Chapter 524: Ready

Soon, the script of "Sunny" was revised by Jin Yufan. With the script in hand, Jin Yufan found Hong Shengcheng for the first time and simply let Hong Shengcheng pass it.

Looking at the market that was looking at the script with a focused face, Jin Yufan snickered in his heart, Hong Shengcheng, this brother wants to talk about playing music and managing the company, it is definitely a talent, I don't say it, but if you want to talk about movie and TV series scripts and the like, this brother is definitely a novice.

To put it bluntly, that is, this brother doesn't understand these at all, from a simple literal point, Hong Shengcheng will not know the difficulty of such a shooting, he will not know the difficulty of the demand of the shooting venue, and he will not know how much money he needs after watching it.

An excellent professional, with a professional eye, can know for the first time after seeing the script of a movie, the difficulty of filming the movie, and the strict requirements of the venue.

Even the estimation of the filming time of the movie can be concluded, and as for the funding, it is also possible to remove the undetermined actors' salaries, and the other funds needed can be preliminarily calculated.

Of course, these are secondary, and more importantly, after reading the script, professionals will be able to know what the quality of the script is, whether it is worth filming, and whether it can have a good box office.

Like Hong Shengcheng, on the surface, he looks very serious and carefully at the script, as if he is checking the quality of the script, but to put it bluntly, he is pretending.

It's not the first day I met, Hong Shengcheng has no talent in this area, and Jin Yufan still knows this about movie scripts at every turn.

Half a sound, I read the script briefly and preliminarily, the most important thing is that I really don't understand it, and I look at it all like this, and of course the speed is very fast. Putting down the script, Hong Shengcheng asked, "Yu Fan." You really decided, this makes this movie. ”

"Well, yes, just make this movie. Jin Yufan nodded and said very resolutely.

As far as the current situation of MC company is concerned, it is not given to other brokerage companies. In the absence of actors, the film "Sunny" is, in any way, the most suitable and the only suitable film for the MC company.

First of all, the investment in "Sunny" is not very high, and this time it is still the MC company insiders to play all the roles, and even the salary can save a lot. The investment is even less.

You know, what kind of generous contracts MC companies give to their artists, not to mention that they are all MC companies' own artists, so whether it is Fin.K.L or Kara, or missA members, the salary almost does not cost any money.

According to the words of the eldest sister Lee Hyo-ri, that is, she can film with the good sisters of Fin.K.L, and she can work with the juniors of the company. And the employees shoot together, and that's enough. I'm already satisfied.

As for the money or something, it doesn't matter, you just look at it casually, anyway, we are singers, not actors, and we don't live on the salary of making movies. It's not about relying on the salary of this movie, and then looking at the box office to set the salary of the next movie, it doesn't matter how much money you give.

MC's contract to its artists is the only one in Korea that is very free, and the artist's income is also very high, almost all of them are 8:2 profit income distribution. After five years, the renewal can achieve a 6:4 distribution of benefits.

Just like the current Fin.K.L portfolio, the contract in MC is a 6:4 distribution of benefits. Of course, this is only the income of the Fin.K.L group in the music industry, as for the income of the members solo, as well as the income of Li Zhen and Cheng Youli during filming, it is not counted, and there is another contract.

Such an excellent contract is definitely a super contract in the Korean music industry, whether it is Fin.K.L or Kara, or missA who has just debuted, they all know this.

Therefore, when Kim Woo-beom mentioned the salary to everyone, everyone was not interested in it, and even said that it didn't matter if they didn't give money, but they were very interested in participating in a movie that was completely attended by everyone in the MC company.

Of course, Fin.K.L, Kara, and missA said that they were not interested in the salary, and Kim Yu-beom would not really be so stingy as not to give money, but compared to Zheng'er Bajing signing a performance contract, he didn't need to give so much.

As for the trainees participating in the filming, the salary must be paid, and it must be the first time for the children to participate in the film shooting, which is a good experience and something to be excited about by the children.

In this case, the MC company naturally does not have to be stingy with some money, and it is certain to give the children a certain amount of hard work. Anyway, I can't give much, and the children are very satisfied, and they won't ask for anything.

As for the rest of the company's employees, almost all of them play soy sauce and make unconditional cameos, and it's not appropriate to give money, after all, it's not very hard, just showing their faces, doing the company a favor, and participating in movies that are very meaningful to the MC company. But it's not good not to give, and in the end, Kim Yufan and Hong Shengcheng decided to prepare a grand dinner directly after the filming of the movie, which can be regarded as a thank you to everyone.

In terms of actors' salaries, they hardly have to worry about the budget, or even use any money. And the filming of the movie itself is indeed not very demanding.

The first is the actors, the requirements for actors are not very high, at most there are four teenagers and adults in the "Sunny" small group, and now it should be said that there are five people, adding up to the acting skills of nine people, relatively speaking, but in fact, it is not too high, there is no need for any eye-catching acting skills, and there are no acting requirements such as crazy, subversive, and enchanted, and the movie does not have high acting requirements for actors. (The role of Zheng Xiuzhi as an adult is not counted in it, so it is nine)

At the same time, the filming of the movie, the requirements for the venue are also very simple, to put it simply, the shooting of the whole movie is a hospital, a school, a classroom, a few streets and alleys, then a few houses, and the final mourning hall is OK.

