Chapter 212: The Black Hand Behind the Scenes
"What's going on? I ask you! Yes! ”
In the office of a company, a middle-aged man in his forties threw aside the report in his hand with a slap, and his old face was even more red with anger, pointing at the subordinates in front of him who bowed their heads and said nothing, with an angry face.
"I pay you a salary to feed you for nothing, is the propaganda in place? How did you tell me before the movie was released? There is definitely no problem with what box office results, and what release must be the first in the number of weekly viewers, now what? I ask you now? ”
The middle-aged man walked up to his subordinate and poked his finger directly into the forehead of a male subordinate, "I can't do anything, get out of here!" ”
"President Chen, don't be angry, think of a way to achieve domestic results, and you can't rush for a while." At this time, the young man who had been standing aside raised his head, smiled slightly, and then persuaded, with no anxiety on his face.
"Pei Yongjunxi, I'm really sorry to let you see the joke!" President Chen wiped the beads of sweat from his face, which was all angry with his subordinates.
"President Chen, I'm angry!" Pei Yongjun said with a smile, "Let's go, let's go outside and talk about it." ”
Before leaving, President Chen glared at the subordinates of his publicity department a few times, and said in a 'kind' manner: "Give me a good job!" Then he walked out of the office with Pei Yongjun.
Pei Yongjun came to his office under the leadership of President Chen, Pei Yongjun sat on the sofa, and President Chen poured a glass of water himself, and then sat down next to Pei Yongjun with an embarrassed face.
"After all, the movie has only been released for a week, and its potential has not yet been realized, so Bae Yongjun Xi actually doesn't have to worry!" President Chen said with a smile.
Pei Yongjun glanced at the partner next to him, and then said: "With President Chen's check, of course I'm not worried, but don't you think the scheduling rate and the number of screens in "Welcome to Dongmo Village" are a bit too much?" ”
The movie in the mouths of the two is naturally the movie "Going Out" starring Bae Yongjun. In 2003, Bae Yongjun starred in his first film "Scandal - North Korean Men and Women Pleasant Words", and won the Best Male Newcomer Award at the 24th Blue Dragon Film Festival and the Male Newcomer Award at the 40th Korean Baeksang Art Awards that year. This movie is Bae Yongjun's second movie, and it is the first time he has returned to the entertainment industry after two years, so Bae Yongjun is naturally very interested in this movie.
In June 2004, Pei Yongjun established his own brokerage company-BOF Agency, in addition to being his own brokerage company, Pei Yongjun has also invested in movies and TV series, and Pei Yongjun is among the investors of the movie "Going Out".
In fact, if you don't count Jung Hyuk-jae, then Bae Yong-jun's life is a good protagonist template. When I was an actor, there were almost no things that didn't go well, I won almost one of the awards I should get, and it was even smoother to set up a company and be the boss, what is this not the protagonist?
It's just that the Waterloo of the movie "Going Out" was something Pei Yongjun never expected!
When the box office results of "Welcome to Dongmo Village" and "Honor of the Family 2" are getting higher and higher, the number of viewers of the movie "Going Out" starring himself has plummeted.
If it weren't for the fact that Pei Yongjun shouted a few times in his FanClub a few days ago. It is likely that the attendance rate of "Going Out" will fall below 30% today, you must know that this movie has only been released for a week, and the opening results of the movie are so bad that Bae Yongjun is beginning to doubt his appeal among fans.
"What's the matter, the theater chain still refuses to increase the number of screens?" He put down the teacup in his hand. Bae Yongjun asked with concern.
Hearing Pei Yongjun's words, President Chen of the distribution company nodded, then sighed before saying: ""Welcome to Dongmo Village" has been released for a month, but I didn't expect the theater to still attach so much importance to this movie!" ”
"I've actually seen the movie. The quality of the movie can only be said to be okay, but it feels completely unworthy of its results! President Chen continued, when it came to the movie "Welcome to Dongmo Village". His face became a little unnatural, and it was clear that he had a deep grudge against this movie in his heart.
