"What are you looking at?"

Ahn Joon-hyuk turned around, Park Young-joon leaned over with two cups of coffee, "Drink a little refreshment, alas, I never knew that watching movies would be tiring." He sighed and watched the rough cut for nearly ten hours in a row, his eyes were bloodshot, and his face was crawling with exhaustion.

…… The way he looks now is probably similar to him......

His thoughts turned around divergently, and he took the cup casually and took a sip, the rich bitterness and faint milky aroma suddenly filled his mouth.

"Looking at the view?"

"yes, relax your eyes. Casually replied, the two stopped talking, and the brain, which had been tortured for a day, no longer wanted to think about anything more (I remembered that I used to play in a band, I was a bass, and every time I picked up the bass part, I felt like I was going to die...... ）。

I don't know if the caffeine takes effect or if climbing high and looking far away does help relieve fatigue, the two of them are a little more energetic, and they don't bother to go back to the office, so they find a rest area in the lobby on the fourth floor and sit down, and start talking about business.

Usually no one comes here at all, but I'm not afraid to disturb him.

"How does the film feel?"

"What about you?" Ahn Joon-hyuk asked rhetorically, Park Young-joon smiled bitterly: "I can't distinguish between good and bad, it's quite fresh when I watched the first part, and I've never seen a sample film! ”

"Hahahaha! This is the beginning, and you will be in charge of the entertainment company in the future. There are so many samples that you can't stop watching!"

“…… Can I regret taking over the entertainment company now?"

"No, I can't. Ahn Joon-hyuk shook his head.

Park Yingjun rolled his eyes: "Then what are you talking about, go to death!"

After a few jokes, Ahn Joon-hyuk groaned, restrained his smile, and shook his head in Park Young-jun's inquiring gaze: "You have also read the script at the beginning, it is all very ordinary material, and the assembly line products that have been extended according to some folk horror jokes, the directors we invited are also veterans of the assembly line, and it is impossible to make the film brilliant......"

This is the answer that should have been expected, but listen to Ahn Joon-hyuk. Park Young-jun still can't hide his disappointment: "Even if the story doesn't work." Aren't there any actors?"

"Why, you still want to unearth another Ha Ji Won from those actors introduced by the Entertainers Association?"

Park Yingjun shrugged: "It's hard to say! Reality is sometimes more bizarre and exciting than fiction." ”

"Stop dreaming. Smiling, Ahn Jun-hyuk didn't bother to deal with him. only continued: "The film is basically in line with expectations." ”

Hear this conclusion. Park Young-jun just sighed. It's not that he is demanding, but when he planned it, he had too low requirements for a few horror films - he didn't expect to be on the big screen at all. When the company decided on the investment amount, it aimed at DVD rental sales.

Ahn Jun-hyuk's so-called basically meeting expectations, another meaning of his words is...... That's a bunch of bad movies!

In fact, the fundamental purpose of the project has never been to think that these investments can recover the cost, this time it is just a test of the waters, the main intention is to open the home video market, expand the channel, which is equivalent to paying tuition to learn the rules of the market.

All kinds of research before the project is set up to serve this goal, and the quality of the film itself is secondary.

Every regular film and television company, in the start-up stage, probably has to go through a similar routine, the kind of film and television company established in the first year, and the next year to launch a heavyweight film with a large investment in an attempt to become famous, either the capital is capricious, or it is lucky, there is no third possibility, because they all went out of business!

invested in the filming of "The King's Man" last year, if Ahn Jun-hyuk hadn't insisted on it, that kind of unhealthy investment would have been cut by the management.

I haven't established a firm foothold in the circle yet, it's like I want to learn to run if I don't learn to walk, and if you take such a big step, the groin strain shouldn't hurt too much!

The only consolation is that the film is finally not so bad that it is unsightly, and if it works well, there is still hope for recovering the cost. Although Korean films have been losing ground in the face of Hollywood's offensive on the big screen, thanks to the unique and restrained aesthetics of the East Asian cultural circle, South Korea has inherited the model of psychological thriller horror films from Japan, but it has been revitalized, and last year and the beginning of this year, several successive word-of-mouth box office double harvest masterpieces have provided sufficient vitality for the market.

However, even if he understands this, Park Young-jun is still a little depressed.

has been with Ahn Junhyuk for a long time, and he seems to have a lot less patience in the face of the most basic low tide, "Speaking of which, since last year, you haven't seen any of the books that the company has received?

"Didn't you keep saying that my production of "The King's Man" was too big and undesirable, why did you change your tone now?"

Park Yingjun helplessly spread his hands: "No matter how big the gambling nature is, it is better than being half-dead like this! Seriously, is there a script you like? Don't worry, I support you this time, what you say you want to invest, I promise that it will be okay, and I will help you persuade the management!" he waved his hand very generously.

