tearjerker director

In fact, it was Li Yi.

Co-productions, especially co-productions with official endorsement, definitely have a unique advantage in publicity and distribution.

For example, this time "Happy Family" has almost no decent opponents in the same period when it is released. Is it really because Li Yiwei is so famous that other directors are afraid to release new films at the same time?

the answer is negative!

Today's Huaguo's film market is no longer the era when a schedule can only accommodate one movie outbreak.

Moreover, although "Happy Family" did make many people jealous at the time because of the exchange meeting and co-production of the film, plus Li Yi's own name, it did not mean that they really had to back away.

The key lies in the full support of Huaying Group and the official endorsement, which is actually an unspoken rule.

Therefore, Li Yi is not interested, and it is only because he really does not need such resources so much now, but for directors and film and television companies in China and even Bangzi, they have long been full of expectations for getting a quota.

Because once you get the quota for the works of the cultural exchange meeting, you will naturally have an advantage over other films.

"So you really don't want to give the big leaders face?" Mu Qing was still a little worried, because the domestic environment is different from that abroad.

Hollywood directors can be willful not to be a big brother, but in China, they definitely can't.

Although there is news that next year's cultural exchange meeting will continue to be upgraded, it is still unknown to what extent it will reach, but it must be higher than this year's standard.

"It's not that I don't give face, it's that it's hard for a smart woman to cook without rice! Co-productions are notoriously difficult to deal with, and unlike this year, next year is destined to have countless big directors eyeing this opportunity. If there is me or not, in fact It doesn't have much impact." Li Yi said lightly.

The fact is the same, in the domestic film and television industry, who would not want to curry favor with the big leaders of the cultural department?
What's more, besides Li Yi, there are only three or two kittens this year, and it will definitely not continue to exist.

Because when some things are not valued, it’s okay to be so bad, but once they are paid attention to and valued, if they can’t be done well, it’s better not to do them.

Therefore, Li Yi can imagine that there are definitely many big directors making moves, and you are not even qualified for ordinary small directors.

It's just that what Li Yi didn't expect was that the film about the cultural exchange meeting would be fired so much.

First of all, director An Zhengxu, who is known as the No.1 director of Bangzi, announced that he will adapt "Love in Seoul", one of the achievements of the previous Sino-Korean cultural exchange meeting.

On Bangzi’s side, there have actually been several great directors over the years, and this Ahn Jae-wook is one of them.

Hollywood Academy Award for Best Director, winner of the Palme d'Or.

It can be said that An Jae-wook is definitely one of the best big names in the film industry on Bangzi's side.

The work "Love in Seoul" was indeed a best-selling work during the China-Korea Cultural Exchange Conference in the early years. It tells the transnational love between a student from Huaguo and a college student from Bangzi.

This work was quite popular in China at the time.

Of course, this novel is not the key point. The key point is that the director Ahn Jae-wook did surprise many people.

However, if you think about it carefully, it makes sense. In fact, the directors on the Bangzi side have always been eager to enter the Huaguo market, but it is a pity that it has been difficult for them to find a way in the past. Even if it is found, most of the time it is not acclimatized.

The release of a movie is not just about seeing whether the story suits the audience's appetite. Similarly, the timing and announcement of the release are also crucial.

If it can't be released at the same time, then domestic pirated versions will definitely fly all over the sky, and no matter how good the movie is, you won't be able to sell seats.

An Jae-wook is quite famous. After all, he is the winner of the Academy Award for Best Director. In China, apart from Li Yi, there are really not many people who can compare with An Jae-wook.

However, this is just the beginning.

Perhaps because he knew that this opportunity was rare, so soon, another great director spoke out on Bangzi's side.

Bangzi's top director, Park Cangdong, although he is not as brilliant as Ahn Jae-wook, he can be regarded as a great international director of Bangzi.

The difference is that Ahn Jae-wook is not limited to literary films, but Park Cang-dong has been committed to making Bangzi's own films before this, and has blazed his own literary path.

Although he failed many times at the Academy Awards, he is a frequent visitor to the top three in Europe.

What's interesting is that this time he didn't direct alone this time. Instead, he recruited Luo Teng, a well-known director from Huaguo, and planned to create a cross-border family-seeking film.

