China Entertainment started from art school

Chapter 159 Mao Xiaotong Becomes a Rich Man

There are many differences between "Interview with Yang Lan" and "A Date with Lu Yu". One very obvious difference is that the former has no live audience.

Therefore, at the beginning of the show, the host introduced Li Jingkun directly in front of the camera.

Moreover, in addition to the direct introduction of the characters by the host, some clips of Li Jingkun's movies were played later, plus the introduction of the narration.

Therefore, clips of several movies such as "Youth School" and "Introduction to Architecture" flashed one by one, and at the same time gave a brief explanation of his multiple identities, such as writer and singer.

But today he is not bringing any movie to promote, so the first focus is of course to clarify the previous rumors.

Yang Lan smiled and said, "So those rumors a while ago are all untrue?"

Li Jingkun said: "Of course, and many of them are quite outrageous. For example, my parents are rich and have a strong background, etc. In fact, let alone my parents, maybe my ancestors have been farmers for more than three or four generations.

Including my mother's natal side, they are basically ordinary farmers. "

"But many people say that you have many suites and a few shops in your hometown."

"There are two sets of commercial houses and two sets of shops in my hometown. This is indeed true, but I bought this after I made money. These can be found in the purchase records and documents, and my parents can't afford them at all. .

Not to mention that I can’t afford these, my family still owed a lot of foreign debts before I started writing novels. "

"How much do you owe?"

"Tens of thousands of yuan, it doesn't look like much now, in fact, we have not paid back the tens of thousands of yuan for several years. Because when I was young, my parents spent most of their time working in agriculture, and they didn't start to go there until I was in junior high school. Became a worker.

At this time, the income is slightly better, after all, the monthly income is 'stable'.So in addition to supporting the family every year, it is very difficult to save tens of thousands of dollars to pay off the debt..."

Yang Lan said: "But you seem to have been able to write novels to make money very early?"

Li Jingkun said: "It's not very early, it only started when I was in high school."

"That's pretty early."

"Yes, youth literature was very popular back then..."

"Haha, it's okay now, right?"

"Of course it's not as popular as before. It was almost the last glory when I was in high school, right?"

"Hahaha, yes, in fact, when Han Han and Guo Siwei first appeared, they were the most popular, and when you appeared, it can indeed be said to be the last glory-and then? Life is much better after writing novels, right? "

Li Jingkun said: "Of course, because the sales volume is still good, the royalty rate has been rising."

Yang Lan said: "But why did you choose to go to an art school and take the exam for directing? I heard that your cultural achievements are also very good?"

"Yes, I also worked hard since junior high school, and then I was admitted to the provincial key high school in our city in high school."

"Focus on the key points? That's really a good result!"

"Yes, I got in for free at that time. But I have many hobbies, such as table tennis, basketball, and fishing; many people also know that I started writing novels and playing in a band when I was in high school. I also started making short films at that time.”

"Did you direct short films in high school?"

"Yes, I made two short films when I was in high school. Not many people may have watched these two short films, but there are quite a few people who know about them among my fans."

"Is it also about youth?"

"Yes, the first short film was called "This Summer", but there were not many acting elements in it, and a lot of narration was used at that time..."

The purpose of coming to this interview program this time is very simple. Apart from responding to some controversies, it can also be regarded as a bright appearance, showing my face in front of ordinary people.

Based on his personality and way of speaking, it is easy for the audience to see his more down-to-earth personality traits, as well as his intelligence and intelligence.

And there is no need to answer all the questioned points one by one, just grab one or two points and focus on answering them.Otherwise, if someone randomly questions a question, you will rush to prove yourself, which is too cheap.

While appearing on this program, it also revealed a message: "Interview with Yang Lan" is a relatively tall talk show, and most of the interviewees are usually influential people at home and abroad.

And since they interviewed Li Jingkun this time, besides admitting that he is also an elite in the entertainment industry, it also proves that the previous rumors about Li Jingkun are all false!

Otherwise, how could this program interview him, or how could this program be released?
In addition to responding to the controversy and showing off, of course, you have to show your strength to the outside world, and show some plans and goals for the next year or two.

Yang Lan said: "Longqi Film and Television seems to have a lot of projects this year."

Li Jingkun said, "Yes."

"As far as I know, there are two projects of "The Year in a Hurry" and a TV series; two more projects were announced not long ago, one is "Our World" in cooperation with Bangziguo, and the other is the TV series "Hello, Old Times" "."

"Yes."

"But you didn't direct these yourself?"

"Yes, but most of them have a deep connection with me. For example, the TV series "The Year in a Hurry", I am the chief screenwriter and also the producer.

