Chapter 177 I Want to Give You Many Gifts

In early December, the movie "The Year in a Hurry" starring Li Xian and Nini was released.

The box office is very impressive, with 1.9 million box office in the first week, and the first shot of the Lunar New Year file was fired.

During the same period, "Four Famous Catch 2" starring Liu Tianxian and others was also released, and the results were not bad, with a score of 8000 million in the first three days.

"Sweeping Drugs" and "No Man's Land", which were released for a few days, followed closely behind.But the box office champion was still taken away by the small-budget youth film "The Year in a Hurry".

Of course, Li Jingkun also made some publicity on the scarf, and then flew to Bangzi Country.

"Our World" even finished the post-production a while ago, but because I was busy before, I didn't pay much attention to it.

In fact, he also felt that he did it on purpose, after all, it was a work returned to her, so she could handle it herself.

But this time it was delayed long enough, so I still found a time to come here.

"It's very good, the effect is very good, and several actors performed very well. Letting children be actors and protagonists is actually quite tiring and difficult to operate. I didn't expect you to do it, and the filming is really good. .”

"No, it's because you created it yourself, and I didn't change much."

Kimbella is as gentle as ever, but her abilities are quite good.The movie is really well done.

Li Jingkun said: "Then do you have any plans for it now?"

Kim Bella said: "I think it can be taken to the film festival to compete for awards first, to see if it can get a few nominations or awards, which will also benefit its subsequent release."

Li Jingkun nodded: "Actually, it's a bit difficult to get too much box office with this kind of subject matter. It's not bad to take the film festival route first, and it's also of great benefit to you. At the same time, it can be sold in several countries at the film festival." It's pretty good too."

"Yes, so you won't go together, right?"

"..."

Kim Bella's observation skills are also very good. After all, he hasn't been here for so long. Even if he is busy making movies, he can still contact him occasionally, right?
So she also has her own guesses.

But these were things she had been mentally prepared for, weren't they?

Not only is there a big age gap between the two, but they are also from different countries. It is difficult for them to have a longer-term development, let alone such an excellent person.

Moreover, all the previous "incidents" were also provoked by her!

She was psychologically prepared for this, and she planned to do so, didn't she?

"This is the script I wrote for it, but in fact it was you who made it, you are the final creator of it. After all, the film is the director's work, isn't it? I think you understand the story much better than I do now gone."

Kimbella smiled and didn't answer. She didn't interrupt the entanglement with this question, but talked about other things.

Finally, she also talked about a girl group they had talked about before, she said: "Now I know a few girls from 'Thigh Times', I have contact information for everyone, I even have their manager's phone number Yes."

Li Jingkun said, "Really? How did you meet?"

"I met them at an event, and I actually got to know them on purpose. After all, I always knew that Jing Kun liked them, so I thought I could introduce them to you one day."

"..."

Li Jingkun was a little speechless and a little surprised, not knowing what she wanted to do.

"The girls are quite cute, especially their front desk and captain, they are very beautiful. By the way, their youngest is also very cute. Although they feel a bit stubborn in some aspects, they are also stubborn and cute—— Well, the legs are also very long and white!"

"..."

······
Two weeks after the release of "The Year in a Hurry", it once again won the box office champion of this week with a box office score of 2 million.

The total box office is also close to 4 million.

However, although the box office is good, the word-of-mouth of the film is relatively mediocre.

The production companies of "The Year in a Hurry" are Longqi Film and Television and Pony Benz, and Li Jingkun is also one of the producers, so of course he was also scolded.

After all, many people came here because they heard the name of Longqi Film and Television. After all, many people also came to see the movie because of the high quality of the previous TV series.

However, there are also many people complaining about him. After all, he is not the screenwriter and director of this work.

Besides, even if he directs the film, it is difficult for anyone to guarantee that all his works are of good quality, right?
However, director Zhang Yibo and other main creators must have succeeded in the eyes of the producers, distributors and theaters, and in the eyes of capital.

After all, this movie made a lot of money!

In fact, this also has a lot to do with the market. At present, the film market is booming, and audiences have a relatively high tolerance for many works; For ordinary works, it is difficult to get a high box office.

In fact, it's not just "The Year in a Hurry" that got a high box office while being scolded. The movie "Four Famous Catchers 2" at the same time has worse reputation and quality, but its box office is actually not bad.

In any case, Longqi Film and Television made a lot of money again this time!
"Hehe, it's no problem to buy two more villas."

Facing Liu Tianxian, Li Jingkun still couldn't help but flinch.

Of course Liu Tianxian was also very happy for him, so she couldn't help giving him a big sip in the face.

