Chapter 164: Movie Release (2-in-1)
The name is "Wake Up, Fall Asleep", which is the voice of the heroine Asako. She is a person who is very obsessed and very infatuated with someone once she falls in love with him. The person she fell in love with for the first time was called Mai, and Mai liked her too. The two quickly fall in love, but Mai is a strange person, he often runs outside alone, just leaves for no reason, and does not tell anyone where he is going, nor how long he will go. Someone who goes missing without saying a word! Sometimes away for a day or two, sometimes away for a week or two. The last time I left, I completely disappeared and didn't show up for years! A few years later, Asako left that city to work and live in another big city, and it happened that at this time, he met a person who looked very similar to Mai! In her seriousness, this person is almost exactly like Mai. Yes, the plot is the same as you guessed. This man has a crush on her, too! Then after a few entanglements, the two are still together! But something even more bloody came again, and two years later, the first man, Mai, appeared again, and soon appeared in front of the court······· Probably that's it, the rest of the content was forgotten! But Asako still likes Mai and sways between the two! I watched it a year ago, but it feels a little strange and a little top-notch! Hahaha! After reading this message, many people praised her, worked hard for her to popularize science, and typed so many words.
At the same time, he replied to her.
"Forehead, forehead, what a bloody plot!"
"Too bloody! So this is a literary film? Li Jingkun asked Liu Tianxian to cooperate in making a literary film? ”
"What a strange story, are you sure this is Li Jingkun's taste? Jing Kun: If you are kidnapped, please blink! ”
"It's also normal, after many directors succeed in commercial films, they always want to make a few literary films to prove their strength. And this is not the first time he has made a literary film, the first one is "Hummingbird", and it has also been announced that it will be released in the summer! "There are a variety of messages, and there are all kinds of things to say.
However, there are indeed many people who feel that dog blood. And some people dug up more news, such as the investor is Zhongyi, for example, the supporting role is Zhongyi's artists, and so on.
Li Jingkun will do publicity here, and Zhongyi will naturally release rumors, and they will also advertise their artists, after all, this is going to star in Director Li's new film, how many people have this opportunity.
However, the cooperation with Zhongyi has also been discussed by many people, and many people are very curious why Li Jingkun did this, after all, their recent lawsuit with Zhou Xingxing is well known; And because of this, Zhongyi's reputation has not been very good recently.
······ On the day Wen Muye signed the contract, Li Jingkun and Liu Tianxian's script discussion group ended early.
In other words, kick her away for the time being and go to accompany Wen Muye. That night, Li Jingkun called a number of senior leaders to accompany him and had dinner with him.
Wen Muye didn't feel anything for a while, thinking that it was the company culture, and that every newcomer had this process.
But the people in the company thought he was extraordinary, because other people didn't have such a high courtesy when they joined the company, including the director who signed the last contract - there were not so many people to accompany him at dinner at that time.
Wen Muye decided to direct "Get Out!" After "Tumor Jun", the number of films established and led by Longqi Film and Television this year has increased to two.
Preparations have also begun. And the production diary about the movie has also recorded some content, but it hasn't been released yet, and I'm going to do a few more issues and upload it one after another.
The distribution department also began to be established, and during this time a large number of recruits began. At the end of May, "Our World" was launched, and Li Jingkun went over there for a few days.
Then he didn't bother the director's work, and quickly returned to China. "Hummingbird" has also started large-scale publicity, but there should be no premiere, and I plan to start an early roadshow with Zhou Dongyu directly.
The roadshow will be held for 3 days before the release, and the roadshow will be planned for 12 days after the release. As soon as the roadshow ended, it was almost time for "Night and Day" to start.
Then at this time, Xiao Yang found him and said that he wanted to direct and act in a movie called "Old Boy Menglong Crossing the River".
Being a director has always been his pursuit, and making feature films that can be released in cinemas is also an extension of his own micro-film "Old Boy".
The two of them had talked about this matter before, so of course Li Jingkun supported him to apply for the project, and then asked for money and people.
Of course, in order to share the risk, several investors will also be brought in. Therefore, Longqi Film and Television has added another movie to the project this year!
······
"A little bookish, with a bit of literary temperament, quiet and gentle." On this day, Liu Tianxian came to Longqi Film and Television to arrange makeup photos.
At first, she changed into custom-made clothes, and then the stylist began to put her on makeup. After tinkering for more than half an hour, stylist Bai Xi asked Li Jingkun to come over and have a look.
Liu Tianxian was a tool man at this time, she sat quietly in front of the makeup mirror, waiting for others to scrutinize and evaluate.
Not only did the assistant come with her today, but Liu's mother also came. She was also standing behind her at this time.
