Chapter 292: Li Jingkun: I'm just lucky
After the show starts, in addition to the host Lu Yu will chat directly with Li Jingkun, some other information and narration instructions will occasionally be inserted.
At present, it is not the focus on which movie is successful, and now Li Jingkun's most dazzling achievement must be Longqi Film and Television with a total market value of nearly 40 billion, so the theme this time is also based on Li Jingkun and Longqi Film and Television.
At the beginning of the show, Lu Yu was alone in the square of the office building saying the opening remarks, and then walked into the office building while talking, and then took the elevator, ready to go to Longqi Film and Television Company to visit and interview.
"I have known Li Jingkun for many years, and the first time we met at that time was on my show, it was when I was 11 years old, he should be in his third year of college, about 22 years old. At that time, he had just finished filming two movies in his life, one was "Youth School" and the other was "Introduction to Architecture".
Now 5 years have passed in a blink of an eye, and in these 5 years, he has made more movies and created a lot of box office miracles. This year, on November 21, the film and television company he founded went public.
At present, the total market value of Longqi Film and Television is nearly 40 billion, which not only makes many people billionaires, but also makes them one of the richest people in China!
I have to say it's really amazing, and I was particularly shocked by how fast he has grown and what he has achieved!
Absolutely no one would have thought that the 22-year-old young man 5 years ago would create such a huge report card in just a few years!
So I was curious about how he lived and worked in the past few years, so I made an appointment with him a few days ago and said that I wanted to give him an interview, and he said it was no problem.
So we're on his side of his company today; I'm currently in Kyoto's Haiding district, downstairs from Longqi Film and Television Company, and we're going to meet him soon! ”
Lu Yu and Li Jingkun are indeed old acquaintances, Li Jingkun has also been interviewed by her two or three times over the years, and they often meet at some events and dinners later. And she is also familiar with Liu Tianxian. So this time the meeting was very cordial, and it felt like meeting a friend.
They were comfortable with each other and chatted casually.
After Lu Yu met with Li Jingkun, he first visited Longqi Film and Television Company, and each department looked at and talked about it a little.
Because a lot of works have already been produced, there are also a lot of posters and souvenirs about some past works in the company, and of course, some trophies and certificates are indispensable.
For example, about "Youth School", such as "Introduction to Architecture"; At present, "The Tuner" has won the most honors and awards, and there are many things to talk about in it.
This part can lead you back to that movie, and lead you to recall the atmosphere and feeling when the movie was released.
Then the editorial department and the animation department also said a few more words, mainly to promote and exhibit for everyone.
Because Longqi Film and Television has not released an anime movie, it also specially introduced a movie "New God List: Yang Jian" being produced by the animation department.
Eventually, the two returned to Mr. Li's office and began to sit down for a more detailed conversation.
"Do you usually say what time you go to work? It's when I didn't go out to film. ”
Lu Yu sat on the sofa facing Li Jingkun, she was still as thin as ever, and her way of speaking was as gentle and comfortable as ever.
"No, I usually come whenever I want. Because a lot of specific work has long been done by me without me, and there are people who do it for me. ”
"Your main focus is on the work and direction, right?"
"Yes, especially in the early stage, I followed every project of the basic company very closely, including the script, actors and post-production, many of which I followed, and the participation was deep and detailed.
There will be no more, especially in recent years, because there are more projects, so if I didn't direct it myself, I would have delegated many projects to Deze and Sheng Yuan. Most of the time I just take one last look or confirmation. ”
"Haha, the big boss is like this, it feels like you're really growing up so fast! It's unbelievable that when we first met a few years ago, she was a college student, and now she is the owner of a listed company! That's amazing! ”
Li Jingkun also smiled: "It's also luck." ”
"Luck is also a kind of strength."
Lu Yu's style is still as comfortable and casual as ever, but this is also the way Li Jingkun prefers it.
In recent years, some programs have gone the opposite way, and the whole interview has taken a serious and sharp, even aggressive style.
To be honest, after seeing too much Lu Yu's style, the serious and sharp style will indeed make people shine. Many people also like to see the embarrassed and embarrassing reactions of the interviewee, saying that it makes the interviewee more real, so that they can reveal more real information.
Li Jingkun admits that sometimes it does have this effect, but he himself does not like that style.
He prefers a way where two or three people can sit down and have tea and chat together; If you talk a lot, you can also be very heart-to-heart and honest.
Rather than an interview, he wants it to be an exchange; You can even think of it as a gathering of friends and small talk.
He wanted a pleasant atmosphere, not a relationship that deteriorated after the interview and then stopped interacting.
So this is also one of the reasons why he thinks Lu Yu's show can continue to be done, while some other programs can't last long: It's not pleasant to come to you, and as soon as word of mouth spreads, who still wants to come to your show in the future?
Everyone is in this position, who wants to come to you to find discomfort?
I really want exposure and popularity, there are a lot of good programs!
"Whether it's your movies or Longqi Film and Television's works, what do you think is the most important thing?"
"Of course it's still a story, and it's an interesting story."
"What about the others? Such as form? Like the cast? Who to work with? ”
"Of course, form is also important, each era has its own form and technology, but it is also necessary to serve the story in order to go long.
I give you an analogy, such as "Jurassic Park" and "Transformers", the special effects have always been beautiful, whether it is a dinosaur or a robot, they are all very realistic. But I think the special effects will also get tired of watching; Especially now that everything can be made realistically, whether it's a movie or a game, everyone is doing it well. ”
Lu Yu nodded: "Everyone is used to it, and they take it for granted." ”
Li Jingkun said: "Yes, I have experienced it, and I will really get tired of it." But I think interesting stories never get tired!
