Chapter 1528 Investment cooperation?

"Haha, Yufan, aren't you busy?" Seeing Kim Yufan stand up and obviously not working, Li Xiangyu closed the door and walked towards Kim Yufan: "I have something to talk to Yufan, but I'm worried that you are still working. I'm very careful, but I didn't expect you to find him."

"Haha, brother, I'm not doing anything. When I'm idle, the door will open, so of course I will develop." Kim Yu-fan said with a smile, and then came to the sofa in the studio with Li Xiangyu and sat down.

"Brother, what's the matter?" Kim Yu-fan asked directly as soon as he sat down.

Li Xiangyu also knew Kim Yu-hwan's personality, not to mention that Lee Xiangyu himself was also very straightforward, so he didn't feel that Kim Yu-hwan's inquiry was very sudden, but instead went straight into the working state.

"That's right. Showbox plans to produce a big-produced costume drama, so I hope our MC company can also participate. Because of this, the person in charge of Showbox has called me to ask me what I mean. So this time I came here to ask Yufan, you, do we really want to cooperate with Showbox?"

"Showbox?" Kim Yu-fan was stunned for a moment, then frowned and began to think about this matter carefully.

You should know that in the Korean film industry, Showbox is definitely an awesome existence. Although Showbox is mainly a film company that publishes movies, Showbox does have strong strength and energy, and also includes strong connections.

Not only Korean mainland, but even overseas movies, if you want to be released in South Korea, Showbox is definitely one of the best choice partners. You should know that some time ago, the movie "The Thieves Alliance" of MC was actually a collaboration between MC and Showbox, and it was left to Showbox to be fully responsible for the release and release of the film.

In addition to saying that MC was very busy at that time and did not have enough people and energy to spend the release and promotion of the movie "Rogue of Thieves", Showbox's own strength and ability are also one of the biggest reasons why MC company chose to cooperate with Showbox.

Now Showbox comes to the door and plans to cooperate with MC Company to let MC Company participate in a large-scale movie produced by Showbox, Kim Yu-fan has to be cautious and consider this.

Although Showbox is a film distribution company, Showbox's strength cannot be underestimated. It also has actors and has enough funds to make movies by itself. To put it bluntly, it is completely capable of making movies by itself.

But now, Showbox actually came to seek cooperation. Thinking that Showbox is a movie distribution company with its own production ability, and in this case, it will also seek cooperation from MC companies. Kim Yu-fan only had two thoughts in his mind.

The first is that Showbox deliberately uses this method to allow MC companies to participate in this big-scale movie. To put it bluntly, it is to give MC companies some benefits and benefits, and establish a good relationship with MC companies, which can facilitate better cooperation between the two parties in the future.

Secondly, Showbox is indeed very optimistic about this movie, but there is really no way, or it is impossible to determine what the performance of this big production will be and what the box office will be. Therefore, Showbox chose to invite outsiders to participate in the production of this movie. To put it bluntly, it is risk sharing.

As for Showbox not having enough funds to invest in this movie, it is obviously impossible. Given the current situation of Korean movies, even if there are tens of billions of won, Showbox can still get the money of tens of billions of won.

Even if Showbox cannot be used for the time being, and the investment in other aspects has not yet been recovered, based on Showbox's connections and relationships, it is really necessary to raise tens of billions of won funds. Whether it is to borrow from someone or borrow from a bank, these are all without problems. There is no need for MC companies to invest.

Thinking of this, Kim Yu-fan asked, "What does Showbox mean? What is the way to cooperate?"

There are many types of cooperation, including actor cooperation, crew cooperation, and fund cooperation. Moreover, MC Company is also a music agency. It is even said that its strength in music is much stronger than that in the film and television industry, and the two parties can also cooperate in OST films.

"The other party is planning to let us invest some money, and at the same time, we hope that our MC company can work in film and music." Li Xiangyu asked lightly: "Yufan, don't you know what you mean?"

"There is no problem with music. Zhao Hege's employees who composers and lyrics are still competent, but the question is how much money we need to invest in Showbox?" Kim Yu-fan continued to ask.

Li Xiangyu: "3 billion to 5 billion won."

"So much?" Kim Yu-fan was stunned for a moment, looking at Lee Min-woo in disbelief.

With 3 billion to 5 billion won, even if the movie produced by Showbox this time is a big production with 10 billion won, then MC's investment of 5 billion won is basically half the proportion. This is completely impossible in normal circumstances.

Look at other film production companies, even if they invite others to invest in for risk sharing, it is basically impossible to see half of the funds being taken over by the other party. Half of the benefits can be given up, but this benefit will never be given to one person, but to many people, or even to a certain proportion of many parties.

The reason is very simple. I invested in the movie. I give you a certain share, and that was given to you. Many of you eat this share. This is normal. It is not as large as mine anyway, but you will never give all the shares given to one person. Then wouldn’t the other party be similar to you, or even as much as you, how can this be done?

