Tang Jinyan's strong entry into the entertainment industry did not have much of a reaction in the industry.
After all, C-JES had existed for a long time, and New Village Entertainment was just an expansion of the foundation.
Although Tang Jinyan was very rich now, and his strong capital to enter the entertainment industry seemed to be very strong, the industry did not feel that there was anything strange about it.
Thinking back to when LOEN was the oldest distribution company in the industry, it had the biggest music source station under its own name, and it was backed by a giant like SK, it was full of advantages. In the end, the artists that it launched did not develop well. If it was not for IU, LOEN might have been out of business by now.
Look at what happened to FIESTAR, which was launched last year, and it still had to perform on the roadside. It was not worthy of LOEN's identity.
Look at CCM, which was backed by CJ. If it was not for Tang Jinyan last year, T-ara would have been a mess by now …
The entertainment industry was not something that anyone could play well in. It was not like there were no young masters who invested a lot and lost a lot.
The industry was very calm about Tang Jinyan's entry into the industry.
Tang Jinyan himself was quite confident. Film City, KBS, CJ, Mnet, such a combination of resources, he did not dare to say how well it would develop, but if it really failed, then he might as well buy a piece of tofu and kill himself.
He himself did not know much about operations, but there were people who knew.
Baek Chang-soo and Kim Kwang-soo, this two pig duo was immersed in the industry for more than ten years. One was inclined towards film and television, the other was inclined towards music. Even if one was not good, together they could at least make half a pig.
Moreover, there was Lee Yoon-rim to check.
Lee Yoon-rim was not very reliable as a strategist, but she was very familiar with the management of a group. Under her control, it would not be easy to deviate from the track.
"How is it?" Tang Jinyan stepped into Lee Yoon-rim's office. "Any clues for the new movie?"
"There are more than eighty scripts that have been delivered in two days. It will be quite difficult to find a suitable one among them."
Lee Yoon-rim laughed and said, "The script planning department is still in the process of selecting. I'm afraid they won't be able to find anything good in the short term."
"This kind of delivery must be a nobody, right?"
Tang Jinyan said, "A director or screenwriter with a little bit of fame should have a way to approach Old Sixth Bai or someone like that, right?"
"If they're that famous, why don't they just look for CJ? Why are they looking for us …"
"F * ck …"
"Just sitting at home and having a good script fall from the sky, and being able to shoot to fame immediately, that's the main character of a novel. Ordinary people can't do that."
Lee Yoon-rim giggled as she leaned back in her chair. "There's another type of writing, but with Brother Nine's little ink, it's better to count on the first type."
"I don't have much ink, but you have some in your stomach. Let me have some." Tang Jinyan leaned over. Lee Yoon-rim looked at him helplessly for a few seconds and pouted slightly.
Tang Jinyan lowered his head and nibbled on her lips. Lee Yoon-rim's complexion today was much better than it was a few days ago. She even put on lipstick when she came out to work. The taste of kissing was different from the other day. It was sweet and had a floral scent.
Lee Yoon-rim's breathing gradually quickened. Just as her mind was in a mess, there was a knock on the door.
The two of them separated, panting. She straightened her lapels and sat up straight. "Come in."
The door opened and a handsome young man came in. Behind him was a skinny uncle wearing glasses.
Seeing Tang Jinyan, the young man was obviously stunned for a moment, but quickly put on a smile. "Hello, Chairman Tang. Nice to meet you. I'm Park Xunjeong."
Park Xunjeong was the director and screenwriter of "New World." During the filming of "New World," Lee Yoon-rim personally poached him to join the company.
Tang Jinyan was slightly jealous, but he did not show it. He politely shook hands. "Hello, Director Park. This is …"
"I'm Lee Jun-yi. Hello, Chairman Tang." The uncle wearing glasses introduced himself in a neither servile nor overbearing manner. He also reached out to shake hands with Tang Jinyan.
Tang Jinyan had never heard of Lee Jun-yi. He subconsciously turned to look at Lee Yoon-rim, but he saw an extremely interesting light in Lee Yoon-rim's eyes.
Seeing him look at her, Lee Yoon-rim blinked and whispered, "Lee Jun-yi … the director of 'The King's Man.'"
