Chapter 1355 The Three Major Korean Film Investment Distributors (Part 2)
LOTTE Entertainment Company, the film department of Jile-Tian Group.
This company has only started to invest in film production this year, but it is very strong in the Korean theater market because of the big chaebol background of Youle-Tian Group. In other words, the company has just entered the film investment and production field, but it is very awesome in film distribution and theater, so it can also be among the three major film investors in Korea.
Kim Jingcheng also had some understanding of this company in his previous life. As far as Kim Jingcheng knew, hundreds of Korean movies such as "Extraordinary Anchor", "The Final Weapon: The Bow", "Introduction to Architecture", "Harde: The Concubine of the Emperor", "Su Yuan", "Horror Live" in the past life were invested and produced by LOTTE Entertainment Company.
There is a saying that it is easy to cool off by leaning on a big tree. It is not unreasonable. It is precisely because LOTTE Entertainment Company belongs to LeTian Group, even if it has just begun to invest in and produce movies this year, it is inevitable that it will develop rapidly in this area in the future.
...
Yes, CJ Entertainment, Showbox, and LOTTE Entertainment, these three companies are currently the three major movie investment publishers in South Korea, and of course, there are not only these three major movie investment publishers in South Korea, but also some other movie investment publishers.
Because Kim Jingcheng wants to lead C Entertainment to attack the Korean cinema industry and further take over the Korean film market, Kim Jingcheng's style of acting will of course have a detailed understanding and research on the Korean film market and the theater industry recently.
As far as Kim Jong-sung knows, in South Korea, in terms of film investment and distribution, there are three companies including CJ Entertainment, Showbox, and LOTTE Entertainment, followed by Cinema-Service.
Cinema-Service is a Korean film production and distribution company founded in 1993 by director Kang Diaosuo and renamed it to Cinema-Service in 1995. It sponsored, distributed and produced some of the most influential films in South Korea over the past decade, establishing a solid foundation for the Korean film industry.
I remember that "The King's Man", which Kim Jingcheng participated in the investment, not only used the distribution resources of three investment companies including CJ Entertainment, but also specially found Cinema-Service, a film production and distribution company, and used the company's film distribution resources, which also shows that this company is very awesome in Korean movie distribution.
The films invested and produced by Cinema-Service include "Lasso", "Red Man and Ghost Love", "Single Police", "Bedroom and Court", "Nowhere to Hidden", "Immortal Famous Works", "Naughty Bread", "Kidnap Dog at the Door", "Marrying a Dog", "Black Narcissus", "Killer Company", "Si Tail Island", "Vacation", "Ghost Haunted House", "Public Enemy 2", "Lizard", "Yuan Zhuo's Angel", etc.
In fact, Jin Jingcheng, a previous life, had a little understanding of the film production and distribution company Cinema-Service. The reason why he understood it was mainly because Jin Jingcheng liked a Korean movie "Uncle" (also known as "The Lonely Agent"), which was invested and produced and distributed by this company.
...
In addition, as far as Kim Jong-sung knows, in the past life, there were not only three major movie investment publishers in South Korea, but also four majors. However, one of the more is not Cinema-Service, but another rising rookie, which is the rising rookie.
NEW Film Investment and Distribution Company opened in 2008. Some of the employees are those who have left or been fired from the former three major Korean film investment publishers. They have rich experience, know how to endure hardships and know how to deal with their peers.
As expected, NEW ranked among the top three Korean film market share for two consecutive years in 2010 and 2011. In 2012, "The Saint" directed by Kim Ki-dou was handed over to NEW for release, and the cumulative number of viewers in the end exceeded 600,000, which was the best result of Kim Ki-dou's films after "Bad Boy" (740,000 viewers in 2002).
The biggest difference between NEW and the other three Korean film investment publishers is that it does not have its own theater chain and has no advantage in filming. It can gain a foothold in the fiercely competitive distribution industry, relying on the precise industry perspective. Its investment and release of movies is a meticulous type, not to seek quality in quantity. The films released are generally of excellent quality and are also very appealing to the audience.
In my previous life, the Korean movies invested and distributed by NEW company include "Chingtan Cave Bodhisattva", "Happy Family", "I Love You", "Poetry", "The Most Beautiful Farewell in the World", "Love Novel", "Diding with the Wind", "Band Post", "Holy Sadness", "Everything of My Wife", "Gift in Room 7", "Defense Attorney", "Poison in the World", "Sea Fog", etc.
There are several movies in my previous life, and Jin Jingcheng liked them very much, such as "Happy Family", "Everything from My Wife", and "The Gift from Room 7".
The most worth mentioning is undoubtedly the movie "The Gift from Room 7".
In his previous life, the investment and publisher of "The Gift of Room 7" was NEW. Although NEW does not have its own theater chain, it can gain advantages in filming, mainly relying on the reputation and box office appeal of the film. In this regard, the success of "The Gift of Room 7" with the movie itself is even more convincing.
In the past life, the rise of NEW, a rising star, broke the situation where the Korean film investment and distribution industry was divided into three parts by CJ Entertainment, Showbox, and LOTTE Entertainment, and injected new vitality into the Korean film market. It also shows that the situation where the original three major Korean film investment and distributors unified the world will never be returned.
...
Now, on November 1, 2006, C Entertainment Company acquired a cinema located in Chungwu Road, Seoul, which was officially announced that Kim Jong-sung will lead C Entertainment Company to attack the Korean cinema industry and further take over the Korean film market.
Jin Jingcheng is very confident in himself, of course, not blindly confident, but based on sufficient planning.
Kim Jingcheng has several advantages in attacking the Korean cinema industry and truly capturing the Korean film market.
First, he has enough capital and connections.
Secondly, he understood the general changes in the Korean film market in his previous life, especially the rise of NEW, the rising star. Therefore, Kim Jong-sung had already planned to replace NEW in his previous life with C Entertainment Company, impressed those who had left or were fired from the three largest Korean film investment publishers with high salaries, and invested in and issued some movies invested and distributed by NEW in his previous life.
Third, Kim Jingcheng's previous investment in "Avatar" has laid a bomb for the future of the Korean film market. Once this bomb explodes, it will cause C Entertainment to "make troubles" in the film market and hit its opponents severely.
Although NEW was a rising star in his previous life, in Jin Jingcheng's opinion, this is not enough.
Kim Jingcheng's goal is to not only make C Entertainment Company the largest film investment distributor in South Korea, but also have the largest and best cinema chains in South Korea!
