definitely, there will definitely be opportunities in the future."
Then Liu Tianxian also spoke up: "The film was shot very well, and the results will definitely be very good!"
Li Jingkun said: "Thank you, and I will trouble you today."
"It's okay, I just have a lot of free time recently, so I also want to watch a new movie to relax; and not only did I watch a good movie today, but I also have a lot of friends here, and I had a good chat just now."
"That's good. I'm afraid that the reception will not be good. I've been very busy. There are so many people, I can't take care of everyone."
"It's okay, I understand. As a director and boss, I must be very busy; I saw it just now. The people around me have never stopped."
"Haha, I'm a bit busy before and after the screening, and sometimes I feel more tired than when I was filming."
"Yes, socializing with people is sometimes tiring." Liu Tianxian glanced at his mother and felt that he couldn't keep talking like this, so he waved to him: "Let's do this first, we're going back. Bye. "
"Okay, goodbye. Auntie, Senior Sister, please go."
Mother Liu and Liu Tianxian walked out together, and greeted people they knew.
"No need to send it, we can go back by ourselves."
"It's okay, just send it to the elevator."
Liu Tianxian suddenly whispered to him: "After all, we are friends, right? Is it okay to always call me Senior Sister? You can just call me by my name."
"······OK."
The elevator arrived soon, and the two walked in, waving goodbye again.
·······
"The premiere of "Detective Chinatown" is dazzling, and the star directors all hold family fun!"
"At the premiere of "Detective Chinatown", Liu Tianxian came to help out!"
"Big Mimi appeared at the premiere, standing for "Detective Chinatown"!"
"At the premiere of "Detective Chinatown", Li Jingkun revealed that he borrowed money to film!"
"Li Jingkun is not afraid of Zhou Xingxing, and he made bold words at the premiere!"
After the premiere, there was no need to wait until the next day. A lot of information came out that night; after all, this is the era of new media.
There are also many hot spots in this event, such as the support of Han Shanye, Liu Tianxian, Da Mimi, etc. For example, Li Jingkun revealed that he borrowed 1000 million from Mao Xiaotong to make a movie; for example, the quality of the movie was unexpected and so on.So it quickly became a hot topic on major websites; at the same time, many movie reviews were published one after another. Naturally, there were a lot of praises and surprises, etc.
Zhou Xingxing also saw the news the next day. After all, everyone now knows that their two blockbuster films will "fight" during the Spring Festival. It's hard to know.
The people around him naturally paid close attention to each other's developments, and quickly told him something that happened at yesterday's premiere.
He also saw the report "Li Jingkun is not afraid of Zhou Xingxing, and speaks loudly at the premiere". He means playing in the ring.
"This young man is quite smart."
Zhou Xingxing was talking about the other party’s choice of the Spring Festival schedule; even if someone else suggested it to Li Jingkun at the beginning, but as a speaker, he can listen to other people’s opinions and then choose this schedule to release, which is quite courageous.
And I'm not afraid of Zhou Xingxing, who doesn't raise the file or postpone it, which can be said to be quite courageous.
But even though there were thousands of thoughts in his mind, Zhou Xingxing only said one or two sentences in the end:
"Let's just do what we do."
······
Of course, the bibs are also very lively these days. The official bibs of "Detective Chinatown" are updated at least three or five times a day. After the premiere, many pictures of the scene were continuously posted.Liu Tianxian, Damimi, Gao Meiyuan, Mao Xiaotong and others are naturally the key traffic targets, after all, they are relatively popular; information about them is also relatively popular.
Although Liu Tianxian hasn't opened the salary scarf yet, her fans are everywhere, which doesn't affect the film crew's enthusiasm for her.
And those who have opened the scarf naturally reposted their own beautiful photos, and at the same time left a message to support the new movie and interacted.
Mao Xiaotong's scarf was also very lively, because many people knew that she had lent money to Li Jingkun, that is to say, she was also responsible for the successful filming of "Detective Chinatown".So many people went to her to leave messages for her, calling her a "big rich woman", praising her for being "righteous" and "seeking support".
"Although I haven't seen this movie yet, I still admire you for spending so much money to support him!"
"Ten million is really not a small amount!"
"Recently, I have been really interested in this movie, and I really want to see it released soon!"
