Chapter 219: Watching a Movie Because of Patriotism
"It's a bit 'shabby', but it's still ...... It's really 'magnificent'~"
In the reception hall on the first floor of the DSP main office building, compared with the staff who were hurrying by, Li Zhenfan, who stood quietly in the center of the hall and watched the 4-meter-high full-body portrait of Li Xiaozhi on one wall, looked quite eye-catching. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. ο½iqugeγ ο½ο½fo
Born in 1971, it stands to reason that he is older than Li Xiaozhi, and it should be the latter to go to the appointment, but who asked Li Zhen to ask someone to come, although Xue Jingqiu communicated in it, but it was just a word, and it was hard to say whether the matter could be completed in the end.
"Li Zhenfan xi, please come with me, I will lead the way for you~", I have already called to inform you, Li Xiaozhi now has time, the receptionist with a beautiful face and a slender figure came over and said.
"Well, I'm sorry for you." , I have been preparing for a long time, and I can finally meet today, Li Zhenfan, who came back to his senses, hurriedly nodded and responded.

"Lee Hyo-ji, it's an honor to meet you~"
Even if he wears a lot, you can see that he has a slightly thin figure, his hair is not carefully groomed, and even a little messy, and he is carrying a brown men's long shoulder bag with no brand. This is his first impression of Li Xiaozhi, he can't see that he is a director at all, and he is also the 'shelf' that a director who has worked with actor Xue Jingqiu should have.
The meeting place of the two was not chosen in Li Xiaozhi's so-called 'office', but in the formal reception room, and after greeting him, Li Xiaozhi stretched out his hand to signal him to sit, and then sat on the main seat.
"I'm not a person who can speak well, so I'd better get straight to the point," Li Zhenfan, who had already lowered his posture, took out a document from his satchel and got up and handed it over.
"Oh? Coincidentally, I'm not a person who does things around the corner......", I took the information but didn't look at it, Li Xiaozhi casually put them aside, "To be honest, I'm not interested in your book at all, as for you want me to take over this movie and star in it, it depends on your 'ability', whether you can convince me~"
The script given by Xue Jingqiu before Li Xiaozhi has not read less, and has studied it for a long time, but it is really not brilliant in terms of content, and there is not even any novelty at all, but it is a classic, written and directed by French director Luc Besson, starring Jean Reno, Gary Oldman and Natalie Portman, released in 1994 "This Killer Is Not Too Cold" and Luc Besson as the screenwriter, directed by Pierre Morrell, Liam Neeson, Famick Jensen, The action movie "Hurricane Rescue" starring Maggie Grace is just a blend, although it can't be called 'plagiarism', but the general content is the same.
I thought in advance that he was not so good at 'talking', but I never expected it to be so difficult to 'deal with', and the materials prepared in advance could not be used, Li Zhenfan could only reorganize his thoughts and said: "I don't know if Li Xiaozhi Xi still remembers the filmmaker demonstration incident triggered by Zheng's government's decision to cut the film quota four years ago?" β
"Since my debut in 1985, not to mention four years ago, I participated in the protest in December 1998, including the later ...... of the 'skinhead movement'", half of my life has been related to film art, Li Xiaozhi has personally experienced a lot of incidents, and the film quota cut incident that Li Zhenfan said happened before he returned to China.
If you want to talk about the history of Korean films, then we have to mention the quota system of Korean films, because the early Korean film industry was extremely naΓ―ve, with limited output and limited quality, and at the same time, the capital and talents required for industrial development are relatively scarce. However, in recent years, with the popularity of Korean films in the international market and the gradual maturity of the Korean film market, there was once a 'watching movies for patriotism', which caused more and more controversy over the film quota system. However, after all, this kind of reduction is an issue related to the interests of filmmakers and the national industry, and since 1998, there have been no fewer 'protests' between the Korean government and filmmakers, and basically every few years there will be a 'breakout' because of this issue.
What Li Zhenfan is talking about is the 2006 street demonstration of South Korean filmmakers against the Zheng government's decision to cut the local film quota system, almost all filmmakers poured out of their nests, and even many actresses put down their glamorous film and television images, braved the cold wind, and sat in the silent demonstration.
"Since Li Xiaozhi Xi knows, then the final result should also be clear, as a film artist, don't you want to contribute to our country's film industry?" , the positive is obviously ineffective, looking at Li Xiaozhi's attitude, Li Zhenfan had to use the method of 'curve to save the country' to persuade him: "In recent years, the downturn of our country's local film industry has become more and more serious, although there are also a few special movies during the period, but they are generally ......"
Before he finished speaking, Li Xiaozhi raised his hand and interrupted: "Do you think my comeback will have so much influence?" This situation has continued not in recent years, but since the beginning of the Korean film industry. β
Since I came here today, I don't want to give up like this, Li Zhenfan couldn't help frowning and replied: "Having said that, I think Lee Hyo-ji's comeback is nothing less than a 'heart booster', and it just so happens that the Korean film industry is in great need of this needle." β
"Hehe~", Li Zhenfan said that he was not good at words, but he did not lie, this persuasion effect is really not convincing at all, Li Xiaozhi waved his hand helplessly, "Your method of 'saving the country with curves' has no effect on me at all, let's talk about your understanding of this movie or shooting ideas." β
Although he was tough-mouthed, but in the end, he was soft-hearted, and Li Xiaozhi decided to give him another chance to convince himself.

PS: The film quota system is a film protection policy, which stipulates that imported films must be in a certain proportion with domestic films. In 2006, for example, the government of South Korea stipulated that movie theaters must show at least 146 days of local films per room each year, but at the end of January, the government announced that the number of days for movie theaters to show local movies would be reduced to 73 days, a full halve.
