CEO Im Eun-jung will leave CJ ENM in 2023 and establish the film production company 'Ondaworks'.

 

 

It is said that the reason he left a large corporation and started an independent production company was because of a single project.

It's the movie 'The Man Living with the King'.

The first time I came across the original draft of this work was in 2018.

The project was reportedly put on hold for a long time as production was halted due to the COVID-19 pandemic while the film adaptation was in progress.

However, in order to keep his promise to the creators he was working with, he ended up leaving the company and establishing his own production company.

The sense of responsibility to complete the work to the end was the beginning of an independent production company.

He said that after watching the drama 'Weak Hero', he was confident that he would be suitable for the role of King Danjong.

Director Jang Hang-jun also said that he initially hesitated to direct the film because he felt burdened by the historical drama genre, but after revising the script and persuading others, he decided to participate.

It is said that there were many rounds of persuasion and coordination during the production process.

 

5. The Success of Wang Sanam and the Philosophy of Film Production

 

'The Man Living with the King' recorded a huge box office success, with the number of viewers increasing rapidly since its release to the point where the possibility of surpassing 10 million viewers was mentioned.

 

CEO Im Eun-jung also revealed that she wanted to convey a social message through this work, rather than making it a simple historical drama.

In particular, the starting point of the work was the question of how we should remember and talk about social tragedies such as the Sewol Ferry Disaster and the Itaewon Disaster.

So the core emotions of the work were also ‘compassion’ and ‘empathy.’

 

There are also evaluations that the systematic production method learned from a large investment distribution company was combined with a production philosophy that values ​​trust with creators.
