Chapter 581: Premiere (I)
OrionMegabox cinema is a pure cinema chain, as long as there is a movie, the information can be guaranteed to a certain extent, OrionMegabox is not refused, whether it is a Korean local movie, or a foreign movie.
It is precisely because of the OrionMegabox cinema that many movies will come to the door almost as soon as possible, and first negotiate with OrionMegabox about the release of the movie and the distribution of benefits.
After all, whether it is a Korean film agency or a film production company, the pure OrionMegabox theatrical perfection is the easiest to get.
In contrast, CJ Group's CGV Cinema and Lotte Group's Cinmea Cinema are much more difficult to manage than OrionMegabox Cinema.
Because unlike the pure cinema chain OrionMegabox, whether it is CGV Cinema or Cinmea Cinema, there is a huge group behind it, and it does not rely on the box office revenue of the movie release to survive.
Therefore, compared with OrionMegabox theaters, CGV theaters and Cinmea theaters are much more demanding, especially with regard to the distribution of profits at the box office of the movie, which is definitely more greedy than OrionMegabox, and the distribution of benefits is more.
Therefore, unlike the OrionMegabox cinema chain, CGV cinema and Cinema cinema must be paid attention to, and it must be cautious. As for the movie being released in these two theaters at that time, how the box office revenue will be distributed depends on the negotiation between the two parties before the release of the movie.
In response to this situation, MC Company did not sit idle. Kim Woo-beom and Hong Seung-sung definitely plan to go out in person and have a good chat with the heads of CGV and Cinmea Cinemas.
In response to Hong Seung-sung's humility, he signaled Kim Woo-beom to choose the first choice, and after simple thinking, Kim Woo-beom finally chose CGV Cinema, a subsidiary of CJ Group. Then the rest of the Lotte Group's Cinmea cinema line will naturally be handed over to Hong Shengcheng to be responsible for and handle.
Kim Woo-beom chose CJ Group's CGV Cinema Line. The main reason is that in CJ Group's CGV theater line, perhaps within CJ Group, Samsung's Lee family still has a lot of energy.
Although CJ Group is a group that was deliberately created by the compromise of Korea's top families and groups, and each family and group has people within CJ Group, in general, the position and strength of CJ Group are different because of the different strengths of each family.
Samsung's Lee family is the first family in South Korea, and Samsung Group is also the first group in Korea. This is destined to make Samsung's Lee family's position in CJ Group definitely not low, and it can even be said that it is one of the top people in CJ Group.
In fact, CJ Group does not have a president or president due to its special nature, and although it has the role of chairman, it is only nominally and does not have the absolute power of the chairman. On the contrary, it is just the product of the compromise of the major families.
At CJ Group, the top level is the representative director. There are three of them in CJ Group: Lee Jae-hyun, Son Kyung-sik, and Jung Hong-kyun.
From the surnames of the three representatives of CJ Group, you can see that the people behind the three representatives are represented.
Lee Jae-hyun naturally represents the Samsung Lee family, although Lee Jae-hyun's father, Lee Meng-hee, used to compete with Lee Kun-hee, the current head of Samsung, for the position of the family and lost. and was kicked out of the Lee family by Lee Kun-hee.
But in the final analysis, Lee Jae-hyun is still a member of the Lee family, and on the surface, it seems that he has a lot of trouble with Lee Kun-hee's faction and has completely become a dead place, but in fact, who knows the real situation.
At least. The whole of South Korea knows that Lee Jae-hyun's father, Lee Mengxi, is the eldest son, although he has never fucked his younger brother Lee Kun-hee, but after all, he is the eldest son. From this identity and perspective, Lee Jae-hyun can also be regarded as the eldest grandson.
Because of Lee Jae-hyun's identity, it is not unreasonable to say that it is the representative of Samsung's Lee family in CJ Group, although the relationship between Lee Jae-hyun and Lee Kun-hee's faction is very stiff at present, but many times, many things, who can say so absolutely.
Jung Hong-kyun, the Jung family undoubtedly represents the Jeong family of Hyundai Group, and in fact it is, Jung Hong-kyun was originally the representative of the Hyundai Jung family in CJ Group.
In the end, only Son Kyung-sik has no background, and he is indeed a representative of CJ Group itself.
The reason is very simple, that is, they are afraid that the Lee family of Samsung and the Hyundai Jung family will ignore the interests of CJ Group for their own interests or some purpose, and deliberately add Son Kyung-sik as a representative director.
At the same time, Son Kyung-sik is a person who completely represents the owner of CJ Group, without any family or background, and focuses on the development of CJ Group.
In general, the appearance of Son Kyung-sik is the product of the compromise between the Samsung Lee family and the modern Zheng family, and the purpose is very simple, that is, at a critical time, when the Li family and the Zheng family completely fall out, there are still people who can stand up and control the scene, after all, the matter is big, which makes CJ's vitality hurt.
