China Entertainment started from art school

Chapter 268
"It's nothing else, but your movie is too bloody, right? Such a beautiful girl as Tianxian, what did you do in the latter part? The whole process is so violent, and there are so many bloodstains. Clothes are never clean either!"

Li Jingkun is also quite familiar with the General Administration, and basically comes here several times a year. Except for some old professors from his own school, other staff members are also gradually familiar.So they didn't play sloppy with him this time, they just told him what the problem should be.

And there is really no big problem, there is nothing wrong with the plot, but it is indeed too bloody.

It is indeed the same as what the other party said. In the later stage, Liu Tianxian became an official "witch". She no longer pretended to be, so the villains were hammered to death one by one.Under normal circumstances, the blood sprayed by the other party will naturally not be less, so it is normal that her face and body will always have bloodstains...

In fact, if "The Tuner" was more realistic, there would be a lot of blood, but it was not handled so excessively at the time; but in "The Witch", violence is one of the selling points and one of the attributes of the subject matter—all It's a superpower, it's so powerful, and then it's normal for all kinds of fights to hammer people, it will be more bloody, right?
It's just that domestic movies are not rated, which is indeed a bit too much for teenagers, so it is expected to be stuck.

In fact, he had prepared for this situation a long time ago. During the filming, he also took two or three minutes of spare shots for an unprecedented time, just to deal with this matter.

Just try to keep the "original flavor" as much as possible, so the original version was sent over at the beginning.

"Go and correct it, I've marked the location for you, and send it over as soon as possible after the correction is completed——Your movie is actually very good, very exciting, and I believe it will be a very popular movie again, that's what we said I still need to try my best to change the place—maybe I have to reshoot?"

If you are not ready, of course it is better to make up for it.It's just that he had made up shots beforehand, so it didn't need to be so troublesome.

Of course, there is no need to explain these words so honestly...
"It's okay, we will try our best to modify where there are problems, and we won't embarrass you."

"Well, that's good." Deputy Director Lin of the General Administration nodded. They still like Li Jingkun very much and are very relaxed. "Now your movies will be released all over the world, right?"

"Yes, but it also depends on the subject matter and genre, and some may not be able to sell high box office overseas."

"Your "The Witch" is full of Asian faces, and it may be difficult to sell to Omi; but the overall is very exciting, it should be good in the Asian region, and young people should like your theme and content.

Let's do a good job of marketing, making money is still a trivial matter, and it is also a good thing to let more people from other countries watch our own movies. "

"Understood, I was planning to do this."

······
"If those two words are not exported

I won't find that I'm uncomfortable..."

This is the first song that God E became popular in China. When it became popular, he himself was very confused.It was completely unexpected that this song would be so popular in China.

In February 2016, there was a very strange film in the shortlist of the Golden Elephant Awards. This film did not win the best director, best actor and actress, and no other awards, but it appeared in the "Most "Best Movie" list, which makes people feel unbelievable.

In this regard, China lodged a negotiation with the Golden Elephant Awards, hoping that the organizers could revoke the nomination of this film, but the other party refused.

In late March, the official website of Longqi Film and Television quietly deleted the news that "The Tuner" was shortlisted for the Golden Elephant Award.Another scarf was issued the next day, and she announced her withdrawal from this year's Golden Elephant Awards Ceremony.

All of a sudden, netizens exploded!

It was only then that many netizens discovered that they had deleted the scarf, and they also understood the fact that the Golden Elephant Awards were going to cause trouble this time.

But the officials and Li Jingkun kept a low profile and did not issue any explanations.

In fact, Li Jingkun also understands the meaning of the above. After all, he is his own child, and it is not the same as the incident of the Golden Horse Award later, so now they are more tolerant of the Golden Elephant Award.

Otherwise, what else can I do?The good is also my own child, the bad is also my own child, I can only give him time and opportunity to grow...

So Li Jingkun and Longqi Film and Television are also very low-key and don't want to make things big.

The only ones left are his fans and Li Binbin's fans who are worthless for them.

