China Entertainment started from art school

Chapter 209 Schrödinger's Meat Compensation
"Actually, I was quite surprised. I didn't expect this role to fall on me."

This afternoon, Wan Qian came to Longqi Film and Television and signed a cooperation contract to play the role of Su Ya in "The Tuner".

Su Ya is the daughter of the restaurant owner in the movie, and she has a relationship with the male protagonist, which means that she is equivalent to the second female role, and the roles are quite heavy.

"why?"

Wan Qian starred in Li Jingkun's first feature film "Youth School", and has not collaborated since then.

However, the cooperation was very friendly at the beginning, and the relationship was not bad, but because of the nature of the work, if we did not cooperate again, it is true that there are not many opportunities to meet each other throughout the year.

But no matter what, they were old friends, so after talking about business and signing the contract, the two of them came to his office from the meeting room, ready to drink tea and chat.

After the contract was signed, Wan Qian also breathed a sigh of relief, so she also relaxed a lot in speaking.

"I heard that many actresses are playing this role. There should be many people recommending and recommending themselves to you, right?"

"Yes."

In fact, of course it's not just this role, but when the male and female protagonists are confirmed, the role of Su Ya will become the next most important role, so it's normal that many people want to play the role.

"I heard that Bai Baihe also contacted you?"

"You know a lot, don't you?" Li Jingkun brought her a teacup.

"...Could it be that I also want to seize this opportunity, so I paid special attention to it?"

"Then why didn't I see you contact me?"

"I thought I had little chance..."

Wan Qian thinks that there is still a big gap compared with Bai Baihe. The other party is much bigger than her in terms of status and influence.Especially the other party still has a popular movie in theaters, and it is still a work produced by Longqi Film and Television.

And Wanqian is not the only competitor, so she felt a little self-defeating before...

In addition, I haven't had much contact with Li Jingkun in recent years, so I think I don't know him well enough now.

To put it bluntly, they are just colleagues who have worked together.

So when I received his call yesterday, I was really pleasantly surprised!

"It's a bit self-deprecating and self-abandoning. How can such thoughts and attitudes get mixed up in the circle? If you feel right, you must try to seize every opportunity, right?"

"Yeah, you taught me well."

Wan Qian could only nod with an awkward smile. Although Li Jingkun's status was relatively tall, he was a man several years younger than herself.

And being "taught" by a man who is several years younger than herself still feels a bit strange... So she tried to make a joke, preparing to ease the atmosphere, "Maybe I'm afraid that I need to pay with flesh, hahaha."

This is because she remembered the interesting things she had with him before, so she also planned to use memories to build some relationship.

When they were filming "Youth School", she invited him to sing a song. At that time, Li Jingkun joked that he would not easily write songs for others unless she could "repay".

"...Am I such a person?" Li Jingkun said.

"I remember this sentence was said by you yourself before..."

How should I put it, Wan Qian naturally felt that Li Jingkun was joking before, so naturally she let it go.

But looking back many years later, I found that Li Jingkun had so many projects going on every year, but he never contacted her to come and film...

In addition, there are rumors in the world that he is a nostalgic person, but he has never contacted her, so she will naturally recall what he said, so she always suspected that the flesh compensation he said was serious...

At this time, Li Jingkun also wanted to understand something: since Wan Qian thinks that he is also the kind of person who needs "flesh compensation" to give the role, is she still here today?

"So you came here today with the idea of ​​paying for the meat? ——Then I let you sign the contract today, isn't it a loss?"

Faced with Li Jingkun's question, Wan Qian really blushed, and she hid her embarrassment with a big laugh: "Haha, that's too late, I signed the contract—you don't want to go back on your word, do you?"

······
Of course Li Jingkun didn't mean to regret it, he was just joking.

Maybe a few years ago, I was a man by nature, and I didn't have a girlfriend at the time, so I might be a bit serious in my jokes, but now my relationship is stable, and I don't have any special lack of other life, so of course it's just a casual chat.

So that day, the two drank tea for a while, chatted, and re-acquainted with each other, Wan Qian didn't think much about it.

