Chapter 229: The King's Man
Genius remembers in a second [Aishang Novel Network biquge.info] to provide you with wonderful novels to read.
There is a saying that disaster is not a one-way street, in fact, the same is true for general things, some time ago, Xicheng was calm for half a month, and there was very little to do.
I don't know why these days, things are one after another.
first came the news of "Palace", then the Tong Guò endorsed by Smart School Uniform, and then it was an invitation to a movie.
Starring!
Although it is not a big production, with an investment of less than seven billion, it is always the starring role of a movie in any case.
And, with the memory of an otaku.
Hee Sung knew that with this low-budget movie, several second- and third-tier actors and a newcomer, a director who is good at making comedies, they worked together to create a miracle - to create the second most watched film in Korean history - "The King's Man".
That's right, it's "The King's Man"!
It has set countless records that will be difficult for future generations to surpass.
In the shortest possible time, it set a record for the highest audience in the history of Korean films, with 1.18o people in 67 days. (At the beginning, "Tai Chi Flag Flying" took 1oo days to reach 11.74 million people); the only historical drama in the TOP1O in the history of Korean cinema; The last film in history to expand the number of theaters again in the 1O week of its release is called a "strange phenomenon"; This is a film that is exported overseas by the Korean Ministry in a direct way.
In addition, the small-scale zuò film, which cost only 4.5 billion won and was marketed as 2.2 billion won, received 8.4 billion won in direct revenue. If cultural effects are taken into account, hundreds of billions of won have already been spilled over economically.
Not to mention, those various awards that make people crazy.
This gentleman of Lee Jun-ik who came to the invitation. Hope Hee-sung will consider playing Kong Ji.
A man who is more beautiful than a woman.
Let's ask, in today's entertainment industry, who is more suitable than Xicheng.
The most important thing is that Hee Sung is still a newcomer in terms of movies, and he can't talk about his worth at all.
Hee Sung looked at this invitation for a long time.
It's not an exaggeration, it's true, and he sat at his desk, staring at the invitation until he was dizzy.
"Assi!" Hee-sung tugged at his head irritably. I almost didn't hit my head against the wall to show my irritability.
Yuna, who was sitting on the sand, looked up at him and went back to her business.
This has happened many times today.
She really didn't understand, wasn't it just an invitation to a movie.
Although he is the leading actor, the budget for the production is only more than 4 billion, and Hee Sung definitely has a reason not to look at it.
And Yuna also read the script she took, and she really couldn't talk about how good it was.
With her understanding of Hee Sung, I'm afraid Hee Sung won't accept such a role. Even under the pretext of dedicating oneself to art.
Since you don't want to act, you just have to refuse it.
After exhausting the leak. Hee-sung fell into deep thought again, however, this time he didn't stay for more than half an hour like the last time.
A few minutes later, he picked up the phone.
"Hello, is this Mr. Lee Jun-ik?"
"Yes, I am, who are you?"
"I'm Li Xicheng, and you sent someone to send an invitation this morning......
"Oh," the voice on the other end of the line raised. "How are you thinking about it, are you interested?"
"I'm really sorry," Hee Cheng said with difficulty, "I'm very optimistic about this movie, but because of the positioning of my own image, I have to reject you, I'm very sorry." ”
"Ah......h was full of disappointment, and as for Hee Sung saying that he was very optimistic about the movie, he only regarded it as a polite remark.
The film is a remake of the stage play "Er", although the stage play has won many honors in South Korea. But movies and stage plays, the visual differences between them put a lot of people off.
"In that case, so be it......"
Suddenly, he stopped Hee Sung again and said in the same difficult tone: "Wait a minute, can't you think about it anymore, if it's because of some scenes in the script, we can use a stand-in, and even let you have no physical contact with other people." ”
It's no secret that Hee Sung has an outstanding temperament and a good background, and Lee Jun Yi also knows the reason for his hesitation.
"I'm afraid not, senior, I haven't done anything since the morning, I've been hesitating, believe me, I'm really thinking about this matter," Hee Sung sighed wistfully, and finally rejected him.
I didn't expect the other party to think about it for so long, Li Junyi could feel Hee-sung's sincerity from the words, and he stopped entanglement, "Then, look forward to the next cooperation, Hee-sung, goodbye." ”
"Wait," Hee-sung called out this time.
"Is there anything else?" Li Junyi came to the spirit, could it be that this guy has changed his mind, but this change is too fast, and the chameleon has to bow down.
"Senior, why did you invite me to play Kong Ji," there is not even an interview procedure, and a direct invitation letter confirms the starring role, which is not the treatment of a newcomer.
