Chapter 114: This movie is just a means
An hour later, Kim Ki-duk rubbed his sore eyes, and said with some sighs: "This script is really good, Li Huanxi, you are really good, in the current film industry, few screenwriters will create scripts with this kind of social surname, most people only pursue the box office, which leads to the proliferation of various third-rate commercial films, if only there were more screenwriters like you!" ”
Li Huanhuan looked at Kim Ki-deok, who was holding the script tightly, with some amusement at the moment, and then sank down and said seriously: "Let's be honest, the reason why I came to you is that I hope you can be the director of this script and put him on the big screen!" ”
Kim Ki-duk was a little excited when he heard this, but the next second he suddenly said dejectedly: "Thank you really for sending me such a good script, but now I am really not suitable for making movies, and although I am very concerned about the story of this subject and the crowd, if I come to shoot this script, it may become a story that is unacceptable to the public, you should choose a more suitable director to shoot this script, if there is no suitable person, I can introduce you to two!" ”
Li Huanhuan shook his head decisively and said: "I think Director Kim Ki-duk is the most suitable candidate, as for the question of whether it is suitable or not, in fact...... I haven't seen a single movie of my predecessors! ”
Kim Ki-duk's glasses widened, and he asked a little embarrassed and curious, "Then how did you find me?" ”
"Because I asked a few friends at the beginning, what director is more suitable for such a theme, and the first thing my friend said was you, senior, so I learned some information about my predecessors, and then came here through friends' inquiries!"
Kim Ki-duk doesn't know what kind of feeling he feels at the moment, whether he should be happy or sad, a screenwriter who has never seen his own movie, but comes to him with a good script he created, his mood is very complicated at the moment.
However, Li Huanhuan did not stop, and continued: "In fact, from a personal standpoint, I don't know what these movies of my predecessors want to reflect, but I admire the persistence of my predecessors very much, but at the same time I feel a little ridiculous, as a Korean director, the movies shot by my predecessors are not liked in China, and what you want to reflect, my compatriots have given up watching because they can't accept the film style of their predecessors, which is really a helpless and ridiculous thing!" ”
"Senior, don't think I'm laughing at you, I'm just talking about this from the perspective of an ordinary person!"
"Now what I'm going to say is what I want my predecessors to do...... Or something that I did with me! ”
Li Huanhuan took a deep breath, and then said seriously: "If the seniors really want to spread something, or really have a heart, then do me a favor, I don't just want to reflect and accuse me of making this movie, what I want is ......"
Kim Ki-duk was very nervous by this young man's words, and his breathing was a little shorter, and Kang Ji-eun, who was hiding in the tent next to him, also secretly listened to the corner.
Whether Li Huanhuan is a good person is actually unclear himself, but he can be sure that he is not a bad person, since some things are laid out, it must be done in the end, Li Huanhuan not only wants to rely on the movie to establish an image for himself, he also wants to push out the things that appear in his memory, which can be regarded as doing his part for those children.
"This film is just a means, what I want is to investigate and restart, and implement the "Melting Pot Law", that is, to revise and improve the existing law, which can provide better protection and human rights for these vulnerable groups, including ordinary children, if the predecessors think that they will make the same movies as before, it doesn't matter, I can be a producer, of course I don't understand anything, I definitely need a producer besides me, and I am only responsible for you, I will clamp down on your shooting method, and I will not let you make it into an art film!"
"So I hope that my seniors can accept my invitation, and at least I believe that if my seniors are willing to work with me, our chances of success will be much greater."
Li Huanhuan finished his thoughts with a serious face, this is not his foolishness, this is one of the purposes of his filming of this movie, in addition to his own reasons, this is the reason.
As for the box office, in fact, Li Huanhuan didn't think about it, if he could, he would like to donate the money earned from this movie, of course, this is just thinking, after all, movies are not a family.
And at this moment, Kim Ki-duk was completely shocked by Lee Joy's words, at first he just thought it was a good script, and Lee Joy was a young screenwriter with ideas.
But at this moment, he realized that he was wrong, and he was wrong, and the young man in front of him actually made Kim Ki-duk feel a huge sense of guilt, and that feeling was amazing.
Because he has always regarded movies as a carrier to convey ideas and some social realities, relying on all kinds of dark and heavy content to convey ...... Although it has won a lot of awards, it is really ridiculous that Koreans do not sell it, just like Li Huanhuan said.
Of course, this is not the reason why Kim Ki-duk is ashamed, what makes him ashamed is that all he thinks about is passing on and his own movie...... After all, he is just a director, a filmmaker, and changing the word is too far away for him.
But Li Huanhuan is different, what he just expounded is completely using movies as a tool to change reality, and it is something that he really wants to change, not a delusional insistence on any film art.
Looking at the expectation in Li Huanhuan's eyes, Kim Ki-duk suddenly seemed to have understood, he had been in this place for more than half a year, and he had thought about many things, and Kim Ki-duk had also thought about change, but he was reluctant to give up his persistence.
But at this moment, he suddenly realized, it can't be said that he subverted his thoughts, he can only say that there is a new thing in his consciousness, just like this is called the script of "The Crucible", if he can, if he can succeed as Li Huanhuan said, isn't it also a great thing to do, and it is also a kind of self-sublimation? While completing the shooting, you can also realize the value of yourself and the movie!
As for Li Huanhuan's use of movies as a means, he doesn't think there's anything wrong with it......
For a while, Kim Ki-duk's whole person's spirit and spirit have changed dramatically, and he seems to be much more energetic.
"Good! It's really nice to know you, and I'm glad that you can send the script to me, please rest assured that this time I will not be silent in my own world, I hope we can work together to achieve your goals! ”
Li Huanhuan finally breathed a sigh of relief at the moment, although these statements are true ideas, but they are also Li Huanhuan's statements that have been sorted out during this time, if he fails, he does not say that Kim Ki-duk, Li Huanhuan can only find other directors, fortunately, he succeeded.
Of course, Li Huanhuan also admits that doing these things is more for himself, if in terms of proportion, the words he said to Kim Ki-duk just now occupy 40% of the part, then the remaining 60% is for himself.
Anyway, Kim Ki-duk agreed to his invitation, and Lee Hee-joy was very happy, and then ...... Kim Ki-duk 'cried'.
"I'm really grateful to my seniors, then I'll get the storyboard and line book out quickly when I go back, and I'll leave the investment and crew to my seniors!"
