"Time is very tight, and we don't have much time left for Mr. Lin this time, or very little." As soon as Kim Yong-tae got on the elevator, he restrained his smile and said seriously, "I heard that Mr. Lin knows about the quota system?" ”

Lin Xiao smiled, sure enough, Li Xiaoli didn't know when he sold himself, and after selling his favors, he probably felt that he was losing money, and he "transferred" himself to the Hanjiang Monster crew, which is really ...... Cunning......

"Something about it." He did not hide it either, saying truthfully, "I heard that the United States and South Korea are negotiating a WTO agreement, and if it is passed, the South Korean government will cut the quota for South Korean screens, from 146 days to 73 days." ”

Kim Yong-tae's body trembled slightly, this sentence, no matter what comes out of anyone's mouth, even if it is just a hearing, it is a nightmare!

The history of the development of Korean films can be said to be closely related to the screen quota system, and it cannot be separated from it at all! Without screen quotas, there would be no Korean movies!

"This cannot be tolerated!" He waved his hand and couldn't help but say in a loud voice, "I won't say how many people are unemployed...... The key is...... Can the current Korean films withstand the onslaught of Hollywood...... That's impossible! There is no corner in the world that can welcome the sweep of Hollywood! It's an invasion of culture! We must fight! This is trampling on our Guanghua Gate! ”

"Mr. Lim, you have also seen that now not only DSP, but also SM and JYP are all mobilized, and if the government insists on going its own way, we will swear to defend the film and television rights of the Republic of Korea!"

Lin Xiao nodded in agreement, but there was really not much sense of belonging in his heart.

What is Guanghuamen? He didn't know. However, I have seen the fanatical patriotism of some Koreans.

After saying these few sentences, Kim Yong-tae indignantly told the importance of the screen quota system to the Korean film and television industry. And Lin Xiao had already stitched together some fragments of memories in his mind.

In 1970, South Korea began a quota protection campaign, in order to protect Korean films from Hollywood's cultural invasion, according to a company's output, and the government issued how many foreign films could be broadcast, in order to obtain the broadcast rights of blockbusters, distribution companies united with theaters, together to invest in local film and television, although foreign blockbusters were entered, but did support the Korean film industry.

The elevator lights were bright, Lin Xiao looked at Jin Yongtai from the corner of his eye, and there was no trace of discoloration on the other party's face, all for the indignation of revitalizing the industry.

He looked at the slightly harsh lights overhead, and remembered the great war at the turn of the century in 1999.

In 99, South Korea decided to cut the quota for the first time, but at that time, the entertainment industry songs, films, television, and variety shows all worked together, and the artists shaved their heads in protest, and finally forced the government to take back their lives! The quota for one hundred and forty-six days is reserved!

This is the famous bald movement in Korean film history.

He sighed, in 06, this is the second time, the film and television industry thought that it could reverse the government's decree like in 99, but this time, it hit a stone.

06 years later, South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun used iron-blooded means to "sell" half of the screen quota for the sake of the WTO agreement, which led to the collective depression of Korean films in 07, but ushered in the second spring of Korean films in 08.

The reason why he remembered this incident was because the original intention of the filming of the Han River monster was Bong Joon-ho's own long-standing dream, and secondly, the change of the screen quota caused violent anti-American sentiment in the Korean film and television industry.

And why the other party designated himself is already clear at a glance, just like Bong Joon-ho's original intention, he is using this film to satirize the cultural aggression of the United States, and the best way to satirize aggression is to hit this film to the United States.

Don't you want to invade your own market? Good? Then I'll show you that your "aggression" may turn into a "bitter war." ”

It was also a demonstration of the Korean film industry. Tell the United States that the Korean film industry is not as weak as you think, and advise you to give up this piece and choose another profit, and keep the quota system for us, otherwise, the Korean film industry will fight against Hollywood with all its might.

However, the Korean film industry does not have an internationally renowned artist, who is the most famous Asian artist internationally? It must be Cheng Long, but unfortunately, he can't afford Cheng Long's salary, and the second is Lin Xiao, who has just emerged on the world stage.

World-class popularity is very important for Korean filmmakers to slap the US imperialists.

In the previous life, he didn't have this popularity, and Bong Joon-ho couldn't afford to invite Cheng Long, so he could only take Song Kang-ho, and the other party lived up to the expectations of the three major Korean actors, and the interpretation was vivid, if you don't ignore the huge difference in age and appearance of the family.

In this life, the return of the little butterfly and the wind fanning it gave them one more, but it was quite a good choice.

"Ding Dong ......" The elevator stopped on the twenty-fourth floor and opened, Kim Yong-tae nodded at him, and he followed closely on the quiet floor.

This floor is very quiet, full of offices, occasionally see a few employees, except for stopping to say hello to them, the rest of the time is in a hurry, even if they are on the phone, the voice is very low.

Green plants are placed between the hallways, completely different from the staff floor below.

