Chapter 239

Brother Long said before that he wanted to collaborate on a movie. Li Jingkun thought that he could earn some tickets overseas now, so he also thought it might be a good idea to try to make a movie that is suitable for making money on a global scale.

Of course, a film of the type "The Tuner" is very suitable for global release and earns global box office.It's just that the actors in this movie are all Asian faces. Even if the quality and style are fine, it's still a bit difficult to get Brother Omi and Sister Omi to enter the movie theater because of this.

Therefore, although it has become Li Jingkun's highest-grossing movie overseas, it has not shown its true strength and power.

Now Big Brother Long is here. He is one of the few faces in Asia that can be accepted by audiences all over the world, so naturally we have to consider the global market, so naturally we have to grasp the subject matter——

In fact, it doesn’t matter if you don’t consider the global market, because Big Brother Long’s salary is so high, if you don’t sell it in more markets, you won’t be able to make much money.

The movie that Li Jingkun plans to prepare for Big Brother Long this time is called "Little People". The male protagonist used to be a senior agent, but now he is old and has retired and quit the world, so he stayed away from disputes very early, and he usually lives relatively well. Be honest.

One is tired of the previous days of fighting and killing, and wants to avoid getting involved in any disputes as much as possible; the other is afraid that once he solves some problems, he will become addicted again, or someone will find out who he used to be, and then You can't continue to "hide your name" any longer.

And the beginning of the story is that two thieves broke into his house, and he had a chance to subdue them, even his son tried to resist, only he became like a coward.

So in the end they grabbed the money and left.

After this incident, the actor became the laughing stock of the neighbors, the police also laughed at him as useless, his wife was even more disappointed with him, and even his son thought he was a wimp.

This of course made this talented man feel aggrieved.

Then on a bus, he experienced another nasty incident.

A group of drunks got on the bus and started harassing the passengers.In the end, I also fell in love with a single girl in the car, so I kept harassing her.

The other passengers on the bus dared not speak out, and many of them ran away one after another.

The male protagonist naturally also saw the girl's eyes asking for help, which made him feel compassionate, and at the same time, he also thought of the humiliation and ridicule he suffered recently, which was also brought about by this kind of bastard.

So after figuring it out, he drove everyone out of the car and prevented the driver from calling the police.In the end, he was the only one left on the bus to deal with these bastards alone.

In the end, he beat up all the punks severely!Let yourself feel refreshed again!
The process was not smooth, but in the end he defeated everyone and saved the girl.

But this is just the beginning, and he has already gotten into more troublesome things, because one of these gangsters is the younger brother of a local gangster...
······
Brother Li Jingkunlong briefly told the outline of the story, but of course he didn't go into so much detail. After all, many things have not yet been determined.The character backgrounds, including some of the characters, have not yet been populated.

"If this is the case, then the background of the story cannot be set in China."

"Yes, I haven't figured out whether it will be in Xiangjiang or Omi. If it is suitable, I will determine the background of the story, the background of the main characters, etc. after confirming the operation of this project."

Brother Long nodded, thinking seriously about the story Li Jingkun told him.

He has heard and seen so many scripts and briefs in his decades in the business that he can tell a good story from a bad one very quickly.

In fact, the story is very simple, it is the plot setting of pretending to be a pig and eating a tiger; let the protagonist with unique skills retreat into the world, but because of the disputes in the world, he has to go into battle again.During this process, the protagonist pretends to be aggressive and slaps his face all the way, and then fights monsters and upgrades all the way, and the sense of refreshment increases little by little!
So it's certainly an interesting story!

Moreover, he gave him this story in such a short period of time, so Brother Long couldn't help sighing:
"Akun, you are really talented! If this is the story you just conceived during this period, then you are really amazing! The story is very good. If you can shoot it completely, I believe The effect will not be too bad!
And you really took what your elder brother said to heart, and you are really preparing for this project seriously!I am very happy! "

Li Jingkun said: "Since my eldest brother thinks highly of me, of course I have to take it seriously."

"But from what you've said, and with my knowledge of this type of movies, it seems that the scale of this kind of movie won't be very large, right? It should be a medium-budget movie, right?"

"Yes, there are basically not many big scenes, but because this is a movie of purely personal heroism, it will greatly magnify the charm of personal characters. If it is done well enough, the male lead will be very attractive."

"Yes, I understand!"

