Chapter 245: Equal Cooperation
"Hejae Xi, sit down!" Kim Jae-yeol, who was walking in front, opened the door of the private room and stretched out his hand to invite Jung Hyuk-jae to sit down, and the smile on his face couldn't stop it.
"Director Jin, you are so polite! You please! β
Standing in front of the door of the private room, the two of them humbly gave in for a while before coming in, and sat down in their respective seats, Kim Jae-yeol looked at Jung Hyuk-jae, who had not been seen in front of him for more than two months, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, the change is too great!
Of course, this change does not mean a change in Jung Hyuk-jae's appearance or other aspects, but a change in Jung Hyuk-jae's temperament or identity.
If MBC TV and Jung Hyuk Jae talked about cooperation before, there was a feeling of going up and down, then sitting here today, it was an equal dialogue between the two, and their identities were not bad.
With the explosion of viewers of "Welcome to Dongmo Village" before, the name of JHJFilm has also entered the eyes of the big guys in the circle, and everyone is curious about this newly rising new film production company.
Everyone is not only curious about the two companies JHJFilm and JHJ.Entertainment, but also Jung Hyuk-jae himself. From writer to director to producer, Jung Hyuk-jae has a bit of a time span in the past two years, and the two years have almost reached a level that others may not be able to achieve in more than ten years.
If "Welcome to Dongmo Village" has set an example for the film industry, then Jung Hyuk-jae is a role model for the younger generation of the entire director circle.
So when facing Jung Hyuk-jae, Kim Jae-yeol behaved very kindly, at least on the surface, although the young man in front of him was just twenty-six years old. But when sitting with him, Kim Jae-yeol felt that age was no longer the most important thing, what Kim Jae-yeol obviously felt was the maturity of the young man in front of him, the maturity that did not belong to his age.
"Hejae Xi, you can order food." Maybe I heard that Jung Hyuk-jae likes Chinese food before, and today Kim Jae-yeol took Jung Hyuk-jae to a Chinese restaurant. From the outside, the bright red lanterns stand out from afar.
"Then you're welcome." Jung Hyuk-jae took the menu and it seemed that because he had been here a few times before, Jung Hyuk-jae quickly picked out a few delicious dishes, and then handed over the menu again, "Director Kim, you can order it too!" β
"Then I'll see."
The two ordered the food and sat together while waiting for the waiter to bring it to them, chatting quietly. Kim Jae-yeol was the first to speak, "Hyuk Jae-xi, what have you been busy with lately?" With that, Kim Jae-yeol picked up the kettle on the table and poured a glass of water for himself and Jung Hyuk-jae's relatives, and then spoke.
"Lately?" Jung Hyuk-jae thought for a while, and then said: "I haven't been busy with anything lately, isn't "The King's Man" about to be released? Recently, I have been discussing with distribution agencies CJ Entertainment and Lotte Pictures about the promotion of the movie before its release, and the movie is about to be released. So I've been a bit busy lately! β
"CJ Entertainment? Rakuten Films? Hearing Jung Hyuk-jae say this, he was a little surprised where he was. He knows the name of CJ Entertainment, which is known as the 'aircraft carrier of the Korean entertainment industry'. M.Entertainment has to bow down, and CJ Entertainment's power is too terrifying.
As for the second name in Jung Hyuk Jae's mouth - Lotte Film and Television, although Kim Jae-yeol had not heard of the name of Lotte Film and Television before, he had heard of the name of 'Lotte'. And it's clear.
If CJ Entertainment is an aircraft carrier in the Korean entertainment industry, then Lotte Film and Television is definitely a new dark horse in the entertainment industry.
"Well, the plan for the publicity period has to be decided this morning. Otherwise, it will be close to the release by then, and the publicity plan has not yet been rolled out, and it will be a joke at that time! β
After listening to Jung Hyuk-jae's narration, Kim Jae-yeol nodded clearly, and had a deep understanding of what Jung Hyuk-jae said, in fact, not only Jung Hyuk-jae, but also a TV series is about to be broadcast, and the publicity plan is the top priority in the early stage of TV drama broadcasting.
