Chapter 399 Trip to Busan
Liu Yifei didn't know what he was busy these days, and stayed in Shanghai for several days without going home.

Cheng Yu'an said he was going to cheer up his good sister, but Cheng Yu'an didn't understand and ignored her:
"I'll fly to South Korea and come back on the 15th."

I thought I could do the later stage of "Thieves" with peace of mind, but usually there are too many activities and invitations, some can be pushed, some can be pushed, and those who can't be pushed will go. Yesterday he just finished studying at his alma mater's film school Lectures and seminars of the General Administration, today will fly to South Korea to participate in the Busan Film Festival.

The film festival has been open for a few days, he went to attend one or two forums, and took a look at the operation of Korean studios.

Cheng Yu'an brought the company and his team to land at Gimhae Airport.

He didn't care about rest, and was picked up by the film festival organizer's special car as soon as he got off the plane.

It can be said that the Busan Film Festival is much better than the Shanghai Film Festival, an international A-category film festival.In Asia, the Busan Film Festival and the Tokyo Film Festival are a bit high-end.

Their positioning is very precise, relying on South Korea's growing local market in recent years, radiating to Asia, and attracting outstanding Asian directors, especially outstanding young directors to the film festival.It's like the Shanghai International Film Festival, it's an international orientation, but the result is that it can't invite international directors and stars.

This year's Busan Film Festival is also doing well, with a lot of stars.

Many domestic people went: Xu Ke, Fan Xiaopang, Yu Dong, Wang Zhonglei, the crew of "Martial Arts", the crew of "Legend of the White Snake", and the crew of "Sedek Bale".

However, Xu Ke, Luc Besson, and Cheng Yu'an, who arrived last, had the biggest coffee spots in the entire film festival.

Luc Besson needless to say, Xu Ke also has a very good appeal in Asia, especially in the Korean film industry. The Busan Film Festival also respects him very much. At the opening ceremony, the "Asian Filmmaker" symbolizing the Lifetime Achievement Award Award" was awarded to him:
"In recognition of his continuous efforts to bring new technologies to Chinese films, to bring Chinese films to the world, and to rewrite film history many times in Chinese films and martial arts genres through technology."

This comment is indeed no problem for Xu Ke.

Not to mention Cheng Yu'an, who won the Silver Lion Award for Best Director and the Golden Lion Award for Best Film before the age of 30, the only one in Asia.

"If Director Cheng doesn't come, this year's Busan will lose its brilliance." The organizers have said so, and Cheng Yu'an has to give them this face.

Cheng Yu'an looked at the schedule of the film festival in the car. There are activities every day, and the schedule is very full.

Assistant Xiao Zheng still reminded him: "Brother, if a reporter asks you what you think of Steven Jobs' death, just say it's a pity."

"Huh?" Cheng Yu'an has been immersed in post-production for the past few days, and is a little insensitive to outside information. "He is in technology, and we are in movies. Can you ask me about these two businesses?"

"Jobs' death is the big news these days. Whether you are in the technology circle or not, you will be asked. Brother Zheng (the CEO of Remote Technology) complained to me these days. No matter what reporter, the first sentence he asked was What do you think of Jobs' death. I'm tired of asking him."

"Okay, I'll pay attention."

Cheng Yuan was going to participate in an event called "Asian Movie Night". Because of the tight schedule, she changed clothes and put on makeup in the car.

Getting ready backstage, I heard the host at the front desk say in Korean: "The following is the important guest of this year's film festival, the director Cheng Yu'an who just won the Venice Golden Lion Award for Asia."

"The Hunt" is obviously an English-language film, so why is it made for Asia?
Cheng Yu'an didn't know who wrote the sour words, so he put on a good face and came on stage.

Participating in this kind of activities a lot, Cheng Yu'an has also learned to control his expressions, how to smile nicely, and what poses to pose.

The arrival of Cheng Yu'an was undoubtedly a surprise. Most of the participants in this event today were young filmmakers. Almost all of them heard Cheng Yu'an's name and gave them a standing ovation.

Cheng Yu'an briefly said a few words on the stage and took a few photos before stepping down and sitting down with his colleagues in the company.

The format of the forum is very relaxed, with the main stage in front and banquet tables below.

Cheng Yu'an was chatting with the general manager of the studio: "This year's plan is right, make less movies and more TV dramas."

YC Studio has already attracted attention in South Korea. This year, it has retreated for a year. It does not make movies or scripts. It only sticks to the regular broadcast of "Running man!"

"Actually, we have a few scripts in our hands, and we didn't do them this year because we wanted to avoid the limelight. In addition, we have to wait for Mr. Cheng to negotiate with SM, so that the water in the Korean market will be muddied so that we can develop our performance."

"How is Lingfeng's talk with SM going? Don't make any mistakes, or we will get burned, and we won't be able to explain to Xijie and the others."

"Don't worry, the entire negotiation process was carried out in the United States, and it was basically settled. Kim Young-min only returned to South Korea a few days ago. No one knows about our cooperation for the time being. As long as the confidentiality measures are done well, we will have to wait for "Ex Machina" next year." After the release, CJ and Lotte will know about our cooperation with SM."

"Ex Machina" was published by Universal, and if Xijie questioned it, Cheng Lingfeng would blame Universal, saying that Jin Yingmin talked to Universal herself, she and Cheng Yu'an had no knowledge of it, and Xijie and the others had nothing to say.

SM paid a lot of money to buy the road, Universal and a big movie company must keep them.

The two were talking, when a greeting came from beside them: "Director Cheng."

Our director Cheng recognizes Korean male stars, but he is really blind to most Korean female stars, and he really can't name the girl in front of him.

The general manager beside him whispered to him in Chinese: "Lin Yuner when I was young."

Only then did Cheng Yu'an realize: "It's Lin Yuner, hello, hello." He shook hands with her.

Lin Yun'er wore a white bare-shouldered dress today, and looking at her closely, she actually felt that she was not in a good condition recently, her eyes were full of fatigue, and her face was very thin, unable to hold her flesh.

In fact, Lin Yuner didn't mean anything else when she came up to say hello, she just came to brush her face.

In "Ex Machina", an Asian female character will be used to play an intelligent robot. SM intends to push her to play the role, but this role is very large and requires full nudity. She is considering it.

But I still have to thank Cheng Yuan.

After Lim Yoona left, Gong Liu, Yoo Ah In, Ha Jung Woo and other young Korean actors came over to introduce themselves.

Fortunately, most of Cheng Yu'an can be called by name, and he can cope with it.

In the end, it turned out to be his compatriots, and Tang Wei came to speak.

"Director Cheng, long time no see." Tang Wei smiled.

She is Zhixi's bridesmaid, and the two have never seen each other since Ranqiu's farewell at the wedding.

She came to the film festival with the crew of "Martial Arts", and another "Late Autumn" was screened at the film festival.

Well, it's the "Late Autumn" that seduced her husband away.
