Lee Yong-kwan is the current chairman of the Busan Film Festival and has an official background.

This is very unlucky, during his chairmanship, he encountered a collective protest by filmmakers against the Busan political axe interference in the film incident!

It should have been two years later, the Busan Film Festival was opposed by the Busan city government for the release of the documentary "The Tragic Death of the Age of the Year" "The Diving Bell", and since then, there has been constant friction between Korean filmmakers and the government, and the new rules and jury of the festival have also been forcibly interfered with by the Busan District Court.

"Diving Bell" is a pseudo-documentary with the theme of the "Seol" tragedy, recording the story that happened within half a month of the search and rescue work, deciphering the hidden shocking facts and tragedies that could not be conveyed at the time, especially exposing the corruption problem in South Korea.

Yes, it is a common reality theme in South Korea, and this film will not only be made, but also will be screened at the Busan International Film Festival.

As a result, the Busan Metropolitan Government blew up: they demanded that the film be canceled on the grounds that the film might cause political controversy, but the other side refused to request on the grounds of protecting the freedom of artistic expression and the independence of the film festival, and the film festival insisted on the screening under pressure.

The movie was released, and then caused an uproar, and the Busan Festival, which has always been supported and funded by the Busan city government, the film industry, the business community, and other departments, was cut in half, and the Korean Supervisory Service also implemented special supervision of the Busan International Film Festival.

After that, Li Yongguan was forced to step down...

Then, nine major film groups boycotted the Busan Film Festival to protest the Busan Metropolitan Government's interference with the festival's independence...

This is in the Celestial Empire, I can't imagine it!

……

Zhang Junsheng walked to the stage with the trophy and sighed with emotion: "Thank you for this award." It's a team honor that I want to share with the staff, every director, and everyone behind the scenes. Although they didn't stand here like me and get a round of applause from everyone, I applaud you on the stage for your efforts, thank you!"

just sat down and was about to eat octopus, when Chen Yu, who was sitting next to him, suddenly spoke: "You just stared at Li Bingxian and wanted to make a movie with him?"

Zhang Junsheng nodded: "I do have this idea, but I have to wait a few years." ”

“… Filming the Korean War?"

"I'll go, you're a roundworm in my stomach?"

Chen Yu pursed his lips: "When you were in school, you often watched "Armageddon", and you were particularly concerned about the Korean War, everyone knew that you were interested in this period of history!"

“… Interest is one thing, whether you can shoot or not, and from what angle it is very important!"

added: "After all, North Korea is involved, and if they protest, the movie will definitely not be made." ”

“… That's a problem, and it's not easy for the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to deal with it..."

Chen Yu nodded.

This is also the main reason why there are few film and television projects based on the Korean War.

The Korean War, from our standpoint, is called the War to Resist US Aggression and Aid Korea;

From the standpoint of North Korea, it is called 'South Korea invaded Korea...', and there is no mention of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army in the history books, not a word!

Of course, Jang Junsheng is on our side, then North Korea will definitely protest - "My War" was almost protested...

According to the process, the next step should be for filmmakers from the Three Kingdoms to talk about Asian films...

Lao Mouzi and Zhang Junsheng went on stage together, and next to them sat Korean actors, Japanese actors...

The organizers probably know that there has been a lot of tension between China and Japan recently because of the Diaoyu Islands, so the questions asked are about their impressions of the Busan Film Festival and advice for young filmmakers...

It's all soup...

This is also the dilemma of the Busan Film Festival, it is difficult for them to invite big directors, unlike our Shanghai Film Festival, which is Cameron and Spielberg at every turn...

"Do you have any plans for the future?"

Lee Byung-hun replied: "My focus is still on Hollywood, and I have taken on three movies..."

The media and the audience were surprised.

South Korea has a natural worship of the United States, not to mention the protagonist, even if you brush your face, you can also provoke the G-spot...

Forget it, in fact, domestic actors are the same...

"What about Mr. Zhang Yimou?"

“… I'm going to make a movie, I have a lot of projects on my hands..."

"Mr. Zhang Junsheng, what are your plans next?"

"Of course it's filming..."

……

Park Bo-young is really short, but her legs are quite long.

This is probably the biggest feeling of Jang Junsheng's trip to Busan, by the way, there is another point, the so-called Korean food is really not good...

Especially for octopuses, they cut the tentacles of the octopus into small pieces and put them in their mouths with sesame oil and sesame seeds, and you will find that it will still slide in the throat, but because its tentacles are very favorable, it is easy to suffocate...

The South Korean Embassy in China launched the "Bite of Korea" series on Weibo, showing Korean food with pictures and texts, and then it was complained about by various people...

What is there to introduce to the army hot pot?

Meat dishes with kimchi, instant noodles...

Eat instant noodles, as for being so happy?

As for the commercial project, Tang Ningyu is responsible for following up, Yuehua has established a cooperative relationship with Xijie Media, and simultaneously operates "Strange Her" and "League of Thieves", "League of Thieves" puts the background on Shanghai, Yuehua arranged Wang Bo, Liu Sisi and Yuan Hong to be responsible for starring, full of sincerity...

By the way, many TV series produced by Yuehua were also sold to Xijie Entertainment at a low price - people have TV stations in their hands...

In fact, it can't be considered a low price, a single episode is more than 20,000 yuan!

The number of Chinese TV dramas exported is relatively small, and generally overseas distribution is sold for money, you want a high price, and people are not willing to give it - each country has its own TV drama market, and Chinese TV dramas can only be sold at a low price if they want to come in...

And there are local protectionism in many countries, for example, in South Korea, the three major stations have clear regulations that prime-time film and television dramas, including programs, must be Koreans.

People don't have so many demands on the United States...

Xijie Entertainment has two major cable TV stations, OCN and South Korea's Chunghwa TV, of which Chunghwa TV is a satellite TV that specializes in broadcasting Chinese news and TV dramas, and the ratings are relatively low...

There is no way, according to the relaxation of the law in South Korea, even cable stations can only broadcast foreign TV dramas in the early hours of the morning!

The original time and space Netflix bought a lot of Chinese TV series, that is to serve the Chinese community in North America and Europe...

Of course, many small countries, such as Africa, do not have their own television industry at all, so what should we do?

Every year, their filmmakers are like picking up leftovers, shopping for something at a low price, going back to tinkering, making some hard-earned money, barely enough to live.

If you want to count exports, Yuehua's TV series last year were exported to 75 countries around the world!

Of course, most of them are half-sold and half-giveaway, and they don't make any money at all, but it's enough to fool people - the company's financial report is very good!

On the first day of Zhang Junsheng's return to China, he received a call from Da Mi Mi.

Her new movie is released, and I want Zhang Junsheng to help promote it on Weibo...
