Chapter 114: Kang Di-gyu's Expectations
readx;
When Han Kwonwoo walked into the Lotte Cinema with BIGBANG and his party, he unexpectedly noticed the arrival of a person. Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info
"Ah~~~ Director Jiang Digui, you're here too!" Looking at Director Jiang Digui who was looking at him with a smile on his face, Han Quanyou couldn't help but be excited, and he was also very moved to walk forward quickly, bow and say hello.
For director Kang Digui, Han Quanyou is very respectful, and it was because of the support of director Kang Digui that Han Quanyou had the opportunity to successfully participate in the epic blockbuster of Korean film history "Taiji Flag Flying", and received a very good response and various praises.
Of course, more importantly, it is precisely because of director Kang Di-gyu and the movie "Tai Chi Flag Flying" that Han Quanyou really stepped into the film world and opened a new door.
If Director Jiang Digui did not resist the public opinion and pressure from all sides, or even in order to protect Han Quanyou from the influence and interference of public opinion from the outside world, he specially blocked the entire crew and the set, so that Han Quanyou could calm down and concentrate on filming the movie "Taiji Flag Flying".
Otherwise, I am afraid that Han Quanyou at that time would have left the crew gloomily because of countless public opinion and pressure from the outside world.
You must know that Han Quanyou at that time was just a newcomer who had just emerged and was somewhat strong. The more important thing is to be a singer, not an actor.
If it weren't for Director Kang Di-gyu's encouragement, support and protection, if it had been known to the outside world that Han Kwon-woo, who had just debuted a few years ago, actually cooperated with director Kang Di-gyu, collaborated with Jang Dong-kyun and Won Bin, and participated in one of the most invested films in South Korea, I am afraid that countless people would have already clamored and started attacking Han Kwon-woo.
At the same time, it is also because of the success of the movie "Tai Chi Flag Flying" that Han Quanyou has confidence in movies and acting. Although there is a golden finger, it must be said that the reason why Han Quanyou focuses on movies in Hollywood, USA, instead of his first professional singer, is somewhat influenced by the golden finger and the movie "Tai Chi Flag Flying".
Although I haven't had the opportunity to meet and chat with Director Jiang Digui over the years, my respect for Director Jiang Digui has not decreased by half a point because of the passage of time, but on the contrary, it has become more and more.
Especially Han Quanyou became a director himself, and after learning about the movie, he realized that director Jiang Digui had to deal with so much pressure and determination to recruit himself into the crew of the movie "Tai Chi Flag Flying".
"Hehe, can you not come, you must know that today is the premiere of the first movie of the world star fire returning to South Korea, of course I want to support it well and cheer for it."
Director Kang Digui laughed and patted Han Quanyou's arm, then helped Han Quanyou up with both hands, looked at Han Quanyou carefully a few times, and then nodded with satisfaction.
"Well, yes, now you are more and more energetic, more and more handsome, and more mature and stable than before! It's good, it's very good! ”
Jiang Digui's sentence is more like an elder, and he is relieved to watch the younger generation grow up and become a talent, which moved Han Quanyou even more.
"Hehe, Director Jiang Digui, you are too polite, I am still the hairy boy I was back then, I still have a long way to go, and there is still a lot to learn. And you, the seniors, are our best role models, and there are too many places that are worth learning from our juniors. ”
In front of director Kang Digui, Han Kwonwoo really couldn't get up.
"Haha, Kwon You, you're too polite, you must know that you are now a world superstar, your influence and fans are all over the world, I don't have this ability!"
Jiang Digui couldn't help but smile and shook his head, then put his hand on Han Quanyou's shoulder and gave Han Quanyou a try.
Although Han Quanyou didn't know what Director Kang Di-gyu had to tell him, he still nodded, followed Kang Di-gyu's hand on his shoulder, and walked towards the corner.
When the two came to the corner, a distance of a few meters around, there was basically no one, Director Kang Digui stopped, came back to his senses and looked at Han Quanyou a few times again, and couldn't help sighing.
"Kwon You, to be honest, what you have achieved now is really beyond my imagination. I never imagined that a newcomer I admired at the beginning would become a world superstar in a few years! ”
Thinking of the hairy boy who had been screaming and pinching each other with Yuan Bin in the crew, he has now become the world's top superstar, and has unparalleled appeal and popularity in Asia, the United States, and even the world.
The SS company he founded has now become the hegemon of the Korean music scene and a pivotal force in Asian music.
This series of changes is really amazing, so that Director Jiang Digui is a little breathless, some can't bear it, or can't accept it.
Can you accept it, it has only been eight years since his debut, and he has already gone from a hairy boy who has just debuted to the head of the overlord of the Korean pop music scene, and he also has a transcendent status in the actor circle.
