Rebirth of the Director in Korea

If you said that Jung Hyuk-jae didn’t know the meaning of Kang Sung-sin in front of him before, then when Kang Sung-sin is about to speak out, the bottom of Jung Hyuk-jae’s heart Li also suddenly realized that the cooperation he was talking about was the cooperation in the film.

Lotte Entertainment is eager to open its own situation in the movie circle, not to mention Hegemon like CJ.E&M, but at least he should also have a certain position in the circle, instead of talking about Lotte, everyone first I think of Lotte Department Store, then Lotte Cinema, and finally everyone thinks of Lotte Entertainment, a film production and distribution company.

Since its establishment last year, Lotte Entertainment has also invested as an investor in several films produced by Small Accomplishment, but after all, the investment is limited, and when it comes to Small Accomplishment, the destined influence is minimal, even The release days are only a short period of two and a half weeks. As far as the number of viewers and the box office are concerned, it can only be said that Lotte Entertainment will not lose money after these films are released. It can only be said that it is mutual profit and loss!

In fact, if you are at a loss, Rakuten doesn’t care that much. After all, the general environment of the movie is here. Only a part of the box office profits of the movies released. In addition to the box office, there are also implanted advertisements, movie copyrights, This series of income from overseas copyrights, etc., in fact, if you lose money, you can pay attention to Lotte Entertainment, so some losses are also worthwhile.

Lotte Entertainment also hopes to participate in the big directors and big-produced movies in the investment circle, but these directors either sign contracts with film production companies, or they have good partnerships with these production companies. If it is not a special situation, the investor and partner will not be changed easily at all.

Like some large-scale movies, Lotte is even more unable to get involved, such as Hegemon CJ.E&M in the entertainment industry. These movies are either solely owned by CJ.E&M or a partnership within the CJ Union. It’s always a good thing to have multiple parties to take the risk. It’s just that CJ.E&M still has to take up the bulk of these investments.

Because everyone first considers the film production company that has a cooperative relationship, not the newly established Lotte Entertainment.

At the beginning of the company’s establishment, that is, last year, Lotte Entertainment held a “New Power Project for Movies” activity, not only to encourage new generation directors to create new types of movies, but also to Looking for creative and potential directors for his company’s new generation power, after a few years of signing and training, these people can also become well-known figures in the movie circle. Kang Sung-sin has always believed in this.

The former Kang Sung-sin was also very confused. He did not know where the company under his presidency should start, and where should it start, even with the “New Power of Movies” plan, but such a plan The effect is slow, not to mention how long it will take to develop such a director. But when Kang Sung-sin saw Jung Hyuk-jae, all the doubts in his heart disappeared at this moment, it was him!

When “My Lovely Sam-soon” ended with a perfect score of over 50%, no one in the circle dared to question Jung Hyuk-jae’s ability in directing TV dramas, especially in terms of script and plot rhythm On the control.

When the results of “Welcome to Dongmakgol” were freshly released, everyone was once again surprised by Jung Hyuk-jae’s vision when selecting the film. What kind of eyes could he choose from thousands of scripts? Of a movie script?

Although Jung Hyuk-jae has never proven himself in the movie circle, at the premiere ceremony of “Welcome to Dongmakgol”, Jung Hyuk-jae also talked about his views on the film and claimed I might direct a movie in the future, but this sentence is actually enough!

“Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi, in fact, I came here this time mainly to invite you to direct the film. In addition, we can also talk about the cooperation in film production. I also learned about Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi You opened a film production company. As juniors in the film industry, we can actually cooperate more in this aspect!”

Kang Sung-sin straight to the point said, with light fingers Knock it lightly on the rim of the cup, staring straight at Jung Hyuk-jae with a pair of eyes.

“Please me?” Jung Hyuk-jae was surprised, and even more surprised. This seemed to be the first company to direct a movie by himself.

In fact, since I invested in “Welcome to Dongmakgol”, the mind of directing a movie has spread and grown in Jung Hyuk-jae’s heart like a grass. Perhaps as a filmmaker, I want to Bringing the stories I thought of to the big screen, Jung Hyuk-jae is no exception, but before I can spare time to think about it, Lotte Entertainment has already come to my door!

“Kang Sung-sin -ssi, to be honest, I was very surprised to hear your proposal!” Jung Hyuk-jae lifts the head to look at Kang Sung-sin in front of him, and then said: “In fact, as a newcomer in the entertainment industry who has just entered for more than a year, what I did is far from good enough!” See Jung Hyuk-jae humble, Kang Sung-sin immediately retorted: “If It’s really like what Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi said, then everyone can hit the wall!”

50% ratings, just by virtue of this, you can brag for a lifetime. Think about these. How many TV series have an annual audience rating of more than 50%? “My Lovely Sam-soon” can be said to have broken the records of many TV dramas, like the highest ratings for its premiere in 2015, the highest ratings for Grand Finale is almost 55%, these all are created by Jung Hyuk-jae ‘miracle’.

About Jung Hyuk-jae, Kang Sung-sin thought a lot when he was at first. It’s nothing more than whether he can direct a good movie, and whether he can do it in a limited time. Tell everyone a complete story? However, after seeing Jung Hyuk-jae, the worries in Kang Sung-sin’s heart finally disappeared.

Speaking of which, Kang Sung-sin is thirty-six or seventeen years old this year, but when he sees Jung Hyuk-jae, he will still be surprised by Jung Hyuk-jae’s calmness and sophistication , Is this really a young guy of twenty-five and sixteen years old?

“Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi, you only need to write the script, as long as the script is approved by our company, then the budget and payment can be reported. The director and the script are paid separately! I I can guarantee that Lotte Entertainment will give the greatest degree of convenience in the production of the movie!” Kang Sung-sin solemnly vowed said.

