Chapter 769: Independent Studio

PS:xiexieEhime、Trace ゞ光's tip!

"Okay, that's it. Next, everyone will do their best according to our agreement on the haode charter, and this time the two boy groups will return before and after, and they must form an echo. "Zuihou, Choi Jung-won made a summary.

After the meeting ended, Han Chenghao stayed.

When everyone was gone, he talked about one thing. "Zhengyuan, you weren't there a few days ago, and Gao Weiwu, the person in charge of Song Hye Kyo's studio, made some suggestions to me, which I think makes sense. Now to tell you, you refer to the details. ”

The news about Song Hye Kyo surprised Choi Jung-won.

Among the actors of A.P Company, if he has less contact with anyone, I'm afraid no one can compare to Song Hye Kyo.

It's not that the relationship between the two is bad, and it's not that Song Hye Kyo isn't popular enough. It's that this one's star path is very stable and has been developing unhurriedly.

In such a situation, there are not many times when he, the chief planner, needs to intervene.

Cui Zhengyuan has a lot of opportunities every day, and he is busy every day, so he naturally will not be idle and cares about an artist who has no problems.

Moreover, Song Hye Kyo is known as a scandal maker. All the actors who have been involved with her have experienced such a turmoil.

For Cui Zhengyuan, who is seeking more and more stability, it is naturally better to have more than one thing.

Thinking about it, he didn't find any signs of Song Hye Kyo's recent big moves.

Since filming "Full House" in 2004, Song Hye Kyo has focused on filming.

Last year's "Me and My Girlfriend" was a romantic aiqing movie prepared by her personally.

The director is Jeon Yeon-so, Kang Di-gyu's assistant, and he invited Kwak Jae-yong to write the script for her personally. Then she also launched a relationship and invited Cha Tae-hyun to be the leading actor.

Because of the style of the movie, the results are neither good nor bad, they can only be regarded as average.

What is rare is that this movie was prepared by Song Hye Kyo herself. So I can see that she has a certain organizational ability.

also won the nomination for the Best New Actress Award in the film category of the Baeksang Arts Awards last year, which can be regarded as a recognition of Song Da's beauty entering the big screen.

"What did she say?" Cui Zhengyuan sat back in his seat, turned the ballpoint pen in his hand and asked.

Song Hye Kyo is not an ordinary little artist, she can be regarded as a representative top actress in A.P company. Although the number of her works has plummeted in recent years, it has not affected her ability to attract money and her status in the company.

Therefore, any little wind and grass is worthy of Cui Zhengyuan's attention.

"That's right, according to their studio's investigation, Song Hye Kyo's popularity in China is very high, even more than in China. So after their internal research, they decided that it was appropriate for her to enter the Chinese market. But you also know. As a studio, the scale is not conducive to cross-border operations. So Gao Weiwu came to me to inquire about the possibility of upgrading the studio. It can be seen that although Han Sung-ho is telling, he should be very much in favor of Song Hye Kyo's studio's proposition.

Cui Zhengyuan nodded. Indicates understanding.

Song Hye Kyo's popularity in China, he still knows it very well.

He'd thought about it before. It's just that other things keep going on and on.

And a "Full House of Romance" made Song Hye Kyo return to the ranks of South Korea's top actresses after three years. So it was delayed.

It seems that the two-year gap has also made Song Hye Kyo's studio and herself aware of the sense of crisis, so they began to actively seek solutions.

Generally speaking, going out is definitely the best medicine.

There was Li Zhenxian in the front and Zhang Nara in the back, both of whom gained a lot after leaving their homeland and entering China, and their careers also ushered in a second spring.

It's no surprise that Song Hye Kyo has such an idea.

And according to Choi Jung-won's memory. Later, Song Hye Kyo participated in the filming of two Chinese films.

In Wong Kar-wai's "The Grandmaster", she can only be regarded as soy sauce once, and she can't say that she has any outstanding performance.

However, in John Woo's "Taiping Wheel", she was one of the leading actors.

And the opponents are all powerful actors such as Zhang Ziyi, Takeshi Kaneshiro, Huang Xiaoming, Tong Dawei, and Masami Nagasawa.

It's just that the movie hasn't been released yet. Cui Zhengyuan was reborn, so he didn't know how it was.

But I believe that with John Woo's signature, the quality of the movie should not be too bad, and it is not a problem to be brilliant.

has been favored by two big directors, which is enough to show that Song Hye Kyo has no problem gaining a foothold in the Chinese entertainment industry.

And comparatively speaking, she is more popular in China than Li Zhenxian and Zhang Nara.

In other words, it is not difficult to operate her to enter the Chinese market.

However, as Han Chenghao relayed, the upgrade of the studio is inevitable.

After thinking about it, Cui Zhengyuan said approvingly: "Then let them upgrade to an independent studio, and give them the right to negotiate and cooperate with the Chinese branch." In the future, they can delegate the responsibility of the China branch to the Chinese branch. ”

When he said this, Choi Jung-won already had in his heart ready to turn Song Hye Kyo's studio into an independent branch in the future.

