Financing negotiations between the Pacific Foundation and the three entertainment companies began quickly, and although the specific work was entrusted to Scott and the negotiating team, Ronan was not idle, accompanied by Alex, to further investigate the Korean film market, especially the surrounding industries.

For Hollywood, South Korea is already a mature overseas film market, and there is little room for growth in terms of theatrical box office share, but the surrounding market has not yet been further developed.

Ronan went to the sales department of several large theaters in Seoul and the chain stores of discs and videotapes, and the sales in the surrounding areas were not good, and in some DVD stores, he also found many pirated CDs.

No one can expect every country to have a more complete and strict copyright protection law like North America, and compared to most countries and regions, South Korea has done well.

After a day, Ronan knew that there was a long way to go in the development of the Korean market, and on the way back to the hotel, he exchanged a lot of opinions with Alex.

As the car passed near a huge stadium under construction, Ronan asked, "Is this the venue for next year's World Cup?"

The 2002 World Cup was co-hosted by South Korea and the island nation.

Alex looked through the car window and replied, "This is the World Cup stadium, where the opening ceremony will be held next year." ”

Ronan nodded, it seemed that the national team of an indescribable country would also set foot on the World Cup for the first time, this football team......

I remember the goal of this edition is to get a point, score a goal, win a game or something.

In any case, in the end, there was no bottom.

The Saudi team is so wonderful.

But the national team has plummeted since then.

How can I say it? I was responsible for creating laughter from the people of the whole country, and I took on countless Internet memes.

It is said that during the 08 Olympic Games, the star of "I am not born strong, I am just born to be cool", after the Olympic final, I felt that the oriental fans were very enthusiastic, and the whole stadium was cheering for the Argentine team in Chinese, and after the game, a reporter interviewed him for praising him for learning Chinese well, and asked him to try to say "Argentina come on", but the shy smiled and said softly "Xie Yalong, get out of class".

At that time, the big man of the Football Association created the most popular online term of the year - the fork psoas.

Legend has it that Phelps swam so fast and won so many gold medals at that Olympics because the psoas muscles soaked their feet in the pool.

Alex asked tentatively, "Mr. Anderson likes football?"

Ronan nodded: "I'll take a look once in a while." He said casually: "I like both English football and American football, but unfortunately I don't have much time to watch it." ”

In fact, it is not bad to buy a team to play in a professional sports club, as he said to Mansour at the beginning, building a top professional team is also a great promotion for himself and the company.

If it is run well, the club does not need to be too transfused.

In the previous two years, Mansour had fought with Rupert Murdoch for Manchester United, but both ended in defeat thanks to strong intervention by the FA.

Ronan remembers that Manchester United later became part of the Glazer family.

It's a pity that he doesn't have enough money right now, otherwise he could have gone and played a football game.

Let's see if there are any suitable opportunities in the future.

Alex then added: "I applied for some tickets through connections. Mr. Anderson, if you have time next year, you can come and watch the World Cup. ”

Ronan smiled, "Okay, I'll come when I have time." ”

Alex said: "I booked a lot of tickets for the home team......

Ronan was a little speechless for a moment.

This year's South Korean team's game, forget it, because it's too speechless.

Some related memories of the previous life surfaced, the South Korean team first hacked Italy, and then did Spain in an even darker way, shocking the world.

Perhaps only the Koreans themselves were caught in a carnival at that time, completely ignoring the world's invective and accusations.

Anyway, bury your head in the sand and don't have to look outside.

And Koreans can do it, but they can't let people from other countries say it.

A football commentator in the indescribable country told a few very subtle truths during the live broadcast, which led to a direct protest from the South Korean embassy, and by the time it was rebroadcast the next day, the commentator's comments had been replaced.

Of course, the South Koreans can do this in East Asia, and the West does not buy it at all, and the European media have dubbed the South Korean team in the 2002 World Cup "the most shameful event in the history of the World Cup".

What role FIFA played in this, anyone who knows a little about football can imagine.

Professional football has never been a pure land.

Ronan had read the news on the Internet that I didn't know if it was true or not, and the then FIFA vice-president, Chung Mong-joon, of South Korea, once said: "They asked me if I had bribed the referee? If I have the ability, why not?"

In the semi-finals, why was Germany able to finish South Korea? The "Emperor of Football" and then President of the German Football Association, Beckenbauer, came out to put pressure on FIFA, but they were the targets that the then FIFA bigwig Blatter had to win over if he wanted to be re-elected.

It is said that an hour before the final, the referee team was replaced by a European team led by Swiss referees, and Germany was a European team, which in itself did not conform to the default rules of referee selection at that time.

Without the referee to take care of ......

If you want to win the Hercules Cup, you don't just rely on the strength and performance of the team.

