Chapter 516: Lu
Just when the reporter was chasing and intercepting Lin Xiaowei, a jerky Chinese sounded.
"Excuse me, is it Mr. Lin Xiao?"
"He's really gone." In the residential building, Lee and Anne raised their eyebrows slightly.
Anne said suspiciously, "If I remember correctly, Jonny belongs to Paramount's signed casting director, and he didn't renew his contract after the contract expired, but went to South Korea to develop ......"
"He's coming to China for casting?" Li's eyes lit up, and he said with a smile, "Lin Xiao seems to have a slight reputation in Japan and South Korea...... Also, the painted skin did have a beautiful Chinese New Year fight...... However, this achievement only allowed him to 'enter the field of vision of Japanese and Korean filmmakers'. ”
He glanced at Annie, "Annie, you better decide quickly." If he accepts Jonny's invitation, I'm afraid our film will ...... There was not much of a chance. ”
Anne frowned, staring at Lin Xiao's figure.
She also feels that it is difficult to give up, according to the mood and environment, it may be better to be played by Lin Xiao. But the stark differences between Asians and Europeans made it impossible for her to decide.
By the time she hesitated, Jonny had finished introducing himself.
"Xijie Entertainment?" A reporter had already whispered, "Unknown, which Hollywood company is this?" I've never heard of it. ”
"It's not a Hollywood company." The veteran Yu Ji next to him had a serious face, "It's one of the eight major film companies in South Korea!" ”
"A company in South Korea? What are they looking for? ”
Lin Xiao was also puzzled: "May I ask if you have something?" ”
This celebrity is tall and beautiful, and almost used her physical advantage to rush into the circle of reporters.
"Can I talk to Mr. Lin alone?" Jonny asked.
Lin Xiao thought for a while, "Yes." ”
The driver opened the car door, threw down the curious reporters, and drove away.
"Annie, he's already in the car." Li smiled, "It seems that you still don't like him very much." ”
Anne had already broken free from the hesitation, smiled and nodded, "If this wasn't a cowboy movie, I might not hesitate to choose him, but ......"
She shook her head, "Asian cowboys, it's too hard to convince the public......"
"Yes." Li nodded, "In the city, in shootouts, Asian actors can be used, but when it comes to making authentic American Westerns, Asian artists are always inferior to local artists." ”
"Then contact Heath Ledger." Anne nodded and said, "As for ENNIS...... Let's look for it again......"
Lin Xiao didn't know that the two of them left quietly, because in the car, Jonny had already attracted his attention.
"You're a character director?" He asked again.
"That's right. Mr. Lin, there are no character directors in China, let me explain it to you......" Jonny said quickly.
Lin Xiao shook his head slightly, "No need, I understand." ”
"China is different from Europe and the United States, and even South Korea, it is not a producer-centric system, but a director-centric system." Lin Xiao continued, "Therefore, the position of foreign filmmakers is very different from that of China, for example, artists, due to the fine division of labor in Hollywood, actors have been so simple that as long as they can finish the lines in the script with tone, actions and expressions that meet the requirements of the script, they are considered good actors, and they don't need to figure out the off-strings behind the script at all, which is something that Oscar winners only figure out." That's why European filmmakers ridicule Hollywood actors as dolls. ”
"And the character director, who is different from the director, is only responsible for the casting, Mr. Jonny, am I right?"
Jonny looked at Lin Xiao in surprise, although the other party didn't finish speaking, he had no doubt that the other party had such a deep understanding of Hollywood rules.
If the world film and television industry is divided into markets, then there is no doubt that the country is a huge market, and a continent is a larger market, and Hollywood is the pyramid that stands above all markets.
Before he came, he had thoroughly investigated Lin Xiao's information, the top star in his country, the Asia-Pacific region is slightly famous, this name is made by the film Painted Skin, Japan and South Korea have his fans, but the vast majority of local filmmakers are very unfamiliar with his name.
In other words, Lin Xiao is at a critical turning point from a local red star into the Asia-Pacific market, and the next two or three films are destined to break into the shackles and enter the entire Asia-Pacific region, or return to the country.
Breaking the chains of culture and making one's own film accessible to everyone is not an ordinary difficulty.
"And Mr. Jonny, which tycoon's staff do you belong to?" Lin Xiao said with a smile, "You want me to drive the Chinese box office to come to the door, Lionsgate?" Miramax? Time Warner? ”
"Mr. Lin, you guessed wrong." Jonny calmed down and laughed, "I don't belong to the United States, I belong to South Korea." ”
"Let me introduce you formally." He handed out a business card, "One of the 'Big Eight' in South Korea, the director of Xijie Entertainment, Jonny. Jackson. ”
Xijie Entertainment! Lin Xiao's brows raised slightly when he heard this name.
South Korea's eight majors, CA, CS, Xijie, KJ, Korean Pictures, MIR, SHOWBOX, TUBE, all of them have a rich film library in their hands, monopolizing the production and distribution of the entire Dahan Netherworld.
"Fortunately." He stretched out his hand and shook hands with the other party, "I don't know, what is the director of Xijie Entertainment looking for me?" ”
"That's right." Jonny also slipped into a smooth voice, "We have a very good book, I want to try the Asian screening, I don't know if Mr. Lin is interested." ”
This is how Americans talk about business, they don't like to go around and around, but go straight to the point.
If you agree, you will talk, and if you don't, you will disperse.
"What book?"
"A horror movie." Jonny laughed, with some indiscognizable stiffness in his smile, "Oh, or a thriller." Science fiction. ”
Lin Xiao frowned again.
Korean horror films, a few years after the Japanese horror film became popular, broke out its power, and later generations and Thailand, Japan, and called the three major horror film origins.
