The transfer contract of the theater was completed in less than a week under the representation of a lawyer, which means that from now on, the eight-hall theater is officially under the umbrella of JHJFilm, and from production to distribution to release, JHJFilm can also be regarded as a 'one-stop' service. The theater, which was originally called the Korean Theater, was officially renamed JHJ Theater on this day, which became another step in Jung Hyuk-jae's film and television plan.

Of course, it is not enough to have only this one, if you want to be a cinema chain, you must have enough theaters, of course, it is not necessarily invested in and built by yourself, as long as there are independent theaters that want to join, it is acceptable, Jung Hyuk Jae's goal is to invest in the construction of several representative and comfortable large theaters as signboards, and the rest is to attract other independent theaters to join. JHJ's cinema organization, accept its own management, in addition to the annual preferential treatment in the introduction and agency of films, all the films invested and filmed by their own subsidiaries will have corresponding discounts, and the scale and fame will be easy to say about the next development.

Of course, this is not an overnight project, and it requires a little more patience in this regard.

Although the end of April is not the time when blockbusters are released, but on Fridays and weekends, people who have worked for a week choose to bring their flag children or their girlfriends choose to watch a brainless movie at this time, it is also a very pleasant thing to think about, of course, even if you don't have a girlfriend, don't be sad, you can also take your thumbelina to watch a movie, and leave with your left hand holding your right hand.

This movie theater, formerly known as the Korean Theater, is no exception, although there are very few audiences who come here on weekdays, but on weekends there are audiences who like to watch literary films still choose to come to this old place in Chungmuro, after all, they are used to watching movies here, and there is a special passage to the theater from the subway exit, which is particularly convenient, because there are not so many 'vulgar' fans who only know how to pay attention to popcorn movies. Therefore, the environment here is also very quiet, because this theater has always been a favorite place for independent filmmakers.

This time, though, they apparently came at the wrong time, and were greeted by the locked door and the note on the wall outside the door.

"Dear fans and members, our store will be closed from April 27th to May 3rd due to renovations, so please don't worry, members will open normally after May 3rd."

"How so?" Seeing this, many people's faces couldn't help but show a trace of loss, originally there was a small-budget literary movie released this week, but it was said that there were not many theaters that opened naturally with a small budget. I finally found a theater that specializes in showing literary films, but it was still closed due to renovation, and many people left with disappointment.

"Let's go, then we'll have to come back next week." Someone couldn't help but sigh and said.

Of course, some people are worried, after all, it is difficult for literary films to make money at the box office, "Next week? I don't know if this movie will be screened next week, after all, the results of the opening painting are not good at all, and I am afraid that this movie will be offline next week. ”

"If it's offline, then I'll have to wait for the DVD version to be released......"

People chatted and left, but soon someone noticed something unusual about this ordinary-looking theater.

"Huh? Look, is the sign outside the building going to be renamed? "Someone noticed that the 'Korean Theater' that was originally hanging outside was blinded by a step. From the outcrop, it is clear that the original word 'Daehan' has been replaced by a few letters.

Someone noticed this, and naturally some people found more clues, such as the small note posted outside the door of the theater just now, and the name of the theater that was finally signed was "JHJ Cinema". Of course, it may be because the font on the paper is too small, so no one noticed it just now, because someone reminded the signboard outside the building, and someone noticed this.

"Changed your name? Or is it a substitution? "Someone can't help but get worried. After all, as a frequent visitor here, he also applied for a membership card, so I am afraid that the owner of this theater will not even recognize his membership card in the end, although there is not much money left in it. But in the end, it's also a disgusting thing.

"I guess it's just a name change, right?" Soon someone spoke out and comforted him.

"My membership card has just been issued, and there are more than 900,000 in it! What if I change my boss and he doesn't recognize the card? So who will bear our losses? One woman's words expressed everyone's concerns.

"That's it, that's it! I still have more than 500,000 in my card, if I change the boss and don't recognize it, then I won't lose a lot of money! ”

"You're all quite few, I saw it doing activities recently, so I directly applied for a two-million membership card and enjoyed a 50% discount, which hasn't been seen a few times!"

