Rebirth of the Director in Korea

Jung Hyuk-jae and Han Ga-in were pester and chirp in the bedroom for half an hour before they came out. The younger sister Jung Min-joo in the restaurant has already sat down and started eating Then, I saw Jung Hyuk-jae and Han Ga-in coming down from the upper floor.

“Min-joo, early!”

Han Ga-in said with some embarrassment, a face tends to become ruddy before he speaks.

After hearing Han Ga-in’s words, Jung Min-joo nodded his head and then said to Jung Hyuk-jae, “Brother, you are getting lazy. What time is this morning? Just get up.” Jung Min-joo couldn’t help but ridicule got up.

Jung Hyuk-jae rubbed his waist and glanced at Han Ga-in who walked into the bathroom. He was full of grievances. It seemed that he was the one who worked hardest. Such treatment is unfair!

Standing in front of the window stretching a few times, Jung Hyuk-jae has already made a decision in his heart. The filming of “Lao Qian” is finished, so I must go and exercise myself, otherwise it hasn’t arrived yet. At the age of thirty, this body of my own was about to be scrapped. The same was true in the previous life, because of the unsatisfactory career, coupled with all the troubles in the love field, smoking and alcoholism, these all are commonplace, when he was only in his thirties, his body was just like a person in his forties. , I can’t go on like this in this life.

“Min-joo, you have to eat first, and after a while, I’ll take you to school.” With that, Jung Hyuk-jae walked to the bathroom to prepare to wash.

Han Ga-in has finished washing up. She originally planned to come out, but when she saw Jung Hyuk-jae walk into the bathroom, she stopped and stood behind Jung Hyuk-jae. Look at him through the mirror.

Jung Hyuk-jae felt a little strange when he noticed the movement behind him. He turned around and looked at Han Ga-in, who was already shaving, and asked, “What are you? What’s the matter? You have been looking at me like this since last night?”

“They all say that your eyes are golden pupils. As long as you look at them, they will not lose money in the end!” , Han Ga-in unconsciously stretched out his hand as if he wanted to touch the eyes that had been fascinated by outsiders, but he quickly reacted and hurriedly withdrew his hand.

“What’s wrong? Doesn’t it look like touching it?” Jung Hyuk-jae said with a smile.

Hearing Jung Hyuk-jae’s words, Han Ga-in was a little embarrassed and nodded, “en!”

Jung Hyuk-jae obediently lowered his body and Han Ga-in’s height was flat, and then he approached Han Ga-in full, and her fascinating pair of eyes were getting closer and closer to her, close enough to hear the other person’s breathing, which made Han Ga-in suddenly feel Some are not quite comfortable, especially those attractive eyes. The dark within both eyes exudes a gentle look, and the slightly angular face is softened by these eyes, revealing a bit of rough lines. The gentleness of hard to describe.

Under such gaze, Han Ga-in felt a moment of oppression inexplicably. It was obviously not the first time to look at these eyes, but why did the gentle eyes give people such a powerful oppression? Han Ga-in couldn’t help but stepped back a few steps. The floor of the bathroom was a bit slippery. During the process of backing, Han Ga-in didn’t grasp his balance at once, and he was about to fall. Fortunately, Jung Hyuk-jae Eye-sick hands quickly grabbed her arm, and this prevented an accident from happening.

“Oppa…”

Han Ga-in dare not look towards Jung Hyuk-jae’s eyes anymore after such a shameful thing happened, but fortunately it is Jung Hyuk-jae didn’t say anything, he reached out and patted her head and let her leave.

After breakfast, Han Ga-in was picked up by the managerial van of her agency. Jung Hyuk-jae first sent his younger sister to school, and then drove to CJ Entertainment’s film and television. Department, of course, his trip today cannot be said to be dunning, but should be called sharing the stolen goods…dividing the accounts!

“The King and The Clown” has set a historic viewing record and box office revenue. As the creator and producer of this Legendary, Jung Hyuk-jae is naturally very happy, of course the happiest In fact, it is because of a large amount of income that is accounted for. What is the purpose of making movies? Isn’t it for profit?

Of course, if you say it is for fame, it makes sense. After all, if you have a fame, profits will naturally follow. Every year, that many small film production companies shoot that many literary films in various countries. What is the purpose of the film exhibition? Don’t you just want to be able to win a few awards, and then sell the movie based on these reasons?

