Chapter 292." King of Heaven "Lee Min Ho!
The next day, all the people in South Korea were looking forward to the early release of "Horror Live", in fact, not only in South Korea, but also in other parts of Asia, all places that like FIVE Yin Tianyou are also because of his superhuman popularity, and collectively said that they are very much looking forward to the release of "Horror Live", and they are looking forward to witnessing Yin Tianyou's first work; However, what they don't know is that Yin Tianyou is now happily contacting filmmakers from various regions in Asia.
South Korea is not a big place, with a total population of only 50 million people, so watching movies is generally not counted by box office figures, but by the number of moviegoers. In addition, the foreign market has always occupied a very important position in the box office revenue of Korean films, especially with the rise of Korean films, from excellent horror films to the first place, gradually conquering the cinema lines of Asian countries, to today's Korean blockbusters entering Chinese mainland, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and other places, so the box office in these places is particularly important.
In fact, the development of Korean films is inseparable from the support of the South Korean government, in the 80s and 90s, the whole South Korea was still full of Hong Kong movies, what "The True Colors of Heroes", "Heavenly Love", Xing Ye's "Truant Dragon", and now Korean films are in their own right, especially horror films and action movies are extremely good, and the representative works are the "Ghost Bell" series, the "Pen Fairy" series, as well as "Uncle" and "League of Thieves".
However, with the rise of Thai horror films in recent years, the dominant position of Korean films in the horror field has been challenged and impacted, and now they can only actively explore the market in the field of suspense and action. And the "Horror Live" directed by Yin Tianyou obviously belongs to this popular genre.
Thanks to Yin Tianyou's fame and loud slogans, he came to the film and television department of JYP Entertainment Company today. Looking for Yin Tianyou to discuss the release of "Horror Live" in other cities, there is an endless stream. Groups of people are endless; And what Yin Tianyou has to do is to try to lower the income of the filmmakers, after all. When the market is competitive, then the producer needs to negotiate to maximize the benefits.
No matter who you are, no matter how big the theater chain you control, as long as you come, then, Yin Tianyou will sit down with you very sincerely to communicate, until someone notifies that another guest is coming, he will send you out, and said very embarrassed: "I'm sorry." Sir, the dividends you are asking for are so high that I really can't answer you right now, so please go back and wait first. ”
It is this way of hospitality that Yin Tianyou transferred all the pressure to the filmmakers who came to negotiate cooperation business, and the effect was unimaginably perfect.
The most direct embodiment is that many film companies that were still very tough at the beginning demanded 73 dividends have automatically reduced the number of dividends they demanded, from 7 percent to 6 percent, and then to 5 percent. And this price is already the best price in Yin Tianyou's heart, after all, the theater division is only 64, and now half is good enough.
One day, just one day. Yin Tianyou relied on his popularity as the "King of Asia" and successfully completed the release of the film in other Asian regions, all of which were 5% by distributors. JYP Entertainment Films accounts for 5 percent.
Of course, such contracts are temporary. In the eyes of those filmmakers in other cities, if Yin Tianyou didn't dare to "swear" this time. If the movie is not good to quit the film industry, and it will never be touched again, so they will not let go.
However, for Yin Tianyou, the winner or loser this time is really undecided, and he said his big words, but whether the film is good or not still needs to be tested by the market. In particular, his old rival S-M company Lee so-man has also done enough publicity for his movie "Western Front", and it can be said that in South Korea, the power of this drama is greater than that of Yoon Tianyou.
After all, in addition to popularity, propaganda should also talk about strength, and the strength of S-M should not be underestimated.
In fact, judging from the established number of films in South Korea's domestic theaters, Yoon Tianyou's new film has already lost, and it is lost at the starting line.
"Horror Live" accounted for 18 percent of the filming in theaters in Seoul, while "Western Front" accounted for 36 percent, almost three times that of Yoon Tianwoo's new film.
However, Yin Tianyou is not discouraged, as I said earlier, he doesn't pay much attention to the domestic box office in South Korea, to put it bluntly, the population of 50 million here can't create any big miracles, here he only asks for a good reputation.
In fact, Yin Tianyou's biggest focus is on the Asian market, Chinese mainland.
