"Let's just show you walking in the grass!" Bong Joon-ho casually asked a question, and then looked at Li Lin with burning eyes.

Sceneless performance is a difficult performance, which not only tests the actor's acting skills but also tests the actor's grasp of details.

Bong Junhao just wanted to embarrass Li Lin and let Li Lin retreat, after all, if Li Lin is gone, Xijie Entertainment's abacus will not work, and he can naturally ask Song Kanghao to play the starring role at that time.

"I don't allow it." Bong Joon-ho is smart and Kim Hyun-gyu is not stupid, he has been a producer for so many years, he is not ignorant of the film and television industry, the difficulty of performing without scenes is naturally a piece of cake for actors, but for artists who sing and turn to the film, it is very difficult to perform without scenes.

Even the performance requested by Bong Joon-ho is only a lower type of scene-free performance.

"It's an audition." Bong Joon-ho was angry, he slapped the script on the table with a snap, and a quarrel broke out with Kim Hyun-gyu, "This is not allowed, that is not allowed, what do you want?" ”

"What the hell do you want to do, director Bong Joon-ho." Kim Hyun-gyu said eeriely, "There is no scene performance, do you really think that I don't understand film and television, and you can make it difficult for you to make things difficult for actors?" ”

"Sceneless performance is the requirement of this play." Bong Joon-ho said expressionlessly: "As a thriller and suspense movie, this is the basic quality of an actor, if he can't even perform without scenes, I think he can go directly." ”

"You're quibbling." Kim Hyun-gyu was furious, and for the first time he met a director like Bong Joon-ho, who was not very famous but had an incredible temper. Who does he think he is? Say add investment, add investment? Say you want to set the starring role? still wants to invite the actor to act, does he think he is a big director in South Korea?

"I'm the director, and I'm in charge."

"I'm a producer. I have the right to oversee you. ”

"You can only supervise, but you can't point fingers."

"Joke, looking at Europe, America, Japan and South Korea, I haven't heard that producers can't meddle in the affairs of the crew, do you think you're Spielberg or George. Lucas? You're nothing, you're just Bong Joon-ho, an ordinary and unknown director, believe it or not, I'll let you know how to be a director every minute? ”

"Okay. You teach me to be a director every minute, and I want to teach you to be a producer every minute! ”

The two of them immediately slapped each other's table, and neither of them would let anyone.

"I said." Li Lin spoke again to ease the atmosphere, "Let me try!" ”

"What?" Kim Hyun-gyu turned his head to look at Li Lin. "It's a sceneless show."

Bong Jun-ho's face was happy, as long as Li Lin can't do this performance, I'm afraid he won't have the face to continue to stay in the crew.

"I know it." Li Lin smiled slightly, "Although it is very difficult for newcomers to perform without scenes. But I'm not a newcomer. ”

"In Huaxia. I have filmed a TV series, although there are no scenes in it, but I have watched others do it, and I have accumulated a lot of experience. ”

"Let me try! If I can't do it, you can just quarrel with Director Bong Joon-ho again. ”

Li Lin's words made Kim Hyun-gyu speechless, but since Li Lin didn't mind, there was no need for him to quarrel for Li Lin, he thought in his heart that even if Li Lin's performance was unqualified, he would shout qualified, no matter what, the starring role of "Memories of Murder" must be Li Lin, and it can only be Li Lin.

"Okay, you can perform now." Bong Joon-ho seized the opportunity and wanted to settle the matter. "If you perform well, the starring role is yours, but if you don't perform well, then I'm sorry. I'm not going to let people spoil my Memories of Murder. ”

Kim Hyun-gyu snorted coldly, "Director Bong Joon-ho, this is not something you can decide, please don't talk nonsense." ”

Li Lin took a deep breath and closed his eyes, recalling the plot of "Memories of Murder" in his mind, and he remembered that the so-called grass actually referred to weeds that were more than one meter high.

After thinking about it for a while, Li Lin walked up, his hand swinging at will in front of him, pushing the weeds away, and suddenly, Li Lin sighed, withdrew his hand and sucked his fingers, and walked more carefully.

Kim Hyun-gyu looked at Li Lin's performance, his eyes lit up, "Okay, it's great, it's very good, it's you." ”

Excellent? Bong Joon-ho glanced at Kim Hyun-gyu, and said in his heart, do you have any vision, this is all very good, so is the Korean actor a god if he performs casually?

However, Bong Joon-ho also knew that the reason why Kim Hyun-gyu was so called was completely because he wanted to sign a relationship with Lee Lin, but Li Lin's performance just now was indeed decent, and there were some outstanding points in the details, and it was impossible to say that he was a newcomer who didn't know how to act at all.

And Kim Hyun-gyu is also right, the movie "Memories of Murder" does not have high requirements for acting skills, and Li Lin can barely play the starring role.

