Chapter 142: I Want to See the "Thigh Era"
Of course, women can bring self-confidence to men, which is beyond doubt. But many times it is often money that is more capable.
After the Mid-Autumn Festival, there are five blockbusters released in this year's National Day file, namely "Tai Chi 1: Start Again", "Bronze Bird Tower", "Dangerous Relationship", "Re-exposed" and "The Messenger of the Ring".
are all works in which big-name stars and directors participate, such as Zhang Ziyi, Liang Jiahui, Heavenly Court Banquet, Fa Ge, Fifth Elder Brother, Liu Tianxian and so on.
Therefore, everyone thinks that the competition and fighting will be very fierce, but in 7 days, the country only got 370 million movie box office!
Almost all of the works are very crotch-pulling, including the previously powerful and publicized "Tai Chi".
This also made the 2012 National Day file become
"The most tragic National Day file in history". However, a few days before the National Day began, Li Jingkun left China and went to the country to participate in the film festival.
On October 4, 2012, the Pushan International Film Festival opened, which attracted the attention of many countries and regions for a while, because the red carpet show was very lively and many stars came.
For domestic audiences, the opening ceremony of the film festival has four points of concern, the first is that Tang Wei attended the event as the host of the opening ceremony, and the second is that Li Jingkun's "Hummingbird" was also shortlisted for this film festival; the third is that the Hong Kong film "Cold War" was invited to be the opening film; The fourth is the red carpet show.
The red carpet show has to be seen every year, but because the girl group in Bangziguo has become more famous in recent years, many people are still looking forward to this red carpet show.
Of course, the result did not disappoint, there were many beautiful women, and many actresses were also bold in dressing, and Quan Huibin, Bae Suen and others were a little foul.
Rookie actress Suzy also attended the opening ceremony in an off-the-shoulder bandeau dress, but this style may not be suitable for her, because the whole person looks a little strong when the photo is taken.
In addition, the big beauties Han Jiaren and Park Shiyan also attended the event. "Hummingbird" began to be screened on the 5th, so Li Jingkun arrived in Bushan on the 3rd, and also participated in the red carpet on the 4th.
When you go out, it will of course be more cordial to see Chinese people, so Li Jingkun also met with Guo Tianwang, Liang Jiahui, Zhang Baizi, Tang Wei and other Chinese people and said hello.
Of course, he also watched "Cold War", which can be said to be one of the few very good Xiangjiang films in recent years; The audio-visual effect is very good, and the logic makes sense; It has both a Hollywood-style pattern and a unique taste of Hong Kong movies, which is worth watching.
Xiangjiang is just a city, but this film has an atmospheric feeling, which is quite rare.
Now that she has arrived in the country of sticks, Kimbella is definitely going to get in touch. It's just that he has been very busy these days, attending the opening ceremony on the 4th, "Hummingbird" to be screened on the 5th, and having to go back on the 6th.
And Kimbella is at least a four-hour drive from Seoul; I drove for 4 hours, just to see each other and then separate, which seems to be too deliberate and ambiguous······ Of course, it's faster to take a plane, but it's still the same sentence, he is going back on the 6th, and there is no need to meet in such a hurry, after all, he will come in a few days.
So after the two talked on the phone, they decided to meet again after the 13th.
"Or you can stay an extra day or two." Kimbella said.
"No, it just so happens that the movie over there is almost the last bit of post-production, so it's a little more reassuring to finish it all." Li Jingkun said.
"Well, okay then, then the film festival is over, things are done, and you can stay a few more days after the 13th, right?"
"Haha, yes, I haven't been here for a long time, and I haven't traveled for a long time to relax."
"Then it's settled, see you then."
"Okay." ······ In recent years, there have been a lot of cooperation between the Bangzi film industry and the domestic film industry, and the Pushan International Film Festival is also very face-saving for Chinese, often allowing Chinese films to be shortlisted and win awards.
Of course, it may also be related to the domestic market; At the same time, it is also an international film festival, so you can't all play your own games, right?
The domestic film market is getting bigger and bigger, and this is a scene that everyone can see, so Omi has to make money every year, and has always wanted to let the domestic market open up more import quotas to them.
Of course, the country of sticks also wants to come in and get a piece of the pie, or rather, everyone wants to go to places where they can make a lot of money. However, each country has its own film quota system, and China gives so many import quotas to Omi every year, so can't other countries keep increasing it, so will China's own films not develop?
Moreover, there are so many countries in the world, and it is the stick country that protects its domestic film industry the best, and the quota system is the most resolute.
The government of Bangzi Country stipulates that each cinema must show at least 6 Bangzi movies per year, and that only Bangzi movies can be shown for at least 90 days.
However, the number of days of the native protection quota often changes, sometimes it is 30 days, sometimes it becomes 121 days or 165 days, and it has been 146 days from 1986 to 2006, which is also quite frustrating.
Therefore, the fact that Bangziguo films can develop so strongly in a short period of time cannot be said to have nothing to do with this system.
