In the show, Jiang Hudong felt that Li Xiaole's child was too interesting, so he laughed again and again, and threw the topic to Ha Ji Yuan:

"Miss Ha Ji Won, can you tell us about what Director Lee is like at school? Is it the same as now, are there any girls who like him? ”

"It should ...... Didn't you? Ha Ji Yuan thought about Li Xiaole's previous appearance in Danguo, and he laughed unconsciously:

"When he first came to school, he didn't know anything, not even Korean, and he had to compete with the boss to buy a fried rice cake, and he would nest in the dormitory every day and eat books."

"Wow~ No wonder it is said that Chinese students work hard, and success really depends on the accumulation of little by little, let us applaud Director Li." With the applause of the audience and the guests, the color subtitles of the special effects under the screen typed out a line: "Success is no accident, and the younger generation of Korean filmmakers should also emulate Director Lee's serious attitude." ”

In the cafeteria, everyone saw this and remembered the impression Li Xiaole left on them before, cowardly, timid, anyone could bully him, and he didn't dare to say anything, but now Li Xiaole seems to have just turned around, and he has already left them far behind, and he can't even touch the corners of his clothes.

"your hands." "You guys are blind, Li Xiaole is obviously a Chinese who relies on plagiarism, what kind of coaxing do you follow?" "Wait, climb high and fall badly."

Still wearing a strap, his face was gloomy As soon as Liu Zhitai went to the cafeteria, he finally couldn't help but curse loudly, and took the remote control to the sports station, he didn't understand, how could this kid be able to deceive so many people, and he could get his brother Kim Jae-wook out of school? Isn't it just relying on the Shadow Club, and the support of those old fools at school!?

Everyone looked at this classmate who was only wearing a vest and showing his muscles with disdain, daring to be angry but not daring to speak, but at the same time feeling funny in their hearts, it seems that the rumor that Li Xiaole beat Liu Zhitai is true? Originally, those who didn't like Li Xiaole very much, but now they have a better impression of him.

In the sixth week of the screening of "Color is Empty", it got 58.74 million viewers, and after winning the championship for 5 consecutive weeks, it finally fell to the third place in the box office list of Korean Film Week, and the box office champion of "Color is Empty" was directed by Guo Jae-young's "My Sassy Girlfriend", which just reached an astonishing 1.7344 million viewers in the first week of release, of course, this is also achieved by Seagate Cinemas with 712 screens in the first week, and "Shrek" is full of momentum and has 677000 viewers.

In the next seventh week, under the attack of many new films, the number of moviegoers dropped sharply to 13. 560,000, which also means that the potential of "Color is Empty" is about to be exhausted.

All major theaters have replaced the screens that originally played "Color is Empty" with "My Sassy Girlfriend", and by the time "Color is Empty" is painted nationwide in South Korea, it should no longer exceed 300,000 moviegoers. But this is no harm, this aura of miracles created by this small cost.

You must know that in the history of Korean films, the top five box office movies, in addition to the current second-ranked "Color is Empty", whether it is 1999's "Life and Death", 2000's "Joint Security Area JSA", or the popular "Friends" at the beginning of the year, without exception, are super productions with a production and publicity cost of more than 10 billion won.

And this youth comedy, which cost 100 million won and only spent 1.5 billion yuan in publicity, has won more than 4.2 million viewers, accumulating a box office of 16.8 billion in South Korea. (According to the exchange rate at that time, that is, about 100 million yuan)

However, behind the miracle, there is a slight fly in the ointment that the Film Club, as a distribution agency, has hit walls everywhere because of the scale when contacting overseas distribution.

At the same time, the rush version of "Color is Empty" has flooded the campus network in Southeast Asian countries such as Chinese mainland, Hong Kong, Thailand, and even Malaysia, and there are more than 10 different subtitle versions in these pirated versions.

Under the conservative system of Asian countries, many college students still watch him as a film, and the theme of "Lust is Empty" has a special scale, and it is difficult to be introduced to other countries when the audience is not large, which is also something that makes Jin Nan sigh.

However, even in this case, market analysts in film companies such as Seagate, Rakuten, and Showbox were completely shocked by the recent profits of the government agency that only owed money and never made a profit.

Although the number of viewers of "Friends" reached a record 8 million, the actual revenue is calculated? After deducting the filming and publicity costs, a total of 13.6 billion will be deducted, and the starring Zhang Dongjian and the director will be deducted by 2% each. 5 box office share, the profit is not as good as "Color is Empty" released by the Film Club, in other words, "Color is Empty" is the most profitable movie in South Korea!

