"In terms of theaters, Lotte Film and Television can give the greatest sincerity and scheduling, and not only that, but the promotion cost of the movie will be shared by us and CJ Entertainment."

When he saw this, Jung Hyuk-jae had to admire Kang Sung-shin's atmosphere, not only did he give great benefits to the film scheduling and publicity expenses, but even LotteEntertainment gave up 1% of the film's commission, don't underestimate this 1%, when the number multiplied by it is larger, this 1% represents a big number.

As a film production and distribution company, Lotte Entertainment really hopes to open up its own situation in the somewhat stubborn circle of the Korean film industry, and even Jung Hyuk Jae does not dare to say that he has really entered this circle, but can only say that he has opened a crack with the 10-million-level movie "Welcome to Dongmo Village", and the next road still needs to be taken step by step by himself.

For joint distribution, Zheng Hyuk-jae does not resist from the bottom of his heart, although joint distribution has its drawbacks, such as the distribution and settlement of final benefits will always delay some time, but the benefits are also obvious, that is, joint distribution can better promote the movie, the film publicity covers a wider area, and the audience is more, after all, although the quality of the publicity effect is not the decisive factor in the box office of the movie, it is definitely a key factor.

Now that Lotte Entertainment has finalized a cooperation with CJ Entertainment, Jung Hyuk Jae is more at ease. The parties finalize the time for signing the contract. Jiang Chengxin left the café with a smile on his face, and passers-by could see his bright mood.

Seeing the back of Kang Sung-shin leaving, Jung Hyuk-jae sat in the café for a while. Then he got up and left, as for the bill, Jiang Chengxin had already settled it before leaving

Cineworld Entertainment in Seoul, a film production company founded by Lee Joon-ik himself, has developed well among small and medium-sized film production companies, although it cannot be compared with a large company like CJ Entertainment or a potential company with strong financial resources like Lotte Entertainment after several years of development.

Before the filming of The King's Man. Cineworld Entertainment doesn't have many works that can be done, it can only be said that it is a mess, after all, Lee Jun-ik is just a director. There is still some no-brainer about entrepreneurship and business, without entrepreneurial thinking, otherwise Cineworld Entertainment would not have had that difficult time, almost bankrupt.

Fortunately, Lee Jun-ik's re-directed "Huangshan Expedition" successfully rescued Cineworld Entertainment. Otherwise, this company, which cost Li Junyi a lot of effort, would probably disappear.

Jung Hyuk-jae arrived at Cineworld Entertainment at half past two in the afternoon. Everyone has just started work. When the company's front desk lady saw the visitor, she immediately bent down and said respectfully, "Jung Hyuk Jae, hello!" ”

Because of the relationship between "The King's Man" and the partnership between Cineworld Entertainment and JHJFilm, Jung Hyuk Jae has been to Cineworld Entertainment many times, and the company's front desk ladies are almost familiar with him.

"Take it easy, I'm not going to eat people!" Seeing the nervous expression of the girl at the front desk, Jung Hyuk-jae waved his hand. "Is your boss back?"

Seeing that Zheng Hyuk-jae's face showed a small face, the girl at the front desk blushed and said to Zheng Hyuk-jae: "The boss came over in the morning." It's just that the mood doesn't seem to be very good. ”

Jung Hyuk-jae nodded to show his understanding, he was like this for a while, it seems that there is also a professional term, it seems to be called 'new film release tension syndrome', as for which doctor gave this name, the doctor's name happens to be Jung Hyuk-jae.

"I see, goodbye, beautiful young lady!"

Looking at the back of Jung Hyuk-jae leaving, the two girls at the front desk couldn't come back to their senses for a long time, and encouraged them for a while, and then the two of them reacted, one covered his red and hot cheeks, and the other put his hands together in a prayer form.

