Lin Quanze's old face was flushed, but he didn't know how to respond to Lin Youlun's question.

"Korean filmmakers either blame the government for the lack of adequate protection measures for local films, or blame other regional films for invading South Korea. If most Korean filmmakers think the same way as Director Lim, then I can understand why Korean films have won nothing in overseas film awards over the years. ”

Lin Youlun's words made Lin Quanze extremely ashamed, and he just wanted to turn his head and leave immediately, instead of continuing to stay here and be ridiculed by Lin Youlun.

Lim didn't leave in the end because he came with a specific purpose and wouldn't stop because of some sharp criticism of Korean films by Lim Yoo-lun.

Lin Quanze came to Lin Youlun this time because he watched the movie "Godzilla" at the film festival, and he was very touched, and he felt that the Japanese could make such a movie like "Godzilla" with the help of Lin Youlun, and the Koreans could do the same.

Lin Quanze originally wanted to invite Lin Youlun to collaborate with Korean filmmakers to make such a movie, but after Lin Youlun met, he didn't even give him a chance to make this request, and wanted to leave in a hurry.

What I didn't expect was that this questioning turned out to be humiliating to himself, and at this time Lin Youlun stayed, but Lin Quanze didn't know how to speak.

Lin Youlun's side, in fact, doesn't really want to completely offend Lin Quanze, after all, he does have a lot of influence in the Korean film industry. Really annoyed him. I can't figure it out to go back this time. If he really gathered a group of people to engage in a "skinhead movement" against Hong Kong films, it would be more than worth the loss.

"Director Lim, I can understand your dissatisfaction and concern about the current situation of the Korean film industry, but I think there are some problems with your ideas, first of all, Korean filmmakers should reflect on themselves, of course, the external environment is also a very important reason. Hong Kong films started relatively early, and they were not subject to much government regulation in the process of development. After so many years of free development, I don't think it's surprising that South Korea has achieved some results ahead of South Korea, and if South Korea wants to catch up with the development of Hong Kong films, it is actually not a particularly difficult thing, the key is to find the right way. ”

Lin Youlun's words finally made Lin Quanze's face look better.

The South Korean government's control of films began to be loosened in the 70s, while Hong Kong had already earned a reputation as the Hollywood of the East. In the 80s, Korean art films began to attract attention at major film festivals in the world, and international film critics called these works "Korean New Cinema" and "Korean New Wave", but at this time, Korean films still did not have a box office in China. At this time, fully commercialized Hong Kong films have begun to seize the market in Asian countries and conquer the city.

"I have to admit it. The rapid development of Hong Kong films has a lot to do with the opening of the external market, and the development of Hong Kong films is actually like walking a tightrope now. The same problem, when Korean films develop to the point where Hong Kong films are today, they will also inevitably encounter them, or if Korean films want to rise, it is impossible to rely only on their own market and audience, and they can only go to the same path of external expansion as Hong Kong films. ”

Lin Quanze's lips moved, wanting to refute Lin Youlun's point of view, but after thinking about it seriously, he also felt that what Lin Youlun said was indeed reasonable, after all, South Korea is only a country with a population of only tens of millions, and Hong Kong is only a difference between 100 steps and 50 steps, and a movie like "Godzilla", if it only relies on the local Korean market, even if all audiences buy tickets to watch this movie, it is impossible to recover the cost.

"When I decided to shoot "Godzilla" last year, some Japanese media asked me and Director Lin similar questions, and I put forward such a point of view at that time, some filmmakers in Japan and South Korea regard Hong Kong films as a threat, and local filmmakers can have such a consciousness awakening, I think this is a good thing in itself, but you are all mistaken about where the real threat comes from."

Lin Quanze raised his eyebrows, and immediately understood what Lin Youlun meant.

"Mr. Lin is referring to Hollywood?"

Lin Youlun nodded, "On the premise that Hong Kong films occupy the film markets of East and South Asian countries, there is no way to get rid of their dependence on the North American film market. Take the movie "Godzilla" as an example, if it is made by Americans, they only need to recoup the market in their home market and make a profit, and if it is invested by Hong Kong people to shoot a movie, if it is only released in Asia, they will not even be able to recover the cost. ”

Lin Quanze had a contemplative expression, in the past, he only stood at the current development height of Korean films, and naturally he didn't feel the threat of Hollywood, but listening to Lin Youlun's analysis from the perspective of Hong Kong films, he suddenly felt that the threat of Hollywood was much greater than that of Hong Kong movies.

