China Entertainment started from art school

Chapter 345 How does Huaxia Film go global?
Baixi Media is also one of Li Jingkun's most important companies and careers, but Liu Tianxian did not come today.

She had plans to come, but Li Jingkun felt it was unnecessary.

"Don't worry, if you make money, you will definitely have your share. Just train hard. If you finish the training early, start the machine and finish it early, we can get married and have babies sooner."

"..."

What Li Jingkun said was serious, and New Zealand is so far away, at least two or three days of tossing back and forth is gone.

It's just a celebration party for the listing, but it's nothing, right?
But even though she didn't come, the two of them have been sending messages and chatting on their mobile phones. Li Jingkun told her a lot of things on the spot, such as which friends came, which celebrities came, and so on.

After the banquet started for a while, and after some of the previous etiquette and steps were over, Li Jingkun asked Liu Tianxian if he wanted to video her and give her a live shot.

"Ah? Not good? At such a big event, you are not very good at playing with your mobile phone, and you have to video with others. Wouldn't it be rude?"

"...Thinking too much, this is our own banquet, I can't video with my family anymore?"

Today's celebration banquet was really high-standard, and there were indeed a lot of big names at the scene. Of course it would not be appropriate for other people to have a video chat with others here, but Li Jingkun has no such problem at all.

The same goes for Ning Hao, Xu Zheng and others. If they video chat with their families for a while, no one will say anything.Even when Big Brother Long did this, everyone just laughed.

Of course, if some other celebrity guests do this, they may not say anything on the surface, but maybe some bosses feel uncomfortable, feel that the other party is not decent enough and respect them, etc.; when there are any projects, they may not I found them to cooperate.

But Li Jingkun and the others are not afraid of this, and the current scene is their home field for Li Jingkun and Ning Hao, and everything was initiated by them, so no one really has any objections to him video chatting with his family. .

It's useless to have opinions.

Seeing that he insisted, Liu Tianxian had no choice but to follow him, but she also had to change her clothes and do some simple makeup.

So after a while, Li Jingkun connected with Liu Tianxian who was far away in New Zealand.

At this time, she was in her room, wearing long sleeves and glasses, sitting there with a smile and watching.

"How's the weather over there recently? Is it cold?"

"It's okay, it's colder in the morning and evening."

Although there is nothing wrong with Li Jingkun videoing with his family here, there must be something to tell everyone in advance.So at this time, seeing him chatting with his mobile phone, he didn't say anything, everyone just watched with a smile.

It's just that a new friend has entered the venue, and Li Jingkun must "introduce" everyone, so after he greeted Liu Tianxian, he quickly transferred his phone to Ning Hao: "Come on, this is Hao Brother, say hello."

"Haha, good morning Brother Hao." Liu Tianxian smiled and waved.

"Hi brother and sister." Ning Hao also said with a smile.

"Congratulations on the successful listing; your career has reached a new level!"

"Hahaha, we are happy together."

We are all acquaintances with a very good relationship, so after saying a few words, Li Jingkun also greeted Xu Zheng, Han Sanye and others with his mobile phone.

These are big bosses, but they are also people who often stay with Li Jingkun. They are basically good friends, so they all greeted each other with a smile.

"Brother Long is here too."

Later, when I came to Brother Long, Brother Long also chatted with her a few more words.

"Hello, big brother." Liu Tianxian greeted with a smile.

"Hello, Tianxian, are you in New Zealand now?" Big Brother Long said with a smile.

"Yeah, I'm doing training here, and I'll be shooting here later."

"Training is good, prepare for the movie well, and then shoot a good role and make a good movie."

"Haha, yes, for sure."

"It should be a few hours earlier than ours, right? It seems to be 4 hours. Is it more than 12 o'clock on your side?"

"Yes, brother is very familiar with jet lag."

"That's for sure. I often travel around the world. I have been to New Zealand many times."

After Liu Tianxian chatted with Big Brother Long for a few words, Li Jingkun held up his mobile phone and showed her the scenes of other tables at the banquet. Everyone was a huge round table, and many familiar stars were there.

"Haha, how are you doing? Without their consent."

"It's okay, they are all from our own family. Besides, they are celebrities, and celebrities are not afraid of showing off."

And he didn't want to publicize it, he just photographed a few people she knew well.

"Ah Jin is here too?" Liu Tianxian soon saw an acquaintance.