Thinking of this, Bong Joon-ho said awkwardly: "Forget it, that's it, you sign a contract with our "Memories of Murder" crew, and please adjust the schedule as much as possible, and we will start filming "Memories of Murder" next week." ”

“OK。” Li Lin made an OK gesture, turned around and walked out.

"Wait." Kim Hyun-gyu stopped Li Lin, and he said with a smile: "I'll give Mr. Li Lin a ride, and talk to Mr. Li Lin about something by the way." ”

"Yes." Li Lin paused for a moment, waited for Kim Hyun-gyu to walk up before moving his steps, and asked casually, "Mr. Kim, do you have anything to do?" ”

"That's the case, Mr. Li Lin doesn't know if there is a channel in Huaxia in Ludao?" Kim Hyun-gyu said: "The script of 'Memories of Murder' written by director Bong Joon-ho is very good, and we at Xijie Entertainment think that he has the potential to be distributed throughout Asia, so we would like to ask Mr. Li Lin if he has any connections with the Chinese distributor." ”

"Of course, we just hope that Mr. Li Lin will help pull the strings, and in order to repay Mr. Li Lin, we will have a small increase in salary."

As he spoke, Kim Hyun-gyu added, "I wonder if Mr. Li Lin has heard of the problem of pricing?" When an artist ventures into a new industry, such as Song Zhuan Film, the salary of his first film will determine the price of the next film he takes. ”

"If Mr. Li Lin's salary for the first film is high enough, the salary given by other film crews will only be higher than this."

"But only if the artist's first film is a success." Li Lin smiled and added to Kim Hyun-gyu, "If the first movie shot by this artist is not satisfactory at the box office, then the so-called pricing is a joke." ”

When the artist who sings the movie shoots the first TV series and the first movie, fans always pay very high attention to their idols, and after the movie is filmed, fans will watch it in order to support their idols, but if the movie is very bad, then the fans will be disappointed in their idols, and even say, 'Why do you want to act, isn't it good to concentrate on singing?' Words like that.

After that, if the artist wants to continue making movies, not only will the fans not continue to support them, but even the film company will no longer send out audition invitations, because the artists who turn to the film have lost their 'freshness'.

This also represents the failure of the artist's transformation!

"But ......." Li Lin's voice changed, "It's not that I can't help you get the strings." He remembered that in his previous life, the reputation of "Memories of Murder" in China was polarized.

On Douban, "Memories of Murder" has been praised as a classic of thriller and suspense, and is considered to be the top three Korean genre films, what postmodernist classics, what metaphors and the like, a series of evaluations are very high, if this kind of movie is in the United States, even if it can't be released in theaters, it can be released as a DVD.

However, in Li Lin's previous life, DVD piracy was rampant, and naturally no distributor would buy it for distributor distribution, but this time and space is different, this time and space is also very good because of the relationship between cracking down on piracy, and the DVD distribution market is also very good, although there is no sales of hundreds of millions of Chinese coins like the United States, but it is still very easy for a really very good and highly rated genre film to sell millions of Chinese coins, and it is not impossible to even break 10 million.

Li Lin believes that as long as he is willing to pull the strings, there will still be distributors who will be interested in this movie.

Kim Hyun-gyu was overjoyed when he heard this, "If you have any conditions, just say it, as long as we can agree, we will definitely agree." ”

"It's simple, salary." "I need to price, not just in Korea, I need to price in the whole of Asia," Li said. ”

Pricing throughout Asia? Kim Hyun-gyu was shocked, Asia is not South Korea, in South Korea, the national actor-level actors in the troika are only 600 million won, which is equivalent to more than 3 million Chinese coins, but in Huaxia, the salaries of popular first-line actors have caught up, and the salaries of popular actors-level actors are generally between 8 million and 10 million Chinese coins, and the salaries of international superstars like Cheng Long and Jet Li are more than 20 million Chinese dollars, which is unimaginable in South Korea.

Li Lin wants to set the price for the whole of Asia, which is obviously based on the salary of Huaxia, but this is unacceptable in South Korea.

"Mr. Li Lin." Kim Hyun-gyu said: "This is South Korea, and we can't afford to pay that much. ”

The total investment in murder memories has just exceeded 100 million, and if Huaxia's salary is used to price Li Lin, this drama will have to make additional investment.

"Of course I didn't ask you to pay." Li Lin knew that the investment in "Memories of Murder" was small, if it weren't for the small investment in "Memories of Murder", the starring role of this drama would probably not fall on him, "I just asked you to publicize it to the outside world." ”

"You can give as much as you should be paid."

Kim Hyun-gyu breathed a sigh of relief when he heard this, "That's easy to do." "This kind of thing is not uncommon in South Korea, the purpose is to increase the value of artists, the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry. (To be continued......)
