Heads Up Hollywood

Chapter 838 Free Trade Agreement

Wu Shigen didn't understand Tang En's meaning.

Tang En smiled, and glanced at him meaningfully.

Wu Shigen understood, and quickly dispersed all the onlookers.

Tang En said solemnly: "Chairman Wu, you should know that this year... is the election year in the United States."

"so what?"

Wu Shigen was at a loss.

He vaguely knew about "Fahrenheit 9/11" and complained about it. If it were not for political interference, the Korean film "Old Boy" would most likely win the Palme d'Or at this year's Cannes Film Festival!

Twain settled "Fahrenheit 9/11" and killed Harvey Weinstein vigorously. This kind of sensational news has already spread all over the world.

Of course, in Wu Shigen’s view, Harvey Weinstein’s culpability boils down to making a political mistake. To put it bluntly, he was on the wrong team. The incriminating evidence that has been made public is really inconspicuous.

There is no way to compare with the Korean entertainment industry.

Today is the heyday of Korean movies. Almost all big-name directors and first-line actors are present. On the one hand, it is the official promotion, and on the other hand, they sincerely hope to appreciate the demeanor of the world's richest man up close.

Even Wu Shigen had already thought about it, as long as Tang En gave a hint, he would personally arrange it.

For example, Ha Ji Won, Son Ye Jin, Han Ga In, Song Hye Kyo and other actresses who have been very popular in recent years.

It's just a matter of one sentence.

This is really a misunderstanding of Tang En.

If he wants to play with women, he still needs to use Wu Shigen's relationship? That's too much talent!

It is enough to let s/m entertainment help arrange.

"It's a national policy." Tang En shook his head and said in a deep voice.

"National policy?" Wu Shigen raised his eyebrows.

Tang En said: "President Bush's past term of office, the most important thing for the United States was war. Now, the war is over and it is beginning to finish. In the next four years...whether the Democratic Party comes to power or President Bush is re-elected, economic development must be core issues."

Wu Shigen's eyes moved slightly, "Is this a good thing? The better the economic situation in the United States, the better the global economic environment will be."

The corner of Tang En's mouth curled up, "Chairman Wu, you know, I'm talking about movies."

"Movie?"

"To be disrespectful, the South Korean government has taken advantage of Hollywood a lot in the past few years."

Tang En said half-jokingly.

Wu Shigen's face turned cold, and he suddenly realized.

Finally understood what Tang En was referring to.

He wants South Korea to open up the movie market and let more Hollywood movies come in.

Wu Shigen's face was solemn, "Local movies must have some soil for survival."

Tang En said: "Of course, this is understandable. I agree with the strategy of postponing the schedule of Hollywood blockbusters in the summer and focusing on South Korean films, and it does not violate the agreement between the two countries. However, I heard that between South Korea and the United States to You have not fulfilled the trade agreement?"

Back then, in order to be able to join to, South Korea made many concessions, including the film industry.

The free trade agreement changed the originally stipulated 147 days that movie theaters must play Korean movies to 73 days.

As a result, it was collectively protested, marched and opposed by all Korean filmmakers.

They believe that if the market is liberalized, Korean films will lose their space and be completely dominated by Hollywood.

This matter is very troublesome.

Many filmmakers even went on a hunger strike and a sit-in, which had a huge international impact.

The Film Promotion Committee had no choice, and the Blue House had no choice but to renegotiate with the United States, delaying the implementation of this decision.

However, in many cases, the fiercer the competition, the greater the potential that can be stimulated.

Standing still will not get better. Accepting greater external challenges and integrating with each other can instead burst out a new strength.

In the previous life, Korean movies rose rapidly. In just a few years, they reached the top of Asia and became world-class, with the strength on par with Britain, Japan, and France.

How did you do it?

Open the market!

First of all, in the field of special effects, it actively recruited Hollywood teams to establish a branch; in the field of policy...the South Korean government has killed them, and no longer cares about the firm opposition of filmmakers. Under the pressure of the United States, it has firmly implemented the reform 147 Days for 73 days to decide!

All of a sudden, Hollywood movies swept the Korean market.

In this fierce and turbulent market change, Korean films have used the film concepts of Japan in the 1970s, Hong Kong government in the 1980s, and mainland China in the 1990s, and successfully integrated Hollywood's creative techniques and production concepts. The road to successful Korean cinema.

