China Entertainment started from art school

Chapter 305 Netflix: You are the best creator!

Li Jingkun's speech lasted for more than an hour, followed by time to answer some questions.

Soon, Li Jingkun asked a boy to stand up, and the teacher who helped host the scene quickly passed the microphone to him.As a result, the first thing he said was not a question, but a passage like this:

"Hi brother, I'm Chang Hao from the 15th grade director department. Just like you, teachers Su Zhijun and Xu Haofeng are also my teachers. My teachers often use you as an example and tell us a lot about you in class. , so we have learned a lot from you."

After the boy said this, it also aroused the cheers and applause of many people. It is estimated that many of them are also students from the director department.

"Thank you." Li Jingkun replied with a smile.

"But we also sometimes feel a little lost. You said that there are many opportunities. Everyone can use their mobile phones to start taking pictures of their own works, but we still often feel that we don't know how to start. And many popular things also confuse us, because there are many Nonsensical works, many spoof works, I think there is no nutrition at all, why are they so popular? How do you think I should face this problem."

After Chang Hao's question was finished, Li Jingkun motioned him to sit down first, and then began to answer his question:
"Okay, thank you. This is really a very good question, because I think there should be many people who have the same confusion as you. First of all, let me try to answer your first question, that is, feel at a loss?
Why do you feel this way?In fact, in the final analysis, it is because there are not enough things to read, not enough knowledge reserves, and not enough creative reserves; at the same time, it is also because there are not enough times and things to think and create.

These two points are very important, but you can temporarily ignore the first point, because you have entered this school and have been studying for more than a year now, and your knowledge reserve should be enough for you to start some creations.

Of course, the pace of learning should not stop!
Then focus on starting your practice, and you don’t need to do much. Pick up your pen, turn on your computer, and start creating two or three minutes of stories; It can be shot for 3 minutes, or 6 or [-] minutes, there is no problem.

The point is to get started.And the accumulation of less makes more; with more ideas and ideas, problems will continue to be discovered and progress will continue. "

Li Jingkun finished speaking, and his answer was quite good, so the students and teachers couldn't help applauding him.

He then replied: "Second question, why are there so many spoof videos on the Internet? Why are there things that you think are not nutritious?
First of all, you have to understand one thing, don't imagine how tall you are, don't think yourself too high, don't be too self-righteous!
It is true that movies are known as the seventh great art, but we must first understand one thing, what is a very important function of movies?
It's entertainment!

It's for entertainment!

It is to bring happiness to everyone!
And the unnutritious things you mentioned also meet the entertainment needs of a large part of netizens, which is why they appear and become popular.Because they are entertaining enough and enough to pass the time.And it's fragmented time.

After all, it takes at least one or two hours, or even many days, to watch many works in movies and TV.But many people don't have so much time, modern life is too stressful, and making money is too difficult, so what should most of us do if we want to relax?Then you can only watch some short, less thought-provoking videos!

In the future, movies and TV series may be shorter - I am not saying that a movie is counted as a few minutes, but that many people may cut and refine movies and TV series to make something similar to a "movie commentary". Briefly tell everyone what the story of this work tells.

Of course, I am not saying that these things are right, nor that they have problems. They are the product of the times, the product of technological development, and the product of human needs.As long as it is not too vulgar, as long as it is not illegal and criminal, many things are inevitable.

So what we have to do is to look at these things ideally, and then do our own thing well-many people like these things, but there are also many people who have been pursuing the movies and TV series you make, and there will always be many People are willing to spend time and energy to enjoy the deeper spiritual enjoyment you bring to them! "

Li Jingkun answered very seriously and said a lot of things, and all of them were words with substance, so everyone once again gave him warm cheers and applause for his answer.

Then, another girl was also picked up.

"Hi brother, I'm from the Department of Drama and Literature at the 16th level. You just said that now is a very good time. I also admit that the advancement of technology has indeed brought about many things. There seem to be more good works than before, but why do I think Or are there more masters in the past, and more powerful people in the past?"

