[Comprehensive Korean Drama] "Core" Life

Taking advantage of the upsurge caused by the national audition, the live-action movie made with the selected actors received a lot of attention. Before the Shinhwa Group could find someone to promote it, reporters flocked to expose it.The propaganda department under Shinhwa Group came to cooperate with it, and the film became popular before it was released.

After the film was released, the number of viewers hit a record high, and the attendance rate was over 80.00%.Most of the people who have watched the movie have positive comments on the film, thinking that it is very delicate and touching, and the media also have positive comments on it.Therefore, while the film won word-of-mouth, it also boosted the attendance rate, and theaters ushered in a movie-watching boom.

Originally, Shinhwa Group felt that the arrangement for the release of the film could meet the needs of the audience, but they did not expect that the response would be so enthusiastic after the release of the film, and the original arrangement was insufficient.Faced with this situation, Shinhwa Group hastened to make copies, and negotiated with the theater to increase the number of screenings.Taking advantage of this shareholder style, animated films were also released. In addition to viewers who were curious about animated films, many people who had watched live-action films went to the cinema to watch them again. Therefore, the income statistics of animated films frightened Shinhwa Group The film and television department jumped, and the income of live-action movies was comparable.

When real movies and animated movies are showing, it is estimated that the share price of Shinhwa Group has almost reached the peak, Xin Ai sells all the shares of Shinhwa Group in her hands, saves the money earned together with the capital, and hands it all over to Shun Ren .Shun Ren took it over, and was surprised and delighted to see the number doubled on the passbook.

Less than a week after the animation film ended, Xin Ai received a notice and came to the film and television department of Seoul Shinhwa Group to meet Kim Jong-soo who had made an appointment.After the two met and greeted each other, they turned to the main topic. Kim Jong-soo took out a document and handed it to her, "Student Choi, this is the statistics of the movie viewing after the release of the animated film, please take a look." Then he handed a check to Xin Ai, "Student Cui, this is your reward. Please check to see if the number on the check is correct."

At the beginning, Kim Jong-soo was persuaded by Xinai to buy the right to adapt the animated film, but it was a new thing after all. The price Kim Jong-soo offered did not meet Xinai’s expectations, and they couldn’t agree on it. In the end, Xinai took a step back and paid the adaptation fee The reduction, but after the animated film is released, she will be divided according to the box office.

There is still a blank market for animated films. Although Kim Jong-soo thinks this market has great promise, he doesn't think the first shot will be successful.For this animated film with the same name that has been changed, he feels that the production cost can be almost recovered by selling it to TV as a cartoon. With the help of real film screenings, some people should go to the cinema to watch it and make a small profit. Already very good.

It is precisely because he feels that not many people will go to see animated films, so Kim Jong-soo agreed to Xin Ai's request to reduce the adaptation fee and the film's share, and set the box office share at a height that he thought was impossible to achieve.Only when the box office reaches this figure, can Xinai have the possibility to share.In Kim Jong-soo's view, some live-action movies have not met this requirement after the screening, and animation movies are even more impossible. Therefore, Shinhwa Group's commitment to Xinai's film and television share is nothing but a castle in the air.

Xinai saw his mentality, so he made further requirements on the share.For example, if the number of viewers reaches 500 million, she will get 700/[-], and if it reaches [-] million, she will get [-]/[-], increasing step by step.After discussing with each other, Kim Jong-soo agreed, but he increased the box office revenue to a higher level, and other requirements remained unchanged.

The people present at the time saw this as an unbelievable goal that could not be achieved at all, and it was extremely harsh.For Xinai, it's all about drawing cakes to satisfy one's hunger.Xin Ai agreed without hesitation.To their questions, Xin Ai replied, anyway, no matter whether it is the previous box office revenue or the latter one, since they can't reach it, it doesn't matter if the standard is set high or low.

Because of Xin Ai's answer, Kim Jong-soo, who was negotiating with Xin Ai at that time, had a feeling of "bullying". Therefore, he originally wanted to divide into standards, and Xin Ai's share in it was further requested, but the result was not changed. Sign the contract directly according to the number negotiated originally.At that time, I thought it was taking advantage of it. After the animation film screening was over and the statistics came down, Kim Jong-soo lamented his mistake.

Originally, the money that Xin Ai took could be reduced, but because she was a child and her family environment was like that, Kim Jong-soo was shown to be weak by Xin Ai, and was soft-hearted for a while, and did not lower it after raising the box office share standard. It is divided into proportions, so that it suffers.It's just that this is not Kim Jong-soo's fault. After all, before the animated film was released, no one thought that its box office would be so high.At that time, after Kim Jong-soo reported the negotiated contract, his superiors also praised him for signing the contract well and for negotiating a good price.