More than 20 members gathered around each other to talk about their 'losses', and the worry on their faces was even more palpable, which was clearly visible. However, it is said that the power of the masses is great, and some people can find out that the theater has changed its name, and naturally some people can find the owner of the renamed "JHJ Cinema", after all, there are not many companies in the entertainment industry that start with JHJ, and there is such a company in the film industry that has often dominated the front pages of newspapers and media recently-JHJFilm, could it be that the new boss is this company? Some people pondered the possibility of such a situation, and some people called JHJFilm directly according to the phone number they found on the Internet, and the results made the worries on the faces of those present dissipate in an instant.

It turned out that this theater was taken over by JHJFilm, and according to the little sister at the front desk of JHJFilm company on the phone, the theater is open for business after the redecoration, and its own membership card can still be used, but it needs to be replaced with a new membership card, after all, the old membership card is still printed with the 'Korean Theater' and other logos, which must be renewed.

With her words, everyone's hearts were put back in their stomachs, of course, on the way back, it was still indispensable to discuss this miracle company that has caused an uproar recently, as well as the behind-the-scenes boss of this company-Jung Hyuk Jae......

……………………………………………………………………………………

"Jung Hyuk Jaexi, it's really a 'hero out of a boy'!"

"Li Chengren Xi has won the award, I'm just an ignorant doll in this circle, where is a young hero!" On this day, Jung Hyuk-jae's partner CJ Entertainment sat down again with Lee Sung-in and Kang Sung-shin of Lotte Film and Television at a high-end business club in Cheongdam-dong. It's especially suitable for people like them who talk about business while chatting.

"Haha, Hejae Xi, you're joking again, if a young upstart like you can't be called a 'young hero', then can our group of old men who are already almost confused be called 'teenagers'?" Jiang Chengxin said with a smile with tea in his hand, the atmosphere of everyone's chat was very relaxed and comfortable, just like an old friend who had known each other for many years.

"What kind of old man is there, even if you go out and say that you are in your early twenties, someone will believe you!"

Jung Hyuk-jae also smiled and complimented, of course, the words were more or less exaggerated, after all, time is irreversible, even if there is an 'artifact' like hyaluronic acid. It is impossible to completely block the invasion of time, it is naturally a compliment to say that they are in their early twenties, but it is not entirely true to say that they are in their early thirties, after all, people will choose to take good care of themselves when they reach a certain level, and men are no exception.

"I heard that Jung Hyuk Jae Xi has taken down the theater in Chungmuro." Li Chengren said that the words are not interrogative sentences.

Jung Hyuk-jae nodded, these are not secrets, as long as anyone in the circle can find out, "Because I'm going to make a movie." So it's like being closer to Zhongwu Road, and getting touched by the 'fairy spirit' of those big directors. ”

Jung Hyuk-jae said with a smile, naturally the two people present didn't believe what he said, so he ran to a jewelry store with a robber and said, 'I'm not here to step on it.' Just want to see these beautiful jewels'.

What Zheng Hyuk Jae had in mind Li Chengren and Jiang Chengxin naturally knew it clearly, no matter how they said that the two of them were old foxes who had been in this circle for decades, and their sense of smell was still very sensitive, in fact, from Zheng Hyuk Jae's experience, they could speculate what the path he chose to take. From the writer of the first variety show to the PD of the variety show. During this period, he also filmed a short drama as a director, published a novel as a writer, and then became the director of a TV series. From accumulating experience, strength and financial resources in TV dramas, to later investing in films, signing new talents, and now investing in and shooting big-budget movies and opening theaters, it can be clearly seen that he is following the same path as CJ Entertainment, and may not be as wealthy as CJ Entertainment in terms of diversification in the entertainment industry, but his vision is just as high, and most importantly, he is still very young!

Li Chengren and Jiang Chengxin, the two old foxes, never dared to despise such young people, because youth is their greatest capital, especially a person like Zheng Hyuk-jae who is so young and has created such a big business, he dare not underestimate it. Thinking of this, Lee Sung-in and Kang Sung-shin looked at each other for a while, and then turned their gaze back to Jung Hyuk-jae. Of course, the purpose of the two of them today is not only to feel the young man Jung Hyuk-jae, but to carry out further cooperation with JHJFilm, such as the distribution and production of films.

