Rebirth of the Director in Korea

The change of investors in “The King and The Clown” did not cause everyone to know, except for some people in the circle, no one else. After all, now that the filming of “The King and The Clown” is at its most important point, Lee Joon-ik doesn’t want to disrupt his filming plan because of the media at this time, because his target schedule is to be released in December at the end of this year.

Lotte Entertainment, as a film production company under the Lotte Group, also has its own theater and distribution company. Lotte Entertainment has not been established for a long time. As it was just established last year, it is a group of movies in South Korea. The production company can only be regarded as the younger brother, but because of the Lotte Group, no one dares to underestimate it.

As a director of Lotte Entertainment, Kang Sung-sin has been very irritable recently and has become increasingly irritable.

As a film company focused on film production and distribution, it is not easy to survive under the siege of a large number of established film production companies such as CJ and ShowBox.

Since it is a film production and distribution company, it is natural to invest in and distribute films, but these are literally so simple. It can be said that CJ.E&M has divided up nearly one third cake in the film industry. The remaining two-thirds are divided up by many other established film companies, and the remaining small companies can only struggle on whilst at death’s door in the cracks of this big company.

Compared with the above, it is even more difficult to be made difficult by the theater representatives in the distribution of the movie. If the movie produced by Small Accomplishment is not a special plot, then it will not be obtained at all. The attention of the theaters, not to mention the film rate, the schedule of the screening alone was choked by people and had to be obeyed.

Lotte Entertainment, as a newly established film production and distribution company, has also indirectly helped many “fallen” directors and film production companies in the past two years, both in terms of schedule rate and screening time. It has never been harsh, and not only that, Lotte Entertainment has launched a “New Power of Movies” project. The content of the plan is to encourage new generation directors to create new types of movies, and it has smashed 2 billion as the near use of this plan. For filming.

After all, Lotte local tyrants have their own cinema chain, Lotte Cinema, because of the’New Power of Movies’ project, Lotte Entertainment has a good reputation in the movie circle.

It’s just that the reputation is good but it doesn’t stand up to it. Can these movies really make money?

For this question, Kang Sung-sin has been thinking about it for a long time. The longer he is immersed in the film circle, the more he knows that the quality of the film is always proportional to the cost. Although some high-cost movies may not be very good in themselves, the quality of the movie, whether it is the picture or the lens, is incomparable to those of the Small Accomplishment movies.

Why last year’s “Tae Guk Gi: The Brotherhood of War” was able to get tens of millions of viewers, isn’t it a very real movie war scene that has been heavily invested? The more you develop in the future, the more the Dae-sung movies of the big production can get the attention and love of the audience. The more such works, the higher the chance of success.

For this point, Kang Sung-sin is clearer, but what’s the point of being clear and clear? Where is such a movie?

“Director Kang!”

Someone outside the door knocked on the office door, Kang Sung-sin only then lifts the head, tidyed up his appearance, and cleared his throat Then he said: “Please come in!”

“Director Kang, this is the number of moviegoers and the box office last week, please check it out!” The young man who came in respectfully held the folder in his hand It was placed on Kang Sung-sin’s desk, and then he dropped his arms and waited quietly, waiting for Kang Sung-sin’s question.

“Let me take a look.” Kang Sung-sin picked up the folder on the desk and opened it as a table. Although it looks very simple, the number of viewers, attendance and box office are all counted. It’s clear, and it seems clear at a glance.

Scanning the number of viewers of these movies on the table, Kang Sung-sin couldn’t help but be attracted by a movie. What attracted his attention even more was the movie watching described later. Number of people.

“Tell me about the situation of “Welcome to Dongmakgol”.”

Mingming is only a three-day movie, and it was shown in Lotte Cinemas. It was full, and the single theater set a record number of 20,000 people in three days. How could this not surprise Kang Sung-sin!

“It’s like this, “Welcome to Dongmakgol” is a war movie produced by JHJFilm and Park Kwang-hyun and released by CJ.E&M. The movie was released the day before yesterday, which is the 2nd day view of the movie’s release. The number of people in the movie has successfully broken through one million, reaching 1.02 million people!”

The guy standing in front of Kang Sung-sin said carefully that he carried the information on his back at first. In my mind, it is precisely because of my adequate preparations that at this time I will not feel panicked.

Listening to the report of his subordinates, Kang Sung-sin’s head is little by little, and the pen in his hand is tapping the tabletop for a while, making a’da da’ sound. Obviously Kang at this time Sung-sin is thinking, following the words of his subordinates.

“Tell me about JHJFilm.” After his subordinates finished introducing the background of the film, Kang Sung-sin immediately asked again.

“Oh, yes, JHJFilm is a film production company just established in the circle recently. The boss behind the scenes is the current director of MBCTV Station Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi. It is understood that in addition to JHJFilm, there are also A JHJ Entertainment was also founded by him.” The young man couldn’t help showing envy in his eyes when he said that. He just graduated last year, so why didn’t he have such a good blessing?

Of course, this thought only circulated in his mind, and then he was thrown behind his head, and devoted himself to introducing information about JHJFilm.

“The only one film invested by JHJFilm I have learned is “Welcome to Dongmakgol”, which is currently being shown online in major theaters.”

“This is what I have learned so far. , Director Kang!”

After listening to his subordinates, Kang Sung-sin’s face once again showed a thoughtful look, browsing tightly frowns, and he didn’t know what was in his mind.

“Director Kang?” Seeing that he had been silent, the subordinate asked softly.

“Oh, you can help me find the contact information of Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi, and say I want to treat him to a meal!” came back to his senses Kang Sung-sin warned repeatedly .

