Chapter 513: "National Representatives"
Shooting a movie, and it's the first time a brand new company has made a movie, it's definitely not an easy task, and it's not a slogan that can be made with a few calls.
Don't look at Jin Yufan who is full of confidence, but only Jin Yufan himself knows how difficult it is for MC to shoot a movie. It's not about the script, but I'm worried about whether other production companies and actor management companies will boycott it, and whether the theater chain will cooperate or not, which is the most important thing.
Other actor agencies and production companies boycotted, you want people without people, if you want actors without actors, how can you make movies. Even if you manage to get together a crew talent from school or from somewhere else, and the actors don't have it, let the MC's own artists and trainees be on it.
I finally made a movie, but the theater didn't cooperate, and it was useless not to release your movie.
It can't be, it took so much money just to shoot a movie that the MC company itself enjoys. If the movie is filmed, no matter how good or bad, it can't even be released, then the movie will be a complete tragedy.
What's more, the army has not moved the grain and grass first, although the script Jin Yufan has not yet been created, and the MC Film and Television Department has not really been established. But for the filming of this film, the initial estimated shooting budget of 10 billion won has begun to be spent like flowing water.
The amount ~~~ This 10 billion won is not said to be the filming funds of the movie, after all, as far as Korean local films are concerned, the investment that can be made in white 100 million won is definitely a super big investment.
The reason why MC spent 10 billion won, of which 9 billion won was to buy shooting equipment, this is only the preliminary calculation of funds, it is estimated that this money is not necessarily enough, and there will definitely be enough additional funds to buy shooting equipment in the later stage.
10 billion won. The money that was really put on the filming of the movie was actually only one billion won, which is not much or enough at all.
Although the production of Korean local films is very rigorous, there will be no big production and money, but Korean local films. Under the current policy, the production cost of a film is almost between 20 and 4 billion won.
Not to mention anything else, such as the current value of the actor, it is a lot of money. The current Korean actors, especially the top actors, Song Kang-ho and Ha Jung-woo and others, are almost 300 million to 400 million won, second-class actors. For example, actors such as Jang Dong-kyun and Lee Byung-hun are paid between 200 million and 300 million won.
Of course, this is only temporary, or in a few years, this value can be doubled. By 2014, the salary of top actors had reached almost 600 million to 700 million won, and the salary of the next first-class actor had also reached about 500 million won.
Compared to the actor. Because of market reasons, Korean actresses are generally worth about 100 million won less than male actors. Ha Ji Won and Son Ye Jin. Including top actresses such as Ko Hyun-jeong, the current salary is almost 200 million to 300 million won. The salaries of second-class actresses, such as Jun Ji-hyun, Kim Hye-so, Lim so-jing, Lee Na-young, etc., are almost between 100 million won and 200 million won.
Of course, this is only a common phenomenon among Korean film actors, at least Kim Yu-beom is definitely not one of them. Now on Kim Yu Fan's popularity and influence. also has identity and status, basically no one dares to invite Jin Yufan to film, because the price is too great.
As far as Kim Woo-beom's current situation is concerned, the TV series will not give 50 million won for one episode, but 10% of the profit sharing. No one dared to speak, and they were embarrassed to invite Jin Yufan.
If it is a movie, Jin Yufan will not be paid at least one billion won, and box office dividends will be added, and the minimum will be more than 10%, otherwise the producer will be embarrassed to invite Jin Yufan to join the crew.
However, as far as the current value of Korean actors is concerned, there has been a significant increase compared to a few years ago. The billion won that MC invested in the early stage of the first film is simply not enough.
As long as the actor is contacted and the contract is signed with the actor, this money is not even enough to pay the actor's salary. Not to mention the crew, after all, photographers, gaffers, stylists, costume designers, etc., everyone also has to eat, who will help you work if you don't give money.
In addition, costume rental, prop rental, venue rental, accommodation, food, travel expenses when moving, etc., all aspects need to spend money, and spend a lot of money.
Therefore, for the MC company's first movie, Kim Woo-beom and Hong Seung-sung calculated it, and the final answer was about 3 billion won.
This is still excluding the big boss of Kim Yufan, if you want Jin Yufan to join, with Jin Yufan's current value, director and actor, plus screenwriter in one, 3 billion won is estimated to be not enough to pay for Kim Yufan's hard work.
Even so, in terms of Jin Yufan's own worth, he is indeed a little sorry for Jin Yufan, which makes Jin Yufan suffer.
You must know that when Kim Yu-beom filmed "Twilight" in Hollywood, his salary reached 2 million US dollars, almost more than 2 billion won. Now with the global success of the movie, the second sequel, Kim Yufan's salary has reached 7 million US dollars, which is more than 7 billion won when converted into Korean won.
In this way, three billion can finalize Jin Yufan, and Jin Yufan can also shoulder the responsibilities of director and screenwriter, which is indeed made by the film producer, and it is still a lot of money.
