Chapter 193: "Uncle"
Chen Zaitian is very busy, really busy.
Although he had planned these 'busyness' before, the first time, he was more enthusiastic and willing than usual.
Because now he is very troubled, more troubled than anyone else. At least that's what he thinks.
Of course, in life, there must be a lot of troubles, some people are for money, some people are not handsome enough, not beautiful enough, and some people are born as men for themselves, etc.
Dealing with his troubles, Chen Zaitian was completely shocked and blinded. So now he can only use work and things to avoid and paralyze himself, so now he is here - CinemaService. And that's the first thing he's busy with!
CinemaService is a Korean film production and distribution company that was founded in 1993 by director Kang Yu-seok and renamed CinemaService in 1995. It has financed, distributed, and produced some of South Korea's most influential films of the last decade, building a solid foundation for the Korean film industry.
Mr. Chan doesn't care what kind of influence it is or what solid foundation it has built for the Korean film industry, but he cares about a film that CinemaService is about to invest in and produce and will be released in the second half of 2010.
He's going to buy it and play it himself.
Of course, it is impossible for him to actually buy it, and it can only be said that he has obtained the largest production rights of the film from the company "CinemaService". Then he cooperated with the company "CinemaService" to produce the film, after all, although Chen Zaitian could find money, he did not have the resources and ability to make a film independently.
Of course, the process is not simple, but it is not that difficult. Chen Zaitian spent a total of two 'phone calls' to be able to sit down with the "CinemaService" company and buy the production rights of the film. The two calls were Bong Joon-ho and KBS TV director Kim In-kyu.
But fortunately, the film that Chen Zaitian wants to buy the production rights is a small-budget film, and it is a film that does not have big stars in the production plan. Therefore, the "CinemaService" company was also very generous to sell the production rights of the film to him, and then accepted Chen Zaitian's proposal. Separately cooperating participants provide resources and distribution for film shooting.
In the opinion of the company "CinemaService". Although the plot and prospects of this film seem to be good, it is not yet necessary to risk investing in the production without letting them buy it for double the price they originally bought. So, in fact, the "CinemaService" company was able to sell the production rights of the film to Chen Zaitian. Except because of the relationship between those two 'phone calls'. More than that. After all, no matter what, having interests is the most solid decision.

Lee Jeong-fan can be said to be one of South Korea's current cutting-edge directors, and he is just one of them. Before filming the film. He has been shooting short works, although it is good, but after all, he is not very famous, until 06 years after he filmed "Hot Blooded Man" and won a lot of praise in the industry, only slowly in the film industry has some improvement. However, I have to say that although his last work "Hot Blooded Man" was well received, it was really not a successful film in the sense, and the real Korean film award was of course a non-winner.
As a director, making a work is, of course, hoping to be recognized by the audience and praised by people. Therefore, for a time, Li Zhenfan was also very distressed.
After that, he fell silent, spent three years researching and watching a lot of domestic and foreign films, read a lot of materials, and finally created a new work, which he named "Uncle".
The story of "Uncle" tells the story of Tae-sik (agent) who lives in isolation since the accidental loss of his wife, and the only person who dares to come to his cold pawnshop is Xiaomei, a little girl who lives next door, and the two have become the only communication and confiding object of each other, but I didn't expect that one day Xiaomei's mother who always causes trouble was implicated in a crime case and Xiaomei was also taken captive, in order to save Xiaomei Tae-sik returned to the real world to fight against the evil forces, and his hidden true identity and story were also revealed.
It is an action movie full of feelings. Although Li Zhenfan doesn't know if this film will be successful, since he has already created it, he wants to make it well.
Contacting the production company, determining the actors to appear, etc., the filming work is in full swing, and Li Zhenfan hopes that the filming can officially start at the end of this year or the beginning of next year.
However, early this morning, Li Zhenfan received a call from the "CinemaService" company, which has been negotiated and is responsible for the production of "Uncle", saying that the production rights of the film have been sold to an investor, but the "CinemaService" company will still continue to cooperate in the form of a production company to help the production of the film, and then the investor wants to meet him.
