In April, "Suddenly This Summer" will be launched, and the makeup photos of several leading actors have been confirmed recently, so several actors have come to the company one after another.

The actor of "Suddenly This Summer" found Zhu Yinlong. Li Jingkun, the senior brother of the 06-level performance department of Jingying.

It has been two or three years since Zhu Yinlong debuted, but he has a lot of works and titles, but he has starred in a series of digital movies in costumes; And it's basically not the protagonist.

This time, he was able to sign a contract with Longqi Film and Television and play the leading role in a TV series, which was also a big breakthrough and surprise for him.

So I signed a contract with them very quickly. Other actors include Cai Wenwen, Sun Hao and Xu Xiaolu, etc.

"You're going to enjoy it." After taking makeup photos that day, Mao Xiaotong did not leave immediately, but went to the chairman's office to be a guest.

After moving to the new company, this was the first time Mao Xiaotong came to the door, so he was still a little curious. The chairman's office is luxurious, with bookshelves, plush sofas, desks and chairs as standard, but now you can also find a custom-made wardrobe and a luxurious massage chair.

"What brand? How much is it? It feels good to the touch. ”

"I don't know much about a foreign brand, but it was introduced by others, more than 30,000. You can give it a try. Mao Xiaotong was wearing a white dress, and her skin was a little shiny.

It's not that she hasn't seen a massage chair before, but when she came to Li Jingkun's place, she seemed very relaxed, so she really sat on it naturally.

"It's not bad, it's comfortable."

"I just bought it, and I haven't used it a few times. You give it a try. ”

"I haven't experienced it in a long time, and I've been really tired lately." Mao Xiaotong sat on the massage chair, turned on the switch, selected a mode, and then the chair began to move.

I saw that the massage chair fixed her hands and feet, and then lifted her up, so that she lay flat on the chair, and then her whole body began to move.

At first, she couldn't help but laugh, and then suddenly felt a little wrong, because her current posture seemed a little indecent······ Li Jingkun is still in the room.

"Ah, a bit of a miscalculation! Don't look at it! Hahaha. Mao Xiaotong said.

"You're testing my concentration······"

"Ahh Don't look at me! I'm going to press it's over! ”

"Hahaha, just kidding, you have a good time, I don't look at you anymore." Li Jingkun had no choice but to retract his gaze and make tea alone.

However, Mao Xiaotong didn't play for long, she quickly stopped the machine, then tidied herself up, put on her shoes again and walked over.

"I almost think you're home."

"That's good, I often come to play when I have time."

"I'm afraid you're not that idle." Mao Xiaotong sat down on the sofa, and in a blink of an eye, she became a dignified and elegant lady.

"How do you feel, the costumes?"

"It's good, the styles are pretty good. Actually, our previous school uniforms weren't that good-looking. ”

"Now it's a TV series, and I must serve the TV series - have several other actors met, right? How does it feel? ”

"It's good, I'm basically born in a professional class, I feel better than me, and my personality is also very good." Mao Xiaotong's words are very real······ However, in many cases, good acting skills may not necessarily be the protagonist, and it also depends on your background, resources, appearance, connections, etc.

Mao Xiaotong's current acting skills are indeed not as good as in the next few years, and he is in the growth and learning period.

But because of the appropriate image and a good relationship with the director, she was able to get this role. Before, she was only a supporting role in "Introduction to Architecture", and she didn't have many scenes, so it wasn't a big problem.

But this time it's the heroine of the TV series, and she has to work harder and harder than before. The two chatted for a while about "Suddenly This Summer", and then she asked about "Eucalyptus Chinatown".

"How? Can I help you? ”

"No, not to that point."

"But how did I hear you're going to sell yourself?"

“······ It's not that exaggerated. ”

"If you want to sell yourself, remember to tell me, I'll bid too, hahaha." Li Jingkun gestured at her with a knife and threatened her.

