Han Yan 'er smiled bitterly. She didn't expect Xu Yun to be able to talk so casually at a time like this. No matter what would happen to her in the future, at this moment, she truly admired Xu Yun.
"Director Xu, I really admire you," Han Yan 'er said. "If I hadn't met you, I might still be living the life I am living now. I would be willing to accept the unspoken rules to pursue what I want."
"Sometimes, the unspoken rules are only for the weak," Xu Yun said. "As long as you live a tough life, no one will be able to follow the unspoken rules."
Han Yan 'er nodded.
"If you want to be tough enough, you have to at least show your ability," Xu Yun continued. "If you don't have a certain ability, then forget it. You should be developing your career in film and television, so you need to really work on your acting skills. Otherwise, even if you use commercial means to become popular, you will be criticized. If you don't have a strong ability to withstand it, you will easily go crazy. "
"What do you mean?" Han Yan 'er was shocked.
"It's exactly what it says," Xu Yun said.
"There are so many people who make bad movies and have no acting skills. Are they all …" Han Yan 'er's expression was completely lost.
"It doesn't matter if your skin is thick enough," Xu Yun said. "If your skin isn't thick enough, then it won't be easy to withstand it. It's rare to see people go crazy in this industry because if an actor is thin-skinned, he or she won't be able to survive. So, most artists have a strong ability to withstand pressure. After all, in this society, there are a lot of haters. It's not easy to get a little praise for something you do, but there will definitely be haters. That's nothing, it's normal. "
"Then what is a good movie? It won't be haters. "Han Yan 'er seemed to have a lot of ideas at this moment.
"What is a good movie … Let me think about how to explain it." Xu Yun said, "A good movie doesn't just need actors who are good at it. It also needs a good director, a good script, and a good plot. It's not one-sided."
"What do you think is a good movie made by Hua Xia?" Han Yan 'er really wanted to learn and get some advice.
Xu Yun wasn't a teacher at the Film Academy, so he couldn't point out anything. However, it didn't matter if he expressed his opinion. "I think that A Chinese Ghost Story from the eighties, Farewell My Concubine from the nineties, and The Infernal Affairs from the twenty-first century are all good. The recently released Mekong River is also quite good."
Han Yan 'er nodded and memorized everything. She said, "I will read them one by one and study hard."
"Different countries have different cultures. Maybe in our Hua Xia, it's good. But in Korea, it might not be so." Xu Yun: "Some things are hard to say."
"Then … what's considered a bad movie in Hua Xia?" Han Yan 'er still didn't seem to have heard enough.
Xu Yun shrugged and said, "Little Time 1234, a bad movie tetralogy. It's the king of bad movies."
Han Yan 'er was shocked when she heard this. Usually, only classic movies would have a few tetralogy, such as the Lord of the Rings trilogy. She had never heard of a bad movie being made into a tetralogy.
"This director must be very good, right? Otherwise, how could there be a market for bad movies? "Han Yan 'er looked at him in disbelief.
Xu Yun nodded. "Of course, he must be very good. People have given him the nickname Hua Xia's Best Plagiarist. He's very good. Because he has the means to attract fans and brainwash them, no matter how bad the movie is, the box office is guaranteed. These tetralogy have sold for 1.8 billion RMB. It's not simple. "
Han Yan 'er was shocked. If there was such a number in the Korean film industry, it would be a godly existence.
"I'm just kidding. Actually, this guy isn't a director at all. He's an author who relied on plagiarism to get into Hua Xia's Writers' Association." Xu Yun said, "In Hua Xia, the real four bad movies should be Director Jiang's One Step Away, Director Chen's Wuji, Director Zhang's Three Shots, and Director Feng's Private Customization. These are all real big directors. Movies of this level are the real bad movies. But this guy isn't a director. The movies he made aren't movies at all. They're just products used to make money. "
Han Yan 'er nodded. Compared to the four bad movies made by the four big directors, she was more curious about how this director who wasn't a director could be so good.
