Chapter 34 Liu Zaishi's Invitation
If "Movie Is Movie" develops according to normal history, there will be about 1.5 million viewers in the end, far lower than the current 2 million. It can be said that Kim Jong-kwon's addition has led to a total of 500,000 viewers in this movie. This has to be attributed to Kim Jong-kwon's "inspiration" in his mind, which has led to a more rigorous and careful shooting of the movie. The choice of some of the scenes is far better than the original, which is also the main reason why the crew almost collapsed.
The gimmick of Kim Jong-kwon's "real fight" between So Ji-sup, coupled with Kim Jong-kwon's unexpected gains in variety shows and the help of friends in the circle, is the reason why this movie is more successful. Of course, our client Kim Jong-kwon doesn't know at all. He doesn't know what kind of performance this movie will be without him. He just chose to believe in his "inspiration" and choose to do things the best. In the end, he succeeded, and it can be said that everyone in the crew succeeded.
In such an "off-season", they can be proud of their reputation and box office success with such a low-cost work.
Although it cannot be compared with "The Chaser" which was released in February, it can be said that "The Chaser" has completely exploded in all aspects. "The Chaser" was released for two months, and finally exceeded 5 million viewers, becoming a miracle in South Korea in 2008.
Compared with this, the achievements of "Movie Is a Movie" are not worth mentioning. But no one will feel discouraged. The success of "The Chaser" can be said to be irreplicable. There will be no murderer Liu Yongzhe to cause panic to the masses. Even if there will be similar "killing incidents" in the future, people will not have such great "interest".
The success of "Movie Is Movie" has indeed affected many people. Among them, the most obvious change is Kim Jong-kwon. As a patient with late-stage lazy cancer, he was too idle to bear the days before. People are always a group animal. If they really slept at home until they died every day, Kim Jong-kwon felt that he had almost "wake up" before...
This time, he was no longer ignored. Kim Jong-kwon has indeed entered people's sight with his performance in the movie. Someone really wanted to find him to film, because Kim Jong-kwon doesn't even have an agent so he finally contacted Kim Jong-kwon through Yoo Jae-suk, which made this good man full of resentment towards Kim Jong-kwon and urged him to find an agent as soon as possible to save people from calling him.
Kim Jong-kwon was ashamed and could not face Yoo Jae-suk. It was not that he had never thought about finding an agent, but he used to be like a passerby. It was not until recently that he really felt like an artist, and it was not too late. The main reason why he is not in a hurry to find an agent is actually because of So Ji-sup. That's right, it is because of this brother. This brother has made it clear that he will not renew his contract with his current agency again, and the contract will expire in the second half of this year.
So Ji-seok, who finally finished filming the scene and flew back from RB, was thrown away by the Economic Company a new script "Cain and Abel", a love drama about medical care. The Economic Company is preparing to squeeze the final value of So Ji-seok, after all, this is the last year of So Ji-seok's contract.
So Ji-seok, who had just returned from flying back, went directly to the economic company despite his fatigue and clearly expressed his anger. He just wanted to get together and part, and he could make concessions in some aspects. But unfortunately, the agency treated So Ji-seok's previous "obedient" behavior as weakness and compromise. The outbreak of So Ji-seok finally made the economic company sober. He was no longer the young actor they had just taken control of.
Now So Ji-seok has opened up the door to the film industry with "Movie Is Movie", with a bright future, and it is completely in line with their interests to fight with such an actor. So after a confrontation, the agency also made a regression. This is the last script that So Ji-seok took in the company. After filming this drama, he immediately terminated the contract. He would not use any means afterwards, nor would he stumbling over So Ji-seok. Everyone would be together and would be friends in the future.
So Ji-seok, who was unswerving, thought about it and finally reluctantly agreed. Fortunately, the drama was just launched and there was still some time before filming, which gave So Ji-seok a chance to buffer. So Ji-seok, who had encountered this, finally made up his mind. So Ji-seok was about to establish his own economic company after leaving the economic company.
Kim Jong Kwon, who learned about this idea at the first time, made a direct statement, saying that Brother Ji Seok, I will go wherever you go, and listened to him completely. After So Ji Seok got his younger brother's support and trust, he even wiped out his anxiety and anxiety.
"Even if it's not for himself, this agency must be done well." So Ji-seok looked at Kim Jong-kwon who comforted him and thought firmly.
................
"Hey, what are these?"
Kim Jong-kwon looked at the pile of scripts in front of him with a headache. Some were sent to him through Yoo Jae-suk, and some were sent to him through So Ji-suk. After receiving these scripts, Kim Jong-kwon felt that his head was about to explode after reading them. They were all "low-cost" movies, and the plot was even more messy and bloody. At a glance, you knew that he wanted to use his name to make a fortune and make a fortune.
