At the beginning of December, the movie "The Year in a Hurry" starring Li County and Nini was released. The box office was very eye-catching, with a box office of 190 million in the first week, firing the first shot of the Chinese New Year.

In the same period, "The Four Famous Catches 2" starring Liu Tianxian and others was also released, and the results were okay, with a score of 80 million in the first three days.

"Sweeping Drugs" and "No Man's Land", which were released for a few days, also followed. But the box office champion was still taken away by the small youth film "The Year in a Hurry".

Of course, Li Jingkun also did some propaganda on the scarf a few times, and then flew to the country of sticks. "Our World" was even done in the later stage a while ago, but because it has been busy before, I didn't pay much attention to it.

In fact, he also felt a little deliberate, after all, it was a work that was returned to her, and it was good for her to grasp it herself.

But this time it dragged on long enough, so I still found a time to come.

"It's good, it's good, and the actors are doing very well. Let a child be an actor or the protagonist, in fact, it is very tiring and difficult to operate, but I didn't expect you to do it, and the shooting is really good. ”

"No, it's also your own good creation, and I haven't changed much." Kimbella is still as gentle as ever, but her ability is still quite good.

The movie is really well done. Li Jingkun said: "Then do you have any plans for it now?" Campbella said: "I think it can be taken to the film festival first to win the awards, to see if it can get a few nominations or awards, which is also good for its later release." Li Jingkun nodded: "Actually, it's a bit difficult to get too much box office for this kind of theme, and it's not bad to take the film festival route first, and it will also be of great benefit to you." At the same time, it would be nice to be able to sell in a few more countries at the festival. ”

"yes, so you're not going to go along, are you?"

“······” Kimbella's observation is also quite powerful, after all, he hasn't been here for so long, even if he is busy making movies, he can contact him occasionally, right?

So she also has her own guesses. But these were originally what she had been mentally prepared for, weren't they? Not only is there a big age gap between the two, but they are also from different countries, which makes it difficult for them to have a long-term development, let alone that he is still such an excellent person.

And, all before

The "incident" was also provoked by her! She's mentally prepared for this, and she's going to do that too, isn't she?

"This is the script I wrote for it, but in fact, it was you who made it, and you were the last creator of it. Movies are the director's work after all, aren't they? I think you now have a much deeper understanding of the story than I do. Kimbella smiled and didn't answer, she didn't interrupt the question, but talked about something else.

Finally, she also talked about a girl group they talked about before, she said: "Now I know a few girls from the 'thigh era', and I have contact information for everyone, even their agent phone number." Li Jingkun said, "Really? How did you meet? ”

"I met them at an event, and I actually got to know them intentionally. After all, I always knew that Jingkun liked them, so I thought I could introduce them to you one day. ”

“······” Li Jingkun was a little speechless and a little surprised, I don't know what she wants to do.

"The girls are very cute, especially their façade and captain, they are very beautiful. By the way, they're also cute, and although they feel a little stubborn in some ways, they're also stubborn and cute - well, their legs are long and white, too! ”

“······”······ Two weeks after the release of "The Year in a Hurry", it once again won the box office champion of the week with a box office score of 200 million.

The total box office is also close to 400 million. However, although the box office is good, the reputation of the movie is relatively average. The production company of "The Year in a Hurry" is Longqi Film and Television and Pony Benz, and Li Jingkun is also one of the producers, so of course he was also scolded.

After all, many people also came because they heard the name of Longqi Film and Television, after all, many people also came to watch movies because of the high quality of the previous TV series.

However, there are also many people who complain about him, after all, the screenwriter of this work is not him, and the director is not him.

Besides, even if the film is led by him, it is difficult for anyone to guarantee that all his works are of good quality, right?

However, director Zhang Yibai and other main creators, in the eyes of producers, distributors and theaters, and in the eyes of capital, they must have succeeded.

After all, this movie is making a lot of money! In fact, this also has a lot to do with the market, the current film market is booming, and the audience is still relatively tolerant of many works; After a few years, the audience's viewing volume gradually increases, and their eyes become more critical, and it is difficult for this kind of work with more average quality to get a high box office.

In fact, at present, it is not only "The Year in a Hurry" that gets a high box office while being scolded, but the movie "Four Famous Catches 2" of the same period, its reputation and quality are even worse, but its box office is actually okay.

In any case, Longqi Film and Television is making a lot of money again this time!

"Hehe, it's no problem to buy two more villas." Facing Liu Tianxian, Li Jingkun still couldn't help but sigh.

Of course, Liu Tianxian was also very happy for him, so he couldn't help but take a bite in his face. Although she also has a lot of money and her earning power is okay, who doesn't want to see her other half also capable?