Then, some senior fans also wrote a small article, analyzing the gossip history of Mao Xiaotong and Li Jingkun, speculating that they have an ulterior relationship.
"Oh, it's too unreasonable for this to be unofficial!
Because I feel that the relationship between the two is not so good!
The two had worked together in "Introduction to Architecture" from the very beginning. It stands to reason that Mao Xiaotong only played a supporting role at that time, and the two of them shouldn't spend much time together in the crew, right?
But in the end it became so familiar, I think something must have happened in the middle!
Then they suddenly cooperated again later, and this time they directly gave her the script of the heroine of the TV series!
This is the first TV series directed by Li Jingkun. Before that, Mao Xiaotong hadn't acted as a heroine seriously, had he?Why did you choose her all of a sudden?Is Gu Xiaona or others inappropriate?I can't even see it, can I?
I believe many people can still vividly remember how much popularity "Suddenly This Summer" caused before, and it is still very popular on the Internet.It can be said that this drama has given Mao Xiaotong the confidence and strength to continue to play other heroines; her current reputation and number of fans can also explain the problem.
So why don't you shoot such an excellent TV series for an artist under your own banner, but for an outsider?
Finally, this is the latest incident. Regarding the "Detective Chinatown", what kind of relationship can a girl lend a boy so much money?
And even though Mao Xiaotong debuted very early, there are basically no heroines, so could the 1000 million be all her savings over the years?
Ordinary friendship, will she spend all her savings to support a man's film career?
Ask yourself, even if you have so much money, you don’t need 1000 million. If you only have 10, would you lend it all to your friends for business?
I can't see how many people can do it?
······
So, my conclusion is that there is indeed a high probability that they are together..."

(End of this chapter)
At the end of the film screening, the audience immediately gave applause and cheers.
The hosts Meng Fei and Li Ai came back to the stage.
"Is the movie good?" Meng Fei asked everyone.
"It's beautiful!" Many people shouted.
Meng Fei said: "Oh, it's really exciting. Everyone performed very well."
Li Ai said: "Yeah, envy, jealousy, hate, I really want to act in such a movie!"
"Then you have to discuss it with the director, and then replace Gao Meiyuan."
"Hahaha, then I don't dare, and I can't compare. I can't afford the title of 'the most beautiful woman in Chinatown'."
Everyone watched with a smile, and Gao Meiyuan, whose name was read, also covered her mouth and smiled happily in the audience.
I couldn't help being so happy, because I felt that the movie was excellent, and I still looked good in the movie.
Have to say this man made another good movie!
Then the host invited all the main creators to come on stage and let them accept everyone's questions.
So Li Jingkun, Huang Baoqiang, Bai Jingting, Gao Meiyuan, Xiao Yang, Cheng He, Song Zufan, Xiao Shenyang and others all walked up.
At the beginning, Li Jingkun received the most questions, and then most of the others were asked one or two questions.
"I would like to ask the director why he chose to shoot such a story in the first place."
"One is as I said before, I have made a lot of youth films, so I plan to change the subject; the other is that I have always liked detective or suspense films, but if they are too serious, I am afraid they will not be interesting enough, so It adds an element of comedy."
"So when you wrote the script, did you use Huang Baoqiang as the prototype?"
"Hahaha, yes, the character 'Tang Ren' is basically described in his image, so his tone and actions will naturally be substituted. Now that the movie is out, I also think his performance is very good,' Tang Ren' is him, he is 'Tang Ren'."
"Hello director, hello creators, I want to ask the director, the last shot is the scene of them going to the United States, does it mean that there will be a second part later?"
"Yes, if all goes well, there will be at least three works in "Detective Chinatown". This was determined in the early stage of creation, so there will be sequels."
After the others answered one or two questions, another beautiful woman raised her hand; both Meng Fei and Li Ai laughed, and Meng Fei said, "Okay, now pass the microphone to that beautiful woman—OK, thank you, may I ask?" Mao Xiaotong, do you have any questions to ask?"
Yes, the one standing up this time is the very cute and beautiful Mao Xiaotong in a princess dress.
So many viewers who knew her cheered loudly. After all, "Suddenly This Summer" had just been broadcast a while ago, and the ratings of the second and third rounds were also good, so she is now well-known and has many fans.
Mao Xiaotong said with a smile: "I would like to ask the director, you have starred in both "Introduction to Architecture" and "Positive Physique" before, and you have acted quite well, why didn't you act yourself this time?"
