Chapter 115 I Can Leave the Heroine to You
In fact, Zhou Dongyu is not only 16 years old now, but she also has a baby face.And not to mention now, even when I was in my 20s, filming "Youth in Youth" was not against the law...

The subject matter of "Hummingbird" itself is not as popular as "Introduction to Architecture", so it is good for the film to find a well-known actor; in addition, this role requires higher acting skills, so it must have a suitable appearance and certain acting skills Requirements, there are not many actors in this age group who can choose.

After contacting Zhou Dongyu before, the other party also responded quickly, and she also agreed to star in this movie.

In fact, her situation after "The Love of the Hawthorn Tree" is a bit embarrassing. There is no shortage of resources, but she also has high requirements. She must not only conform to her image, but also be the heroine, so it takes time and luck to find the right resources. .

Perhaps as a prostitute, it is easy to find one or two female lead actresses, but after all, the first movie is the heroine of Zhang Guoshi's movie. It is even more difficult to play the heroine again.

So for the time being, I still have to stick to finding works with heroines.

"Hummingbird" can be regarded as the best work that has been obtained in the past more than a year-the third work of the youth trilogy directed by Li Jingkun, there is no reason not to star in it.

"What about the work arrangements later? Is there a place for me?" Mao Xiaotong said.

"I haven't decided what to shoot for the fourth movie, but it should change the theme, and I won't make youth movies for the time being."

"Stop making youth films? Isn't youth films just becoming popular now? I see a lot of people saying that a small investment yields a big return."

Yes, the fire of "Introduction to Architecture" made people in the circle see the potential and potential of youth films. After a month or two, "Those Years" will be released, and youth films will spring up like mushrooms.

"The main reason is that I personally plan to change the subject matter, and it's not interesting to make youth films all the time." Li Jingkun said, "But my company will not give up the production of youth themes, and there will be a youth-themed TV series next year."

"TV series? Do you want to make a TV series?"

"Yeah, look, it's about youth again, so the next movie will definitely not be a youth movie."

"But isn't your movie really good? Why do you want to go back and make TV dramas?" In the eyes of everyone, TV dramas must be a level lower than movies—although Mao Xiaotong also makes a lot of TV dramas, it doesn't prevent her from having this kind of view.

"The company needs to develop, and the TV series are also quite good, and the money is also good."

Longqi Film and Television has signed two artists, and will definitely continue to sign more people back in the future, but the scope of business is too narrow and single if only making movies, and movies alone can't support so many people. TV dramas must be mentioned schedule.

And TV dramas will indeed develop better and better, including web dramas—whether they are from the East or the West.Many big-name actors and directors behind Omi have gone back to engage in TV dramas or online dramas.

So the company is slowly expanding now, and may also consider changing to a larger office address in the future.

"If you're interested, I can leave the heroine to you, and I can give you up to a month's consideration time, because I've been busy with other things recently, and the preparations for the TV series haven't started so quickly."

Because Longqi Film and Television has not yet produced a TV series, it does not have the resources in this regard.

The first thing to do is to determine whether there are any cooperative TV stations. Generally, the production of TV dramas will first negotiate with the TV stations that are interested in purchasing and cooperating, and start filming after someone buys it.

Of course, there are also many TV dramas that look for buyers after filming, but this kind of TV series are generally famous directors and actors, and they are not afraid that no one will buy them. Self-confident, some are just to coax lovers to be happy.

There are all kinds of situations, but Li Jingkun and the others want to do business seriously, so of course they take a safer route.

The work on the TV series hasn't started yet, but with the current reputation of Li Jingkun and Longqi Film and Television, it shouldn't be difficult to find a partner, right?If it doesn't work, he will also consider taking the online drama route.

"What kind of story are you going to shoot? Did you write it yourself?" Mao Xiaotong said.

"I didn't write it. I'm going to adapt someone else's novel. The copyright has already been bought."

Li Jingkun asked her to go back and buy a novel called "Suddenly This Summer", which he planned to use as the first TV series of Longqi Film and Television.

"Okay, then I'll go back and take a closer look."

Although she is now very familiar with Li Jingkun, but after all, it is a matter of work, and there is still such a long time to think about it, so of course she has to read the work first before talking.

In fact, Li Jingkun is not someone who just gives out roles, mainly because Mao Xiaotong himself is suitable for this role, and there is no problem with his acting skills.

So giving to others is also giving, so why not arrange for someone you are familiar with and know?

