Many people say that the Korean restrictions are mainly aimed at broadcasting on satellite TV and video websites, and theater movies involving Korean artists can be released as usual...

Yes, this is correct!

But after THAAD, imported films from South Korea have become hard to find. More importantly, Korean artists coming to the mainland will have an impact on promotion and copyright sales.

Actors cannot come to the mainland to promote.

For example: "Battle of the God of Cookery", Zheng Yonghe only went to Hong Kong and Macau to promote the film, but did not come to the mainland to promote...

Did he not want to?

The main reason is that objective conditions do not allow it...

Since then, the China-South Korea co-production agreement has become a piece of waste paper!

This is the future situation!

In fact, most of the Sino-Korean co-productions either use popular Korean male stars paired with mainland Chinese female stars. The goal is very clear, relying on the male star's high popularity in China to attract fans to buy...

It’s a bit embarrassing. The actual purchasing power of fans of famous Korean stars on Weibo in China, especially for movies, is very poor at the box office...

The movie starring Park Chanyeol in EXO, which is known as the top Korean entertainment company, still plays a star, and the box office only reached over 70 million.

Or use a well-known Korean director with Chinese actors...

In most cases, the box office is embarrassing!

In fact, most Korean filmmakers who come to China to seek development are not of high quality.

Top directors and top actors are more willing to go to Hollywood.

There are rumors in the industry that a Korean filmmaker, Mr. Li, claims to be the CEO of a Korean film and television company, and is currently helping Korean screenwriters find Chinese film and television companies to cooperate with.

After several phone calls, Mr. Li asked for labor fees and threatened that if he did not pay, he would discredit the company in the entire Korean film and television industry, making it difficult for them to survive in the Korean film industry.

Please note that no project-related topics have been discussed at this time.

And the labor fee was only three thousand yuan...

In fact, it’s not just Chinese capital; South Korea’s second-, third- and even fourth-rate directors and screenwriters also see their own way out.

Some people come to China with scripts that cannot be sold in their home countries and projects that cannot be filmed, and they rely on some people's superstition of South Korea to find a way out...

Are these people superstitious?

It's quite superstitious - there's a lot of hot money pouring into the industry, and there aren't that many experienced directors at all. Most of the well-known directors have fixed partners. Even novice directors who have some conditions will choose capable producers.

,issuer…

After all, the film industry is an industry that pays great attention to relationships.

For novice players, it is better to invest in a well-known Korean director than to invest in a newcomer who does not know what to do...

In 2014, the "China-Korea Film Co-production Agreement" was signed, confirming that co-productions between China and South Korea can enjoy the same treatment as domestic films in both countries.

Then, Sino-Korean co-productions were like dumplings, with as many as 24 confirmed co-productions in 2015 alone!

After the success of "Treasure Hunting League", it strengthened the confidence of many people...

Now "Treasure League 2" is another success.

What does it mean?

There is a future for China-South Korea co-production!

At least the IP of "Treasure Hunting League" is fine...

Gang-robber-type films are quite popular in the markets of both countries, including the Southeast Asian market.

The story of the second part has ended...

But basically without exception, this genre is all about visual effects blockbusters + handsome men and beautiful celebrities, piling money into it, and then earning more money.

Just make up a new story and keep going - there will be money to be made!

"Fast and Furious" is obviously over, but it still made an eighth and ninth installment, and even developed a spin-off series...

Here comes the question, not to mention whether "Season 3" can be released, if the box office is really good and even becomes a phenomenon-level movie, then... wouldn't it be a slap in the face and restricted to South Korea?

Little brother, what's the matter with you?

The boss is restricting Korea, but you can just do a Sino-Korean co-production and it still sells well?

Why, are you dissatisfied with the policy?

However, it took a lot of effort to build the IP of "Treasure Hunting League", and Shen Changlin couldn't bear to abolish it directly. After thinking about it, he said: "Go and contact Dongbao Films..."

Yang Fan was confused: "Dongbao? You want to cooperate with Nippon?"

"Sino-Japanese co-production...The Japanese benzene market is not smaller than the Korean market...and it is very suitable for adding reasoning elements!" By the way, he also added: "Masami Nagasawa, Masato Sakai, Teruyuki Kagawa, Yui Aragaki, Satomi Ishihara, all of them I’m calling! I’m going to direct the third part myself!”

"As for CJ..."

"You go and do it. In a word, let them withdraw voluntarily!"

Yang Fan was stunned for a long time, and then repeated Shen Changlin's request: "Quit? Are you willing to do so?"

Shen Changlin also felt that he was a bit pushy. After thinking about it, he said: "...In this way, CJ has always been very similar to the remake of "Manslaughter", "Big Shot", and "Lucky Key", so we can sell it to them..."

"...I'll give it a try." Yang Fan thought about it and asked, "Can't "Treasure League 3" be a co-production between China, Japan and South Korea?"

"...Three Kingdoms Co-production?"

Shen Changlin was silent for a while...

This idea is quite good!

In terms of size, the film markets of China, Japan and South Korea combined far exceed the North American and European markets. If "Season 3" can succeed...

"I'll think about it..."

After hanging up the phone, Shen Changlin couldn't help but think about it for a while...

There is indeed a beginning to this matter, but it is not easy to solve.

In fact, Chen Kexin went around Hollywood and made a movie "Love Letter". She felt unhappy and came up with the concept of Asian movies and founded Applause Pictures Film Company. The next year, she hired Korean director Kim Ji-woon and Thai director Lance Nimebi. Da, together with himself, made "Three Watches", a three-part horror film;

The effect is not bad, and there are different gains in the three markets;

After that, "Sangen 2" went a step further, with Japanese director Takashi Miike, Korean director Park Chan-wook, and Hong Kong director Chen Guo, continuing the three-part horror film...

This model is actually quite good. You see, it is difficult for foreign films to enter the local market, and there are no preferential policies. But if there is joint investment, or even a few local actors are inserted into it, and it becomes a co-production, then not only can it enter, but it can also exit.

Unfortunately, the market share of horror movies is too small...

Moreover, no one expected that the humble mainland market would rise so quickly.

As the entire Hong Kong circle goes north, the mainland market alone is sufficient. There is no need for regional alliances like before, and it depends on other people's faces...

In addition, Korean movies are rising too fast. Although the market is not big, it can still support local movies, so people also have their own fun.

Now Shen Changlin wants to perform this operation again...

Should you do it?

From the perspective of market returns, there is no need - the Chinese market is big enough, and "Treasure League 3" can guarantee huge profits as long as it satisfies the Chinese market...

The Sino-Japanese co-production is just an idea of ​​Shen Changlin, and it can be regarded as a preview for the Japanese chapter of "Tang Detective"...

Moreover, the script is ready!

Plus Korea…

Still have to overturn and rewrite...
Chapter completed!
