Chapter 2547 Explanation
Kim Yu-fan's words and reactions also made everyone believe Kim Yu-fan's words, that is, in the past two years, Kim Yu-fan has not held a grudge against Jang Dong-jin because of that incident, and thus began to suppress Jang Dong-jin in various ways.
If you think about it carefully, Kim Yu-hwan's identity and status are there. As the number one agency in the Korean entertainment industry, he is definitely a high-ranking figure in front of artists. With the current income and influence of MC companies, Kim Yu-hwan can completely make him jump out of the entertainment industry, join the ranks of entrepreneurs, leave the entertainment industry, and enter the news of the economy and finance.
Kim Yu-fan really has to deal with Jang Dong-gun, and Jang Dong-gun is just an artist. To be honest, it is really not difficult. Just taking a few moves will completely prevent Jang Dong-gun from receiving the script. This is really not a bragging.
With the financial resources of MC Company, the crew that you Zhang Dongjian wants to take over will be invested in and become a producer, and then kick Zhang Dongjian out. Anyway, it is not the MC Company that bears it, and other production companies will not agree, so it doesn’t matter if you waste a little money.
Secondly, even if a certain crew is really awesome, they don’t care about money, or the MC company cannot become the producer. That doesn’t matter. With the current achievements and reputation of the MC Film and Television Department, they can directly say hello to other directors and actors of the crew. Don’t work with Jang Dong-jian. Once you work together, it will be like slapping us MC in the face and giving up the future cooperation with us MC. How do you decide for yourself now?
Basically, as long as people who are not mentally ill, they will choose MC Company, the number one agency in South Korea. At the same time, none of the film and television works of the film and television department failed, and each of them was very successful and popular, which made countless participating actors soar in popularity and their incomes soar.
With a bumper harvest in both personal career and interests, it is estimated that everyone in the entertainment industry will refuse to cooperate with Jang Dong-jian except for a few truly awesome or principled directors and actors who are not threatened.
Over time, many actors have stopped working with Jang Dong-jian. Whether it is a production company or a director, they must consider this. It is destined to find a suitable actor if you look for Jang Dong-jian, because those who are suitable are unwilling to work with Jang Dong-jian. In this case, you will probably give up Jang Dong-jian directly.
Although this is very unfair to Jang Dong-jian, it doesn’t matter. Whether it is a production company or a director, the first thing to consider is the movie, and everything else can be made way for the movie.
Therefore, Kim Yu-fan is really not bragging. If he really wants to attack Jang Dong-jin, how could Jang Dong-jin have such a good life now and be able to receive scripts, which ensures that Jang Dong-jin can't receive a script.
As an actor, he can't even receive scripts. In addition, actors are destined to rely on film and television works. They do not pay much attention to popularity like singers, so they are not very popular. Strictly speaking, actors are not very popular, they are only influence.
If many top actors are really popular, they are probably not as popular as a newcomer group who debuted for a year or a third-rate group, but they cannot withstand great influence. For example, Choi Min-sik is currently the top Korean actor, and he is so old and has a cold face and is too majestic. He has no fans. But he has great influence. After a work was released, everyone will see that the protagonist is Choi Min-sik, and millions of people will probably go to the cinema. This is influence.
His popularity is not as good as a singer, but his influence can definitely crush any singer, including the Oriental Godqi at his peak.
Of course, there is a problem with such keeping things around, but it also proves one thing, that is, actors basically do not rely on popularity, but only rely on influence, so actors are also very popular.
As an actor, Zhang Dongjian will be given up by advertisers if he cannot receive scripts, has no income from a movie, and is low in popularity, and his influence will soon disappear. At that time, Zhang Dongjian will definitely have no income.
Well, you said that Jang Dong-jian has a side job, so I don’t deny that, but so what if you have a side job? I really don’t have money to target your side job when the MC company doesn’t have money. And you don’t need to have money. As long as it has something to do, you will definitely lose money at that time.
Everyone is smart, so of course they know that what Kim Yu-fan is saying is true. Otherwise, with Kim Yu-fan's energy and potential, including the strength of MC, if they really want to suppress and ban Jang Dong-jin, Jang Dong-jin will definitely be very miserable.
"Really?" Gao Xiaoying looked at Kim Yu-fan, and then said in confusion: "But why is there always a feeling of a big net pressing Dong-jin. Of course, Yu-fan, I believe you, I don't doubt you, I'm just curious."
Gao Xiaoying was puzzled by this. In the past two years, Jang Dong-jin's career began to clearly reach a trough. Since the failure of the movie "Day of Landing", no movie script came to him. In desperation, Jang Dong-jin took over the TV series "The Character of a Gentleman", so that he could maintain a certain popularity and have a certain income.
You should know that Korean actors are proud of Zhongwulu. As actors of Zhongwulu, whether they directly insist on taking the movie actor route from the beginning, or relying on TV series to slowly accumulate popularity and improve their acting skills, and then completely transfer to movie actors, they basically have one characteristic, that is, after becoming a movie actor, it is basically impossible to shoot TV series again.
