Chapter 839: Knowing You Better
The café at the Lotte Hotel usually closes at half past eleven, but today they have not started the cleaning work for a long time. The two of them were in the corner talking about something important. Originally, on such a happy day, there would definitely be a second half, but seeing that Li Jingming still had to be, everyone did not forcibly leave him behind, and Liu Zaishi took the lead in organizing people who were close enough to fight again.
"Jimmy, to be honest, I knew you well before I came, but it was only when I got to your territory that I understood what a real rich person is." David. When Finch was in the United States, he always regarded Li Jingming as a close friend and worthy of friendship, but after coming to South Korea, when he sat in the car and was introduced by the driver, he realized that Li Jingming was no different from the big capitalists who invested in his films, "It is said that this area belongs to your family, and looking at these buildings and parks, it is really an amazing wealth." ”
"You're wrong Finch, this belongs to my mother's family, and it will belong to my cousins, not me." Li Jingming waved his hand, if he wanted to, he could get these things, but what was the point of taking them? The entire center of Jamsil belongs to the Lotte Group, and in addition to several residential communities, Lotte World, the world's largest indoor amusement park, the five-star Lotte Hotel, and a new landmark under construction, Lotte World Mall, are all symbols of wealth, but they are not of much help to Lee Kyung-myung, "Don't beat the corner, although this is South Korea, we can still communicate in an American way, right?" ”
"Then I'll open the skylight and say something, this time I came because of Sony's commission, they found a bit about your change of script, and wanted me to make a movie." David. Finch directly took out the script, which was originally a violation of confidentiality regulations, and no matter how Li Jingming was also a colleague. But this in itself is a re-interpretation of Li Jingming's life, and it is only appropriate to give him a personal look.
"It's not about me, it's just a screenplay for a novel." Li Jingming sneered, he also knew that the book was selling well in the United States, but it was just borrowing his name to make money. Even the autobiography written by Li Jingming himself cannot be said to be a true portrayal of himself, let alone made up by others, and there are countless distorted facts, Li Jingming didn't want to help the other party become famous, so he didn't go to court.
"Jimmy, I know there's got to be something in there that makes you unhappy, but it's you after all. If you really have something dissatisfied, you may wish to communicate with me, I really want to make this movie, the world lacks an understanding of you, including me. "David. Fincher said very sincerely, he really wanted to make this movie, not for the box office and topics, but just to let the world know more about Li Jingming. Li Jingming and David. Finch's philosophy is similar, and that's what makes him tempted, if money can move him. He won't push away so many good works that must be earned, but wait for Sony.
Li Jingming shook his head slowly, to say that he was not tempted must be fake, Li Jingming really needs to let the world know more about him, but he doesn't think that this kind of movie similar to a biopic is actually a feature film can be of any help. A bad one will also deepen the misunderstanding of others, "Finch, you should know my own personality, if it's really about me." I won't leave it to anyone else, and besides, what do I have to know? ”
"Jimmy, there's something in you that transcends human nature. Your dedication and dedication should be seen by more people, and the biggest difference between you and those hypocrites is that you yourself are never willing to show it to others. "David. Finch has seen the real faces of those Hollywood celebrities, so he is so optimistic about the young Li Jingming, "The movie doesn't have to be real, but what is conveyed must be correct." ”
"Okay, you said you moved me Finch, and I'll give you the necessary help." In fact, Li Jingming is still a little uncomfortable in his heart, although they say no, but the audience knows that this is the story about him, and he is not very comfortable thinking that there will be such a person to play him on the screen in the future. It's not that Li Jingming didn't want to play himself in person, but it is really not suitable to play himself, and his schedule in 2010 has already been filled.
David. Finch is very relieved that this trip has finally not run in vain, and with Li Jingming's participation, he is very confident to create a real classic that belongs to him. David. Fincher's strength is very strong, and the movies he makes have always been applauded and acclaimed, but because of his unique vision and straightforward criticism of reality, he has not been recognized by the mainstream award selection committee, especially the Academy Awards, and has always refused to look at him squarely, "Okay, I can finally enjoy a real vacation, if you have time, please take our family to enjoy the scenery here, and by the way, you can communicate more." ”
Li Jingming went back to the top floor to sort out his thoughts, just like David. As Fincher said, it doesn't matter if a movie doesn't seem to tell a true story, the key is whether the message is correct. Originally, Li Jingming was not interested in that kind of novel, and in his eyes, it was similar to Krystal writing "Two or Three Things About My Sister and Li Jingming", but at this time, he had to watch it for the sake of the movie. Li Jingming is not afraid to show himself in front of the world, because he has already done this, but this cannot be done without any preparation, he must put on makeup before going on stage, and he must also adjust his state before he is in the limelight, "John, are you in Boston or Los Angeles?" Well, let's go to New York once in these two days......"