Behind the World Cup, there is also an intricate power arena.

The car came to the hotel and stopped in front of the main entrance, Ronan entered the hotel with his assistant Connie, and just walked into the hotel lobby, Connie's mobile phone rang.

Connie answered the phone, said a few words, covered the microphone, and said to Ronan, "A call from President Kim Young-min." ”

Ronan took the mobile phone and chatted with Kim Yingmin, Kim Yingmin was very polite, and said a few words such as "Poor hospitality, please bear with me", and then said that as the host and partner, they will have a few gifts tonight, please Ronan must not refuse.

What kind of gift it was, Kim Young-min didn't say, and Ronan couldn't be rude to ask.

Hanging up, Ronan said to Connie, "The Koreans may send something over and let me know when they arrive." ”

Connie immediately said, "Okay. ”

Ronan didn't stay in the hall, and went straight back to his room to rest, while summarizing the experience of the field trip in the past few days.

The South Korean entertainment market is not very large, because of the population and other relations, the overall volume is not as good as that of the island country, although there is a huge population with the same roots and origins in the north, but the two are in a state of mortal enemies, and it is impossible for Hollywood movies to cross the line of 38 degrees north latitude through legitimate channels.

The North Side appears as an absolute villain in Hollywood movies.

In the movie starring Langlan and Seth Rogan in the previous life, the theme was to directly assassinate the leader over there, and it can only be said that these Hollywood people dare to shoot anything for commercial interests.

Maybe one day, Hollywood will be able to open up the film market in the north.

By the way, I remember that the big worm Rodman guy seems to have a very peculiar friendship with a certain fat man in the north.

Ronan had dinner in his suite, took a shower, sat in front of his laptop and worked on his work email, and it was just eight o'clock in the evening when Connie called and said that something from a Korean had been delivered.

Connie's voice was a little strange, as if the gift was very special......

Ronan is also quite curious, what kind of dress can these Koreans give?

There was a knock on the door, and Ronan opened the door, where Connie was standing with a present.

These are two people, two women who look quite familiar.

A modern sedan stopped in front of the hotel, and Lee Hyo-ri glanced at the hotel's signboard and knew that he had arrived at his destination.

"Go ahead. The agent sitting in the passenger seat said: "This will be of great benefit to your future development, haven't you always wanted to release a separate record......?

The words stopped at the point, but Li Xiaoli was very clear, nodded lightly, and walked into the hotel.

While still in her first contract, she was powerless to stand up to the brokerage company, and it was impossible for her to stand up to it.

Besides, it's not a big deal, most of the female stars in the circle who have some looks like this are here.

Li Xiaoli simply cleaned up his mood, found the makeup mirror again, looked at the makeup on his face, and then walked into the elevator room.

It is said that this time it is a big man in the American entertainment industry, if you can make the other party happy, will there be a chance to open a concert to the United States in the future?

At that time, it doesn't matter if you can get free tickets or even free tickets, as long as you can start the concert and have a certain number of audiences, your value and style will immediately increase by a notch.

Li Xiaoli entered the industry at the age of eighteen, and he knows very well that the local market is really not big, and the competition is too fierce for so many artists to grab such a small piece of cake.

It's like she, she has paid so much, that is, she can barely eat.

Taking the elevator to the upper floor of the hotel, Lee Hyo-ri dialed a phone number, saw an ordinary-looking brown-haired woman, and hurriedly introduced herself in English that she was not very proficient in: "Hello, I'm Lee Hyo-ri, bringing Mr. Park Jang-gil's greeting to Mr. Anderson." ”

Connie glanced at this Korean woman with unusually delicate makeup and said, "You come with me." ”

These Koreans have a peculiar way of entertaining VIPs.

When she was in Los Angeles, she thought Hollywood was messy enough, but she didn't expect it......

This time it came out, it really grew solid, and the Korean entertainment industry is much more chaotic than Hollywood.

"I'm sorry for you. "Lee Hyo-ri is very polite.

Connie led her to the door of the presidential suite and knocked softly, revealing a young face from the inside.

Lee Hyori was a little surprised, this person was tall, handsome, easy-going, and easy to impress people at first sight.

Listening to the man and the woman who was obviously an assistant quickly exchanging words in English, Lee Hyo-ri walked into the presidential suite, and unconsciously twisted his waist in order to make his posture more attractive.

"Do you speak English?" Ronan asked.

"Will say. Lee Hyo-ri replied, "Not very fluent." ”

While speaking, she walked into the living room of the presidential suite, and when she saw the two figures sitting on the sofa, she couldn't help but raise her eyebrows in surprise, it turned out to be Jun Ji-hyun and Song Hye Kyo, who have become popular recently.

In order to please this Hollywood bigwig, they are really willing to spend money!