……

At the beginning of September, Li Jingkun sent a message on the bib:
"Work arrangements for the coming year: 1. Complete the recording of the music album "Double Ducks"; 2. Complete the third part of the youth trilogy "Hummingbird", and it has been confirmed that the heroine Zhou Dongyu will star; 3. Produce and shoot Longqi Film and Television No. [-] TV series "Suddenly This Summer".

After "Introduction to Architecture" was released, Li Jingkun deliberately reduced the update of the bib, in order not to over-consume the influence of the bib, so he only released two or three pieces of information in a month, and this is one of the few important ones information.

"Okay, approved, hurry up and do it."

"I'm writing a work report here."

"Wow, it's all about finding a girl!"

"Zhou Dongyu isn't good at acting, is he? He doesn't look that good either."

"The album title is kind of weird."

"Why did you change the name of the album? Isn't it called "22"?"

"Eh, er, let me explain this matter, the name of the album is still "22", which means that he is 22 years old this year, and it is a music album that he started to produce and create at the age of 22.

But one day a while ago, a bar friend said that this means two ducks?Everyone thinks it makes sense, so when discussing this album later, netizens called it "Double Duck" - never expected that Li Jingkun himself knew about this, and directly used it...

It is estimated that friends did not expect such a thing to happen...

I guess there will be an explosion in the post bar today..."

"Hahaha, does it represent a very 2 album?"

"'Double Ducks', hahaha, someone who actually called his first album 'Double Ducks' is also a talent!"

"Li Jingkun's Bar has already been discussed by many people. They speculate that there may be Li Jingkun's own trumpet in it, and they are all planning to arrest people."

""Suddenly This Summer"! Has no one noticed this? I just finished reading this novel recently, and I didn't expect someone to shoot it so soon! Surprise!"

After Li Jingkun distributed the scarf, he didn't pay much attention to it. After all, it was just a notice in advance, and it was not yet time for the key publicity.

He also went to Yangzhou in September, because his eldest sister Li Xiaojie was admitted to Jiaotong University in Yangzhou and had been studying there for a while.So he decided to go and have a look.

"It's okay, it's pretty good." Li Jingkun walked around the campus with her.

"Generally speaking, many of my classmates often complained at the beginning." Li Xiaojie said.

"It's normal. Many college students will feel this way when they first enter the campus. Maybe you can improve your test scores before, and it will be better if you go to a first- and second-tier school."

"······ Then I have to pass the exam."

"So there's nothing to complain about. My score is here, so I can only come here. At least your campus area is quite large, much larger than our school. Our teachers themselves said that our school would find a place to date. No."

"No way? Aren't you Jingying very famous?"

"Well, the famous little one."

The two were walking on the campus of Jiaotong University. There were quite a lot of students inside, so he still made some disguises, that is, wearing a peaked cap and a mask.

Although there is nothing wrong now, there is nothing special about wearing a mask here. You can wear a mask if you have a cold or are afraid of dust when you go out.

In his last life in 2008, he came to Yangzhou to go to school in the same way. There was a roommate who was a local, and he was used to wearing a mask and hat on the way from home to school.

So his impression of the local trendy men in Yangzhou has always been like this: very thin, wearing short-sleeved shorts, hats and masks, and the most important thing is to carry a backpack or a messenger bag.

Sometimes it's a handbag, the kind of bag girls would carry when they go out.

This is quite incomprehensible to poor and straight men, so I can only give him a direct evaluation: so tide, so wet.

In the evening, Song Hairong also came over. He is also going to university here in Yangzhou, but there is still a certain distance from here.

So the three of them found a place to eat outside, and after eating, they planned to go to Longdong Pedestrian Street for a stroll.

"How are you doing recently? Did you find a girlfriend?" Li Jingkun said.

"I haven't caught up yet, I'm working hard...Second sister, what are you laughing at? How old am I, is it normal to want to find a girlfriend now? Can you ask your brother if he has this idea?" Song Hairong said.

So Li Xiaojie turned her eyes to her brother.

"I don't have a girlfriend, and I still want to focus on my career now."

"Hehe, your career isn't serious enough, is it? I really don't believe you don't have a girlfriend. The entertainment industry is full of feasting and feasting, and there are so many beauties, so you don't have a girlfriend?"

"I really don't have a girlfriend, I just want to make money now."

The next day, Li Jingkun stayed alone in the hotel, working on computers and mobile phones until the afternoon, and asked Li Xiaojie to go out to look at the house.

Yes, another focus of this visit is to buy her a house.