"What kind of gift do you like? Send you one - no, send you a few! "After dating for so long, I actually gave her some gifts one after another.

But I was busy before, so I didn't spend too much time and too much money on her. Recently, I've been a little more laid-back and made a lot of money, so I want to send more things to her.

Girls must have something to like, clothes, cosmetics, bags, necklaces or something, at least arrange a copy of each, right?

"So good to me? And buy so many things at once? ”

"I just happen to have it, and you just like it, so I want to give you more and better things." Liu Tianxian was quite moved, so of course the two were hugging each other and sitting on the soft sofa at this time - it was still in the honeymoon period, so it was normal to always want to be tired of being together.

"But you're giving me so many things now, aren't you afraid you'll have to send more when there are festivals in the future?"

"It's okay, won't I be richer then? And I've given you the whole thing, what else can't I give you? ”

"Poof, shameless—I gave it to you with my whole body, right?"

"I'll fill the cloakroom for you when I think about it." The villa is not only preparing a pool and dance studio for her, but also a cloakroom for the future hostess, of course, ready to be more spacious and beautiful.

"I don't live here······"

"That's why I'm going to help you create a very rich and beautiful cloakroom, so that you have always been attracted to it, don't you always want to come and live? And my dance studio is also beautiful, and the private cinema and karaoke system are also luxuriously decorated, so I'll see if you can resist the temptation! ”

"Hahaha - you're so bad!" Li Jingkun told her his thoughts clearly, but it made her think that he was very cute and honest, so she couldn't help but hold his face and take a few bites.

······ In December the villa continued to be remodeled and renovated, and some furniture was ordered back.

At the end of the month, Li Jingkun went to the Hua Biao Award, and Gao Meiyuan, Gu Xiaona, and Li Xian happened to be free and went together.

However, "Introduction to Architecture" only won one excellent story award, and at the same time, more than a dozen works such as "The Partner of China", "1942", "12 Zodiac Signs", and "33 Days of Broken Love" also won this award.

And this award ceremony carried out

The requirements of "stopping luxury extravagance and advocating thrifty parties" strictly save costs, do not walk the red carpet, do not engage in luxury sound and light packaging, and do not invite celebrities at high prices.

However, there were still a lot of big names that came that night. That night, I also chatted with Yu Zheng, Zhang Ziyi, Brother Long, and Huang Sect Master, and Nini and Bai Lily also said hello because they had a cooperative relationship.

Director Gangzi and Wang Zhongshi were also there, and they chatted a lot with the latter. "Private Customization" has achieved good results recently, with a box office of 320 million in the first week, setting a new box office record for domestic Chinese films.

The number of film schedules has also risen all the way, with most movie theaters accounting for more than half of the screenings, which is also rare in the industry.

Other films, such as "The Year in a Hurry" and "The Four Famous Catches 2", have been squeezed.

However, these two works are actually weak, and the results of "The Year in a Hurry" at this time are in the early 500 million.

However, the box office results are outstanding, but the reputation of "Private Customization" is very poor. There are a lot of complaints about the plot, and 19 advertisements were inserted into this movie, and when the movie was not released, 90 million advertising revenue was recovered.

Because there were too many people complaining, the director once again sprayed and tore each other with the audience on the scarf. It's also a familiar plot and a familiar picture.

Then at the beginning of January, another big event happened in the circle. The founder of Pony Benz died of a sudden illness.

The company failed to go public before the end of 13 years, and the VAM agreement with the investor failed! Its legacy is saddled with a debt of 200 million!

A promising film and television company that has suffered the worst blow! In addition to grief within the company, it is natural that people are also disheartened.

Many people have also begun to focus on their assets, directors, screenwriters, distribution channels and theaters, etc.

A few days later, Longqi Film and Television also brought up the matter again. The main reason is because an old friend of Sheng Yuan wants to jump to Longqi, and the second reason is because their high-level executives actually have ideas.

"It's only been a long time since the idea of hitting other people's assets is a bit immoral, right?" Li Jingkun has had several encounters with the founder of Pony Benz, and it was he and Zhang Yibai who came to the company to discuss the cooperation of "The Year in a Hurry".

So it's still quite embarrassing.

"In fact, their company has been in chaos for a long time, and the internal struggle has been very serious recently. Everyone else has their own minds, and everyone has to think about their own future. Sheng Yuan said.

His old friend is the manager of a department of the other company, and he is also very capable and experienced; And Longqi Film and Television's achievements in recent years have also been very eye-catching, and the "Hurried Year" co-produced with them has also achieved good results, so it is also one of the companies that many people want to change jobs.

