Emperor Superstar Cultivation System

"Time is very tight. We don't have much time for Mr. Lin this time, or very little." As soon as Jin Yongtai got on the elevator, he restrained his smile and said seriously, "I heard that Mr. Lin knows about the quota system?"

Lin Xiao laughed. Sure enough, Li Xiaoli sold himself at some point. After selling his favor, he might feel that he was losing money, and then "changed hands" to the Han River monster crew. It's really... cunning...

"I know a little bit." He didn't hide anything, and said truthfully, "I heard that the United States and South Korea are negotiating the WTO agreement. If it is passed, the South Korean government will reduce the South Korean screen quota from 140 days to 73 days."

Jin Yongtai's body trembled undetectably. No matter who said this sentence, even if it was just a rumor, it was a nightmare!

The history of Korean film development can be said to be closely related to the screen quota system, and it cannot be separated from it at all!Without screen quota, there would be no Korean cinema!

"This is intolerable!" He waved his hand, and couldn't help saying loudly, "I won't say how many people are unemployed... The key is... Can the current Korean movies withstand the impact of Hollywood... This is impossible! No corner of the world can welcome the mopping up of Hollywood! This is a cultural invasion! We must fight it! This is trampling on our Guanghuamen!"

"Mr. Lin, you have also seen that now not only dsp, but also ** and jyp are all mobilized. If the government insists on going its own way, we will swear to the death to defend the film and television rights of the Republic of Korea!"

Lin Xiao nodded in agreement, but he really didn't have much sense of belonging in his heart.

What is Gwanghwamun?He doesn't even know.However, I have seen the fanatical patriotism of some Koreans.

After finishing these few sentences, Kim Yong-tae spoke with indignation about the importance of the screen quota system to the Korean film and television industry.Lin Xiao, on the other hand, has spliced ​​together some memory fragments in his mind.

In 1970, South Korea started the quota protection movement. In order to protect Korean films from Hollywood’s cultural invasion, according to the production of a company, the government distributed how many foreign films could be played. Investing in local film and television together, although foreign blockbusters have entered, they have indeed supported the Korean film industry.

The lights of the elevator were bright, and Lin Xiao looked at Jin Yongtai from the corner of his eyes. There was no strange color on the other side's face, it was all the indignation for revitalizing the industry.

He looked at the slightly dazzling lights on the top, and remembered the great war at the turn of the century in 1999.

In 99, South Korea decided to cut quotas for the first time. However, at that time, the entertainment industry, music, film, television, and variety shows all worked together.140 six-day quota reserved!

This is the famous bald head movement in Korean film history.

He sighed. In 06, this was the second time that the film and television industry thought they could reverse the government's decree like they did in 99. This time, they hit a rock.

After 06, South Korean President Roh Moo-hyun resorted to iron-blooded means. For the sake of the WTO agreement, he insisted on "selling" half of the screen quota, which led to the collective depression of Korean films in 07. two spring.

The reason why he remembered this was because the original intention of filming the Han River Monster was Bong Joon-ho’s own dream all along, and the second was that the change of screen quotas aroused strong anti-American sentiment in the Korean film and television industry. He used this film to crazily satirize It is really bitter and difficult to design a heroic image of the American people because of the American cultural invasion, but due to the relationship between South Korea and the United States.

And why the other party appointed him is already clear at a glance, just like Feng Junhao's original intention, he is using this film to satirize American cultural aggression, and the best way to satirize aggression is to release this film to the United States.

Don't you want to invade the domestic market?good?Then I'll let you see, your "aggression" may turn into a "hard fight."

It was also a demonstration for the Korean film industry.Tell the United States that the Korean film industry is not as weak as you think. I advise you to give up this area and choose another profit, and keep the quota system for us. Otherwise, the Korean film industry will fight Hollywood with all its strength.

However, the Korean film industry does not have internationally renowned entertainers. Who is the most famous Asian entertainer internationally?It must be Cheng Long. Unfortunately, he can't afford Cheng Long's salary. The second one is Lin Xiao who has just made his mark on the world stage.

World-class popularity is very important for Korean film and television professionals who want to slap the US emperor.

In his last life, he didn't have such a reputation, and Feng Junhao couldn't afford Cheng Long, so he could only choose Song Kanghao.

In this life, the return of the little butterfly and the blowing wind made them have one more choice, but it was quite a good choice.

"Ding dong..." The elevator stopped on the 24th floor and opened. Jin Yongtai nodded to him, and he followed closely on the quiet floor.

This floor is very quiet. There are offices everywhere. I occasionally see a few employees. Except for stopping to say hello to them, the rest of the time they are in a hurry. Even if they are on the phone, their voices are very low.

Green plants are placed between the corridors, which are completely different from the staff floors below.