NND, what a great opportunity just gone!
In addition to them, some domestic actors who were shortlisted for this award also decided not to attend the Golden Elephant Awards ceremony in a low-key way.It is estimated that only Chun Xia, the heroine of "Treading the Snow and Looking for Plum Blossoms", will participate—that is, the domestic actress who was quietly confused.

Also, when the ceremony is held, the domestic webcast and Yangma's broadcast will also be cancelled.

······
"The Witch" has been announced to be finalized, and the publicity work is naturally arranged.

During this time, the main actors also started their respective promotional activities.

Liu Tianxian, Bu Guanjin, Zhu Yilong, Liu Mintao, Wang Longzheng, Zhang Yuxi, etc., began to log on to various variety shows to promote.

What needs to be explained is that Zhang Yuxi will appear in this movie through the relationship of Mr. He.

In this movie, Zhu Yilong has a female subordinate who has a slightly more role, but it is only a small supporting role.

Originally they planned to find a random actress to play the role, but Mr. He recommended an actress to him, that is, Zhang Yuxi, the actor who had previously collaborated with him in "Gardenia Blooming".

Li Jingkun was a little surprised at the time. After all, the other party is also a person who often plays the first female lead and the second female lead, so he is willing to play such a small supporting role.

Zhang Yuxi would like to come, the salary is not high, of course he welcomes it.

Later, after the makeup photo came out, it was really amazing. It added an extra beautiful scenery to the film - when the heroine couldn't take the beautiful route, it would be nice to have another beauty appear.

So during this period of time, Zhang Yuxi also went out with the crew to do publicity.

They starred in Li Jingkun's work, which has their own popularity, so many big-name variety shows are willing to let them come.

For example, "Run, Brothers" and "Extreme Challenge", etc., those Li Jingkun and Liu Tianxian are unwilling or unsuitable to come, you can also let them play.

Longqi Film and Television has a great influence, and Li Jingkun also has a wide network of contacts, and he can basically arrange any program he wants.

For example, in "Happy Camp", he and Mr. He have been friends for many years.

For example, "Run, Brothers", he is also very familiar with Zheng Chao and Cheng He.

Another example is "Extreme Challenge", Huang Sanshi is also one of the teachers and one of the elders of the school.

Then the third season of "Wonderful Flowers" began to be recorded, and Liu Tianxian also went to be the goddess guest for two episodes, and the ratings of those two episodes were also very good-in addition to watching debates and beauties, everyone also wanted to hear what she had to say Something about Li Jingkun.

Just when everyone was doing publicity in full swing, and when many netizens were happily waiting for the movie to be released, a shocking news came suddenly: the latest movie "The Witch" directed by Li Jingkun was killed by the General Administration three times in a row , I don't know if it can be released like this...

A stone can start a thousand waves!
This is the first time that Li Jingkun has encountered bad luck in this month?

The last time I just withdrew from the Golden Elephant Awards ceremony, this time the new movie can't pass the review?
Can you still make a good movie?

"I'll go, I feel that Li Jingkun is a bit sad these days, why are these crap things happening?"

"Speechless! I'm still looking forward to the release of "The Witch" as soon as possible, but this is the result?"

"Isn't it? Are you going to make trouble again? What's the problem? It won't be the end of it, right?"

"I heard it was too bloody, right? It seems that I heard that the magic of the 'witch' was really filmed, but it turned out to be too much. "

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhh! It's no good. After hearing what you said, I want to see what the original version looks like! Really don't change it too much..."

Netizens were very excited and vented their dissatisfaction on the Internet.

Naturally, a certain department became a target again.

It's just that Li Jingkun can understand this point, after all, the situation in each place is different.

Moreover, there were not many marked contents. The General Administration had already given them a lot of face, and only asked him to delete some positive scenes.For example, the shot directly hitting the head of the villain.The total time before and after is actually less than 2 minutes, and there is really not much content removed.

It's just that it has been revised after all. If I say it seriously, I am afraid that some audiences will not accept it, and then they will not go to the cinema to support it.

Therefore, it is necessary to do a good job in marketing, and try to weaken the negative impact of this news.

