Chapter 241 Shocking scene (3 in 1)

"Xiangjiang is also fine. Isn't "The Tuner" set in the Xiangjiang area? If "Little People" is also set in Xiangjiang, there seems to be no problem."

"But Brother Long is an international superstar after all, and I also want to expand overseas markets, so I was wondering if I should put the background of the story on Omi's side? Then besides Brother Long, many other actors directly use foreign Someone to play?"

"Will this lead to a huge loss of domestic box office? Now our domestic film market is very prosperous, and Director Li's domestic box office is also very good. There is no need to lose the domestic market for the sake of overseas markets, right?

"The Tuner" has an overseas box office of more than 2 million. Although the results are not bad, if it relies solely on overseas markets, the pressure on "Little People" to make money may be greater. "

"The domestic market will definitely not give up. For now, the domestic market will dominate and win more overseas box office - so we have to balance the lineup and content here. How many domestic actors will be used? How many foreign actors should be used? You can carefully plan and discuss it.”

In the conference room of Longqi Film and Television, Li Jingkun, Brother Long, Zhou Deze, Sheng Yuan and others were all present. Of course they were discussing Li Jingkun's next film project "Little People".

As I said just now, Li Jingkun wants to focus on the domestic market while also expanding his overseas revenue.

In fact, there is nothing wrong with this, just like the "Avengers" series and the "Fast and Furious" series, aren't they also very popular at home and abroad?

Of course, the situation Li Jingkun and the others are facing is definitely different, but one thing is for sure, that is, the main role can find a few more foreign actors, and then let many international stars help to stand on the stage and promote it, which can still play a big role. Good publicity.

The leading actor is Brother Long, and most of the other characters are from Omi, so it will definitely be treated as an Omi movie, and it will definitely get a better box office than "The Tuner" in the Omi area.

After discussing the background of the story, they then began to discuss who should be the protagonist's wife, Asian or Omi?Then how many children does the hero have?son or daughter?

How to set the identity of the hero?The former Xiangjiang special police or something?

What identity does the villain want?Is there anything else to watch out for besides being a local mob boss?

There are many, many, and many others.

And it's not something that can be completely negotiated and resolved in an afternoon, because many things still need to check the information, and then analyze and confirm it.

Therefore, they discussed for a few days before and after, and finally determined most of the content.At the same time, the cooperation contract has been signed, and the application for project approval will be started soon.

The question about Big Brother Long's salary was perfectly resolved in the end!
Brother Long's salary is naturally slightly discounted, but it's not particularly low, because he still has to maintain his own worth and status!
But half of the funds can be said to be paid by his company itself!
Yes, there are currently two tentative production companies for the movie "Little People", one is Longqi Film and Television, and the other is Big Brother Long's own company.The main funds for this movie are currently drawn by these two companies, so the salary for Big Brother Long is not much less, and he still enjoys the global box office share.

However, domestic and foreign share ratios are also different. Overseas, he is relatively higher; domestically, because Li Jingkun’s reputation is not lower than him now, the box office appeal is higher than him, so the domestic share ratio is not too high.

It seems that Big Brother Long has suffered a loss, but in fact he has not, but if most of the salary is paid by his own company, then he himself will earn a little less.

And if there are other film and television companies that want to participate in the later stage, they can also ask them to spend a little more production funds.

After all, this is the movie of Big Brother Long and Li Jingkun, and the probability of making money is very high, so you can pay more, but the percentage of share can be smaller...

It depends on whether there are companies willing to cooperate and take this risk.

"Okay, we've basically finished talking now, and we'll just wait for you to perfect the final script!"

The matter is considered to have come to an end, and then began to enter a new stage.

In other words, the project has only now been officially launched, and now it has entered the preparatory stage.

After talking about the business, in order to celebrate the happy cooperation, Brother Long started asking everyone to go out for dinner together.

He is a very lively person, and he often eats with many staff members, and often likes to be the person who takes the order.

Brother Long has a very good memory. After more than a dozen people have reported to him the dishes they want, when the dishes are delivered, he can remember how many dishes you ordered and what they are.

In addition to the people he brought this time, seven or eight friends from Longqi Film and Television also went with them.

This time they ate in the hotel box, and they sat at two tables together.

