Chapter 385: Film Company (First Monthly Pass)
However, anyone with a discerning eye can feel that this hades is definitely not as simple as people think.
In the past few decades, although the Namsan fund has often made investment mistakes, there is absolutely no time to faint, and the head of the fund, Li Qingzhe, is known as the Asian monkey, and he eats with those sharp eyes.
The most notable example was the large-scale acquisition of a stake in the flaggerating Apple from the retail market at the turn of the millennium, which subsequently granted Steve Jobs 10 million shares of Apple, worth $870 million at the time.
Although the public knows nothing, within the industry, this investment has caused quite a stir, and many people think that this yellow-skinned monkey is crazy.
However, in the following years, especially after 03, Apple has grown by leaps and bounds, and the stock price has continued to rise, and people have to admit that this monkey has become a sperm.
However, no one knows exactly how much equity the Namsan fund holds.
In recent times, the Namsan Fund has been making a lot of moves, investing heavily in Facebook and YouTube, and then stabbing Twitter.
With such news, Wall Street investors have reason to believe that Namsan Fund has targeted this related industry and has begun to make targeted layouts.
Many small foundations are estimating the investment cycle and investment risks, and are hesitant to follow up.
But what is it to suddenly invest in a film company now?
The current film market has long been saturated and can no longer accommodate any giant, but if there is not enough room for development, how can the Namsan fund profit in the process of investment.
The answer was soon revealed, and it was reported that in recent times, the head of the Namsan Fund has visited a number of film companies, including industry giants such as Paramount and 20th Century Fox.
He was accompanied by the CEO of Hades Films, a German professional manager named Hammer.
It seems that the Namsan Fund is really going to get a piece of the film market.
I just don't know what they rely on. If you simply want to rely on the face of the Namsan fund, it seems a bit whimsical.
It's hard to get these film companies to lend a helping hand.
At most, these film companies don't deliberately make things difficult, and cinemas can show their movies normally, that's all.
Only those who were visited understood that the newly registered company was not as weak as one might think.
"The King's Man" and "Monster of the Han River", two of South Korea's highest-grossing movies, are all in their pockets, and they are still filming a comedy called "The Ugly Girl's Turnover".
The most terrifying thing is that all three movies appeared within a year.
Even if I don't know what the results of "Ugly Girl Comeover" are, the first two movies alone can earn about $100 million at the box office in South Korea. And they can beat the box office of "Pirates of the Caribbean" in South Korea, which is enough to show their strength.
Larger companies still have enough confidence to ignore this new entrant, but smaller companies are expecting hades not to come too violently, with the support of the Namsan fund behind them, and the pressure is too great.
The best result is that this hades will stay in that small part of Korea for the rest of his life and get moldy.
In fact, they are purely unfounded.
The Namsan Fund provided $30 million, or about 30 billion won, purely for Lee Kyung-chul to take care of his grandson. Thanks to his contribution to investing in Jianyi, it is estimated that it will be difficult to get any more money from him in the future, unless Hee Cheng is willing to lose the right to go to Hades.
That's right, Hades is indeed Hee-sung's handiwork.
With the gradual increase of film copyrights in Xicheng's hands. Yuna alone can't stand it for a long time, not to mention that she has to be in charge of everything in the studio.
It is the wisest choice to set up a film and television company and let professional people take care of it.
Originally, he planned to let Kim Doo-hwan go over to take charge, but he felt that he shouldn't leave Hee-sung's side. I can only ask my uncle in the United States to help me find a manager in this area.
Hammer has previously worked at DreamWorks and Columbia Pictures, and has worked his way up to the vice president position.
When his contract expired, Hammer originally planned to start his own business. It's a pity that last year's investment in a movie failed, not to mention the loss of money, and I still owe a lot of debts, and now I have to come out to work.
There is no problem with Hammer's ability, but his luck is a little bit back, and the Hollywood movie recession in 2005 is due to the general environment.
What's more, what Hee Sung needs is not his vision, but his actual work ability.
As for what movies to invest in, it is naturally up to him to decide.
Not long after Hades got on the right track, Hammer officially graduated from Diablo under the guidance of Hee Sung. Coty got the script in his hands and announced that he would invest $8 million to start preparing the film called "Juno."
There are more monks and less meat, but Hades is not worried about whether there are directors willing to cooperate.
One is named Jason. Reitman's little director, came into their sights, and with his unique ideas, Hammer favored the film, and the film was officially put on the agenda.
Dare to operate on two lines, firstly, to get the 30 billion investment provided by grandpa, and secondly, to have the amazing box office of "Monster of the Han River" as a backing.
