Chapter 19: Hollywood's Great Directors

The first time he attended a party abroad, Han Taejun was still a little nervous, especially on the weekend, when Han Taejun walked into the party hall and glanced up at the guests.

It is no exaggeration to say that the first reaction was that Han Tae-joon thought it was a gathering of Hollywood directors.

In front of the first table on the left, director Spielberg with champagne in his hand is exchanging something with a gentleman-looking man, and James Cameron and Peter Jackson are getting together at a table behind director Spielberg.

These three are directors that Han Tae-joon is very familiar with, and in addition to them, Quentin Tarantino, Francis Ford Coppola and others are also present.

Lee Seung-yi's father saw Han Tae-jun coming and walked over with a wine glass, he was the protagonist of the banquet, although Han Tae-jun didn't know what Lee Seung-yi's father was in the American film and television industry, maybe he was just an investor.

"Come, I'll introduce you to you."

Opportunity, if you can encounter such an opportunity in life, if you don't cherish it, you are creating evil.

Han Taejun knew very well what he should do and say, followed the footsteps of Li Chengyi's father to Spielberg, pointed to Han Taejun, Li Chengyi's father's introduction was somewhat exaggerated, and said with a smile: "Steven, this is Han Taejun, a young director from South Korea, and the executive of our company's investment in the film and television industry in South Korea. ”

"Wow, nice to meet you."

Holding hands, Han Taejun and Spielberg looked at each other, this absolute look exudes an easy-going temperament, on the surface he looks like an uncle, there is no aura behind him, and he does not feel superior when he speaks.

"It's my pleasure to meet you."

"SO, may I ask about director Han Tae-joon's representative work? Actually, I'm still very interested in Asian film culture, and there are a few actors from the East in Hollywood, and they are all very good. ”

Han Tae-joon knows what Spielberg is talking about, such as Bruce Lee in the early years, Jackie Chan now, Zhang Ziyi and others, the only one in South Korea that according to Han Tae-joon's knowledge is Lee Byung-hun, Rina has not entered Hollywood at this time.

"The theme of Zuò's representative work is the gangster incident that occurred in South Korea in the 90s of the last century, which is dominated by fight scenes and brotherhood and affection, which should be known to few people."

"Really? What is the movie called, I will go and see it when I have time. ”

Obviously, this is a polite remark, Han Taejun knows it very well, but it is also an opportunity for Han Taejun, and said with a smile: "Crime and war, last year the company produced a disaster-themed movie called Hanjiang Monster, the director can watch it if he has time, of course, if I have the opportunity, I would very much like to learn from the director about film shooting." ”

After chatting a few words and taking a sip of champagne, Han Taejun went to Cameron's side again, Cameron and Jackson were already talking about movies, and the familiar directors at tonight's party were also curious about each other, Li Chengyi's father is indeed their film investor, almost every film will invest, and he is also an influential person in culture and entertainment in the United States, I heard that there is a young director from South Korea who wants to introduce him.

Seeing Han Taejun's first impression, the two just smiled, frowned lightly and gathered their cups to say hello, they didn't have any curiosity about Han Taejun, and after the introduction, they just casually asked some masterpieces or something, just like Spielberg before.

Exchanging business cards, Han Taejun thought that he should exchange contact information first, and I hope to be able to get in touch in the future, this is what I must do now.

The other party is also willing to exchange business cards with Han Taejun, for the sake of Li Chengyi's father's face, Han Taejun didn't think that coming to the United States to talk about the company's affairs would have such an unexpected gain, Li Chengyi's father took Han Taejun to walk around the party hall The introduction is like paving the way for Han Taejun.

After a lap, Li Chengyi's father raised his glass to the stage and greeted everyone present and said: "I am very happy that everyone can gather together today, and thank you all for participating in this party and toasting to the movie." ”

"Cheers"

Standing in the corner on the right, Han Taejun was not inferior, but he didn't take the initiative to communicate with many people present, in addition to Spielberg, there were several Hollywood stars around him, among which Will Smith was really humorous and very suitable for chatting.

Going to Spielberg's side Han Tae-jun was originally just to exchange a business card, and when he heard that Han Tae-jun was also a director and producer, Smith asked a lot curiously, and Han Tae-jun unconsciously said something about the movie, and when it came to possible future cooperation movies, Han Tae-jun told a brief introduction to the story of a movie.

As soon as the synopsis of this story came out, Spielberg was very interested, and asked Han Taejun if he had a specific outline, Han Taejun shook his head with a smile and said: "Not yet, if there is, I will contact you, I hope to be able to communicate at that time." ”

This is a skill, Han Taejun can actually say the outline of the movie immediately on the spot, there may be many directors who are interested, and there are also many directors who are impressed by Han Taejun, but that is not the result that Han Taejun wants, the reality is so, Han Taejun has no second bargaining chip except for the story, which makes no sense to Han Taejun at all, he still needs time, at least until next year, during which it is a critical period for preparing people in South Korea.

The other side of the globe

Just as Han Tae-joon attended a gathering of well-known Hollywood directors and actors, the news reports were overwhelming.

I don't know where the news agency got the news, and it also attached a photo of Han Tae-joon chatting with several directors, including a photo of Spielberg and Will Smith talking happily, with the caption "Han Tae-joon of ZK Manufacturing's trip to the United States or facilitating a partnership with Hollywood." ”

Not far behind, several other news agencies have come up with headlines such as: "ZK Rushing Out of Asia to the World", "Han Tae-joon's Ambitions", "ZK Will Reach That Height", "South Korea's MGM or Global." ”

Han Tae-joon, who is in the United States, is preparing to return to South Korea, in the villa of Li Chengyi's house, Han Tae-joon, who received a call from the chairman of the company, can't help frowning, the current news hot search in South Korea is all about Han Tae-joon, the real purpose of this trip to the United States is not to contact Hollywood, so the purpose of being picked out and misinterpreted is not a bad thing, but the pressure from all aspects of holding people up to the queen will force you to not be able to raise your head or even fall to the bottom.

"Tae-joon, you're a popular star in South Korea now." Li Chengyi also saw the news from the Internet.

Shaking his head and smiling bitterly, Han Taejun said bluntly: "Uncle Li should sue me for becoming like this, isn't it?" At least in terms of styling, I will fix it with hairspray, and look at the hairstyle in the photo that is obviously not carefully prepared. ”

"You mean we made you like this?"

"Isn't it? I admire Uncle Li and your father, who are really good businessmen who can juggle and solve a lot of problems at the same time, just a party and that's it. ”
