Chapter 207 Another Female Star Visits
"What are you looking for for a feather duster? Is it time to clean up now?"

"What do you think I'm looking for for a feather duster?"

"..."

Well, Yang Zini finally softened up.She is willing to negotiate peace.

But in the end she got what she wanted, because Li Jingkun could give her an actor contract, but she couldn't easily change jobs, let alone run away after a year or two.

Then we talked about the contract period.

"8."

"How about 6 years? 6 years is a long time, and I'm not a newcomer, 6 years is enough, right?"

"...Is this what I want to sign now?"

"... Otherwise, how about 7 years? It's because I signed with others for too long when I was young, and I was a little afraid of being tricked, so I didn't dare to sign for so long. In fact, 7 years is quite a long time. And don't worry, this This time, I won't terminate the contract casually - I don't know how much I want to join a company as big as Longqi Film and Television, so how could I leave casually.

And liquidated damages can also be set higher. "

"...All right, I'll let Sheng Yuan and the others talk to you about the other more specific details - tidy up your clothes before going out."

"OK!"

"..."

Things finally came true, Yang Zini was quite happy.If she hadn't been startled by the way Li Jingkun was about to take the feather duster just now, she could go directly to give him a kiss now.

"...What are you still doing here? I've already told Sheng Yuan."

"Okay, then I'll come to you later after signing the contract - isn't there a welcome ceremony?"

······
In fact, "Tuner" has been in secret preparations, and not only one actor has been confirmed, but one of the villains has been quickly determined, and that is Huang Jue.

A domestic actor who is a bit tall and mighty and has been a model.

In 2002, he starred in the movie "Baby in Love" with Mr. Zhou and made his debut. Later, he starred in "Letter from a Strange Woman", "Xiao Hong", "The Allure" and other works.There is no problem with acting skills, and the image and temperament are also in line with this character: he has a good figure and temperament, so he can become the lover of the female villain.

At the same time, he has also acted in many villains, because he also has that fierce temperament.

After a change in his eyes, he will become ruthless, the kind who feels like he has several murders on his back, so he is the villain number two.

The villain No. [-] has also been looking for it. At first, Brother Hua recommended Liu Jialing.

Liu Jialing was also very interested at the beginning, this is the leading female director of a great director; but after all, she is also a person who debuted for many years, she is not short of fame, money, and her peak has long passed, it seems that she is not It takes a villain to prove something.So after thinking about it for a few days, I still refused.

But Li Jingkun is not particularly anxious, because there are many actresses who are suitable for this role, and there will be many people who are willing to cooperate with him and Brother Hua.

So after seeing several actresses who are suitable for this role, I saw Li Binbin's name among the many candidates. I remembered that I had chatted with some events a few times before, and I also had the intention to cooperate, so I sent her an invitation.

"The number one female, but the villain?"

Li Binbin was very happy when she received Li Jingkun's invitation. She didn't expect that the conversations at the event before were not polite words. Li Jingkun really wanted to cooperate with her.

But when I learned that villain No. [-], I also calmed down a bit, because she seldom plays villains, and the setting of this villain is so ruthless: cheating, marrying a lover to kill her husband, pushing the old woman downstairs, poisoning and blinding others eyes and so on.

However, in the past two years, Li Jingkun's commercial films are all popular works that can earn a box office of [-] billion yuan, so she doesn't want to reject it easily, so she quickly made an appointment with Li Jingkun, and then came directly to Longqi Film and Television. Find out more details directly.

······
"Actually, I rarely play villains, especially this kind of role."

It is true that Li Binbin seldom plays villains, maybe the white-haired witch in "The King of Kung Fu" in 08 is one, but that is just a simple villain; the role is definitely not as complicated as in "The Tuner".

And "Tuner" is an absolute heroine!
What this role needs is a woman who has good looks, figure, and acting skills, and looks like a woman in her 30s or 40s.

So is Li Binbin suitable?

In Li Jingkun's opinion, she is of course suitable!
Needless to say the appearance and figure, everyone's aesthetics may be different, but here it is qualified and fits the personality very well.

