This director is very reliable

Chapter 666 Good Idea, But Difficult to Execute (Fill Yesterday)

Many people say that the Korean restriction is mainly for broadcasting on satellite TV and video sites, and theater movies involving Korean artists can be released as usual...

Yes, that's right!

But after THAAD, it is difficult to find imported films from South Korea. More importantly, Korean artists will have an impact on promotion and copyright sales in the mainland.

Actors can't come to the mainland to promote.

For example: "The Battle of the God of Cookery", Zheng Ronghe only went to Hong Kong and Macau to promote the film, and did not come to the mainland to promote...

Did he not want to?
The main reason is that objective conditions do not allow...

Since then, the Sino-Korean co-production agreement has become a piece of scrap paper!
This is the future situation!

In fact, most of the Chinese-Korean co-productions are either using popular Korean male stars paired with Chinese mainland female stars. The goal is very clear, relying on the super popularity of male stars in China to attract fans to buy...

It's a bit embarrassing, the actual purchasing power of fans of Hallyu stars in China on Weibo, especially movies, the box office is very poor...

The movie starring Park Chanyeol in EXO, which is known as the top Korean entertainment, is still a star, and the box office is only more than 7000 million.

Either use a well-known Korean director with Chinese actors...

In most cases, the box office is embarrassing!

In fact, most Korean filmmakers who come to China for development are not of high quality.

Top directors, top actors are more willing to go to Hollywood.

It is rumored in the industry that Mr. Lee, a Korean filmmaker, claims to be the CEO of a Korean film and television company, and is currently helping Korean screenwriters find cooperation with a Chinese film and television company.

After several phone calls, Mr. Li asked for labor fees, and threatened that if he didn't pay, he would ruin the company's reputation in the entire Korean film and television industry and make them unable to get along in the Korean film industry.

Please note that at this point there has not been any conversation about the project.

And the labor fee is only 3000 yuan...

In fact, not only China's capital, South Korea's second-rate, third-rate and even fourth-rate directors and screenwriters have also seen their own way out.

Some people come to China with scripts and projects that cannot be sold in their own countries, and rely on some people's superstitious beliefs about Korea to find a way out...

Are these people superstitious?
It’s still quite superstitious—a lot of hot money has poured into the circle, and there are not so many experienced directors at all. Most of the famous directors have fixed partners. Even novice directors will choose capable producers if they have some conditions. , issuer...

After all, the film industry is a very relational industry.

For novice players, it is better to invest in a well-known Korean director than to invest in newcomers who do not know their feet...

In 2014, the "China-Korea Film Co-production Agreement" was signed, confirming the co-production between China and South Korea, and both countries can enjoy the same treatment as domestic films.

Then, China-Korea co-productions are like making dumplings. There are as many as 2015 co-productions confirmed in 24 alone!
After the success of "Treasure Hunting Alliance", it has strengthened the confidence of many people...

Now "League of the Lost Treasure 2" is no longer successful.

What does it say?
China-Korea co-production is promising!

At least the IP of "League of Losing Treasures" is fine...

Group robber films are very popular in the markets of both countries, including the Southeast Asian market.

The second part of the story is over...

But this genre is basically without exception, blockbuster visual effects + handsome men and beautiful stars, big stars, put money in it, and then earn more money back.

Just make up a new story, and continue to do it—there is a way to make money!

"Fast and Furious" is obviously over, and the eighth and ninth parts have been made, and even extra episodes have been developed...

Here comes the question, not to mention whether "League of the Lost Treasure 3" can be released, if the box office is really good, and it even becomes a phenomenon-level movie, then...wouldn't it be a slap in the face and limit Korea?

Little brother, what's the matter with you?

The superiors are restricting Korea, so forget about co-productions between China and South Korea, and it will sell well?

What, is there any dissatisfaction with the policy?
However, the IP of "League of Losing Treasures" was built with great difficulty, and Shen Changlin couldn't bear to abolish it directly. After thinking about it, he said: "Go and contact Dongbao Movies..."

Yang Fan was puzzled: "Dongbao? Do you want to cooperate with Niben?"

"China-Japan co-production... The Japanese benzene market is not smaller than the Korean market... and it is very suitable for adding reasoning elements!" By the way, he added: "Nagasawa Masami, Sakai Masato, Kagawa Teruyuki, Aragaki Yui, Ishihara Satomi, all for Let me shout! I plan to direct the third part myself!"

"Then Xijie..."

"You go and get it done, in a word, let them quit voluntarily!"

Yang Fan was stunned for a long time, and then repeated Shen Changlin's request: "Quit? Are you willing?"

Shen Changlin also felt that he was a bit domineering, thought for a while, and said: "...In this way, CJ has always been like a remake of "Manslaughter", "Big Man", "Lucky Key", and can be sold to them..."

"...I'll give it a try." Yang Fan pondered for a while and asked, "Can't "League of the Lost Treasure 3" be co-produced by China, Japan and South Korea?"

"...Co-production of the Three Kingdoms?"

Shen Changlin was silent for a while...

This idea is pretty good!

In terms of volume, the film markets of China, Japan, and South Korea, together, far exceed the North American and European markets. If "League of the Lost Treasure 3" can succeed...

"let me consider it…"

After hanging up the phone, Shen Changlin couldn't help thinking for a while...

This matter is indeed something to do, but it is not easy to do.

In fact, when Chen Kexin made a round in Hollywood and filmed a "Love Letter", he felt uncomfortable, and the concept of Asian movies was born, and he founded the Applause Pictures film company. Da, together with himself, made "Three Watches", a three-part horror film;

The effect is not bad, and the three markets all have different gains;
Afterwards, "Three Changes 2" went a step further. Japanese director Takashi Miike, Korean director Park Chan-wook and Hong Kong director Shen Guo continued the three-stage horror film...

This model is actually very good. You see, it is very difficult for foreign films to enter the local market, and there are no preferential policies. Export.

It's a pity that the market share of horror movies is too small...

Moreover, no one expected that the humble mainland market would rise so quickly.

For the entire Hong Kong circle to go north, the mainland market alone is enough. There is no need for regional alliances like before, and it depends on other people's faces...

In addition, the rise of Korean movies is too fast. Although the market is not big, it can still support local movies, so they also play their own games.

Now Shen Changlin is going to perform this operation again...

Do you want to do it?
From the perspective of market returns, there is no need - the Chinese market is big enough, as long as "League of the Lost Treasure 3" satisfies the Chinese market, it can guarantee a huge profit...

The co-production between China and Japan is only Shen Changlin's idea, and it can be regarded as a preview for the Japanese chapter of "Tang Detective"...

Moreover, the script is ready!
Plus Korea...

Have to overthrow and rewrite...

I struggled for a while, but let it go, the third part will be filmed first, and if possible, the fourth part will be co-produced by China, Japan and South Korea, after all, international relations are changing too fast...