For movie actors, filming TV series is definitely a reduction in their own status. They would rather earn less than film TV series, unless they really end up and don’t take on the show, they will starve to death and completely forget others.
"The Character of Gentleman" is actually taken at this time. In this case, Jang Dong-jian also needs income and works to promote himself and maintain his popularity. In desperation, the TV series "The Character of Gentleman" was taken over.
Indeed, for Jang Dong-jian, this is a helpless choice, and it is also the second time that he took on TV series after 12 years after "Falling in Love with Female Anchor" in 2000.
From the success of "Friends", he was recognized by Zhongwulu, and coupled with the complete explosion of "Tai Chi Flag Flying", Jang Dong-gun also became a top Korean male actor and a real movie actor.
Perhaps, Jang Dong-jian, who was smooth sailing at that time, did not expect that he would take on TV series one day. I have to say that this is a satire. You should know that after the great success of "Tai Chi Flag Flying", Jang Dong-jian once made the decision to only shoot movies, not TV series, and stick to his self-esteem.
After that, Jang Dong-gun received the new movie script "The Crying Man" three years later, and then, nothing happened, and it also failed.
After that, no one continued to ask Jang Dong-kin to shoot movies for several years. Even if movies and TV series occasionally come to him, the effects and influence that can be achieved are far from being compared with Jang Dong-kin's peak period.
Perhaps, the peak period of Jang Dong-kin, that is, the period from "Friends" to "Tai Chi Flag Flying", is more precisely in a few years. Jang Dong-kin is no longer as good as before. Although it is cruel, this is indeed the eternal main theme of the entertainment industry. Some people cry and some people laugh, and there are peaks and troughs!
Kim Yu-fan: "There is nothing strange about this. After all, it is the problem of Senior Jang Dong-jin himself."
"My question?" Jang Dong-jin was stunned, looking at Kim Yu-fan with a puzzled look on his face. What is my own problem? Except for your Kim Yu-fan's incident, I have achieved the ultimate in all aspects. Whether it is in dealing with people or other aspects, I have done my best. I also try to remain modest and respectful, and will not offend anyone, otherwise I will not be evaluated by Mr. Sanhao.
Therefore, Jang Dong-gun was absolutely dissatisfied with Kim Yu-hwan's words. If it weren't for the lack of atmosphere on the scene, and he was originally here to find Kim Yu-hwan to resolve his previous grievances and conflicts, now he said that Kim Yu-hwan would only complicate things.
Therefore, Jang Dong-gun did not speak, but just looked at Kim Yu-hwan, with doubts in his eyes.
"Okay, don't show your face, who will show it to you? Just tell me what the situation is. If you don't know much, please help me analyze it. Anyway, that's just one thing. If you didn't take revenge on Jang Dongjian, it means that the matter is not big. Since it's not big, then forget it."
An Shengji spoke, what else could Kim Yu-fan say? After all, when you see a well-known and good-looking man in the entertainment industry, who is famous for being a top celebrity in the entertainment industry, and is famous for having a hot temper, and anyone who is afraid of seeing him will scold him without hesitation, and even reach out to pat the other person in the face, and there is a slap, what will you react?
Well~~~Okay, this person who was taught by An Sung-ki is Choi Min-sik. After an accident, Kim Yu-fan accidentally saw this scene and realized that the information he collected about An Sung-ki was very clear and expanded to show that An Sung-ki's hot temper was meaningful.
"First of all, what I want to say is that I have not suppressed Senior Jang Dong-jian at all, and I have not even targeted them. Besides, I think the reason why Senior Jang Dong-jian is like this is entirely because of his own reasons."
Under the gaze of everyone, Kim Yu-fan put down his chopsticks and said lightly: "From the perspective and perspective of a company leader, that is senior Zhang Dong-jian. He has passed his peak period and has gradually lost his value. This is the biggest foundation and reason!"
"I lost my value?" Jang Dong-jin was stunned, looking at Kim Yu-fan with disbelief, and was also a little excited.
This is normal. For anyone, they may not be able to accept it for a while when they hear that they have lost their value and are useless.
"What are you excited about? Listen to Yufan!" Gao Xiaoying grabbed Zhang Dongjian who wanted to stand up with dissatisfaction and said with a serious look on his face.
"Yes, why are you excited? Let's talk after listening to Yufan's words." An Shengji glared at Jang Dong-jin, and immediately made Jang Dong-jin honest.
"First of all, Senior Jang Dong-jin is an actor, so we look at this from the perspective of actor-related people. For an actor, or someone who needs to consider the value of an actor, there are only three aspects. The first is the producer, whether it is the production company behind the movie or the TV station behind the TV series. The second is the director, and finally it is related to endorsement, and we call it an advertiser."
"First of all, that is, one thing must be admitted. Senior Zhang Dongjian is old, which is not a satirical thing, it is really old."
