Chapter 332: Hou Gong
No one can succeed casually. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
South Korea is a country that pays great attention to seniority and seniority.
Jin Chenghao has been in the company for many years, and it is true that he has developed qualifications, but to be promoted to section chief, qualifications are only the basic conditions, and it is more of his keen professional sense of superiority.
For example, Mai Xiaoyu was invited to the high-end five-star Hyatt Regency Hotel by a few Japanese in suits and leather shoes, driving a luxurious Lexus, and Jin Chenghao realized for the first time that there was something going on!
It doesn't matter if he doesn't know Japanese, he found his nephew who had studied in Japan, and bought the waiter in the restaurant, and finally found out the origin and purpose of the Japanese who treated Mai Xiaoyu warmly.
It's not easy!
Koreans are not interested in the Japanese, but those Japanese are from the famous Shuei Club in Japan and the famous old animation production company Clown Club in Japan, which cannot but shock Kim Sung-ho.
What's more, they're talking about anime adaptation rights for Naruto and Boys Over Flowers!
Under the operation of Shueisha and Feiyang Publishing House, these two manga have sold well in South Korea and have attracted a large number of Korean manga fans. At the beginning, when Chinese and Japanese comic fans debated whether Maizi was Chinese or Japanese, Korean comic fans also jumped out and claimed that Maizi was Korean.
Among them, "Boys Over Flowers" has a good plot and many fans, and many companies are interested in buying film and television copyrights and adapting them into TV series. Not only Huaxia's film and television companies are interested, but also IHQ Imaging Division.
Due to national border factors, and the positioning of the Chinese entertainment industry in the eyes of the Korean entertainment industry is only the word "making money", they do not know the relationship between Mai Xiaoyu and Maizi, and at the end of last year, they specifically contacted Feiyang Publishing House, hoping to buy the film and television adaptation rights of "Flower Man".
Yang Lin was not excited to inform Mai Xiaoyu, but Mai Xiaoyu poured a basin of cold water - not for sale!
After Feiyang Publishing House refused, IHQ Image Division simply sent Maizi a private message directly through Weibo, but Maizi never replied.
Later, I learned from my Chinese counterparts that Maizi had never considered selling the copyright of "Flower Man".
At that time, they also believed that the Chinese people lacked economic acumen and did not know how to make money with golden eggs.
Now, it seems, there are only two reasons.
Either the price is not satisfied, or you are not looking for the right person!
Since Mai Xiaoyu can represent Maizi and discuss the anime adaptation of "Naruto" and "Flower Man" with the Clown Society, can the film and television adaptation also be discussed?
Kim Sung-ho immediately reported the news he had inquired to the deputy minister.
After repeated inquiries by the deputy minister, he reported to the minister......
Actually, the previous cooperation between IHQ and Meng Ren was quite pleasant.
"My Sassy Girlfriend" won multiple awards in one fell swoop, Jun Ji-hyun and Cha Tae-hyun, and "Old Boy" was slightly inferior at the box office, but with its profound description of life, ethics, love and psychology, as well as the efforts of directors and actors, it is not only expected to hit major awards in Korea, but also is expected to hit international awards.
International influence!
This is something that Koreans value very much, so the starring Huang Bo is a Chinese, and after the release of "Old Boy", the Korean mainstream media treated this movie more than depreciators.
It is precisely because of this that after receiving Mai Xiaoyu's request, they will help operate, so that Huang Bo was nominated for Best Actor at the Dazhong Awards.
IHQ thought that a nomination would not have much impact, but it would not win the award anyway, and it was very likely to be at the bottom. I never thought that the public reaction would be so fierce, and it took them a lot of effort to barely cope with it.
In this case, how could they hold a fan meeting specifically for Huang Bo?
Treat the cute people and their party, and also adopt a cold attitude, so as not to be realistic.
However, the news that Jin Chenghao fed back forced the IHQ Image Division to change its attitude.
The hustle and bustle of the world is for profit, and the hustle and bustle of the world is for profit.
IHQ Imaging Division has long evaluated the value of the IP "Flower Man". The possible benefits of the adaptation of "Flower Man" far outweigh the troubles caused by the nomination of Huang Bo, so why bother with that unpleasantness that affects the "friendship" between the two companies?
So, when Mai Xiaoyu returned to the hotel, Jin Chenghao came to visit at about eleven o'clock in the evening with gifts.
Ya is here to fight the front station.
This time, his attitude changed 180 degrees, showing the traditional politeness of the Republic of Korea and respecting Mai Xiaoyu.
euphemistically explained his last resort, recently because of the nomination of Huang Bo, he was in a hurry, and then begged Mai Xiaoyu for his understanding.
Understanding?
Okay!
But shouldn't you show the sincerity to make up for the mistakes you've made?
What does it mean to carry a fruit basket?
Do you really think that we Chinese people are so poor that we can't even eat apples?
The next day, IHQ showed full sincerity.
