The 481st chapter gives birth to a confident Korean filmmaker
"Is your sword heavier, or is it your past?"
"..."
The performance is still going on, and the next scene is the highlight. However, with the acting abilities of these three people and Lin Juan sitting in charge, the filming was also orderly.
After finishing the work, we continued shooting the next day and completed the scenes day by day according to the notice list until five days passed and Liu Xing's scene was completed.
Although he played multiple roles, he was only responsible for some complex literary dramas. He was not required to shoot martial arts dramas and some simple literary dramas.
On the day after the filming was completed, Lin Juan ended work early and held a simple farewell banquet for him to thank him for his hard work these days. At the dinner table, Liu Xing asked: "Director Lin, the Golden Rooster and Hundred Flowers Awards are about to be won, as well as the Golden Dragon."
Prize, you really don’t want to go?”
"I'm not going. You see, I don't have time." Lin Juan said with a carefree smile, what kind of prize should I participate in... How can I be comfortable at home? That kind of occasion is what those who pursue fame and fortune long for. Lin Juan has long since stopped
He needs it, and besides, he has never pursued fame and fortune. Fame and fortune come to him on their own. He is also very confused.
"Okay, but I can't see you every time, and some people will be disappointed again. If any award ceremony can invite you now, it will be better." Liu Xing said with a smile, and some people in his mouth said
It was just to test the person who got involved with Lin Juan, but in fact, from Lin Juan's point of view, it was very easy to pay attention to him.
Show your work and if you perform well, he will come to you.
Li Qingyu smiled on the side. What she was thinking about was that she once again forced Lin Juan to attend the award ceremony, but Lin Juan didn't get the award afterwards. This made her have a deep prejudice against those awards. In fact, she just
He just wants to see Lin Juan get the honor that belongs to him.
Although Lin Juan later won with "The End of the World" and proved his strength, this kind of thing will be remembered by Li Qingyu for the rest of his life.
If a woman is really offended, the consequences will not be fun.
"Okay, let's not talk about this. Come on, let me toast you and thank you for your guest appearance these days." Lin Juan took the initiative to raise the wine glass, but it was only filled with orange juice. Li Qingyu suspected that Lin Juan was allergic to alcohol, although it was nothing.
Severe reaction, but still don't let him drink much.
Liu Xing smiled and joked: "Hey, Director Lin, you are just scolding me. There are so many people who want to guest star in your movie, so why thank me?"
A Beijing accent with a unique flavor.
But it’s true. If Lin Juan’s movie were looking for guest actors, a lot of people would be rushing to come.
The meal dispersed after nearly an hour. Liu Xing would leave tonight. Lin Juan personally sent him off in the evening. He and this group of people had not only a working relationship, but also became real friends. After sending Liu Xing away,
Lin Juan continued to shoot with peace of mind, and the actors came in one by one.
The team left again. After the special effects company received the materials shot by Lin Juan, they started production at full speed. The progress was very fast. In comparison, Baozi, who was also shooting 3D animation, was a bit struggling. The progress of "Nezha"
It's still far away, at least next year.
While Lin Juanan was filming, the international success of several consecutive Chinese films brought Chinese films into more people's sights, and also gave some people hope...
South Korea, EM Film Company, is the largest film company in South Korea. It is backed by the capital injection of Samsung Group and controls more than 30% of the theaters in South Korea. It also controls other media, not to mention video websites and the like.
, the resource channels are all top-notch.
On November 20th, in the production department of the EM Building, all the busy clerks were greeting a middle-aged man who was passing by.
"Hello, Fenghao PD."
"senior."
"Good afternoon pd."
The middle-aged man is Bong Ho. He is forty-five years old and is in his prime. He is one of the top directors in South Korea. His films have countless fans throughout Asia and he is a signature figure in the Korean film industry.
He greeted people all the way to an office, opened the door and shouted: "Brother, I want to discuss something with you."
There was also a middle-aged man in the office. He was reading documents. When he looked up and saw Feng Hao, the anger on his face suddenly turned into a helpless smile. In a hierarchical place like South Korea, if someone dared to push away without saying hello,
He would just smash the documents in his hand at his door.
What is the difference between this and coming in without consent? This is rape!
Do you still have any concept of dignity and inferiority?! What a fool.
"What Shi Fenghao, do you have any ideas for a new movie?" Chi Zhen closed the file and asked with a smile.
"Yes, I have decided to make a super blockbuster! Brother, have you watched "Transformers" and have you observed the fans' reactions?" Feng Hao first went to pour two cups of tea and asked while pouring the tea.
"Nay, of course, of course you have to watch this movie." Chi Zhen nodded and said.
"Transformers" represents a different meaning. Although the script is still written by Lin Jian, he is not the one who filmed it, which means that other Chinese directors can also produce shocking Chinese-style blockbusters! There are everywhere in it
The Chinese elements make people understand China better and get closer to China.
