Chapter 92 Her cochlea was truly suffering.
This year's Christmas was particularly busy. After attending the horror movie director's party, Kang Woo-jin had accumulated a lot more business cards. On the day the movie was released, he didn't forget his promise to Jack.
Jiang Youzhen invited this senior to watch a movie at the largest cinema. Jack was all smiles when he entered, but he stopped smiling halfway through the movie. Even a strong man would be frightened by those realistic close-up shots.
After watching the movie, Jack became even more determined to work with his junior. "[REC]" was definitely a great movie, so Kang Woo-jin took the opportunity to invite him to star in the new film.
It's not a new production team, of course, but a sequel to "[REC]".
It would be a waste of Jack's talent to star in a horror movie that focuses on female characters and zombies, but Jack was quite interested. In addition, Columbia Pictures was paying for his salary, so Kang Woo-jin wouldn't be polite to the film company.
The film's opening day box office was 30% higher than that of "Lost in Delta". The film company was happy and will invest more money in the production of the next film. The new crew is basically ready, but the filming has not yet started due to the Christmas holiday.
After confirming that the start date for the project would be after the New Year, Jiang Youzhen and Mads Wu boarded a flight back to China with their packed suitcases.
During the Christmas holidays, Mads Wu will return to China. After the Lunar New Year, he will return to work and attend various award ceremonies in Europe and America. During this time, his agent will also look for new scripts for him.
Hollywood's workaholics are terrifyingly hard-working.
On the flight to Incheon, Mads-Oh asked Kang Woo-jin about his new movie out of curiosity. Since he was making it by himself, there was no need for commercial negotiations or cooperation with other film companies. However, Kang Woo-jin had to deal with the issues of theater distribution himself.
"The filming budget is no more than $30,000, but the subsequent marketing and distribution might cost you two or three million, Anders, that's a bit of a stretch." Mads Wu was taken aback by the figure. He chuckled twice and asked, "Let me guess, you're not even planning to use many staff members this time, is that right?"
"Including Tony and me, there are three actors, making a total of ten people."
"Haha, Anders, I must say, you really know how to save money, but my family isn't short of cash, you should know that. Maybe you could try making a big production."
"But...we really don't need that many."
Their family is indeed not short of money, but money should be spent wisely. Kang Woo-jin and Tony have calculated the budget for the film crew.
Perhaps because of the experience with "REC", the filming cost this time, no matter how you calculate it, even if you include the cost of renting the house, will not exceed $50,000. $30,000 is just right. Maybe after filming, the party and the distribution of bonuses will cost an extra $10,000.
He aims to achieve the greatest financial return with the least cost, and he won't feel like he's lost out even if the movie fails at the box office.
Because of this incident, Kang Woo-jin plans to completely assemble his own directing team. Staff members who had previously worked with him are all willing to sign contracts with him and choose to join his company.
Whether it's the work atmosphere or the generous boss, they can reap considerable benefits.
Tony is an excellent assistant director and a qualified agent. In the work contract they signed, Kang Woo-jin also promised that Tony would receive an extra 5% of the profits from any work produced and distributed by the company.
Of course... there was also the reason why Kang Woo-jin wanted to slack off.
On the plane, Mads-Oh chatted with Kang Woo-jin for a while before falling asleep. He could still hear his son typing on the keyboard, the crisp tapping sound becoming a lullaby. The old father slept soundly the whole way.
This trip back to China by the father and son was not a public event; apart from busy vacationers, there were not many media personnel at the airport.
They brought a lot of luggage, including their own belongings and gifts for relatives and friends.
Jiang Youzhen prepared a separate gift bag for the girl, which was placed in his backpack. Tiffany and the others also received gifts, but they could only be sorted out after they got home.
The moment he got into the car, he sent a message to Kim Tae-yeon. The girl replied quickly, but he was a little confused by what she said.
"My cochlea hasn't been feeling well lately. Did you bring back the discs I asked you to bring back last time?"
He knew the second half of the sentence; it referred to the recording discs of "REC." But he didn't quite understand the first half—cochlear implant?
"Are you injured? But...why is it the cochlea?"
Soon after, Kim Tae-yeon sent another message, complaining about what happened at the movie theater that day. Thanks to those two sopranos, her ears have been acting up for the past two days.
The two arranged to meet the day after tomorrow via text message, and then travel to Jeonju together, with Tiffany also joining them.
Jiang Youzhen wasn't idle either. He had a mission when he returned to the country: to supplement the script and study the channel contracts of domestic and foreign cinemas. The focus was still on the script. Tony was like an obstetrician, even more urging than the previous production company.
Jiang Youzhen told his family about his trip to Jeonju, but they didn't think much of it. They figured he wouldn't get into any trouble in the country and could go wherever he wanted.
They didn't care about New Year's Eve. Mads-Wu and Jiang Jingshu were both workaholics. Although they cared about their families, they cared more about their careers, especially Jiang Jingshu. As the representative director, she couldn't slack off if the company wanted to develop well.
After dropping the person off at home, Jiang Jingshu and Mads Wu went out again, leaving a pile of luggage and their son at the front door without even going into the garage.
"No...you guys...huh?"
Jiang Youzhen hadn't even put his phone away yet. He looked at the mountain of suitcases piled up at his feet, then at the tightly closed door, his whole being filled with confusion and doubt.
Soon, the door was opened from the inside. The maid looked at Jiang Youzhen standing there curiously, but when she saw the luggage, she offered to help.
Looking at the other person's thin arms, Jiang Youzhen smiled awkwardly and said that he could do it himself. Anyway, he had already carried it twice at the airport, so it wouldn't make a difference if he did it once more.
I greeted the old folks and then subtly complained that although my parents were going to the company, I was sure they were going on a date later.
He also wanted to have a big meal...
After grabbing a can of juice from the refrigerator, Kang Woo-jin carried his luggage upstairs, opened his laptop, and saw that Tony had sent him an email earlier, in which the movie title was finalized. He and Perry had discussed it for a long time and then picked three names.
Although there were three options, Tony emphasized the first name twice, using bold and large font, making the meaning crystal clear.
Tony was more talented than Kang Woo-jin in naming things, and Kang Woo-jin was happy to cooperate with him, besides, he also thought the name was good.
"Paranormal activity" is a direct translation of "supernatural activity," but both Parry and Tony gave it a better-sounding name.