The director of the movie version is Zhang Yibo, he is an old director and a great director, we all believe in his ability, so we didn't get too involved in their creation.

But as everyone knows, we co-produced it, and the leading actor is Li Xian.

"Hello, Old Times" is an adaptation of a novel. I didn't get involved much in the script, and I'm also the producer of this TV series. "

"What about "Our World"? I think many people will be very curious about this project. After all, there seems to be not much information available."

"Yes, this is another story I wrote about a little girl. It's actually a bit similar to Hummingbird, but it focuses on a different theme."

"Is it an idea that came to mind when creating "Hummingbird"?"

"The same can be said, because the heroine of "Our World" is younger, a few years younger than the heroine of "Hummingbird."

"Can it be used as a prequel to Hummingbird?"

"It's kind of interesting, but in "Our World", the heroines finally got some redemption and comfort—their childhood was a little better than that of the heroine of "Hummingbird"."

After talking about "Our World", "The Year in a Hurry" and "Hello, Old Time" also mentioned a few words.

Several leading actors were also mentioned, Zhu Yilong, Gu Xiaona, Bai Jingting, Bu Guanjin and so on.Li Jingkun has too many identities, so there are many topics that can be discussed.

"But having said that, everyone should be most concerned and want to know about the new movie you directed, right?"

Li Jingkun said: "There must be a new movie, but it is not ready yet, so I don't want to announce it yet."

Wang Zhen said, "Can you tell me what the subject matter is?"

"Actually, I have several projects on hand, both comedies and literary films, but I'm not sure which one to shoot first."

"Wow, are there so many? It's a surprise."

"Normally, directors and actors are the same. If there are one or two works that do well, you don't have to worry about not having any works to shoot. Many people's shooting plans will be filmed a few years later."

"So now there are too many choices, don't you know which one to choose?"

"Haha, almost."

Then the topic became more relaxed, and the two also talked about singing on the road before.

Then I also talked about writing. Li Jingkun's last work was "The Emperor Ruzi", but it has been finished for a while. I don't know when he will start writing the next novel.

Li Jingkun said: "Whether it's music or novels, they may not be the focus of my attention at the moment. So novels may have to be suspended for a while, and most of the time will be devoted to the creation of movies and scripts in the future."

Wang Zhen said, "Ah, that's indeed a pity."

Li Jingkun said: "After all, time and energy are limited."

Finally, he revealed some future plans and preparations, etc. For example, he said that in the next one or two years, Longqi Film and Television will have at least three to four film projects and three to four TV drama projects every year.

Yang Lan said: "In other words, there are at least six plans every year?"

Li Jingkun nodded: "Yes, and these are already planned projects. If there are better projects in the middle, it is not ruled out that there will be more plans."

"The development of Longqi is really fast!"

"Actually, in my opinion, the pace is not too fast..."

This program is also divided into two episodes.

To be honest, the overall ratings of "Interview with Yang Lan" must be lower than that of "A Date with Lu Yu". Lu Yu interviewed a wider range of interviewees, and sometimes chose a lot of Internet celebrities who have just become popular.

However, Li Jingkun has appeared on "A Date with Lu Yu" before, and this time also needs the high-level nature of "Interview with Yang Lan", so it is good to record this program once or twice occasionally.

Besides, if necessary, he can continue to appear on more shows.Such as Xinlang Entertainment or Penguin Entertainment and so on.

After this issue of "Interview with Yang Lan" is released, of course it will have influence, but the effect will not appear immediately.Many things are imperceptible and cooperate with each other.

After all, he has a lot of movements, and it takes time to integrate with each other and create a chemical reaction.

·····
"Hey, what's going on?"

"It's okay, can I contact you?"

"Okay, but let me tell you first, the money from the box office has not been confiscated, and I may not be able to give you a dividend for the time being."

Mao Xiaotong called Li Jingkun that day.

Maybe this is also one of the effects after the show. At the beginning, many people contacted him to inquire about new projects and new plans.

However, Mao Xiaotong should be quite busy recently. He said before that he has taken on two TV series, and the filming should not be finished so soon.

And at this time, he also learned something, that is, out of the 1000 million that she lent him before, many of them were borrowed from her brokerage company...
But because Li Jingkun wants to give her dividends, and her previous actions, it seems that she has won the big prize. Not only has her coffee position increased, but there are still a lot of dividends to be taken later, so now she has really become a multi-millionaire ahead of schedule. up!

"Hahaha, it's like being crazy, and I didn't ask you for money—but to be honest, you really don't need to pay me dividends or anything, just give me the principal. It's not easy for you to make some money by making movies."
