In fact, there was another person who benefited from this incident, and that was Li Cangdong. On the morning of the next day, Li Cangdong was taken into Li Jianxi's villa in Jiangnan District, where Fang Mingyuan met him. , and discussed a script with him, a script "The King's Man" that required Li Cangdong never to reveal who was the author of the script.

In Fang Mingyuan's previous life, "The King's Man" was a Korean film with a small investment, but it became the second most watched film in the history of Korean films, with more than 12 million viewers. At that time, South Korea There were less than 40 million people over the age of fifteen who could go to the cinema to watch this movie. In other words, less than one in four Korean adults at that time watched this movie. And in " Before the release of "The King's Man", only two movies, "The Flying Taegeuk Flag" and "Silmido", set records of more than 10 million moviegoers.

However, "The Flying Taegeukgi" and "Silmido", one with an investment of more than 1.4 billion won and the other with an investment of 1.2 billion won, were both directed by famous Korean directors at the time and starred by top-notch movie stars, while "The King" "The Man" only invested 4.1 billion won. The director is also unknown, and the actors are second- and third-rate entertainers. One of the leading actors is also the soul of the film, the actor who is more beautiful than men and more charming than women. He is also a debutante. A recent newcomer, with such a small investment and a combination of small artists, it broke the highest number of viewers for a Korean movie in a very short period of time and became one of the most popular movies in the history of Korean movies.

In addition, "The King's Man" also set a series of records in the history of Korean movies. It is the only historical-themed movie in the top ten in the history of Korean movies; it is the first Korean movie in the history to expand its screening in the 10th week of its release. It is the first Korean film to be exported overseas through direct distribution. It is also the most profitable film in the history of Korean films, if not the only one before. The production cost plus publicity expenses are only 6 to 7 billion won. The direct income has reached nearly 90 billion won. If peripheral benefits are included, the total can be as high as hundreds of billions of won!

Such a movie about the emotional entanglement between same-sex people is naturally particularly eye-catching. It not only caused a sensation in South Korea, but was also introduced to China at that time. Under the "oppression" of his girlfriend at the time, Fang Mingyuan had to accompany him to the theater to receive advice. After a while, he only had a rough impression of the plot, but he was also deeply impressed by Kong Ji in it. This is indeed a man who can impress people by dressing up as a woman!

It is precisely because of this that it became one of the few Korean movies that Fang Mingyuan has watched and left an impression on.

And Li Cangdong understood after just hearing a big sigh. The script Fang Mingyuan said was adapted from the stage play "You" which had won many honors in South Korea. Moreover, this is a very sensitive gay subject. Don't say It's in South Korea, even in the United States. It's also quite attracting attention.

And the more he listened, the more frightened he became. As a Korean, he naturally knew the virtual backgrounds of the characters in Fang's script. However, in Fang's script, the historical figures Yanshanjun and Lvshui who often appeared in TV dramas were not there.

It is described as a traditional image of a tyrant and a temptress. Instead, it vividly displays their hidden inner loneliness and pain. The movie also does not focus on portraying the cruelty of Yanshan Jun like other movies, but plays two

He comes from a humble background, but he can change his destined destiny into a happy way of life, and he is a low-level person.

Although Li Cangdong said he didn't know whether such a script could attract Korean audiences, from his personal perspective, he listened very attentively. He is not only a director, but also a screenwriter. There are countless screenwriters in the world.

I hope to be like him, listening to the youngest and most mysterious Oscar-winning screenwriter in Hollywood talk about his script outline.

"Director Li, funding for filming is not a problem. Samsung Group will provide you with 5 billion won for filming. I hope you can live within your means. I want to remind you that for the role of Kong Ji, acting is very important, but appearance is also very important.

, if there is no suitable candidate, then it is better not to waste this subject matter. In the last sentence, I want to warn you, I just told you the outline of a script. I don’t care who you are willing to find to rewrite it into a script, but

Never tell others at any time that this outline comes from me!" Fang Mingyuan said seriously.