This is inevitable, when an artist and his group grow to a certain scale, they will definitely not be willing to accept the exploitation of the agency anymore, and then seek independence.

Most of the artists in South Korea are like this.

There is Bae Yongjun in the front, and Jun Ji-hyun in the back, all of them are such a process.

From the perspective of business operators, Cui Zhengyuan is also very supportive of this model.

After all, the bigger the artist, the more serious the priority of resources is occupied, which is not conducive to the launch and growth of newcomers.

Moreover, the room for improvement of big-name artists has become very limited, basically hovering between maintenance and decline, and there is no need for the agency to invest a lot of resources to take care of it.

Rather than this, it is better to let them go out independently and take care of their own profits and losses, and use the few resources on new people who can develop promisingly.

Now it's Song Hye Kyo, and in the future, Jun Ji Hyun, Won Bin, Hyun Bin, Kim Jong Kook, Lee Hyori, etc., Choi Jung Won will let them gradually become independent.

"I think so too, but whether Song Hye Kyo can gain a foothold in the Chinese market still needs your help. If you can come up with a suitable work for her, the process will also save a lot of effort. Han Chenghao thought more.

This is certain, everyone knows that Cui Chang's excellent works here are endless.

As long as you can get a chance. It is enough to make an artist famous.

Cui Zhengyuan nodded, without prevarication and humility. "Give me some time, I'll make haode. But you tell Song Hye Kyo that this matter can't be rushed. My main focus right now is on Lee Hyori and Dark.L, and I don't think I'll be able to take care of her. Let her take advantage of the abundant time now to learn more about Chinese language and Chinese culture. Although China's entertainment market is very open, it is still difficult for outsiders to mix. ”

Han Chenghao gave a thumbs up, "It's still the long-term you think about, and you have taken care of all aspects." ”

Cui Zhengyuan's thoughts did not stop there, and continued: "There are also words that will be upgraded to an independent studio. Gao Weiwu's ability and connections may not be enough to cope with both domestic and foreign markets. Let's let Ang Lee take care of it, he has been in China for so many years and is familiar with all aspects. And his position is ministerial, so he can have a smooth dialogue with China's entertainment executives. ”

Gao Weiwu has always been Song Hye Kyo's agent before, and he is qualified to be responsible for specific affairs.

But it's a long way from running an independent studio.

Again. He has been following Song Hye Kyo all the time, and it is hard to guarantee that he has no other ideas.

Choi Jung-won's approach. It was an endorsement of the idea of expanding their studio. But it also eliminates the possibility of defection.

Song Hye Kyo's value is far from maximized, and she will be an iconic figure for a long time to come.

Moreover, in the five years since the establishment of A.P Company, no artist has ever taken the initiative to ask to leave.

Cui Zhengyuan doesn't want to set a precedent for this trend, at least not now.

Han Sung-ho is not a novice in entertainment, and he understood Cui Zhengyuan's deep meaning almost instantly.

For the young partner's acumen. He really had nothing to say except admiration.

In just a few words, everything was arranged properly, and people couldn't find fault with it.

With such a person, the prosperity of A.P is almost inevitable.

Cui Zhengyuan didn't realize that the president's mind had turned so far. He's still thinking about setting up an independent studio.

After thinking about it, he suggested: "Why don't you just take this opportunity to separate Jun Ji-hyun and Won Bin's studios." I've looked at last year's operating statements, and their operating costs are just too great. It is a waste to hang it in the name of the company. ”

To be honest, for Yuan Bin, Cui Zhengyuan is very dissatisfied.

Although he has a huge fame and status is also among the top stars in South Korea, the value he creates does not match his identity.

Just this month, Yuan Bin had just been discharged from the army early due to injury. Recovery is expected after nine months of treatment.

The most unacceptable thing for Cui Zhengyuan is that if history does not change, it is that he will not return with the movie "Mother" until three years later.

A three-year blank period, how many three years of an artist's career are squandered? If you make good use of these three years, how much profit will you create?

Choi Jung-won, who had a deep conversation with Wonbin, knew that it was impossible for him to change the other party's mind.

If he could, the number of Won Bin's works would not be so small before he joined the army.

As an actor, there are not many opportunities to be able to appear in works. Deliberately hiding exposure like Yuan Bin is simply the biggest headache for brokerage companies.

Because there is no exposure, no matter how famous you are, advertisers will have a lot of concerns when choosing a spokesperson.

Without advertising, the profits that artists can create are greatly reduced.

Choi Jung-won is not a fan, but the owner of a large entertainment company.

Let him watch a superstar who is obviously very popular get moldy there, but he can't use it, how can he bear it?

You must know that Yuan Bin is not alone, and there are more than a dozen people in the work team around him.

He can't create value, these people are all raised by the company.

How much does this cost in the entertainment industry? Just think about it.

Therefore, he had the idea of simply letting Yuanbin Studio go out independently.

Perhaps the self-financing situation can force this to change the current style.

As for Jun Ji-hyun, it's just incidental.

Originally, I wanted to be independent in the future, and there is no difference between now and after a while. (To be continued......)
