Chapter 44: Film Strategy

Liu Yi hugged Xiuying in his arms and said softly: "I can't deny these words, because that is equivalent to lying to you."

Xiuying's body shook for a moment, and tears couldn't help but flow out. But she tried hard to resist making a sound because she didn't want to show weakness in front of Liu Yi.

Liu Yi raised his hand, gestured to the shape of a heart, and said, "Each of you occupies a place in my heart. This place is big and small, but it is part of my heart. If the piece of Yoona is cut off, I will die. If the piece of you is cut off, I will die."

Liu Yi pinched Xiuying's face and said, "Is there a way in this world that you won't die if you cut less in your heart? Why don't I know?"

"I will coax people." Xiuying said with a blank look at Liu Yi.

After hearing what Liu Yi said, Xiuying had no little mind in her heart. She pushed Liu Yi's hand away and stood up, took his hand and said, "Let's go, let's go out for dinner."

"Does there be no ingredients in the refrigerator? I'll make it for you."

Sooyoung bit her lip embarrassedly and said, "How could there be ingredients in my refrigerator? There are a lot of snacks. We are going out for dinner now. I will go to the airport with the kids in a while. There will be a performance in Busan tonight."

"By the way, Busan--" Liu Yi sighed: "Why am I so lucky? I still don't have time today. I really want to see a concert."

"There are many opportunities in the future. Besides, tonight is just a meeting. In less than two hours, I will be back in the evening." Xiuying picked up her bag, dragged Liu Yi's hand, and said, "Hurry up, time is too late-"

"What do you want to eat?"

"steak."

"Why?"

"Because you've eaten with Taeyeon."

Liu Yi smiled bitterly: "Choi Sooyoung, why do you know everything? Is it interesting to be jealous?"

Movies are the "supreme" existence in the entertainment industry, especially in the Korean entertainment industry.

After several years of hard work, a trainee finally debuted as a member of the group. He became an idol singer. Is this my dream come true?

No. Of course not.

This is just the starting point. While being an idol singer, they are thinking about how to become a solo singer. Solo singers are not their ultimate dream. They want to become actors. If they have the opportunity to star in a TV series, no matter how small or unimportant supporting role it is, 99% of people will choose to participate, and even miss the concert.

Why is this happening? The answer is very simple. The status of an actor is much higher than that of a singer. I don’t know how many TV series it is, and when you become older, you can’t make it as an idol, it is a good time to become an actor.

But is it the purpose of starring in a TV series? Of course, it is not.

The production of TV series is of varying quality, long and boring, difficult conditions, and limited rewards. And even supporting roles have to standby on the set, and because they become monks halfway through, they are often looked down upon by actors with "pure blood" and are bullied. In fact, this is just a path that idols have to choose for themselves. It is not a good thing, and it is also a hard work.

But if you can become a movie actor, it would be completely different.

Film actors have a high status in South Korea, and are the first among all artists. Even when national MCs meet guests as "national actors", they have to be cautious in their words and actions, because national actors have no fewer fans than national MCs. Moreover, South Korea is a country with a particularly strong national character. If a certain film wins any award abroad, even if the people in China don't like to watch it, the box office will definitely not be low. Because there are only two or three theaters in South Korea, it does not rank other films, and you have to choose other films if you want to watch it. TV series is not good. Even if it is a good TV series, it will not be possible to win awards abroad. Moreover, looking at the world entertainment industry, movies are stable and TV series.

For actors, there are countless advantages of movies. First of all, the cycle of movies is generally shorter than that of TV series, and the reward is several times higher than that of TV series. Not to mention the treatment of crew members, it is almost as good as lunch boxes and restaurants. Actors who can play movies are all starring in the crew, and bullying is almost impossible. If you accidentally win any award, the Avenue of Stars is just around the corner.

There is another place that reflects the difference between movie actors. Today, when Korean variety shows are so developed, pure movie actors rarely appear in variety shows. It’s not that they don’t need popularity, but that the popularity that can help increase can be small and almost negligible. A successful movie actor, a movie a year or two, can earn several times more than the idol who has been announced throughout the year. This is also the main reason why idols are so popular with movies. It is really disproportionate.

If Chengbeidong is a noble circle of the rich Korean class, then movie actors are the aristocratic circle of Korean artists, and they are the existence that countless people yearn for but cannot find a way out.

What causes this is not only the requirements for acting by movie actors, but the theater chain is in the hands of a few companies, and the industry has become a monopoly.

