Chapter 837: Film Industry

The special effects industry is a high-end industry with a particularly large cost.

Because it is a high-tech field, governments around the world are working hard to promote the development of this industry.

Many times, technology is migratory.

Why is Weta Digital developing so well?

Because the New Zealand government has given great tax incentives and financial subsidies!

Also in North America, in order to develop the special effects industry, Canada is also implementing tax subsidy policies in all aspects, and the government can provide 30% of the start-up capital!

The strong pressure of survival has made the special effects companies in the United States in the process of non-stop bankruptcy.

No way, labor in the United States is too expensive!

If you want to survive, it has become an inevitable choice to open a branch in a country with low labor costs.

Among the countries with technology, capital, and policies, South Korea is the first!

With the strong policy promotion of the South Korean government, more and more Hollywood special effects companies have come to South Korea to establish branches.

Why was South Korea's special effects industry able to dominate Asia and outsource to Hollywood?

The reason is very simple, in the "special effects industrial park", there are many branches of Hollywood special effects studios!

Most of the special effects companies in South Korea are born out of Hollywood's technical processes.

In the early stage, the South Korean government invested a lot of money, policies and tax incentives to attract Hollywood's technology, equipment and management ideas. After several years of exploration and study, South Korea's local special effects companies have sprung up.

This is the current national policy of South Korea.

It's just that it's still in the embryonic stage.

For Donne, this is an opportunity to be a good guy and match the two sides.

……

Seoul National University is the number one university in South Korea.

The Ministry of Culture, the Film Promotion Committee, the Seoul National University School of Arts, the Korea University Film School, the Yonsei University College of Humanities, and many other national institutions jointly planned today's blockbuster event.

The world's richest man and famous director Donn Walker's speech on film theory!

The core of today's speech, the Film Promotion Committee, has been stipulated-to focus on film special effects.

The presentation is still an hour away.

In the conference room of the Academy of Arts, Donn shook hands with many important people one by one.

There are officials, scholars, professors, directors, writers, actors...... Even Samsung's crown prince Lee Jae-yong came over in person.

Those messy people, Don is not interested.

At most, he will have a few words of greeting with the heads of the Korean entertainment industry, and then he will communicate with the officials of the Film Promotion Committee.

This is the highest authority in the Korean literary and artistic circles!

On the surface, the Promotion Committee is subordinate to the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, but the power of this association can be directly connected to the Blue House!

In this association, there is a "blacklist of literary and artistic circles".

What kind of people make the list?

Quite simply, disobedient people.

Either they do not comply with the current entertainment industry system, or they offend the big group chaebol by using their mantis arms as a car, or they use their fame to criticize the supreme ruler......

These people are all on the blacklist.

The revitalization committee will use its power to take various restrictive measures against the people and institutions on the list, such as excluding them from the subsidy recipients, such as uniting with major media organizations to ban them...... (One of the major crimes of stepping down is to concoct a blacklist, which can be called a back-handed woman)

"Chairman Wu, you are so polite, the development of the Korean culture and entertainment industry has achieved great success in just a few years, which is well documented. Not to mention the award-winning film "Oldboy" at Cannes this year, the Hallyu culture that has swept Asia has been greatly credited by the Promotion Committee. ”

Tang Eunzheng and Wu Zhenggen, chairman of the revitalization committee, had an enthusiastic conversation.

Wu Zhenggen returned from studying in the United States and belonged to the cutting-edge pragmatic school, so he sighed and said: "It's not enough! Especially our films, which are set in Asia...... It can only be regarded as second-rate. Mr. Walker, you may not know, if you push forward 15 years, even a shoddy Hong Kong film can sweep the Korean box office market. ”

Tang En smiled and waved his hand, "Actually, in my opinion, if you want to do a good job in the film market, it's very simple. ”

"Oh, can you tell us more?" Wu Zhenggen was immediately interested.

Tang En said: "Originally, the content of my speech was to discuss the film industry, but you said that it would be better to discuss some concepts of film special effects, which is in line with the current national policy. It's a big topic, so I'll talk about it briefly. ”

Wu shook hands with him warmly, "Mr. Walker, you have been so helpful to us! If it really happens, every Korean should thank you for your help." ”

Tang En shook his head with an indifferent expression, "Thank you you don't need to, just don't make trouble for me." ”

"Huh?" Wu Zhenggen raised his eyebrows, keenly aware of something, "What? Could it be that someone here will cause you trouble?"

Tang En said: "I just had a meal with a few actresses, but I was photographed by a paparazzi reporter, and the rumors were boiling. I don't care, the point is that this kind of false news will affect their careers. If this happens, I won't dare to come to Korea again. ”

Wu Zhenggen understood as soon as he heard this, and was furious at the moment, "There is always such a group of bedbugs in the media industry! Mr. Walker, don't worry, I will personally send someone to deal with this matter." I can also assure you that there will never be any public coverage in South Korea that would tarnish your image!"