Meng Fei nodded: "Okay, that's a good question, now let's see what the director said."
Li Jingkun said: "Actually, this question is very simple. After all, this is a comedy film, and the director is too handsome. (If you participate in the role), I am afraid that you will make a play..."
Before Li Jingkun finished speaking, many people started booing and booing; at the same time, many people couldn't help laughing.
Moreover, his words not only aroused the reaction of the audience, but also several male actors on the stage became irritable.
Cheng He said: "That's not right, so it's easy for the audience to play when they see me, after all I'm so handsome..."
Xiao Yang retorted: "If you say handsome, I should be more handsome than you, right?"
Cheng He said, "Are you blind?"
"Are you blind?"
"I said where did you get the confidence?"
"Where did you get your confidence?"
The two people on the stage "pinched" again, which made people think of the "enemy" relationship between the two in the play, so they couldn't help laughing.
Then another man stood up, holding a microphone and saying, "Hi, I'm Zhang Zhiliang, a reporter from "Popular Film and Television" magazine. "Detective Chinatown" is obviously a very good movie, and I personally like it very much." , the reasoning part is also very good, to be honest, the overall quality is a bit beyond my expectation.
However, I also attended the premiere of Zhou Xingxing's "Journey to the West: Conquering the Devil" a while ago. I have to say that it is also a very good work, and Zhou Xingxing's creative ability is still very strong.So what I want to ask the director is, are you worried about the box office results?Wouldn't it be a lose-lose situation for two blockbuster films to be released at the same time during the Spring Festival? "
As soon as this question came out, the joyful and brisk atmosphere at the scene subsided a bit. After all, this is a very realistic and real problem.Moreover, the popularity of the two films is also very high these days; everyone present knows that these two works are now in a competitive relationship.
In the past Spring Festival stalls, the box office market was not high.
So if most viewers choose to watch "Journey to the West: Conquer the Devil", then the box office of "Chinatown" will definitely be greatly affected.
And judging from the recent public opinion feedback, this probability is not small, after all, Zhou Xingxing's appeal is too great.Many people on the Internet said that they owed him a movie ticket, and they all said that they had to pay it back during the Spring Festival.So it is normal to worry about being dominated by the opponent's family and being killed by the winner.
However, unlike the worried expressions of others, Li Jingkun was quite calm. He picked up the microphone and said:
"I think your question is really good. Maybe this is something that my collaborators, my friends, and even my fans are worried about recently. After all, who wouldn't like Zhou Xingxing's movie? Including me too.
But I am not worried at all that the box office will not look good, on the contrary, I am more optimistic than everyone; because I think this is not the result of who will beat who, but a scene where 1+1 is greater than 2.
That is, we will achieve each other and complement each other, and together we will make the Spring Festival market bigger and achieve success together.
After all, both of our movies can be said to be a family carnival, and they are both movies that bring joy to everyone during the Chinese New Year. I don’t think everyone will mind watching the two movies together in turn.Even viewers who like it very much may do it twice and three times. "
Zhang Zhiliang asked a good question, and Li Jingkun's answer was also very beautiful.So many people applauded, and Zhang Zhili also said "thank you" before sitting down.
Many people laughed again under Li Jingkun's confidence; but in fact, many people did not fully believe his words.I think he is just keeping calm on the surface. After all, he is the director and the person in charge of the project. He must not be the first to lose confidence.
And I also said that everyone will brush twice and brush three times... I feel a little too optimistic, and generally not many people will do this.
The time for asking questions was almost over. Unexpectedly, Li Jingkun added a project temporarily, that is, he wanted to ask Mao Xiaotong to come up and say a few words.
There are a lot of big names coming tonight, and there are also a lot of beauties. Da Mimi, Liu Tianxian and others are all female stars who can get hot topics tomorrow.I also missed Da Mimi just now, and asked her to stand up and interact.It's just that I haven't invited any guests to the stage.
When Mao Xiaotong was first called to come up, she sat there shaking her head and waving her hands, expressing that she did not want to come up.
But Li Jingkun did not give up, and directly called her name: "Mao Xiaotong, please come up."
The audience didn't know why, but it didn't stop them booing.
Mao Xiaotong shouted: "I have no problem."
