Chapter 21 College Entrance Examination
At the premiere ceremony, "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" began to be released simultaneously in European and American countries, and gradually began to be released in Asian countries from the third day, and the number of moviegoers reached 400,000 on the day of its premiere in South Korea, setting a record for the number of moviegoers on the first day in Korean film history, and finally setting a record for the number of local moviegoers in South Korea with more than 15 million moviegoers. Three weeks after its release, it achieved a global box office of nearly $400 million, and by the two weeks of the release of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", the investment had been earned, and the rest was the profits.
The first month of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" is expected to exceed the one billion mark at the box office, according to authoritative predictions. This made Warner Bros. Pictures even more unable to sit still, and in the third week, Mr. Horner found Kim Tae-hyun on behalf of Warners, ready to buy out the script of the Harry Potter series, as long as the price is right, there is no problem for Kim Tae-hyun, and finally the two sides reached an agreement to buy the script and filming of the Harry Potter series for $300 million, as well as the future commercials and DVDs are handed over to Warners for sale and disposal.
It's not that Kim Tae-hyun doesn't want dividends this time, it's just that everyone doesn't know what the box office is at the time of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", so Warner will agree to Kim Tae-hyun's request for the advertising fee of "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" and the DVD dividend request, but now from the box office, it seems that the advertising fee and DVD sales in the future will not be less, so in addition to "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" has been signed, the remaining parts of the Harry Potter series will not let Kim Tae-hyun share dividends, Although the income will be less after no dividends in the future, the price of $300 million given by Warner is not low, and Kim Taehyun still knows that he must be content.
Just 50 days after the movie's release, the major film lines began to go offline, and in the last week of the release, the box office finally surpassed the $1 billion mark, reaching $1.14 billion, and also surpassed the box office published by the famous director Stephen Brown. Spielberg's 1993 Jurassic Park grossed $129 million to number two in the world box office.
And Kim Tae-hyun's worth was pushed to a peak after the media broke out that Warner bought the remaining scripts of the Harry Potter series except for "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone" at a price of 300 million US dollars, Kim Tae-hyun's fame was pushed to a peak, Kim Tae-hyun then revealed that he was going to launch a total of seven books in the Harry Potter series and "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", and the script was divided into eight parts together with "Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone", and the script of the last book was divided into two parts. Kim Tae-hyun also became the world's most expensive writer with an average of $43 million per screenplay.
This surprised many people, because even with the Korean algorithm, Kim Tae-hyun is only 18 years old, and at the age of 18, he is already the world's most valuable writer, and no one knows where Kim Tae-hyun's ceiling will be in the future, but this is not the most surprising, the most surprising thing is that Kim Tae-hyun followed the rules he had set before, and after getting 300 million, he donated 60 million to the foundation named 'K Fund' by Kim Tae-hyun the next day, which is also used for children around the world who can't afford to read.
This time, no one is saying that Kim Tae-hyun is putting on a show, 60 million US dollars is converted into nearly 100 billion won, for this large amount of money in South Korea, a relatively stingy country, no one has donated so much money, Kim Tae-hyun's move is not only in South Korea but also in the world has caused heated discussions, many countries that have received donations in the expression of gratitude to Kim Tae-hyun at the same time to Kim Tae-hyun made a commitment to invest in their own country tax-free.
And in South Korea, after Kim Tae-hyun made such a move, the current president Kim Dae-jung said that he would use his own car to pick up Kim Tae-hyun on the day of the college entrance examination, and he would have dinner with Kim Tae-hyun in the evening.
Time flies quickly, it's almost November, and Kim Tae-hyun is about to go through his second college entrance examination, the only difference is that the last time was in ZG and this time it was in South Korea.