However, this situation can only be done in Hollywood in the United States, in South Korea, no film production company will spend such a big price to invite Jin Yufan to join, and even be scolded for being stingy, after all, the money given is not worthy of Jin Yufan's worth, which makes Jin Yufan suffer a big loss.
This is also why, after Kim Yu-fan relied on the first part of "Twilight" and reached a terrifying income of nearly $500 million at the global box office, Kim Yu-fan was named a god in the Korean entertainment industry, and was also recognized by the Korean film and television industry, and was given a very special and transcendent status by respect, but after such a long time, there was no script to find Kim Yu-fan.
Could it be that the film production companies and directors look down on Kim Yu-beom's influence and popularity, and look down on Kim Yu-beom's acting skills. Of course not, it's just because Jin Yufan's status is too high and his worth is too high, so he can't afford it.
In the Korean film and television industry. Especially in the film industry, it will never cost billions of won for an actor, even if this price is worth the money for the actors who are invited. Even the film production company has made a lot of money, but it will definitely not spend billions of won to invite Kim Yufan.
Therefore, when Kim Yu-beom was a global hit in "Twilight" and the scenery was infinite, countless scripts came to the door, almost all of them were Hollywood movie scripts, but there was no invitation to a Korean movie script.
I knew that it was very difficult to make a film, but I really started to do it. Jin Yufan didn't expect it to be so difficult, it was simply beyond his expectations.
Now, Kim Woo-beom finally understands why Hong Seung-sung's expression is so depressed and embarrassed when he makes up his mind to make a movie. Thinking of this, Jin Yufan was also a little embarrassed and touched his nose.
"Luckily, I just have to hide at home and write the script. As for the crew, it is up to Brother Shengcheng to worry about it. I'm sorry, but this time it was really impulsive. β
In the studio of Fanli Yuan's home, Jin Yufan was talking to himself with some embarrassment, and even Jin Yufan can imagine now that Hong Shengcheng must have an ugly face at this time, and he was busy and anxious.
Think of these. Jin Yufan made up his mind that he would kill himself if the crew was not ready, and he would not go to the company during this time period and not meet with Hong Shengcheng.
With Jin Yufan's understanding of Hong Shengcheng. If they meet at this time, it is estimated that Hong Shengcheng will definitely break out, pull himself to complain, talk about his embarrassment, and even simply leave the matter to himself and run away.
After sighing, Jin Yufan blessed Jin Yufan for a few words, and began to take his mind back and began to think about it, thinking about the first movie of MC Company, which movie to shoot, or to shoot a movie with a general theme.
South Korea's local cinema is very developed, and although it has suffered from the danger of nearing complete collapse in the past, with the Korean government's vigorous protection of local films, Korean cinema has also begun to recover rapidly.
Coupled with the efforts of a series of outstanding Korean filmmakers, the current Korean film market is getting better and better, and local films are becoming more and more competitive and strong.
Korean films, especially local films, have a strong competitiveness. In other countries, after almost all of them have been swept by American Hollywood blockbusters, especially sci-fi blockbusters, in South Korea, there are still many excellent Korean local films fighting for the dignity of Korean films, and they can be comparable to Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters.
Compared with many countries, which are basically the world of Hollywood sci-fi blockbusters, South Korea is different, in South Korea, there is no obvious outstanding theme, unlike American sci-fi films, Chinese kung fu martial arts films.
In South Korea, movies of any genre, as long as the script is really excellent, the production is excellent, and the actors are superb in acting, they can produce a classic movie, and they can be sought after and supported by Korean movie fans.
If "Taiji Flag Flying" is an epic war film of Korean local films, then how can the movie "The King's Man" be counted, a somewhat weird movie, can break the record in the box office history of Korean films.
A movie about a lawyer "The Defender", Nima's moviegoers can also swish to break through the 10 million mark. A group of funny, mentally ill family stories "The Gift of Room 7" can break through the 12 million mark at the box office.
Considering that South Korea has a population of 50 million, a movie can break through the 10 million moviegoers, Nima, I have to sigh against the sky.
Think about a "Ming Liang" that created hundreds of billions of won at the box office, equivalent to 90 million US dollars, 550 million yuan at the box office, how incredible it is.
Nima, think about South Korea's population of only 50 million, 50 million people, can support the box office performance of a movie to 90 million US dollars, 550 million yuan Cheng dΓΉ, can not make people shocked, can not make people sigh at the development of Korean films.
In terms of South Korea's population base, if it is replaced by China, it will increase by at least 30 times, which means that if Chinese films can be like Korean films, then a film that is the first in the history of "Ming Liang" can reach 16.5 billion yuan at the box office in China, equivalent to 2.6 billion US dollars in box office revenue.
Nima, now look at it like this, compare it. You know that the Korean TV market is developed. In terms of population, South Korea's top-grossing movie, if it is China, will have a box office of 16.5 billion yuan.
