In July, Li Jingkun finished the filming of "Operation Red Sea" and returned to Kyoto.

At present, even if the movie is completed, there are still a lot of things to be busy with.

The first is the post-production of Operation Red Sea, but the work such as rough cuts will be handed over to colleagues in the company first.

The second is the preparation progress of "Knives Out", which also needs to be completed this year.

The third is the preparation of the TV series "Rear Wing Abandonment". Among the three TV series cooperating with Netflix, we are going to start filming this one first, and we will be preparing "Knives Out" in the United States just then, so it can be carried out at the same time.

When "Operation Red Sea" had not yet been completed, Sheng Yuan took some of his employees to take the lead in New York.

They rented an office, and at the same time recruited some staff for the crew of "Knives Out" and began preliminary preparations.

This office will currently be the temporary office of Longqi Film and Television in New York, where they will carry out film and television production work for the past six months.

In fact, these are also familiar with the road, and when they came here to make movies before, many colleagues went on business trips here, so now for many of them, it is just a basic exercise. Many people also speculate that if the cooperation with Netflix is successful, maybe this temporary office will become a permanent ······

Longqi Film and Television has long been one of the top film and television companies in China, needless to say, there are many branches in China, such as Modu, Yangzhou and Xiangjiang, etc., first-tier cities are indispensable.

In the future, for the development of the cause and the needs of the business, some offices or branches will also be set up in other countries and regions, such as this New Zealand, for example, one will be set up in the country of sticks.

In addition to the three most important jobs, Li Jingkun will also take a look at other company projects and take a few looks. For example, the refined cut version of "Wolf Warrior 2" has already come out, and he also took a look, and it is not much different from the work in his impression, so he is waiting for them to finish cutting the final version.

"The Wandering Earth" director Guo Fan has already started, this is also a big production, and it has been prepared for a long time; Now even if the film is turned on, it is difficult to finish it in four or five months, and at the same time, many actors have not yet been determined, even the actor Wu Jing just mentioned it to him.

In addition, he has been very busy recently, so he will work on other things for the time being.

There are a lot of special effects in this movie, and Guo Fan and they are very serious and hard.

"I Am Not the God of Medicine" has already been completed, and Li Jingkun also took the time to watch it once before, but there are so many professional people staring, Ning Hao, Xu Zheng, etc., so there is no big problem, and it is currently in post-production.

In addition to being responsible for some production work, Xu Zheng is also preparing for the sequel movie "Embarrassing Mother".

Ning Hao also has his own movies to be directed, starring Huang Bo, Shen Teng and Xu Zheng.

Baixi is also speeding up its pace, and has now submitted a listing application to see how long the process will take.

There are also a lot of projects of Baixi this year, "God of Medicine", "Embarrassing Mother" and Ning Hao's new works are all works of Baixi Media, in addition to "Later Us", "Where Did Time Go", "It's Nice to Meet You" and "Embroidered Spring Knife 2" - "Embroidered Spring Knife 2" is about to be released!

······

When Li Jingkun arrived in the United States, the first thing he did was not to work, but to visit Selena.

This year, she contracted lupus erythematosus, which affected her organs and was severe enough to require a kidney transplant. Fortunately, a good girlfriend of mine matched her very successfully, so she successfully replaced a kidney.

However, this is a major surgery after all, and even if the kidney replacement is successful, it will not recover so quickly, and special attention needs to be paid to the postoperative rejection and the state of kidney function. I had another operation because of the torsion of the kidney in the body······

At present, she is recovering fairly well and has been transferred to the home, but she still needs to stay in bed for a while and cannot move around at will.

Naturally, the family hired several medical staff to take care of her, and psychologists came to her regularly every week to provide psychological counseling to prevent her from suffering from depression and anxiety.

"I'm sorry, I've been filming movies in Morocco before, so I can't come to visit you at the first time."

Since they are all said to be friends, now that my friend has such a big illness, he was almost on the verge of death before, so as a Chinese person, it is impossible for a friend not to go and see if he is sick.

I was working in a foreign country a while ago, and I called her when I learned the news, and now I'm in the United States, and it's the most basic etiquette to visit.

"Thank you, I've been in a bad state lately, I'm really surprised and happy to come to see me!"

Selena was really surprised and moved, she called her before, and now she comes directly to the door.

She did feel comforted, and she was very insecure during this time, so she was really happy to have a good friend to visit her.

And Li Jingkun is really sure that she is not greedy for her money or anything like that, unlike some relatives and friends, even she herself is not sure whether she is sincere to herself or for her own money.

"Rest well, recover well, your fans are waiting for you to cheer up sooner."