But many things are very wonderful, many things are very afraid to ponder.

During the daytime, there is a lot of noise, and many things and things are not thought deeply; but when the night is quiet and lying alone in bed, when the brain is empty, many thoughts and thoughts will automatically jump out.

At the beginning, Wan Qian felt very fulfilled, because today she got another important role and participated in a big production and big project, so of course she felt very satisfied.

Then I recalled some things that happened today, and recalled some words I talked with Li Jingkun today.Inexplicably, I remembered the joke they made again.

Although it was Wan Qian herself who said the word "flesh compensation" in advance this time, she still couldn't help but have a ridiculous thought at this time:

Could this be a second chance given by Li Jingkun?

Could it be his temptation again this time?
Speechless, a little entangled in thinking and a little insomnia...

······
"Night and Day" was released on August 8, ending the one-month screening period, and the total domestic box office was fixed at the figure of 10 million.In the end, it surpassed the 3.26 million box office of Zhang Guoshi's "Return", and temporarily became the second place in literary films——

Because "Afternoon" has not been released yet, but the box office has surpassed "Night and Day", so "Night and Day" has no chance to sit on the top box office of literary films, and it was directly snatched by "Afternoon" up!
But Li Jingkun thinks it's pretty good, he doesn't need a false name like first or second, what he wants is real money, and what he wants is substantial income.And "Day and Night" with a production budget of more than 1000 million can get a box office of 3.26 million, which is already a big project with a return rate of more than 20 times!

If literary and artistic films can have such a high rate of return, who would not like to shoot them!
It is simply a product of fame and fortune!The kind that can win awards and make a lot of money!

Of course Liu Tianxian is also very happy, her fans are even happier than her!It's just the kind of joy of the festival recently!
Because of this movie this time, she not only received a lot of praise and praise for her performance, but also got such a high box office result, which is also a super high-quality work that is both famous and profitable!
So "Night and Day" can completely replace her previous film works and become her real film masterpiece!
In other respects, "Old Boy Raptors Crossing the River", which was released for more than three weeks, is still spinning within 2 million.

The results of "Little Times 3" are actually amazing, and it has already exceeded 5 million box office results. 6 million is definitely impossible, but the three works of "Little Times" have already received a super-high box office of 13 billion, which is also a big hit.

In any case, this is a very popular money-making project.

"Get Out!"Mr. Tumor" reported a revenue of 2.31 million in the second week, continuing to be the weekly champion; the current total box office has reached 4.23 million.

Wen Muye has really risen!

Originally, the most brilliant director this month would be Han Han. After all, he is also a director from across the border. At present, the box office performance of "Afternoon" is also very good; before it was released, it had already become the No. one.

But I didn't expect that not long after, a new director named Wen Muye appeared in front of the world with the same brilliant achievements!

Perhaps the box office of "The Future Will Be Indefinite" will eventually exceed that of "Get Out!""Tumor Lord", but Han Han is a "senior" who has been famous for many years after all. The fame gained over the years and the fans he has accumulated must have brought him a lot of popularity and box office.

But Wen Muye was penniless before that. Although Li Jingkun also brought him a lot of attention, the quality of the movie itself is obvious to all. Doubanjiang's score also surpassed "The Future Will Never End"!

"I'm also a cancer patient, so I must give it four stars. My favorite place is when the heroine's father buys her potato chips. When I was researching the taste, I suddenly felt heartbroken, my body trembled uncontrollably, and my tears were silent. It flowed down. It was exactly the same as the time my dad cried for me in my memory. I feel that the screenwriter and director have done their homework sincerely, and they are the kind of people who can truly understand the pain of patients and family members!"

"Whether it's a debut movie or not, the quality is very good. The rhythm of the story is well controlled, and the details are also handled well. The acting skills of the heroine are very good. Under the shell of the chick movie, it is actually a strong and active attitude towards life. !"

"Are the good movies in the past one or two years going to be packaged by Bai Baihe? I feel that many of her works are very good. At the same time, I also want to praise the director. It is really well shot and can resonate with others. My friend said, His mother-in-law is also a tumor king, and some details of the disease in the movie, such as drips, punctures, vomiting, hair loss, coughing, etc., are relatively real. His wife also cried miserably after watching the movie."