"It's kind of too pretty." Bai Xi couldn't help laughing, thinking that Li Jingkun was joking or something, but seeing that he wasn't smiling, he said, "What do you think needs to be trimmed?" Clothes, hairstyles and so on. Li Jingkun said: "There is no need for clothes, most of the clothes of this character are beige, white or gray, so there is nothing wrong with the clothes - you change her hairstyle, get some bangs in the front, and don't leak too much forehead." Bai Xi said: "Okay, this is easy, then please wait a little longer." ”
"I'm in trouble." Li Jingkun and Liu's mother stepped back again and went to the next door to continue drinking tea. The styling of each movie character is very important, and what is shown and revealed is the character and identity of the character, so it is certain that it is cumbersome and troublesome.
Including his role, it was all decided after many revisions and discussions. He will play the two male protagonists in it, one is Mai and the other is Liangping.
These two characters have completely different personalities, so of course they have to be reflected in the styling and costumes. One of the most noticeable differences is that one of them has longer hair and the other has shorter hair.
At that time, I will also see whether it is better to wear a wig or hair extensions.
"Come, Auntie, drink tea."
"Thank you, you're welcome, we're here to work. You don't have to entertain me. ”
"It's my job to decide on the heroine's look today. Compared to the rest of the company, I'm still idle most of the time. ”
"Yes, the company is on the track, and the boss must be a little idle, so that he has time to think about the development path behind the company."
"Auntie is right, it seems that you also have a deep understanding of running a company."
"No, I also watched and learned from others." Li Jingkun and Liu's mother chatted while drinking tea.
He really didn't deliberately bother her, just normal communication with the elders. However, after standing on a high place for a long time, people can indeed learn and see many different things.
Mother Liu's intelligence and insight were indeed a bit unexpected to him. Actually, there's still something.
So the two had a good chat. After a while, he was called over. So the two of them continued back to the styling room.
"How?" Bai Xi said. Li Jingkun looked at the big and bright mirror directly opposite, and Liu Tianxian was sitting on the back chair inside; Also quietly watching him.
Today she wears a beige crewneck short-sleeved top, which is a simple T-shirt; The lower half of the body is a pair of blue jeans.
Li Jingkun first looked at her whole body, and then focused on her face. Of course, I can't avoid looking at her.
The long black hair was slightly over the shoulders, and the bangs on the eyebrows covered most of the forehead. The face is beautiful, the eyes are big and bright, and the appearance is indeed a little lower than just now.
Well, a little bit.
"The makeup on the face is a little more plain, a little more tangy, and not too radiant." Li Jingkun said.
"Plain?
“
"You try it." Bai Xi said: "But it can't be uglier this way."
Li Jingkun said: "I know, and it's not that I want to make a fool of myself." It's just that I hope she doesn't feel the way she used to. ”
"How did you feel before?" Liu Tianxian finally asked. Li Jingkun said: "Can you understand the feeling of 'heavenly immortals' in the past? It's about showing a different feeling, not the kind of fireworks that don't eat the world, or the feeling that is too amazing. Of course, it can be beautiful, how can the characters in the movie not be good-looking. But there must also be a degree. The feeling of your 'fairy' in the past was too impressive. So in this movie, I want to make you a feeling of being a little prettier than a normal girl, but not stealing the show. Bai Xi said: "Bookish, literary and artistic, plain and elegant." ”
"Yes, you can fix it again; And Tianxian - by the way, that, Xiaoling, you go and pour a glass of water for Tianxian and Bai Xi. Or do you want coffee? Liu Tianxian said: "Water is fine." Bai Xi said, "I don't need to, my water is here." At present, Bai Xi is the stylist of Longqi Film and Television, and one of the top talents in the industry in the future.
So she will be involved in many of the company's projects, so all the character modeling of "Night and Day" will also be handed over to her to handle - modern drama is just a piece of cake for her.
So after another ten minutes, Li Jingkun finally confirmed Liu Tianxian's appearance. Then after resting for more than half an hour, I began to take makeup photos.
······ "Hummingbird" is scheduled to be released on July 5, and works of the same period include "Blind Detective", "First Love Is Not Yet Full" and "Tai Chi Man".
"Little Times" was released on June 27 and has been the box office champion for a week.
Before the movie was released, Li Jingkun and Zhou Dongyu had already run a 3-day roadshow to do the final publicity before the release.
On July 4, "Blind Detective" won 14 million box office, beating "Little Times" and winning the single-day box office championship.
The next day, "Hummingbird" was released and won 23.5 million box office, snatching the box office champion from "Blind Detective".