At this time, the topic of conversation was relatively easy, because I just heard Liu Tianxian's latest song on the road, so Brother Long also talked to him about music.

"The song Tianxian is very popular! Recently I have heard this song a lot, and I found that many people are talking about this song on the Internet."

"Not bad, it's a promotional song for another of our movies."

"So what did I say? You are so versatile! You can even write songs, and the quality is so high!"

Brother Long is in a good mood, and he is still in good spirits after a day's work.

But for Li Jingkun, not all he said were praises, and then he said that there is a chance for him to write a few more masculine songs, and it is meaningless to write love songs...

Then Zhou Deze and others gave him a "science popularization", saying that Li Jingkun also wrote a few inspirational songs, even English inspirational songs.

Brother Long was very surprised: "Really? There are English songs? That's because I'm ignorant—I'll ask someone to buy your album tomorrow and listen to it!"

"No need, now you can find my songs just by searching on your phone."

So Brother Long asked the hotel staff to move a pair of big speakers, and then played Li Jingkun's songs.

Soon after, he fell in love with Li Jingkun's two English songs: "fire" and "Something just like this".

Not only is the melody very moving, but the meaning expressed in the lyrics is also what he likes very much.

Brother Long just likes this kind of passionate and uplifting song!

······
With the passage of time, the song "Decent" has spread more and more widely, and its popularity has also increased. It is in the top ten of the hit charts on multiple music platforms.

And its singer, Liu Tianxian, is increasingly being regarded as a real singer—although she has not released a serious album in recent years, the few singles that have been released successively have been so popular. There's nothing too much for a pop singer.

The popularity of the song naturally made more netizens pay attention to the movie "Love Like a Bouquet", and naturally began to look forward to and discuss this movie.

A handful of people who have watched the movie also expressed their opinions online, combining the plot of the movie and the song itself.

"It doesn't sound that good. It's been bad for more than a week."

"It sounds good, the more I listen to it, the more sad it gets, I want to cry~ I wish everyone a decent breakup!"

"'I love you without regret, and I respect the end of the story', I was lucky enough to watch this movie at the Cana Film Festival, and I was very impressed by the first part. Two people with such compatible souls met and fell in love. This is really a world One of the most beautiful things, isn't it? It's not too difficult to be in love with each other!
But the later part of breaking up is also very unforgettable. Even if they knew each other so well, they couldn't resist the cruelty of reality and separated in the end.

'Break up should be decent, no one should say sorry'.In the latter part of the movie, the two worked hard together many times in order to say goodbye and break up properly.Fortunately, it was decent in the end, but fortunately, it was not so ugly in the end.

'It's also very decent to leave, so I can live up to these years, the picture of loving passionately and giving seriously. '

Yes, the two used to be such a loving couple, so don't let each other embarrass each other, otherwise how can you be worthy of the good times you have experienced together...
Then, when couples who have been separated for many years meet again, the greatest decency for them is to treat each other as strangers; don't make eye contact, don't say a word!
Each should be the best ex to each other, and the best attitude towards an ex is to treat the other as 'dead'...
So when you meet a 'dead' person on the road, how can you still greet him? "

······
Before July even started, the domestic release of "The Tuner" was over, and the total box office was fixed at 7 billion.Overseas screenings have also stopped long ago, with a total box office of 15.8 million.Therefore, the total global box office of "Tuner" is 2.62 billion.

At the same time, there was also a blockbuster Omi movie released in early June. "Jurassic World" earned 6 million box office on the first day;

Thinking about it, it must be easy to break 10 billion in China.

And its performance in the world is even more terrifying. The box office in the first week directly exceeded 5 million meters (about 33.7 billion), making it the highest-grossing film in the world in the first week of film history!

Maybe some people now think that 33 billion soft girls don’t seem to be particularly powerful, because many movies can get billions of dollars globally, but it should be noted that this is only the first week of box office... ··
I got 33 billion in one week, and after a whole month, what kind of scary figure will it be when it is released?

······
After "Decent" was launched, Liu Tianxian began to participate in some activities frequently, promoting the movie while promoting the song.

In some activities, she and Li Jingkun participated together, and in some activities they were interviewed and recorded separately.

