China Entertainment started from art school

Chapter 283 The box office sets a new record!
In recent years, Li Jingkun's reputation has reached an unprecedented height. The appearance of many high-quality films has made him a very good image in the eyes of the public.Therefore, as long as his movies appear, they are generally well-received; even if "The Witch" was not satisfactory before, everyone was quite tolerant.

But in the past one or two years, especially the "bad tickets and high box office" of "Tomb Raider Notes" a while ago, more and more netizens have gradually woken up, and they don't want to continue to be taken advantage of by bad movies, so many people began to hate just bad money The traffic block, IP block or something.

This film review appeared under such circumstances, and it was also very conspicuous among the many positive reviews, and it got a lot of traffic and clicks in a short time.

For this film review, there are people who support and oppose it, and some people are even a little bit arguing.

Those who support it say that this is a commercial film in itself, what it wants is entertainment and relaxation, why think so much about it!

Opponents said that as a great director, Li Jingkun should pursue something and should not keep making such mindless commercial films!
·······Brother, you were the one who cursed people when filming "Hummingbird" and "Day and Night", right?

Regarding these evaluations, Li Jingkun was naturally noncommittal.

Of course, he also hates the behavior of bad money, but "Little People" will never reach this point, right?
It is estimated that there have been too many good things about him in recent years, and it is rare to have a bad review this time, which is quite eye-catching.

Therefore, the traffic and attention are not small, which caused the audience to ask him this question during the road show—it is also because Li Jingkun has not publicly responded to these comments, so some people can only ask him in person.

When this question was asked in the theater, the joyous atmosphere froze a bit. Didn't expect so many fans to get mixed up with a little black boy?

You're the only kid who laughs at my brother, right?
I won't give you eggs in the future...
Today, Li Jingkun will naturally not be intimidated by one or two questions, and the other party is not that aggressive. He just asked this question, so he said:
"Of course I am also very disgusted with the works of 'bad movies with high box office'. It has always been like this, so I have been pursuing high-quality movies and TV series. But it is a bit of a mistake to classify "Little People" as a 'bad movie with high box office'. Is it too much?"

Li Jingkun acted very calm and gentle, and the fans felt relieved; many people even laughed because of his first sentence—it was, if this movie is a "bad movie", how many movies would have to be rejected? Swept into the trash?

"Yes, in the past two or three years, "Little People" may have been rated poorly among several of my works, but at present it has also received a score of 7.8 on the most stringent film review website in China. So it won't be included in bad movies, right?"

Li Jingkun continued to ask rhetorically, and the host invited by the theater also interjected at the right time: "Haha, that may be because everyone has higher expectations of you."

Li Jingkun said: "So the first point, our movie is definitely not a bad movie; if 7 points is the pass line, it also exceeds this score!

I admit that there must be bugs, but this is a commercial action film, and I am afraid that no director can do it without any flaws.I think it is also an excellent work among commercial action films.

Second, I think that when a work is born, when a director wants to make a movie, he must first of all like what he likes, he must be able to convince himself, he must be able to pass the test in his heart, and passing it is enough.

If this work is a story and theme that he likes very much, then he can happily shoot it, and try to make most of the audience happy, so that investors will not lose money, then I think he has done a good job Very good.

The third point is that the host just said that everyone may have higher expectations of me; I admit this, but I don’t want to be kidnapped too much; I must pursue works like most directors, but occasionally I will I want to shoot some cool works.

And pure action movies have always been one of my dreams. Now that I have shot two action movies in a row, I really feel very cool!

Fourth point, many people say that the recent two films were too catering to the audience of Omi. This is quite speechless. All the members of "The Witch" are actors from our country, and the box office in Omi is not high. Where is it catered for?

Most of the actors in "Little People" are Omi, but this is also my personal attempt, just to see if I can go to other countries to make money.good.Many people say that I am very heroic in my filming, and that I shot Leu very well, but isn't this "learning from barbarian skills to control barbarians"?

