Chapter 1992 film investment

Kim Yu-fan naturally believed Hong Seung-sung 100%, so after getting Hong Seung-sung's guarantee, Kim Yu-fan didn't talk nonsense anymore. After simply confirming with Hong Seung-sung, he asked Hong Seung-sung to go back and rest first. Kim Yu-fan went to the MC Film and Television Department and came to a conference room. He saw that the senior executives of the MC Film and Television Department were present, and Kim Yu-fan didn't talk nonsense either.

"Okay, since everyone has arrived, let's have a good talk now. What are your opinions and opinions on the film production plan of our MC Film and Television Department in 2013?"

Kim Yu-fan looked at Li Xiangyu: "Okay, let's not mention the scripts created by our company's own screenwriters for the time being. Let me ask you first, is there any director or screenwriter outside? Are you looking for our MC Film and Television Department with a good script?"

As the MC Film and Television Department is becoming more and more influential, especially every film produced has achieved great success, it is now gradually gaining fame.

More importantly, the MC Film and Television Department is rich and powerful. As long as you confirm that your script is powerful, the director has the skills and the main actors in the crew have no problem with acting skills, then the MC Film and Television Department will give you generous expenses for shooting. Basically, except for a staff member who supervises funds, they are responsible for watching the effects of the filming. The rest, the MC Film and Television Department never cares about it. They completely hand over the money to the other party, so that the other party can be at ease and concentrate on making the movie according to their own ideas and requirements.

Well, of course, if there are any problems in the end of the movie, the MC Film and Television Department will point it out as soon as possible and then make necessary modifications. The MC Film and Television Department has spent so much money to enter, and of course I also hope that the movie can make money. The directors and actors hope that the movie can be sold well so as not to affect their reputation, so they will actively cooperate in making small details.

Nowadays, the investment of MC Film and Television Department is basically a lot of money and will not interfere with the normal shooting of directors and crews. This is no longer a secret in the circle and has received high praise from insiders.

Because of this, every year, the MC Film and Television Department is now filled with scripts submitted by many directors and screenwriters, hoping to be valued by MC companies and then get investment from the MC Film and Television Department.

Anyway, for directors and screenwriters, they don’t care about the box office of the movie at all. Of course, they can have more opportunities in the future and more people will invest in their next movie or work.

It is enough to just seek filming funds. Anyway, you can deduct part of your own money according to your own value. If you have confidence or qualified as a director, you can simply invest your own pay and enjoy box office dividends.

Therefore, whether the director or the screenwriter does not care about his own film work, whether it is a sole proprietorship investment by the MC company's film and television department, or invested with other investors, it has little impact on the director and screenwriters anyway.

What directors and screenwriters value is the wealth of the MC Film and Television Department. As long as you really need that much money on your budget, the MC Film and Television Department will also have an internal budget. If the difference is not big, then you will give the filming funds you need without saying a word, and you will not be in charge of it, or you will not interfere with your shooting. If you have any situation, the MC Film and Television Department will take the initiative to help you solve the problem, such as inviting actors, distribution channels, etc.

Therefore, every year, many directors or screenwriters come to the door with their own scripts, hoping to be selected by the MC Film and Television Department and then start shooting.

However, it is difficult to integrate into the eyes of the MC Film and Television Department. When choosing scripts, the MC Film and Television Department is better than nothing. At most, it is impossible to expect Kim Yu-fan to write a script. Even if Kim Yu-fan doesn’t write a script, at most, he will not invest in any movie this year and concentrate on TV series. Anyway, he will never smash his signature to barely invest in a script to maintain the rhythm of one movie a year.

Li Xiangyu laughed. Now that the reputation and signature of the MC Film and Television Department have started, there are many directors and screenwriters every year. Whether they are old qualifications, newcomers, big names or end-of-the-scenes, they will find the MC Film and Television Department to try it out.

Everyone is thinking that if the script is taken by the MC Film and Television Department, even if it doesn’t look down on it, there will be no loss, right? At least everyone can continue to find ways to find other investments.

"At present, MC Film and Television Department has received many scripts from all aspects. After the selection of our staff, two scripts have been included in the final selection list. These two are held, one is "On the Face" written by the new screenwriter, and the other is a script written by director Liu Chengguan himself, called "Berlin".

After hearing Li Xiangyu's words, Kim Yu-fan was stunned, then nodded without saying anything.

Damn, the MC Film and Television Department is really great, and its reputation and influence are really good. There are two excellent film scripts such as "On the Face" and "Berlin", which is clearly a gift to MC.

If Kim Yu-fan remembers correctly, the two movies "Seeing the Face" and "Berlin" are both the best Korean local movies in 2013, and the number of viewers is not much different from the 10 million mark.

