Chapter 131: I really don't have any scandals
Li Jingkun said with a smile: "This is our international friend, the director of Goryeo, who is a companion with me, and he is also here to participate in the Modu International Film Festival today." The two girls were very surprised, so they went to take a closer look at Kimbella's appearance, and sure enough, the appearance was a bit of a stick country woman.
It's just that I didn't expect such a beautiful woman to turn out to be a director. When Kimbella saw them coming, she smiled and said in Mandarin, "Hello." He spoke Chinese, but the spoken language was indeed a little strange, so he believed Li Jingkun's words and said, "Hello." Then the two didn't bother much, and soon left with a smile.
"Jing Kun is very famous." Kimbella said with a smile.
"No, it's not common." Because he rarely participates in events, he will sign more at the film festival.
"Jing Kun also likes to perform, right? There's nothing wrong with you being an actor with your looks. ”
"Haha, you are the same, the first time we met, I thought you were an actress, but I didn't expect to be a director."
"Then it won't bother you today, will it? I heard the girl say the word 'dating.' ”
"No, although I'm also an actor, I'm not an idol, and my fans aren't interested in whether I have a date or whether I have a girlfriend, and it doesn't affect my acting career."
"Jing Kun is much better than idols." The word idol was passed down from their country, and of course she knew what it meant.
It's just that the status of most idols in their home country is actually quite low, and they may be higher than the status of comedy artists; And there is a lot of respect for screenwriters and directors, and their status is naturally much higher than that of idols.
So when I heard Li Jingkun compare himself with idols, Kimbella behaved a little
"Excited". The two talked a lot, mostly in English. Kimbella holds a master's degree in filmmaking from Columbia University in the United States, where she is both a screenwriter and a director.
Li Jingkun is also very interested in the film production in the United States, after all, he has always belonged to the top existence in the world, so he asked a lot of things in this regard.
In the end, Kimbella also said that she also found a feeling in "Hummingbird", and may write more stories about the growth of a girl.
"It might be different from your movie, and it will add my own experience to it."
"That's good, you can share it with me when it's written."
"Definitely, I'll show it to you then, and we can learn from each other." That night, there were more reports about "Hummingbird", after all, for the first time, it was revealed to a small number of people in China.
At present, there are a lot of compliments, one is that the quality is really good, and the other is that the crew has said hello.
Of course, there are also those who are not interested and disliked, after all, there are so many media from the film festival. However, there is another piece of news, which is more interesting than reporting "Hummingbird" itself, that is, someone photographed the director Li Jingkun going out on a date with a beautiful woman alone, and then took the name of "Hummingbird", and there was a lot of traffic for a while.
"Li Jingkun's secret beauty at the Magic Capital Film Festival!"
"A real love affair? The famous director Li Jingkun talks and laughs with strange beauties! "It's said that it's a strange beauty, and it's true that few people know the identity of Kimbella.
But in the screening room, in fact, many media reporters have inquired about her identity, so it is impossible to say that no one knows - maybe this scandal was broken by them.
and then deliberately said strange beauties, just to attract attention. However, Li Jingkun himself doesn't need any traffic, let alone this, so he quickly clarified the next day: "There are no scandals, her name is Kimbella, the screenwriter and director of Stick Country, and the inspiration for "Hummingbird" also came from her short film "Recorder Exam", so I went to buy the adaptation rights with her last year, so I met like this." Yesterday, "Hummingbird" was screened at the Modu International Film Festival, and she was also invited to come and watch it together - it's also strange, has anyone watched the scandal of one of my directors? He added the last sentence deliberately, in order to weaken this kind of thing and make everyone feel that it is not a big deal - to take a precautionary shot against what kind of relationship may really happen in the future.
But it's also possible that he doesn't need to fight, because he doesn't take the idol route. Even if there are some idols with the temperament on their bodies, even if they fall in love later, there should be no fans who will want to die······· Right?
In fact, the vast majority of domestic fans are more rational and have independent personalities. Their company did not shape and promote him in the direction of idols.
