Chapter 116: Fear of Heights (2)
The two faced each other-for-tat, the smell of gunpowder was so strong that they couldn't melt it, and the rest of the crew was silent, and they didn't dare to say anything with their heads down.
Two people, no matter which one of them, can decide their life and death with one word, and they don't have the right to open their mouths at all.
"Surprised, huh?" Christina said softly, "This kind of thing is definitely not seen in China." ”
"In your country, which investment is not a saint for the director? I'm afraid that the director will be in a bad mood and make a big bad movie. But in South Korea, all of this is different because of the difference in the central system. She spit out the gum and found another piece of strawberry-flavored one and threw it into her mouth, "It's a pity, China wants to set up a Golden Raspberry Award, see if they dare to make a bad movie?" ”
Lin Xiao listened silently, he had heard Christina say this sentence many times, but the first time he clearly understood the difference between the producer-centric system was now.
"In China, the producer has only one task, and that is to manage the crew's money, when the director wants it, and when to give it. But in foreign countries, it's completely different, the producer's work is very heavy, and the highest power time is when the film decides to invest. Looking at the-for-tat confrontation between the two on the set, Christina continued, "The reason why Chinese producers are not professional enough is because China Film is the biggest obstacle. ”
Lin Xiao's heart moved, he thought of the Icelandic covenant with Li An and Wu Yusen, although it has not started yet, but he estimates that this time is very soon.
"If you want to reform China's film and television system, what can you do?" He asked seemingly nonchalantly.
"There is no way, there is no grading system in China, there is no quota system, there is only a 'harmonious system,' and to reform, you must first hold a key position in the Ministry of Broadcasting and Film. Or let the film department not dare to despise your proposal, and really do an important thing to see. Christina seemed to guess what he was thinking, and in one sentence, "Speaking of which, you have some of this capital, but you lack international fame." If there is an international trophy for you, the Film Department will pay more attention to it, such as "China's first Cannes actor winner," "China's first Golden Globe Award winner" and so on. In short, the more chips you have, the more they can't afford not to take seriously. But the most important thing is that you must not lose your status as a goodwill ambassador. ”
She went on to say, "The first thing a foreign producer needs is not the ability to raise money, but the ability to capture the market keenly. The actual profit of the film is equal to whether the company will support it, and it can only be made if it makes money, why are there few literary films? That's because the box office of literary films is not high, and its only rebound period is that after winning the Oscar, there will be a sudden surge in the box office, DVD, on-demand, and online live broadcast channels, so there is a world-famous saying that literary films are all for awards. For example, your Lan Yu, how is the box office? It's bleak, right? But it brought you the first actor trophy in your life, and your career and salary went to another peak. ”
"However, there is only one Oscar a year, so more companies choose to make commercial films. It's not that commercial film directors are bad directors, it's just that they understand better what it means to talk about literature and art with money. Moreover, commercial films have become famous, and the box office of literary films will not be too bleak. ”
"All of these need the producer to decide, what films everyone is looking forward to watching this year, whether we will shoot this book or not, when it will be released, what schedule to decide, and what kind of opponents there are...... Oh, and speaking of which, I have to admire Franco, the producer of Mystery of the Shadows, for a moment that was able to get out ten days before the World War. It's really ten days of life and death...... The World War has swept the end of that summer file, and you should have seen it...... The opponent in the same period can be said to be dead and dead. ”
"That's why foreign producers have so much power." After she finished talking, Lin Xiao listened very carefully, this is a completely different system from China, for China that is already different from the previous life, you can try, but, who will push it? This is equivalent to asking for power from the Ministry of Film, will the other party give it? Will the state nod its head?
Christina continued to Choi Young-bae and Bong Joon-ho, "Now, the peak period of production rights has passed, and it has turned into the peak period of directors' rights, but the production still has his strong deterrent, usually the producer will not go against the director, I don't know what medicine I took wrong today, because a female artist is right." ”
Lin Xiao also felt a little strange, the only thing he could guess was that Li Tairen might not know whose joint he was looking for, what promise he gave Cui Rongpei, and said that he moved the other party.
"Mr. Cui." Bong Joon-ho's face seemed to be in a pool of deep water, and he couldn't see his thoughts clearly at all, "Since you are not satisfied with the artist I chose, why don't you even change me as a director, how about you direct?" ”
"Hehe, Mr. Feng, you are serious." Cui Rongpei smiled slightly, "Actually, the choice of the artist is for you to check, but it's ......"
He glanced at Lin Xiao without a trace, "You should still pay attention to the grasp of the 'general direction'." ”
Bong Joon-ho's eyes flashed, he seemed to understand something, and he didn't say any more strangely.
"What does he think you're doing?" Lin Xiao could just see Cui Rongpei's gaze in this direction, and Christina asked curiously.