On Saturday and Sunday, "Hummingbird" was still the box office champion of the day. But the overall box office is definitely not comparable to "Exploration of Chinatown".
The three-day box office of "Hummingbird" only slightly exceeded the one-day box office of "Chinatown"! So although quite a few media outlets have been issuing press releases to brag about it, there are also many people who say about him
"The regression is enormous". After all, although "Little Times" and "Blind Detective" are also good at the box office, they are not blockbusters, and they are definitely not as strong as Zhou Xingxing before.
And "Hummingbird", which has no blockbuster as a competitor, only got such a small box office? Li Jingkun's last work broke the box office of 1 billion!
As a result, this is not the most crotch-pulling, and after the box office on Monday and Tuesday came out one after another, it surprised many people!
There are only more than 10 million box office every day, which is more than any of his previous works! So at this time, all kinds of said him
"Jiang Lang is exhausted" and "Waterloo."
Reports began to pour out!
"Li Jingkun's new film is cold, and the box office is not up to expectations!"
"The word-of-mouth box office of "Hummingbird" is 'polarized', and it is difficult for Li Jingkun to create a myth!"
"Li Jingkun's new film Waterloo, the theater chain urgently lowered the film scheduling rate!"
""Hummingbird" lacks stamina and has a big decline, so Li Dao Jianglang wants to change careers?" What about Li Jingkun? Of course, I still participate in the roadshow activities normally!
If you follow the situation they really encountered, of course, the audience and fans are very enthusiastic, and every theater is full of people, and there are many fans who watch it for the second or third time!
But in fact, it is also true that the number of theaters across the country has declined. However, "Hummingbird" is a literary film no matter how much it is said, and the production cost is only how much!
If it weren't for the fact that there are many domestic theaters, if it weren't for the big noise between Li Jingkun and "Hummingbird" in the recent year, if it weren't for their roadshow, how could there be such a high box office now!
Now it's more than 100 million at the box office, and the box office is still poor? He didn't feel that the box office was bad at all, but he felt a little surprised!
Of course, investors and distributors such as Perfect Planet and Huaying must have been a little disappointed, and the box office definitely did not reach them
"Expected". I thought I couldn't get 1 billion box office, at least half of it, right? Otherwise, a third is acceptable.
I didn't know that this result was also unexpected - in fact, it was also Versailles, after all, they made money, and they didn't make a lot of money!
It's just that there are no big surprises. But please think about it, every movie you work with Li Jingkun makes money!
And "Hummingbird" is only a little over a thousand production costs, this rate of return is already very high, right?
Funnily enough, many of his best friends also called and messaged him to comfort him, fearing that he would be hit······ Well, I made hundreds of millions before, and now I only earn tens of millions, and I should really be sad and sad······ As for the Internet, Li Jingkun didn't bother to respond, many of them were just for traffic and eyeballs.
Of course, there are also many people who don't know why believe this set of arguments and think that he really can't do it. But he can bear it, and his fans can't.
Soon, some netizens posted a short article on the scarf to support him!
""Hummingbird" has been released for more than ten days, with a box office of more than 100 million, and with this result, many people say that Li Jingkun is 'Jiang Lang's talent' and 'Waterloo'? originally wanted to see how Li Jingkun responded, but he either posted photos of the roadshow, or complained that the fans made him sing again, and he didn't care about these things at all······· I guess I really didn't bother to respond! But he didn't respond, as a fan, I really didn't vomit and was unhappy! First, What type of movie is Hummingbird? tells the story of a junior high school girl, the various pressures and indifference she encountered at school and at home, it can be said that it was originally a literary film! A literary film, how much box office do you think it can get? Second, how much was the production cost of "Hummingbird"? 12 million! Mid-to-low budget movies! How much box office is there now? It's more than 100 million, how can you say that it's all earned? Is this called 'Waterloo'? I think this kind of 'Waterloo' is what many companies want to skate a few times a year, right? Third, "Hummingbird" has been nominated for 16 international film festivals around the world, and 11 of them have won awards. This is a good result that is rarely seen in movies all over the world! As a result, some people say that this is called 'Jiang Lang's talent'? Fourth, let's not forget that "Hummingbird" was filmed and produced before "Eucalyptus Chinatown", and the reason why it was released so late is because it has to travel to film festivals around the world······ To sum up, I really don't know how the views of 'Jiang Lang's talent' and 'Waterloo' in the mouths of major media friends and netizens came from. No matter how I look at it or think about it, I feel that Li Jingkun has won again, and it is a big win······" This one is called
The netizens of "Born to be Cute" wrote a lot of them freely, but the content was very simple and easy to understand, and what they said was also reasonable, so it was approved and recognized by many people!
