Chapter 715: Telephone Appearance and Meeting
At Christmas, Qinghe sent a car to pick up the husband and wife.
When I got in the car, I saw that there were a lot of people, in addition to Mr. Wang, there were assistants and colleagues from the film department who walked forward together.
This time I went to South Korea, and two things were more important.
If the movie can be discussed, then Su Yan will be busy for at least half a year, and the cooperation with CBS will have to recoordinate the time, and the other party should also agree, only a deposit of 30 million US dollars will be given, and the rest will be paid off after the production begins.
In addition, participating in the SBC's performing arts awards is mainly to increase feelings, and by the way, to promote "The Birth of a Family", the copyright has not been sold this year.
"The negotiation time with screenwriter Lee Sang-geun is at eight o'clock in the evening, a coffee shop in Myeongdong, it is expected that in about three hours, Lin Qiang will pick you up at Yuna's house at seven o'clock, and the changed script has also been printed, and a few of us are staying in a nearby hotel, and the next day's itinerary starts at three o'clock, and we need to make up..."
"Is Lao Hu in South Korea?" asked Su Yan.
"Well, I went two days ago. Mr. Wang replied.
"Okay, let's talk about it in the evening and see what the situation is, and then contact him. ”
"What do you mean that Miss Lee Hyo-ri invited you to Jeju Island?"
Su Yan glanced at Yun'er: "Forget it, this time the time is urgent, it is estimated that it is too late, what time is our annual meeting." ”
"On the 31st, New Year's Eve, there was really no time. Mr. Wang nodded: "I'll talk to her." ”
Lin Xiaoyun took over: "I'll go and explain to Sister Xiaoli." ”
"It's okay, her homestay shooting has come to an end. Lao Wang reminded.
"Is that filming now?"
"You wait for me to ask, Fan Qifeng seems to be there to help. ”
Mr. Wang took out his mobile phone and operated: "It's filming, if you call now, I'll ask him to talk to the director." ”
The meaning is very clear, Yuna wants her voice to appear on the camera.
Lee Hyori and his wife also starred in their own show at that time, but because of time constraints, they couldn't go over in person, and making a phone call was also a courtesy exchange.
Soon, when there was still half an hour away from the airport, the other party gave a reply, and now the timing is just right.
The car became quiet.
Yuna took out her phone and turned on the speakerphone.
"Yun'er, what's the matter, did you quarrel with Director Su?"
"Haniha..."Lin Xiaoyun's greeting was only halfway through, and she laughed, this sister really didn't play according to the routine: "No, I'm very good with Oba." ”
"Who, Yun'a?" another male voice came out.
"Senior Li Shangshun, I'm Yun'er. ”
"Oh, hello Yun'a. Li Shangshun's tone sounded in a good mood.
"Are you busy?" asked Lin Xiaoyun knowingly.
"Oh, I'm filming "Hyori's Homestay" right now, why don't you say hello to the audience first?" Lee Hyo-ri has been reminded by the director.
"Hello domestic audience friends, I'm Lin Yun'er, I haven't seen you for a long time, I miss it very much. ”
Not to mention, professional is professional, although there is no camera to shoot, but her facial expressions are consistent with her words, in addition to wearing this smile, she also waved her little hand.
Because the movie has not yet been decided, it can't be mentioned for the time being, or it can be regarded as a small publicity.
"I'm sorry, sister, this time back to Korea is too tight, I can only stay for four days, and I may not have time to visit you on Jeju Island, but I told Oba that I will visit you again during the Chinese New Year. ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's just your junior, Kim Ji-yeon from Lovelyz, who works here. ”
"Hello Yun'a-senpai, I'm Kai!" a sweet voice came.
We talked for ten minutes before we put down the phone.
The showbiz is like this, help each other, no one will dislike their friends, after all, personal power is limited, it is impossible to take it all, and it is always a good thing for multiple artists to help promote when launching works.
Because it was winter, there were a lot of people wearing masks and hats, and Su Yan and the others did not attract attention, and they arrived in Seoul, South Korea smoothly.
"Alright, let's go over by ourselves and get in touch in the evening. Several people parted ways.
Yuna didn't bother others, and directly took a taxi and went home.
The old father-in-law had already prepared a large table of dishes to welcome his daughter and son-in-law, and the eldest sister-in-law also brought the child over.
The old man was very happy to learn that Yun'a might come back to work for a few months next year, and what parent wouldn't want their children to be with them when they were older.
In the afternoon, the two didn't go anywhere, so they stayed at home, chatting with Lao Lin and watching TV.
At seven o'clock in the evening, Lao Wang's phone call came on time, they were already waiting at the door, and Su Yan and his wife said hello and left.
Myeongdong, located in Jung-gu, Seoul, is one of Korea's leading shopping streets, where you can buy clothing, footwear, miscellaneous goods, and cosmetics, as well as a variety of restaurants, as well as banks and securities companies.
The meeting place was in a secluded café.
Lee Sang-geun is in his forties, very thin, wears eyes, and is polite and polite.
In addition to the possible staff, there is also the actor Cao Zhengzao.
Su Yan secretly observed the other party, he was not a typical handsome guy, but he smiled very affinity, and he had read the script, so his first feeling was quite appropriate.
"Director Su, I have admired the name for a long time, I like the work "The Last Days" very much. Li Shanggen said with a smile: "I heard that it won more than 2 billion box office in Huaxia, as a debut film, it is really amazing." ”
"I've won the award, I've read your script many times, it's very good. ”
"If you like it, it's something I've spent years honing. The other party was a little eager to speak.