Although the words are good, Jung Hyuk-jae still needs to think about it. Movies are far less simple than TV dramas. So after listening to Kang Sung-sin, Jung Hyuk-jae couldn’t help but fall into it. Contemplation…

…………………….. …………..

“Ga-in, SBSTV Station has sent an audition invitation. You will prepare for it next week, and then let’s go to SBSTV Station!” Hong Su-jin glanced at his artist and said.

“What TV series?” Han Ga-in was a little curious. After all, since the end of “Super Rookie”, the company has been squeezing all its potential, from commercials to commercials. She has been to almost every place in the country during the time, and she played a song on the field, and then showed her face, and the money went into her pocket. It is a bit evil to wish to earn a dime.

“The script will be sent by SBSTV Station later, I will also tell you in advance, so that when the time comes, you don’t have to be in a hurry. Actually, you don’t need to panic too much. The audition time is still early. This time next week. Why go to the interview.” Hong Su-jin comforted.

In fact, it’s no wonder that Han Ga-in is so excited. Since the end of “Super Rookie”, she has not received any TV dramas for almost a few months, especially Mizuki dramas like SBSTV Station. According to my manager Hong Su-jin just now, the show’s time has been fixed, and the time is set at the end of December 14th. It can be said that the time is a very good schedule. The welcome drama of SBSTV Station.

“Ga-in, have you been in contact with Jung Hyuk-jae-ssi recently?” Hong Su-jin suddenly asked, a pair of Jung Hyuk-jae in front of him with unblinking eyes. Full of curiosity.

“No…” Hearing Hong Su-jin’s words, Han Ga-in was obviously stuck in his speech, and then explained: “I haven’t contacted him recently, but I’ve talked to him before. After a phone call, he was busy shooting “My Lovely Sam-soon” at that time, so I didn’t bother too much.”

I heard Han Ga-in’s voice. , Hong Su-jin’s eyes suddenly lit up, and she seemed to have discovered something, but then she continued to say: “Ga-in, the news of Jung Hyuk-jae-ssi’s movie “Welcome to Dongmakgol”, you two Have you ever watched it before?”

“Have you seen it!” Hearing Hong Su-jin’s question, Han Ga-in couldn’t help but be nodded. I could have watched it when the movie premiered. As for Speaking of news, let alone.

Under the promotion of CJ Entertainment, although it is the off-season for tourism, the number of people who have gradually declined since this movie has gradually started to climb. It can be said that most recently because of the movie “Welcome to Dongmakgol”, There are more and more tourists visiting Gangwon-do. At this time, I have to admire Jung Hyuk-jae, because a movie is not only wonderful in the film’s lines and plot, but also in the publicity role played by the movie. Jung Hyuk-jae uses his advanced publicity mind to “Welcome to Dongmakgol” was perfectly promoted.

“By the way, Sister Jin! Which director of SBSTV Station is the audition you just mentioned?” Han Ga-in asked suddenly.

“Director Jeon Ki-chang, what’s wrong?” Hearing Han Ga-in’s words, Hong Su-jin inevitably felt a little strange.

“It turned out to be him!” Hearing this person’s name, Han Ga-in was stunned, and only then did Hong Su-jin’s Jeon Ki-chang understand the relationship.

“Ga-in, what’s wrong with you?” Hong Su-jin was surprised.

“Nothing, I just ask!” Han Ga-in shook the head, and then he turned his attention to the name Hong Su-jin just said, it turned out to be Jeon Ki-chang?

Jeon Ki-chang, born in 1959, can be said to be one of the representatives of the “late bloomer”. He has been working in TV Station for the staff, Jeon Ki-chang has started his own work at SBSTV Station. journey of.

If this is the case for this part of life in the middle, then last year’s “Sassy Girl Chun-hyang” let everyone see his talent and his own abilities.

“Sassy Girl Chun-hyang” is a Moon-Fire Drama produced by KBSTV Station in South Korea in 2005. The drama is adapted from the traditional South Korea folktale “Chun Hyang Chuan”. -eun, Hong Miran) Screenwriter, directed by Jeon Ki-chang, starring Han Chae-young, Jae Hee, Um Tae Wong, and Park Shi Eun.

The play not only has modern school romance, family life, etc., but also the ancient loyalty and perseverance of love. At the same time, the play has a good grasp of the character’s character, Chunxiang’s Hard work and Menglong’s struggling pursuit make the audience full of a sense of substitution in the play. Especially the performances of the two leading actors, Jae Hee is energetic, a little like tricks, but very cute; while Chun Hyang is beautiful and moving, giving people a dazzling feeling all the time.

The TV series was broadcast on KBSTV Station in South Korea on January 3, 2005, and then became the 2005 South Korea Spring Rating Champion with the highest ratings of 32.1%.

Director of “Sassy Girl Chun-hyang” and obtained Dae-sung credits, he quickly entered the sight of SBSTV Station. After resigning from KBS, Jeon Ki-chang could only do it for his own life. Work hard, so when SBSTV Station sent the invitation, Jeon Ki-chang agreed without the slightest hesitation.

Jeon Ki-chang’s first shot at SBSTV Station was officially launched, and the new script he prepared this time is called “MyGirl”, a romantic comedy.

“MyGirl?” After waiting for almost half an hour, SBSTV Station finally sent the script and the plot summary, and heard the script name Han Ga-in in Hong Su-jin’s mouth. I was a little stunned, what is this name?

“Of course you can also call this show “My Girl”!” Hong Su-jin said next.

“My Girl?” Compared to the tall English name just now, Han Ga-in still prefers this name.

Han Ga-in took the synopsis of the plot from Hong Su-jin’s hands, don’t you know it was shocked, it’s too concise, right?

‘A youthful romantic comedy telling four men and women’, what is this?
