China Entertainment started from art school

Chapter 306 Li Jingkun is amazing!

Afterwards, Li Jingkun and Greg Peters stopped exchanging pleasantries, and the two sides quickly got to the point.

Of course Li Jingkun came here to seek cooperation, and he brought three projects in one go, namely "Dark Glory", "The House of Money" and "Queen's Gambit".

"Dark Glory" was mentioned to Liu Tianxian before, so there is no need to say more.

"Paper Money House" is the Wangzhe product released in the original time and space in 21 years, the kind that is popular all over the world; he didn't plan to come out so early, but thought that if he didn't come out sooner, it would be troublesome for others to approve the project in advance .In addition, this is the first time to meet with Netflix, and bringing out the most attractive projects will undoubtedly increase the success rate.

"The Queen's Abandoned Soldiers" is a novel published by an American novelist in 1983. When Li Jingkun came to the United States, he searched for some novel copyrights from time to time, and this is one of them.

Of course, to be on the safe side, the copyrights of these three projects have been registered, and now only some scripts and materials have been brought over.

There are three copies of each script, and several people can watch it together at the same time.And in addition to the script, there are also some shooting plans and storyboard scripts, etc.These don't need much and are fine.Because Li Jingkun is no longer a novice in the industry, but a world-renowned director, they know that he is a professional.

There are not many pages in the content of the script, and they are also professionals, and they are exposed to a lot of projects every day, so even three scripts can be read quickly.

After reading it, Greg Peters and several other colleagues couldn't hide their surprise, because these three scripts are all excellent and attractive enough, and they are also three works of completely different types and themes.

One is a revenge drama, one is a thriller drama, and the other is an upgrade drama.

After Greg Peters exchanged a few words with others, he resumed the conversation with Li Jingkun: "I have to say, these projects are all excellent! You are also very well prepared!"

Li Jingkun said: "Of course, I have always been prepared before taking action."

Greg Peters nodded: "It is in line with the excellent character of the people of your country-I noticed that you have been involved in screenwriting work?"

"The colleagues in our company's screenwriting department have also contributed a lot, but I have no mistakes in grasping the general direction."

Anyway, there are previous achievements, plus many people now know that he has a super high IQ and a memory palace, so it is not a big problem to participate in some excellent works.

"Amazing! As expected of a world-class director! He has a very precise grasp of human nature and human stories!"

"Thank you."

There are many projects, and the script and shooting plan are only part of it, so there are still many things to talk about later.

Greg Peters and his colleagues began to ask Li Jingkun for more details, and Li Jingkun and the colleagues who came with him were answering their questions.

For Li Jingkun's sudden cooperation with Miguo Film and Television Company, everyone in Longqi Film and Television was shocked at first, feeling that their boss would often make many unexpected moves!
But after being surprised, there is only excitement left, because this is not just an improvement in the standard, if it is really successful, their bonus will increase, which will definitely be good news for the company's stock price in the future!
The company's stock price has risen, and their net worth has also risen with the tide!
Therefore, the employees who were sent here were well-prepared, and they basically knew all the answers; both sides communicated very happily.

······
Li Jingkun and the others stayed in the United States for a few days, talked a lot with Netflix people, and introduced Liu Tianxian to them, saying that she would be the heroine of "Dark Glory".

Netflix didn't say anything about it. Even those who are not familiar with Li Jingkun and Liu Tianxian have gone to make up classes these days; they already know that the movie "The Witch" starring Liu Tianxian has a global box office of more than 3 million meters!

And other movies and TV series are also very popular in China, so I don't think there is anything inappropriate.

Besides, with their previous style, if they choose a partner, they generally don't interfere much with the other party's creative freedom.

Everything depends on the results. If you can't get results, you won't have such good conditions and rewards in the future.

This time they have discussed their general intentions, and they need to discuss how to cooperate and when to start cooperation in the future.

Li Jingkun wasn't in a hurry, he was busy too, so they went back to work in Kyoto first.

A few days later, Netflix sent people to Longqi Film and Television to investigate, and Greg Peters also followed.

Although there is no doubt about Li Jingkun's identity and strength, such a big matter is worth a visit.

After arriving here, they inspected Longqi Film and Television Company for a day, and then they were even more convinced of their professionalism.Then Greg Peters asked Li Jingkun, now that he has been so successful, he is not afraid of not being able to sell a good project, why should he cooperate with them?

