It's cool in Cannes in the early morning, especially after the rain.

Xu Fei stood on the balcony of the room, looking at the sea and the white awnings not far away, and felt full of energy. After standing for a while, he felt that something was wrong, and entered the bathroom with the pendulum, and he was very complacent.

At the age of 35, you can still have a morning erection, and whoever is comfortable with it.

Brushing his teeth and washing his face, shaving, and suddenly looking in front of the mirror, there were obviously a few gray hairs in his sideburns......

"Hey!"

Xu Fei wanted to pull it but didn't do it, forget it, he is 35 years old after all.

Slowly the sun came out, and he ordered breakfast to eat on the terrace while reading the Cannes House Magazine. It was probably yesterday's heavy rain, which led to chaos and incompetent management, and many reporters complained.

After drinking the last bit of coffee, I felt that I was in just the right state.

Put on a suit and go out, go to the appointment alone, and hail a taxi to the hotel ten minutes away. Not in the conference room, a large suite, the door opened by Allen of the Locomotive Company.

"Mr. Xu, how are you doing?"

"All good, it's nice to see you again. ”

He entered the house and greeted Lao Song and Yasuda, almost front and back, Seo Young-so also arrived, followed by a woman.

Very tall, black and straight, with a pure and sweet smile, not smiling and very dignified, eyebrows and eyes have the unique taste of Korean women.

Yo!

Xu Fei blinked, and he might know her by himself.

"This is Miss Choi Ji-woo, a very good newcomer. ”

"Hello!"

"Hello!"

Lao Song is excited, is he finally going to entertain?

He glanced at Xu Fei, tsk, in vain for the Son of Man!

Choi Ji-woo will be 25 years old, a little newcomer, who has not yet performed "Winter Love Song" and "Stairway to Heaven", and sat obediently behind Seo Young-so after shaking hands.

It is not the side, it is a slightly backward position.

Yasuda didn't say anything, and he sometimes brought a female star to talk about things.

Alan did the east, took out a box of tea, and said with a smile: "You Orientals love tea, I specially bought some high-end goods, you help me taste them." ”

“......”

Seo Young-so made a look, and Choi Ji-you hurriedly took over the work and poured water to make tea.

"Oh, thanks. ”

Alan handed it to her casually and said, "After Berlin, Mr. Song has been communicating with me, and I have been communicating with Hardy. The result was very unpleasant, and Cactus still wanted to turn it into a Hollywood movie and decided to withdraw from the project.

But I was struck by Mr. Song, and his pan-Asian plan was fantastic. I also think that the film is more suitable for the Asian market, so I asked you to come and talk about how to work together. ”

"What about your company......"

"We are responsible for the North American distribution of the film, as well as the global distribution. Of course, I don't hide that Lokomotiv doesn't have the ability to distribute it globally, but we will work with Sony Classics to try to release it in as many countries as possible. ”

Seo Young-so's eyes lit up instantly.

For Koreans, being able to release in North America is a victory!

Yasuda was also very moved.

On the surface, Columbia has been acquired by Sony, so Japanese films will be released casually.

Actually, no, a movie with no quality is released blindly, which is to discredit yourself. And Sony is in Hollywood, so it has to abide by Hollywood's play.

"Shall we go one by one?"

Lao Song, as the proposer and advocate of the project, presided over the overall situation and said: "First of all, where the story takes place, I admit that Hong Kong's geographical advantages are insufficient, what are your opinions?"

"Of course in Korea! I have already communicated with all parties that if I shoot in Korea, I will definitely give the best shooting conditions.

We also have a well-developed train system, 10 years ago, the railway mileage reached 51,000 kilometers, and there is plenty of room for depth......"

"There are Shinkansen lines in Japan. ”

"We ......"

"Shinkansen. ”

Your sister!

Yasuda easily grabbed the conversation and said, "If you want to talk about development, of course, it is our Japanese railway system.

In addition to the world-famous Shinkansen, we also have a large number of general, rapid, express, and limited express, as well as a large number of local and regional private railways.

We can shoot whatever train we want.

Japan has a large number of train fans, and a culture has developed that are potential audiences. Not to mention, we're the second largest film market in the world!"

