I took a look at the audition list, and none of them were known to him!

In addition to Zhang Ruixi, she is the starring actor of "Miss Mermaid".

"Miss Mermaid" was broadcast on CCTV back then, and he... has finished watching the 164-episode TV series!

Since then, I have never watched more than fifty episodes of TV series...

Actually, now thinking about it, the story of "Miss Mermaid" is not that profound. It is a typical bloody drama of revenge and being influenced by love. But I just liked it at that time. Even though many episodes did not have the story progress, the actors ate meals and chatted one by one, and found it very interesting...

Maybe it's a fan!

The so-called childhood memory: What you like gives you a feeling, forms your memory, and participates in your life.

If it reaches its limit, it is called a brain-wounded fan!

Fortunately, Chen Mengxi learned to write the screenwriter later and knew what was going on: the story has not progressed yet, it was entirely because of the high ratings, and the TV station was reluctant to finish it!

Once you understand this, you will completely lose the feeling you used to...

Zhang Ruixi later switched to China. She originally wanted to imitate her younger generation, Zhang Nara, and come to China to make money, but unfortunately, she didn't catch up with the good times. Although she participated in works such as "Master Lin in Seoul" and "The Legend of the Heroes of Sui and Tang Dynasties", she was not popular...

I went back to Korea and started filming Japanese dramas with low pay...

Chen Mengxi directly decided to play the leading role of "The Wife's Temptation" and said to the production director: "I know this woman, the starring role of "Miss Mermaid"!"

“…Writer Shen also knows about "Miss Mermaid"?”

"CCCTV has been broadcast before..."

“CCTV?”

"For a while, Chinese TV stations were popular for broadcasting Korean dramas..."

"Oh...what else is the other characters?"

"You can do whatever else, I don't know much about the Korean TV circle..."

The initial constituents are all the leading actors, and then the supporting actors...

There are more than Japanese dramas than Japanese dramas, and Korean TV dramas are filmed and broadcasted at the same time. Therefore, after selecting actors, they will hold a script reading session.

Japanese dramas are quite unique. When they first started filming, they usually only filmed 5 episodes. The actors, including men and women, will not have grand and particularly expensive scenes.

When the five episodes began to air, the crew also began to count the market reactions, such as ratings, audiences’ preferences for the characters in the play, audiences’ willingness to develop the plot in the play, etc.

If the TV station feels that the market response is not good, it can stop the broadcast.

Due to the low cost, the loss will be small if the broadcast is stopped.

If the market response is good, continue shooting simultaneously.

Generally, the dramas broadcast this week collect viewing information this week, and at the same time, the content of next week is filmed according to the audience's preferences, or the content that was filmed in advance is deleted, modified and supplemented, etc.

Chen Mengxi's script is only in the first thirty episodes, but the following are basically just outlines - the general plot direction...

...

"The Temptation of Wife" is a family drama, and it is a family drama with the revenge of his wife as the main line. It is impossible to add other characters in the first few episodes, and it is even more impossible to get an idol.

Generally speaking, Japanese dramas will only add roles and other sub-lines after the ratings are stable.

Just pour water, it’s all like this!

There is no report on the start of the filming of this drama in South Korea - it will take at least one month from the determination of the actors to the opening of the script, the start of the filming and the broadcast.

Chen Mengxi doesn’t need to keep an eye on the whole process. Screenwriters No. 1 and No. 2 came to watch the progress of the project.

When the right time is right, he will take the initiative to contact Song Qian and ask her to go to this drama to hone her acting skills and just be an actor's life...

Of course, these have to wait for "The Temptation of Wife" to be aired.

In the past few days, in addition to auditioning for actors with the SBS TV series production department, he also found Xijie Entertainment and set up a studio that was affiliated with Xijie...

After all, South Korea is a society dominated by chaebols. How can it make a fortune here?

Of course, embrace the chaebol!

If you can't beat it, let's join...

I always have to hold my thighs, of course I pick up the thickest one!

Anyway, he just plans to make money in South Korea...