Not only that, but also became the world's top international superstar, swept the Academy Awards, and almost became the great one of the Academy Awards records, ("Ben Hur", "Titanic", "The Lord of the Rings 3 The Return of the King") Although he did not succeed in breaking the eleven awards in the end, he can definitely proudly hold his head high to the world, and exude his kingly spirit with his hands raised.
"Kwon Woo, do you know, now you are the hope of our Korean films, I hope you can make persistent efforts to support and save the Korean film market. I don't want to see the day when our Korean film market, like Thai music, will be completely monopolized and ruled by other countries! ”
Han Kwon Woo: "......"
The Thai music market is monopolized and dominated, isn't it Korean music? Not only music, but also in terms of TV dramas, the situation of TV dramas in Thailand is also very bad. Dramas with an average rating of 25 in South Korea can reach more than 40 in Thailand, which is not good news for Thai dramas.
"Director, you are worried too much, you must know that the political axe has promulgated a law on the protection of local films, as long as we work hard, Korean films will not die!"
Speaking of South Korea's political axe's protection law for local films, Han Kwon Woo also has to sigh that South Korea is definitely the country with the most protection laws for all aspects of its own protection among all countries in the world. The items and specific contents that are protected are simply the first in the world.
In fact, in South Korea, it is generally said that there are two sets of official laws, one is the normal Korean law encyclopedia, and the other is the so-called domestic industry protection law.
For example, take the law on the protection of Korean films, any movie theater in South Korea basically has 146 years a year, that is, one-third of the time, and must only be able to show domestic Korean movies, not movies from the sea.
Even, considering that some movie theaters, in order to cope with the so-called local film protection law, deliberately arrange local films in audience halls with low popularity and low attendance, and leave audience halls with better seats, better facilities and higher popularity to screen overseas movies that are currently popular.
The political axe is now considering whether to plan the so-called 146 hours of Korean local films, from the beginning of the movie theater, to every big screen.
Kang Digui shook his head and said helplessly: "I admit that the local film protection law of the political axe has indeed saved and protected Korean local films to a large extent. But this is far from enough, after all, fans go to the cinema and watch movies, naturally they like to see high-quality, very wonderful movies, rather than choose to watch some bad movies. Therefore, even the protection law is useless, the main thing is the quality of the film, which is the key! ”
"You must know that the Local Film Protection Law only gives Korean local films a space and soil to survive at most. When you want to keep thriving, you still have to watch the movie itself! ”
Speaking of this, director Kang Digui glanced at Han Quanyou a few times, sighed and said: "Although I don't say anything on the surface, as a Korean, I naturally have the obligation and responsibility to revitalize the Korean film market." I've been working this goal all these years. Although there was some gain, it was far from what I expected. ”
At this time, Director Jiang Digui's face was a little gloomy, but then he seemed to think of something, raised his head excitedly, looked at Han Quanyou and said excitedly: "Originally, the Korean film market was like this, not dead or alive." But now it's different, and now because of you, you can save the film market of the Republic of Korea and fulfill the dream that I have always wanted to do, but I have never been able to do. ”
You are still the Republic of Korea, buddy I am an authentic Chinese, know no, buddy took you to his hometown in Hunan, China, a series of local dialects rushed out, shocking you to death.
Although he thinks so in his heart, Han Kwonwoo still maintains absolute respect for the great dream of director Kang Di-gyu. Yes, no matter what, as a Korean, Kang Di-gyu has always taken it as his responsibility to save and revitalize the Korean market, this kind of responsibility, this kind of dream, the Jedi is worthy of anyone's respect.
In fact, director Jiang Digui has always done this, don't look at director Jiang Digui's production is not high, but basically every movie can be a huge success, and it can also give a shot in the arm to the withered Korean market.
Director Kang Di-gyu said it politely, but for Korean films, it is definitely a savior existence. The original "Life and Death Butterfly Change" successfully saved the crumbling Korean film market and greatly enhanced the idea of Koreans entering the cinema and watching Korean local movies.
For this alone, director Kang Jee-gyu deserves the respect of all Korean filmmakers. After all, without director Kang Digui's original "Life and Death", perhaps the current Korean local film market basically has no room for survival and development.
And then "Taiji Flag Flying", which can be regarded as the first film released globally in the history of Korean films, although the box office in the overseas market is very average, and it can even be said to be miserable, but after all, it is a global release, for Korean films, it is only a small step, but it is a big step.
"Senior, I know what to say, and I don't dare to make any guarantees. The only thing I can guarantee is that I will definitely shoot more Korean films in the future, and if I can have any effect and influence on Korean films, it will be the best. But if there is no effect and influence, I will do my best to stick to Korean local films, which can be regarded as leaving a hope and a small space for Korean local films! ”
At present, this body is full of Koreans in all aspects, and Han Kwon Woo also understands the ultra-nationalism of Koreans very well over the years of life and experience, so he naturally has to follow the words of director Kang Dikyu, while speaking, he did not forget to add a sentence about the Republic of Korea.