"I've decided, I'm going to chase him!" A girl suddenly spoke up and swore an oath. Another girl heard her colleague's words, and couldn't help but look at her brightly, and before her colleague could react from her beautiful fantasy, she had already stretched out her right hand and pressed it against her colleague's forehead, "Jingmei, you won't be complaining, right?" ”

"Fuck off, you're just complaining!" The famous Jingmei girl smacked her angrily.

"It's not whining, then you have a fever, how can you daydream in the daytime!" She continued to speak, dispelling her colleague's curiosity.

"What are you doing without daydreaming in the daylight!" Jingmei said, but her eyes were staring at Jung Hyuk-jae's back through the glass curtain wall behind her, and a pair of beautiful eyes were about to float out of the heart shape.

"Okay, okay, don't be disgusting, no matter how you daydream, people won't take a fancy to you!" Seeing her colleague's nymphomaniac, she was angry, but she wanted to verbally discourage her colleague's enthusiasm in this matter.

"Who made me naturally beautiful, men all fell under my pomegranate skirt when they saw me!" As she spoke, she took out the mirror that was placed under the table, carefully arranged her hair through the mirror, and said 'perfect' to anyone who saw herself!

"Vomit" Listening to Jingmei's 'narcissistic' words, she couldn't bear it anymore, and felt as if there was a foreign body in her throat.

"Hahaha! I've fooled you. ”

"You damn girl!"

Regarding the fight between the two girls at the front desk behind him, Jung Hyuk-jae didn't think much about it. He didn't expect the topic of the girls to revolve around him, from the gate to the inside of the company, and after walking more than twenty steps, he was already standing in front of the door of the editing room. Before he could push the door in, he heard the sound of an argument coming from inside the house.

"No, no! It doesn't work to cut it like this, so the plot is completely scattered, and the audience is confused when they see it in the end, how can it be done! ”

"Lao Li, it's definitely no problem to do this. You can rest assured! ”

Just hearing the quarrel between Lee Jun-yi and someone, Jung Hyuk-jae was already able to guess what the reason for the quarrel between the two was, but in fact, there was no need to guess at all. Definitely because of the clips of the movie.

If the completion of the filming is already half of the Long March, then the post-production, editing and soundtrack are a hurdle in the second half of the Long March.

"Brother Li? Brother Zhao? ”

In the editing room, the two were still arguing with red necks. Suddenly, I heard someone call out my name. Only then did they turn their heads, and after seeing that the person who came was Zheng Hyukzai, the two couldn't help but blush, shame, shame in front of the juniors.

"Oh, it's Hejae, why are you free to come here today?" Fortunately, Lee Jun-ik reacted quickly, and stood up after seeing Jung Hyuk-jae. took Jung Hyuk-jae's arm and entered the house, and closed the door of the editing room. In case you are overheard by the subordinates outside the door.

After all, they are all adults, Li Junyi and the editor are even more old characters, after getting through the embarrassment just now, they immediately reflected it, their old faces were not red, and their words were neat, "Why did you have time to come and have a look today?" ”

"I heard that the film has already reached post-production and editing, and I happened to have time this afternoon, so I thought I would come and have a look." As he spoke, Jung Hyuk-jae glanced at the screen on the table, and it seemed that the two were arguing because of this paragraph.

"There are not many places that need special effects production in the post-production, in fact, the most important thing is in the editing." Li Junyi said truthfully.

Film editing is a magical technique, and with a few 'scissors', the originally split and cracked footage seems to come to life.

Like a movie, film editing is also an art, if the director understands the screenwriter's intention and creates a world, then the editor undoubtedly understands the director's intention, shatters and rebuilds the world, but the director and the editor will inevitably have different concepts, such as this time.

Li Junyi has his own ideas, the editor also has his own plans, and no one can convince anyone, 'the public says that the public is reasonable, and the mother says that the mother is reasonable', not only Li Junyi and the editor Brother Zhao have a headache, but even Zheng Hyukjae, who has just been here for a while, feels a little headache.