Li Jingkun nodded, thanked the other party for his question, and asked her to sit down first, then he said:

"This is a very common idea. Many people often think that ancient things are better, that there are more good things in the past than now, and that there are more masters and talents in the previous generation, and they are more outstanding. Of course, I don't deny that many things in the past The teachers and professors are very powerful, such as our teacher Tian Zhuang, Zhang Guoshi, Jia Zhangke, Zhang Yuan, Wang Xiaoshuai and so on.

But this does not mean that the new generation will be worse than the old!

We are just relatively young, but we have not yet reached the time period when we start to exert ourselves.

There are talents from generation to generation in the country, and every generation must be wonderful!

Let’s not talk about those from other schools. We have a lot of good filmmakers from Beijing Film Academy, and there are quite a few powerful filmmakers!

For example, your senior brother Ning Hao, your senior brother Wen Muye, and Xin Yukun have also come to Jingying to study seriously. These people will be among the top talents in the industry now and in the future, and they may become masters in the future.

And more people have not yet begun to find their own direction, and have not really exerted their strength.You don't need to worry about this problem, there will only be more excellent people around you than before..."

Li Jingkun also talked more about this issue. On the whole, he believes that the present is definitely better than the past. Now the market is good, the technology is good, and the film and television creation must be a scene where a hundred flowers are blooming.

Of course, he also expressed an opinion, that is, with the advancement of technology, there is no threshold for everyone to shoot, and there is no threshold for editing. When everyone can be a director, it will of course be a big challenge for practitioners.

If you want to live a good life and mix better than others, you may need to put in more effort and create better works!

Li Jingkun finally went back to Jingying, everyone was very enthusiastic and enthusiastic, and some familiar faces were also called to ask questions, such as the 16-level actress Guan Xiaotong, and even a professor joined in the fun and asked him a question.

Of course, the final speech was seriously timed out, and even more time was taken up by the questioning part later.

There are quite a lot of things involved in this speech, especially the part that asks questions later, there are all kinds of questions, such as questions about movie themes, questions about career planning, and some people even asked questions about the choice of brokerage companies .

Of course, some people also mentioned the "Li Jingkun Film Culture Center" he just donated to establish. He said that everyone should study hard, and there will be opportunities to practice and work in Longqi Film and Television in the future.

Finally, there was another question that caused the whole auditorium to burst into laughter. It was asked by a girl from the animation department. It was probably because Li Jingkun had stayed with them long enough today and felt that they were very relatives, so he boldly asked him. Asked:

"Hi brother, I'm from the animation department at level 16. I want to ask you a question. I saw the news that someone saw you going to meet Sister Liu's parents during the Chinese New Year. So I want to ask you if you Getting married soon?"

"Hahaha!"

As soon as this question came out, everyone in the auditorium burst into laughter.

Okay, this girl is so courageous, she dares to tease your seniors, right?

You will be fined to hand in two extra copies of your homework!
······
Li Jingkun's return to his alma mater to donate money and give speeches can still attract a lot of attention, after all, he is a big shot.

Not only the media people reported the incident, but many Beijing Film and Television students also sent many photos of the scene.Because Guan Xiaotong is a star student in grade 16, the scarf she wears also attracts more attention.

"Brother is so handsome! Today's speech is also very exciting, and my friends and I feel that it has benefited a lot! I hope that brother will come back to school to give lectures in the future @李景坤."

Li Jingkun and Guan Xiaotong haven't worked together yet, but she has debuted for many years longer than him, and they have met and chatted at some events before, so the two are considered acquainted.

So after the speech, the two chatted a few words alone and took a group photo, so Guan Xiaotong also posted the group photo at this time, which soon attracted many comments from netizens.

"Go back more often? Your brother will spend 1200 million to go back once. I think it's better to go back a few times less."