·····
"Why are there so many things going on recently? Withdrew from the competition and the movie didn't pass the review?"

That night, when Li Jingkun returned home, he saw Zhao Xiaodao visiting his house again.

Ever since she and Liu Tianxian became acquainted on Mango TV, the two of them have indeed moved around a bit more.But speaking of it, it's only once or twice a month at most.After all, she herself is a busy person.

"It's okay, it's all within expectations, don't panic."

"Unexpected?"

Liu Tianxian and Zhao Xiaodao looked at each other in disbelief.

Zhao Xiaodao said: "The movie was judged, but I didn't get the dragon mark for the time being. As a director, I believe that you were mentally prepared beforehand, but how could you have expected the Golden Elephant Award in advance?"

"... Seriously speaking, it's actually not expected, that is, for those things that I haven't got, I usually don't take it for granted that it belongs to me. After each movie is made, making money is My first goal, the rest are the others."

Li Jingkun took the teacup Liu Tianxian handed over, took a sip and continued, "I really don't care if I win an award, whether it's the Golden Elephant Award or the Golden Horse Award.

Now that "The Tuner" has been screened, even if it wins an award, it will not be able to boost the box office.If you win an award, the prize money from the Golden Elephant Award is not much. "

Liu Tianxian said: "But didn't you also shoot some literary films before to compete for awards?"

"You also know that it is a literary film, and they all make a lot of money?" Li Jingkun said, "The Golden Elephant Award is about a matter of principle and a national issue, so it must be withdrawn, there is nothing to do Said."

Zhao Xiaodao said: "But it's okay if you didn't get nominations. Now you have several nominations. Now you just announce your withdrawal. Wouldn't it offend people too much?"

"Compared with the righteousness of the country, what's the point of offending a few Xiangjiang filmmakers? Is our country not strong enough, or my reputation in the country is not big enough?"

Will Li Jingkun still be afraid of offending a few Xiangjiang filmmakers?
There are two major film and television companies in his hand, and he has such a good relationship with big companies and companies such as Huaying, Perfect Planet, Sohu.com, Miaoyan Entertainment, Mango TV, and Jiangsu TV. At the same time, he has such a wide network of contacts in the circle. Was he afraid of offending them?

Are you worried that you won't be able to win the Golden Elephant Award in the future, or that you won't be able to go to Xiangjiang to film?

That is to say, they are also my own family over there, and the higher ups just don't want to make a fuss, otherwise Li Jingkun himself would want to spray them!
"Then what about "The Witch"? Can it still be released smoothly?"

After the question about the Golden Elephant Award was finished, the movie was another thing Liu Tianxian was most concerned about, so he asked it right away.

"It's okay, don't worry, the publicity work will continue, and the activities that should be held will continue. Just let us delete some content."

"Which ones to delete? Are there many?"

"Fortunately, there won't be many. Have you forgotten? When we were filming before, in many places, I specially took two or three more content with different shapes and angles."

"what!"

Of course Liu Tianxian didn't forget it, so when he heard this, he felt as if he had been opened up, and he suddenly realized, "I remembered, of course I thought I didn't shoot well, or the effect was not good - at that time You told me to keep one or two more, but I didn't care, it's just that I will shoot as you want me to."

Li Jingkun scratched her nose with a smile, and then said to Zhao Xiaodao: ""The Witch" will be released on May [-]st this year, when the premiere will come to help support the scene?"

Zhao Xiaodao smiled and said: "Of course, I have already agreed with Tianxian. I am also very interested in your movie. I really want to see this movie released soon."

Several people chatted for a while, and they told Li Jingkun one more thing. After Zhao Xiaodao came here last time, he liked the villa and the environment here very much. After going back and thinking about it for a while, he also planned to buy one here.

"That's pretty good. I've bought two of them. And if you want to buy them, you have to hurry up. The prices have been increasing in recent years, and many of them will soon exceed [-] million."

Zhao Xiaodao nodded: "Understood, I will start to look at it in these two days."

Liu Tianxian said with a smile: "Ah, that's great, we will be neighbors from now on, and it will be more convenient to meet each other in the future!"

