Chapter 389: Half a Year

Time flies quickly, in a blink of an eye, half a year has passed!

In the past six months, Xu Zhixuan has almost disappeared, and he often dominates the front page of the news, but now he can hardly see Xu Zhixuan's latest developments, but Song Zhixiao, who has a big belly, often has photos on the news!

In half a year, Xu Zhixuan has successfully digested the Lotte Cinema Line, and even formed an alliance with CJ Cinema Line to cross-sharehold, because Park Jinhye won with 83.97% of the votes and more than 86,000 votes and ascended to the presidency, and there is the Lotte Cinema shares that Seo Zhixuan has first handed over to Lee Jae-hyun, Lee Jae-hyun naturally cannot regret it at the critical moment of victory!

It can be said that the combination of Seo Zhixuan and Lee Jae-hyun, Lotte and CJ has made Korean film distribution companies cry wolf, but the directors of many studios are happy, because Seo Zhixuan must have enough film library, so it is bound to attract a group of loyal younger brothers.

It can be said that in the first half of 2013, many major events also happened in the Korean film industry, at the beginning of the year, the small-budget warm comedy "The Gift of Room No. 7" wrote the "good start" of Korean local films, but in the end, the "fan film" "Hidden and Great" still rose up to catch up with 6 million people in the state of "super dark horse", laying the foundation for the Korean film audience to break 100 million again throughout the year.

However, behind such prosperity, there are still hidden dangers, event 1: "Room Seven Gift" and "Secret and Great" have become box office dark horses!

Phenomenon: The age group of moviegoers expands in both directions

In the past, the audience of Korean films was mainly concentrated in young women in their 20s and 30s. Therefore, the sharp increase in the number of audiences in the 10th, 40th and 50th generations has become a major topic in the film industry in the first half of this year. The blockbuster sales of "The Gift of Room No. 7" and "Secret and Great" show that the audience of Korean films has been broadened, and for filmmakers, there are more possibilities for future film production, and a variety of genre films will be created for audiences of different ages

Event 2: Kim Ki-duk's "Morbius" was banned in China

Phenomenon: The issue of grading is debated

Because of the incest scenes such as the mother-son sexual relationship in the film, it was judged to be "restricted from screening" by the Korean Film Rating Committee. Admittedly, Korean films have always been cautious when it comes to ratings, and many films often change their ratings before their release, and even trailers and posters have strict restrictions. For example, the film "The Temperature of Love" and the comic adaptation "Fist of Legend", which reflect the love life of young people, have been classified as "teenagers can't watch movies" level, no wonder it has aroused unanimous condemnation from filmmakers.

Event 3: High-quality small films such as "Hai Yuan" became cannon fodder

Phenomenon: The monopoly problem of film giants in cinemas is strict

While Korean films are thriving, there has always been a problem that plagues filmmakers. That is, the film production is still monopolized by big business. The box office monopoly system has always been like a nightmare with Korean films, and a film industry insider pointed out that in the eyes of large companies with comprehensive theaters, if they are forced to release diversified films. Vested interests will suffer. But take a long-term view. Large corporations will also benefit from creating a rich and colorful film environment, and audiences will have more choices. The benefits outweigh the disadvantages for the Korean film market.

Event 4: 25-year-old Kim so-hyun alone won 20 million viewers

Phenomenon: The new generation of idols dominates the screen

Kim so-hyun, who once starred in "League of Thieves", which had more than 10 million viewers, starred in "Secret and Great" in 2013 and received more than 6 million viewers, and the cumulative number of viewers of the two films reached 20 million, which made many Mesozoic actors in South Korea look to the box office results set by this 25-year-old idol artist. And with the vigorous development of the 20th generation of male stars, the Korean film landscape will also undergo earth-shaking changes.

However, this also just gave Xu Zhixuan the motivation to fish in troubled waters, among which Cui Haoyun and Liu Chengxing can be said to be desperate, and many artists under the entertainment company have suffered from their claws, but the person behind it is Xu Zhixuan, and the artist also took the initiative to put it forward, many people can only endure it temporarily, who calls Xu Zhixuan the celebrity of the new president Park Jinhye!

In his previous life, Xu Zhixuan didn't know if the movie "New World" was released in China, but this time, with the Chinese brothers of China's local forces, Xu Zhixuan is of course happy to see this movie enter the Chinese market, especially after Xu Zhixuan has fully integrated Korean entertainment resources, his eyes turned to the Chinese market!

"Call me if you want to remember when you go over there, don't be too tired, there is something for Lin Yunzhen to do, and ......"

At the door of the Xu family's villa, Song Zhixiao, who was holding his stomach and wearing maternity clothes, nagged to Xu Zhixuan with a serious face, but this time, Xu Zhixuan did not have a trace of impatience, but listened patiently, because he could feel the worry in Song Zhixiao's heart!

"Don't worry, I'll be back before my due date!"

Song Zhixiao didn't seem to take Xu Zhixuan's guarantee to heart, since she was pregnant, Song Zhixiao has seen a lot of knowledge in this area, and naturally knows that the due date is not very accurate, especially the pregnant woman nurse she invited from herself, she once said that she once had a customer who was born prematurely a month early, Song Zhixiao was really scared, giving birth for the first time, Song Zhixiao was more nervous than anyone else, so naturally I hope that when she gave birth, Xu Zhixuan could be by her side!

