Chapter 434: The painting is officially opened
"I've seen Juno, and it's a very good movie." Woody? Allen was brief, but the word "very good" was enough to satisfy Li Jingming, and he was confident that "Slumdog Millionaire" could be better than "Juno", and everything would be clear in a few minutes.
Li Jingming did not engage in global simultaneous releases, only the United States and South Korea opened at the same time, which is the result of negotiations, although he himself is full of confidence in "Slumdog Millionaire", but Twentieth Century Fox as the distributor has to be conservative. If the theaters in your hand are all open all at once, it will inevitably squeeze the broadcast time of other movies, and if the income is not good, you will lose money. It's summer, a critical period for all kinds of commercial blockbusters, and the end of risky practices is likely to be crushed into slag, which is not an acceptable outcome for companies that aim to make money.
Li Jingming sat in the dark screening room by himself, all the sounds fell silent, and even Jessica beside him seemed to be getting farther and farther away from him, and his eyes only lit up with a white light, which was the light on the screen.
The little boy climbed out of the black and dark incition, and a beautiful mysterious country unfolded in front of him like a picture scroll, the little boy put the candle on the rock, turned around and ran to the country of light and beauty, at that moment Li Jingming seemed to see himself. Li Jingming is not the little boy, he is the candle that has been extinguished but is still burning, and his mission is to bring all the boys in this world to the land of light and beauty.
The Land of Light, this line of words is only the second time it has appeared in front of people's eyes, but Li Jingming feels that he will make this line more than Warner's WB, more than searchlights, and more than MGM's lion become a classic in the hearts of fans.
Although Li Jingming has seen it many times in the company's screening room, it is a different feeling to sit in a real movie theater and face the big screen.
This is a story about love, but also a story about life, in which Li Jingming added all the insights of his two lives. The actors are just tools in his hands, and he himself is the one who tells the story.
"What are we going to do to get out?"
"Love!"
Many people feel that this is the gap between movies and reality, and this is indeed the gap between movies and reality, but if you want to ask Li Jingming, his answer will not be different. This world is the truth of loving and being loved, and if you peel away all the surface and face the essence, it is love. All things, life itself, money, humanity. Culture, customs, philosophies...... All kinds of messy things that don't seem to be related at all, as long as they can be traced back to the source, they are all love, but the subject and object are different, this is something that people have ignored, Li Jingming wants to help everyone find it back, it is love.
Li Jingming is watching a movie. He was also watching a world of the world, when everything was calm again, and he was still a little distracted when the staff list was scrolling on the screen, and it was Jessica who quietly touched him before he came back to his senses. Li Jingming stood up. The stars and fans who turned around to cheer on each other raised their hands and began to applaud, looking at the expressions of those people, he already knew that he had succeeded.
"It's a romantic, fairytale-like film. A film of epic format and humanistic care. ”
"Serious romance erupts with the power of the narrative."
"It's an exciting love fantasy, a story of love that lasts until death."
Celebrations are a must, but it's clearly not the time to celebrate. The final result of the film has not yet been determined, and Li Jingming can't let people say that he is too frivolous, so he won't start celebrating so early and just treat him to a small meal. After thanking the people who came to cheer, he asked An Hanjin to do a good job of public relations activities, trying to get those film critics to say more good things, and finally went to meet the fifty lucky fans and interacted with them a little, until midnight, and when he returned to Beverly Hills, it was already the middle of the night.
"Why haven't you slept yet?" When Li Jingming came back, he found that the light in the living room was still on, and Jessica was lying on the sofa reading a magazine.
"I can't sleep, OPPA, that's the movie you made? Dafa, almost like a Hollywood blockbuster. Jessica is still very excited, everything about Li Jingming is hers, so she is happy with Li Jingming's happiness, sad with Li Jingming's sadness, and naturally proud of Li Jingming's pride. Jessica called Jung's mom as soon as she came back, then Krystal, then Tiffany, and Park Min Young, Goo Ha Ra, and so on, and she wanted to call everyone she knew and tell them how good Lee Kyung-myung's movie was. Because of the time difference, the Korean side said that it would be a few hours later if it was released simultaneously, and it was impossible for people to watch movies early in the morning, so Jessica's big phone was equivalent to "Morningcall", which woke up several people, and she calmed down after being complained about a few times.