"Hahaha, the brain circuit on the right side is really clear! Li Jingkun donated the money himself, okay? If he doesn't want to take it, who can force him to donate it?"

"Haha, the far right must be joking, and this is not the first time Li Jingkun has donated money to his alma mater. As far as I know, it should be the third time, right? It's just that he didn't donate as much as the last two times."

"666. Seriously, how long has he graduated? He has become an outstanding alumnus of Beijing Film Academy so soon! How awesome!"

"What's the matter with you that you can't even praise people? Li Jingkun was an outstanding alumni of the school before he graduated, okay?"

"Does no one care about the content of the speech? Are there any video resources? I also want to listen to Li Jingkun's speech! Who has the resources?"

······
In late February, Li Jingkun flew to the headquarters of Netflix in the United States.

In addition to Liu Tianxian, assistants and bodyguards, colleagues from the company also brought a few colleagues from the legal department, marketing business department and film and television production department to go together, so that if the cooperation makes progress, other work can be started soon Negotiate or sign some contracts or something.

And Netflix learned that they were coming, and was ready to welcome them; the specifications were also very grand, and they directly sent Chief Product Officer Greg Peters to contact them.

In China, many people know that the salary conditions of Longqi Film and Television are very good. Even in the film and television industry where the salary is generally relatively high, Longqi Film and Television is relatively famous.

The same is true of Netflix in the United States.

Their management believes that the entertainment industry is one of the fastest-changing industries at the forefront; the invention and development of any technology may bring about earth-shaking changes in this industry.

Therefore, in order to keep ahead of others and not lag behind others and other companies, in addition to keeping up with the pace of technology, they also need to constantly add talents who can follow the trend and in all aspects!

And the best talent obviously needs the highest salary in the whole industry.

And choosing these talents, trusting these talents and partners, in addition to giving them money, they have given them a high degree of freedom.

Collaborators including Ben Ziguo and Bangziguo have expressed the same opinion: Netflix is ​​very quick to give money, and it also gives a lot, but it will not interfere with your creation!
Of course, capitalists are in business and want to make a lot of money.

"Welcome to Netflix!"

But their desire for talents and good content can never be fake, so they are sincerely happy about the arrival of such a great director as Li Jingkun.

······
People from Netflix received them in the company’s reception room, and after introducing each of them, Chief Product Officer Greg Peters said to Li Jingkun with a smile: “Actually, we already know the name of the director, and we still want to find a chance Let me get to know you."

"Haha, it seems that we have a good understanding." Li Jingkun said with a smile.

Greg Peters thought he didn't believe it, and went on:

"It's true, I'm not joking, because Netflix's corporate strategy is to cooperate with the world's top original creators and creatives, we have also set up many offices in Asia, and there will be more in the future Put the focus there to dig out more good ideas and stories.

And you are one of the best screenwriters and directors in China and even in Asia in recent years, so of course we are very interested in you.

A very important point is that the works you create are not only popular in your own country, but also in the whole of Asia and even in the world, such as "Tuner", "Witch" and "Little People".

It's just because your personal career is also very big, we are not sure whether you will choose to cooperate with us. "

"I get it, we're actually doing pretty well in that regard, lol."

Li Jingkun nodded, not being humble with him anymore.

He felt that what the other party said should be considered a bit of sincerity, because they are indeed looking for partners all over the world. They cooperate with Siam, South America, and even Africa, where there is no oil. Can discover newcomers.

And I am really willing to spend money, and I will be able to develop more than 100 original dramas in the next year!
This is equivalent to more than ten times that of American companies like HBO!

　Thank you for the 100 coin reward and support of Slow Tour Book Sea!
　　It is possible that the book will be finished in the next one or two months, and I feel that there is not much to write. I may write about marriage and childbirth later, or I may save these for extra episodes.

　　In short, the progress may be accelerated recently, and I feel that there is not much room for improvement in the movie box office.

　　Recently, I have also been thinking about preparing a new book.
