Chapter 360: Two or Three Things in the Film Industry

Regarding Lee Hyori's album title song, of course, MV is needed, and this song Lee Hyori can't sing live now, so he can't sing, but this will reduce a lot of exposure, so a stronger MV is needed, and the meaning of the company's internal discussion is to use the story of 'Wangfu Stone' as a blueprint to shoot the MV, but after studying it for a long time, I feel that this is too old-fashioned.

After thinking about it for a long time, the final decision was to use the story of Wangfu Stone as a stalk, and observe the protagonist of the MV from the perspective of a bird, such as the scene where the protagonist shuttles through the city.

At the beginning, Zheng Xiuheng had already thought about it and wanted to shoot beautifully, so he decided to shoot a picture of dancing in the wheat field wearing Hanbok, mainly to give Hong Zhenying this opportunity to give a small push, so during this time, Hong Zhenying has been sent by the Big Three to a famous traditional dance teacher, and I heard that he was 'tortured' to death.

That's the general situation of the MV, it looks like there is no special story, but in the end, the MV protagonist will return to the famous Wangfu Stone in Korea to shoot, probably to be suspicious. The MV protagonist has to stroke the stone very tenderly, and then lie down there, closing his eyes as if he is asleep, until the end, the dancing beautiful lady at the beginning appears, also lies there, and finally ends in the flock of birds flying.

That's what the title song MV is going to shoot this time.

Zheng Xiuheng told Qiu Changmin all in one go, Zheng Xiuheng still trusts this director who can shoot funny, love, and literary films well, so he decided to find him to direct the MV, which is really a good idea.

Qiu Changmin was a little interested, but asked a little strangely: "It's quite interesting to look at it this way, what does the final ending mean?" ”

"It's not interesting, just like Luo Hongzhen's question script, many of them have no answers, if you have to say it, it is to make everyone curious after watching the MV. Or it would be best to remember this MV and watch it a few more times! ”

Qiu Changmin was a little speechless, a director like him is very sensitive to things like stories, he thinks that the story Zheng Xiuheng said is a very good embryo, but it is too messy and trivial, but it is still very interesting to make a MV or short film, but when I heard that Zheng Xiuheng himself had no concept and was quite speechless, but this is the case. For things like the film and television industry, there are many doubts that are overly debated by the audience, and it is possible that the screenwriter has not considered the answer at all, so Qiu Changmin can also understand it.

However, Zheng Xiuheng suddenly said: "Anyway, this is an idea provided by a trainee in the company, her idea is probably that although the two are lying together on the ending screen, they are actually in two different time and space, and I hope that some can be revealed at the end." The audience can see the 'clue' of this sense of distance. ”

There is no doubt that Zheng Xiuheng does not have such an idea, and the source of this idea is the story of Kang Su-ra, and after discussion with Lee Hyori and the Big Three. Zheng Xiuheng didn't interfere too much.

Qiu Changmin was really a little interested, so he asked in surprise: "This idea is very good, and this way, if the way is right." It's really likely to cause discussion, after all, it's the title song of Lee Hyori's XI's return, and I believe the attention will definitely not be low. I'm going to do this next, "The Chaser" is already at the end, and there are fewer things to shoot, so I was going to rest for a few days, but now it seems that it won't work! ”

Zheng Xiuheng thanked Qiu Changmin with a smile, and then the two talked about film investment, Qiu Changmin also saw that Zheng Xiuheng had the idea of devoting himself to the film industry, but although he was a filmmaker, he would not cheat others at will, so he always told him all the bends and bends in this circle.

For example, in terms of unspoken rules, it is generally impossible to win the protagonist and the second role by relying on flesh color transactions, and most of the artists who can rely on the unspoken rules to play the protagonist are basically the top investors of the guò side, and in this circle, a good investor is the most popular among all filmmakers.

There is also the direction of film investment, there are many small-budget independent films, and there are many big-selling films, but in South Korea, you must remember that in terms of investment selection, those mainstream films need to choose investment according to the script, and the more partial, films with social themes like "Chaser" can be invested, but you must remember that there are many taboos in investment in this theme, just like "Chaser" is more about satirizing government departments, but if the satire of the whole film is aimed at Koreans, telling about the indifference and shortcomings of Koreans, no matter how real it is, no matter how good it is, it can't be sold.

"This kind of movie must pounce!"

