751: Emerging tycoon in the Korean film and television industry (fifth update)

Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.

A film that does not invest more than 1.7 billion won in South Korea is considered a low-budget film – the standard is about the same as in China. There are not many movies with low input costs and high returns. However, it is still very rare for a movie with such a low investment cost and such a high return on investment ratio like "Sunshine Sisters".

Calculating the difference between the two, a rough estimate can almost reach 1:250 Cheng dù.

Phantom, a newly established film company, has released three consecutive films in South Korea, all of which have achieved both word-of-mouth and box office success, showing vigorous vitality and super production ability, and it is impossible not to attract attention.

Attention is a good thing, and those who do the entertainment industry are afraid that there will be no attention.

The more media attention, the more they earn.

After the reorganization of South Korea's CJ Group, it has not yet come to make a rapid effort, and the rise of Phantom Korea has been unstoppable. With the hot release of the movie, Jessica and other girls have also become the most popular "idols" nowadays, and they frequently attend the scene of major variety shows, which is not lively.

The movie is making money again, and Li Donglai, as the boss, is also very happy. After discussing with the company's management, I planned to put the film in the United States to test the waters. But you can't expect too much, "Speeding Scandal" was also released in China, and even won the award at the Shanghai International Film Festival, but it still had a dismal box office, as evidenced by this.

No matter how many Koreans are Americans, there are no more Chinese-Americans, and it is difficult for countless Chinese films to enter the Hollywood market, let alone Korean films? But if there is money to be made, it must be earned, which is the essence of a businessman. The comedy effect of this film is obvious, if you don't make a handful of dollars, wouldn't the distribution system that the company has spent a lot of effort to set up become an ornament?

The Korean company was naturally very happy, and An Shuzhen immediately announced the news to the outside world, ""Sunshine Sisters" has decided to start showing in Los Angeles and Torrance in the United States on September 22, and will be released in nine cities including New York, New Jersey, and Chicago from 29rì. ”

Peers once again expressed jealousy, envy and hatred, it was so easy to release in North America, and there was nothing more tempting than this.

In addition to the strong box office of "Sunshine Sisters", several other films waiting to be released cannot be ignored. At the end of August, after the trailer of the historical action film "The Strongest Weapon: Bow" released by "Sunshine Sisters" was broadcast. It has aroused the attention of the industry. Coupled with the excellent reputation of the Phantom of Korea without a single defeat so far, the expectations of Yahoo Korea's movie have also been raised again.

When the operation of the Korean company was in full swing, Lee Dong-rae called Son Ye-jin, "Sister Ye-jin, are you nervous?" ”

"What's there to be nervous about?" Son Ye-jin pretended to be bland.

"October 20 rì, "Fighting Boys. Wande is about to be released, aren't you nervous? ”

The movie "Fighting Boy, Wande" is also based on the original book, which was released in 2008 and has sold 700,000 copies so far, setting a proud record in the small world. At the same time, the original work was also adapted into a play. The drama work also set a record of 8 additional performances, and it is an out-and-out popular work.

In the film, Kim Yoon-seok plays the hot-blooded and humane high school teacher "Dong-so", which is also the first time he has played the frontal role Sè since the famous Korean movie "Lao Qian", after playing the opposite role in "Chaser", "Turtle Run", "Tian Yuzhi" and "Yellow Sea" and other works, and his screen transformation is worth looking forward to.

"Don't be nervous, it's already like this anyway. It's no use being nervous. ”

Li Donglai was stunned, "Oh, since that's the case, then I don't have anything good." ”

"Hey! Wait, don't hang ......."

Son Ye-jin shouted out in a hurry. She just pretended to be calm, who would have thought that Li Donglai would hang up the phone like this, "Ah, Li Donglai, you hung up the phone like this?!" ”

"Hey, hey!" Half a day. Li Donglai's evil laughter sounded in his ears again, which made Son Ye-jin breathe a sigh of relief, but also annoyed that he was hung out of his heart by Li Donglai, "When will you go back to South Korea, I'm still waiting for you to help me refer to it, see what is not suitable, what needs to be modified?" ”

Li Donglai said with a smile: "I have signed the film for inspection." Do you think there are still problems? ”

"Hmm." Son Ye-jin nodded and said: "But I watched it repeatedly, and I felt that if it was released like this, I am afraid that it would not be as good as the box office of "Sunshine Sisters", and the box office of Tai Xi Oni's movie was too hot." What am I going to do? ”

Li Donglai was sorry for it, and he didn't compete yet, but after the movie was released, he began to be anxious. Women are like that, duplicity.

"Sister Yizhen, Sister Tae-hee's movie is a good box office and the last movie is a big hit, don't care too much. And I'm still recording an album, so I'm afraid I don't have time. ”

Son Ye-jin was disappointed, "Don't you have time?" Forget it......"

