It was the title of an intensely aggro video that you can’t help but click through.

ㄴ No, it’s an episode that should appear in a late-night ghost story.

ㄴ It’s a frog lol Does it make sense? Clearly, where did you smuggle it?

ㄴ His smuggling drip hahahaha Please tell me where you can smuggle something like that, bastard

b It’s creepy So the old monk was a ghost and he heard information about the relic from the ghost Song Gyu-ha? Will you listen to the ghost? OMG….

ㄴ Why is Song Gyu-ha a movie star? Your life is more spectacular than the movie? hahahaha

ㄴ If it was made into a movie about Song Kyu-ha’s life, I would go see the invincible ticket.

b C’est un sauveur français au-delà d’un héros.

(Song. He is a benefactor of France beyond a hero.)

b Hommage à lui qui a trouvé le trésor de la France qu’il n’a jamais cru trouver !

(Homage to him who found the treasure of France that he thought he would never find!)

Kyuha’s interview video released by Cinema 24 quickly became a hot topic and the number of views began to rise at a frightening speed.

“It’s scary! I’m scared. The speed at which comments are running.”

Jeong So-ra, the head of the PR team, looked at the number of views and comments soaring in real time with an expression of boredom.

Han Jung-hee, who handed me a takeout iced americano, asked with a smile.

“How are the reactions generally?”

“Well, there are bad comments, but it’s mostly strange. fun. The reaction is that it’s great. For the masses, there is no better rice cake than this. It’s a more mysterious story than an ancestor who came out and called the lottery number in a dream. In any case, Pact found the treasure in France, and with that treasure, brought back the treasure in Korea. That’s what’s important. It is all praise.”

Jeong So-ra’s confident words put Han Jeong-hee at ease.

“By the way, what kind of person is Kyuha really? I can’t even guess what’s going to happen now. Because it is so dynamic.”

“Ugh… don’t even talk. It just burns my throat.”

Han Jung-hee, who drank the Americano to the fullest, continued.

“Because now I have developed a tolerance. If what I said in this interview was like the beginning, I would have said something like that, but now that’s what happened… I heard that it’s like that. Is this like gaslighting?”

“Hohoho, team leader Han’s joke is also true. By the way, tomorrow is the teaser release date for [The Melody Dancing with the Waves], right?”

“Yeah. It’s already that time. The response should be good…”

“I think it would be good to look forward to it when I see it? Do you know my feelings?”

“Chief Jeong’s intuition is more accurate than the fortuneteller’s octopus in Germany.”

“Ho-ho-ho, he can’t do that for me. I have an intense feeling. The scent of jackpot.”

The next day, the teaser video for [The Melody Dancing with the Waves] was finally released.

It was truly exquisite timing.

While the public’s passionate interest in Kyuha has not yet cooled down, everyone’s eyes are focused on the teaser video.

And the data collected a week after the release was astonishing.

[The waves and The dancing melody l Official Teaser Trailer]

Europacorp / views: 30.51 million / a week ago

It was an unbelievable number of views that went up in a week.

“Look. did i say It’s unconditionally a hit.”

“As expected, our team leader Jeong’s sense is better than the fortune teller’s octopus! I believe!”

As if to tell her how she feels right now, she took a light step and sat next to Jeong So-ra.

“At this level, I’m looking forward to the score after the official release, right? Is this going to be released worldwide at the same time? Isn’t that too unconventional?”

“It is very, very unconventional. In fact, these days, even large American production companies rarely release simultaneously around the world.”

“why? Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to attract more audiences if it was released simultaneously all over the world? It will also prevent illegal leaks.”

“If you think about it simply, you might think so, but that is not the case again. The reason why producers don’t release simultaneously worldwide is simple. to reduce risk. Because releasing a movie simultaneously all over the world requires a lot more money than you think.”

As the head of the PR team, Jeong So-ra pointed out the main point at once.

“Ah… the cost of advertising for publicity must be prohibitive.”

“Exactly. I solved the money in one room like that, but it fails? From a production standpoint, there is nothing more painful than this. So, the trend these days is to first open a film in a major target country, look at the reaction, and then release it in other countries sequentially. It is a concept that is in line with the stock market saying that you don’t put all your eggs in one basket.”

“By the way, Europakov is promoting the simultaneous release of [The Melody of Dancing with the Waves] all over the world…?”

At Jeong So-ra’s question, Han Jeong-hee’s lips slightly rose.

“It means that I have the confidence to make it a box office hit.”

***

This is the comeback after 20 years of director Jean Dumont, the tragic master of French cinema.

The lead role was an Asian actor of Korean nationality, and he was a hero who subdued the Bataclan Theater terrorist who almost led to a catastrophe.

This alone is worthy of note, but by recovering the historical treasures of France, it created a ripple effect that can be described as a syndrome in both Korea and France.

and today.

[The Melody Dancing with the Waves], which created a lot of buzz even before its release, was released simultaneously around the world.

A poster with the image of Alain (Kyu-ha) playing the piano with a calm expression on a rocking boat was hung in theaters around the world, and as if to prove its topicality, it reached 2.53 million pre-ordered audiences as of the day before its release.

It easily beats the previous record of ‘Doctor Straight’ and breaks a new record.