What's more, Hee Sung has never even acted in the tiniest movie trick.
This is not called the grace of knowledge, but what is it called.
"At first impression, I felt that this character belonged to you...... "Lee Jun-yi said very sternly.
Xi Cheng has a black line, he didn't ask if he knew it, this person is changing the law and saying that he looks like a mother.
It's not my fault that I look like this, can I use it like this, I think of myself when I meet the role of a pseudo-girl.
"I can recommend you an actor who definitely meets your requirements than me," Hee Sung said unconvinced, "Senior Lee Joon-gi is more suitable than me." ”
"Well, Lee Joon-gi is not bad, if you wear makeup, but it is more suitable," Lee Jun-yi smiled bitterly, "Hee-sung's words are a bit against his will, you are more suitable than him without makeup, you are simply born Kong Ji." ”
Hee-sung wants to yell - Lee Joon-gi is better than my mother!
But he finally took a deep breath, held back this child-like temper, and patiently asked, "Why don't you talk to Lee Joon-gi, he won't let you down." ”
"Hehe, I do think so, if you don't want to act, then he can only play," Li Junyi did not hide it, "It's a pity that he is not popular." ”
Lee Joon-gi at this time is indeed too miserable, in the past year, he has played roles that are not even a supporting role, if it weren't for Lee Jun-ik's careful investigation, he wouldn't have known that there was a person like Lee Joon-gi in the entertainment industry.
Compared with Lee Joon-gi, although Hee-sung has not played any movie roles, he has acted in TV dramas, and the response is good.
What's more, he is a popular singer and a hot newcomer.
In terms of popularity, he can beat Lee Joon-gi completely.
"Believe me, as long as he plays this role, he will be popular in the future," Hee-sung smiled bitterly, muttering to himself in his heart, Lee Joon-gi, I will return this opportunity to you again. If you know the truth, you don't know how grateful you are to me.
"The point is, I originally planned to use your popularity to increase some bargaining chips and attract investment," He Xicheng could talk very well, and Li Junyi did not hide it.
Xicheng is popular and worthless, and inviting him to act in a movie can more or less make investors think about it.
"Wait, pull investment?" Hee Sung almost screamed, but he couldn't wait for him to steady his breath, "You mean that no one has invested in this movie yet?" ”
"Yes," Lee Jun-yi didn't understand why he was so excited.
"I ...... I'll invest," Hee Sung didn't care if he had money now, he almost gritted his teeth and said, "I can be responsible for all the investments." ”
"......" Li Junyi didn't know how to respond, he felt that Hee Sung was a strange person, and it seemed that his thinking pattern was very different from that of normal people.
It's okay to refuse to act, but he is so reluctant, and then he selflessly recommends others to act, and finally ...... actually want to invest in movies.
As for the sincerity and strength of the investment, Li Junyi has no doubts.
This newly debuted artist, who once created this year's hottest "My Name is Kim Sam-soon" with Jung Tae-hyun, who is famous in the investment world, heard that he recently started a variety show, with an investment of 2 billion.
Perhaps, he is a rich second generation......
However, no matter how many generations he has been rich, as long as he has money, it is easy to say.
"Do you really want to invest?"
Hee-sung waited for a long time before hearing the other party's response, and he said with certainty: "Yes, I have decided to invest in this movie, what is the specific amount of investment in the budget?" ”
"The cost of making 4.5 billion yuan, plus 2 billion publicity expenses," Li Junyi is not a person who has not experienced storms after all, he quickly stabilized his mood and reported an estimated figure to Xicheng.
"Okay, I'll invest seven billion," Hee Sung said categorically, he was so excited, he couldn't sit still with excitement, and he had to stand up and walk around to keep himself from yelling.
Yuna stared at him blankly, her mind blank, and there seemed to be a flock of crows flying overhead, quacking overhead......
"That film production is ......" Of course, Li Junyi will not refuse to invest, but he must first determine his ** production power.
Before Hee-sung could speak, he interrupted him, "I won't interfere with the crew in any way, of course, except for recommending Lee Joon-gi to play Kong Ji, this is also up to you." ”
"Then what do you want to get," happiness came too suddenly, Li Junyi's heart was very unsteady, what attracted the investment of this cutting-edge singer on his side.
The film material is taken from the stage play, not to mention how novel, the director has been making a fuss in the comedy circle, as for the actors, not to mention, they are all second- and third-tier or even not in the stream.
"I need ...... of the total return" Hee Sung thought for a moment and decided to open his mouth: "Thirty percent of the total return!" ”