A week passed quickly, and Chen Mengxi flew back to Beijing by plane.

At this time, "Rose Red Lotus" was released for just one weekend...

...

The total cost of "Rose Red Lotus" is 3 billion won, and the profit and loss point is 1.2 million viewers.

The profit and loss point means the cost line, which means that if you exceed 1.2 million moviegoers, you will be considered as a guaranteed capital.

Of course, Korean movies have been very good overseas promotion in recent years. "Rose Red Lotus" is a horror film, and some countries in Southeast Asia have been released simultaneously - the most important thing is that CGV theaters under Xijie Entertainment are awesome, and the top three theater brands in Asia are ranked in the top three!

By acquiring local leading theaters, they have successively entered the Vietnam, Indonesia, Myanmar and Türkiye markets, and have occupied a high proportion of the market share.

Not to mention the global synchronization of other people's issuance strength, at least it can still be achieved in Southeast Asia!

"Rose Red Lotus" has sold the copyrights in many places before it was released, and the distribution rights were largely due to Qiao Mei.

In fact, Cizinedu's box office expectation for "Rose Red Lotus" is 2 million viewers.

This result is already very high!

Pure thriller and horror themes can only be considered niche in the field of Korean movies. The number one box office is the "Girls' Tale" with 2.5 million viewings...

The ceiling limit is here!

The 10 billion won I mentioned before to create "Rose Red Lotus" is just a joke and promotion!

10 billion won, and the number of viewers in the movie is 4.3 million, which is considered as a guaranteed capital!

Xijie Media is not a fool, how could it be possible to produce a horror film with an investment of more than 10 billion won?

How does he make money?

3 billion won is already very high!

Therefore, the number of viewers of "Rose Red Lotus" that reached nearly 1.5 million in three days in the first weekend directly shocked the entire Xijie Media!

The box office market in South Korea is relatively stable. Generally speaking, the first weekend results are about one-third of the total box office.

Then... Isn't the total box office of "Rose Red Lotus" 4.5 million viewers?

Make a lot of money!

It is also ranked first in the box office of Korean films of the year.

...

Chen Mengxi listened to Xu Renhou's words and asked in confusion: "Currently ranked first? Is the Korean film market so miserable this year?"

"…It's very dismal. Jeon Do-yeon won the Cannes Best Actress "Miyang", and the number of viewers was only 1.6 million..."

On behalf of Xijie Media, Xu Renhou came to China with Chen Mengxi. On the one hand, he specifically reported the relevant information about "Rose Red Lotus", and on the other hand, he also came to sign the contract.

The copyright of "Hide and Seek" and "Death in the Examination" are registered in Shen Mengxi Studio. If they want to develop, they need to obtain authorization.

However, Korean movies are indeed miserable this year. There is only one movie with more than 5 million viewers throughout the year, and it is still the bad movie "Dragon Battle"...

It is normal, there are differences between the movie markets of Big New Year and Little New Year.

This year just caught up with the downturn...

"Rose Red Lotus" is a good time!

"How did you promote it?"

"Rose Red Lotus itself is a big IP, and the movie itself is good, so there are many viewers who can mobilize..."

"That's right...I understand."

Chen Mengxi didn’t know how to promote Korean movies. During those days, he was basically busy auditioning for "The Temptation of Wife"...

“…Producer Chen, the actor of “Hide and Seek”…”

"I want Son Hyun-joo, you choose the heroine. By the way, I don't want Song Hye-kyo!"

"But Song Hye Kyo said in the interview..."

"No matter how she expresses, I don't like her!"

Xu Renhou wrote down this sentence and shut up...

Seoul only has more than an hour flight from Beijing. Soon, when Chen Mengxi got off the plane with Xu In-hou, carrying her suitcase.

At the exit of the airport, he saw a row of media reporters holding long guns and short cannons, and he didn't care much.

I guess which Hong Kong star came to Beijing to promote it...

Nowadays, no one can do this except Hong Kong stars with such a style!

"Chen Mengxi is coming out!"
Chapter completed!