On this day, she accepted an interview with Miaoyan Entertainment alone, and talked about songs and new movies.

Host: "So the song "Decent" tells a story about a breakup, so does the movie "Love Like a Bouquet" also tell a story about a breakup?"

Liu Tianxian: "It's not exactly like this, it mainly talks about two urban men and women whose personalities and hobbies are very compatible, they meet and know each other, and the process of falling in love later.

They are a pair of young men and women who are more literary and artistic, and the two literary and artistic youths are in love.But our real life is not so literary and artistic. We need food, rice, oil and salt, and we need to make money to live.So after meeting and falling in love, and later living together, they will encounter some practical problems after living together.

This last part is the breaking up part. "

Host: "So breaking up is just part of the movie."

Liu Tianxian: "Breaking up is also part of the relationship."

Host: "Then let me ask a more personal question. Ever since you made your relationship public with Director Li, there have been rumors that you two are going to 'break up' from time to time. How do you view this matter?"

Liu Tianxian: "(Laughs) It seems that some people have spread this on the Internet a while ago, but I am really speechless-if I really want to report this kind of thing, at least wait until our new movie is released? We are collaborating on a new song, and we are collaborating on a new movie, and our relationship is so good, will anyone believe us if we break up now?"

"Hahaha, it seems to be the same."

"Actually, what I want to say is that what is happening now was really predicted by Jing Kun. Before we made our relationship public, he said that if we make an official announcement in the future, everyone will start to expect us to be able to We were together, and later we were curious about when we broke up. So I am not surprised by these rumors at all, I just want to live our own lives well.

Maybe others also need to earn traffic, and others need to make money, right?
In fact, both of us have relatively gentle personalities, and our requirements for life are not that high, so since we got together, there have been almost no real quarrels.

There will definitely be situations where we get together less and leave more... For example, when he went out to film a movie; during that time we met less often.

But whenever I'm free, I'll fly over to find him lol.

Yes, maybe I can’t live without him, hahaha. "

Host: "(laughs) So in your relationship, are you the more active party or the passive party?"

Liu Tianxian: "(Slanting eyes) You have a lot of personal issues, haha ​​- I think this should be discussed separately, in some aspects I will take the initiative, in some aspects he will take the initiative, I feel that we are more complement each other.

For example, in terms of work, he must be busier than me, so of course I will accommodate him, and I will take the initiative to find him-well, it seems that after we are together, I take the initiative to find him more often, hahaha! "

······
After the interview program ended, Liu Tianxian went home by car.

It was almost eight o'clock in the evening when I got home, but she hadn't eaten yet—she said she was coming back to eat with Li Jingkun.

Recently, the two have seen a lot of time and worked together a lot, and they will go to the show together in a few days-because they are promoting "Love Like a Bouquet" recently.

So the situation that couples in the entertainment industry get together less and leave more, at least not yet happened to them, because they have some work projects together.

"How is work today? Are you tired?"

"Fortunately, it's just a simple interview, and it's not a difficult job-how about you? How is Brother Long's project going?"

"It's finally decided to shoot the scene in the United States, and set the background of the story there. Brother Long also knows a lot of people there, and he may find one or two film and television production companies to cooperate with. What is shown there, the distribution has to keep up."

The production company of "Little People" at the beginning was Long Qi and Big Brother Long's company. Although the production cost was only more than 1 million yuan, it was finally going to be released globally, which is also a big project.

So this movie is still very attractive, and it is not as difficult as imagined to continue to find investors.

Huaying decided to participate soon, so I talked with them recently.

At the same time, we may find one or two Omi companies to cooperate with—certainly, some benefits must be distributed to the local people. Only by making money together can they carry out work there smoothly.

So the benefits of cooperating with Brother Long appeared again: Longqi Film and Television didn't need to find the film and television company over there by itself.They only need to verify each other's identities, and then directly discuss the cooperation methods and conditions.

If there is no agreement, it is not difficult to continue to find the next film and television company.

"Little People" is finally determined to be set in the Omi country. Except for the actor's family, most of the other actors will be Omi.

This is determined by the background of the story, and it is also for the needs of the future market - anyway, the director Li Jingkun, the actor is Big Brother Long, so this lineup will not be rejected by domestic audiences - the main creators are all their own people, so this movie will definitely It is also a domestic film.

