"In November, the "Butterfly Effect" tornado hits the mainland!" The plane was flying in the blue sky and white clouds. Wan Xiaohu was lying in the luxury cabin, reading the "Global Times" provided on the plane, and was a little too excited to sleep. It is the so-called Singles' Day on November 11th, and the flight is flying from the capital to the capital of South Korea. At this time, the capital of South Korea has not yet been renamed Seoul, and is still called Seoul. He flew to South Korea with Huayi Brothers¡¯ director Zhao Cheng, who specializes in distribution, and others. Together with Li Xia, Zhao Ye and the company¡¯s legal director Liu Susu, he was ready to expand his network in South Korea. In the previous period, "Legend of Hot Blood" has been online for less than two weeks, and it has reached a scale of 100,000 people online at the same time, which is very popular. After the popularity of "The Butterfly Effect" in its first week, it cooled down a bit in its second week, but it was still a hit in movie theaters during this period. The movie was very popular in the Mainland, far exceeding Wan Xiaohu¡¯s expectations. It¡¯s a pity that he didn¡¯t pay much attention to the Mainland at the beginning, which resulted in the Mainland¡¯s share being signed at 28%, which was a bit low. However, no one knew that the movie was so popular in the mainland. Even if Wan Xiaohu wanted to increase the share, Huayi Brothers probably would not agree. "Forget it, it's just a small amount of money. Now that the mainland market is booming, that's all. 50 million box office, production and distribution can be divided into 17.5 million. Even if you give it all to me, it doesn't mean much. Really If you want to make money, you should look overseas and watch "Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon" in North America. I really look forward to the Oscars next year, which will make you excited about Hollywood, and then I can take a ride to North America" "Fantasy about going to the United States. After killing everyone, Wan Xiaohu gradually fell asleep Seoul is the capital of South Korea and one of the top ten international cities in the world. Wan Xiaohu and his party were not pressed for time, so they spent a relaxing day strolling around the streets of Seoul. . The next day, Jin Haozhi, who had already been contacted by fax, met Wan Xiaohu in a cafe. Zhao Ye acted as translator. "Hello Kim Ho-sik, I am Wan Xiaohu, the director of "My Sassy Girl"." "Hello, it's our first time meeting you. Please take care of me." Kim Ho-sik himself has a similar personality to the protagonist in the novel, Morning Glory, and is very shy and introverted. ¡°Moreover, Jin Haozhi is also a very thoughtful young man. He put forward many constructive ideas for the adaptation of his novel. Wan Xiaohu briefly explained the script he wrote to him. Then the two discussed it. Two hours later, Wan Xiaohu proposed: "Well, since you have a lot of ideas, why not join my crew and work with me as a screenwriter." Although Wan Xiaohu has created the script, it does not mean that it cannot be revised. Jin Haozhi Very thoughtful and some ideas, especially the suggestions for the Korean market, are very constructive. "I am willing. Excuse me, do you want to go to China to work?" "Obviously, yes, we came to South Korea this time to find a Korean to be the heroine. I remember that when you were selling the copyright, you talked to Zhao Ye They said that you want Jun Ji-hyun to play the heroine, right?" "Yes, I like Jun Ji-hyun very much. I think she is the Song Mingxi in my mind." "That's just right. You can contact her with us. , when we finalize the candidates, you can go to China with us." "Well, please take care of the director in the future." "We can learn from each other and make progress together." Wan Xiaohu waved, enjoying Jin Haozhi's attitude. Comparatively speaking, Koreans are quite polite. After inviting Kim Ho-sik, it was time to look for a heroine. Although Wan Xiaohu liked Jun Ji-hyun, he didn't necessarily have to use her. It was "My Sassy Girl" that made Jun Ji-hyun famous, not Jun Ji-hyun who made "My Sassy Girl" famous. . He cares that the heroine is Korean, but not whether she is Jun Ji-hyun. Kim Ho-sik likes Jun Ji-hyun very much. In his words, ever since he saw Jun Ji-hyun in Samsung¡¯s Dance commercial, he has been unforgettable. In order to show respect for him as the author of the original work, everyone set out to contact Jun Ji-hyun. Jun Ji-hyun was not very popular at this time. She was just a newcomer highly promoted by Sidus Company. She was a model. She had acted in two TV series "Happy Days" and "My Heart Is Fluttering", but was not the protagonist. She had acted in two movies, "Happy Days" and "My Heart Is Fluttering". White "qingren" Festival" and "Untouchable Lovers". At the same time, she also serves as the host of SBS Pop Song Chart. She is a relatively famous newcomer in South Korea. When I learned that a Chinese film company was planning to select movie heroines in South Korea, Sidus Company was very enthusiastic. The most famous entertainment program in South Korea during this period was not movies or songs, but Korean dramas. Since CCTV broadcast the Korean drama "What Is Love" in 1997, it caused a sensation. Korean dramas immediately became the main strategy for Korean film and television companies, who all want to squeeze into China, which is still a virgin entertainment market.field. However, with so many companies in South Korea, not every company can enter the mainland market. Sidus is a company that has failed to enter the Chinese market. Now that Dandelion Film Company has come, Sidus Company immediately sees the opportunity. "Director Wan Xiaohu, welcome to visit Sidus Company. Our Sidus is a new-concept comprehensive entertainment company with multiple branches. Our fields span music, video and print advertising, and we strive to establish an all-round three-dimensional operation in the recording industry. model and create a new system. We have already started the production of movies and TV series. We believe that Sidus will become the best entertainment company in Korea in the near future.