"Explanation is a cover-up, and a cover-up is a real thing."
"It's just, so much more to explain."
"Do you really think you're a simple director?"
"Hi Da Pu Ben! Li Jingkun actually had a scandal! ”
"It's really rare, it seems that I haven't seen any scandals about which girl he has had before."
"Maybe he doesn't need to help the movie stir up scandals, right?"
"Brother, you still admit it, if you don't admit it, I'll pass you out next time." Sure enough, his fans didn't show much excitement about his incident, and there was definitely ridicule, but it wasn't outrageous.
Li Jingkun watched the fan comments for more than half an hour and saw that the last one said
"Coming out", he replied to him: "I just saw you talking about it there." Then the fans must have exploded, and they all punched in and commented under this reply.
"Hahaha, I was directly rebuked by the blogger himself."
"Outside the nickname, Li Jingkun replied to the fans, saying that he did not come out!"
"Netizens around the neck broke the news that Li Jingkun came out, and he was angry and denied it!"
"Netizens around the neck broke the news shockingly, the cutting-edge director Li Jingkun turned out to be good?"
"Shocked! Li Jingkun just admitted this matter himself·······" Li Jingkun must have had photos of standing with girls or female artists before, but there are basically no photos of being with girls in private.
After all, it has only been a little more famous and more popular in the past two years. So he really doesn't have any scandals on him, but obviously there will be changes in the future.
After all, the popularity is getting higher and higher, and the media has also found that the traffic is not bad after reporting this kind of news. Therefore, it is estimated that it will continue to follow up later······ A few days later, the awards of the Asian unit were announced first, and Li Jingkun won it successfully
"Asian Newcomer Award - Best Director". "Hummingbird" successfully won the third stage of the award. Although it is not the main competition unit, it is also an international A-category award after all, and it is the third award for this film, so it is still quite media reported.
And as a fan of Li Jingkun, he is naturally the happiest group of people.
"Warmly congratulate the male singer Li Jingkun for winning the Best Director Award at the Asian Newcomer Award at the Magic International Film Festival.
“
"Congratulations to the male writer Li Jingkun for winning the Best Director Award at the Asian Newcomer Awards."
"Congratulations to actor Li Jingkun for winning the Best Director Award." Yes, I don't know if I thought Li Jingkun had won the best director of Ga Na or Oska.
Of course there will be cynicists, but those will be ignored.
"Congratulations, Best Director! I didn't expect it to be really got by you, it's amazing! "There are many people who send him messages to congratulate him, but Liu Tianxian definitely has to focus on replying.
"Thank you, it's just the Asian unit, and it's just a newcomer award."
"That's pretty powerful, and even if it is, not everyone can get it, right? Plus, this is the third time that "Hummingbird" has won the trophy! And, there's ······ behind"
"Haha, I'm quite surprised to get so many awards, maybe it's luck."
"Don't be too modest, luck may be a small part, but you still have to be able to keep up. So if you have a chance, you really want to think of me! Many people have talked to him about this kind of thing recently, including Da Mimi, and even some screenwriters and directors have chatted a few words, and Li Jingkun of course said it politely
"There is a chance by all means. However, for Liu Tianxian, he took the initiative to mention it at that time.
"Actually, I invited you once before, but you turned it down."
"I know, it's 'Introduction to Architecture, I've seen it, and I really like it! It's a shame I missed it. ”
"So your focus in the past few years is still in the circle of Hong Kong and Taiwan?"
"Sort of, in fact, there are fewer people looking for me in China, and even fewer are suitable for me."
"No, in recent years, the domestic film market has been getting better and better, and there are more and more movies that have been approved, so it shouldn't be difficult to find the right one for you."
"Don't you know? For some reason, there are fewer people looking for me in China·······" Liu Tianxian has actually not been particularly busy in the past two or three years, and there are at most one or two works to be released in a year, so recently, I have chatted with Li Jingkun a few times intermittently, but I have become more familiar.