Zheng Xiuheng nodded, listened to Qiu Changmin's narration very carefully, and then Qiu Changmin gave him another example, citing the well-known director Kim Ki-deok in South Korea, this is a director who has won many international awards, but his movies are like feces in South Korea, and they are disliked by people in the same circle, and even the people don't like it very much.

"Also, if you really decide to invest, you must first fully understand the other party, you can also invest in independent filmmakers, but you must be named in this circle, don't just a twenty or thirty-year-old director with a good script to find you, you also invest, after all, a good script is not filmed by a good director, and what is filmed is likely to be 108,000 miles away from what you imagined!"

"But this is not a problem, I will contact him more in the future, like Zheng Dongren's black-bellied guy, he has been mixed in the soundtrack circle for a long time, so many things are also very clear!"

Choo Changmin licked his upper lip, rested for a moment and said: "Anyway, you remember, investment is two words prudent, unpopular themes can be invested, especially satirical government, police and the like, this kind of investment can be invested, but Kim Ki-duk's kind of simple analysis of human nature, don't, there are horror films, campus films, it is a good investment project, because the investment is small, the potential audience base is large, as long as it is not too bad, it will generally not lose money, of course, it will not make much, unless the results can exceed the number of millions." ”

"By the way, there are romance films, this kind of movie, it depends on the director and the script, but there are too many possibilities, if there is really an investment opportunity, it is best to choose the kind of script adapted from popular novels or comics, and the director is also a little famous, of course, this kind of project is generally a lot of people rushing to invest, there should be no shortage of money, anyway, if you look at the box office distribution in the past two years, and some film publications, you should be able to know the current situation of Korean films, in terms of investment, I can only tell you some taboos, The rest is up to you! ”

Zheng Xiuheng nodded, digesting Qiu Changmin's words, and then Qiu Changmin continued, the investor and the producer are tired, such as today's movie casting, there are generally no unspoken rules to stuff people, because the investor is the director, as a low-cost horror film, it can be produced independently, so this casting is also real casting, at most it is just selling favors under the same choice.

There is also a screenwriter status in the film industry that is different from the TV circle, like the famous screenwriters of the three major TV stations, who may exceed the influence of the director, and many times the director has to be soft, but in the film industry, the script is a hammer deal most of the time, or he shoots his own script, so the influence of the screenwriter is much smaller.

Zheng Xiuheng is now very sober-minded, in addition to those so-called development, it is more about making money, although no matter how much money he makes, it is not as good as those chaebols, but in South Korea, a highly corrupt society, money can do too much.

After all, it is impossible for Zheng Xiuheng to go into politics, and there is no backstage, but Zheng Xiuheng has always cared about one thing, that is, what Li Xiaole said, 'Lee Myung-hye will be president, and Park Geun-hye will be a female president, and he also said that Hallyu will go to the world'.

Zheng Xiuheng did not forget these words, but carefully understood who these two people were, if Lee Myung-bak became president, it would probably be the general election in December this year, and his relationship with the Samsung Li family looks very boring, anyway, there are many boring speculations from netizens in the community on the Internet.

On the contrary, Park Geun-hye, as the top member of the Grand National Party of South Korea, also has the qualifications and strength to run for president, and on June 11, 2006, Park Geun-hye officially announced her candidacy for the 17th presidential election of the Grand National Party.

But if Lee Myung-bak does become president, then Chung so-hyung believes that Park Geun-hye may also become president, but it should be in the next term, and this term will be lost, but if Park Geun-hye does, it will be Lee Myung-ah in the next term.

No matter what the result is, Zheng Xiuheng feels that there are many things that he can plan in four years, but the premise is that he has enough ability.

Zheng Xiuheng was not so enthusiastic about work before, but after meeting Lee Jae-hyun last time, he really had a sense of ambition, and even said that it was his own ambition, no longer for this and that, not just for how others struggled, so he naturally worked harder.

"It's out!"

Qiu Changmin watched the door of the room over there open and Bai Zhenxi appeared, so he called out.

Zheng Xiuheng watched Bai Zhenxi walk in front of him timidly, his expression was not very good-looking, and he probably understood the result.

"Didn't you choose such an ugly expression?" Zheng Xiuheng asked with a smile, he didn't really have to let her win any role in this crew, it was just a normal audition, after all, it was not the situation like Zheng Duobin at the beginning, Zheng Xiuheng would not go into battle in person, so he would not be angry if he was not selected.

"I'm sorry President!" Bai Jinxi apologized to Zheng Xiuheng with some worry. (To be continued......)
