Chapter 224: Meet Your Parents (Happy New Year)
The global release date of "Avengers 2" is set for May 1, which is a very uncomfortable news for domestic filmmakers.
After all, in recent years, Omi movies have made a lot of money in China, and the picture of the massacre is still vivid, after all, the shadow caused by "Turning into Cash 4" has not yet dissipated - "Avengers 2" is also a big IP, and it is a big IP that gathers a lot of popular occasional and superheroes, so if you encounter it, you can only imagine what kind of fate and fate you will get.
The box office of "Metamorphosis 4" last year was 1.979 billion, and it is still the king of domestic box office records!
There are countless domestic box office records broken, and it is an insurmountable height in a short period of time! The domestic box office of "Avengers 1" is 470 million, but that is the box office figure of 12 years, which is not the same as the current nature.
And several superhero movies after "Avengers 1", such as "Iron Man 3" and "American Team 2", have won more than 700 million box office results.
Coupled with the current market and the number of screens, it is completely different from the previous one. Judging from the current domestic market and the enthusiasm of domestic fans for Omi blockbusters, most industry insiders will think that "Avengers 2" is definitely a movie of more than 1 billion!
If one is not careful, it is possible to break the domestic box office record of "Metamorphosis 4"! Yes, it will be difficult for "Metamorphosis 4" to break through the final box office, but sadly, many people will think that if anyone can really surpass the box office record of "Metamorphosis 4", they may still have to rely on Omi Films······ So the appearance of "Avengers 2", which is absolutely disastrous for other movies of the same period!
····· "The Tuner" began to promote the release, and "Bouquet of Love" was not so fast, but recently a song was prepared for Liu Tianxian, which was ready to be used as a promotional song for the movie.
In addition to work matters, Liu Tianxian also told him one thing in the past few days, that is, his grandmother and aunt have always wanted to meet him, have a meal, chat or something.
Liu Tianxian said: "Actually, they told me about the New Year and Lantern Festival······
"I'm not ready to meet my parents so soon, I'm not ready to ······" Before Li Jingkun finished speaking, he was Liu Tianxian
"Snap" patted his shoulder. Because she felt like her boyfriend was going to pretend to her again.
"Okay, I can do it, you can arrange it." Under the suppression of force, Li Jingkun quickly changed his tune.
But Liu Tianxian is still very considerate: "But will it be busy recently, do you need to make an appointment in a few days?" She also knew that they had been worrying about the finalization lately.
For the Omi blockbuster, it must be fake to say that you are not afraid! Recently, I heard that "Avengers 2" will be released on May Day, and many films have adjusted their schedules.
Some of them have been raised, but more of them have been postponed. "Tuner" is a strong production, the lineup is not small, and the quality is also very good, but in recent years, Omega blockbusters have natural advantages, and most people still subconsciously think that the quality of others is better, and the risk of bad movies is less.
Moreover, superhero movies have accumulated a lot of fans and word-of-mouth in recent years, and I don't think it will be any worse.
Therefore, even if Li Jingkun has confidence in "Tuner", they will still have some stage fright against "Avengers 2" - even if they can get a good box office by then, but serious injuries are certain!
Even if the box office was very good at that time, it was definitely divided into a lot of box office results! It's just that Li Jingkun's current status in the rivers and lakes, coupled with Brother Hua and Li Binbin's coffee positions in China, is too bad to raise and postpone, so he is currently in a dilemma!
"It's okay, no matter how busy you are, you have to get off work, no matter how busy you are, you have to eat, I don't care about this moment." The occasional fight between the two is just fun, Liu Tianxian is very considerate of him after all, so Li Jingkun, who understands this, immediately gave her a kiss and imprinted it on her face.
Liu Tianxian couldn't help but smile and glared at him with disgust, and then wiped it on his face - maybe there was a bit of saliva this time.
"Huh." Although she wiped it off, Li Jingkun didn't mind at all, because he quickly got over again; This time, he hugged her directly and imprinted her face all over at once.
Cheeks, nose, forehead, chin, saliva are everywhere. Liu Tianxian was naturally shocked, and she broke free while laughing: "Ah! Okay, okay, that's enough—it's disgusting, you—and coming! I'm going to bite you! ”······
"What do the other filmmakers say?" "The Tuner" and "Everything Grows", "Equator", "Young and Frivolous" and other works are all movies released at about the same time, if it is in peacetime, of course, it is a competitor, but in the face of works from other countries, it can be temporarily synthesized into an alliance.
"They····· I didn't say much, it was up to us to say what we wanted to say······" "Avengers 2" is going to be released on May 1st, and "Tuner" doesn't want to admit that it will be raised or postponed, so it began to think of other methods.