Zhou Deze said: "This kind of thing happened, of course, everyone doesn't want to see it. And a lot of companies are already reaching out to them······" Sheng Yuan nodded and said, "There are already several companies that have contacted Ning Hao, Zhang Yibai and others, but no one will make a decision so quickly." ”

"Ning Hao······" This is Li Jingkun's senior brother, and he is also one of the most wealthy young directors today, of course, he also hopes to have in-depth cooperation with each other.

However, there are definitely many competitors, and the volume is definitely larger than Longqi. For example, large companies such as Light Limit and Zhongyi.

Sheng Yuan said: "But compared to the talents of directors and screenwriters, I am actually more interested in their distribution channels and theaters······ Longqi Film and Television wants to go public, it is very important that the business sector is complete, and the distribution department has been established, but they do not have their own theater chain.

Of course, it doesn't mean that you can't go public without a theater, but if you can have your own theater, the success rate and market value will definitely be higher.

Zhou Deze said: "These are very expensive······ Sheng Yuan said: "We ······ this year No, we've made a lot of money in 13 years. "Even if Li Jingkun took 100 million, the number on the company's account is still very scary.

Movies include "Eucalyptus Chinatown", "Hummingbird", "The Year in a Hurry"; TV series include "Hello, Old Times" and "The Year in a Hurry", each of which has brought huge profits to the company.

Therefore, there are many talents who want to work in Longqi Film and Television. The salary is high, and the bonus is even higher! After the success of these projects, almost all of them have a certain amount of bonus to be awarded!

There will be brave men under the reward! And now the company has not been listed, if you come in and hitchhike at this time, not to mention that you are worth more than a billion in the future, at least tens of millions will definitely not be able to run, right?

However, Li Jingkun is very calm, he said: "At present, Pony Benz is only the founder has passed away, and it is not that the company has gone bankrupt, and they will launch a new manager sooner or later." Don't think about the theater chain for the time being, when they are tidyed up, it may be a few years later when they really want to sell it. We won't wait that long. "Recently, their sister-in-law has made a lot of trouble, and many companies are also staring at their business and talents, and he really doesn't want to wade into this troubled water.

As for the cinema chain, in fact, the development of cinemas in the future is not so good, one is that the market is always saturated, and the other is that the profitability of the cinema business is not strong, but its investment and operating expenses are not low!

Plus the future

The "film and television winter" is coming, in fact, investing in theaters is not a very good business. It's just that if Zhou Deze and they are really interested, it is okay to build a theater, but not too much and too blindly.

And the director, screenwriter and other departments of the talent, when the right time wants to recruit it, it is still okay.

It's just that it's not easy to recruit Ning Hao at this time, and even Zhang Yibai is a little difficult. Because they are not short of money now, and if they want to make movies, they also want to cooperate with them.

Movies give them a share? They now have a share of the movie; Don't talk about them, if you want to find Huang Baoqiang to shoot "Chinatown Detective 2" later, he will get a salary + share.

Li Jingkun and Ning Hao met at the college student film festival a long time ago and chatted, but because there was no more cooperation, the relationship was average.

He debuted earlier than him, and in 06 he released the first hit "Crazy Stone", and then "Crazy Racing" and "Golden Robbery" also achieved outstanding results.

So basically domestic film and television companies want to cooperate with him, such as Light Limit, Zhongyi, Perfect Planet, etc., because no one will not like money.

So Longqi Influence wants to find him, and the regular contract will definitely not impress him. Even if he is given shares in the company, he will see if the company has prospects and whether it can provide him with more resources.

Firm? Won't he drive it himself?······ Big directors, big stars, and ready-made theaters and channels, are these tempting?

These are of course tempting, because they will bring him a good income in the future. But Li Jingkun is not greedy at all, because he has enough of it - there are a lot of gold mines waiting for him to dig if he wants to.

Now that he has Longqi, he has so many capable subordinates, and at the same time, he has a lot of copyrights and IPs at hand, and he also has many powerful and promising artists under his umbrella, where do you need to be greedy so much?

Not to mention anything else, even if he just guards Longqi Film and Television and develops well, the wealth he can earn is enough for him to eat for a few lifetimes, so there is no need to take all the good things on himself.

Therefore, in the face of Zhao Xiaodao, he didn't make a move; Facing Ning Hao, he also hugged it

The idea of "I am fortunate to have gained, but I have lost my life". Besides, why did he take 100 million funds in advance?

In addition to buying a villa, some of the other money will also go to its own investment company to prepare for some future investments.

It's not just through film and television to make money.

"I have no interest in money". At a certain point, money is really just a number.

However, Ning Hao still has to see it, even if it is to make Zhou Deze and the others feel at ease.
