Times have changed after all!

A few years ago, a five-star customer like Shen Changlin would have satisfied him at all costs...

Why is there any need for Shen Changlin to show off his strength?

They packed up nine people and sent them to the room directly!

This is called public relations.

In the overseas market, "Rogue" is facing off against "Man of Steel" and "Armageddon". Although the box office is not as good as these two, it is still very popular!

And the cost is the lowest.

In the past two years, the relationship between China and South Korea has been in the honeymoon period, and there have been various cooperations between Chinese and Korean films...

Let’s put it this way, CJ’s CGV theater chain has more than 40 theaters in mainland China!

CJ started cooperation with Bona in 2010, but unfortunately Bona was too weak...

They have studied the Chinese market and Changlin Film and Television is the best.

After cooperating with "Thieves", CJ can definitely use Shen Changlin to enter the Chinese market!

Moreover, they have also inquired about Shen Changlin's net worth, which is said to be no less than 2 billion US dollars...

This is too scary!

Must have a good relationship...

After asking about his habits, I know that he is not a rigid person and will not be stingy with his stick...

You should definitely inquire about it. Wouldn’t it be embarrassing if it turns out to be self-defeating?

So, here’s a hint—it’s a national girl group after all!

But after hinting, it's just you and me.

Shen Changlin felt like he was on the battlefield—a Korean beauty!

Both of them are very enthusiastic...

The overwhelming passion meets the fanatical enthusiasm, like a violent storm.

There is just a language barrier, after all, the translator is not there...

…

In fact, there is nothing praiseworthy about Korean movies!

This is true. Korean filmmakers want to learn from the film industry model of their father's country, and they are also humbly sending various directors and actors to find ways to squeeze into Hollywood to learn. In recent years, commercial films have indeed made progress...

I have found my own model: anti-social, anti-government, black...

The highly praised "Memories of Murder", "Oldboy", "The Crucible", "Sowon", "The Defender", and "New World" are actually leftovers from European and American movies!

Film is an art, in which texture, composition, tone, scenery, script, etc. are all forms of artistic expression.

Moreover, from a cultural and artistic perspective, Korean movies are nothing more than that!

From a global perspective, it doesn't matter whether he is there or not. The only thing worthy of praise is that he was not defeated by Hollywood...

Even within Asia, in terms of awards and global box office, there are Chinese films;

Talking about history and big names, there are Japanese movies;

In terms of output and audience, there is a third brother;

It’s about the fresh style of literature and art of riding a horse, and there are also Iranian movies.

When will it be Korean movies’ turn to have a say?

I don’t understand why so many people hold Korean movies up so high!

As for "Parasite" winning the Oscar, I really have to thank Comrade Jianguo - if it weren't for Comrade Jianguo's series of scandalous actions after he came to power, which led to the confrontation between the lower class and the upper class of the European and American people, the story framework of "Parasite" would have been just another plot in Europe and the United States. A curious little Korean movie…

But we can also see the ‘keen’ vision of Korean filmmakers.

However, Shen Changlin couldn't make "Parasite" because he couldn't understand what it was like for a family of four not to be able to find a job...

Back to the subject, it was a rare trip to Seoul, and Shen Changlin planned to take a casual tour.

I won’t go to places like Gyeongbokgung Palace and Gwanghwamun Square – there are attractions like these with a longer history in any city in the country!

He is going to visit Myeongdong...

By the way, those two women will also appear in "Thieves" as supporting roles!

Shen Changlin is not the kind of man who refuses to accept credit even after eating it. As a human being, you have to be trustworthy.

…

Passing by a cinema, Shen Changlin walked in and saw the poster of "The Band of Thieves". It felt quite novel. He took a photo of himself with the poster and posted it on Weibo with the text: First time in another country. Seeing the poster of my own movie! It feels so amazing!

A fan immediately commented below: "Is it in Korea?"

"Yes, Seoul..."

"The Korean box office of "The Band of Thieves" is quite good. I heard that it has exceeded 2.6 million moviegoers!"

"...It has nothing to do with me. The overseas distribution of this movie is all handed over to Sony Columbia."