Even if the background of the story is set in Omi, it is for the needs of the market and for the review.

"Ah, don't we have to be separated by then? And it's still so far away - I just gave an interview today and said that if you go to work in other places, I will often fly over to find you."

"Hahaha, then you can just do what you say then?"

Although they are celebrity couples, after getting along for a long time, they are actually no different from the lives of ordinary couples.Staying together for a long time is nothing more than eating together, chatting together, watching movies together, playing with mobile phones and so on.

At this time, after eating and taking a shower, they agreed to watch an online variety show together when they were in their leisure time.

This program is called "The Story of Strange Flowers".

Because the episode where Li Jingkun participated in the recording is already online, the two are going to watch it together.

Regarding "The Story of Strange Flowers", Ma Dong actually invited Liu Tianxian before, but because she has never been very interested in variety shows, she did not agree to his invitation.

That is to say, she will consider one or two major TV variety shows, and has basically never been on the others, let alone an online variety show.

But contrary to her, her boyfriend likes variety shows very much, but because of his status, there are not many variety shows available.There are only some language programs that are suitable for him; and "The Story of Strange Flowers" is obviously such, and he himself likes this program very much, so it is reasonable to agree to Ma Dong's invitation.

"Are there three hosts?"

"Yes, there are three in this season, Ma Dong, Jin Xing and Cai Kangyong."

·····
The show started. At the beginning, Li Jingkun and the three hosts also recorded an opening title, just chatting and talking nonsense, and then soon entered the official recording content.

The recording scene of "The Story of Strange Flowers" is very fancy, with very bright colors, including red, blue, green and purple; the people participating in the show are also very conspicuously dressed, most of the dressing styles match the scene very well, the colors are very bright, and the design sense Very full.

Jin Xing and Ma Dong wore purple tops, Cai Kangyong wore a black sequined top, and on the left shoulder was a pattern of playing cards.

Li Jingkun also went to do as the Romans did today, wearing a brightly colored dress and a blue suit.

Amidst a burst of cheerful background music, after the camera flitted across the faces of the director, guests and wonderful debaters, Cai Kangyong then began the first line:
"I'm too short, so I had to add insoles to Congressman Tsai Kang-yung!"

The camera came to Jin Xing:

"I'm JJ Jin Xing, who is too straight-tempered and has to be venomous!"

The last shot was given to our fat host Ma Dong:
"My bags under the eyes are too big and must be cut off..."

"Hahaha"

Just after saying this, some people laughed at the scene.

"······Which is the big one——MM horse!"

There was another burst of laughter at the scene, but Ma Dong didn't panic at all, he continued: "Come on, we are..."

"KJM!"

The three instructors said in unison!

"Clap clap clap!"

The audience and debaters laughed and gave them applause and cheers.

Ma Dong said: "Welcome everyone to visit us, North Korea Men's Team!

Then, this show invited our 10 billion director, who I like very much, the youngest, most talented and most promising 'genius director' in China - Li Jingkun! "

"Oh!"

"welcome!"

"So handsome!"

"Clap clap clap!"

After Ma Dong's long prefix was pronounced, the applause and cheers at the scene were particularly intense-there is no exaggeration at all!
Everyone looked happy and honored.

It even developed to the back, and many audience members stood up directly.

Then, like a butterfly effect, more and more audience members and debaters also stood up one by one.

At the end, everyone stood there cheering and applauding!

Seeing this scene, the three directors laughed and applauded, and then stood up.

To be honest, Li Jingkun was really surprised, he didn't expect that they would give him such a grand reception!
So he also stood up quickly.Then bow to them:

"thanks, thanks!"

After a while, everyone finally sat down one after another, and then Ma Dong said with a little emotion: "Really, it's very good, and it's a great honor to invite Jing Kun to our scene."

"Yes." Jin Xing nodded.

Ma Dong continued: ""The Tuner" is so good-looking, it's a great movie, and it's so wonderfully shot—from "Introduction to Architecture", to "Detective Chinatown", and then to the last one or two years. With "The Unknown" and "The Tuner" released, it is no exaggeration to say that Li Jingkun will definitely be one of the most important directors in our country in the future, and will definitely be our film master in the future!"