South Korea is a "democracy" with freedom of expression.

It's just that the government, the chaebol, and many other important figures have unquestionable authority, and this is the white list.

Whoever dares to oppose it will be blacklisted!

The meaning of Wu Sogen's words is very clear, as long as Tang Eun really helps Korean movies, then he will also be on the whitelist.

Don smiled with satisfaction.

That's what he wants.

In the future, he will have closer and deeper contacts with the Korean entertainment industry.

Especially Girls' Generation.

Block out all unknown possibilities first.

Avoid accidents.

After solving the worries, Tang En can talk about it, "Movies are not just movies, movies are a demonstration of a country's comprehensive strength." In my opinion, the quality of a country's film industry is mainly related to three aspects. First, the capacity of the scientific and technological innovation industry, second, the protection of intellectual property, and third, the external intervention of the market economy. ”

Wu Zhenggen looked humbly taught, and actually took out a small notebook and a signature pen from the inner pocket of his suit.

Seeing this scene, many people gathered around.

Wu Zhenggen is a big man!

He was an official, the equivalent of a minister arranged by the president.

He is so serious and formal, then it must not be a trivial matter.

Especially many Korean directors and actors, they are not qualified to get too close, and can only watch from afar on the periphery.

The young man who looked at the one in the center.

In his eyes, there was a kind of cult fanaticism.

Director, when have you ever been treated with such dignity?

Don made them really feel the sense of accomplishment of serving the film and taking the film as their ambition!

Such a big formation made Tang En cry and laugh, and waved his hand again and again: "Then I'll talk about it briefly, it's all some personal opinions, and you don't have to take it too seriously." ”

"Where, Mr. Walker, you are too modest. ”

"Humble!"

"We all have to learn. ”

……

Tang En had no choice but to continue what he just said and said: "The core of the movie is the content, and the core of the content is innovation. Innovation is a mindset that is integrated into all walks of life. At present, among the top 100 innovative companies in the world, there are 44 in the United States, 28 in Japan, 12 in France, 3 in South Korea, and Britain, Germany, China, Italy, Taiwan, and Fenxin...... All are 1. In this sense, South Korea has a strong ability to innovate, and movies naturally have great potential. ”

Including Wu Zhenggen, everyone's faces were very surprised.

They all know that Don is very optimistic about the Korean film market, otherwise he would not have come all the way to South Korea.

Now I am so surprised to hear Don En personally admit that he is optimistic about Korean movies, and even linked to scientific and technological innovation enterprises, ranking fourth in the world.

Of course, that's just the first point, and the second point, the protection of intellectual property. South Korea is the first country in the world to surpass traditional music revenues from digital music, which shows the strength of copyright protection. However, after all, South Korea is a civil law country, and there is still a slight gap between it and countries with a law of the sea system such as Britain and the United States. Feedback to the movie, Britain and the United States are the world's first-rate, Japan, South Korea, France and Germany and other countries can only be regarded as second-rate. ”

Everyone understands the truth of Donn's words.

The law of the sea system is a jury system, and when protecting intellectual property rights, there are punitive damages in addition to compensatory damages.

In civil law systems, the lack of legal provisions for punitive damages has greatly reduced the cost of infringement.

There is no piracy in Japan, not because of good copyright protection, but because of the cultural influence of the country from childhood to adulthood...... Foreigners can easily play piracy when they go to Japan.

Tang En continued: "The third point is that films need to be marketized and promoted with less government intervention. As we all know, France is the birthplace of cinema, and there are trendy branches such as impressionism, poetic realism, surrealism, and new wave cinema. In the past, French cinema was the leader of world cinema!"

Unfortunately, France made a big mistake and set up the Ministry of Culture in 1959 to set standards for the promotion of French culture. As a result, French cinema plummeted. After 2000, France banned the Ministry of Culture, the government no longer intervened, and French films returned to Hollywood-style marketization. What follows is that French cinema is coming back to life. ”

"In this respect, South Korea has more policy intervention, and there is still a big gap with the United States, Britain, France, Japan, and Germany. Fortunately, the first two are highly rated. On the whole, in the next ten years, the final ranking of the world film industry is likely to be the United States, Japan, the United Kingdom, France and South Korea. ”

In the end, Don used his foresight to turn on the big flicker mode.

Although there was suspicion of criticism, Wu Zhenggen still accepted it humbly and nodded again and again, "Yes, yes, Mr. Walker, what you said is too right." Ten years ago, there were two directors, Kim Dong-won and Cho Sung-bong, who were arrested for screening the movie "Red", which caused a great social impact. Because of this incident, we abolished film censorship. Since then, there has really been a resurgence of Korean films. ”

Don looked at him with a smile, "So...... What's next?"