"In Hua Xia, can people who plagiarize enter Hua Xia's Writers' Association?" Han Yan 'er didn't believe it. "This … isn't that a stain?"
"I don't know about that. Because in Hua Xia, there's something called recommendation. As for this guy, he didn't get into the Writers' Association through selection. He got recommended." Xu Yun said, "And Hua Xia is a society where the power of connections is always greater than one's ability. So … Hehe, you know."
Han Yan 'er was stunned. "There's an unspoken rule?"
"I'm not from that circle. I don't dare to say that." Xu Yun said, "But I know a friend who writes good novels. Many people read them. But after he applied to the Writers' Association, it sank like a stone into the sea. And it's not even the Hua Xia Writers' Association. It's just a provincial Writers' Association."
"Looks like the water in Hua Xia is deep in all industries." Han Yan 'er shook her head.
"So don't think about going to Hua Xia. It's good to stay in your country." Xu Yun said, "If this industry is always controlled by others, then leave early. Otherwise, it's not worth it to be abandoned when your youth is gone."
Han Yan 'er only had a bitter smile on her face.
Since Xu Yun had nothing to do in the room, he chatted with Han Yan 'er for about an hour. After Han Yan' er left, Xu Yun looked at all the lights in the room and closed all the curtains. There was no light in the room and it was completely dark.
Then, Xu Yun took out his phone and turned on the camera function. He checked every corner of the room. The most important thing was the blind spots of the room, the ceiling, the TV, the air conditioner, and other places where pinhole cameras could be installed.
Because pinhole cameras relied on infrared in dark situations, if there was a pinhole camera, the phone would see a red dot. If there was a red dot in the room, it meant there was a camera.
Sure enough, Xu Yun found it after a careful search.
Xu Yun found the pinhole camera under the decorative painting hanging next to the TV.
After Xu Yun found the camera, he didn't directly destroy it. Instead, he pretended to inadvertently block the camera with a dry vase in the room.
Xu Yun knew very well that these scenes would be recorded. If he didn't want the other party to know that he had found out, he had to do something.
Soon, Xu Yun got up and turned on the light. He also opened the curtains and sat on the bed facing the camera. He pretended to make a phone call. "I just checked the room. There shouldn't be any surveillance. I'm relieved."
Xu Yun pretended to make a phone call just to make the person secretly watching him believe that he didn't find the camera.
But now the camera was blocked by the dry vase, and the scene in the room was almost blocked. If he wanted to continue monitoring, he had to deal with it.
Therefore, Xu Yun purposely revealed a flaw and continued to pretend to be on the phone. "Actually, I'm not that tired. I can't sleep. I'm planning to go to the bar in the hotel and have a drink. I'll talk to you later."
Xu Yun pretended to hang up the phone. Then, he got up and walked out of the room.
As for why Xu Yun showed such a flaw, naturally, he had his reasons. Xu Yun took the elevator down to the hotel bar and knocked on the bar counter.
"Sir, what would you like to drink?"
"Anything." Xu Yun took out two 50,000 won notes from his pocket and threw them on the table.
The waiter took the money and immediately went to prepare the drinks for Xu Yun. But when he returned, Xu Yun had already left, leaving the waiter confused. He didn't know if the guest had left or went to the bathroom, but he still put the drinks on the table and waited.
After all, a guest who threw out 100,000 won could be considered a rich person.
No one liked to offend the rich. This phenomenon was not only in Hua Xia, but also in any country.
Therefore, it was easy to do things with money. This saying was very suitable in today's world. Moreover, Korea was a classic example of a small capitalist country that learned from the American Empire. Money was the most important thing.
The reason why Xu Yun left so quickly was because he had already confirmed that the person who was watching him had left after seeing him clearing the bar.
At this time, Xu Yun could be sure that the person was preparing to enter his room.
