Park Bo-young didn't hear Jung Sung-hyun's words clearly, but when she heard the word 'Bao', she felt like she had been struck by lightning, and her mind was chaotic and she stood there motionless with her hands outstretched.

When Han Jiaren came in, he saw such a picture, glanced at the two of them in surprise, walked over and worked with Park Boying to straighten out Zheng Sung-hyun, and his tired two women were panting.

"I don't know where their house is, I just opened a room in the hotel next to it, let them rest there and wake up first" Han Jiaren snorted heavily, wiped the sweat on his forehead and said to Park Bo-young: "Sung Hyun drank too much, he didn't have a heart, I shouldn't have left you alone, I'm sorry"

Although there was some speculation about the relationship between the two in his heart, as an assistant, Han Jiaren felt the need to say something to avoid misunderstanding.

Park Baoying didn't know whether she was tired or ashamed, her round face was covered with red clouds, and when she heard Han Jiaren's words, she nodded lightly and replied in a low voice: "Ernie, I understand, no need to apologize!" ”

The waiter of the restaurant came in to help, and everyone worked together to pick up the drunk three people and send them to the hotel next to them, and arranged for someone to wash them, and when the two women left the hotel tired, they were tired.

Although Han Jiaren and Park Bo-young had been careful again, the next day there was news that the two accompanied several men in and out of the hotel, but fortunately, Zheng Sung-hyun and their timely refutation of the rumors, coupled with Cha Tae-hyun's strong evidence, suppressed the news that might cause a storm.

This incident taught several people a lesson, and they should be extra careful about their words and deeds.

"Boys Over Flowers" officially started filming after a period of preparation, because it was the first battle for PT Entertainment to become famous, Jung Sung-hyun was very attentive, often stayed on the set to supervise it in real time, and mixed with the crew every day, and lived a busy and fulfilling life.

Just when he was immersed in his work, Peter Jackson was ushered in.

The fat man with big round-framed glasses and a beard in front of him is Peter Jackson, who has a similar experience to the person Zheng Chengxian remembers. The only difference is that the person in front of him has not yet filmed "The Lord of the Rings", and his fame has not yet reached the point where everyone knows about it.

Sitting in Jung Sung-hyun's office, Peter Jackson looked around curiously, he couldn't understand how the world-famous writer's office could be so shabby.

"Mr. Peter," Jung Sung-hyun glanced at Peter Jackson and asked tentatively, "Can I call you that?" ”

He had never understood how Westerners were called.

"Yes," Peter Jackson replied with a sip of coffee in his hand and a glass of relief.

"First of all, thank you for running so far away, it's really that there are too many things on my side to leave, and I ask you to forgive me" Zheng Chengxian fooled this big fat man with an unchanged face.

"Where, where, that's how it should be. Last time, because his wife was sick and couldn't leave, I wanted to invite Mr. Zheng to go to New Zealand, and now that my wife has recovered, I naturally want to come in person, I am your book lover! Peter's face was sincere, with a hint of excitement in his expression.

He has been an obsessed fantasy man since he was a child, and he loves magic and ghosts as well as magnificent scenery. When "Harry Potter" came out, he was fascinated by it, but he always felt a little regretful in his heart.

He was overjoyed by the appearance of "The Lord of the Rings", and when he turned the first page, he couldn't stop reading it in one sitting, like drinking a good Scotch whisky.

At that time, I had the urge to put it on the big screen, and after discussing it with my wife, who is a screenwriter, I finally called Jung Sung-hyun.

"Please bring my greetings to your wife," Jung Sung-hyun said as he imitated the tone of the TV.

"Thank you"

"Let's get down to business, Mr. Peter, and tell me about your proposal." Zheng Chengxian said straight to the point that he really doesn't like this kind of polite entertainment. There is something to say, nothing to retreat!

"Mr. Zheng's style is really not like that of Orientals, I deliberately consulted my colleagues before I came, he said that you Orientals like to have a small talk before talking about things, Mr. Zheng is really different" Peter first complimented and then continued: "You know my intentions, I like this story very much, I want to put it on the screen, so I also hope that Writer Zheng can give me this power"

Being cautiously stared at by such a big fat man made Zheng Chengxian very uncomfortable, and he couldn't help twisting his body a few times to make himself sit more comfortable.