The two movies "The King's Man" and "Monster of the Han River" made Hee Sung earn a lot of money, as high as more than 50 billion won.
November is over quickly, and December is the last month of the year, and it is also a month full of hope and disappointment for people in the entertainment industry, with various song awards and acting awards taking the stage in South Korea.
Hee-sung is not sure of a big victory, and it is almost impossible to cash in the grand occasion of Zhongguo.
Probably because Kim Jong Kook was so ruthless that everyone had no place to stand, this year, the MBC Song Awards cancelled the award ceremony and changed it to the "Korea Song Festival", which became a simple performance celebration.
Subsequently, the KBS Song Awards were also announced to be discontinued, and the "Song Festival" was replaced by a performance-like "Song Festival".
No one has given awards, and how can a Grand Slam be impossible.
Only the SBS Song War is still persistent, but Hee Sung knows that this big award will be held this year. It will also be suspended next year.
However, the Seoul Music Awards, which were suspended last year, have made a comeback, but they were originally co-hosted by Sports Seoul and SBS, and SBS broadcasts them, but from this year SBS will no longer participate in the hosting, Sports Seoul will host it alone, and the broadcast station will no longer be fixed.
The rest of the Golden Disc Awards and Mnet_Km_Music_Festival (MKMF) remain as usual.
It's not easy to win the big award this year, although the sales of Hee-sung's album have exceeded 500,000, leading the second place TVXQ by more than 100,000 copies, but Lee Hyori, TVXQ, and SGWannaBe are still his fierce rivals.
At 6 p.m. on December 1, the Seoul Music Awards, the first award ceremony of the year, will be held at the Ilsan Convention and Exhibition Center in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do.
Hee-sung received the invitation list of the big awards without any suspense.
He spent all this time in the lounge working on the script before his departure.
On the title page of the script is the words "This man is from the earth". Inspired by the last novel written by science fiction writer Jerome Bixby (1923~1998) during his lifetime.
His sci-fi book ItsaGoodLife has been selected as one of the "100 Most Popular Sci-Fi Short Stories in the World", and Jerome Bixby has also written the screenplay for the famous sci-fi TV series StarTrek.
Although there is a reference to the original work, it is by no means easy to write an ideal script, especially what Xicheng wants to write, which can be called unprecedented and unprecedented.
The plot of the story is very simple, the scenes are very "simple", the dialogue of several people is the main plot, and the inside and outside of a wooden house are all the scenes.
There are no ups and downs and suspenseful plots, and there is no love that goes through life and death. There are no dizzying special effects, not even the most fashionable flashbacks, just a few people sitting around the fire, facing all kinds of questions and answers. Art, religion, history, geography. Calmly and eloquently, it is a clash of ideas. One hour and forty minutes. Always be nervous. The right music, the right love, the right loneliness, the right cleverness, the right death.
John, a professor of history at Harvard University, abruptly resigned after a decade in the faculty department. After a few more words from his colleagues who rushed to his outskirts of his home to see him off, John explained his unspeakable reason for his resignation: he was a prehistoric cave man who had lived for 14,000 years, and for some unknown reason, he was forever stuck at the age of 35, never dead.
Every 10 years, in order to prevent the people around him from discovering the secret of his immortality, he began a new round of migration, changing his identity and living a new life. He once followed the Buddha's practice, was worshiped as a god by primitive tribes, knew Columbus, was better with Van Gogh, and what is even more terrifying is that he is even Jesus!
John's archaeological, psychological, and biological friends laughed at John's statement, but as the conversation deepened, they found that John's account was so true that their seemingly solid outlook on life and knowledge began to waver......
If someone sees the script written by Hee Sung, the first impression is absolutely absurd, and then they will laugh forward and lean back, which is also a script? Can this also be made into a movie?
Alternative, this is the alternative that Hee Cheng wants.
Because he can't afford to make blockbusters in the traditional sense, "Transformers" has a total investment of 146 million, equivalent to 150 billion won, and Hee-sung can't afford to shoot even if he pools all the money together, even if the copyrights of "Monster of the Han River" and "The King's Man" are all sold.
Therefore, he can only give up bringing sensory impact to the audience, the movie "This Man is from Earth" only needs to invest a little money, but it can bring hot topicality.
Even if the box office is not satisfactory, Hades can gain a huge amount of fame.
After all, this movie is known as the top ten alternative sci-fi films in the time and space in the memory of otaku, and it has a large group of loyal hardcores who think that this movie is simply the greatest movie of all time.
Of course, there are many people who think that this movie is purely a waste of movie tickets, there are only a few people from beginning to end, and there is only one simple scene, a few simple props, and the cost will definitely not exceed 10,000 US dollars.
