In the independent screening room of C.P Film and Television Company, Guo Zairong and the other three all looked at the screen quietly, and no one spoke much in the middle, and the room only echoed the dialogue of the hero and heroine in the film. But at this moment, Cui Zhenlong's mind is not on the film screened, and he was a little surprised to be called by Guo Jaerong to watch the finished product of "What If" in advance today, and what he didn't expect was that he could meet Bong Joon-ho here...

Choi Jin-ryong doesn't know much about Bong Joon-ho, and his impressions include "Memories of Murder", "Monster of the Han River", "Snowpiercer", etc. are all his film works, and Bong Joon-ho is also an influential Korean director in Asia.

Cui Zhenlong is thinking about how to recruit this person to C.P Film and Television Company at the moment, as the so-called thousands of troops are easy to get, and one will be hard to find, a new generation of directors like Bong Joon-ho who can write and direct himself is what Cui Zhenlong hopes for the most.

However, it has to be mentioned that Cui Zhenlong is now focusing on script writing and managing C.P.C. companies, in fact, as a "consultant" hidden behind the scenes, he also keeps an eye on the progress of other companies.

Among them, C.P Film and Television Company has entered the bottleneck stage of development in Cui Zhenlong's view, although the company's personnel are still expanding and growing, but its well-known director is now only Guo Zairong, if he enters the period of inspiration exhaustion, if there are no film works for several years, will the entire company follow to drink the northwest wind? Therefore, it is necessary to increase the number of directors under C.P Company and share the risks in the operation, and Bong Joon-ho is a good target to strive for.

Time flies, just two hours pass in a flash, and before you know it, the whole film has entered the end of the screening, and when the soothing and beautiful ending song "The More Love, the More Love" sounded, Cui Zhenlong came back to his senses as if he had just woken up from a dream, and politely took the lead in applauding.

"Jun-ho, what do you think of this film?" Guo Zairong asked with some smugness.

Bong Joon-ho habitually raised his glasses with his hand, and after thinking for a while, he said cautiously: "The works of my predecessors are still as good as ever, I am ashamed of myself in some shooting techniques and the use of colors, I am very glad that I did not come in vain today, I am really taught!" ”

Guo Jaerong smiled with satisfaction, and then under Bong Joon-ho's surprised eyes, he turned his head in the direction of Cui Zhenlong and asked, "What do you think of this film?" ”

"Uh, is this..."Cui Zhenlong felt a little embarrassed, he knew Guo Zairong's temper very well, don't look at this big director now smiling like a Maitreya Buddha, in fact, he is stronger than anyone else, and he is very stubborn, but he does not allow others to point fingers and talk nonsense in front of him for his own works, and to put it mildly, this person is a little narcissistic, and likes to listen to others say good things.

"What, that, you little guy can say it if you have something to say, just like that time at the signing ceremony, don't hide it" Guo Zairong waved his hand "arrogantly" and said.

"Nima, did Lao Guo forget to take medicine when he went out today? Which one is this? It's too abnormal, isn't it?! … Forget it, die or die! Cui Zhenlong couldn't help muttering in his heart, but in the end he decided to tell the truth, "Ahem~~ I think Director Guo's work still continues the consistent aesthetic style, and it also uses a dramatic form to elaborate the love stories of two different time and space interspersed with each other, although there is an imperfect ending in the end, but it is still the same deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, coupled with the various episodes that fit the plot and are beautiful, this film is really excellent in terms of overall quality... However, I think you seem to be a little more bloody in the handling of some plots, just like when Zixi (one of the heroines) accidentally learned that Shang Ming, who she had a crush on, also liked her personally, Zixi held Shang Ming's umbrella in her hand and ignored the heavy rain outside, and was excited all the way to find the plot of returning the umbrella, this... Zixi had an umbrella in his hand but didn't open it, and happily ran to get drenched in the rain, that... How should I say that? Doesn't seem reasonable? ”

"Well, the storyline was written by the screenwriter 'C-Loong', and I can't help it if he arranges it like this!" Guo Zairong spread his hands and said helplessly.