Li Jingkun said: "Actually, I have a lot of ideas and stories that I fancy and think of, but we can't make them one by one. Even if we make them, the results are very good, but it is difficult to play their full value if we sell them ourselves." , but it may be different in your company!
Netflix's layout is world-class.You can sell a good idea and a good story all over the world and fully realize its value, which is something we can't do at present, so I think it will be a win-win result to cooperate with you-there is no other company in the world The company can have such a long-term vision and plan as you! "

Just now Greg Peters was full of praise for their company, and Li Jingkun naturally reciprocated.

Business blows each other.

"Are you also optimistic about our model?"

Greg Peters is also very happy to be affirmed by an international director-although Netflix is ​​currently very successful in the United States, it has not achieved much in Asia.

In August 16, they just started their first cooperation with Bangziguo, and the TV series has not been produced yet.

However, Li Jingkun knew that their first work would be broadcast around October 17. Although the quality was good, the results were disappointing.

Li Jingkun is going to show up at the right time shortly after they hit the street, and then see if he can take over some of Bangziguo's business.

Many people think that the first original drama that Netflix and Bangziguo cooperated with was "Kingdom" in 19, but it is not.

Netflix and Bangziguo have been cooperating to produce original TV series in August 16, but the first one is a romantic drama. Although the quality is good and it is well-known in the country, the sales on Netflix are not good——Bangziguo Romance movies are pretty good, which is what they are good at, but it seems that it is difficult to sell them globally.

They have to change their thinking, for example, start shooting some works similar to those produced by Li Jingkun...

······
In March, the upcoming "Operation Red Sea" held a movie launch conference in Kyoto.

Since the unexpected success of "Operation Mekong" last year, which scored 11.84 billion domestically, many people began to pay attention to the main theme movie, and only then did they realize that Li Jingkun had already quietly established a project Several main theme movie works!
Well, it's not silent. Everyone has paid attention to these works of his before, but they didn't take him seriously.

After all, everyone really didn't care about the main theme movie before - not only did they not care, but the wind direction on the Internet was more cynicism, and you can see one or two by looking at the comments Wu Jing enjoys.

But "Operation Mekong" made everyone feel a movie with a different theme, and everyone discovered that domestic movies with a theme can also be made like this!
Not only is there not too much preaching, not only is it not dull at all, it is even large in scale, and there are so many big scenes, it is not inferior to Omi blockbusters at all!

And it's our own blockbuster, our own national hero's blockbuster.

While attracting people, it can also really spread the patriotic sentiment to a wider audience!
This is a qualified and excellent theme movie!
Only when the market is opened first, and everyone is willing to watch it, can more Chinese people feel all this, right?

No one is watching, how to convey information and emotions?

With the popularity, when Chinese people enjoy a wonderful film, many people will realize in their spare time: there are not so many quiet years, but many people are carrying forward for us, many People are sacrificing and working hard for what!

With the degree of dissemination, people in other countries can also see this wonderful work, and then they may think of a question: It turns out that the Chinese people's movies have been made so well, so their country is already so good!

That's the power of cinema!

And if it goes on for a long time, it will be a very far-reaching and deep-rooted influence and impression!
That's what America has always done, they've been doing it for decades...
pull back.

In short, the success of "Operation Mekong" made people see another broad market, and made everyone realize that many things are rising again. At this time, everyone suddenly discovered one thing: Li Jingkun has quietly set up several projects. Main theme movie!

Such as "Wolf Warrior 2", "Operation Red Sea", "My Homeland and Me" and "My Hometown and Me".

Many netizens couldn't help but sigh one thing: What the hell, Li Jingkun is indeed a "god" man!
The observation of people's hearts and the market is too keen, and I realized this before "Operation Mekong" was released!
Then everyone admired and believed in his high IQ and "memory palace" ability.

"Now if it is said that he has no extraordinary IQ and strong observation ability, I don't believe it at all! Li Jingkun's IQ is absolutely super high!"

So when "Operation Red Sea" held a press conference in Kyoto, the media asked a lot of questions about it, which made Li Jingkun feel a little helpless—the focus was wrong, right?Now we are the movie boot ah?Why do I keep asking about things like Memory Palace and Brother Shui...
But I still answer the question that should be answered, and try to talk about my new work as much as possible:

"It's not that mysterious that we will project so many theme movies. It is really interesting to observe everyone's patriotic enthusiasm. In fact, it has been like this since Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior" was released. Don't think that It was not uncommon for this movie to only have a box office of 5.5 million before.

In fact, it was unimaginable before this, because a domestic modern military war film, a domestic theme film did not have any good results before this, and it is remarkable that it can reach this height.