Is it enough to let people from other countries come to us to make money, can't we use the movies to make money from them? "

Li Jingkun said a lot, but all of them were very pertinent.Later, he still had more ideas, saying that relying on "martial arts movies" or "ethnic suffering movies" to make other people's money is even more unreliable; also, he said that in addition to making action movies, he also wanted to make their own gun battles Movies and sci-fi, etc.

This series of words drew cheers and applause from the fans, and I felt inexplicably surprised and looking forward to it—I didn’t expect to stab my idol, so I could get many unexpected answers and gains.

We really have some bold ideas and don’t know whether we should talk about them...

·······
Li Jingkun's answer on the road show was posted on the Internet, which can be regarded as a reply to the recent criticism of "Little People".

His fans naturally understand and support this very much, but of course there are still many people who are black for black.

No one can wake up a person who is pretending to be asleep!

It's just that things were a bit unexpected, because 10 days after the release, something happened in China, which made a large number of black people lose their voices...
Ten days after the movie was released, a news about a domestic movie was suddenly broadcast on Yangma's news channel—to be exact, it was about Li Jingkun and Brother Long's new movie "Little People".

The news channel devoted a few minutes to reporting on the popularity and achievements of "Little People" around the world, fully affirming the excellent achievements of domestic filmmakers in recent years; encouraging and supporting domestic films in ensuring quality and local taste At the same time, you can also actively go out...

This is not the first time that Li Jingkun's movie has appeared on the news channel. The first time was when "Detective Chinatown" and "Journey to the West" were in a ring, and it was also reported for a few minutes.

But now only the movie "Little People" is on the news, and it has been reported for several minutes!
In other words, this time, the official TV station directly advertised for free, directly affirming its achievements and influence in front of more than one billion people across the country!
The officials all think that it has done a great job, and it has given their own people a face, so what else do others have to say?

If it's a bad movie, is it possible that it will be reported like this?
······
The TV station gave "Little People" a few minutes of content, showing the scene of many audiences queuing up outside the cinema to buy tickets, and not only filming scenes in domestic theaters, but also leading to several other countries, reporting many foreign countries. The picture of elder brothers and sisters buying tickets; at the same time, it also allowed some movie theater owners and audiences to express their views.

Many viewers said that the movie was very good, very exciting, and they liked it very much after watching it; the employees and owners of the movie theater said that the attendance rate of this movie was very high, and it was hard to get a ticket for the movie at one time, and there were often long queues in the first few days after it was released ·······

In the end, the TV station also revealed the achievements of the film so far.

Today, 10 days later, the domestic box office of "Little People" exceeded 13.52 billion yuan; overseas, including Beimi's total box office has reached 7680 million yuan.

In other words, 10 days after its release, the total box office of this movie has exceeded 18 billion, and it is basically a certainty that the follow-up breakthrough of 20 billion soft girls; at the same time, the global total box office also has a high probability of surpassing the 23.9 billion of "The Witch".

Leaving aside the domestic ones, the overall score is only a little higher than that of "The Witch", but the overseas ones have surpassed it in an all-round way!

After "The Witch" was released, the total overseas box office was 3.5 million, but the overseas box office of "Little People" has already exceeded this figure in just 10 days after its release-Omi's box office contributed a lot!
So that's why they want to get Omi to be screened, and the reason why they want to get it to be screened globally-after all, places like Omi are really big ticket warehouses!
One of the reasons why domestic filmmakers have always thought of conquering that land is naturally because that land can make a lot of money, which is the same reason that they have always come to China to make money.

Huaxia is also a big ticket warehouse!

······
The film has been officially certified and there are many supporters. The attendance and box office decline of "Little People" are within the normal range.

On the 25th, Liu Tianxian's birthday arrived.

This year her birthday was a bit more lively. On the night of the 24th, many girls were gathered for a party at Li Jingkun's villa.