Li Jingming pulled out a bottle of champagne from the wine cabinet, then took out two frozen hoarfrost glasses from the refrigerator, poured two glasses of champagne and handed a glass to Jessica, which he prepared before going out today, "Are you a fool, this is a Hollywood movie, you think I'm going to make a bad movie?" ”
Jessica actually doesn't like to watch movies, she thinks the atmosphere in the movie theater is too depressing, but she can't stand that two of her three sisters who are the most painful in her girlhood like to watch movies, Choi so-young and Lim Yoon-a are both movie fans, and her best friend Tiffany is also very concerned about acting, so she has accompanied her teammates to the movie theater many times. Even if Koreans can find all kinds of reasons, but Korean movies are far inferior to Hollywood movies from any point of view, you can see the gap as long as you watch it for a few minutes, Jessica is very excited to see a tall movie today, in her opinion, Lee Kyung-myung is not worse than those first-class directors.
Jessica doesn't have any professional knowledge, and she is not a literary young woman, she thinks the movie is very good but can't say anything, it's just a simple feeling, but that's enough, she can feel that Li Jingming is in a good mood, which means that Li Jingming herself is very satisfied with this movie. Jessica's idea is very simple, as long as Li Jingming is happy, she will be happy no matter what, she took the wine glass handed by Li Jingming and touched it with Li Jingming heartily, and then drank it all, "OPPA, congratulations, you will soon become a big Hollywood director." ”
"I'm drunk after just a little drink, and I'm too far behind those people." Li Jingming smiled and rubbed Jessica's hair, there are many directors in Hollywood, but there are not many people who can be called big directors, each of them is a reputation accumulated with many excellent movies, only one or two directors of good movies can't be compared with these people, many directors who have won Oscars have not been able to achieve the achievement of "big director" in their lifetime. Li Jingming's ability in directing is from the University of Southern California this year, at best, he is a senior apprentice, but because he stands on the shoulders of his predecessors, he seems high, if it is not too urgent, Li Jingming feels that he should study for another two years before becoming a teacher.
Jessica doesn't care about those, no matter what others think or say, she thinks Li Jingming is the best, she watched today's movie very seriously, and she also worked hard to find out the information conveyed in the movie, which is a positive force, which makes her see a ray of light in Li Jingming's heart. Jessica and Li Jingming have been together for a year, Li Jingming has always been a sunny big boy image outside, and sometimes he is a little naughty, but Jessica knows how deep Li Jingming is in private. Jessica has paid attention to it, Li Jingming is always very warm and considerate when she is facing her, she loves to joke and make trouble with her, but as long as she turns around, she will keep a straight face, and the cold on her face makes her a little afraid. Jessica never cares about Li Jingming's things, and she doesn't want to care, she is afraid that she understands Li Jingming completely, and she is afraid that Li Jingming is different from the Li Jingming she knows, she is actually very confident in Li Jingming, but this movie made Jessica more confident in Li Jingming, although Li Jingming is sometimes too cruel to others, but that heart is towards the light.
"Are you really drunk, why do you start sitting in a daze?" Seeing that Jessica didn't react for a long time, Li Jingming stretched out his hand and shook it in front of her eyes, Jessica's habit of liking to be in a daze and love to be empty has not been able to change, he is sometimes worried that Jessica will hit the wall when she walks, "If I'm really drunk, I'm going to be unkind." ”
"What, what's not welcome?" Jessica glanced up at Li Jingming, she just drank a little champagne, but her cheeks already had a layer of pink, which was more natural and better looking than blush, and her misty eyes were sparkling, which was completely a kind of red fruit temptation.
Li Jingming used actor-level acting skills to perform the actor's special expression "evil smile" on the spot, put the cup on the coffee table and then pulled the front of his shirt and tore it hard, his Hugoboss shirt immediately turned into two pieces of cloth, revealing his solid chest and abdominal muscles.
Although she has seen it many times, Jessica is still excited about Li Jingming's figure at a glance, and after the youthful energy of her girlhood, Jessica has also let go a lot, she can see that Li Jingming is so excited because she is in a good mood, so she is also willing to cooperate, "Don't do this, but when I finish this cup, I may get drunk." ”
Li Jingming watched Jessica slowly pick up the cup and take a sip slowly, and then licked her lips to make a seductive expression, and couldn't bear it at that time, she screamed and pounced, since he arrived in the United States, it has been several days since he arrived in the United States, and Jessica has sent people to the door, and it is not easy to send people to the door across half the world.