Of course, Big Brother Long is very clear, after all, he has acted in many such movies himself, and has played many male protagonists of this type.That's why he realized Li Jingkun's intentions: it is indeed a movie and role tailored for him!
The character setting is also very attractive. This kind of identity background is also very popular with Omi. Brother Long often played such roles when he was young: very skilled policemen, secret agents, etc.

And he also understood other meanings in Li Jingkun's words: this is a medium-budget movie!

So will it conflict with his worth?

Brother Long's salary is very high, which is well known.After all, identity and influence are here, after all, market influence is here.

And not only does he have a high salary, but he usually also gets a share from the movie.Therefore, as long as there are films in which he is involved, there are very few low-to-medium-budget productions.Not to mention far away, the few movies he starred in in the past few years are almost all based on a production budget of [-] to [-] million yuan.

"Then have you estimated the approximate production cost of this movie?"

"Not yet. After all, the story has just been sketched out, and the script has not yet been formally finalized."

Still the same sentence, the leading role is not yet determined, nor is the location where the story will take place, so the more specific details are still uncertain.

The same goes for production costs, of course.

If the movie is going to be made and the leading actor is Brother Long, the production budget is one figure; if the leading actor is not Brother Long, the production budget is another figure.

Moreover, the subject matter limited it to be a mid- to low-cost film, but Li Jingkun was too embarrassed to bring it up by himself, otherwise it would be as if he wanted to take the initiative to suppress his brother's salary.

So he just started from the introduction of the story, let the big brother realize that this is a low-cost production, and let him raise this key point.

We are all smart people and can easily understand each other's meaning, and many things are really not suitable to be spoken so plainly - everyone wants face, let alone a person like Big Brother.

If you give him face, he may return you with even more face.

······
Brother Long secretly visited Longqi Film and Television, and met with the big boss of Longqi Film and Television, the domestic director Li Jingkun with 10 billion yuan. The photo was exposed, so it still caused a lot of heat and topics.

Because everyone will think of one thing: Is Big Brother Long going to cooperate with Li Jingkun in a new film?
Does Li Jingkun have plans for his next movie?

All this time, the status of the leading actor has been raised to another level. Is Li Jingkun going to cooperate with international actors to make a movie?
"I'm stunned! Not long after I finished watching "The Tuner", I saw such a news. I was very surprised! So is Director Li going to cooperate with our Brother Long in filming? So we are planning to cooperate in an action blockbuster ?"

"Real or fake? If it's true, you really have to look forward to it! I just don't know how many action scenes there are in this movie? Although "Detective Chinatown" and "The Tuner" have action scenes, The former is also a comedy action movie, but there are too few action parts in it. I hope that after cooperating with Brother Long, I can make a real action movie!

After watching "The Tuner", my expectations for Li Jingkun have really increased a lot! "

"Although I'm quite surprised by the news, isn't Li Jingkun a good match for Big Brother Long-style comedy action movies? I feel that Big Brother Long's personal style is too strong, and to be honest, his film works have been a bit stretched in recent years. ·····There are basically no surprise works..."

"Brother Long's situation in recent years is a bit similar to Omi's Nicholas Cage. The old movies are more classic, and the latest movies have a relatively average reputation and quality."

The matter of Brother Long’s meeting with Li Jingkun has attracted a lot of attention and discussion. Some people are surprised and some are worried; the surprise is because Brother Long is not only a big domestic star, but also a well-known film actor internationally, that is, an international superstar.

But there are also many people who are not optimistic. After all, in recent years, his works have indeed been very difficult to pass, such as "Zodiac" and "Police Story 2013", etc., and the latest "Heavenly Lion" also lost money.

However, what is different from ordinary netizens is that when colleagues see this news, in addition to discussing it, they will also launch their own network and intelligence network to see if they can participate in it—not to mention Brother Long this time. Participation, even if not, to be able to participate in Li Jingkun's new film is an overnight success.

"Are you going to make a movie with Brother Long?"

Outsiders were shocked by this incident, and the people around Li Jingkun were also surprised.

During the family dinner together, Mother Liu also asked Li Jingkun about it.

You must know that Liu Tianxian collaborated with Brother Long in the first movie in his life. At the beginning, "The King of Kung Fu" was also very popular, and the competition for the heroine was also very fierce; in the end, Liu Tianxian did get it, but the future troubles It was also buried at that time.

It's just that time has passed, and domestic big stars are appearing one by one. Although Big Brother Long and Li Lianjie are still international superstars, there are many actors who are more popular than them in China.