After checking the information, Xinai saw that the numbers on the check were correct, took out the passbook that He Shunren had made in his own name when he collected the adaptation fee at the bank, handed it over, and asked, "Mr. Transfer to this account?"

If you use a check, you need to help her get the money out.But she didn't intend to hand over the money to Shun Ren, so she didn't want Shun Ren to know about it, so she wanted to deposit the money directly in an account under her name, and then use the ATM to withdraw money in the future, so as to avoid the problem of her age.

Jin Zhengzhu nodded in agreement, called his assistant Zheng Yuan, told him Xin Ai's request, then handed him the check and Xin Ai's passbook, and asked him to go to the property department to handle the matter.

After Zheng Yuan withdrew, Kim Jong-soo chatted with Xin Ai, and the topic talked about the share that Xin Ai received this time. Kim Jong-soo smiled and said: "Student Cui, I have been struggling in the mall for many years, but I didn't expect to see it this time." Eyes. Classmate Cui's business sense is really sharp, which is surprising. If Classmate Cui is in business, I am afraid that I, a senior, will have to give way. In the future, Classmate Cui will definitely be a very good businessman."

Xin Ai did not take the credit for herself, and said sincerely, "Thank you senior for the compliment. In fact, it was just a mistake. I haven't figured out what to do in the future. It may not be a business." She hasn't graduated from elementary school yet, It is too early to decide on a future career at this time.

"Really?" Jin Zhengzhu saw from Xin Ai's attitude that Xin Ai was telling the truth, and couldn't help sighing: "It would be a pity if classmate Cui didn't go into business!"

To break through the gap in the animated film market, to have confidence in the box office of animated films, to suggest that film actors be auditioned across the country... There are many, many, and there are Xinai figures.She possesses such abilities at such a young age, if she does not go into business in the future, it will definitely be a waste of her talent!

Knowing that Kim Jong-soo cared about the mistakes in the box office share of animated films, Xin Ai said sincerely: "Whether seniors believe it or not, I am actually not as confident in the box office of animated films as my seniors thought. When we were negotiating conditions, I What I said was the truth, and I was surprised by this result.”

"Uh? Is that so?" Jin Zhengzhu looked at Xinai suspiciously, raised his eyebrows slightly, and asked, "Then why did you propose such a method? Accept those who have no objection to raising the box office standard?" He I think Xin Ai is not telling the truth.

Sighing, Xin Ai said: "Senior, my work itself is drawn as a manga, and it is made into an animation. The production cost is far lower than that of a live-action movie. I know that this is an animated movie from Shinhwa Group Film and Television. It was an attempt at the Ministry, but compared with the adaptation fee of a live-action movie, the animation adaptation fee of less than 1000 million is really not high. The manga was taken a fancy to, and it was made into an animation and broadcast on TV, which is almost the same price. Obviously it is an animation movie, The predecessors equated it with a children's cartoon, which I cannot accept. Although it is an animated movie, it is a movie after all, and I don't want the trade union to come to my door."

Because movies are promoted to the whole world, and TV is too much spread on a national scale, so the influence of each other is different.So it is a convention that movies have a higher status than TV.In terms of money, it is the level of the price.Animated films do not need actors, and the requirements for directors are different from those of live-action films. The script is the first.Only good stories can attract people to watch.

Screenwriters are in the upper reaches of the Korean film and television industry chain and have a high status. They not only have the right to interpret and modify the script, but can even choose directors and actors.Some well-known screenwriters will also customize scripts for their favorite actors.In order to protect the rights and interests of screenwriters, the Korean Screenwriters Union has relevant price references for the price of scripts.Although the Screenwriters Union is not an official organization, it is very powerful and will provide screenwriters with relevant services, training, marketing of scripts, and legal protection.

This animated film released by Shinhwa Group is the first animated film in the history of Korean film.Xin Ai's works are written in the form of comics. Unlike shooting live-action movies, the stories need to be re-adapted. Basically, it is enough to copy them into animated movies, and there are not many changes that need to be made.So it is not an exaggeration to say that Xin Ai is the screenwriter of this animated film.Now that you are a screenwriter, you naturally have to abide by the rules.

Hearing what Xin Ai said, Kim Jong-soo suddenly realized.It’s not that he forgot the existence of the screenwriters’ union, but that when he first negotiated the contract, he didn’t regard the animated film as a movie at all, but regarded it as a cartoon broadcast on the TV station, which is why the price he gave was so low. The reason is that the price is about the same as that of cartoons.

