Chapter 426: Korea's First Guide and His Love
What's the point?
To put it simply, it is the comic "Snowpiercer", and her author, Rochetti, said that he can sell the film adaptation rights of this comic.
In fact, Li Yuncong has been trying to do this for a long time, but everyone in France knows that they are very romantic and arrogant.
Rochetti is almost dismissive of the goodwill of the ancient Orient, but he can maintain his artist's style, but some people cannot.
The economic crisis is not a joke, although Europe now seems to be not affected much, but in fact the bomb is about to be detonated, so Rochetti's agency, which is actually the real holder of the comic copyright, is in a hurry.
Thirsty! thirsty!
Lack of money, now all of Europe is short of money, so what is there to be arrogant?
However, there are some unexpected factors in this matter, although Li Yuncong's side is very active, but the forces of the other side have come in.
That's right, it's the Korean director Bong Jun-ho, Wu Xiang knew that he was originally the director of the later "Snowpiercer" movie, but what Wu Xiang didn't know was that this guy was also very obsessed with this comic.
In 04, Bong Joon-ho discovered this comic, so he was ready to put her on the big screen, but it was easier said than done.
Wu Xiang's time is earlier than him, but all the parties to the comics, arrogant and tight, they just don't prepare to adapt, or say that they don't see rabbits and don't scatter eagles, there are no big companies, and there are no big productions. It's better to leave it at that.
This comic has won awards, so, their tsundere is understandable. It's just that they can't hold it today, but there are new problems, since both of you want to adapt, then you might as well have a bid.
It's like an auction house, but now that this manga has two competitors, let's see what kind of conditions both can offer.
In a simple office, Wu Xiang sat peacefully at a large desk. Opposite is Rochetti and his agency, and next to Wu Xiang is sitting Bong Junhao, the first director in South Korea!
Much like an auction house. This bid really looks like it, so......
"CJ, the largest film company in Korea, will invest in this film, and we will also join forces with major Hollywood companies to invite famous Hollywood movie stars. and the best movie stars in the Republic of Korea. We're going to put what we can into this film, that's our sincerity, Smecta!"
Bong Junhao said first, he was full of confidence and felt that he could bring in Hollywood people, and he was extremely good, completely like a big country in the universe.
It's time for Wu Xiang next, so what did Wu Xiang say?
"I have 100 million dollars for this film. ”
When Wu Xiang said this 100 million, his tone was very steady. No one can hear the slightest fluctuation, actually. It is true that there is no fluctuation, but everyone present is different, and all the faces of the people are different, and they are very surprised!
Feng Junhao didn't expect Wu Xiang to be so arrogant, 100 million US dollars is too powerful, where does he have this capital, but he didn't give up.
"I will also invite the best musicians in the Republic of Korea to do the soundtrack, and the best computer experts in the Republic of Korea to do the stunts, and the Republic of Korea ...... Smecta!"
began to start from other aspects, but it was still the same, that was his sincerity, so what would Wu Xiang say?
"I've got a hundred million dollars in plan. ”
Nothing has changed, that's all. But just like that, Bong Junhao has some internal injuries.
"No, this film is going to be a complete Hollywood production, with all the Hollywood crew, soundtrack, computer stunts, and even the best Hollywood movie stars, the best musicians, the best ...... Smecta!"
It has already risen to the Hollywood level, which is already the highest level in the eyes of the subjects of the Republic of Korea, and nothing can be higher than this, so what will happen to Wu Xiang?
"100 million dollars. "This time there are fewer words.
Although there are fewer words, Bong Junhao feels more pressure, and the result is ......
"Director Wu Xiang, I believe we will have a wonderful cooperation. The results came in, and Wu Xiang won the bid.
"Xi Ba!" Bong Jun-ho can only say a sentence very ungracefully, the national scolding of the Republic of Korea!
But the overall situation has been decided, what can you do if you swear? This is the case in capitalist society, whose money is the most expensive and whoever's is the listener!
However, given that Bong Joon-ho is so persistent with this movie, then we can't be so ruthless, right?
"Mr. Feng, why do you like this comic so much?" Wu Xiang didn't mind Bong Junhao's scolding at all, and he even threw an olive branch to Bong Junhao with a smile.
However, if you are familiar with Wu Xiang, you will definitely tremble when you look at it, who is this to fool with your smile.
"Ahh
"Hehe......" Wu Xiang laughed even harder, this guy is too funny, but it still matters if we flicker, "Mr. Feng, I have always seen your works, they are all very thoughtful works, really, very connotative, I like it very much." ”
Wu Xiang's words, you don't care if it's true or not, but Feng Junhao sounds so cool!
