Chapter 238 The Latest Action Movie

A few days later, the 68th Cana Film Festival came to a successful conclusion.Chinese director Jacques Odea won the Palme d'Or for "The Wandering Dipan"; Hungarian director Laszlo Gerais won the Jury Prize for his debut film "Son of Saul"; "Assassin Nie Yinniang" won the Best Director Award.

Jia Zhangke's "The Old Man in Mountains and Rivers" was unsuccessful and did not win an award in the main competition unit.

But in fact, he himself did not get nothing, because during the previous "Director's Fortnight", the organizer had already awarded him a Golden Horse Award; Genius" - so Chief Jia is still very happy here, and Gana still really loves him.

He is also the first Chinese director to receive this honor.

But even so, among the enthusiasm around the Gana Film Festival this time, the most dazzling and most discussed is Hou Xiaoxian and his "Assassin Nie Yinniang".

Yes, he also won the "Best Director Award" in the end, but to be honest, the quality of "Assassin Nie Yinniang" this time is actually very controversial.

In fact, many people think that it didn't reach this height, it was overhyped by the media and fans of the director!
The picture of the movie is indeed beautiful, and the costumes and props are also very beautiful, but the story is too weak, the theme is too simple, and the fighting scenes are a little childish...
Hou Xiaoxian is of course a very powerful and talented director, but the words of "Assassin Nie Yinniang" can't show the real ability of the director... In other words, he actually didn't perform well this time.

On the contrary, "The Old Man in Mountains and Rivers" and "Love Like a Bouquet", the overall evaluation and reputation are much better than "Assassin Nie Yinniang"!
It’s just that of these two works, one didn’t win an award, and the other didn’t even enter the main competition unit...so sometimes the taste and style of the film festival is quite fascinating, and it really meets the public’s eyes. A lot of difference.

Leaving aside "The Old Man in Mountains and Rivers", since the screening of "Love Like a Bouquet", many film critics have been released, and the score on Doubanjiang has directly soared to 8.9 points!Really scared a lot of people!
"The Tuner", which was just released a while ago, scored 8.6 points at the beginning, which is quite surprising. I didn't expect this youth literary film to reach another level.So many people say that this year may really be Li Jingkun's peak year!
Whether it is a commercial film or a literary film, it has reached the heyday of personal creation!

But of course, the movie hasn't been released yet, not many people have watched it, and there are still artificially controlled reviews in it, so it's still a bit early to directly blow it up.

It's just that most people's evaluations are very good, which is enough to explain some problems.

So Liu Tianxian herself is also very happy. She was a little disappointed that she failed to enter the main competition this time, but she didn't expect that the result now is better than the last movie, so she often can't help but come up with some evaluations to read. Listen to Li Jingkun—he was too embarrassed to say that some of the comments in it were bought by his company...

Of course, there is still a big difference between bought and sincerely given evaluations.

·····
"Akun, how is it? Do you have any ideas?"

A few days after Li Jingkun returned to China, Brother Long got in touch with him again.

According to the identity and status of the big brother now, being able to take the initiative to contact him, a junior, twice or three times, is quite a face for him.

He definitely has no objection to his elder brother, and he also admires his conduct.

I have watched countless of his movies since I was a child.

Of course, like all other stars, big and small, he cannot escape the situation of black spots and black spots.Over the years, he has been ridiculed and ridiculed a lot, such as being too flirtatious, for example, whichever advertisement he endorses will go out of business, etc.

But other than that, there was basically nothing wrong with anything particularly serious.

Some people commented on him like this: a person born with loyalty, filial piety, benevolence and righteousness;

He likes to tell others about his national feelings, and he often goes around blatantly telling how much he loves his country.

And such a person can not only get through in his own country, but also in some unfriendly countries and regions, many people especially like and admire him.

He is a person who can travel all over the world. He once said such a sentence: "It's really not me bragging. If you order a place in the world, I can call someone to take care of you immediately."

Li Jingkun remembers that in the original time and space, there was such a hot post on the homepage of the largest forum in the United States on the opening day of the Winter Olympics.The topic is:
"One of the best things about the Winter Olympics is that Brother Long is passing the torch!"

So it can be said that apart from being lustful, the eldest brother is basically superior.And the only lust, there is no incident of a particularly bad nature in it.

Judging from the comparison of various black materials in the entertainment industry, the eldest brother can be regarded as lustful and aboveboard.

So if there is really a suitable work for him, Li Jingkun plans to cooperate once to see it.

"Where is Big Brother now? How about we meet and talk?"

After having a general idea, Li Jingkun also decided to make a quick decision.

After all, quite a lot of people are staring at his new project now, and they have been a little free recently. Naturally, the next project has to be determined earlier--in fact, there were other plans and arrangements originally, but Brother Long is too busy. It's too late.And if you catch up with him, maybe you can indeed open up the global market.

And since we’re going to talk, of course it’s better to talk in person, because it’s not appropriate to talk about a lot of things on the phone—for example, if you want to hint at whether you can pay less, etc...

"I'm not in Kyoto right now, but it's okay. It's just a matter of flying for a few hours. I'll go over there to find you."

Brother Long is a big man, but anyone who comes into contact with him should know one thing, that is, he is actually a very simple and honest person; he himself was born as a small man, so he basically has no big airs towards others.

So the two agreed on a time to meet, and Li Jingkun was waiting for him in Kyoto.

