Chapter 788: Chattering

Cannes in the early morning is very cold, especially just after rain.
Standing on the terrace of the room, Xu Fei looked at the sea and a white awning not far away, feeling very energetic. After standing for a while, he felt something was wrong, and walked into the bathroom with the pendulum, feeling very satisfied.
At the age of 35, he can still have morning erection, and whoever is contented.
I brushed my teeth and washed my face, shaved, and suddenly looked in the mirror carefully. It was on my hair sideburns. There were obviously a few white hairs...
"Hey!"
Xu Fei wanted to pull it but didn't pull it. Forget it, he is 35 years old after all.
Slowly the sun came out, and he ordered breakfast to eat on the terrace while watching the "Cannes Show". It was probably because of the heavy rain yesterday, which caused chaos and incompetent management. Many reporters complained.
After drinking the last bit of coffee, I only feel that I am in good condition.
Put on a suit and go out, leave for the appointment alone, and call a car to the hotel ten minutes away. Not in the meeting room, a large suite, and the one who opened the door was Allen from Locomotive.
"Mr. Xu, how are things going?"
"It's all good, it's nice to see you again."
He entered the house and greeted Lao Song and Yasuda, almost to the fore and aft, Xu Yingzhu also arrived, followed by a woman.
Very tall, black, long and straight, smiling pure and sweet, not smiling but very dignified, and the eyebrows have the unique taste of Korean women.
Yo!
Xu Fei blinked, maybe he knew her by himself.
"This is Miss Choi Ji Woo, a very outstanding newcomer."
"Hello there!"
"Hello there!"
Lao Song is excited, is he finally going to entertain?
He glanced at Xu Fei, tsk, was a son of man! In vain as the Son of Man!
Choi Ji-woo will be 25 years old, a young newcomer, before he played "Winter Sonata" and "Stairway to Heaven", he sat behind Seo Young-su after shaking his hands.
It's not on the side, but slightly behind.
Yasuda didn't say anything, he sometimes brought a female star to talk about things.
Allen is the host, took out a box of tea, and said with a smile: "You Orientals love to drink tea, I bought some high-end products, and you help me taste them."
"..."
Seo Young-soo winked, Choi Ji-woo hurriedly took over the work and poured water and tea.
"Oh, thanks."
Allen handed it over to her and said: "Since Berlin, Mr. Song has been communicating with me, and I have been communicating with Hardy. The result is very unhappy. Cactus still wanted to turn it into a Hollywood movie and decided to quit the project.
But Mr. Song impressed me. His Pan-Asian plan is very good. I also think the film is more suitable for the Asian market, so I invite everyone to come and talk about how to cooperate specifically. "
"Then your company..."
"We are responsible for the North American or global distribution of the film. Of course I don't hide that Locomotive does not have the ability to distribute it globally, but we will cooperate with Sony Classics to try to release it in as many countries as possible."
Seo Young-soo's eyes lit up instantly.
For Koreans, it is a victory to be released in North America!
Yasuda was also very moved.
On the surface, Columbia has been acquired by Sony, so Japanese movies are just released.
In fact, it is not. The blind release of movies without quality is to discredit oneself. And Sony has to follow Hollywood's gameplay in Hollywood.
"Then we come one by one?"
As the proponent and advocate of the project, Lao Song presided over the overall situation with his own responsibility, saying: "First of all, where the story happened, I admit that Hong Kong has insufficient geographical advantages. What do you think?"
"Of course in South Korea! I have communicated with all parties, if shooting in South Korea, I will definitely give the best shooting conditions.
Our train system is also very developed. Ten years ago, the railway mileage reached 51,000 kilometers, and there is enough depth space..."
"Japan has a Shinkansen."
"we……"
"Shinkansen."
Your sister!
Yasuda easily grabbed the conversation and said: "If it is developed, of course it is our Japanese railway system.
In addition to the world-famous Shinkansen, we also have a large number of ordinary, fast, express, limited express, and a large number of local and regional private railways.
We can take out any train we want to shoot.
There are a large number of train fans in Japan, and a culture has formed, and these are potential audiences. Not to mention, we are the second largest film market in the world! "
KO!
