Chapter 304: Netflix: You are the best creator!

Li Jingkun's speech lasted for more than an hour, followed by time to answer some questions.

Soon, Li Jingkun asked a boy to stand up, and the teacher who helped as the host on the scene quickly passed the microphone over. As a result, the first thing he said was not to ask a question, but to say something like this:

"Hello senior brother, I am Chang Hao from the Level 15 Director Department, and like you, Teacher Su Zhijun and Xu Haofeng are also my teachers. My teachers also used to follow your example and told us a lot about you in class, so we learned a lot from you. ”

After the boy said this, it also caused a lot of cheers and applause, and it is estimated that many of them are also classmates from the directing department.

"Thank you." Li Jingkun replied with a smile.

"But sometimes we also feel a little lost, you said that there are so many opportunities that everyone can start shooting with their mobile phones, but they still often feel at a loss where to start. And a lot of popular things also confuse us, because there are a lot of nonsensical works, a lot of spoof works, I don't think it's nutritious at all, why is it so popular? What do you think I should do with this? ”

After Chang Hao's question was finished, Li Jingkun motioned for him to sit down first, and then began to answer his question:

"Okay, thanks. That's a really good question, because I think there should be a lot of people who have the same confusion as you. First of all, let me try to answer your first question, that is, feeling at a loss?

Why do you feel this way? In fact, in the final analysis, it is because there are not enough things to see, and there are not enough knowledge reserves and creative reserves; At the same time, it is also because there are not enough times and things to think and create.

Both of these points are important, but the first point you can ignore for a while, because you can get into this school, and now that you have been studying for more than a year, you should have enough knowledge to start some creation.

And of course, don't stop learning!

Then focus on starting your practice, and you don't need to do much stuff, pick up your pen, turn on your computer, and start creating two or three minutes of stories coming out; Finally, use a mobile phone or video camera to start shooting the finished product in these few minutes, which can be three minutes, or five or six minutes, and there is no problem.

The point is to get hands-on. And it adds up; If you have more ideas and ideas, you will continue to find problems and make progress. ”

Li Jingkun finished speaking, and he answered quite well, so the students and teachers couldn't help but give him applause.

He then replied: "The second question, why are there so many spoof videos on the Internet? Why do you find things that are not nutritious?

First of all, you have to understand that you must not imagine yourself how tall you are, never hold yourself too high, and never be too self-righteous!

It's true that cinema is known as the seventh art, but we must first understand one thing, what is a very important function of cinema?

It's entertainment!

It's to entertain the public!

It's to bring joy to everyone!

And these non-nutritious things you are talking about, he also meets the entertainment needs of a large part of netizens, which is why they appear and become popular. Because they're entertaining enough and they're good enough to pass the time. And it's fragmented time.

After all, in film and television, many works take at least an hour or two, or even many days to watch. But many people don't have that much time, modern life is too stressful, and it's too difficult to make money, so what if most of us want to relax? That's just a few short-lived, mind-bothering videos!

In the future, movies and TV series may be shorter - I don't mean that a few minutes is a movie, but I mean that many people may cut and refine movies and TV series into something like a 'movie commentary', and briefly tell everyone what story the work tells.

Of course, I'm not saying that it's right to have these things, or that they're problematic, it's a product of the times, a product of technological development, and a product of human needs. As long as it's not too vulgar, as long as it's not something illegal or criminal, many things are inevitable.

So what we have to do is only to look at these things ideally, and then do our own things - these things are liked by many people, but there are also many people who have been pursuing the movies and TV series you have made, and there will always be many people who are willing to spend time and energy to enjoy the deeper spiritual enjoyment you bring to them! ”

Li Jingkun replied very seriously, and said a lot of things, and they were all words with substance, so everyone once again gave warm cheers and applause for his answer.

Then, another girl was also clicked.