"Yes, there are many people from Longqi Film and Television."

Li Xian, Zhu Yilong, Zhang Yu, Ren Suxi, Yang Zini, Bai Lu and Bu Guanjin all came; there were even a few little girls from Wenlan Culture, Zhao Jinmao, Zhao Lusi and Hu Lianxin.

For such a big event, if they have time, they can come and make their debut. There are so many directors on the scene, maybe they will be picked up by someone and asked to play one or two roles-of course there is a joking element, but as an artist , multiple exposures are always good.

And now that Liu Tianxian has mentioned Bu Guanjin, let's go over and show her.

Bu Guanjin's table was basically an artist from Longqi Film and Television. Although everyone saw the boss approaching, although they were a little confused, they all smiled and greeted him.

"Brother Kun." "Boss."

Everyone's name is different, some are very familiar with Li Jingkun, and some are not.He is very familiar with the artists of Longqi Film and Television, and basically has direct cooperation with him. Of course, the least familiar are the three little girls.

"Hi everyone, is the food good tonight?" Li Jingkun greeted first.

"Haha, it's pretty good."

"It's delicious."

"I like this crab meat very much. It's delicious."

"Brother Kun, are you full?"

Everyone answered one after another, but Li Jingkun brought his family, so he simply said hello, and came to Bu Guanjin with his mobile phone: "Come on, your elder sister Qianqian is looking for you."

"Ah." Bu Guanjin laughed in surprise, and then started talking to the person in the video, "Sister Qian, why didn't you come back?"

"It's a bit busy here, we have to train every day." Liu Tianxian said.

"It was hard work, wasn't it?"

"It's okay, I'm getting used to it."

"New Zealand is beautiful, right? I haven't been there yet."

"Yes, the scenery is quite beautiful. You can come here to play when you have time in the future. There are also a lot of delicious food. By the way, I will send you some special products, such as chocolates and biscuits."

"Okay!"

After Liu Tianxian chatted with Bu Guanjin, Yang Zini and Bai Lu also left their seats and came here.

"Hi, lady boss, how are you?" Yang Zini smiled and waved.

"Hahaha, Zi Ni, Bai Lu, how are you all?"

·······
There are a lot of celebrities coming tonight, and there are also many first-line male and female artists, but it was a bit unexpected for Li Jingkun that Brother Long would come, so he was allowed to sit at the main table.

In the second half of the banquet, even most of the people at the main table had dispersed. Some went to greet and chat with other friends, some went to the toilet, etc., so Brother Long sat with Li Jingkun and talked with them. He drank a few glasses of wine alone.

Li Jingkun also understands his thoughts, nothing more than that if there is a good project, they can cooperate again.

Brother Long is 63 years old. To be honest, he is not short of money or fame at this stage.Why do you keep making movies every year?

The main reason is of course because I love movies and like to make movies.

Some people say that he has gained fame and fortune, and the reason why he keeps making movies now is because he is afraid of being alone, and at the same time, he also likes the feeling of being the big brother on the set.

He can't bear this feeling.

Li Jingkun felt that this analysis should be very close to his real thoughts, because he also likes the excitement and the feeling of being a boss, so he can understand him.

However, Big Brother Long belongs to filming, and he still wants to do better.It's just that the quality of movies has dropped a lot in recent years, and I was scolded before that after leaving Li Jingkun, the works returned to the previous level.

And Li Jingkun's works, including the TV series he directed and planned by him, are of good quality, so it's normal for Brother Long to want to cooperate with him again.

In fact, let alone him, many other celebrities often reveal this idea, such as Hua Ge, Li Bingbing, etc., but it really depends on fate, if there is no suitable project, there is really no way.

Recently, Big Brother Long knew that Li Jingkun had been idle and had no new projects planned, so he came directly to see if there were any suitable projects.

Brother Long said: "Many of our Chinese filmmakers, when they reach a certain height, they can't help but have an idea and a responsibility, that is, they hope that through their own attempts and efforts, they can bring more about China's culture and Let the story go, you agree with that?"

"Yes, this is also normal. The greater the ability, the greater the responsibility; under normal circumstances, the higher the status, the stronger the sense of responsibility."

