Chapter 780: Closing

That night, Lao Song went to the appointment.
Drinking while touching: Don’t you say that South Korea likes to let female stars entertain guests? Where is it? Where is it?
If you ask him how he knows, he naturally heard it!
Lao Song looked around for a while, not very refreshed, I don't need it, but you can't live without it! He wanted to stretch a little, but now he stretched more and more.
The other party was close to various sets. After drinking a table, the heat was almost over, Fang said: "Yes, there is a script."
"Listen thoroughly!" Seo Young-soo lifted up.
"Before Taiwanese director Li Yu was short of funds to prepare for "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon". Mr. Xu and I invested some money. It happened that Locomotive was about to expand the distribution network and helped contact Cactus. The three of us invested together.
Although the Yankees are arrogant, they have strong business capabilities.
Recently, Mr. Xu has a new idea, but it cannot be realized on the mainland, so he can only go overseas. So we talked again, but the results were not satisfactory. "
"Can you tell me anything?"
"Uh, zombie movie!"
"Zombie film?" Xu Yingzhu was surprised.
"Yes, the concept of zombies in Hollywood, the ethical core of the East. The male protagonist is a successful financial person. The husband and wife have a broken relationship and have a daughter...
It just so happens that an American company, cough, a foreign company’s laboratory leaked, causing a certain virus to spread, and the symptom of the infection was zombieization..."
Lao Song recounted the plot and sighed: "We want to build a real business giant, but the Yankees are also very optimistic. The condition for their investment is to get the movie to be shot in Hollywood and turn it into an American story.
What a joke! "
Filled with righteous indignation, he filmed the table and said: "How can Hollywood and nauseating zombie movies compare to this? If you really want to shoot in the United States, it will be worthless!"
Seo Young-soo's brains are swiftly turning, and he keeps asking: "What's the budget?"
"At least ten million dollars! In our eyes it is a big number, but in their eyes it is just a small-cost movie."
"What about the scene, where is the scene?"
"I wanted to be in Hong Kong, but when I talked to the Yankees, they were right. Hong Kong is too small and lacks depth, which makes this story a play house game.
Hong Kong people are more accustomed to taking the subway. The train lines are underdeveloped and they can only go to the mainland for long distances, so they are politically sensitive. "
"Mr. Song!"
Seo Young-soo was so excited that she wanted to grab his arm and then retracted her hand: "Korea, you can set the scene in Korea!"
"Korea?"
"Didn't you talk about pan-Asian cooperation yesterday? What a great theme, we cooperated, pooled resources, and filmed exclusively for pan-Asian audiences! This is a win-win choice!"
"..."
Lao Song thought for a while, and said, "It can be used as a pan-Asian film project, but this matter is important, let me consider it."
…………
"The Koreans have been there?"
"Yes."
"So..."
Yasuda frowned slightly, his enthusiasm was less, but since the Koreans acted, they couldn't watch it by themselves, and chatting was nothing.
So he also made an appointment with Lao Song.
Old Song told the story again.
Needless to say, Xu Yingzhu and Yasuda have been doing foreign film business all year round.
Both people agree with the previous Pan-Asian plan. East Asia and Southeast Asia have cultural similarities. It is a reasonable strategy to jointly produce films that satisfy the regional market.
But there is no specific project, no way to start.
As a result, I came up with a script, which is still a very good Pan-Asian script. Yasuda, like Seo Young-soo, thinks the film will explode!
"The tens of millions of dollars is indeed huge, and joint investment is okay. But with all due respect, Hong Kong is small and South Korea is also small. Japan is the most suitable location!
We have deep terrain and many stations and cities along the way. Our Shinkansen is the most developed in the world! "
Yasuda was also excited and said: "The concept can be expanded. For example, the entire Asia is infected by the virus, the cause is the leak of the American laboratory!
People from all over Asia are concentrated on a train, working, visiting relatives, traveling, honeymooning, etc., all of which are struggling to survive, human nature is good and evil, Japanese society is in chaos, and the end of natural disasters..."
