Entertainment Empire System
Chapter 626: Zhang Yimou’s caution
Jiang Digui? One of the most famous directors in South Korea, his status in South Korea is on the same level as Zhang Yimou's status in China and Takeshi Kitano's status in Japan. A director like this needs his own help.
Ye Ming was stunned for a moment, seemed to have thought of something and said: "Has the conflict between the Korean government and the entertainment industry not been resolved yet? I heard that Director Jiang Digui launched a skinhead movement last year. This does not mean that the film quota issue has been settled. Is it settled? Is there something unexpected that can't happen?"
Because of the film quota issue, Korean stars and the government have been fighting fiercely. Celebrities in the entertainment industry, led by Kang Digui, launched a skinhead movement to protest the government's inaction. This was quite influential last year.
Kitano Takeshi said with a solemn expression in his eyes: "Well, of course, the Korean government made some concessions last year, but some people in Hollywood were a little unhappy about this matter.
Therefore, things have had some twists and turns, and therefore some external support is needed. After much deliberation, Jiang Digui found me, hoping that I could come forward to provide some support to my Korean colleagues. I think, if this matter is As for the issue of film quotas, we in Japan are still not as experienced as you in China. If you, Ye Sang, support it, I think it will have a very big effect. "
When it comes to imported films, only one company, China Film Group Corporation, can do this in China. The rest are powerful pirated discs. No one else in the remaining film companies has this legal qualification. Therefore, when it comes to protecting its own country's film market, China is actually the most powerful.
Of course, this is also because Japan and South Korea are both little brothers of the United States. Naturally, there are a lot of Japanese and Korean traitors who want to sell their own country's interests to please the United States.
But the Korean government seems to have gone too far this time. Therefore, there was a large-scale protest by people in the entertainment industry. Only then did the skinhead movement come into being last year. It clearly meant that the matter had come to an end. Who knows what is happening in Hollywood? Some people are unhappy. China has a policy to limit how many movies it can import in a year. Forget it, if you can’t offend China, can’t you deal with South Korea?
As soon as this man from Hollywood initiated a relationship, the Korean government immediately surrendered. As a result, things went back and forth. At this time, Korean artists such as Jiang Digui needed a lot of support. Japan's Kitano Takeshi and China's Zhang Yimou were all attracted. object.
But Zhang Yimou was busy with China's Olympic bid at this time. He simply said that he would not take such a thing to heart. Therefore, in such a good situation, they wanted to find someone to support them. Ye Ming It's a good choice.
This at least reflects the attitude of the Chinese entertainment industry. Attitude is a very important issue.
Driving the American father back to Hollywood and becoming the master of his own country is a wish of those with lofty ideals in the Korean entertainment industry.
At this time, Takeshi Kitano strongly supported Ye Ming's "Infernal Affairs". One was that "Infernal Affairs" did have reasons to be supported. It was a good film, a pretty good film. Also, Takeshi Kitano also hoped that Ye Ming would be able to make "Infernal Affairs". Ming owed a favor and asked Ye Ming to come forward to support the bald head movement in South Korea. The current situation of Jiang Digui and the others is not optimistic.
Ye Ming hesitated for a moment, but did not agree immediately. This matter was too involved, and if he was not careful, he would cause considerable trouble to himself.
Finally, Ye Ming thought about it for a while before saying: "The matter is not unsolvable, but Mr. Kitano, you also know that if I express my voice, it will definitely bring some trouble to myself. After all, Director Jiang Digui is facing If the Korean government is not careful, it will be even more difficult for me to enter the Korean market in the future. It is easy to support it, but do I need to take risks?"
This is said very tactfully, but in reality, it means that Jiang Digui and I are not very familiar, and I am not even very familiar with you Kitano Takeshi, so I can't easily take risks for you two.
At this time, Takeshi Kitano showed a relaxed look on his face. It would be best if Ye Ming could directly negotiate the conditions. Zhang Yimou didn't actually say that he was very busy. He was definitely busy with the Olympic bid, but Zhang Yimou was actually Jiang Digui's request was directly rejected.
Because the relationship between the two people is not that good. Zhang Yimou didn't need to deliberately care about Jiang Digui's feelings.
Lao Zhang has the status of a national teacher in China, so he naturally has his own confidence. He really doesn't care about the Korean market.
But Ye Ming is also so cunning, which makes Kitano Takeshi very surprised. In Kitano Takeshi's opinion, young people like Ye Ming should have the feeling of being young and energetic. When he heard about the bald head movement in South Korea, he should be so... Filled with righteous indignation, it is only right for the angry youth to side with the actors.