"Haha, no problem, then when I get better, you'll have to help me write a few more songs!"

"No problem, the sooner you recover your health, you can help me make more money!"

"Hahaha!"

Selena smiled very happily, of course she understood that Li Jingkun was joking with her - he is now a wealthy man with assets of more than 4.1 billion meters, where can he see the share of the money earned by writing lyrics and songs?

Even if she starts touring, she can make a lot of money, but he can do it by collaborating with other singers!

But now he was ready to wait for her to recover and then work with her!

Therefore, Selena had a very happy day on this day, although Li Jingkun didn't spend much time at home, but she was still very happy at night. She also told Taylor, who had gone to see her, about it.

"Wow, you're a step late, if you come early, maybe you can meet our super-rich man and see those flowers and fruits on the table?" That's what he brought. ”

"Who?"

Taylor is indeed a little curious, there are not many people who can be called rich in front of her, right?

Isn't my big Taylor a rich man?

"Kane Lee, Lee Kyung-kun. He came to see me in the afternoon and talked to me for a while. He was very comforting and I am grateful for his visit today. ”

"He's coming to the United States? Filming again? ”

Taylor was indeed a little surprised, in fact, she also wanted to have more contact with Li Jingkun and get to know each other more, but unfortunately the other party seemed to be more focused on the market in her own country, and it seemed that she really didn't plan to work Omicia.

"Yes, it's going to make a movie and a TV series here. By the way, it's still a collaboration with Netflix, that TV series. ”

"Netflix? Is he going to work with them on a TV series? It really surprised me. ”

"Yes, his accomplishments in his career are truly amazing – but he's such a good person, and it's only natural that God would make him so successful, right?"

“······”

Taylor sat on the edge of the bed, looking at her a little speechlessly.

She'd been here for a while tonight, and Selena had been talking to her about a man.

Although she herself was quite interested in him.

Netflix is also a giant in the United States! So what kind of magic does he have to keep working with these big companies?

Li Jingkun is indeed too mysterious and powerful, and he can indeed arouse women's interest!

······

There are no complicated reasons why Li Jingkun went to visit Selena, one is indeed because they regard each other as friends, so according to the normal etiquette of Chinese people, it is normal to visit each other.

The other is because in the next few years, I will make more money on the side of Omi, and there is only benefit and no harm in maintaining a few powerful and influential friends.

It is always right to be kind to others, and those who have attained the Tao will be more helpful.

And after watching Selena, I also went to Shimen Company and Netflix the next day, although each other's staff have been in contact recently. But he himself can go over and meet with their high-level leaders, and there is only benefit to chatting.

"Knives Out" is also one of the producers, but the proportion is relatively small, maybe not very confident in this genre, right?

However, I was still quite interested in its distribution work, so in order to successfully win the distribution rights of Omics, I symbolically participated in some of them.

Li Jingkun doesn't care either, but it's good that the other party can take the name of a joint production, so that he can act on his own later.

In addition to the fact that Longqi Film and Television itself is not short of money, there are a large number of domestic companies that want to participate in investment at a premium - they are optimistic about his influence in China and Asia, and feel that even if the quality is almost bad this time, they will not hit the street - every big director and big star has at least one chance to hit the street willfully, but it is difficult to say the second or third time.

Actually refer to the greenhouse, although "Pancake Man" was relatively poor before, the box office was still very high. This is because the previous fame was big enough that fans believed him once.

But that's just this time, and the second time, "The Sewing Machine Band", which obviously improved a lot in quality, was even worse at the box office than the first time.

Fortunately, unlike other cross-border directors, the works behind the greenhouse are even better than the other; He is also a very powerful and resilient person.

······

Niu Yue's office was set up before he came, and "Knives Out" and "Abandoned Soldiers on the Rear Wing" were also hung out very early, and the Shimen Company also did some work together. Therefore, when Li Jingkun came to New York, whether it was "Knives Out" or "Abandoned Soldiers in the Rear Wing", he received a lot of resumes from actors.

Sheng Yuan had already had someone send it to his computer, so he looked at the actor's profile on the first day of work.

Of course, it is still the priority of "Knives Out".

The result feels pretty good, the competition for several main roles is quite fierce, and among the interested people, there are some second-tier or even first-line actors.

"Definitely, now your fame is quite big here, and Longqi Film and Television is currently one of the top two giants in Huaxia, many of them have heard of it - now when it comes to Huaxia Film and Television Company, it is still quite famous." Sheng Yuan sat opposite Li Jingkun and said with a smile.

"Ha, it is estimated that Wang Jianlin of Yida Movies has contributed a lot to this, right?" Hearing Sheng Yuan's last words, Li Jingkun also laughed.