"The King's Man" … Tang Jinyan's heart skipped a beat. His gaze unconsciously fell on Lee Yoon-rim's lips.
Lee Yoon-rim blushed and turned her head away. She stood up and extended her delicate hand to Lee Jun-yi. "Director Li, I'm your fan …"
Lee Jun-yi might have thought that this was just polite, but Tang Jinyan knew in his heart that it was not. "The King's Man", just this title alone was enough to make both him and Lee Yoon-rim think of many things.
After greeting each other, the four of them sat down on the sofa. Park Xunjeong revealed the purpose of his visit. "It's like this. Senior Lee has come up with a script …"
Lee Yoon-rim smiled. "Director Lee's script is really worth looking forward to …"
Her words were worth looking forward to, but the expression on her face did not show it.
Fans were fans, but when it came to business, Lee Yoon-rim was still very clear-headed. A famous director like Lee Jun-yi did not have to worry about not having a film to shoot. The script that he personally came up with was something that many people were willing to invest in. The reason why he came here was that there must be something going on.
Tang Jinyan also thought of the same thing, so he smiled and did not say anything.
Lee Jun-yi observed their expressions and knew that these two people were not easy to fool, so he said honestly, "This script is adapted from a real case, and the subject matter is a little sensitive …"
Tang Jinyan was amused. He had just said that he had a good script that fell from the sky while sitting at home. In the end, a famous director came knocking on his door. He really thought that he was destined to be the protagonist, but it turned out that the pie in the sky did not taste good. With a sensitive subject matter, it was hard to say how the market response would be. It was not impossible for it to hit the bottom of the earth.
Only a famous director like Lee Jun-yi, who had won the Best Director at the Big Bell Awards, had the confidence to shoot it. If it were a nobody, they probably could not even hope to get an investment. Even if they shot it, they might not be able to find the connections to release it.
Even Lee Jun-yi had hit a lot of walls.
CJ had made it clear that they were not stable at the moment. They only wanted stability and did not want to cause trouble.
After leaving CJ, Lee Jun-yi had originally planned to look for Letian Pictures, but then he heard that New Village Entertainment was looking for a script …
He and Park Xunzheng had become familiar with each other when they were filming "Unfair Deal." When he heard that Park Xunzheng was working at New Village Entertainment, he asked around and found out that Park Xunzheng was from a black background … A black background meant that they were more willing to gamble and had more guts. He felt that there might be a chance, so he asked Park Xunzheng to introduce him.
Sure enough, Tang Jinyan said, "The subject matter is sensitive, so it's not a big problem. I only care about the benefits.
Director Lee, why don't you introduce this script? "
Lee Jun-yi nodded. "It's adapted from a real case of sexual assault on a young girl from a few years ago. The main point is to describe how the young girl walked out of the thorns step by step after suffering unbearable pain.
Family, friendship, warm and strong human nature will definitely resonate with the audience. The benefits are not a problem … especially since it's easy to win awards! "
Li Junyi rattled off a long string of words. His words were very pleasing to the ears. He tried his best to exaggerate the marketability of the product.
Tang Jinyan and Lee Yoon-rim were not so easily fooled. The two of them looked at each other and knew that this was the artistic side of the guy who dabbled in art acting up. He wanted to play with a deeper meaning.
That kind of movie was guaranteed to be a tear-jerker. It was so sad that people did not want to watch it. Usually, it would be terrible at the box office. However, it was true that it often had a big advantage in terms of awards.
Of course, it was also a good thing that they could win awards. Then, New Village Entertainment's reputation would be raised.
However, generally speaking, new companies had to be steady and steady. They had to build up their reputation step by step. Only when they were big and stable would they pursue awards.
If they rashly tried to win awards and failed, it could shake their foundation …
To gamble or not to gamble?
Tang Jinyan only thought for a second before giving an answer. "Let's give it a try.
Other new companies require stability. I'm different from them … I'm just afraid that I can't move fast enough! "
Lee Yoon-rim did not object. She only gave him a sidelong glance. "Gambler."
"You're running a casino …" Tang Jinyan smiled and asked, "Director Lee, what's the name of this movie?"
"'Suyuan.'"