A huge pair of "against cultural aggression, all Korean filmmakers and the masses are united!" The banner is written on the gossip flag and hangs in the middle of the corridor, which is particularly eye-catching.

There were dense signatures of people's names on it, and Lin Xiao looked over quietly, and he had already seen the names of Song Kanghao, Zhang Dongjian, Quan Xiangyou and others.

"Click......" Jin Yongtai pushed open a door, but Lin Xiao was stunned.

Inside the door, there was not one person sitting at all, but seven people sitting.

On the left, there are currently the three major Korean directors, the "Godfather of Korean Cinema" Lim Kwon-taek, who is full of white hair, a rectangular face, and a majestic face, Kim Ki-deok, one of the current three Korean directors who looks like the evil god of fire clouds in kung fu, Kang Di-gyu with a big pie face, messy hair, and a pair of fish bubble eyes, and Bong Joon-ho with big wavy hair, square face, and glasses.

On the right, there is Song Kang-ho with a kind face, Choi Min-sik who looks like an ordinary uncle, and Xue Jingqiu, who looks like Chen Zhiming.

On the left and right, on one side are the three current directors of South Korea, cutting-edge directors! On the other side is the troika of artists, which can almost be said to represent the combination of the highest status in the current film and television industry in South Korea.

In 99, the government caused a big backlash in the entire entertainment industry! And now, the music industry has a trend beyond the film and television industry, and this time, I am afraid that only a few people in the music industry will stand up!

Only these fighters are still fighting to the death on this battlefield! The quota reduction has touched the root of the film and television industry!

Behind them, there is a huge photo frame, and inside is a photo magnified countless times, which is exactly the group photo of all the bald artists after the victory of the skinhead movement in 99.

"For the sake of the film and television industry of the Republic of Korea! We fight to the end! ”

A line of bloody red letters is printed on the photo, which is particularly shocking.

Seeing them come in, everyone nodded slightly, Jin Yongtai quietly retreated, and Lin Xiaogang sat down. Lin Zequan spoke.

"Mr. Lin, I believe you have seen it." He tried to squeeze out a smile on his rigid face, nodded slowly to Lin Xiao, and gently rubbed his rough fingers against the table, "The situation in the entire Korean film and television industry has reached a point where the dark tide is turbulent. ”

"Whoever ignites this primer will blow up the pack of explosives completely."

"We will never allow US imperialism to trample on the dignity of South Korean culture!" South Korea's "legendary director" Kang Digui slapped the table, and the masseter muscles of his cheeks were trembling, "When my 'fish' could defeat the Titanic once, I could defeat them a second time!" ”

"This battle is a battle alone in the film and television industry! The music world doesn't help us anymore! We ourselves can get the government to cancel such stupid decisions! Kim Ki-duk also shouted excitedly.

Lin Xiao nodded, I heard in advance that there is a pathological stubbornness in the patriotic sentiment of Koreans, and this matter has been seen.

Bong Joon-ho looked at him and said seriously, "Mr. Lin, your information is indeed very well-informed. We talked about it for a long time before deciding that you were a better fit for the role. ”

"Why does this film need the nod of our group?" Jiang Digui frowned and said, "This film, with an investment of 10 billion won, is the largest film in the country this year, if you don't come up with something at the end of this year, the United States will definitely force the government to continue to cut quotas!" This film, which seems to be Mr. Bong's movie, is actually related to the lifeblood of the entire Korean movie! ”

"I also felt that Mr. Lin was more suitable for this role, so I voluntarily gave up my position." Song Kanghao smiled and nodded to Lin Xiao, his big pie face seemed to be so kind forever, "I have seen Mr. Lin's movies, Director Jiang may also remember it vividly, Mr. Lin's acting skills are definitely not below the three of us, and more importantly, the age is suitable and the international reputation is high, at this point, the three of us are not as good as Mr. Lin." ”

Lin Xiao frowned slightly, this sentence seems to be praised, but in fact it is killed, it seems that Song Kanghao's role may not be willingly conceded, but after the discussion of these people, he finally chose a more internationally renowned person to slap this slap, as a national actor, he was quite apprehensive.

Xue Jingqiu said "um" lightly, without saying anything, and Cui Minzhi drank the coffee in front of him without saying a word.

"Mr. Lim, this time is a very important matter for the film and television industry of the Republic of Korea." Lin Quanze looked at Lin Xiao and said, "We don't want to use foreign artists unless we have to." But not only South Korea, but also Japan and China are also suffering from Hollywood invasion. You can go to Hollywood to develop, that's because you're not a director, and it's the same for everyone you make! ”

"Once you're a real director yourself, thinking in terms of a director, rather than making a cameo as you used to be, you're really aware of that responsibility." Kang Je-gyu also solemnly said, "Once the government agrees to open quotas for trade, the future of the entire Korean film market will become unimaginable!" ”

"Maybe it will be reborn in adversity." Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"You have to prepare for the worst." Lim Kwon-taek said, "This film takes on something different, and this is our voice to Hollywood. ”
