Chapter 201: Fooling Han Jiaren
"Where are we going to become a virtuous person?"
"Go get something to eat, and then send me home," replied Jung Sung-hyun, who was lying on his back, lazily.
He seemed tired, but Han Jiaren knew that this was not the case.
I scolded the 'slacker' and stepped on the accelerator hard, and the car roared out of the KBS parking lot.
"You haven't explained to me why the price is so low," Han Ga-jin watched the sleepy Jung Sung-hyun from the rearview mirror as he drove.
"Haven't you forgotten about it?" Zheng Chengxian replied lazily: "Nuna, you are too persistent, and it is not a big deal"
"Not a big deal?" Han Jiaren asked loudly, feeling depressed in her heart. Is the thing that anguishes him emotionally just insignificant in his eyes?
"Okay, okay, I'll explain it to you"
Han Jiaren's angry look frightened Zheng Chengxian, and he hurriedly explained. But I couldn't help but slander in my heart: I didn't see you and Yeon Zhengxun getting angry at every turn, are they all pretending to be gentle?
"When I filmed "The King's Man", I invested less than 10 billion, and the box office was more than 800 and I made a net profit of 500. The investment in filming "Speed Scandal" was also about 100 and I earned 300, and the novels Harry Potter, The Lord of the Rings and The Phantom of the Opera brought me even more. But "Boys Over Flowers" brought me only a mere 80 billion"
Zheng Chengxian did not answer the question directly, but talked about his brilliant achievements, which sounded quite a bit of show-off in Han Jiaren's ears, so he asked in confusion:
"What do you mean by that? I know all of that."
"What I want to tell you is that movies and novels make far more money than TV series. If it was only for the purpose of making money, I would not have had to shoot a TV series at all. Ever wondered why I want to make a TV series? ”
"yes, why?" Han Jiaren involuntarily asked along with Zheng Chengxian's words.
Jung Sung-hyun smiled slightly, although he couldn't see her face, he could also think from the dull tone that her expression must be very funny.
"Television has long been popular, and although it has now entered the Internet age, the penetration rate of computers is still not comparable to that of television. After a long day's work, people come home and turn on the TV, and watch TV while eating with their families."
"yes. But what does that have to do with what you're talking about? Han Jiaren asked confusedly.
Zheng Chengxian raised his hand and pressed down to signal that he would not be impatient: "Nuna, don't be in a hurry to listen to me slowly."
"In view of people's lifestyles, television is still the main means of media publicity, so a high-level TV series is undoubtedly a very good way to publicize, which enriches the audience's spare time and can improve the fame of the people involved."
"Make money with novels and movies. Use this money to make some good TV series to make fame, and then the fame can increase the sales of my work and bring more money, which forms a well-functioning cycle."
"It's like you artists, aren't you busy running announcements every day to increase your popularity? With visibility, there will be more job opportunities, and with job opportunities, it will increase visibility again. In this way, an artist will go farther and farther. Forever"
"That's what I'm going to do, but in a different way than you. So as long as you don't lose too much, a little loss doesn't matter."
Zheng Chengxian waved his hand and said nonchalantly.
"And the TV station and the actors have benefited from me, so they are naturally willing to continue to work with me, so that I have earned contacts again, isn't it a good thing to kill two birds with one stone?? And the price of doing this is only a little loss, so it should be spent on advertising," Zheng Chengxian spread his hands and shrugged.
Han Jiaren really didn't expect that Zheng Chengxian's heartless behavior was well thought out, and there were twists and turns behind it, and he didn't know how to evaluate it for a while.
After a pause in incomprehension, he argued: "But as long as you keep having works." Your reputation will naturally increase. There's no conflict between the two."
"It's different!" Jung Sung-hyun turned his head to look out the window and did not continue to explain.
What he said was only superficial reasons, and there were more important real reasons that he could not say, because there was something dishonorable.
Zheng Chengxian is not a boy who scatters wealth, nor is he Song Gongming, who is anxious for justice and righteousness, what he needs is for these people to remember him well and owe him a favor. Of course, even if those people get benefits, they may not be able to help do anything, but as long as Zheng Chengxian can remain silent when he needs it.
Han Jiaren couldn't understand where Zheng Chengxian's 'difference' was, she only knew that there was a reason behind Zheng Chengxian's heartless behavior, and it wasn't really a lack of brains. As for the reason, she didn't have the heart to explore. I know that everyone has secrets that they don't want to tell, not to mention that I haven't talked to him to the point of having nothing to talk about.
"Is this why you invested in Wonderland?"
"Part of it"
Jung Sung-hyun looked out the window and replied:
"I've been thinking since I was a kid, and I've always loved weird things, and I used to fantasize about how wonderful it would be if there really was such a place in the world. When I grew up, the heavy pressure of my studies and life made me forget about these things for a while. Until I got into the hospital."
"During that time, I could only stay in my small room and look out, fantasizing about how wonderful the outside world was. As more and more thoughts piled up, a little boy wearing round-rimmed glasses and a lightning-bolt-shaped scar on his head appeared. Since then, I'm no longer lonely because I have a wonderful world in my head that I can't wait to talk about. So I wrote Harry Potter."
Jung Sung-hyun muttered to himself as if in a dream, this experience was indeed his own experience, and he couldn't help but want to escape during that lonely and regretful time, and it was at that time that he remembered Hogwarts.
"Later, after the novel was published, it was unexpectedly liked by everyone, and it turned out that so many people liked my story, and I was very happy. At that time, I wanted to present the world in my mind to everyone, not through guò paper, but for people to really see and touch. Later the movie came out, but not enough! I want more."
"To achieve this dream is not something that can be accomplished by one person, it requires a lot of financial resources, and I don't have that much money. Jeju Provincial Governor Won Hee-ryong's mention made me see the opportunity, even though our goals are different, what we want to do is the same, and that's enough! So I said yes right away and couldn't wait to get started."
Speaking of this, Zheng Chengxian looked at Han Jiaren seriously, "This is the fundamental idea of my investment in Fantasy Park, to realize my dream, and to create a haven for those who feel lonely."
Han Jiaren has been listening quietly, she didn't expect that this person who seems to have a qiē is so lonely in his heart, this is simply unimaginable.
And when Zheng Chengxian was talking, his words revealed sadness from time to time, which made Han Jiaren very uncomfortable. While driving, he looked at the white and melancholy face through the rearview mirror uneasily, wanting to say something to comfort him, but he didn't know where to start.
"Chengxian......" Han Jiaren bit her lip and called, her beautiful eyes full of worry.
Zheng Chengxian smiled and said, "It's okay Nuna, it's all in the past."
"Well, now you have a career, a friend, and a girlfriend" Han Jiaren comforted softly: "We will all be with you, and you won't feel lonely anymore"
"Thank you Nuna, I know!"
Zheng Chengxian smiled slightly, thinking to himself.
This girl is so foolish! (To be continued.) )