Li Jingkun took the microphone and said: "Hurry up, come up and say a few words-don't force me to be tough!"
Everyone burst into laughter, and Mao Xiaotong also smiled speechlessly, covering his forehead.In the end, she had no choice but to lift her skirt and walk onto the stage from the auditorium.
She is wearing an off-white dress tonight, in the style of a little princess, her skin is still so white and bright, and her face is still delicate and lovely.
After coming to the stage, she was arranged to stand beside Li Jingkun.
At this time, everyone's attention was also on the two of them, because they all wanted to know what Li Jingkun asked her to do.
Li Jingkun said, "Come on, let me introduce you again."
Meng Fei said, "Oh, Xiaotong still needs an introduction?"
Li Jingkun said: "I want it, and I have to introduce it grandly."
Li Ai smiled and said, "Ah? You don't want an official announcement, do you?"
The audience was in an uproar, and then booed loudly again.Mao Xiaotong blushed even more, covered her mouth and smiled - to be honest, she didn't know why she was called up.
But when everyone saw Li Jingkun's seriousness, many people really thought this was the answer.
"No way? Are they together?"
"Ah? When did it happen?"
"Is this true? Zeng Xiaoxian?"
"I don't know, Miss."
"Didn't you just say that you know each other very well?"
"During the two months of filming, did you not see Mao Xiaotong?"
When this guess came out, many people were extremely surprised.Even Gao Meiyuan on stage had to look at Mao Xiaotong again.
But Li Jingkun quickly broke everyone's guess, he said: "No, in fact, I want to thank her grandly here, and at the same time, I would like to introduce to you—in fact, Xiaotong can also be said to be an investor in this movie. one."
"what?"
Everyone is even more confused, thanks to her?Why?And it has to be a grand thank you?
Also, didn't it mean that the only investors were Longqi Film and Television and Shangyue.com?Why is there another one?
Several high-level executives of Yueshi.com in the audience were also a little puzzled, after all, there was no name of Mao Xiaotong or Mao Xiaotong's agency in the contract.
Li Jingkun said: "Perhaps many people know that it was very difficult for me to attract investment for this film before. In the end, Yueshi.com supported me and invested tens of millions. But there is still a shortfall of tens of millions, because we The income of the last movie was not bad, so I planned to pay for the rest by myself, and if it was not enough, I would go for a loan; but in the end, I found that there was still a shortfall of 1000 million, and then Xiaotong said, she paid for the 1000 million... ·”
Only then did everyone suddenly realize that the 1000 million investment in this movie was made by Mao Xiaotong?
"I was very moved at the time, but also a little scared, because 1000 million is not a small amount." Li Jingkun said.
Yes, it is not easy to find someone to borrow money these days, let alone such a high amount.
Not to mention ordinary people, even the celebrities present, even if some of them are worth hundreds of millions, it is impossible to just lend 1000 million to others.
In other words, it is not so easy for ordinary people to borrow 2000 yuan from others...
But Li Jingkun said that it is understandable to be moved, why is he afraid?
Meng Fei is a good fan, he asked everyone this question.
Li Jingkun said: "Because the number is too huge, 1000 million——I once wondered if she wanted to keep me."
"puff!"
Everyone laughed, and Mao Xiaotong even kicked him angrily.
No one expected that the atmosphere of sighing and moving just now would be punctured by him all at once.
Several actresses in the audience also smiled speechlessly.
Li Jingkun continued: "Later, she said that she had confidence in my film and my script, so she lent me the money. I also repaid her trust, saying that if she made money, she would be considered a shareholder. I will pay her dividends when I lose money; if I lose money, I won’t pay the interest, and just pay back the principal.”
Only then did everyone fully understand what he meant by asking Mao Xiaotong to come up. It turned out that he wanted to thank her for her kindness in helping and knowing people.So there was applause.
However, people in the circle must have different thoughts. Celebrities borrowing money, this is not something to show off.So Li Jingkun even brought up such embarrassing things for the sake of the film, for publicity, and for eyeballs?
Uh, it seems that "Journey to the West Conquering the Demons" is also speculating on the news that the heroine Shu Qi is secretly married...
For the business of hundreds of millions of dollars, everyone has done everything that should be done.
Finally, all the main creators took a group photo on stage.Mao Xiaotong also became one of them.
Then the camera turned around and took a picture with all the audience friends present.