However, he already had the heart to refuse.
How much is he worth? Although he is out of the country, there is not much difference between his fame and that of second- and third-tier artists in Japan and South Korea, but his worth is thousands of miles apart, and there is no need for him to lower his fame for a low-budget horror film.
Seeing Lin Xiao frowning slightly, Jonny immediately said knowingly, "Mr. Lin, we understand very well that you are at a critical moment of rushing out of the country, how can you find some small productions for you to shoot?" Your domestic fans won't say yes, will they? ”
He cleared his throat and looked at Lin Xiao sincerely, "The director of this drama is director Bong Jun-ho!" ”
It's him!
Lin Xiao's eyes lit up for the first time. I immediately guessed which film Jonny was talking about!
It's a big opportunity!
Bong Joon-ho has the reputation of "Korea's Best Director", but in this era, he has just finished filming the famous "Memories of Murder", which is the momentum of the rapid rise of his reputation.
He rarely shoots thrillers, horror films, and the first murderous memories have already been filmed, so ...... Only the next one remains!
He took a deep breath and asked, "What's the name of this film?" ”
"Lu!" Jonny said seriously.
Sure enough, it was!
Lin Xiao almost laughed out loud in his heart.
Xiao, I'm afraid many fans don't know this name, but it's another name, I'm afraid it's a household name.
Because of its popularity, its real name has almost been forgotten by everyone.
As the second film to enter the European and American markets after the midnight bell, it swept all the awards in South Korea that year, the six heavyweight awards of the Blue Dragon Award, the largest award in South Korea, the Cannes Audience Award, the most moviegoers in Korean history, and the best film at the first Asian Film Festival.
THEHOST.
Chinese remakes, Japanese remakes, American remakes...... South Korea spent 10 billion won, that is, 100 million US dollars, nearly one billion yuan to build the second part, and countless fans are looking forward to it...... A ghostly whirlwind really blew up.
As for why he found him, although Jonny didn't say it, he guessed pretty much.
South Korea in 99 years of the Korean Wave into the country, it became the first foreign country in Asia to dig gold in China, when SES, BABYVOX, mythology, HOT can be described as red through half of the sky in China, they tasted the sweetness of China, all the time do not want to go deeper.
However, immediately after the three major ministries, at that time, the two major ministries joined forces to block the impact of the Korean TV series and movies that followed.
The method is very simple, the perverted general review of the State Administration of Radio, Film and Television is enough to stop the footsteps of most foreign films, and at present, there are only two in China that have the right to distribute foreign films.
03 Huaxia, which was just established and has little seniority, aside, is only one of the current members of the three major departments, China Film.
Three departments, tossing foreign films to death. However, with the beginning of the great changes in the film market after China's accession to the WTO, this chain has become more and more brittle.
South Korea, which is so brittle that it is about to move, stretches out its tentacles again and again, wanting to dig gold in China like the Korean Wave again.
Since it is a nugget, then it needs a wedge, without exception, the national red star is the best choice, so they chose Lin Xiao.
He pondered.
This film is definitely of great help to him to start the Korean market, but it is almost impossible for him to play the leading role.
Because the protagonist of this film is one of the "troika" of South Korea's national actors, in this film, a man who has gone from cowardly to strong is expressed thoroughly.
In South Korea, he also has the nickname "God of Acting." ”
This is nothing, but if you play a foreign star with a role, it is easy to "be priced".
That is to say, if he takes it, the Koreans will have an obvious price for him, if it is high, others will not look for you, and if it is low, Dawn may not be willing to do so.
He also knew very well why there was a hint of stiffness on Jonny's face.
If he remembers correctly, this film was wildly criticized by the media from all sides in the years when it was planned to be filmed, and Bong Joon-ho was under great pressure, and the momentum was just as good as when he filmed Lan Woo.
Now, it may just be a rumor, but several major media in South Korea have begun to make a fuss.
"Mr. Lin?" Jonny's voice came to his ears, and he woke up.
"I'm sorry, I'm out of my mind." Lin Xiao said apologetically.
Jonny didn't care too much, "Mr. Lin, we are here this time to invite you to play a role in the play." I brought the script, you can read it first and then reply to me, it can be said that it is a male match......"
Lin Xiao nodded, and suddenly said seriously, "Jonny, male lead, has anyone chosen someone?" ”

Hawkers, to tell you a sad news, this book has been warned in the recent net of purification...... The reason is that it involves sensitive current affairs...... involves sensitive people (I thought about it for a long time, and it is estimated that it is the four celebrities who are talking about)...... Involving large cyber events (who can tell me what this is), public events...... Maybe it's gone......
There are a lot of articles that have been affected in the net network, and I don't mind scanning the H article, but the officialdom and ambiguity are almost wiped out...... Now it's finally the turn of entertainment literature......
Ahem...... In short, if I don't get blocked for a day, I'll try to write for a day...... I don't say I'm well written, but thanks so much I admit I haven't watered a single chapter!
Whether it is good or not is a matter of level, and whether it is serious or not is a matter of attitude.
But my plot is lighter, it should be no problem, it should be over just a little bit~~
Finally, I said that Broken Arm Mountain, I didn't plan to write it, but it was just a major event in the film and television industry that was about to happen, as a transition, this type of film can never be repeated, I didn't expect it to cause such a big movement, is it because I have a "criminal record?" ”
Finally, PS, I saw that I was writing so hard (at such a risk), and I didn't subscribe, did I use 9 cents to subscribe? It's more than 6 hours of writing time a day~~9 cents can't be exchanged?
I hate the D version ......@— @