In 16 years, Yida spent almost one of Li Jingkun's assets (3.5 billion meters of knife) to acquire Legendary Pictures of the United States, which caused a huge sensation in both Huaxia and Omi.

People in China think that this Yida movie is really going to heaven, and it is such a steak that it is going to buy the United States company?

Omi was also shocked here, I don't know when Huaxia Company was so powerful? To enter Hollywood, to buy Hollywood?

It's a pity that after more than half a year of vigorous trouble, it was finally announced in August that the acquisition would be suspended.

The ostensible reason is that "the securities market environment has undergone great changes, and then choosing the opportunity for mergers and acquisitions is more conducive to protecting the interests of small and medium-sized shareholders". The actual reasons for this are varied.

Many people said that they would have to pay Legendary Pictures a lot of money if they voluntarily terminated the acquisition.

But the bad luck is not only that, the global box office of "The Great Wall", which cost 250 million yuan on production and publicity, is only 332 million yuan, which is also a lot of money.

In March 17, Yida's plan to acquire DCP failed; Because of the default, they paid a termination fee of 25 million meters to the DCP side.

Then in July this year, Yida Film announced that its stock was suspended······

"It's not entirely for this reason.,It also has a certain relationship with the market environment of Hollywood in recent years.,There are too few original works here in recent years.,The market is full of big IP sequels.,Basically, the top ten on the box office list every year are occupied by sequel works.,There is basically no original IP.。

All companies tend to take a conservative strategy, dare not take risks, and only make easy money, so this has also led to a decline in the resources of many actors, and it is difficult to find good projects that suit them in the market. ”

Sheng Yuan said a lot, which made Li Jingkun a little surprised: "Yes, it seems that you have done a good job in the past month, and you know the market very well?" ”

“······ Anyway, I'm also the vice president of Longqi Film and Television now, okay? In fact, since you started working on "Little People", Deze and I have also started to set our sights on the global market. Sheng Yuan couldn't help laughing, "Actually, I didn't expect that one day I would come to the United States to start a business." ”

"Ha, so you feel the same way as me? I just came in today and I also feel this way, as if I have started a new business here in the United States. ”

Sheng Yuan said with a smile: "Yes, but the beginning of our business this time was too smooth, we just rented an office, and the actor information floated over like snowflakes." ”

Also, this time it's like starting a business, and it's not like starting a business, because it's really effortless, and a lot of people are begging to come to the door to find jobs and find cooperation.

In addition to the fact that there are not many good opportunities, Li Jingkun, Longqi Film and Television, and Shimen Company are all well-known recruitment, so they can naturally attract others to seek opportunities.

"Are all the heroes here?"

Li Jingkun looked at the actor's information while chatting, and after looking around, he asked Sheng Yuan.

"I've definitely screened a lot, but the second tier and above are all here - why, don't you see the right one? Or do you already have a crush? ”

"Of course, when have you ever seen me fight an unprepared battle?" Li Jingkun put down the information and said, "You help me send an invitation to the English actor who plays 007 and ask him if he is interested in coming here to audition for our leading actor." ”

"Daniel Craig?" Sheng Yuan was a little surprised, "Knives Out" is a suspense film, right? Is he a big hunk fit for the role?

"Yes, of course it's the youngest one, could it be the one who played "British Showdown" with Brother Long?"

Brother Long's movie is still being filmed, but after "Kung Fu Yoga" ruined its reputation last time, will this movie get the same fate in China as the original time and space······

······

"An Asian director who is ready to make an English-style film, but tells a story that takes place in the United States?"

The next day, Daniel Craig, who got the news from his agent Ryan, was also surprised, he didn't expect that anyone would ask him to make a detective film, let alone that the components of the film would be so strange.

"Actually, this movie was quite famous among my peers a while ago, and I noticed it, but at the time I also felt that it was completely inconsistent with your style, so I didn't recommend it to you."

"Huh." Hearing Ryan say that his "style is completely inconsistent" with himself, although he understands that he is only superficial and has a pertinent evaluation, he also feels a little unhappy, because many years ago when he was preparing to make the 007 series of movies, almost all fans in Hollywood and England also thought that he was "completely inconsistent in style" with Bond.

"Even so, since the other party values me so much, I have to give the other party a chance to meet, don't I? Anyway, I don't have any good projects in the last year or two! ”

The landlord's family has no surplus food!

Daniel Craig also has the feeling of "success and failure", and the role of "007" made him famous all over the world, but of course it also limited some of his own development.

It's also a bit difficult to break the stereotype of an agent again, and in recent years, there have really been too few original works by Hollywood, so it's normal that he won't be able to find a good project that suits him.