"The Zhongyi brothers asked me to sign a five-year or three-film contract with them, which is impossible, and it's not that I can't make movies myself, nor is it to the point where I can't attract investment at all. I used to come over like this when I didn't have anything, and now that I have so many resources and friends, how can I sign myself to someone else. It's a big deal to make another youth film to earn tens of millions more. ”

"Wow, so confident, you dare to say that you can make so much money by making youth films?" Mao Xiaotong actually likes him so confidently, so far it seems that she is the only woman who has said that he is very handsome many times.

"At least the investment is relatively small, and the pressure to make money is still not great."

"Then why don't you make more youth films."

"What's the point of always repeating the same theme, you have to try more things in life."

"Hmm." Mao Xiaotong nodded,

"I mean really, if you really can't help it, just tell me and see if I can help a little bit, you know."

"Okay, I understand." Li Jingkun smiled and nodded. ······

"Cattle Pie! The second one! And one song is better than the other! I really want to say: who else? ”

"Cool to write your own story·······"

"I didn't read the lyrics, but the melody is so burning! It feels better than the previous one, I like it very much, keep going!

“

"No wonder Li Jingkun can do so many things so successfully, it turns out that he has so much blood in his heart······· The BGM is automatically playing in my head, and I can copy my homework a few more times by listening to this music! ”

"The best score of the last song "Fire" on the Billboard was 23rd, and this song has reached 20th place in the first week, Li Jingkun Niu Pi!"

"Li Jingkun seems to know a lot about Omi culture."

"It's okay, it's not a culture that is very difficult to understand, it's just some Western myths and stories, you can find it casually, besides, superhero movies have been so popular in recent years······"

"Listening to this song, it really feels like the stars are all over the body." The popularity of Li Jingkun's two songs has not decreased, and some netizens directly screenshotted some comments from foreign netizens, which also caused a new round of onlookers and heated discussions.

Then at this time, "Very Convergent" was released. The third song also met with everyone, and the evaluation was okay, although it was not comparable to the two English songs, but in the Cantonese songs of recent years, the quality was at least medium to high.

Album sales, Sheng Huaxin said that it was not bad, selling more than 10,000 copies in three days, which is already very good compared to many second-tier singers.

Li Jingkun doesn't have any idea about this, but it is understandable, after all, most people just listen to free songs on the Internet now, and there are still a minority of people who can pay for an album.

Therefore, it is a bit unrealistic to make money by selling albums, but with the money from selling CRBT, the income should be very good.

In fact, most singers can't make money by selling albums alone, and they just release songs just to continue to be famous and worked; Then after a commercial performance, the money earned is more than the money from selling albums.

If you have the conditions, you can also go to acting or variety shows, which are more and faster than selling albums. So there will be fewer and fewer good songs, and the same will be true for good singers.

Li Jingkun's two English singles have also been listed abroad, and the sales are not bad, so they should be able to make a lot of money.

However, Shenghuaxin's share is also a little higher, after all, it is completely up to them to promote, so it is understandable that they take a higher share.

"Help me send out all these albums, and how many copies each person wants to send are marked, don't make a mistake." In the office, Li Jingkun took a list to He Xuekai, these are the albums that he promised to send out; Of course, many of them don't take it for nothing, and they will also help themselves promote it online - although he doesn't care much about selling a little more, because he really doesn't make much.

Generally like their friends, such as

The people of the "Aurora Band", of course, just send them one. Like Han Han, Lin Xiaojie, Da Mimi, and Gao Meiyuan, they sent three of them.

Qin Junjie, Yang Zini, Qin Hao, Wan Qian and others also took one to them and listened to it.

"Dengdenden! Received Li Jingkun's latest music album "Very Convergent"! I have three Oh, and there are signed photos, I am very surprised, I like it very much, thank you Brother Li! Li Jingkun's netizen Da Mimi was very face-saving, and soon posted a gift on the scarf.