"Mr. Peter, when the boss knew your intentions, he said that there is no problem with the adaptation, and he is also willing to make his work into a movie, but what about the benefits?" Han Jiaren saw that Zheng Chengxian's face was awkward, and she thought that he was soft-skinned and embarrassed to mention the benefits, so she took the initiative to speak.

This way of talking about profit distribution before talking about investment obviously made Peter Jackson a little uncomfortable, and he was stunned for a moment and hurriedly replied: "30% of the box office or pay a fee directly"

The 30% price is a little high, but Peter knows that most authors are asking for copyright fees, after all, it is very risky for the film to save zài, and it is better to ask for a sum of money directly than to bet on the box office.

But what he didn't know was that Jung Sung-hyun had immense confidence in the film's prospects.

“40%！” As soon as Peter's words fell, Zheng Chengxian said categorically: "And if you can't find an investment, I can invest independently." ”

Peter and Han Jiaren were shocked, shocked by Jung Sung-hyun's courage and financial resources.

"Mr. Zheng, this ...... You may not know that a movie has to go through a lot of links from shooting to release, such as production costs, actors' salaries, publicity costs, and theater sharing, etc., etc., these together are not low, and 40% of the box office revenue is really high! Peter's big fat face looked embarrassed.

"Mr. Jackson, the cost, remuneration and publicity expenses you said are all in the investment, and as for the theater share, it is a matter after the movie is released, you can't put these things together," Han Jiaren said.

After speaking, he glanced at Zheng Chengxian meaningfully. She knew that Jung Sung-hyun didn't know much about film and television, and she was worried that he would be fooled by Peter.

"Mr. Peter, although I don't know much about film production, this beautiful lady next to you is a veteran who has been in the industry for many years, and I absolutely believe her words." Zheng Chengxian stretched out his hand and pointed at Han Jiaren, "If you plan to shoot my novel, this is my condition, I even wrote the script, the copyright fee will increase the cost and the income of the investor, do you think the 40% requirement is very high?" ”

Hearing this, Peter Jackson obviously hesitated, these things add up to forty percent, which is really not high, and in case of poor box office results, there is a possibility of losing money.

"I wonder if I can read your script?"

Zheng Chengxian took out the unfinished script and handed it over: "It's almost unfinished, but these are enough for you to understand!" I'll pay for the script, as long as my own part, I don't care what you talk to other people about the rest, if you have the ability to win the remaining sixty percent, I will only congratulate you"

In the previous life, this movie seemed to be produced by New Line Pictures, and most of the profits were earned by them, and there was no reason not to grab it in this life, although the investment of $100 million was a little nervous for me, but it was not completely impossible.

Peter stretched out his hand to take it, and he didn't rush to look at it, but looked at Zheng Chengxian: "Mr. Zheng is full of confidence in his novel."

"Of course, I don't have faith in it, who else does? And the box office of "Harry Potter" has proven this, to put it mildly, "The Lord of the Rings" is bound to make money, and how much money you make depends on Mr. Peter's ability, which is also related to your own interests. Jung Sung-hyun sat opposite Peter with Erlang's legs crossed, his right hand tapping leisurely on his knee, his handsome face full of lightheartedness and no worries.

He knew that Peter would be tempted, from the director's point of view, the risk was the least, the only risk was that the box office was not good and his reputation would be ruined, but Peter Jackson in another time and space could be famous all over the world, how bad could this time and space be?

"Then give me some time to think about it, I still have partners to negotiate!" Peter Jackson stood up with the script and said cautiously.

"No problem, think about it slowly! Please enjoy the light in the evening, and when you come to Korea, you must let me do my landlord's friendship," Jung Sung-hyun stood up and held out his hand to Peter.

Peter, who had a solemn face, held Zheng Chengxian's hand, and took a serious look at the young man in front of him for the first time, he couldn't say that a man could only be regarded as a boy, although the talent in his chest was amazing, but what made people pay more attention to his calmness and self-confidence.

Peter Jackson left under the send-off of Han Jiaren, and the moment the office door closed, Zheng Chengxian couldn't help but clap his hands excitedly: "Get rich!" ”