The number of viewers of "Seeing the Picture" has reached 9 million, while the number of viewers of "Berlin" has exceeded 7 million, ranking third and fourth in South Korea's 2013 movie box office rankings, second only to "The Gift of Room 7" and "Snow Country Train".

However, now, the movie "The Gift of Room 7" which is less than 12 million viewers has been occupied by Kim Yu-fan, and the script has been written and certified to ensure that "The Gift of Room 7" will not appear again.

Moreover, Kim Yu-hwan doesn't plan to make the movie "The Gift of Room 7" now, especially now that there are two excellent movies such as "Seeing the Picture" and "Berlin" that are enough to guarantee the box office of the movie. Of course, Kim Yu-hwan doesn't need to make his money.

Kim Yu-fan also has to sigh that the staff of the MC Film and Television Department are very powerful. Among so many scripts, the two scripts that can be selected in the end, "Observing the Face" and "Berlin" are worthy of recognition just because of the appreciation and ability of this script.

"You are still hesitating about these two scripts, not knowing which script to choose to invest in. So from this point, it is enough to show that it is enough to prove the excellence of the two scripts."

Kim Yu-fan looked at Li Xiangyu and smiled and said, "Since that's the case, there is no need to choose one of the two scripts. Since both scripts are excellent and it's difficult for you to choose, then just follow both scripts and invest in them. The company is not that much money is different, nor does it mean that it's just responsible for investing and shooting a movie a year. As long as you encounter a good script, even if you invest in five or ten movies, it's OK, and there's no problem."

Li Xiangyu's eyes lit up and he smiled and nodded: "I understand, to be honest, the scripts of the two movies "Observing the Face" and "Berlin" are really excellent and wonderful. The script appraisers of our film and television department are also difficult to choose, so they have been delayed until now that they have not decided to choose which script. Originally, I planned to let Yufan, you choose it yourself, but now with Yufan, you said, I feel relieved. These two scripts are really good and wonderful. I promise that after the movie is shot, we will not disappoint us."

"Of course, I have never doubted the ability of the screenwriter department." Kim Yu-fan said seriously. He was able to select two excellent movies such as "On the Face" and "Berlin" from so many scripts. What else can Kim Yu-fan have to doubt?

It can be said that "The Gift of Room 7" is hidden by Kim Yu-hwan, and "Snow Country Train" also has Hollywood capital. If you have money, you don't need to look for the MC Film and Television Department. The remaining two film scripts that are third and fourth are found in the MC Film and Television Department, and they are also selected from the numerous scripts by the MC Film and Television Department, which is itself a ability.

In a certain way, except for the "Snow Country Train" that cannot be intervened, when "The Gift of Room 7" could not appear in 2013 under the control of Kim Yu-hwan, the two most popular movies in Korean local movies were delivered to their doors. What else is there to be dissatisfied with Kim Yu-hwan?

After confirming the invested movie script, Kim Yu-fan and Lee Xiang-woo began to carefully discuss the two movies "On the Face" and "Berlin". How much money should be invested is actually a trivial matter. MC company has money, and as long as the crew is not a lion and wants to kill MC, MC company will basically not hesitate.

The key is that the two movies "On the Face" and "Berlin" are very excellent. Kim Yu-hwan already knew the achievements and influence of the two movies "On the Face" and "Berlin", while Li Xiang-woo completely saw the influence and benefits of the success of these two movies from the scripts of the two movies.

So, Kim Yu-fan and Lee Xiang-woo's idea is very simple now, that is, invest in the two movies "Seeing the Face" and "Berlin". This is certain, but if you just invest, it is obviously impossible to satisfy the ambitions of the two. The two are now thinking and discussing how to send the actors under MC to the crew of the two movies "Seeing the Face" and "Berlin". There is no need to call the male and female protagonists, but at least they have to get a good supporting role.

After all, there are very few excellent movies. Once an excellent movie appears, it will bring great influence and sensation. In such a movie, playing a supporting role is even much better than playing the absolute protagonist of some garbage movies, not only reputation but also reputation, or work achievements, etc.

Therefore, Kim Yu-fan and Lee Xiang-woo's current requirements are very simple, that is, the two movies "Observing the Face" and "Berlin" must be invested, but while investing, we can see if we can send MC's actors to the crew, and also get a small flyby with these two movies.

Do it as you say it. The script of "Observing the Face" is the work of new writer Kim Dong Hyuk. He has not signed a contract with the director and the main actors yet, so he can be put aside for the time being. At that time, the MC Film and Television Department will come forward and ask Kim Dong Hyuk for requests, and will continue to arrange the main actors.