When "Welcome to Dongmo Village" continued to take a steady step towards 6 million, the number of screens of the movie not only did not decrease, but it was still more than "Going Out" and "Glory of the Family 2" combined, which is not to say that the theater chain is more biased towards "Welcome to Dongmo Village", but the attendance rate and audience praise of "Welcome to Dongmo Village" are still the highest among these films.
Although it has been released for a month, the audience praise of "Welcome to Dongmo Village" is still as high as 90%, and the attendance rate has been maintained at about 50%.
Although "The Honor of the Family 2 The Crisis of the Family" successfully topped the number of viewers this week, the old-fashioned plot and vulgar jokes have attracted a lot of bad reviews for the film, and this movie is PG15 level, which means that it is forbidden to watch under the age of 15.
Not to mention "Going Out", although this movie is under the banner of a romantic movie, the hero and heroine in the film have a five-minute bed scene, which is precisely because of this by the Film Association as 'under 18 years old (teenagers are not allowed) to watch', which makes the producers and distributors feel even more depressed.
The production cost of "Going Out" is 6.5 billion won, compared to the production cost of "Welcome to Dongmo Village", which is not enough to watch, but there is not much relationship between the final results of the film and the production cost, just like the number of viewers of "Welcome to Dongmo Village" exceeded 5 million early, and the number of viewers of "Going Out" was less than 150,000 in the first week of release, you must know that the profit and loss point of "Going Out" is 2.16 million, that is to say, the number of moviegoers only reached 2.16 million, The movie is not a loss, but it will not be until what year and month will it arrive!
""Welcome to Dongmo Village" has recently started to be promoted again, didn't the actress in their crew get together with the director? Can you make a fuss about this? Hearing the helplessness in President Chen's words, Pei Yongjun suddenly proposed
It's not just ShowEast that's happening. ShowBox, the distribution company of "The Honor of the Family 2", was also thinking about the relevant publicity plan overnight, don't look at it and "Going Out" There is a certain competitive relationship, but in fact, both sides have the same goal, and the two sides actually reached a consensus on this point, that is, "Welcome to Dongmo Village", no matter what, the film must be pulled down first.
Everyone sharpened their knives and took "Welcome to Dongmo Village" as their goal and direction
These days, CJ. The E&M publicity department is busy with both hands and feet, and there are several release films that are about to be released, and they are preparing for the preliminary publicity work. On the other hand, the scandal between the heroine and director of "Welcome to Dongmo Village" is known all over the city.
Originally, I just wanted to concoct a piece of news to arouse the attention of the audience, and by the way, I walked into the cinema to watch or rewatch the movie "Welcome to Dongmo Village", but I didn't expect the sudden revelation of Jiang Huizhen's boyfriend, which instantly drowned out the saliva of the majority of netizens on the cusp of the two people, which was something that the staff of the CJ.E&M publicity and distribution department never expected.
Originally, they just thought that there was no news to create a piece of news to attract everyone's attention to the movie, but they didn't expect the development of things to be somewhat unexpected to them, and no one expected that Kang Hye-jung would really do the fake play of Park Kwang-hyun, and at the same time, it was also revealed that Kang Hye-jung had a boyfriend.
In the early and mid-release of many movies, there will be all kinds of public relations drafts flooding the major entertainment sections, such as what the two leading actors in the crew tear apart, and everyone looks down on each other, these are all trivial. The male and female protagonists are together after starring in TV series or movies, which is a common means used by the promoters, although the audience has become numb to such news reports, but everyone will still be excited.
After the movie is released, the two will definitely be exposed to a peaceful breakup or something, these are all ploys when they are promoted!
Park Kwang-hyun, who was in the limelight, was named a 'third party'. If it weren't for "Welcome to Dongmo Village" being nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, it is estimated that he would still be worried about his own affairs at this time!
"Come on, Hejae, let's have a drink!"
A caverna on this side of Daehak-ro in Seoul. Park Kwang-hyun picked up the wine glass on the table and handed it to Jung Hyuk-jae, and said incoherently.