CJ Group is a product of major families and station managers, but in any case, CJ Group has become one of the top groups in Korea. Since it is a top-level group, it is naturally very profitable, unless there is really no way, maybe it is completely torn in the face, otherwise, the major families naturally hope that CJ Group can do well and develop smoothly, so that they can make more money and share more money themselves.
Therefore, in order to control the Samsung Lee family and the Hyundai Zheng family, the three representative directors of the CJ Group, Son Kyung-sik of the neutral faction has the most power and the highest status, and if there is no guarantee of this, it is natural that he will not be able to control the scene.
The reason why Kim Woo-beom chose to come to CJ Group to discuss with CJ Group's CGV Cinema about the release of "Sunny" in CJ Group's CGV Cinema is because CJ Group has Lee Jae-hyun's Cun Zài.
Because as early as when he shared the spoils with Li Fuzhen before, Kim Yufan also told Li Fuzhen about the release of the movie "Sunny" he filmed, and Li Fuzhen said very directly that he would go to Lee Jae-hyun when the time came, and he would say hello to Lee Jae-hyun and promise not to let Kim Yu-fan suffer.
From Li Fuzhen's words and attitude. Jin Yufan quickly reacted, the seizure of power and the secret fight between Li Mengxi and Li Kunxi back then were probably all acting, and the purpose was to separate the family, at least in this way, the safety of the Li family would be greater.
Because the South Korean government wants to deal with the Lee family. Naturally, it is the strongest side to deal with, which is the three-star Li family. It is useless for the separated Lee Jae-hyun lineage, and it has no effect at all, so it is also very safe for the Lee Jae-hyun lineage.
Even if one day Lee Kun-hee and his vein are completely killed by the South Korean government, there is only Lee Jae-hyun's vein, which can be regarded as holding the bloodline.
What's more, Lee Kun-hee's line was removed, and Lee Jae-hyun's line is a member of the Lee family after all. You can also continue to master the Samsung Group at a very fast speed, and it will still be a Li family at that time.
For the Li family, in this way, there are two lives, and there is a huge guarantee of safety. At the same time, Lee Jae-hyun is outside, and for the Samsung Lee family, it is the sentinel and the first line of defense, and it is also the last hope.
As for why Li Mengxi's line was separated from the Li family in the first place, Jin Yufan estimated that it was because. Only in this way can it be proved that both sides are completely torn apart.
After all. In principle, Lee Meng-hee is the son of the three-star Li family, and it stands to reason that he should inherit the family business, but in the end, he was also taken away by Lee Kun-hee, and this hatred is great, definitely a great hatred. It can't be resolved at all.
In short, Jin Yufan didn't know the specific situation, and after so many years, Jin Yufan couldn't guess it, not to mention that Jin Yufan was not interested in it.
At least. Kim Yu-beom knows one thing, that is, the relationship between Lee Jae-hyun and the Samsung Lee family is not as bad as outsiders think, at least in terms of personal friendship with Lee Fu-jin, it is better.
Otherwise, Lee Fuzhen would not simply say that he would go to Lee Jae-hyun, and promised to call Lee Jae-hyun in advance, so that Lee Jae-hyun would not embarrass himself.
In fact, the whole process was smoother than Kim Yu-fan imagined, although he did not see Lee Jae-hyun himself, it is estimated that Lee Jae-hyun did not look down on the chairman of a small brokerage company like Kim Yu-fan, so he did not meet Kim Yu-fan.
But before Kim Yu-fan came to Lee Jae-hyun, he deliberately talked to Lee Fu-jin on the phone, and Lee Fu-jin also readily said that he would say hello to Lee Jae-hyun. So in the end, although Lee Jae-hyun did not meet Kim Yu-fan, he still sent a subordinate to meet Kim Yu-beom.
I don't know if it's because of Lee Boo-jin, Lee Jae-hyun doesn't care about Kim Woo-beom's movie "Sunny" very much, or that CJ Group has never relied on its CGV theater chain, relying on movie releases and box office stratification to survive.
Although CJ Group's CGV cinema line did not make any concessions in terms of interests, the benefits given were definitely to regard Kim Woo-beom as Korea's top director, and to give Kim Woo-beom the best proportion of box office stratification to Kim Woo-beom in CJ Group's CGV cinemas.
Compared with Kim Yu-fan's side, Cinmea Cinema Line, a subsidiary of Lotte Group, is relatively much more difficult. Cinmea Cinema has been biting a large proportion of interests, which makes Hong Shengcheng miserable.
In the end, it was Kim Yu-beom who joined the negotiations, which made Lotte Group Cinmea Cinema Line back down a little, but it was only some.
After a detailed calculation, Kim Yu-fan and Hong Seung-sung found that if the movie was released in the Lotte Group Cinmea theater, if the movie reached the number of moviegoers, it would be able to protect the capital, and how much could it make a little money, and they found that there was still money.
In the end, MC agreed to the 65% box office profit ratio demanded by Lotte Group Cinmea, and the box office revenue Cinmea Cinema Line took out 65%, and the remaining 35% of the box office had to be distributed to the production company, investors, and publicity costs. If the movie "Sunny" is a movie with MC company rules from beginning to end, it also means that the remaining 35% of the revenue will all go into the pocket of MC company, otherwise, MC company, Kim Yufan and Hong Seung-sung will definitely not agree to the Cinema lion's mouth.
