Chapter 214: To Japan
"Ye Zhen Xi, it's time to go out for an interview with reporters!"
After fiddling with the makeup and styling, the makeup artist gently pushed her shoulders and whispered in Son Ye-jin's ear.
Feeling the touch on her shoulder, Son Ye-jin immediately woke up from her sleep and smiled embarrassedly at the makeup artist, "Did I fall asleep just now?" ”
"Not only did I fall asleep, but I slept soundly!" The corners of the makeup artist's mouth were lightly raised, and there was a hint of teasing in her words.
"I've been busy with the promotion of "Going Out" for the past few days, and I haven't been able to take a good rest for a week!" Son Ye-jin sat up straight, took out a wet towel from the table, gently wiped the corners of her eyes, and explained.
"You're too tired like this, you should take a break when it's time to rest, after all, people are not machines, where can they run like machines, and even if the machine is supposed to rest, it will stop and put on some oil or something, and your body will get sick sooner or later if you abuse your body like this!"
Saying that, the makeup artist sister, who is seven or eight years older than Son Ye-jin, said kindly: "It's still the same sentence I told you, you have to learn to take a break when it's time to rest, like going out shopping, traveling or something is very good!" ”
"I know, I know!" For this sister, Son Ye-jin felt quite a headache, this sister is good at everything, she just preaches when she gets the opportunity, and now she hits her gun, thinking of this, Son Ye-jin immediately lowered her head and made a serious appearance.
"Alright, alright! I won't say anything, how about you look at this hairstyle and makeup? I'll change what I don't feel right for, and if you can, you should go out for an interview! ”
It may be that she also felt that her words were a little too much, and the makeup artist showed Son Ye-jin her results, and Son Ye-jin, who was already naturally beautiful, became more beautiful and moving under the skillful hands of the makeup artist. No wonder people say 'there are no ugly women, only women who are too lazy to put on makeup'!
"Ernie, thank you!" Son Ye-jin looked at herself in the glasses through the mirror, turned her head and smiled and said to her makeup artist.
"Say thank you, go ahead, the group of reporters outside should be in a hurry!"
Son Ye-jin nodded, and then she got up, wearing a beige slim pleated dress, showing her ladylike temperament and a pair of smiling eyes. In addition, the pure appearance is very attractive to people's eyes.
Although the domestic results are not particularly ideal, but the publicity still needs to be promoted, after all, the early investment has been invested, and Son Ye-jin's interview with media reporters this time is a routine formula propaganda activity.
On the actor's contract for this movie, in addition to indicating that there is salary and time, how many times the actor should participate in the promotion of the movie, these are clearly written on it in black and white, and one less time can be regarded as a breach of contract.
Today's interview with media reporters is in a studio in Yangchuan District. In addition to being interviewed by these media, Son Ye-jin also needs to take a cover photo for the next issue of a magazine, which is not an easy job.
The reporter who had been waiting in the studio for a long time saw the visitor. A pair of eyes suddenly had a spirit, and waved to the goddess who was walking towards him, and everyone said in unison: "Son Ye-jin xi, hello!" ”
"Hello!" Son Ye-jin nodded in response.
Among the reporters, there were several male reporters whose faces were already full of wrinkles with a smile. It seems that he is afraid that others will not know that he is a fan of Son Ye-jin.
"Son Ye-jin xi, may I ask what moved you the most about participating in "Going Out"?"
I saw Son Ye-jin sitting on the sofa that had been prepared a long time ago. The group of reporters immediately asked, fearing that they would be saved for last.
"The relationship of the director. I have always wanted to work with director Xu Qinhao, the way of working of director Xu Qinhao is different from my previous one, I used to prepare a lot of work before making movies, but Director Xu is different, I want to learn different ways of working from him. ”
Hearing this reporter ask, Son Ye-jin smiled slightly at the corner of her mouth, and then said calmly. How to say that it has been four or five years since his debut, there is no pressure at all in the face of problems like this, and Son Ye-jin can easily resolve them.
"Son Ye-jin xi, which scene in the play "Going Out" challenged you the most?"
"What?" Hearing this, Son Ye-jin was stunned at first, and then replied with a smile: "Actually, it's not every scene, but every picture, "Going Out" as a whole is difficult for me, the life and ideas of the heroine are a difficult thing for me, and it is a very hard and difficult process to learn the director's methods." ”
"So, Son Ye-jin, how did you overcome it in the process?" One question followed by the next's question, leaving no time for her to think in detail.
"The way I used to work was to prepare for the role in advance, but now it's different, the director will limit what the character has to do on the spot, and there are a lot of changes. However, in this process, Director Xu Qinhao gave me something, and I suddenly felt different, and the emotions and feelings that I didn't expect came out. I thought it was hard work at first, but then I found it very interesting, and it was a good feeling. ”
"After the movie "Eraser in My Mind", because the movie became popular in Asia, some people say that you are a representative of the new generation of Hallyu, what do you think of this?" The reporter's mouth has always been half listened to and half left, just like this sentence, if he really wants to dig a pit, Son Ye-jin may not be able to fight the power of the masses.
"I've never been afraid of being compared to others, although my debut time is still short, but as a newcomer, I will do my best to let the audience have a better understanding of me!"
After listening to Son Ye-jin's answer, some of the reporters in this group raised their hands, and when they saw Son Ye-jin clicking on themselves, they couldn't help but show a hint of joy on their faces.
"Son Ye-jin xi, are there any other movies this year after the movie "Going Out"? For example, movies, TV dramas, and so on. ”
"In terms of movies, there is still a movie to be released at the end of the year, and I have been busy with the filming of the last few parts of the movie recently, and it is estimated that I will be able to meet you in two months, as for the TV series, there are no plans in this regard for the time being." Speaking of which. Son Ye-jin smiled embarrassedly.