Although she also has a lot of money and her earning ability is not bad, but who doesn't want to see her significant other is also very capable?
"What gift do you like? Give you one—no, give you a few!"

After dating for so long, I actually gave her some gifts one after another.But I was busy before, so I didn't spend too much time and money on her.Recently, I finally had some leisure time and made a lot of money, so I wanted to give her more things.

There must be a lot of things that girls like. Clothes, cosmetics, bags, necklaces, etc., at least arrange one of each, right?

"Being so nice to me? Buying so many things all at once?"

"It just so happens that I have it, and it just so happens that you like it, so I want to give you more and better things."

Liu Tianxian was very touched, so of course the two of them were hugging and sitting on the soft sofa at this time - it was still in the honeymoon period, so it's normal to want to be tired of being together.

"But you are giving me so many things now, aren't you afraid that you will have to give me more when there are festivals in the future?"

"It's okay, won't I be richer by then? And I've given you my whole body, what else can't I give you?"

"Pfft, I'm so shameless—I gave you my whole body, right?"

"When I thought about it, I filled the cloakroom at home with you."

The villa is not only equipped with a swimming pool and a dance room for her, but of course the cloakroom for the future hostess is also prepared to be more spacious and beautiful.

"I don't live here..."

"That's why I want to help you build a very rich and beautiful cloakroom, so that you will always be attracted, don't you always want to come and live here? Besides, my dance studio is also very beautiful, and the private cinema and karaoke system are also very beautiful. The decoration is very luxurious, I'll see if you can resist this temptation!"

"Hahaha—you are so bad!"

Li Jingkun told her clearly what he was thinking, but it made her think he was cute and honest, so she couldn't help but hold his face and give him a few mouthfuls.

······
In December, the villa continued to be remodeled and decorated, and some furniture was ordered back.

At the end of the month, Li Jingkun went to the Huabiao Awards. Gao Meiyuan, Gu Xiaona, and Li Xian happened to be free, so they went together.

However, "Introduction to Architecture" only won one excellent story award, and more than ten works such as "Partner in China", "1942", "12 Zodiac", "33 Days of Broken Love" and so on won this award at the same time .

Moreover, this awards ceremony implements the requirement of "stopping extravagance and advocating frugal evening parties", strictly saves expenses and costs, does not walk on the red carpet, does not engage in luxurious sound and light packaging, and does not invite celebrities at high prices.

However, there were still many big names coming that night.

That night, I also chatted with Zui Zheng, Zhang Ziyi, Brother Long, and Huang Jiaozhu. Nini and Bai Baihe also said hello because they had a cooperative relationship.

Director Gangzi and Wang Zhongshi were also there, and they talked more with the latter.

"Private Customization" has achieved good results recently, with a box office of 3.2 million in the first week, setting a new box office record for Chinese films in China.

The number of film schedules has also been rising all the way, and most movie theaters account for more than half of the screenings, which is rare in the industry.

Other films, such as "The Year in a Hurry" and "The Four 2" have been squeezed.

However, these two works are actually weak in succession, and the score of "The Year in a Hurry" at this time is in the early 5 million.

However, the box office results are outstanding, but the word-of-mouth of "Private Customization" is very poor.There are a lot of complaints about the plot, and 19 advertisements were inserted in this movie. Before the movie was released, 9000 million in advertising revenue was recovered.

Because there were too many complaints, the director once again sparred with the audience on the scarf.

It is also a familiar plot and a familiar picture.

Then at the beginning of January, another big event happened in the circle.

The founder of Benz Pony suddenly died of illness.

The company failed to go public before the end of 13, and the deal with investors failed!
His widow bears 2 million debts!

A promising film and television company suffered the most serious damage!
In addition to grief inside the company, it is also natural that the hearts of the people are scattered.

Many people have also begun to focus on their assets, such as directors, screenwriters, distribution channels and theaters, etc.

A few days later, Longqi Film and Television also brought up this matter again.

The main reason was because an old friend of Sheng Yuan wanted to switch to Longqi, and the second reason was because their senior management actually had ideas.

"How long has it been since then? Isn't it immoral to take advantage of other people's assets?"

Li Jingkun has met the founder of Pony Benz several times, and he and Zhang Yibai came to the company to discuss the cooperation of "The Year in a Hurry".So it's still sad.

"In fact, their company has been in chaos for a long time, and the internal struggle has become serious recently. Others also have their own thoughts, and everyone has to think about their own future." Sheng Yuan said.

His old friend is the manager of a department of the other company, and he is also very capable and experienced; and Longqi Film and Television has also achieved outstanding results in recent years, and the co-produced "The Year in a Hurry" with them also achieved very good results , so it is also one of the companies that many people want to change jobs.

