Chapter 140: One Dollar

"Of course I do." Bong Joon-ho also stood up from the director's chair and looked at Choi Young-bae with dignity, "This film, I want to report to Cannes!" ”

No one dares to speak, the producer and director are not right, no one in the crew dares to stand in the wrong line, and more importantly, the two belong to the Yingxing Club, but Bong Joon-ho's identity does not seem to be as high as Choi Young-bae.

Cui Rongpei's implication is already very clear, I can know the government's decision 30 minutes ago, and it is better for you to listen to me.

This film is the killer feature of the film association, once the fight against the government is unsuccessful, then this film is a declaration of war against Hollywood, and the entire Korean film and television industry will fight to the death with the monster of Hollywood like Park Kangdou's family in the film!

However, the excellent quality of the Han River monster will make Hollywood think twice about whether it is worth entering in the end.

"Cannes......" Cui Rongpei was too surprised, and said with a smile, "The Yingxing Club didn't stop you from applying for Cannes, and even we can help you get shortlisted for the ......"

"I'm going to declare Cannes in my name! And not in the name of the Shadow Club! Bong Joon-ho interrupted him, "It's Sei Yu Lan Co., Ltd.!" ”

Choi Young-bae restrained his smile, Bong Joon-ho's statement was very clear, he wanted to follow the path of a big director, and he was a big director who broke away from the Movie Club.

"You're not happy with where you are?" Cui Rongpei said lightly, "I can promise you, as long as the Han River monster achieves its purpose, then your status will be the same as Lin Quanze, Jiang Digui and others." ”

Park Hae-il gasped, Lim Kwon-taek, known as the godfather of Korean films, and Kang Di-gyu, a "fish" sniped the Titanic, the status of the two in the Korean film industry is not an exaggeration to say that it is Taishan Beidou, it is conceivable what the identity of Yingxing will be, and Choi Young-bae actually thinks that the Han River monster can be compared to "fish? ”

Bong Joon-ho was stunned.

He never expected that a punch he made with all his strength would hit the cotton.

Originally, he thought that there was a rift in the relationship between him and Yingxinghui, and he would definitely not declare Cannes for him the monster of the Han River, but now the other party said that he could declare?

He glanced at Lin Xiao with complicated eyes, and Lin Xiao saw hesitation in his eyes.

He smiled and didn't say anything, this film, whoever declares it is the same, it's a pity not to declare, since the Yingxing Association wants to declare, then why should he be involved in the twists and turns of the Yingxing Association and the government.

The world is bustling, all for profit, when the expected Yingxing will block and does not appear, there is no need for the verbal agreement between him and Bong Joon-ho to exist.

What he wanted, he had already got, and that was enough.

Seeing that Lin Xiao didn't express his position, Bong Junhao suddenly realized that all he wanted was to declare in Cannes, which film to report, it depends on the company and not on the artist, whoever declares it is the same, and it has no impact on Lin Xiao at all.

"Are you sure?" Bong Joon-ho asked in a muffled voice.

"Of course." A smile appeared on Cui Rongpei's white face, and he said in his words, "Fengdao, it's not a good thing to be too fickle." ”

Bong Joon-ho snorted coldly and didn't speak again.

"No objections, right?" Cui Rongpei said with a smile: "Then it's decided?" ”

Bong Joon-ho didn't speak.

Cui Rongpei nodded and made a gesture to call it a day, "It's time for lunch, let's rest." ”

Lin Xiao was about to leave, but a man approached him.

"Mr. Lin, Mr. Cui, please have lunch."

Lin Xiao thought about it and accepted it.

Lunch was held in a high-end restaurant, Cui Rongpei ordered good red wine, fish roe, and looked at Lin Xiao with a smile.

"You never seem to be angry?" Lin Xiao also asked with a smile.

"Some things still will." Cui Rongpei poured red wine for Lin Xiao and said straightforwardly, "Mr. Lin, you didn't go down the wrong path with Fengdao, this is a very wise approach. ”

Lin Xiao took a sip of the wine glass and smiled, "I have got what I wanted." ”

"Yes, it's a pity that Fengdao, genius is enough, but it is too easy to waver." Choi Young-bae shook his head regretfully, "I value gains and losses too much, but I have lost my own way, and his achievements are limited to South Korea." ”

"Again, I don't want to be your enemy. Since Mr. Lin wants to clean himself in this turmoil, we will let you get your wish. ”

Lin Xiao sighed: "Mr. Cui is a person who knows how to make trade-offs. ”

Cui Rongpei smiled, "The choice depends on the person, just like the separation and integration of the showbiz artist and the company, it is mainly a good word." ”

He knocked on the table with one hand and muttered, "Ten minutes ago, many artists under SM, DSP, JYP, as well as some veterans in the film and television industry, Xue Jingqiu, Song Kang-ho, and Choi Min-sik have united with film and television people from all over South Korea to prepare to start this 'holy war'. ’”

"At one o'clock in the afternoon, you'll see a declaration of war for this fight, with more than 100 artists, from superstars to newcomers, and if the South Korean government doesn't take back their mandate, they're going to stick to 73 days, which is the number of days of the reduced quota, to ban the campaign."

