“······ What are you looking for a feather duster? Is it time to clean? ”

"What do you think I'm looking for a feather duster for?"

“······” Well, Yang Zini still softened in the end. She was willing to negotiate peacefully.

But in the end, it was as she wished, because Li Jingkun could give her an actor contract, but she couldn't easily change jobs, let alone stay for a year or two and run away.

Then we talked about the length of the contract.

"Eight years."

"How about 6 years? 6 years is a long time, and I'm not a newcomer, 6 years is enough, right? ”

“······ Is that what I want to sign now? ”

“······ How about 7 years otherwise? It's really that when I was a child, I signed with others for too long, and I was a little scared, so I didn't dare to sign for so long. Actually, 7 years is quite a long time. And don't worry, I won't just terminate the contract this time - a company as big as Longqi Film and Television, I don't know how much I want to come in, how can I leave casually. And you can also set the penalty a little higher. ”

“······ Okay, I'll let Sheng Yuan talk to you about other more specific things - tidy up your clothes before you go out. ”

"Okay!"

“······” Things finally came true, and Yang Zini was still very happy. If she hadn't been frightened by Li Jingkun's appearance of preparing to take a feather duster just now, she could have gone directly to him to give him a kiss now.

“…… What are you doing here? I've already told Sheng Yuan. ”

"Okay, I'll come back to you after signing the contract that night—isn't there a welcome ceremony······?" In fact, "The Tuner" has been in secret preparation, and the actors have not only determined one, but one of the villains has quickly determined the candidate, that is, Huang Jue.

A somewhat tall and majestic domestic actor who has been a model. In 2002, he starred in the movie "Baby in Love" with Zhou Gongzi and made his debut, and later starred in "Letter from a Strange Woman", "Xiao Hong", "Allure" and other works.

There is no problem with acting, and the image and temperament are also in line with this character: he has a good figure and temperament, so he can become the lover of the female villain.

At the same time, he has also played many villains, because he also has that fierce temperament. After a change in his eyes, he will become ruthless, and he feels like he has a few lives on his back, so the villain male number two is none other than him.

The villain female number one has also been looking for her, and at the beginning, Brother Hua recommended Liu Jialing. Liu Jialing was also very interested at first, this is the female number one of the great directors; It's just that after all, she has also debuted for many years, there is no shortage of fame, no shortage of money, and the peak has long passed, and it seems that she doesn't need a villain to prove anything.

So after thinking about it for a few days, I still refused. However, Li Jingkun is not particularly anxious, because there are many actresses suitable for this role, and there will be many people who are willing to cooperate with him and Brother Hua.

So after watching several actresses who are suitable for this role, I saw Li Binbin's name among the many candidates, and remembered that I had chatted a few times in some activities before, and I also had the intention of cooperating, so I sent her an invitation.

"Female number one, but the villain?" Li Binbin was very happy when she received Li Jingkun's invitation, she didn't expect that the previous chats at the event were not polite words, Li Jingkun really wanted to cooperate with her.

But when I learned that it was the villain No. 1, I calmed down, because she rarely plays the villain, and the setting of this villain is so ruthless: cheating, cooperating with her lover to kill her husband, pushing the grandmother downstairs, poisoning other people's eyes, etc.

However, in the past two years, Li Jingkun's commercial films have all been popular works that can get a box office of 900 million billion, so she didn't want to refuse easily, so she quickly made an appointment with Li Jingkun, and then came directly to Longqi Film and Television to learn more and more details.

······

"Actually, I rarely play a villain, especially this kind of role." Li Binbin does rarely play villain roles, maybe the white-haired witch in "The King of Kung Fu" in 08 is one, but that is just a simple villain; The characters are certainly not as complex as in "The Tuner".

And "The Tuner" is still an absolute heroine! What this role needs is a woman with good looks, figure, acting skills, and then looks like she is in her thirties or forties.

So is Lee Binbin suitable? In Li Jingkun's opinion, she is certainly very suitable! Needless to say, the appearance and figure may be different for everyone, but here it is qualified and very in line with the personality.

From the main point of view, many people will think that she is not a beauty in their minds; But objectively speaking, she is definitely much better than most women.