"Hello senior brother, I am from the 16th level of the Department of Drama and Literature, you just said that now is a very good era, and I also admit that the progress of science and technology has indeed led to a lot of things, and there seem to be more good works than before, but why do I think there are still more masters in the past, and there are more powerful people in the past?"

Li Jingkun nodded, thanked the other party for his question, and then asked her to sit down first, and then he said:

"This is a very common idea, and many people often think that ancient things are better, that there are more good things in the past than now, and that there are more masters and talents in the previous generation, and they are better. Of course, I don't deny that many teachers and professors were very good before, such as our Tian Xiangxing teacher, Zhang Guoshi, Jia Zhangke, Zhang Yuan, Wang Xiaoshuai and so on.

But that doesn't mean that the new generation will be worse than the old!

We're just young, and we're just not at the time when we're starting to get started.

There are talents from generation to generation, and it must be wonderful for each generation!

Let's not talk about other schools, there are a lot of good filmmakers from our own Beijing Film, and there are a lot of powerful filmmakers!

For example, you Senior Brother Ning Hao, such as Senior Brother Wen Muye, and Xin Yukun have also come to Jingying to study seriously, these people are and will be among the best talents in the industry now and in the future, and they may also become master-level people in the future.

And more people haven't started to find their own direction, and they haven't really made their efforts yet. All you don't need to worry about this problem, there will only be more good people around you than before······"

Li Jingkun also said more about this question, on the whole, he thinks that the present is definitely better than the past, the market is good now, the technology is good, and the film and television creation must be a scene of a hundred flowers blooming.

Of course, he also expressed an opinion, that is, with the advancement of science and technology, there is no threshold for filming, no threshold for editing, and everyone can be a director, of course, it will be a great challenge for practitioners.

If you want to live well and mix better than others, you may need to put in more effort and create better works!

Li Jingkun finally returned to Beijing Film once, everyone was very enthusiastic and enthusiastic, and some familiar faces were also called up to ask questions, such as the 16th-level actress Guan Xiaotong, and even a professor joined in the fun to ask him a question.

The final speech was of course seriously overtimed, and even the questions later took up more time.

There are still a lot of things involved in this speech, especially the questions in the back, which ask all kinds of questions, such as questions about movie themes, questions about career planning, and even questions about the choice of agency companies.

Of course, some people mentioned the "Li Jingkun Film Culture Center" that he just set up with a donation, and he said that everyone should study hard, and there will be opportunities for internships and work in Longqi Film and Television in the future.

Finally, there was another question that caused the whole auditorium to laugh, it was asked by a girl from the animation department, probably because Li Jingkun had stayed with them long enough today and felt very close, so he boldly asked him:

"Hello senior brother, I'm from the 16th grade animation department, and I want to ask you a question, that is, I saw the news before that someone saw you go to see Senior Sister Liu's parents during the Chinese New Year, so I want to ask if you are going to get married soon?"

"Hahaha!"

As soon as this question came up, the whole auditorium burst into laughter.

Okay, this girl is very bold, she dares to ridicule your senior brother and sister, right?

Punish you for two more copies of your homework!

······

Li Jingkun's return to his alma mater to donate money and give a speech can still attract a lot of attention, after all, he is a big man.

Not only did the media report on this incident, but many Beijing Film students also posted a lot of photos of the scene. Because Guan Xiaotong is a star student of grade 16, the scarf she sent has attracted more attention.

"Senior brother is really handsome! Today's speech was also very exciting, and my friends and I felt that it was very beneficial! I hope that my brother can come back to school to give lectures more often in the future@李景坤。 ”

Li Jingkun and Guan Xiaotong have not cooperated for the time being, but she has debuted many years longer than his, and she has met and chatted at some activities before, so the two know each other.

So after the speech, the two also chatted a few words separately and took a group photo, so at this time, Guan Xiaotong also posted a group photo, which soon attracted comments from many netizens.