The name of the movie is "Crossing the River"!
Immediately, the name of the China-Korea Cultural Exchange Conference became popular.

In fact, this kind of exchange meeting depends on the influence, and the key is to look at the works.

But this time, the two top directors on the Bangzi side have shot, but there is only one Luo Teng on the domestic side.

For this reason, on the Internet, many netizens started shouting.

"Exchange meeting, exchange meeting, what kind of exchange meeting is a director and project with only Bangzi?"

"Isn't there still director Luo Teng?"

"There are so many big directors in the country, soldiers against soldiers, generals against generals, let's get it going!"

"That's right, don't be cowardly and just do it! If you can't do it, there is a dog director to back it up, so just do it!"

"By the way, where's Director Dog? You won't just stop like this, right?"

"."

Unknowingly, the China-Korea Cultural Exchange Conference became popular on the Internet because of these things.

Even more, because there has been no major domestic director to speak out, this topic has intensified.

Different from the Korean wave invasion in the past, the self-confidence of the people in China today is not to mention bursting, but at least, the little stick is really not regarded as a strong opponent.

Because of this, this so-called exchange meeting, co-production, etc., have instead become a battlefield where netizens want to prove that we are already much better than them.

Not to mention anything else, in the early years you said that you were a fan of so-and-so Oppa, maybe no one would think there was any problem, but in this era, if you say that again, you will definitely get a contemptuous look in response.

Hallyu has not disappeared in the domestic market, but at least, it can almost be said that it has no status.

At this time, Li Yi is still sitting firmly on the Diaoyutai, mainly because, as an insider, he knows it too well. If there is no one behind the scenes to fuel the flames, Li Yi would not believe it if he was killed.

Of course, the advantage of doing this is obvious, that is, the film has entered the public's attention before the shooting has started, and as the popularity of the topic increases, the topic heat and exposure of these movies will also increase.

On the domestic side, as far as Li Yi knew, senior brother Tang Lu had already sharpened his sword.

What he said earlier has indeed been verified.

Soon, on the domestic side, Time Light and Shadow announced that it will cooperate with CKD Entertainment Media on the Bangzi side, and the Chinese-Korean co-production "Bounty Hunter" directed by the famous domestic director Tang Lu has been approved.

It has just been announced here, and Ahn Jae-wook's project "Love in Seoul" has announced the role candidate.

The male protagonist is the hottest Cannes actor Li Zhengshuo at Bangzi at the moment, paired with Huaguo's popular actress Jiang Zi.

In fact, this kind of routine can't be said to be more common in Chinese-Korean co-productions.

However, most of the co-productions in the past were popular male stars from Bangzi paired with Chinese female stars. The goal was very clear, relying on the super popularity of male stars in China to attract a large number of fans!
But obviously Ahn Jae-wook is not stupid, those popular male stars now have fans in Huaguo, but they are completely different from the era when the Korean wave invaded.

So, this time, they sacrificed a new magic weapon.

Li Zhengshuo is not that kind of idol star, but is indeed a powerful actor. Not only that, he also won the Best Actor in Cannes, and his status and influence are quite good.

Although Jiang Zi does not have the title of actress in China, she is one of the most popular stars among the newly-emerged [-]-year-old Huadan in recent years.

In fact, it is the other way around.

And the domestic side is not to be outdone, followed by the domestic film and television giant Kyushu Film and Television invited Xue Kaishan, one of the four old famous directors, Xue Kaishan did the opposite, or rather, it was a bit tit-for-tat.

What he wants to adapt is a real case on Bangzi's side, "Idol Murder Incident"!
This incident can be said to be a sensation in the past, and the key point is that this incident revealed the darkest unspoken rules of the entertainment circle on Bangzi.

After the news came out, Ahn Jae-wook's "Love in Seoul" was overshadowed in an instant!
After all, the celebrity killing incident of Bangzi back then was inherently confusing. Netizens jokingly said that novels dare not write like that.

And this kind of event itself has a huge fan base.

For a while, the netizens went crazy with joy.