After throwing away these "trash", there were several "serious" scripts, but they were invited to play the third, fourth, fifth and sixth male leads. Not to mention whether Kim Jong-kwon could read these scripts. Such an invitation was a blow to him, making him put away all his pride and complacency. He completely understood that he was still a low-level actor and did not soar with a movie.
Kim Jong-kwon, who had been picking around, even expected the "spiritual light" in his mind to flash, so that he could give him some reference. Now he gradually figured out some rules, as if only specific people or things could trigger the emergence of "spiritual light". The greater the future achievements or fame, the higher the chance of triggering, and the more pictures it flashes.
Unfortunately, he read all the scripts he had accumulated during this period, and the "inspiration" he was looking forward to did not appear. Helplessly, Kim Jong-kwon threw the last script on the table. Now he is very cautious in choosing the next script. Because of the success of the first movie, people will start to pay attention to him and the performance of his next work. It is also to judge whether he is a flash in the pan or really has the ability to gain a foothold in this circle.
It can be said that his next film determines his development for a long time. If the next work is still very popular, then there will be more than this script, there will be a lot of scripts for him to choose from, and more well-known directors will ask him to cooperate with. If the next work is lost, he will be beaten back to the prototype, struggling little by little at the bottom, waiting for the "**** luck" that will come to him and let him crawl out again.
So now he has to be unscrupulous. If there is no good choice, he will agree to continue to be idle and will not easily accept a script. What's more, there are too few people who are looking for him to be the starring actor now, almost all the third male leads, and there are too few scenes, so one book asks him to play the second male lead or play a perverted villain.
The villain is just a villain, it doesn’t matter to this Kim Jong-kwon. Looking at the history of movies, many people have played villains and even created many classics. But the villain in this drama is really a true "pervert", peeping, following, molesting, strong and violent, and there are only one scumbag in the whole article. How can you play such a villain Kim Jong-kwon? He also needs to carefully choose the role!
Now Kim Jong-kwon is really worried. Even if he decides not to shoot any good works, he will not shoot them. However, as a newcomer who has just entered the industry, has not been released for a long time and will be forgotten immediately if he does not appear in front of the audience. Therefore, he can't find a solution at all.
Just when Kim Jong-kwon was worried, the phone rang. It was Yoo Jae-suk who had been having a hot conversation with Kim Jong-kwon recently.
"Yo no, Brother Shi, who asked you to send the script? Just help me reply. These scripts are really weird." Kim Jong-kwon lay on the sofa, looking like he was dying.
"Ah! What are you brothers? Are you your agent?" Liu Jae-suk's furious cry came from the phone.
"Haha, Brother Jae-seok, I'm going to be steady. I'm saying the wrong thing. I'm looking for it. It's too soon." Hearing Yoo Jae-seok's complaint, Kim Jong-seok was also embarrassed. He has been troubled by Yoo Jae-seok recently. He is a national MC. He gives you a young actor to do the work of an agent. Who would believe it if it is spread? If it is really spread, Kim Jong-seok will probably have an additional one million anti in one day!
"Forget it, you kid can only use this sentence to perfunctory me. It's been so long since. If you want to find it, you'll have found it long ago." Yoo Jae-suk directly exposed his perfunctory words, which made Kim Jong-kwon feel embarrassed. After all, So Ji-seok can't tell Brother Shi about this matter yet. Now that the contract has not expired, there will be many troubles when this matter is exposed in advance. This is something that neither he nor So Ji-seok want to happen.
"Brother Jae-seok, I have always kept your help to me in my heart. If it weren't for Brother Jae-seok's care, I wouldn't be who I am now." After being embarrassed, Kim Jong-kwon also expressed his feelings. Jae-seok, who has always taken care of him, helped him, and even kept mentioning him in dealing with people. Kim Jong-kwon only has gratitude and respect for him. The reason why he left all the things to Brother Jae-seok to help him deal with was because Kim Jong-kwon trusted Yoo Jae-suk very much, and he no longer regarded him as an outsider.
When Liu Jae-suk heard Kim Jong-kwon's voice on the phone, he smiled with emotion and gratitude. No one wanted the person he gave was a "white-eyed wolf". He became famous and became famous and played a big name and did not recognize people. Liu Jae-suk has seen too many people. Such people will only be glorious for a while and will not have any major development, because their character has offended too many people invisibly, and such people cannot survive here.
So Yoo Jae-suk’s complaints and being polite just now can be regarded as a test to see if Kim Jong-kwon will ‘look down on’ him after becoming popular. Will he become arrogant? And Kim Jong-kwon’s answer also made him very pleased. This is a person who is grateful for his kindness and values feelings.
"It just so happens that there is something that needs your help from Zhong Quan. I will come out to drink tonight. I will introduce you to seniors to know you!" Yoo Jae-suk, who learned that Kim Jong-kwon was thinking, was relieved and said without hesitation.
