Chapter 12 Getting Involved in the Film Industry

On Friday, it was agreed to talk about cooperation with Gao Zuodong of TuBe Entertainment, and Jang Dong-guk accompanied him again, while Kim Tae-hee was still glued to his back.

Jingle bells, the mobile phone rang, but the three people sitting in the car looked at each other as if they had a tacit understanding, and then they all smiled.

Lee Chung-hee took out his mobile phone from his pocket, connected it, and an unfamiliar voice came from there, "Hello, is it Writer Li from "Blue Life and Death Love"?" Excuse me, I'm Jung Hoon-tuo, director of SIDUS Entertainment, and if you have time, I'd like to invite you to a light ....... ”

Another call from the director of another brokerage company, Lee Chung-hee doesn't know how many such calls he has received in the past two days, all kinds of excuses for eating, drinking coffee, and entertainment in the club, one purpose is to recommend his artists to him, and I don't know who revealed his phone, but obviously, everyone knows his status in the crew of "Blue Life and Death Love".

Lee Chung-hee is also very helpless, but he can't ignore it, this is the most normal public relations method in this industry, a brokerage company, raising so many artists, although they are usually extremely exploitative, but in order to help their artists find various opportunities to appear, endorsements, commercial performances, etc., it is usually very hard.

However, he also knows that the choice of the main creators needs the nods of Park Dongzan and Yoon Seok-ho, and, most importantly, he doesn't want to cause accidents in directing this drama because of other factors, because this is related to the game, and this game is not a joke, and it may make him disappear in minutes.

Therefore, he always ended with "Thank you for your hospitality, the question of the choice of actors, mainly the decision of Minister Park and Director Yoon, of course, if there is a proper opportunity, I will propose to the above two!" "This way to refuse. And in such a way that is neither humble nor arrogant, no one can say anything.

Of course, excluding Kim Tae-hee, who loves to be savage with him in front of him, after he hung up the phone again, his shining eyes stared at him, obviously admiring his current appearance, but he wrinkled his nose and snorted: "Look at it, I'm proud again, it's just a writer......!" ”

If he was reborn, Lee Chung-hee would definitely fight for tat and make her crazy, but now he is just smiling, but he doesn't know that he also makes Kim Tae-hee crazy and even more depressed, and in the end he has no choice but to pinch the flesh on his leg to vent his anger.

Chungmuro is a well-known name, because it has a large number of film production companies, shooting venues, theaters, etc. in the Korean film industry, and has become synonymous with the Korean film industry and even the cultural world, and therefore, Korean filmmakers regard being born in Chungmuro as a kind of honor.

Today, TuBe Entertainment's Gao Zuodong asked them to talk about things at the 3rd Street here, which is also a gathering place for famous film industry companies.

"Hello," in the reception room of TuBe Entertainment, the tall and thin Gao Zuodong stretched out his hand to Lee Chung-hee and said with a smile: "Writer Lee is famous now, he must be very busy these days!" ”

This is not to satirize Lee Chung-hee and the fact that they have postponed meeting for two days, but to say that he knows about Lee Chung-hee and kBs' cooperation. It's not surprising that Seoul is so big and the circle of the entertainment industry is even smaller, which makes Ko Chok-dong more confident in Lee Chung-hee.

Then, after Lee Chung-hee's polite response, he pointed to a guy with glasses next to him and introduced: "This is director Ahn Bing-ki, speaking of which, he still liked your script and recommended it to me ......." ”

Ahn Bing-ki, of course Lee Chung-hee knows, this guy who will be known as the master of Asian horror films in the future, and the "Hand of Midas (Hand of Gold)" in the Korean horror film industry, is a very powerful character, not only is he very good at being a director, but he is also very good at being a producer, "Scandal" and "Sunshine Sisters" are all from his subordinates.

Lee Chung-hee even learned about this movie after getting the position of screenwriter of "Curse" rewarded by the game, and he also knew that if there was no game to forcibly intervene, the screenwriter of this movie would actually be An Bingji himself, perhaps, it is not surprising that this guy would like this script.

"Hello, Director An Bingji, it's an honor to meet you!" Lee Chung-hee greeted him very politely, "Thank you for your love for this script, please advise me in the future!" ”

Then, at the same time, he also introduced Jang Dong-guk and Kim Tae-hee beside him, and this time, he did not say that Kim Tae-hee was his cousin.

"Imperial Entertainment!" Gao Zuodong was also obviously stunned when he heard this name, "Is it the Star Empire Entertainment Company?" ”

Lee Chung-hee and Jang Dong-guk had the urge to roll their eyes at the same time, and this problem only appeared after they appeared, but neither of them wanted to change it.