"Korean movie posters are quite normal. You should really see Japan's posters..."

This fan posted a Japanese poster of "The Band of Thieves" - Liang Jiahui holds four cards in his hand, each card corresponding to a character!

The focus is on the background: banknotes scattered all over the sky...

Shen Changlin couldn't help but sigh: "What a great brain!"

"How much is the box office in Japan?" "It's not great, it seems like it has a box office of 1 million US dollars..."

Sitting on the rest chair, Shen Changlin watched the discussions among fans and occasionally replied...

About ten minutes later, I felt someone sitting next to me. He tightened his hat and stood up to leave. Then he heard a voice: "Is it Director Shen Changlin? I am your fan, can I take a photo with you?"

The voice sounded familiar. When I looked up, it was... Yang Xiaomi!

He was surprised: "You...why are you here?"

"I'm here to travel!"

Shen Changlin was speechless: "Stop talking nonsense, are you willing to spend time traveling? Are you here to find me?"

"...There is nothing romantic about what you say. We are destined to meet thousands of miles apart!"

Yang Xiaomi looked at him with a smile, and Shen Changlin couldn't help but feel something in his heart: "Okay... let's go, I'll treat you to dinner!"

…

Where did this chance encounter come from?

Yang Xiaomi learned that Shen Changlin was going to South Korea early in the morning, so she originally thought of calling him and making an appointment...

It's not appropriate. She has just announced her relationship. No matter how she thinks about it, she will definitely not agree to it!

So I secretly bought a ticket to Seoul by myself, and then followed Shen Changlin's Weibo to find it bit by bit...

I originally thought that Seoul is not that big, so I would meet him by chance soon...

It's really not that big, Seoul only covers an area of ​​605.25 square kilometers.

For example, the area of ​​Beijing is 16,410 square kilometers, the capital city is 6,340.5 square kilometers, and even Shenzhen has 1,997.47 square kilometers!

However, Seoul has 25 districts under its jurisdiction, and the population density is too high.

After searching for a day, I couldn't find Shen Changlin's address. He posted on Weibo in the morning: I'm going to Myeongdong today...

Then she followed him, and then watched him send it to the cinema...

So, the chance encounter came!

Shen Changlin didn't know this, but he also knew that she must have a purpose.

Sister Mi, when have you ever seen her do useless things?

He actually put down his work and came to Korea to find him!

However, when they first met, he didn't want to talk about work and asked, "What do you want to eat?"

“Barbeque and military hot pot…”

"I can understand the barbecue, but why do you want to eat military hot pot?"

"I watch Korean dramas where both the male and female protagonists love to eat this stuff..."

Shen Changlin was amused and popularized the origin of Korean military hotpot - during the period of resistance to U.S. aggression and aid to Korea, a large number of U.S. troops were stationed in South Korea. Because the U.S. military was wealthy and had sufficient logistical supplies, those ham sausages, luncheon meats, etc. were thrown away when they expired, but The people in South Korea were hungry, so they picked up the food thrown away by the US military. Since the food they picked up was relatively small, they put it in a pot and cooked it together. They also added some kimchi and hot sauce for seasoning and to cover some of the food. The smell of expired food led to the birth of this special hot pot. Since we picked up items from the troops and ate them back, it was called military hot pot.

This was the first time Yang Xiaomi heard about this, and she was a little surprised: "Then why do they promote this kind of food so much?"

Shen Changlin waved his hand: "What's the point? You don't know Koreans. Do you know about the 2002 World Cup?"

"...I know, South Korea defeated Italy, and Spain took fourth place!"

"Look at the comments in South Korea. The whole South Korea is in a carnival, completely ignoring the abuse and accusations from around the world..."

The key is that a domestic commentator expressed the sentiments of countless fans after South Korea reached the semi-finals: "This is not the glory of Asian football."

Then something unbelievable happened, and the move subsequently led to protests from the Korean Embassy.

That a national institution resorted to diplomacy in response to a comment by a commentator speaks volumes about the country's mentality: Don't let others judge what you have done.
