: The seeds of ambition take root

An Shuzhen didn't say anything when she heard this, then picked out two of the scripts and put them together and said: "One is the TV series "Love Beethoven", and the other is the only movie script among all the scripts "Unfortified City". Your biggest competitor is the same person, Kim Myung-min."

"The heroine of "Unfortified City" has long been confirmed to be played by Son Ye-jin. If I were to see it, in fact, your chances of success in these two dramas are not high, because the role seems to be a older actor, and Kim Myung-min has a better advantage. Moreover, these two scripts are good scripts, but the schedules overlap, and I believe Kim Myung-min is also having a headache about this."

Li Dong mocked him: "In other words, my chances are 100%. Anyway, Kim Myung-min picks mine." An Shu-jin raised her eyebrows, "Although "Beethoven" is very classic, the big screen is different after all."

As he said that, he continued to take out the next book and said, "There is also this "Crazy" which is one of the few gambling dramas in Korean dramas. The heroine has been confirmed to be starring Han Yesse..."

Lee Donglai laughed, "Song Hye Kyo, Son Ye-jin, Han Ye-se... are all great beauties! Sister An, and there is the last brief script?"

An Shuzhen said: "The filming plan for "The Brilliant Legacy" is next year. The reason why it was shown to you so early is entirely because its script has all the characteristics of high ratings, which may trigger a ratings craze like "Yi". "After saying that, An Shuzhen calmed down and waited for Li Donglai's reply.

Lee Donglai snorted, stood up, pressed his hand on the script of "The Fraud", and pushed it out first. Then he pressed his hand on "The World They Live in". Song Hye Kyo was one of his favorite actresses... After hesitating for a moment, he pushed it out.

An Shuzhen said: "It's very good. Two were ruled out, and there were three left."

Li Donglai smiled, no longer hesitated too much, and directly picked up the only movie script.

An Shuzhen was a little surprised: "Challenging the hardest? Movies are more important than TV series, and Kim Myung-min also understands this principle."

Li Donglai said: "It seems that there is nothing to choose. Of course, you have to choose the best one. In fact, in my opinion, the script of "Unfortified City" also has loopholes. First of all, there are a few blind spots in the film. 1. Since the heroine has such a powerful bodyguard, she is easily surrounded by several opponents. 2. The twins, Shacha, can just hide in the heroine's house and wait for her to come back to take revenge, and the bodyguard appears afterwards. What can be explained here is that the bodyguard's knife hand betrayed her because the heroine and the policeman whom he secretly fell in love with. 3. The heroine made so many efforts, but the final purpose was to buy a yacht, which seemed a bit petty. 4. The whole play of the senior Sun Ye-jin seems to be a little heavier..."

An Shuzhen interrupted him and said, "Although you have made your mark in TV series, you are still a complete newcomer in the film industry. You must never say these words in front of screenwriters and directors. In the eyes of most people, you have very little experience, just a newcomer who starred in a TV series, do you know?"

Li Donglai nodded to show his understanding.

An Shuzhen continued: "Since you have chosen the most difficult script, are you ready to compete with Kim Myung-min-jun?"

Li Donglai said: "Although the script has flaws, it is also considered an excellent work in Korean movies in recent years. Excluding script factors, what I like more is the theft technique..."

"Don't worry, Sister An, I will convince Lee Sang-ki to direct it, and he will definitely choose me."

※※※

On that day, An Shuzhen arranged for Lee Donglai to visit director Lee Sang-ki.

The two of them talked for more than two hours, and An Shuzhen and others were anxious. Just when she was anxious, Lee Sang-ki had already personally sent Lee Donglai to the door, and he also patted his shoulder warmly and announced that he would play the male lead, and invited him to act as the action designer of the film.

When An Shuzhen saw this scene, she couldn't help but be surprised and couldn't stop talking. While she was confused, she also admired the young man even more. She was very puzzled about what Li Donglai had talked to Li Sang-ki, but she knew her identity. If Li Donglai didn't say it, she wouldn't ask more.

Actually, she didn't know that Li Donglai looked down on Korean action movies in his heart.

