Chapter 3059 Turbulent Busan International Film Festival

The embarrassing problem of the Busan International Film Festival is no longer just a problem with Busan people and Busan actors, but has even risen to a problem that the Busan Municipal Government has been struggling with.

Now, before the 20th Busan International Film Festival began, big news broke out in the Busan International Film Festival.

The content is that the Busan Municipal Government is very dissatisfied with the current executive chairman of the Busan International Film Festival, and believes that Li Yongguan, who has been re-elected for two terms, has not fulfilled his duties as the executive chairman of the Busan International Film Festival, making the Busan International Film Festival better. The Busan International Film Festival is still as always.

If it were normal, the Busan Municipal Government would not say anything, but the Busan Municipal Government now really hopes that the Busan International Film Festival can become one of the signatures of Busan. Moreover, over the years, the Busan Municipal Government has strongly supported the Busan International Film Festival, which has enabled the Busan International Film Festival to be held smoothly in awkward situations.

Li Yongguan's two consecutive terms did not make any changes to the Busan International Film Festival, and completely disappointed everyone's expectations for Li Yongguan.

If it were normal, the Busan Municipal Government would not have asked for anything about Li Yongguan and the Executive Chairman of the Busan International Film Festival. After all, this is also an internal affairs of the Busan International Film Festival. If the Busan Municipal Government intervenes, with the nature of the Korean artist, the so-called artist's personality and temper will definitely be exuded, just like the bald door incident that year, expressing its opposition to boycott the government.

But the Busan International Film Festival is a film festival strongly supported by the Busan Municipal Government. It is no exaggeration to say that without the support of the Busan Municipal Government, the Busan International Film Festival would not have been possible.

From this point of view, the Busan Municipal Government is definitely the largest sponsor of the Busan International Film Festival. Since it is the largest sponsor, the Busan Municipal Government is of course qualified and right, and has its own voice and even absolutely authoritative at the Busan International Film Festival.

With the unique straightforward personality of Busan people, since you, Li Yongguan, cannot prove your ability or show that you can bring good signs to the Busan International Film Festival, why do you want to continue to serve as the executive chairman of the Busan International Film Festival? Why bother? Just step back and choose again, hoping to choose an executive chairman who is better, more suitable, and better able to bring better development to the Busan International Film Festival.

Therefore, this time, the Busan Municipal Government's attitude was very strong, requiring Li Yongguan to step down as executive chairman of the Busan International Film Festival, so that more suitable and better people can serve as executive chairman of the Busan International Film Festival and lead the Busan International Film Festival to a better future.

The move of the Busan Municipal Government immediately aroused strong dissatisfaction from the Busan International Film Festival, saying that the Busan Municipal Government's move was contrary to common sense and that the unilateral strong team, the Executive Chairman of the Busan International Film Festival, interfered with the stay and departure of the Busan International Film Festival. We regretted it.

As soon as the Busan International Film Festival spoke, it immediately attracted the support of countless Korean filmmakers. Everyone was idle and finally had a chance. Of course, they also had to jump out and start "siege" of the Busan Municipal Government.

After all, Korean artists like to fight against the government and slap the government in the face when they are fine. This has basically become a habit for Korean artists, especially filmmakers. It seems that if they don’t compete with the government and fight to the death, they will not reflect their own filmmaker’s character, and they will not reflect their own filmmakers. They are also artists who are determined not to compromise and only pursue freedom for their own principles and bottom lines...

Look carefully at the representative directors and actors of Zhongwulu, especially the hot-tempered male directors and actors, who have never had any trouble with the government, and who have not attacked or accused the government?

Unfortunately, the rejection, boycott and opposition of the film people is useless at all, or they are finding the wrong partner.

After all, the target is not the South Korean government or the Seoul municipal government, but the Busan municipal government.

The Busan Municipal Government also has a traditional Busan personality. To put it bluntly, it is dull, and to put it bluntly, it is very manly and very pleasant. The key is that it is very stubborn. Once it is determined, it will definitely be done at all costs and costs.

You should know that after South Korea asked Japan to colonize, from the north to the pk of Kim Il Pak, the Busan Municipal Government has been fighting against the Seoul Municipal Government and the South Korean government for any time.

The Busan Municipal Government rejected countless requests and orders from the South Korean government, both big and small. A simple sentence: The situation in Busan is different, so you should arrange it as appropriate. If your order is not suitable, you will reject it.

In terms of politics, the Busan faction has its own faction. Although it is difficult to make a difference in the Korean politics, after all, they are suppressed by the Korean government and the Seoul faction. However, in the Busan area, there is no doubt that the Busan faction's politics is its own faction. Whether it is the Korean government or politicians in other local governments, it is useless and cannot intervene.

Everyone says that the South Korean government treats the Jeju Island Municipal Government with a real special treatment, and gives the Jeju Island Municipal Government very great rights, and is worried about the independence of the Jeju Island Municipal Government.