¡± Director Zheng Xuntuo, director of Sidus Company Business Department, introduced enthusiastically, He is the second-in-command of Sidus Company, responsible for the recording business and brokerage business, and Jun Ji-hyun is his signed artist. With the help of officials from the Chinese Embassy in Seoul, Wan Xiaohu easily contacted Sidus Company. After confirmation by the embassy staff, Zheng Xuntuo also found out that Wan Xiaohu was a cutting-edge director in China and was very popular recently. very. "We, Dandelion Film Company, are a small entertainment company in the Mainland. However, we have a deep background in the Mainland, and we have a contracted director with unlimited potential like Director Wan Xiaohu, so our growth is limitless." In order to increase his confidence, Li Xia boasted casually Blow. It¡¯s not an exaggeration, Su Ya is a third-generation celebrity, and Wan Xiaohu does have unlimited potential. "This time, we are mainly selecting the heroine for "My Sassy Girl" and hope to find a suitable candidate from your company. At the same time, we are also looking forward to cooperating with a Korean company to promote the market distribution of "My Sassy Girl". It is a movie adapted from a best-selling Korean novel, and I believe it will have great success in Korea," Wan Xiaohu said with a smile. "We really hope to cooperate with a company with huge growth potential, and we also hope to co-produce "My Sassy Girl" with Dandelion Company." Zheng Xuntuo smiled and nodded, "Our company's young female artists, Kim Sharon, Kim Hyejin, Zheng Zhuyan and Cai Lin are both very good. We can arrange an audition." Wan Xiaohu nodded: "The original author of the movie likes your Jun Jixian very much. I hope she can come to audition." "Okay, I will arrange it now." South Korea has an artist intern system. Many artists have not debuted yet, and they train in entertainment companies while going to school. Although Jun Ji-hyun has made her debut, she has not given up on her studies. She just entered Dongguk University this year to study drama and imaging. During the audition on the second day, Wan Xiaohu saw this Korean actress who later became popular in China. Jun Ji-hyun's popularity in the mainland was divided into two times. The first time was the storm of the wild girlfriend, and the second time was eating beer fried chicken with the professor and "My Love from the Star". In the performance hall, actresses such as Jun Ji-hyun, Kim Sharon, Kim Hye-jin, Jung Joo-yeon, and Chae Lin stood in a row to accept auditions. Zheng Xuntuo introduced: "This is director Wan Xiaohu from China. His new movie "My Sassy Girl" needs to choose one of you to be the heroine. Please make sure to perform well." The actresses immediately responded to Wan Xiaohu bowed and saluted: "Hello, director." Eight or nine young girls were arranged neatly, and they all bowed at ninety degrees. This feeling made Wan Xiaohu extremely proud. Of course, this pride was not revealed, Wan Xiaohu nodded majestically. Zheng Xuntuo said to Wan Xiaohu: "Director Wan, can we start?" Wan Xiaohu didn't understand Korean, nodded, and then said to Zhao Ye: "Ask them, have they seen "My Sassy Girl"?" The girls Xingdu nodded, indicating that he had seen it. "For those who haven't seen it yet, I probably made up for it when I received the notice last night. Competition in the Korean entertainment industry is very fierce, and artists are very serious about their homework. "Since you have read this novel, you should understand how to play the heroine. I choose actors very much based on feelings. Once I feel it, I will confirm it directly, rather than competing for whose acting skills are better. You each prepare, and then choose "I understand, director," the actresses quickly got ready and started performing one by one. After one morning, the candidates were decided. Not surprisingly, Wan Xiaohu chose Quan Zhixian. He had seen the original version and had a preconceived impression that no one was more suitable to play the heroine than her. "Jun Ji-hyun, after decision, I officially invite you to be the heroine of "My Sassy Girl"." In Zheng Xuntuo's office, Wan Xiaohu extended his hand to Jun Ji-hyun. Quan Zhixian pointed at herself with a little surprise. Under Zheng Xuntuo's confirmation, she was surprised.He held Wan Xiaohu's hand tightly: "Thank you, director, do I need to go to China to shoot a movie?" "Of course, it may delay your studies." "It doesn't matter, our Sidus company will coordinate with Dongguk University. "Jun Ji-hyun, if you go to China to shoot a movie, the company will send people to take care of your daily life, don't worry," Zheng Xuntuo assured. So, the first actor of the "My Sassy Girl" crew is in place. Zhao Cheng and others from Huayi Brothers were still promoting movies in South Korea. Wan Xiaohu finished a few things and didn't stay any longer. She signed a contract with Jun Ji-hyun and agreed to let her come to China again when the crew started working. Everyone set out to return.