Li Jingkun quite agrees with what Brother Long said. Many big-name directors or actors will have this idea after they become famous. It may be because of national pride, or it may be because they have reached a certain position and encountered a lot of discrimination and contempt outside. Wait, so I also want to say something to people all over the world: our culture and stories are also very good!
Seeing that Li Jingkun agreed with his point of view, Brother Long continued: "For example, Bruce Lee, Li Lianjie, me, Zhang Guoshi, Wu Jing in recent years, and you. I really hope for my own movies. The culture of one's own country can go out.

Of course, this list is still very long, and every responsible Chinese artist has this idea.But how many people do you think have succeeded? "

"..."

"Not many, right? The few I mentioned, together with me, barely have a little achievement, but they are still far away from the real works and influence recognized by the world.

Let's use Wu Jing as an example, "Wolf Warrior 2" is amazing, right?The movie is also very exciting and beautiful, and the rhythm is obviously in line with Hollywood's narrative mode. The box office has also created history in China, but how is the situation overseas?

No one approves of you, no one wants to see you, right?
At present, your works are better, such as "The Witch" and "The Tuner", each of which has a box office of [-] to [-] million overseas, and its influence is not bad. Besides that, we are the best performers. Cooperated with "Little People".

what about others? Isn't "Tang Detective 2" not good-looking? Isn't "Operation Red Sea" wonderful?But what about overseas box office?Do other people like to watch it? "

"..."

Brother Long has laid the groundwork for a long time, but Li Jingkun already roughly knows what he means, but he thinks that Li Jingkun has not been successful overseas in the past few years?Or why doesn't he continue to go out after he has achieved such a great success?
Brother Long continued: "Looking at the filmmakers in China, I think you are the one who is most likely to bring our own films and stories to the outside world, because several of your works have already achieved results. Had better grades than anyone else!

So if we continue to do it later, there is hope that we can accomplish this feat. "

Li Jingkun said: "In fact, this kind of thing is also related to the comprehensive strength of our country. In recent years, we have developed better and better, and cultural output and cultural power have naturally become stronger and stronger."

And "The Wandering Earth" is about to come out, and it will be a very powerful movie that exports its own culture and stories.

Of course, the problem that Brother Long mentioned just now still exists-the box office is high in the country, and the quality is also very good, but there are still no good results overseas.

This is really fucking bad, Omi’s movies can do well in their own country, and they can also get good results in Huaxia, but if Huaxia’s movies can get high box office in their own country, they can’t go to Omi’s side.

"Yes, what you said is correct, so other aspects are getting better and better. Don't film and cultural aspects need us to work hard?"

Li Jingkun nodded: "Brother is right."

"This is the phenomenon now. If we really make our own movies, for example, our movies with billions of box office can only be made in our own country and cannot be exported.

We have 'Kung Fu', we have 'Panda', we don't have "Kung Fu Panda", they made "Kung Fu Panda", the whole world knows.We filmed so much 'Mulan' that no one knew.

Now Disney is making a cartoon "Mulan", and the whole world knows it.Our big director has made so many films, such as "Weeping Blood on the Terrace" and "Listening to the Government Behind the Curtain".

And now you have this opportunity, you have this hope, you are very smart, and you are familiar with the film narrative of Hale Lau, and they can accept the films you make, so I have always wanted to ask you to continue to cooperate in making films, because you can make good films. The work is one thing, another reason is that we can continue to sell our own movies and go out.

You can find Omi actors to make your movie, "Knives Out", which is very good, but many Chinese directors can also do it before, but it is basically not our Chinese story.

So I think you also want to go out with our own culture and stories, maybe you have to continue to make movies with Chinese faces as the protagonists? "

Brother Long said a lot, and he said it very well. Li Jingkun had to admit that what he said was very reasonable, but the problem still remained. It’s not that he didn’t use Chinese artists as the protagonists. He also had Omi actors in "Tang Detective 2". It's pretty mediocre over there.

Brother Long said: "So we can only do it step by step. I think we can only follow the model of "Little People". The main character is me, and most of the other supporting roles use Omi actors."

"..." Li Jingkun nodded. He didn't think there was anything wrong with him making a big circle, but started to check for omissions and fill in the gaps. "If you want to sell well at the box office all over the world and in Beimi at this stage, you may still We have to cooperate with Omi Film and Television Company, so that we are more likely to get a good box office in Beimi."

"Yes, this is very helpless, but it is also very realistic. You have to let them make money, and you have to make them feel that this is their movie, not exactly Huaxia's own movie."
