“Boss, bring me a Chosun Ilbo.”

A small newsstand on the streets of Seoul, Yan Chengqing, a light man, walked to the newsstand and stood still and said.

“What did you say?”

The one who was watching the newsstand was an elderly old man. It is estimated that he could not hear the man’s words clearly, so he stuck out from the newsstand. I turned my body and looked at the man in front of me and asked again loudly.

“I said to give me a copy of “Chosun Ilbo”…” The man moved his lips and finally chose to give up. He reached out and searched the newsstand and found one soon. Chosun Ilbo was published today. After he found it, he raised the newspaper in his hand and raised up and asked, “Uncle, how much is this?”

After paying the money, the man held the paper in his hand. The newspaper was carefully clamped in his creak den, and then walked into the subway station, ready to take the morning subway to work.

Seoul is an international metropolis, and housing prices are naturally not cheap. Most youngsters rent places in the outermost part of this metropolis. If you have to give an example, it’s like outside Beijing. In Tongzhou and Daxing, and the place where I work is in the city, there are not only many people catching the subway early in the morning, but also very crowded. But today, his luck was not bad. Because he came early, he got a seat in the front row of the line. Soon the subway car was filled with crowds. This car was the only one. People outside are still squeezing to and fro, wanting to get on the first subway.

Sitting is naturally more comfortable than standing, especially when squeezed to and fro in a car like canned sardines. In time, he also took out the newspaper he bought and was interested in it. Read the news.

“”The King and The Clown” is actually offline?”

Seeing the report on “The King and The Clown” on Chosun Ilbo, Yan Chengqing has a face Depressed, because there was a software project in the company urging to ask for it. Although he had known that there was a new movie called “The King and The Clown” in the recent movie theater, it was very good, but he had not been able to spare the time. Come and see, I thought it would be okay to push the show for such a long time to two days later. After the project was over, he was going to go to the cinema alone. Who would let him have no girlfriend? It’s just who would have thought that the movie would go offline before he said he was going to watch it!

The full expectation can only be turned into the bitterness in my heart, and in the end only entanglement is left…

“Are you also a Busan?”

Yan Chengqing Another person was immersed in regret, and a surprise voice came from his head and asked himself.

“en?” Hearing someone talking to him, Yan Chengqing lifts the head to look at him. What caught his eyes was a girl with crisp short hair and soft hair, leaning on the pillar next to his seat. In the crowded carriages, they struggled to maintain their balance so as not to be in danger of being crowded around.

“I’m Busan, so are you?” Yan Chengqing also felt a little surprised. The experience of a stranger in another country will always make people feel a little touched, especially a beautiful girl.

“Yes, I am from Busan Shaxia, do you like “The King and The Clown” too?”

As a programmer, single dog, and senior FFF group member, Probably the only thing Yan Chengqing hasn’t learned is to communicate with the girl. Maybe it’s because the beautiful girl in front of him flashed his eyes, his face quickly turned red, and his speech became hesitant, “Uh…ah…it’s pretty good. I like it, but I didn’t wait until I watched it, and the movie was already offline.”

While speaking, Yan Chengqing stretched out his hand embarrassedly and scratched the back of his head, not knowing to tell a lie. Lie the girl in front of you.

“You haven’t watched it yet?” The girl was a little surprised. After all, this is a phenomenal movie with more than 12 million viewers. At present, the total number of South Korea is only a few. people? This almost means that one in four people has seen the movie “The King and The Clown”.

“en!” Yan Chengqing is nodded.

Speaking of this, after staying for too long, he realized that the girl had been standing since the first time he was talking to him, and he hurriedly stood up and invited the girl to sit down, “Come, Come sit here!”

“No, thank you!” The girl waved her hand and refused, but in the end she was no match for Yan Chengqing’s enthusiasm.

“Thank you!” the girl said gratefully.

“Are you going to school in Seoul or work?”

The beautiful girl blinked and said, “Do I look small?”

“I didn’t mean that.” Yan Chengqing hurriedly waved his hand to explain, and his eyes were not easily noticed across the girl’s chest, lest the girl had a bad impression of herself.

“I’m already at work, I’m working in the Central District…”

“Really?” Yan Chengqing was even more surprised now, “I am also eh, I am also in the Central District ……”

Thousands of stories that have happened because of “The King and The Clown”, this is only one of them, and more stories are still going on……

A few heavy news.

After reading these pieces of news, many senior insiders in the film and television industry have only a single thought in their hearts: the wolf is here!

…………………………………………………………………………

“Bong Joon-woo -ssi, May I ask what made you choose to cooperate with JHJFilm this time?”

At the production press conference of “The Host”, a reporter asked such a question.

“The Host” is not the first film directed by Bong Joon-woo. In 2000, a “Barking Dogs Never Bite” debuted, with the second film “Killing” directed in 2003. In addition to his high reputation, Memories also won many important awards.

Although he is only 38 years old this year, he has only made two works, but he is excellent. Because of this, the reporters in the audience are curious about what prompted Bong Joon-woo to cooperate with JHJFilm. Shooting the rare beast film mentioned in the introduction, after all, with his status and reputation in the circle, he did not have to choose JHJFilm, a heart-bearing film production company, but a plentiful and easily available old film production company in the circle, as long as he Speaking of the script, it is estimated that many companies will rush to send the money, right?

“”The Host” is not the same as my previous “Memories of Murder”. “Memories of Murder” is a crime film adapted from real cases, while “The Host” is the first in China. A rare beast movie…” At this point, Bong Joon-woo paused on purpose, and then said with a smile: “It should be the first one? I haven’t checked the information in detail. If you are wrong, everyone Don’t blame me.”

The reporters in the audience also laughed at the right time, but they did not forget the purpose of their trip. They hurry up and asked: “It’s because of other domestic film productions. Is the company not optimistic about rare beast movies?”

Some reporters keenly discovered this problem and raised their hands to ask questions.

“Of course it’s not all of this reason…” Bong Joon-woo said vaguely, savoring his words carefully, which means that he did not deny the question raised by the reporter just now.

Everyone is not optimistic about rare beast movies? There are still a lot of doubts in everyone’s hearts, even if they are not optimistic, after all, Bong Joon-woo’s name is placed here, at least it will not lose money.

“Then what is the production budget of this movie?”

For this question, Bong Joon-woo did not choose to answer, but gave the microphone to the sitting Jung Hyuk-jae beside him.

“The total production budget is one hundred 2 billion!” Jung Hyuk-jae gently spit out a number into the microphone, and there was a burst of exclamation from the audience.

“Hey… enough!”

“Enough to shoot two “The King and The Clown”.”

“So High production costs, how much money should be paid to recoup the cost.” Although the reporters in the audience were discussing in a low voice, everyone did not forget who would be the protagonist and wait on stage. Several of the protagonists have left, and even if they want to find some information to write a report, they have nowhere to look.

“Jung Hyuk-jae -ssi, do you have much confidence in this movie? Does such a high production cost suppress all the profits of “The King and The Clown”?” A reporter raised his hand not to be outdone to ask questions.

In addition to Jung Hyuk-jae, as the director of “The Host”, Bong Joon-woo is also the subject of the reporter’s attention. “Bong Joon-woo -ssi, are other production companies in the circle right? Worried about the cost of the movie and chose not to invest?”

“With such a high cost, what do you think of the prospects of this movie?”

“Compared with this year’s “The “King and The Clown”, do you think “The Host” can surpass “The King and The Clown”?”

For a while, the venue seemed messy, and soon it was related to the movie “The Host” The news was published on the Internet, and more and more netizens joined the discussion after seeing it…
