Chapter 350: Splitting Accounts
Jung Hyuk Jae and Han Jiaren grinded and chirped in the bedroom for half an hour before they came out, and in the dining room, his sister Zheng Minchu had already sat down and started eating, and then they saw Zheng Hyuk Jae and Han Jiaren coming down from upstairs.
"Min Chu, it's early!"
Han Jiaren said with some embarrassment, and her face tended to turn a little ruddy before she could speak.
After hearing Han Jiaren's words, Zheng Minchu nodded his little head and then said to Zheng Hyukzai: "Brother, you are getting lazier and lazier, what time do you get up in the morning." Zheng Minchu couldn't help but complain.
Zheng Hyukjae rubbed his waist, glanced at Han Jiaren who walked into the bathroom, his heart was full of 'grievances', he seemed to be the hardest working one, and he had to be treated like this in the end, which is not fair!
Standing in front of the window and stretching a few lazinesses, Zheng Hyukzai has already made a decision in his heart, after the filming of the movie "Lao Qian", he must go to exercise, otherwise his body will be useless before he reaches the age of thirty. The same was true in his previous life, because of the unhappiness in his career, coupled with all the things that went wrong in the love field, smoking and drinking were common things, and he was only in his thirties at the time, and his body was the same as that of a man in his forties, and he couldn't go on like this in this life.
"Min Chu, you eat first, and I'll send you to school after eating in a while." With that, Jung Hyuk-jae walked to the bathroom to get ready to wash up.
Han Jiaren had already finished washing, and she was about to come out, but when she saw Jung Hyuk-jae walking into the bathroom, she stopped and stood behind Jung Hyuk-jae and looked at him through the mirror.
Sensing the movement behind him, Jung Hyuk-jae felt a little strange, and he turned around to look at Han Jiaren, who was fascinated, and asked, "What's wrong with you?" You've been looking at me like this since last night? ”
"They all say that your eyes are a pair of golden pupils, as long as you look at them in the end, you won't lose!" As she spoke, Han Jiaren unconsciously stretched out her hand, as if she wanted to touch these eyes that were passed on by outsiders. However, he quickly reacted and hurriedly withdrew his hand.
"What's wrong? Isn't it like touching it? Jung Hyuk-jae said with a smile.
Hearing Zheng Hyuk Jae's words, Han Jiaren nodded a little embarrassed, "Hmm! ”
Jung Hyuk-jae obediently lowered his body to be the same height as Han Jiaren, and then approached Han Jiaren full, and a pair of mesmerizing eyes were getting closer and closer to her. Close enough to hear the other party's breathing, this made Han Jiaren suddenly feel a little uncomfortable, especially those attractive eyes, the dark eyes revealed a warm look, and the face that was still a little angular was softened by these eyes, revealing an indescribable gentleness.
Under such a gaze, Han Jiaren inexplicably felt a burst of oppression, obviously it was not the first time to look at these eyes, but why did gentle eyes give people such a strong sense of oppression? Han Jiaren couldn't help but take a few steps back. The floor of the bathroom was already a little slippery, and in the process of retreating, Han Jiaren didn't grasp her balance well, and she was about to fall, but fortunately, Zheng Hyuk Jae grabbed her arm quickly, which saved her from an accident.
“Oppa……”
Such a humiliating thing happened, Han Jiaren didn't dare to look into Zheng Hyukjae's eyes now, but fortunately, Zheng Hyukjae didn't say anything, reached out and patted her head and let her leave.
After breakfast. Han Ga-in was picked up by her agency's nanny car, and Jung Hyuk-jae first sent his sister to school. Then he drove to CJ Entertainment's film and television department, of course, his trip today cannot be called a dunning, but should be called a share of spoils...... Split the account!
"The King's Man" has set a historic viewing record and box office revenue, as the creator and producer of this legend, Jung Hyuk-jae is naturally very happy, of course, the happiest is actually because of a large amount of income in the account. What is the movie made for? Isn't it just for profit!
Of course, if it is for fame, it can also make sense, after all, with fame, profits will naturally follow, so many literary and artistic films shot by so many small film production companies every year to participate in film exhibitions in various countries for what? Don't you just want to be able to win a few awards, and then sell the movie with these reasons?
