But besides having fun, it is also a beautiful spring weather.
The multi-purpose screening room at Kyung Hee University Suwon Campus was bustling with activity on this day.
The Korean premiere of the first Sino-Korean co-production movie "My Sassy Girl" was held here.
Because it was three days apart from the premiere in China, the box office data had already been sent to Li Meijing.
The box office in China was 11 million on the first day and 13.5 million on the second day. It was a huge hit.
As a romance film, no one expected that it could achieve such a good box office.
Even Xiao Qian was surprised.
The box office revenue in two days exceeded 4.1 billion won, which is far higher than any other film in Korean film history.
This situation made Li Meijing and CJ Group more confident, and at the same time they started to think about comparison.
In any case, this movie is a co-production between China and South Korea, and the box office of Korean movies cannot be too bad.
With this in mind, Li Meijing mobilized all her energy and made sure to make this premiere a grand event.
So when Xiao Qian arrived, all he saw was a star-studded venue.
He was the big boss behind the scenes, so he didn't need to walk on the red carpet, so he went backstage directly.
Here, Li Meijing has been busy as the owner for a long time.
"Hey Yigu, our representative Xiao is finally here. I thought such an important occasion was not worthy of your presence."
Hearing the anger in Li Meijing's words, Xiao Qian burst into laughter.
"Do I dare not to come? If I don't come, I'm afraid I won't even be able to enter South Korea next time."
Li Meijing couldn't help but roll her eyes at him.
"Almost all Korean entertainment media are here today, so there is no need to worry about reporting. As long as the movie gets a good reputation, the box office will definitely not be bad."
Compared with her, Xiao Qian is more confident.
"I've never worried about box office."
In the previous life, "My Sassy Girl" had a box office of 4.88 million, which is not very outstanding among Korean movies. But considering that it is a low-cost love movie and its subsequent influence, it is already very good.
This time, after Xiao Qian's adaptation, the format has become a lot bigger, and with the stimulation of external factors, the box office will definitely be higher.
Exactly how much it can reach is unpredictable.
"Here, let me introduce you to some seniors."
This was said by Li Meijing, so we cannot ignore it.
Xiao Qian calmed down and walked among the guests with Li Meijing.
"This is Dean Jung Da-hwan of the Department of Drama and Film at Kyung Hee University. Our film shooting has received strong support from Dean Jung."
As a university dean, Xiao Qian knew very well that this person was definitely a big deal in the Korean film and television industry.
Unlike China, Korean universities have very close ties with society. People who work in universities basically make great achievements in corresponding professional fields in society.
Is this why professors at Korean universities are so respected?
Not because of their knowledge, not because of their talent? But because of their power.
This is what Jung Da-hwan is.
In addition to being the dean of the Department of Theater and Film at Kyung Hee University, he is also the chairman of the Korean Film Industry Association.
"Dean Zheng, this is the representative director of Big Hit Company? Representative Xiao Qianxiao from China. Even though he is very young, he has great influence in China's film and television industry? At the same time, he is also the same as our CJ? He is deeply involved in
Hollywood movie operations."
When Li Meijing introduced Xiao Qian, he was full of praise.
The seniority system in Korean society is ubiquitous. How often do you look down on someone just because they are young? There are many reasons for verbal offense.
Li Meijing was also afraid that someone would offend Xiao Qian? So he simply said it when introducing him.
That means telling others that even though Xiao Qian is young, he is a big shot.
Sure enough, Zheng Dahuan was shocked by Li Meijing's words.
He originally thought that if Xiao Qian was so beautiful, he would be the artist that CJ would promote next. Unexpectedly, he turned out to be a representative of Big Hit and an industry leader spanning China, South Korea and the United States.
"Haha? Representative Xiao is really young and promising, which is enviable."
Social circle? Hello, hello, hello, everyone, Xiao Qian also sent her kind words.
"Can't you compare with Dean Zheng who has so many celebrities all over the world? The Korean film industry is becoming increasingly prosperous? This is all thanks to the cultivation of people like you, Dean Zheng."
A thousand things to wear? "Flattery to wear", Xiao Qian's words made Zheng Duohuan very happy.
"Hahahaha, it's true that we can cultivate talents, but to give talents a place to work, they have to be big companies like you. Representative Xiao, even Chairman Li values you so much. It's obvious that Big Hit must have great potential. We
Although this is our first meeting, there are still some things I want to ask of you."