Let's take a look at the box office rankings of Chinese films, China's real own films, box office. It is an indisputable fact that the top of the list is only a little more than one billion yuan, which is 16 times weaker than that of South Korea.
Of course, the box office and market of Chinese and South Korean films cannot be calculated in this way, and the different national conditions of different countries have a great impact on the film market and the box office of the film.
But at least one thing is certain, and that is that the Korean film market is very good, all over Asia. In terms of the country's situation, the Korean film market is second only to Japan and the second in Asia in terms of auctions.
What's more, Koreans have never been very partial to movies with a certain theme, as long as the movie is good, then it will be supported by fans. Therefore, it doesn't matter what subject matter you shoot when you shoot a movie in Korea. Don't worry that the subject matter is not good, it is relatively niche and has no market. The most important thing is to look at the script, the acting skills of the actors, and the strength of the director.
Jin Yufan, who couldn't think of what theme to choose for a while, had no choice but to turn on the computer and start watching the news aimlessly on the Internet, nothing to do to look at the Anti attack on the artist. You must know that Jin Yufan is also very gossip in private, and he can be regarded as half a gloating person.
"Jin Yun'er!" Ten minutes later, when Jin Yufan undoubtedly saw the news about Jin Yun'er, he couldn't help pouting: "Honestly, Sun Yanzai, who showed her love to Guy Ning a few years later, is still good-looking." As for Kim Yuna, I really don't think so, maybe she is very strong in figure skating and has outstanding results, but that's all. Nima, who has achieved some good results now, is actually called a goddess by the Korean people, which is too exaggerated. β
Muttering to him, Kim Yu-beom's eyes suddenly widened, looking at Kim Yuna, who won the medal on the computer and waved hello to the audience: "How can you make me Xiaoli Nuna's love, what do you let Park Gyu-ri do with this child, what do you let Choi Ji-na and Park Hyo-min do." Compared with appearance, your sincerity is not good, but it is not good. β
After speaking, Jin Yufan laughed very happily, as if he really told Jin Yun'er what he said, and after Jin Yun'er heard it, she could only lower her head and admit that she didn't dare to say anything, which made Jin Yufan very proud.
"Cut~~~ Figure skating, you can't ski. After complaining, Jin Yufan turned off Kim Yuna's news.
"Figure skating, skiing?" Suddenly, Jin Yufan was stunned, thinking of skiing, Jin Yufan suddenly thought of a movie, a movie that is very good both in terms of word-of-mouth and box office.
After a few seconds, Jin Yufan's eyes lit up, and then he shouted with a burst of laughter: "National Representative!"
"That's right, it's "National Representative", why did I forget about this movie. Fortunately, thanks to Kim Yuna, although you are ugly, you are still very powerful, hahahaha!"
From Kim Yuna's figure skating to skiing, from skiing, Kim Yu-beom suddenly thought of a Korean movie, that is, "National Representative".
"National Representative" is definitely a very good Korean local movie, mainly about the flying skiing event facing the Winter Olympics, South Korea temporarily formed a team, actively trained, and participated in the competition, although it was eliminated, or even the bottom, but at least it also gave South Korea its first flying skiing team.
What's more, this is also a true story, and after the Korean female baseball players, as well as weightlifting and ski jumping events were put on the big screen by real people, "National Representative" also tells the story of the real Korean first flying ski team.
Compared with other sports movies with real events, the movie "National Representative" is undoubtedly a classic movie among Korean local films, especially sports movies.
Because, after the movie "National Representative" was released in South Korea, it immediately received very high praise and word of mouth, and its popularity began to soar, and the number of moviegoers began to soar.
Finally, the film "National Representative" received a total of 8.48 million viewers when released, making it the highest-grossing sports film in Korean film history.
Similarly, the Beijing Olympics in 08 has just ended, the Vancouver Winter Olympics will be in 10 years, and now it is 09, and if "National Representative" is released in 09, this time period is too good.
Released in '09, "Representatives of the Nation" was a farewell to the 2008 Beijing Olympics and a hope for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.
The theme of "National Representatives" is the flying ski team, which is a competition event belonging to the Winter Olympics. Released now, it can be regarded as a tribute to next year's Vancouver Winter Olympics.
In terms of the small one, the time is very suitable, and the front and back are related to sports, sandwiched in the middle. In the big picture, it is to hope that the Korean team, especially the Korean flying and skiing team, can do well at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics.
I believe that when the time comes, under the slogan of cheering for the 2010 Vancouver Winter Olympics and the national representatives of the Republic of Korea, and looking forward to better results, this will definitely make the Korean people with ultra-nationalist mentality frantically pour into the cinema and contribute to the moviegoers of the movie "National Representative".
Thinking of this, Jin Yufan couldn't help but laugh gloomily: "Hehe, "National Representative", not bad, it's this movie." Nima, I just want to see that our MC makes a movie with such a theme, and those theaters and major film production companies, including some people in the Ministry of Culture, dare to ban movies with such a theme.