"This dead old Guo, can you be more shameless" Cui Zhenlong had a dark face, and secretly gritted his teeth and stared at Guo Zairong, "Nima, I obviously wrote in the script that Zixi held the umbrella, but she was extremely excited, and she took the umbrella away from her head many times, and jumped around in the rain like an idiot a few times... In this scene, I borrowed some fragments from the classic song and dance drama "Singin' in the Rain", you old Guo is good, delete all these 'essence' parts and don't talk about it, but now the responsibility is put on me, Ni Mei's, you are ruthless~~"

But to be honest here, although the clip that Cui Zhenlong proposed just now is indeed a bit bloody and brain-dead according to common sense, there is a saying that "a woman or man in love has a negative IQ." Therefore, everyone must understand that the heroes and heroines in the play have incredible abnormal behaviors, which are all normal expressions of people in special states.

At this moment, Bong Junhao on the side looked at Cui Zhenlong with some surprise, he didn't expect that the young boy in front of him would have the courage to talk in front of Guo Zairong, even if he touched his bottom line, he didn't make Guo Zairong unhappy, it seems that Cui Zhenlong's weight in his heart is not low!

"Hello Bong Joon-ho senior! With all due respect, I don't know much about your work, so can you share your plans for the near future? Cui Zhenlong led the topic to Bong Jun-ho, although the two have not been in contact for a long time, but Cui Jin-ryong has already seen that the other party is a rather dull person, and he doesn't talk much, since Cui Jin-ryong entered the screening room, what Bong Joon-ho said didn't add up to more than five sentences.

"Hey~~ Zhenlong, how can you be so rude?! Joon-ho is the most talented director I've seen so far, have you seen "Kidnapping the Dog at the Door"? This is Joon-ho's work! "Don't look at Guo Zairong's words of reprimanding Cui Zhenlong, he is actually giving this goods a round, Cui Zhenlong's words just now are indeed a little impolite, if you change to other directors with a slightly worse temper, you may turn your face on the spot, what does it mean to not know much? Is this a subtle sarcasm for the fact that the other party's works are unpopular and the box office is dismal?

Fortunately, Bong Joon-ho has a gentle temper, and he didn't care about Choi Jin-ryong's gaffes, but said with a serious face: "Recently, I was indeed conceiving a script based on a true story, but due to the many obstacles encountered in the process of collecting materials, the creation of this script is now in a state of stagnation." ”

Guo Zairong didn't expect that Bong Junhao, a junior, really had some goods in his chest, so he immediately said: "Can you briefly introduce this story?" And if you have any difficulties that you need help with, you can also talk about them, maybe we can help you solve them. ”

After hesitating for a moment, Bong Joon-ho slowly told the story in his heart: "Senior, do you still have an impression of the serial murder case that occurred in Hwaseong-gun, Gyeonggi Province in the mid-to-late 80s of the last century?" ”

Guo Zairong was stunned for a moment by his words, and then nodded a little blankly, he still remembered the famous case that shocked the entire Korean society, "Do you mean?" ”

"Senior, you guessed right, my creative inspiration came from this case, I want to restore it and reproduce it on the big screen, so that more people, especially the majority of women, can be alert to this kind of incident, so that they have a stronger sense of self-protection to reduce the occurrence of similar situations."

"Junhao, your idea is very good," Guo Zaeyong said approvingly, "Then tell me what difficulties you are encountering now?" ”

"The main reason is that the police refused to provide relevant case information, so I went to Hwaseong many times and used a lot of connections, but the result was very ineffective! That's where the problem lies," Bong Joon-ho looked a little indignant, he was so disappointed with the bureaucracy.

Cui Zhenlong, who was standing on the side, had already deduced from Bong Joon-ho's words that the script he was writing was the thriller and suspense film "Memories of Murder", "Then senior, you can report to the company, and it should be easier for the film and television company to coordinate this matter." ”

"The problem is that I haven't signed with any company right now," Bong Joon-ho said with a wry smile.

"Don't have a contracted company yet? That's great news! Cui Zhenlong was secretly happy, but before he could continue to speak, another voice interjected directly, "Since Junhao has not signed the company yet, then this is good, you can sign a contract with our C.P Film and Television." ”

PS: Hurry up, but in the end, I still didn't catch up!
