Chapter 806 Goodbye Li An
Times have changed.
Li An is no longer the Li An as before. Because of the movie "Brokeback Mountain", Li An is now a very famous director in the United States.
Now Kim Jingcheng is no longer the same as Kim Jingcheng. Kim Jingcheng was just a college student at New York University. Now he has become an international singer in the name of MR and has achieved incredible achievements in South Korea under the name of Kim Jingcheng, let alone a large-scale face wave.
At present, Kim Jingcheng saw Li An again, and he couldn't help but think about the situation when he locked himself in the dormitory for half a month and devoted himself to creating the script "Brokeback Mountain". At that time, face Book had just been launched.
Jin Jingcheng couldn't help but think that he would hand over the script of "Brokeback Mountain" written by Li An for review in a cafe in New York. Thinking of Li An's praise of the script and his praise of him, thinking of handing over the script to Li An a few days later, Li An called him to go to the studio to get the royalties.
The remuneration paid by Li An at that time surprised Jin Jingcheng, which was a full 500,000 US dollars.
That was the first pot of gold he had earned since his rebirth. It was through this 500,000 US dollars that Jin Jingcheng invested in filming "The Legend of Ghosts", thus accumulating his initial entrepreneurial capital.
Therefore, in Jin Jingcheng's heart, Li An can be considered a benefactor.
Although Jin Jingcheng believed that even if he had not met Li An, the benefactor, he would sooner or later with his advantage of being reborn, the initial road would probably not be so smooth and smooth.
Li An is not only a benefactor in Jin Jingcheng's heart, but also his age-lost friend.
Now Kim Jingcheng has many friends, but there are only two friends who can be called a friend of age, one is Jang Chengyuan from South Korea and the other is Lee An, who is in the United States.
...
When Jin Jingcheng walked into the coffee shop box, Li An had already waited here in advance. It was not that Jin Jingcheng was rude, but because Li An took the initiative to make an appointment with him this time, and the meeting location was also arranged by Li An.
"Hello, mr, we're finally seeing each other." Li An greeted with a gentle smile.
Kim Jong-sung stretched out his arms and said with a smile: "Director, are we still friends of age?"
Li An smiled knowingly and hugged Jin Jingcheng gently, showing her easy-going and closeness.
The two of them immediately sat on the sofa chair.
The sofa chair visits by the window, and through the window, you can see the charming Hollywood street view outside.
Li An stared at Jin Jingcheng and sighed, "I still remember what you said back then. The only thing in the world that can withstand the destruction of time is talent. I am not afraid of you blaming you. At that time, I felt a little arrogant when you said this because you were too young, but now I understand that you are not called arrogant, but faith."
Jin Jingcheng smiled knowingly. This sentence was actually a famous saying by Lee An in his previous life. He was used by Jin Jingcheng.
Li An mentioned this now, undoubtedly praising Jin Jingcheng's achievements, and these achievements are closely related to his extraordinary talents.
Jin Jingcheng smiled and said, "Everyone has a Brokeback Mountain in his heart. Maybe it's a person or a thing. In short, you have poured all your feelings into trying to keep him, but you can't do it. Everyone has a deep mountain called 'formerly' that cannot be let go and can't go back."
Li An stared at Jin Jingcheng curiously. This passage was also a famous saying in Li An's previous life. It was directed at "Brokeback Mountain". It is still a famous saying in this life, because Jin Jingcheng did not use this passage for himself.
Li An knew that Jin Jingcheng suddenly said his famous saying, and there must be some information.
Sure enough, Jin Jingcheng immediately said: "The theme of the movie "Brokeback Mountain" is about the enthusiasm, persistence, waiting, fulfillment and torture of love. In fact, we all have such love in our hearts, which contains all kinds of: the scorching and brilliant heartbeat, the pain of not getting loved, the bitterness of having to give up, and the feeling of looking back on the past, forming the endless "Brokeback Mountain".
Jin Jingcheng said: "This 'Brokeback Mountain' stands in our hearts and remains unmoved. At any time, you will instantly think of the love you used to be! Everyone has something you love, but you are afraid of losing it. The reason why I can achieve some achievements at a young age is mainly because I love my talents deeply and cherish life very much."
This was something that Jin Jingcheng and Li An knew about it, but Jin Jingcheng was just thinking about it in his heart, but now he said it directly to Li An.
Li An pondered for a while, then understood what Jin Jingcheng meant, and said with a smile: "Although I haven't seen you for a long time, every time I see you and chat with you, I feel beautiful and interesting."
Jin Jingcheng smiled: "This is my honor."
Li An immediately got to the point, but he took out a check from his pocket and handed it to Jin Jingcheng, and said elegantly: "There are 500,000 US dollars here, which is my compensation for you in the script "Brokeback Mountain".
Jin Jingcheng was stunned for a moment and suddenly realized, feeling moved and warm.
When Li An bought Jin Jingcheng's script "Brokeback Mountain" and paid 500,000 US dollars. Although this was equivalent to the remuneration of famous Hollywood screenwriters and even some big-name screenwriters, Li An was still sorry for this, because in his opinion, Jin Jingcheng's script is worth more than 500,000 US dollars, and he is a person who is unwilling to take advantage of it.
Li An said to Jin Jingcheng at the beginning: "The movie "Brokeback Mountain" is not only too artistic, but also has topical debates. The investors will not invest too much money, and the total investment is probably only more than 10 million US dollars, so I can only give you so much, but don't worry, if "Brokeback Mountain" has a good box office in the future, I will compensate you as much as possible."
"Brokeback Mountain" has been released for a while now. Although the box office is not very good, it has been a profit for the investment in "Brokeback Mountain". Moreover, both investors and Li An firmly believe that "Brokeback Mountain", which has won multiple nominations at the upcoming Oscars, will definitely win, which will drive a counterattack in the box office.
In addition, the script of "Brokeback Mountain" has indeed been widely praised. Recently, it has won the Best Screenwriter and has been shortlisted for the Best Change Screenwriter of the Academy Awards, with a high chance of winning.
Therefore, Li An wanted to compensate the royal remuneration of 500,000 US dollars.
Jin Jingcheng looked at the check, did not accept it, and said frankly: "Director, I am very satisfied with the royalties you gave me at the beginning. I can't ask for the compensation now."
Chapter completed!
