Chapter 137: The Insider
Three days later, Lin Xiao had almost finished the jet lag and went into battle lightly.
He clearly felt that the makeup artist was more careful, and even if he accidentally used force, he would immediately ask, "Mr. Lin, did I hurt you?" ”
It would be reassuring to see him shake his head.
This is the benefit of rising fame, South Korea, celebrities in the Chinese entertainment industry will ask, huh? Who is this? But for Europe and the United States, especially the American entertainment industry, it will immediately be like a treasure.
When he came to the set, a huge model more than two meters tall and seven or eight meters long, covered with black cloth, had been placed on the set. There are a lot of people around who are pointing fingers.
"Mr. Lin." Seeing him coming, Zheng Duobin showed a smile on his face, and walked over sweetly and said, "You're back." ”
Lin Xiao nodded and asked casually, "How was the shooting?" ”
Zheng Duobin showed a happy look on his face, "Although there is some trouble, I tried my best, and the director is also very satisfied." ”
On her face, there is no longer that hazy despair, but a sense of sunshine like the rising sun, Lin Xiao looked at her face and smiled suddenly, will South Korea's "first year of suicide" from this year disappear?
After thinking about it, he denied it himself.
It shouldn't be, in the last life, even if an artist like Zheng Duobin committed suicide, he still didn't change his attitude of cannibalism in the Korean entertainment industry, but they learned to cover a piece of cloth on their mouths, and they no longer peeled off their skin and bones so nakedly, even if Zheng Duobin's suicide note caused many people to burst into tears, it was just a small reef in the river, slightly hindered, but the general trend will not change.
Seeing Lin Xiao looking at her face, Zheng Duobin couldn't help but blush slightly.
The person in front of her made such a deep impression on her that she came out of her deep despair, and now, she has only one thought, to leave Korea! Get out of here! Go to the dawn!
What she didn't know was that if the other party didn't show up, she would be a few months later.
Maybe it's the attraction in the dark, she always feels that the other party has an attraction that is difficult to give up, and every move attracts her heart.
"Before, senior...... I'll pour you water......" She was blushing at the other man's gaze, and fled, turning away, her heart still pounding.
Lin Xiao retracted his gaze a little like waking up from a dream, he didn't know what Zheng Duobin was thinking, he just sighed a little that the world would be stormy.
At this moment, a tidal wave of exclamations came out of the set.
"It's so realistic!" "Feng Dao is really generous!" "This thing, put it in the Han River, it will definitely be terrifying!"
Lin Xiao cast his gaze, the huge monster had been pulled out of the black, the unique mouthparts, the fins specially designed by the doctor of biology, and the curved tail caused a heated discussion among the surrounding crowd.
"Alright." Bong Joon-ho's voice sounded in the loudspeaker, "Everyone, the Han River monster has been filming for two months, and every set of shots has been sent to the team that made the Lord of the Rings and King Kong special effects, and the appearance of this monster, I think you also know what this represents." ”
The audience was silent, the curiosity about the monster model was only temporary, and what Bong Joon-ho said was the eternal of the crew.
"First of all, I would like to reiterate that it is strictly forbidden to take pictures, shoot this model. If someone violates it, it will face huge claims from the Shadow Club. In addition, this movie has been filmed for two months, and the appearance of the model represents that the film will enter the final stage. ”
"In the last period, I don't want anyone to make mistakes, this film is the financing of the Film Association, an investment of 10 billion won, if anyone makes a mistake at this time, don't blame me for being ruthless."
After saying these words lightly, he casually put down the horn, waved his hand, and announced the start of filming.
Lin Xiao sat in the rest area, watching Bong Joon-ho shoot one by one, originally he thought that the other party was lifting weights lightly, but then Bong Joon-ho's loud shouting and the occasional green tendons on his forehead, he found that the other party was not as calm.
He laughed, too, at this juncture, the most nervous thing is nothing more than Cui Rongpei and him, this film carries too many different things.
Bong Joon-ho has endured even more, the pressure of the film club, if there is no pressure to become a big director, the pressure of the upcoming government quota restriction order, each of which is enough to collapse ordinary people.
But he can't show his anxious emotions, during the filming, he is the backbone, even Cui Rongpei will not point fingers when he is filming, his emotions will affect the entire crew. So, he can only act calm.
Perhaps such a means played a certain role, and the entire crew was proceeding in an orderly manner.
"Call it a day." The sun seemed to have sunset in the Han River, dyeing the entire river a golden red color, and Bong Joon-ho almost collapsed in his seat and said in a hoarse voice.
Lin Xiao got up and was about to leave, but saw Bong Joon-ho nodding at him, turning around and saying a few words to Kim Min-seok.
Obviously, he didn't even have the strength to shout, Kim Min-seok immediately leaned down, nodded while listening, and then trotted towards Lin Xiao.
"Mr. Lin." There was envy in his eyes: "Director Feng, please go have a drink tonight." ”
Lin Xiao nodded and agreed.
An hour later, Bong Joon-ho appeared at the meeting place in casual clothes.
