"The world's No. 1 director Xu Cun will personally direct a Korean movie!"

"The world's No. 1 director Xu Cun intends to help the rise of Korean films?"

"..."

As soon as these news came out, it was like an atomic bomb was thrown into the film industry, which had been quiet for a long time, causing the whole film industry to boil!

At the same time, many filmmakers can't figure out what Xu Cun is doing, and what is good for South Korea, a country that almost doesn't even have movies (in the eyes of foreigners)?

However--

Before people could digest the news of the explosion, another even more explosive news came out - Xu Cun was going to direct a Korean movie and a Japanese movie at the same time!

Double open!

Some filmmakers who knew that Xu Cun was going to double play thought that Xu Cun was crazy. Even if he didn't care about his reputation, he couldn't play like this, right?

Some filmmakers thought that Xu Cun was so idle that he was going to fool the Japanese and Koreans to have some fun.

Most filmmakers believe that Xu Cun may only have a name in these two films or one of the two films, and the real director is someone else.

Of course, most filmmakers are still waiting to see Xu Cun's 'good show' - they are waiting to see, what level of 'work' can Xu Cun produce?

Leaving aside the heated discussions outside, why did Xu Cun want to make another Japanese movie?

When I ask this question, I have to say that Xu Cun is going to make a Korean movie.

Xu Cun just got someone to release the news that he was going to audition for the crew and actors to make a movie in South Korea, and soon there was a strong dissatisfaction from Japan!

Although after World War II, Japan was once occupied by the United States and faced the danger of extinction. However, in order to establish Japan as an Asian bridgehead to contain the Soviet Union and the Red Tide after the war, the United States gradually lifted its castration-style suppression of Japan in the early 1950s and changed it to limited support. After that, relying on the wealth plundered in Asian countries during World War II and the industrial foundation left by the Meiji Restoration, Japan became the second largest economy in the world in just over 20 years. Today, Japan's economic aggregate has Similar to the United States, Yiran has realized its dream of a world-class industrial power that it could not achieve before World War II.

However--

Compared with Japan's huge economy, which is so huge that even the United States is afraid of it, Japanese movies have never been able to keep up with the pace of Japan's economic rise.

actually--

Japanese movies, like Korean movies, have had their splendor and splendor.

Of course, more experience and lessons.

At the end of the last century and the beginning of this century, with the Meiji Restoration, Japan quickly became prosperous and powerful, and became the first power in Asia and the first power in East Asia. Japan's development in industry, economy, education and other aspects made it the first time after the birth of the film, the film was used. It was brought to Japan, making Japan one of the first countries in Asia to come into contact with movies.

Until the 1930s, the Japanese film market was dominated by silent films.

Later, because of the Russian Revolution, numerous films with a clear class-critical nature were born, such as "Proletarian News Briefing", "Children", "Oda River", "May Day", "Noda Labor Movement" and so on. As a result, the Japanese government and Japanese chaebols regard domestic films as thorns and tumors, and have always implemented a "limited support and suppression policy".

During World War II, the Japanese government specially set up relevant agencies and ordered domestic spy agencies to cooperate, banned the filming of films with a tendency to criticize society, and encouraged the production of so-called "national policy films" - making films a tool of the government.

After Japan surrendered, although the film law enacted by the former military government has been abolished, the strict inspection system still exists, but the inspection by the Japanese military government was replaced by the occupation authority of the US military. The territory doesn't talk about dog lords, and of course it can't talk about democracy, especially for a propaganda tool that has an inflammatory nature.

It was not until the mid-to-late 1950s, with the re-emergence of Japan's economy, that Japan experienced a wave of "going out" and "independent production", and it once became the representative of Asian films in the eyes of Europeans and Americans. During this period, Japan gave birth to a series of great directors with considerable influence all over the world, including Akira Kurosawa, Keisuke Kinoshita, and Kanto Shindo.

However--

Because of the excessive pursuit of art and human anatomy, Japanese films have since embarked on a wrong path of emphasizing literature and art and ignoring business. As a result, in the 1970s, with the birth of the post-war generation of Japanese, the new generation of Japanese who had not experienced the war and post-war pain could not understand the thoughts and deep meanings that the older generation of filmmakers wanted to express in their works. Coupled with the development of Japan's light electronics industry, the rapid popularization of TV sets has become a must-have for Japanese households. The loss of audiences and the competition on the small screen made Japanese films fall rapidly after the last glorious twilight of the 1970s.

It is worth mentioning that, like the Hong Kong films before the decline in history - during this period, Japanese films also appeared a large number of shoddy follow-up films, and many well-known Japanese filmmakers also followed into the production of color green films. The once brilliant Japanese film has become an indispensable means of attracting customers in small video halls in Asia and even Europe and the United States.

Today, although Japan can contribute more than one billion US dollars in total box office every year, Japan's domestic films only account for less than 30% of the market share - take last year as an example, last year Japan contributed more than 1.6 billion US dollars of the total box office, but domestic films in Japan took only nearly US$400 million at the box office, accounting for a little over 24% of the total market share (Hollywood films accounted for 25.7%, Hong Kong film wars 31.6%, and the rest of the market share was divided up by films from the Soviet Union, Eastern Europe and other countries.).

The Japanese are extremely dissatisfied with the status quo of Japanese movies. They desperately hope that Japanese movies can catch up with the Japanese economy, and at the worst, they can't be too much of a hindrance to the Japanese economy!

It is precisely because of this that when the Japanese heard that the world's No. 1 director was going to make a Korean film and help Korean films rise ~lightnovelpub.net~, they were immediately dissatisfied!

The Japanese have reasons to be dissatisfied - in terms of strength, Japan, which has already risen, is many times stronger than South Korea, which has just begun to rise! In terms of support for Hong Kong films, DreamWorks films, and especially Xu Cun himself, the Japanese can almost be said to be number one in the world right now! In terms of closeness, there are at least four Japanese female artists who are rumored girlfriends of Xu Cun (Michiko Oshima, Yasuko Tomita, Noriko Sakai, Rieko Miura and Nanako Noguchi have been protected by Xu Cun due to their young age. ), and Korea has none! In the eyes of the Japanese, if he chooses one of Japan and South Korea to help, Xu Cun should choose them Japan anyway!

Just as the Japanese thought, Xu Cun's relationship with Japan was indeed much closer than with South Korea, and Xu Cun knew that the Japanese had just expressed their dissatisfaction.

After knowing the news, Xu Cun only thought about it for less than five minutes before the news came out: This time, Xu Xu was planning to open a Japanese movie and a Korean movie at the same time.

At the same time when the news was spread, Xu Cun also let people spread the names of the two films - "Love Letter" and "My Sassy Girl" together to prove the authenticity of what he said.