However, to a certain extent, allowing works from other countries to enter the domestic market is also a stimulus to the film market of one's own country; Only by letting good works come in can domestic film and television companies take their works more seriously, and then produce more and better works; A virtuous circle is formed.
The emergence of co-productions can also have the same effect, one is that they can learn from the advanced filmmaking techniques of other countries, and the other is that they can make money here, and we can also enter their market.
Of course, there are many more benefits of co-productions, the most important of which is that they are not subject to import quotas, so in recent years,
"Huami Co-production",
"Huabang Co-production",
There are more and more "Sino-French co-productions". Not to mention anything else, there are several co-productions at this year's Pushan International Film Festival, such as "Dangerous Relationship", "League of Thieves" and so on.
"Congratulations to "Hummingbird" for winning the KNN Audience Award at this year's Pushan International Film Festival." On October 13, the closing ceremony of the Bushan International Film Festival began, and "Hummingbird" won the KNN Audience Award.
Then Li Jingkun came to the stage to accept the award.
"Thank you, thank you very much to everyone who likes this movie, and thank you very much for the recognition of the organizers. In fact, this work also has a relationship with Goryeo, I don't know if you have seen a short film, called "Recorder Exam", in fact, "Hummingbird" can be said to be an extension of this short film, I found inspiration in this short film, and then came here to get in touch with the director of the short film, and only after buying the adaptation rights did I shoot this story. Now I have become very good friends with this director, Ms. Kimbella, she is a very talented director, and I hope that one day she will stand here with her, meet and get to know everyone, thank you. Li Jingkun said a large part of the first paragraph in Chinese, and after the last short paragraph, he specially learned stick language, one was to thank all those who voted for him, and the other was to surprise Kimbella.
Yes, before Kimbella said that she was writing Chinese, then he learned a few stick words and paid tribute.
The news that "Hummingbird" won the film award soon spread in China, and there were many people discussing it for a while.
""Hummingbird" won the KNN Audience Award and became the only award-winning Chinese film at this year's Pushan Film Festival!"
""Hummingbird" is in the next city, and the pace of winning awards has not stopped!" In fact, except for the more lively one or two days ago, the attention of the closing ceremony has decreased a lot, and there are few big-name stars.
Not to mention the domestic side, even the stick country itself has paid a lot less attention to it. But Li Jingkun's fans still noticed the news, so they were very excited, and they discussed and left messages on the scarf.
"I'm going, hit again? This time it's the main competition, right? Is this the fourth or fifth award? ”
"Niu Pi, is 'Hummingbird' going to make history? Take so many international awards. ”
"If you continue to win it, it is possible to create a history of Chinese directors' works, but some works from other countries have more than a dozen. However, "Hummingbird" has been recognized by so many film festivals, which is already very good! ”······
"I didn't expect you to mention me without telling me beforehand."
"Haha, it's a surprise for you, let's say no surprise first." The next day, Li Jingkun left Bushan and flew to Seoul.
I've been shopping for two or three places for a while, and I've been eating at specialty restaurants for a few days, so I told Kimbella that I didn't need to come, and he just took a plane over there.
So on the night of the 14th, they appeared in a restaurant in Seoul, ready to eat Han Jeongseok.
Han Jeongseo is the kind of Korean banquet in "Dae Jang Geum", where dishes are placed on the table one after another, including white meat, grilled fish, pickled crab, cabbage, rice, and so on.
However, the amount of each serving is not too much. They ordered for two, and there wasn't much left after eating.
And the price is not expensive.
"Yes, I was pleasantly surprised. And you still spoke it in Korean. Kimbella said.
"Not very good, is it? I feel like the pace of speech is a little too slow. ”
"It's okay to be slow, it's familiar if you talk too much."
"There may not be so many opportunities to talk about it, after all, you can only win the Pushan Film Festival Grand Prize once a year at most."
"Poof." Kimbella couldn't help but laugh,
"Yes, it's a bit of a shame — but you can tell me about it later."
"So you speak Mandarin to me, and I speak Goryeo to you?"
"Isn't that good?" After chatting about the festival, Campbella asked about his travels.
Li Jingkun said: "Yes, I came here once a few years, in fact, several countries in Southeast Asia have been here, such as the book. Then I stayed in the United States for a month, and I also visited several countries in Europe, and Siam lived the longest because of work before. Kimbella said, "Then you have been to many places." ”
"Yes, the language can pass the test, otherwise you can't run so many places."
"Did they all go with their families?"
"No, I usually go by myself."
"But that's not right, you're so young, do you run so many places alone?"
"Yes, when I have time, I can walk around and see more, see different scenery, eat different food, and meet people in different regions, I feel very good. Of course, the premise is to keep yourself safe. Kimbella said with a little admiration: "Then you are very powerful, very bold, no wonder you can be so successful at such a young age now." Li Jingkun said: "No, it's all good luck." ”
"You've been to so many countries, so what do you say is your impression of our country?"