Lin Xiao was silent, and it took a few seconds before he said, "He's from the Shadow Club." And the status is probably not under the three major directors. ”
Christina whistled, "Lin, you're underestimating the movie club." ”
"The influence of this organization in South Korea is definitely beyond your imagination." She put away her smile and said seriously, "They can be said to be the most important link between the top and the lowest film and television circles, and the leaders are all the leaders in the Korean film and television industry, or they are big bosses, it can be said that the high-level and high-level leaders behind the film industry are equal to the Korean film and television industry!" ”
"The gray profits in this are making profits with the huge amount of subsidies allocated by the government, and they can't let go, this time South Korea's quota turmoil is that the government can no longer tolerate the manipulation of the film and television industry, and the United States has started to attack the film industry from the beginning, but it is found that the film industry has grown to a point where once it is moved, it may hurt the muscles and bones, and it will affect the Korean film and television industry fundamentally."
Lin Xiao nodded and didn't say anything. Cui Rongpei's words solved the mystery in his heart for him.
Yesterday, because of his excellent performance, Bong Joon-ho was shaken, he was vacillating between the interests of the Yingxing Club and the interests of the big director, but obviously, the Yingxinghui was not too relieved about him, and there was a nail in the Yingxinghui in the crew, which was reported to Cui Rongpei as soon as possible, so Choi Rongpei came here on purpose today, seemingly making things difficult for Zheng Duobin, but actually warning Bong Jun-ho.
Director Fengda, don't stretch out the olive branch, otherwise, Zheng Duobin is your role model.
dared to warn a director of a national university in public, and the strength of the film association can be seen.
This play, singing it is over here, but the most critical one is still missing.
That's to set an example for the monkeys.
Zheng Duobin is undoubtedly the chicken.
"Miss Zheng Duobin." Cui Rongpei raised his snow-white fingers and rubbed them gently, as if pinching an inconspicuous mosquito to death, "You have seriously affected the progress of the crew, I don't think you are suitable to stay in this crew." ”
"What?!" The first to scream was Lee Tae-in, who immediately jumped up and said, "Mr. Choi, this is not in line with our agreement!" ”
The audience is silent, in the Korean entertainment industry, the upper and lower levels are extremely distinct, the popular group, not the actor and queen, the king and queen, it is not uncommon to be beaten and scolded, and it can even be said that it is once in three or five days, as for Zheng Duobin, an artist who has just emerged and can barely be called half of the first-line, Cui Rongpei doesn't care at all.
"Be careful with your wording, Mr. Lee." Cui Rongpei didn't speak, and a sharp-eyed lady next to him spoke, "What agreement?" Please don't set a trap for Mr. Choi at will, or I will sue you for defamation if you don't want to meet at the Supreme Court in Seoul. Mr. Cui's identity is not comparable to the manager of SEDONA Entertainment. ”
Lee Tae-in's lips trembled, he never imagined that this would be the result!
Feeling the pressure from Lin Xiao, he opened his joints and invited Cui Rongpei with benefits, after all, Zheng Duobin was on the rise, and if he refrigerated for too long, it would be worth the loss. He needs the other party to be truly submissive to the company.
"It's really him." Lin Xiao's gaze cooled, and Lee Tae-in went to find Choi Young-bae, obviously wanting Choi Young-bae to put pressure on Bong Joon-ho and keep Jung Do-bin away from Lin Xiao. But he didn't know that what Choi Young-bae really wanted to beat was Bong Jun-ho, and he just couldn't find a reason, Lee Tae-in wanted to use the tiger to drive the wolf, who knew that he was seeking skin with the tiger.
Lin Xiao's mind had already turned his thoughts thousands of times.
If Choi Young-bae is allowed to do it now, Bong Joon-ho will definitely not make a move, anyway, just after the filming started, there is a spare Bae Doona. However, this is tantamount to watching Zheng Duobin die again.
The first time, he gave the other party a rope, and the other party struggled to wait for this opportunity, and the second time, the other party climbed in front of him and tried to reach out and hold his hand, but a pair of scissors appeared.
Her smiling face, the calm she endured in front of Li Tae-in, and the trembling hand that helped Lin Xiao take off her clothes that day......
Lin Xiao sighed, he had a hunch that if he let Zheng Duobin go this time, the next time he saw it, he was afraid it would be her famous suicide note.
He gave her hope, but withdrew his hand at the most critical time, which is more painful than killing her directly!
He secretly glanced at Zheng Duobin, only to see that the other party's body trembled slightly, and his face became snow-white.
In order to get this opportunity, she has endured it for too long, these days, every day seems to be like a year, and finally waited for this opportunity, but was interrupted by the man named Cui Rongpei in front of her.
The other party's superiority is not something she can compete with at all, even if the three major Korean actors and actresses have to give each other faces, what is she?
"What are you doing!" Christina almost screamed, and grabbed Lin Xiao's clothes, "Are you crazy?!" You're going out?! Do you think about the identity of the other party?! The Filmmakers Association is almost the same as the Screenwriters Guild and Directors Guild of the United States in South Korea! This is South Korea! This is not China! You're not a global artist yet! ”
"Save people." Lin Xiao said calmly but firmly, "Christina, what would you do if there was a person in front of you who was about to dive and was making the last hesitation?" ”
"Save people, of course!" Christina is equally determined: "As long as it is a person, he will save it!" It's human nature! If there is no such humanity, then can it still be called a person! ”
Lin Xiao stared into her eyes and said, "Now, I'm just going to be a man." ”
