Chapter 117: The Film Project
"Coming back?"
In the final analysis, they are brothers, and they are all family. Obviously, we met as soon as we got off the plane, but we met again not long after, and we were still at home. Wen Chengyou still looked at Wen Chengyou's bedroom first, saw him there with a textbook and looked through it, and walked up with a smile and asked.
Wen Yanyou turned his head to look at him and said casually: "I should ask you this, right?" β
Wen Chengyou sat on the edge of the bed, shook his head and said, "I thought you would go back to your own residence, after all, you will go to Japan tomorrow." β
Wen Yanyou looked at the direction of the door, and said with a chuckle: "If you don't let your mother see you again, it is estimated that you can chase it abroad." β
Wen Chengyou naturally knew what his mother's situation was, so he smiled and didn't say anything.
Looking at the textbook in his hand, Wen Chengyou paused, pulled the corners of his mouth and asked: "I've worked hard for you, filming is so tiring, and I have to take care of the university entrance examination." β
Wen Yanyou shrugged: "It's nothing, anyway, this kind of thing is your own, and no one else can help." β
After a pause, Wen Yanyou put the textbook aside and looked at Wen Chengyou: "Let's get down to business." Just now I suddenly remembered that it seems that screenwriter Kim had mentioned that "IRIS" will make a movie? β
Wen Chengyou was stunned for a moment, nodded and spoke: "I've heard of this, but it doesn't seem to be a movie, but a movie version edited from the existing TV series clips, with at most some new shots and plot broadcasts." β
Wen Yanyou pursed the corners of his mouth and bowed his head silently.
Wen Chengyou looked at him and said suspiciously: "What?" Do you have any ideas? β
Wen Yanyou raised his head, frowned and said: "I'm wondering, spending 40 billion, just relying on TV dramas, can it really recover the cost." Even if overseas copyrights are counted, plus advertising revenue. β
Wen Chengyou was stunned, chuckled and said, "Do you really have plans to recover the cost?" β
Wen Yanyou looked at him with a smile: "What? You're still running to lose money in the first place? β
Wen Chengyou nodded: "If you can succeed, what is the loss of money?" It's not that you can't afford to lose? β
Wen Yanyou looked at him helplessly. Ban Xiang spoke: "If you really succeed, you won't lose money." If you lose money, no matter how good the ratings are, it will be a superficial hustle and bustle, and it will not become a substantive classic at all. β
Wen Chengyou frowned and thought about it, not very understanding the detailed reaction of what Wen Chengyou said. But he knew that what Wen Yanyou said made sense. If you succeed, you will lose money, and if you lose money, you can't be considered successful. At least there are flaws.
Just silent for a while, Wen Chengyou looked at Wen Yangyou: "This movie edited with clips from TV dramas is also a means to recover costs." The original jihua. If the TV series is successful, it will leave some suspense. It will be shown in the movie, and it will also attract moviegoers. β
Wen Yanyou shook his head, and after a while, he suddenly leaned forward and looked at Wen Chengyou: "I have an idea, you can listen to it and see if it is feasible." β
Wen Chengyou knew that what he was thinking seriously must be the right thing. I also nodded and listened carefully to what he had to say.
Wen Yanyou sorted out his thoughts and said: "The investment of 20 billion yuan is the production cost at the beginning. But after we take over. Mutated into 40 billion. But apart from showing our determination and hoping that there will be no worries about the future, in fact, the money has not been used much. And because of the withdrawal of Lee Byung-hun and Jung Jun-ho, even if it is to double the salary of other actors. In fact, the expenditure is not much more than before, and as for the other overseas shooting, there are still some expenses, which are similar to the previous 20 billion Jihua, right? β
Moon Seungwoo thought for a moment. Frowning and speaking: "That's true, it must cost a little more than before, but it will never be doubled." Even if it's not 40 billion, it's 20 billion. It's still enough to support. β
After a pause, Wen Chengyou looked at Wen Yangyou: "Then what do you mean......"
