Chapter 2025 Signing Kong Liu
Just at noon on June 10, "The Furnace" was completed, five days ahead of schedule. It was originally planned to be completed on June 15.
The credit for being in advance is definitely not on Kim Jingcheng, but also on the deputy director Huang Donghyuk and director assistant Kang Hyung-chul. Without these two people, "The Furnace" will not only not be completed in advance, but will also have to be delayed. The director Kim Jingcheng is very professional, but he is a little incompetent in working hours. During the two months of filming of "The Furnace", he asked for leave several times. Fortunately, the crew can understand and know that he is a busy person.
When the filming was completed, Jin Jingcheng opened a few bottles of high-end champagne he specially brought, which made the crew celebrate. He knew that the crew had paid a lot in the two months of filming. As for himself, although he had taken several offs, he was still the hardest one.
Physical hardship is nothing, it is mainly mental pain. The shooting process of a movie like "The Furnace" is a kind of mental torture and torture for Jin Jingcheng. During this period, he felt very depressed several times, but fortunately he survived it.
According to the plan, in the next three months, "The Furnace" will enter a tense production and promotion period and will be released on September 15th.
In fact, "The Furnace" is already very popular in South Korea, which reduces the publicity burden in South Korea. Therefore, the promotional focus of "The Furnace" has been overseas because Kim Jingcheng wants to use this movie to create miracles and compete for the best foreign language film in the Oscar.
Jin Jingcheng wants to use his fame and his resources in Europe and the United States to release "The Furious" in some European and American countries, especially in the United States. Making overseas box office is only one thing, but on the other hand, it is to expand the fame of "The Furious" in Europe and the United States, which is conducive to the Oscars' best foreign language film.
After filming "The Furnace", Ha Ji-won can rest for a while, but Gong Yoo is not so happy. He has to rush to the TV series "Coffee Prince No. 1 Store", which will be broadcast on mbc TV on July 2.
"Coffee Prince No. 1 Store" is starring Yoon Eun Hye, Gong Yoo, Lee Sun-joon and Choi Jung-an. The drama is set in a coffee shop and tells the story of four men and women acquaintance, knowing each other and falling in love with each other. The story is very simple, but it has a hot rating in the previous life. It is an important masterpiece of Yoon Eun Hye and Gong Yoo.
"Coffee Prince 1 Store" started filming a few days ago. Because Gong Yoo was filming "The Furnace", the crew first filmed Yoon Eun Hye's scenes and delayed Gong Yoo's scenes for a few days. So Gong Yoo rushed to the crew of "Coffee Prince 1 Store" this time and had to work hard to catch the show.
Kim Jong-sung believes that Gong Yoo will be able to successfully complete the shooting task of "Coffee Prince No. 1 Store" because Gong Yoo is a very professional and hard-working actor. If he is not professional and hard-working, the birth of the movie "The Furnace" in his previous life will not be closely related to him.
What surprised Kim Jingcheng was that before going to the crew of "Coffee Prince 1 Store", Gong Yoo suddenly proposed that he hoped to sign a contract with JJC Entertainment Company.
The reason why Gong Yoo proposed this is because he has been very happy with Kim Jong-sung in the past two months. Kim Jong-sung boldly filmed "The Furnace", which made him admire Kim Jong-sung very much; the second is that through Kim Jong-sung, he knew that JJC Entertainment Company urgently needed male actors, and he also needed a strong company like JJC Entertainment Company to support him. Only in this way can some of his artistic ambitions be realized.
Of course, Kim Jong-sung is very willing. He admired very few Korean male actors in his previous life. He thinks that many Korean male actors either have bad character or are too creamy. The Korean male actors he admires include Cha Tae Hyun, Jang Hyuk, Gong Yoo, Song Joong Ki, etc.
Kim Jingsung had just signed Song Joong Ki, but Song Joong Ki is too young now, and Gong Yoo's joining at this time can be said to be in time.
Fortunately, it is 2007. If October 2011 has passed, it will be difficult for Kim Jong-sung to sign Gong Yoo again. In his previous life, Gong Yoo signed into management-soop in October 2011.
management-soop is an agency established in April 2011. It is a subsidiary of a large agency "fantagio" (formerly n.o.a). The company representative is Kim Chang-kun. In his previous life, this agency seeks excellence in the field of artists, and its artists include Jeon Do-yeon, Gong Yoo, Kong Hyo-jin, Yoo Seung-bang, Soo-ai, Ding Yi-woo, Jung Yoo-mi, etc., each of which is a sentimental and hard-working party.
This brokerage company does not pay a contract fee, nor does it set a "signing time", so its artists can leave at any time as long as they want to leave. It is under this premise that Jeon Do-yeon, Kong Yoo and Kong Xiaozhen have been following this brokerage company in their previous lives, which is loyal.
Jin Changjun was incredible about this. Why were these people willing to follow him? Later, he thought about it and found that these artists never lie to him. Everyone was working together sincerely. This was a combination of a trustworthy company and a loyal artist.
In order to shoot "The Furnace", Gong Yoo faced a lot of pressure in his previous life, with the help of Kim Chang-jun, which was finally realized.
Kong Yoo said: "Except Kim Jang-kun, which agent would easily agree to film "The Furnace"? Compared to pursuing commerciality, Kim Jang-kun wants to understand the actor's emotional emotions more. This is his advantage and disadvantage."
It can be seen that it would be difficult for Kim Jong-sung to sign Gong Yoo after October 2011, because Gong Yoo would be loyal to management-soop and Kim Jong-jun.
Now, Kim Jong-sung-song-song-song has replaced Kim Jong-kun and has become the person that Kong Yoo is decisively willing to rely on.
Now Kong Yoo's agency contract is also very free.
So, on the night of the completion of "The Furnace" on June 10, Kim Jong-sung personally took Gong Yoo to JJC Entertainment Company, signed Gong Yoo's contract with Gong Yoo, and gave a high-priced contract fee. This contract fee exceeded Gong Yoo's current price, which made Gong Yoo feel grateful to Kim and felt that his choice was the right one this time.
Why give high-priced contract bonus? It's not that Kim Jong-sung is too generous. Don't think that he often gives high prices to artists, such as Kim Tae-hee before, and Gong Yoo this time, favors are just one thing, but on the other hand, he knows that the high price he gives will definitely make it back multiple times.
Kim Jong-sung knows that "Coffee Prince No. 1 Store" will be popular soon, and "The Furnace" will be released in three months. By then, Gong Yoo's value will increase several times, which will exceed the high price Kim Jong-sung now, and will earn a lot of benefits for JJC Entertainment Company.
After Gong Yoo signed the agency contract, the next morning, Kim Jong-sung was busy driving Knight 15th to personally send Gong Yoo to the crew of "Coffee Prince No. 1 Store" and bought some snacks and coffee to the crew, which made the crew members flattered. Gong Yoo was very proud of this. If he hadn't been four years older than Kim Jong-sung, he would have wanted to call Kim Jong-sung "Brother".
