China Entertainment: I became a capital tycoon

Chapter 278 276. Love rival is coming
CJ Entertainment’s appeal in Korean baseball is still quite high.

Everyone in the industry knows that this is a movie of the newly established FNC Entertainment, with an investment of 300 billion won in production, which is very attractive to Korean actors.

For the audition on the second day, FNC arranged a conference room as the audition room, and there were actually 50 to [-] actors who came to audition.

It was past nine o'clock in the morning, and the audition had not yet started. Everyone was waiting anxiously. No matter how big-name stars they were, they still waited obediently in front of a company with the background of CJ Group.

At this time, Cao Yu was meeting two directors in the office.

"I admire the level of both directors very much."

Cao Yu also called the two directors together in order to save time. This was also a way of competition.

Anyway, the Korean stick is so curled, so curl it some more.

Looking at the director in his 30s and 40s in front of him, he handed over two sets of scripts: "Take a look at the scripts and talk about your opinions."

"President Cao is welcome."

The director asked Jin Hanmin and Li Junyi to be polite, and looked at the young Chinese man in front of him with confusion, wondering what scripts this new company could come up with.

They also felt that the script might have been created by CJ Entertainment, probably to support the new company FNC.

When the two of them received the script at the same time and only read it for a few minutes, their eyes became serious.

The script was carefully created by the team of Cao Yu and Feiyu. Although compared to the original movie "The Battle of Liangming", the plot of the Ming and Korean troops fighting against the Japanese was added, but the protagonist is still Yi Sunchen. It just changed the original battle into There are three scenes, and the plot is more compact.

After a while, the two directors raised their heads at the same time. Their faces were no longer as calm as before, and the eyes they looked at Cao Yu were also different from before.

Judging from the script, they could tell that the story was definitely not written by CJ Entertainment.

Because the Koreans would not include the plot of the North Korean Lee Dynasty asking for help from the Ming Dynasty, let alone make the Ming Dynasty army so heroic.

From this point of view, this script in hand can only be done by the Chinese talent in front of me.

Cao Yu smiled and said, "What? What do the two directors have to say?"

"President Cao, the script is very good. I am confident that the film will be successful!"

Having filmed "The King's Man", the older Lee Jun-ik was the first to speak. He felt that this kind of historical theme suited him very well.

Seeing his senior say this, Jin Hanmin moved his lips but did not dare to speak.

His status in the Korean director world is still somewhat different from that of Lee Jun-ik. His senior was interested, but he didn't dare to openly compete for it, even though he also liked the script very much.

Cao Yu saw this and smiled: "Director Jin, what do you think?"

Jin Hanmin took a deep breath and said, "President Cho, I have actually studied that period of Korean history. If President Cho lets me take over the filming of this movie, I will accept it no matter what the conditions are."

Having said this, he hesitated for a moment, glanced at the senior next to him, and then continued: "Besides, I don't need to get paid, I just want a share of the box office."

"Assie."

Hearing this, before Cao Yu could speak, Li Junyi cursed in his heart, thinking that this junior was quite cunning.

Sure enough, when Cao Yu heard this condition, he was already leaning towards Jin Hanmin.

Firstly, this person is the original director of "Myeong Liang Haiba", and secondly, he does not require salary and only takes a share of the box office, which shows that he is very confident.

"Director Jin is very confident in himself."

Cao Yu smiled and just turned to Li Junyi and asked him what he thought. The veteran director stood up directly and said: "I only want a share of the box office, two points is enough."

Although Kim Han-min is a young director, he knows that this is his opportunity to establish his position in the market.

So he made a rough estimate and said, "I only want one point."

"Assie."

Li Junyi spoke directly this time, and then said: "President Cao, what do you think?"

"Sure enough, it's rolled up."

Cao Yu was very happy. There was no need for salary. A one-point share was not too high. This would save a lot of money and allow them to work harder.

He smiled and said, "I actually like both directors, but I am more optimistic about Director Jin."

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and said to Li Junyi: "We at FNC still have many scripts. Let's work together next time."

At this point, Li Junyi couldn't say anything, so he shook hands with Cao Yu and said goodbye.

"Thank you, President Cao, for your trust!"

Jin Hanmin's reputation in the film industry is not as good as that of Li Junyi, and he didn't expect that the president would choose him, so he felt a little excited.

