The Korean film market is very mature, with annual box office revenues of around $1 billion...

In the past few years, Korean movies could compete with Hollywood in the local market, breaking local box office records one after another. "The Real Tail Island", "The Tai Chi Flag Flying", "The King's Man", and "The Han River Monster", all of which were works with box offices of over 10 million lights and shadows...

"Welcome to Dongmo Village" and "Gorgeous Vacation" also have more than 7 million viewers!

The market is very good, and then the subprime mortgage crisis broke out...

Last year, the best-selling movie "Dragon Battle" relied on local special effects to sell feelings, and the movie itself was a mess!

Other blockbusters, "The Green Swallow", "The Wild Beast", "Typhoon" and other films were released one by one, and the best-selling "Typhoon" only received 4 million viewers, not exceeding the profit and loss point...

For a time, the Korean film industry was in a mess!

Can we revive this year?

I thought too much, and the two big directors, Park Chan-woo, filmed "Bat" and Bong Joon-ho, filmed "Mother", took the gloomy experimental performance route, and the possibility of selling well is very low...

Xijie Group attaches great importance to "Hide and Seek" and "Death in the Exam"...

The investment is not high, but the returns are stable!

They vaguely feel that "Hide and Seek" may be a big hit...

Of course, most importantly, they also want to get involved in "Mobile Maze"...

That's why I was anxious to contact Shen Mengxi.

In other words, "Rose Red Lotus" was the second-place box office runner-up in South Korea last year, and the number of viewers was second only to "Dragon Battle"...

...

The screenwriter came to pick him up the machine No. 2 and helped Shen Mengxi put his luggage into the trunk.

After getting in the car, Shen Mengxi asked about the situation first.

Screenwriter No. 2 replied: "The Brilliant Legacy is being cast, and it is about to be put into production, and the same is true for "Death in the Exam" and "Hide and Seek"..."

“Is it synchronously developed?”

"Um!"

“…let me participate in casting?”

"It should be."

Shen Mengxi looked at him and asked again: "...Is there anything else besides casting?"

Screenwriter No. 2: "I feel they want to use us to enter the Chinese market..."

"...No, the upper class has been tolerant of Korea in the past two years and is almost spoiled as a son. Xijie wants to release a movie in China. Just look for China Film. Why do you want to find me?"

"I should want to win you further, so it's best to tie it to a warship!"

Shen Mengxi thought about it for a moment, then shook her head: "Forget it... Korean movies have no audience base in China. They have large scales and cannot pass the review. They have small scales and are meaningless. Few people are willing to buy movies even if they are drafted!"

Screenwriter No. 2 asked him strangely: "Didn't you say that you have one book and two shots before?"

"…Damn, they all want to get involved in one or two films?"

The so-called "one book and two shots" are literally meaningful, and one script is filmed by both countries.

Because cultural differences need to be considered, the script must also be localized and modified to shoot different versions...

Simultaneously filmed and released at the same time. One IP was produced at the same time in China and South Korea, and finally achieved the amplification effect of being released at the same time in both countries!

Shen Mengxi thought about playing by herself, but at worst she could hand over the Korean version to Xijie for operation, and filmed the Chinese version by herself...

Screenwriter No. 2 nodded: "I listened to their director Kim Jong-ah!"

“…Kim Jong-ah? Men’s and women’s?”

"Woman, I'm pretty close to No. 1..."

Shen Mengxi was silent for a moment, then cursed: "...Damn, I asked you two to come here to help me watch the company and run to have a cross-border love?"

Screenwriter No. 2 quickly explained: "No, it's just getting closer, and you didn't say that you should keep the relationship..."

"I'm talking about a normal relationship, not the kind of rolling around in bed!"

“…”

"Where are others?"

"He is waiting for us in the hotel."

...

Mengxi Studio’s Korean branch is similar to Studio in the United States, and is all helpful in managing Chen Mengxi’s projects…

The difference is that South Korea is affiliated with Xijie.

Xijie is the first investor for the studio project...

The car was parked in the hotel parking lot and got off. Screenwriter No. 2 first carried his luggage into the room, and then the two of them went downstairs.

At this time, downstairs, there was screenwriter No. 1, director Xu Zheng, Chen He, the person in charge of SBS TV series, several administrative assistants of Xijie Entertainment, and a man in his thirties and wearing glasses, who should be the director of Xijie's "Death in the Exam" chosen by Xijie...

"Writer Shen!"

“…Everyone is here!”

Chen Mengxi sat down, took the tea handed over by the waiter, and said, "There is no need to be so neat..."

"Everyone wants to see the great writers who conquered Hollywood with their own eyes!"

Conquer Hollywood?

Who wore the hat?

Chen Mengxi was speechless, and he didn't know how to answer this!

“…Writer Shen, the role arrangement of “The Brilliant Legacy”…”

"This should be responsible for Xijie. They are a production company!"

“…But they said it, you can decide!”

Chen Mengxi looked at Xu Renhou with thoughtful thoughts and asked, "Can you not Li Shengji?"

Translator Xu explained: "Li Shengji... has a good relationship with KBS, so it's a bit difficult for us to invite him..."

"Then...Jung Kyung-ho, I've watched his "Dog and Wolf Time" and his acting skills are good..."

Choi Sooyoung's boyfriend, Chen Mengxi, has watched "Life on Mars" and has a good impression of him...

"Okay, we'll send an invitation right away!"

"The heroine Han Hyo-joo?"

“…Is there anything wrong with her?”

"No, just ask..."

Chen Mengxi was speechless. What's the point of asking about this kind of thing?

"The Brilliant Legacy" is a weekend drama, with a tendency towards family, plot, and the main characters cannot arrange idols to be cast, at least not now!

Han Hyo-joo, Liu Yanxi, and Wen Caiyuan, these three actors were all found by Chen Mengxi. How could he be unsatisfied?

Yoo Yanxiu has a second male face, which looks warm and healing...

Han Hyo-joo is an actor under BH Entertainment, BH Entertainment and Lee Byung-hun's agency. Lee Byung-hun has a very good relationship with Xijie Media. The film debut work "The Escape of Seoul" is produced by Xijie.

With this relationship, it is normal to take care of its artists.

Wen Caiyuan, winner of the SBS Acting Awards Newcomer Award, played the second female lead in "The Brilliant Legacy", so you won't lose points...

After several protagonists finish it, the general framework of "The Brilliant Legacy" is built.

Director Chen He and SBS asked for goodbye. When they left, Chen Mengxi said to Xu Renhou: "Leave these two characters Li Aili and Xian Yuting to me..."

"no problem!"

"…The day after tomorrow, I will hand over the right actor to you!"

‘Li Aili’ and ‘Xian Yuting’ are all supporting roles. One is the heroine’s best friend and the other is the hero’s sister. She doesn’t show much, but she also has a lot of faces, which is very suitable for face swiping...

Chen Mengxi wants these two characters not to play unspoken rules. This time he came to Korea, in addition to Xijie Media, there is also the Han Geng...

"Lost in Thailand" has worked together to witness the idol's attractiveness to his wallet. Chen Mengxi didn't want to let go so much, so he simply signed a movie contract with Han Geng. It doesn't take too long, just sign three movies...