Li Donglai couldn't bear it, and he said with a whim: "Why don't you bring the negatives to the United States, and let's refer to them together?" ”

Son Ye-jin: "......"

Along with "Fighting Boy, Wande" in October, there is also a film adaptation of the same name by South Korean writer Kong Zhiyong's "Melting Pot". Xiaoben is unknown, and after the Phantom announced that it would be brought to the big screen, it quickly became popular on major websites. And within a few months of the start of filming, it was serialized on the Korean portal DAUM, with a hit-rate of more than 16 million people, setting a record for online serialization hits.

After the small release of a single book, it also followed this trend and appeared on this year's book sales list in one fell swoop, attracting much attention. Some human rights groups have also launched relevant investigations into the phenomenon reflected by Xiaozhong, which has aroused great social repercussions, and even alarmed the relevant zhèngfǔ institutions in South Korea, which attach great importance to them.

The influence is so great that it even surpasses the little "Fighting Boy, Wande".

This is all the changes brought about by the small to be put on the big screen, and the writer Kong Zhiyong has made a great harvest at the same time, but also successfully made his works attract the attention of the majority of people in society. And the Phantom has also received the attention it wants, and it can be said that each has its own place.

After Phantom bought the adaptation rights of the play, with the cooperation of many efforts, the crew of "The Crucible" was established, and finally chose to be directed by South Korea's cutting-edge director Hwang Dong-hyuk. Hwang Dong-hyuk's previous more successful work was "My Father" starring mixed-race star Daniel. "My Father" is also based on real events, so it will be a valuable experience to shoot such a movie again.

"Although there has been a legal verdict on the incident in the film, the social verdict has not yet ended, and it is far from being possible." An Shuzhen represents the phantom's righteous words.

Another reason for her confidence is that in South Korea, films based on real events such as "Memories of Murder", "Children" and "That Guy's Voice" have achieved good results, not only commercially profitable, but also immeasurable social benefits, which can be described as a win-win situation.

Similarly, this film was also filmed with an award-winning mentality, and the box office was only second.

Compared with the successive booking schedules of several small-budget films, the other one is dominated by Phantom, directed by the famous Korean director Bong Joon-ho, co-produced by South Korea and France, and adapted from the original French science fiction comic book of the same name, which won the 1986 Ungram International Comics Festival Award, "Snowpiercer", which is not so fast. The film is still being filmed, and the post-production of special effects will also be taken to the American company, and it is expected that it will not be able to meet the audience until next year.

Lee Dong-rae originally proposed to let the film take the 3D route, but Bong Joon-ho said: This is his first time directing a pure English-language film, and 80% of the actors in the film are from English-speaking countries, and the investment has reached 300-40 billion won, which makes the pressure on his shoulders also heavy, and every qiē is a blank sheet of paper, and he needs to learn all over again.

In the end, he still preferred to use the traditional shooting method for the filming method, and finally chose to stick to the 35mm position.

Li Donglai expressed his understanding of this, but he still integrated the technology of the American company into the content, hoping to shoot a classic.

This is an English-language film, with the distribution system gradually cultivated by Phantom, as long as the movie is not too bad, it is enough to be released in many countries and regions around the world, and he is not worried about losing money.

The work of the Korean Phantom Company is gratifying, and Lee Dong-rae is also like a cutting-edge tycoon in the Korean film and television industry, and his influence is getting bigger and bigger.

Not only is the watch on the movie, but also on the variety show "Running-Man", the ratings are steaming, and the popularity of the Asia-Pacific overseas is not for the time being. The only regret is that there is not much achievement in TV dramas, and the company has expanded, and next year it may be necessary to cooperate with the three major TV stations to develop TV dramas.

Compared with the almost blowout rapid development of South Korea's phantom, China's phantom has some trend of not moving, but Li Donglai is not worried at all, China's huge market is not comparable to South Korea, and at this stage it is firmly grounded, and all the frameworks that large companies should have are built, and when the east wind rises, it will soar to the sky with the help of the eruption of potential.

Actually, it's not worrying, and it's not real. Take a look at this year's annual box office rankings, it is estimated that there are a large number of Hollywood films dominating the top five or more.

Let's take a look at the domestic works at the top of the current list, the No. 1 domestic film "The Great Cause of the Founding of the Party" has a box office of 400 million, but it ranks fourth in the current total box office list, not to mention it.

followed by "New Shaolin Temple Domestic Film" is currently No. 2, but ranks No. 10 in the total box office list, and the rest are all Hollywood films. This situation is much worse than that of Korean films, who can at least occupy the majority of the annual rankings.

Don't think that Liu Dehua will not act in bad movies when he is old and mature, his speed of frequently receiving bad movies has lost all the praise accumulated in "Inception".

The more you act, the more rotten it is, it really fills your pockets and pollutes the audience's eyes.