So there is no need to question the image. And then when it comes to acting. may say this, many people will think that her acting skills are not very good.

But Li Jingkun feels that in recent years, she has been completely different from her previous state. Perhaps in the first few years of her debut, her acting skills were indeed the same as many actresses, she was relatively immature and had more problems.

But she has been in the industry for almost 20 years, and now it is a little inappropriate to say that her acting skills are not good.

Needless to say, the movie "The Wind" did not fall behind even against last week's son; In "The Ballad of Water Clouds", she almost crushed the suppression of the other heroine; In "The Empire of Babel", she is in the limelight; "Snowflake Secret Fan" is completely her personal one-man show.

So no matter from the perspective of image, temperament and acting skills, there is no problem at all for her to play the female villain No. 1 in "The Tuner".

Now it's up to her to see if she is willing to act.

"Sister Binbin debuted much earlier than me, and she has read scripts and acted in more plays than me, so I don't need to say anything to you, you can also think about it for a few more days, and I'm not in a hurry at the moment." Li Jingkun and Li Binbin were sitting facing each other in the conference room at this time, and in front of the latter was the script of "The Tuner".

Hearing his words at this time, Li Binbin looked up at him: "Don't you want me to take on this play?" ”

"How come, I don't want you to take this play, why did I send you the script first."

"I heard that Sister Jia Ling rejected this role?"

"The first actor we confirmed was Brother Hua, and after talking to Brother Hua, he recommended Liu Jialing to me, and I thought it was okay, but then she rejected the role." Li Binbin nodded, thought for a while, then closed the script and pushed it away from his eyes: "I'll try to summarize the characteristics of this character, and if there is anything that needs help to supplement and correct, you can also talk about it." ”

"Okay."

"First of all, this heroine must be a ruthless person, and she acts in a very decisive style."

"Yes, these can show her characteristics in many places, such as when handling her husband's body, such as when she left the old lady downstairs."

"There are many places that show her characteristics when dealing with the male lead."

"Yes, like when dealing with his eyes." Li Binbin continued: "Second, she is a woman with good acting skills. Li Jingkun nodded: "She even deceived her husband, who has decades of acting experience." ”

"Third, she can bend and stretch and judge the situation. When the situation is unfavorable to you, you are willing to bow your head and admit defeat, and choose to get through the difficulties temporarily. ”

"Yes, I have a strong mental quality, and I also know how to improvise."

"In short, she is a villain who is very intelligent, very means, and her IQ is completely online."

"Yes."

"It's a challenging role, and it's a great opportunity for actors to show and prove their acting skills; But because he is a more ruthless villain, there may be a little crisis for the actors. This time, Li Jingkun just nodded and didn't speak, after all, it was all tacit.

First, Li Binbin is eager to have a good role and a good opportunity to show himself. Second, she has rarely had works and roles that she can get her hands on in recent years, one is that when she is older, there are not many opportunities to choose, and actresses who are younger and more beautiful than her have sprung up.

"The Wind" is already a movie in 09; "I Do" and "Snowflake Secret Fan" have a relatively average reputation; In recent years, there have been "Resident Evil 5" and "Transformers 4······ In some blockbuster films of Omega, he played a small supporting role, and played all kinds of soy sauce.

How can I say that I can be regarded as a first-line star and first-line actor of Huaguo Entertainment, I don't know what I have thought in the past few years, why I have always thought that Omi is good, haven't you seen the thriving scene in China in recent years?

Well, maybe it's true that when you're old, it's hard to compete with actresses in your twenties and thirties?

Third, this role is indeed too vicious, they don't know about other countries, but many viewers in China are very confusing, an actor who plays a villain role thinks that he himself is such a bad person, and thinks that he has really done these bad things······ Therefore, as a first-line actor and a big flower in the entertainment industry, it is normal to have some scruples.

······ But the final choice is still up to her, and she doesn't need to use anything

"Test your acting skills", or

"There is a chance to win an award" and other reasons to convince her. Because they have long been very aware of this, one is that some awards have already been won, and the other is that they are now old, and they are not as easy to deceive as when they were young.