Interesting stories will bring different emotional experiences and emotional changes to people, and this thing will not get tired. People are emotionally driven creatures and need to feel different emotions from time to time. So I think this is the most important thing.
If this aspect is done well, if the content is done well, I think this film and television company can go further.
But if it's just that the technology and special effects are very good, but the story is weak and fails to arouse the audience's resonance and emotions, I don't think it will attract the audience and achieve good results. ”
Lu Yu then asked: "So the main goal of you personally, including your company, is also this?" ”
Li Jingkun nodded: "Yes, of course, the most important task is to do a good job in content, high-quality content, and high-quality stories." And then based on this, it will be extended to other fields, such as theaters, such as online platforms, etc., which are currently only auxiliary tasks. ”
Before Li Jingkun was on the show, most of the hosts mainly used him as the director to do interviews, but now that Longqi Film and Television is listed, Li Jingkun is not only a very Li Jing director, but also a very successful entrepreneur in China.
Therefore, this time, Lu Yu asked more about running the company or the future development of the company.
Interviews with bosses of listed companies, whether in magazines or on TV, have the meaning of releasing ideas, confidence and direction to shareholders and investors.
At the same time, it is also a time to show everyone strength and charm, in order to let investors and potential investors have stronger confidence in their company, and then come up with more money.
"In fact, you have always been the kind of person who charges forward in the company, and Longqi's success has a lot to do with you. So would you think of yourself more as an entrepreneur or more as a director now? ”
"At present, there are more directors, I still have a lot of works to shoot."
"Now that you're financially free, and you're the kind of freedom, you haven't changed your feelings about that, have you? It's just that you suddenly become so rich, and suddenly you have so many assets, does this have a big impact on your original life plan? “
"The impact must be there, the whole mentality and mind are freer, right? The feeling of not being tied down by anything.
However, in recent years, I have continued to make more movies, because there are still a lot of stories I want to make. It's just that I'm really not the kind of person who fights hard, as you can see when I just said that I often sleep lazy. Actually, I'm also quite a 'salted fish' person. ”
“······ Yes, it's salted fish. Lu Yu nodded a little speechlessly.
Li Jingkun smiled and continued: "So when you feel a little tired and tired one day, you may start to rest." ”
"How long is this break? Let's say a year or two? ”
"I don't know yet, I may continue to shoot, but it is true that I may prepare another work in two or three years, right? It's hard to say. ”
·····
The songs written by Lee Kyung-kun have become popular in Omi and even around the world, and not only Selena and the people in their company are happy, but Lim Yoona and the members of the Thigh Era, including SM Company, are also happy.
Because they also got an English song by Li Jingkun.
After agreeing to Lin Yun'er's request before, Li Jingkun sent her all the lyrics and songs not long after the movie was completed, she was naturally very grateful, told him several times on the communication software, and also brought the thanks of the team members. said that if they met in the future, they invited him to dinner or something in the thigh age.
In the later stage of "Tang Detective 2", Lin Yuner still needs to make up some dubbing, so she also took a plane to Kyoto for a while.
She was joined by an assistant and a vice president of SM.
It's not that I'm worried about Lin Yuner being eaten by Li Jingkun or something, but in addition to signing the contract, I also want to enhance my relationship with him or something.
When Li Jingkun was invited to dinner that night, he tentatively asked if there could be other cooperation in the future. For example, write one or two songs for other idols or teams in SM company, or give them some movie roles, etc.
They came all the way over, and there was no problem with having a meal with them, and Li Jingkun was not interested in other things for the time being. So it's just a casual perfunctory.
The vice president of SM was not disappointed, after all, they really didn't know each other well. How is it possible to cooperate successfully after only a few meetings?
The reason why he agreed to give Lin Yuna a role and a song from the thigh era was only because he was familiar with Lin Yun'er, not with their company.
So it's normal to be politely rejected. Continue to see if there is a chance in the future.
And Li Jingkun is an international boss!
is still a big boss of a listed company, and with such a big coffee position, it's normal that he won't easily agree to cooperate with anyone - and to be honest, working with Omi singers must also earn a lot more than working with them······
Therefore, after thinking about this, I feel how rare it is to get this cooperation opportunity.
"We will produce and sing well, and we won't let you down!"
Of course, Lin Yuna also understands this, so she is even more grateful for Li Jingkun's friendship.
"English songs, and it's a bit difficult, are you sure to interpret them?" Li Jingkun said.
"Hah, what do you mean? I'm a professional singer! Lin Yun'er clenched her fists, "Besides, there are 8 people in our group······"
"Hahaha. So there's not a lot of word to be assigned to you, right? That's really not that hard. ”
“······ Ah, can you still be good friends? It's too poisonous! Lin Yun'er couldn't help but glance at him.
In fact, compared with many other girl groups, the singing skills of the thigh era are still quite good, and Kim Taeyeon is recognized as the one with the best singing skills in the whole group. followed by Zheng Xiuyan, who withdrew from the group.
Hwang Mi-young and Lee Soon-gyu are better at English and have a better control of English songs than others.
There were also English songs in the thigh era, but the popularity was not very good, but many cover songs were sung very well, and Li Jingkun's favorite was their song "Dancing Queen".
The performance is very nayse, and the singing is very burning and powerful!
Lin Yun'er's singing skills are worse than others, but it's okay.
is so beautiful, it doesn't matter if your singing skills and acting skills are almost there, do you really expect all good things to be given to the same person?
That's not fair to anyone else!