I have worked hard to invest, find directors, screenwriters, actors and crew members. I have spent a lot of time and effort and have to spend half of the money. You don’t need to do anything, you just need to take out the money to get a share similar to mine. If anyone is, it’s uncomfortable.

To put it bluntly, this is human nature. If you give 50 yuan to others for one hundred yuan, if you give this fifty yuan to five, each of the five people will get ten yuan. This is nothing. But if you give this fifty yuan to one person, the other party will have as much money as you, and anyone will feel uncomfortable. Why, why can you get as much money as me?

Well~~~ Although it is a movie investment, although no one knows it, there is no guarantee that this movie will be a big hit.

"Yes, the other party plans to invest 8 billion won this time. Although we are allowed to invest 3 billion to 5 billion won, I guess the other party only plans to invest 3 billion won in his heart, or even less. As for the 4 billion won to be equal to the other party, or even 5 billion won to surpass the other party, this is obviously impossible."

Kim Yu-fan nodded. This is normal. After a while of thinking and silence, Kim Yu-fan asked the most critical question: "Brother, what kind of movie is it? Who are the directors and screenwriters? What are the main actors?"

"I'm not very clear about the specifics. The other party has this plan, and at the same time, we also asked with tentative questions whether we were involved. Judging from the current understanding, the director has not yet decided, and the starring actor is being selected. It is said that Showbox will work hard to convince Song Kang-ho to be the starring actor. The screenwriter is a newcomer named Kim Dong-hyuk, who was the winning work of the script competition held by the Korean Film Revitalization Committee in 2010. It is said that the judges at that time appreciated the script very much, and all said that it was an excellent movie script."

The winning work of the script competition held by the Korean Film Revitalization Committee in 2010 is also a newcomer named Kim Dong Hyuk, and a movie that Showbox intends to invest in, preparing to invite Song Kang-ho to be the protagonist...

Thinking of this, a movie gradually came to Kim Yu-fan's mind. If Showbox really made this movie this time, then not to mention anything else, at least there is no problem with this investment. At least there is some profit, and it can also establish a good cooperative relationship with Showbox, which is really good.

"It's OK to cooperate, but you can ask Showbox, or ask the other party to send someone over and talk to me carefully. You can't cooperate if Showbox says it's a cooperation, or invest if it's a investment. Now I don't even know who the director is, how about the script, or the actors. How could I invest in a stupid and billion won in the dark? This is impossible."

Li Xiangyu nodded in agreement: "Well, I mean that's the same. Don't worry, Yufan, the other party is planning to come over and have a detailed discussion with us. Since you have this idea, then I will notify the other party?"

"Well, okay." Kim Yu-fan nodded: "Showbox is still very powerful and related in the movie circle. Being able to cooperate with Showbox and establish good relationships is also beneficial to our MC company. Secondly, the company currently has sufficient funds. As long as the script is good and you can invest, the company will not be stingy with the money in your hands. After all, investing money, this way of making money is the fastest and most profitable."

Li Xiangyu nodded in agreement and then stood up: "Since that's the case, then I'll inform the other party to return."

"Well, okay, then, you can invite the guests to the first floor conference room of the Film and Television Department building, and I will come over at that time." Kim Yu-fan stood up and said with a smile.

"Yes!" Li Xiangyu responded, then turned around and left in a very casual manner.

As Lee Xiang-woo left, Kim Yu-hwan was not in a hurry, but continued to sit back on the chair and began to continue to decompose the song "I Really Pain" by T-ara's mini album, "I Really Pain", and then break down the entire song and see how to arrange it for the nine members of T-ara.

To be honest, Kim Yu-fan is a little confused about the song "I Really Pain". Whether it is the title of "I Really Pain" or the lyrics of "I Really Pain" seems to be the same, and the meaning is the same.

After about forty minutes, Kim Yu-hwan received a call from Li Xiangyu, then stopped working, took the songs into the safe, and then walked towards the conference room of the film and television building.

When Kim Yu-fan came to the conference room on the first floor of the film and television building, he found that there were five people sitting in the conference room including Li Xiangyu.

As Kim Yu-hwan opened the door and arrived, the people in the conference room also noticed Kim Yu-hwan's arrival. Everyone stood up quickly and began to bow and say hello to Kim Yu-hwan.

Perhaps Kim Yu-fan is not very old, but he is a real MC president. This identity and status are enough to make many people in the entertainment industry take the initiative to bow to Kim Yu-fan and say hello.

"Hello, President Kim, I am Kim Woo-jae, the producer of Showbox in this movie." A middle-aged man in his forties stood up and extended his hand to Kim Yu-fan with a smile on his face and introduced himself.