But in fact, the real Koreans understand that the Busan Municipal Government is the local government that the South Korean government is most worried about. The possibility of Jeju Island's municipal government really leaving South Korea to demand independence is really too small. Although Jeju Island's tourism industry is developed, without the strong support and "blood transfusion" of the South Korean government, the lives of the people on Jeju Island will become a problem at that time.

On the contrary, the Busan area is the local government that the South Korean government is most worried about, because whether it is the Busan Municipal Government or the Busan people, it seems that they have a spirit of resistance. Although it is not obvious at the moment, the South Korean government also focuses on appeasement in Busan to prevent Busan from becoming South Korea's "Catalonia".

This time, the Busan Municipal Government directly interfered in the position of executive chairman of the Busan International Film Festival, demanding that Li Yongguan step down and his attitude was very strong.

After all, since Li Yongguan served as the executive chairman of the Busan International Film Festival in 2007, he has had a good relationship with the Busan Municipal Government. It can even be said that without the strong support of the Busan Municipal Government, Li Yongguan could not even worry about the position of executive chairman of the Busan International Film Festival.

Originally, the relationship between the two sides was very good. Under normal circumstances, the Busan Municipal Government would not interfere in the position of executive chairman of the Busan International Film Festival. Although Li Yongguan is not particularly good, it is at least not bad. Under the current circumstances of the Busan International Film Festival, it would be good to be able to stabilize the current situation of the Busan International Film Festival and not continue to decline. Unless a new executive chairman is really found and it is confirmed that the other party has a great possibility to lead the Busan International Film Festival to break out, the Busan Municipal Government would not take any risks and would let Li Yongguan go down.

But Li Yongguan is still alive and plans to end the "Sewol" incident, as one of the publicity momentums of the 20th Busan International Film Festival, attracting more people to pay attention to the Busan International Film Festival.

This incident is the real reason why the Busan Municipal Government is strongly dissatisfied. After continuing to talk and negotiate with Li Yongguan and the Busan International Film Festival, Li Yongguan rejected the Busan Municipal Government's request to maintain freedom of expression and the independence of the film, and insisted on the release of the documentary "Diver Bell" related to the "Sewol" shipwreck accident.

Well, the two documentaries, "Diver Bell" and "That Day? The Sea", are both documentaries related to the "Sewol" shipwreck accident, which more describes the inaction of the *** government at that time, not only inaction, but also prevents civil forces from going to rescue.

Therefore, these two documentaries were naturally hindered and boycotted by the *** government at that time and were not allowed to be released. Also, the private spread of these two documentaries made things bigger and bigger, causing the angry *** to ban more than 500 artists, and at the same time, more than 9,000 directors were on the *** government's "blacklist".

Of course, this matter has nothing to do with the Busan Municipal Government. The more headache the government is, in some ways, the Busan Municipal Government is quite happy and is very happy to see these.

The key is that Li Yongguan insisted on letting the documentary "Diver Bell" be released at the Busan International Film Festival, which directly caused strong dissatisfaction from the *** government. Then the resources provided by the Film Revitalization Committee to the Busan International Film Festival were cut in half. This is the reason why the Busan Municipal Government was strongly dissatisfied with Li Yongguan and other main person in charge of the Busan International Film Festival.

In the Busan Municipal Government's view, the Busan International Film Festival is already like this, and it is very difficult to maintain it now. As the biggest sponsor of the Busan International Film Festival, our Busan Municipal Government has tried every means to help the Busan International Film Festival in all aspects, but we are under great pressure, especially in terms of funds.

Now, just because you are determined to do so, the Busan International Film Festival has reduced half of the funding from the Film Revitalization Committee. What is this? Should we fill the less half of the money in the Busan Municipal Government? Our Busan Municipal Government will not talk about whether we have money or not. Even if we have money, why should our Busan Municipal Government fill this gap?

Why is our Busan Municipal Government paying for the so-called independence of the movies by Li Yongguan and others? What is this? You insist on the release of the documentary "Diver Bell", and then half of the funds were cut off by the Film Revitalization Committee. So what should you do in the future? Should you hold the Busan International Film Festival?

Don't hold it anymore. You Li Yongguan and others can pat your butt and leave easily, and you can even get good reviews from the film industry or the people like fighters who strive for film independence. But why does our Busan Municipal Government have to clean up this mess? The key is that our Busan Municipal Government has spent so much effort, money and costs over the years to maintain the holding of the Busan International Film Festival. Now, because of the decisions of you, Li Yongguan and others, don't care about the Busan International Film Festival?

