I Know Everything

Chapter 96: Didn't expect.

Compared to the excitement and eagerness from the ordinary populace, there was an undercurrent surging up in the film industry.

The movie 'Love Letter' had attracted so much attention in South Korea for 7 days in a row. The average viewers queuing was more than 15,000 a day, which had set the records for the Busan International Film Festival.

Moreover, in a website in Korean dedicated to reviewing movies with scores, more than 20,000 posted and rated the movie.

According to the number of 3,000 people viewing the movie per day, almost 90% of the people who viewed the movie went to give their review on the website.

Even if there were fakes that didn't watch the movie and only came to join the excitement, there shouldn't be more than half of them.

And the average score of 'Love Letter' was 9.2 and ranked 13th among all the films in South Korea. The movie popularity was even greater as there were 2,000 reviews that had more than 1,000 words in them.

That 13th ranking shouldn't be looked down at.

Over the past ten years or so, there were plenty of good movies that came out in South Korea but there were only 8 movies that had more than 10 million people that had watched it.

There were dozens of movies that had good reviews and box offices.

South Korea's comedy and action movies were generally very popular in China and often generated more than 100 million yuan in box office.

Therefore 'Love Letter' obtaining the 13th rank meant that it wasn't a bad movie at least and it was a very good and popular movie.

Based on many years of experiences, movies with high ratings and reviews in South Korea also fared very well in China.

Since it was a good movie that had won many awards, it would be welcomed in the market so the distribution rights of 'Love Letter' naturally became coveted.

To think that movie could have been bought with just ten million yuan and it was even with very advantageous clauses but it was freely given up just like that. The senior executives of major film companies and cinemas companies were enraged.

While 'Love Letter' was screening in South Korea, countless film companies' audit managers and distribution managers were scolded by the people above.

Several of them even got fired.

Now that 'Love Letter' returned with all the honors, those companies and theater chains obviously wanted to rectify that mistake and hold it tightly to their chest.

They would definitely be able to make a lot of money if they distributed such a movie and most importantly, the reputation they would gain from it.

Just think about it.

To have a movie like 'Love Letter' that gained glory for the Chinese abroad in their company's resume and exhibition hall, how great would that be?

It would even give other people a better opinion of your company's power.

This was also one of the reasons why many companies invested in film companies even if they didn't make any money from it.

Several days ago, when 'Love Letter' was still exploding in popularity in South Korea and won the affection of many, multiple film companies went there to seek it.

It included Yunxing Entertainment, who also participated in the film festival, and Shanhai Streaming, who weren't exactly like the rest.

But none of them got the right to distribute the movie.