Who is this Wu Xiang? That's a big director who has been No. 1 in Hollywood, and everyone says that his movies are good, which is a great honor, so no matter how uncomfortable and unhappy Bong Junhao is, this guy's tone has softened.
"It's all clumsy, and you can't compare to it, Smecta. ”
"No, no, no, it's good, I especially like your "Memories of Murder", although it murdered a lot of my brain cells, but this film is still worth remembering, really. ”
"It's over, it's over, Smecta. ”
A few more words of non-nutritious talk. Wu Xiang feels that it is almost the same, and he can talk about the theme.
"I really want to know, why do you like this manga so much, and why?"
"......" is another problem. Bong Jun-ho didn't seem to want to answer, but just now he felt that Wu Xiang was a good person, and he asked himself this, there must be a reason.
After thinking for a while, Bong Jun-ho finally made up his mind.
"From the first time I saw this manga, I fell in love with her. Director Wu Xiang, you may not know. We, the people of the Republic of Korea, have worked so the road to freedom of cooking. How many sacrifices have been made to achieve today's achievements and today's dishes. Back then, when I saw this comic, I just saw the first chapter. I fell in love with her. The protagonist who was secretly arrested, the heroine who was imprisoned, they are simply the epitome of those predecessors back then......"
Understood, Wu Xiang completely understood, it turns out that any love is not for no reason, it turns out that there are so many things in it.
Wu Xiang knew what Bong Joon-ho was talking about, he was talking about the Korean Chun Doo-hwan period. It was the period that was called the 'Fifth Republic,' and it was in that period. Chun Doo-hwan, the head of the military government, combines military power and power, and is completely a dictator.
This is a very dark history, of course, this is from the perspective of politics, the Koreans at that time were really controlled by ideology, a qiē respect for ideology, as long as there is something about communism, you can't involve it, you can't see it, you can't listen to it, as long as you watch and you listen, then someone will come to check your water meter!
This is not a joke, someone really checks the water meter.
Not long after Chun Doo-hwan came to power, the 'Gwangju Incident' occurred, and then there was a jaw-dropping white terror, and a completely powerful ideological control.
At that time, the control was so strict and powerful that even the second child of the Kim family in the north couldn't stand it, and once severely criticized the brutality of the Chun Doo-hwan government. As you can imagine, how brutal this is.
And there are many events in this, such as the 'Pulin Incident' You can know where this happened when you hear the name, and there is a very interesting character in it, which is the later South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun!
At that time, Roh Moo-hyun was still a lawyer, but he participated in helping students defend, which can be described as a righteous hero!
Roh Moo-hyun, to be honest, from a personal moral point of view, really did not say anything, and he is indeed worthy of respect, but at this time, that is, in March 2009, it is not far from his suicide, because Roh Moo-hyun is now entangled in a lawsuit of corruption and bribery.
Roh Moo-hyun is an out-and-out grassroots president, of course, he later relied on other conglomerates, so he couldn't play like this, but in the end he committed suicide because of corruption and bribery, which is really embarrassing.
The reason why Wu Xiang knew about this incident so clearly was mainly because there was another movie about this later, and the result was quite good, and the evaluation on a certain bean was still very high, but those comments made Wu Xiang a little speechless.
The vast majority of the comments are allusions to the problems of our country now, that is, to an incident in the eighties.
Is there any mistake in this movie? This movie depicts that South Korea is not allowed to read 'communist' books, when did our country stop you from doing this?
Did these guys who posted comments do the opposite?
Is it completely reversed, isn't the communist book still readable as you want?!
If you want to scold, you should also scold the Republic of China, it was forbidden to read 'communist' books in that era!
And in that case, don't you even pretend not to know that there was a CIA instigation behind it? And this one in South Korea is obviously an authoritarian government supported by the people against US imperialism, if these two things are really related, doesn't that just fucking show that US imperialism is a bastard?
Wu Xiang overthought it again, but Wu Xiang also completely figured out why, Bong Jun-ho, this guy has such a great passion for "Snowpiercer", I can't imagine that this guy was one of those participants in various 'forest' events (that is, South Korea's student @ movement).
The time is very consistent, Bong Junhao was born in 1969, and when he went to school, it happened to be the Jeon Doo-hwan period, so it is estimated that he is bitter and bitter!
Then since you Bong Joon-ho is so enthusiastic, that's great.
"Mr. Bong, if that's the case, why don't we cooperate?"
"Cooperation?"
"Yes, cooperation!"
"Huh?"
Wu Xiang smiled even more thiefly, because Bong Junhao's expression was stupid and a little surprised, but the whole was in a state of excitement, which is to tell Wu Xiang clearly, the first leader in South Korea, nine times out of ten he will take the bait...... (To be continued......)
