Chapter 104: Korean Self-Esteem
According to the memory of the previous life, the box office of Lord of the Rings One has nearly 1 billion, so that this movie alone Zheng Sung-hyun can earn 200 million US dollars, although the money will not arrive at one time, but there is a saying - mine can't run after all.
Han Jiaren pushed open the door and saw Zheng Chengxian lying on the sofa with his legs kicked excitedly, and couldn't help but be a little funny: "As for it?" Harry Potter wasn't so happy to see you."
"Nuna, you're wrong, Harry Potter, I'm glad I just didn't see it! Can you still be happy about making money? Jung Sung-hyun ignored her teasing, sat up and explained to Han Jiaren with a smile.
Han Jiaren cleaned up the messy table and kindly reminded: "Are you too bold, the film industry is very risky, there are too many uncertainties, you invest independently and don't need copyright fees, in case the box office is not ideal, the loss will be too great?" ”
"You have to have confidence in me, Nuna, I'm a genius in South Korea for a hundred years, I don't dare to say anything else, I'm still very confident in novels, movies, music, and other things." Zheng Chengxian, who was in a good mood, couldn't help but brag about himself.
"If only you had a good idea!" Seeing him like this, Han Jiaren replied with a sneer.
Today, Zheng Chengxian's expression also surprised her, such a bold decision is not something that people who have great confidence in themselves can't do.
"This is not a small investment, do you have so much money now?" Han Jiaren couldn't help but ask, she was also curious about how much net worth Zheng Chengxian had now.
"I don't know, wait for me to check" After speaking, Zheng Chengxian took out his phone and dialed the bank to report his personal number.
Novels and movies have been remitted money one after another, and Zheng Chengxian was still thinking about calculating at first, but then he simply didn't care, anyway, it was enough.
After hearing a string of numbers on the sweet female voice on the phone, Zheng Chengxian put down the phone in a daze and looked at Han Jiaren blankly.
"What's wrong?" The silly look made Han Jiaren a little nervous, and asked carefully.
"130 million ......," Zheng Chengxian muttered in his eyes with a dull gaze, "dollars"
Han Jiaren couldn't help but cover her mouth and snort softly: "So much? ”
"yes, so many!" Zheng Chengxian himself didn't believe it, when he gave up calculating property, it was still during the period of "The King's Man", and it was only more than 60 million at that time.
In fact, during this period, "Harry Potter 2" and "The Lord of the Rings" novels have been remitted money one after another, and at the same time, the little boy with eyes is also working hard to make money, which is still less than it was originally set, if he has more assets like today.
In this way, after all kinds of investments and expenses, Zheng Chengxian's assets are now more than 100 million US dollars.
Suddenly, with so much money, he was a little confused, and if he could have a fraction of what he has today, he would not have gone to a dead end.
"In this way, there will be no problem with independent investment, and it will be up to Mr. Peter to discuss with others!" Han Jiaren said with some envy, he has worked hard for so many years, but he is not as good as the short years of the young man in front of him, and people can really be angry compared to others.
"I'll know at night, if he doesn't want me, I'll find someone else!" The waist bag is bulging and the confidence is enough, Zheng Chengxian only feels that he is so high-spirited that no one cares at this time.
Han Jiaren laughed, Zheng Chengxian's nouveau riche appearance was really cola, and he was afraid of breaking his mood when he said a few words, so he had to spoil him perfunctorily: "Yes, yes, you are rich now!" ”
Zheng Chengxian's smug smile and lack of speech are obviously very praised by Han Jiaren.
In the evening, Jung Sung-hyun hosted Peter Jackson at the most prestigious hotel in South Korea, and he had reached an agreement with his partner to agree to Jung Sung-hyun's request, so the atmosphere was quite pleasant.
The consequences of this pleasure are heavy, and New Zealanders can drink even if they are good drinkers, so Jung Sung-hyun was put down again.
The next day, he woke up with a headache and there was no one pouring water in the empty room, Zheng Chengxian couldn't help but feel a little regretful, and he couldn't help but wonder when Baolan would be willing to marry.
But it's just thinking about it, after all, it's too early for Sapphire to debut, and it's a little frustrating to think that there are still several years of single life.
Yesterday's reception still did not escape the revelations of the 'insiders', and Peter Jackson also appeared in the eyes of the media.
is different from the last time "Harry Potter" was filmed, that time it was Zheng Sung-hyun who went abroad to talk to people, and this time it was Hollywood directors who took the initiative to come to the door, which means a lot of difference, so Peter Jackson's arrival still made the media excited.
