Son Ye-Jin 손예진 [Drama “Thirty-Nine” (JTBC/NETFLIX)]

[Guest Seoul GC man]

^^ The taping of KBS2TV "Entertainment Relay / Enter Yunyega" took place at Seoul Lotte World on the 27th with popular actress Son Ye-Jin. As a result of 200 fans (suddenly) arriving on the scene to see her, filming had to be suspended/stopped for a moment (resumed later on). This episode will be aired on the 29th at 10:05 pm.

I had a blast @Lotte World (I call it the Disney World of S. Korea) a few years ago. I can tell ya this amusement park is definitey quite popular with the locals coz there were always a sea of people queuing up @ every ride.

I'm sure I will go nuts too if I saw SYJ there.

추격자 수익률 '추격불허 1위' … '우생순' 은메달

[2008 순위의 재구성] <1> 영화

최고 흥행작 '놈놈놈' 수익률은 8위… '모던보이' 수익률 최저

라제기 기자 wenders@hk.co.kr

12월이다. 한 해를 마무리해야 할 시점이다. 한국일보 문화부는 관객 동원이나 시청률, 음반 판매량 등의 단순 수치를 넘어선 '2008 순위의 재구성' 시리즈를 통해 올해 대중문화의 진정한 강자를 꼽아본다. 첫 대상은 충무로. 올해 개봉된 영화 중 관객 동원 1~30위의 영화를 대상으로, 수익률 분석을 통해 흥행 순위를 재구성했다.

■ 가장 장사 잘한 영화는 '추격자'

올해 가장 장사를 잘한 영화는 나홍진 감독의 '추격자'였다. 상반기 최고 히트작인 '추격자'의 순제작비는 37억원, 마케팅비 등을 포함하면 총 60억원이 들었다.

영화진흥위원회 집계에 따르면 '추격자'의 매출액은 총제작비의 5.6배인 339억4,200만원에 달했다. 극장이 영화관람료 수입 50%를 가져가는 영화계 관례를 따지면 '추격자'의 순수 수입은 170억원에 이른다.

'우리 생애 최고의 순간'도 알짜 장사를 했다. 총제작비 54억원으로 5배 가까운 261억4,200만원을 벌어들여 '추격자'의 뒤를 이었다. 문소리와 김정은 등 출연 배우들의 열연과 임순례 감독의 연출력이 어우러진 결과. 때마침 불었던 핸드볼 바람도 흥행에 훈풍으로 작용했다.

3위는 여름 막바지 극장가를 점령한 '고死: 피의 중간고사'가 차지했다. 주연 이범수가 평소 10분의 1 수준의 개런티를 받았다고 해 화제를 모았던 이 영화는 흥행에서도 짠돌이 정신을 강력하게 발휘했다.

총제작비 25억원을 지렛대로 103억원의 매출을 올렸다. 매출액 대비 수익률이 412%다. 관객 동원으로만 따질 때 '고死: 피의 중간고사'의 순위는 9위에 그친다.

수익률 4위는 410%를 기록한 강우석 감독의 '강철중: 공공의적 1-1'이 차지했다. 관객 동원 순위 14위에 그친 '영화는 영화다'(386%)가 5위에 오르는 기염을 토했다. '영화는 영화다'는 불황의 수렁에 빠진 충무로에 제작비 절감의 적절한 성공 모델을 제시했다는 점에서도 큰 의미를 가진다.

■ '님은 먼 곳에' '모던 보이' 빛 좋은 개살구

매출액 덩치는 컸지만 정작 수익률은 낮은 빛 좋은 개살구 식 영화도 있었다. 대표적인 영화가 관객 동원(181만명) 7위를 차지한 '님은 먼 곳에'. 총제작비 100억원이 투입된 '님은 먼 곳에'는 134억9,500만원의 매출을 올려 수익률 118%에 그쳤다.

극장과의 분배를 감안하면 제작비의 절반 가량만을 건진 셈이다. 흥행 순위(208만명) 6위 '눈에는 눈 이에는 이'도 수익률(178%) 순위 10위권에 이름을 올리지 못했다.

올해 최고 흥행작인 '좋은 놈, 나쁜 놈, 이상한 놈'도 이름값을 못했다. 수익률 229%로 8위다. 200억원의 총제작비를 들여 459억원의 매출을 기록했는데, 제작사와 투자배급사에 떨어진 돈이 230억원 정도로 순 수익은 30억원에 불과했다. 일각에서 총제작비가 더 들었을 거라는 추측도 제기돼 실제 수익률이 더 낮을 가능성도 배제할 수 없다.

수치상 수익률이 가장 낮은 영화라는 불명예는 '모던 보이'가 떠안았다. 총제작비 96억원으로 추정되는 '모던 보이'는 49억9,920만원밖에 벌지 못했다. '고고70'(총제작비 66억원, 매출액 38억6,400만원)과 '울학교 이티'(총제작비 50억원, 매출액 41억5,700만원)도 바닥권의 수익률을 보였다.

