Chapter Eighty-Four: Pick-up?

Looking at the audition list, none of them did he know!

In addition to Zhang Ruixi, she is the starring role of "Miss Mermaid".

"Miss Mermaid" was broadcast on CCTV that year, 164 episodes of TV series, he... The chase is over!

Since then, I haven't chased more than fifty episodes of a TV series...

Actually, now that I think about it, the story of "Miss Mermaid" is not so profound, it is a typical bloody drama of revenge and then being touched by love, but I just liked it at the time, even if there is no story progress in many episodes, the actors eat one meal at a time, and chatter sentence by sentence, I think it is very interesting...

It's probably called powder!

The so-called childhood memory: what you like gives you a feeling, makes up your memory, and participates in your life.

If you develop to the limit, you will be called a brain fan!

Fortunately, after Shen Mengxi learned screenwriting, he knew what was going on: it didn't end without the progress of the story, it was completely because of the high ratings, and the TV station was reluctant to finish!

Once you understand this, you don't feel like you used to feel it at all...

Zhang Ruixi then moved to China, originally wanted to emulate his junior Zhang Nara and come to China to make money, but unfortunately, he didn't catch up with the good time, although he participated in works such as "Master Lin in Seoul" and "The Legend of Heroes of the Sui and Tang Dynasties", but none of them were popular...

went back to South Korea to shoot a low-paying Japanese drama...

Shen Mengxi directly ordered her to play the female number one in "The Temptation of Wife", and said to the production minister: "I know this woman, the starring role of "Miss Mermaid"!"

“... Writer Shen also knows "Miss Mermaid"?"

"CCTV has broadcast it before..."

“CCTV?”

"For a while, Korean dramas were popular on Chinese TV..."

"Oh... What about the other characters?"

"You can do the rest, I don't know much about the Korean TV industry..."

The preliminary circles are all the leading actors, and then the supporting roles...

Japanese dramas, not only Japanese dramas, Korean TV dramas are filmed and broadcast at the same time, so after selecting the actors, there will be a script reading meeting.

Japanese dramas are relatively unique, and when they first started filming, they generally only filmed 5 episodes. The participating actors are men and women, and there will be no grandiose and special scenes.

When the five episodes began to be broadcast, the crew also began to count the market's reactions, such as ratings, the audience's preferences for the characters in the play, the audience's willingness to develop the plot in the play, and so on.

If the TV station feels that the market reaction is not good, it can stop broadcasting.

Due to the low cost, the loss is also small if the broadcast is stopped.

If the market responds well, we will continue to shoot at the same time.

Generally, for dramas broadcast this week, watch information is collected this week, and at the same time, according to the audience's preferences, the content of the next week is filmed, or the content filmed in advance is deleted, modified and supplemented, etc.

Shen Mengxi's script, only the first thirty episodes are more detailed, and the rest is basically just an outline - the general plot direction...

......

"The Temptation of the Wife" is a family drama, and it is a family drama with the wife's revenge as the main line, and it is impossible to add other characters in the first few episodes, let alone stuff idols.

Generally speaking, only after the ratings of Japanese dramas have stabilized, will they add characters and other subplots.

Fill the water, it's all like this!

There is no report on the start of filming of this drama in South Korea - it will take at least a month from the determination of the actors to the reading of the script, the start of filming, and the broadcast.

Shen Mengxi didn't need to stare at the whole process, screenwriters No. 1 and No. 2 came to stare at the progress of the project.

When the time is right, he will take the initiative to contact Song Qian and ask her to go to this show to hone her acting skills, just to experience the life of an actor...

Of course, these have to wait for the start of "The Temptation of Wife".

In the past few days, in addition to auditioning actors with the SBS TV drama production department, he also found Xijie Entertainment and set up a studio, which is affiliated with Xijie...

After all, South Korea is a chaebol-dominated society, how can we make a name for ourselves here?

Embrace the chaebol, of course!

If you can't beat it, let's join...

You always have to hug your thighs, and of course pick up the thickest one!

Anyway, he laid out South Korea just to make money...

