Chapter 2057 The filmmakers are collectively silent
"It's true. The development speed of Empire Entertainment during this period is extremely fast.
No...or from the day the president founded Empire Entertainment, it was clear that he would take a completely different path than an ordinary brokerage company."
He glanced at the soju in front of Kim Tae-ho, and he was just a cup of strong tea.
Luo Yingshi grinned secretly, but he did not show any dissatisfaction.
This time, Kim Tae-ho announced the completion of "Old Boy" in a "raid" style, and it can be said that he joined forces with Dispatch, which caught all media in Seoul off guard.
On the surface, the entire Seoul entertainment industry and the Internet are in a mess, and countless people are surprised by the re-cooperation between Kang Ho-dong and Yoo Jae-suk, two national MCs.
If it is a variety show, it will be the "X-man" period ten years ago when I hosted it on the same stage twice. Even if I put aside this level, I won't mention it.
There has never been no interaction between the two at the award ceremony of the Three Major Taiwans every year.
But... this time it's different, it's a cooperation in film and television dramas.
Production of Empire Entertainment, released by Cjem, and all cinemas in Seoul and several local cities are released.
Director Kim Tae-ho, plus these two national MCs as the protagonists.
Some netizens who want to pick on this movie think it’s weird no matter how you watch it.
The director had just finished filming a TV series and then entered the movie circle not long after.
Compared with the top Korean directors with rich experience, Kim Tae-ho is a wild person, not to mention that people who don’t understand movies know that shooting variety shows and TV series and movies are not the same thing.
As for the actors, it is difficult to judge how Yoo Jae-suk and Kang Ho-dong's acting skills are for the time being.
Based on the identities of these two people, and the unfair sitcoms she has played in the past, the majority of them are played by funny elements. It is said that they have poor acting skills because they have not acted seriously and seriously.
It would be even more impossible to say that their acting skills are good.
After thinking about it, these passers-by who are active in major forums and ins have begun to hope that several professional filmmakers can comment on this matter. The popularity brought by the verbal battle between artists is enduring.
But... Today's Seoul movie circle seems to be in a deep sleep.
Dispatch president Sun Tailie sat in his office, putting his legs on the desk, and a cup of hot coffee was running in front of him, and a few ice cubes were added.
Before the news was released, it was expected that it would be "the most anticipated movie in the second half of this year". The D-School reporter sent out was back to report it after a long time.
Reason: I interviewed many filmmakers, and everyone's answers were surprisingly consistent.
"I am looking forward to seeing the movies collaborating with Kang Ho Dongxi and Yoo Jae-suk" and "I will definitely send me an invitation letter at that time" and so on.
Such a kind attitude made a group of reporters look at each other, so some people were unwilling to ask these people what they think about the plot outline released by the film party. This idea was just about to come out, but the reporter from D Club found that this seemingly valuable thing is currently being suppressed by the headquarters.
The actors don’t know what the movie “Old Boy” is about. Maybe they can guess some ambiguous things from the name of the movie, but... this is something that only netizens who like to have fun with their brains. Those who claim to be professional filmmakers cannot afford to lose face.
Even if I am curious, I will inquire in private, at least I will not leave any handles in front of the reporter.
If you guess correctly, it would be fine. If you guess wrong, you won’t be able to welcome another wave of public opinion ridicule, and it will be more than worth the effort.
"So, should I post a press release? Someone on the Internet is already discussing why no relevant persons come out to comment?"
"Send it, of course you have to send it..." Sun Tailie looked at the Minister of Information Department with a constipation and smiled.
"It's rare to see these Zhongwu Road filmmakers who dare not shoot "Old Boy". Our D club is not afraid of offending people. Wouldn't it be a pity to miss it like this?"
"President, I think this is a bit strange."
The Minister of News hesitated and said, "This movie is expected to be of the same level as we think, right? Neither Kang Ho-dongxi nor Yoo Jae-suk are people who have not had much experience in filming, and their past sitcoms, including guest appearances or starring scenes, are often taken out in variety shows to whip the corpse.
If the starring actor of this movie was replaced by two other new actors, he might have been picky."
"It seems that even you found something wrong?"
After sniffing a sip of coffee, Sun Tailie put down his legs. "These filmmakers are actually very smart. I told you a long time ago that if you want to continue to be popular in this circle, take advantage of the popularity and put down the wrong things, it is a skill that an artist must learn."
Seeing the other party taking a serious attitude, Sun Tae-rye continued, "Just you said, if this movie was replaced by two other new actors, then with the director Kim Tae-ho, the movie will definitely be questioned and ridiculed by all parties.
But the problem is that the producer and publisher behind this movie may not be a big threat, but if they join forces," he said.
One is an entertainment company with unlimited emerging potential and unfathomable background. It has absorbed various small and medium-sized enterprises in just a few months. Previously, these companies were well-known in South Korea.
Even if some are not famous, their founders have rich experience. Many of them came from the three major societies and even TV stations. Such a group of people gathered together, and even the most proud person will take it seriously.
Another one is the theater chain and overseas distribution channels controlled by CJEM. In Sun Tailie’s view, this is actually the reason why those filmmakers and other related people maintain a consistent attitude.
"CJEM controls 60 to 70% of the theaters in South Korea. Previously, due to the film quota system, many veteran filmmakers and emerging actors from Zhongwu Road have broken up with them, and they have gone on strike several times.
But have you ever seen CJEM make some concessions? That is, the official intervention can only be mediated, rather than ordering CJEM to surrender to this group of artists.
After all, no matter how much trouble, these filmmakers still have to look at the eyes of CJEM and others to have dinner.”
For filmmakers, the most deadly thing is that they cannot produce good works or good scripts they cannot receive, and they have no salary.
Instead, the works they filmed cannot be on the local big screen, and they cannot go abroad through theater distributors. This is the most deadly thing.
Moreover, CJEM has more than just theaters, but also M platform.
Once the audience cannot see the work of an actor on TV and in the cinema, the actor will naturally be forgotten by the public over time. He does not know who he is, and he will become an outdated artist in the future.
Being out of date means that there is no resources, naturally there will be no popularity and no income. In the end, there will be no drama to shoot.
CJEM controls the lifeblood of all Korean filmmakers, and can also decide at will whose works will increase and decrease in the number of films in theaters.
