Although he had already planned these "busy things" before, this was the first time he was doing it, and he was even more enthusiastic and willing than usual.
Because he is very troubled now, more troubled than anyone else. At least that's what he felt.
Of course, in life, there must be many things to worry about. Some people worry about money, some people worry about not being handsome or beautiful enough, and some people worry about being born a boy, etc.
Chen Zaitian was completely shocked and confused by his own troubles. So now he can only use work and things to avoid and numb himself, so now he comes here - CinemaService Company. And this is also the first thing he has to do!
Cinemaservice is a Korean film production and distribution company founded in 1993 by director Kang Diaosuo. It was renamed cinemaservice in 1995. It financed, distributed and produced some of South Korea's most influential films over the past decade, building a solid foundation for the country's film industry.
Chen Zaitian doesn't care what kind of influence method it is, and what kind of solid foundation it has established for the Korean film industry. What he cares about is the movie that "cinemaservice" company is about to invest and produce and will be released in the second half of 2010. Movie.
He wants to buy it and then perform it himself.
Of course, it is impossible for him to actually buy it. He can only say that he obtained the maximum production rights of the film from the "cinemaservice" company. Then cooperate with the "cinemaservice" company to produce the film. After all, Chen Zaitian can find the money. But he didn¡¯t have the resources and ability to make a movie independently.
Of course, the process is not simple, but it is not that difficult. It took Chen Zaitian a total of two "phone calls" before he could sit down with the "cinemaservice" company and buy the production rights of the film. The two phone calls were from Bong Joon-ho and KBS TV station president Kim In-gyu.
But fortunately, the film that Chen Zaitian wants to buy the production rights for is a small-production film, and it is a film that does not have big stars in the production plan. Therefore, the "cinemaservice" company generously sold him the production rights of the film, and then accepted Chen Zaitian's proposal. Separate cooperation will only provide resources and distribution for film shooting.
From the perspective of the "cinemaservice" company, although the plot and prospects of this film seem to be good, it is not yet necessary to risk investing in production without paying double the price they paid for it. Therefore, in fact, the "cinemaservice" company was finally able to sell the production rights of this film to Chen Zaitian, not only because of the human relationship between the two "phone calls", but also because of this reason. After all, no matter what, the most solid decision is to make a profit.

?? Lee Jeong-beom can be said to be one of the new and cutting-edge directors in South Korea, and he is just one of them. Before shooting movies, he had been shooting short works. Although they were good, they were not well-known after all. It wasn't until 2006 when he filmed "Hot-Blooded Man" and received a lot of praise from the industry that he slowly made some progress in the film industry. However, I have to say that although his last film "Hot-blooded Man" was well received, it was not really a successful film in the sense of the word. Of course, he did not win the real Korean film award.
As a director. When you make a work, of course you hope to be recognized by the audience. Get praise from people. Therefore, for a time, Li Zhenfan was also very distressed.
After that, he fell silent. He spent three years studying and watching many domestic and foreign films, reading a lot of information, and finally created a new work. He renamed it "Uncle" .
The story of "Uncle" tells the story of Tae-sik (an agent) who has lived an isolated life since losing his wife accidentally. The only person who dares to come to his cold pawn shop is the little girl Xiaomei who lives next door. The two become each other's only communication Unexpectedly, one day Xiaomei's mother, who is always causing trouble, was involved in a crime and Xiaomei was kidnapped. In order to save Xiaomei, Taezhi returned to the real world to fight against the evil forces, and the true meaning he hid Identities and stories are also revealed.
This is an action movie full of emotions. Although Li Zhenfan didn't know whether this film would be successful, since he had already created it, he wanted to make it well.
Contacting the production company, confirming the actors, etc., the filming work is in full swing. Li Zhenfan hopes that the filming can officially start at the end of this year or the beginning of next year.
