Chapter 179: The Prospect of Jeju Island
The news that Zheng Chengxian was invited by London to go to the United Kingdom spread the next day, and the purpose of this trip to the United Kingdom was also known under the reporter's unremitting inquiry.
This news has made Koreans have mixed feelings, but their own works have been built, used, and made money abroad, which has to make them feel surprised. For a while, many people were dissatisfied with Zheng Chengxian and felt that he admired foreign countries. Zheng Sung-hyun, who got the news, had no choice but to disclose the contract to the media, and the Koreans couldn't cry or laugh.
It turned out that Zheng Chengxian did not have a sense of contract at the beginning, except for the share he deserved, the rest of the brains were sold to Warner, and now it is too late to regret it.
People who learned the truth forgave Jung Sung-hyun, and some people began to ridicule Jung Sung-hyun for being 'legally blind' on the Internet and Twitter, persuading him to have time to read more books. There are also many lawyers who have recommended themselves to be his lawyers.
The small turmoil did not affect Jung Sung-hyun's mood, and he happily went on his trip to England accompanied by Catherine, but he did not know how much change this little thing would bring to South Korea.
The ridicule of the Internet and the media is just a joke, just forget it.
But in other places, there are people who are seriously studying Zheng Chengxian's relevant information.
The man was in his 40s, wearing a black suit and white shirt, a stern light gray tie, and a plain round face that made him look smiling like nothing. He was staring intently at the computer at Zheng Chengxian's message.
"Tuk Tuk"
A knock on the door interrupted the man's reading, and he moved his sore waist to sit upright, crossed his hands on the desk before he spoke, "Come in!" ”
An old man walked in, a silver-gray crumpled suit, slightly long cuffs covering half of his palm, and a white shirt with a little yellowing at the neckline. He has round-rimmed glasses on his face, gray hair, loose skin, and blank eyes.
This outfit makes the old man look like an old farmer working in the field who accidentally picked up a formal suit, which perfectly interprets 'wearing a dragon robe does not look like a prince'.
"Governor, don't you know what you're calling me for?" The old man was a little restrained, and his tone was very humble.
The man known as the governor beckoned him to come forward. The old man walked behind the desk and looked at the computer in front of the man.
"Mayor Kim, do you know this person?" The man asked, pointing to a picture of Jung Sung-hyun on the screen.
"I know, our great Korean writer, his foolish things have been spreading very much in the past two days," Mayor Kim smiled. The wrinkles on the face are like dried chrysanthemums soaked in water, slowly stretching.
"It's a pity, it was a good thing, why didn't we think of it?" The man sighed regretfully and looked at the computer with a face full of regret.
Mayor Kim looked at the man puzzled. I didn't quite understand the meaning of his words.
The man looked up a little deflated.
This Mayor Jin is named Jin Bingli, with an honest and honest personality and can endure hardships but lacks political awareness, these good morals are good at anything, but they are not suitable for being an official. If he hadn't protected himself, he would have been the same as his previous 30 years of political experience, and he didn't know where he was squeezed to.
"Jeju Island relies on tourism to drive the economy, and any good project is very important to us," said the man, pointing to Jung Sung-hyun's photo:
"This writer's work is world-famous, and if it can be put to good use, it will definitely bring a lot of benefits to Jeju, which is a good project."
Kim Byung-ri was thoughtful. Asked not so sure: "Governor, what do you mean ......?" ”
The man sighed, he was too familiar with Jin Bingli, don't look at Jin Bingli's appearance as if he had an understanding, in fact, he was pretending. The old man was a man of affairs, but not a qualified decision-maker.
Although Kim Byung-ri became the mayor of Jeju City because of his connections, he was more often just following orders.
"Jung Sung-hyun is only 24 years old this year, and he has three world-famous novels, including The Lord of the Rings, which I really like, and his novels present you with unimaginable fantasy worlds, if we work with him to develop theme parks or exhibition halls or something. How many book lovers, drama fans and tourists from all over the world will that attract? ”
The man looked at Jin Bingli with a bewildered look in his eyes expectantly, and guided him step by step.
"That's right! It's really a good way" Jin Bingli then understood, and slammed his fist into his palm in surprise, and the dull voice made the corners of the man's eyes jump.
This old man is so cruel to himself!
It's a pity that he sold all the rights related to the "Harry Potter" series. It's very popular all over the world right now! Jin Bingli said with a painful face, and he didn't know if it was for "Harry Potter" or for his own hands.
The man waved his hand in disagreement:
"I read his contract, and it only says three novels. According to Zheng Chengxian himself, there are 7 novels in this set, and there is still a lot to do! ”
Speaking of this, the man's words were full of admiration and joy: "He is still young, who knows how many classic works he can create in the future?" This project is still being done, and in fact I already have some ideas when I talk to you."
"Isn't the investment going to be huge?"
Kim Byung-ri doesn't understand these trendy things. But just thinking about it is a huge investment.
"I don't think it's small, but we in Jeju should afford it. Most importantly, the project is long-lasting. As long as he continues to have new works, there will be new things to present to everyone in our park! Even if he gets old in the future and closes his pen, it will be decades later, and the reputation and fame of the theme park have already begun. Disney didn't do it overnight, and it also relied on their continuous production for decades to get to where it is today."
The more the man thought about it, the more he felt that things were feasible, the excited look on his face became more and more intense, and when he spoke, his body was eager to try, and he seemed to be unable to suppress the excitement in his heart, and wanted to dance with his hands.
He was either the governor of Jeju Province as soon as he entered politics, and he was also sent here to be the emperor of the soil after the defeat of the political struggle like Kim Byung-ri, and it was because of this that he took pity on Kim Byung-ri, who was also excluded.
Over the years as the 'Governor of the Province', he gradually forgot about the intrigues of Seoul, began to like the land under his feet, and very much wanted to build this place better and make the life of the people here more prosperous.
Jeju Island relies on tourism resources to develop, and the slow growth of tourists over the years is all because there are no well-known attractions on Jeju Island, if it is not for the far-fetched museums and the like, I am afraid that there will be fewer tourists! After all, people will not come again after seeing the scenery once, not to mention that the scenery of Jeju Island is not particularly beautiful, incomparable,
Just when he was struggling with how to increase Jeju Island's tourism resources, London's 'Nine and Three-Quarters Platform' gave him a great inspiration. Only something unique can attract people to come back again and again, and they will be willing to pay for it, and a project based on something like literature that can be developed for a long time can be done for a long time.
That's why he couldn't wait to recruit Jin Bingli.
"Governor, did you call me because you planned to choose a site in Jeju City?" Jin Bingli was infected by the man, and he was also a little excited, and he guessed the reason why he called himself in his heart.
The man nodded: "Seogwipo is inconvenient and mountainous, and it is difficult to develop, but it is more convenient in Jeju City." However, I have to wait until I contact Zheng Chengxian to make a decision, after all, my idea is based on the premise of his work, and without his consent, it will be useless."
After speaking, the man stared at the photo, uneasy.
As politicians, they have always been very sensitive to the attitude and tendency of the target, and after some in-depth understanding, he found that Jung Sung-hyun lacked a sense of belonging to South Korea.
This worries men! If you can't make this project because of this, then it's a pity! (To be continued.) )
