Chapter 285 This world is so crazy! The top leaders are all stupid!
“Director Han, it’s nothing, it’s just a reality-themed film. It’s a bit dark.”
“Why is it so dark? How can we deny you a review? You You, is this a project that you said you would cooperate with CJ Entertainment before? "
During the Chinese New Year, Director Han was originally enjoying himself this year, but then the online public opinion became more and more explosive.
When the superior department asked Han Sanpin, Han Sanpin's mind was filled with question marks.
After checking the specific situation, Han Sanpin felt uncomfortable.
"The project is indeed in cooperation with CJ Entertainment, and Bong Joon-ho also decided on it when he was in Cannes."
Guan Ling answered truthfully.
"I was also in Cannes at the time, and I didn't think much about it when you two were chatting. Otherwise, we would have had to see if China Film Group could get involved."
Han Sanpin I regret it a bit.
Guan Ling seemed to hear Han Sanpin's regret and said with relief.
“Although this movie has caused serious controversy in South Korea, Director Han, this movie is really controversial in China. As long as this kind of movie can be released in China, do you think I have to sacrifice the near and the far away?”< br>
"That's true. Send me the script."
Han Sanpin was silent for a while and didn't say anything more on this issue.
Guan Ling has been a director for so many years, and he is still clear about the bottom line. Since Guan Ling has said so, Han Sanpin naturally understands that he will probably not be able to get into it in China.
But the curiosity in his heart still made him couldn't help but ask for the script.
"No, there is a copy." Guan Ling said, "Although I am not a distributor, I have talked with CJ Entertainment. If this movie cannot be released in the mainland, it can be used as a learning material on campus or in lectures. . It’s up to you to determine the details.
CJ Entertainment definitely hopes that the movie can be released in China.
But I think it’s doubtful, but the copy must still be reviewed by you. I will do it now. Arrange for someone to be sent to China Film Academy.”
“Are you prepared for this?”
On the other end of the phone, Han Sanpin smiled half-heartedly.
"This movie is the best if it can be screened. If it can't be screened, I have no complaints." Guan Ling said, "Of course, it would be best if Director Han can mediate in the middle."
"I will try it tomorrow."
Guan Ling's words made Han Sanpin become serious.
My expectations for this movie are even higher.
......
In the media, the miracles created by Guan Ling are still sweeping the domestic entertainment industry.
“Cultural export? Movies written by Guan Ling have seen explosive growth in the number of moviegoers screened in Korea. Many movie fans have asked relevant Korean film departments to introduce more movies written or directed by Guan Ling.”
< br>"Dark movie? Our reporter in South Korea claimed that "The Crucible" is a restricted crime movie. Under the current situation, the chance of being released in China is zero."
"Guan Ling detonated the Korean entertainment industry. According to Korean reports, Guan Ling has become the most familiar Chinese director to Koreans.”
"Tang Wei won a Korean award for his acting skills. After "Lust, Caution", Tang Wei added another highlight to his resume!"
"The box office of "The Wind" has become the biggest winner in the Lunar New Year festival. It has been released for only half a month, and the box office has reached 3.4 100 million, if Chen Guofu comes out again after many years, could the box office hit the 500 million mark?"
"Guan Ling returned to the crew of "Father" and refused to be interviewed by us."< br>
……
And that side.
Zhang Yimou also went to the 60th Berlin International Film Festival with his "Three Guns".
In fact, during this period, Guan Ling's popularity was not something that Zhang Yimou could touch.
So this time at the Berlin Film Festival, although there is Zhang Yimou in China, Wang Quan'an has been shortlisted for Berlin's main competition unit.
But it didn’t actually cause huge waves.
Even Wang Quanan's "Reunion", which took advantage of the Chinese Lunar New Year and was selected as the opening film of the Berlin International Film Festival, was still not too popular.
After all, the entire industry has been intrigued by Guan Ling.
But as Guan Ling returns to the filming of "Father", news about Zhang Yimou and others has become a top priority in the entertainment industry.
The first news that surpassed Guan Ling's popularity was that although Zhang Yimou's "Three Guns" has been revised, there are many discrepancies with China's released version. Many two-person scenes are missing and the lines have been reduced. At the same time, Some of the playful style has also been toned down.
Zhang Yimou claimed that the authentic language humor could not be conveyed to overseas audiences, so it had to be modified in this way.
But it still set a record at this Berlin Film Festival.
“The Berlinale Film Festival’s comprehensive score is the lowest among all competition films at the festival!”
The emergence of this news immediately made netizens continue to express their concern. Ling's awesomeness.