"No, it's Imperial Entertainment!" Zhang Dongguo smiled, handed over the business card, and said half-truthfully: "We are a new company that has just opened, but we are confident that we will make everyone think of us for the first time in the future!" ”

Gao Zuodong naturally didn't care too much about this kind of words, and after the initial greetings, they started the topic, and first finalized the script, which is the tone and style.

This is something that must be considered before signing a contract, if the two parties are not consistent, then one party has to make concessions, either change the script, or the producer will follow the screenwriter's intentions, and only when both parties are satisfied, will the contract be officially signed.

However, this is not a TV series, but a movie, and in most cases, the screenwriter changes the script according to the intentions of the production company and the director, or even according to the requirements of the invited big-name stars, which is the difference between Korean movies and TV dramas, or in other words, the difference in the status of Korean TV screenwriters and movie screenwriters.

"Resentment and being a thief are the keynote of the film, and they are also the themes that are implemented from beginning to end, and all the plots in the script, except for a few slightly weird scenes, are more scenes of daily life, and then through the activities of the inner world of guò people to exaggerate panic, to the ......point of collapse and madness."

Lee Chung-hee has carefully studied this script and this movie, and he roughly understands Ahn Bingji's intentions, but he also points to the point, after all, his professionalism is still limited, so he finally said: "As for the choice of cinematography, makeup, lighting, soundtrack, how to arrange the scenes, if the scenes and the actors' performances are used to render panic, this, I think the director is more than me!" ”

Ahn Bing-gi and Ko Chok-dong both laughed, although Lee Chung-hee didn't talk much, he captured the tone of the movie very well, and also cleverly pointed out the importance of being a horror movie, photography, makeup, lighting, and soundtrack, which are the most important means to render panic.

Obviously, Lee Chung-hee, a little genius who has already shown his value in the cooperation with kBs, is not in vain.

At this time, Gao Zuodong glanced at An Bingji, who nodded and said: "Well, Writer Li's opinion is similar to mine, our movie is to stimulate people's hearts and generate irrepressible fear from the inside out, and this does not need too many weird scenes like other horror films, but uses the pictures closest to our daily life, which is more conducive to the audience's sense ......of immersion in watching the movie." ”

The keynote is that in daily life, the inner activities of the people include the deepest doubts, resentments, and panics in the human heart, which produce hysterical superficial behavior, and then lead to a series of evil consequences. This is the most basic structure of "Curse".

As for the specific plot, the selection of the main creators, the selection of scenes, the sub-shots, etc., that is something to be considered in the future, and now, it is just a matter of completing the preliminary preparation of the script.

"Well, I think we can talk about the specific conditions of cooperation!" After Ahn Bingji and Lee Chung-hee shared the same philosophy, and Gao Zuodong was also very satisfied with it, it was natural to negotiate a specific contract.

This time, Zhang Dongguo was even more direct, just politely looked at the contract handed over by Gao Zuodong, put it aside first, and then said slowly: "Forgive me for taking the liberty of it, Director Gao, I want to ask, I don't know if you have heard that the contract we signed with kBs before is not ......." ”

Gao Zuodong knew that Jang Dong-guk was not satisfied with the salary of 5 million won they offered, and the price of a movie's script was naturally much higher than the price of a TV series, and the 5 million was naturally not high, or even the lowest price in the movie script.

However, Lee Chung-hee is still a rookie, even if he and kBs start to cooperate, he is still a rookie, because he has not made any achievements yet, and this price is only a preliminary increase, so everyone naturally wants you to come and go.

"That's not news anymore," Gao Zuodong smiled, and then deliberately turned his head to look at Lee Chung-hee, "Actually, I'm curious if this is the idea of a Harvard economics doctor......." ”

Hearing him say this suddenly, Lee Chung-hee also chuckled, then glanced at Zhang Dongguo before shrugging his shoulders and half-truthfully: "Well, there are some, I talked about related things when I signed a contract with Director Zhang,"

Gao Zuodong had such an expression and raised his eyebrows, "It seems that you are full of confidence in yourself!" ”

"Well, how to say, before doing things, having confidence in yourself is the most basic," Lee Chung-hee shrugged, moved his body, and changed to a comfortable position, "Then, I think this is also conducive to motivating myself to do things better, and at the same time, this is undoubtedly the best plan ......for the interests of both parties." ”

Regardless of whether Gao Zuodong agreed with it in his heart or not, he did not refute it, but turned his head to look at Zhang Dongguo, and Zhang Dongguo immediately said the conditions, "It's very simple, we use the profit and loss point of this movie as the base point, below the profit and loss point, we don't want a penny of remuneration, on the contrary, if the profit and loss point is less than 100,000 people, we want to reach 5 percent of the box office after the profit and loss point, 100,000 to 300,000 percent, we want 10 percent, 300,000 to 500,000, 15 percent, and so on, cap 30 percent...... Finally, we want 5% ...... of the revenue from other banking channels such as dVd. ”