Wen Yanyou spoke: "I mean, it's better to use the extra funds to really shoot a movie." Instead of relying on TV series editing, such shoddy production, only relying on the name of "IRIS" to attract the audience, if it was popular, no one would say anything at the time, but after a year or two after "IRIS" cooled down, the audience and fans will reflect that this is our move to make money, which may become a stain on "IRIS". β
Wen Chengyou's expression was surprised, and he hurriedly leaned over: "That's absolutely not good, our situation is different from the original production company and film crew." Besides, there is no shortage of money, so you can't mistakenly smear "IRIS", which has paid so much, because of the cost. β
Wen Yanyou nodded: "If you understand this truth, it is easy to communicate, and it is naturally a good thing to circle money, and it is a move to recover costs." But we are not short of money, because the things we don't care about have a bad impact on the things we care about, and I believe that you and I can't even accept it. β
Wen Chengyou smiled and waved his hand: "You are wrong, it's just that you and I or Shiyuan can't accept it, but SW and YG probably won't care, because these two are serious brokerage companies, and SW is still a small company, and you have to be responsible for the company, even if you have SW shares." β
Wen Yanyou nodded: "It doesn't matter, if we really shoot a movie, instead of relying on editing, we can make back money or even more, I believe they won't care." On the contrary, they are more happy. β
Wen Chengyou nodded, thought for a while, and looked at Wen Chengyou: "Then tell me, what are you going to do?" Re-making the "Iris" film and ditching the clip cuts? β
Wen Yanyou shook his head and looked at Wen Chengyou: "Re-select the script, the plot has nothing to do with "IRIS". β
Wen Chengyou's expression was shocked, he frowned and waved his hand: "How can this be done?" It's out of the realm of "IRIS". β
Wen Yanyou shook his head and said, "You listen to me." β
Wen Chengyou frowned and looked at Wen Yangyou, Wen Yanyou paused for a moment, smiled and said: "What kind of pressure is under "IRIS", I don't say that you also know. Now that the filming is not finished, the success or failure is still inconclusive. Instead of this, it is better to seize the opportunity to break through again. β
Wen Chengyou looked at him suspiciously: "Break through what?" β
Wen Yanyou pointed to himself and asked Wen Chengyou: "You said, in the Korean entertainment industry, an artist like me who has debuted for two years, even if his popularity and status are rising steadily and rapidly, but with the resources and status of the Korean entertainment industry, in terms of seniority, how long will it take for me to go from the screen to the screen?" β
Wen Chengyou was stunned for a moment, thought about it carefully, and said with a smile: "Do you want to say that it will be a long time?" Then I don't agree. Many young actors also participate in movies at a young age. and even starred in it. β
Wen Yanyou shook his head: "That's different." First of all, they are pure actors, and no one who is a singer idol turned over. Secondly, they are all small-budget movies and do not belong to the mainstream. Anyone can make a movie like that, as long as they have the money to start filming it. β
Wen Chengyou looked at him suspiciously, smiled and said: "Listen to what you mean, do you have to find a big production to shoot?" β
Wen Yanyou squinted his eyes and chuckled: "My own work, of course, I want the most haode." If it's normal, with my development, even if it's going well. The popularity has always been high, too. But it will take at least two to three years to act in a movie, and it may not be a big production. β
Wen Chengyou frowned and thought about it, and couldn't help nodding.
Not only South Korea, but even other countries, are in a very good situation, and actors have to shoot big productions or even major roles, which is usually not something that can be done when they are newcomers in the first year or two of their debut.
Seeing that Wen Chengyou understood, Wen Chengyou continued to speak: "This time is a great opportunity. Originally, I was under the pressure of questioning "IRIS", so it was better to break through again. Failure leads to failure, and if you succeed, you will gain more than the success of "IRIS" alone. β
Moon Seung-woo's eyes lit up, and he stood up and paced back. After a while, he clapped his hands and nodded with a smile: "Not bad." It is equivalent to gambling, although it was before, but under so much psychological pressure and pay, but the chips are not much. Now it's the same pressure. Showhand directly! β
After a pause, Wen Chengyou reacted, and suddenly frowned and looked at the smiling Wen Yanyou. Pursed the corners of his mouth and said, "But are you sure you can bear it?" β
Wen Yanyou stood up, stretched his waist and sat back with a smile: "You can start looking for it now." If I can't bear it, I'll be able to stand it now. If you can bear it, it's not bad for this. And now that I'm making a movie under the name of "Iris", it will eliminate a lot of the controversy and burden that comes with a lot of seniority and resources. β
Of course, Moon Seungwoo understands this, and this is the core meaning of saying it for so long. Under normal circumstances, Moon Yee-woo has only debuted for two and a half years now, and he is also a pure newcomer when he speaks purely as an actor. But in the past two and a half years, he has not just made TV series and acted as an actor. variety shows and music albums, he did them all.
is such an impure artist, filming "IRIS" to replace Lee Byung-hun as the starring role, which is where the pressure and controversy lie on him now. Of course, this was all caused by Wen Chengyou and the Wen family's Jihua, and he was forced to go to the front desk to take on all this.
So under normal circumstances, let alone a movie, even the big production of "IRIS", Wen Yangyou would not be able to receive it. There are so many Hallyu actors at the level of Lee Byung-hun, when will it be your turn?
But now it's different, Moon Yee-woo really became the actor of "IRIS", replacing Lee Byung-hun. Then he has to bear the controversy and doubts that ensues. Wen Yangyou means that since this is the case, he will have to bear the doubts and controversies brought about by his seniority, status and age acting skills anyway, so he will take the opportunity to shoot a movie that cannot be shot under normal circumstances.
After all, the status of movies in the Korean entertainment industry is much higher than that of other countries. Many actors are proud to be able to shoot movies, which is also a manifestation of their strength and status reaching a certain level. It's not that you can shoot if you're popular and you're popular. Pay attention to a question of box office appeal.
What's more, "IRIS" is Jihua, who announced that he would shoot a movie at the beginning, which is part of the derivative. This is something that the public already knows and accepts, and there is no need for much work.
Moreover, the investment has been changed from 20 billion to 40 billion, which cannot be used or squandered under normal circumstances...... It's better to use it in the right place.