······
After the premiere, the general audience activities will be over; however, the media and guests can continue to participate in the post-screening exchange reception.
After all, it was meal time, so at least one meal had to be taken care of.
As the biggest protagonist tonight, Li Jingkun is naturally very busy, there are many people who need to entertain, and there are also many people around.
But Master Han Shan is here, so he must give priority to staying with him.
"I've also watched Zhou Xingxing's movie. It's very good. There are so many highlights. We really can't take it lightly." Han Shan said.
"I understand that we may lose out in terms of fame and influence, so we have to work harder on publicity, so we held a few roadshows before the release; and we will start the roadshow soon after the release. This time we It is planned for 16 days, if the box office results are good, we will apply for a key extension, and then extend the road show for another 10 days." Li Jingkun said.
Although the road show is not long, it is actually quite tiring, because most of the time is on the road.And by then, not all actors may be able to finish the road show, one is tired, and the other is that they may have other arrangements.
If he wants to run through these cities, he can only rely on himself.Of course, Bai Jingting and Xiao Yang are their contracted artists after all, and they will definitely stay around for a few more days.
Although the road show is tiring, the effect will be very good.This is also an advantage of his foresight.
At present, most people have not realized the benefits of roadshows, even though he has already demonstrated it in "Introduction to Architecture" last time.But because not many people have personally experienced its benefits, not many people still pay attention to this means of publicity.
Including Zhou Xingxing.He didn't start the road show until "The Mermaid" was released, and it was the kind of crazy road show.
"You still want to extend the key? Then you are quite confident."
"It's okay, good or bad, you have to be prepared."
"It's pretty good too," Master Han Shan paused, "When will the second part be arranged?"
Li Jingkun said: "Not so fast, at least two or three years."
"Does it take that long?"
"One is that it takes time to create, one is that the interest is temporarily attracted by other themes, and the other is that waiting for two or three years is also good for the movie. Wait a few more years, and the fans of this movie will accumulate more and more. At that time, their expectations will be higher, and the box office may be more explosive."
Master Han Shan nodded: "So there are plans for the next movie?"
Li Jingkun said: "I have an idea, but I haven't made a final decision yet. It is likely to be a medium- and low-cost work." This means that Longqi Film and Television may be able to secure the full amount of funds by itself, or add one or two investors at most. enough.
And if "Detective Chinatown" is successful, then Longqi Film and Television and Li Jingkun will have more say, and the investors may get more funds than before in order to get the same proportion of dividends as before.
Han Shanye said: "It's okay, we have been working together very happily, and we can continue to communicate and cooperate more in the future."
After separating from Master Han Shan, Li Jingkun's second wave of contacts were from Perfect Planet.
The topics of conversation were similar, firstly congratulating him on the success of his new film, then chatting about "Hummingbird" to enhance their relationship, and finally back to the topic, hoping to have the opportunity to continue to cooperate in the future.
Today's event is relatively large, and there are many people who come, of course, it is impossible for him to entertain all of them.The general manager of Longqi Film and Television, several deputy general managers and other high-level officials were naturally present, and they would come over to talk to him about any important situations in the middle.
After chatting with the female artist, it became easier, and Mao Xiaotong took a few shots, saying that if I want to talk about it today, I won't tell her in advance.
Wan Qian, Zhou Dongyu, Yang Zini, Gu Xiaona, Li Xian, Zhu Yilong and others didn't have much time to pay attention to them, they just greeted them when they saw them.
Sun Honglei, Huang Sanshi, and Xu Haofeng chatted a few more words.There are also several leading actors of "Love Apartment", because I liked this drama very much for a while, so I naturally like these actors, so I chatted for a while.
It's been a long time since I met Da Mimi, but this woman quickly brought the topic to the movie version of "The Year in a Hurry".
"I didn't get involved much in this movie, and there was only one leading actor before."
"Isn't the copyright in your hands? Why don't you make it yourself? Or you can cooperate with us. We don't want much, just a heroine."
Li Jingkun said: "Cooperate with you? Do you have a production team of Mercedes-Benz? Do you have a big-name director? Do you have a distribution channel?"
And, if you do work with you, would you only want a heroine role?
That is to say, it is not available now, and the requirements are relatively low.
Da Mimi said: "Wow, okay, you are looking down on our company now, right?"