“manager! Did you see the advance reservation rate!? Oh my God, I doubted my eyes. Awesome! Awesome!!”

Jeong So-ra, the head of the public relations team, was excited about the numbers on the monitor and looked at Han Jeong-hee and the monitor alternately.

“no. Chief Jung. Why is the owner of a bigger bastard than the German fortuneteller Octopus, who expected it to be a big hit, making such a fuss?”

It was only then that Jung So-ra scratched her cheek at the fact that she was so excited.

“Everything, of course, I thought it would be a hit, but honestly, I didn’t expect that the pre-orders would reach this level.”

“Hohoho, I honestly didn’t expect this much. Still, it’s only a pre-booking rate, so don’t get excited. It could end with a dragon head…”

“Hmm…. Judging from the reaction to the premiere and reviews from critics, I don’t think that will happen, right?”

“How are the reactions?”

“You are so good. It’s one color of praise. First of all, the movie itself is fun, but the majority of reviews are praising Kyu-ha’s acting.”

At Jung So-ra’s words, Han Jeong-hee let out a sigh of relief.

“Whew… I’m glad. I was worried that the sensibility unique to French films would not work in the Korean market.”

“It has a sensuous atmosphere unique to France, but also has the characteristics of a commercial film melted well here and there, and above all, since the lead actor is Korean, it seems that the immersion is good.”

“It’s good. I want it to go on like this all the time.”

However, Han Jeong-hee’s wish for things to go on like this did not come true.

[The Melody Dancing with the Waves] surpassed 3 million views within two days of its release,

In the first week of release, it attracted 5.32 million viewers, recording the largest number of viewers in the first week of a foreign film release.

This was the second highest score after ‘Hakikjin’, which ranked first among Korean and foreign films.

It was a box office hit like a hurricane.

Since its release, [The Melody Dancing with the Waves] has opened a new era that changes the box office history every day.

Stella Entertainment Sangam office building.

Along with the great success of [The Melody Dancing with the Waves], Stellar Entertainment also became busy.

However, the overall atmosphere was very bright and hopeful, perhaps because of the pride that the actor who shook Korea belonged to his company.

“Chief Han! Chief Han! oh! Team leader Han’s complexion…?”

Jeong So-ra, who was urgently looking for Han Jeong-hee, flinched when a new report was made.

It was because team leader Han Jeong-hee’s slightly bloodshot eyes, along with deep dark circles under his eyes, didn’t look good.

“Why are you like this, Chief? Like someone who couldn’t sleep all night.”

At Jeong So-ra’s worrying words, Han Jeong-hee slumped helplessly in the seat next to her.

“I couldn’t sleep all night. how do you sleep The record is not broken in real time, but after work, I keep contacting you from France with a different time difference. This time, I realized why people who play coins can’t sleep and only look at charts.”

“Ah… Team leader Han is the general manager, so that could be true. Anyway, the invitation went off.”

“I didn’t expect this much either. First of all, it is a known fact that the final score exceeds 10 million, but no one can predict how far it will go beyond 10 million.”

“Finally, a new 10 million new actor is born in our company! Oh my God, congratulations to the manager.”

“I don’t think it will be too late to say congratulations when the coffin goes down and the final score is counted. To be honest, I don’t have time to sleep these days, so I’m blank all day.”

“Cheer up a little. It’s not long now. ah! Then how are the scores of other countries?”

At Jeong So-ra’s question, a light shone in the eyes of Han Jeong-hee, who was sitting helplessly.

“We are showing good results in North America and major countries around the world. It seems that the break-even point will be exceeded unconditionally.”

“Good for you! Has there ever been a movie that had a score like this even though it wasn’t even a blockbuster movie? Now, I wouldn’t disagree with you even if you say you’ve risen to the ranks of real world-class actors.”

“If it goes well until the end, that will be it. But the problem is France.”

“France? Why is France Surely there is no problem there?”

“I have a problem. A very serious problem.”

As Han Jeong-hee’s voice became serious, Jeong So-ra’s face grew heavy.

“What’s wrong…?”

“France already has over 10 million.”

“Yeah!? It’s been 14 days since the opening, right?”

“The box office success of [The Melody Dancing with the Waves] is more unusual in France than in Korea. Word of mouth spreads quickly, so the reservation rate is rising like crazy.”

“her…..”

Even Jeong So, who always had a positive and four-dimensional corner, could not easily open his mouth.

Five weeks have passed since [The Melody Dancing with the Waves] was released.

The box office success, which seemed to be unbreakable, gradually lost power like a ball drawing a parabola and drew a downward curve little by little.

The public’s attention was focused on what the final score of [The Melody Dancing with the Waves] would be.

Looking at the entire Korean film industry, quite a few 10 million actors have been born, but there has never been an actor who has achieved such a record score in both countries at the same time, even in France, an advanced film country.

And when 45 days passed since [The Melody Dancing with the Waves] was released, the final score was finally counted.

“Ugh! Chief Han! hurray!! hurray!!! Long live Stellar Song Gyu-ha!!”

At the Stella Entertainment office building, all employees shouted hurray and celebrated the enduring beauty of [The Melody Dancing with the Waves].