In the past few years, she still likes to post on her neck, and she also likes to post her mood, saying a lot of ambiguous things that will feel a little embarrassing when she looks back in a few years.

For example, there is a clear sky for me to confide in, please forgive me for not being able to speak. Another example: Hello, September.

Then the accompanying picture is a selfie of myself at a super close elevation angle.

"Wow, I'm so envious, I want it too, where can I buy it?"

"Excellence is there, and the order has been placed, it's not expensive, it's just a few dozen yuan."

"Yang Zini also sent a scarf over there, but she said why she only received one."

"Wow Kaka, is Li Jingkun's partiality so obvious? Yang Zini also posted a photo with him before. Could it be plastic friendship? ”

"Hahaha, maybe the senior sister is better than the junior sister, right?"

"What nonsense are you talking upstairs, how can they ······ But if it's me, I also like my sister more. ”

"Senior sister or something must be more sensible than junior sister."

"It's still a senior sister, gentle and considerate, mature and sophisticated."

"Please tell your story upstairs, I'm full of traffic."

"I laughed miserably, Lin Xiaojie also posted a picture, and he wrote: I'm sorry, I also received three." Lin Xiaojie also posted a scarf, and even posted a video the next day, in which he sang a song "Fire", which received a lot of forwards and likes.

Li Jingkun himself also forwarded it. But the good news in music can't solve the big problem of 120 million, and even with the addition of the income over there, it is far less than it is currently far behind.

And some fans and netizens also began to ask about the movie. After all, it's a bit strange that nothing new has been released for so long.

"Didn't you say that the young actor of "Chinatown Explorer" wants to audition, why hasn't it started yet? There was no notice either. ”

"Yes, it's a little strange, I said a few times before that I wanted to audition, and I also let people sign up, why haven't you notified the next step?"

"Well, insiders, I heard that the film investment has not been in place, and the investor feels that there is no hope of recovering the cost, so he doesn't dare to start for the time being.

“

"The project should be put on hold for now! I haven't found any actors yet! Except for the previously determined heroine Gao Meiyuan, none of the others have been decided! Many film and television companies originally planned to recommend actors, and they were ready to start their activities, but now they are all suspended! ”

"Yes, I also heard that the production cost is said to be 120 million, and several investment companies feel that it is too expensive, and it is difficult to return to the cost····· If the production budget is really 120 million, it will take at least about 360 million to pay back, and the domestic films that can get more than 360 million box office in the previous year······ It seems that there are only 3 of them. ”

"It can only be said that Li Jingkun is still too young, his qualifications are a little shallow, and he is afraid that he will not be able to grasp the investment too much."

"But to be honest, it is indeed a bit difficult to recover the cost of 360 million box office."

"Isn't it a bit too ambitious? It's a little too inflated, I think. ”

"Huh? So what about those of us who have signed up for the audition? You can't let us plane, can you? ”

"Naïve······ The funds are not in place yet, how can other things start? ”······· "Exploration of Chinatown" failed to pull down the investment, and the longer it dragged on, the more people knew.

After all, Li Jingkun announced the news on the scarf in a very high-profile manner before. When he was questioned about ghostwriting before, in order to fight back, he said that he wanted to release English songs, write new ones, and make the movie "Exploration of Chinatown", the other two have already been realized, and now the movie has not yet started.

And there is no follow-up to say that it is good to audition for the role, and someone will definitely ask. Fortunately, there is still good news coming, Yueshi has already negotiated that it will invest 30 million, in addition to a certain percentage of the share, the condition is that it will have at least one year of exclusive network broadcasting rights.

The exclusive right to broadcast on the Internet is not expensive, and it is not cheap to say that it is cheap. Some movies are expensive and can sell for hundreds of millions, and there are hundreds of thousands of cheap movies.

But "Exploration of Chinatown" has nothing now, and Yueshi now only asks for at least one year of exclusive online broadcasting rights, which is much better than the conditions on the side of the Zhongyi brothers, so of course I agreed.