"Mr. Lin." He barely smiled, "It's been a few months, and it's the first time we've gotten together." I had this idea for a long time, but time was always tight. ”
"Director Feng laughed, the director's time is always tight." Lin Xiao said perfunctorily with a smile.
"It's good that Mr. Lin understands."
The two laughed and walked into a small restaurant together.
It is said to be a restaurant, but it is actually a Korean barbecue restaurant. After entering, I took off my shoes, the two of them sat cross-legged on the mat, and after ordering the food, the shochu came up first.
"Mr. Lin......" Bong Joon-ho took a sip of wine, his face flushed a little red, "The Han River monster is about to be finished, what does Mr. Lin think of the box office of this film?" ”
"It's going to be an amazing movie." Lin Xiao said with a smile.
Bong Joon-ho smiled, didn't say anything more, and slowly took a sip of wine.
After a few glasses of wine, his nerves seemed to be a little more active, he raised his eyebrows, gently put down the wine glass, and said slowly, "A film, the first thing to look at is its benefits, this is a one-size-fits-all law, and the second is to look at its awards." Mr. Lin thinks this film will reach a certain point? ”
Lin Xiao felt a little inexplicable, thought for a while and said, "Judging from my experience, the three major awards in South Korea should not be able to run away." ”
Bong Joon-ho nodded, didn't say any more, picked up the silver chopsticks, picked up a chopstick pickle, and chewed gently.
After a long time, he put down his chopsticks and said to himself, "Accept your auspicious words, if I can reach this point, I am also right." ”
Lin Xiao didn't speak, he understood that Bong Junhao was a little overwhelmed by the huge pressure that was approaching the finale, and he just wanted to talk to someone.
Who to look for? Choi Young-pei is impossible, Bong Joon-ho has already disagreed with the purpose of the Film Association in order to achieve his status as a great director, and in total, Lin Xiao is the only one who is on the same front with him.
Both of them are working hard to make this film.
The pork belly came up, the greens also came up, and there were some seasonal seafood and fruits, and the two of them played with each other.
"Mr. Lin." In the middle of the night, just when the pork on the iron plate had already made a sound of "ziz" and glowed with golden color, Bong Joon-ho suddenly opened his mouth, "The government has passed the provisions to reduce quotas. ”
Lin Xiao raised his eyebrows, once it is released, then the situation in the Korean film and television industry, this huge whirlpool will finally begin to distort.
Countless artists will be involved, most of them will be used by the top level of the Shadow Club, just enthusiastically join the demonstrations and protests, and will be invisibly blocked afterwards, but they don't know that they have done someone else's gun, and the real high-level of the Shadow Club like Cui Rongpei will not come out.
"I'm not going to participate."
"In about two days, the news will be released." Bong Junhao said to himself, "Mr. Lin, when the time comes, I'm afraid you'll be busy." ”
"I don't think Mr. Cui will do anything stupid." Lin Xiao said lightly.
Bong Junhao shook his head, put down his chopsticks with a "each answer", looked at Lin Xiao's eyes, and said seriously, "Mr. Lin, with all due respect...... I'm afraid you don't really understand the importance of the quota system for the Shadow Club. ”
Lin Xiao looked at Bong Junhao quietly, this meal didn't seem to be as simple as talking about the heart.
If it's not Bong Joon-ho's stupidity, then he must have his own purpose.
In fact, Bong Joon-ho's situation is very bad, first of all, he doesn't know where he can go, secondly, Choi Young-bae's words about blocking him are like a knife on his neck, and finally, the upcoming Yingxing will have a big confrontation with the government, and he can't stay out of it at all.
"The government has tens of billions of film and television support funds every year." Bong Joon-ho finally spoke, his voice was calm, but anyone could guess how determined he was to tell the inside story of the Shadow Society, "And all this money will go through the hands of the Shadow Society." ”
"I don't think I need to say a lot about how much room there is in this. And in the end, the film and television industry only has a small head, and the major schools are even smaller than they can see. Where does the rest of the money go? A self-deprecating smile appeared on his face, "Cui Rongpei, I still don't know his identity, but I know very well that even Lin Quanze's predecessors and Jiang Digui's seniors are more respectful to him." He has several villas in Gangnam District, a Maserati car, and a Lamborghini, do you really think he has so much money? ”
"There is such a big gray space, so the film review of other companies and schools is becoming more and more strict, because they can't make it, and the money can let us shoot it ourselves. And once we shoot it ourselves, how much we use is not the final say? made a similar film and said that it cost 5 billion won, where can the government check? ”
Lin Xiao sighed silently, which country's entertainment industry doesn't have similar things? It's just that the Shadow Club has used the government's perennial support funds to reach a point where it can compete with the government, and this is the only case in Asia.
"Perennial...... The level of film and television has not improved much, but the top level of the film industry will really be rich one or two...... I think that's why the government is determined to cut quotas this time. ”
"Once the quota is cut, the grant will also be cut, and the Yingxing Association will never allow such a thing to happen." Bong Joon-ho sandwiched a piece of golden and oily pork and dipped it in a dipping sauce mixed with sesame paste, put it in the greens, and wrapped it absentmindedly, as if he was talking about something that had nothing to do with him.