So this time when we talked about this place, she also told him some things about herself. It turned out that in 07, "The King of Kung Fu", which gathered two major martial arts superstars, wanted to choose actresses, and the two main female roles were very competitive, including Lin Xinru, Li Binbin, Bai Ling, Fan Linfang and so on.
But in the end the heroine
The role of "Golden Swallow", under the strong recommendation of Zhongyi, chose Liu Tianxian to play it. At that time, Liu Tianxian was also in the middle of her career, and planned to slowly move from the small screen to the big screen, so Zhongyi chose her to participate in the heroine of "The King of Kung Fu", which was undoubtedly a big gift to her.
Of course, Zhongyi Company has its own reasons for doing this, and for this reason they also paid and lost something, in order to sign Liu Tianxian.
Who knew that after she finished filming "The King of Kung Fu", she turned around and signed with other companies······· Of course, later on
"Transgender" and
"Pregnancy" and other black materials, I don't know if someone manipulated them, but she basically can't get any good resources in several circles in China.
Even the resources of TV dramas have been greatly affected, and there have been some conflicts with the film and television companies she used to work with.
So the good TV series in the back are basically gone; So
It is uncertain whether the "ten-year covenant" has become yellow for this reason. In short, Li Jingkun, who is messy, doesn't know much about it.
"So even if there are resources from domestic companies in the future, don't you dare to take it easily, right? Afraid of being cheated or something?
“
"I also have concerns about this, plus I did sign several film contracts with Hong Kong and Taiwan at that time, and I don't want to be too tired. Of course, not knowing enough about you at the time was also one of the reasons. My mom and my team also said that I can't make mistakes easily for the time being, and if I lose my reputation, it will be difficult to take on other projects in the future. "In the movie that Liu Tianxian participated in, fans will say afterwards that she has poor vision and did not choose good resources and roles, but this can also be said to be an afterthought.
Because when the project was first announced, most of her fans were very happy, after all, it is also a big director and a big project, with big-name actors, no matter how you say it, it won't be much worse, right?
······ Many things in this world may surprise people when they first happen, but over time, they will be taken for granted.
For example, some feats of big shots, such as the occurrence of certain international events, and some scandals in the entertainment industry, etc.
After "Hummingbird" won three film festival awards, many people were surprised at first, but after a long time, most people took it for granted.
So the black fans are active again, saying that these are just some small awards, and they don't mean anything. Otherwise, why can't the Modu International Film Festival even enter the main competition unit?
Can't even go to the closing ceremony and award ceremony? However, some noisy voices don't need to be paid much attention to, Li Jingkun has a lot of things to do, how can he have the time and energy to care about these.
It's still the same old saying, just use the work to speak. His most recent works are "Hummingbird" and "Positive Physique".
The former has not yet reached the release time, but the latter is almost online. Since the sale of this short film to Yueshi, the website has started to promote it non-stop.
After all, any work needs to be warmed up, and the recent director and starring Li Jingkun also has a topic, and there are still many slogans and gimmicks that can be used for publicity.
The first selling point is that Li Jingkun directed and acted himself, which is rare. After all, in his previous works, he only made cameos or played supporting roles at most.
The second selling point is that this is Li Jingkun's graduation work in Jingying, and it has a good reputation among teachers and students in the school.
The third selling point, in the short film, Li Jingkun gave his first kiss on the screen, and the object was still Gu Xiaona······ Then there are many other hot spots to rub, such as the album "22" and the movie "Hummingbird", etc., it can be said that the publicity department of Yueshi is also working very coolly, because this advertisement is so easy to do, and the traffic and popularity are also quickly pulled.
"I believe many people know, my graduation work "Positive Physique" will premiere on Yueshi in three days, welcome everyone to correct homework online, this time I am the director and the starring role, the second male is our handsome guy @Sun Hao, and the heroine is our beautiful girl @Gu Xiaona." Li Jingkun, Gu Xiaona, Sun Hao and others naturally also cooperated with the publicity, in addition to going to Yueshi to record some promotional videos, they also posted some advertisements, tidbits and introductions around the neck, and then also replied and interacted with netizens.