It's been a while since school started, and her account has now been successfully transferred to the school's collective account, so I can't waste this opportunity and just plan to buy a house near the school.

However, there is also a little trouble with the collective account of the school, that is, the loan is more troublesome, so this time I plan to buy a set with full money.The community has also been selected, and it is in the nearby Baicui Garden——

One of the best and most expensive communities around, there are nearby primary schools, provincial first-level middle schools, hospitals, botanical gardens, forest parks, pedestrian streets, etc., and a subway botanical garden station will be opened in a few years.

……

When Jingying was a senior, there were relatively few courses, and the teacher also encouraged everyone to go out to find a job.However, if there is a class, you still have to attend the class normally, but Li Jingkun has always been a bit special, after all, the grades are there.

So this year Li Jingkun may come to school less often, after all, work has started to increase.

But there is another important task in the senior year, which is to shoot graduation short films, which can be feature films or documentaries, generally no less than 20 minutes.

In the first month of school, the theme can be determined and handed over to the teacher, and the shooting plan will be submitted later.Excellent works will be screened in the standard exhibition hall of the school next year.

Therefore, in late September, I still found time to come back. In addition to submitting short film scripts, I must at least give respect to my identity as a student—and after another year, I will no longer be a student, so I will talk to you again. Farewell to the identity of the student.

People are so cheap. When they were in school, they always wanted to escape from school early. After many years of graduation, they would miss the days of studying very much.

So if he has time to go back to school, he will still come back.

"Ah, is it Li Jingkun?"

"Li Jingkun appeared?"

"Brother Jing Kun!"

As soon as he arrived at the gate of the school that day, Li Jingkun was surrounded by several juniors and younger sisters, who wanted to take a group photo and sign their names.

He was a little surprised, because he rarely encountered such a situation in school before.

After all, no matter what, those who can go to the Beijing Film Festival can be said to be the pride of heaven.The eyes are higher than the top, so it is not easy to chase stars, let alone this star is about the same age as them.

"Okay, don't worry - take a photo? Is my hair a bit messy?"

Several junior sisters laughed and said it was okay, handsome and so on.

"What grade are you in?"

"We are freshmen, and we just came to report this year."

"Which department?"

"A few of us are from the animation academy."

"I'm from the School of Photography."

They laughed and laughed at Li Jingkun after taking a group photo, and waved goodbye without continuing to entangle.There are also girls who ask if they want to buy you milk tea, and another girl says just give him the cup in your hand.

Li Jingkun saw that they were joking with each other, and waved them goodbye.

When I arrived at the school, I also encountered one or two batches of such situations, and most of them were freshmen.It's normal, after all, the sophomore to senior students are quite familiar with him, so they are not so excited to see him.

He understood that it was because of "Introduction to Architecture", after all, its influence was much greater than that of the previous "Youth School".

After arriving at the school, I first visited the teacher Su Zhijun, and then I was surrounded by other teachers, so I didn't go to class again, and talked about daily life with several teachers.

In recent years, Li Jingkun's name has been very popular in the school, but Jingying is still Jingying, and there are still many powerful people.

Recently, another student has attracted the attention of many director department teachers. This person is Wen Muye.

Wen Muye was born in 1985. Like Li Jingkun, he also started to take the Beijing Film and Television examination in 2008, but he took the entrance examination for the graduate student of the Department of Directing.

But he failed the exam in 08, and when he came back the next year, he failed the exam again.

Three years later, he was finally admitted to the graduate class of the directing department, under the tutelage of Mr. Tian Zhuang.

I haven't been studying for a long time, but I am already well-known in the school, because the short films he made before are of high quality, and he is also a rare talent in the eyes of the teachers.

Li Jingkun heard that he had appeared before, and wanted to meet him a long time ago.This time when I came back to say hello to some teachers, I happened to bump into him, and the two chatted for a while.

Li Jingkun was more educated than him, but he was a postgraduate student... Let's just call each other by their first names.

"I have also watched a few short films of yours, and they are very well shot. The characters are very real and full of real feelings! Whether it is the story, emotion or character, I like it very much." Li Jingkun said.

"Thank you, I really appreciate it. I also like your "Youth School" very much." Wen Muye said with a smile.

"If you are interested after graduation, you are welcome to come to Longqi Film and Television, and I will pay you to make a movie! Commercial movies, literary movies, everything is fine!"

"what?"

"No, you don't need to wait for your graduation. If you have an idea of ​​making a feature film, you can contact me at any time. You can cooperate or make it alone."
