(Thanks to my friend Yu Ping'an for his encouragement)

"I'll go, that's it in South Korea? Seoul is still their capital, and it doesn't look very good, are you sure you can do it here? After coming out of Gimpo International Airport, Liu Yi's complaints did not stop. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. ｂｉｑUｇE。 ｉｎｆｏ

"Hehe, don't worry, you just need to know that this country is amazing. By the way, we're here to make money, don't complain in public. Also, you have to practice your English, too, and you'll mess with my brother in the future, how can you communicate normally if your English level is not enough. Liu Anran patted Liu Yi's shoulder, leaned into his ear and whispered.

I complained just now, and I guess the driver in front of me also heard the general meaning. It's just that because there are Chinese people and a tall American in this car, he doesn't dare to say anything.

Liu Anran also looked at the scenery outside, the current Seoul, that is, the capital of South Korea that had to be changed to Chinese-speaking Seoul later, is really not good now. The impact of the economic crisis is still a part, not as many high-rise buildings as when I came here in later generations.

In fact, even in later generations, Korea was more developed than those major cities, and some areas on the edge of the city were not as good as Lingshi.

"Andy, is he your brother?" George, who couldn't bear the loneliness, asked after glancing at Liu Yi.

"It's not the kind of brother who is related by blood, it's the kind of brother who is a friend, like the kind of relationship I have with you and Owen and Robert Jr." Liu Anran said after thinking for a while.

"Really? That's great, but he doesn't seem to be very happy. George said with a smile.

"Leave him alone, have you decided on the person you're looking for?" Liu Anran asked after waving his hand.

"It's decided, but I'll give him a little vacation first, let him go home and visit, I'll have to figure out why you arranged this way to let you meet." George said with a shrug of his shoulders.

"Let's wait until the hotel." Liu Anran nodded.

It's always bad to speak ill of Koreans in front of Koreans, and this driver is the driver of the Shilla Hotel, so he also has good English.

When he came to the room of the Shilla Hotel, Liu Anran stretched out his hand to George.

George shook his head helplessly, walked over to the luggage in the liquor store and pulled out two large boxes of Cohiba cigars.

"Yes, I didn't smoke anything I brought home, and now I can't do without this cigar." Liu Anran said with satisfaction.

"Andy, can you tell me now why I did that? I always think it's not good to hire an outsider, why don't we train one in the United States and then arrange it here? George also took one and lit it, and asked.

Liu Anran didn't rush to light it, but put the cigar to his nose and sniffed it for a while before saying: "Actually, it's a little compelled to do this, remember what I told you in the car, right?" The country is magical. ”

"On the one hand, they want to bring back some advanced things from outside, and on the other hand, their local protectionism is very serious."

"In fact, even if we open an entertainment company here now, our road is not so easy. Because in their eyes, we are foreign capital, and if there is no brilliant way to open up the market, they will hold a group to resist us. And the reason why we will find a Korean to take care of the industry here is to have a buffer, so that the people here will no longer reject us so much. ”

"You may not usually pay much attention to the news in terms of entertainment, but last year, South Korean filmmakers launched a bald movement to resist the South Korean government's decree to reduce the quota of Korean films after joining the WTO. They succeeded in making every theater in South Korea 148 days full of homegrown films in every screening room. ”

"Think about it, if we get into the entertainment industry in South Korea, will those local entertainment companies be happy? They have a lot of resources in their hands, if there is also a protest, do you think our company can still be opened? ”

"Isn't it? The people here are playing so hard? Liu Yi asked in English that he was not very proficient in.

"Hey, you're good at English, I thought you would know what to do in books." Liu Anran said curiously.

"Die, look down on me so much? It's just that I usually don't talk much, and I'm a little rusty. Liu Yi said angrily.

"If that's the case, I think our company will be in trouble here. No wonder you asked me to register another investment company in the United States, did you use the investment company to control the entertainment company here? George asked after a moment's thought.

"yes, just try to get as much disguise as possible. Koreans attach great importance to this aspect, and we can only do it secretly. And it's relatively simple to let Koreans come forward to deal with it, as long as we take root in this soil, it doesn't matter. Liu Anran nodded and said.

Although Hollywood is also a little xenophobic, as long as you can have something to show for it, they will slowly accept it. However, the xenophobia on the South Korean side is a bit unreasonable, you don't entangle your interests with them, people want to boycott it, and they protest if they want to protest.

"By the way, tell me about the person you recruited." Liu Anran asked again.

His name is Kim Myung-kwon, 32 years old, and he graduated from New York University. Judging from the information given by the headhunting company, the performance is not bad, and he is more interested in hearing that we are going to do the entertainment industry. George said briefly.

"It's okay, try it for a few months first, and then change if it doesn't work." Liu Anran nodded and said.

"Andy, do you think our "Ghost Shadow" box office can really exceed 100 million US dollars?" George asked curiously.

If before the premiere, he always felt that Liu Anran's prediction of the box office was very ridiculous. But now even in his heart, he thinks that after the full release, it will be easy to get a box office of tens of millions. So now he also feels that breaking through the box office of 100 million US dollars does not seem to be an unattainable dream.

"Wait, do you predict that ghost movie will have such a high box office? Doesn't that mean that you have to earn hundreds of millions of yuan at once? Liu Yi on the side was a little uneasy.

Liu Anran was able to drive an Audi A6, he didn't think it was any better, and the movie he shot now has a box office of nearly more than three million US dollars, which he thinks is understandable. But now I hear that this movie can earn hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office, which is an unusual concept.

"It's not so mysterious, and the box office of the movie is still scored. It's nice that I can get about 60% of it. And then you have to invest in more movies, and you have to invest here. These box office profits are simply not enough, and they have to take out loans. Liu Anran shook his head and said.

If I can't grasp the opportunity of these two years, I will be able to mix more than the top and the bottom in the future.
