It took half a month for Choi Jung-won to get out of the haze of Park Jung-jae's departure and return to work.

First of all, the issue he is most concerned about is the release of "Inception".

Because of such a big event, he didn't participate in the publicity part at all, and he felt very sorry for the Warners.

However, the content of Cao Qitai's report made him very pleased.

From the beginning of its release to the present, "Inception" has grossed $370 million at the box office in North America alone. It is expected that by the time the official painting is completed, it will be at least more than 600 million.

But compared with the big hit in North America, the market of this movie in Asia can no longer be described as hot.

Because the first and second leading actors in the film are all Asian, it naturally makes the audience in East Asia feel close.

Japan's pride Ken Watanabe's preservation zài makes Japanese audiences with a tradition of watching movies very happy to walk into the theater and watch films with great connotations repeatedly.

As a result, in one month, the number of moviegoers in Japan's box office market reached a staggering 7.5 million.

If Japan is an important market for the entertainment and cultural industry, so the box office numbers are gratifying, then the reaction in the Korean market is even more shocking.

In this small country at the southern tip of the peninsula, the people have shown unparalleled enthusiasm. The number of 5.3 million viewers is likely to make "Inception" an annual champion of more than 10 million.

In addition, China, which has an immature film market, also contributed 220 million to the box office this time, which really shows the potential of this untapped hot land for the entertainment and cultural industry.

According to professional estimates, by the time "Inception" is drawn, it will not be difficult for it to exceed 400 million at the box office in China.

Add in the box office in Europe, South America, Australia and Africa, and the film is expected to gross-all more than a billion dollars overall.

This number has far exceeded the 824.5 million in the previous life, at least a large exceedance.

According to this box office number, Cui Zhengyuan's final private income will reach about 120 million.

In terms of the final divide. C.J Group will be the biggest winner with $470 million.

The reason why C.J Group was able to surpass Warner, the main producer, to make the greatest profit is entirely because compared with Warner, it has the largest cinema chain in Asia that is the envy of the other party.

The struggle between producers and theaters over profit sharing has accompanied almost the entire history of the film. Although the producers have made great progress, it is clear that they are still slightly inferior in terms of mastering the market in terms of theaters.

In this regard, Warner is extremely envious of C.J Group, because in the United States, where the antitrust law is very comprehensive, film production companies are not allowed to get involved in the theater chain, otherwise they will be punished very severely.

But in Asia. South Korea and China, in particular, have no such concerns. For example, C.J Group is not only the largest film production company in Korea, but also the largest movie theater chain company in Korea.

The one-stop production and marketing determines that you can take all the benefits into your own hands.

In addition to his own achievements, Cui Zhengyuan put aside the company's affairs that he put down a while ago.

What makes him happiest is that Won Bin, who has been in the film for a long time, finally has a new work, and "Lonely Agent" starring him and Kim Sae-ron is about to be released.

The shy handsome guy of Yuan Da actually sent him an invitation to the premiere for the first time, and while he was happy, Cui Zhengyuan happily agreed.

What makes Cui Zhengyuan even more satisfied. Because of the fate of starring in the movie, Ha Ji Won, who was responsible for supervising the production of "Lonely Agent", strongly signed Kim Sae Ron into the company.

In this way, the ranks of child actors in A.P Company have two promising futures for Kim Youzhen and Kim Sae-ron.

In terms of variety shows. Because of Choi Jung-won's appearance, "Runningman" finally bloomed its unique charm, surpassing "Two Days and One Night" to win the Sunday ratings championship in one fell swoop.

However, if you want to maintain this advantage, you can't just rely on one or two issues. Because Jiang Hudong did not have a tax crisis. It is conceivable that the competition in the variety show on Sunday will be even more fierce in the future.

In addition, "Heroes and Heroes" is also getting better.

After Cui Zhengyuan's adaptation, there is a lot less gunpowder among the members of this version of "Heroes and Heroes". In addition, the popularity of Yoo In-na, IU and Ji-yeon, who starred again, is even higher. also showed a more prominent charm in the show, so it won the love of many audiences.

The show, which aired before "Runningman", has actually broken ten ratings twice in a row.

This result has made SBS TV no longer satisfied, so it is foreseeable that it is a foregone conclusion that the system will continue to be continued.

Speaking of Ji-yeon, Choi Jung-won thought about the singer side again and asked, "How is the situation on GirlsGeneration?" ”

Cao Qitai smiled, "What else can I do, it's all in the rest period." A lot of people are now hoping that they will never return, and your last few moves have turned the whole world of music into a frightened bird. ”

Cui Zhengyuan also smiled proudly, very satisfied with his handwriting.

