Audition notification?

Li Lin flipped through the script handed over by Li Yulong, and thought it was very interesting, in Huaxia, he passed on his idea of wanting to act, and only then did the crew send an audition notice, but he didn't expect that in South Korea, he didn't have the idea of wanting to act, and someone sent an audition notice.

But soon the fun became boring.

The scripts handed over by Li Yulong are not without the kind of movies and TV series where the director is famous, the investment is big, and the cast is strong, but the crews of this kind of movies and TV series arrange some supporting roles for Li Lin, and they are also supporting roles that don't have many scenes, but those crews with small investment, no famous director, and so weak that they haven't even heard of it have arranged the main roles for Li Lin, and even directly set them as the protagonists, but the problem is that the investment in these films is too small, the director is too famous, and the cast is too weak. Whether the filmed movies and TV series will be available in theaters and TV stations is an unknown.

Don't doubt that although many people think that there is a miracle in a small budget, and a series of movies with small costs but big gains can be listed at any time, it is undeniable that more small-budget movies and TV series have failed, and some don't even have the opportunity to meet the audience.

Hey? The absent-minded Li Lin sighed, and he saw a familiar name - "Memories of Murder".

"Memories of Murder", the box office champion of South Korea's local films in 03, is a typical example of small cost and big gain, and this movie has also received high praise, known as the top three classics of Korean suspense films, and this film has won at the three major film festivals in South Korea. It is a film that really made director Bong Joon-ho famous, and most importantly, this film caused a box office bomb in South Korea in 06, the second highest box office in Korean box office history, and swept the three major Korean film awards at the same time and entered the Cannes Film Festival The epoch-making Korean film "Monster of the Han River".

Before "Memories of Murder", Bong Joon-ho was just a fledgling director. It wasn't until "Memories of Murder" achieved extremely high results that Bong Joon-ho got enough capital to create "Monster of the Han River".

As for "Three People and Three Colors" and "Antarctic Diary" before "Monster of the Han River", they were just Bong Joon-ho's games, the former was a digital work with a trial nature, and the latter Bong Joon-ho only shot a few shots, and the rest was done by other directors.

In the future, Bong Joon-ho also admitted in an interview that he was creating the movie "Han River Monster" for three years after "Memories of Murder", he said that "Han River Monster" is really his own work and his own child, in other words, "Three People and Three Colors" and "Antarctic Diary" One was picked up and the other was his stepfather's.

"But ......." Li Lin glanced at "Memories of Murder", and repeatedly confirmed and affirmed that Bong Joon-ho invited him to be the starring role. "Isn't the starring role of "Memories of Murder" Song Kang-ho, the national actor of South Korea and one of the South Korean troikas?"

He clearly remembered that the starring role of "Memories of Murder" was Song Kang-ho, the national actor of South Korea and one of the Korean troikas.

Competing for the position of the protagonist with this kind of ruthless person, Li Lin is not so arrogant.

"Li Yulongxi, are you sure this is an audition notice from the crew of "Memories of Murder"?" Li Lin couldn't help but ask. If Song Kang-ho hadn't been favored by Bong Joon-ho at this time, he wouldn't have been able to compete for "Memories of Murder", for him, "Memories of Murder" could consolidate his popularity in South Korea, and the most important thing was that "Memories of Murder" could help him get the title of the protagonist of "Monster of the Han River".

In Li Lin's previous life, the reason why Song Kang-ho became the starring role in "Monster of the Han River" was entirely because of the friendship he formed with Bong Joon-ho in "Memories of Murder".

And "Monster of the Han River" not only swept the Korean box office. Good results have also been achieved in Japan and China. In Asia, it is known as creating a precedent for monster movies, and as for Ultraman, don't take out that kind of monster and be ashamed.

At the end of the day, the film was bought by Hollywood for a remake, and he is equivalent to the Korean version of "Infernal Affairs", although the two films are not related to each other in terms of genre.

Li Yulong glanced at the audition notice and said confirmly: "Li Linxi, I'm sure this is an audition notice from the crew of "Memories of Murder", but I think it's better for Li Linxi not to join." ”

"For what?" Li Lin couldn't help but ask. No matter how you look at such a movie that has been successful at both the box office and word of mouth, you can't let it go, unless there is a problem with the schedule.

"It's simple. This movie is not worth joining. Li Yulong said: "This movie has very little investment, and the director is Bong Joon-ho, no matter how you look at it, it is a small-budget movie, and it is still unknown whether it can be in theaters." ”

Li Yulong pouted, "And Li Linxi is about to release an album, which also conflicts with the schedule of the movie to a certain extent." ”

Li Lin laughed when he heard this, "Memories of Murder" is a Korean thriller and suspense movie, and the investment is naturally less, as for the director Bong Joon-ho, at this time he is indeed an ordinary director, and he is not too famous.

