"Parasite" is a Korean film released in 1992. After it was released that year, it immediately became a worldwide phenomenon and classic film.

Precisely because of the financial crisis in Southeast Asia, South Korea's economy was hit hard and almost all of its underpants were lost. Therefore, the strategy of "building a country through culture" was proposed and achieved good results.

The more famous ones are the Korean Wave, and Korean boy and girl groups. Even today, there are still some Korean entertainment media that are making a fuss. Later, South Korea committed suicide and voluntarily gave up a large market.

However, objectively speaking, Korean movies are also very good, with a large number of excellent works appearing. Its most famous masterpiece is "Parasite".

Let’s first introduce the results of “Parasite”!

After debuting at the Cannes Film Festival, it won the Palme d'Or for Best Film with unstoppable momentum. Then it began its journey to sweep the major film festivals.

What is particularly amazing is that "Parasite" not only won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film. It also won four Academy Awards for Best Original Screenplay, Best International Film, Best Director, and Best Picture!

This has broken the nearly 100-year history of the Oscars - the record that the Best Picture Award was only awarded to English-language films! So it is of great significance and commendable.

The North American box office of "Parasite" exceeded 50 million US dollars, and the total global box office was 174.2 million US dollars. What is even more surprising is that there are 233 countries and regions in the world, of which "Parasite" was released in more than 200 countries

?

Coupled with the phenomenal word-of-mouth, it can be said to be a double harvest of word-of-mouth and box office!

However, there must be internal reasons for such a phenomenal film. And the most critical reason among them is the perfect script!

In the history of world cinema, there are very few scripts that can be called perfect.

For example, "Murder on the Orient Express", a classic detective film, has a perfect script and will be remade again and again. There is also "Titanic", a disaster film, which has also been remade four times.

Among China Entertainment's movies, there are probably one and a half that can be called worthy of the title. That half is the thriller romance film - "Midnight Song".

And that one is "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom". Like Cheng Long's "Plan A", it was actually shot with the structure of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom". Let me explain, this does not involve plagiarism at all. Movies

The structure has been ruined for more than a hundred years, making it almost impossible to innovate.

By the way, although the later remake of "Taking Tiger Mountain by Wisdom" did very well at the box office, the adaptation seemed a bit superfluous and not perfect. It seemed that it was just for the sake of inserting those actresses. Come on, Tiger Mountain

Where do the women come from who are among the top nine?

This does not mean that a perfect script cannot be adapted, but the main structure and core must not be changed. An adaptation like DiCaprio's "Titanic" is the icing on the cake. So in the end, one of the male and female protagonists must die. After all, it is a disaster movie

The core. Otherwise, in the end, the male and female protagonists get together without shame? Then it is not a disaster movie, but a comedy movie!

Since it is a perfect script, wouldn’t it be as shocking as a nuclear bomb if it falls in the eyes of any filmmaker? You know, most filmmakers may never encounter it once in their lifetime!

Especially in the plot, the most suitable setting is not South Korea, but the United States. The Cuban missile crisis has been a nightmare for generations in the United States! It is also a nightmare of nuclear war and annihilation around the world!

Therefore, when Rong Guang came up with this script, he really couldn't shoot it in China. Not only was it a censorship issue, but the background issue couldn't be solved at all. Then he might as well hand it over and go to Hollywood in exchange for his own interests.

It can be seen from this that when Harvey Weinstein got this script, how could he not go crazy? Don’t underestimate the temptation of a perfect script for filmmakers. This is a great opportunity for fame and fortune. And it should be admitted and not discussed.

In terms of character, Harvey Weinstein is indeed a very discerning filmmaker!

So the negotiations were immediately restarted. In order to increase his bargaining chip, Harvey Weinstein even found the director in advance - Oliver Stone. And after Oliver Stone got the script, he also went crazy.

. He rushed to the negotiation site overnight, and like a madman, feverishly requested to join the project.

You should all be familiar with Oliver Stone, a famous Hollywood director whose masterpieces include "Platoon" and "Born on the Fourth of July". He has won the Academy Award for Best Director twice. But those subsequent commercial films not only failed

Street, and won multiple Golden Raspberry Awards. Later, he filmed a series of biopics, which were remarkable and restored a lot of reputation.

This is a world-class director of genre films who is very partial to science. Realistic social-themed films like "Parasite" happen to be the type that Oliver Stone is best at.

Of course, Rong Guang is very satisfied with such a director.

So we once again launched difficult negotiations. After three days of quarrels, compromises and exchanges, we finally reached the following agreement:

First, the reward for the peripheral products of "One Long Shot" is US$1 million. Harvey Weinstein will pay it now, and there is no need to wait until the peripheral goods reach US$50 million;

Second, the global buyout price of "Lightning Chase" is US$5.8 million, plus a 10% North American peripheral share;

Third, the project of "Parasite" was officially approved. The investment amount was US$10 million. Director Oliver Stone received a salary of US$2 million;

Fourth, of the US$5.8 million for "Lightning Chase", 2.8 million will be paid temporarily, and the remaining 3 million will be used as an investment in "Parasite";

Fifth, in "Parasite", Rong Guang's screenwriter's salary is US$200,000, and his actor's salary is US$1.2 million, which are also converted into film investment. He will also receive 40% of the North American box office profit share and 20% of the North American peripheral profit share;

Sixth, director Oliver Stone has also joined the screenwriting team, and will also hire several screenwriting doctors to make appropriate adaptations of the script;

Seventh, Rong Guang will star in the male lead of "Parasite".

Rong Guang is actually not satisfied with this agreement, but he can accept it because his main purpose has been achieved.

Being able to learn from Oliver Stone. And as a screenwriter and starring role, I will definitely be able to participate in the entire process of the crew.

As for Oliver Stone joining the screenwriting team, as well as those screenwriting doctors. After all, Rong Guang is Chinese, and the original "Parasite" is a Korean film. In terms of details, it still needs to be adapted in the United States.

However, Rong Guang already knew what he was dissatisfied with. The fat Jewish guy started playing tricks again, and he would definitely use the infamous Hollywood accountant in the future!

As for how much you can get in the end? Only God knows. It must be a very brutal game, and it may even lead to a direct lawsuit.

After finishing all this and paying the due taxes and CAA commission, I found a Wall Street stockbroker, Joan, through the introduction of Pincus.

"Joan, buy me $1 million in Apple stock."

mmp! Moutai’s stock dream has been shattered, brother, I still have Apple!

At this time, Jobs had just returned to Apple. And Rong Guang had just checked that Apple's current total market value was only a billion dollars.

In his previous life, Rong Guang once heard the news that Apple would become a super company with over one trillion yuan. Isn’t that 1,000 times?
Chapter completed!
