"Baby Project" has been postponed again, and other films, except for some literary films and small-budget films with an investment of millions to follow the release of "Painted Skin", there are no large-scale zuò films competing for this schedule with "Painted Skin".

In such a situation, fans have no choice but to watch "Painted Skin".

Even fans who are not interested in oriental magic, and who are not interested in "Painted Skin", which is dressed in oriental magic and regarded as a interpretation of love, have also taken out their pockets and walked into the cinema to watch "Painted Skin"

Without him, there is only one good movie in this schedule, "Painted Skin", if you don't want to watch bad movies, you can only watch "Painted Skin", at least "Painted Skin" is worth the ticket price, and going to watch other movies will only make you pay for it.

Under such circumstances, the box office of "Painted Skin" has been rising, following the box office of breaking 20 million in three days, "Painted Skin" has created a good result of breaking 50 million box office in a single week, accumulating its own results to 70 million, which has also greatly increased the confidence of more fans in whether "Painted Skin" can break 300 million box office.

However, at this time, Li Lin had already gone to South Korea.

Since the implementation of the quota system by the South Korean government, the number of moviegoers in South Korea has risen sharply, from "Life and Death" to "The King's Man", Korean films have set box office records one after another, and in the total annual box office, the Korean market is closing the gap with Japan and trying to catch up with Japan.

However, after the U.S. government forced the South Korean government to open the market on the grounds of trade deals, despite the efforts made by the Korean Film Association and people in the Korean film and television industry, Hollywood movies still encroached on their box office step by step. And this has also increased the number of moviegoers in South Korea step by step, making the Korean film market prosperous.

At this time, it is the lowest fan of Korean movies. When foreign films were at their most prosperous, Li Lin came, and he personally came to South Korea to promote his "Painted Skin".

As soon as Li Lin got off the plane, the Korean fans and movie fans who heard the news had completely occupied the entire airport.

"Li Lin, oppa, you're so good."

"I like you so much, Li Lin oppa."

"I'm definitely going to support Painted Skin."

A large number of Korean fans and movie fans held up all kinds of support props and shouted Li Lin's name loudly, and the voice was shocking.

"Li Lin. Your popularity in Korea is really high. ”

Zhou Xun was a little envious.

I didn't know that Li Lin's popularity in South Korea would be so high, just sent a notice before coming. The Korean fans came over by themselves, and there were so many fans who came to pick them up, which was not inferior to his home stadium.

"Is it popular?" Li Lin asked lightly, "Actually." My popularity in Korea is declining. ”

South Korea is too competitive. Any artist who does not appear in front of fans for a long time will lose popularity, and he is naturally no exception.

"Li Linxi."

Just when Li Lin and Zhou Xun were chatting, the staff of Xijie Entertainment was already sweating profusely and squeezed in, "Li Linxi, please leave through the VIP channel of Guò Airport." ”

There are so many fans out there that it has already caused a big burden on the airport.

"Okay."

Li Lin nodded and walked out of the airport with the staff member.

While walking. The staff member raised his chin and smiled: "Li Linxi, although you haven't been to South Korea for a long time. But the fans haven't forgotten about it. ”

"That's right."

He suddenly seemed to think of something, and said with an unchanged smile: "This time, the schedule of "Painted Skin" may have changed a little, because "The Love of the Machine" starring Asia-Pacific superstar Rain was released at the same time, and on the canvas, "Painted Skin" may not be so much. ”

"Asia-Pacific superstar RAIN?"

Li Lin's sneering gaze swept over the staff member, looking at him as if he were looking at a clown.

When did the superstar title become so proliferated?

And as far as he knows, Rain is not an Asia-Pacific superstar, his really popular work in Asia is "Full House" in 04, but with the curtain call of "Full House", Rain has no other works in Asia that can support popularity.

If he can be regarded as an Asia-Pacific superstar just by virtue of a TV series, then Zhao Wei, who swept the entire Asia-Pacific region with "Huanzhu Gege", is not also an Asia-Pacific superstar?

In that case, there really aren't too many Asia-Pacific superstars.

"Yes, Asia-Pacific superstar Rain." The staff didn't notice Li Lin's gaze, and a slight proud expression appeared on his face, "Rain is amazing, although his debut time is not long, he has become popular all over Asia, and even the big Hollywood directors have invited him to star in large-scale Zuò movies, he is simply the pride of our Korea." ”

The pride of South Korea?

Li Lin, Zhou Xun, Zhao Wei, and Zhao Wenzhuo had goosebumps in their hearts at the same time.

Does this Korean understand what the pride of a country is?

The pride of any country is a person who can carry a banner of a certain industry in his own country in the world.

For example, Bruce Lee carried the banner of kung fu, and after Bruce Lee, Cheng Long and Jet Li barely carried the banner, but they are not the pride of a country.

Japanese movie stars don't seem to have anything to carry the flag, but the Japanese film industry has produced two masters who carry the flag, they are Akira Kurosawa and Hayao Miyazaki.