Each company has a different artist path plan for its own artists, just like Lin Xiujing's agency plans for her, that is, movies, movies, movies, "I'm sorry, I love you" has never taken over the script of the TV series since the TV series, and Son Ye-jin has also taken such a path.
"Son Ye-jin xi, if you have a good TV drama script in the future and want to shoot a TV series, do you have a director you want to work with?" A reporter next to him raised his hand and said.
"Director" Son Ye-jin was stunned for a second, and immediately reacted. Hearing the reporter's question, Son Ye-jin's mind didn't know why he remembered the guy on the cover of that magazine, because he had watched "I'm Sorry, I Love You" directed by him, and he didn't have any resistance to a TV series like this at all.
"Jung Hyuk Jae xi, Jung PD!"
Hearing Son Ye-jin's answer, the reporters were involuntarily stunned for a few seconds, but they didn't expect Son Ye-jin's answer to be him.
"Why?"
"I like Zheng PD's handling of the rhythm of the TV series and the final picture shown on TV, in my opinion. Every frame captured in this way can almost be used as a desktop! ”
With "Welcome to Dongmo Village" nominated for the Oscar for Best Foreign Language Film, although the box office results in the latest week are not as good as the previous week, the attendance rate and the number of screens have increased to a certain extent, and it seems that the theaters and theaters are quite accurate. The unanimous recognition of the film's achievements will definitely be a big surprise.
On September 24, the 48th day after the official release of "Welcome to Dongmo Village", the number of moviegoers officially exceeded 8 million.
Although the attendance rate of the movie has reached about 40% by this time, the potential of the movie is still there. It shouldn't be much of a problem to sprint to tens of millions of moviegoers. The theater chain is naturally ready to squeeze out the final little benefit of the film.
As a benchmark film in the Korean film industry this year, Park Kwang-hyun, as a director, has attracted a lot of attention in the industry, as a new film director. Several well-known film production companies in the industry have come to the door, with the momentum of 'you can shoot whatever you say', and Park Kwang-hyun asked for all the conditions.
He was used to being poor before, and was taken aback by this group of wealthy local tyrant bosses.
The results of "Welcome to Dongmo Village" in South Korea are getting better and better, which naturally attracts the attention of film distribution companies in Asian countries, especially when the number of viewers of "Welcome to Dongmo Village" exceeds 8 million, film distribution companies in Japan, Singapore and other countries have called to ask whether the overseas rights of the film have been sold.
There are two main options for the sale of overseas copyrights, one is a one-time buyout, that is, the film is given by the distribution company to buy out the broadcast rights of a certain country, and the profits generated by the film have nothing to do with the production company of the film; The other is box office sharing, that is to say, the film will be handed over to the distribution company of a certain country to promote the screening, and after the film is broadcast, the final income will be redistributed with the distribution company, theaters, and theaters, which is a risky way to share, after all, no one knows how their films will react abroad.
If you don't have confidence, most people will choose the first distribution method, although their income is much less, but everyone knows very well that if the second one is not operated well, it is better to choose the first one directly, after all, the ethereal results are far less than the real money in hand.
"So, do you want me to go to Japan?" Jung Hyuk-jae glanced at the two-day-old ticket in his hand, although Park Kwang-hyun hadn't made it clear what it was for, but Jung Hyuk-jae had already understood that it must be for the box office share.
"Japan's Toho Distribution Company is going to introduce our films, and I have some things to do tomorrow on the Foundation's side, so I can't go. But I think you're more familiar with Hisaishi, and I believe there should be no problem going to Japan this time, and I'll leave the sharing and signing over there to you! Park Kwang-hyun said very seriously.
When the number of moviegoers of "Welcome to Dongmo Village" exceeded 5 million, Park Kwang-hyun, who suddenly became famous in the film industry, accepted the appointment of the "Dream Booster Fund", became a member of the fund's review committee, and appeared in front of the public as a "dream ambassador".
The "Dream Booster Fund" will select five ordinary people in Korea through the online video grand prix and provide financial sponsorship to realize their dreams.
The movie "Welcome to Dongmo Village" was born in the Korean film industry, and Park Kwang-hyun, who shocked many filmmakers, was actually not wealthy, because of family difficulties, he suffered a lot on the way to pursue his film dream, and then devoted himself to the advertising industry similar to the film industry. Park Kwang-hyun, who never gave up on his dream of filming, gained a lot of experience through shooting commercials, which also allowed him to finally make a splash with "Welcome to Dongmo Village", showing surprising sophistication and coaching ability.
In fact, this activity is similar to the activity of Lotte Film and Television to make any college student movies, except that this one is for ordinary people, while Lotte Film and Television is for college students in film schools.
Although he had only recently heard about this dream foundation, Jung Hyuk-jae knew the identity of the person behind this foundation, and behind this foundation was the shadow of CJ.E&M.
So don't look at CJ.E&M on weekdays, but in fact, CJ.E&M's tentacles cover all aspects of people's entertainment life, if Jung Hyuk-jae has always been the goal, then CJ.E&M is definitely one of the goals he has been chasing against.
"Time is pressing!" Jung Hyuk-jae glanced at the time on the ticket, ten o'clock in the morning the day after tomorrow.
"It's a little tight!" Speaking of this, Park Guangxuan was also a little embarrassed, but he still nodded and said: "Although the time is a little tight, if the negotiation goes well, the stay over there should not be very long!" ”
"Okay, I got it!" Hearing this, Jung Hyuk-jae nodded. (To be continued......)
