has been entertaining in South Korea for so long, and Yoon Tianyou asked himself if he has not yet grasped the true spirit of entertainment.

Seeing that he was still pondering, Tsui Hark continued: "Let me tell you, as long as the mainland has an open policy and we make things, then the things we make will definitely be better than before." You see, the "Dragon Gate Flying Armor" and "Di Renjie" series directed by me require a large amount of capital investment and advanced shooting equipment, and today's investors can meet my needs. Like this time, the filming of "Outwitting Tiger Mountain" is also based on this reason, so the leader of world movies in the future is in the mainland, not that I am joking, no matter how good your Korean movies are, they are only limited to China, and if you want to dominate internationally, you have to watch our Chinese movies! "Permission is full of pride.

"So the momentum is good." Yin Tianyou is not embarrassed, he is Chinese, with the blood of a dragon, and he is happy from the bottom of his heart when Chinese movies rise.

Tsui Hark nodded, "For now, it's not bad, but it's not without worries." Chinese people are like this, they like to swarm bees, and as soon as they see that this thing is making money, they will settle down together. So now the industry is a bit chaotic, this is domestic. As for the international aspect, China's big fat meat has long made Hollywood's big giants drool. Once upon a time, because this was the field of spiritual products, the state had always been on top. Now that the development is too fast, the restrictions have been relaxed, and those gringos have also followed suit, saying that they cannot be treated differently and that they must be treated equally.

"It's also a good thing to say that, as soon as we co-produce more films with foreign countries, we can learn from their more advanced technology, especially for directors like me who do special effects, and their avatars. Transformers, and the Lord of the Rings have long been drooling. When I absorb their essence, I will be satisfied. In a word. If we can't take advantage of this time to make ourselves stronger, sooner or later the market will be eaten alive. ”

"In this way, it can be regarded as a coexistence of challenges and opportunities."

"Huh." Tsui Hark smiled when he heard Yin Tianyou say this, "What you said sounds very much like the official statement of the mainland, but if you really want to say it, it will mean almost the same." ”

"Then I want to know, if you want to have a place in the future of China's entertainment industry, what should you do?"

"Hmm......" Tsui Hark thought for a moment. replied, "At present, the most popular thing in your South Korea in the mainland is variety shows, such as what is the remake of "Two Days and One Night", "Where Did Dad Go", and "Grandpa Over Flowers", etc., so it should be placed in the production of variety shows, film and television distribution, and program copyright trade. ”

"Say so. Do you think I should also cooperate with the mainland in variety shows? ”

"That's right."

Yin Tianyou was silent for a while, and suddenly said: "Then why can't I cooperate with the mainland to make a movie?" ”

Hearing this, Tsui Hark smiled. "It's not that I underestimate you, today's Sino-Korean co-productions. Almost none of them are successful, like the "Pen Fairy" series, which seems to make money. In fact, it lost money, not to mention the earliest "Zhongtian". "Flying Dance", and more recently, "Breakup Contract". "The Great Ming Gorilla" and so on. But one thing I have to be sure of is that the special effects in Korea are really good, and I like Daming Gorilla very much. “

When it comes to the study of films, Xu Laowei has the most right to speak, and he also knows very well about the understanding of Korean films, especially in recent years, mainland films and Korean teams have become very close, and several of Tsui Hark's films have the shadow of Korean teams, so in Tsui Hark's view, it is not impossible for South Korea to enter the mainland, at least their special effects team is great, but when it comes to cooperative filmmaking, it is really not very down-to-earth, whether it is a romance film that South Korea is good at, or a martial arts film that is suitable for both places, it is not popular in the mainland market.

Think about it, Hong Kong filmmakers have gone through so many years of running-in to co-produce films in the mainland, from 00 to 14 years, a full 14 years have only been a little better, with directors like Tsui Hark, Chen Kexin, and Yip Weixin who can be familiar with mainland life and have strong creativity, Korean filmmakers are so far away from the mainland, seeing that the mainland is developing well, it is like coming to get a piece of the pie, is it too easy to think.

