Chapter 838 Free Trade Agreements

Wu didn't understand what Tang En meant.

Don smiled and glanced at him meaningfully.

Wu Zhenggen understood and quickly dispersed the onlookers.

Tang En said solemnly: "Chairman Wu, you should know that this year's ...... It's an election year in the United States. ”

"So what?"

Wu Zhenggen was confused.

He vaguely knew about "Fahrenheit 911" and complained a lot about it. If it weren't for political interference, at this year's Cannes Film Festival, the Korean film "Oldboy" would have won the Palme d'Or!

Don leveled "Fahrenheit 911" and killed Harvey Weinstein with great vigour, and this sensational news has long spread around the world.

Of course, in Wu's view, Harvey Weinstein's guilt is, in the final analysis, a political mistake, and to put it bluntly, on the wrong side. The incriminating evidence that has been made public is really inconspicuous.

It can't be compared with the Korean entertainment industry at all.

Today is the heyday of Korean films, and almost all the big-name directors and first-line actors are present, on the one hand, because of the official promotion, and on the other hand, they sincerely hope to enjoy the demeanor of the world's richest man up close.

Even Wu Zhenggen has thought about it, as long as Tang En has a hint, he will arrange it himself.

For example, Ha Ji Won, Son Ye Jin, Han Jiaren, Song Hye Kyo and several other actresses who have been very popular in recent years.

It's just a matter of one word.

This is really a misunderstanding of Don.

If he wants to play with women, he still needs to use Wu Zhenggen's relationship? That's too big and too much!

It's enough to let S/M Entertainment help arrange it.

"It's a national policy. Don shook his head and said in a deep voice.

"National policy?" Wu Zhenggen raised his eyebrows.

Donn said: "In President Bush's past term, the most important thing in the United States was war. Now that the war is over, it is beginning to wrap up. The next 4 years...... Whether the Democratic Party takes office or President Bush is re-elected, economic development must be the core issue. ”

The better the economic situation in the United States, the better the global economic environment. ”

The corners of Tang En's mouth hooked, "Chairman Wu, you know, I'm talking about movies." ”

"Movies?"

"To put it irreverently, in the past few years, the South Korean government has taken advantage of Hollywood. ”

Don said half-jokingly.

Wu Zhenggen's face was pale, and he suddenly realized.

I finally understood what Donn was referring to.

He wants South Korea to open up the film market and let more Hollywood movies come in.

Wu Zhenggen's face was solemn, "Local movies always have some soil for survival. ”

Don said: "Of course, this is understandable. I agree with the strategy of postponing the summer blockbuster schedule for Hollywood blockbusters and promoting Korean local films, and it does not violate the agreement between the two countries. However, I heard that the TO trade agreement between South Korea and the United States, you have not fulfilled it?"

In order to join TO, South Korea made many concessions, including the film industry.

The free trade agreement changed the original requirement for movie theaters to show Korean movies for 147 days to 73 days.

As a result, there were collective protests, demonstrations, and opposition from all Korean filmmakers.

They believe that if the market is liberalized, Korean films will lose their own space and be completely dominated by Hollywood.

This matter is very troublesome.

There are even many filmmakers who go on hunger strikes and retreats, which have had a huge international impact.

The Film Promotion Committee had no choice but to renegotiate with the United States, delaying the implementation of this decision.

However, in many cases, the more fierce the competition, the greater the potential.

Instead of getting better, accepting greater external challenges and merging with each other can lead to a new kind of strength.

In the previous life, Korean films rose rapidly, and in just a few years, they reached the top of Asia and became world-class, with strength comparable to Britain, Japan, and France.

How?

Open market!

First of all, in the field of special effects, we actively recruited the Hollywood team to set up branches, and in the field of policy...... The South Korean government pained the killer, no longer cared about the resolute opposition of the filmmakers, and under the pressure of the United States, firmly implemented the decision to change 147 days to 73 days!

For a time, Hollywood movies swept the Korean market.

In this fierce and turbulent market change, Korean films have successfully integrated Hollywood's creative techniques and production concepts by using the film concepts of learning from Japan in the 70s, Hong Kong in the 80s, and mainland China in the 90s, and finally embarked on a successful development path for Korean films.