But in general, the movie "Seeing the Picture" has a problem with some actors under MC. After all, Kim Dong-hyuk is just a new screenwriter. He does not have his own connections like some big-name screenwriters. His works will win roles for his good friends and actors, and even give up the opportunity to shoot. Anyway, he looks for the next opportunity and only after confirming the role of his friends and actors can he take out the script for the director or investor to shoot.

There is no doubt that Kim Dong Hyuk has no problem in this regard. He does not have his own actors' circle of friends, and there is not even a familiar director. When the two are combined, it is really not too easy for the MC Film and Television Department to arrange some MC actors in the movie "On the Face".

In contrast, it is undoubtedly much more difficult to arrange actors to enter the movie "Berlin".

After all, the screenwriter of the movie "Berlin" is Liu Chengwan. You should know that Liu Chengwan is also a versatile talent in the Korean film and television industry. He can not only serve as a director, but also write the script himself and is a screenwriter. He can also play the role of an actor when needed, and he is also an actor.

In particular, Liu Chengwan is a very famous new director in the Korean directorial industry. She has caused a great sensation since her first work she debuted. The self-written and directed "Crying Fist" also caused a sensation in the Korean film and television industry, and even went international.

In short, Liu Chengwan is definitely not a small role, and he also has a group of interests and circle of friends around him. In this case, it is not difficult for Kim Yu-fan and Li Xiang-woo to use the identity of investors to arrange actors in the movie "Berlin". The difficulty lies in the call of the male and female protagonists and important supporting roles. I guess Liu Chengwan will not noddle easily with the agreement, or even simply refuse directly.

With Director Liu Chengwan’s seniority, status and connections in the circle, it is certain and normal to have a temper. If MC touches director Liu Chengwan’s bottom line, then Director Liu Chengwan is angry and refuses to cooperate with MC’s film and television department and then finds new investors. This is also very normal, or even natural.

In the Korean entertainment industry, directors are not only the highest status and status, but also the most recognized profession with the greatest temper. Even if they have a large number of actors with hot tempers such as Choi Min-sik and Choi Min-soo, they cannot shake the directors, which is the most popular group in the Korean entertainment industry.

It is difficult to arrange MC actors to play more important roles in the movie "Berlin", but no matter how difficult it is, Kim Yu-fan and Lee Xiang-woo must try it. After all, both of them are optimistic about the script "Berlin".

At the same time, the two briefly estimated that the budget for the movie "Berlin" would be about 9 million US dollars, which would be about 10 billion won.

Money is nothing, and MC is not short of this amount of money, especially Kim Yu-hwan knows that the box office of the movie "Berlin" will exceed 7 million viewers, and the investment cost of 10 billion won can be taken out. After all, the box office of the movie alone is destined to not lose money.

You should know that the current ticket price of Korean movies is about 7,500 won. "Berlin" has more than 7 million viewers, so the box office revenue alone reaches 52.5 billion won. Among them, the publisher can get 40% of the box office of the movie, which is also 21 billion won, which is definitely a profit.

Moreover, the movie "Berlin" is now invested by the MC Film and Television Department, or because of the reputation and influence of the MC Film and Television Department, the box office is better than the original 7.16 million viewers, reaching 7.5 million viewers. This is not impossible. In this way, the MC Film and Television Department, as an investor and publisher, will undoubtedly gain more benefits.

In short, the box office revenue alone is enough to make a profit, and it is doubled. In addition, the income brought by the movie is never calculated based on the box office of the movie, but more on DVDs and peripherals, as well as movie advertising revenue, etc. These are the real source of large income. Unless it is like "Avatar" that swept billions of dollars in the box office, otherwise the main revenue of the movie is only a part of it.

After quickly calculating this result in his mind, Kim Yu-fan decided on the spot that he had to invest in the movie "Berlin". Even if director Liu Chengwan did not allow it or did not accept MC's actors joining the crew of "Berlin" to play the main role, he would still have to invest in the movie "Berlin".

There is nothing to say. At least investing in the movie "Berlin" will bring huge income to MC. A movie can bring about 10 million US dollars in box office alone. Just looking at this income, the movie "Berlin" is worth investing and must be invested.

As for the inability to arrange an actor, it’s nothing. If you can’t arrange it, it’s no big deal. Even if you want to gain a good reputation, you can get more directors and screenwriters to come to you with scripts in the future, that’s enough.

What's more, Kim Yu-hwan doesn't think that Yoo Seung-wan is really a stubborn director. The actors under MC are still some very good actors. If nothing unexpected happens, Jun Ji-hyun is the main actor of "Berlin". Yoo Seung-wan can't really give MC company no face.
