Chapter 818: Press Conference
Before the arrival of the lunar New Year, Constellation Entertainment, which had kept a low profile, finally held a press conference on the company's newly established film and television production department, inviting reporters from the three major TV stations and news media from Seoul's major film and television entertainment editions to attend and hold a press conference directly facing the company's top management.
The attention to ConstellationEntertainment still comes from Zixi, the office established by Kim Hee-sun herself at the beginning only existed purely for her personal acting activities, and many first-line and top stars in South Korea will establish their own offices to serve themselves for convenience and not being criticized.
But with the joining of first-line female stars in the Korean entertainment industry such as Ha Ji Won, Han Ga-in, Kim Ha-na, Song Hye Kyo, Son Ye-jin, and the capital increase of Zi-hee, the name of the beauty office comes from this, and the name of "Kim Hee-sun Office" is no longer worthy of the name. But before the media could react, after a series of dazzling mergers, acquisitions, and reorganizations, "Kim Hee-sun Office" was officially renamed "ConstellationEntertainment", and Han Sung-so, the former president of PledisEntertainment, became the new company's executive director; Kim Kwang-so, the former representative of CoreCentensMedia, served as a special manager.
The new company established after the reorganization has Kim Hee-sun as the chairman, and the directors include Zi-hee, Ha Ji-won, Han Ga-in, Kim Ha-na, Song Hye Kyo, Son Ye-jin, etc., and the actors are Park Min-young, Shin Se-kyung, Lee so-kyung, Park Han-sung and others. Its singers and post-group artists include Sun Danfei, AfterSchool, Davichi, SeeYa, T-ara and so on.
After Zixi became the CEO of FS Group's business in Korea, Zixi also officially took over as the chairman of ConstellationEntertainment, and the chairman is still Kim Hee-sun, who has rarely been on the road since retiring. The first fire of Zixi's new official was the establishment of a film and television production department, but the establishment of this department was only announced within the company, and no news was ever released to the public, let alone what TV series or movie scripts would be invested. This made some media outlets who got the news just think that this is a thunderous and small hype by ConstellationEntertainment.
After a month of silence, after the announcement of the successful joint production of a new drama by Zixi and director Lee Jung-sub, ConstellationEntertainment's film and television production department finally made an appearance, which is the first film and television work announced to the public since the establishment of the production department.
However, before the media could digest the news, ConstellationEntertainment's letter in the name of the film and television production department was sent to the major film and television entertainment media in Seoul for the first time, and it also officially indicated that this department began to enter the direction of film and television production and distribution.
Zixi was appointed as the president, the directors are all big beauty stars, and the actors are all up-and-coming female newcomers, this press conference with great fanfare, there must be some major news to announce, is it that Zixi has taken over the filming of the new drama What is the latest news to announce? This is probably the first thought that comes to the minds of all the media who are invited.
Before the press conference began, Zixi had already taken a flight to London, England. This time, he received an invitation from Tussauds in the United Kingdom to tailor his wax figure at the headquarters in London. And this wax figure is not just made of one, nor is it placed in London alone, there are four wax museums in Hollywood, SH, Hong Kong and Bangkok, Thailand, which are based on Zixi's character prototypes in [Transformers], [Pirates of the Caribbean] and [Twilight]. The proportions of all body sizes are completed one-to-one, so in order to keep improving, Tussauds requires Zixi himself to be present to measure and take pictures, so that the wax figures produced can be fully realistic.
In London, England, Zixi, who had just arrived, and Lim Won-tae, the president of ConstellationEntertainment, and Han Sung-so, the executive director in charge of the film and television production department, reported on the entire press conference.
The press conference was presided over by Han Sung-so, and President Lim Won-tae and Executive Director Kim Kwang-so were also present, and as for another middle-aged man dressed in ordinary clothes, the reporters present mistook it for an employee of ConstellationEntertainment. After all, the entire ConstellationEntertainment is controlled by popular Korean actresses, and the people who can directly participate in the management and speak in front of Zixi are Lin Yuantai, Han Sung-so and Kim Kwang-so, who are also the direct managers of ConstellationEntertainment, and the three have long been famous. Many good people are speculating that these three people will be reused by Zixi, and there will be a great chance that they will enter the management and even the top management of Tianchen Entertainment after Zixi takes over the FS Group in the future.
In fact, most Korean media have misunderstood a little, South Korea's TCEntertainment is a branch of Tianchen Entertainment in South Korea, but ConstellationEntertainment is a company established by Zixi for Kim Hee-sun, which belongs to him privately, and has nothing to do with FS Group or Tianchen Entertainment, at most, it has the bond of Zixi, and an inseparable cooperative relationship has been established between the two. This has also made the media in South Korea and even Asia mistakenly believe that Constellation Entertainment is also one of the subsidiaries of Tianchen Entertainment. But whether it is Zixi or Lin Yuantai, including everyone who understands the matter, they are silent about this matter.
At the beginning of the press conference, Han Sung-so announced that ConstellationEntertainment's film and television production department will invest in the production of the latest TV series "Bread King Kim Choo-gu" directed by Lee Jung-sub, written by Kang Eun-kyung, and starring Zi-hee. The TV series has signed a co-production and premiere agreement with KBS Television's Drama Production Bureau, and the overseas broadcast rights of the TV series will be sold by Constellation Entertainment. Moreover, the TV series will have a public audition casting after the year, and the second actor and the first and second heroine in the play will be selected through auditions.