"That's right! Tsk tsk "The Idol Murder Incident" is indeed a great director, probably only a top director like Xue Kaishan dares to make a movie with this kind of theme, right?"

"Who said it wasn't? It is said that there was a director on Bangzi who wanted to adapt this matter, but in the end it was nothing."

""The Idol Murder Incident" reveals that it involves the chaebols on their side, if it can be filmed, there will be ghosts!"

"Director Xue is amazing. At this time, he's making such a movie, so it's hard for Bangzi to refuse, right? Haha!"

"It's finally a little more reliable! It's no longer exposing the black material on our own side, but on Bangzi's side!"

All of a sudden, Xue Kaishan and "Idol Murder Incident" became popular, and those restricted-rated photos that had been disclosed in the past were circulated on the Internet again.

At the same time, it also gave this new film a huge exposure!
Li Yile was relaxed.

After all, the five major directors have all shot together, and four co-produced movies will definitely not fit in one schedule.

He doesn't need to join in the fun anymore.

In fact, Zhao Guangming did not harass Li Yi this time.

However, the topic of co-production (confrontation) between China and South Korea remains high.

The project has been finalized, and it can be regarded as a 2V2 situation.

Then naturally, everyone will also discuss the issue of winning or losing.

Judging from the cost of the film, Bangzi is much weaker than the two domestic projects.

After all, "Love in Seoul" is just a romantic movie. Except for the actors' remuneration, the rest of this kind of movie is actually not that high.

On the contrary, "Crossing the River" because the timeline of the movie runs through decades, so the cost must be higher.

But compared to an urban gunfight action movie like "Bounty Hunter", it must still be a lot worse.

And the other one is the project "Idol Murder Incident". In fact, the cost is not too high, but because of the particularity of this project, the popularity is the highest.

In fact, it is impossible for both parties to actually shoot any super big production, after all, there is too little time.

I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, well, it must be intentional.

The four films have just announced their approval, and the schedule has almost been set.

The four movies are almost divided into two-two duels, and they are released in two schedules.

"Wang Zang is in your hand, how can you lose?"

"That's right, "The Idol Murder Incident" I remember being surprised when I first saw the news!"

"The cast of "Bounty Hunter" is the biggest, but director Tang Lu doesn't seem to have directed this kind of film before, why does it feel a bit suspenseful?"

"Anyway, I must win this time, but it would be really embarrassing if I lost!"

Yes, most of the netizens were very optimistic at the beginning. After all, it is obvious that the projects of domestic directors naturally have geographical advantages.

Although it is a co-production film, although it will be screened in both countries at the same time, the main market, needless to say, must be the mainland of China.

But some netizens also proposed, what if they lose?Losing under the premise of such a huge advantage, then
But this voice is always only a small part.

But this time, the two great directors of Bangzi, Ahn Jae-wook and Park Cang-dong, both showed weakness when they were interviewed by the media.

This makes netizens feel more and more that the victory is certain.

After all, the domestic lineup is not weak at all.

Tang Lu is also an internationally award-winning director, and Xue Kaishan doesn't need to say more, even though he hasn't released a new work for a long time, but after all, Jiang is still old and spicy. As one of the four veteran directors of Huaguo, Xue Kaishan's influence is still top-notch.

time flies.

After Li Yi's "Happy Family", although Zhao Guangming said hello, he has no plans to continue making co-productions.

And when Tang Lu and Xue Kaishan shot together, Zhao Guangming was also full of confidence, and naturally he didn't try to grab Li Yi's wool again.

The news and topics surrounding the four films have never stopped since the establishment of the four projects.

It can be said that in terms of building momentum, it is definitely leveraged!

Even Li Yi and a group of old friends mentioned these four films when they were chatting.

"Who do you think will win this time?" Chen Wen looked at Li Yi and asked.

Everyone's eyes were also on Li Yi.

Li Yi paused for a moment, then shrugged and said, "I don't know what their movies are like, who knows who will come out on top?"

"I feel that Director Xue's "Idol Murder Incident" has a great advantage!" Zhou Guo said.

"That's not necessarily the case. Director Xue's strength is very strong, but his usual style is that he likes to carry private goods. If he really plays like this, it's hard to say!"
