1064 Plan ahead
Although Lee Jun Han has conflicting but generally good memories of this JHL family concert, his spirit is not completely focused on the concert. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 info
He is now more concerned about the box office of the movie that officially began to be released in North America the day before.
The problem is really not small.
You can see it just from the movie reviews.
This movie, in the traditional film critics, received a very poor evaluation.
Whether it's a newspaper or a magazine, it's basically hard to see positive reviews after the film is released.
From the actors' performances, to the director's ability to tell stories, to the special effects used in the film, and even to the presentation of some physics theories that Li Junhan doesn't understand at all.
There is hardly anything that is not scolded.
But on the other hand, on IMBD, which is basically the most authoritative movie rating website for netizens to rate and comment, the score of this movie is unexpectedly high......
However, this doesn't seem to be of much use.
"Interstellar" did not grospass $100 million in its first week in North America......
Therefore, when Li Junhan returned to South Korea from the United States on a plane, his mood was relatively heavy.
It seems a little difficult for this film to make a profit of $500 million at the box office.
It was not only Lee Junhan who was in a heavy mood, but naturally also the rest of JHL.
Although Li Junhan does not have a fixed salary for this movie, it does not mean that they can really treat Li Junhan as an obligation to act in this play.
Although as the largest shareholder of JHL, Li Junhan has a commission on JHL's investment income, but after all, those are two different things.
And the commission remuneration contract signed by Li Junhan and the crew was calculated after the profit and loss point.
At that time, as one of the producers, the boss uncle didn't believe that Li Junhan plus Christopher Nolan would lose money on the movie......
But if he really worked hard for a few months to act in this play, and he didn't earn the last penny, the boss uncle was not sure that he would be embarrassed to open his mouth when he asked Li Junhan to participate in JHL's play in the future......
Even if this investment decision was made by Li Junhan himself.
As a result, Li Junhan, who got off the plane and returned directly to the conference room of JHL company, faced a particularly dull atmosphere.
It's just that this so-called countermeasure will generally not be of much significance. It's just a group of people getting together to cheer each other on.
After all, it's the biggest investment JHL has made since its establishment! If it fails......
"It's really not good, let's stay in China to invest in the future!" Li Junhan made such a summary at the end of the meeting with a little sadness.
This is basically putting the responsibility for the unsuccessful investment on your own shoulders.
"It's a little early to say that." Uncle Boss is obviously another bearer of this responsibility, "After all, the film is still not released outside of North America, and there may be some turnarounds." ”
"I hope so......" Lee Jun Han sighed, "Let's talk about the debut stage of Mamamoo starting next week!" ”
……
"Actually, there's a sentence I haven't said."
"What?"
"If you go to be the leading actor and act in this play, it is destined that the box office of this drama will not be high in North America. It doesn't matter if there are any problems with this play. ”
“…… Why? ”
"Because you're a yellow!"
“……”
After the meeting, Li Junhan was dragged directly to the bar by Yin Xian.
The two of them are now in the corner of the bar lobby, chatting while gently shaking their bodies with the DJ.
"We are all well aware of the United States, non-white people play the leading role...... It can only be a dead male protagonist similar to gravity.。 Yin Xian smiled and said to Li Junhan, "Otherwise, Americans watching a foreigner save the world on the screen are actually rejecting in their hearts." ”
“…… Actually, I also know a reason why the box office of this movie has been so low so far. ”
"What?"
"It's too long." Li Junhan sighed. "Other movies are 90 to 120 minutes long, this movie is 170 minutes...... Nearly half of it grows out. ”
“…… Does this have an impact? ”
"Of course there is!" Obviously, Yin Xian didn't understand the difference between this, so Li Junhan popularized science: "The same movie theater is shown 24 hours a day, other movies can be shown 12 times, and this movie can only be shown 8 times...... Naturally, the box office is a third less. ”
“…… It turns out that there is still such a saying......" Yin Xian nodded, what Li Junhan said did make sense.
"Yes, there are many reasons, all of which can be explained, but the key is ......" Li Junhan smiled bitterly, "I don't really want to accept this explanation." ”
“…… Then when I didn't say it, keep drinking and dancing! Yin Hyun shook his head.
“…… How did you remember to come to the hall today? ”
"Oh, today Taeyeon said she wanted to bring her friends to my bar, so I'll wait for her here and take her up when she arrives."
“…… Then what are you dragging me here for? ”
"Nonsense! She came here to tell you something! Otherwise, I'll be full and call you this light bulb! Yin Xian said with a depressed face. It seems to be a very important thing, and she has told me several times, but when I ask her what it is, she refuses to tell me. ”
"What does she have to say to me......"