"Haha, hello, welcome." Kim Yu-fan looked at Kim Woo-jae carefully. Being able to become a producer of Showbox in such a large production is enough to prove Kim Woo-jae's strength and his status in Showbox.

For example, such a large investment in production does not mean that it can be held if it is related to Showbox. After all, if you lose money, what if you lose money, who can take responsibility? Therefore, the production with a small investment is also forgotten, but once it is a large investment in production, the experience and ability of the producer is unquestionable, otherwise Showbox would not have allowed Kim Woo-jae to serve as the producer.

"Hello, President Kim, I am Han Jae-lin, the director of this movie."

"Hello, President Kim, I am Kim Dong Hyuk, the screenwriter of this movie."

"Hello, President Kim, I am Song Kang-ho, the starring actor of this movie."

"Haha, hello." Kim Yu-fan bowed and greeted everyone, and finally came to Song Kang-ho and said in surprise: "Dafa, I didn't expect that Showbox would invite Brother Kang-ho to be the protagonist this time. It seems that Showbox is lower than this movie and is really confident and optimistic. And this movie must be very good, otherwise Brother Kang-ho, you won't take on this script."

You know, Song Kang-ho, Choi Min-sik, and Xue Jingqiu are the three main players in the Korean film industry, and their status is equivalent to the once double-month position of the Hong Kong film industry.

In the Korean film industry, basically as long as one of the three major players is the starring actor, the box office of this movie will definitely not be bad, and there will definitely be many movie fans looking forward to going to the cinema to watch the movie.

The three troikas also know their own situation. They finally achieved their current status and achievements, and gradually formed an influence and reputation. Of course, they cannot be destroyed at will. Therefore, when choosing scripts, the three are also very cautious. If they are not good scripts, they would rather not shoot them. This is the principle and bottom line of choosing scripts for three.

Therefore, seeing that Song Kang-ho has also become the male lead of the movie invested by Showbox, Kim Yu-fan also knew that the movie invested by Showbox will definitely not be bad, at least in terms of scripts, it will definitely not be bad.

"Haha, President Kim, you are so polite. When will you be honored? Let's work with President Kim?" Song Kang-ho is not Choi Min-sik, and his temper is not that bad. Among the three horses, Song Kang-ho is the most sleek person. In addition, he is not very familiar with Kim Yu-fan, so Song Kang-ho has always respected Kim Yu-fan very much and dared not say anything.

This is also Song Kanghao. If it were Choi Minzhi, Yufan would have called out a long time ago. How could he be like Song Kanghao or President Jin? Well, what, you say Xue Jingqiu, okay, if it was Xue Jingqiu, I guess a word would not be popped up for a long time. Many people joked that Xue Jingqiu said much more in the play than in daily life. Although this is a joke, it is enough to prove that Xue Jingqiu is more introverted.

"Haha, it is also my honor to be able to cooperate with Brother Kang Hao. Next time I have the chance, as long as Brother Kang Hao, you have time, I will definitely cooperate with Brother Kang Hao." Kim Yu-fan is also very happy to cooperate with Song Kang Hao. After all, Song Kang Hao is one of the three major players in South Korea. Whether it is his acting skills or the box office guarantee in Korea, it is very good. It is absolutely fine to collaborate with Song Kang Hao in a movie.

After a few simple conversations, everyone sat down one after another. As soon as Kim Yu-fan sat down, he said directly: "Showbox plans to cooperate with our MC company. Our MC company is also willing to cooperate with Showbox, but in terms of scripts, we must watch them. At least we must understand the script to decide whether to cooperate with you. Of course, if you are not at ease, we can sign a confidentiality contract first."

Kim Woo-jae laughed: "Haha, President Kim, don't worry, this is what you should do. After all, I don't understand the script and no one will invest in it. As for confidentiality contracts, there is no need for this. We completely believe that President Kim, your character, will never reveal the script."

Speaking of this, Kim Woo-jae turned his head and looked at Kim Dong-hyuk and tried a look for Kim Dong-hyuk. After seeing Kim Woo-jae's eyes, Kim Dong-hyuk immediately reacted. The alliance stood up and handed the script over with both hands: "President Kim, this is the script, you can take a look first."

"Well, then, I'll take a look first." Kim Yu-fan didn't say nonsense, picked up the script and started reading it.

When Kim Yu-fan saw the two words "Viewing the Face" at the top of the script at first glance, Kim Yu-fan couldn't help but laugh. That's right, it seems that the movie "Viewing the Face" has a box office of 9 million viewers in South Korea.

If the box office is calculated based on the number of viewers, the investor of the movie "Seeing the Scene" can get 36 billion won in revenue, and Kim Yu-hwan only needs to account for half, which is also 18 billion won. Even if he invested 5 billion won, he would even have to have so much, and he could get three times the revenue in less than a year. Of course, Kim Yu-hwan would not miss this kind of good thing, let alone refuse.