Xiao Qian hesitated a little, not knowing what Zheng Duohuan meant.
He didn't know much about this person, so of course he didn't dare to agree rashly. He just looked at Li Meijing.
Li Meijing noticed his doubts and helped act as a go-between.
"Dean Zheng is so virtuous that he doesn't ask for help easily. Since he said so, it must be something worthy of help."
Xiao Qian understood that Li Meijing was trying to persuade him to agree.
In any case, Li Meijing had no reason to deceive herself.
"It is an honor for us juniors to be able to help Dean Zheng."
Zheng Dahuan laughed heartily and looked very happy.
"Actually, it's not a big deal. He's just one of my students who aspires to be an actor. He tried it some time ago, but he didn't have much luck. He is my most valued student, and his grades are among the best in his class. I hope he will be a good actor in the future.
During entertainment activities, Representative Xiao can help me more."
It turns out it was to stand up for the students.
Xiao Qian couldn't help but be a little curious, what kind of student was worthy of a dean like Zheng Duohuan speaking personally.
And with Zheng Dahuan's energy and influence in the Korean entertainment industry, it seems that there is no need to ask for it on his own head.
Little does he know that what Zheng Dahuan values is precisely the strength of Big Hit.
There are indeed many large companies in the Korean entertainment industry, but their operations are relatively simple. For example, ihq is just an actor agency and has never been involved in film and television production.
As for yedang, he can do everything and is not the strongest at anything.
Although CJ is the largest film and television production company in South Korea, it also has artist management business and even TV broadcasting. However, CJ's operations are fragmented, not under each other's control, and basically unable to leverage each other's strength.
For the sake of his disciple, Zheng Dahuan certainly wanted to find a strong enough backer for him.
He has been studying big hit for a long time.
Although this rising star in the Korean entertainment industry has a short history, it has developed extremely rapidly. The most commendable thing is that the scope of its operations is very wide.
Music, film and television, artist management, etc. have all made dazzling achievements.
If such a company can take good care of its disciples, then he will definitely be able to have an unimpeded career in the entertainment industry.
"The person who can be valued by Dean Zheng must have unparalleled talents. I just don't know if our big hit is qualified to help. It would be great if we don't delay his growth."
Zheng Dahuan said: "It just so happens that he is here today. I asked him to meet with Representative Xiao, and also asked Representative Xiao's sharp eyes to help check whether he is suitable for the career of an actor."
With that said, Zheng Dahuan turned around and waved to the distance.
Then from there, a tall and delicate figure slowly walked over.
Very tall, with a model-like figure.
With handsome features and an elegant temperament. With half-long curly hair parted in the middle, paired with casual and decent clothing, at least the rate of turning heads will be 100% when walking on the road.
Seeing the man approaching, Zheng Dahuan was also a little nervous.
"This is my unsatisfactory student, but he looks pretty good."
Xiao Qian looked at the person coming and her eyes widened after listening to Zheng Duohuan's words.
You call Kong Liu a student who doesn't live up to expectations, but he still looks pretty good?
Dean Zheng Dahuan, your attainments in ordinary studies are very profound!
Yes, the student Zheng Duohuan was going to introduce to Xiao Qian turned out to be the future great Kong Liu.
No matter how much Xiao Qian thought about it, she never imagined that Kong Liu almost failed when he debuted and needed a teacher to help pave the way.
Little did he know that the meeting today was a coincidence.
When Kong Liu was still in college, he served as a vj, so he entered the society relatively early.
Just at the beginning of this year, KBS's "School 4" started auditioning. Kong Yoo tried it, but unfortunately he was not selected.
This loss was a huge blow to Kong Liu.
I just had nothing to do, and I heard that "My Sassy Girl" was going to premiere at my alma mater, so I ran back to relax.
As a result, after a conversation with Zheng Duohuan, Zheng Duohuan became interested and hoped to gain some hope for his students.
If this incident hadn't happened, in half a year, Kong Liu would have met the director of "School 4" again, and then he would have seized the opportunity to star in a TV series and officially enter the entertainment industry.
By coincidence, Kong Liu, a huge piece of pie, appeared in front of Xiao Qian.