Korean fashion action movies want to learn European and American style, but they can't learn European and American big guys and muscles. The stick is a bit inappropriate. In terms of action movies, in the whole of Asia, we have to look at China.

Korean movies seem to have developed well in the past few years, with classic comedies such as "The Savage Girlfriend" and "The Beautiful Girl" that have appeared in Asia. In 2004, Kang Youshuo's film "Siwei Island" became the first film in the history of Korean films to exceed 10 million viewers. Subsequently, blockbusters continued to strive towards this goal, from "The King's Man" to "Monster", the box office myth of Korean movies has been broken and rewritten again and again.

However, last year, Korean movies seemed a bit dull or even low compared to the past. Like Chinese movies, Korean movies were also attacked by Hollywood blockbusters. When the situation was the worst, the market share of Korean domestic films was less than 20%.

So in 2008, the most urgent hope of Korean filmmakers is that domestic films can completely get rid of the predicament and wake up as soon as possible from last year's box office nightmare. From the massive investment of 7 billion in this film "Unfortified City", we can see the production team's ambitions.

In the past 2007, the most shining names on the Korean screen were Jeon Do-yeon, as well as the "Hollywood movie stars" Kim Junjin, Park Jinhee, Kim Hye-soo and Kim Tae-hee, Han Yesue, Song Hye-kyo and others who are highly praised by Koreans. This year, it seems that the "male style" has been blowing again, and big-name male stars have made a comeback one by one.

Korean pop stars such as Lee Byung-hun, Song Seung-heon, and Kwon Sang-woo will return to the local screen. The action film "Fate" jointly created by Kwon Sang-woo and Song Seung-heon, the peak showdown between the two superstars is one of the most sensational events in the Korean film industry this year.

Everything seems to be hot, but Korean action movies...

Li Donglai really doesn't like it, but he is currently in a low-level experience. Even if he wants to make his own movie, he needs to have money and capital. You are a young boy, why should others invest and act in your movie?

Thinking of this, he was even more eager to make money and hit the big screen... and also made every solid footprint for his director's dream.

His eyes were no longer in Korea, but in Asia...

Perhaps after occupying the top of Asia in the future, it may enter a higher art hall.

This seed of ambition has actually been planted in his heart. From his choice to debut in South Korea rather than China, it can be seen that his thoughts are different from others.

Perhaps when the public watches entertainment news, why does the box office of Korean movies always count based on the number of visitors? Why don’t the amount be used? In fact, counting the number of visitors avoids differences caused by inflation. For example, the ticket price of the videos in the early years is cheap, although there are many viewers, the total amount is still not as good as that of the current movies.

In South Korea, top movies have a box office of over 30 to 40 million US dollars. Thinking of the population of South Korea, you can know that South Korea's film industry is also quite developed.

More importantly, the South Korean government has a good policy for protection of local films. As long as the movie passes the censorship, it can be released in major cinemas for 100 days. This policy is the foundation that promotes the vigorous development of the Korean film industry.

This is also a reason why Li Donglai chose to debut in South Korea rather than in China. In addition, there are too many restrictions on debut in a newcomer and too complicated. South Korea has a small place but its influence is not weak. Li Donglai can also take advantage of the Korean wave when he debuts here.

The car was running all the way, and Li Donglai also kept thinking about his thoughts. The dream he wanted to realize was very grand, but in the end it was all down to one word, money!

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a little irritated and asked, "Sister An, what is the next itinerary?"

"It's the advertising shooting. Some advertisements that have been negotiated should be processed one after another at this time."

Li Donglai nodded. Advertising means having money. What he wants most now is not to rest, but to be busy.

An Shuzhen said: "There is also the invitation from "Family". At that time, the invitation was temporarily suppressed on the grounds of filming the TV series with great care. This time the TV series has been completed, and SBS sent another invitation."

"Promise them."

Now the seeds of ambition are time to take root and sprout. Li Donglai said without hesitation: "Sister An, my recent itinerary can be more dense, and I am full of energy."

"Haha, the reaction is so straightforward?"

An Shuzhen smiled, a little confused, but didn't say much. She nodded seriously and kept it in her heart.

They have equal interests, and the more money Li Donglai makes, the more she will get, so why not do it?