After all, how many years have I been in this industry, and I basically starred in a work, what evaluations and encounters will be obtained, I have a rough score before I start shooting.

So when Brother Hua took over the filming of "Fuchun Mountain Residence", didn't he know that it would be a bad movie? So Xiangjiang director Wang Jing often doesn't know if the movie he makes will be a bad movie?

If you know, you must know, but many times you still have to shoot when you know. That's another story.

Back to "The Tuner". Since Liu Jialing refused, Li Binbin hesitated, wouldn't it be okay to find other actresses again?

Of course, this is possible, and there must be many people who are happy to say yes at that time. The problem is that the role itself also requires a certain amount of strength, and there are also certain requirements for age, appearance and figure.

And Li Binbin is an actor who is more suitable for this role, and he takes his work very seriously; In addition, Li Jingkun also likes many of the roles she has played before, such as "Waiting Alone", such as "Young Zhang Sanfeng" and "Young Bao Qingtian" and so on.

So for now, it's okay for her to think about it a little longer. ······ "Night and Day" also lasted for 12 days, which was the least roadshow and the most idle fish in Li Jingkun's movies in the past.

But in fact, the publicity about this movie is not weaker than other movies, not to mention anything else, there are at least three that the previous movies do not have.

First, it was at the Gina Film Festival. At that time, the heat was not low; Second, I got the Magic City International Film Festival

"Grand Jury Prize"; Third, from preparation to shooting, to the final film roadshow, the full name is supported by a series of videos of "Li Jingkun's Filming Diary".

Therefore, there are not a lot of publicity resources for it, so there is also a reason to reduce the number of roadshow days. And in fact, its stamina is indeed much weaker than other movies.

There's no way, the subject matter is limited. In addition, he actually had a lot of other things to do, so he only planned a 12-day roadshow.

After the roadshow, he also needs to prepare a new film work, that is, "The Tuner". After all, the protagonist of this movie has not even been fully determined.

Another more important thing is to help "Old Boy Menglong Crossing the River" and "Get Out!" Tumor Jun" publicity and platform.

Although Li Jingkun himself does not want to be partial, in the actual operation process, he is still partial.

One was during the promotion, the response to "Get Out! The praise of "Tumor Jun" is more sincere and frequent, and the director Wen Muye is also highly respected; The other is to bring more and bigger friends for this movie - Ning Hao, Yu Zheng and others also arrived at the premiere.

In fact, I really don't blame him for being biased, because at the internal test screening, the feedback from "Get Out" was better.

Xiao Yang himself admits this······ But in addition, in fact, the publicity of "Old Boy Menglong Crossing the River" is not small.

In May of this year, the song "Little Apple" came out, and it came out as a promotional song for the movie.

Of course, the song is very popular, and it has been heard and sung by ordinary people of all sizes in China, and it actually has a certain reputation in Asia.

But to be honest, the actual fame brought to their band is not that much, and it belongs to the typical song celebrity not popular series.

There are many people who have heard and sung about it, but not many people really care who the singer is. So the impact on the film is also limited.

This movie is now one of the works of Longqi Film and Television, and of course the publicity work is also arranged everywhere, and there should be.

There were also two or three premieres. If you follow Xiao Yang's own influence in the circle, he can actually call many friends in the circle to help, but it is definitely not as big as the previous "After the End".

Fortunately, this movie is now both a work of Longqi Film and Television, and Xiao Yang is also a signed artist of Longqi Film and Television, so if nothing else, the artists of Longqi Film and Television will definitely be present if they are free.

Li Jingkun himself also went. However, when it comes to the box office, the two members of the Old Boys are still very cautious, not daring to say anything too full of words, nor dare to say any specific numbers.

In fact, being promoted as one of the works of Longqi Film and Television is also quite stressful for Xiao Yang - there is no way, in the past year or two, the film works of Longqi Film and Television have the least box office of almost two or three hundred million.

But in any case, this can be regarded as the fulfillment of Xiao Yang's own dream of directing, even from the micro-film "Old Boy" to today's feature film, it is a huge progress to be launched in the cinema.

Anyway, everything that needs to be done is done now, and now it's time to test the results.