From a subjective point of view, many people think that she is not a beauty in their own eyes; but from an objective point of view, she is definitely much better than most women.

So there is no doubt about the image.

Then it comes to acting.

Maybe when it comes to this, many people think that her acting skills are not very good.

But Li Jingkun feels that in recent years, she has been in a completely different state from before.

Perhaps in the first few years of her debut, her acting skills were indeed the same as many actresses, relatively immature and with many problems.

But after she has been in the industry for almost 20 years, it would be inappropriate to say that her acting skills are not good enough.

Needless to say the movie "The Wind", she didn't lose the wind even to Mr. Zhou Zhou; in "Shuiyun Ballad", she almost crushed the other heroine; But the limelight has come to an end; "Snow Flower and Secret Fan" is completely her own one-man show.

So no matter from the perspective of image, temperament and acting skills, there is no problem at all for her to play the No. [-] female villain of "The Tuner".

Now it depends on whether she wants to act or not.

"Sister Binbin made her debut much earlier than me. She has read more scripts and acted in more plays than me, so I don't need to tell you anything. You can also think about it for a few more days. There is no rush right now."

Li Jingkun and Li Binbin were sitting opposite each other in the conference room at this time, and the script of "The Tuner" was placed in front of the latter.

Hearing his words at this time, Li Binbin looked up at him: "Don't you want me to take this drama?"

"How come, I don't want you to accept this drama, why did I send you the script first."

"I heard that Miss Jia Ling rejected the role?"

"The first actor we confirmed was Brother Hua. After talking with Brother Hua, he recommended Liu Jialing to me. I thought it was okay, but later she rejected the role."

Li Binbin nodded, thought for a while, then closed the script, and pushed it away from his eyes: "I'm trying to summarize the characteristics of this character, and if you need to help supplement and correct it, you can also talk about it together."

"Ok."

"First of all, the heroine must be a ruthless person, and her acting style is very decisive."

"Yes, these can reflect her characteristics in many places, such as when dealing with her husband's body, such as when throwing the old lady downstairs."

"There are also many places that show her characteristics when dealing with the male protagonist."

"Yes, like when working on his eyes."

Li Binbin continued: "Secondly, she is a woman with very good acting skills."

Li Jingkun nodded: "She even cheated her husband who has decades of acting experience."

"Third, she is able to bend and stretch, and judge the situation. When the situation is not good for her, she is willing to bow her head and admit defeat, and choose to tide over the difficulties temporarily."

"Yes, the mental quality is very strong, and he also knows how to adapt."

"In short, she is a villain who is very intelligent and resourceful, and her IQ is completely online."

"Yes."

"This is a very challenging role. It is an opportunity for actors to show and prove their acting skills; but because it is a relatively ruthless villain, it may also be a little dangerous for actors."

This time Li Jingkun just nodded and said nothing, after all, it was all tacit.

First, Li Binbin is eager to have a good role and a good opportunity to show himself.

Second, in recent years, she has rarely had good works and roles. One is that she has reached her age and there are not many opportunities to choose. Actresses younger and more beautiful than her have sprung up.

"The Sound of the Wind" is already a movie in 09; "I Do" and "Snowflake and Secret Fan" have a relatively average reputation; in recent years, there are "Resident Evil 5" and "Transformers 4"...

Played a small supporting role in some blockbuster films of Omi, playing various soy sauces.

In any case, he can be regarded as a first-line star and first-line actor of Huaguo Entertainment. I don’t know what he thinks these years. Why do I always think that Omi’s is good? Haven’t you seen the prosperity of China in recent years?

Well, maybe it's because I'm getting older, and it's hard to compete with 23-year-old actresses?

Third, this character is indeed too vicious. They don’t know about it in other countries, but many audiences in China are very confused. An actor plays a villain and thinks that he is such a bad person. like doing these bad things...

So as a first-line actor, as a big flower in the entertainment industry, it is normal to have scruples.

······
But the final choice is still left to her, and she doesn't need to persuade her with reasons such as "testing her acting skills" or "having a chance to win an award".

Because they have already fully understood this. One is that they have already won some awards, and the other is that they are not as easy to deceive as they were when they were young.

