Gangnam-gu, Seoul, South Korea Liu Zhenxun sat in the office and sighed worriedly.
We have just entered November, and there are still nearly two months until 2012.
But for Liu Zhenxun, his 2011 has ended early.
He is the CEO of South Korea's Xiubao Entertainment.
This is a film company established in 2002 that integrates production and distribution and is one of the top film companies in South Korea.
But in 2011, which is about to pass, Xiubao Entertainment suffered a tragic blow.
The North Korean Detective, produced and distributed by my company at the beginning of the year, was a hit at the box office, with 4.79 million viewers.
It undoubtedly became the most popular Korean movie at the beginning of the year, and it also ignited the entire South Korea in 2011. movie market.
But immediately afterwards, the blockbuster film Sleeping with the Enemy, which was highly anticipated by the company, suffered a humiliating failure.
The number of viewers was less than 200,000, which directly caused heavy losses to Xiubao Company.
What puts Ryu Jin-hoon even more under pressure is that the movie Sunshine Sisters from rival CJ Entertainment became a box office hit, sweeping the entire South Korea and grabbing the highest number of moviegoers in the first half of the year, 7.36 million.
Especially in this year when the Korean box office is booming, Xiubao Entertainment feels very deserted.
What makes Ryu Jin-hoon even more frustrated is that in the second half of the year, with the popularity of Transformers 3, competitor Lotte Entertainment once again launched the Ultimate Weapon Bow, with 7.46 million visitors, surpassing Sunshine Sisters and winning the title. won the local box office championship of the year, losing only to the imported Hollywood blockbuster Transformers 3.
Relatively speaking, Xiubao Entertainment also launched a number of movies in the second half of the year, including Highland War and Only You, but it still could not reverse the decline.
Looking at competitors, CJ Entertainment and Lotte Entertainment both achieved very satisfactory box office results and began to firmly occupy the Korean box office championship and second place, while Xiubo Entertainment was squeezed to fifth place, even lagging behind some small distribution companies.
This made Liu Zhenxun very depressed.
According to statistics from the Korea Film Promotion Committee, this year is considered a big box office year for Korean movies, especially the popularity of local movies, which has benefited local Korean film companies.
But Xiubao Entertainment was obviously excluded.
The setbacks of two blockbuster movies, Sleeping with the Enemy and Only You, put Ryu Jin-hoon under tremendous pressure. what to do How to turn around your company's decline This has become a big problem before him.
Even if 2012 is really the so-called doomsday, he won't care about it.
Sitting in the office, smoking one cigarette after another, he could hardly see the direction amid the smoke.
Suddenly, the phone dinged.
I extinguished a burned out cigarette in my hand, took my phone and found a message from WeChat.
After exhaling, a line of white smoke went straight towards the phone.
Opening WeChat, I saw that this message came from Lin Yoona's celebrity account and was a link.
Lin Yuner That Korean national idol So far, South Korea is the only super queen who is popular in European countries.
Although this diva was promoted by the Chinese, and although South Korea's local S management company has been clamoring to ban her, it is still difficult to resist the charm of Lin Yoona sweeping the entire South Korea.
"There's a new song out again" Liu Zhenxun clicked on the link and listened to the song directly on his mobile phone.
As the song slowly flowed out, he gradually became a little obsessed with it.
This is a sad and slow song, describing the true feelings of a girl who loves her boyfriend but is treated coldly.
In this song, Lin Yoona uses an almost roaring voice to powerfully express the cruelty of emotion.
When Liu Zhenxun listened to this, it seemed that he was not talking about feelings, but about reality.
In just a few minutes, it passed quickly.
He clicked replay and listened again.
"It's so touching.
I never thought that Yoona could sing such a song."
"Yeah, the singing was so sad, I almost cried when I heard it."
"I have experienced emotional trauma, and I cry every time I listen to it."
"Why did Master Huan write such a song for Yoona?"
"Did they break up?"
"Why do we need to break up?
Yoona is very good, why doesn't Master Huan like her?"
"Yeah, if they break up, I won't believe in love anymore."
"Upstairs, you all misunderstood.