Unlike other movies, you need to climb mountains and wade to find a suitable shooting location, and even have to fly around abroad on a plane to find attractions to shoot, the movie "Sunny", the requirements for the venue are very simple, it can be said that almost in terms of venue, it does not cost anything.

At the same time, there are no big war scenes in "Sunny". Except for the only large-scale parade, the showdown between "Sunny" and "Girls' Generation", there were basically not many people.

There are no computer stunts, and even the story content of the shooting is very simple and bland, even if the shooting is finished. It's all hassle-free in terms of cutting. In this way, the movie "Sunny" does not need to spend too much on the actor's remuneration, nor does it have too high requirements for the venue, nor does it require high acting skills for the actors, because of the storyline, the shooting can also be completed quickly.

What's even more rare is that the movie "Sunny" is enough to ensure the box office of the movie, which could have reached more than 7 million viewers. But now with the addition of Kim Yu-beom, the first work that has become famous all over the world with "Twilight" and returned to South Korea is sure to attract a lot of attention.

Not to mention the participation of Fin.K.L and Kara, missA, compared to the actors in the original version, it is undoubtedly much higher in terms of popularity and influence, so as a result. It is also a guarantee and excitement for the box office of the movie.

Jin Yufan is very confident, as long as the actors don't act too badly. "Sunny", a movie with more than 7 million viewers, is in the hands of MC Company, in the hands of Jin Yufan, the number of viewers is at least 8 million, and the 8 million viewers are still Jin Yufan's guaranteed estimate.

Such a movie, for the current MC company. It is indeed the most suitable movie, only the only one, not one of them.

"Well, okay then, let's make this movie. I saw Jin Yufan's firmness. Hong Shengcheng is not a person who drags mud and water, and quickly adjusted his mentality, nodded fiercely and said, "OK, then Yu Fan, you can order it now." ”

Now that the script is ready, Hong Shengcheng has also adjusted his mentality, and he is waiting for Jin Yufan, the president, the screenwriter and director to give the order.

After all, the script is written and the actors are connected, which does not mean that it is ready, and there is still a lot of preparation to be done.

Jin Yufan was not polite, and said directly: "Brother, I don't have time because I need to explain the roles to the actors, as well as the requirements for acting skills, so I will get rid of you as soon as I can." ”

Hong Shengcheng waved his hand and signaled Jin Yufan not to be so polite: "No problem, I know, don't worry, I will help you prepare it for the crew, at most a month, I guarantee that the crew is ready, whether it is the staff or the equipment for filming, I will get it done." ”

Nodding, Jin Yufan thought for a while and began to speak: "Brother, what you need to do now is to contact a school, in this movie, the scenes of the main characters are all filmed in the school, so we need a school." ”

"Well, this is no problem, now that the winter vacation is over, it is not very difficult to apply for filming on campus. Hong Seung-sung nodded, and said while jotting down Kim Yu-beom's request.

"Brother, because the story is filmed in the 80s, it is best to make the school older, older, it can't be said that people can see at a glance what age this school is, but it can't be seen at a glance that this school is modern, a school that has just been built. ”

The style of some schools, as well as some of the building materials, reveal a clear time and background of construction, which must be noted.

"Also, my brother customized the school uniforms for students in the 80s, and calculated the number of employees in the company, and then counted how many people there were, and how many clothes from the 80s were customized. As for school uniforms, there are as many trainees as there are in the company. ”

"At the same time, look for more remote places in Seoul, because only the more remote places, some streets and houses, can reflect the style of the 80s, preferably the style of the 80s, and it will be better. And look for a street, to be narrow, preferably with a light, the kind of dusk light of the eighties and nineties. ”

"This should be in a relatively remote place, and there should be no such place in the city at the moment. But it doesn't matter, I know that there are still a few places in the Seoul area that are relatively remote and have not yet been developed in a large area, and there should be the places you mentioned. ”

"Well, the most important thing at the moment is these few, and at the same time, brother, you help me go to Gwangju to find a main road in the 80s, preferably both sides of the road are surrounded by buildings from Gwangju in the 80s, and there is a camera that needs to be filmed in such a location. ”

This scene is nothing more than the scene of the decisive battle between "Sunny" and "Girls' Generation", when many people marched and clashed with the military and police.

In fact. The background of the strength of this shot is because of the many allergies mainly college students, after the assassination of the president, the whole of South Korea was taken by the military and dictatorship began. This also made many citizens dissatisfied, and finally began a large-scale protest with university students as the main force. There was a clash with General Kim Doo-hwan on the side of sending military police.

In fact, this incident happened in Gwangju, and it is also known as the May 18 Gwangju Incident, which was an incident in which the people spontaneously demanded democracy, and General Kim Doo-hwan, who held military power at the time, ordered the suppression of this movement, resulting in a large number of civilian and student casualties.