"You!" Ahn Junhyuk smiled and nodded at him, "The brain of watching the movie is confused, go home and sleep, I still have something to do, I am too lazy to waste time with you." ”

With that, he got up and was about to leave.

Park Young-jun also hurriedly stood up: "Hey, I'm kidding...... Hey, you're really leaving? It's all this time, the employees are off work, what else do you have to do?"

In response to him, Ahn Jun-hyuk waved his hand without looking back.

……

……

Ahn Jun-hyuk didn't perfunctory him, he really had something to do. At present, several companies named after "J.H" were originally separated from J.H Studios, among which the music department was the first to become independent, which is naturally J.H Music today, and the rest are integrated into J.H Entertainment, so its main business now includes performing arts agency, film and television production zuò (the game department has been separated and integrated into the J.H network), and the distribution department is still under construction.

The film and television production department, after the formalization of the company, continued to be subdivided into the film production department and the TV drama production department, which is the internal name, and the official name is film and television department 1 (movie) and film and television 2 (TV series).

One is going to test the water this year, and the second is naturally not idle.

J.H's current fame is still small, the production and distribution strength has not yet appeared, the scope of accepting script submissions is not large, and the choice is narrow, even if the second film sends people to the Filmmakers Association all day long to ask for food, drink and play, hoping to find a good script, but due to the conservative rules of the Korean radio and television industry, it is difficult to be effective.

In South Korea, the separation of production and broadcasting system is not as extensive as in Japan or the United States, and most of the major TV stations, even if they do not have state-owned capital and have the strongest business atmosphere, tend to conduct their own research and planning, and launch projects under the name of their own production companies. The reason for such a choice is, on the one hand, because the land area is small and the coverage of television broadcasting is limited, a disguised monopoly has long been formed, and the conservative model of self-production and self-sale has become a habit.

On the other hand, compared with TV stations, the capital of independent production companies is too weak to make large projects, and the price of small investment is that the films are shoddy, and the occasional excellent works are also short-lived, far from competing with TV stations.

In the long run, the best talent is concentrated in TV stations, and independent production companies are almost unwanted.

As for those who are willing to favor J.H Entertainment, J.H Entertainment may not be eye-catching - most of them are picked by TV stations, or have ulterior motives.

However, compared to the laissez-faire of the first part, Ahn Junhyuk is quite concerned about the development of the second part this year, but what makes the second part puzzled is that the project designated by the legendary chairman for the second part before going to Japan is not a TV series, but a variety show.

At night, the office is brightly lit, just like day.

In a fairly spacious space, the second minister grabbed the already scarce hair on the top of his head while flipping through the information in his hand. Next to him was another young man with a wooden expression, who was also looking through the stack of Wen Jiàn that was almost as thick as his hand.

Directly opposite the desk, sat two middle-aged people, one fat and one thin, although they tried to hide it, their behavior was always inevitably apprehensive.

The second minister is named Huang Zhixiang, a middle-aged uncle who began to lose his head, in view of the fact that there is no human rights in the dragon set, I will not introduce much here, we just need to know that he used to be the owner of an independent production company, and then the company collapsed due to poor management, and with his proficiency in the film and television business, he was poached by a headhunter hired by J.H and appointed as a minister.

In a certain way, he was willing to come to J.H, although he was bankrupt and couldn't live without work, and he didn't have the idea of making a comeback.

Originally, he felt that J.H Entertainment had just been established, and it was just the right time for him to show his talent and tide over the difficulties. It's a pity that I found out that J.H Company is good at everything, there is a star founder with high exposure and strong funds, but it is precisely the star founder who has too strong desire to control.

During the time he came to J.H, he took a fancy to several scripts, prepared an application for research, and sent them to Japan and was sent back.

Ahn Jun Hyuk even called him in person, clearly instructing that the main task of the second department this year is only that variety show, and other projects can apply, but during the preparation of the show, it must make way for it!

Huang Zhixiang was puzzled.

Variety Show ...... Hehe...... What is that?

Thinking about it, he was a little bored, and he had the heart to throw down the information in his hand, and lifted the table and said that Lao Tzu didn't see you bite me, but the corner of his eye swept over the young man beside him, and that desire had to be pressed back.

The youth is not his assistant, but the deputy minister of the second department, named Kim Hoon, who is said to have been Ahn Junhyuk's assistant before.

It's really one person who has attained the Tao, and the chickens and dogs have ascended to heaven!

Hwang Ji-sang never admits that he is jealous, he has always felt that Kim Hoon's storage zài is the nail that Ahn Junhyuk planted in the second department. But what made him helpless was that Ahn Junhyuk was also above board, and even demarcated the jurisdiction of Kim Hoon - he was fully responsible for the specific preparations for the No. 1 project of the second department, and he almost didn't say directly: I don't worry about you, so I sent someone to keep an eye on it, neither dividing your power nor hindering your work, and you usually ignore him.

He was speechless. (To be continued......)