Lin Xiao's brows furrowed slightly, he didn't hear worry from Cui Rongpei's words.

"Shadow will win?" He asked tentatively.

"Defeated." Cui Rongpei's answer immediately made him pay attention.

As the top-level personnel of the Shadow Club, he knew that he would lose but was unmoved, which was related to tens of billions of annual income, and this determination alone was beyond ordinary people.

Cui Rongpei picked up the red wine, shook it, the transparent glass reflected his slightly blessed appearance, and suddenly smiled, "Mr. Lin, do you think it's strange, why am I not worried?" ”

"It's just a process, a process of enjoyment. I just want to try if I have the strength to operate in the Korean film and television industry, and it seems that my savings are not enough. Cui Rongpei smiled faintly, "What will Yingxing be?" In the organization of the world, it is not ranked at all. ”

Lin Xiao's gaze was deep, Cui Rongpei was still the first person he felt completely uncertain when he was reborn.

In the past, even if there was a name, he could come up with some clues, and with more than ten years of rebirth experience, the biggest advantage was the prophet. But Cui Rongpei, not only has he never seen it, but he has never heard of it, the producer of the Hanjiang Monster, he is only known by this name.

"Mr. Lin, you're actually on my watch list." Cui Rongpei smiled, "I am moved by your persistence, you seem to always know what you want, and you are never bothered by other things." That's the part I appreciate the most. Declare Cannes, just one Bong Joon-ho, I can threaten him on the spot the first time, there will be a second time. ”

"It's because of your special identity that I temporarily changed my mind, Bong Joon-ho disobeyed me in public, and I didn't have to worry about him. This Cannes is not so much about pushing the boat down the river, but about giving you face. ”

"It's a pity that you're not enough, not enough to join us." He went on to say, "If the ordinary position is not suitable for you, too high, you are not suitable." Your identity is awkward. ”

"Are you so sure I'm going to join you?" Lin Xiao said lightly: "Who are you?" ”

"I believe there isn't much in the world that can say no." Cui Rongpei took out something from his pocket, put it on the table, and got up to leave, "Mr. Lin, this turmoil, I will do what I say, no matter what contract you have with the government, no matter what contract you have with Yingxing, you can stay out of it." As a gesture of kindness, next time, I hope to welcome you in another capacity. Of course, if you can go that far. ”

Cui Rongpei left, and Lin Xiao's gaze fell on the things on the table.

It was a somewhat old banknote.

Dollars, and a dollar, are stacked in triangles, neatly aligned.

"What is this?" He looked at it suspiciously, and turned it over and over several times, and it was indeed just an ordinary dollar.

He tried to open it, and there was a one-dollar coin wrapped in it, and nothing else.

It seems that this is the key to Cui Rongpei's true identity.

"You are not in the Yingxing Club sequence, but you can manipulate tens of billions of won, and Yingxing will be regarded as the last resort to invest in movies, who are you?" He folded the dollar back into a triangle and put it in his pocket.

At 12 p.m. on November 25, the South Korean government officially announced the reduction of the local quota for Korean films.

On the same day, CJ Entertainment and SHOWBOX, two of Korea's largest distribution companies, five major film production companies, signed by more than 100 artists, and a collective press conference of more than 150 people was held at the headquarters of C&G Entertainment.

The sky in the Korean film and television industry has changed suddenly.

On Chungmu Road, there are slogans all over the place, and people wearing and holding demonstration signs can be seen everywhere, shouting all kinds of slogans in their mouths, and the crowd is excited.

"Resolutely resist the government's exchange of cooperation for treaties!" "The Korean film and television industry will fight to the end!" And so on, and so on, it was almost written on the face.

Even in the Han River monster crew, similar sounds can be heard from time to time.

Lin Xiao did not join, Park Hae-il signed the protest letter angrily, and stated that he would definitely be banned for seventy-three days, and Lin Xiao did not stop him at all.

That night, he came to Christina's room for the first time.

During this time, she was busy contacting Lin Xiao's next drama and dealing with Warner's out-of-court settlement, and almost did not appear on the set, but would go back to the apartment every day to rest.

"Oh...... Honey, you've finally come to me...... Can you give me a shower? If you like a little more exciting, I don't care. A sleepy-eyed Christina lifted a tightly wrapped hand in her pajamas from the bed to make an invitation.

"Ask you something." Lin Xiao took out the banknote in his pocket, "Do you know what this is?" ”

Christina yawned, but as soon as she looked at the banknote, she couldn't take her eyes off it.

She quickly got up from the bed, grabbed the banknotes, looked at them several times, and asked with an unusually serious expression, "Who gave it to you?" ”

"A Korean named Choi Young-bae."

Christina was sleepy, and walked around the room irritably, and after a while, she opened the blinds, brushed half of her blonde hair, sighed, and said, "Lin, you may have encountered a big opportunity, or a big problem......

Lin Xiao frowned, "How old?" ”

"It's as big as you think!" Christina's voice became louder, "I can tell you that the organizations you are meeting now, including your Chinese Film Department and the Korean Film Association!" None of them can make an international emperor superstar! But it can! Not only can it create an enduring emperor superstar, but it can also control a superstar! ”