뜬 별 - 하정우 추격자 등 3편서 활약… 김남길 팔색조 변신 눈길

하정우, 소지섭, 김남길, 손예진(왼쪽부터)

올해를 통틀어 스크린에서 가장 돋보인 배우는 하정우를 꼽아야 할 것이다. 상반기 최고 인기를 누린 화제작 '추격자'에서 속내를 알 듯 모를 듯한 연쇄살인범 역을 '치가 떨릴 정도로' 소화해내 대중에게 이름 석 자를 확실히 각인시킨 그는, 이어 전도연과 호흡을 맞춘 '멋진 하루'도 자신의 영화로 만들었다.

2003년 '마들렌'으로 데뷔한 그는 지난해까지만 해도 존재가 미미한 배우에 속했지만, 올해에만 '비스티보이즈'까지 3편의 영화를 찍는 등 가장 바쁜 남자 배우로 떠올랐다.

'영화는 영화다'의 소지섭과 강지환도 TV용 배우라는 이미지를 지우고 스크린을 장악할 수 있는 연기파 배우로 인정받는 수확을 거뒀다. 특히 소지섭은 군복무의 공백기를 딛고 컴백에 성공했다.

은근히 자기 영역을 넓힌 또 다른 남자 배우는 김남길이다. 그동안 드라마 등에서 별반 두각을 나타내지 못하던 그는 '강철중'에서는 악당으로, '모던 보이'에서는 냉철한 일본 검사로, '미인도'에서 순박한 연인으로 다채로운 변신을 보여주었다. 앞으로의 가능성에 대한 기대를 더 크게 만든 것이다.

'좋은 놈 나쁜 놈 이상한 놈'의 세 주연배우 정우성 이병헌 송강호는 스타일리시한 영화에서 나름대로 자신의 이미지를 구현했지만 남는 장사를 한 것은 이병헌 정도다. 이 영화로 칸영화제에서 관심을 모은 이병헌은 할리우드 영화 'G.I. 조'에 출연하는 등 해외 진출의 발판을 마련했다.

반면 여배우들은 2년째 기근이라고 할 정도로 뜬 별이 드물다. 자신의 이미지를 십분 살린 손예진('아내가 결혼했다')이 그나마 유일하게 주목받았고 신인 중에는 '과속스캔들'의 박보영이 눈길을 끌었다. 주연이었지만 공효진('미쓰 홍당무') 김혜수 박해일(이상 '모던 보이')은 흥행성적과 캐릭터의 한계로 크게 남는 장사는 못 했다는 평가.

대신 나홍진('추격자') 이경미('미쓰 홍당무') 장훈('영화는 영화다') 등 신인 감독들이 대거 인정받은, '신인 감독의 해'였다.

Bae Yong-joon is highest-paid actor

A phenomenal Korean star in Japan, Bae Yong-joon is the highest paid actor in Korea by raking in 250 million won ($171,600) per episode, an unusual release of the details of actors` payrolls showed this week.

A seminar on Korean television drama was held on Monday in Mok-dong, Seoul, hosted by the association of Korean television drama production directors to tell the difficulty in footing production costs.

Broadcasting stations and production companies have been raising concerns about costly payments to stars in current years. They contend the payments create serious difficulties in financing television programs.

At the event, details of the payments for popular actors and actresses during the last two years were revealed by professor Kim Jin-woong of Sun Moon University.

Bae Yong-joon was found to be the most expensive star of all while he starred in the autumn hit of 2007, "The Legend." The number, however, is an approximation, as Bae was paid in a form of splitting profits between his management company and the production firm, Kim Jin-woong said.

Bae`s estimated pay, however, is nearly double that of another actor Park Shin-yang, whose payment scuffle with a production agency drew attention in July. Park had filed a suit against the production to fully pay up the agreed 155 million won per each of the extended episodes of SBS "Money`s Warfare" in 2007.

Other highly paid actors included Song Seung-heon, who raked in 70 million won per episode of "East of Eden," along with Kwon Sang-woo of "Bad Love," Park Shin-yang of "The Painter of the Wind" and Lee Jung-jae of "Air City," each receiving 50 million won per episode.

Actresses were slightly lower in income, with Ko Hyun-joung of "H.I.T." and Song Hye-kyo of "The World That They Live In" each getting 35 million won per episode. Son Ye-jin reportedly earned about 30 million per episode of "Spotlight."

Among newcomers to the acting scene, the highest paid star was singer-turned-actor Yoon Kye-sang who starred in "Who Are You?" and raked in 18 million per episode. Following Yoon was Jang Geun-suk of the latest hit "Beethoven Virus," earning 12 million per episode.

These lucrative payments were a sharp surge from just several years ago, where in 2001, the highest payment per episode was 4 million and 5 million won by top star Kang Soo-yeon for her work on "Ladies of the Palace." The report said that the price of hiring stars in television dramas began to skyrocket when Jeon Do-youn began receiving 15 million won for "Lovers in Prague" in 2005.
