Chapter 1655 Parasites

I just heard Feng Junhao introduce the project "Okja", which can be regarded as an adventure science fiction film. It probably tells a love or friendship story between a little girl full of truth, kindness and beauty in the world and a mutant pig.

This story is not a story that can be produced with millions of dollars. After all, it involves CG special effects, and it cannot be played without tens of millions.

Feng Junhao also said that at the beginning, he only prepared a budget of 50 million U.S. dollars, but now he has temporarily added 10 million U.S. dollars, which means that Netflix is ​​rich and powerful, and dares to make such a big bet on a Korean.

"Actually, I am also very contradictory. I also have a movie theater plot in my heart. I think that only on the big screen of the movie theater can I best feel the emotions conveyed by the color of the picture.

But for the release of this new format, I have already installed a Dolby sound system at home, but I played some of the clips I made at home, and found that the effect was still not as good as that of the cinema, but Netflix is ​​the investor, and they confirmed this. I have no right to change this distribution method, I can only force myself to accept the modern changing trend and try to change.

The same contradiction also lies in the shooting method. Before "Okja", I always insisted on shooting on film, thinking that the chemical effect of film has a unique texture.

But I know that the era of film is over. In addition to personal hobbies, all the finished films that will be released to the market will be shot with digital cameras. I was not used to it at first, but I figured it out after using it. It is enough to produce aesthetics that conform to the technology. In the end, these technologies are all for the story and the characters, and there is no need to just stick to the habits of the past.

However, if I have a chance in the future, I still want to make another film with a sense of preserving history. This may be my last obsession. "

Yang Cheng echoed, "There's nothing wrong with clinging to the past. At most, you'll be scolded for being rigid, but you can avoid the possibility of failure to the greatest extent. It's because everyone is afraid of failure, even people with crazy gambling genes in their bones. I am also afraid of failure, and any efforts made to avoid failure are worthy of understanding. Of course, don’t break the law, this is the premise.”

This sentence hit Feng Junhao's smile, and he stroked the curly hair on his head, "Mr. Yang is very humorous, it's a pity you don't make movies, otherwise you will definitely create classic lines and scenes."

This great director is really inseparable from the movie.

Yang Cheng could only say, "Originally, I meant to cooperate with director Bong Joon-ho on his first project after returning to Korea, but now it seems that we are late."

Feng Junhao hesitated for a moment and said, "I also hope to cooperate with you. In fact, it is not impossible. I have a book in my hand, which has been perfected one after another since 3 years ago. The story is about a family. There are four vagrants in

The whole family was idle and doing nothing all day long, until one day the eldest son of the family went to the rich man's house to apply for a tutor through a forged certificate, and was lucky enough to get the job. Many accidents.

At the beginning, I wanted to describe the lives of these two families in a symmetrical way, but as the script improved, I found that the poor family was more worth writing, so I have the current version of the script. The project is called "Parasite". "

If you didn’t hear the introduction and only listened to the name, you would think it was a disaster movie, in which a large number of parasites invaded human homes, and then under the leadership of the protagonist, they overcame the disaster and resumed their lives.

But with the introduction as a foreshadowing, Yang Cheng knew that this was a pun, implying or metaphorizing something.

Not to mention one-sidedness, the core of this story is not new. There have been films with similar plots in the past, but in South Korea, this kind of story about rich and poor can resonate with the audience the most. It is either civilians fighting bureaucrats, or It's common people versus rich people, anyway, ordinary people can always find a sense of substitution.

Such a story, coupled with Feng Junhao's skill, cannot guarantee the commercial box office, but at least it can win a wave of awards.

Korean genre films have become frequent visitors to major European film festivals in recent years. It’s not because of how good they are, but because they dare to make them. No matter how cruel the subject matter is, they can write it. The important thing is that they have figured it out. The tastes of the major film festivals, if you prescribe the right medicine, isn't the medicine that cures the disease?

"I voted~"

"what?"

Feng Junhao obviously didn't react, this is too hasty, he decided to invest just after hearing the outline of the story?

Well, this feeling is quite good, Feng Junhao suddenly felt a little floating~

"If you haven't found an investor for this project, why not leave it to us. It goes without saying that CY Entertainment has the strength in local distribution. Don't forget that behind CY is New Era Films in the United States. We have the strength of global distribution. As long as the quality Excellent, we can definitely hit the awards of major film festivals."

Yang Cheng is now more and more proficient at drawing pancakes, and he just opens his mouth, but his pancake looks easy to eat.

Bong Joon-ho quickly said, "Thank you very much for Mr. Yang's trust, but my current focus is on the project "Okja". I'm not used to doing two things at once. At least I have to wait until the movie is released before I can consider starting a new project." .”

Yang Cheng waved his hand, "I know you have your own shooting rhythm, don't worry, I won't interfere, but let's settle the matter first, and let us help with the preparation, which can save you a lot of time."

Feng Junhao couldn't help being moved, but he didn't rush to let go, "This project doesn't use special effects, so the investment won't be too big~"

Before he finished speaking, Yang Cheng waved his hand like a rich and willful old man, "Let's just say a number~"

It's not that Feng Junhao has never seen a local tyrant, but this is the first time someone as fresh and refined as Yang Cheng. After thinking for a long time, he tentatively said, "10 million US dollars? I haven't made a detailed budget, but based on past experience, no will exceed that number."

Yang Cheng frowned slightly. The production cost of a non-commercial blockbuster film is 10 million US dollars, even if it is not included in the publicity, it needs at least 50 million US dollars at the box office to make a small profit. High, $50 million should be recoverable.

Think of it as a favor, and the significance of attracting a great god in the Korean film industry is not weaker than joining Liu Zaishi.

"Okay, that's it. My only request is to use actors under my company's name as much as possible. I mean supporting roles. The leading role will naturally have to be decided by you, the director."

This request is not difficult, Feng Junhao has been in the industry for so long, and he is not a lofty person, so this reasonable request must be met.