Li Jingkun said: ""The Year in a Hurry" has director Zhang Yibai from Mercedes-Benz, and they will handle the script, and they will also set up the filming team. Basically, it can be said that [-] to [-]% of the production of the movie version is made by them. Responsible. If we cooperate with you, what can you produce? Just one or two actresses?"
"...It's not that you can't hire people. Besides, can't you make your own?"
"Of course we can make it ourselves, but if we make it ourselves, why should we cooperate with your company? You don't have much to offer in terms of movies, right?"
"...So I'm here to help you stand today, and you're just going to hate me like this?"
Well, this woman is about to start cheating.
Li Jingkun said: "We have already promised not to interfere with the arrangement of other characters in this movie, and the heroine should have been determined. If there is no accident, Nini will play the role."
Da Mimi was helpless: "Okay, what about the TV series?"
Li Jingkun said: "The TV version of "The Year in a Hurry" is gone. The actors have all been confirmed, and it will be launched after a while. And I guess you are not very interested, right? Ours is an online drama."
"...Then remember to think of me and my artists next time."
"Yes, exchange resources and recommend each other."
Li Jingkun is still very interested in "Gu Jian Qi Tan", among other things, at least put Gu Xiaona in it.
With her current status, it's no problem to act as the second female lead, right?Isn't it shabby to act as a big honey for you?
If possible, Zhu Yilong can also play a role, the third male and the fourth male are fine, and the second male will not refuse.
""Ancient Sword and Strange Tan"? Gu Xiaona? It's not impossible, my opinion is still quite useful, but I have to look at what the director and producer mean."
Li Jingkun nodded: "It's okay, audition for the audition, meet for the meeting, find a time to make an appointment for us. We can bring money into the group."
Da Mimi was a little surprised: "You still bring funds into the group? Are you so kind to your artists?"
"I can't help it. There is only one female artist in my family. Who is better if I don't treat her well? By the way, I will also help to see if there are any roles for the second male and the third male. Our Zhu Yilong is also very handsome, and he is also very suitable for acting in ancient costumes."
"..."
Da Mimi is a little skeptical about life, no matter how she thinks about it, she feels something is wrong.
Today, she obviously wanted to find some movie resources and connections, why didn't the resources find it, and she had to find some more?
······
Of course Liu Tianxian couldn't miss it, but their mother and daughter didn't stay together for long, and they were going to say goodbye to him soon.
Ms. Liu said: "If you have the opportunity, you can also cooperate with our Sissy. She is very serious and dedicated to acting." Ms. Liu also has to admit that today's movie is very good.And "the most beautiful woman in Chinatown"?I feel that there is no problem for her daughter to play the role.
Although there are not many heroines in this play.
Li Jingkun said: "Definitely, there will definitely be opportunities in the future."
Then Liu Tianxian also spoke up: "The film was shot very well, and the results will definitely be very good!"
Li Jingkun said: "Thank you, and I will trouble you today."
"It's okay, I just have a lot of free time recently, so I also want to watch a new movie to relax; and not only did I watch a good movie today, but I also have a lot of friends here, and I had a good chat just now."
"That's good. I'm afraid that the reception will not be good. I've been very busy. There are so many people, I can't take care of everyone."
"It's okay, I understand. As a director and boss, I must be very busy; I saw it just now. The people around me have never stopped."
"Haha, I'm a bit busy before and after the screening, and sometimes I feel more tired than when I was filming."
"Yes, socializing with people is sometimes tiring." Liu Tianxian glanced at his mother and felt that he couldn't keep talking like this, so he waved to him: "Let's do this first, we're going back. Bye. "
"Okay, goodbye. Auntie, Senior Sister, please go."
Mother Liu and Liu Tianxian walked out together, and greeted people they knew.
"No need to send it, we can go back by ourselves."
"It's okay, just send it to the elevator."
Liu Tianxian suddenly whispered to him: "After all, we are friends, right? Is it okay to always call me Senior Sister? You can just call me by my name."
"······OK."
The elevator arrived soon, and the two walked in, waving goodbye again.
·······
"The premiere of "Detective Chinatown" is dazzling, and the star directors all hold family fun!"
"At the premiere of "Detective Chinatown", Liu Tianxian came to help out!"
"Big Mimi appeared at the premiere, standing for "Detective Chinatown"!"