Zhou Deze said: "This kind of thing happened, of course no one wants to see it. And many companies have already started contacting them..."

Sheng Yuan nodded and said: "Several companies have already contacted Ning Hao, Zhang Yibai and others, but no one will make a decision so quickly."

"Ning Hao..."

This is Li Jingkun's senior, and one of the most promising young directors today. Of course, he also hopes to have in-depth cooperation with him.

However, there must be many competitors, and they are definitely bigger than Long Qi.

For example, large companies such as Guangli and Zhongyi.

Sheng Yuan said: "Compared to talents such as directors and screenwriters, I am actually more interested in their distribution channels and theaters..."

If Longqi Film and Television wants to go public, it is very important to have a complete business sector. The distribution department has been established, but they do not have their own theaters.

Of course, it doesn’t mean that you can’t go public without theaters, but if you can have your own theaters, then the success rate and market value will definitely be higher.

Zhou Deze said: "These are very expensive..."

Sheng Yuan said: "We are...not this year, we made a lot of money in 13."

Even if Li Jingkun took away 1 million, the figures in the company's accounts are still scary.

Movies include "Detective Chinatown", "Hummingbird", and "The Year in a Hurry"; TV dramas include "Hello, Old Times" and "The Year in a Hurry", each of which has brought huge profits to the company.

Therefore, there are many talents who want to work in Rulongqi Film and Television.

The salary is high, and the bonus is even higher!
After the success of these projects, almost all of them can get a certain degree of bonus!
Under the reward, there must be a brave man!

Moreover, the company has not yet been listed, so if you come in to hitchhike at this time, you won't be able to escape if you don't say that you are worth more than one billion, at least tens of millions, right?

However, Li Jingkun was very calm. He said: "At present, the founder of Pony Benz has passed away, and it's not that the company has gone bankrupt. They will sooner or later introduce a new manager. Don't think about it for the time being. Wait for them to rectify. I really want to It may be years away when it sells. We won't wait that long."

Recently, his sister-in-law in the company has been making a lot of noise, and many companies are also staring at their business and talents. He really doesn't want to get involved in this muddy water.

As for the theater chain, in fact, the development of movie theaters in the future is not so good. One is that the market will always be saturated, and the other is that the profitability of the theater business is actually not strong, but its investment and operating expenses are not low!

Coupled with the coming of the "film and television winter" in the future, investing in theaters is actually not a very good business.

It's just that if Zhou Deze and the others are really interested, it's okay to build theaters, but they can't be too blind.

As for directors, screenwriters, and other talents, it is still possible to recruit them when the time is right.

It's just that it's not easy to recruit Ning Hao at this time, and even Zhang Yibai has some difficulties.

Because none of them are short of money now, and if they want to make movies, even big companies want to cooperate with them.

The movie divides them into?
They already get a share for making movies now; let alone them, if they want to find Huang Baoqiang to make "Detective Chinatown 2" in the future, he will get the salary + share.

Li Jingkun and Ning Hao met and chatted a long time ago at the College Student Film Festival, but because there is no more cooperation, the relationship is mediocre.

He made his debut earlier than him. In 06, he released the first blockbuster "Crazy Stone", and then "Crazy Racing" and "Golden Robbery" were also very impressive.

So basically domestic film and television companies want to cooperate with him, such as Guangxian, Zhongyi, Perfect Planet, etc., because no one would dislike money.

Therefore, Long Qiying wanted to find him, and the conventional contract would definitely not impress him.Even if he is given shares in the company, he still has to see if the company has any prospects and can provide him with more resources.

company?Could it be that he can't open it himself?
······
Are big directors, big stars, and ready-made theaters and channels alluring?
These are of course very attractive, because these futures will bring him a very rich income.

But Li Jingkun is not greedy at all, because he already has enough things - if he wants, there are a lot of gold mines waiting for him to dig.

Now that he owns Longqi, he has so many capable subordinates, and at the same time he has a lot of copyrights and IPs at hand. He also has many talented and promising artists under his banner, so why should he be so greedy?

Not to mention other things, even if he just guards Longxi Film and Television and develops well, the wealth he can earn is enough for him to eat for several lifetimes, so there is no need to take all the good things for himself.

So facing Zhao Xiaodao, he didn't make a move; facing Ning Hao, he also held the idea of ​​"I'm lucky if I win, but my life is lost".

Besides, why did he take away 1 million funds in advance?In addition to buying a villa, some other money will also be taken to his own investment company to prepare for some future investments.

It's not just about making money through film and television.

"I'm not interested in money".

When it reaches a certain point, money is really just a number.

But Ning Hao still needs to meet, even if it is to reassure Zhou Deze and others.
