Korean Movies...

It is always said that Korean films are fast because censorship has been lifted.

But looking at the world, South Korea is not the only country that has no censorship.

Not to mention the distant countries that we are not familiar with, the decline of Hong Kong and Taiwan films around us in recent years is in front of us.

Hong Kong and Taiwan movies are all classified!

So why do Korean films take the route of black and deep cripple - dark, profound, cruel...

Because there is a market, the box office is high!

In fact, before 2010, Korean films developed normally, and it can be said that a hundred flowers were blooming, "Common Security Area", "Sebi Island", "My Sassy Girlfriend", "Old Boy", "Memories of Murder", "Han River Monster" and other films, although there are also black and deep content, but they are not the mainstream of the market.

In 2010, a movie was born - "The Crucible"!

Change begins.

"The Crucible" won 5.7 million viewers, ranking among the top five of the year!

And it has won a lot of attention throughout Asia.

This one provides a new shooting idea and excavates the dark side of society, which has a market not only in Korea but also overseas!

Since then, a swarm of movies of this genre have all received good box office - "Su Yuan", "Broken Arrow", "Asura", "Flu"...

So Korean cinema began to turn, and finally reached its peak in "Parasite",

This process is actually a natural choice of the market.

No way, in the final analysis, it is because the localization market is too small, so I want to dig into overseas markets, but the taste of overseas markets is different.

That's how the country is small.

By the way, the Korean film and television dramas invested by Netflix have exploded, but the supporting roles can only get 300 dollars per episode, due to the confidentiality of Netflix's broadcast data and the buyout system, so the actors can't get follow-up benefits such as traditional media on-demand, discs, and peripheral sharing.

After the Hollywood strike, South Korea's film and television union wanted to follow suit and negotiate with Netflix, but Netflix said that I was only responsible for broadcasting, and the filming and production were all done by local companies, and if you want money, go to them!

And then a group of people were dumbfounded!

After all, Korean movies and TV dramas lack distribution channels. Without the continuous income in the later stage, the salary is low, the playback data Netflix black box is confidential, and even the search engine search volume and traffic push are all unrelated to South Korea...

……

"French films are now half-dead, even if Korean films win the three major European films, what can they do if they win the Oscar? Without enough market support, local films can't be developed at all! Therefore, we still have to make commercial films and genre films..."

After the meal was served, Shen Xudong and Han Shanping analyzed the market and came to a conclusion...

Han Shanping was happy: "Then you still shoot "The Grandmaster"..."

"Aren't I so angry with Wang Jiawei... However, my "Tang Detective" is definitely a commercial film! ”

"Is it a reference to Watson and Sherlock Holmes from Sherlock Holmes?"

"Tang Ren's image mainly refers to Maori Kogoro, which is equivalent to an intermediary for Qin Feng to take over the case, a protector who can protect Qin Feng to find clues with force value, and a role that increases movie jokes."

"Then why don't you look for Huang Bo?"

Shen Xudong glanced at Han Shanping: "... I thought you'd say why not look for a Hong Kong comedian! ”

Han Shanping shook his head: "Hong Kong comedy is not suitable for the mainland... Wang Jing can't shoot a few films! ”

This topic was stopped, and Han Shanping talked about "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" again...

It can be seen that Han Shanping does have high hopes for this movie, otherwise, he would not have come to Shen Xudong to seek a solution.

Honestly, it's a shame!

160 million eh...

If it is filmed well, it will be a model of a modern urban commercial film.

It's a pity that the shooting is too bad!

"Actually, the idea of "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" is right... We should indeed make some modern commercial blockbusters, lest the audience mention that domestic blockbusters are those costume films! ”

"I'm thinking about it at the same level...

Shen Xudong nodded, and was about to say something, when Han Shanping suddenly said, "... Are you interested in making one? ”

"Do what?"

"A modern urban commercial blockbuster!"