······
Not long after, a big shot came to Longqi Film and Television.

When this character first appeared at the entrance of the company, the whole company was a sensation.

Although many of them have been in this circle for many years, they have seen many stars in the past few years, including big-name stars in their company, and even their own boss is the biggest superstar here.

But for Big Brother Long, he is still a little special.

Many people grew up watching his movies.

Therefore, many people still couldn't help but want to come and talk to him and take photos with him.

But at the beginning, only some high-level people dared to come over with a smile to have a look and chat, because not only the general manager, but also their boss Li Jingkun was with Brother Long...

Brother Long came with his bodyguards and assistants. Since he came up directly from the underground garage, he didn't cause any commotion down there.

Moreover, it was Li Jingkun, Zhou Deze and Sheng Yuan who went down to greet him in person, one because they respected him, and the other was afraid that he would cause other people to watch and disturb them.

However, after coming to Longqi Film and Television, Brother Long was also very curious about their new film and television company in recent years, so he asked if he could take a tour, and Li Jingkun and the others took him for a walk around the company.

In fact, there is no big difference between Longqi Film and Television and other film and television companies. Of course, the layout and decoration of the company are also very luxurious and high-end, but these are not the factors that make them so successful; There is nothing special about it.

So after they strolled around the two floors of the office building, there was nothing else to do except arouse the excited and surprised eyes of the employees.

It's just that some people in the company who are more outgoing and bold, relying on themselves as important ministers of the company, will take the initiative to say hello, and then ask if they can take a photo together.

Li Jingkun didn't mean to blame for this, as long as there were not so many people and the request was not so excessive.

So after strolling around for a while, Brother Long followed Li Jingkun to his office with a smile; his bodyguards and assistants did not follow, but rested in another lounge.

"Your company is really good. Everyone is very energetic and energetic. It is very different from many companies I have been to before! ——I feel that you really know everything, not only The movie is doing well, and the company is doing well. No wonder the company’s performance is so healthy and so good.”

I thought it was just a simple walk around, Brother Long probably wouldn't be able to see anything, but I didn't expect him to say such a sentence immediately after he sat down on the sofa.

"Is it okay? I don't think there's anything special about it—if it's really good, it's because our general manager and deputy general manager are running well, and now we let them handle most of the work. "

"Of course they also have their credit and contribution, but many times a company's chairman, a company's No. 1 is still very important, and has a great impact on the mental outlook of the entire company!"

"Yes, that's for sure." Li Jingkun nodded.

"So do you have any business secrets or something? I want to learn too."

What Brother Long said was very serious, so Li Jingkun also thought about it seriously, and then quickly gave his answer:
"Maybe I try my best to make money for every movie, and then I try to give them more money?"

"..."

Li Jingkun spoke so honestly and straightforwardly that even Big Brother Long was surprised:

"································································································································································································································… You make a movie that makes money, and then you are willing to give money—it is really important to be willing to give money. After all, employees can really get more money, so they will naturally work hard to do better, and then work harder I want to continue working in this company.”

Li Jingkun agrees with his words: "Yes, that's the way it is. Let's treat others as such. I think so, so others naturally hope so too. But what you said, you must know how to employ people, formulate correct strategies, and formulate well. The reason why the company wants to go is actually very important.”

"Yes, of course many elements are required to run a company well."

Brother Long came here to talk about film projects with Li Jingkun, but he didn't expect that the conversation started with "how to run a film and television company well".

But in fact, it is not too abrupt and inconsistent, because many big stars, many people who have been famous for many years, if they want to make more money, they will naturally want to be their own bosses and run one or two companies by themselves.

Everyone is the same.For example, Hua Ge also has his own film company?And I also like doing business and investing, but I heard that I often lose money...
Brother Long naturally also has his own company, and his company opened many years earlier than Longqi Film and Television - when he was working hard in the film and television industry, Li Jingkun was still playing with mud...
After these off-topic chats, we soon talked about the movie project.

……

Brother Long asked him if he had any ideas.

Now that Li Jingkun asked him to meet, he must have made up his mind, otherwise what would we talk about.But he didn't ask what the project was, he just said he had any ideas.

Li Jingkun said that after his elder brother said that he had the opportunity to cooperate, he really thought about it seriously, and now he does have a preliminary idea.I just don't know if the eldest brother will like it.

"What do you think."

"It's definitely going to be an action movie, but it's completely different from Big Brother's previous action comedy. I hope the action part will be realistic."

"That's no problem. I don't completely make comedies and action movies now. As long as the movies are good enough, I can do any style—you go on."

"I wonder if my brother has watched movies like "John Wick" or "Taken"?"

"Of course I've seen it, it's a great action movie—so you mean this style of action?"

Li Jingkun nodded: "Not only is this action style, but my idea is also set according to this kind of story; that is to say, my plan is that we can make a movie similar to 'retired agent goes to revenge'."

Brother Long thought for a while and said: "It's not a bad idea, and it also suits my personal identity and style. Moreover, movies with this theme have been very popular in recent years. But will it be said that it is a cliché, too? Old fashioned?"

Li Jingkun said: "As long as the movie is well-made, you are not afraid of being judged like this. Besides, aren't all the themes of movies nowadays have been told repeatedly? As long as the story is good, the mode is not important. The story template is all in all. So many kinds."

"Tell me more about it."