Of course, Yin Tianyou understood what Tsui Hark meant, so he thought about it and said to Tsui Hark: "So, if I just fund and direct, find a screenwriter from the mainland or Hong Kong, and write a real Chinese story, what is the chance of success?" ”

Tsui Hark smiled: "It depends on what story you write." Good stories know no geography and borders, such as "Titanic" and "Avatar" are very popular with people all over the world. ”

Yin Tianyou smiled, and then told the story he had been thinking about in his heart, "I want to shoot China's "Journey to the West"! ”

"Ahem, ahem!" Tsui Hark was directly choked by Yin Tianyou's words.

"What? "Journey to the West"? ”

"Yes, in my opinion, this is the best subject, and it is also the most difficult subject to shoot, and the content of the story is known to almost everyone in the world, and the problem is how to shoot well." Yin Tianyou replied very calmly.

Tsui Hark's expression was very strange, he looked at Yin Tianyou, and said after a while: "Can I say that you have been prepared for a long time - the theme of "Journey to the West" is the dream of all directors, do you really want to challenge it?" ”

Yin Tianyou nodded again, "I personally don't think there will be a problem with this shooting concept, but I think there is still a small problem, and that is the problem of the screenwriter." To choose a paragraph of this well-known story well, it is not something that those screenwriters on the table can do, they are too restrained in doing things. And this script is a fantasy magic drama, because the world of demons and monsters really needs imagination, and it requires the screenwriter's skills and imagination to be ...... enough."

"That's right, to make a truly grand magical blockbuster, but also to have the subtlety of the details, this is really not something that everyone can do." Tsui Hark nodded and said.

Yin Tianyou suddenly laughed, and when Tsui Hark saw him laughing strangely, he instantly understood-"You don't want me to be the screenwriter of this play, do you?" "The younger generation has this intention, but it seems that I am too sorry for you to only let the senior be the screenwriter, so I also want to invite you to be the director of this play!"

Tsui Hark was completely stunned.

After a while, Fang said: "This is what you have already designed, and you have made such a big bend." The final purpose is to want me to film for you? “

Yin Tianyou smiled slightly, "This is just a sincere invitation from the juniors." You won't say no, will you? “

Tsui Hark frowned and shook his head. "I can't answer you right away. However, I'm really interested in this theme, and I'm curious about what kind of miracles the Korean special effects team and our Chinese myths and stories will create—"

"Senior, I am also Chinese." Yoon Tianyou suddenly said, "It's just living in South Korea." “

Don't underestimate Yin Tianyou's sudden words, which instantly made Tsui Hark have a decision. "Oh well. Since everyone is Chinese, it is better to discuss, but the matter is big, especially such cooperation, it is best not to publicize it first, so as not to cause storms. ”

"I know." Yin Tianyou had almost received the answer, so he nodded, stood up and said goodbye, and Tsui Hark hurried to see him off.

When he walked to the living room, Yin Tianyou couldn't help but ask, "Was it Zhou Xingchi who came to you just now?" ”

"yes." Tsui Hark nodded.

Yin Tianyou asked again: "Is it convenient to ask what he is doing here?" ”

"Oh......" Tsui Hark smiled. His "Journey to the West", which was released the year before last, was a box office hit, and now he is planning a new movie called "Mermaid" and wants to invite me to make a guest appearance, and of course, to do a special effects guide. Speaking of this, Tsui Hark looked proud. Who is Chow Xingchi, and he is also a well-known figure in Hong Kong and even in the Asian film industry, but such a character is so sincere to ask himself for tips on special effects shooting.

But Yin Tianyou didn't think about it so much. Instead, he was surprised: "You mean he filmed "Journey to the West" last year?" ”

"Why, didn't you report such a big thing in South Korea?"

Yin Tianyou hurriedly shook his head. "No, I just didn't think of that." Suddenly, he said: "If I am, I will also invite him to join this play." The result? ”

"What?" Tsui Hark's eyes widened.

……

As a top director in Hong Kong, Tsui Hark never thought that one day he would be able to cooperate with Zhou Xingchi, not because he was unwilling, but because Zhou Xingchi is a well-known "difficult one" in the circle. Directors who have worked with him before, such as Wang Jing , To Qifeng, etc., all parted ways with him and vowed never to communicate again.

To put it bluntly, Zhou Xingchi's popularity is too poor, and many people can't stand his bad temper.

Of course, if Yin Tianyou has the ability to convince Zhou Xingchi, Tsui Hark doesn't mind cooperating with him, after all, in the circle, you have to try everything, and what will happen to the movies made by two masters with different styles together, Tsui Hark himself is also very curious.