But seeing Ye Ming's expression, Kitano Takeshi felt a certain fear of Ye Ming while relaxing. Ye Ming was too cunning.
Therefore, Takeshi Kitano was not very happy at this time, but said in a serious tone: "It's great to be in China. Directors from your country still envy us. In fact, directors from both our countries envy you equally. In In your country, there are very big restrictions on importing movies. For example, Terminator Part 2 has not entered the Chinese market at all. This is something we envy.
It’s ridiculous that some of your directors are clamoring to say they envy us. This is definitely putting the cart before the horse. When Director Jiang Digui and I talked about this, we both envied you Chinese directors.
If Ye Sang comes to Korea, he will know that what I said is right.
Director Kang Di Kyu said, if Ye Sang you can support their bald head movement, then at this time, I guarantee that your future movies will not have any trouble with the Screen Actors Guild when they enter Korea.
Moreover, South Korea will give top-level support to the premiere of Infernal Affairs. Jiang Digui and several other leaders of the skinhead movement will go to the premiere to express their support for your movie. Thinking about it, this support is very great. "
The result of this matter makes Ye Ming very satisfied. Jiang Digui and other leaders of the skinhead movement, those directors and big-name actors are still quite influential in Korea and can attract a large part of the audience. I will go to the cinema to watch the movie Infernal Affairs. Therefore, Ye Ming was quite satisfied with this answer.
After thinking about it for a while, he finally nodded and said, "Well, okay, I'll do my best on this matter. I'll see what kind of support they need when I go to South Korea."
Although Ye Ming did not fully agree, if he could say it to such a degree, it would be quite remarkable. Therefore, Kitano Takeshi was also very happy at this time, and he was quite satisfied that things could progress to this point. Therefore, he bowed and said, "Then, I'll leave everything to Ye Sang."
After discussing this issue, Ye Ming said with some curiosity: "Mr. Kitano, there is one thing I don't understand. I hope you can clear up the doubts in my mind. The bald head movement in South Korea also has a certain connection with your country, right? ?”
Even if Kitano Takeshi had a good relationship with Jiang Digui, he couldn't commit such a crime to ask Ye Ming for support from Jiang Digui. Jiang Digui was not his son, so he couldn't commit such an effort.
Therefore, the only explanation at this time is that under such circumstances, the bald head movement led by Jiang Digui is inextricably linked to Takeshi Kitano, and even to the Japanese entertainment industry.
Kitano Wu immediately fell into deep thought for a while. Ye Ming's words could be said to have deeply hurt his heart.
At this time, Kitano Takeshi fell into a period of emotion, and finally struggled to crawl out of the painful memories, calmed down the anger in his heart, and then said: "This matter, if we talk about it, If there is a certain connection, then there is nothing wrong with it. The current situation in Korea is just a replica of our Japanese entertainment industry. Some of the situations in our entertainment industry are worse than those in South Korea. However, the situation in our entertainment industry is worse than that in Korea. People cannot unite, which makes me very sad.
Therefore, I want to see how far Director Kang Je-gyu can go in Korea, and then see if our Japanese entertainment industry can and cannot use this film quota. If it can, it will be very helpful to our domestic film market in Japan. This is my little selfishness.
During his lifetime, Kurosawa-kun always said that he wanted to get rid of the control of Hollywood capital and allow our Japanese film industry to have a place in the world film market. However, he died before the start, which made the hero burst into tears. "
Japanese literature is inherited from Chinese culture. Therefore, when speaking these two lines of poetry, Takeshi Kitano did not feel any harshness at all, but rather he integrated his own infinite sadness into them.
Ye Ming could clearly feel this. Although the countries are different, and even some positions are different, Kitano Takeshi is not generally domineering on the set. However, at such a time, Ye Ming can clearly feel that Kitano Takeshi's emotion You can truly understand what kind of director this is, and he feels that he is dedicated to the Japanese film industry.
No matter what, Kitano Takeshi has such a spirit, it is worthy of admiration.
Ye Ming said very decisively this time: "In this case, I wish Mr. Kitano all the best and his dreams come true as soon as possible."
This is a blow to Hollywood movies. In the Asia-Pacific region, at least Ye Ming believes that this is a consensus for everyone. For this kind of action, Ye Ming feels that if you can support it, it is a good choice. (To be continued)
