Chapter 253: Counting in One Fell Swoop (800 Monthly Pass Plus Update)
Nothing was said all night.
Following.
Park Ji-yeon's matter was solved, Kim Ji-yoon's side made another break, and Lee Seung-woo woke up from sleep, and he didn't bother to worry about these things anymore, and put his energy into the movie again.
"The Unspeakable Secret" has been confirmed to be released on Christmas Eve on December 24, and it is now September, with three months to go.
Three months is not a long time, not a short time.
After the post-production of the film is completed, the publicity work is on the agenda.
Corporate, conference room.
After calling Ahn Tae-wha and communicating with Kim Tae-min, the head of CJ, about the publicity work, it was already noon, and the two of them went to a restaurant near the company to eat together.
On the dinner table.
Talking while eating, smiling and smiling.
Halfway through eating, Kim Tae-min's voice changed, and he suddenly asked with a smile: "Seungwoo, now the movie has been completed, and there are still three months before the release, I don't know if Seungwoo has any other arrangements during this time?" ”
Li Chengyou's eyes moved slightly, and he couldn't help laughing: "Brother Taimin has something to say, we have known each other for so long, Brother Taimin can just say it directly, and the foreshadowing seems to be separated." ”
Kim Taemin smiled, "That's fine." Knowing that you like to go straight, then Brother Taemin has something to say. After a pause, "Actually, I just want to send a message to ask for your opinion first." - tvN cable station courtesy you know, right? ”
Lee Seung-woo nodded.
tvN is CJ Entertainment's cable entertainment channel, which provides viewers with entertainment programs such as drama, music, travel, and fashion. Unlike wireless stations such as KBS, SBS, MBC, etc., cable stations have to pay to watch most of them, except for a few free channels, so they are very different from wireless stations in terms of influence and number of viewers.
Kim Taemin said with a smile: "Chengyou's previous screenwriter and director's "I Want to See You" exceeded 30% of the ratings as soon as it was released, becoming one of the 'national TV dramas', and the creation of the entire script was completed in a very short time. As you know, tvN is also owned by CJ Corporation, and it would be a shame and stupid to have a 'screenwriter' like you in front of you. ”
After a pause, Kim Taemin smiled again: "You have been busy with movies before, and you can't spare time, so I didn't mention it at that time." Now that the movie is over, you don't have to bother with all aspects of publicity in the future, I wonder if Chengyou is interested in creating another record and occupying a place on the ratings list of cable stations? ”
Lee Seung-woo: "......"
Good guys, this is starting to draw the pie?
As soon as he opened his mouth, he set a record and occupied the list, which was tempting him with a false name.
But.
Don't say it, it's really a coincidence.
After being triggered by Yoo In-na's memory last night, Lee Seung-woo was thinking about whether to make the drama "Ghost", but it happened that Kim Taemin mentioned it at the moment, and Lee Seung-woo made a decision after thinking for a while.
Looking at Kim Tae-min, Lee Seung-woo pretended to hesitate, as if he was struggling with whether to agree, and after a long time, in Kim Tae-min's expectant eyes, Lee Seung-woo smiled dumbly and nodded: "Since Brother Taemin has spoken, he even drew me such a record-breaking cake, and I want to say that there is no intention at all, then it must be fake." After a pause, Lee Seung-woo said, "But Brother Taemin also knows that I don't like to shoot TV dramas while filming, so the script creation is incomplete, which affects the quality of the script very much, and it also delays time too much."
So tvN wants to cooperate with me, I can say yes, but it must be produced in advance, filmed intensively, and broadcast in its entirety after the production of the TV series is completed. ”
Seeing Kim Taemin's hesitation, Lee Seung-woo smiled again: "Of course, I won't embarrass Brother Taemin." So be it. It just so happened that I wasn't busy for the next while, so I took the time to write the full script first. After reading the script, let's discuss it in detail, what do you think? ”
With all that said, what else can Kim Taemin say, he can only smile and nod.
The matter was confirmed, the dinner was over, and the two sides said goodbye.
Although it was a little strange that Lee Seung-woo suddenly agreed to cooperate with CJ in the TV series Ahn Tae-h, he did not raise any objections.
I have known Lee Seung-woo for so long and have cooperated several times, and I still have a lot of trust in Lee Seung-woo's ability to write scripts. What's more, the company is a film and television production company, and in addition to movies, TV series are also one of the businesses. After the establishment of the company, if there is a TV series with high word-of-mouth and ratings, it will be of great help to the company's publicity and attract well-known actors.
And because of this.
As for cooperating with CJ in TV dramas, Ahn Tae-hwa has no objection.
And Lee Seung-woo?
Of course, they also have their own ideas.
The reason why he agreed to Kim Tae-min was that he was originally thinking about producing the drama "Ghost", and he promised Kim Taemin that he could not only sell CJ a favor, but also deepen the cooperation between the two sides, and also generate revenue for the company and make a name for himself, which is a triple win for Lee Seung-woo.
The second is that people can't escape the word fame and fortune if they live for a lifetime. Lee Seung-woo is a layman, so naturally he is inevitable.
As Kim Taemin said before, "I Want to See You" has an audience rating of more than 30%, and it has become one of the "national TV dramas" in one fell swoop. And the ratings of "Ghost" Lee Seung-woo also knew about it in his previous life, with the highest rating exceeding 20%, and such a high rating is one of the few among cable TV stations.
Moreover, the drama "Ghost" is also one of the few "phenomenal" TV dramas in South Korea, which not only caused heated discussions in South Korea, but also received a bumper harvest in word-of-mouth and ratings, and was also touted in Asia, even Europe and the United States.
is such a classic work, Lee Seung-woo will naturally not let it go.
You can make money and make a name for yourself for the company, so why not?
What's more, the production of "Ghost" is also conducive to tying up with the subsequent movie "Train to Busan", and relying on the popularity of "Ghost", maybe it can continue to increase the box office of "Train to Busan".
The male protagonist of "Ghost" is played by Kong Liu, and the male protagonist of "Train to Busan" is also Kong Liu, as long as the marketing is done well, the effect of one plus one will definitely be greater than two.
Of course.
The premise is that after the script creation of the movie and TV series is completed, Lee Seung-woo can convince Kong Yoo to star.
As for whether you can convince Kong Liu? Lee Seung-woo is not worried.
After the release of "The Unspeakable Secret", as long as the box office results are not too bad - in terms of the popularity of this movie among Koreans in the previous life, it is basically impossible for this kind of accident - Kong Liu sees the linkage between TV series and movies, as long as he is not too stupid, the probability of inviting him to successfully star is still very high.
After all, in his previous life, Kong Liu agreed to appear in these two works, which shows that he is still very optimistic about the script.
Take a step back.
Even if Kong Liu doesn't agree to act, it doesn't matter.
Whether it is the success of the TV series or the movie, it is more about the excellence of the script itself, not in a certain actor, without Kong Liu, Lee Seung-woo can also find other relatively suitable actors.
That's right.
"Ghost" can also invite Liu Renna to star, which happens to repay Liu Renna's favor for helping him on IU's birthday last time.
That's it.
It's not three wins with one stone, but one thing at a time.
And.
"I Want to See You" became a hit on wireless stations, "Ghosts" became a hit on cable stations, and after the production of "Ghosts", Lee Seung-woo does not plan to direct TV series anymore.
That's exactly what I said.
Although my brother has left the rivers and lakes, the rivers and lakes must leave the legend of my brother.
This is one of the reasons why Lee Seung-woo decided to agree to CJ.
Man.
There's always a bit of pursuit, no.
