Chapter 12: I'm sorry

Filming a film was never a whim for Leung, in fact, the newly written "Miryang" was a footnote to his "no faith" four words, and he had been working on such a script since Theology professor Barbara asked that very subjective question. Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 Info is different from "This Man is from Earth", its core is not a rebellious setting dressed in soft science fiction, but an explicit exploration of human spiritual orientation.

There may never be an end to the debate over whether human beings should tap into their own subjective spiritual powers, or be governed by external "pillars" that are either objectified or deified.

God does exist, and is regarded by billions of people as a source of power, but in the final analysis, it is just an illusory idol, and worshipping it is no different from the Chinese people's worship of the dragon totem. The Western world always likes to advertise that their lives are superior, their technology is developed, and their systems are advanced, but the mental state of most of them is still at the same level as that of the Chinese clans thousands of years ago.

Transcendentalism, which belongs to the same category of idealism as religion, can be seen by its name alone, and it once represented change and innovation in the West, and what it dealt with was called traditional thought in the Celestial Empire. When the blonde and white-skinned Westerners proudly proclaim that they are twenty or even thirty years ahead of the Celestial Empire in the material realm, they deliberately ignore that the spiritual gap between the two sides is measured in millennia.

The reason why people are human beings is because there is a consciousness called "I", which is human nature in general, while Christianity, the mainstream of the so-called free world, relies on stifling people's autonomous consciousness to achieve the purpose of parasitizing modern society. Spiritually speaking, people who believe in Christianity can no longer be called human beings, because "I know my sheep, and my sheep know me" (if you don't know, please Baidu "Gospel of John"), whether in the eyes of God's spokesman or in the eyes of the believers themselves, "people" are not an ideal state, they are just ready to sacrifice their own pathetic sacrifice, an empty body with no distinction between good and evil.

"This Man is from Earth" is already very unpleasant, if "Miryang" also wants to be released in North America after it is filmed, the resistance will only be greater, Liang Baoguang disdains to welcome anyone, but this does not mean that he must be stunned and bang his head against the wall. The film is likely to be torn apart by the faithful when it is made in North America, so South Korea has become an excellent stage, and at least half of the reason he returned to South Korea during winter break was for the film.

Liang Baoguang is a temperamental person, his stubborn character is inherited from both parents, Liang Gesheng can take his early ten-year-old son to the peninsula to perform an undercover mission that may kill him at any time in order to think it is "correct", and Yun Jingyi fell out with her family because of the "rightness" in her heart, and went to the United States alone to hide Qingjing, as the crystallization of the love of two people, Liang Baoguang's character can be imagined. If there is a question, there is a response, and if there is an opinion, he has to express it, and he lacked a platform before, but this experience of making a movie because of a bet opened the door to a new world for him.

The filming difficulty of "Miryang" will be far more difficult than "This Man is from the Earth", and even if the finished product is successfully filmed, it will be difficult to recover the cost, but Liang Baoguang has a stubborn personality, and after being asked such a question by Barbara, he has a stomach full of opinions to express, and the movie is undoubtedly the best way for him to "speak".

If you want to support a movie, it is not enough to have an excellent script and an excellent director, the characters or actors are the objects that the audience focuses on when watching the movie, and the top priority for Liang Baoguang is not to pull up a professional shooting team, but to find actors who have the ability to control the role.

Liang Baoguang's three words are unknown to no one in the Korean film industry, and an anonymous man suddenly stood up and said that he was a director, and he wanted a big-name actor with first-class acting skills, and he would not have any appeal at all, but fortunately he also had two sharp weapons, one was Mr. Franklin's invincible charm, and the other was his father's famous murderous name. Mr. Franklin lived on the back of a hundred dollars, and Liang Gesheng lived in Seoul, and he arranged this meeting with Liang Baoguang.

Liang Baoguang doesn't care about Korean movies at all, and naturally he doesn't have the slightest understanding, no one on this narrow peninsula has the heart to make a work that can be crowned with the word "great". A few years ago, there was a "Tai Chi Flag Flying" that was rumored to be amazing, and he tried to watch it patiently, but the result can only be said to be a big disappointment, the actual quality of the movie is far from the propaganda of Sony and Miramax, this kind of nondescript thing can no longer be said to be a toddler in Handan, but a follow-up to Dongshi.

Whether it is prejudice or insight, Liang Baoguang has no interest in Korean movies, and naturally it is impossible to know Korean film actors, in order to find actors, he deliberately went to Google to set a few possible goals, and after searching, Xue Jingqiu has a high degree of relevance to the entry of "the best actor in Korean acting", and his appearance is more in line with the standard, so he decided to meet and chat, and he doesn't have to worry about contact.