After the market was liberalized, Hollywood did not crush Korean films.

On the contrary, in South Korea's overall box office list, the top few are always local movies.

Wu Shigen looked embarrassed and frowning.

Tang En said softly: "Chairman Wu, I'm not a government official, and I don't have to speak for the government. In the next few years, the federal government will definitely use tough measures to promote economic development. Instead of being forced to open the market with a big stick, how can I It’s better to take the initiative to give in. At least you can make a preparation in advance to avoid protests from Korean filmmakers.”

Wu Shigen's face was solemn, and he nodded and said, "Thank you for your reminder. Looking back...we will study countermeasures."

Tang En smiled, "Good medicine is bitter. In fact, in my opinion, opening up the film market and promoting special effects industrial parks are essentially the same. Only by opening up can we learn better. The core of Hollywood is not technology, but It's the idea."

Wu Shigeun nodded again and again, he was obviously more interested in the topic of "special effects", which is the most important national policy of South Korea at present, and said: "Yes, speaking of technology... even if South Korea is not as good as the United States, it is definitely the best in the world. .”

Tang En shook his head and said: "Just talking about the special effects industry, there are several special effects companies in South Korea that are very strong, and I've heard about them too. But, can they compare to Weta Digital? From all angles, South Korea is far ahead Better than New Zealand! But why does New Zealand have a world-class special effects company like Weta Digital, but South Korea does not?"

Wu Shigen looked at him in surprise.

Tang En smiled slightly, "Today's speech, I will clear up your doubts. I can also give you a guarantee that the content of my speech is not a cliché, even if it is in the United States or in Hollywood, it will still be deafening. Just like I gave the same lectures at Columbia and USC."

...

Today's commercial special effects movies are still shot in a traditional way. CG technology is used in movies to add virtual scenes, characters, things, special effects and other objects, so as to achieve the purpose of making it difficult to distinguish between real and fake and enhance visual effects.

This is the concept of "post-production special effects" in the general public impression.

Most of the current Hollywood movies that involve the production of special effects adopt this concept.

However, this is an outdated concept.

What is an advanced concept?

It's a special effect in the early stage!

This will greatly change the construction of the traditional Hollywood crew, and a newly established special effects team will be added to the team to shoot together with the director team.

It is necessary for the special effects team to participate in the shooting process such as scene selection, stage beauty, props, angles, and live-action shooting, and even change the director's idea of ​​shooting.

Only professional special effects engineers can judge what kind of special effects shots are more aesthetically pleasing.

In the past few years, any commercial blockbuster with stunning visual effects must have been inseparable from the creative concept of "pre-special effects + post-production special effects".

However, for traditional directors, it is a bit unacceptable to let an unfamiliar special effects team in and to decentralize power significantly.

As a result, even in Hollywood, only the concept of "post-production special effects" prevails.

For example, Christopher Nolan, this guy firmly refused!

Tang En wants to talk about an advanced concept 10 years ahead of the times in South Korea, which can be said to be full of sincerity.

...

In the auditorium, the audience stood up and applauded thunderously.

There are about 1,000 people here, all applauding, enthusiastic applause, wishing to overturn the roof of this auditorium.

Tang En looked around everyone with a smile.

Turn a blind eye to the group of official personnel in the middle of the first row.

Eyes look between the corners and the actors in the second row.

"Huh? That's Song Hye Kyo, right? Her lips are so red, I don't know what it's like... Isn't that Kim Tae Hee? She's here too... Who is that? So familiar? What's her name, she's so pretty ..."

Tang En looked at the Korean female stars in the back row with a smile.

The makeup is really exquisite!

"Huh? Why are they here too?"

Then, at the aisle in the last row, Tang En saw a few light and smart figures bouncing around and waving to this side.

It turned out to be Zheng Xiuyan, Cui Xiuying and Lin Yuner.

Seeing Jung Soo-yeon jumping happily, Tang En wondered in his heart: "Dancing like this...doesn't it hurt? The body recovers so quickly? It seems that I can taste it again tonight..."

For the first time, Tang En was afraid that she would not be able to bear it, so he didn't dare to enjoy it to his heart's content.