Therefore, 120 million minus 30 million, there is still a gap of 90 million funds.

"How much money do we have at our disposal now?"

"At present, if we need money for "Suddenly This Summer", and leave some for the company's usual turnover, we will have at least more than 60 million funds to use." A company can have more than 60 million working capital to use, which is already a lot ahead of many companies, and most companies may not even be able to take out 20 million in a short time.

However, this is also because I just made a lot of money last year, and at the same time, there are not many projects this year. "Exploration of Chinatown" is his own project, and Li Jingkun himself plans to vote for some of it himself, but at present, it seems that he can't just vote for some.

"If we borrow money from the bank, how much can we borrow?" In the office, Zhou Deze and Sheng Yuan were a little surprised, what does Li Jingkun mean by this?

Want to take out your own loan to make a movie?

"Judging from our rate of return and profit last year, there should be no problem with borrowing 30 or 40 million." Zhou Deze said.

It is not a new thing for film and television companies to take out loans to make movies, or to take out loans for blockbuster movies to make films, and they have been around for a long time.

Not to mention recently, a few years ago, "Assembly" was able to borrow 50 million from the bank. Now that Longqi Film and Television is in its year, the good results of "Introduction to Architecture" are still vivid, so it should not be a big problem to take out a loan of 30 or 40 million.

"Then we will pay 60 million ourselves and borrow 30 million from the bank, isn't it just 90 million enough?" Paying 90 million to make a movie yourself?

Are you crazy or are we crazy? Zhou Deze and Sheng Yuan were shocked and quickly raised objections.

Zhou Deze said: "That's not how movies are made, and that's not how film and television companies operate. We are no longer the same small company as before, and "Detective Chinatown" is not the previous low-budget movie, which is too risky. Sheng Yuan said: "There's no need to be in such a hurry, isn't it possible to pull down the investment now?" It doesn't have to come to this point again. "Yueshi has promised to pay 30 million, and if you talk about a few more companies, there must be people who are willing to invest.

It's just that progress may be slower. Li Jingkun said: "In my vision, "Chinatown" will be released between December and February after the end of the year, so we need to complete the production of the film before January, so the ideal shooting time is from June to October. But I'm also in a hurry, and I have to join the group to shoot a TV series in April, which will take up at least two months, so I don't have so much time to waste. The audition has not yet begun. Zhou Deze said: "The audition can start around September, that is, after the filming of the TV series. Later on, you can also set aside time for the actors to prepare. Sheng Yuan said: "It is indeed too risky to pay 90 million to make a movie, and no one will do it." "In fact, there are people who do this, but there are only a few people in the world, such as Cameron, such as Wu Jing later.

Zhou Deze said: "Isn't this becoming gambling? If it fails, our company will be doomed. Li Jingkun said: "It's not that exaggerated······ I won't lose that much. ”

“·······” Zhou Deze and Sheng Yuan were speechless. Li Jingkun said: "There is not so much time to waste, time is money - it's great that I will make a few more youth films next year to return to blood, and we will not go bankrupt; And we still have a movie that hasn't been released yet. Zhou Deze and Sheng Yuan were relatively speechless, but what Li Jingkun said was not completely unreasonable.

He has always been very stable in doing things, and if he agrees to make youth films again, it seems that it is indeed not difficult to make money.

Besides, there is one more movie that has not yet been released. Although I don't know how much "Hummingbird" can earn, but with the name of the third part of Li Jingkun's youth trilogy, no matter how you say it, you can get back 30 or 40 million blood, right?

······ The news of Longqi Film and Television asking for a loan quickly spread because they were already in the process of getting moving, and many people were following their new projects, so it was quick to find out their latest moves.

Longqi Film and Television is in a very healthy financial situation, and it also had a big hit last year, so why is there a shortage of money, so why do you need a loan?