Kim Tae-hyun has known very well about South Korea's college entrance examination for so many years, in Kim Tae-hyun's view, South Korea's college entrance examination is more cruel than ZG's college entrance examination, although South Korea has Seoul National University, the world's top well-known university, but in fact, there are not many universities in South Korea, which has also caused the elimination rate of South Korea's college entrance examination to reach 50 percent, this kind of elimination rate is very terrifying in many countries, and South Korea's college entrance examination has four essays and theories, only one more foreign language is required for language majors, Therefore, the Korean college entrance examination is only one day, which means that for Korean candidates, success or failure will be decided within one day, if you have no academic qualifications in Korea, you will be despised, and it is difficult to find a job, on the contrary, if you come from a prestigious school, you will be very respected.
Of course, Kim Tae-hyun doesn't have to worry about the university he attends, when Kim Tae-hyun was about to take the college entrance examination, there were many universities that came to Kim Tae-hyun with guaranteed places, but they were all rejected by Kim Tae-hyun, because Kim Tae-hyun is very confident in his ability, and after being reborn, both his memory and comprehension have become much better, plus because of his family's expectations, Kim Tae-hyun is also very hard at studying, and it is the same everywhere, and the special recruitment is different from being admitted by himself. Kim Tae-hyun felt that since he had this ability, why should he gossip to others, so he decided to take the college entrance examination and be admitted to the ideal university based on his own strength.
The day before the college entrance examination, my grandmother took Yeon-yeon, a woman in the family, and So-eun, who took leave to go home to cheer for Kim Tae-hyun, to the temple to pray for Kim Tae-hyun, hoping to bless Kim Tae-hyun with the opportunity to be admitted to an ideal university. For Korean parents, on the day of their children's college entrance examination, there must be an adult to accompany their children to take the college entrance examination and wait outside for their children to take the exam, because tomorrow it will be President Kim Dae-jung's special car to pick up Kim Tae-hyun, so it is impossible to add one more person to the car without the permission of the president, but grandpa said that it doesn't matter, let Kim Tae-hyun's father drive him to cheer for Kim Tae-hyun tomorrow. No matter how much Kim Tae-hyun has achieved and how much money he has earned, the most important thing in the old man's opinion is to be admitted to a good university.
In the evening of the same day, President Kim Tae-jung personally called to express condolences to Kim Tae-hyun and said a few words of encouragement, Kim Tae-hyun thought about it and told President Kim Dae-jung about the old man's situation, President Kim Dae-jung said that there was no problem, in the president's words, it was the old man who cultivated such an excellent talent as Kim Tae-hyun for our country, and the old man should enjoy this right, and after saying that, he made an appointment with Kim Tae-hyun to send a driver to pick him up tomorrow, and asked the secretary to contact Kim Tae-hyun tomorrow.
After Kim Tae-hyun told the family, the old man decided that he and Kim Tae-hyun would go tomorrow, and the old man's words at home were the same, so even if Kim Tae-hyun's mother wanted to go with him, he didn't say anything.
After eating, Kim Tae-hyun came to the balcony, and on the balcony, Kim Tae-hyun saw that Kim So-eun was also here, "So-eun is also here?" ”
"OPPA is going to take the college entrance examination tomorrow, I should be very nervous, haven't you gone to rest yet?" Kim So-eun asked with a reluctant smile when she saw Kim Tae-hyun coming in.