That's right, it is a large market with a population of more than one billion, and now the number one box office of the world's movie box office, and even the North American market is about to be compared.
For Yin Tianyou, this is the future, and this is the center of future world cinema. What's more, as a Chinese, Yin Tianyou has unique feelings for the mainland, and hopes that he can develop well here.
However, as we all know, the review of foreign films in Chinese mainland is very strict, and everything that is contaminated with erotic and political factors will be harmonized, for which Yin Tianyou has no less headaches, in order to be able to release his new film in Chinese mainland, he even specially made a new edit of this drama in order to cater to local film censorship.
Not to mention, this kind of editing technique that he likes actually passed, which made Yin Tianyou overjoyed.
It seems that he is in good luck.
……
A week later, in the evening.
Kim Da Rae Movie Theater, South Korea.
As the first cinema chain acquired by JYP Entertainment, this movie theater has now become a famous luxury cinema chain in South Korea, and even ranks among the top names in the Seoul area.
At this moment in the cinema, Choi Dong-hoon, who is Yoon Tianyou's old partner, is yelling and arranging the workers to make the final arrangements, striving to be foolproof, hoping to achieve the best on-site effect.
At the same time, Yoon Tianyou stood in the lounge of the movie theater, looking out the window at the brightly lit Seoul, his eyes calm: "Is everything ready?" ”
Hearing the question, the fat man Jin Qitai, who was Yin Tianyou's driver and bodyguard, replied: "Don't worry, everything is fine!" ”
"That's good, this is my first play. I hope it goes well! ”
The fat man smiled, "I think." At this time, those viewers may have been impatient. ”
Yin Tianyou turned around and said.
Oh, yes. They must have been in a hurry to wait.
In fact, since the last press conference, Yin Tianyou has deliberately blocked all news about the content of the story of "Horror Live", packaging a suspenseful and mysterious atmosphere, and now it has whetted everyone's appetite, and this kind of "hunger marketing" looks to be successful.
"It's time to start, it's my premiere, and it's my world." Yin Tianyou said faintly.
……
When evening came, many people were already surrounded at the entrance of the movie theater, and everyone was talking about the new drama "Horror Live" that Magic Shadow was about to release tonight.
And Yin Tianyou very politely sent out an invitation to watch the movie. Let your friends inside and outside the Korean circle come here to cheer. Among them, there are Yoo Jae-seok, Kim Jong-kook, Song Ji-hyo of the Running Men's Gang, as well as Lee Seon-mi, Bae Su-ji, and Ok Ze-yan of the same company, as well as Bae Yong-jun, who is very popular in South Korea, Kim so-hyun, an old rival, and even Lee Min Ho, a popular man in South Korea, was invited over.
Speaking of which. The reason why Lee Min Ho was invited was mainly because Yoon Tianyou had contacted him privately and told the K-pop superstar that if the drama he directed was released, it would be successful. will continue to the next work, and that work will invite Lee Min Ho to play the leading role.
Of course, these alone will not convince Lee Min Ho. After all, the two are still competitive in the industry, but it's okay. Yin Tianyou showed him the newly written script; Three days later, Lee Min Ho immediately contacted Yoon Tianyou. If he can, he'd like to join.
In fact, Lee Min Ho was really moved by the script written by Yoon Tianyou. Although Lee Min Ho's popularity is very popular in South Korea, and he is also red and purple in Asia, he is known as a contemporary Korean super beautiful man, but generally speaking, he became popular by his appearance, and his works in the TV industry are not particularly praiseworthy of his acting skills, except for the "City Hunter".
It can be said that Lee Min Ho's success lies in his good looks and beautiful man, but this is both his advantage and his disadvantage, because he is too good-looking, people will pay too much attention to his appearance when he acts, and ignore his acting skills. So much so that he has the title of vase man. God is pitiful, Lee Min Ho is most distressed by the vase man, he has been practicing acting very diligently, and even after the success of "City Hunter", he deliberately transformed into the costume drama "Xinyi", in order to wash away people's impression of the beautiful man in his period drama, but ...... This drama is really not ideal, whether it is ratings or word-of-mouth. So much so that while he was trying to make a change, his popularity began to decline.