Sweat!
Old Song was stunned. No wonder Mr. Xu said that the Japanese, like the Americans, are willing to let all kinds of disasters in the country.
"Tokyo Sinking" Barabara.
There is also a spoof film "All Sinks Outside of Japan", which has all kinds of complaints.
He still meant that: "Let me think about it. In May, Cannes, I will go to the trading market there. If it is convenient, we will discuss it later?"
"of course can."
...
This film is naturally "Travel to Busan".
First of all, you can't do it in the mainland. If you really want to get a group of People's Liberation Army zombies, Xu always can be shot a hundred times!
So at the beginning, the target was the pan-Asian market.
The original "Travel to Busan" cost less than 9 million U.S. dollars, and the global box office reached 99 million U.S. dollars, breaking records in South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan and other places, while North America only had 1.6 million.
Why pull Japan and South Korea?
Japan is the second largest movie market today, and South Korea can also. With the participation of the two of them, it is much easier to enter the Congress.
Historically, "Travel to Busan" was released in South Korea in July 2016 and only entered Japan in September 2017, which led to the poor record of this large ticket warehouse.
Because of Japan's protection policies, foreign blockbuster films have to be delayed for a long time. South Korea is similar.
So it must become a co-production film, and it is not enough to take the initiative to mention it. They have to find the door by themselves...
The environment of the times is different, it must be changed, how to change the key.
Where to put the scene, which actors are used, what proportion of actors from different places, who is the protagonist, who is the director, who is the good guy, who is the bad guy, etc...
Berlin will show its face first, and Cannes will discuss it in detail, taking the lead in this wave of operations and expanding its international influence.
This is the purpose of Xu Zonglai.
…………
As the curtain closed, a piece of news broke out on a domestic website.
"The domestically produced film Berlin shines, and Hollywood buys the rights to the remake of "Fifty First Love"!"
"One piece is sold to the three countries, followed by Japanese and Korean companies!"
"Hollywood celebrity directors favor it, or ask Leonardo to star."
Huh!
The four characters to win glory for the country are firmly attached to the head of the world.
The domestic friends were shocked. When it came out last year, it was just bragging, but you really sold it? Three more were sold!
Even more annoying:
"The copyright gains tens of millions of yuan, and the world's bosses bluntly expressed the friendly price to make friends."
Get rid of your grandma's turtle grandson!
In a series of strong fluctuations, the Berlin Film Festival ushered in the closing ceremony.
On the evening of the 20th local time, it was the early morning of the 21st in Beijing.
In the movie palace, those who weren't invited left a long time ago, and those who were left know that they must have won the prize.
Zhang Ziyi changed into a dress again, with a pure white flower temperament, but her heart was turned upside down. In the past ten days, Berlin has had a greater impact on her than in the previous twenty years.
It turns out that big stars can really be so popular, like Gong Li, standing in the limelight.
She suddenly remembered what Mr. Xu said when she was at the airport: "Keep strong and sharp, ambitious and high..."
Inexplicably feels very suitable for me.
On the other side, Mr. Xu is also gossiping. Historically, "My Father and Mother" won the jury award, and the international chapter followed Director Zhang on stage...
The current public opinion is: "Being on stage without authorization, Zhang Yimou yelled at him, and all his ambitions were written on his face."
But eating melons needs to be professional, not just like others.
There were indeed reports back then, but it was not so strong at all, because the entertainment industry was underdeveloped in 2000. The so-called black history is the re-examination of old things after the Internet boom, adding fuel to it.
The International Chapter clarified, "I was wronged by the organizer. I also communicated with Director Zhang. He told me that the work is the most important..."
The truth is unknown.
Xu Fei didn't plan to manage, so he read on stage: "Congratulations to "My Father and Mother" for winning the jury award!"
"Wow!"
In the applause, Zhang Guoshi got up, Zhang Ziyi also got up, she went up!
In an instant, all the scenes on the scene focused on this little girl, crackling and shining...
(and also!)
