Chapter 732: Mr. Cinderella
Japan's BittersEnd bought the broadcast rights of the movie "Mother" at a high price, and also undertook the reception of Bong Joon-ho and Hee-sung's trip to Japan.
The company, which has been working on film distribution for 15 years, explained: "'Mother' is director Bong Joon-ho's second film after 'Monster' and the first film starring K-pop star Hee-sung. It was these two points that led us to decide to introduce this film. ”
Last year, the film company invited Bong Joon-ho to make a movie, which received a good reputation, and when they bought the Japanese broadcast rights of "Mother" this year, the mother movie had not even been completed, but it was only promoted in the form of the Internet, and it was not even a trailer.
Relevant film and television companies in other countries and regions have also begun to contact HADES.
It can be said unequivocally that even if this movie does not have any box office, it will not lose money just by selling the broadcast rights.
Of course, with Xicheng's current vision and worth, this money really makes him excited.
The film is planned to be released worldwide, but it is impossible for Xicheng to run around the world to do publicity, he only went to six cities such as East Longitude, Xiangxiang, and Paris, and even if he completes his task, the total time is only a little more than half a month.
In May and June, the temperature in Seoul is not so high, and the green trees that once shaded half of the city are once again spreading their leafy leaves.
It was a bright early summer.
Dongdaemun is one of the most famous traditional markets in Seoul, with everything from small and trendy decorations to ginseng, utensils, clothing, toys, jewelry, and more, and in general, prices are cheaper than anywhere else, so it is always crowded with local city retailers and foreign tourists.
Here, Lim Yoon-a's new film "CindrellaMan" is being filmed.
Of course, it can also be called "Male Cinderella", "Mr. Cinderella" or "The Beggar Becomes a Prince", which is a completely bad TV series in Hee-sung's opinion.
Three water and wood dramas in the same period. KBS2TV's "That Fool" and SBSTV's "CityHall," which aired at the same time, received ratings of 12.3% and 15.8%, respectively, both significantly ahead of the single-digit ratings of "Mr. Cinderella."
Many people blame the female number one for the failure of the ratings, thinking that it was Lin Yuna of Girls' Generation who was involved in the TV series.
Actually, this is complete nonsense.
In the first half of 2009, Girls' Generation was completely against the sky, what TVXQ, SJ, and bigbang were all eclipsed under the glory of the girl group, and Lin Yuna, as the façade, is a figure who often makes headlines in major media.
Not to mention, Lin Yuna's "You Are My Destiny", which ended in January, reached an astonishing 40% of the ratings at the end. This is still under the influence of the Black Sea.
It's Kwon Sang-woo that is really the poison of ratings.
After becoming famous from "Stairway to Heaven", whether it was "Sad Love Song" in 05 or the TV series "Poison Love" starring in 07, the ratings were outrageous.
In addition, he married actor Son Tae-young in September 08, and the image of Cream Xiaosheng was greatly reduced.
He has more responsibilities.
The script is also not well written, not to mention clichés, and the character creation is also a failure.
Hee-sung came to visit the class.
My little girlfriend's career has been frustrated, so why don't I care about it as a boyfriend. He hadn't been alone with Yuna for nearly two months.
He was dressed in a very non-mainstream way, with colorful wigs and a realistic-looking beard, so no one recognized him. The staff also treated him as an extra, not paying attention.
When I came to the crew, the crew seemed very dull and seemed to have something unpleasant.
"The ratings are not good. Everyone is unhappy, but work is work, and I want to do my best. "Director Yoo Jung-jun is a short man in his thirties, he looks very decadent and speaks weakly.
Hee Sung has seen this person's information, he is a relatively new director, and he used to do more behind-the-scenes work.
"Yes, if the ratings are not good, none of us should think about it," screenwriter Zhao Yunying followed up and said: "What is it if you sacrifice some for the sake of ratings, in fact, who hasn't made a sacrifice, Sangwoo oppa's new son doesn't have time to accompany him, who has sacrificed more than him." ”
It seems that there are more than forty people who shout Xiangyu oppa so smoothly.
Seeing that Lin Yun'er was still silent, Kwon Sang-woo sighed and said: "In our line of work, we always have to sacrifice something, not to mention that it's just a kiss scene, I'm a family person, why should you be embarrassed." ”
Hee Sung narrowed his eyes, kiss scene?
Lin Yun'er frowned slightly, still shaking her head, "When I took this play, I said that I would not shoot kiss scenes and refuse any unacceptable intimate actions." ”
"Why don't you change at all," the screenwriter said angrily: "You go and see what the audience comments, they all say that the female number one acting is unnatural, just because you are also against it, and you are against it, Girls' Generation is amazing, but it's just a song that becomes popular." ”
"I'm really sorry," although she was aggrieved and angry, Lin Yuna still bowed and apologized.
Hee-sung turned sideways, leaned against the dark corner, and smiled silently.
It seems that he really doesn't care about his girlfriend, he doesn't know if he is wronged, and he even learned in recent days that Lin Yun'er has a new drama on her itinerary, and if he had known about it, he wouldn't have let her take this drama at all.
Rookie director, rookie screenwriter, plus an inexplicable Kwon Sang-woo, it's no wonder if he doesn't fail.
"We don't actually want to go too far," director Yoo Jung-jun didn't want to force this girl, after all, she was a member of the recently popular group, but thinking about the embarrassing ratings, he also said angrily: "If you still don't agree, I'll contact your agency directly." ”
"Why can't you shoot a kiss scene," Zhao Yunying slapped the table heavily, "Look at which actor hasn't filmed a kiss scene." ”
"Two, two, dissipate your anger," Kwon Sang-woo hurriedly stopped them, "Senior, is it possible to take a misplaced way, or just a slight touch." ”
Lin Yun'er stood there with a fragile expression.
She has actually sacrificed a lot of things in order to make this drama.
The screenwriter said that the long hair gives people a touching feeling, which is a little incongruous with the image of Xu Youzhen, who is backward in the family and plays a stubborn role in order to make money. In order to play this role well, Yuna endured the pain and cut her long hair short by 30 centimeters.
In order to concentrate on filming, Yoona minimizes the activities of Girls' Generation, which soared in popularity due to her participation in "GEE".
In order to play the role of a fashion designer, Yuna also had a 3-hour one-on-one study with fashion designer Cho Sung-kyung every day. The course covers designer-related skills such as how to sketch fashion designs and how to use a sewing machine.
It's really hard to say that there are many sacrifices.
"That's it, in the next episode, I'll design a scene for you, Girls' Generation Lin Yun'er's first kiss on the screen, it must be a very good gimmick, maybe it will save our TV series," the screenwriter's fat face bloomed with a smile, and it seemed that it had been finalized.