"I knew it a while ago, I wrote, directed and acted by myself, and I was ready to watch it for a long time."
"A semi-autobiographical graduation short film, and the protagonist in it is also a student of the directing department of the film school!"
"I just want to know one thing, Yueshi said that this is the first on-screen kiss between Li Jingkun and Gu Xiaona, I want to know if it's true, or just a lie! The trailer was switched when the two were about to kiss! ”
"Hey, you've become the kind of person you hated before, you actually used your first kiss on the screen or something to promote, it's too despicable, and the object is still Gu Xiaona, I'm angry!"
"Li Jingkun finally attacked his own artists, hateful capitalist!"
"666, self-written, self-directed and self-acted, you can design the plot however you want, right?"
"Please remove the word 'bar'."
As Li Jingkun's junior sister to answer a wave, I saw it in the school's standard screening hall before, and it was screened as one of the excellent graduation works. To be fair, it's beautiful, and I personally love it! There is love and inspiration, Senior Brother Jingkun is really good to shoot youth films! Maintain his usual level! The teacher's evaluation is also very good, and Senior Brother Jingkun's acting skills are also passable. Of course, if it is semi-autobiographical, it is also a true acting, and the difficulty is not very high for him, not to mention that the directing department itself has to learn acting. ”
"Envy, I also want to be a director, or the owner of a film and television company, arrange the plot by myself, and choose the heroine by myself!" The preparatory work for "Chinatown Exploration" has also begun for a period of time, and during this time, Li Jingkun also has to fly to Siam from time to time, and the main tasks are: surveying the site and determining some locations for filming; Get in touch with the local authorities.
There are incentives for them to shoot movies here, such as rebates, or how much reward they have for hiring locals, etc.
In short, there must be a lot of miscellaneous things when making movies, and this is especially true for transnational films. In terms of actors, Bai Jingting is a newcomer and doesn't have much acting experience and experience, so the crew arranged a teacher for him early on to teach him acting.
And he mainly trains him in the role of the movie, so that he is familiar with the role in advance and the entire script in advance.
Several actors also met a few times in advance, such as when taking makeup photos, such as when the script was read, and so on.
It's kind of getting acquainted with each other in advance. Huang Baoqiang finished "Thai Embarrassment"; Huang Bo also asked him to bring a message, saying that he was indeed busy, the schedule was conflicting, and he would have the opportunity to cooperate again in the future.
In fact, I have met Huang Bo a few times at the film festival, although we don't talk much, but there is nothing disagreeable, let alone a brother.
Li Jingkun didn't say much, it's a normal thing. It is because Huang Baoqiang will come to participate in this movie that Huang Bo will just talk to him by the way, otherwise there is no need to mention this sentence more.
"There's 'suspense', there's action, and there's comedy."
"Yes, different scenes also require different color variations." The style of "Exploration of Chinatown" is different from the previous films, so the main creative staff has also changed, in addition to adding more martial arts instructors, the photographer has also re-invited a senior brother of Beijing Film, Du Jie.
His representative works include "Crazy Stone" and "Laughing Rivers and Lakes". It's not that Sun Ming can't do it, but every photographer also has his own style that he is good at and familiar with, and the lens language of pure urban youth films is still different from that of action comedies.
Including color changes, the sense of dislocation of lens scheduling and the sense of humorous situation, etc., so the changes that should be changed, and the changes that should be upgraded must also be upgraded.
Li Jingkun came to Siam to see the scene, and the photographer must have to come; After looking at the venue, Du Jie said: "I basically understand what you mean, tomorrow, tomorrow I will give you about three choices for each scene, and then you can see if it is right, if it is right, you will choose one of them." And when they were busy in Siam, a group of fans and viewers were like babies waiting to be fed, waiting in front of their computers or mobile phones, waiting for the short film to be released.
Li Jingkun's scarf also sent a scarf with a video link through the hands of the Longqi Film and Television Propaganda Department, so that many people could go to Yueshi.com to watch the short film.
Therefore, at this time, many people passed his link and clicked on the play button of "Positive Physique".