Kim Jong-soo felt that Xin Ai was too cautious, and said disapprovingly: "This market was still blank before. The film we produced is the first animated film in Korean history. I am afraid that the trade union's regulations do not have specific details in this regard." According to the regulations, you just get paid according to children’s cartoons, and the trade union can’t tell you anything about what reason to come to you.”

Xin Ai smiled, "Senior said yes. The trade union didn't have this regulation before, which doesn't mean there won't be any in the future. Besides, anyone can look down on animated movies, only I can't. If I accept the price given by the senior, even if I don't This meaning will also be seen as that meaning. As the first screenwriter of an animated film, I don’t want to be criticized in the future.”

Regardless of whether Xin Ai will eat the film and television dinner in the future, as a participant in the first animated film in Korean film history, Xin Ai can definitely leave her name in the film history, but she does not want to leave her name at the same time, because the adaptation fee violates the Industry rules, leaving another notoriety.

Kim Jong-soo was speechless by Xin Ai's words, she sighed: "Since it is impossible for you to raise the adaptation fee, senior, then it is normal for me to find another way. If I take a step back and can increase the change fee, why would I be willing to do so?" No? But I didn’t expect you, senior, to set this condition so harshly. At that time, I had already rejected the idea of ​​directly taking the adaptation fee. The idea of ​​sharing the film’s box office was proposed by myself. right?"

Xin Ai smiled bitterly, "It's impossible to turn around and get the adaptation fee directly. In this way, I have to bite the bullet and go on. The box office standard set by the senior is so high, I can't let the senior lower the standard. If you agree, you can only agree. If you don’t agree, if you don’t sign the contract, senior has nothing to lose. After all, the animation film is my proposal to senior, and it doesn’t matter whether senior does it or not. We have to take responsibility. Compared with the seniors, I can't afford to lose. If the seniors don't do it, I will lose a sum of income. The seniors know the situation of my family. For us, every penny counts. It is good."

Xin Ai told the truth, telling the truth about her situation at that time.In that case, she had no choice at all.As for the box office of animated films, although she is not as pessimistic as Kim Jong-soo, she really did not expect it to be so high.After all, movie box office is unpredictable.

She once watched a popular comedy movie during the Spring Festival.To be honest, after watching it, she felt that it was not as good as the first film describing the Spring Festival travel, but it created a box office miracle, with a total box office of more than 10 billion yuan, suppressing many well-known big directors that were screened at the same time. No movie has broken its box office record so far, but she really doesn't see it coming.

Although the contract was finally signed, Xin Ai really had no hope for it.She even regretted it a little. If she had known that the conditions would become like this, she might as well have agreed to take the money directly.But the film and television rules are there, she absolutely cannot accept that price.Fortunately, the final result is gratifying. For Xinai, this money is really a windfall.

Xin Ai's words made sense and convinced Kim Jong-soo.He didn't hold on to that question anymore, thought for a while, and asked, "Student Cui, will you go to university in the future?" According to the investigation, Cui Xinai's grades are very good. For her family, studying is her only thing. way out.

"Yeah." Xin Ai nodded, and said, "If there is no accident, I will go to college." Good grades in elementary school are nothing.There are excellent students in elementary school, but there are many poor students in middle school and high school.

Jin Zhengzhu understood the meaning of Xinai's words and smiled, "If classmate Cui's grades in junior high school remain at the current level, when you are promoted to high school, I recommend classmate Cui to go to the school established by our group company— — How about enrolling in Shinhwa High School?"

Shinhwa Group built a school in South Korea, superficially because the chairman of the group wants to cultivate the patriotic complex of the family children, but in fact it is to make connections for the family children, and to find talents by the way is its real purpose.

Because of Xin Ai's suggestion, Shinhwa Group has achieved twice the result with half the effort in opening up new markets. Compared with the planned plan, the task has been overfulfilled!The time saved, the manpower, material resources and money invested can completely prepare another branch company.Such a talent, Shinhwa Group will certainly not let it go, and will recruit under its command.

"Go to Shinhwa High School?" Xin Ai was taken aback for a moment, then realized it immediately, thought for a while, and said, "It's a great honor, I'm here to thank my seniors first." She agreed first.

Kim Jong-soo and Xin Ai agreed that when they were introducing the situation of Shinhwa High School to Xin Ai, Zheng Yuan walked in after finishing the work.After receiving the passbook, Xin Ai sat down for a while, and then bid farewell to Kim Jong-soo.When she got home, she didn't say a word to Seoul and her party.Although Jin Zhengzhu said so, Xinai believes that if she is young, she will not be good in college, and Shinhwa High School may not accept her.

The author has something to say: Good night.
