Chapter 514: Signing Six Artists
8 million US dollars to invest in a movie, this is also the largest investment in the Korean entertainment industry so far, even the war movie "Welcome to Dongmo Village", which is now in theaters, Jin Jingcheng only invested 3.5 billion won, less than 20 million yuan.
With so much investment, Kim Kyung-sung will naturally attach great importance to the movie "Monster of the Han River", although this time he will also give director Bong Joon-ho enough freedom like he did with Park Kwang-hyun before, but JJC Entertainment Studio, headed by him, will work harder on the supervision of this film.
This includes the selection of actors.
Seeing that Kim Kyung-sung had already made up his mind to invest, Bong Joon-ho immediately handed the list of actors to Kim Kyung-sung for a look.
The main actors include Song Kang-ho, Park Hae-il, Bae Doona, Byun Hee-bong, Gao Ya-sung, etc.
Part of this list of actors was proposed by Bong Joon-ho, such as Song Kang-ho and Ko Ya-sung, and part was selected by Bong Joon-ho based on Kim Kyung-sung's suggestion.
The lineup of this cast list is undoubtedly very strong, including Daejong Award actor Song Kang-ho, Bae Doona, who is becoming more and more popular, and Park Hae-il, a "pollution-free boy". For them, "Monster of the Han River" can also be said to be a big challenge and dream.
After the release of "Antarctic Diary" starring Song Kang-ho in the first half of this year, the box office and response were not good, and I believe he hopes to create a high box office through the movie "Monster of the Han River".
Looking at this list of actors, Jin Jingcheng felt a little emotional in his heart, feeling that the Korean entertainment industry is not small, but it is really not big, just a few days ago when the premiere of "Welcome to Dongmo Village" was held, Song Kang-ho and Park Hae-il both attended, and Bian Xifeng and Kim Jingcheng had seen it at the KBS Acting Awards.
"Actors. I'm out of comment, so be it. Jin Jingcheng said after reviewing the list of actors.
Immediately, Kim Kyung-sung put forward some of his own opinions on "Monster of the Han River", for example, Kim Kyung-sung hoped that Bong Joon-ho would pay attention to adding more Korean cultural characteristics while referring to the filming techniques of the classic sci-fi horror film "Opposite Sex". makes this movie different from Hollywood monster movies and more oriental.
Regarding Jin Jingcheng's opinions, Bong Junhao accepted them humbly, mainly because Jin Jingcheng's opinions were very good and in line with Bong Junhao's creative style, which made Bong Junhao even more in awe of Jin Jingcheng in his heart.
Kim Kyung-sung finally said to Bong Joon-ho: "I believe that with your ability and diligence, this movie will not disappoint me, and it will definitely not disappoint the audience's expectations." ”
Bong Joon-ho said sincerely, "I will definitely do my best." ”
Immediately, under the supervision of Liu Minjian. Kim Kyung-sung and Bong Joon-ho signed two contracts, one is the investment contract for the movie "Monster of the Han River", the other is Bong Joon-ho's brokerage contract, and in addition, Kim Kyung-sung also signed an economic contract with Ko Ya-sung.
Kim Kyung-sung fully invested in "Monster of the Han River" this time, and put forward a condition for Bong Joon-ho, that is, to let Bong Joon-ho sign a contract with JJC Entertainment Studio. Bong Joon-ho originally had his own film studio, that is. Bong Joon-ho will take his studio and merge it into JJC Entertainment Studios.
Bong Joon-ho agreed to Kim Kyung-sung's conditions. Not only to fulfill the dream of filming "Monster of the Han River", but also because his personal film studio is not in a good situation now, and he urgently needs the support of an entertainment company like JJC Entertainment Studio.
Of course, the treatment given by Jin Jingcheng is also very good. will give Bong Joon-ho enough freedom, not only because Bong Joon-ho's identity is a director, but also because Kim Kyung-sung knows that a director like Bong Joon-ho will be too restrictive if the company restricts him too much. It is possible to curb the release of his talent, and there is enough free space, and Bong Joon-ho will become the top director in the future in his previous life.
As for the girl Gao Yaxing, she is still a young actor who has not officially debuted, she is from Bong Joon-ho's film studio, and she is an actor that Bong Joon-ho wants to focus on cultivating. This time he signed Bong Joon-ho, and Kim Kyung-sung simply signed an economic contract with Gao Yaxing, because he knew that this Gao Yaxing would also have a lot of fame in the future.
After signing the contract and the contract, Jin Jingcheng left the conference room with Han Jiaren, while Shen Lan and Bong Joon-ho and others stayed, since the contract was signed, it means that the movie is about to be filmed, and some important details will inevitably have to be communicated and discussed.
After walking out of the conference room, Jin Jingcheng asked Han Jiaren: "Is the meeting boring?"
Han Jiaren smiled and said, "It's a little boring." ”
Jin Jingcheng smiled and said: "You have to adapt as soon as possible, because when you finish your MBA in the future, meetings may become a kind of daily routine." ”
Han Jiaren nodded: "Yes." ”
Jin Jingcheng immediately asked, "What do you want to eat at noon?"
Han Jiaren said: "Let's go home and eat, I'll go to the mall below to buy some vegetables, and it will be ready soon." ”
Jin Jingcheng nodded, he, like Han Jiaren, prefers to eat at home than eating out, especially the dishes made by Han Jiaren himself, for him, it is a kind of enjoyment, and there is an extra taste of home in the deliciousness.
……
