The news that "Charlotte's Troubles" officially started filming did not cause much waves.

It is a comedy film with an unknown cast. Apart from the three prominent words "Ye Zhiqiu" in the director and screenwriter columns, there is no other big name in the entire crew.

Coupled with the "copycat" name, it's obvious that this is a low-budget film, which makes it hard to arouse people's interest.

Although this is a subject that Ye Zhiqiu is good at, and there have been successful examples of low-budget comedies like "Crazy Stone", but that is a special case.

Generally speaking, audiences still prefer to watch blockbusters with luxurious casts and stunning images, so not many people pay attention to this work.

At the same time, in April, another movie related to Ye Zhiqiu, titled "Half Century's Promise", attracted a lot of attention.

This film is a co-production between China and South Korea. The leading actor is the film emperor Hwang Jung-min from the "One Leaf Knows Autumn" studio, and it will be released simultaneously in both countries.

In Korea, the film is called "International Market".

Unlike the previous film "My Sassy Girl", the producers are obviously more confident in this film and the publicity and promotion efforts are much greater.

Many viewers expressed their opinions online.

"Written by Ye Zhiqiu, starring Huang Zhengmin? It looks good."

"Be cautious and optimistic. Have you forgotten the law that 'co-productions have always resulted in bad films'?"

"Hahaha, it seems to be true. There have been quite a few film and television works co-produced by China and foreign countries over the years, but it seems that there are really no good works that people can remember."

"Even an international film star would fail. There are precedents like this before."

"According to the synopsis, it's a drama, which is the type Ye Zhiqiu is best at. It's worth looking forward to."

Domestically, all major cinema chains are quite optimistic about this film, with the previous performance of "My Sassy Girl" and the double box office guarantee of "Ye Zhiqiu" and "Hwang Jung-min", and have given it nearly 20% of the screening time.

In South Korea, SG Entertainment invested more in this film, and with the efforts of many parties, the premiere screening rate directly reached nearly 40%.

......

A senior shareholder meeting is being held at the SG Group Building in Seoul.

"...My Sassy Girl has been watched by over 700 million people in Korea, and its total box office has entered the top 15 of Korea's annual box office, with a profit of nearly 185 billion won..."

On the stage, SG Entertainment President Kim Mi-yeong read out the data in a leisurely and steady voice.

After she used the tactic of "retreat to advance" and kicked out the director who was forcibly appointed by the group company, Jin Meiying carried out drastic reforms and immediately resumed cooperation with Ye Zhiqiu.

From the current perspective, her decision was extremely correct. One of the two films she collaborated on has become a hit, and the other is waiting to be released.

Strength means the right to speak. Now, Kim Mi-young has completely taken control of SG Entertainment, and no one in the group company dares to treat her as a powerless puppet.

"In the next stage, SG Entertainment will continue to increase its investment in the film and television sector and explore films of different themes and types, including action, disaster, science fiction, etc. that are not more expensive to produce and more attractive to audiences..."

On the other side of the office, Lee Hae-jin, who was kicked out of SG Entertainment, listened to Kim Mi-young's speech with a gloomy face from beginning to end. At this point, he finally couldn't help but sneered.

The sound was not loud, but it was loud enough for people in the conference room to hear.

Jin Meiying stopped, looked at the other party calmly, and said lightly: "Director Li seems to have an opinion on what I said?"

Hearing this, Li Haizhen's face turned cold.

Kim Mi-young called him "Director Lee," which was his position before he left SG Entertainment.

Now that she had been kicked out, Kim Mi-young's shouting was obviously full of sarcasm.