"At the premiere of "Detective Chinatown", Li Jingkun revealed that he borrowed money to film!"
"Li Jingkun is not afraid of Zhou Xingxing, and he made bold words at the premiere!"
After the premiere, there was no need to wait until the next day. A lot of information came out that night; after all, this is the era of new media.
There are also many hot spots in this event, such as the support of Han Shanye, Liu Tianxian, Da Mimi, etc. For example, Li Jingkun revealed that he borrowed 1000 million from Mao Xiaotong to make a movie; for example, the quality of the movie was unexpected and so on.So it quickly became a hot topic on major websites; at the same time, many movie reviews were published one after another. Naturally, there were a lot of praises and surprises, etc.
Zhou Xingxing also saw the news the next day. After all, everyone now knows that their two blockbuster films will "fight" during the Spring Festival. It's hard to know.
The people around him naturally paid close attention to each other's developments, and quickly told him something that happened at yesterday's premiere.
He also saw the report "Li Jingkun is not afraid of Zhou Xingxing, and speaks loudly at the premiere". He means playing in the ring.
"This young man is quite smart."
Zhou Xingxing was talking about the other party’s choice of the Spring Festival schedule; even if someone else suggested it to Li Jingkun at the beginning, but as a speaker, he can listen to other people’s opinions and then choose this schedule to release, which is quite courageous.
And I'm not afraid of Zhou Xingxing, who doesn't raise the file or postpone it, which can be said to be quite courageous.
But even though there were thousands of thoughts in his mind, Zhou Xingxing only said one or two sentences in the end:
"Let's just do what we do."
······
Of course, the bibs are also very lively these days. The official bibs of "Detective Chinatown" are updated at least three or five times a day. After the premiere, many pictures of the scene were continuously posted.Liu Tianxian, Damimi, Gao Meiyuan, Mao Xiaotong and others are naturally the key traffic targets, after all, they are relatively popular; information about them is also relatively popular.
Although Liu Tianxian hasn't opened the salary scarf yet, her fans are everywhere, which doesn't affect the film crew's enthusiasm for her.
And those who have opened the scarf naturally reposted their own beautiful photos, and at the same time left a message to support the new movie and interacted.
Mao Xiaotong's scarf was also very lively, because many people knew that she had lent money to Li Jingkun, that is to say, she was also responsible for the successful filming of "Detective Chinatown".So many people went to her to leave messages for her, calling her a "big rich woman", praising her for being "righteous" and "seeking support".
"Although I haven't seen this movie yet, I still admire you for spending so much money to support him!"
"Ten million is really not a small amount!"
"Recently, I have been really interested in this movie, and I really want to see it released soon!"
Then, some senior fans also wrote a small article, analyzing the gossip history of Mao Xiaotong and Li Jingkun, speculating that they have an ulterior relationship.
"Oh, it's too unreasonable for this to be unofficial!
Because I feel that the relationship between the two is not so good!
The two had worked together in "Introduction to Architecture" from the very beginning. It stands to reason that Mao Xiaotong only played a supporting role at that time, and the two of them shouldn't spend much time together in the crew, right?
But in the end it became so familiar, I think something must have happened in the middle!
Then they suddenly cooperated again later, and this time they directly gave her the script of the heroine of the TV series!
This is the first TV series directed by Li Jingkun. Before that, Mao Xiaotong hadn't acted as a heroine seriously, had he?Why did you choose her all of a sudden?Is Gu Xiaona or others inappropriate?I can't even see it, can I?
I believe many people can still vividly remember how much popularity "Suddenly This Summer" caused before, and it is still very popular on the Internet.It can be said that this drama has given Mao Xiaotong the confidence and strength to continue to play other heroines; her current reputation and number of fans can also explain the problem.
So why don't you shoot such an excellent TV series for an artist under your own banner, but for an outsider?
Finally, this is the latest incident. Regarding the "Detective Chinatown", what kind of relationship can a girl lend a boy so much money?
And even though Mao Xiaotong debuted very early, there are basically no heroines, so could the 1000 million be all her savings over the years?
Ordinary friendship, will she spend all her savings to support a man's film career?
Ask yourself, even if you have so much money, you don’t need 1000 million. If you only have 10, would you lend it all to your friends for business?
I can't see how many people can do it?
······
So, my conclusion is that there is indeed a high probability that they are together..."