Jin Chenghao, as a representative, specially held a luncheon to entertain the cute people and his party, and in the stunned eyes of the cute people and his party, he took over their accommodation expenses. In the afternoon, Kim Sung-ho's superior, a deputy director of IHQ's imaging division, came to visit Mai Xiaoyu, accompanied by the popular Korean actress Jun Ji-hyun.
Mai Xiaoyu doesn't really want to turn his face with the other party, the chopsticks brothers are opening the market in South Korea, and they have to use the other party's power.
Now that the other party is "lost", of course he will not be unforgiving, and after a simple politeness, the two sides go straight to the topic.
Mai Xiaoyu's request is very simple, before the Dazhong Award, he held a fan meeting for Huang Bo, and the other party hoped that he would draw the strings and buy the film and television adaptation rights of "Flower Man".
The two seemingly simple conditions, the two sides talked for an afternoon, but they didn't get along!
In the evening, Huang Bo, Deng Chao, Li Xue, and Diao Yi all gathered in Mai Xiaoyu's room and asked the reason for the change in IQ's attitude.
Mai Xiaoyu will not tell them the truth, but just let them prepare according to the plan, strive for this fire in South Korea, and then burn all over the world.
"Malegobi, it's not that I look down on Korean music, if Xiao Yu'er can really write a song that is popular all over the world, why don't you write Chinese songs?"
Diao Yi, an old and angry young man, questioned Mai Xiaoyu speechlessly.
He can't tell the other party that the song in the dream itself is a Korean song, so the ignition point must be in Korea, right?
Li Xue hadn't seen Brother Chopsticks' new song, and said curiously: "Brother Bo, let me listen to it if you two sing it, I haven't heard it yet." ”
It just so happened that Mai Xiaoyu hadn't seen the two of them practicing together, so Huang Bo and Deng Chao prepared for a moment and sang in Mai Xiaoyu's room.
Well, singing and dancing.
"Hahaha......"
Li Xue finally couldn't hold it back, laughed heartily, and leaned back with laughter. She couldn't understand the lyrics, but the dance of the two, as well as the cute expression, made her lie on the bed and laugh non-stop.
The song was not sung, the dance was not finished, the chopsticks brothers couldn't go on, and looked at Mai Xiaoyu with a sad face.
"Boss, is this song really created by Teacher Xiaoyuer?"
"Mr. Mai, is the dance really choreographed by Mr. Ah Zheng?"
"It would be even better with the backing dance. ”
When it was almost early in the morning, Mai Xiaoyu began to catch people.
Drove a few people back to the room, then took a shower, and around one o'clock in the morning, the heavily armed Jun Ji-hyun arrived.
"My shower is broken, come and take a shower here. ”
The reason is very strong, Mai Xiaoyu smiled and didn't speak.
"Laugh at anything, laugh again and you will die. I warn you, don't come in, or you'll ......."
"It's dead, isn't it?"
"You're smart!"
Jun Ji-hyun gave him a disgusting look and turned to walk into the bathroom.
Then, Mai Xiaoyu, who had already taken a bath, took another bath, and it was still a mandarin duck bath......
After two clouds and rains in Wushan, calm returned to the room.
Jun Ji-hyun curled up in Mai Xiaoyu's arms, panting, and Mai Xiaoyu hugged Jun Ji-hyun and enjoyed it, and the two were immersed in the afterglow of the aftermath together.
After a long time, Jun Ji-hyun groaned softly and said deliberately, "You are simply a beast." ”
"And do you like the feeling of a beast?"
"I want to die. Jun Ji-hyun bit Mai Xiaoyu's chest, "Why didn't you tell me when you came to Korea?"
"I'm worried that you're caught in the middle and it's hard to do. ”
"You have a conscience. I heard that because of Huang Bo's nomination for Best Actor, our company has had a headache recently, and there are a lot of troubles......"
Syllable!
Mai Xiaoyu raised his hand and slapped Jun Zhixian's buttocks: "So you are here to lobby, hum!"
With that, he turned his head to the side.
"I'm not!" Jun Jixian turned over and pressed on Mai Xiaoyu, straightening Mai Xiaoyu's head, "The company did look for me, but I didn't agree." ”
"Really?"
"Of course. ”
"That's pretty much it. Stroking Jun Ji-hyun's smooth back, Mai Xiaoyu said, "Tell me about your company's plans." ”
IHQ Image Division just wants to buy the copyright of "Flower Man" and adapt it into a TV series, starring its actors.
Mai Xiaoyu will never agree now, his bottom line is a remake. The first time of "Flower Man" must be cute, and when the cuteness is finished, IHQ can be remade.
Last night, the Clown Club wanted to buy the anime copyright of "Flower Man", but he didn't agree, and only agreed to the Clown Club to shoot the "Hokage" anime.
This is Jiying Club from the connection, the three parties through the Internet, telephone negotiation for a month, the contract Mai Xiaoyu found a special person to study, to the greatest extent to ensure their rights and interests, and then notify the other party to come to South Korea to sign a contract.