"How much to go back? Your senior brother will spend 12 million once he goes back, and I think it's better to go back a few times. ”

"Hahaha, the right side is really a brain circuit! Is it okay for Li Jingkun to donate this money on his own initiative? If he doesn't want to take it, who can force him to donate money. ”

"Haha, the far right must be joking, and this is not the first time Li Jingkun has donated money to his alma mater, as far as I know, it should be the third time, right? It's just that I didn't donate that much last time. ”

"666, if you're serious, how long has he been graduating? So soon to become an outstanding alumnus of Beijing Film! It's too good! ”

“······ What's the matter with you who can't even praise people? Li Jingkun was an outstanding alumnus of the school before he graduated, okay? ”

"Doesn't anyone care about the content of the speech? Are there any video resources? I also want to hear Li Jingkun's speech! Who has the resources? ”

······

In late February, Li Jingkun flew to the headquarters of Netflix.

In addition to Liu Tianxian, assistants and bodyguards, the company's colleagues also brought a few, and colleagues from the legal department, marketing business department and film and television production department all went together, so that if the cooperation progressed, they could quickly negotiate other work or sign some contracts or something.

And Netflix learned that they were coming, and it was ready to greet them; The specifications were also very grand, and they were directly approached by Chief Product Officer Greg Peters.

On the Huaxia side, many people know that the salary conditions of Longqi Film and Television are very good, even in the film and television industry, where the remuneration is generally relatively high, Longqi Film and Television is also relatively famous.

The same is true for Netflix in the United States.

Their management believes that the entertainment industry is one of the fastest-changing industries at the cutting edge; The invention and development of any technology can bring about earth-shaking changes in the industry.

Therefore, in order to stay ahead of others and not lag behind others and other companies, in addition to keeping up with the pace of technology, they also need to continue to join excellent talents who can follow the trend and in all aspects!

And the best talent obviously needs the highest salaries in the entire industry.

In addition to choosing these talents and believing in these talents and partners, they give them a high degree of freedom in addition to giving money.

The collaborators of the country including Benzi and Bangzi have expressed the same opinion: Netflix is very happy to give money and gives a lot, but it will not interfere with your creation!

Of course, capitalists are in business and want to make a lot of money.

"Welcome to Netflix!"

But their desire for talents and good content can never be fake, so they are sincerely happy for the arrival of Li Jingkun, a great director.

······

Netflix received them in the company's reception room, and after each of them introduced them, Chief Product Officer Greg Peters smiled and said to Li Jingkun: "Actually, we already know the director's name, and I want to find a chance to get to know you." ”

"Haha, it seems that we have a heart." Li Jingkun said with a smile.

Greg Peters thought he didn't believe it, and continued:

"It's true, I'm not kidding, because Netflix's corporate strategy is to work with the world's top creators and creatives, and we have set up a lot of offices in Asia, and we will continue to focus on that side in the future to dig out more good ideas and stories.

And you are one of the best screenwriters and directors in China and even in Asia in recent years, so of course we are very interested in you.

It's important to note that your work isn't just popular in your home country, it's popular across Asia and even around the world, such as The Tuner, The Witch and The Little People.

It's just that because your personal career is also very big, we are not sure whether you will choose to cooperate with us. ”

"I see, we're doing pretty well on that, haha."

Li Jingkun nodded, and he was not humble with him.

He felt that what the other party said should be regarded as a bit of sincerity in it, because they are indeed looking for partners all over the world, they cooperate with Siam, cooperate with South America, and even in Africa, where they can't even squeeze oil, Netflix can find new people.

And he is really willing to spend money, and he can develop more than 100 original dramas in the next year!

This is more than ten times that of a Chinese company like HBO!

Thank you for your 100 coin tip support!

It's possible that I'm going to finish the book in the last month or two, and I don't feel like there's much to write about, and I may write about marriage and having children later, or maybe I'll leave these out of the picture.

In short, it may speed up some progress recently, and I feel that there is not much room for growth at the box office when the movie is written to this position.

Recently, I've been thinking about preparing a new book.
