My girlfriend is an idol

In Lee Hyun-chul's view, today's Korean movies are following the same old path as HK movies.

Because the market is small, most local filmmakers are not enterprising.

On the one hand, they shouted about the rise of Korean films and the official tearing up of the film quota, on the other hand, they were indifferent to the invasion of Hollywood films.

The subject matter can only be rooted in the minority, such as the science fiction blockbusters that fans all over the world like, but they can't make a single popcorn movie.

It can enter the North American market and let more people overseas know about the works of Korean films. A few years later, there will be only one "Parasite".

Because no one can write a script for a science fiction film, it is difficult to get investment.

So far, Korea has only produced a really successful science fiction film like "Han River Monster". After that, Bong Joon-ho has never made a similar movie.

"Is it "Interstellar Dummy Tire"? I have heard of this movie before."

Originally thought Jeff Jones just listened to him complaining, but his reaction surprised Li Xianzhe.

"I have studied the history of film development in Asian countries for a period of time, in order to find a way to make DC rise from the film development process of these countries and regions. There is one thing I agree with Lee.

Whether it’s HK movies, Korean movies, or RB movies, the reason they can’t make sci-fi movies is that they lack the cultural soil rooted in sci-fi movies. I remember that sci-fi culture was not born in the East in the first place. It is the myth in the eyes of you and the East. There is a big difference."

Speaking of this, Jeff Jones said, "I once went to HK to investigate. During that time, through a friend of HK, I met a well-known writer over there, his name is Ni Quan.

His works are said to occupy a very important position in the science fiction world of China, and he should be the first person."

"Ni Box?" Li Xianzhe was very surprised when he mentioned this person.

He has stayed in HK several times, but he has never seen this person who is called one of the "Hong Kong Four Talents" by the outside world.

However, when I was a student, I read many of his works to pass the time.

It can also be said that Li Xianzhe's understanding of Asia's science fiction film culture is largely inspired by Ni Quan's work.

"Indeed, taking Ni Quan's work as an example, his work is more fantasy than science fiction.

I think some things cannot be regarded as science fiction works because they lack real scientific rationality.

As for HK movies or Korean movies, they are shooting a lot of semi-sci-fi or pseudo-sci-fi themes, and they have an "irrational consciousness.""

Li Xianzhe cited an example in the history of HK film to Jeff Jones, such as the alien theme that is very familiar to everyone now.

"When dealing with such a subject, Westerners are good at using rigorous and rigorous stories to justify themselves, giving it a reasonable beginning, development, and finally rising to the salvation of human nature as the end.

Many of the HK movies or Korean movies are nonsense.

In 1976, HK had a movie called "Guan Gong vs. Aliens", which took out Guan Yu from the "Three Kingdoms" culture that Asians are very familiar with, and killed the aliens with a blue dragon knife.

This situation was very common in HK movies at the time, but HK people watched them with gusto. The aesthetic point of view was far from that of contemporary Hollywood audiences, showing looseness and randomness."

Therefore, after the beginning of the new century and for many years, the output of science fiction films in Asian movies has always been a small part. What can be regarded as high-scoring works is to find pearls in the sand.

It has to be said that this is a kind of sadness. The film market in the three regions of HK, South Korea, and RB has already become saturated and mature.

Even if the insiders are self-sufficient, they can meet the watching needs of local audiences, but compared to the prosperous Korean movies and RB movies, they frequently appear in Western awards ceremonies or on big screens.

It seems that apart from kung fu movies and martial arts movies, HK movies have fallen behind to the point that there are no other subjects to shoot.

The older generation of movie stars dominate the resources of the entire film industry, and the newcomers have no early days. From this point of view, the death of HK movies is only a matter of time.

When the older generation of films and televisions all left...

But as Jeff Jones talked from science fiction movies to action movies, Li Xianzhe thought of a movie that would be released in the United States next year.

Not surprisingly, it should be filming at this time. He asked Jeff Jones about the film, but in his heart he wanted to negotiate with the producer and buy the copyright of the film to shoot himself.

In his eyes, Korean movies lack science fiction films, but they also lack decent action films, and he wanted to participate in the shooting and production of a movie to make Empire Entertainment's movie area shine a long time ago.

Although "Slaying the Wolf" is good, it is an HK movie after all, and the cultural identity may not be acceptable to Europeans and Americans.

Therefore, the movie he thought of might also make Empire Entertainment one of the best "blockbuster producers" in South Korea.

Prior to this, CJEM had always occupied too much quota in the Korean local film market, and Lee Hyun-che felt that he had to plan for the future.

"Agent movie? I never heard of a new type of agent movie in Hollywood that will be released next year."

Jeff Jones scratched his head. "And Lee, it's not my confidence that beats you. In Hollywood, no one has been shooting a movie about'secret agents' for many years.

You know, apart from the "007 series" and the "Mission Impossible" series, or the "Bourne Shadows" series, there are very few movies on the subject of secret agents that are popular."

Jeff Jones opened his hands, because of the popularity of 007 and the Mission Impossible series.

As a result, many fans now only look at the word "agent" and roughly guess the plot trend of these agent movies. It is not an exaggeration to say that this theme has been badly filmed.

Similarly, there are also many special agent-themed movies in the East, such as "Uncle", the translation in the HK and TW regions is called "Guyong Agent".

In fact, in the few years that the "007" and "Mission Impossible" series have continuously launched new works, Hollywood has produced two very popular "agent" series.

One is "Ace Agent" starring Van Diesel, and the other is "Ace Agent" by "Uncle Face" Collinfels and Talen Aphildhon.

The question that Li Xianzhe is targeting at this moment is "Ace Agent", because the film is produced and produced by Twentieth Century Fox.

As one of the rivals of Warner Bros., the filming of this kind of movie started, and the actors who joined are all first-class.

But Jeff Jones told him with certainty that Hollywood was not shooting this movie, unless the actors involved were all influential.

Although Li Xianzhe didn't say anything on the surface, his heart was filled with ecstasy.

If Jeff Jones had not deceived him, then he could create and shoot this movie himself.

Less than an hour after Jeff Jones left, Li Xianzhe received a fax in his house.

To be honest, he is really inferior to Jeff Jones in terms of contacts in the American film industry.