The result was incredible. In this regard, at this time, a film critic threw out a conspiracy theory to the media:

"This year's Korean film market is hot, and it is likely that the film industry will work with KVAC to create an illusion, and the Korean film box office champion last year held a record of only 2.5 million viewers, how can it be possible to triple "Friends"!? South Korea has a population of only 50 million, and more than one-tenth went to see the same movie, which is absolutely impossible, and what is even more funny is another shoddy work "Color is Empty", with 4.2 million viewers? It sounds more like a joke. ”

As a government department, the film association seems to have suddenly become the target of public criticism, because the KVCA, which has been formed by representatives of the major film companies, has always controlled the Korean film market, and the film association, which was only responsible for amending the film law to fund independent films, bypassed them and suddenly became the other party of Korean film production, which caught them off guard.

It's all because of this film called "Color is Empty", one of the most well-known film market analysts in KVCA, carefully studied the smoothness of "Color is Empty" from filming to release, and came to a consistent conclusion, this commercial miracle film; The publicity from beginning to end is planned by a master behind the scenes, and the so-called "sexy marketing" makes these market analysts admire, they all believe that this so-called student movie is just a cover for the new Shili of Korean films, and the student named Li Xiaole is just a puppet, and the real dominant figure is the producer Kim Nam, and the mysterious American screenwriter H they spent a lot of money to invite.

The Korean Film Bureau has taken over the complaint of plagiarism of the script, and usually when there is a conflict between the three parties that balance the film market, the Entertainers Association, the KVCA, and the Film Association, the Korean Film Bureau must come forward to mediate.

In a letter of complaint submitted to the Film Bureau, the KVCA wrote: ""Lust is Empty is not a student-supported film at all, and the insiders of the Film Association who lead the film have taken advantage of the loopholes in the film law to bypass all aspects of the KVCA, and even plagiarized the ideas of the head master company, which is an act ......that seriously disrupts the Korean film market."

Although KVCA's complaint letter obviously carries the blind sight of those film companies excluding dissent, in fact, Li Xiaole did take advantage of the loopholes in the industry's rules, which is actually nothing, it is not that he did not look for KVCA's investment, but those companies don't like their scripts.

In addition, Li Xiaole is a foreigner, and it is normal for Korean filmmakers to reject him, in fact, after the movie is released in theaters, according to the convention, KVCA should let him join the membership and become a member of the investment association......

On the other hand, by the end of the seventh week of the screening, many movie theaters have finished the screening of "Color is Empty", and the film club has also begun to get pre-tax rents from various theaters.

So far, the number of viewers of "Color is Empty" is 421. 560,000, the approximate ratio of student tickets to adult tickets is 5:5, and the box office totaling 16.8 billion won is about to start splitting.

As a film in South Korea, the revenue mainly comes from two aspects, the box office and DVD rental, which are almost the same in most cases, which is roughly the same in most cases, that is, "Color is Empty" has generated about 16.8 billion *2 revenue.

After getting the box office has been implemented in the film club, Li Rongbi, as an investor, contacted Li Xiaole and Ha Jiyuan as soon as possible and asked them to go to his office to discuss the return of the money.

A few people sat on the sofa and saw Lei Ting and Jiang Cangdong, one using a computer and the other using an abacus, calculating the income separately, Li Rongpyo and Ha Zhiyuan actually didn't have an approximate figure in their hearts about how much money this movie made, and the box office increase was too big.

"Cripple, don't be in a hurry to reconcile the accounts first, Miss He doesn't know how to calculate the benefits, you tell her." Li Rongbi coughed dryly, and asked Jiang Cangdong to explain how to divide the money this time in the name of Ha Ji Yuan.

"Boss haode~" Jiang Cangdong put down his abacus, rubbed his temples, and recovered his spirit before he began to explain to the people on the sofa.

"According to the agreement of "Color is Empty", as the distributor, Yingxing will take all the proceeds from the rental and sale of DVDs......"

"Wait!?" Li Rongbi raised his eyebrows when he heard this, and asked with a gloomy face: "Weishenme Yingxing will be able to swallow the DVD money alone?" ”

"Boss, because this is a student-funded movie, the film club has no intention of making a profit, they (the fastest update) The cost of releasing a film is much higher than that of our investors, and taking away the DVD revenue is actually just a good reason, and there is no actual income in this area in the past (remember daomengren to watch the fastest update in a second)...... And we don't have a regular channel to rent DVDs, so it's hard to say how much money you can make when you get it. ”

"! Count them lucky! Li Rongbi felt a twitch in his heart, and scolded indignantly: "Cripple, you continue." Ha Ji Won didn't even dare to come out of the atmosphere when he saw him like this.

"Well...... Our actual interests now are only the box office, not to mention the overseas box office, let's look at the 16.8 billion profit first......" Jiang Cangdong said while finding that Li Rongbi was staring at him with a vicious greedy gaze, and unconsciously lowered his head:

"According to the contract, we are the cinema chain that signed the contract to take 60% of it, and our producer and investor share the remaining 40% of the profit, that is, 6.88 billion, which is tax-free according to the new film law......