No way, in South Korea, if the South Koreans call their country, if it is not the Republic of Korea, but directly South Korea, then congratulations, your fate is definitely even more miserable than Dou E.
"Good! Good! Good! With your words, I am also relieved, and I believe that you will be able to do this. To be honest, except for Kwon You, whether it is me, or Lim Kwon-taek, the father of Korean films, or even Lee Jun-ik, Bong Joon-ho, Park Chan-wook, ......, they can't save the Korean film market! ”
Han Kwon-woo was sweating profusely, Director Kang Di-gyu also took himself too seriously, these people were basically the top boss-level characters representing Korean movies. Alone, with two fists and feet, he can be more powerful than so many famous Korean film directors combined.
For director Kang Di-gyu's praise and expectations, Han Kwon-woo can only be modest. Lest he didn't do it himself, who knows if Jiang Digui, who has a strong ultra-nationalism, will come to the door and kill him.
"By the way, Kwon Woo, do you have any expectations for the movie "Brothers"?"
Finally, director Kang Di-gyu came back to his senses and once again shifted the topic to the movie "Brothers", and Han Kwonwoo couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.
"Of course, of course, there are expectations, I not only hope that the movie "Brothers" can surpass your predecessors' "Tai Chi Flag Flying", and it is better to surpass "The King's Man" and "Han River Monster", then it will be better!"
"Haha, you kid, ambitious, ambitious. But what you say, if Lee Jun-yi and Bong Joon-ho hear it, the two of them will definitely be very unhappy! Hearing Han Kwonwoo's bold words, director Kang Digui couldn't help laughing, which immediately attracted the attention of the people around him.
Fortunately, everyone was relatively sensible, knowing that Han Quanyou and Jiang Digui were standing there, as if they were going to talk about something, so everyone didn't come over to disturb the two.
"Of course, a soldier who does not want to be a general is not a good soldier. This sentence is to ease up and do not want to be the first in the field and work you are engaged in, such as what we now call movies. If I don't want my movie to be the best movie in Korea, the best movie, then I am not a good filmmaker. ”
Speaking of this, Han Quanyou is bullish. In such an exclusive and difficult situation in Hollywood, buddies were able to sweep the Academy Awards, let alone in this small place in South Korea.
"Haha, that's right, that's what you need, that's what you need to be domineering. By the way, how much do you hope the box office and number of viewers of the movie "Brothers" can reach? ”
In South Korea, movies are not only counted by the box office, but also by the number of people who watch the movie. Even if the reputation of the movie is very miserable, and most people scold it, is there no enthusiasm willing to ask you to shoot a second movie. But as long as you have a high number of movie viewers, then there are still people who are willing to invest in you.
After all, to a certain extent, the number of viewers of the movie is high, and the box office will naturally be high.
"Well~~~ My requirements are not very high, I just hope that the revenue of the movie "Brother" can exceed 100 million, and the number of viewers can be 15 million!"
Han Quanyou looked shy, a little embarrassed and said weakly, almost didn't let Jiang Digui go berserk.
You must know that in South Korea, the income of movies, not only by looking at the box office, but also by many other incomes, has to be calculated together.
Even "Monster of the Han River", the total income in the end is basically only nearly 80 million US dollars. Han Quanyou said 100 million US dollars, the gap is not only a gap of 10 million US dollars, but a big threshold.
Jiang Digui really didn't know what to say about Han Quanyou, and Han Quanyou really dared to say it. There are also views, and the number of views of "Monster of the Han River" is only 13 million, and in the case of South Korea, a country of 50 million, one out of four people who have reached the horror has watched it.
And in addition to the elderly who are not interested in movies, except for children who don't know what movies are, there are also restrictions on movies that are not allowed to be watched under the age of fifteen. The movie "Monster of the Han River" can be said to be in South Korea, and it is not an exaggeration to say that basically one of the two people will watch it.
But Han Kwon Woo said that it had 15 million views, and it was also a movie that teenagers were restricted from watching, so Han Kwon Woo didn't even think about it, so he directly said this goal. For a while, Jiang Digui really didn't know what to say about Han Quanyou.
Of course, this is also because Han Quanyou has not yet exceeded $500 million or even $780 million from Hollywood, and the number of viewers is tens of millions of dollars at every turn.
As far as Han Quanyou's personal thoughts are concerned, he is still very polite and conservative.
"Forget it, don't talk about it, let's go in now, let's go in now, see how this movie is, what qualifications and confidence do you kid have, and shout out the big sentence of fifteen million viewers."
Looking at Han Quanyou, who was taken for granted, Jiang Digui shook his head helplessly and sighed, pulled Han Quanyou over, and walked towards the movie theater while talking.
Uh~~~ From the words of director Jiang Digui, it can still be seen that in South Korea, because the country is small and the population is small, the box office is not strong. Now in South Korea, the results of a movie seem to be good or bad, and the first thing to look at is not the box office, but the number of viewers of the movie.