Of course, this method is to let the other party postpone! Originally, this side is our own home field, there is no reason for us to retreat, we have to let the other party retreat to be reasonable!
However, the strength of one person is too small, and the initial idea of Longqi is to unite people from other companies to discuss with the General Bureau to see if they can let the other party move a little and come back at another time.
After all, this is a big schedule, a big May Day. There's no reason for them to occupy a more valuable slot, right?
It would have been very face-saving to let them be released so early, so there is no need to rush to a good schedule with us, right?
How many good schedules are there in a year! But I didn't expect that only Longqi Film and Television has this idea now, but other filmmakers are not so active····· Because they feel that facing Li Jingkun's "Tuner" doesn't seem to be much different from "Avengers 2······ Maybe they are all existences that will be crushed.
So one of the more practical thoughts of many of them is: Why don't I just get rid of these two big guys······ But now that I see that Longqi Film and Television is worried about this matter, it seems that I can also wait and see for a while.
After all, the schedule has already been announced, and changing the date at will is very hurtful to the movie itself. So let's see if Longqi Film and Television can succeed this time, if they can, they only have one strong opponent left, and it doesn't seem that it can't be released.
This is really in response to the old saying: the sky falls, let the tall ones stand first!
"But in the face of two blockbusters at the same time, they will have no room to survive, right?"
"Yes, they can definitely understand this truth, but now they think that we will lose more, so they want us to be the leader."
“·····” Li Jingkun was a little speechless, but he also understood their thoughts, they just wanted to sit back and enjoy their success.
But others can sit back and enjoy it, but they certainly can't do that on their side. Therefore, after discussing with several senior executives of the company for a while, I felt that I could talk to Huaying first.
Yes, "The Tuner" was co-released with Huaying this time. Although the distribution channels of Longqi Film and Television have developed well, this time the work wants to be released simultaneously in as many overseas regions and countries as possible - at least most countries and regions want to be released simultaneously.
Therefore, it is still necessary to use Huaying's overseas distribution channels. Therefore, if you encounter a problem this time, you must also discuss with them, after all, they will also have a share of the lost money.
"Yes, it has to be." Huaying's response was very refreshing, and I thought of this layer as well.
So soon, Han Shanye, Li Jingkun and Zhou Deze, as well as several other colleagues who were called by Huaying, made an appointment to go to the General Administration as guests.
······ Basically, all Chinese people have seen the dragon mark of the General Administration, but not everyone knows where the General Administration is, and they are relatively unfamiliar with the department of the General Administration, so they think it will be a very mysterious place.
However, people in Li Jingkun's position certainly don't think it's mysterious. Because this is a place that I often have to deal with, I have been there a few times before and after.
Besides, there are a lot of people who work here that he already knows - there are a lot of old professors from Jingying who work here, aren't they already known for a long time?
Many professors already have a good identity and several jobs, and they usually attend classes at school, and at the same time, they also work in the General Administration to review films or something.
And these professors are of course very familiar with Li Jingkun, and many of them have good feelings and impressions of him - after all, they are also excellent graduates of Beijing Film.
So when I saw him appear at this time, of course, I also greeted each other, and then chatted for a while. It's just that this time after all, I came to do business, so I couldn't talk too much, so I directly talked to the leaders of the General Administration about it.
Of course, this is a big deal, and you have to consider a lot of factors to see if there will be other bad effects, and then you can try to implement it.
Therefore, it is naturally impossible to have a result on the day, but they will take this matter to heart and will seriously consider how to operate; Later, Longqi and Huaying could only wait for their notifications and feedback.
…… In the past, Liu Tianxian once said in an interview with the media: I am the ugliest in the whole family.
Originally, many people thought that she was humbling, or like
"Ordinary and unremarkable" is the same as a stalk, but I didn't expect to see a photo of Liu's mother and Shu Sing later, and many people realized that she didn't seem to be joking.
This photo was taken when Shu Sing was younger, and Liu's mother was estimated to be in her forties at that time, but the whole person looked very young, and she was slender and slender, with a noble and elegant temperament.
The two stood together, Shu Sing was of course a younger little girl, but it was definitely not her who was more noticeable.
And if you look at the photos alone, many people may believe that they are sisters, but in fact, they are more than 20 years apart.
It can be said that Liu's mother's appearance and temperament when she was young, even in the entertainment industry where there are so many beautiful women, is a top-notch existence.
Even some of the temperament and charm on his body are indeed what Liu Tianxian does not have for the time being. But that's not enough
"Liu Tianxian is the ugliest in the family", because there are many examples of children who are not as good-looking as their mothers.
So at a certain moment, the photos of Liu Tianxian's grandmother, aunt and cousin were also revealed, and judging from those photos, everyone found out that their family is indeed very good-looking!
