Ridiculous, this is the only thought of Lee Tae-ran after listening to Park Ji-sub's words.

Korean movies are usually counted by the number of moviegoers, and so far, there seem to be only two films that have exceeded 10 million moviegoers at the box office. One is "Shibi Island", which cost 10 billion won, and invited three powerful actors to join, plus the famous director Kang Woo Suk to shoot, and a combination of many factors to create a movie that exceeded 10 million people.

The other is last year's "Tai Chi Flag Flying", starring Jang Dongjian and Won Bin, with an investment of more than 13 billion won, and also invited European and American CG production companies to join in to produce special effects. In the end, it only reached a box office record of 11.75 million people.

And the big writer in front of him called Park Ji-sub, or the other party has a little more part-time job! musicians, screenwriters, etc., but a movie with an investment of more than 3 billion actually threatens to say a box office of 12 million...... It's not crazy, because a madman doesn't make such a brainless inference, even though he is dead. It's all a dream, and it's a big dream.

This is Park Ji-sub who doesn't seem to notice Lee Tae-ran's sluggishness, and he doesn't realize how nonsense his words are. Instead, he began to talk eloquently and continued.

"Minister Li, what do you think of this number?" Park Ji-sub's face was relaxed, and the sense of pride in his words was not hidden in the slightest.

The corners of Lee Tae-ran's mouth twitched, if it weren't for Park Ji-sub's status as a million-selling author, he would have wanted to explode people. Neurotic, and the brainless kind. But although I think so in my heart, things still have to be done.

The quality of "The King's Man" is indeed good, although the subject matter is not so novel, but the narrative technique, as well as Lee Joon-gi's performance! In addition, it uses the side to cut in, expressing the helplessness and reasons during the reign of Yanshanjun, which can be said to have created a new perspective on history.

Lee Tae-ran was able to mix with the head of CGV's Seoul cinema branch, so he naturally has his own ability. He put on a smiling face and said half-jokingly: "Ji-sub XI has high ambitions, but you are also a writer, so you may not know much about the theater box office......"

Lee Tae-ran paused when he said this, and saw that Park Ji-sub's expression remained unchanged and there was no displeasure, so he continued: "Ten million people watching the movie is not something that can be done by talking, so if Ji-sub XI doesn't want to be disappointed, it's better to be down-to-earth." ”

"So Minister Li thinks it's impossible?" Park Ji-sub smiled, rubbed his fingers on his knees, and said easily.

"Ji-sub XI, it's not that I don't believe it, but based on experience, it's a dream that your movie is going to reach a box office of 12 million." Li Tairan frowned, and his tone became serious.

Park Ji-sub is still smiling, and a cute baby face is not intimidating or convincing. But Oh Seok-jee, who was sitting next to Park Ji-sub, was already thinking, he had been doing things for Park Ji-sub for almost a year, and the other party's style was steady and steady, and he rarely made unprovoked moves.

And Lee Jun-ik is silently watching Park Ji-sub, what he is pursuing is the release of the movie! As for the number of moviegoers...... As long as it's not too bad. Anyway, the final profits will all belong to Park Ji-sub, and at most the other party will give him some dividends.

"That's it!" Park Ji-sub's thick black eyebrows were twisted into a ball, and he thought for a while with a distressed look, and then asked unwillingly: "But Minister Li, I just think that "The King's Man" can have 12 million viewers, and you say it's not ......."

"Why don't we make a bet?" Park Ji-sub's distressed expression disappeared at once, and he looked at Lee Tae-ran with interest and said.

"Bet?" Lee Tae-ran slowly tapped his fingers on the armrest of the sofa, looked at Park Ji-sub with a serious expression and asked suspiciously, "What does Ji-sub want to bet on?" ”

"Bet on it!" Park Ji-sub said very directly.

Lee Tae-ran was stunned, and in an instant all of Park Ji-sub's actions made sense. He stopped tapping his fingers and said with a smile on his face, "How to bet?" ”

"Since Minister Li doesn't believe that the box office of "The King's Man" can exceed 12 million viewers, then take this as a bet." Park Ji-sub smacked his lips, and said in a slightly immature voice: "If the screenings are held according to the highest standards nationwide, if it can't reach 12 million moviegoers, then I only need 10% of the after-tax box office share." ”

Wu Xijie, who was sitting on the side and listening, shook his body after listening, and almost choked himself to death with a mouthful of saliva. And Lee Jun-ik looked at Park Ji-sub like a ghost, with a shocked face.

However, Lee Tae-ran seemed a little calmer, but the gaze that looked at Park Ji-sub became a little different.

"What if it happens?"

Although he didn't believe it in his heart, Lee Tae-ran was still very curious about what Park Ji-sub had such self-confidence.

"Then the theater chain is divided into 20 percent, and I monopolize 80 percent." Park Ji-sub smiled, his face full of sudgering, as if he had seen 12 million.

Li Tairan couldn't hold back the feeling of ridicule in his heart, he understood. The young writer in front of him seems to be arrogant, thinking that he has sold more than one million books in one book, and his self-confidence has swelled to the point where he is beyond his strength.

A flash of contempt flashed in his eyes, Li Tairan adjusted his expression, pretended to think about it, and then said very 'embarrassed': "Jixie, this share is too outrageous, I have to apply with the above." ”

"Huh? So what to do? I have high expectations for this movie. Park Ji-sub said with a look of loss.

Seeing this, Lee Jun-ik, who seemed to be unable to negotiate, breathed a sigh of relief, although the final box office had nothing to do with him, but if Park Ji-sub couldn't get it back because of his investment, then he would have one less good ally in the future.

As for Oh Seok-jae, he held back the idea of persuading Park Ji-sub in his heart and listened quietly. The thighs trembled slightly, but it exposed his uneasiness.

"I just said it was a bit difficult to apply, but not to the point where I couldn't say yes." Lee Tae-ran's expression changed, and he said with a heroic look: "Since it is the work of director Lee Jun-ik, coupled with the reputation of Ji-sub XI, a million-dollar writer, of course, multiple screenings nationwide are possible, and even we can cooperate with you to do publicity." ”

"As for the division, just do what you said Ji Xie, I, the minister, have a bit of authority! If I can reach 12 million moviegoers, then I will admit defeat, and 80% of the profit share will not be given to you less. Li Tairan said very simply.

Park Ji-sub smiled with relief and looked at Lee Tae-ran with a grateful face. And Lee Jun-ik wants to cover his face, it seems that after this movie, it will be difficult to cooperate with Park Ji-sub, this is the only thought in his heart.

As for Oh Seok-jae, when he saw Park Ji-sub actually have a grateful expression...... His uneasiness vanished in an instant.