In the post-Jin Dazhong era, because the "cultural national policy" opened the door for high-level capital, many wealthy people invested their money in the entertainment industry, and even Liang Gesheng made a new entertainment company in order to launder the money of the credit company. However, most rich people are more inclined to invest, "The handsome men and beautiful women after the packaging of Han **** heart are also not small in attraction to the rich people, and they can also entertain themselves after entertaining others, why not?"

Compared with the Korean Wave, South Korea's film industry is like a mud that can't be glued to the wall, and the market has shrunk even more after a large number of American capital has withdrawn in 2006.

Idealists are certainly worthy of admiration, but there is often a thin line between idealists and wronged leaders.

"Sit. Liang Baoguang's observation of words and expressions was first-class, seeing Xue Jingqiu's brows slightly wrinkled and an impatient look, of course he would not greet the other party in a good voice, "Oh, I am a Chinese, and I have lived in the United States for a long time, so Mr. Xue can be casual." ”

"Hehe, that's right. Xue Jingqiu pretended to know and smiled clearly.

"Presumably Mr. Xue already knows, I came to you this time to talk to you about the possibility of cooperation, I have a script written by myself on hand, and I want to ask you to be the leading actor, if you are not in a hurry, read it first. When he was in the United States, Liang Baoguang made up his mind to shoot in South Korea, and the script was written in Chinese and then directly expanded in Korean, so Kim Tae-hee and Xue Jingqiu saw Korean scripts.

Xue Jingqiu pursed his lips when he took the script, he didn't think that a rich second generation in his twenties could write any good script, this kind of person's diary may be very "wonderful", but the script requires professional skills, but the two of them sat face to face, he couldn't put his mind on his face, so he could only nod, "Then I'm welcome." ”

Liang Baoguang was very anxious, he didn't conduct a careful investigation beforehand, he just casually googled it and decided on the candidate, so he made a rather low-level mistake, causing Xue Jingqiu's face to become more and more ugly, and the atmosphere became colder and colder.

"Supervisor Liang, could it be that you are here to entertain me?" Supervisor is an honorific title for the film director, but it is difficult for Xue Jingqiu to see any respect for Liang Baoguang like this, "As a devout believer, it is absolutely impossible for me to make this kind of movie, this is an insult to me." ”

Only then did Liang Baoguang remember that the man in front of him was still a Christian.

Xue Jingqiu was originally not religious, but if a person has done too many bad things or suffered a major blow, he must have a spiritual support, and he obviously belongs to the former. Xue Jingqiu was able to complete the gorgeous transformation from a failed student in the college entrance examination and an unknown actor in an unknown troupe to an actor, and his ex-wife An Renjing contributed a lot. An Renjing's brother An Neixiang is a famous Korean actor with a wide range of connections in the circle, and the most important thing is that he also has a brother named Bong Junhao, with these people covering, it is difficult for Xue Jingqiu's acting career to go smoothly.

In 2002, Xue Jingqiu fell in love with Song Yun'er, who cooperated in filming, and felt that he had married his wife for career development, and Song Yun'er was truly in love, so despite the fact that his young daughter still needed her father's care, she separated from An Renjing without hesitation and got involved with Song Yun'er. may feel uneasy in conscience, and coupled with Song Yun'er's brainwashing on the side, he quickly turned to God and threw himself into the warm collective embrace, as for the guilt of the early stage and his own daughter, I am afraid that "the Lord has forgiven me, and you are still chirping and talking about a fart" can best represent his state of mind.

"Miryang" not only brought the religious issue of South Korea to the table, but also directly poked at the deepest pain in the hearts of those pickled goods who hid in the light of the glorious sun, Xue Jingqiu would never have made such a movie, he was afraid that he would not even be able to pronounce the lines at that time.

"I'm really sorry, I didn't even know that Mr. Xue was still a disciple, I'm sorry to delay your time. Liang Baoguang shrugged his shoulders indifferently, and in words to describe it lyrically, he hurt Xue Jingqiu, and smiled.

Xue Jingqiu, who has been famous for many years, has not experienced this feeling for many years, facing Liang Baoguang makes him feel as if he has returned to the years of lowly life more than ten years ago, especially the other party's slightly regretful look at the woman who has lost his footing touched his nerves, "You guy, you lack basic respect for others at all!"

"Mr. Xue misunderstood me. Liang Baoguang shook his head with a smile, "It's just you who I don't respect, nothing else." ”