Shen Xudong was stunned for a moment, and thought carefully about Han Shanping's proposal: "... Pure commercial entertainment blockbuster, I haven't done it yet... It can be done! ”

"Do the kind of "Fuchun Mountain Residence Map" too?"

Shen Xudong shook his head: "I can't do it, it's very difficult to involve agents and spies!" ”

It's not Shen Xudong's hypocrisy, this theme can't be filmed now!

But if you don't involve these things, the shooting will be very empty, similar to "Counter War", "Pioneer", and "Equator", which seems to be lively on the surface, but after careful analysis, it can be fake!

Especially "Equator", the blind Ji tyranny, South Korea made up portable nuclear weapons, and then Hong Kong traded?

There is nothing wrong with Hong Kong transactions, after all, Hong Kong is the capital of espionage, but when it comes to nuclear weapons, you let the Hong Kong police track and solve it?

Well, if it is really reported to the central government, a 2-hour movie will either go from an explosive film full of gunpowder smoke to a literary drama full of intrigue, or it will directly change from 2 hours to a 10-minute short film.

Pulling it back, Han Shanping asked, "What type is that?" ”

Shen Xudong pondered for a moment, and then proposed: "Group thief films, similar to "11 Arhats"..."

"Bandits?"

"Yes, a group of thieves and treasure films, visual effects + handsome men and beautiful women, all celebrities, pile money into it, and then earn back more money..."After a pause, Shen Xudong continued: "The same is true of the "Fast and Furious" series. ”

"Bandits... It's just stealing, and this isn't easy to judge..."

Shen Xudong was a little speechless: "This doesn't work, that doesn't work, it's so difficult to make some good movies?" ”

"I mean, thieves don't make it a positive character... The leadership has just changed, and they attach great importance to movies and manage more..."

Hearing this, Shen Xudong hurriedly asked: "What about "Ghost Blowing the Lantern"?" ”

Han Shanping thought for a while, waved his hand and said: ""Ghost Blowing the Lamp" is not a big deal, after all, there is such a drama on the market..."

"No, I heard that "Notes on Tomb Robbery" is also ready to be established, and what else is "Old Nine Gates" and "Nine Dragons Vault"..."

“… Has it already been reviewed? ”

"Hmm... After all, "Ghost Blows the Lantern" made a lot of money! ”

Han Shanping lit a cigarette, smoked it, and said, "That's not easy..."

Han Dong's difficulty refers to a direct one-size-fits-all approach, not allowing the development of related themes, and it doesn't matter if you sell it or not, and whether you have feudal superstitions or not!

Why does policy like a one-size-fits-all approach?

One-size-fits-all means that it doesn't have to think too much and can be executed right away. Catering to the requirements of the people above, the speed is fast, and you execute others slower than you, even if you have merit, it can be regarded as an indirect sycophant. The people below, that is, the policy implementers, are also very happy, there are not so many fancy intestines, and it is easy to implement.

It's too troublesome to analyze the specific situation!

Middle-level implementers need to make great efforts to communicate with the upper-level formulators to discuss the trial scope and bottom line of the policy itself, and then deal with the actual situation of the low-level implementers.

This will take a long time to discuss and formulate, and the final result will not necessarily be satisfactory to the bottom of the implementation - the new policy will generally not be very satisfactory as long as it is not welfare.

It can be said that it is thankless, it is very annoying to engage in up and down, and the implementation of policies is slow. The possible policies next door have been in place for a long time, and you may just get started. The political performance is really gone, and it is really none of your business to be promoted and rich.

Shen Xudong frowned: "I heard that "Resident Evil" can be released, there is no reason why "Ghost Blows the Lantern" is not allowed to be released, right?" ”

"It's not that you don't understand, our control of movies is that the people don't hold officials accountable, once the subject matter is flooded, there will definitely be reports, and when the time comes..."

"That..."Shen Xudong was about to say something, when he suddenly thought of a movie, and immediately changed his words: "What if it's about magic?" ”