"Let's have a drink! Hurry up, dare to have a drink! ”
Look at someone in front of you who is drunk and don't know. Jung Hyuk-jae only felt a big head for a while, why did he answer his call when he had nothing to do, why did he come here when he had nothing to do, didn't he find fault for himself?
"Guang Xuan Xi, you're drunk!"
Unexpectedly, Park Kwang-hyun couldn't hear Jung Hyuk-jae's other words clearly, but he heard this sentence very clearly, and there was no noise at all.
"Nonsense, who said I was drunk, I'm just getting started!" As he spoke, Park Kwang-hyun picked up the wine glass and handed it to his lips, if it weren't for Jung Hyuk-jae stealing a glass of water for him in time, this glass of wine would be 'coo-dong' again.
"Huh? The taste of this glass of wine is not quite right, right? ”
Drunk and drunk, I didn't expect that he would know what wine tasted like at this time, looking at Park Kwang-hyun's drunken appearance in front of him, Jung Hyuk-jae couldn't help but snicker, he had never seen Park Kwang-hyun's appearance, was he really angry with the recent news?
Because they are not the parties involved, Jung Hyuk-jae doesn't know what happened between Kang Hye-jung and Park Kwang-hyun, after all, these are just private matters between the two of them, and Jung Hyuk-jae, an outsider, is not easy to interfere with.
Whether Kang Hye-jung is deeply attracted by Park Kwang-hyun's talent, or Park Kwang-hyun is strong on Kang Hye-jung, these are not so important, and the most important thing is how to minimize these bad influences?
Here, Park Kwang-hyun was drinking boiled water by himself with a cup, and Jung Hyuk-jae was lost in thought, thinking about how to send Park Kwang-hyun home for a while.
Just thinking about it, Park Kwang-hyun's mobile phone on the desktop suddenly rang at this time, and the drunk Park Kwang-hyun didn't seem to hear the sound of his mobile phone ringing, seeing this, Jung Hyuk-jae had to pick up the mobile phone on the desktop and press the answer button.
"Hey, hello, I'm Jung Hyuk-jae, Park Kwang-hyun xi is not very convenient to answer the phone at this time!" Jung Hyuk-jae said bluntly.
I didn't hear an answer, and after a while there was no sound on the other end of the phone, "Hey, can anyone hear me?" ”
No one responded, Jung Hyuk Jae couldn't help but feel strange, took the phone away from his ear, looked at the caller ID on the screen, and the doubts in his heart were counteracted, it turned out to be her.
"Jiang Huizhenxi, do you have anything to do?" Jung Hyuk-jae asked again.
After a long while, a soft and weak female voice on the other end of the phone spoke: "Hello Zheng PD, is Guangxuan Oppa with you?" ”
"Zheng PD, thank you really today!"
Jung Hyuk Jae helped send the drunk Park Kwang-hyun to the car, and Kang Hye-jung stood in front of him and said a little embarrassed.
Recently, because there is too much news about herself on the Internet, on TV and in the newspapers, Jiang Huizhen has not been out for a long time, and her agency also persuaded herself not to go out, so as not to be in danger, after all, once you are recognized on the road, then if everyone is around you, then don't think about it for three or four hours.
"You're welcome, slow down on the way back!"
Jung Hyuk-jae beckoned in the direction of Kang Hye-jeong's departure, and then he smiled, another man who fell in love alone!
Seeing off Park Kwang-hyun, Jung Hyuk-jae glanced at the watch time, it was only eight o'clock in the evening, and it was still early, so Jung Hyuk-jae took a step and wandered around the street.
Walking past a movie theater, there are several large posters in front of the theater occupying the outer wall of this theater, the most conspicuous is naturally "Welcome to Dongmo Village", the other is the recently popular "Home Honor 2", as for the other is the stills of Son Ye-jin embracing Bae Yongjun in "Going Out".
Seeing this, Jung Hyuk-jae suddenly took his own steps and walked into this movie theater, came to the ticket office and said to the ticket seller: "Have a movie ticket for "Going Out", the most recent show!" (To be continued......)
