Seeing Cui Xianzhen's solemn look, Lee Seung-woo smiled comfortably.

The reason why he repeatedly reminded Cui Xianzhen like this, and deliberately showed sincerity, was that he hoped that Cui Xianzhen could understand his 'hard work' and try to be a person who could keep his duty.

Because Lee Seung-woo does need such a person who knows the roots and can be relatively trusted.

After all, there are some things that he is inconvenient to do, and it is not suitable for him to do them, but with a person like Cui Xianzhen, he will have more room to do things calmly in the future.

Smiling comfortably, Lee Seung-woo raised his hand and gently patted Choi Hyun-jin's shoulder.

"Okay, I won't say much else. Xianzhen, brother only needs you to remember one sentence: believe brother, our life will only get better and better in the future! ”

"Brother, I believe you!"

Choi Hyun-jin nodded solemnly, with a determined expression.

Lee Seung-woo's smile then became a little brighter.

Time passes, and the movie continues to be released.

Entering the third week of its release, the box office results of "Don't Stop the Camera" continued to ride the dust, sweeping the films of the same schedule.

In the third week of the film's screening, "Don't Stop the Camera" attracted more than 690,000 viewers into theaters, and the cumulative box office viewers are getting closer and closer to 2 million.

But at the same time, it is inevitable that after experiencing the initial freshness, like a parabola, after reaching the peak, it will naturally tend to decline.

In the final analysis, the movie "Don't Stop the Camera" just wins with ideas and novelty, and there is a certain element of tricks, it is undeniable that this is a relatively good movie, but it is not the kind of film that will make the audience love it for two or even three times.

In the fourth week, the box office of "Don't Stop the Camera" fell off a cliff, and the number of moviegoers dropped by half compared to the third week, barely exceeding 360,000.

But despite this, Lee Seung-woo is already very satisfied.

Since its release on June 7, as of the end of June, "Don't Stop the Camera" has been released for a total of 23 days, and the cumulative box office results have exceeded 2 million viewers. This is already a perfect starting point for a fledgling director like him.

Not to mention that even with the production cost of 100 million won advertised on the surface, the return on investment of the movie is as high as nearly 130 times, and such a dazzling achievement is definitely a strong mark in the history of Korean films.

Of course.

Such an ROI must have shrunk a lot compared to the Japanese version of the previous life, but considering the different production costs, screening times and viewing backgrounds on the surface, such a rate of return is also extremely terrifying.

What's more, there is still more than a week before the official painting of the movie, and 2 million moviegoers is not the final box office.

S.M Company, Aetna and Office.

Looking at Lee Seung-woo, who was sitting quietly opposite, Ahn Tae-ho had a warm smile on his face.

Holding a cup of brewed coffee and handing it to Lee Seung-woo, Ahn Tae-ho sat down opposite Lee Seung-woo and said enviously: "Seungwoo, congratulations, the first movie can exceed 2 million movie box office, such a box office result is definitely one of the few among new directors of your age." ”

In South Korea, there are not many directors who have more than 2 million moviegoers in their first film, but it is not uncommon, but most of those directors have several years or even more than ten years of film and television experience, and they are basically around 30 years old. And Li Chengyou's age, especially his identity as a student, is definitely rare and even rare compared to those predecessors.

This is where Antai and admiration are made.

What makes An Taehe envious is that as the screenwriter, director and investor of the movie, Lee Seung-woo can be said to have both fame and fortune, and this movie alone can earn income that many people can't earn in a lifetime.

For a movie, box office copyright income is divided into divisible box office and non-divisible box office.

Among them, the indivisible box office means that all film income must first pay a special business tax of 3.3% and a special fund for the film industry, or a film fund development tax.

If you use the ledger formula to calculate it carefully, it is:

100% (box office) - 5% (film fund development tax) - 3.3% (tax) = 91.7% (box office can be shared).

Let's take a closer look at the movie "Don't Stop the Camera":

91.7% (separable box office) - 50% (theater share) - 12% (S.M company's publicity and distribution fee) = 29.7% (film income, investor income).

And Lee Seung-woo has reached 60% of the investment, that is, even if the current 2 million moviegoers are calculated, Lee Seung-woo can earn at least more than 2 billion won by virtue of the box office share of this movie.

What is the concept of 2 billion won, converted into Huaxia coins, that is, at least 12 million.

And this is only calculated based on the current box office performance of the box office copyright revenue share, if you add TV copyrights, network copyrights and possible overseas copyrights, Lee Seung-woo through the rough statistics of this movie, the minimum income can reach more than 3 billion won.

3 billion won, at least 18 million Chinese won, many people can't make so much money after working hard all their lives.

And Lee Seung-woo is only 23 years old, he hasn't even graduated from college, and he has earned a lot of income that many people can't expect in their lifetime after only shooting one movie. Even Antaihe. He has worked for so many years and has climbed to the position of manager of the film and television department of S.M Company, and his current savings are far lower than the income of Lee Seung-woo's film, so it is no wonder that An Taihe will be envious.

After admiring a sentence of envy, An Taihe sighed again: "Chengyou, I have to say that Brother Taihe has been in the industry for so many years, and there are very few young people who can be as good as you." ”

Again, it is not uncommon for peers in South Korea to earn so much from one investment, but it is definitely one in a million people like Lee Seung-woo who started from scratch without any background and made so much money in just a few months.

on this.

If Lee Seung-woo is not complacent at all, it is naturally impossible, but he knows his own affairs better, and he knows the root cause of his success.

And because of this.

You can be complacent, but you can't be arrogant.

Li Chengyou shook his head, smiled humbly, coped with a sentence, and then diverted the topic: "Brother Taihe, it's too famous, you praise me a few more words, my little body is about to float." Let's get down to business, you invited me here today not just to praise me, if there is anything you say, I will listen to it. ”

"Hehe, you......"

Antaihe laughed and laughed, paused, stopped talking nonsense, sat up straight, and asked frankly: "Chengyou, the movie will be drawn in another week, after the movie is drawn, do you have any plans for the next step?" ”

Li Chengyou's eyes moved slightly, he didn't answer, and smiled tentatively: "What do you suggest for Brother Taihe?" ”

An Taihe smiled: "What advice can I have, I want to ask you what you plan?" Are you planning to prepare for your next movie, or are you planning to take a break for a while? ”