So I think these projects can be done; at the same time, more importantly, our own audience is also very eager to have patriotic movies about ourselves.This is real!
Otherwise, why did we spend 5 million to shoot this "Operation Red Sea"?
It’s not because we have too much money, one is optimistic about this project, the other is that we want to tell the story of our own heroes for everyone to see, and finally there is a personal reason, I also want to make a movie for my fans. Wonderful military movie, and our hero story just fits this theme, because naturally there are many big scenes in the plot!
In this movie, there will be a lot of advanced weapons and equipment, such as flying in the sky, running on the ground, swimming in the water, all types, so it will definitely be a wonderful work by then, so stay tuned! up! "

A reporter said with a smile: "It should be very hard to shoot then, right?"

Li Jingkun said: "Yes, hard work is inevitable! So I have told the actors beforehand, if you can't bear the hardship, don't come. This is a tough guy movie."

Everyone laughed, including those on and off the stage.

Now it's just the launch conference, and it's not yet the time for official publicity, so the scene will be a little simpler.But the main characters are still there, such as Zhang Yi, Du Jiang, Li Xian, Hai Qing, Yin Fang and so on.

Although Liu Tianxian was playing a small role, she was famous, so she could be pulled over, and was quickly questioned by reporters.

A reporter asked her: "Recently, when you promoted "Wolf Warrior 2", you said that making military films is very hard, and that Wu Jing was injured many times, and he almost became a lame in the end. But now you have participated in "Wolf Warriors [-]" again. During the filming of OPERATION RED SEA, aren't you worried that you will get hurt too?"

Liu Tianxian said with a smile: "Haha, we girls are better, it's the male actors and staff who have worked harder. We are better, but maybe we should prepare more sunscreen and ointment.

Because I have to go to several places, and the weather there is different from ours, so I have to pay attention to skin care, as well as problems such as mosquito bites.

Because I have experienced it once, so I am not so scared this time, hahaha. "

After Liu Tianxian finished answering, several other leading actors also said some words one after another, some were self-encouragement; some said that they were attracted by this story and wanted to show this work to everyone; The film does the prep and personal training and more.

So what Liu Tianxian said just now is correct. It must be that male actors have worked harder. They have to do a lot of military training in the early stage. Not only must they have a certain understanding of many firearms, they must also be able to play and use them. Be presentable.

Of course, it is better to maintain a better body shape, and there is no shortage of training that should be done.

······
"Li Jingkun's new film is about to start, Jingdu and Liu Tianxian Zhangyi Lixian appear at the press conference!"

""Operation Red Sea" launch conference, Li Jingkun broke the shocking inside story!"

"Li Jingkun is optimistic about the main theme movie, "Operation Red Sea" with a cost of 5 million yuan is about to start!"

Soon, after the movie launch conference, many news reports about "Operation Red Sea" were released that night, and Li Jingkun's heroic investment in the main theme movie was also highlighted.

Many people said that he once again showed his unique astonishing vision, invested in three or four main theme movies in one go, and will continue to project similar works in the future. "I hope that our country also has its own hero movie, instead of just watching other people's "Saving Private Ryan" or "Captain America."

The cultural invasion of the United States is very deep. Even a five or six-year-old boy can say when buying clothes or shoes, I want the one with the "Captain America" ​​pattern...
They don't watch superhero movies!

This is known and deeply loved, which is also quite outrageous...

And after these reports came out, they quickly gained popularity and comments. Some people were a little upset when they saw so many people praising Li Jingkun, so they were not very polite in their comments:

"I'm sick, after "Operation Mekong" came out, who didn't know that the main theme movie had a future? He also said that he was optimistic about movies with this theme, and now blind people can see it?"

"Yo, the right side is amazingly clever! - Do you know when the project of "Operation Red Sea" was established? Do you know when the preparations for "Operation Red Sea" started? Do you know when the cost of 5 million was called out? ?”

"666, the far right should be someone who doesn't know about Li Jingkun, right? Or a little black guy? Didn't go to find out, just randomly hacked? ——"Operation Red Sea" was confirmed as a project before "Operation Mekong" was released , and has already made announcements and publicity.

At the same time, before "Operation Mekong" was released, Li Jingkun participated in Wu Jing's "Wolf Warrior 2", so it is certain that Li Jingkun really fell in love with and liked works of this theme very early! "

"So why do I say that Li Jingkun is amazing? It's because he often walks ahead of many people!
Before youth films became popular, it can almost be said that he was the first to make youth films; or in other words, he was the first to shoot several youth films in one go, laying a solid foundation for himself!
And now, he started to show his amazing investment vision again!I have to say that it is really easy for people with high IQs to make money! "

"People with high IQs and memory palaces must be different. Brother Shui once said: Making money is the easiest thing..."
