China Entertainment: I have been a director since 05

Chapter 285 This world is so crazy! The top leaders are all stupid!
"Director Han, it's nothing. It's just a realistic film. It's a bit dark."

"What's wrong with Darkness? Can we still give you a review? You, you, is this the project you said you would cooperate with CJ Entertainment before?"

During the Chinese New Year, Director Han was originally comfortable this year, but then the public opinion on the Internet 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 a collaboration 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 felt a little regretful.

Guan Ling seemed to hear Han Sanpin's regret and said with relief.

Zhang Yimou also went to the 60th Berlin International Film Festival with his "Three Guns".

And that side.

“The Berlinale Film Festival’s comprehensive score is the lowest among all competition films at the festival!”

"Guan Ling has detonated the Korean entertainment industry. According to Korean reports, Guan Ling has become the Chinese director most familiar to Koreans."

Therefore, in this Berlin Film Festival, although there is Zhang Yimou in China, Wang Quan'an has been shortlisted for Berlin's main competition unit.

……

But the curiosity in his heart still made him couldn't help but ask for the script.

In fact, during this period, Guan Ling's popularity was not something that Zhang Yimou could touch.

The first news that surpassed Guan Ling's popularity was Zhang Yimou's "Three Guns". Although it had been revised, there were many discrepancies with the version released in China. Many two-person scenes were missing and the lines were reduced. At the same time, some of the playful style was also eliminated. weaken.

On the other end of the phone, Han Sanpin smiled half-heartedly.

"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?"

"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 million yuan. If Chen Guofu comes out again after many years, can the box office exceed the million mark?"

"Cultural export? Movies written by Guan Ling have seen explosive growth in the number of moviegoers released in South Korea. Many movie fans have requested Korean film-related departments to introduce more movies written or directed by Guan Ling."

After all, the entire industry has been intrigued by Guan Ling.

But it still set a record at this Berlin Film Festival.

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.

But it didn't actually cause a huge stir.

When a reporter asked him about his purpose in making this movie, Zhang Yimou claimed that it was just an attempt.

"Some are causing unrest in South Korea, and some are having the lowest ratings in Germany."

"No, there are copies." Guan Ling said, "Although I am not a distributor, I have talked with CJ Entertainment. If this movie is not available in the mainland, it can be used as a learning material on campus or in lectures. The details are up to you. Come and grasp it.

"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."

Zhang Yimou claimed that the authentic language humor could not be conveyed to overseas audiences, so it had to be modified in this way.

"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."

My expectations for this movie are even higher.

"Are you prepared for this?"

"I just said, "Three Guns" is not only a bad movie, but it is a bad movie specially prepared for our audience during the Lunar New Year, and it is covered with red silk and is full of joy!"

"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,"

In the media, the miracles created by Guan Ling are still sweeping the domestic entertainment industry.

"Tang won a Korean award for his acting skills. After "Lust, Caution", Tang Wei added another highlight to his resume!"

Even Wang Quanan's "Reunion", which was selected as the opening film of the Berlin International Film Festival on the occasion of the Chinese Lunar New Year, was still not too popular.

"That's true. Send me the script."

"I will interrogate it tomorrow."

The emergence of this news immediately made netizens continue to affirm Guan Ling's awesomeness.

CJ Entertainment definitely hopes that the movie can be released in China.

But I feel uncertain, but the copy must still be reviewed by you. I will arrange for it to be sent to China Film Group now. "

……

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 it in China.

Zhang Yimou was also very helpless about the cold reception he received in Berlin.

"Guan Ling returned to the crew of "Father" and refused our interview. He claimed that he would film the movie first."

Guan Ling's words made Han Sanpin become serious.

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 movie directed by Guan Ling has not been released recently, but I haven't paid much attention to the others."

"The Wind, directed by Zhang, written by Guan Ling, and directed by Chen Guofu, has been released a few days ago. The box office exceeded 3.5 million in half a month, which is nearly twice the box office of "Three Guns"."

"what?"

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 daze.

"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.

Therefore, 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 very generous and immediately spread the good news throughout the entertainment industry.

"News from the Berlin Film Festival: "Reunion" won Berlin's Best Screenplay. This year's Chinese-language film festival is not without success!"

"Zhang Yimou generously praised Guan Ling and Chen Guofu for filming "The Wind" and claimed that it was a good thing for Chinese movies to be 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 Awards will be held in half a month. Whether Guan Ling can achieve another great result, let us wait and see!"

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."

The movie caused a stir in South Korea.

Many leaders were confused.

Especially since 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 quite a stir in South Korea. I'm really curious. After thinking about it, I must come and see it."

Director Tong came to the screening room in person 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 the game was saved by Han Sanpin, but in fact Director Tong was also one of the supporters.

The few people here are all people who can make changes to China's film development policy.

For example, what needs to be cut and what doesn't need to be cut, sometimes it's just the sentence above.

"The background details are quite mysterious?" Director Tong glanced at Han Zheng with a smile, then looked at the people behind him,

"Then let's show the movie. This time we have an internal meeting. Director Han wants to use this platform and this movie to talk about the future of Chinese movies. As for me, I actually have some ideas and need to talk to him. Let’s exchange opinions together.”

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 the 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 is really the best!"

"Alas." Han Sanpin squinted his eyes, "I won a bargain."

Several people shook their heads, it was indeed a bargain.

Compared with China, Korean movies started late.

In the 80s, 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 level in history - 15.9%.

The rise of Korean movies is thanks to one man.

On October 1997, 10, 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 a promise he made when he ran for office for the fourth time.

Koreans are actually dubious.

Prior to this, Korean movies had been completely restricted and dying.

No one expected that a 5-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 "film editing 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 foreign film quotas, Korean filmmakers launched large-scale demonstrations. Almost all filmmakers were mobilized. Many male filmmakers even shaved their heads and sat in protest at Seoul's National Hall and Gwanghwamun Gate. .

The government and filmmakers 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 must screen domestic films for 146 days a year.

Let's bring movies back 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?
This world is too crazy, isn't it? !
Everyone here felt that they had been slapped hard on the face at this moment.

If it wasn't a matter of censorship, would this movie have been shot in China?
Everyone looked at each other and looked at each other!

No one knew 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 are not punished, so if you don't change this part, it's a no-brainer."

"But if it is changed, then the movie will have no practical significance." Han Zheng handed various backgrounds to everyone present.

After opening, you will see the background.

Most people are silent.

In November 2005, at the first trial of the case on which this film was based, the principal involved in the case, Kim, was sentenced to five years in prison, the administrative director, Kim, was sentenced to one year in prison, and a teacher was sentenced to two years in prison.

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, and 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.

Here’s a look at the huge impact this movie is currently having in South Korea.

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 encouragement 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.

It caused more than a thousand people in South Korea to march and demonstrate.

Banners filled the Blue House.

Seeing these things, the upper-level leaders, one or the other, were all dumbfounded.

Han Sanpin took a breath of air.

I don’t know, I’m scared.

How the hell did Guan Ling come up with this movie?

It’s so outrageous that he opened the door for outrageousness, it’s so outrageous!
"To be honest, I think this movie cannot be released in mainland China. It does not conform to our social values."

"Evil people must be punished. This is the conflicting bottom line for the release of the movie. Moreover, this movie is not suitable for minors to watch. As you know, we do not have a rating system."

"The classification system is still difficult to work out at this stage. I also refuse to let this movie be released in the mainland."

With everyone's votes and expressions, 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?"