In fact, no matter where the market for literary films is, it is small and pitiful. These small companies and big-budget films can't get involved, so they have to rely on such means to survive, which is also the lowest component of the pyramid of the Korean film industry, which cannot be said to be none, but it is also an indispensable part of this circle.
"Jung Hyuk Jae xi! Minister Lee Sung-in is already waiting for you in the office! When Jung Hyuk-jae stepped into the door of CJ Entertainment's film and television department, the front desk lady who had already noticed the person coming came out to greet him, and said as he spoke.
It seems that after experiencing the last incident, she has learned a lot more shrewdly, and knows that those people can't be slack, just like the one in front of her now, Li Chengren gave an order at the beginning, don't snub the other party, as long as they come over, they must be treated well, naturally they are subordinates and take Zheng Hyokjae to heart.
"Is Minister Li already here?" Jung Hyuk-jae was a little surprised.
The front desk lady led the way in front while listening carefully to Jung Hyuk-jae's words, and introduced: "Minister Kang of Lotte Film and Television has also arrived. ”
"Really? It's quite early to come today......" Jung Hyuk-jae said with a smile, and he already understood a little bit in his heart, can't they come early, today is the day to share the accounts with the theater chain, as the distributor of the movie, they have naturally been waiting for the arrival of this arrears.
After walking a short distance, the front desk lady stopped in front of the door, then turned to Jung Hyuk Jae and said, "Jung Hyuk Jae, this is it, Minister Li is waiting for you inside." ”
"Okay, I see, thank you." Jung Hyuk-jae thanked him, then pushed open the office door.
The three big men in the office are swallowing clouds and spitting fog, and the office that is not small is whole by these three people, and the room is full of smoke, and people who don't know the situation think that they have arrived in a fairyland!
Because of quitting smoking, Jung Hyuk-jae now smells smoke and feels a little uncomfortable in his throat, and after coughing a few times, the three people who are still immersed in it realize that someone has come in. Only then did he quickly extinguish the smoke, and Li Chengren stood up and opened the window to breathe.
"Hejae Xi is here?" Li Chengren saw that Zheng Hyuk-jae was the same as seeing his own brother who had not seen him for many years, so he stepped forward and gave a big hug, and Jiang Sung-shin on the side spread his hands and didn't know whether he should come forward and hug him, only Li Junyi sat on the sofa with a smile and looked at the three people who were in love with each other.
Several people exchanged pleasantries a few times, and then they sat down. Let's start with today's topic.
Split the account!
Overall, the total box office results of "The King's Man" are much better than "Welcome to Dongmo Village", whether it is word-of-mouth or audience ratings, "The King's Man" is a well-deserved first in today's film industry, and it is also another milestone film on the Korean film gallery.
Compared with the film "Taiji Flag Flying", which cost a total of 17 billion won, the production cost of "The King's Man" is less than a fraction of the production cost of "Taiji Flag Flying", but the box office value it created is even more brilliant, "Taiji Flag Flying" took 100 days to reach 11.74 million viewers, while "The King's Man" advanced this record by 33 days. The total number of moviegoers exceeded 12 million. In other words, that is, one in four Koreans has seen the film, which is a great achievement for such a film without big stars, big productions, and big publicity.
Because of this, "The King's Man" is even more amazing in terms of profits, with a box office performance of 12.3 million 1289 people alone, it has earned more than 100 billion won at the box office, and some film production companies in the circle have discovered this astonishing number after a little calculation. All of them were dumbfounded.
Of course, this 100 billion achievement is naturally not all JHJFilm's profits, and most of this money is more than 57% to the theater chain. The rest of the money has to be deducted from the special fund for the film business and business tax, and it has been calculated that out of the 100 billion won, the production companies of JHJFilm and Lee Jun-ik, as well as the two distribution companies CJ Entertainment and Lotte Films, have made profits of more than 40 billion won.
According to the contract signed between the two parties, JHJFilm finally made a box office profit of 18 billion won, and JHJFilm's total investment in the film was only 3 billion won. With profits reaching a staggering 600%, it's no wonder that everyone says that movies are a money-grabbing project.