However, early this morning, Li Zhenfan received a call from the "cinemaservice" company that had already negotiated and was responsible for the production of "Uncle", saying that the production rights of the film had been sold to an investor. However, "cinemaservice" companyHe will still continue to cooperate as a production company to help with the production of the film, and then there is the news that the investor wants to meet with him.
Li Zhenfan didn't think anything about this. It's common for movies to be exchanged for investors or to add investors, especially for big-budget movies. There are even more real investors. As long as the film company continues to be responsible. Just make it.
Li Zhenfan came to the designated office of the "cinemaservice" company in advance and did not wait for too long. Within ten minutes, the person in charge of the "cinemaservice" company brought a man wearing a light blue tennis cap and black sunglasses. young man.
??In fact, Li Zhenfan knew who the investor was without the introduction of the "cinemaservice" company personnel, but he was indeed surprised. He did not expect that the investor was such a young man.
From the smell, he looks like he is in his twenties, probably under thirty. Li Zhenfan thought to himself.
"Hello, my name is Chen Zaitian. Nice to meet you, Director Li Zhenfan." Chen Zaitian politely took off his hat and sunglasses and bowed to Li Zhenfan to greet him.
"Hello." Li Zhenfan also responded politely.
Yes, the film Chen Zaitian wants to buy is "Uncle" in the hands of Li Zhenfan. In the past life of China, it was translated as "The Lonely Agent". This is one of the only Korean movies that Chen Zaitian has watched in his previous life, except for "My Sassy Girl", and this is also his favorite Korean movie besides "My Sassy Girl". At that time, he definitely watched this movie no less than five times.
"Uncle" to him is like the classic films we watch by Stephen Chow, Jackie Chan, Andy Lau and others, which we never tire of watching. No matter how many times it is played on the movie channel, we will still grab a chair and continue watching it carefully.
In fact, "Uncle" is not a very successful blockbuster in the sense of the word. In its previous life, although it became the highest-grossing movie in South Korea in 2010, the number of viewers was only 620. Others Not to mention, this year's "Haeundae" with 11.5 million visitors and "National Representative" with more than 8.2 million visitors are far behind.
What Chen Zaitian likes is the story contained in the film itself.
For a long time before the little girl called him "uncle", the protagonist was just a walking corpse. The protagonist and the little girl are both people who have no expectations for this world. Although the protagonist saves the little girl in the end, it is the little girl who makes the protagonist come out of his own world. In fact, it can be said that the little girl saves the protagonist.
This is a story of mutual rescue! What Chen Zaitian likes is precisely the emotion contained in it.
The original male protagonist of "Uncle" was supposed to be played by the handsome boy Won Bin. Originally, Chen Zaitian did have the intention to let Won Bin continue to star, but in the end he gave up.
And it seems to be a coincidence. According to previous reports, Won Bin discovered the script of "Uncle" through his connections during the promotion of the film "Mother" in which he participated, and then proactively approached the director of "Uncle" Li Zhenfan and asked to star in this film. A low-budget, star-less production. This also surprised Li Zhenfan. He even rejected Won Bin's request to star at first because Won Bin was too popular, but he was eventually moved by Won Bin's sincerity.
I don¡¯t know if it was because of the advent of Chen Zaitian¡¯s ¡°butterfly effect¡± that the historical trajectory of this parallel time and space was changed. Yuan Bin did not discover the script of "Uncle", which actually made Chen Zaitian breath a sigh of relief. Otherwise, Yuan Bin Bin really came to the door, he really couldn't ban the original protagonist. But now, naturally, he is the boss, producer, and actor.
After all, people are selfish. Since Chen Zaitian has decided to take this path in the entertainment industry, he must do better. If he wants to do better, he often cannot be too affectionate, not to mention that he is now facing even Yuan Bin. I haven't even met him yet, so how can I have feelings for him? The only thing I can say is that if there is a chance in the future, I will ¡®pull¡¯ Won Bin again. This time, I really have no choice but to feel sorry for him!
¡°Moreover, Chen Zaitian feels excited and happy just thinking about having the opportunity to star in his favorite movie in another world. (To be continued.