Everyone in the circle is discussing whether Jung Hyuk-jae has a pair of 'golden eyes', but for this superstitious gossip, Lee Sung-in and Kang Sung-shin definitely don't believe it, they would rather believe it because of Jung Hyuk-jae's keen sense of smell than believe such an empty rumor. Of course, this rumor is also well-founded, that is, Jung Hyuk-jae's investment has never missed, and it has not been a lot of money.

"Hyuk Jaexi, I heard that "Lao Qian" and "The Troubles of Beauty" have already started filming? I don't know if there is anything we need help with in the production. ”

The 'help' mentioned here is naturally talking about investment, Li Chengren and Jiang Chengxin, you are the kind of people who can't afford to be unprofitable, and they must have taken a fancy to the considerable profits that "Lao Qian" and "The Troubles of Beauty" can bring after their release, you must know that they have earned a lot of benefits from "The King's Man", and this time is naturally no exception.

"I can still accept the investment in the two parts of "Lao Qian" and "The Trouble of Beauty", but the investment gap in "Hanjiang Monster" is a bit big, which of you two wants to 'help' me?" Jung Hyuk-jae said with a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"How big is the gap?" Li Chengren couldn't help but ask.

"Ten billion, you also know that "Lao Qian" and "The Troubles of Beauty" have started filming recently, plus another theater has been acquired, I am indeed a little stretched in terms of funds."

Hearing this, Li Chengren and Jiang Chengxin looked at each other, although there was no communication in language, but they probably understood everything, and then they only heard Li Chengren take the lead and said: "It's easy to say about funds, Jiang Chengxin of Lotte Film and Television and I have five billion on one side, what do you think?" ”

This is also what Lee Sung-in and Kang Sung-shin discussed before coming, try to win the production of a movie, who knew that when he heard his proposal, Jung Hyuk-jae shook his head and refused.

"I'm sorry, but I only accept one investment."

Jung Hyuk-jae opened his mouth to explain that this reason is also understandable, although one more company can share some risks, but the same final thing is also a trouble, and it is acceptable if only two parties invest. However, although Jung Hyuk-jae can accept it, CJ Entertainment and Lotte Film and Television said that they can't accept it, and no one dares to guarantee whether the investment of 10 billion yuan will make back the cost of a monster movie, even if its director is Bong Joon-ho, even if Jung Hyuk-jae has 'golden eyes' Chen Hao, they can't dispel the concerns of the two of them.

For this reason, the investment matter was put aside first, and then the distribution matter was discussed, because the previous three-party cooperation of "The King's Man" was very pleasant, and this time the three films started filming at the same time, and everyone was relieved that the distributor chose CJ Entertainment and Lotte Film and Television.

However, this time it was a little different, after some negotiations, CJ Entertainment took away the distribution rights of "Lao Qian", while Lotte Film and Television took away the distribution rights of "The Troubles of Beauty", as for the distribution rights of "Han River Monster", which everyone is most concerned about, Jung Hyuk Jae did not mention it on the charcoal plate this time, but everyone also understands in their hearts that the distribution of this movie seems to be done by JHJFilm himself.

Jung Hyuk-jae had already thought of this when he decided to carry out the company's distribution business, if the distribution of the three films was all completed by his own company, then the final result was likely to be wiped out, and the box office would not be able to return to the original at all, but it would be different to divide the distribution rights, and they would not do anything out of the ordinary for their own interests, and Jung Hyuk-jae's choice to start the distribution business was to move the cake of CJ and Lotte, although the two sides had a cooperative relationship. But it is inevitable that it will be suppressed openly and secretly, and there is no need to worry about suppression if the distribution right is separated, and this is equivalent to Zheng Hyuk-jae's 'casting peach', as for 'reporting Li', there is no need to say 'report Li', as long as it is left with time for Zheng Hyuk-jae.