I want to shoot a TV series at the beginning, and the final post-production is not so troublesome, most of the time it is Jung Hyuk-jae staring at the post-editing, and in the crew, Jung Hyuk-jae is the master of what he says, and there is really no time when he is as incompatible as Lee Jun-yi and the editor, after all, the editing work at that time was Jung Hyuk-jae's final say, and another reason is that it is a TV series, and this is a movie, and the two have completely different differences.

After all, the filming of TV series is filmed according to the number of episodes, and it will not be said that filming like a movie is so trivial, shoot this shot during the day, and shoot that shot at night, and just finished filming the beginning of the shot today, and the finale will be filmed the next day, this is the movie.

Because the picture is too trivial, so this time highlights the importance of the editor, although the director is at the helm of the film, but the filming process of the film is too complicated, it is inevitable that there will be omissions. Taken together, all the clips of "The King's Man" are nearly five hours, three hundred minutes, which is quite a lot of work.

There are causes and climaxes in writing, and there are also climaxes and endings in movies, and the flat and straightforward film structure does not attract the audience's attention at all. Just the first cut version of the movie is nearly 300 minutes, and even if the story is good, the patience of the audience will be worn out sooner or later after nearly five hours of viewing.

Modern films, especially commercial films, rarely exceed 120 minutes, and the total length of the film is generally about 10 to 120 minutes, and the first cut version of "The King's Man" has 300 minutes, which means that at least 180 minutes of footage need to be cut, which is quite a hard job for editors.

Three hundred minutes, every shot and picture in it was filmed by the director with great painstaking efforts, Li Junyi was naturally reluctant to cut, but for the sake of the length of the movie, it must be deleted, Li Junyi was reluctant to start, Li Junyi was reluctant, but the editor was used to being black, and he was the most willing one, so there was an endless argument between the two in front.

"Dangdang"

Looking at Zheng Hyuk-jae sitting in front of him, Li Junyi was just about to ask something, when he heard someone knock on the door and shout: "Mr. Li, Master Zhao, the takeaway has been delivered to you." ”

Hearing the words of his subordinates outside the door, a smile suddenly appeared on Li Junyi's face, and then he stood up and came to the door, opening the door, "Give me this." ”

"Brother Junyi, you haven't eaten yet, have you?" Jung Hyuk-jae said with some surprise.

Hearing Zheng Hyuk-jae's words, Li Junyi couldn't help but glance at him, isn't this nonsense, who wants to order takeout after eating!

Li Junyi didn't speak, but the editor Brother Zhao opened his mouth to explain, "Not to mention lunch, I haven't even been able to eat breakfast, and I haven't even drunk much saliva since morning." ”

Li Junyi handed him the fried noodles in his hand, handed over a pair of chopsticks by the way, opened the plastic wrap and poured the sauce into the bowl, and asked while stirring.

"Didn't you tell me to continue to let CJ Entertainment do the distribution of this film? How did you hear that your meaning had changed? ”

Hearing Lee Jun-ik's words, Jung Hyuk-jae opened his mouth to explain, in fact, this matter is also easy to explain, "The publisher has not changed, but there is one more agency publisher, and CJ Entertainment is also one of our publishers." ”

Hearing Jung Hyuk-jae say this, Lee Jun-ik was relieved, in fact, he was quite relieved to hand over the movie to CJ Entertainment for distribution, after all, CJ Entertainment has a big business and many publicity channels, so he only needs to promote the movie, and the final number of moviegoers must be the same, if the distributor is not CJ Entertainment, then Lee Jun-ik really thinks about it, in order to shoot this movie, Lee Jun-ik almost invested all the liquidity on the company's books, if the number of moviegoers is not ideal, This is a nerve-wracking experience for Cineworld Entertainment!

"In addition to CJ Entertainment, Lotte Entertainment is also the distributor of our films." Jung Hyuk-jae said. (To be continued......)