“Some people caused unrest in South Korea, and some people had the lowest ratings in Germany.”
“I just said, "Three Guns" is not only a bad movie, but it is also a movie he made specifically for It’s a bad movie prepared for our audience during the New Year’s Eve, and it’s covered in red silk and is full of joy!”
Zhang Yimou was also very helpless about the cold reception he received in Berlin.
When a reporter asked him about his purpose in making this movie, Zhang Yimou claimed that it was just an attempt.
“I have been making movies for more than 20 years, and they are basically serious, so I really want to try new genres. Of course, trying is risky, and sometimes the audience may not accept it right away,”
Facing the future artistic path, Zhang Yimou said that he will be down-to-earth and make movies one by one.
If the plan goes well, "Love at the Hawthorn Tree" will be filmed in the spring, and "The Thirteen Beauties of Jinling" will be filmed in the fall and winter.
When asked whether Zhang Yimou had paid attention to Guan Ling’s news recently, Zhang Yimou’s expression was still very stable.
“I know that the movies directed by Guan Ling have not been released recently, but I haven’t paid much attention to the others.”
“The Wind” directed by Zhang, screenwriter by Guan Ling, and directed by Chen Guofu, was recently released It has already been released, and the box office has exceeded 350 million in half a month, which is nearly twice the box office of "Three Guns". "
"Huh?"
Zhang Yimou turned his head.
My mind suddenly became a mess.
Yanni nodded to Zhang Yimou. Sun Honglei, wearing sunglasses like a gangster, stood behind Zhang Yimou and nodded slightly when he heard the words.
For a moment, Director Zhang was in a trance.
"Congratulations to Director Guan." A fake smile appeared on Zhang Yimou's face.
In fact, Zhang Yimou did not go there to win awards this time. No one in the media in the industry thought that the film participating this time could win any awards.
So during the closing ceremony, even those who watched the closing ceremony had a quite stable mentality.
But surprisingly, Wang Quanan's "Reunion" unexpectedly won the Best Screenplay Award, which is better than nothing.
The media was still very generous and immediately spread the good news throughout the entertainment industry.
“News from the Berlin Film Festival, “Reunion” won the Best Screenplay Award in Berlin. This year’s Chinese-language films are not without success!”
“Zhang Yimou generously praised Guan Ling and Chen Guofu for filming “The Wind” ", claiming that it is a good thing that Chinese movies are about Ling."
"All the suspense of this Berlin Film Festival awards ceremony has been revealed, and the best screenplay award is better than nothing. The Oscar ceremony will be held in half a month. , let us wait and see whether Guan Ling can achieve great results again! ”
The media are really at their wits end. No matter what they write about in the entertainment industry, Guan Ling is an absolutely unavoidable topic.
……
China Film.
Han Sanpin, the film bureau, and many relevant personnel responsible for review were all in the movie screening room, waiting to watch Guan Ling's "The Melting Pot."
This movie caused a stir in South Korea.
Many leaders were confused.
Especially because the screenwriter is a mainland director and the starring role is a mainland actor who is almost soft-blocked.
This brings an inexplicable meaning to this movie. "Director Han, this movie has caused a lot of sensation in South Korea. I am really curious, and after thinking about it, I must come and have a look."
Director Tong came in person. Went to the screening room and chatted with Han Sanpin.
Han Zheng looked at everyone and added: "I have also searched for the background information and details of the movie, but before showing these information to the leaders, I still hope that the leaders will watch the movie first."
This time I saved The Bureau was owned by Han Sanpin, but in fact Director Tong was also one of his supporters.
The people here are all people who can make changes to China's film development policy.
For example, what needs to be cut and what does not need to be cut, sometimes it is the sentence above.
"The background details are quite mysterious?" Director Tong glanced at Han Zheng with a smile, and then looked at the people behind him,
"Then let's show the movie. This This is an internal meeting. Director Han wants to use this platform and this movie to talk about the future of Chinese movies. I actually have some ideas and need to exchange opinions with you. "< br>
Everyone exchanged a few words with each other, and then the movie started.
There were not many people in the room. Han Sanpin had read the script before, but this was his first time watching the movie. In fact, everyone's eyes were relatively dull at first.
As the content of the movie gradually deepens.
Han Sanpin sat up straight.
Director Tong lowered his legs and stared straight at the screen.
As for the other people, their expressions were different from when they first came in.
Wait until the plot enters the second half.
Director Tong's lips trembled a little, and the eyes of others suddenly became sharp.
“This movie...this movie...”
After the movie was played, Director Tong’s face was full of regret, “If this is a domestic movie, then our movie, You really got it right!"