After Jung Hyuk-jae picked up the teacup and took a sip of tea, he saw that there was not much water in Kim Jae-yeol's cup on the table, so he stood up and helped Kim Jae-yeol pour a cup, and said, "Director Kim, what are you here for this time?" β
Although the food has not yet come up, Jung Hyuk-jae still replied straight to the point, obviously curious about the reason why Kim Jae-yeol called him out this time.
Hearing Jung Hyuk-jae ask this, Kim Jae-yeol didn't hide it, in fact, he had to say it anyway, so it was better to explain it straightforwardly at this time.
"Actually, that's true." Kim Jae-yeol glanced at Jung Hyuk-jae, who was listening attentively to his speech in front of him, coughed slightly, and then said, "Hyuk-jae, I came to you this time mainly for the copyright matter?" β
"What copyright?" Jung Hyuk-jae felt a little unsure of what Kim Jae-yeol was saying.
Zheng Hyuk-jae owns the copyright in the two books he currently publishes, but these two books have already sold the right to adapt and shoot the TV series without exception, one book "Love at Harvard" has been adapted into "Harvard Love Story", and the other "My name is Kim Sam-soon" has also been adapted into a TV series of the same name, but the copyright of these two books has already been sold, or cooperated with other TV stations, and there are really no novels in his hands that have not yet sold the copyright.
Hearing Jung Hyuk-jae say this, he saw Kim Jae-yeol in front of him hurriedly waved his hand and shook his head and replied, "It's not the copyright of your novel, but the TV series adaptation right of a comic." β
"Comics?" Don't draw comics yourself? In addition to feeling a little incredible, the rest is more puzzled, what the hell is the 'comic' that Kim Jae-yeol is talking about?
Kim Jae-yeol didn't hesitate, but explained directly, "That's the case, Hek Jaexi, don't you have the TV series adaptation rights of "My Barbarian Princess" in your hands? What I'm here to talk about this comic? β
"My Savage Princess?" Hearing Kim Jae-yeol say this, Jung Hyuk-jae felt that the other party had mispronounced the name of the comic at first. But in a blink of an eye, Jung Hyuk-jae also reacted, what "My Barbarian Princess"? No wonder I felt extremely familiar when I heard Kim Jaeyeol say this just now, isn't this the TV series "Palace"?
I believe that the most familiar name for the audience is also another name of this TV series - "Palace"!
In fact, it's not just "My Savage Princess", but other well-known comic books or novels, as long as they have an impression. Zheng Hyuk-jae bought their TV series adaptation rights in advance, especially those who had an impression in the previous life, and Jung Hyuk-jae tried every means to buy them, don't look at them now, but in a few years, these are a lot of wealth.
"My Savage Princess" tells the modern story of the marriage between the prince and the commoner in the context of an overhead monarchy, and the TV series "Palace" in the previous life was starring Zhu Ji-hoon, Yoon Eun-hye, Kim Jeong-hoon, and Song Ji-hyo, and the ratings and response after the TV series broadcast were good. Especially the two people who play the male and female protagonists in the play, Zhu Jixun and Yoon Eun-hye, have gained a lot, especially Yoon Eun-hye, who has been a singer and actor since then, has been extremely successful, and in the next few years, he has opened up a sense of presence and various awards.
"It's this one!" Jung Hyuk-jae said with some emotion, in fact, if it wasn't for Kim Jae-yeol who came to find him and talked about this matter today, Jung Hyuk-jae himself might have forgotten about this matter, not that his memory is not good now, but that there have been too many things in the recent past. Jung Hyuk-jae didn't even think of this.
"How? The price is negotiable! Kim Jae-yeol said bluntly, and after speaking, his eyes were fixed on Jung Hyuk-jae. Looking at the look on his face a little nervously, he was looking forward to Jung Hyuk Jae's next words.
"Of course, the adaptation copyright of the TV series is no problem, after all, we have all cooperated a lot before." Jung Hyuk-jae picked up the water glass on the table and took a sip before saying with a smile.