A huge banner reading "Oppose cultural aggression, all Korean film and television professionals and the masses are united!" written on the gossip flag and hung in the middle of the corridor, is particularly eye-catching.

There are densely packed names and signatures on it. Lin Xiao looked over calmly and saw the names of Song Kanghao, Zhang Dongjian, Kwon Sangwoo and others.

"Click..." Jin Yongtai pushed open a door, but Lin Xiao was stunned.

Inside the door, there was not one person sitting at all, but seven people.

On the left is currently the top three directors in South Korea, with white hair, a rectangular face, and a majestic "Godfather of Korean Film" Lin Quanze. , Kang Di Kyu with disheveled hair and bubble eyes, and Bong Joon Ho with big wavy hair, square face and glasses.

On the right is Song Kanghao with a kind face, Cui Minzhi who looks like an ordinary uncle, and Xue Jingqiu who looks a little like Chen Daoming.

On the left and right sides, on one side are the current three major directors in South Korea, the new directors!On the other side is the troika of artists, which can almost be said to represent the highest-ranking combination in the Korean film and television industry. With this kind of battle, Lin Xiao understood how serious this matter has become at the first sight.

In 99, what the government caused was a huge backlash from the entire entertainment industry!But now, the music scene has a trend of surpassing the film and television industry. This time, only a few people in the music scene will stand up!

Only these fighters are still fighting to the death on this battlefield!Quota cuts have touched the roots of the film and television industry!

Behind them, there is a huge photo frame, which is a photo magnified countless times, which is the group photo of all the bald artists after the victory of the bald movement in 99.

"For the film and television industry of the Republic of Korea! We will fight to the end!"

A line of bloody red letters was printed on the photo, which was particularly shocking.

Seeing them coming in, everyone nodded slightly, Jin Yongtai quietly retreated, and Lin Xiaogang sat down.Lin Zequan spoke.

"Mr. Lin, I believe you have seen it." He tried to force a smile on his rigid face, nodded slowly to Lin Xiao, and gently rubbed the table with his rough fingers, "The situation of the entire Korean film and television industry has reached a point The dark tide is raging."

"Whoever ignites this primer will completely explode this pack of explosives."

"We will never allow the American emperor to trample on the dignity of Korean culture!" South Korea's "legendary director" Jiang Digui patted the table, the occlusal muscles of his cheeks were trembling, "When my 'fish' could beat the Titanic once, I would Can beat them a second time!"

"This battle is a battle for the film and television industry alone! The music industry won't help us! We can make the government cancel this stupid decision!" Kim Ki-duk also shouted excitedly.

Lin Xiao nodded. I heard that Koreans have a pathological stubbornness in their patriotic sentiments. This incident has already seen it.

Feng Junhao looked at him and said seriously, "Mr. Lin, you are indeed very well informed. We discussed for a long time before deciding that you are more suitable for this role."

"Why does this film need the nod of our group?" Jiang Digui frowned and continued, "This film, with an investment of tens of billions of won, is the largest film in the country this year. If we don't come up with something by the end of this year , the United States will definitely force the government to continue reducing the quota! This film, which looks like Mr. Bong's film, is actually related to the lifeblood of the entire Korean film!"

"I also think that Mr. Lin is more suitable for this role, so I voluntarily gave up my position." Song Kanghao smiled and nodded to Lin Xiao, his face seemed to be so kind forever, "I have seen Mr. Lin's movies, and Director Jiang may also The memory is still fresh, Mr. Lin's acting skills are definitely not inferior to the three of us, and more importantly, the age is suitable and the international reputation is high. In this regard, the three of us are not as good as Mr. Lin."

Lin Xiao frowned slightly. This sentence seemed to be flattering, but it was actually killing. It seems that Song Kanghao's role was not given up willingly, but after discussions among these people, he finally chose someone with more international reputation to slap him. , as the national movie star, he is quite appreciative.

Xue Jingqiu gave a light "um" without saying anything, and Cui Minzhi even drank the coffee in front of him without saying a word.

"Mr. Lin, this time is of great importance to the film and television industry of the Republic of Korea." Lin Quanze looked at Lin Xiao and said, "We don't want to use foreign artists unless it is absolutely necessary. But not only South Korea, Japan, and China are also suffering from Hollywood's criticism." Invasion. You can go to Hollywood to develop, that's because you are not a director, and it doesn't matter whoever you shoot!"

"Once you become a real director yourself and think from the perspective of a director, instead of being a guest director like you used to be, you will really realize this responsibility." Jiang Digui also said solemnly, "Once the government agrees to open Quotas, the future of the entire South Korean film market will become unimaginable!"

"Maybe he will be reborn in adversity." Lin Xiao said with a smile.

"Everything must be prepared for the worst." Lim Kwon-taek said, "This movie takes on something different. This is our voice to Hollywood."