The former once won the Oscar Lifetime Achievement Award, and his works enjoy international acclaim, while the latter has carried the banner of Japanese films under the indiscriminate bombardment of Hollywood with its unique animated films, so that Japan will not completely fall under the offensive of Hollywood films.

Of course, one person can't save an industry, and Miyazaki's survival zài represents the fig leaf of Japanese cinema, and that's it.

As for South Korea.

What does Korea have? The troika of the Korean film and television industry has never left South Korea at all, and Korean film masters have only emerged in Asia, and they are still far from carrying the banner of Korean films.

A small RAIN is actually considered an Asia-Pacific superstar and the pride of South Korea. This boasting, and not blushing?

Several people fell silent, and the staff of South Korea's Xijie Entertainment closed their mouths as they spoke.

Got in the car. Li Lin immediately asked his life assistant to bring a laptop, opened Google Korea, searched for "Machine qì people's love", and immediately jumped to a page, he glanced at it, and sneered, "Sure enough." This group of Korean sticks didn't have a good heart. ”

"The Love of the Machine", a work produced and published by South Korean Xijie Entertainment.

In just a few words, their thoughts are exposed.

"Xijie Entertainment?" Luo Feng's gaze fell on the page. Immediately exclaimed, "What are they doing?" Two works were released at the same time, this is to kill each other? ”

are all works released by Xijie Entertainment, but the former is from Huaxia's "Painted Skin", and the latter is from South Korea's "Machine Qì People's Love". Both works have interests in Xijie Entertainment. But Xijie Entertainment put the two works in the same schedule to compete, what does he want to do?

Even if "The Love of the Machine" and "Painted Skin" are not the same type of works, they will definitely influence each other, not to mention, although "Painted Skin" seems to be an oriental magic work on the surface, everyone knows that oriental magic is just the skin, and its real inner is a love movie.

And this. It has been homogenized with "Machine Qì People's Love".

At the end of the day, the two films will definitely squeeze each other's box office. Cutthroat competition is formed.

This is not in the interest of CJ Entertainment.

But Xijie Entertainment did this, even if it was her, she smelled wrong.

Hearing Luo Feng's doubts, Li Lin sneered, "Of course it's not cannibalism, in the eyes of Xijie Entertainment, it's "Painted Skin" that crushes us with "The Love of the Machine." ”

"Xijie Entertainment wants to step on our top position, and wants to use our "Painted Skin" as a stepping stone."

Li Lin casually tapped on the keyboard, browsing South Korea's film and television entertainment news, and in just a moment, several headlines fell into his eyes.

"South Korea's Asia-Pacific superstar Rain's "The Love of the Machine" VS the "Painted Skin" of the Chinese Asia-Pacific superstar Li Lin, who wins and who loses."

"In the contest of Asia-Pacific superstars, will Rain's "The Love of the Machine" win or Li Lin's "Painted Skin" will win the big victory?"

"The top level of the film industry, "The Love of the Machine" VS "Painted Skin", who is the real king."

Looking at these web pages, a sneer appeared on Li Linjunyi's face, "Since the first half of 06, the U.S. government has used trade deals as a threat to force the South Korean government to open quotas. ”

"Although people in the Korean film and television industry led by the Korean Film Association took to the streets to protest, the opening of film quotas is still unstoppable, and the South Korean government cannot withstand the pressure of the US government at all."

"Seeing that it is a foregone conclusion, Korean film industry will turn to cold violence against Hollywood films."

"On the one hand, they united with all the people in the Korean film and television industry, called on the media to reduce the publicity of Hollywood movies as much as possible, and forced theaters to adopt discriminatory measures when scheduling Hollywood movies to prevent Hollywood movies from completely conquering South Korea."

"On the other hand, they have adopted an unprecedented large-scale production to compete with Hollywood films."

"The Monster of the Han River, which is known as Asia's first real monster masterpiece with an investment of 10 billion won, has appeared in Korean film history in this way."

Tens of billions of won, which is almost a large investment in the history of Korean films, is very difficult to recover in South Korea, a country with a population of only 48 million.

At that time, the film club almost invested in this movie with a loss-making mentality.

They don't want to make a profit, they just want to be able to show their muscles like Hollywood, enhance the confidence of the Korean people in Korean films, and let the Korean people return to the embrace of Korean films.

This is a movie that launches a clarion call to Hollywood.

In the eyes of the Film Club, its importance is second only to "Life and Death", which opened up Korean fans' confidence in Korean films.

In the end, "Monster of the Han River" did not disappoint the film club, it not only broke a series of records, but also exported overseas, gained a lot of foreign film awards, and at the same time gave Korean fans a new understanding of their own films, and enhanced the confidence of Korean fans in Korean films.

But after "Monster of the Han River", this fragile confidence was quickly shattered in the face of the surging Hollywood movies, so they needed a target.

This target is "Painted Skin".

is also a foreign film, but the level of Chinese films is not as good as Hollywood's, so they believe that their country's "The Love of the Machine" can crush "Painted Skin". (To be continued......)