In order to regain his popularity, Lee Min Ho had no choice but to give up the purpose of his transformation and continue to take the route of idol flowers and men to take over the filming of the new drama "The Inheritors". Not surprisingly, this drama became popular again, and Lee Min Ho's popularity rebounded again, but for Lee Min Ho, he felt that his image was completely stereotyped.
That's right, beautiful men are very popular, but how long can they be popular like this? Three, five, or ten?
South Korea has never lacked beautiful men, small fresh meat, and he is already old, do you still have to sell cuteness in your thirties?
Lee Min Ho was distressed and worried.
At this time, his opponent Yin Tianyou ran an olive branch to him, saying that he would cooperate with him to make a movie if possible.
At first, Lee Min Ho thought it was a joke, but when he read the script handed to him by Yoon Tianyou, he understood that all this was true. When he read the script, and then replied without hesitation, Yin Tianyou, I do.
Without it, just because the script role that Yin Tianyou gave him is very special, which can be summed up in three words, it is "dirty and messy".
The story of this script is very simple, set in Seoul in the seventies of the last century, it tells the grievances and hatreds between two men in the Jiangnan real estate world that is "full of gold" and full of power and **. Jin Zhong, who was born as an orphan, has fierce fists and feet, and is accidentally involved in gang fights, and gradually grows from a low-level man to a generation of gang legends. In the crazy enclosure where gangsters gather in the Gangnam area, Kim Jong-dae faces a dilemma between money and family.
The role that Yoon Tianyou arranged for Lee Min Ho is Kim Jong-dae, an orphan who lives a poor life of picking up rags, with a kind nature and great affection, but he is extraordinary when he fights. In the secret battle for land in the south of the Yangtze River, he did not hesitate to take risks everywhere, just to protect his family and gang brothers, and finally fell into a dangerous dilemma.
But that's not the point, most of Lee Min Ho's images in the script are dark-faced, dirty, and tattered, which is worse than a beggar.
It was this specific shape that was almost "disfigured" that captured Lee Min Ho's strong desire to transform.
Flower boys can only be very popular, and only the powerful faction is the way out.
Of course, as a Korean artist, Lee Min Ho, like many artists, has to consult his agent for advice, no matter how big or small. And his agent doesn't happen to be the kind of short-sighted person, and he also hopes that Lee Min Ho can transform successfully, what is missing now is an opportunity, and this opportunity is coming, of course, it must be seized.
……
Back at the scene, the unexpected appearance of South Korea's super beautiful man Lee Min Ho immediately set off a huge climax among fans. Screams, screams continued. But for those media reporters, they were surprised by Yin Tianyou's unparalleled interpersonal relationships.
Look, even Lee Min Ho and Kim so-hyun, who are competing with him, come to cheer him on, Yoon Tianyou is too strong.
As we all know, as a Korean artist, he has good morality, good acting skills, and good popularity, which are the three major soft powers.
Obviously, Yin Tianyou has it all.
After this wave of excitement, the appearance of South Korea's most well-known director, Jung Yiying, once again set off a climax on the scene.
Who is Jung Yi Young?
The popular Korean drama "Spark" directed by him once formed the Korean Wave and swept Asia, and "Mom is Angry", "My Man's Woman", and "No Child Carefree" are also his works. In South Korea, where seniority is ranked, his identity is definitely not trivial, even if it is a big name like Jang Dongjian and Lee Byung-hun, you have to bow and salute when you see him. However, he also has an identity, that is, the father of newcomer actor Jung Kyung-ho in the film industry, and this time he is not only supporting his son, but also supporting his junior Ha Jung-woo. So his arrival also surprised all the media.
As we all know, Jung Kyung-ho is not the kind of actor who relies on his father's generation, and Jung Yi-young has never praised or supported his son in public, but this time he openly appeared at the premiere, which undoubtedly aroused strong heated discussions among everyone.
……
No one expected that such a premiere would invite so many well-known people from South Korea to attend.
But before everyone could come out of the shock, they suddenly saw a black Lincoln sedan parked in front of the red carpet.
Lincoln car?
Black?
You should know that this black model can only be ridden in Korea by those who have a noble status. It is a symbol of identity and status. But now...... Who is this man? Everyone was very curious.
As a result, those media reporters invariably pointed the spotlight at the mysterious person who was about to come down. (To be continued.) )