"How do I know!" Yoon Hyun was a little berserk.
Li Junhan was silent.
After a while.
"Don't worry, if she could have taken a fancy to me, she wouldn't have had anything to do with you a few years ago." Li Junhan said lightly.
“…… You're enough. "Yoon Hyun is really angry.
In this way, there was silence between the two people, and after a while, a waiter came to Li Junhan and them, whispered something in Yin Xian's ear, and then, Yin Xian waved at Li Junhan, but left first.
Li Junhan smiled a little helplessly and followed.
There were two girls. Li Junhan could recognize who the other one was from a long distance.
"You're in high spirits!" Li Junhan greeted the girl with a smile, "I also said that this kind of thing in a bar doesn't match Taeyeon's aura, but it's completely suitable for you." ”
"I'm here with me today, or she said she was flustered. What do you have to talk about you, I'm here to drink and dance. ”
"Yes."
"By the way, do you want the wine I drank today?"
“…… Why? This is Yoon Hyun's bar, and he will invite him to ......"
"It's not because Taeyeon hasn't really agreed to have a relationship with him yet! It's not appropriate to eat and drink now. ”
"Then it's appropriate for me to invite you?"
"Nonsense, because of you, our squad returned this time and stopped its activities after only playing a round of songs, what do you say!"
"Speaking of which, when you voted for Sika to leave the team, did you vote yes?"
“…… Can't I let you invite me? ”
"It's really ......"
"Don't ask about this kind of thing, I won't say it or not."
"Yo! It's the first time I've known that Tiffany's mouth is so tight! Li Junhan smiled a little.
In fact, although he and Tiffany are still relatively familiar, they are not familiar to this extent, and they joke like this when they meet.
The main thing is that Yoon Hyun is next to him, and Lee Junhan is always bad to say hello to Kim Taeyeon, right?
And to be honest, it's really embarrassing between him and Kim Taeyeon......
"You guys go up and talk first, I'll take Pani to play down there for a while." Just as Lee Jun Han was chatting with Tiffany, Yoon Hyun came over.
His face was full of resentment.
“…… You're really ...... What kind of evil vinegar you eat! "Li Junhan is really happy.
Tiffany, who was next to her, laughed too.
"Go ahead, hurry up and let the waiter come down and call me." Yin Xian's face was blank.
“…… You're really sick. Li Junhan sighed, too lazy to talk to Yin Xian. What's wrong with this guy tonight?
Following the waiter, with Kim Taeyeon, who looked a little flustered behind him, the two of them came to the box where Yoon Hyun usually greeted his friends.
"Tell me something." As soon as he entered the door, Lee Jun-han said to Kim Taeyeon in a very calm voice, "Yoon-hyun, that kid may be drawing a circle and cursing me now." ”
"What happened before Sika...... I'm sorry. Kim Taeyeon saw Lee Junhan's attitude, and seemed to be very expected, nodded and apologized first.
"It's nothing, it's just that the Tao is different. I can understand both. Li Junhan shook his head and did not accept this apology.
The atmosphere was awkward.
"Sika has two years left on his contract with our company."
"Yes."
"Actually, we're ...... so far Sika is also welcome back. ”
"It doesn't make much sense to say that, does it?" Lee Jun-han interrupted Kim Tae-yeon's words.
As we all know, some things are like water that can't be recovered.
"You can all get back together after you break up, our kind of ......"
"The fans have already been chopped together, and it is useless for her to go back now. Besides, she definitely didn't want to go back. Li Junhan said lightly: "After all, he was kicked out...... Her character, you should have known her for a longer time than me, and you should know better. ”
"So she's supposed to be terminating her contract with our company soon, right? Going to JHL? ”
"I don't know." Li Junhan shook his head.
“…… I'm talking to you sincerely. Kim Taeyeon was a little annoyed.
"I'm also answering seriously." Li Junhan spread his hands, "Since you kicked her out, I have only seen her twice, once when I knew about it and hurriedly ended the variety show recording and ran back to Seoul to see her, and then it was the drama I filmed with Xiujing After the finale banquet, I sent Xiujing, who had drunk too much, home, just these two times." What she's doing now, what she's going to do, I have absolutely no idea. ”
“…… You guys broke up? ”
"I didn't agree, she thought." Li Junhan sighed, "However, it's not much different from breaking up." ”
Kim Taeyeon was silent.
"So, if she terminates the contract, do you have anything to say?"