Seo Young-soo: ○

No way, Korean films that have just emerged and have yet to rise have the lowest voice in negotiations.
For example, this year's Cannes, "The Legend of Chunhyang" directed by Lin Quanze is the first Korean film to enter the official competition. China and Japan have already taken Palme d’Or.
Seeing Seo Young-soo's autism, Allen said, "Let this one go first, and the next item."
"The next item is special effects. Mr. Allen will help contact Hollywood's top special effects companies. In fact, the special effects level of this film is very low, mainly makeup and zombie action design.
Special effects are mostly used outside the train, that is, the exterior part. "
"can!"
"can!"
"Then go on, director, Tsui Hark."
"No!"
Yasuda took the lead: "There are also many outstanding and well-known directors in Japan, such as Takeshi Kitano, Yoji Yamada, Koki Mitani, Shohei Imamura..."
"Are you sure you want them to shoot a zombie movie?" Old Song asked back.
"Uh……"
Yasuda is embarrassed because the situation of Japanese movies is very embarrassing, and the technology tree is completely crooked.
Either go towards warmth and sentimentality, "Guide Dog Little Q", "Love Letter", "Calling for Love in the Center of the World"
Either go to the Cult, Cult, "Sewer Mermaid", "Killer Ah Yi", "Female Prisoner No.701"
Or go to the animation, "Spirited Away", "Your Name" and "My Neighbor Totoro"
Or go to the indescribable, Mikami, Angel, Hashimoto...
They also don't make purely commercial blockbusters. Just look at the box office rankings. Five of the top ten are cartoons, three are Hollywood blockbusters, and there is only one local live-action film, "Jumping Search Line 2".
Still born out of Japanese drama.
So Yasuda thought for a long time and said, "Then I recommend Shinsaku Kinji ("Battle Royale") or Kurosawa Kiyoshi ("X Sage").
"No!"
Seo Young-soo followed: "We also have many excellent directors in Korea, like Lim Kwon Taek, Lee Cangdong, Kim Ki-deok..."
He has a weak voice. Park Chan-wook and Bong Joon-ho have just made their debut, and they haven't carried the flag yet, so they can't bring out decent people.
"Are you a few art directors? Not appropriate, not appropriate."
Lao Song shook his head and continued: "As for the actors, the children are no more. There are four leading actors, the actor, the pregnant woman, the boxer, and the villain.
I think Leslie Cheung can be the male lead, and the pregnant woman will be played by Gong Li. "
"No, no, no! Since filming in Japan, naturally we have to use Japanese actors..."
"When did you decide to shoot in Japan? South Korea is absolutely fine!" Seo Young-soo fights every inch of his land.
Yasuda didn't make any sense, and said: "We can provide Yuji Oda, Takuya Kimura, Masaharu Fukuyama, Matsu Takako, Rie Miyazawa, Nanako Matsushima, Yuki Uchida, etc., all of which are the most popular actors in the country."
"No! This movie can't bring on a certain regional color. The Japanese movie style is too prominent. Not everyone likes your style.
What we have to do is to make the most of the audience adapt to the commonality! "Old Song said.
"We are the second largest market in the world!"
"But you don't represent the only market! This film will be distributed to Pan-Asia and even the world!
In Asia, is there Leslie Cheung red for Oda Yuji's rebirth? In the whole world, is Song Longzi famous and Gong Li famous? "
"..."
The momentum is pressing, and the sword is at a stretch.
Seo Young-soo repeated weakly: "In fact, there are many outstanding actors in Korea, like Choi Min-sik, Song Kang-ho, Lee Byung-hyun..."
Still nobody cares.
The passer-by protagonist Xu Fei drank tea, stayed out of the matter, and kept watching Cui Zhiyou.
Lao Song leaned back, learning from Mr. Xu's eight-pointed look: "Mr. Yasuda, let me remind you, it's not that I am looking for you to cooperate, but you are asking me to cooperate!
I didn't see any sincerity from you. Your sincerity is not as good as Representative Xu. I can also handle this project with Representative Xu. "
Hiss!
Xu Yingzhu is flattered, Yasuda frowns tightly, how can it be repaired!
He understands the role of the Koreans, he just forced himself to give in!