However, this incident also sounded the death knell of the military dictatorship in South Korea and accelerated the arrival of democracy, for South Korea. It has a very heavy dà and a special meaning.

The original version of the movie "Sunny" moved the location of this incident from Gwangju to Seoul, which ~~~ should have been called Seoul at that time.

Of course, Kim Yu-beom also felt that this matter could be restored under certain circumstances, so he specially asked Hong Seung-sung to find such a street in Gwangju in order to restore the Gwangju incident at that time.

However, this is only a shot, and Kim Yu-beom even plans to stay at the end to shoot. After all, the footage of this scene is mainly told in the context of that big era. "Sunny" vs. "Girls' Generation" showdown.

However, in the movie, Jin Yufan will not deliberately do this, just make a movie, why bother to get involved with the government, there is no need for that.

However, in Kim Yufan's mind, although this shot will be shot in Gwangju. vaguely describes the original Gwangju incident, but in the movie, Kim Woo-bem will not mention the word Gwangju, and will only make everyone think that it happened in Seoul.

Of course. Some of the elderly, perhaps older, Gwangju people, believe that when they see this scene and look at the familiar streets, they will know where this scene was filmed and what the background refers to.

Therefore, Kim Woo-beom specifically asked Hong Seung-sung to find a suitable place in Gwangju in order to shoot this shot, not only to fit the era at that time, but more importantly, if there is an iconic, more eye-catching building, it would be better.

At least, in this way, it can also let many elderly people in Gwangju know where this shot was filmed and what is in the background, and it is estimated that they will not be able to help but burst into tears.

After all, the Gwangju incident was a very important event for many elderly people in Gwangju, a very sad and tragic event, a very sensitive event, and an unforgettable event. (Why miserable, no way, suppressed by the army, the march failed, more than two hundred died, more than five thousand were injured, and more than four hundred were missing.) )

That's why this scene is so important, in Kim Yufan's opinion, this incident has a lot of significance for South Korea, and it is also the biggest scene in the movie "Sunny".

Jin Yufan is a man in the end, since he is a man, he is a hot-blooded thing, and under normal circumstances, he still likes big scenes more.

"Gwangju, the streets of the 80s, it is better to have iconic buildings, right? Hong Seung-sung recorded Kim Yu-beom's request and asked.

Jin Yufan nodded and said, "Well, that's what my brother is doing at the moment, as for some other things and small things, we can prepare them then." ”

"Well, in that case, then I'll get busy preparing and looking for those places for you. You do the same, tell the children about their respective movie roles. Well~~~ And Xiaoli's side, you have to spend a little more time, otherwise, we will all be troublesome and ugly at that time. ”

Lee Hyori's difficulty in acting is already well-known in South Korea, thinking of Kim Woo-beom's words just now, Lee Hyori not only has to participate in the filming of this movie, but also has to play a very important role, Hong Seung-sung also feels that this is a test for Kim Woo-beom, a director, and a test for the MC company.

Well, Lee Hyori can rise to the consideration of the company when he films, which is enough to prove that Lee Hyori is really difficult to do.

"Uh~~~ I'll do my best. Thinking of Li Xiaoli, Jin Yufan couldn't help but smile bitterly, he really didn't have any confidence about this matter.

"Do your best. Hong Shengcheng also sighed, and then seemed to think of something, and couldn't help laughing.

In the days that followed, MC was running at full speed for the movie "Sunny". Almost everyone in the MC company is working hard and running for "Sunny" at this time.

If you don't know, when you see this situation, you will really think that MC is a film production company, not a music agency.

Hong Shengcheng is also a very arrogant person, especially a person like Hong Shengcheng who is gentle and gentle on the surface, once he is arrogant, he is definitely the most arrogant person.

Just like a good-tempered person, once he starts a temper, he is definitely the most afraid of people. Hong Shengcheng is now in this state, the major film production companies and film management companies do not help or even boycott, the music management companies refuse, and the TV station takes advantage of the fire to rob, which deeply stabs Hong Shengcheng's heart and makes Hong Shengcheng's arrogance rarely explode.

In less than ten days, Hong Seung-sung prepared the 80s costumes for the filming of the movie "Sunny", and contacted the school, and even found several streets in Gwangju in the 80s as requested by Kim Woo-bem, and took pictures from various angles for Kim Woo-beom to choose.

This speed and effect completely made Jin Yufan dumbfounded, originally planned to prepare for a month to get this, after all, clothing or something is a trivial matter, as long as it is customized, but the venue is really difficult to choose, and the school is not so easy to contact.

Unexpectedly, Hong Shengcheng only took ten days to prepare this qiē, Jin Yufan has not even explained the roles and plays played by several main characters, and now everyone is still in the stage of familiarity with the roles they play, Hong Shengcheng is ready, which is too fast.

With a wry smile, Jin Yufan could only let Hong Seung-sung wait patiently, waiting for the artists and trainees under the MC company to be familiar with the roles he played before filming could officially start. (To be continued......)
