Chapter 2068 The running turtle
ps: The sixth update today is here.
————————————
There are two prerequisites for Kim Jingcheng to choose a movie for Qiu Ja Hyun this time. First, it is best not to let her play the leading role, at most she can only play the second female lead; second, it is best not to let her win the award for the movie, at most she can only get nominated for the movie award.
Because Kim Jong-sung arranged for Qiao Ja-hyun to act in this movie, it was mainly to satisfy her wishes and to gain some popularity in Korea, but she could not make her popular in Korea, nor could she win movie awards. Otherwise, with her strong personality and ambition for Korea, she would definitely turn her career center back to Korea. Kim Jong-sung's persuasion was mostly useless, and Kim Jong-sung knew that China was the real place for her, and he didn't want to change her trajectory.
Of course, this movie cannot be bad either, at least the box office should be good, otherwise the investment of jjc movie investment and distribution company will lose money. Kim Jingcheng would not deliberately let himself do a loss-making business in order to satisfy Qiu Ja-hyun's wish.
So, it was a bit troublesome for Kim Jong-sung to arrange a movie for Qiu Ja-hyun this time, but fortunately he found it!
"Well, this one is quite suitable!" After carefully checking the company's film investment plan documents, Jin Jingcheng confirmed a movie that suited his wishes.
The movie is called "Running Turtle". This is a crime comedy movie. In his previous life, the film was written and directed by Lee Yeon-woo, starring Kim Yoon-suk, Jung Kyung-ho, Zhen Miri and Xian Yu-sun. It was released in June 2009. The film is adapted from the real Korean incident "Shin Chang-won's Prison Break". It tells the story of a prison escaper breaking into a quiet and peaceful small village and meeting the uncle and detective in the village.
"Shin Changwon escaped from prison" is a real incident. Shin Changwon is a star-level wanted criminal in South Korea history. He was sentenced to life imprisonment for robbery and other charges in early 1997. Later, he escaped by dismantling the windows in the prison toilet. He then appeared in various parts of South Korea to continue his crimes and openly demonstrated and challenged the police. He was not arrested by the police until 1999.
Kim Jong-sung had watched "Running Turtle" in his previous life and had some understanding of the situation of this movie. As far as he knew, the film had a high box office in South Korea, with more than 3 million viewers. It was the movie on the 2009 Korean annual movie box office list. Although its reputation was not very good, it was not bad. The score on Douban in China was close to 7 points. The supporting actor Shin Jong-gen won the Best Supporting Actor Award at the Busan Film Critics Association Award for this movie. In addition, the movie was nominated for the Blue Dragon Award, the Dazhong Award, and the Baeksang Art Award, but it was not won.
Now Li Yanyu is a new director with little fame. He had only written and directed a small-budget film "Yishou Express 2424" in 2002. The film performed poorly, so he has not been able to gain the favor of film investors in recent years.
"Running Turtle" is a work of ambition by Li Yanyu. He hopes that this movie will make him successful. However, after he finished writing the script, he found several film investors in succession, but they were rejected.
In the small-budget movie "Yisou Express 2424" written and directed by Lee Yeon-woo five years ago, Kim Lai-won played a supporting role, which made the two have a friendship. Lee Yeon-woo knew that Kim Lai-won was Kim Jing-sung's student, so she begged Kim Lai-won for help and sent the script of "Running Turtle" directly to Kim Ging-sung a week ago.
The next day, Kim Jong-sung asked Shen Lan to contact Lee Yeon-woo and expressed his willingness to invest in the movie in full. One reason was that the investment cost of this movie was not high, but the box office was sold well. The box office of more than 3 million viewers could make JJC a big profit; the other reason was that Jung Kyung-ho was the second male lead in the movie in his previous life, playing a prison escaper, which was considered Jung Kyung-ho's representative work in movies. Kim Jong-sung didn't want Jung Kyung-ho to miss this movie.
Now Kim Jingcheng has another reason to invest in this movie, that is Qiu Ja-hyun.
Kim Jong-sung is preparing to let Choo Ja-hyun replace the actress Shin Yu-sun in her previous life, and plays the second female lead in the movie, Jing-joo and Jung Kyung-ho. In the movie, Jing-joo is the woman loved by the prison escaper and is a coffee shop clerk. She is not afraid of any danger and is willing to be with the prison escaper. In order for the prison escaper, she can keep silent when she is caught and interrogated, and is willing to flee abroad with the prison escaper.
Because I watched this movie in my previous life, Kim Jong-sung felt that Qiu Ja-hyun would definitely play the second female lead well.
Qiu Ja-hyun's second female lead in "Running Turtle" is also better than her previous life star in "Beauty Picture".
In terms of box office, "The Running Turtle" is 1 million more viewers than "Beauty Picture", while "Beauty Picture" has only more than 2 million viewers.
In terms of reputation, although "Running Turtle" has a not very good reputation, it is a little better than "Beauty Picture".
More importantly, "The Running Turtle" is not a love-like film, and it will not leave Qiu Ja-hyun with "dirty marks" in the movie.
Kim Jong-sung immediately printed out the relevant information about "Running Turtle" and walked towards Qiu Ja-hyun with the printed document. Qiu Ja-hyun hurriedly stood up from the sofa and asked respectfully: "President, is there any movie suitable for me to star in?"
Kim Jong-sung handed the printed document to Qiu Ja-hyun: "There is one here for you, you can take a look first."
Qiu Ja-hyun quickly looked carefully. Jin Jingcheng looked at Qiu Ja-hyun while tasting tea. He felt that this woman not only had high emotional intelligence, but also worked very seriously and hard, and could read a document with her full attention. It was precisely because of her high emotional intelligence and hard work that she was successful in China.
After watching it, Qiu Ja-hyun asked: "President, are you planning to let me play the role of 'Jingjoo' in the movie?"
Jin Jingcheng nodded: "Yes, this is just a female second-team. I'm afraid I'll let you down."
"Don't say that, I'm already satisfied to be the second female lead in this movie." Qiu Ja-hyun is self-aware. Although she has starred in TV series such as "The Legend of Chu Liuxiang" and "The Legend of the Flag" in China, and is a little popular in China, she knows that she is just an actress outside the third line in South Korea.
Jin Jingcheng said again: "Because of the company's film investment arrangements and future release schedules, this movie will not be filmed until next year. Can you wait?"
Qiu Ja-hyun said: "You can wait." As long as there is a Korean movie, she will be satisfied. Waiting for a year or two is not a big deal. Besides, she doesn't have to worry about money now. Her income in China now is more than that of some second-tier Korean actresses.
