Chapter 412 Mr. Xu Is Really Heartbroken
"From what you say, you are very optimistic about the film "Parasite". I have heard of this Korean director. Is the film so good?" Han Sanping asked.
Otherwise, why would Xu Jia look so confident?
As for the impression of Bong Joon-ho, this guy's "Han River Monster" was also a masterpiece of Korean science fiction.
And the irony of mold in it also made the Chinese people applaud.
"There is no problem with my directing skills, and the quality of the script is not without similar excellent scripts. However, with the national conditions of Goryeo and their novel angles, I think it can better cater to Western values." Xu Jia explained carefully.
If you want to win awards, you have to cater to Western values, or at least make people understand them. This is an inevitable fact.
Why are those film festivals held by Westerners and targeting Westerners?
Even the potential buyers of these films are also geared towards Westerners, so it is not an exaggeration to say that the selected films are biased toward their preferences.
Even if some people deliberately cater to it and do not hesitate to smear the image of their own country, then they are despicable.
"Oh? After hearing what you said, I became interested." Han Sanping sounded curious.
The Third Master has already mentioned this, but Xu Jia still doesn't understand what he means: "It just so happens that the movie hasn't started showing yet. Please come over and watch it together at a convenient time. You can also give us some opinions by the way. After all, it's about winning the prize." You also have rich experience in this area.”
There is another unspeakable purpose, which is that with the third master’s control, it will be much easier for this film to enter the Chinese film market.
At least Mr. San knows how to avoid censorship risks for this kind of film. Another convenient thing is that this film actually belongs to China.
Although the director and the main creator are both Koreans, the funding was mainly provided by Xu Jia, and the copyrights are also owned by Jiaxing. Even the production team is mainly composed of Jiaxing's own people.
Whether it's applying for film festivals or selling copyrights, it's all in the name of Jiaxing.
"Sure, you said so, then I'll go over and take a look and act as your adviser."
Han Sanping laughed twice and did not feel embarrassed at all. On the contrary, he became even closer to Xu Jia.
This guy is so sensible, he would just hand him a pillow when he feels sleepy.
After putting down the phone, Xu Jia turned around and entered the review room.
At this time, in addition to company executives, several directors also came to join in the fun.
Among them were Diao Yinan, who was editing the film, and Xin Shuang, who had free time. Everyone was eagerly waiting for the movie to be released.
"Ahem, wait a little longer. The third master said he wants to come over, so it would be more appropriate to wait until the old man comes to watch together." Xu Jia said.
At first, everyone was a little emotional when they heard that the film review would be suspended. But when they heard that the third master was coming, they immediately thought that nothing happened.
There is no one in the Chinese film industry who doesn't know Han Sanping's status.
If this man can come, it is to give him face.
Bong Joon-ho himself looked confused: "What's wrong? Is there something wrong?"
After the translator explained the reason to him, and after understanding Han Sanping's identity, Bong Joon-ho was filled with gratitude.
Mr. Xu is really worried about his movie.
a long time.
Han Sanping just appeared at the door.
In addition, Wen Muye, who received the news, also rushed over and found a seat to sit down.
Good guy, all the directors in the company are sitting here except those who are filming.
It can only be said that the development of Goryeo movies to this day actually still has merits.
Secondly, I was also curious about what the Goryeo movies that Xu Jia valued would be like.
After all, the projects that my boss values have their own special features.
Everyone here knows this because they have experienced it.
"Third Master."
"Third Master!"
"Director Han."
Everyone stood up and said hello to Han Sanping.
Han Sanping waved his hand and said with a smile: "Sit down, everyone. Don't do this. If word spreads about it in the future, people will think that I, Mr. Han, am so grand."
"By the way, this is directed by Bong Joon-ho. Your Korean movies are now developing rapidly and are famous internationally."
He recognized Bong Joon-ho in the crowd at a glance. Although everyone was Asian, the difference in temperament was quite obvious.
"No, no, it's all under the leadership of the big brother Huaxia Film. Many of our directors actually learn from you, such as Zhang Yimou and Chen Kai, they are all idols that I admire and learn from."
Bong Joon-ho understood Han Sanping's identity and kept his posture very low.
The more you understand the history between China and Goryeo, the more you will remain in awe of China.
And what he said is true. Korea Film and Television has only developed in recent years. In the early years, it was not only the box office of Hong Kong movies, but also deeply influenced by mainland movies.
"Hahaha, Yi and Brother Kai are indeed of good quality. They are considered top-notch internationally. You won't suffer any loss by learning from them."
Han Sanping patted Bong Joon-ho on the shoulder with his big hand, and the little stick became more pleasing to the eye, "Okay, let's start watching the movie. I think everyone is impatient."
Seeing everyone sitting down, Xu Jia winked at Miao Yuqing and motioned for the latter to show the movie while he sat beside him.
""Wolf Warrior 2" has been very popular recently. The box office has exceeded 6 billion. Let me tell you to extend the release by one month. Good movies should have a longer schedule. The film industry must also survive the fittest. Like before It would be best to rely on subsidies and eliminate all the half-dead ones."
Han Sanping spoke appreciatively in the first half of his words. The popularity of "Wolf Warrior 2" was something he never expected, and it also made him feel hopeful that he could see the day when China's film industry would be industrialized.
In the second half, I started to hate iron for not becoming steel, not for Jiaxing, but for other people in the industry.
With such unique conditions, and even the audience's tolerance being high, it's still impossible to make a movie that the public likes.
Then it deserves to be eliminated by the market.
"You don't have to worry about this. With the advancement of marketization, gold will always shine. If the audience likes it, it will stay. Even if the audience doesn't like it, even if it is forced to stay, it will not affect the overall situation." Xu Jia reassured.
There is nothing he can do about subsidizing it, it is not something he can interfere with, and this kind of rice bug exists in every industry, and it must be banned.
As long as capable people can come forward, this system is quite good.
Thumb thump thump~
The opening animation of Jiaxing appeared on the screen.
Everyone also consciously became silent and devoted themselves to the movie.
If they were still skeptical about this "Parasite" competing for awards before, but when they saw that the basement was destroyed by heavy rains, the family tried every means to live in the villa, only to find that there was actually a parasite in the villa. Then all doubts were dispelled.
They finally understood why Xu Jia was so optimistic about this movie. Such a clear and absurdly strict class system could only be made by the Koreans who lived under the control of chaebols.