No wonder Liu Tianxian would say that she is the worst-looking in the whole family····· Of course, who is better looking must be a matter of opinion, and Liu Tianxian said that he is the ugliest in the family, so naturally there is also a sense of self-humility.
"Why do you take so many things? You don't have to buy so much, it's too wasteful, and you haven't eaten and used up all the things you bought years ago. ”
"It's okay, there are also some of them who are filial to grandma." After getting off work that evening, Li Jingkun drove a car and went to Liu Tianxian's house alone.
After Liu Tianxian received the message of his departure, she would go over and stare at the door from time to time, because she wanted to go over to meet him as soon as possible, and then come in with her - she was a little embarrassed not to come with him, so of course she wanted to be the first to go over to meet him.
Finally, the sound of a car sounded at the door, and she quickly pressed the electric door and trotted over.
Li Jingkun was also very familiar with their family, so he parked the car in the yard casually, then opened the trunk, and followed Liu Tianxian and the two to carry the gift in.
After entering the first floor, Liu's mother, grandmother and aunt were all there, so naturally they all greeted each other.
Then start seating and boiling water to make tea. I didn't know it at first, and it must still be a little awkward feeling in it.
But Li Jingkun has long been not a person with stage fright, and now he basically sees big people every day, and his friends and partners are also domestic celebrities, and his competitors are directly facing large Omi companies, so he will naturally not be affected
"Meet the parents" was scared. Besides, the main character, Mother Liu, has long been familiar with it. She is arguably the only one who watched them all the way from never knowing each other, and then from knowing to starting to fall in love.
If there is any dissatisfaction or doubt about him or them, the person who will raise it a long time ago. So there's really nothing to be afraid of.
Therefore, Li Jingkun chatted with them while making tea, acting naturally and calmly; Naturally, it is easy to get the approval and love of my grandmother and aunt.
Then it was soon time to eat, and several people began to change positions and went to the dining room one by one to eat. At this time, everyone became more familiar, and his grandmother's attitude towards him became more kind.
So I started asking more in-depth questions.
"So you've been together for almost two years, and the time is not short, and I think you have a good relationship with each other, so do you have any longer-term plans or ideas for the future?" As an elder, of course, my grandmother is very concerned about Liu Tianxian's personal problems, and many of the questions asked today have actually been mentioned to Liu Tianxian before.
But when I saw the other party, I couldn't help but want to ask again. After all, in their opinion, it is more important to affirm the man's attitude and decision, and let him say it himself to better see his true and true thoughts, rather than after Liu Tianxian himself processed and beautified, and then said it to them.
"I listen to her arrangement, she can have the next plan whenever she wants." Li Jingkun has also been prepared for this question, after all, it has come to this point, and they have all asked to meet their parents, and they will definitely be asked this question sooner or later.
In fact, it was up to her to decide when she wanted to make it public. I'm a man, it's okay, anyway, it doesn't have much impact on my career, it mainly depends on her own ideas and decisions. His answer can't be considered very beautiful, but at least his attitude is very good, and it also gives Liu Tianxian face: There is no problem on my side, it depends on her own thoughts, she can arrange the next step whenever she wants, and she is in charge of this!
Everyone understood what he meant, and they thought it was good, so they couldn't help but smile.
Liu Tianxian herself was very happy to hear it, and she was also smiling - maybe she hadn't realized a problem yet: if her mother or grandmother wanted to urge them to follow further in the future, it would definitely just urge her side······ After all, Li Jingkun has said it, and it depends on what she means in this regard.
And if their relationship has not escalated, the pressure must have been directly on her side······
"What about your family? Do they have any ideas? Grandma continued to ask. The two of them have been together for almost two years, and the family situation has naturally been clear to each other; Liu's mother also told her grandmother and a few of them.
Li Jingkun's own family is not wealthy, and he has many brothers and sisters; He is the eldest in the family. There is no need to talk about personal conditions, not to mention that they are very clear, that is, many people in the country have a lot of respect for his conditions: personal assets of more than three billion!
There are two most important film and television companies under his name, and there are many big-name directors and big-name stars under the film and television company!
In the past two years, he has been able to earn hundreds of millions of soft girls every year! And he is so young and handsome, with such a good personality, a boyfriend like this, a son-in-law like this, where can I find it?
"My parents don't have any special ideas, and occasionally they do talk about my personal marital problems; But since high school, I've been in charge of a lot of things, so of course they respect my ideas and decisions. Basically, I can arrange my personal problems whenever I want – of course, I have to talk to them in advance when I have an idea. ”
"That's for sure - so do they know about you and Sissi?"
"Of course you know, and you've asked me a lot about her before."
"Do they have any ideas?"
"I don't have any ideas, I must be very satisfied with her very much like her."
"Uh-huh, that's good—have they met, with our Sissi?"
