Chapter 459: Cherish Feathers
When Yamashita got upright, he was not surprised to see that Hyomin was still motionless like a clay sculpture enshrined in a shrine, but his mood was a little complicated. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info
At the beginning, Xin Dongbin was very angry that Liu Kewei, a young man, dared to faintly express his intention to threaten him.
When Minoru Yamashita learned about the crew of "Parasite" from Rakuten Pictures and reported it to him, he slowly calmed down.
It turns out that it was indeed his own subordinates who took the lead in breaking the "rules of the game"?
In all fairness, in Xin Dongbin's eyes, the existence of the rules of the game is definitely not a golden rule, and under the premise of sufficient returns, even if it is a reckless one, it is nothing.
But the problem is that in order to improve personal performance and express their own ability, his subordinates break the rules of the game of a certain crew in the name of the company without authorization, which makes it difficult for him to tolerate.
In the eyes of the Japanese, this kind of thing can only be described in three words.
That's "down the gram up".
It is not uncommon in Japanese history, especially in modern history, for subordinates who are dissatisfied with the status quo to brazenly adopt radical measures to create a precedent that forces their superiors to pinch their noses and follow up, and finally make the whole group pay for it. For example, the Sakurada Gate Incident, the Bunhisa Coup, and the Ikedaya Incident...... It can even be said that almost half of the entire history of the Meiji Restoration was written by this kind of subordination.
Including the later 226 Mutiny, the 918 Incident, the Lugou Bridge Incident and even the Hongqiao Airport Incident, they are also full of this kind of "lower than above" thinking.
As a high-ranking person who has received Japanese culture and education since he was a child, Xin Dongbin doesn't like this kind of feeling of being forcibly "taken out of rhythm" by his subordinates.
So his anger at the producer in the crew of "Parasite" suddenly surpassed his dissatisfaction with Liu Kewei.
When Yamashita's assistant asked him for instructions on how to deal with this matter, he thought about it for a while and decided to simply let Yamashita be a "special envoy".
Even if you want to make an appropriate response to Liu Kewei on the movie "Parasite", you must also consider how to grasp the "degree" of concessions - Xin Dongbin definitely does not plan to tell the people on the side of Lotte Pictures about his intrigue with his brother, and for them who do not know what to do, they naturally cannot grasp the "degree" of specific operations.
Yamashita is really his trusted confidant, he can best understand his intentions, and he is also aware of the subtle connection between Lotte Group and Liu Kewei, and he has been in contact with Liu Kewei several times, and his understanding of that guy's character must be closer to the truth than Xin Dongbin himself.
Xin Dongbin believed that Yamashita could properly handle this matter from the standpoint of his own interests and that of the Lotte Group, so he made such an arrangement.
Unlike producers, directors, and screenwriters, who require specialized knowledge and skills in their respective fields, the role of a producer is simply to ensure that every penny invested by the producer is spent in the right place.
This kind of thing, as Minoru Yamashita from the Faculty of Commerce of Keio University, is naturally competent and happy.
Your Excellency, the executive director, personally named and asked Assistant Yamashita to serve as the executive producer of the crew of "Parasite", and although President Che and Representative Shin of Lotte Pictures did not know what was going on, they would not risk offending Xin Execution to deliberately obstruct such a "small matter" in their eyes.
"In addition, due to personal health reasons, Kim Yoo Lasi has resigned from the position of screenwriter, so we will not work on the script for the time being. Someone will come over and beckon you to try on costumes and styling, so please cooperate with you then. ”
After seeing Minoru Yamashita greet with the leading actors, Yang Yunhao announced.
The leading actors bowed down and said yes, and Hyo-min was once again half a beat slower.
Liang Yunhao nodded and stood up, Kim Yong-tae, Ko Seok-jin and Yamashita Minoru followed behind him, and the four of them discussed something in a whisper and walked out of the conference room.
Next, the leading actors were taken away by several staff members to try on costumes and design styles, and finally take some promotional photos with the confirmed costumes.
Hyo-min, who still had fifteen buckets in his heart, went down to the show, and the producer, director, and producer entered another office on the same floor.
"Producer Nim, Director Nim, I'm sorry for the mishandling of our group and the trouble caused to you......"
Minoru Yamashita bowed deeply again, opening with an apology.
Anyway, the word "trouble" is a universal word in Japanese culture, and almost every Japanese person is used to it.
Being late for work is causing trouble to others, taking drugs and driving is also causing trouble to others, and even repentance after launching a war of aggression can be expressed in these three words......
Liang Yunhao, Kim Yongtai and Gao Shizhen reluctantly bowed and returned the salute, and then Liang Yunhao frowned and spoke: "Shixi, don't mention the apology, the question now is - what to do with the script?"
Although it was not disclosed at the meeting just now, these people already knew that the first thing Minoru Yamashita did after joining the crew was to give Kim Yoola a sum of money on behalf of Lotte Pictures, which was regarded as buying out the adaptation rights of the script, and then sent the other party away.
None of the three of them care about the screenwriter's whereabouts, but since everyone has reached a consensus to adjust the plot, but now that there is no screenwriter, who will revise the script?
"Can you please ask Liang Yunhao Xi for this matter?" asked Minoru Yamashita tentatively.
For some veteran filmmakers, it is likely that they have challenged the three positions of producer, director, and screenwriter, and can be called "all-rounders" - and Yang Yunhao and Kim Yongtae happen to be such "all-rounders".
Among these two producers, Yang Yunhao, who once served as the director of the so-called 20 billion production "IRIS", has a slightly higher coffee position than Kim Yong-tae.
"At the beginning, when you guys approached me at Rakuten Pictures, I said that I was better at realistic themes such as action movies, romance movies, and spy movies...... I have studied very little in the category of supernatural movies. It's not a big problem to be a producer, but if you're directing or writing a screenplay, you might as well spare me. ”
Liang Yunhao shook his head with an embarrassed face, the reputation of a film and television drama is often closely related to the director and screenwriter, and he doesn't want to smash his signboard casually.
That's why he recommended Kim Yong-tae to Lotte Pictures as a director, who has a lot of experience in the field of supernatural horror films, and it is said that it would have been a very suitable choice.
It's a pity that after Kim Yong-tae read the script of "Parasite", he had a very low evaluation of the plot, and he also had a psychology similar to Liang Yunhao's "cherishing feathers", so he said that he lacked passion for directing this script, and only reluctantly agreed to be a co-producer.
In the end, Liang Yunhao had no choice but to let his long-time partner Gao Shizhen, his hometown, meet this challenge. (To be continued.) )
