After Liu Chen and Director Zhou came to Seoul, they enjoyed extraordinary treatment.

Even Seoul City Mayor Lee Myung-bak came here to meet with Director Zhou and gave him enough respect.

Liu Chen knew that the whole of South Korea was trying hard to catch up with Hong Kong's movie entertainment.

But it is undeniable that such veteran Hong Kong actors such as Cheng Long and Director Zhou are extremely famous in South Korea.

Even after the news that Director Zhou was about to come to Korea came out, many Director Zhou's fans were waiting for him early in the hotel where Director Zhou and the crew stayed.

After Director Zhou signed the autograph with those enthusiastic Korean movie fans, he returned to the hotel with the crew.

The itinerary in South Korea is also very compact. After the crew will attend a preview tomorrow, Director Zhou also asked Liu Chen and him to participate in a Korean variety show to increase exposure for Director Zhou's movies.

The next day, their preview was held at the National Grand Theater in Seoul.

This is not only the venue for the award ceremony of the highest-level Qinglong Film Awards in South Korea, but also the venue for many Korean political conferences.

Liu Chen has lived in China for a long time and has never experienced the life of such a small country.

And when he really arrived in Korea, he could understand these Koreans.

Although he doesn't like these sticks very much, it has to be said that these citizens have more sense of crisis than Chinese people.

And not only Koreans, but also Japanese people have this sense of crisis.

When he came to the Seoul National Grand Theater, Liu Chen saw many veteran Korean artists in the theater.

Korean movies are just in its infancy. In 2001, a movie "The Savage Girlfriend" became popular in Asia. After that, this year, a movie "The Tai Chi Flag Flying" broke out of Asia again, and even caused a lot of response in the international film industry.

Not to mention the essence of these movies, just because South Korea has created such a powerful entertainment industry with a territory of less than a province in China, which has to be reflected on.

In later generations, many people said they would resist South Korea's cultural invasion, but as a result, variety shows and TV movies that purchased copyright from South Korea were popular.

After the screening, countless Korean journalists surrounded Director Zhou and interviewed him about the film.

In South Korea, these journalists don’t care about Director Zhou’s private life, they just care about Director Zhou’s movies.

Liu Chen and the rest of the crew went back to the hotel first. This place is not as famous as China. Liu Chen is not well-known here, so it is reasonable to not be paid attention to.

After returning to the hotel, Liu Chen wanted to go back to his room, but saw a strange man in the lobby of the hotel.

The reason why he is said to be strange is that this man is in his thirties, wearing a black windbreaker and sunglasses.

Especially with a toothpick on his mouth, he looked like the costume of "Little Ma Brother" in a classic Hong Kong film.

Liu Chen looked at the man and smiled, and was about to leave, but at this moment, the man came straight towards Liu Chen and grabbed Liu Chen and spoke carefully.

However, unfortunately, Liu Chen doesn't know how to speak Korean, so he doesn't understand the language with that person.

The man obviously learned that the two of them were speechless and scratched their heads in a hurry.

And at this moment, the man suddenly heard something and started talking to Liu Chen in half-baked English.

It turns out that the man named Fu Chengzhe is currently an advertising director. According to him, he is a loyal fan of "Little Ma Ge". His dream is to one day make a classic movie like "The True Color of Heroes".

And he just wanted to know Director Zhou's current position. He wanted to see the king of comedy in Hong Kong with his own eyes!

Liu Chen smiled and explained to him that Director Zhou was still in the theater.

Then he talked to him about the movie.

Listening to his story, Liu Chen could see that this person had a passion for movies, and he had a special liking for Hong Kong shootouts, and he could easily get Hong Kong film director works such as Wu Yusheng and Johnnie Feng.

The two chatted for a long time, and it was not until Director Zhou returned to the hotel that Fu Chengzhe received Director Zhou's autograph and left happily.

Liu Chen looked at his back and felt deeply moved.

In China, Chinese people have this excellent environment and countless audiences who love movies, but they can never give birth to a film director who conquered the world. This is a kind of sadness.

"What's wrong, brother? I see you sighing."

Director Zhou asked with a laugh and patted Liu Chen on the shoulder.

Liu Chen turned around and replied: "Director Zhou, I have been thinking about a question recently. How should China fight against the impact of Hollywood blockbusters in the future? Relying on the national protection policy has never been a long-term solution. Perhaps domestic movies can still support it for a while, but over time, the audience will still not buy it if they become tired of aesthetics."

Director Zhou was silent when he heard Liu Chen’s question.

After a long time, he sighed and said, "Actually, I have been thinking about this issue. You must know that I have considered this issue since I filmed "Shaolin Football" a few years ago. At that time, I was wondering whether Hong Kong local movies should introduce American blockbuster special effects, or should they be self-consistent and only make some movies with a low cost? With this idea, I made an attempt to "Shaolin Football". Of course, you also know the result, which can be said to be successful or failed."

"The success is naturally the big sale of "Shaolin Football", and the failure is the special effects of our China, which have not caught up with others' level. Even the special effects industry in the United States is becoming more and more advanced, while our China is still making those low-cost movies and is completely unaware of the arrival of the crisis!"

The next day, South Korea's mb TV station.

Liu Chen and Director Zhou came to this mb TV station, known as the three major Korean TV stations, to participate in the variety show "Come and Play" hosted by Liu Jae-suk.

At this moment, Korean variety shows have not reached their peak, and Yoo Jae-suk has not yet been named as the host of the two major nationals in South Korea like later generations.

Yoo Jae-suk is in his thirties, but he has been immersed in the Korean variety show industry for more than ten years.

He has always been known for his dedication, and all the stars he worked with were impressed by his dedication and concentration.

This "Come and Play" is also a variety show talk show specially created by MB TV for Yoo Jae-suk.

This show was broadcast on the first day of the 2004th and became the Korean variety show champion with a 9% viewership.

After Liu Chen and Director Zhou arrived at the waiting room of the show, a middle-aged man came in with some staff.