At this time, Cao Yu said: "Director Jin, your choice is correct. Our minimum box office target for this movie is 1000 billion won. Are you confident?"

"1000 billion?"

Jin Hanmin was a little surprised. 1000 billion won is nothing.A movie ticket in South Korea is basically between 1000 won and [-] won. For that [-] won, it requires at least [-] to [-] million moviegoers to achieve it.

This result ranks among the top three in South Korea.

Although he was very confident, when he heard this number, he felt a little worried for a while.

Because the entire population of South Korea is less than 5000 million.

Cao Yu saw that the young director was frightened, and immediately smiled and said: "Director Jin, I have only one request. The costumes, props, and actors must be perfect, and the scenes must be grand. As for the special effects, you don't have to worry, I can do it." Find a Hollywood special effects team to do it.”

"I understand, since President Cao said so, I have already strived for excellence!"

When Jin Hanmin heard that President Cao wanted to hire a Hollywood special effects team, his worries disappeared a lot.

At the same time, my heart is still a little hot.

He originally thought that 800 million moviegoers would be enough, but now he thinks about it, if it really reaches more than 1000 million, his share will be at least [-] million won.

"Let's go and audition for actors and let me see your vision."

Cao Yu did not sign the contract with him immediately, but walked to the audition room. He wanted to see the director's vision in selecting actors.

"Let the audition begin."

When he came to the room, Cao Yu looked at the time. It was only after ten o'clock and announced that the audition had begun.

Today I chose the female lead (actually just an actress), the male lead, the male lead, and some supporting roles.

As for the second male lead, Ming Army general Chen Lin, Cao Yu plans to use a Chinese actor, and the fourth male lead has already been cast by Song Joong-ki.

During the interview, Cao Yu didn't interrupt much. He just watched with Liu Yifei to see the Korean audition process and the director's vision.

Although there were many people who came to audition, they were all actors with some masterpieces.

The audition process is similar to that of Huaxia. You first introduce yourself and let the director see your image. As long as you are not a newcomer, there is no need to perform a live performance.

What surprised Cao Yu was that the actor Choi Min-sik, who originally played Yi Sun-shin, also came.

Cao Yu was actually very impressed by this actor. He and Quan Doyeon played "Happy to Death", which Cao Yu had watched in a black Internet cafe before his rebirth.

It's just that compared to eight years later, when he was 44 years old, he was slightly younger.

However, his mature temperament is still there, so as long as he puts on makeup and plays the 52-year-old Lee Sun-shin, there will be no problem.

Halfway through the interview, Liu Yifei, who had been sitting with Cao Yu, suddenly raised her eyes and said in surprise: "Cao Yu, look, he is the male protagonist of "Blue Life and Death". I want to go find him to sign an autograph." name."

Although Cao Yu has watched this Korean TV series that was once popular in China, he didn't realize who the male protagonist of "Blue Life and Death Love" was for a while.

But when he raised his head, his face suddenly darkened.

"So it's you, Song Seung-heon."

A sense of jealousy came from Cao Yu's heart to his mouth.

In front of the camera, the actor who once created the most-watched TV series in Korea was sitting across from him, introducing himself calmly.

He has just returned from military service and plans to use his former fame to return to the entertainment industry.

Just as Song Chengxian proudly introduced his past glory, suddenly, he saw a young man standing up.

"You don't need any introduction, get out of here right now!"

Not many people at the scene could understand the Chinese that Cao Yu spoke, but the angry look on the president's face made everyone present feel a little strange.

Liu Yifei didn't even understand why her boyfriend was so angry when he saw this man and even cursed him directly.

Especially for translation, I don't know whether to translate Cao Yu's words directly or to be more tactful.

"Translation, tell him to get out! Immediately! Immediately!"

Seeing that the translator was struggling, Cao Yu yelled again.

This time, the scene was even weirder.

Song Chengxian probably guessed that this man had a high status here, but seeing his angry look, he had no idea what he had just said wrongly to offend him.

The translator also reacted at this time and said in Korean: "Mr. Song, our boss asked you to leave."

She said it more tactfully. If Cao Yu could understand Korean, he would definitely replace the translator immediately.

Even though he said it tactfully, everyone still looked at Cao Yu with strange expressions.

Song Seung-hyun looked confused. He didn't want to leave or stay. His expression was very embarrassing.