"Is there nothing you can do to stop it?"

"As long as the whole of Asian cinema is united, it is possible to have the strength to compete with Hollywood, and I know that it is very difficult, but there is no other way." Lin Youlun said with a serious face.

"Speaking of which, Mr. Lam is still defending Hong Kong films for invading the markets of other countries, right?" Lin Quanze suddenly changed his words and said such a sentence.

He thought that Lin Youlun would defend himself, but he didn't expect Lin Youlun to admit this directly.

"I can only say that the present of Hong Kong films is the future of Korean films, and giving Hong Kong films a chance is actually giving Korean films a chance in the future."

"Empty words, doesn't Mr. Lin think it makes more sense to take some practical actions than to convince me now?" Lin Quanze finally rounded the problem back.

"I wonder what kind of actions Director Lu Daolin needs me to prove?" Lin Youlun asked.

"It's very simple, since Mr. Lin can cooperate with Japan to shoot "Godzilla", why not cooperate with Korean filmmakers to make some films?"

Lin Youlun glanced at Lin Quanze, "This is the real purpose of Director Lin coming to me today?" ”

Lin Quanze nodded.

"Okay, no problem, now I have a suitable script in my hand, but ......" Lin Youlun raised his hand and looked at his watch, "The time for me to make an appointment with someone else is coming soon, can Director Lin let me go to the appointment first, about cooperation, I will talk to you specifically when I go back, do you think this is okay?" ”

Lin Quanze thought that Lin Youlun was perfunctory again, and hurriedly said: "Mr. Lin, is this what you call sincerity?" ”

Lin Youlun was really a little speechless by this stubborn old man, "Then what do you want me to do?" ”

"Didn't Mr. Lin say that there is already a script? Tell me this story briefly, and I'll apologize to you just to make sure you're not talking nonsense! Lin Quanze insisted.

Lin Youlun looked at the time again, nodded helplessly and said, "Okay, but we can only talk about it in detail on the road!" ”

——

On the way to pick up Zhou Comin by car, Lin Youlun described the general plot of the movie to Lin Quanze.

"She is a new doctor, and she is about to leave her secluded lakeside cottage for the development of a big hospital. Before leaving, she left a letter in her mailbox, hoping that the next resident would help with the letter. Kai is a young and aspiring architect, living in a lakeside cottage designed by his father, one day he received a letter written by Joe, and he didn't know what to do, thinking that the other party was joking, but then he was shocked to find that he and Joe were in a time point 2 years apart, and the two became each other's pen pals in surprise, and they felt each other's existence through letters again and again in different spaces. As love grows, Kai decides to meet Joe. ”

Lin Youlun's time and space setting of this story made Lin Quanze feel very interesting, and at the same time, he was also guessing how the plot would develop next, the biggest possibility was nothing more than that the two people finally came together after various misunderstandings and difficulties.

Sure enough, what Lin Youlun said next was not much different from Lin Quanze, but in terms of specific details, Lin Quanze was pleasantly surprised again.

Kai booked a place in the restaurant for two years, and Joe showed up, but Kai didn't show up, and the disappointed Joe thought that this time was over and stopped communicating with Kai. Kai didn't know that Lu Dao's future self didn't go to the appointment, so he kept writing to Joe, and after getting no reply, he gave the hut to another person in frustration, and he didn't know that Lu Dao was Joe's boyfriend at this time.

When Joe and her boyfriend are choosing a house on Valentine's Day, they accidentally find out that Kai had died 2 years ago, and it was the stranger who died in his arms 2 years ago, so he rushed to the lake hut and told Kai not to look for her through a letter. Later, Kay changes history, he receives the letter in time and waits for two years before finally seeing Joe in a hurry.

The most wonderful thing about the whole story is this kind of setting that crosses time and space, influences and changes each other, and what is even more rare is to use such an ingenious setting to arrange a romantic love story.

After Lin Youlun finished speaking, Lin Quanze thought about it for a long time, and then remembered to ask Lin Youlun what the name of this story was.

"Untouchable lovers!"

Lin Quanze carefully reflected on the answer given by Lin Youlun, and felt that there was indeed no more suitable name than this. (To be continued......)