Anyone who knows Yoona knows that this is the theme song of Yoona's new movie."

"Has Yoona made a movie?"
Liu Zhenxun was a little surprised when he saw this.
He has met Lin Yoona several times and followed her WeChat.
He seemed to have heard that she had made a movie before, but the media did not follow up on the specific situation.
There is actually nothing we can do about this, because Lin Yoona is now focusing more on the European, American and Chinese markets.
In South Korea, she is extremely popular, but S shouted that she would be banned, so her exposure in the media was not very high.
But even so, it still couldn't stop her from becoming a national idol.
If she makes a movie, there will definitely be a market in Korea Liu Jinxun immediately turned on his computer, clicked on Google, and searched for the two keywords Lin Yoona and movies.
Google immediately popped up a news link.
"Lim Yoona makes her big screen debut, writing the diary of a lovelorn girl who meets true love again" Liu Zhenxun immediately clicked on the news to read.
In an interview with the media, Lin Yoona said, "This is not a bitter movie, it is a very positive movie.
It tells us that falling out of love is not terrible.
As long as we are brave and strong to step out of the shadow of broken love, beautiful feelings will be there."
Waiting for you in front” This sentence made Liu Zhenxun think of the movie "Only You" released by Xiubao Entertainment in the second half of the year.
Judging from the cast and budget, this movie is considered a big production among romance movies, but it suffered a box office failure.
After analysis, there are many reasons, but many people believe that it has something to do with the movie's reputation.
The reason why the movie has a bad reputation is because it takes a path of bitterness and plays the clichéd drama of a male and female couple eventually parting ways, which has become obsolete many years ago, which made the audience even more off-putting.
Now, when he heard Lin Yuner say this, Liu Zhenxun couldn't help but his eyes lit up.
Yes, they are all romance movies, but in the end, people started to believe in love again and became more positive and sunny.
Moreover, this movie has Lin Yoona as the director, and it is Psy's first movie.
Two superstars are in the movie, so it has great box office appeal.
Thinking of this, Liu Zhenxun immediately grabbed the phone in the office and called.
"Hey, immediately, contact me this Chinese film company called Miracle Entertainment and tell me that we are going to introduce the film Thirty-three Days of Love.
Yes, we must win it and try to release it at the same time."
"What, it's too late.
It's okay on November 11th.
Aren't there still a few days left?"
"Otherwise, you can book a flight for me and I will fly to China immediately to discuss it in person."
Liu Zhenxun has a hunch that this movie is worth watching I didn't sleep for two days, and once I did, I slept for nearly a whole day.
When Yang Huan opened his eyes, his head was filled with dizziness.
He took the cell phone next to him and took a look.
Darling, it’s already past four in the afternoon This was a really good sleep
He was the only one left in the whole room, neither Zhang Ning nor Lin Yuner was there.
This made him wonder, was he dreaming last night?
Turn on the light, pull open the warm quilt and look around.
You can see several stains on the sheets, one of which is faintly blood red.
This time he was sure that it was definitely not a dream.
He got up from the bed, flexed his limbs and muscles, jumped down, walked into the bathroom, brushed his teeth and washed his face, took another shower by the way, and finally went to the dressing room to change into dry clothes.
The room is well soundproofed.
As soon as the door is opened, the sound from downstairs comes in.
Zhang Ning, Lin Yuner and Horikita Maki were all sitting in the living room.
Uncle Bird, Sun Yue, Zhao Yuanfang, Li Zhushan, Liu Mingwei and others were all here and were talking together.
Hearing the movement upstairs, everyone in the hall immediately looked up.
Zhang Ning's face turned red as soon as she saw Yang Huan, obviously remembering the madness last night.
Lin Yun'er blushed even more and lowered her head shyly, not daring to look at Yang Huan anymore.

On the contrary, it was Yang Huan, the thickest-skinned one, who walked downstairs with a smile.
"Everything is here" "Master Huan" Everyone stood up to say hello.
"We are discussing about movies," Sun Yue said with a smile.
Xiaobu walked forward and asked respectfully: "Master Huan, do you want me to get you something to eat?"
"Well, when you tell me, I'm really hungry, but now I want to eat Horikita's Japanese food."