In this regard, Li Zhenfan didn't think anything, it is common to change investors or join investors in filming movies, especially those big-budget films, there are even more real investors, as long as the film company continues to be responsible for production.
Li Zhenfan came to the office designated by the "CinemaService" company in advance and waited not too long, but after ten minutes, the person in charge of the "CinemaService" company brought a young man wearing a light blue tennis cap and black sunglasses.
In fact, without the introduction of the staff of the "CinemaService" company, Li Zhenfan also knew which investor this was, of course, but he was indeed surprised, he didn't expect this investor to be such a young man.
In terms of breath, it seems that he is twenty-seven or eighteen years old, and he should not be thirty years old. Li Zhenfan said secretly in his heart.
"Hello, my name is Chen Zaitian, it's a pleasure to meet you, Director Li Zhenfan." Chen Zaitian politely took off his hat and sunglasses and greeted Li Zhenfan.
"Hello." Li Zhenfan also hurriedly and politely replied.
That's right, the film that Chen Zaitian wants to buy is "Uncle" in the hands of Li Zhenfan. In China in the previous life, it was translated as "The Lone Agent". This is one of the only Korean movies that Chen Jaetian has seen in his previous life other than "My Sassy Girlfriend", and this is also his favorite Korean movie besides "My Sassy Girlfriend". At that time, he watched the film no less than five times.
"Uncle" is like watching the classic films of Stephen Chow, Jackie Chan, Andy Lau and others for him, and he never gets tired of watching it, no matter how many times the movie channel has been broadcast, we will take a chair and continue to watch it carefully.
In fact, "Uncle" is not a successful blockbuster in the sense, in the previous life, although it became the highest-grossing movie in South Korea in 2010 at that time, the number of moviegoers was only 620, not to mention, this year's "Haeundae" 11.5 million people and "National Representative" more than 8.2 million people left it far behind.
What Chen Zaitian likes is the story of the film itself.
For a long time before the little girl called him "Uncle", the main character was just a walking corpse. Both the protagonist and the little girl are people who have no expectations for this world, and although in the end it was the protagonist who saved the little girl, but it was the little girl who made the protagonist out of his own world, and in fact it can be said that the little girl saved the protagonist.
It's a story of saving each other! And what Chen Zaitian likes is the feeling it contains.
The original actor of "Uncle" should have been played by Yuan Bin, a beautiful man, and Chen Zaitian did have this intention to let Yuan Bin continue to act, but in the end he gave up.
And it seems that it is no coincidence that in the previous life report, Yuan Bin discovered the script of "Uncle" by virtue of his relationship during the promotion of the "Mother" film he participated in, and then took the initiative to find Li Zhenfan, the director of "Uncle", and asked to star in this low-cost work without stars. This also surprised Li Zhenfan, he even refused Yuan Bin's request to star at first, because Yuan Bin was too popular, but he was finally moved by Yuan Bin's sincerity.
And I don't know if it is because of the relationship between Chen Zaitian's "butterfly effect" that has changed the historical trajectory of this parallel time and space, Yuan Bin did not find the script of "Uncle", which really made Chen Zaitian breathe a sigh of relief, otherwise Yuan Bin really came to the door, and he really couldn't ban the original protagonist. But now, naturally, it's me who is also a boss, a producer, and an actor.
People are selfish after all, since Chen Zaitian has decided to take this path in the entertainment industry, he must do better, if he wants to do better, many times he can't be too affectionate, not to mention that he hasn't even seen Yuan Bin's face now, how can he be emotional. The only thing I can say is that if I have the opportunity in the future, I will 'pull' Yuanbin by myself. This time, I can only be sorry for him!
Moreover, being able to have the opportunity to star in his favorite movie in another world, Chen Zaitian feels excited and happy when he thinks about it. (To be continued......)