In fact, in addition, "The King's Man" also has different incomes in terms of other profit points, such as various peripheral products of "The King's Man", similar to the protagonist dolls, keychains, posters, etc. in the crust. Don't look at these cheap, but the profits are really not low, there are more than 3 billion in this area alone, and when the time comes, Zheng Hyuk Jae and Li Junyi will share the profits in this area, that is to say, half of the investment will be recovered with the income from the surrounding areas alone.
The copyright of overseas films is also a large part of the revenue, and at present, with the end of screenings in major cities in China, some other countries have also consulted about overseas copyrights, such as China, Japan and the United States, etc. Let's not talk about whether "The King's Man" is not in line with the taste of foreigners, the risk of box office sharing is too great, and it is far less refreshing than a one-time buyout, after all, the memory of his previous life tells Jung Hyuk-jae that "The King's Man" is not to be pounced on in the overseas film market.
After some discussion, the overseas copyrights of many countries were completed, and it brought nearly 2 million US dollars of overseas income to "The King's Man", which is more than 30 billion won when converted into Korean won, and the overseas side no longer needs to be divided with JC Entertainment and LOtte Film and Television, but only needs to be divided equally between Jung Hyuk Jae and Lee Jun Yi, which means that Zheng Hyuk Jae has brought more than 30 billion won with "The King's Man", and the income is over 1000%!
At the end of the discussion, CJ Entertainment's Lee Sung-in talked about the production and distribution of DVDs and Blu-ray DVDs, after all, it was time to put this item on the agenda at the end of the movie screening, but everyone was unanimous on this issue, that is, to postpone the release of DVDs.
The main reason is that although "The King's Man" has now ended its screening in Seoul and other big cities, "The King's Man" is still showing in theaters in many smaller cities, and it is predicted that it will continue to be shown for a while, but these moviegoers are no longer counted in the final box office results. In addition, "The King's Man" has just negotiated the overseas distribution, and there are many movies in the film industry that will only be released in China after the overseas release due to the problem of developed networks and illegal downloads, such as "Tai Chi Flag Flying" will be released on DVD 8 months after its release, and "The King's Man" is naturally no exception, it is expected that the DVD version and Blu-ray version will be launched in China after half a year, and movie lovers who like to collect it are estimated to cry and faint in the toilet if they learn the news.
As for some box office failures of the film within a week after the end of the theater screening DVD to the market, the purpose is self-evident, under normal circumstances, the box office profit of the movie is 80%, DVD profit is 8-9%, so of course the film company will end the box office failure movie as soon as possible and release the DVD, so as to make up for the loss.
"Jung Hyuk Jaexi, there have been a lot of news about JHJFilm on the news recently, and what I saw when I opened the news network was about you, you are so popular!" After talking about the account sharing, everyone comfortably leaned on the sofa and chatted while drinking tea.
"It's all a lie, but I'm not as suspenseful as everyone says." Zheng Hyuk-jae naturally understood the meaning of Li Chengren's words, but he hurriedly waved his hand and explained.
However, a few of you here obviously don't believe it, take CJ Entertainment's Lee Sung-in as an example, after "Welcome to Dongmo Village" and "The King's Man", when it comes to the person who wants to cooperate the most, it is naturally JHJFilm, which is owned by Jung Hyuk Jae, and it is naturally impossible to make money.
In fact, not only Li Chengren, but also Jiang Chengxin of Lotte Film and Television, Lotte Film and Television is not only an emerging film production company in China, but also a distribution company, what does the distribution company value most? Naturally, it is the quality of the film and whether it can make money in theaters, and it is obvious that the few films that Jung Hyuk Jae has shot can meet these two requirements.
"I don't know how the filming of Hek Jaexi's "Lao Qian" went? I heard that Bong Joon-hoxi's "Monster of the Han River" has also started filming? Has Park Kwang-hyun's "The Troubles of Beauty" started filming? Next, Li Chengren asked a few questions one after another.
Jiang Chengxin, who saw this on the side, was anxious, don't bring such a play, CJ Entertainment, although you are a big man in the industry, you always have to drink some soup for the little brother who has just entered the industry, right?
The two sides began to fight over the distribution rights of these three films, and Li Junyi on the side also joined in the fun, but he was not aiming for the distribution rights, but the production of "Monster of the Han River".
"Hejae Xi, if there are any difficulties in the production of "Han River Monster", you can tell me!"