Apart from anything else, after the release of "Transformers", there were a lot of posts discussing China on the Korean Internet. Many Koreans said that China was already so developed and was not as poor as North Korea as they imagined. Their technology, culture,
His unique character model is completely different from those shown in American blockbusters.
At the beginning of the movie, there are the well-trained soldiers who are brave enough to do their mission, the humorous protagonist in the back, the campus culture that is contrary to American culture, those skyscrapers, and all kinds of advanced technologies...
All of this is conveying a message to the outside world. This is China today! It is as impactful and confident as the message posted by that man on Instagram.
It was after watching "Transformers" that Bong Hao made up his mind that he also wanted to make a Korean-style blockbuster!
"Brother, we can't lose. Now Korean movie fans are looking forward to a movie like this, our own Korean superhero and our own blockbuster. This is also the only way for Korean movies to go international." Feng Hao's eyes showed.
Shining with persistence and determination.
"Fenghao, I know what you're thinking, but do you have a budget? You know, if you shoot a blockbuster, our domestic box office market alone cannot recover the cost." Chi Zhen said seriously.
The current ticket price of Korean movies is 8,000 won, which is roughly equivalent to seven US dollars and forty-eight yuan. If the cost of a blockbuster movie is US$100 million, which is the minimum, then it will require at least 118 billion won.
According to the calculation of at least three times the box office to return the cost, the filming would cost at least 354 billion won.
What does it equal? According to South Korea's calculation method, it requires 44.25 million moviegoers, which is almost the same as the total population of South Korea. This is also the reason why they have never been able to make blockbusters. Market constraints.
The box office of more than 2 billion yuan is nothing for Chinese blockbusters. If they are well filmed locally, they can make back their money. The total investment of the "Fengshen" trilogy directed by Wu Shan is 3 billion yuan. This is the courage and determination of a big country.
The gap between small countries.
"If I don't dare to shoot, there will be no blockbusters in Korea." Bong Ho said firmly.
"Besides, those Chinese directors can do it, why can't we? We are always better than them, aren't we?"
Chi Zhen was silent for a moment. During this period, he was thinking, is Feng Hao the Lin Jian of China? Can he lead Korean movies to the world? Or can he lead em to the world?
The temptation is too great! If there is hope for such a director in Korea, it must be Bong Ho.
Finally, he sighed helplessly and asked: "Okay, do you have an idea for the script? What is the approximate budget? Those people are not as easily convinced as me."
"And it's Christmas soon, and China's new movie "Resident Evil" will be released soon. We will make a decision then." Chi Zhen said, it is not easy to convince the company to invest such a large sum of money. For them, it is not easy.
, more than 10 billion won is already considered a big investment in a movie, but now at least more than 50 billion won is needed to invest in one movie...
What was the largest film investment in Korea in the past?
Forty billion won, about more than 200 million yuan. This kind of investment is more than enough to film a costume drama and TV series in China. There have been Korean stars filming in China before, and a variety show came to visit the cast. The investment in one TV series exceeded the investment in South Korea.
The championship even aroused admiration in South Korea at that time, saying that it deserves to be from mainland China...
In response to this, mainland netizens said that they are a bunch of ignorant people who are very strange...
However, the purpose of South Korea has always been to spend a small amount of money to achieve big things, so it is not surprising.
"Okay, thank you brother. I already have a rough idea of the script and have written part of it. It's about a white-collar worker in a company who has gained ghost powers. But by accident, he discovered that someone was conducting genetic experiments in Seoul. Several people have appeared.
Victims, some people in their organization also have supernatural abilities..." Feng Hao explained his script in general, and Chi Zhen nodded secretly as he listened.
It is very in line with the domestic situation in South Korea, and it is also consistent with Bong Hao's usual style, which is crime, urban, blockbuster, and culturally also has Korean characteristics. And if the response is good, this subject can also be filmed later to form a series or movie universe.
It sounds good and should be able to convince some directors to invest.
Since the rise of Lin Juan, every famous and powerful film and television company in the world wants to develop a film universe belonging to their own company. Directors have also relied on this aspect. Even Wen Ziyi said that he is filming a supernatural universe...
The matter was finalized, and finally Fenghao said ambitiously: "Brother, I will definitely bring our Korean movies to the world and create a movie universe that transcends the alliance! Let Korean movies become the mainstream and spread all over the world!"
Chi Zhen nodded happily and continued to discuss the details with Feng Hao. He had a premonition that with the rise of Chinese movies, the world's box office market, which was previously monopolized by American blockbusters, would be severely impacted. It might be an era where a hundred flowers bloom.
, then why can’t Korean movies join the competition?
The Korean Wave has always been popular throughout Asia!!
On the other hand, Lin Juan also received an invitation to the premiere of "Resident Evil".
If he knew that the success of "Transformers" gave a bunch of Korean filmmakers confidence, he would probably feel dumbfounded. As for the challenge...
Lin Juan expressed that he would like to invite the next genius.