The girls who came this time were Zhao Xiaodao, Shu Chang, Bu Guanjin, Bai Lu, and Chen Yao, and the boys were called by Li Jingkun. I was afraid it would be too monotonous, so I called them Wang Yang, Guo Junli, and Zhu Yilong.

After dinner that night, everyone sat in the yard and chatted while blowing the wind.

Because "Little People" is currently in theaters, it is natural to talk about this movie; then there is "Take My Brother Away" which Wang Yang and Guo Junli are preparing; "The Legend of Chu Qiao" by Zhao Xiaodao is naturally also talked about.

Although "Take My Brother Away" is a work of Longqi Film and Television, but this time there is no way to use their own artists, because the protagonists of the movie are relatively young, so this time they have already started to use actors born after 00 as the protagonists.

The drama "The Legend of Chu Qiao" hasn't finished yet, but the filming time is as long as 5 months, so naturally it is impossible not to give a break.Therefore, Zhao Xiaodao arranged for a day or two to be on Liu Tianxian's birthday.

But of course they don't just talk about work, anyway, it's the rest time, so naturally they can talk about everything.

About life, about feelings, about work and so on.

Zhao Xiaodao said, Li Jingkun gave her songs and movies on Liu Tianxian's birthday before, did he give her any special gifts now?Did Liu Tianxian arrange new works for her after the filming of "Wolf Warrior 2" was finished?
Liu Tianxian said: "In fact, their company has quite a lot of film projects, many of which are really good, but there are really few works suitable for me..."

Zhao Xiaodao said: "No way? What about "Detective Chinatown 2"? What about "Operation Red Sea"? As far as I know, there are several projects, and none of them are suitable?"

"The coffee position is not suitable, and it's okay to play if you can barely, but most of them are male-dominated, and the female characters are just a foil."

Li Jingkun also nodded: "Movies with female protagonists are too scarce, and high-quality ones are even rarer. If you don't want to be just a vase or a symbol in a movie with a leading man, you can only choose romance movies."

"But isn't your "Witch" pretty good?"

"It's pretty good, but you can't keep shooting the same type, right? Even the sequel will have to wait a year or two longer before the project is approved. And do you believe it would look good if the character was replaced by a male protagonist? Maybe the box office will be even better. high."

Everyone felt that it made sense after listening to it, and some silently nodded their heads.

Works with male themes are relatively popular. This is a fact, and there is no way to explain it.

Bai Lu said, "That's too unfair, isn't it?"

Li Jingkun said: "It's the same all over the world. Isn't it the same with Omi? There are more male-dominated movies there, and the male-dominated movies are more popular."

——In fact, the situation in our country is better than that over there, because in our country, in recent years, TV dramas with heroines are more popular than male dramas, with better ratings and greater influence! "

This is also true, so many of them nodded involuntarily.

Shu Chang said: "Then you mean to suggest that Sissy make a TV series? Wouldn't that lose her identity and status too much?"

Li Jingkun said: "My suggestion is, if you have good movie resources, you can make movies. If you don't have good movie resources, you can choose to make TV series first. And it may not be certain that I will be able to shoot later."

Zhao Xiaodao said: "Wow, you are a big director, and now you can even be said to be an international big director. Wouldn't it be good to make a TV series?"

"What's the matter, don't more and more big directors and big-name actors go back to filming TV series now? Look at Omi, David Fincher, Martin Scorsese, Steven Sauer De Berg and Spielberg are both, and they both went back to directing TV series, so will they lose their status? Isn’t the status the same?”

Chen Yao also interjected: "Why is this happening? Isn't it good to make movies?"

Li Jingkun said: "It's not that making movies is bad, but that there are many ways to express a story, and you don't need to stick to one form of movies. Of course, there are many reasons why great directors go back to make TV dramas."

　Amway's book, "Hollywood Billionaires".

　　I used to like the works of an author who graduated from the University of Southern California, so he is very professional in the European and American entertainment circles.There are a lot of dry goods in the book, and the career is also great. At the same time, the portrayal of female characters and the description of feelings are also very powerful.