"Oh." Han Sanpin squinted his eyes, "It's a bargain."
A few people shook their heads. It was indeed a bargain. .
Compared to China, Korean movies started late.
In the 1980s, China had already produced excellent commercial and artistic films such as "Furong Town", "Yellow Earth" and "Red Sorghum".
South Korean films, which are still in a cultural blockade, are almost ignored.
In 1993, the box office share of Korean local films fell to the lowest in history - 15.9%.
The rise of Korean movies is thanks to one man.
On October 13, 1997, he made harsh words at the Busan Film Festival.
Revitalize Korean film.
The person who said this was Kim Dae-jung, who ran for president three times and failed three times.
This was his promise when he ran for office for the fourth time.
Korean people are actually dubious.
Before this, Korean movies had been completely restricted and dying.
No one expected that a 74-year-old man who had experienced five death threats, six years of prison life, and long-term house arrest would save Korean movies.
After being elected president with an overwhelming 40% vote, Kim Dae-jung did not break his promise.
After taking office, he advocated the abolition of the "movie clipping system".
In the second year after taking office, he established the Film Promotion Committee.
Set up subsidy funds to support film festivals and promote genre production and artistic exploration.
In 1999, the famous skinhead movement in Korean film history took place.
In order to protest South Korea's entry into the WTO and the opening of quotas for foreign films, Korean filmmakers launched large-scale demonstrations. Almost all filmmakers were mobilized. Many male filmmakers even shaved their heads at the National Hall in Seoul. Sit-in protests were held at Gwanghwamun Gate and other places.
The government and filmmakers have reached a consensus:
Not only has movies been listed as a key support target, but legislation has also stipulated that every cinema in South Korea and each auditorium must screen domestic films for 146 days a year. Movie.
Let movies return to movies.
Help movies find an audience.
From imitating and plagiarizing movies to the rapid convergence of nationalism and movie-going enthusiasm, Korean movies are becoming more and more local.
But now, no one here has expected it.
The person who added fire to the locality of Korean films is not the familiar Korean directors, but a mainland screenwriter.
And he is currently the best director in China.
Who could have imagined this?
Isn’t this world too crazy? !
Everyone here felt a hard slap on their face at this moment.
If it were not a censorship issue, would this movie have been shot in the country?
Everyone looked at each other and looked at each other!
No one knows what to say first.
Later, Han Sanpin was the first to speak: "Everyone, do you think this movie can be released in China?"
Although Director Tong wanted to say yes, he still shook his head, "Evil people will not be punished. , if this paragraph is not changed, it will be unrealistic."
"But if it is changed, the movie will have no practical significance." Han Zheng handed over various backgrounds to everyone present.
After opening it, you will see the background.
Most people are just silent.
In November 2005, at the first trial of the case on which this film was based, the principal involved, Kim, was sentenced to five years in prison, the administrative director, Kim, was sentenced to one year, and a teacher was sentenced to two years in prison. Year.
However, the aforementioned party did not actually receive any substantive punishment after the verdict and continued to hold positions in the school.
Six years have passed since the incident. Both the perpetrator and the victim seem to have buried the incident deep in their memories, pretending that nothing had ever happened.
And now, a Chinese movie has completely exposed this incident.
The following is the huge impact this movie has made in South Korea so far.
The release of the movie not only caused people to reflect, but also once again brought this closed sexual assault case to the surface.
With the concentrated attention and fueling of the Korean people, the Gwangju police in South Korea formed a special investigation team to once again investigate the "Inhwa School Incident".
Half a month after the movie was released, the original case was brought up again, several employees began to be prosecuted, and as many as 20 people began to receive notifications and internal investigations.
More than a thousand people marched and demonstrated in South Korea.
Banners filled the Blue House.
Looking at these things, the upper-level leaders, including one, were all dumbfounded.
Han Sanpin took a breath of air.
You won’t know if you don’t look at it, but you will be shocked when you look at it.
How did Guan Ling come up with this movie?
It’s so outrageous that he opened the door for me, it’s so outrageous!
"To be honest, I think this movie cannot be released in the Mainland. It is not in line with our social values."
"Evil people must be punished. This is the bottom line of conflict for the release of the movie. And this The movie is not suitable for minors to watch. As you know, we do not have a rating system. "It is still difficult to work out a rating system at this stage."
As everyone voted and expressed, Han Sanpin was full of regrets.
He tried his best, but the movie couldn't be released, so there was nothing he could do.
“I have a suggestion.” Director Tong said, “This movie is absolutely a good movie, so why don’t we promote watching this movie on high school campuses?”
