Chapter 406: Producer and Producer
Kim Kyung-sung is not only willing to invest in "Welcome to Dongmo Village" in full, but also offers to invest an additional 1 billion won, which is really a bit peculiar.
Naturally, it's not because Kim has a lot of money and nowhere to spend it, but because he knows that the investment of 2.5 billion won is definitely not enough for a war movie like "Welcome to Dongmo Village", even if he doesn't take the initiative now, Park Kwang-hyun will probably beg him to invest more in the future.
3.5 billion won, equivalent to 20 million yuan, is indeed a lot of money.
Investing in the TV series "I'm Sorry, I Love You" has already helped Kim Jingcheng make a fortune, and the Night Paradise nightclub is now earning Kim Jingcheng a net income of 50 million to more than 100 million won every day, and the "Night Paradise" album is also making money.
Even without these, Kim Kyung-sung still has a lot of personal savings brought back from the United States, and it is not a problem to invest 3.5 billion won in a movie.
In fact, even if it is 3.5 billion won, "Welcome to Dongmo Village" needs to be saved during the filming and production, otherwise it is still not enough, so Kim Kyung-sung immediately said: "3.5 billion won, this is all the investment I gave you, I hope you will carefully consider the funds during the filming process, and on the basis of ensuring quality, I don't want you to ask me for additional investment in the future." ”
Park Kwang-hyun paused, pondered for a moment before saying, "Okay, I'll do this." ”
Kim Jingcheng was satisfied, and if Park Kwang-hyun agreed directly without contemplation, it would seem reckless and perfunctory.
Park Kwang-hyun forcibly maintained his calm on the outside, but he was shocked on the inside.
In South Korea, a country where the film market is still relatively small, several companies are often involved in the production of a film, mainly to share the investment risk. At the beginning, it was not enough for CJ-Entertainment, Cineworld, and Eagle-Pictures to invest in "The King's Man", but also to find JJC Entertainment Studios to invest and share the risk.
Even CJ-Entertainment, the most professional and powerful film investment and distribution company in South Korea, does not dare to invest in a single film in full, let alone a big-budget film.
And JJC Entertainment Studio, represented by Jin Jingcheng, is not only willing to fully invest in "Welcome to Dongmo Village" this time. Kim Kyung-sung also did more boldly, offering to invest an additional 1 billion won, which is like a big pie in the sky for Park Kwang-hyun, if it weren't for Kim Kyung-sung's ability and achievements, Park Kwang-hyun would probably think he was a liar.
Finally stabilized the shock in his heart for a while, Park Kwang-hyun asked Kim Kyung-sung respectfully, "I don't know what President Kim has about the shooting and production of this movie?"
would ask this, on the one hand, Park Kwang-hyun wants to express his respect for Kim Kyung-sung, which is a kind of politeness under respect, and on the other hand, because Kim Kyung-sung also has the identity of a teacher in the Department of Drama and Film of Chung-Ang University in South Korea. is also an expert in film, and may really be able to give good advice.
Jin Jingcheng paused and said: "Regarding the opinion, I will mention one point, I hope that the soundtrack of this movie, you can strive to find the Japanese music master Hisaishi to be in charge." ”
When Park Guangxian heard this, he was suddenly surprised in his heart, and his face showed some surprised expressions. Because he "happens" to have connections in this area, he can contact Jean Hisaishi.
Park Kwang-hyun didn't ask much. Subconsciously, I thought it was just a coincidence.
This is naturally not a coincidence, nor is it "just right", but because Jin Jingcheng knows that in his previous life, the soundtrack of "Welcome to Dongmo Village" invited the Japanese music master Hisaishi to be in charge, which added a lot of luster to this movie, otherwise look at the whole of South Korea. There are really few musicians who can make this kind of war reflection film soundtrack very well.
Park Kwang-hyun then asked, "What about the actors? Is there anyone President Kim would like to recommend?"
Jin Jingcheng said calmly: "It's up to you to decide this, I don't know what your plans are?"
Park Kwang-hyun was once again satisfied, although the director was the central figure of the crew when shooting a movie, both in South Korea and in other countries. Actors are often influenced by investors.
Park Kwang-hyun said: "In 2002, there was a movie called "The Enemy in Four Rooms", I wonder if President Kim has seen it?"
Kim said: "I haven't seen it, but I know the movie. ”
Park Kwang-hyun said, "This film is starring Jung Jae-young, Shin Ha-kyun, and Kang Hye-jung, and I am ready to find them all and collaborate again in 'Welcome to Dongmo Village'. ”
Jin Jingcheng nodded: "Then so be it." ”
Park Kwang-hyun also had to ask some other questions, and after Kim Kyung-sung noticed it, he took the initiative to say: "You don't have to be too polite with me, I won't interfere too much in your filming and production." ”
Park Kwang-hyun nodded happily, feeling that he had really found the right investor this time, because Kim Kyung-sung not only took the initiative to invest more, but also promised not to intervene too much, and one of the things that many directors are most afraid of is that they will be subjected to too much interference by investors when filming and producing a movie, especially some indiscriminate intervention.
Jin Jingcheng immediately said: "But I think you should understand that the producer and producer of this film have to put my name on it." ”
When he invested in "The King's Man", because Jin Jingcheng only invested 30% of the investment, and with the first participation of a big film company like CJ-Entertainment, Jin Jingcheng only hung up the title of producer.
And this time, although Jin Jingcheng will not interfere too much in the filming and production process of "Welcome to Dongmo Village", as a full investor, he wants to hang the title of producer and producer, in other words, he wants to be both chairman and president.
This is also a normal phenomenon, because after the full investment, it is impossible for the investor to give the title of producer to the director.
Of course, Kim Kyung-sung will not really let Park Kwang-hyun shoot and produce by himself, and will let Shin Lan supervise it, and the most basic financial audit will definitely not be left behind.
Park Kwang-hyun naturally knew this, so he hurriedly said, "Of course." ”
Jin Jingcheng immediately asked rhetorically: "Regarding the filming and production of this movie, do you have any problems that are still difficult to solve?"
Park Kwang-hyun said directly: "There is indeed a point, and this is also the point that I have been trying to figure out. ”
Jin Jingcheng asked, "Which point?"
Park Kwang-hyun explained: "It's a military problem......
It turns out that "Welcome to Dongmo Village" has some war scenes, which will involve soldiers, guns, bombs and even airplanes, of course, because it is a movie, soldiers are not necessarily real soldiers in reality, and firearms are not necessarily real guns, and bombs and planes naturally do not need to be real. Rao still needs a certain amount of military support and assistance.
Jin Jingcheng said directly: "This is easy to do, I'll help you solve it." ”
Park Kwang-hyun was surprised: "You...... Can you fix it?"
Jin Jingcheng smiled faintly: "I can." ”
Just kidding, with Kim Dong-woo, a buddy like Kim Kyung-sung, how could he not solve this problem, asking Kim Dong-woo for help will not only make the movie look more professional, but also save a sum of money to spend on other aspects to enhance the quality of the movie.
This is not a matter of Kim Kyung-sung helping Park Kwang-hyun, but as a producer and producer. (To be continued......)
