Chapter Eighty-Four: For the Dolphins

"But then again, what are you doing in the United States?" Jessica is very puzzled, Li Jingming has just debuted here, and he has been accustomed to the title of newcomer king with amazing momentum, in her thoughts, this time should be a critical period to stabilize her popularity and participate in programs and activities to increase exposure, how can she put down her Korean career and go to the United States.

Li Jingming didn't want to talk too much about Jihua behind him with Jessica, so he just said perfunctorily: "It's a matter of work." ”

"Cut, of course I do." Jessica was a little dissatisfied with Li Jingming's official tone, what is the relationship between herself and Li Jingming, and what else is there to hide from herself. But the most important thing about being a woman is not to ask too much, so as to make a good impression on men, although Jessica remembers that it was written in the book, but she forgot that this and that trick were actually written in the same magazine......

"I guess you'll find out next month." Li Jingming still added, after all, Jessica is his friend who has a good impression. "Leave it a little mystery now."

"I really thought I was 'Li Mystery', so when will you come back?" Jessica actually hasn't seen Li Jingming for three days, but she thinks that if Li Jingming is in South Korea, it is nothing if she doesn't see him for three or two days because of a phone call, and now she knows that Li Jingming is in the United States, which is a completely different feeling.

"I'll be on the plane in a few hours, ten o'clock in the evening." Tomorrow is the Dragon Boat Festival, and Li Jingming must rush back to South Korea, so this time he did not refuse to take a private jet, which is a "Gulfstream" G550 plane provided by the Chicago consortium. Li Jingming is actually a very awkward character, and he is unwilling to admit that he belongs to the privileged class when he has no choice, but in fact he often uses the privileges of the privileged class to achieve his goals.

Li Jingming's lunar birthday is on Sunday, he ate a bowl of kelp soup at his grandfather's house in Suwon in the morning and went to catch a plane, he was in a hurry for things in the United States, so he didn't have a good birthday this time, of course, Li He is very satisfied, a good man should focus on his career. This Dragon Boat Festival, the family is ready to make up for Li Jingming's birthday, and Koreans have a variety of ways to calculate birthdays, so that Li Jingming doesn't know whether he is twenty-two or twenty-three years old according to Korean customs, but he is only twenty-one years old, which is unchanged.

Li Jingming and Jessica chatted for a few more words before hanging up the phone, and before he knew it, Li Jingming was used to having a tsundere guy in his life, and from time to time he called at him in a crisp voice: "Ah! And habit is a very powerful kind of liliang. Li Jingming, who walked back to the party venue with a smile, chatted with the staff one by one, trying to care about everyone, this is the basic skill left in the previous life, although it has not been used for a long time, but the foundation is still there, and no one will feel that they have been left out in the cold.

"Brother, someone came to say that there was business to talk to you." An Hanjin answered a phone call and found Li Jingming, who was laughing with the two lighting engineers, "It's business here." ”

This is naturally Guangguo Pictures, An Hanjin was also surprised when he first received the call, this Guangguo Pictures just held its first press conference at noon, and business came to the door? When the other party identified himself, he reported home, and the other party was a photographer of "National Geographic" (National Geographic Channel), and also reported his union registration number to An Hanjin. An Hanjin didn't really check it, and the other party could report his work number, and there would be basically no fake, even if it was fake, it must have been arranged.

National Geographic Channel is a giant in the documentary industry, has won a full 129 Emmy Awards, covers 171 countries, has 440 million TV audiences, and has seven sub-channels. However, Li Jingming still has to see the business door, although it is not a project within his jihua, but if there is a benefit, it will be pushed off if it is not good, and Guangguo Pictures will never lose.

"Hello, my guest, I haven't been introduced yet, I'm the equity representative of this film company, Jamie Lee, you can call me Jamie." Li Jingming stepped forward to shake hands with the gray-haired man, this is the small living room of Guangguo Pictures, not big, but very tasteful, all of which were designed by Li Jingming's father, Li Xuan.

"I knew you were the one to be in charge here, and I heard that sentence from you this morning, it was very exciting, and it was time to regain that adventurous spirit." This man smiled very cheerfully, he stayed in the hotel where Li Jingming opened the press conference, and he happened to pass by in the morning and went in to take a look, when Li Jingming was talking harshly to a group of reporters, and this was also the opportunity for him to find Guangguo Pictures.

"By the way, this is my business card, I think it would be better for you to confirm it first." The other party handed over the business card, and Li Jingming took it respectfully, after all, it was the elder, Louis Sihoyos, which was the name of this man.

"I've been watching National Geographic since I was a kid, and it's an honor to meet you now." Li Jingming is not a lie, he really likes to watch this.

