"Batman Begins 2: Night Knight", which has swept the world, has not affected South Korea at present, and Batman will fly to South Korea for premiere on August 7.
"Batman Prequel 2: The Night Knight" can be said to be the biggest rival of "Three Guys" in the near future, but the 20-day gap between the two films has left enough market for "Three Guys".
The other main competitors are also more or less weak in the middle and late stages, and cannot pose any threat to "Three Guys", and the producers are aiming for this short gap.
Commercial films are made to make money, so even if many Korean filmmakers are clamoring that "Three Guys" has an obligation to protect the local market from being occupied by Hollywood blockbusters, the filmmakers will not be stupid enough to go head-to-head with this crazy Hollywood superhero blockbuster.
As for the so-called "Three Guys" should be postponed and the remarks about "Batman Prequel 2: Night Knight", the actors, including Lin Youming, and Kim Zhiyun's crew, directly chose to ignore it, and it is not this rhythm that they want to find death.
It is precisely because Batman was avoided in advance that at present, it seems that the box office of "Three Guys" can be regarded as bright on the way to a higher number or even 10 million, and it is not too difficult to live in the top ten of the Korean movie box office list, because the box office of "Three Guys" in one week is equivalent to the box office of other movies.
Every time Lin Youlu thinks that "Three Guys" won so many box offices as "My Father" that he worked so hard to shoot in a week, he will always unconsciously feel a strange feeling in his heart.
In the second week of box office predictions. "Three Guys" is still popular and unstoppable, and the only question is where the box office ceiling will be. Although "The King's Man" director Li Junyi's new work "Lang in the Distance" will be released on July 24, the starring lineup lacks first-line stars, and the theme is relatively tepid
When the audience rushed to watch "Three Guys", "Jiang Zhezhong: Public Enemy 1-1" (also known as "Public Enemy 3"), which was released on June 19, finally slipped to the edge of the Top 5 a month after the battle line was opened. It can also be seen from the gradual decline in box office growth that there will be no major movements in "Jiang Zhezhong: Public Enemy 1-1" in the next few weeks.
The reason why this movie is mentioned is because of the starring role of "Jiang Zhezhong: Public Enemy 1-1". is another national actor in the Korean troika, alongside Song Kang-ho - Xue Jingqiu.
After "The Best Moment of My Life" and "The Chaser", "Kang Cheol-jung: Public Enemy 1-1" also became the third Korean local film to exceed 4 million viewers this year, which is enough for a perfect curtain call.
Director Kang Woo-seok's directing skills and screenwriter Jang Jin's comedic elements are indispensable for injecting a new style into the film. But as the starring Xue Jingqiu. Strong acting strength and box office appeal, as well as the tacit understanding established with the director in the first two films, he is another major contributor to the box office.
The box office of 4 million is an extremely high threshold for most actors, but for people like Xue Jingqiu and Song Kanghao, this is just an average.
………………
At this time, the issue of Lin Youming's sideline investment has almost been settled. After helping Lin Youming deal with the financial problems, Zheng Yawen began to really consider what kind of side business she should find for Lin Youmeng to invest.
In fact. Many artists have the habit of investing their own money, which is not unusual, after having an idea, Zheng Yawen brought Lin Youming, Quan Encan and Liang Wentao back and discussed them together.
Artist is a gorgeous profession, but if you are not careful, you will stop after experiencing a moment of glory, and if your popularity declines, the so-called gorgeousness is also easy to decline, which is why artists pay more attention to financial management.
Originally, Zheng Yawen wanted to help Lin Youmeng find some financial investment, but after researching it, she found that South Korea didn't seem to be very suitable for this method and was outdated.
In the past, artists mainly focused on financial aspects such as savings and stock investment, but since the financial crisis in 1998 swept through the 21st century, there has been a significant increase in the number of artists who are engaged in side hustles.
When Zheng Yawen started to make this plan, the first thing she did was to ask Quan Enchan to do all kinds of investigations and collect information.
According to Kwon Eun-chan's survey results, there are only a few types of side hustles among artists, but when Lin Youyang saw this list, he couldn't help but be surprised.
In first place is the clothing industry, followed by restaurants, coffee shops, bars, cosmetics industry, racing ......
"So much?" Lin Youmian asked curiously.
"Is it a lot? So-so. Zheng Yawen replied.
"Racing? Can this also be used as a side hustle? Lin Youyan couldn't help but be embarrassed, and secretly sighed that his vision was too narrow!
In fact, the business projects in this are indeed what many artists like to operate, and the well-connected artists are engaged in side businesses such as restaurants, bars, and coffee shops, which is the use of the psychology of people who like to go to restaurants and bars that artists often go to.
Kang Ho-dong's barbecue restaurant "Kang Ho-dong 678" and Leessang's restaurant are typical examples, and the franchise barbecue restaurant "Honeycomb Pork Belly" run by comedian Lee Seung-hwan has annual sales of 20 billion won, which is an example of the exchange of jobs and side jobs.
The second most popular is the café run by artists to communicate naturally with their fellow performers and fans, and it is a space where you can have a comfortable conversation with your peers and fans, as well as a space for music creation and thinking about scripts.
At the same time, because it is your own store, privacy and free space can be protected to the greatest extent, you don't have to worry about being disturbed by the media or fans, you can also use it to receive your friends, and even if you want to go on a date secretly, enter through the back door of your own store, and then go to the box, which is definitely more suitable than hiding in the nanny car when some celebrities secretly fall in love.
If you make money, this kind of local profit is not very much, but with the fame of the artist, it can still maintain relative stability, which is a good way.
Of course, there are also some artists who will make money by using their beauty knowledge more flexibly, that is, they will invest in the cosmetics industry, and although most artists choose to work together with professional cosmetics companies to engage in the cosmetics business, there are also those who apply their beauty knowledge to product development and actively carry out marketing activities and expand their business.
Typical examples are Kim Young-ae, whose annual sales of Chamtowon, a company specializing in loess masks, have reached more than 30 billion won, and the sales of He Youmi's mask launched by another artist, He Youmei, have also reached 100 billion won in three years, which is much more than what they make by starring in film and television dramas and making commercials.
And some of the more famous male stars, such as Kwon Sang-woo of NaturalTears and Jung Woo-sung of MonsieurJ, are also attracting women by pursuing a career in cosmetics.
Koreans love beauty, and the cosmetics consumed in this country every year have reached a jaw-dropping level, regardless of men and women, clean up makeup before going out, that is basic etiquette, and it is not allowed to be sloppy at all, otherwise it will be considered disrespectful.
South Korea's cosmetics sales are an extremely large market, and even if it is just a small piece of the pie, it will benefit immensely.
Male stars and artists can also operate in this industry, because the annual sales of men's cosmetics here are not much higher than those of women, and male stars can also attract many female fans to patronize with their charm.
There is also a very special side hustle, which is racing cars, which cannot be used to earn income, but can earn tens to hundreds of millions of won by attracting sponsors of cars and sportswear, and it will be easier to attract sponsors if the artist becomes a racing driver and has a certain strength.
