Chapter 362 Negotiations(2/2)
"I don't mean that." After reluctantly giving face, Kim Jong-ming continued to explain to Zheng Ho-sung impatiently. "Secretary Zheng, among these seventeen movies, there are also grades. Some of them invest only a few billion won, and one million viewers can make a profit; some of them are close to the 10 billion won, so it doesn't matter if they are more or less. Generally speaking, this is a serious mainstream production scale. If you want to recover the cost of this level of movies, the profit and loss point is generally between 200 and 3 million viewers. If you have a low level, at least the producer will lose money!"
Zheng Hucheng and An Zhongfan were a little more serious because they probably heard a little of the taste.
"Advance, like the "Veter" I am filming now," Kim Jong-ming continued. "There is a very successful original comic book from this kind of movie, and then there are lineups like Hwang Jung-min, Oh Da-soo, and Liu Haizhen. Those two said, can I still set my goal at the level of just two to three million viewers?"
"Of course not, that would lead to a loss." An Zhongfan continued to pretend to be a friend and smiled. "The copyright of the comics is a lot of money, and the pay of the top actors is a lot of money, not to mention that you don't even have a single pay, but in fact the most valuable person is in it."
"It's true." Kim Jong-ming responded to An Jong-fan, but his eyes were looking at Jung Ho-sung. "But this can actually be said in the opposite way. We also said that this movie is played by Kim Jong-ming, so when I came up, I set my goal on a very high line of 6 million viewers, otherwise I would lose face. It is precisely because of such a successful line that was quite high from the beginning that I need to find a well-known comic to be a script and a senior Huang Zhengmin and others to join... Because of these guarantees, I can have enough confidence to hit this goal. And more importantly, with comic fans and actors as the foundation, I can ensure that no matter how bad the movie is, it will not make me feel embarrassed!"
Zheng Hucheng finally nodded slightly. He had already understood some of the other party's ideas: "You want to say you get what you pay for. The movie that the president explained was originally a very high-level goal, which cannot be compared with other movies, and we cannot compare and discuss movies like "The Veteran" with a regular production model?"
"That's right." Kim Jong-ming smiled and nodded. "Secretary Zheng, ask yourself, what do the President assigned me in person to me? How much do I have to do to pass this movie?"
"I don't count on this." Zheng Hucheng replied a little embarrassedly.
"This is not a question of whether it counts or not." Kim Jong-ming sneered. "Because the answer is very obvious, the limit of Korean movies is there, and my Kim Jong-ming and my CJ can indeed represent the limit of Korean movies! So let me just say that 10 million viewers pass, 12 million viewers are good, and 14 million viewers are considered to have won the best!"
"It's true." Zheng Hucheng nodded seriously. "Only this achievement can satisfy the president."
"Then let's continue to think about it according to the original idea... Six million viewers need a script of that level and a lineup of actors, which is basically enough. A large scene, large special effects and long cycles will be wasted! But what about 12 million? Is it the same thing? And the more you reach the limit, the harder it is, normal people know this, right?"
"That's true," Zheng Hucheng sighed. "I understand the truth. I will definitely convey it seriously after I go back, but you may have to give me something clear. Otherwise, when I go back to see the president in the afternoon, I can't tell her that this movie is special, and your hair is short and your knowledge is short, right?"
"Of course there is no problem." Kim Jong-ming responded calmly. "We just said that our CJ Pictures now has 17 movies in operation at the same time. In fact, in addition to the one explained by the president, there is also an ambition work that can be compared with it. In other words, it is also a movie that goes to the limit. This movie has nothing to do with whom's requirements. It completely represents our CJ's own ambition... Well, it was officially launched more than a month ago. Do you two know when I plan to release this movie? To be honest, you will see that the film is completed in a year! In other words, you will see that this time next year!"
Zheng Hucheng immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "This is easy to deal with. In fact, it is difficult for us laymen to say a little bit of time and how much investment it is. However, I think if there is another masterpiece of the same level as the reference object, then the president will have nothing to say... I would like to ask, what is the theme of the other movie? The name is not decided, right?"