"Actually, I'm no longer working as a photographer for National Geographic, I have more important things to do." Louis Sihoyos said firmly, "There is a beautiful group of creatures waiting for us to rescue, but we are met with resistance. ”

"Tell me about it." Although Li Jingming is not an extreme environmentalist, he has always been very enthusiastic about public welfare, and he donates a lot of money to charity every year.

"We had Jihua make a documentary about dolphins and expose the slaughter of dolphins in Japan, but we met with a lot of resistance." "We wanted to have a studio to back us up and provide us with equipment, if we had investors." ”

After listening to it, Li Jingming suddenly realized that although he didn't remember this Louis Sihoyos, this documentary that was supposed to be filmed with him must be "Dolphin Bay". Li Jingming's heart was very excited, so excited that he lost his temper in such a cultivation skill, and Huo Di stood up. Li Jingming, who found that he was a little out of shape, immediately slapped the table, "I have long been very indignant at the shameful acts of the Japanese, and the bad acts such as whale poaching and ocean sewage are really despised. ”

Louis Sihoyos secretly said that in the morning Li Jingming said at the press conference that he was Korean, and the relationship between Koreans and Japanese is well known, "That's right, we need to show their shameful behavior to Jeon Shijie now." ”

"So you're making a request to our company in a private capacity? First of all, you can tell me what the resistance is, and I don't think it can be resolved. Li Jingming started to apply cheap techniques again, he was playing tricks on others.

"What we wanted to photograph was a small fishing port in Japan, first from the Japan Fisheries Association, who used public officials to drive us away for profit; The second is that the local residents are very unkind to us and prevent us from approaching; Third, many marine entertainment-themed venues began to resist our entry; Fourthly, due to the interference of the local government, we were unable to obtain permission to shoot, and Zuihou was short of funds and equipment. "Louis Sihoyos used to be a videographer, and Li Jingming, who has been an official and a businessman for more than 20 years, can't compare his scheming, and he honestly said it all.

Li Jingming pretended to groan, and began to think quickly in his heart, it was just for show, but when he arrived at Zuihou, he was really a little undecided, if this matter was operated well, it could save him three years, but once it was not handled well, it might leave hidden dangers.

"It's very difficult to do this, the other party's government intervention has a great impact on a regular film company like us, and there is only one entrance in Taiji Town, if you can't get close, what kind of shooting?" Li Jingming said with a frown.

"Do you know Taijicho?" Louis Sihoyos said in surprise, although it was not a secret, but Li Jingming had not been in contact with their members, how could he know about Taiji Town.

Li Jingming sweated profusely, and accidentally said that he leaked his mouth, but he could still come back: "You just said that it is a small fishing port in Japan, or a place where dolphins are slaughtered, I guessed that it is Taiji Town, I am also an environmentalist, and I was a member of an environmental monitoring team when I was at Harvard, so I have always been very concerned about this news." ”

There were too many private assemblies by Harvard students, and the group he had made up asked An Hanjin to go back to school and post a notice.

"That's great, you're still a student at Harvard." Louis Sihoyos is also a long-time admirer of Harvard.

"Can you tell me who you have on your team right now?" Li Jingming continued to talk about how to put forward conditions if he didn't figure out the way.

"Myself, a dolphin trainer who has been a dolphin trainer for decades, a former pirate navigator and two of my former camera assistants." Louis Sihoyos said.

Li Jingming was overjoyed when he heard this humble lineup, now he can install a lot of manpower and can occupy a larger share in this film, so he immediately made up his mind, "I won't tell you anything, I'm very rich, very rich." ”

"Uh-huh." Louis Sihoyos also saw how someone who could privately invest $10 million in an independent film could not have the money.

"But I don't have any more people at Guangguo Pictures to work on your film." Li Jingming stared at the other party's eyes, "Then tell me, when are you going to release this movie?" ”

"The sooner the better, those dolphins are probably dying in large numbers every minute." Louis Sihoyos said with a frown.

Li Jingming doesn't care if the other party is for the dolphin or for his own documentary, as long as the other party has demand, he has room to put forward conditions, "You see, such a film has no commercial interests at all, so I want to become the co-director of this film." ”

"This ......," Louis Sihoyos was clearly unwilling.

"Next month you'll get the staff, the equipment, the funding, and even the joints I can get through on the Japanese side. Of course, before that, I'll meet with your friends and understand their wishes before making Zuihou's conclusions. "Li Jingming, this is almost half a discount and half a threat. I could have done this documentary without you, but without me, you might have waited a year or two for this documentary to come up with it.

"For the cute dolphins." Li Jingming Zuihou added, this is Zuihou's blow, almost questioning Louis Sihoyos: If you don't agree, is it for fame and fortune to make this documentary?

"For the cute dolphins." Louis Sihoyos stretched out his hand and slapped Li Jingming and shook his hand together.