Zhao Xiaodao deliberately teased her: "What, I'm not going to be your neighbor, I just want to be a neighbor with Jing Kun—ah, do you live here too?"

After hearing this, Liu Tianxian really blushed with anger:
"Ah! Zhao Xiaodao, I want to kill you!"

······
Regarding the withdrawal of "Tuner", Li Jingkun apologized to Li Binbin, but she did not accept her apology, because even if she did not withdraw, she would not go to the ceremony.

On Brother Hua's side, he apologized to Li Jingkun.

Although he is also one of the producers of this movie, but if Li Jingkun and the others want to withdraw, he can only agree.

He didn't want to make things too big and embarrassing.

It was a dilemma for him on both sides.

Later, Big Brother Long called Li Jingkun, and he was a little helpless in his words. He also felt a little sorry for him, and said that he would find a way to make up for him in the future.

But this has nothing to do with him at all, Li Jingkun has no intention of being unreasonable.

On April 4, the Golden Elephant Awards were successfully held.

At the end of the ceremony, because the originally arranged "Best Picture" award presenter Si Qingaowa knew the award in advance, so she left before the ceremony even started.

Some domestic actors such as Feng Shaofeng also left with her.

They only participated in the red carpet show, and after confirming certain things later, they left before the ceremony even started.

The last "Best Film" did not have an award presenter, and the organizer did not want to embarrass others, so this time the chairman of the jury, Director Er, presented the award in person.Talking and laughing with everyone, I read the final award-winning work.

Afterwards, on the Internet in China, a lot of discussions and abuse broke out about the ceremony, and many people also ran to the chairman of the jury to scold him.

The chairman of the judging committee didn't give in, and had a few back and forth with netizens.

But Li Jingkun understands that the upper echelons don't want to expand the influence at the moment, so he didn't join in the fun, so let him go on like this.

And he will also clearly know that when the Golden Elephant Awards are held again in another year, most people have already forgotten about it.I started to look happily at the awards ceremony again.

Well, after all, it's my own child, it's normal to be mischievous once in a while, just don't go too far...

So whenever you think of this, you can realize how rare it is for Brother Long, Brother Hua, Huang Zihua, Zou Zhaolong and others; even Nicholas Tingfeng has had so many black spots, and he can understand that he made a mistake when he was young.

After all, he has always been firm on the big principles and right and wrong.

And some people pick up the bowl to eat, put down the bowl and scold their mother...
·······
Since the incident of the Golden Elephant Awards, Li Jingkun, Li Binbin and others have gained a lot of sympathy points. Many people feel distressed and unworthy for them. In addition to admiration, this is the first time I have gained the emotion of "sympathy".

After this incident, many people praised the choice of "Tuner" and saw their loss, so many people called Li Jingkun, in addition to understanding the matter and emotions, they also comforted him.

Needless to say, my friends, there are also many big figures who have contacted him for the first time, such as the former Minister Zhou Qili, and some leaders of the General Administration; In the outside world, everyone wants to suppress things as much as possible, but they are very clear to each other in the circle.

Li Jingkun actually has no emotions, losing a little honor and money, and offending some Xiangjiang filmmakers, in fact, it is really nothing to him...

Those who want to make trouble with him in the future will definitely not dare, if you really dare, do you want to come here to make movies and make money in the future...

Now everyone wants to act like nothing happened, what else do you want?
If he really wants to make a fuss, he can just send a scarf and talk about it.

But he didn't do anything, so naturally he hoped that others would.

By the way, "OPERATION RED SEA" has already been taken down by him and Huaying, and we will wait to get ready and find the starting time.

And Zhou Qili's side can indeed get along well if they can get along well, and they may continue to cooperate in the future, and may continue to shoot the main theme movies in the future.

Of course, you can't mess up the project in the early stage.

Then on April 4th, the Kyoto College Student Film Festival also announced the shortlisted works in due course, "Tuner", "Love Like a Bouquet" and "Get Out!""Tumor Lord" and other works are among them, and they have received many nominations.

"Tuner" also received several heavyweight nominations this time, such as Best Director and Best Actress nominations, etc.!