Seeing Kim So-eun's somewhat tired face, and it was quiet all day today, not at all like Kim So-eun whom Kim Tae-hyun knew, Kim Tae-hyun touched Kim So-eun's head and said, "Don't you know me yet?" I'm a genius! The college entrance examination is a small thing for me, so much so that you seem to have something on your mind when you see you like this, is there something wrong? If there is anything we say we can't hide in our hearts, if there is anything to tell me, I will help you solve it. ”
Seeing Kim Tae-hyun's stinky fart, Kim So-eun couldn't help but retort, "You are so arrogant, don't fail the exam when the time comes, look at how I laugh at you." “
After thinking about it, Jin Soen said, "Today, another batch of trainees have been eliminated, and several are trainees at the same time as me, some because of failed the assessment, some because of academic reasons, when I saw a few relatives being eliminated, I was thinking how long I could stay in it, and whether I would be suddenly asked to quit by the company one day." Recently, the company has a very powerful trainee, a beautiful girl with good singing skills called Min Xianyi, and she is still young, she is only 14 years old in 89, and I feel a little old when I see her. “
Hearing Kim So-eun say this, Kim Tae-hyun looked at the sky and said, "So-eun, you see how beautiful the light emitted by the stars in the sky is, many stars themselves do not shine, the reason why we see them are luminous, is because they absorb the light of other luminous stars and then reflect it, this is the reason why they are also shining in our opinion, your current efforts are to absorb the light from the luminous stars, and one day you will have the opportunity to show your own light after you have absorbed enough, There will be many, many people cheering for you at that time. As for whether you want to shine your own light in the future and let the world cheer for you, or whether you want to give up and return to ordinary life in the future, it's up to you to decide. “
After saying this, Kim Tae-hyun didn't say anything anymore, just quietly watched Kim So-eun waiting for her own answer.
After a while, I saw Kim So-eun take a deep breath and then said to Kim Tae-hyun, "Oppa, I understand, I won't give up, I'm an invincible beautiful girl in the universe, Kim So-eun, I will let everyone cheer for me in the future." “
Speaking of this, Kim So-eun suddenly smiled and said to Kim Tae-hyun, "Oppa, I heard from my aunt that you are going to buy a house in Seoul, when will you move there?" “
Kim Tae-hyun smiled and said, "I don't know yet, but I'll decide where to buy it when I'm finally admitted." “
Hearing Kim Tae-hyun say this, Kim So-eun didn't say anything more.
The reason why Kim Tae-hyun wants to buy a house in Seoul now is because South Korea's well-known universities are basically in Seoul, and Kim Tae-hyun will spend most of his time in Seoul after entering the entertainment industry in the future, and now the economy is no problem, so Kim Tae-hyun told his family the idea of buying a house in Seoul, and the family agreed, after all, the family also knew that Cheongju was too small for Kim Tae-hyun now.
After seeing that there was nothing wrong with Kim So-eun, Kim Tae-hyun said hello to the elders in the living room and then took a break, after all, the exam will start tomorrow.
The next day, Kim Tae-hyun and his grandfather sat in President Kim Dae-jung's car together, Kim Tae-hyun and his grandfather were sitting in the back row, and sitting in the co-seat was President Kim Dae-jung's secretary, also surnamed Kim, a middle-aged man with glasses, Kim Tae-hyun and his grandfather came up and greeted his grandfather respectfully, and he also talked to Kim Tae-hyun during the period, encouraging Kim Tae-hyun from time to time, and there was no frame of the first secretary of South Korea at all.
After the arrival of the Kim father in the back, he said goodbye to his grandfather and entered the examination room, and when he came to the examination room, Kim Taehyun was still a little nervous, this kind of thing is only once in his life, even if Kim Taehyun is the second time, he will feel nervous.
Soon everyone arrived, and after the invigilator arrived, nothing happened because Kim Tae-hyun was in this examination room, everyone was nervously answering the questions, and the exam was held in the morning after two courses, and there was a break at noon, and the exam was over after the two exams were completed in the afternoon.
After coming out, Kim Tae-hyun saw his parents and grandparents waiting outside the door, it turned out that his mother and grandmother were still very worried about Kim Tae-hyun at home, so in the end, the two of them still rushed to the examination room with Yeon-yeon, of course, the grandfather didn't say anything, because he was more nervous than Kim Tae-hyun himself, Kim Tae-hyun grabbed Kim Tae-hyun's hand and asked Kim Tae-hyun how he was doing in the exam, and when Kim Tae-hyun said that there was no problem, the whole family breathed a sigh of relief.
Everyone also knows that Kim Tae-hyun is going to have dinner with the president, and finally the family goes home first. After the family left, Kim Tae-hyun called Secretary Kim with his mobile phone, and after Secretary Kim promised to send a car to pick up Kim Tae-hyun immediately, Kim Tae-hyun waited in place.