There are many rich people in this world, and it doesn’t cost much to make a movie, but why do some people make money and some people pay as much as they invest? The main reason here is that you don’t know the channels.

No matter how good the film is, the theaters cannot make money without being a show. What are the good and bad movies? In this commercial society, only those who can make money can be praised for being good movies. Those high-end movies that use countless shooting techniques to talk about moral integrity will definitely be bad movies without box office!

Liu Yitou, the Excellent Asian theater chain, is to integrate channels and then use big data analysis to find the actors that the audience is most looking forward to, find professional screenwriters, write the audience's favorite scripts, what is bloody or not? The plot is crazy or not, it is completely out of consideration. Everything is done according to the data direction, and it is done as long as it is sold for money. This is also very consistent with the slogan of Excellent Asian theater chain and makes the best commercial movies.

What is business? Naturally, it is to make money. Many people are doing the same thing, but they are not doing it well enough, investing too much, and lack the courage and courage to make a bet. This is not to say that those successful industry insiders are stupid and cannot see these, but they are too smart. Now they are overlords, and the rules in the industry are determined by them. No matter how you shoot, you are making money, why do you have to invest so much to do something that cannot increase your income?

Zhuo Yue and Zhuoyue are also smart people. They think that they invest too much, so it might be good to protect their capital in this way, and it is difficult to make money. However, with Liu Yi's persistence and huge amount of capital injection, they were forced to change their minds and accept Liu Yi's plan.

Liu Yi's plan is not complicated. Simply put, it is to "one into two tactics". A movie costs one-half of the funds to shoot, while the previous big data collection, planning, and post-promotion costs one-half of the remaining one-half. What he wants is not a movie, but a series of movies, like a factory assembly line, to capture a pain point in the audience, hold it down, and the pain is extremely painful!

This is extremely risky. If you fail, you will lose all the money. It is more like a big gamble than a business. Liu Yi likes to do such crazy things. His thinking is not understandable by normal people, and he will not do it like him. But until now, it has proven that he can win most of the time.

—————

After returning from Gimpo Airport, Liu Yi came directly to the Korean headquarters of Zhuoyue Cinema. He was treated coldly when he went to find him in the summer. In the past few days, he squatted in the laboratory and occasionally remembered it and realized that it was his own problem. So today he specifically asked the depp to come over and take the initiative to talk about these things, and then he came over and took a look "unintentionally" and did not participate in any discussions, but just came over and took a look "unintentionally".

The macho problems cannot be changed at any time, especially for Xiatian, it is always difficult for him to say "sorry" or "sorry". This feeling is similar to parents' children, and it is difficult to speak many words. Perhaps it is a bit inappropriate to describe this, but for Liu Yi, Xiatian is not only his friend, but also his sister and his student. He spares no effort when he cultivates Xiatian. If there is someone closest to his thinking in this world, that person must be Xiatian.

Now that Xia Tian has left, there are a lot of trouble for Liu Yi. If Xia Tian is still there, he doesn't need to do many things personally. But he doesn't feel regretful, because he also knows that it's better for Xia Tian to be by his side, whether in terms of feelings or her future plans.

In order to facilitate the "inadvertent" passing by, he asked Depp to arrange the conversation in a cafe opposite Zhuoyue Cinema. Before coming, Liu Yi had already received a text message from Depp. He knew where they were doing. He came in and glanced and found out. He remained silent, ordered a cup of coffee, and took the booth next to Xia Tian and others.

Depp didn't see him, he and Xia Tian and Zhuoyue were talking about these things. He and Zhuoyue were good friends, and there was no situation where Liu Yi and Zhuoyue quarreled without dealing with the three words. Xia Tian and Depp were old friends for many years. She had known Depp as long as she had officially known Liu Yi. The three of them got together, and they were all young people. They were talking about the goal of working together. How could they not be speculative? The more they talked about, they became happier. Especially when they mentioned some topics about Liu Yi, the three of them even "putting on the wrong side". When they talked about excitement, Zhuoyue laughed. Liu Yi looked back at the voice, and smiled so much that his back teeth were exposed.

Liu Yi sat next to the detachment, feeling so angry that he beat the table and muttered: "I laugh so much that I still talked about aristocrats with me. How can I joke..."

Suddenly the laughter came to an abrupt end. Liu Yi suddenly felt a sudden heart and hurriedly grabbed the magazine next to him to block his face, but it was too late - (To be continued)