Of course, this matter will not be so lightly forgotten, Jin Yufan is not a generous and good-tempered person, but because there is no way now, and there is no opportunity and strength to retaliate, he can only wait patiently.
The scary thing is that Jin Yufan's patience is very good. You can wait patiently for the opportunity to retaliate slowly. In fact, as long as the movie "Sunny" succeeds and completely launches Kim Woo-beom's fame in the Korean film industry, the next movie will be completely different.
At that time, Jin Yufan will be a big director, and with Jin Yufan's own popularity and influence, the movie is definitely very interesting. When the time comes, it doesn't matter if it's a movie or be released in theaters, these things will be much easier, and they will also be able to get greater benefits.
But now, although there is a "Twilight Twilight" that is popular all over the world. But for many Koreans, especially Korean film professionals, there are still great doubts about whether Kim Yu-beom can shoot Korean movies.
But as long as Jin Yufan "Sunny" is released, it can get very good results and viewers, plus the great success of "Twilight: Twilight". Kim Woo-beom can definitely shrink and rise to become the oldest director in South Korea, but at the same time, the top director.
At that time, Jin Yufan's movie will definitely be very attractive, if the movie wants to be released, the major theaters will also open the door of convenience, and even give back some of the benefits, which is very possible.
But now, Kim Yu-beom hasn't proven himself in South Korea. So I can only frown, and still open my mouth by the lion of Cinmea Cinemas. Bully yourself, then write it down in a small notebook, and wait for a chance to retaliate in the future.
Korean movies, whether they are foreign Hollywood blockbusters or Korean local films, basically only need to negotiate the release of the movie with the three major theater chains. Basically, everything is OK.
Now, this is the case with MC companies, where the three major theaters have negotiated the release time of the movie, the number of screens, including the distribution of benefits, and so on. Now there is basically nothing to do, just wait patiently and wait for the day when the movie will be officially released.
The movie "Sunny" became the first film shot by Kim Yu-fan in South Korea on the spot, relying on his status and influence, mainly because of Kim Yu-fan's current international popularity, plus Li Fuzhen helped to say a few words, so the movie "Sunny" was directly set to the level of a movie that can be watched by teenagers over 15 years old from the beginning, rather than being 18 years old at the beginning like the original version, and then after modifying and cutting, it got the level of teenagers over 15 years old.
June 16, 2009, this is just an ordinary day for many people. But this day is definitely a very special day for Jin Yufan and MC company.
Because just today, the movie "Sunny" invested and filmed by MC Company is about to be officially released.
Early in the morning, Kim Yu-beom got up from bed, and then went to DC to start putting on makeup, and met the four Fin.K.L who also came here to put on makeup. In the end, the five of them put on makeup, got into the car together, and rushed to the Korean theater where the movie premiered.
The Korean Theater is definitely the most well-known theater in South Korea, and it is also a landmark building in Chungmuro, the base of Korean films, and even the entire city of Seoul.
Before ten o'clock in the morning, countless fans and fans rushed over, holding all kinds of support materials and support cards, and began to wait quietly and patiently.
Because today is the day of the release of MC's first movie "Sunny", and because the movie "Sunny" is a movie in which everyone in MC participates, this time the premiere of "Sunny" attracted not only fans, but also fans of Kim Yu-beom, Fin.K.L, Kara and missA, who all rushed to see their idols' performance and performance in the movie.
I thought that there would be a lot of fans at the scene, so as early as yesterday, MC Company had a practice with the Korean Theater, and today both parties will send people to the scene to maintain order at the scene.
At the same time, the Korean Theater expressed its gratitude to Kim Yu-beom for holding the premiere of his first local film in Korea at the Korean Theater, and specially prepared a 50-meter-long red carpet to facilitate the presence of stars from all walks of life at the premiere.
As the host, Kim Yu-fan and Fin.K.L of course rushed over in advance, and the official release of the movie will be at 12 o'clock at noon, but in the previous more than an hour, as the host, Kim Yu-fan must bring Fin.K.L to greet the guests who attended the premiere of "Sunny" this time.
"Ah......h
As the four of Jin Yufan and Fin.K.L got out of the car, the fans waiting on both sides of the red carpet were completely ignited, and after discovering that the first to appear was Jin Yufan and Fin.K.L, the fans were not calm at all, and began to burst out with their loudest voice and energy, shouting wildly.
Kim Yu-beom...... Jin Yufan ...... Kim Yu-beom ......"
“Fin.K.L…… Fin.K.L…… Fin.K.L……”
Amid the shouts of the fans, Kim Woo-beom held Lee Jin on the left, Sung Yo-ri on the right, and Ok Joo-hyun and Lee Hyo-ri stood on the left and right, walking in the center to enjoy the blessings of Qi people, smiling and walking on the red carpet. (To be continued......)
