Chapter 60: A Good Day

People go to higher places, and water flows to lower places.

The first film was a great success, and Kang Hyung-chul has higher expectations for his second film, which is also human, reasonable and understandable.

The shooting cost of hundreds of millions of won naturally cannot be the reason for Kang Hyung-chul and CJ to collapse. Then think about it with your toes, you know that the difference must be over Jiang Jiongzhe's personal treatment.

"So what is Director Jiang's request?" The situation is more or less understood. Lin Dong decided not to go around in circles anymore and pointed straight to the key issues.

"10% share of all copyrights." Jiang Jiongzhe shouted very loudly, and it was completely a lion's mouth.

Lin Dong did the math. After a few years, the number of moviegoers in Kimchi Country exceeded 200 million, and now in 2010, the number of moviegoers should be 150 million throughout the year, and a total of 2300 new movies will be released every year. Then the average box office is about 600,000 people.

If the box office is 600,000 people, the money allocated by the producer is about 2 billion won, so just according to the average box office share of the movie in the whole year, 10% is already 200 million. If according to Kang Hyung-cheol's own prediction, "Sunshine Sisters" will be divided into 10%, how can it get billions of won, which is far more than the director's remuneration.

Open the day to ask for the price, and return the money on the ground. Lin Dong naturally wouldn't be stupid and nodded in agreement. "Director Jiang's price is a bit too much, and it is already a top director's share. And you've only made one "Speeding Scandal" now. ”

"The shooting cost of 1 billion won, the post-publicity cost will be added depending on the situation, and the individual will share 10% of the full copyright. That's all I have. "Jiang Jiongzhe suffered a big loss in the first movie, and he is about to go crazy with lack of money at this time, so he will not let go of the opportunity to make money again.

Although the difference in income by a few percentage points does not have a big impact on the big gold mine of "Sunshine Sisters", the business is not like that. If Jiang Jiongzhe is easily agreed this time, everyone will take a bite of Lin Dong in the future.

"Director Jiang, the conditions on CJ's side are far from 10%, don't treat me as a Kaizi." Lin Dongcai didn't know what price CJ was back, and he was idle when he was idle, so he casually took a look at Jiang Jiongzhe.

"CJ only gives a 3% cut, but there are directing and script creation fees, and they have better publicity channels. If I choose other small companies, of course, I need better returns to protect it. Jiang Jiongzhe was really deceived by Lin Dong, probably because Lin Dong knew about the previous shooting cost, and at this time he also thought that Lin Dong was clear about the sharing situation.

CJ does have the ability, and if they produce and distribute it, the publicity effect will definitely be bad, and CJ Group itself has a lot of theaters, and if you arrange a few more shows, the box office will be far behind. Lin Dong does not have the slightest advantage in this regard, but all of this is floating clouds, once the magic is used, there will be as many cows as there are cows, and there will be no taxes anyway.

"The kimchi country has a population of only 50 million, can it be compared with China? If CJ comes to publicize, it will only increase the box office by one or two percent at most. I will get "Sunshine Sisters" to be released in China, and the box office will at least double for you. "Lin Dong is pure fool at this time, he has a Mao connection to get the movie to be released in China.

said that the big kimchi country is the first in the universe, but the entertainment industry is proud to go abroad. It is easiest to go to the Japanese market, because the languages are all sticky, and there is not much difference. It is the most glorious to go to the rice country, because the kimchi country is the little brother of the old rice, and it is the most glorious drop to be recognized by the big brother. However, going to China for development is the fastest money, because the market is big; It's just that the mixing of dragons and snakes is too complicated, so it's not easy to find a good way.

"Are you Chinese?" After chatting for a long time, Jiang Jiongzhe didn't think about it at all. After all, Kaiyakeshi is an authentic kimchi country car.

"Smack!" A Chinese ID card slapped on the table, and Lin Dong felt for the first time that the identity of our country was so high.

"Can it really be released in China?"

"That's a must! Let's put it in the contract. Lin Dong didn't finish the second half of the sentence, but he didn't know which year it would be released, and it was common for him to be reviewed for three or five years; No matter how bad the situation is, just go to Hong Kong, Macau, Wanwan or something to charter a movie theater to screen a few shows, and it will also be a Chinese release.

"What kind of treatment?" Jiang Jiongzhe was obviously fooled to the point of being tempted, and if it is guaranteed to be released in China, as long as the quality of the movie is acceptable, the box office will definitely not be bad.

"5% of the full copyright, and you will be paid another 100 million won." Lin Dong carefully observed Director Jiang for a long time, so let's not talk about clothes or anything, after all, personal tastes are different. But the mobile phone is not a new smart phone, then it is absolutely unreasonable, and the mobile phone in Kimchi Country is so cheap that it explodes.

Kang Hyung-chul is about forty years old, which can be regarded as a young director. At this age, his wife and children, providing for cars and buildings, is the time when life is the most stressful, and the ready-made remuneration should be able to impress him.