"Impressions?"
"Yes." Li Jingkun suddenly wanted to laugh a little: "Do you really want me to say it?" Kimbella was a little surprised: "Definitely, does it seem to have a bad impression?" ”
"No, maybe a little special."
"It's okay, you can say it, I'm looking forward to it."
"You know that in recent years, your country's film and television have developed very well, and movies and TV series are all famous, especially in Asia." Kimbella nodded, "Yes." ”
"And then there's the girl group."
"Yes."
“······” Kimbella looked at him strangely and said, "Go on, why don't you say it?" Li Jingkun said: "I'm done, there is still a girl group." Kimbella thought for a while, and suddenly understood what he meant, and couldn't help but be a little angry and funny: "So your impression of our country is that there are many beautiful women and many girl groups?" Li Jingkun said: "Not only me, but many young people in our country, in recent years, the deepest impression of your country is the girl group, to put it more finely, it is the 'thigh era'." ”
"Big, thigh age?" Li Jingkun smiled and nodded: "It is known as the No. 1 women's group in Asia, and the nickname 'Thigh Era' is still taken by netizens in your country." Of course, his original intention may have been to satirize something, but the achievement was too popular, so it was quite recognized. And isn't their record company itself trying to promote and show it like this? "Kimbella was a little speechless, but she had to admit that he had a point, after all
When the "thigh era" appeared, most of them had exposed thighs; And starting with them, other girl groups also took this route.
Therefore, their country will naturally give others the impression that there are many long-legged beauties in their country.
And the fame of the girl group not only allows these companies to make more money, but also prospers the country's tourism industry.
Many out-of-town tourists want to come here to see the beauties, and at the same time, they will also go to the door of the record company of the girl group to check in, hoping to meet one or two idols.
"I see, so Jing Kun likes it too, right?"
"That's a strange question."
"Huh?"
"I mean, is there any man who wouldn't like it?"
“······” Kimbella couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, and then said, "Well, I have to say you're right. But Jing Kun is so honest with me, is it because I don't have any charm to you at all? ”
"Poof." This time it was Li Jingkun's turn and he almost choked.
"Hahaha, it turns out that it feels good to be speechless." Kimbella smiled and handed him a tissue, her face flushing a little.
······
Yun'er in the "Thigh Era" is indeed very beautiful, and it can be said that in addition to Liu Tianxian, she is the second person who makes Li Jingkun feel so shocked.
It was also because of her face that she attracted a lot of attention in the early stage, and then everyone knew about this team.
In the end, I found that the other members were also very good and charming, so they slowly became popular. reputedly
The term "C-position" was also coined by Yuna; Because every event and MV, she has to stand in the most important position to attract the audience's attention.
Over time, the term spread in circles. Li Jingkun rarely came here, so Kimbella kept thinking about how to entertain him.
Now that this time I know that he likes it
"Thigh Era", I want to take him to see their concert or something, it's good. I didn't know that after checking it, I found that they didn't seem to be active in the country recently.
"It's a pity that Jingkun, I've checked it for you, your 'thigh era' hasn't returned recently, it seems that there have been more activities in Benzi Country recently, so you may not be able to see them in China at present."
“…… It doesn't have to be the 'thigh era', there are so many girl groups, isn't it. "Aren't Zheng Jingjing and Song Qian also here?
“……”
"And the actress is pretty good." Jun Ji Xian, Kim Tae-yan, and Son Ye-jin are also very fragrant!
“……”
"Haha, no kidding, I think it's good to have you to walk around with me." That night, the two of them found a random hotel in Seoul for a night.
Of course, the two lived separately. However, when a lonely man and a widow go out and spend the night together, it does feel a little ambiguous.
Kimbella's expression seems to be a little bit meaningful? Li Jingkun was not sure, and it was even a little strange, because he didn't know why their relationship suddenly turned sour?
Or is there no pure friendship between men and women at all? But nothing special happened that night, neither of them knocked on each other's doors, and they did not come out again for dinner until the next day.
Then use your phone to search for the guide at the restaurant to see where you want to play. But many places in big cities are similar, what are the things that are not available in Kyoto and Moto?
And he doesn't need to shop or anything, so he still focuses on finding food to find a place to eat.
"Actually, it's good to go abroad once in a while, and you don't have to cover too much, after all, not many people here know me."
"Not necessarily, I feel that there are many people in our country who know you, and many people on the Internet have discussed you and like your movies very much."
"At present, I am not so famous, after all, I am still mainly a director." After another big meal at noon, and after a long break and wandering, Campbella said that she would take her for a walk in the country.
"You're not going to sell me, are you?"
"Hahaha, no, it's a place where I often live, the view is good, I like it very much, and I may shoot there when I make movies in the future; I'd also like to take you to see it and give me some advice. "And then I stayed there that night, but this time I didn't seem to be able to divide two rooms; Because there's only one bed there, how are they going to sleep?