KO！

Seo Young-so: ○| ̄|_

There is no way, Korean films that have just emerged and have not yet risen have the lowest voice in the negotiations.

For example, at this Cannes, "The Legend of Chunhyang" directed by Lim Kwon-taek is the first Korean film to enter the official competition unit. And China and Japan have already won the Palme d'Or.

Allen saw that Seo Young-so was autistic, and said, "Let this one go first, and then the next one." ”

"The next item is special effects, and Mr. Allen will help connect with Hollywood's top special effects companies. In fact, the special effects of this film are of a very low level, mainly in makeup and zombie action design.

The special effects are mostly used outside of the train, which is the part of the exterior set. ”

"Yes!"

"Yes!"

"That continues, director, Tsui Hark. ”

"Against!"

Yasuda took the lead in saying: "There are also many excellent and well-known directors in Japan, such as Takeshi Kitano, Yoji Yamada, Yuki Mitani, and Shohei Imamura......"

"Are you sure they want to make a zombie movie?" asked Lao Song rhetorically.

"Uh......"

Yasuda is embarrassed, because the situation of Japanese movies is very embarrassing, and the technology tree is completely crooked.

Either go to warmth and sadness, "Guide Dog Little Q", "Love Letter", "Calling for Love in the Center of the World"

Or go to the cult and Cult, "The Sewer Mermaid", "Killer Ah Yi", "Female Prisoner No. 701"

Or go to cartoons, "Spirited Away", "Your Name", "My Neighbor Totoro"

Either go to the indescribable, Mikami, Angel, Hashimoto......

They won't make purely commercial blockbusters, just look at the box office rankings, five of the top ten are animated films, three are Hollywood blockbusters, and there is only one local live-action movie, "Jumping the Search Line 2".

is still born out of Japanese dramas.

So Yasuda thought about it for a long time and said, "Then I recommend Shinji Fukasaku ("Battle Royale"), or Kiyoshi Kurosawa ("X Seiji"). ”

"Against!"

Seo Young-so followed: "We also have many excellent directors in Korea, like, like Lim Kwon-taek, Lee Chang-dong, Kim Ki-deok, ......"

His voice is relatively weak, Park Chan-wook and Bong Joon-ho have just debuted, and they haven't carried the flag yet, so they can't come up with decent people.

"You're also art film directors, aren't you? ”

Lao Song shook his head and continued: "In terms of actors, children are not counted, there are four leading actors, male protagonists, pregnant women, fighters, and villains.

I think Leslie Cheung can be the male lead, and the pregnant woman is played by Gong Li. ”

"No, no, no, since it was filmed in Japan, it was natural to use Japanese actors......"

"When did you decide to shoot in Japan? South Korea is completely fine!" said Seo Young-so.

Rie Yasuda ignored it and said: "We can provide Yuji Oda, Takuya Kimura, Masaharu Fukuyama, Takako Matsu, Rie Miyazawa, Nanako Matsushima, Yuki Uchida, etc., all of whom are the most popular actors in the country." ”

"No! This drama can't have a certain regional color, the Japanese film style is too prominent, and not everyone likes your style.

What we want to do is to make the vast majority of the audience adapt to the commonality!"

"We are the second largest market in the world!"

"But you don't represent the only market! This film has to be distributed to Pan Asia and even the world!

In Asia, is Oda Yuji as popular as Leslie Cheung? In the world, is Takako Matsu as famous as Gong Li?"

“......”

The momentum is pressing, and the tension is tense for a while.

Seo Young-so weakly repeated: "In fact, there are many excellent actors in South Korea, like Choi Min-sik, Song Kang-ho, Lee Byung-hun ......"

No one paid any attention to it.

Xu Fei, the male protagonist of passers-by, drank tea, stayed out of the matter, and looked at Cui Zhiyou vigorously.

Lao Song leaned back, learning from Mr. Xu's eight points: "Mr. Yasuda, let me remind you, it's not me who asked you to cooperate, it was you who took the initiative to ask me to cooperate!"

I don't see any sincerity on your part, your sincerity is not as good as Representative Xu, and I can handle this project with Representative Xu. ”

Sizzle!

Seo Young-so was flattered, Yasuda frowned tightly, how could it be repaired!

He understands the role of the Koreans, and the damn is forcing himself to give in!