After explaining the things at work, Li Jingming felt a huge sense of emptiness coming to him, not long ago it was a grand banquet, but in the blink of an eye, he was the only one in the house, and dialed Jessica, "Why do you leave me here alone, don't stay here and wait for me?" ”
"Where do I dare to stay there, now all the reporters in Seoul know about David. Finch came to play with you, and they were all lying in ambush waiting to be photographed, and if I didn't go back to the dorm, we would both make headlines tomorrow. "It's not that Jessica doesn't want to stay, but she doesn't dare to stay, and besides, now is not the time to shoot "Queen Seondeok", Lee Jingming is in Seoul, she doesn't care about this day or two, and it is better to stay at home together than to stay in a hotel.
David. Finch is a real big man in the film industry, and he is far from Christopher in terms of prestige, connections, power, etc. In the second half of the 80s and the early 90s, he met a large number of Hollywood bigwigs through music videos and TV commercials, and in the late 90s, he established his own status as a big name with his unique film language, and "The Seven Deadly Sins" and "Fight Club" have been regarded as classics by countless young people until now. Such a big man came to Li Jingming to visit the door, which is a big deal for the entire Korean entertainment industry, Li Jingming has been messing around in South Korea for a long time, so that many people forget that Hollywood is his home field, and now David. Finch's arrival made the outside world look forward to and anxious, and didn't know what he wanted to do.
Song Seok-jae is now two years old, and last night after the celebration came to the second one, and he didn't sleep until half past four in the morning, but he was forced to go back to work before seven o'clock, and his mobile phone was about to be blown up by those who knew him, and the company's phone was constantly harassed by reporters. Song Shizai has always admired Li Jingming's ability to "make wind and rain", it seems that he is uncomfortable if he doesn't make headlines, and he has to make something big every time, "Lord, it's not that I don't understand you, if you don't develop a conference, you can't pass this hurdle, we will only be hated if we try our best to stop it, you have such a good relationship with others, how about arranging a small press conference, is it possible to be taken away by the big bad wolf?" ”
"Anyway, people are also here for vacation, and it's not appropriate for us to trouble each other in our affairs." Li Jingming shook his head, business is business, friends are friends, if it is because of the development of his side, he will not be polite to his friends, but David. Finch and he weren't friends.
"Jimmy, I'm here to meet friends and travel, and I'm not here to do anything shady, if you want, I'll hold a press conference in the afternoon, I'd love to see how different you Korean journalists are." David. Finch was by Li Jingming's side, and when he heard their conversation, he immediately helped him out, it was not troublesome for him to just say a few words, it was the most important thing to be able to sell Li Jingming a good one, and the closer the relationship between him and Li Jingming, the more conducive to the filming of his later movie.
"I'm so embarrassed." Li Jingming smiled, if he didn't want the other party to help, how could he stand next to him and pick up the phone, some things were tacitly understood.
Li Jingming: Hello, hello, everyone, not only reached the initial intention of cooperation, but also earned enough attention, and even showed a big face with the "Korean Power Concert" in preparation, but some people are not so happy, such as Rain. Now the hot wind of the Korean Wave is blowing everywhere, and there are also those in the United States who are interested in this, such as the "Ninja Assassin" that Warner Bros. found Rain to shoot in order to borrow the Korean Wave in an attempt to open up the Asian market. The idea is good, but unfortunately the result is not so satisfactory, there is Li Jingming stirring up the storm at the end of the year, others don't remember which one Rain is at all, the Korean market is already small, and now it is still so lukewarm, and the attendance rate can be imagined.
South Koreans are indeed narrow-minded, ethnic, strict, and local protectionism is prevalent, and they don't want to show their faces outside all the time, and they especially like to tout "international superstars", but this is also a sub-target, where is there any need for Lee Jingming to tout others? Looking at the attendance statistics sent over again, Rain was so angry that he smashed the things on the desk, "It's just too much, can the chaebol II not talk about the rules at all?" (To be continued......)