Su Yan was not in a hurry, drinking coffee slowly, Yun'er and Cao Zhengzheng did not join the chat between the two, and whispered greetings on the side.
"You know, I'm going to shoot it myself. Li Shanggen looked at Su Yan, who nodded and motioned for him to continue.
"If it's just selling scripts, many companies have contacted me, but they have all been rejected by me, because making movies is my personal ideal, and Director Su can watch it, which proves that the script is really good. ”
"Hmm..." Su Yan put down the cup and pondered for a few seconds, originally the negotiation was handed over to Mr. Wang, but he felt that it was nothing for him to come forward.
"As you said, the script has been in preparation for several years, so why hasn't filming started for a long time?"
Seeing that the other party was a little hesitant, Su Yan took the initiative to speak.
"I think it's about seniority and funding, there's nothing embarrassing about it, I was also questioned when I was filming "The Last Days", because I didn't have experience, and for the first time, everyone thought it was not right, which made it very difficult for you to raise funds. ”
Li Shanggen nodded, it was not unusual for Su Yan to say this, and he also knew Su Yan's family history.
"I've tried, making a movie is really not easy, it's difficult, it's tiring, especially if it's controlled by a novice, and many places will feel difficult, "EXIT" is not too much to say that it's your child, compared to directing it herself, will it be better to watch her be loved by the audience?"
Su Yan's negotiation method is different from Lao Wang's.
If it were Mr. Wang, he would definitely take investment, risk, and even the heroine as a bargaining chip at this moment, but he would take himself as the standard and consider the problem from the other party's standpoint, not to mention who is superior and who is inferior, but his identity is different.
Lee Sang-geun's thinking is very simple, his status as a Korean film director is very high, and since he has chips in his hands, of course he wants to fight for a future.
But reality is reality, he didn't have Qinghe as a backing like Su Yan, he had various TV stations that wanted to tie up, and the investment of 90 million yuan took several years to get it together, which also hit his self-confidence to a large extent.
So after Su Yan finished speaking, he didn't refute it.
"But this is a Korean movie, you are Chinese..."
"Hehe, you're too worried, although I'm from Huaxia, I'm also the son-in-law of South Korea, you should know that I have cooperated with many TV stations here, and I will come here 2-3 times a year, and I also know some.
What's more, your script doesn't really have much to say about homegrown B&Bs, and!"
Su Yan paused and accentuated his tone.
"If it is handed over to me for filming, in addition to serving as the screenwriter, Mr. Li also asks you to take charge of the position of assistant director, as for the vacant part of the film investment, it will all be responsible for Qinghe, our budget is 8 billion, so that the cost of post-publicity can be more than 1 billion.
In addition, I also know a lot of artists in Korea, the role of restaurant owner, and another supporting role, what do you think of Cho In-sung and Cha Tae-hyun coming to make cameos?"
Yun'er and the others stopped talking, and everyone could see that Li Shanggen was hesitating.
The conditions given by Qinghe are very good, as long as you nod your head, the film will soon enter the preparation stage, and the most headache of the financial problem can be solved.
But with a sub-word, this blocks his possibility of becoming famous.
"That's it!" Su Yan saw that the other party hadn't made a decision for a long time, and took the initiative to propose: "You think about this matter slowly, I can understand, how about the script?"
Li Shanggen sighed, indeed, it was too difficult for him to make a decision immediately, and gave a grateful smile: "You say." ”
Lao Wang took out the bound book from his bag and put it on the table, and Su Yan turned the page at random.
"To tell you the truth, I've read the script at least ten times, and it's generally very good, but there are a few places where the bugs are too big, and I modified them slightly, so you can use them as a reference. ”
When really making movies, it is common for screenwriters to be asked to revise their drafts, and now the two sides are not in a cooperative relationship, and Su Yan said it more politely.
"Su Dao, you can talk about it. ”
"First of all, it's the problem of the heroine.,There's actually some inconsistency in your script.,The male and female protagonists are college seniors.,I saw the heroine climbing by chance.,And the action is very skillful.。 ”
Speaking of the plot, the two people on the side were also listening carefully.
"But later,She seems to have forgotten all the skills she has mastered.,In addition to being physically strong and able to run.,It's more about the male owner to take care of.,Of course,I understand that you may want to highlight the male owner.,But it's really a bug, right?。 ”
"That's what I thought. Li Shanggen is naturally familiar with his script: "You should know the character of the male protagonist, he is transforming in just one night, and there must be more scenes." ”
"I understand, but is it possible to consider creating a bridge section, so that the heroine can save the male protagonist once through technology, which not only increases the interaction between the two, but also rounds the previous setting. ”
"Hmm," Li Shanggen nodded there.
"Also, with the dangerous gases of a tanker, it is too unreasonable to affect the whole city, and my suggestion is to change to a factory and explode for some reason, so it is more reasonable. ”
"Hey. Li Shanggen sighed: "Actually, I have considered this problem for a long time, and in the previous script, it was like you said, blowing up a factory, but in this way, the investment will be much larger." ”
Su Yan said that he understood, and he wondered before why a screenwriter who could write such a good script would make a low-level mistake.
Speaking of the script, not only Lee Sang-geun was interested, but the two pre-protagonists also joined the discussion, and everyone chatted happily, but they didn't notice that some fans secretly took photos on the side.
The expected two-hour meeting was extended by an hour, and both sides were a little unsatisfied.
Li Shanggen held Su Yan's hand: "I'll think about it when I go back, your sincerity is very strong, thank you very much, no matter what the result is, some of the questions you raised about the script really need to be revised." ”
"Well, we'll be in Korea for a few days and hopefully get some good news. ”
"Okay. ”