"300 million won! 5% plus 300 million salaries. In addition to these 300 million, it is necessary to prepare 1 billion production costs and 1 billion publicity expenses. Jiang Jiongzhe said his conditions.

Nima, 1 billion plus 1 billion, that's 2 billion won, which is 10 times more than the cost of 200 million in memory. How far apart are individual investors and CJ Group?

But Lin Dong couldn't find a reason to make trouble, after all, the money was not given to Jiang Jiongzhe himself, but to the crew, and everything was justified. The film and television production here in Kimchi Country is quite perverted, and the money for buying a bottle of mineral water has to be recorded in the accounts in detail, and it is difficult to pit investors' money.

"200 million won for the director's fee, 100 million won for the contract, and another 100 million won after filming. All other conditions are as you wish, but I ask to participate in the casting and reserve the right to select actors. ”

Everything in "Sunshine Sisters" has changed, and Lin Dong really doesn't know what the butterfly effect will be. At the very least, if CJ Group is not involved, the actors will be a big problem. Low-cost production, no famous investors, want actors to join at a low price? Stop dreaming.

Lin Dong was afraid that he would appear and change this movie beyond recognition, and the investment would really be wasted.

"No, I can't. I'm not going to let go of the right to cast. "As a director, Kang Hyung-cheol of course wants to defend his rights.

"We were involved in the casting together. And the young heroine with the heaviest role is up to you. In Lin Dong's view, that role doesn't need to be chosen at all. Leave it to Jiang Jiongzhe to choose people, and there won't be much change.

Among the actors under the age of 20 in Kimchi Country, Shen Enjing has no opponents at all, she was born in 1994 and now has the strength of a movie queen, and she is completely a demon. The heroine of "Sunshine Sisters", as long as Shen Enjing is notified to come for an interview, then the other actors competing for the heroine can wash and sleep, where they come from and where they go back.

The supporting roles are the most variable, can a crew without fame attract enough good actors? It's a tough question to solve. And except for Shen Enjing, Lin Dong can't remember any of the names of other characters. I can only go to the casting site to see what impression Ariki has.

"Deal! Happy to work with. Jiang Jiongzhe smiled brightly, thinking to himself: Today is really a good day, I met a big water fish from China.

"Happy working together!" Lin Dong smiled even brighter, and he also thought in his heart: There are so many kimchi country teases, it's too easy to fool.

Dajian, who had a barbecue meal in a coffee shop, was also very pleasant, although he didn't understand it very well, but he barely understood a few words about making a movie. Brother Dong is in the entertainment industry, can the buddy's purchasing career still be prosperous?

What a good day to dig a pit.

Several people had their own ghosts and said goodbye to each other. They went back to prepare copyright documents, contracts, and stores, and were happily busy.

――

A small town on the outskirts of Greater Seoul, the crew of "My Little Black Dress".

"How blue the sky is, and it just so happens that the wind is so perfect today, pretend not to know, pretend not to hear a word......"

"Good Day" sounded, and the little IU was unreasonable and disorderly. Good Ji You came to the crew to visit the class, and Mu has a reason to talk about.

"Ernie, how's my song?" After the singing, the little cute thing IU lowered her eyebrows and pleasing her eyes, like a punished primary school student, waiting for the teachers' comments.

The local tyrants were in a mess, and the "nouveau riche" went to the slag country villa, and the four "ladies" with different characteristics were paralyzed on the leather sofa very ungracefully. As the starring actor of "My Little Black Dress", he pretended to be a public and private person, and used the luxury villa used in the filming as a short-term dormitory, naturally no one would object to it. Anyway, the big villas in the countryside are not as expensive as the small suites in Cheongdam-dong, Seoul.

"Zhi'en, don't worry about these old girls, they are idle and bored, and they are playing with you. A room full of actors, where do you know how to appreciate music? Liu Renna looked at her good Ji friend with a serious face, and was a little worried about her IQ.

"Yikes! I'm a big senior in the music industry who debuted in 1999. Don't compare me to the other two old women, besides, here is Liu Rena Oni is the oldest! Yoon Eun-hye, the heroine of this movie, retorted at the first time that the last thing a woman can talk about is age.

"Yoon Eun-hye senior, hello! I'm Liu Renna, a newcomer who debuted in 09, please advise! ”

"Yoon Eun-hye senior, I'm Park Han-sung, a semi-newcomer who debuted in 03, please advise Smecta!"

……

The mouth is good, but the slightest sense of respect is wooden, and even uses both hands and legs, pressing the "senior" Yin Enhui, who debuted at the age of 15, on the ground, kneading and tickling vigorously, and the "old girls" are very cruel. The small steamed buns of the "big seniors" who had no scale were pressed into a washboard.

The real little character IU habitually stunned and posed in the shape of a little goldfish, hoping that he could only have a few seconds of memory like a goldfish, and completely forget the scene of subverting the image.

It's also good to live like a goldfish, carefree, and you can forget anything unhappy in the blink of an eye.