He refused the anime copyright of "Flower Man" more tactfully, saying that it was the first time he cooperated with the Clown Society, and after first looking at the effects and influence of the "Naruto" anime, he decided whether to hand it over to the Clown Club to shoot "Flower Man".
Originally, he also wanted to attract the attention of IHQ within a few days through the vigorous publicity of this matter by the Jiying Club and the Clown Club, but he didn't expect Kim Sung-ho to work hard to find out the theme of the three-way meeting last night, eliminating the intermediate link.
This is his bargaining chip, in exchange for Huang Bo's fan meeting.
However, the nomination incident was too hyped in South Korea, and IHQ had to avoid the limelight for the time being, so he could only hold a fan appreciation party for "Old Boy" to avoid Huang Bo being too conspicuous.
Listening to Quan Zhixian's narration, Mai Xiaoyu thought for a while: "If you can find out my bottom line, will it be good for you?"
"Absolutely. For example, a good movie book, a big brand endorsement, a large-scale commercial event, etc., will give priority to me. Or in the future, I will shoot "Flower Man" and let me play the heroine. ”
"Don't come to this set!" Mai Xiaoyu slapped Jun Ji-hyun on the buttocks again, "As soon as you become a popular movie star, will you go to shoot a TV series?" ”
Again, among Korean artists, film actors have the highest status.
Popular movie actors go to make TV series...... That's a step backwards!
With the help of Jun Jixian, two days later, Mai Xiaoyu finally reached an agreement with the IHQ Impact Division.
In the future, after the adaptation and filming of "Flower Man", under the same conditions, IHQ will enjoy the priority remake right. In exchange, the "Old Boy" fan appreciation will remain the same, but the time left for Huang Bo will be greatly increased.
After the two sides reached a consensus, Diao Yi, Huang Bo, Deng Chao, Li Xue and others began to be busy, rehearsing for the performance at the fan appreciation meeting a week later.
Mai Xiaoyu is still the same, after setting up a set to solve the beginning, he doesn't have to worry about the rest of the things.
Occasionally go to the rehearsal site to see the performance of the chopsticks brothers, and occasionally make a phone call back to the company to ask about the current situation. During the day, he either went shopping or went to taekwondo gyms to kick - mainly to find free sparring partners to practice sanda, and he played more than a dozen taekwondo gyms in five days.
Call and send text messages to Liu Tao at night, and the days are quite comfortable.
This afternoon, he was about to go to the taekwondo gym to kick the gym as usual, and when he walked all the way past a manga store, he suddenly saw a large "Naruto" promotional advertisement posted outside the store: "Naruto" is about to be adapted into an anime, please look forward to it.
It seems that "Naruto" is also quite popular in South Korea, I don't know how "Flower Man" is.
Mai Xiaoyu temporarily changed his mind and walked the comic shop.
Pushing the door in, the bookshelves are full of the latest comics, many young people are looking through the bookshelf, and occasionally someone will bring the purchased comics to the cash counter to pay the bill.
Mai Xiaoyu easily found the Korean version of "Naruto", and two teenagers bought the latest single book to pay the money.
Although they are both Maiko's works, "Flower Man" and "Hokage" are not placed together, but in the girl-oriented manga.
Mai Xiaoyu casually picked up "Flower Man" and looked at it twice, wanting to see if Korean elements would be added to the plot after the Korean translation, and inadvertently saw another girl-oriented comic placed next to it - "Full House of Romance".
picked up "Full House of Romance" casually, Mai Xiaoyu frowned slightly, the familiar name made him subconsciously search in his mind, and sure enough, he found a TV series of the same name. Korean TV dramas seem to be quite popular.
Closing his eyes, he was recalling the plot of this TV series, and a crisp "Oba" interrupted his thoughts.
Standing next to her was a pure and lovely little girl, twelve or thirteen years old, who said very politely: "Oba, can you give me the copy of Full House of Romance in your hand? I searched three bookstores to find this one." ”
It's been a few years since Full House came to an end.
When it was serialized, it became the number one best-selling manga in Korea for a time, and it was very popular.
"This comic is good?"
The little girl nodded vigorously, looking at Mai Xiaoyu with her eyes, glancing at the comics in his hand from time to time, for fear that he would buy the last one.
"Is it made into a TV series?"
"Not yet, but if it's made into a TV series, it will definitely be good. ”
"That's ......" Mai Xiaoyu pondered for a moment and handed the comic to the little girl.
"Thank you, Oba!" The little girl was very happy, bowed to Mai Xiaoyu, held the comic book to pay, and left happily.
Mai Xiaoyu is not interested in comics, he is only interested in the author of this book, Yuan Xiulian.
Leaving the comic shop, Mai Xiaoyu dialed Kim Sung-ho's phone.
Meng Ren and IHQ resumed their previous relationship, and Kim Sung-ho was fully responsible for Meng Ren's trip to South Korea, and his attitude towards Mai Xiaoyu was also very respectful.
"Hello, what do you have to say?"
"Chief Kim, there's something for you. I would like to meet the comic artist of your country, Yuan Xiulian......"