After the market was liberalized, Hollywood did not defeat Korean films.

On the contrary, the top few at the box office in South Korea are always local films.

Wu Zhenggen looked embarrassed and frowned.

Tang En said softly: "Chairman Wu, I am not a government official, and I don't have to speak for the official. In the next few years, the federal government will definitely use strong measures to promote economic development. Rather than being forced to open the market with a big stick, it is better to take the initiative to take a step back. At the very least, you can prepare in advance so as not to provoke a protest backlash from Korean filmmakers. ”

Wu Zhenggen's face was solemn, and he bowed his head and said, "Thank you for the reminder, turn around...... We will look at countermeasures. ”

Tang En smiled, "Good medicine is bitter, in fact, in my opinion, opening up the film market and promoting the special effects industrial park are essentially the same kind." Only when we are open can we learn better. At the heart of Hollywood is not technology, but ideas. ”

Wu Zhenggen nodded again and again, he was obviously more interested in the topic of "special effects", which is the most important national policy in South Korea at present, and said: "Yes, speaking of technology...... South Korea, if not as good as the United States, is definitely the best in the world. ”

Tang En shook his head and said: "Just talking about the special effects industry, there are several special effects companies in South Korea that are very good, and I have heard about it." But can it be compared to Weta Digital? In every sense of the word, South Korea is far better than New Zealand! But why does New Zealand have the world's top special effects company like Weta Digital, but South Korea cannot?"

Wu Zhenggen looked at him in surprise.

Tang En smiled slightly, "Today's speech, I will solve your doubts." I can also give you a guarantee that the content of my speech is not a clichΓ©, even if it is placed in the United States and Hollywood, it will be deafening. It's like the lectures I gave at Columbia University and the University of Southern California. ”

……

Today's commercial special effects films, the shooting method is still relatively traditional, and CG technology is applied in the film to add virtual scenes, characters, things, special effects and other objects to achieve the purpose of distinguishing the real from the false and enhancing the visual effect.

This is the concept of "post-production special effects" in the general public's mind.

At present, most Hollywood movies use this concept when it comes to special effects.

However, this is an outdated concept.

What is an advanced idea?

It's a pre-production special effect!

This requires a great change in the construction of traditional Hollywood crews, and a newly formed special effects team must be added to the team to shoot with the director team.

It is necessary for the special effects team to participate in the shooting process such as scene selection, stage design, props, angles, and live shooting, and even change the director's sub-shot concept.

Only a professional special effects engineer can judge what kind of special effects lens is more aesthetically pleasing.

In the past few years, all commercial blockbusters with stunning visual effects must be inseparable from the creative concept of "pre-special effects + post-special effects".

However, for traditional directors, it is a bit unacceptable to let an unfamiliar special effects team come in, and there will be a large decentralization.

As a result, even in Hollywood, the concept of "post-production special effects" is only common.

For example, Christopher Nolan, this guy resolutely refuses!

Don wants to talk about an advanced concept in South Korea that is 10 years ahead of the times, which can be described as full of sincerity.

……

In the auditorium, the audience stood up and applauded.

There were about 1,000 people here, clapping in unison, and they were eager to tear down the roof of the auditorium.

Don smiled and looked around at everyone.

Turning a blind eye to the group of officials in the middle of the first row.

The eyes were looking out between the corners and the actors in the second row.

"Huh? That's Song Hye Kyo, right? My lips are so red, I don't know what it feels like...... Isn't that Kim Tae-hee? She's here too...... Who is that? so familiar? What's your name, it's so beautiful......"

Tang En looked at the Korean female stars in the back rows with a smile.

The makeup is really exquisite!

"Huh, why are they here too?"

Then, in the aisle of the last row, Don saw a few light and clever figures, bouncing and waving to this side.

It turned out to be Zheng Xiuyan, Cui Xiuying and Lin Yuna.

Seeing Zheng Xiuyan jumping happily, Tang En wondered in his heart: "Jump like this...... Doesn't it hurt, and the body recovers so quickly, and it looks like I can taste it again tonight......"

The first time, Don En was afraid that she wouldn't be able to bear it, so he didn't dare to enjoy it.