Although he is in South Korea, Yin Tianyou also knows that Zhou Xingchi is notoriously "difficult" in the Chinese film industry. However, he is the kind of person who does not believe in evil, so after leaving Tsui Hark's private studio, Yin Tianyou took a taxi directly to Xinghui Company to find Zhou Xingchi, who had just met once.

Founded in 1996, Rastar is located at Kam Hing Building, 20 Hill Forest Road, Tsim Sha Tsui, Hong Kong, specializing in high-quality, highly entertaining films. Released in Hong Kong in 1996, the film "God of Food" grossed over HK$40 million and became a hit across Southeast Asia. Later, "Yangtze River No. 7", "Kung Fu" and so on also helped the company to make a lot of profits.

However, according to Hong Kong counterparts, Xinghui's reputation in Hong Kong is not satisfactory. Although the Chi family is rich and can be regarded as one of the richest people in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, the office environment of Xinghui Company is too shabby, and the acting quality of the company's staff also needs to be strengthened urgently, and more importantly, Chi only focuses on his own career development, and cares about the company's artists almost casually.

Hong Kong colleagues also gave an example, the actor and screenwriter Lin Zicong (the fat brother in "Shaolin Football"), who has worked hard with Stephen Chow for many years, and he is bent on directing movies himself. But Xinghui Company did not provide an opportunity, and in the end he could only join Andy Lau's Asian Rising Star Director Program, and with Andy Lau's support, he realized his wish and wrote and directed the movie "Drinking Tea".

In short, as the boss of Xinghui Company, Zhou Xingchi is the actual person in charge here, but now Xing Ye does not stay in the company most of the time, because he also has an identity, that is, the executive director of Bigao Group, and this has also become the gravity of Xing Ye's development towards the film industry.

However, Yin Tianyou's luck today is obviously very good, Zhou Xingchi actually returned to Xinghui Company after leaving Tsui Hark Xu's studio, perhaps because he saw that other people's studios were in order, and he hadn't taken care of them for a long time, which made Zhou Xingchi think of returning to the company to deal with some affairs.

Yin Tianyou came out to greet Yin Tianyou was a woman who looked lazy and lazy with glasses, and it seemed that she was the female secretary of this company.

However, when the lazy female secretary saw Yin Tianyou for the first time, her eyes lit up and she became extremely affectionate, "FIVE, are you really FIVE?" Hehe, hello, hello, my name is Shirley-"

"Shirley, hello, I've already called before."

"Yes, I've already arranged it for you."

Yin Tianyou's charm is endless, although in Hong Kong, he is also a male god in the minds of many women, and the secretary Shirley is no exception. At the moment, both eyes are almost obsessed.

Seeing Shirley's appearance, Yin Tianyou was a little embarrassed, so he had to divert the topic: "That, is Master Xing here?" ”

"He's in there." Shirley pointed to the inside and said, but her eyes did not leave Yin Tianyou.

"Is it convenient to get in?" Yin Tianyou asked again.

"Of course, of course." Shirley said, then came back to her senses and walked in with Yin Tianyou.

When he walked inside, Yin Tianyou saw Zhou Xingchi looking at some information at hand in the office, and when he saw Yin Tianyou coming in, he stood up, Yin Tianyou took the initiative to step forward, stretched out his hand and said, "Hello, Mr. Zhou, I am from South Korea, and I like your movies very much." ”

Zhou Xingchi looked at Yin Tianyou slightly, then smiled and reached out to shake his hand, "Sit down and talk." ”

The two of them sat down separately. After sitting down, Yin Tianyou saw Zhou Xingchi's true appearance, and he felt a little overdrawn, looking a little tired and tired. The person is also slightly older than on the screen, with a lot of dyed white hair mixed between his hair, but it makes him more and more vicissitudes, compared with the laughing star on the screen, the person in front of him seems so old and real.

In general, the gap between the real Zhou Xingchi and the Zhou Xingchi on the screen is full of Yin Tianyou.

The star on the screen is the invincible king of comedy;

Then the one in front of him is a middle-aged and melancholy man with gray hair in the vegetable market.

There is no aura, no laughter and scolding, there is just loneliness and loneliness.

Heroes are invincible.

Invincible, the loneliest. (To be continued.) )