"This is decided." Kim Jong-ming continued to respond calmly. "Because the script of this movie does not need to start from scratch, the theme story was decided several hundred years ago... The movie is called "Mingliang"!"
Zheng Ho-sung and Ahn Jong-bang were both stunned, and then after looking at each other, they no longer had any doubts about Kim Jong-ming. After all, for Koreans, if this story is filmed and not hit the box office limit, it would be called self-deception! And Kim Jong-ming compares the movie explained by the president with this, and I think there is nothing to say on the president's side anyway.
"Since that's the case," Kim Jong-ming looked at the expressions of the two people in front of him, and then couldn't help but roll his eyes. "Secretary Zheng also asked me a question. I just made a decision last night and went to find people from all sides to coordinate the final shooting venue of the movie "Veter". Why do you know? And from what you meant just now, the president seems to know, and he is a little dissatisfied. Your message... is coming quickly enough!"
Zheng Hucheng was extremely embarrassed: "That... is a bit of a coincidence, but one of the ones you called yesterday happened to be my friend..."
"That's easy." Jin Zhongming nodded as usual. "Secretary Zheng's friend who works in the transportation department disagreed with help. He did not bother the second master in one's case. Please help Secretary Zheng solve this problem!"
"It's easy to say!" Zheng Hucheng was granted a general amnesty. "It's easy to say."
At this point, both Kim Jong-ming and the two in front of him seemed to have no interest in continuing to talk. However, in fact, the three of them still sat in the same place without moving, nor did they move the food and drinks on the table. Kim Jong-ming was not sure what the two thought, but for him, even after the negotiations, he still felt that he had forgotten something very important and important and had not been resolved.
"that……"
“By the way…”
Zheng Hucheng and An Zhongfan suddenly spoke in unison, but after hearing each other's voices, they closed their mouths together, and they didn't know what kind of maneuver they were hitting.
But it doesn't matter. Kim Jong-ming has already remembered what happened: "Speaking of this, we have talked so much today. Haven't you told me who is the leader of the Creation Economic Promotion Group this time? If you don't say this, how can I help Chief An in the evening to promote people? Is it a veteran of Zhongqing-do, or is it just a person sent from your secretary's office? Or is it a famous professor or scholar in the circle?"
Zheng Hucheng did not speak, but quickly looked up at the paintings on the pavilion... This is understandable. Anyway, Kim Jong-ming has already asked, and An Zhongfan's responsibilities must be replied, so he can naturally hide in his spare time.
However, An Zhongfan, who was responsible, opened his mouth and did not say it out immediately, and he didn't know what he was worried about.
"What's going on?" Of course, Kim Jong-ming was not stupid, he became sensitive immediately. "Could this candidate have some problems with me? It can't be that Secretary-General Jin Qichun, who has returned regardless of the car accident, has come back?"
"That won't be." An Zhongfan swallowed, then gritted his teeth and gave a reply. "Actually, the president seems to think Director Che Enze is quite suitable for this position."
"What's the matter?" Kim Jong-ming didn't react immediately. "Which Che Enze?"
"Representative Kim Jong-ming." Zheng Hu quickly explained that the situation was not good. "Director Che Enze also knows you. If you two can work together sincerely..."
Halfway through the words, he couldn't continue because Kim Jong-ming stood up with a dark face, as if he was about to leave. Now, Zheng Hu-sung and An Zhongfan had to hurry forward and pull each other, one left and one right.
"Mr. Jin, Representative Jin, listen to my advice!" An Zhongfan looked helpless. "We also know that it is a bit embarrassing for you to be under this person, but no matter what the president has to offer you some face, right?"
"I want to sell some face." Kim Jong-ming suddenly sniffed inexplicably when he heard this. "But when the president does this, how can I still have any face to sell? Two, let me just say that no matter what, I can't let such a slut ride on my head, otherwise I won't be in the cultural industry circle..."
"It's all over!" Zheng Hucheng was helpless. "Mr. Che Enze is a famous director after all, and he is also the president's confidant..."
Chapter completed!