At the same time, Liu Tianxian doesn't seem to need to compete for such resources anymore, and even now actively rejects many such movie invitations...

Because she is no longer worried about not having good resources, because she already has the best resources now.

Even Big Brother Long brought this project up to her boyfriend on his own initiative.

"We should cooperate, but it has not been finalized yet, and more specific things are still being discussed." Li Jingkun said.

"What kind of story is it about? Or what subject matter?" Mother Liu said.

"Cooperating with Brother Long, of course it's an action movie."

"Is there anything suitable for Sissy? Do you want her to participate?" Although the movies she made in the past two years are still very good, it seems pretty good to be able to cooperate with Brother Long again... and This is still her boyfriend's work, so there should be no problem with the quality.

Li Jingkun glanced at Liu Tianxian, and found that she was also looking at him with wide-open eyes, as if she was indeed looking forward to it:

"This is a pure action movie, the protagonist is alone, and the other main supporting roles are villains. There is no heroine, and even if there are female characters, they are all minor supporting roles."

Liu Tianxian said, "Don't you even have a vase?"

"You also want the vase role? What vase role do you want to play now?" Li Jingkun tapped her on the head with his finger, "There is no vase role in it, it's just one person's cool film, the whole film has the most and the most scenes. The only one who is attractive is the male lead!"

"The main reason is that I also like action movies - I have practiced martial arts! The martial arts of martial arts!"

"Yes, I know, you can dance and martial arts! But don't you always say that action movies are hard and uncomfortable? Are you afraid of continuing to get hurt?"

"Following you in the past few years, I have been cultivating my body and mind for two or three years, and I feel that I can do it again! Hehe!"

"Hey you!"

The previous TV series produced by Longqi Film and Television have been launched one after another, and the most recent one is "Ode to Joy". "Wuxin Mage" will also be launched on Sohu.com later.

"That Year the Flower Blooms and the Moon Is Full" is still filming, and there is still some time before the production is complete.

The new project will naturally start filming, but Li Jingkun has less involvement.

However, "Ode to Joy" and "Wuxin Master" will be the key projects of Longqi Film and Television, and there will be sequels later.At the same time, the main characters in these two works are artists of Longqi Film and Television, so they are also relatively important works.

"Ode to Joy" will premiere on Zhejiang Jiang TV and Dong Fang TV this time, because the price and conditions they offer are the best, so of course we can try to cooperate with another platform.

Nowadays, the TV series of Longqi Film and Television is obvious to all, and the lineup of this TV series is also very good. The main actors are Liu Tao, Jiang Xin, Mao Xiaotong, Yang Zini, Chen Yao and so on.Therefore, the price offered by the TV station is very high, and the publicity and distribution work given by it is also very strong; therefore, after the broadcast started, it quickly got a very beautiful ratings record!

In recent years, leading actresses have been very popular, but "Ode to Joy" is not considered a leading heroine, and there are several heroines. If you only look at the theme and introduction, it is actually very difficult to have the potential to become popular.

In the original time and space, the performance of this drama was relatively poor at the beginning; but now it is different, this time it represents the appearance of the TV series of Longqi Film and Television, and the publicity work has been done well, so this time it was very popular from the beginning , There are plenty of heat and topics.

From the beginning of the broadcast, this drama quickly became the top three of Zhejiang Jiang Satellite TV and Dongfang Satellite TV; after a few days of airing, it quickly won the ratings champions of the first half of the year on their respective TV stations!
A week later, the TV series performed more stably, basically maintaining the top three ratings on the two broadcasting platforms, and Dongfang Satellite TV never left the top spot.

"It's surprisingly good! A TV series I like very much, a rare story about a few girls! Although life is messy, you still have to sing and make progress!"

"Conscience drama! I like it very much! The TV series produced by Longqi Film and Television are still consistent! The five girls in it have their own characteristics, and they can think of themselves in different periods! Real, not artificial!"

"A very meticulous and careful urban drama! The screenwriter and director have put their heart into it! The five girls are each cute in their own way. The biggest feeling is that the domestic class division is very serious, and people are more stingy with each other [qiān lìn] Be prepared, the living environment is harsh."

"After watching two or three episodes, I fell in love with it. It's pretty good! 5 women with different personalities, it must be a big show, Liu Tao is handsome and very enjoyable, Jiang Xin is charming and sexy, and the three little girls are pure and lovely. They are all hot and spicy. They each have their own personalities, but they are all kind-hearted women. I hope they will have a good development and a good home in the future!"