“Okay, I will go now!” As for the boss, the subordinates did not dare to be vague at all. Not only did they dare not to be vague, but even after listening to the boss’s instructions, he immediately opened the door and left. I went out and ran all the way to find contact information.

Watching his subordinates ran out, Kang Sung-sin slightly smiled, and then turned his gaze on the table of the number of viewers on the desktop again, staring at the glare of “Welcome to Dongmakgol” The number of viewers of the movie, Kang Sung-sin thought a lot in his mind for a moment.

‘not simple now! ‘

The name of’Jung Hyuk-jae’ was written on the paper in the pen in his hand. Seeing this read some ordinary names, Kang Sung-sin realized that he was a little expectant for the next two Met up.

………………………………

In the last two days, Jung Hyuk-jae has lived a life of two points one line from three o’clock and one line. When I was filming “My Lovely Sam-soon”, he was running three sides at home, company, and TV Station. Now he is a lot free. Become home-running on both sides of the company, although it seems to be free, but in fact, it is busier than before.

The filming of “The King and The Clown” doesn’t need Jung Hyuk-jae to take care of it. It just has the title of a producer, so you can’t just ignore the movie at all, right?

“Welcome to Dongmakgol” is currently in theaters. Although the release of the film was handed over to CJ.E&M, I can’t just pay attention to it, right?

Because of the success of “Welcome to Dongmakgol”, JHJFilm’s reputation has also increased greatly in the movie circle recently. Many directors and production companies have invested film project books here, hoping from the bottom of their hearts You can cooperate with Jung Hyuk-jae, or you can get Jung Hyuk-jae’s investment. You have to know that “Welcome to Dongmakgol” is so exciting that many film companies in the circle are jealous. Now, no one in the circle knows JHJFilm, a small company. ‘!

It took only two days for “Welcome to Dongmakgol” to break through one million movie viewers, and it took three days for the number of viewers to break through 2 million. The box office on weekdays was originally better than that on holidays. However, according to statistical data, the attendance rate of “Welcome to Dongmakgol” in a single theater can still reach more than 50% even on weekdays. What is this concept?

The achievement of breaking 2 million movie viewers in five days has made many film production companies stunned. This is so unscientific! When did the Small Accomplishment movie start to dominate the Ranking List at the box office?

Many of the movies that chose to be released during this time were dumbfounded. I thought it would be a good time to be released in August. There are not too many movies to get together, and there are no big Hollywood blockbusters to grab the market. The students also have time and can mix up a good grade. But no one didn’t expect Hollywood blockbusters to meet, a “Welcome to Dongmakgol” made everyone extremely embarrassed! What’s wrong with this?

Many filmmakers are a little speechless, and they are curious about what kind of liar this is. After they enter and watch it again, everyone is convinced. Look at me, I Look at you, no one says anything.

After watching the first time, many filmmakers went to the second time. If they said that the first time was to watch the plot, then as filmmakers, the second time they walked into the cinema It is to study the lines of the movie. A good movie must have an excellent storyline, and its rhythm must also be excellent!

For a time, “Welcome to Dongmakgol” became the research object of many filmmakers.

After reading today’s documents, Jung Hyuk-jae stretched out in a chair. After sitting for a day, the bones all over his body are full of soreness, so he gets up and moves. After a while, he felt better now.

Went to the window and glanced at the scenery outside the window, the traffic on the street seemed extremely busy, and the busy life always lived fast, so he wanted to stop, not just preparing to rest Then, the phone on the table rang again.

Jung Hyuk-jae picked up the phone and looked at the caller ID. It was an unfamiliar number and he had never seen it before.

Although it was strange in my heart, Jung Hyuk-jae still got on the phone and pressed the call button, “Hello, I’m Jung Hyuk-jae!”

“You Okay, Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi, I’m Kang Sung-sin from Lotte Entertainment!”

…………………… ……………………

An elegant café, the chandelier with warm yellow light over the head looks very cute , Grabbing a cup of coffee and sitting in the cafe is obviously a very pleasant thing. If you are with your boyfriend or girlfriend again, then it will be even more perfect!

This afternoon, Jung Hyuk-jae was also holding a cup of coffee, but he was not sitting in front of a beautiful Heavenly Immortal woman, let alone his girlfriend, but a shaggy Ajhussi. In other words, Ajhussi with shaggy beard and long hair, at least in Jung Hyuk-jae’s opinion, if you only look at the back, you can easily be deceived.

“Hello, Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi, I am Kang Sung-sin who called you this morning!” Kang Sung-sin glanced at Jung Hyuk-jae in front of him, and smiled and stretched out Own right hand.

“Hello, I’m Jung Hyuk-jae!”

He is not so much a director of Lotte Entertainment, but he is more of an artist with long hair. His voice sounded very magnetic, not a bit of a mother, and it matched his unshaven image. Just listening to the voice and looking at his long hair will give people a sense of disharmony, which is extremely strong. A sense of violation.

At this point, Jung Hyuk-jae just shook the gods for a few seconds, and immediately reacted, “Kang Sung-sin -ssi, is there anything you came to call me this time?”

When I heard Jung Hyuk-jae’s words, Kang Sung-sin did not drag Nana, but said straight to the point: “Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi, I came here to talk to you Cooperation!”

“Cooperation?” Hearing this, Jung Hyuk-jae was a little surprised.

“Yes, it is cooperation!” Kang Sung-sin emphasized again, “cooperation in film!”

LotteEntertainment? Cooperation?

For an instant, many thoughts flashed through Jung Hyuk-jae’s mind…
