Chapter 26 Return to China (3/5)
Li Yongguan is the current chairman of the Busan Film Festival and has an official background.
This guy was very unlucky. During his tenure as chairman, he encountered filmmakers collectively protesting against the incident of Busan's political axe interfering in the movie!
It should be two years later that the Busan Film Festival was opposed by the Busan Municipal Government for the release of the documentary "Diverage Clock" of the "Year Issue" of the "Diverageous Death Incident" and the government has been in constant friction with the government, and the new rules and reviews of the film festival were also forcibly interfered by the Busan District Court.
"Diver Bell" is a pseudo-documentary with the theme of the "Year Issue" tragedy, recording the stories that took place within half a month of the search and rescue work, deciphering the shocking facts and tragedy that could not be conveyed at the time, especially exposing the corruption problem in South Korea.
Yes, it is a common realistic theme in South Korea. This film is not only made, but will also be released at the Busan International Film Festival.
So, the Busan Municipal Government exploded: they asked the film to cancel the release on the grounds that the film may cause political controversy, but the other party refused to ask on the grounds that the film was safeguarding the freedom of artistic expression and the independence of the film festival, while the film festival insisted on the screening under pressure.
The movie was released, which caused a stir. The Busan Festival, which was always supported and funded by the Busan Municipal Government, the film industry, the business community and other departments, was cut in half. The South Korean Supervisory Office also implemented special supervision of the Busan International Film Festival.
Afterwards, Li Yongguan was forced to step down...
Then, nine major film groups boycott the Busan Film Festival and protested the Busan Municipal Government's interference in the independence of the film festival...
It’s unimaginable to be in the Heavenly Kingdom!
...
Zhang Junsheng walked to the front of the stage with the trophy and sighed a little emotion: "Thank you for presenting this award to me in the conference. This is a team honor. I hope to share it with the company's staff, every director, and behind-the-scenes staff who have participated. Although they did not stand here like me to get everyone's applause, I applaud you for your efforts on the stage. Thank you!"
Just sat down and was about to eat an octopus, Chen Yu, who was sitting next to him, suddenly spoke: "You were staring at Lee Byung-hun just now, wanting to make a movie with him?"
Zhang Junsheng nodded: "I do have this idea, but I have to wait for a few years."
“…Photograph the Korean War?”
"I'll go, are you the roundworm in my belly?"
Chen Yu curled his lips: "When you were in school, you often watched "The Great Decisive Battle" and were particularly concerned about the Korean War. Everyone knows that you are interested in this history!"
“… Interested is one aspect. Whether you can take pictures or not is important from what perspective it is to tell it!”
Added: "After all, it involves North Korea. If they protest, the movie will definitely not be able to be filmed."
"…This is a problem, and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not easy to deal with..."
Chen Yu nodded.
This is also the main reason why there are few film and television projects that have been collected from the Korean War. China Film does not believe in evil and has compiled a movie called "My War", which has a huge loss in reputation and box office!
From our point of view, the Korean War is called resisting the United States and aiding Korea;
From North Korea's standpoint, it is called "South Korea invasion of North Korea...". There is no mention of the Chinese People's Volunteer Army in history books at all, and there is no word!
Of course, Zhang Junsheng is on our side, so North Korea will definitely protest—“My War” is almost protested…
According to the process, the next step is to talk about Asian movies by the Three Kingdoms filmmakers...
Lao Touzi and Zhang Junsheng went on stage together, and there were Korean actors and Japanese actors sitting next to him...
The organizer probably knows that the Sino-Japanese relations between the "Diaoyu Islands" have been very tense recently, so the questions asked are all about the impression of the Busan Film Festival and suggestions for young filmmakers...
All are some soup...
This is also the dilemma of the Busan Film Festival. It is difficult for them to invite great directors. Unlike our Shanghai Film Festival, Cameron and Spielberg are always there...
"Do you guys have any plans next?"
Lee Byung-hun replied: "My work focus is still in Hollywood, and I have taken on three movies..."
The audience was surprised by the media and the audience.
South Korea has a natural admiration for the good Americans. Not to mention the protagonist, even if you look at the face, you can also provoke the G-spot...
Forget it, domestic actors are the same...
"Where is Mr. Zhang Yimou?"
"…I? Let's continue making a movie, I have many projects..."
"Mr. Zhang Junsheng? What are your plans next?"
"Of course it's filming..."
...
Park Bo Young is really short, but his legs are quite long.
This is probably the biggest feeling of Zhang Junsen's trip to Busan. By the way, there is another point that the so-called Korean food is really not very good...
Especially for octopus, they cut the octopus tentacles into small pieces and put them in their mouths with sesame oil and sesame seeds. You will find that it still slides in the throat, but because its tentacles are very beneficial, it can easily suffocate...
The Korean Embassy in China launched the "Korean on the Tip of the Tongue" series on Weibo, showing Korean food in pictures and texts, and then was criticized by people...
What are some good introductions to military hotpot?
Meat and vegetables with kimchi, instant noodles...
Have some instant noodles, are you so happy?
As for commercial projects, Tang Ningyu was responsible for following up. Yuehua established a cooperative relationship with Xijie Media, and simultaneously operated "Strange Her" and "Thieves Alliance". "Thieves Alliance" put the background on the sea. Yuehua arranged Wang Bo, Liu Sisi and Yuan Hong to be responsible for the performance. He was full of sincerity...
By the way, many TV series produced by Yuehua were also sold to Xijie Entertainment at a low price - they have a TV station...
In fact, it cannot be considered a low price, with a single episode exceeding 20,000 yuan!
The export volume of Chinese TV series is relatively small. Generally, it is sold overseas when it is distributed overseas. If you want a high price, people are unwilling to give it to it. Every country has its own TV series market. If you want to enter Chinese TV series, you can basically only have low prices...
Moreover, many countries have local protectionism. For example, South Korea has clear regulations on the three major stations that films and TV series, including programs, broadcast during prime time, must be Koreans. Back then, because they were foreigners, they could not appear on TV stations, so they had to wear masks when dancing.
There are not so many requirements for the United States...
Xijie Entertainment has two major cable TV stations under OCN and South Korea's China TV. Among them, China TV is a satellite TV station that specializes in broadcasting Chinese news and TV series, with relatively low ratings...
There is no way. According to the Korean Relaxation Law, even cable TV stations can only broadcast foreign TV series in the early morning!
Original Time Netflix bought a lot of Chinese TV series to serve the Chinese group in North America and Europe...
Of course, many small countries, such as Africa, do not have their own TV industry at all, so what should I do?
Their film dealers are like picking up leftovers every year, and they buy some things at a low price, go back and make some hard money, and they can barely live.
If you want to count exports, Yuehua’s TV series last year was exported to 75 countries around the world!
Of course, most of them are sold and given away half-sales, and they didn’t make any money at all, but it was enough to use it to fool people - the company’s financial report is very good!
On the first day of Zhang Junsheng's return to China, he received a call from Da Mi Mi.
Chapter completed!