······
The main actor of "Tuner" has been almost found recently, and Li Binbin finally agreed to play this role.So now the main actors are: Hua Ge, Li Binbin, Wan Qian, Huang Jue, Jiang Haowen, etc., and there are also a few supporting roles that are also invited Hong Kong old-school actors.

However, the overall preparations are not yet complete.Li Jingkun occasionally needs to go to Xiangjiang to continue to confirm the location work.At the same time, there are a lot of work going on in the photography department, art department, costume and props group, etc.

The launch time is set on September 9, and the shooting time is almost two months.It means that Li Jingkun has to stay in Xiangjiang for two months.

But Liu Tianxian can also go to visit the class or meet him secretly.

She is quite familiar with Xiangjiang, and there are real estates, so it is very easy to go there.

And now she also has a new script to study, which is also a new project between her and Li Jingkun.

Yes, she still has some regrets and unwillingness to give up, so she wants to try again.Therefore, Li Jingkun also continued to give her a new script, and then the two will play the male and female protagonists together again—this is also a birthday present for her this year.

But both of them know the significance of making a movie together this time: the first work can be said to be a token of love, and the second work may have to announce their relationship to the outside world.

Because no one is a fool.

When the two collaborated for the first time, most people probably thought it was nothing. It is quite normal for actors to cooperate, but the second time it was a similar theme, the same male and female protagonists, and Li Jingkun directed it again, so I didn’t want to let it go. It is too difficult for people to think of this aspect.

"Let's make it public. Am I okay? After all, have I faced fewer doubts and scandals before? No matter what happens this time, it can't be more serious than before, right?"

Liu Tianxian was naturally a little worried, but when he thought about it carefully, he was a little excited, after all, occasionally he had the urge to tell everyone about it out loud.

However, she feels that the harm to her after the release will not be deeper than before. In fact, it is not necessarily true, because although she was attacked and discredited a lot in the past, there are still a large group of fans supporting her.But now that the relationship is public, it may be directly challenging the fans...
"I'm fine too. After all, my main business is directing, which is behind-the-scenes; at worst, I won't be filming or singing in the future..."

Li Jingkun also felt that he was fine, and it shouldn't have much influence on him.After all, I am the director and the boss now, and I am not following the idol route.

But all of this is just their own wishful thinking, and it is uncertain whether it will really have a great impact.

Because Li Jingkun is not just a director now. After all, he has released albums and acted in several movies. He still has some idol temperament in him, and there are still many girls who like him because of his talent; so is there any influence? It really has to be made public.

But having said that, it is impossible for them to stop; besides cooperating with this new film, they will definitely continue to cooperate with other commercial films or TV series in the future.

So now we can only take one step at a time.

"Would you like to spend your birthday alone with me or with your friends?"

This was Liu Tianxian's first birthday after the two got together, so Li Jingkun would naturally pay more attention to it.A copy of clothes, bags, cosmetics, etc. was arranged, and the movie script was also given to her as a birthday present.

But how she wants to arrange it at that time depends on her intentions.

·····
Although "The Tuner" will not start until next month, many crew members have already started preliminary work there, and Li Jingkun will arrive there early next month.At that time, script readings and so on will also be held in the office building organized in advance.

And at the end of August, "Old Boy Raptors Crossing the River" finally broke through the 8 million mark, which can be regarded as a relatively satisfactory ending.

"Get Out!Tumor Master" is not as fierce as before, but the attendance rate is still good, and it is currently heading towards the 5 million mark!
"It's amazing! As the first work of a new director, it can be said that it needs box office to have box office, and word of mouth to have word of mouth!"

"I feel that Li Jingkun's vision is also very good! Then trust him, not only give money to the team, but also arrange such a strong cast for him! Otherwise, it would be really difficult for him to recruit Wu Yanzu, Bai Baihe and others with him alone as a newcomer. ?”

"To have such brilliant results right after debut, I really got the lead role script!"