If you don't care, then it would be equivalent to the Busan Municipal Government's support for the Busan International Film Festival for so many years. All the costs spent in this process were in vain. If you care, wouldn't you become the one who cleans up the mess for you, Li Yongguan and others? Then you are awesome and you will force our Busan Municipal Government to a dead end, making us not even before and after. You are great yourself, and you will lack half of the funds from the Film Revitalization Committee in the future. In the future, we will also have to fill in the Busan Municipal Government. Our Busan Municipal Government is rich, but this money needs to be spent too much. If you continue to take out a sum of money to fill this gap, then our Busan Municipal Government will be under too much pressure. If you have too many relatives and relatives put the funds in the Busan International Film Festival, it will probably also cause strong dissatisfaction among the Busan citizens.

This is the biggest reason why the Busan Municipal Government is strongly dissatisfied with Li Yongguan and others. After discussing with Li Yongguan and others, it said that the Busan Municipal Government can cooperate with Li Yongguan and others to let the documentary "Diver Bell" be released in the Busan area in the future. It is just a matter of image and principle. The Busan Municipal Government will not promote and promote the documentary "Diver Bell".

Anyway, what the Busan Municipal Government means is that after the 20th Busan International Film Festival is held, we will help you use the documentary "Diver Bell" to hit the government in the face. It's that simple.

Unfortunately, Li Yongguan and others directly refused the proposal of the Busan Municipal Government, saying that the independence of movies should not be interfered by the government, and even if it is interfered, it is useless. We must fight for the independence of movies. Even if the consequences and costs are very high, we will do whatever we can.

Well, Li Yongguan and others regarded themselves as a great man who fought or even sacrificed for the independence of the film, and did not take the Busan Municipal Government seriously at all. The key was that they were still righteous, which completely annoyed the Busan Municipal Government.

After all, Li Yongguan and others basically did not consider how much impact they would have on the Busan International Film Festival, and the three million Busan citizens and the Busan Municipal Government’s efforts over the years were in vain. This is what the Busan Municipal Government decided to tolerate.

Since you are so great, that's OK. So the Busan Municipal Government, which has a traditional Busan personality, began to take strong actions and demanded that Li Yongguan retire from his position as executive chairman of the Busan International Film Festival.

After being directly rejected by Li Yongguan and also aroused the "siege" of the Busan Municipal Government by Korean filmmakers, this completely angered the Busan Municipal Government.

So, the Busan Municipal Government began to make efforts. The Busan Procuratorate implemented special supervision of the Busan International Film Festival, and this investigation finally found a problem, that is, the public funds and private use of Li Yongguan and others.

What else can I say about this? The Busan Municipal Government made direct efforts and then formally reported Li Yongguan, the three highest leaders of the Busan International Film Festival, and directly opened fire to let all filmmakers know that the Busan Municipal Government usually smiled and said hello, but if it touched the bottom line of the Busan Municipal Government, or if the Busan Municipal Government really made up its mind, there would definitely be no room for negotiation and would directly kill you without any hesitation.

Of course, these have not happened yet. It is just because of the problem of the documentary "Diver Bell". The Busan Municipal Government and the Busan International Film Festival have already had great contradictions and differences. Especially for the three top leaders of the Busan International Film Festival, including Li Yongguan, the Busan Municipal Government's patience has been completely lost, and the two sides have completely broken up.

Today, the Busan International Film Festival is also under special supervision by the Busan Procuratorate. This time, the special supervision was found out about the use of public funds and private use, thus becoming the biggest reason and reason for the Busan Municipal Government, like the Procuratorate, to prosecute Li Yongguan and other top leaders of the Sanming Busan International Film Festival.

The relationship and contradictions between the Busan Municipal Government and the Busan International Film Festival have been made public and obvious, which has also made countless people from the outside world worried that the 20th Busan International Film Festival would seem to be able to be held smoothly, and they are worried that under this circumstance, this Busan International Film Festival will also die.

Of course, the Busan Municipal Government also knows this and is mentally prepared, that is, to take over the Busan International Film Festival in full, at least temporarily take over the Busan International Film Festival, so that the 20th Busan International Film Festival can be held smoothly and successfully. As for the 21st session, the appropriate executive chairman and others will be selected again to continue to worry about the Busan International Film Festival.

I was worried that Li Yongguan and others would suddenly quit, which would lead to the inability to hold this Busan International Film Festival, so in secret, the Busan Municipal Government also secretly contacted Kim Hye-soo and others, hoping that Kim Hye-soo and others would participate in this Busan International Film Festival and build momentum for the promotion of the Busan International Film Festival.

Originally, Kim Hye-soo and others were unwilling to participate. After all, because of Lee Yong-kwan, the Busan Municipal Government and the filmmakers had a conflict. No matter what Kim Hye-soo and others thought, as filmmakers, they must also stand on the filmmakers. Even if they do not support them, they cannot support the Busan Municipal Government at this critical moment. At most, they will remain silent and do not help each other.

However, after learning the specific reasons from the Busan Municipal Government, the attitudes of Kim Hye-soo and others also changed their preferences. They felt particularly atmosphere and dissatisfied with Li Yongguan's behavior of taking the Busan International Film Festival to bet for himself, for his reputation and interests.