"The company is going to arrange a solo album for me." Kim Taeyeon sighed and shook her head, "I want to ask you for a song." ”
“…… I'm sorry, but I'm not interested in writing songs for you. Li Junhan shook his head.
Really not interested?
It's hard to say. After all, Lee Jun-han actually liked Kim Tae-yeon's singing.
The problem is that if Lee Jun-han agrees to write a song for Kim Tae-yeon's solo, Yoon Hyun will probably be able to tear himself apart......
"I always find it a little strange to write songs written by Yoon Hyun Oppa. For example, the two songs that returned this year, "MRMR" and "Holler", I ...... Not very much. Kim Taeyeon naturally knew why Lee Junhan said that he was not interested, so he could only explain by himself, "I still like songs like "Meet You in the Sea of People" written by oppa. The company said that I could make my own song selection for the solo album this time, so ......"
"But I'm not interested in writing songs for you." Li Junhan shook his head, "And I have to tell you, "MRMR" was actually written by me, but Yin Xian's kid took it to you to ask for credit." ”
"Oppa, you don't have to take the blame for him."
“…… In these years, no one believes it anymore. Li Junhan sighed and said nothing.
"I will discuss the cost of the song with the company, and I will come up with a price above the standard." Kim Taeyeon is still talking to herself.
"I won't write about how much it is." Li Junhan smiled and shook his head, "You just asked me if Xiuyan meant to terminate the contract with S.M...... I guess if she terminates her contract with S.M and comes to JHL, I'll give her a solo album right away, and then S.M will let you play against her, right? ”
"Yes." Kim Taeyeon nodded. "Otherwise, I wouldn't have suddenly remembered that I would be ready to solo at this time."
"So...... You still expect Suyeon to terminate her contract with S.M soon. As soon as she terminates the contract, it is estimated that your solo album production will be on the agenda. Li Junhan said with a smile, "When the time comes, you can ask Yin Xian to make an album for you, he can smear your liver and brains." ”
“…… But the song he wrote ......"
"You tell him what kind of songs you like, and he'll be sure to write them for you." Li Junhan said with a smile, "At this point, you have to have confidence in him." ”
Kim Taeyeon lowered her head and stopped squeaking.
"I'll say something superfluous." Li Junhan sighed, "Hard work is more important than talent, I think, as one of S.M's most successful artists, you should be very clear about this sentence." Right? ”
“…… I understand that Yoon Hyun Oppa will be very serious about making an album for me. Kim Taeyeon nodded, "But I don't want to owe him so much......"
"If you feel like you owe it to him." Lee Jun-han interrupted Kim Taeyeon's words, "You can't pay him back in this life, if you don't feel that you owe him, then it's actually just his wishful thinking." ”
"I know. He was very nice to me and ...... Is a nice guy. The problem is that I just don't know why...... He's a little unreliable and a little annoying......"
"No reason?"
"Yes. I even had a dream before that he was a gay and was looking for me just to get married. ”
“…… Then there is no way. Li Junhan laughed, "He can only ask for more blessings for himself." ”
"The ...... of the Covenant Song"
"I'm sorry." Li Junhan shook his head very resolutely. "Things are already complicated between me and Su-yeon, and I don't want to make it even more messy."
“…… All right. I'll go first. Kim Taeyeon shook her head and sighed.
“…… You're leaving? Don't wait for Yin Xian? And Pani? ”
"It's so noisy, I have a headache." Kim Taeyeon smiled helplessly, "I'm sorry, oppa, for embarrassing you." ”
"Well, I didn't help you much, I'm sorry." Li Junhan also decided not to keep her.
Yin Xian, this kid......
What to do?
After Kim Tae-yeon left, Lee Jun-han called the waiter to call Yoon Hyun.
"Taeyeon is gone?" Yin Xian, who walked into the box, didn't seem surprised at all.
"Well, she thinks it's noisy here." Li Junhan nodded, "What about Pani?" ”
"Knowing that Taeyeon is gone, she is gone. By the way, you didn't promise Taeyeon? ”
“…… Promise what? ”
"Write a song! Otherwise, what else would she have to do with you! ”
"You know you just ate flying vinegar there!"
"Of course I'm jealous, she's still asking you for a song now, doesn't she think what I wrote for her is unsatisfactory!" Yin Xian sighed, "This makes me even more sad!" ”
"By the way, she just told me that she doesn't even like the MRMR you wrote." Li Junhan had a strange smile on his face.
Be quiet.
"Damn, it's a loss." Yin Xian sighed heavily. (To be continued.) )