Although the overall performance of the last "Say Your Wish" is not as good as that of "gee", it has a very important meaning for GirlsGeneration.

It is with this song that GirlsGeneration has completely surpassed the former heavenly group SHE and has become the current No. 1 girl group in Asia.

In the minds of ordinary people, when it comes to idol girl groups, they basically think of Korean girl groups. But in fact, before GirlsGeneration, the number one girl group in Asia in the real sense was none other than SHE.

The glorious results are enough to discourage many peers. Even when WonderGirls is at its hottest, it can't compare with others.

Now, as SHE gets older, it's finally GirlsGeneration's turn to take the top.

For GirlsGeneration's identity as Asia's No. 1 girl group today, even the Chinese agree. This meaning is not obtained by relying on awards and the like.

When this consensus is reached within the industry, it means that many things have changed.

For example, if GirlsGeneration attends events or commercial performances now, both the price and the treatment have changed dramatically from before.

Last year. GirlsGeneration did a show in Asia, and the price of three songs was about 300,000. But now, with the same number of songs, there is not a million, and the other party is embarrassed to speak.

Maybe many fans feel that the price is not high, but they don't want to think about it, a commercial performance, GirlsGeneration and the agency don't need to do anything, just fly over and perform three songs on stage, at most about 20 minutes. One million RMB is in hand. Where can I find such an easy way to make money?

Not to mention that the round-trip travel expenses and the hotel where you stay are all contracted by the performance party, and there is no place to spend money.

"Yuna hasn't come back yet?" Choi Jung-won asked about Yuna.

Cao Qitai nodded and smiled with satisfaction: "The little girl is now a red star, there are fans all over the world, and various promotional activities are busy with their feet." I just finished a fan meeting in Paris yesterday, and I guess my next stop will be London. Until the end of September, he will not return to China. ”

A "Twilight" finally made Lin Yuna, the leading actor, popular all over the world and became a popular idol actress.

She was in charge of her North American brokerage at A.P. North America. also took advantage of the trend and began to build momentum for her all over the world, striving to make her a popular actress.

Originally, Choi Jung-won felt that the time was almost up, and he was ready to arrange for GirlsGeneration's return again. As soon as I heard that Yuna would not be able to return until the end of September. Getting rid of the messy activities in the country, it is estimated that by the end of the year and the beginning of next year, it will not be possible for GirlsGeneration to achieve a return at all.

But Yuna is now very popular, and there is no reason for him to interrupt it abruptly. It's all money. Who can't get along with money?

"Forget it, since Yuna can't come back, the return of GirlsGeneration will continue to be delayed. But So-yeon, Eun-jeong, Hyo-min, and Ji-yeon aren't busy, right? Cui Zhengyuan asked instead.

"It's fine. They don't have a lot of activities and are currently in the company. Cao Qitai gave a definite answer.

Choi Jung-won stood up and walked out. "That's right, since the combination can't return, let's arrange an event for their crown team."

In his hands, there are too many good songs that belong to the former T-ara. The return of GirlsGeneration is not very frequent, so naturally it is not needed. Then in line with the principle of not wasting it, it can be regarded as returning the goods to its original owner if it is used on the crown squad.

As soon as he said it, Choi Jung-won immediately got up and went to GirlsGeneration's practice room.

On the way, he dialed Isabel and asked, "Where are you?" ”

Isabel on the other end of the phone said: "I'm in South Korea, what are the work arrangements of the general manager?" If I have something to say, I'm going back to the United States next week, but my sister is too lonely. ”

She is a person who knows a little bit of the inside story, and she is in a hurry to rush back to accompany her sister who grew up together.

"Well, it's a bit of work. There's a team on GirlsGeneration that's back, so you're going to oversee the album. Cui Zhengyuan arranged.

"Oh, it's a small thing, it's guaranteed to be done perfectly. I'll rush to GirlsGeneration's practice room now, Brother Zhengyuan, and I'll see you later. When I heard that it was an executive album, Isabel was not surprised at all and happily agreed.

This is her old job, and she has far more confidence than ordinary people. And it's interesting to say that she once supervised the song of the Crown Squad once.

Compared to GirlsGeneration's songs, she likes the songs of the Crown Squad.

In the eyes of a professional musician, GirlsGeneration's songs are not technical at all. It is a complete waste to use a top musician like her to supervise the production.

Now that I heard that the crown team was going to sing again, she would still supervise the production, and the little girl immediately ran over happily. (To be continued......)