ConstellationEntertainment and KBS's new drama has been noisy on the Internet for a while, and even the news about director Lee Jung-sub and writer Kang Eun-kyung is no longer new, just to show that this is the first work of ConstellationEntertainment's film and television production department. But if the second actor and the first and second heroine in the play are to be produced through audition, it will definitely be big news.
But before the media could ask questions, Executive Director Han Sung-so once again threw out another piece of news that shocked the hundreds of media reporters present. That is, in addition to taking over the filming of the new TV series "Bread King Kim Choo-gu", Zi-hee will also serve as another new film also produced by Constellation Entertainment with an investment of more than 30 billion won, and the director and writer of the film are both director Lee Jeong-bem.
As soon as the news was released, the reporters at the scene were stunned for more than ten seconds before they reacted, after all, ConstellationEntertainment's handiwork was too big this time. But also without giving them time to ask questions, Han Sung-so announced again that sitting next to him was director Lee Jeong-fan, the director of the new film, and he would introduce the details of the film.
Most media reporters don't know the perception of director Li Zhenfan, and many reporters who have joined the company in the past two years have never even heard of the existence of such a director in South Korea. This is a big investment of more than 20 million US dollars, and is it stupid to find a director with a name unknown to shoot, the management and film and television production department of ConstellationEntertainment?
But the news revealed from the mouth of director Li Zhenfan, who was calm and had money left, made the reporters present completely crazy, and they also felt that the world was crazy. Because according to director Li Zhenfan, it was not he who invited Zixi to star in the film, but Zixi took the initiative to ask him to meet to discuss the script after seeing the script, and even promised to take over the filming of this new film, and even was willing to take the initiative to reduce the salary.
As we all know, Zixi is already a superstar in the 20 million club in Hollywood, and the value of a movie in South Korea has reached 25 billion to 30 billion won. In the face of such a high salary, many Korean film and television production companies can only sigh at Zixi, a star in the world. After all, if there is no overseas distribution, it will be difficult to recoup the cost by relying on the Korean box office alone, let alone make money. Therefore, most film and television companies do not have such courage and ambition to invite Zixi to star in the film with such a huge salary.
If director Li Zhenfan invited Zixi, it would not be surprising to attract him with a high salary. After all, an actor also needs to make a film to make money, even if he is a Hollywood superstar, if he is not paid, what will he eat? Of course, Zixi was an accident, and money was just a piece of paper data for him. But Zixi took the initiative to take over the script, and was even willing to take the initiative to reduce the salary, so there was news and topics to dig into.
Who is Zixi? That's a famous Hollywood superstar in the world, and the directors and scripts that he can look at are probably not many in the world, right? is actually willing to take the initiative to take the film, and also reduce the salary, what is so attractive about this script Zixi? You can't doubt that Zixi and director Li Zhenfan are playing back the mountain, and they are acting at a friendly price, right?
A TV series is acceptable, and the addition of a new movie can only show that ConstellationEntertainment has strong financial resources. But both works are starred by Zixi as the leading actor, and the movie is willing to take the initiative to reduce the salary, which is too big and too big to give people room for conjecture.
The reporters collectively raised their hands and asked questions, but President Lin Yuantai stood up and waved his hand, quieting the scene, and then announced the third news again, "Since Zixi has already left for London, England, to accept the invitation of Tussauds Wax Museum, the wax figures based on [Transformers], [Twilight] and [Pirates of the Caribbean] will be placed in London, England, Los Angeles, Hollywood, China, SH, HK, China, and Bangkok, Thailand. Due to time constraints, I can't meet the media at the scene, please forgive me! ”
The press conference went crazy, and the reporters didn't care about the management of ConstellationEntertainment at the scene, raising their hands one by one, and asking one question after another. From President Lim Won-tae to Executive Director Han Sung-so, and the most popular director is Director Lee Jeong-fan, all of them were faced with several and dozens of questions at the same time.
The three of them looked at each other and smiled, the purpose had been achieved. For the questions of the reporters below, those who can be answered are not hidden, and those who cannot be answered are also concerned about him. For example, Zixi's salary is only 10 billion won, and the exchange is less than 10 million US dollars, which is definitely worth Zixi's worth. There are also such as the story theme and background of the film, when and where the film will start shooting, the other actors who will cooperate in the film, and when the film will be released, overseas distribution rights, etc., Director Lee Jeong-fan and Executive Director Han Sung-so have answered.
The press conference of ConstellationEntertainment is definitely an unprecedented success, TV series, movies and the world's famous wax museum, one after another major news announcements, not only to increase the influence of the film [Uncle], but also to improve the status of the film and television production department, increase people's imagination space, It also makes ConstellationEntertainment an indispensable name for this year's Lunar New Year Film and Television Entertainment News Edition.
This is also the three management of ConstellationEntertainment and Zixi came up with this way to expand the publicity atmosphere, and now the purpose has been achieved, seeing which media reporters on the scene are like chicken blood, as well as the mobile phones and laptops that have not stopped dialing and transmitting messages in their hands, I know that tomorrow the Korean entertainment industry will usher in another big shock, and this shock is inseparable from Zixi, ConstellationEntertainment Film and Television Production Department, Movie [Uncle], TV Series [Bread King Kim Zhuoqiu], Director Lee Jeong-fan and so on.