A week passed quickly, and Shen Mengxi flew back to Beijing by plane.

At this time, "Rose Red Lotus" was released just over the weekend...

......

The total cost of "Red Lotus" is 3 billion won, and the profit and loss point is 1.2 million viewers.

The profit and loss point means the cost line, which means that after 1.2 million moviegoers, even if the capital is guaranteed.

Of course, the overseas promotion of Korean films has been very good in recent years, and "Rose Red Lotus" is a horror genre film, and some countries in Southeast Asia will be released simultaneously - the most important CGV cinema chain under Xijie Entertainment is awesome, and the top three cinema brands in Asia!

Through the acquisition of local leading cinema chains, it has successively entered the markets of Vietnam, Indonesia, Myanmar and Turkey, and occupies a high proportion of market share.

Not to mention the global synchronization of people's distribution strength, at least the whole of Southeast Asia can still do it!

"Rose Red Lotus" has not yet been released, and the copyright and distribution rights of many places have been sold - largely because of Qiao Mei.

In fact, Xigenedu's box office expectation for "Rose Red Lotus" is 2 million viewers.

That's a high prediction!

Pure thriller and horror themes can only be regarded as niche in the field of Korean films, and the number one box office is still "The Strange Tale of the High School", which has been watched by 2.5 million people...

The ceiling ceiling is here!

The 10 billion won I said before to create "Rose Flower Red Lotus" is just joke and publicity!

10 billion won, 4.3 million moviegoers, only to be considered capital preservation!

Xijie Media is not a fool, how can it be possible to make a horror film with an investment of more than 10 billion won?

How does he make money?

3 billion won, which is already very high!

Therefore, the nearly 1.5 million viewers of "Rose Red Lotus" in the first three days of the first weekend directly shocked the entire Xijie Media!

South Korea's box office market is relatively stable, and generally speaking, the first weekend results are about one-third of the total box office.

Wouldn't the total box office of "Rose Flower Red Lotus" be 4.5 million viewers?

Earn over!

And it temporarily ranks first at the box office of Korean films of the year.

......

Shen Mengxi listened to Xu Renhou say this, and asked suspiciously: "Temporarily ranked first?Is the Korean film market so miserable this year?"

“... It's very bleak, Quan Duyan won "Miryang" after Cannes, and the number of moviegoers was only 1.6 million..."

Xu Renhou, on behalf of Xijie Media, followed Shen Mengxi to China, on the one hand, to report the relevant information of "Rose Red Lotus", and on the other hand, he also came to sign a contract.

The copyrights of "Hide and Seek" and "Examination to Death" are registered in Shen Mengxi Studio, and they need to be authorized to develop them.

However, this year's Korean movies are really miserable, there is only one movie with more than 5 million viewers in the whole year, or the big bad movie "Dragon War"...

It's normal, and the film market also has a difference between a big year and a small year.

This year just caught up with the downturn...

"Rose Red Lotus" is a good time!

"How do you advertise it?"

""Rose Red Lotus" itself is a big IP, and the movie itself is good, so there are a lot of audiences that can be mobilized..."

"That's right... I get it. ”

Shen Mengxi didn't know how to promote Korean films, he stayed for a few days, and he was basically busy auditioning for "Wife's Temptation"...

“... Producer Shen, actor of "Hide and Seek"..."

"I want Sun Hyun Joo for the male protagonist, you choose the heroine, by the way, I don't want Song Hye Kyo!"

"But Song Hye Kyo said in an interview..."

"No matter what she says, I don't like her!"

Xu Renhou made a note of this sentence and shut up...

Seoul is just over an hour's flight from Beijing, and soon arrived at the airport, Shen Mengxi got off the plane with Xu Renhou with his suitcase.

At the exit of the airport, he saw a row of media reporters with long guns and short cannons, and he didn't pay much attention.

It is estimated that which Hong Kong star came to Beijing to promote...

This year, except for Hong Kong stars who have such a style, mainland actors, no one can!

"Shen Mengxi is out!"

With a somewhat high-pitched voice, the group of reporters directly surrounded Shen Mengxi...