But Li Lin knew that "Memories of Murder" was a double harvest at the box office, and "Monster of the Han River" was a masterpiece that pushed Bong Joon-ho to South Korea's top director in one fell swoop.

In the case of knowing this, Li Lin naturally will not underestimate "Memories of Murder", as for the schedule, it is enough to adjust it, anyway, it won't take long to shoot the movie.

In fact, what Li Lin didn't know was that in his previous life, the investment in "Memories of Murder" was not small, and the reason why it was not small was because Bong Joon-ho invited high-paid actors like Song Kang-ho, and for this reason, Bong Joon-ho was also very unhappy with Xijie Entertainment, the investor of "Memories of Murder".

For Xijie Entertainment, "Memories of Murder" is just an ordinary thriller and suspense movie, and there is no need to invite an outrageously paid actor like Song Kanghao to play the leading role, after all, inviting this kind of actor means that Xijie Entertainment wants to increase investment, which is unbearable for Xijie Entertainment.

If it weren't for Bong Jun-ho's insistence, if it weren't for the fact that Xijie Entertainment had invested a lot of money in the early stage, if it had withdrawn at this time, it would have meant that the money invested in the early stage of Xijie Entertainment would have been wasted, and if it weren't for "Memories of Murder" and later achieved the box office that made Xijie Entertainment carnival, Bong Jun-ho would have been completely hidden by Xijie Entertainment.

And now this time is the time when Bong Joon-ho and Xijie Entertainment are very stiff, Bong Joon-ho hopes that "Memories of Murder" can be played by an actor-level actor with super high acting skills, only in this way can the thriller and suspense movie "Killing Game" be brilliant, so he took a fancy to Song Kang-ho, one of the Korean national actor and one of the Korean troika, and Xijie Entertainment wanted to choose an actor with a low salary but who could bring significant publicity and popularity effects to "Memories of Murder" considering the relationship between investment and return.

So they set their sights on Li Lin, and as a rookie solo singer, they grabbed a piece of the market in the Korean group era, Li Lin's strength and appeal made Xijie Entertainment excited, and more importantly, Li Lin's popularity in China.

If Li Lin participates in "Memories of Murder", then the film can be sold to Huaxia, and no matter what, as long as the distributor of Huaxia buys "Memories of Murder" (Korean films in this era sell film copyrights to take the way of buying out instead of sharing), even if the investment in "Memories of Murder" is earned, even if "Memories of Murder" cannot be released in South Korea or that "Memories of Murder" is not popular in South Korea, they will not lose money.

Out of this kind of thinking that you can't lose money, Xijie Entertainment is much tougher than Li Lin in her previous life, and they even shouted that if Bong Joon-ho is unwilling to direct, then Xijie Entertainment can change people to direct. Anyway, in their eyes, as long as the copyright of "Memories of Murder" is sold to China, they will not lose money, and it doesn't matter who directs it.

Of course, if they could predict the future box office of "Memories of Murder", then they would 100% not dare to talk to Bong Joon-ho like that.

It's a pity that they can't predict, so their attitude is quite tough, tough enough to be able to change the director to direct.

And Bong Joon-ho is naturally resentful in the face of such a strong attitude of Xijie Entertainment, but if he dares to resist him, he still can't, Xijie Entertainment is not only an investor but also a Korean distributor, and the fledgling Bong Joon-ho can be banned at any time, as for giving up directing, Bong Joon-ho is also unwilling, after all, "Memories of Murder" is a work written by Bong Joon-ho himself, it can be said that it is his hard work, his biological son, and it is impossible for him to agree to this kind of thing by letting his biological son be raised by others, no matter how much Bong Joon-ho contradicts with Xijie Entertainment, he can't agree. So he compromised.

After the compromise, the crew sent an audition notice to Li Lin, and even Xijie Entertainment personally called Li Yulong's mobile phone, but unfortunately Li Yulong and Xijie Entertainment have the same opinion, they both think that "Memories of Murder" is a small movie with a small budget, a director who is not very strong, and the cast is not very good, and they don't pay much attention to "Memories of Murder".

"Respond to the crew of "Memories of Murder" and tell them that I will go to audition tomorrow." Li Lin and Li Yulong said, "In addition, tell the company that the schedule of the album should be staggered with the schedule of "Memories of Murder" as much as possible, and "Memories of Murder" will be the mainstay. ”

Li Yulong was stunned when he heard this, he couldn't have imagined that Li Lin actually valued "Memories of Murder" so much, he really wanted to ask Li Lin, do you want to be the starring actor and be crazy, why do you take any small-budget movie? But he didn't dare, he could only answer and ask, "The president just called you and asked you about the album whether you prepared it yourself or the company prepared it for you?" ”

"I prepared five songs myself, and other companies helped me prepare them." Li Lin said. (To be continued......)