Li Cangdong opened his mouth in surprise, and his whole body felt as if a basin of ice water had been poured down on him. Originally, he was still immersed in the happiness of being one of the lucky directors who got "Fang"'s script. Regardless of "The King's"

What is the final box office performance of "The Man"? This alone is enough to make him once again the object of crazy pursuit by the Korean media. You know, so far, the directors who have collaborated with "Fang" have not been released yet.

"Lord of the Rings" is the director of "Death is Coming". He is not a world-famous director, but the crazy box office of "Death is Coming" has pushed its director into the ranks of Hollywood's first-line directors.

It can be said that being able to work with "Fang" is what countless Korean filmmakers dream of. When he was invited by Fang Mingyuan and came to this villa in Jiangnan District, he felt like he was in a dream.

How could he not be so excited that it actually fell on him? But he guessed the beginning, but not the end. Fang Mingyuan actually refused to sign the script!

Looking at Li Cangdong's panicked look, Fang Mingyuan's face was calm. "The King's Man" is a film involving same-sex themes. Although the international community has become more and more tolerant of same-sex love,

But after all, it is still not widely accepted. It can only be said that people do not regard it as a enemy as before. Moreover, most of the films involving this subject are not well received, and even "The King's Man" only became a success in South Korea.

has become a national film, but at the global box office, it has not had many brilliant achievements.

The golden sign of "Fang" will still be very important to Fang Mingyuan in the future, so he doesn't want to get involved in the topic of homosexuality prematurely. Moreover, the reason why he came to Li Cangdong is that Fang Mingyuan doesn't want to let him go.

He only had a few impressions of Korean movies, and he used them as a favor. He had already read Li Cangdong's information and felt that this person still had great potential for development, so he decided to hand over the script to Li Cangdong.

"Why? Senior, why is this?" Li Cangdong shouted excitedly. Although he is much older than Fang Mingyuan, Fang Mingyuan became famous very early, and his achievements in the film industry are beyond his reach, so

Li Cangdong was quite willing to call him "senior" these few times.

Fang Mingyuan didn't explain anything, but just told him lightly that he would always pay attention to him, and asked him what he thought of "My Sassy Girl" that had already started filming, and then Chen Zhong was very polite

sent him out.

Li Cangdong was puzzled, but he couldn't bear to give up "The King's Man" just like this, so he spent the next half year constantly improving the script. During this period, whenever the media asked him

When commenting on movies that are currently being released or are about to be released in South Korea, he always says that he is looking forward to "My Sassy Girl". He feels that asking himself this question as Fang Mingyuan is not just to amuse himself.

To play.

The subsequent box office performance of "My Sassy Girl" not only made Jun Ji-hyun and Cha Tae-hyun famous, but also made Lee Chang-dong famous. People gave him high praise for his outstanding vision. This made him unable to help Fang Mingyuan.

His eyes were filled with admiration and admiration!

In November 2003, after receiving investment from a company under the Samsung Group, Lee Chang-dong officially invested in the filming of "The King's Man", in which Gong Ji was played by Lee Jun-ki. At this time, he had just made his debut shooting magazine cover photos.

In less than two years, although he has already participated in two movies, he is still unknown. Many people were surprised by Li Cangdong's choice.

At the end of December 2004, "The King's Man" was released and achieved a more brilliant box office miracle than Fang Mingyuan's previous life. It was released for 57 days, breaking the tens of millions of moviegoers, and finally released for 100 days.

, the number of movie viewers reached 15.74 million, becoming the well-deserved top-grossing film in the history of Korean movies. As a result, Lee Chang-dong became South Korea's top film director, and was retailed by South Korean entertainment industry in 2026.

He was elected as South Korea's Minister of Culture by the People's Association and served for four years and seven months, becoming one of the most influential directors in the Korean entertainment industry! (To be continued...)