In fact, no matter where the market for literary and artistic films is small and pitiful, the films produced by these small companies can’t get in hand, so they have to rely on such means to survive. This is also the South Korea film circle. The component at the bottom of the pyramid cannot be said to be absent, but it is also an indispensable component in this circle.

“Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi! Minister Lee Sung-in is already waiting for you in the office!” When Jung Hyuk-jae stepped into the door of the CJ Entertainment Film and Television Department, he had already noticed the visitor. The Young Lady at the front desk walked out to greet her, and said.

It seems that after experiencing the last time, she has also learned a lot more shrewdly, knowing that those people should not be neglected, just like the one in front of her, Lee Sung-in gave the order at the beginning Orders, don’t neglect the other party, as long as they must come over and treat them well, naturally they will remember Jung Hyuk-jae as subordinates.

“Is Section Head Li already here?” Jung Hyuk-jae was a little surprised.

While leading the way, the Young Lady at the front desk listened carefully to Jung Hyuk-jae’s words and introduced: “Minister Jiang from Lotte Film and Television has also arrived.”

“Is that right? It’s pretty early for those who came today…” Jung Hyuk-jae said with a smile, he already understood a little bit in his heart, wouldn’t they be able to come early? Today is the day when the accounts of the same theater are divided. As the distributor of the movie, they naturally waited for the debt to arrive.

After walking not far, the Young Lady at the front desk stopped in front of a door, then turned around and said to Jung Hyuk-jae, “Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi, this is it, Section Head Li is waiting for you inside.”

“Okay, I see, thank you.” Jung Hyuk-jae thanked him, and then opened the office door.

Working indoors The three big men are swallowing clouds and fog. The office that was not small was filled with the three people. The room was filled with smoke. People who didn’t understand the situation thought they had arrived at Immortal Realm. Too!

Because of quitting smoking, Jung Hyuk-jae now feels a little uncomfortable in his throat when he smells smoke. After coughing for a few times, the three people who are still immersed in it realize that someone has come in. The smoke went out, and Lee Sung-in stood up and opened the window to breathe.

“Hyuk-jae-ssi is here?” Lee Sung-in saw Jung Hyuk-jae just like the biological brother who had not seen each other for many years. He stepped forward and gave a big hug. Kang Sung-sin of Kang Sung-sin stretched out his hands and didn’t know if he should step forward and give him a hug. Only Lee Joon-ik sat on the sofa with a smile and looked at the three people trying to gain somebody’s friendship with each other.

Several people exchanged greetings, and then they all sat down and started discussing today’s topic.

Split accounts!

In general, the total box office score of “The King and The Clown” is much better than that of “Welcome to Dongmakgol”. Whether it is word-of-mouth or audience ratings, “The King and “The Clown” is a well-deserved number one in the film industry today, and it is also another landmark film on the South Korea Cinema Gallery.

Compared with “Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War”, which cost 17 billion Korean Won, the production cost of “The King and The Clown” is not enough for “Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of” “War” is a fraction, but the box office value it creates is even more brilliant. “Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War” took 100 days to reach 11.74 million viewers, and “The King and The Clown” The record is 33 days ahead of schedule. The total number of movie viewers is more than 12 million. In other words, one of the four Koreans has seen the film. For such a film without a big star, big production, and big publicity, it is really It is a remarkable achievement.

Because of this, “The King and The Clown” is even more amazing in terms of profit. In terms of box office alone, with a box office of 12.31289 people, it won over 100 billion in the box office. Won’s box office, some film production companies in the circle discovered this amazing number after a little calculation, and all were dumbfounded.

Of course, this 100 billion worth of achievements is not entirely JHJFilm’s profit. Most of this money is more than 57% going to theaters, and the remaining part is deducted from the film business. The special fund and business tax have been calculated. Among the 100 billion Korean Won, the production companies of JHJFilm and Lee Joon-ik, plus the two distribution companies of CJ Entertainment and Lotte Film, have a profit of more than 40 billion Korean Won. .

According to the original contract signed by both parties, JHJFilm finally got a box office profit of 180 million Korean Won, and JHJFilm’s total investment in movies was only three billion Korean Won, and the profit reached a staggering amount. It’s no wonder that everyone says that film is a money-grabbing project.

In fact, apart from this, “The King and The Clown” has different income in other profit points. For example, the various peripheral products of “The King and The Clown” are similar to those in the crustacean The protagonist dolls, keychains, posters and so on. These don’t look cheap, but the profits are really not low. In this regard alone, more than three billion are credited. When the time comes Jung Hyuk-jae and Lee Joon-ik will Peripheral profit in this area is one point, which means that half of the investment can be recovered with only peripheral income.