"Can you not go, just let other people go, don't I have to publicize it?"

Xu Zhixuan suddenly cried and laughed in his heart, if it weren't for Song Jihyo's pregnancy, this time he would go to China to promote the movie, Xu Zhixuan would have to bring her over, now Korean artists, especially actors, have the desire to go abroad, this time Xu Zhixuan led the team to China, whether it is the biggest name Choi Min-sik or Lee Kwang-so, a small supporting role, they have arranged a schedule!

"Don't worry, I'll be back in two months at most, and your belly will be less than eight months by then, and you'll be more than a month away from your due date!"

"I'm not at ease!" Song Zhixiao saw that Xu Zhixuan was definitely going to China, and he also knew that he was a little unreasonable. But since she became pregnant, her personality has become so worried, and it may be a symptom that every mother has1

"Wife, don't worry, wait for me to come back at home!"

Xu Zhixuan saw Song Zhixiao, who seemed to be very weak, gently hugged Song Zhixiao, kissed her on the forehead, and then said goodbye to his sister-in-law and mother-in-law Jin Minzhi: "Sister-in-law, mother-in-law." The family and Jihyo will leave it to you! ”

"Don't worry. Go early and return early, with us at home, you can rest assured! Xu Zhixuan nodded and let go of Song Zhixiao. Got into the nanny car. Prepare to go to the airport to meet the rest of the crew.

Song Zhixiao looked at the shadow of Xu Zhixuan's departing car. With her hands clasped together, Lin Enjing was a person who had come over, so she naturally knew that she was pregnant. I lack a sense of security, I didn't come here like this back then, I smiled and helped Song Jihyo back to the house with Kim Minzhi, although it is now June, but pregnant women should not stay outside longer!

"Brother, you're here!"

"Zhixuan, long time no see!"

"When the person arrives, we will wait for you!"

Xu Zhixuan arrived, and the people waiting at the airport all stood up to greet Xu Zhixuan, saying that it is not an exaggeration to say that Xu Zhixuan's current status in the Korean film industry, in one sentence, can make the actors or directors present lose their jobs!

"Everyone is here, so let's get on the plane!"

Xu Zhixuan arrived at the airport in a hurry, but Xu Zhixuan would not explain that he was at home, and in order to comfort Song Zhixiao, he was almost late and couldn't catch the plane, after all, with his current status, he didn't need to explain to the other party.

"Congratulations yet, dragon and phoenix!"

The person sitting with Xu Zhixuan is Cui Min-sik, and this arrangement is also specially instructed by Xu Zhixuan, because taking advantage of the opportunity of Park Jinhye's ascension to the presidential throne, Xu Zhixuan also vigorously developed his own entertainment company, and there are indeed many people who dig it, but only Lee Shun-jae can really take on the big responsibility, and only Lee Shun-jae has the qualifications to crush everyone.

But as Xu Zhixuan's teacher, although Li Shunzai joined Xu Zhixuan's agency, he basically doesn't know how to take care of things, and even goes to the company less often than Xu Zhixuan, so Xu Zhixuan also needs a veteran actor with high qualifications, good acting skills, and connections to help him suppress the group of actors who have just been poached, after all, the actors who can be poached by Cui Haoyun and Liu Chengxing, which one is not a powerful person!

After thinking about it, in the end, Xu Zhixuan thought of the actor Cui Minzhi who had worked with him! The most important thing is that Choi Min-sik has the advantages of other old actors, first, that is, Xu Zhixuan has a good relationship with Choi Min-sik. Second, Choi Min-sik is now a free agent, and the previous brokerage company is C-JeS, which was acquired by Xu Zhixuan. Third, Xu Zhixuan also inquired that Cui Minzhi was looking for a powerful brokerage company recently.

"Thank you!" Xu Zhixuan was still thinking about how to talk to Cui Minzhi, but he didn't expect that Cui Minzhi would take the initiative, but after thinking about it carefully, he immediately understood that wanting to come to his own brokerage company was also in Cui Minzhi's consideration.

"I heard that the seniors are looking for a powerful brokerage company?"

Cui Minzhi saw Xu Zhixuan mention this, and he was not the slightest surprised, and nodded with a smile: "Yes, although I don't need the company to arrange resources, but I have received many invitations recently, and no company can help deal with it, which is really a bit troublesome!" ”

Xu Zhixuan nodded, he knew that Cui Minzhi's words were true, a powerful and famous veteran actor like him really didn't worry about not making a movie, but if there was no brokerage company to come forward to help him block some people who relied on relationships to deliver scripts, then with Cui Minzhi's temper, it was really difficult to say no words for a while!

"Senior, how about joining my brokerage company, many of them have also cooperated with you!"

Choi Min-sik nodded, knowing that Xu Zhixuan was talking about the C-JeS Entertainment Company that was acquired at the beginning, but he didn't agree immediately, and said with a smile: "Well, I need some time to think about it, and I'll give you an answer later!" ”

"That's as it should be, Actors Guild, although I'm looking forward to your joining!" Xu Zhixuan didn't expect things to go so smoothly, if Cui Minzhi joined, just like the locker room boss in the NBA, as long as he helped, then there would be no disadvantage, discord and other news in the brokerage company!