Hearing Jung Hyuk-jae's words, Kim Jae-yeol also nodded, expressing his agreement with what he said, starting from "New Employee" to "My name is Kim Sam-soon". Let's not talk about the ratings of these two TV dramas, just the previous partnership between Jung Hyuk Jae and MBC TV is unusually close, and when it comes to the ratings of these two TV dramas, MBC TV is even more reluctant to lose such a young and excellent director PD.
"There is no problem with copyright, how about let's talk about cooperation?" Jung Hyuk-jae said bluntly. Without the slightest hesitation.
In fact, Kim Jae-yeol had already thought about this issue before he came, and 'cooperation' is usually followed by another word, 'win-win'. The 30% rating of "New Employee" and the 50% rating of "My Name is Kim Sam-soon" can already illustrate a problem, that is, Jung Hyuk-jae is handy for such TV series.
Before coming, Kim Jae-yeol had calculated an account well, that is, Jung Hyuk-jae's personal importance to MBC TV, on the surface, after the cooperation of "New Staff", MBC TV seemed to have suffered a loss, but in fact it made a lot of money.
If it weren't for the good cooperation and mutual benefit of "New Staff", Jung Hyuk-jae's "My Name is Kim Sam-soon" would not have chosen to cooperate with MBC TV at all, but what about the final result? I believe many of your viewers already know that if "My Name is Kim Sam-soon" at that time Jung Hyuk-jae chose to cooperate with other TV stations, then the final result came out, MBC TV didn't even have a place to cry, that was half of the national ratings!
"Cooperation? There is no problem with cooperation! Without the slightest hesitation, Kim Jae-yeol readily agreed.
Hearing Kim Jae-yeol agreeing so readily, Jung Hyuk-jae was a little surprised, but he didn't expect Kim Jae-yeol to be so bold that he had already determined his identity without even discussing it.
"Actually, I have the scripts, storyboards, scenes, and so on adapted from the comics." Jung Hyuk-jae explained.
Hearing Jung Hyuk-jae's words, Kim Jae-yeol's mouth couldn't close a little, is this considered a pie in the sky?
This time, the shooting time of the Mizuki drama is longer than that of several other TV dramas, but even so, the time is still not enough, and Kim Jae-yeol has already instructed his subordinates to save as much time as he can and free up enough time for the filming of the TV series.
Actually, before coming, Kim Jae-yeol had already thought about it, and the screenwriter in his heart almost had a foundation, but he didn't expect that he was about to sign a contract for cooperation, Jung Hyuk-jae gave such a big surprise, not only has the comic already been written into a script, but even the sub-shots and scene drawings are available, how much time can this save for the filming of the TV series?
Thinking of this, the smile on Kim Jae-yeol's face became even brighter, and his mood obviously became good
This Chinese restaurant is built right on the edge of a relatively prosperous street, and in addition to the food, there are more clothing stores and makeup shops nearby, and because of this, this street is also called 'Little East Gate' by many nearby residents.
Although it is not as prosperous and lively as Dongdaemun, there are many pedestrians who come here to shop on weekdays. And today it seems to be a little more lively, especially in front of the newly opened clothing store over there, the inner three floors and the outer three floors are full of pedestrians watching the excitement, one by one, sticking their heads, eager to grow more than ten centimeters taller.
After talking about cooperation, they came out of the Chinese restaurant, Jung Hyuk-jae and Kim Jae-yeol walked out talking and laughing, which was regarded as a meal after dinner, and seeing the lively scene not far away, Jung Hyuk-jae proposed to go over there to have a look, and Kim Jae-yeol, who was in a good mood, easily agreed.
When he came to the front, Jung Hyuk-jae found that this place was a little different from what he imagined, originally he thought that there were people dancing or singing here like Hongdae, and there were so many pedestrians gathered, but when he got closer, it was not the case at all, it turned out to be the opening event of a newly opened trendy clothing store, and he felt a little bored when he saw this.
"Let us now give you a round of applause."
Jung Hyuk-jae originally planned to leave, but when he saw the girl who appeared next, he took back the steps he had taken, and stood there staring at the woman on the stage (to be continued......