As a person in 1972 years old, Jang Dong-jian is now over 40 years old and is indeed not young anymore.
"What does this have to do with age? After all, we are actors, not idols or singers?" Gao Xiaoying asked Zhang Dongjian about the confusion and doubts in her heart.
"Because of being older, senior Jang Dong-kin lost its value, which is normal. After all, judging from the development trajectory of senior Jang Dong-kin, basically, it started to rise from the movie "Friends", and then it began to explode completely in the movie "Tai Chi Flag Flying" and reached its peak in career. The following years will definitely be the peak period of senior Jang Dong-kin, and there will be basically never be few scripts."
This time, without waiting for Gao Xiaoying to continue asking, Kim Yu-fan said directly: "But to be honest, senior Jang Dong-jin's acting skills are indeed problematic. We cannot say that senior Jang Dong-jin's acting skills are not as good as expected, at least they cannot be compared with senior Choi Min-sik. In short, Senior Jang Dong-jin is just a well-behaved actor with acting skills, but it is obviously impossible to say that it is superb."
Choi Min-sik raised his chin proudly, and his eyes looked at Kim Yu-fan were full of appreciation: This child is a real person, and so many people are sitting here, I would be embarrassed to say that.
"Whether it is "Friends" or "Tai Chi Flag Flying", after all, this is also the luck of senior Jang Dong-kin. When he encountered these two excellent movies, coupled with the efforts of the director, the film was a great success, allowing senior Jang Dong-kin, as the male lead, to enjoy the most benefits and halo, thus reaching his peak. Unfortunately, senior Jang Dong-kin's acting skills are indeed a huge problem. After the acting skills have not exceeded a certain level and the acting skills have been fixed, there has been no progress. Then as he grows older, senior Jang Dong-kin's competitiveness gradually weakens and has completely lost its competitiveness in the end."
Kim Yu-bun frowned and looked at Kang Di-gyu and Park Chan-wook: "I believe that director Kang Di-gyu and Park Chan-wook know the most about my words."
Everyone's eyes were immediately attracted by Kim Yu-fan's words to Kang Di-gyu and Park Chan-wook. Facing everyone's gaze, they were already curious in their eyes. They also smiled bitterly, and finally shook their heads, saying that they had nothing to say, or that their identities and positions were placed there, and some things were indeed inconvenient to say.
Kim Yu-fan nodded. Since it is not convenient for the two of them to say, I will help and say: "The easiest thing for a director is to make a good movie, but if you want to make a good movie, in addition to being suitable for excellent actors, you also need to have a crew with tacit understanding and outstanding abilities. Finally, you must consider the box office of the movie."
"Under this premise, a movie will start shooting with a production fee of 10 billion won. The pay for senior Jang Dong-gun alone is 1 billion won. This is undoubtedly a huge base for the production fee of the movie."
"If you can invite a young actor who is not much worse in acting but is cheaper, or you only need 500 million won or even 100 million won, you can invite a young actor, so that you can put all the remaining money in the film production and shooting, and then the effect and quality of the movie will be better."
"In this case, basically any director will make such a choice, no reason, it is just for the quality and effect of the movie to be better."
South Korea is not like China. It emphasizes the inviting big stars. It is better to spend half of the total cost or even half of the funds to invite big stars, which will make the remaining money pitiful. The quality of the works you shoot can be imagined.
South Korea has very clear regulations on the value of artists and pay. If your work becomes popular, you can earn more money from advertising endorsements, but it is basically unlikely to make your pay soar. For example, your pay is 50 million won before it becomes popular, but after it becomes popular, it will be 100 million won at most. That's all. It is impossible to become popular like a Chinese actor and increase its value by dozens or hundreds of times.
Kim Yu-fan's words are all about this. What else can Kang Di-gyu and Park Chan-wook say? They can only nod and agree with Kim Yu-fan's words.
Park Chan-woo: "In fact, for us directors, we hope to spend money on filming the movie, spending it on costumes, props and all small details. To be honest, the actors' pay is too high, which is something that all our directors do not want, because it will greatly increase the cost of film production. With the fixed production cost, a lot of funds will be taken up, so that our directors' next filming, due to the funding issue, many small details have to be ignored, which will reduce the overall quality of the work."
Speaking of this, Park Chan-woo looked at everyone: "After all, this is nothing to do. This is the relationship between helplessness and interests between our director and your actors. Of course, you actors want to get a higher pay to reflect their own value, and it is also the actor's labor income. Our directors hope to reduce the actor's pay as much as possible, and then spend the money elsewhere to improve the overall quality of the work. This is a fundamental contradiction that cannot be solved. Unless there is sufficient funds that can be thrown away, otherwise this problem will appear in any crew."
"Young actors may have a little worse acting skills, but they are better at being cheaper. Moreover, young actors will have a relatively larger number of fans. At that time, they will save money and keep up with their acting skills, and they will have more influence from fans. Under all aspects of the situation, the director's choice will be clearer."
