Chapter 1625 Movies about special agents
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 are calling for the rise of Korean movies and the official fight to fight for movie quotas, but on the other hand, they are indifferent to the invasion of Hollywood movies.
In terms of subject matter, they can only take root in niches, such as science fiction blockbusters that movies that all world fans like, but they can't shoot any popcorn movies.
It can enter the North American market and let more overseas people know about Korean movies. In a few years, 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, South Korea has only produced a truly successful science fiction film like "Hanjiang Monster", and since then, Bong Joon-ho has never made a similar movie again.
"Is "Interstellar Blunt"? I've heard of this movie before."
Originally, he thought Jeff Jones didn't speak but just listened to him complaining, but his reaction surprised Lee Hyun-cheol.
"I have studied the history of film development in Asian countries for a period of time in order to find ways to make DC rise from the film development history of these countries and regions. One thing I agree with Lee's point of view.
Whether it is HK movies, Korean movies, or RB movies, the reason why they cannot make science fiction movies is because they lack the cultural soil rooted in science fiction movies. I remember that science fiction culture was not born in the East at the beginning, and there is a big difference between it and the myths in the eyes of you orientals."
Speaking of this, Jeff Jones said, "I went to HK for investigation. During this period, through a friend of HK, I met a very famous writer there, named Ni Fu.
His works are said to occupy a very important position in the science fiction world in China and should be the first person.”
"Ni Fu?" Li Xianzhe was very surprised that he mentioned this person.
He has stayed in HK several times, but has never seen this person who is known by the outside world as one of the "Four Talents of HK".
However, when he was a student, he had read many of his works to pass the time.
It can also be said that Lee Hyun-zhe's understanding of the culture of science fiction films in Asia was largely inspired by Ni Fu's works.
"Indeed, taking Ni Fu's works as an example, his works are more fantasy than science fiction.
I think some things cannot be considered science fiction works because they lack real scientific rationality.
As for HK movies or Korean movies, they are shooting many semi-science fiction or pseudoscience fiction movies, and they themselves have an "irrational consciousness."
Lee Hyun-cheol gave Jeff Jones an example in the history of HK movies, such as the alien theme that people nowadays are very familiar with.
"While dealing with such a subject, Westerners are good at using meticulous and rigorous stories to justify themselves, give them a reasonable beginning, development, and finally rise to the redemption of human nature as the end.
Many HK movies or Korean movies have a nonsense color.
In 1976, HK had a movie called "Guan Gong vs. Aliens", which brought out Guan Yu from the "Three Kingdoms" culture that Asians are very familiar with, and killed the aliens with a blue dragon sword.
This situation is very common in HK movies at that time, but HK people are interested in watching it. The aesthetic view is far from that of Hollywood audiences of the same era, which shows looseness and randomness."
Therefore, after the beginning of the new century and even many years, the production of science fiction films in Asian films has always been only a small part, and those who can be regarded as high-scoring works are even more looking for pearls in the sand.
I have to say that this is a kind of sadness. The film markets in HK, South Korea and RB have long been saturated and matured.
Even if insiders are self-sufficient, they can meet the movie-watching needs of local audiences. However, compared with the prosperity of Korean movies and RB movies, they frequently appear at Western awards ceremonies or on the big screen.
HK movies seem to have fallen behind in addition to kung fu and martial arts films, so there is no other theme to shoot.
The older generation of movie stars dominate the resources of the entire film industry, and the newcomers have no chance to make a comeback. From this point of view, the death of HK movies is only a matter of time.
When all the older generation of films and TV series left...
However, as he talked about action movies with Jeff Jones from science fiction movies, Lee Hyun-cheol thought of a movie that will be released in the United States next year.
If nothing unexpected happens, he should be filming at this time. He asked Jeff Jones about the movie, but in his heart he wanted to negotiate with the producer and buy the copyright of the movie and shoot it himself.
In his eyes, Korean movies lack science fiction films, but also decent action films. He wanted to personally participate in the shooting and production of a movie area that empires to shine through the Imperial Entertainment.
Although "Shapo Wolf" is good, it is an HK movie after all, and cultural identity is not necessarily acceptable to Europeans and Americans.
So the movies he thought of might also make Empire Entertainment one of the top "blockbuster producers" in South Korea from now on.
Before this, CJEM had always dominated the excessive quota of the Korean local film market, and Lee Hyun-cheol felt that he had to make plans for the future.
"Agent movies? I've never heard of any new Agent movies in Hollywood that will be released next year."
Jeff Jones scratched his head, "And Lee, it's not me to hit your confidence. No one has been filming a 'Agent' theme in Hollywood for many years.
You know, apart from the "007 Series" and "Mission Impossible" series, or the "Spy Shadows" series, there are few movies with popular agents."
Jeff Jones spread his hands out of the popularity of the 007 and Mission Impossible series.
As a result, many movie fans nowadays only look at the word "agent" and roughly guess the plot direction of these agent movies. It is not an exaggeration to say that this kind of subject has been filmed.
Similarly, there are many films on the theme of agents in the East, such as "Uncle", which is translated in HK and TW areas called "Lonely Agent".
In fact, in the years when the "007" and "Mission: Impossible" series were constantly released, two very popular "Agents" series were born in Hollywood.
One is "The Extreme Agent" starring Vin Diesel, and the other is "The Agent" by "Uncle Face" Colin Fells and Taren Ezzothon.
What Lee Hyun-chul is asking about at this moment is "Ace Agent", because the production and production company of this movie is 20th Century Fox.
As one of Warner Bros., when filming such a movie starts, all the actors joined are first-class.
But Jeff Jones told him with certainty that there was no film in Hollywood, unless all the actors involved were in a low-level position.
Although Lee Hyun-chul said nothing on the surface, he felt ecstasy inside.
If Jeff Jones hadn't deceived him, then he could have created this movie himself and shot it.
Less than an hour after Jeff Jones left, a fax was received in Lee Hyun-cheol's house.