After all, I have been in this industry for many years, and I basically have a general picture of what evaluations and encounters I will get when I star in a work before starting the film.

So when Brother Hua took over the filming of "Fuchun Mountain Dwelling", didn't he know that it would be a bad movie?

So Xiangjiang director Wang Jing often doesn't know that the film he makes will be a bad movie?
If you know it, you must know it, but many times you still have to shoot after knowing it.

This is another matter.

Back to "The Tuner".

Since Liu Jialing refused and Li Binbin hesitated, wouldn't it be fine to find another actress again?

This is of course possible, and there must be many people who readily agree.The problem is that the role itself also requires certain strength, age, appearance and figure also have certain requirements.

And Li Binbin is an actor who is more suitable for this role, and she is very serious about her work; in addition, Li Jingkun also likes many roles she played in the past, such as "Waiting Alone", such as "Young Zhang Sanfeng" and "Young Bao Qingtian", etc. .

So it's okay to let her ponder and think about it for a while.

······
"Night and Day" only had a 12-day road show, which is considered the least road show and the most leisurely among Li Jingkun's films in the past.

But in fact, the publicity for this movie is not weaker than other movies, let alone other things, there are at least three that are not in the previous movies.

First, went to the Cana Film Festival.The heat generated at that time was not low;
Second, won the "Jury Award" at the Shanghai International Film Festival;
Thirdly, from preparation to filming, to the final film road show, the full name is supported by the series of videos of "Li Jingkun's Filming Diary".

So there are not a lot of publicity resources for it, so there is a reason to reduce the number of roadshow days.

And in fact its stamina is indeed much weaker than other movies.

No way, the subject matter itself is limited.

In addition, he actually has many other things to do, so he only planned a 12-day road show at the beginning.

After the road show, he still needs to prepare for a new movie, namely "The Tuner".After all, the movie hasn't even decided on the protagonist yet.

Another important thing is to help "Old Boy Raptors Cross the River" and "Get Out!"Tumor King" publicity and platform.

Although Li Jingkun himself didn't want to be biased, he still favored some during the actual operation.

One is during the publicity, to "Get Out!"The praises of "Mr. Tumor" are more sincere and frequent, and the director Wen Muye is also highly respected; the other is that more and bigger friends have been attracted to this movie-Ning Hao, Yu Zheng and others also came to the premiere scene.

In fact, I really don't blame him for being biased, because in the internal preview meeting, the feedback of "Get Out" itself was better.Xiao Yang himself admits this...
But other than that, in fact, the promotion of "Old Boy Raptors Crossing the River" is not small.

In May of this year, the song "Little Apple" was released as a promotional song for the movie.

Of course, the song is very popular. It has been heard and sung by ordinary people large and small in China, and it is actually well-known in Asia.

But to be honest, the actual fame they brought to this band is not that much, and it belongs to the typical series of singers who are not popular.

Many people have heard and sung it, but not many people really care who the singer is.So the influence brought to this movie is also limited.

This movie is now one of the works of Longqi Film and Television. Of course, the promotion work is also arranged everywhere, and it has everything it should have.There were also two or three premieres.

According to Xiao Yang's own influence in the circle, in fact, many friends in the circle can be called to help out, but it is definitely not as big as the previous "The Future Will Be Unexpected".

Fortunately, this movie is now a work of Longqi Film and Television, and Xiao Yang is also a signed artist of Longqi Film and Television, so among other things, artists from Longqi Film and Television will definitely be there when they are free.

Li Jingkun himself also went.

However, when it comes to the box office, the two members of the Old Boys are still very cautious, not daring to say too much, and not daring to say any specific figures.

In fact, it is quite stressful for Xiao Yang to be promoted as one of the works of Longqi Film and Television - there is no way, the film works of Longqi Film and Television in the past one or two years have the least box office of almost [-]-[-] million.

But in any case, this can be regarded as the fulfillment of Xiao Yang's own dream of being a director. Even if the microfilm "Old Boy" can be released in theaters today, it is a huge progress.

Anyway, everything that should be done now is done, and now it's time to check the results.