Koreans are arrogant and known to the world, and all Koreans are working hard to advocate their own country, which can be said to be patriotic, but it is more a reflection of their lack of confidence in their own country.
Therefore, they are extremely eager to be recognized by the world, which is reflected in all aspects, especially in the entertainment industry, RAIN, which is tepid abroad, is touted by them as a world-class superstar, Kwon Boa's unsuccessful success is also said to be skyrocketing, and the achievements of WonderGirls' "NOBODY" make them hype.
In the film and television industry, several attempts to enter the European and American markets have been beaten up, and Peter Jackson's trip to South Korea has made them feel proud.
Constantly the media wanted to interview Peter but were politely refused, and in desperation, the reporter targeted Zheng Chengxian.
After signing an agreement with Peter in the presence of his lawyer, Jung Sung-hyun, who had planned to celebrate, received a call from Yoo Jae-seok.
"Brother Shi, is there something wrong?" Jung Sung-hyun gestured to Peter and walked to the side to answer the phone.
"Chengxian, brother has something to trouble you this time." Liu Zaishi seemed a little embarrassed, and his voice was a little hesitant.
"If you have anything, you can tell me anything, what are you polite to me?"
"Are you working with Peter Jackson on a movie?"
"yes, what's wrong? The news spreads so fast! Zheng Chengxian knew that he couldn't hide it, but he didn't expect it to spread so quickly, and Liu Zaishi, who was busy farting and didn't have time, knew it.
"That's the case, it's the first time that a big Hollywood director has come to our South Korea to seek cooperation, and all TV stations want to grab the news, I have a talk show called "Let's Play" at MBC, and the TV station knows that I am close to you, so I want to ......"
Zheng Chengxian felt a little embarrassed, and after thinking about it, he said: "At Brother Shi's invitation, I have no problem, but I don't know if Peter is willing or not, you know that foreigners and ours don't understand the same language and culture, and it's hard to say whether you can adapt to it." ”
"Well, why don't you ask?" Liu Zaishi said without giving up.
"Okay then, I'll ask, I'll call my brother later!" After speaking, Jung Sung-hyun hung up the phone and walked to Peter.
"Mr. Zheng, since the contract has been signed, I'll go back and prepare, I'm not afraid of your jokes, I can't wait to start filming immediately, I like your script so much!" Peter was happy, what could be happier than being able to do what he loved?
"There is one thing I would like to tell Mr. Peter first, and I hope you don't mind, is that I don't have time to follow up on the shooting, so I will appoint an agent to keep an eye on the progress for me. I will not interfere with your shooting at all, but as my eyes, please understand Mr. Peter. Jung Sung-hyun said.
It's really uneasy to hand over such a large amount of money directly to people and don't ask, and it's common to find someone to keep an eye on it.
Sure enough, Peter didn't care and replied with a smile: "Of course there is no problem, it is your right to pay attention to where your money goes, I have no reason to refuse, but it is better to find someone who is proficient in English, I really don't understand your Korean language!" ”
"Of course!"
"That'...... I'm leaving? Peter asked, uncertain.
"Wait! One more thing. ”
Zheng Chengxian thought for a long time, and finally gritted his teeth and said, "I wonder if Mr. Peter can do me a favor?" ”
"Mr. Zheng, please speak!" Peter seemed very cultivated and kept smiling all the time.
"It's very rare for a famous director like you to come to South Korea to cooperate, and the media want to visit you, I believe you know it!" Zheng Chengxian hesitated for a moment, feeling that this was not good, and there was a threat to him, Peter smiled and motioned to continue.
"I have a friend who hosts a talk show and wants to invite you to participate, but I don't know if it will disturb you!"
"Interviewed?"
"Interviewed! At least that's what he said! Zheng Chengxian didn't know the bottom in his heart, he hadn't watched the show that Liu Zaishi said.
At this time, Han Jiaren explained to Peter after asking what the program was, "Let's Play" is mainly an interview, mixed with some small games and funny, and in general it is a fairly mild show.
After listening to the explanation, Peter thought about it for a while and nodded, "It's my first time in South Korea, and I'm glad to have the opportunity to learn more about the scenery of Korea." ”
Zheng Chengxian was overjoyed and thanked him again and again, he was also very happy to be able to complete Liu Dashen's request, there is no way who told him to love the great god deeply!