The copyright of overseas films is also a big part of the revenue. At present, with the end of the screening in major domestic cities, some other countries have come to consult about overseas copyright matters, such as China, Japan and the United States. With the intention of introduction, Lee Joon-ik wanted to use the box office split mode, but under the persuasion of Jung Hyuk-jae, he chose a one-time buyout. Let’s not talk about whether “The King and The Clown” meets the tastes of foreigners. If the box office is divided, the risk is too great. It is far less refreshing than a one-time buyout. After all, the memory of the previous life told Jung Hyuk-jae, ” “The King and The Clown” in the overseas film market is not to be rushed.

After some discussion, the overseas copyrights of many countries were settled, and it brought nearly two million US dollars in overseas revenue for “The King and The Clown”. If converted into Korean Won, there would be nearly three billion. Korean Won, the overseas side no longer needs to be divided with JC Entertainment and LOtte Film and Television, only Jung Hyuk-jae and Lee Joon-ik are evenly divided, which means that Jung Hyuk-jae is brought by “The King and The Clown” The surrounding and overseas income has already recovered the previous investment.

At the end of the discussion, Lee Sung-in from CJ Entertainment talked about the production and distribution of DVDs and Blu-ray DVDs. After all, this item should be put on the agenda at the end of the movie. On this issue, everyone’s opinion is unified, and that is to postpone the speed of DVD launch.

The main reason is that although the screening of “The King and The Clown” has ended with Seoul and other big cities, there is still a part of “The King and The Clown” in theaters in many small cities. The show is being screened, and it is predicted that it will continue to be screened for a while, but these audiences are no longer counted in the final box office results. In addition to the fact that “The King and The Clown” has just discussed the issue of overseas distribution, there are many movies in the film circle that will be released in China after being released overseas due to the development of the Internet and illegal downloads, such as ” “Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War” was released on DVD 8 months after its release, and “The King and The Clown” is no exception. It is expected that the DVD version and Blu-ray version will be released in China in half a year. I like favorite movies. If the hobbyist learns this news, he will probably cry and faint in the toilet.

As for some movies that have failed at the box office, DVDs will be introduced to the market within a week after the theater screening ends. The purpose is naturally self-evident. Under normal circumstances, the box office profit of movies is 80%. The profit is 8-9%, so of course the film company will end the movie that failed at the box office as soon as possible and release the DVD to make up for the loss.

“Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi, there are a lot of news about JHJFilm in the news recently. What I saw when I opened the news network is news about you, you are on fire!” talk After finishing the splitting of the accounts, everyone comfortably leaned on the sofa and chatted while drinking tea.

“It’s all vain praise, in fact, I am not as overbearing as everyone said.” Jung Hyuk-jae naturally understood the meaning of Lee Sung-in’s words, and he quickly waved his hand to explain.

However, the few sitting here are obviously not convinced. Take Lee Sung-in of CJ Entertainment for example. After going through “Welcome to Dongmakgol” and “The King and The Clown”, we have to talk about the most The person I want to cooperate with is naturally JHJFilm under Jung Hyuk-jae, so there is nothing to say about making money.

In fact, it is not only Lee Sung-in, but also Kang Sung-sin of Lotte Film and Television. Lotte Film and Television is not only an emerging domestic film production company, but also a distribution company. The most important thing for distribution companies is what? Naturally, it is the quality of the film and whether it can make money in the theater. Obviously, Jung Hyuk-jae’s several films can meet these two requirements.

“I wonder how Hyuk-jae-ssi’s “Old Thousand” was filmed? I heard that Bong Joon-woo -ssi’s “The Host” has also started shooting? Park Kwang-hyun-ssi’s “Beauty” Was the filming of “Worries” started?” Next, Lee Sung-in asked a few questions one after another.

I saw Kang Sung-sin here and I was anxious. Don’t play this way. Although you are a bigwig in the industry at CJ Entertainment, you have to give the new Little Brother some soup, don’t you?

The two parties began to tear up the distribution rights of these three movies, and Lee Joon-ik joined in the fun, but he was not aiming for the distribution rights, but the production of “The Host” .

“Hyuk-jae -ssi, if you have any difficulties in the production of “The Host”, you can tell me!”
