Chapter 96: Seeing the Sun
His voice surrounded the entire room, Lin Xiao was silent, and Christina was completely stunned.
In an instant, black and white were reversed, and it turned out that what I saw was only a layer of performance. Lin Xiao sighed a little, from the future development of South Korea, the government's move this time was right, in 99, the pressure was too great, and the quota system at that time was still not used by the real high-level of the film and television industry as it is now, and now, the government finally took advantage of this opportunity to make a ruthless move.
To test the right or wrong of a thing, it is not to see who speaks emotionally and whose body language is richer, but to look at the present from the perspective of future development.
No one has this feature, so they choose to trust the sources, the lobbyists, and the groups behind them.
However, Lin Xiao has.
He can look at this matter from the perspective of the future, and contact the development of the Korean film and television industry since 08, he listened to Lee Hyung-tae and chose to believe it.
What he sighed was that just an hour ago, the impassioned directors and several actors, the heroic and heroic atmosphere, maybe their true thoughts were in it, but more was indifference and selfishness.
Under the boiling blood, it is the ulterior purpose that is concealed.
"Real...... Often unexpected. He said with emotion, and nodded to Li Hengtai, "I believe in you." ”
"Because I didn't sign a contract, I just saw the last clause of the add-on agreement, and they wanted me to contribute to the march."
His eyes flashed slightly, "And the purpose of you coming here is the same...... My other identity, China's first goodwill ambassador, has just attended a visit to Taiwan, and my identity is sensitive, and if I get involved in this matter, the government's attitude will be greatly hindered, so you don't want me to participate, and they can't wait for me to go ahead and be a gunman. ”
"That's why I didn't sign a contract on the spot."
Li Hengtai patted his chest and smiled sincerely at Lin Xiao kindly.
Lin Xiao nodded, "I'm afraid Song Kanghao's resignation is not a pity that he showed, but a great blessing." Because if he participates, it will be equivalent to standing on the opposite side of the government, and he will not feel good even if he is a national actor. ”
He smiled, "It's a pity, he still shows a mentality of eating sour grapes, I almost thought he was really sorry for this role...... is really worthy of being an actor, acting anytime and anywhere. ”
"Then, if Mr. Lin doesn't act in this film, we will be very grateful." Lee Hyung-tae said.
Lin Xiao's trust, he deeply felt a sense of recognition, these things are indeed facts, and they are also the main reason why the government must reform the quota system! But if this kind of thing were to be put in the vanguard by a Chinese goodwill ambassador, things would be completely complicated.
When he said it, he was afraid that Lin Xiao would not believe it, but the other party believed him.
"Not only Song Kang-ho, but everyone who doesn't want the quota system to reform, unless they don't understand the truth, is the one who really obstructs the reform of the Korean film and television industry! They are sanctimonious in their words, but in fact, they have changed the taste of the entire film club! ”
Lin Xiao smiled: "It's impossible not to act." ”
This film, which won numerous awards, is a symbol of South Korea's counterattack on the American market, the only voice in Asia in 06, and even "Japan Sinking" did not carry the limelight of the other party, and swept most of the awards at the Asia-Pacific Film Festival in 07, as an artist, he has no reason to refuse.
Besides, what does it matter to him that the Korean film and television industry and the government are fighting?
"However, I can promise you not to show up at the protests, not even to sign."
Lee Hyung-tae sighed, it would be best to let Lin Xiao not act, but South Korea is a country known as a democracy, and no one can do this, otherwise Lin Xiao will go back and talk about it in China as his first goodwill ambassador, and this matter will become a diplomatic dispute. Something completely unnecessary.
The order of the Ministry of Culture is that Lin Xiao must not be involved. At the very least, he can't let the other side into the demonstration, and he has already done it.
"Mr. Lin, then may I ask...... his gaze keenly fell on the contract on the bed, "That, how are you going to solve it?" ”
"No." Christina smiled and picked up, "Just push it to the agency." It's a big deal, so they use Song Kang-ho. It doesn't matter. ”
Seeing Lee Hyung-tae's relieved look, she smiled and said, "Don't worry, they will definitely choose Mr. Lin." After listening to your conversation, I can roughly understand what's going on. This protagonist was sent to the door, Song Kanghao is not a fool, a drama and the challenges he faces, if there is no candidate, he will go on his own, but once he has a better choice, why does he want to come to this knife mountain? ”
"And they'll say, look, the Chinese side agrees with our attitude, and they've invited goodwill ambassadors, but they'll never know that Mr. Lin has made an agreement with the Ministry of Culture."
"I just want to make a film, I don't want to get involved in these troublesome things, that's all." Lin Xiao said lightly.