When Horikita Maki was called, she looked at Zhang Ning and Lin Yuner, and then at the crowd.
She was a little shy, but she still stood up.
"I'll get it" After saying that, he walked directly into the kitchen.
Sun Yue and others looked envious.
Look at Master Huan, this is the second generation of rich people who are conscientious and responsible.
Let a popular female star in Japan fly here from Tokyo, Japan, to prepare a whole meal.
Let me tell you, it’s very honorable.
Yang Huan focused on the movie and walked to the living room to sit down.
"Come on, tell me what's going on."
Sun Yue glanced at everyone and knew that he still had to speak for himself.
"Master Huan, after the new song was uploaded, the response was very good.
It has only been more than eight hours now, but it has already caused a lot of response on the Internet.
The click rate of v has also exceeded one million.
I paid attention to some comments. , very positive.”
Yang Huan nodded, "There's more."
"We have just received several calls.
Distributors in Taiwan, Hong Kong, South Korea, Japan, Thailand, Singapore, the United States, the United Kingdom and other countries and regions are interested in our films."
Yang Huan didn't expect that a new song, a v, could have such an effect.
"Actually, it's no wonder.
This song has received a good response and fans love it.
The song portrays Yoona's bitter image, but our movie is about regaining true love, which creates a big gap. , many people are looking forward to it.”
Zhang Ning feels that this song is not only well written, but the theme of the song and the content of the movie form a very good interaction, which also left a deep impression and suspense on the fans.
"You women, you just like this kind of romantic stuff.
I wrote the song.
I didn't think it was so complicated at all.
Isn't it just a song?"
Yang Huan laughed and teased Zhang Ning.
"Keep talking" Zhang Ning suppressed the shame in his heart, what do we mean by women?
Don't be sexist But she continued to report to work.
There are so many people here If you want to talk about love, let's do it under the covers at night.
"I have learned about it.
The boss of Fangyuan Group is named Qian and has always had a close relationship with the Qin family.
I also learned about the situation through some channels.
I heard that the cancellation of cooperation with us came directly from the top. " "Then there's nothing to say.
Since they don't want to cooperate with us, there's no need for us to stick to their cold butts.
I don't believe it.
Without them, we will definitely fail at the box office."
After everyone heard this, they couldn't help but nod.
"In the next few days, we will take a two-step approach.
The film company's marketing will continue as usual, but we will also cooperate a little with the promotion of the new song.

But we must emphasize that this song reflects Yoona's voice in the movie, but it is not the same.
A sad movie.”
"Or it should be said that this movie tells the story of a heartbroken woman who bravely walks out of the shadow of broken love and finds love again."
"These days, audiences go to the cinema just to have fun.
Anyone who has nothing to do can just go and love those tear-jerking romance movies."
Having said this, Yang Huan looked at Sun Yue again.
"So, Lao Sun, if someone sees our movie as a tragic love story, that's your failure."
Sun Yue stood up immediately, "Don't worry, Master Huan, I know what to do."
"Also, I plan to promote in several important domestic box office cities, and Lao Niao and Yoona may have to work hard at that time."
Uncle Bird listened and stood up.
"Master Huan, if you say one word, don't say it's hard work.
Even if your reputation is ruined, I won't say another word."
After a pause, Du Ziteng was quite touched.
"My family used to be poor, and they looked down on us.
Every time we went back, we were looked down upon.
No one took us seriously."
"But since I met you, Master Huan, everything has changed."
"Without you, there would be no me."
"Master Huan, don't worry.
If you just say a word, I will stand for this movie to the end even if I am exhausted."
After hearing this, Yang Huan kept nodding and gave a thumbs up to Du Ziteng.
As for Lin Yoona, given the relationship between the two of them, there is no need to say anything more.
"Okay, this time, we must work together to fight this battle well, and let those guys who look down on others see that with this movie, we, Miracle Entertainment, want to represent local movies and compete with their Hollywood ones."
The blockbuster is a good bloody battle to the end.”
"Kill them, and we will all become the heroes of Chinese movies."
"good" "Master Huan said it well" Everyone's blood suddenly boiled