Lee Hyung-tae nodded seriously, "Then, Mr. Lin, although we have made a verbal agreement, you will definitely receive a return gift from the government in advance before the filming of the Han River monster is over." ”
He saluted and walked out.
"Lin, will there really be a showbiz parade in South Korea?" Christina asked curiously, "Why are they so nervous?" ”
"Absolutely." Lin Xiao said with certainty, "The bald head movement in 99 years, has it only been a few years? Once the quota is reached, with Jewel in front, why don't they do a bald head exercise? Anyway, it is themselves who benefit, and it is most of the unreasonable artists who contribute to it. ”
"And when do you estimate it?"
"Just around the time of the Chinese New Year!"
"And what about the directors?"
"It's simple, just tell them that my image can't be used casually, but they will still sign me, because this is a hole card for them against the government, and the more muddy this trip, the easier it will be for them to repeat the 99-year skinhead movement."
Christina looked bitter: "Looks like I have to sing blackface again?" Not...... Why do I say again? ”
"Alright, you can go and rest." Lin Xiao waved his hand, "Goodbye, next door is your room." ”
"Tsk, what a negative person." Christina dropped a piece of gum into her mouth, "Goodbye, handsome, if you have an idea, remember to hammer the wall." ”
"You'll sleep soundly."
After Christina left, Lin Xiao was about to wash his face and get to bed, when suddenly, his phone rang.
He picked it up and looked at it, and immediately picked it up.
"Oh, Lin, long time no see, I miss you so much...... Cook the dishes. Nolan laughed out loud for this self-satisfied joke, Lin Xiao smiled bitterly and asked, "Director, do you have anything to do with me?" ”
"Of course, of course." Nolan stopped laughing, "I'm in trouble. Need your advice. ”
"Oh? I'm happy to help. ”
"That's right. I think the story you told about dreams is very interesting, but I always feel that something is missing, and I can't hold on to it...... Also, Did you read the script for Batman 2? I didn't find a role in it that suited you too well. ”
Director...... It's like two things......"
"Oh, yes, it's two, and the second one I just remembered."
Nolan was babbling on the phone, but Lin Xiao couldn't help frowning slightly.
There is one thing that he has always cared about, but he can't see Ni Duan at all.
Stringer announced the cooperation between Dawning and Sony in a high-profile manner, and last week, he has taken over as CEO of Sony, holding great power, standing at the peak of the film and television industry, as his sworn enemy Warner, Sony is always thinking about the sky-high shame of 800 million US dollars, how can Warner still cooperate with him?
He asked Christina, and the other party was also inexplicable, only said that she must pay attention, and she also thought this matter was very strange.
No matter how powerful Nolan is, he can't affect Warner, and when to send out the selection contract, the initiative is completely in Warner's hands, he doesn't want Lin Xiao to get involved in the second part, Lin Xiao really can't get in the second part, but now he is still discussing with Lin Xiao, and it can't help but make people suspicious.
"Mr. Nolan." Lin Xiao finally opened his mouth: "Is the director of the second part still you?" ”
"Yes." Nolan excitedly replied, "Of course it's me, unless he wants to silence the Batman brand again." ”
Director Nolan also selected him, which seems that Warner has no previous suspicions for money, and can only make this explanation.
"Well, I'm watching, is it the role of the clown?" He asked.
"That's why I have a headache." Nolan's voice deepened, "I have two candidates, Johnny. Depp, Heath. Ledger, Lin, you're not on my list. ”
Lin Xiao had a hint of complexity in his heart.
Now he has an acting skill of nearly 1200, but he still lacks a chance to prove himself.
Nolan spoke very directly, not considering Lin Xiao's attitude at all, and then said, "Joker, you need a kind of madness. But you know what, people in every country are completely different when they go crazy. I don't think you in Asia can understand the madness of Europe and the United States. I don't approve of you playing a clown. ”
"Director, I need a chance." Lin Xiao said solemnly, "Choose me, you will see a surprise." ”
Now he has this kind of self-confidence! If he is asked to have a long-shot emotional drama with a 20 million superstar, he will not be false at all.
"Let's talk about it." Nolan didn't continue, "By the way, let's talk about the script of dreams and space again, I feel very interested in the layers of dreams you said. I always feel like I can make a fuss about this. ”
After chatting for a long time, Lin Xiao put down the phone.
Looking at the night sky outside the house, he suddenly felt that this road seemed to have no end.
There are so many roles, so many lives waiting for him to try, and he is still looking up to the ten emperor superstars of the 20 million club.
"It won't be far." He shook his hand and entered the room.
