Chapter 255. Seoul Raiders

In the face of Chen Xuanting's oath, Zou Wenhuai smiled and said: "Ah Ting, it's not me who poured cold water on you, if Thunder Pictures sprints to Hollywood alone to make a lot of money, I believe it, but if you want to piggyback on the entire Hong Kong movie, it will be dangerous." Hong Kong cinema is ostensibly booming, but in fact it has gone downhill and may be even weaker in a few years. At this time, you want to run with Hong Kong movies, and it is still the world giant Hollywood that is catching up, so the chance of winning is really slim! ”

Regarding Zou Wenhuai's worries, Chen Xuanting smiled and said: "Uncle Zou, if you can say such things, it proves that you are still very old-fashioned, the current situation of Hong Kong movies is like a group of people who are drunk and dreaming of death, many filmmakers only care about making money, and as soon as there is a good show, they will follow the trend, as well as piracy, infringement, etc. - I dare to say, but in three years, Hong Kong movies will enter the era of decline, and now, it is just a return to the light before it dies!" ”

Chen Xuanting's words not only stunned Zou Wenhuai, but even Jackie Chan was surprised. They didn't expect Chen Xuanting to say such alarmist words. Hong Kong movies will die, is it possible?!

Zou Wenhuai held back his surprise and said: "Ah Ting, I just said, why are you more pessimistic about Hong Kong movies than me?" ”

Chen Xuanting smiled bitterly: "Because what I said is the truth." He may be the only one who knows what the future of Hong Kong films will look like, the once glorious Oriental Hollywood, and even the poor are unemployed. Not to mention those actors, it's thank God that they can start a play a year. If it weren't for the rise of mainland films and the rescue of Hong Kong films in the form of co-productions, Hong Kong filmmakers might really starve to death on the streets.

"Since you think Hong Kong movies will die, why do you want to pull it together to hit Hollywood?" Zou Wenhuai was puzzled.

"Quite simply, if you want to save a Hong Kong movie that is indulging in a feel-good virtual boom, you have to pull it into the cage of the beast and wrestle!" Chen Xuanting was adamant, "Death will make all illusory glory pale and ridiculous!" ”

Silence. Since Chen Xuanting said this, some have just been silent.

Zou Wenhuai and Jackie Chan neither spoke. Until a minute has passed.

Zou Wenhuai suddenly said: "Ah Ting, I promise you!" For Hong Kong, for Hong Kong films, I am willing to join your alliance! ”

Chen Xuanting, laughed!

The establishment of the Hong Kong Film Alliance is a matter of great importance and cannot be achieved overnight, and recruiting Golden Harvest to join is only an important part of it. According to Chen Xuanting, it is best to finalize this matter in the middle of next year. And now he's set his sights on the map of Asia.

Nowadays, in Asia, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand and other places, Thunder Entertainment has set up its own film companies, but only South Korea, Chen Xuanting has not sent people to develop. It's not that Chen Xuanting doesn't want to occupy this country that will cause the "Korean Wave" in the future, but because there is really no suitable candidate. You must know that South Korea is different from Yuben, South Korea has a sense of entertainment self-protection, such as their movies, and the future Korean political axe will spend a lot of effort to support this cause. In the field of TV dramas, several state-owned TV stations such as KBS are fighting against each other, and it is not an exaggeration to say that the Korean entertainment industry at this time is like the Warring States period in ancient China. In such a grim situation, Chen Xuanting thought that only he might be able to adapt to the battle there. After all, he has the conditions of foresight.

Now that he wants to open up South Korea, Chen Xuanting's first step plan is to gradually encroach on the star-making factory that they will be proud of in the future in the field of TV dramas. So, you have to buy a TV station!

October 25, 1993.

Chen Xuanting convened many high-level executives of the Thunder Group, including Qi Qingsi, Stephen Chow, Ren Dahua, Wang Jing, To Qifeng and so on.

At the meeting, Chen Xuanting didn't say anything to greet, and said bluntly: "I want to buy a TV station, preferably from Korea!" ”

"Poof, you, what did you say?"

Stephen Chow was originally about to take a sip of tea, but he didn't drink it, but squirted it all out, looking at Chen Xuanting in disbelief.

And Ren Dahua, who was sprayed with water by Stephen Chow, and Wang Jing, who was talking and laughing, were no better, their eyes widened, looking at him like a monster.

Nodding, Chen Xuanting said affirmatively, "You heard it right, I am indeed preparing to buy a TV station in South Korea." ”

"Now that our Thunder is basically the leader in Asia, it seems that there is no need to go to South Korea to explore the market, right?" Stephen Chow said.

"Yes, South Korea is very conservative and has always been very resistant to foreign entertainment!" Ren Dahua said.

"Although they like our Hong Kong movies very much, and it is the largest selling area in Hong Kong in the past, but if we want to go to South Korea to seize their territory, they will definitely resist!" Wang Jing also persuaded, "Besides, those Korean sticks don't have much oil and water, so why bother with effort!" ”

…… Seeing that everyone had different opinions, they persuaded themselves to dispel the idea of opening up the barren entertainment land of South Korea. Chen Xuanting can't help but feel funny, if they know that in the next 2000, South Korea's entertainment will develop at an astonishing speed, the speed of Korean TV drama and movie output will soar like a rocket, and almost the entire Chinese young generation will be Kazakh and Han in the future, full of "Azhasi" and "Oba", these stick words, as well as the once glorious Yueben, have been beaten all over the ground by Korean entertainment, and even the entertainment industry has held several anti-Korean wave demonstrations and protests, etc., I don't know who else will think that South Korea is not worth mentioning!

But at this moment, of course Chen Xuanting can't tell them this, there is no evidence, who will believe you to fire guns with your mouth?!

Therefore, Chen Xuanting smiled, stood up, looked at the floor-to-ceiling window from a bird's eye view, pointed to the vast sky outside the window and said: "If a bird has feet, it will find a safe habitat, and if that habitat becomes more and more lush, with abundant water and food, the bird may stay there and never take off again." However, it did not expect that in the future, those barren lands and forests would become more lush and rich due to the changes of the times, and its originally beautiful forests would be cut down by humans and turned into wasteland! ”

"Born in sorrow and died in peace! This is a superficial truth, so the most popular things for our people in ancient times are two kinds, one is to worry about the sky, and the other is to take precautions! ”

"I don't know which option you want to make?" Chen Xuanting turned around and looked at everyone present with blazing eyes.

Stephen Chow and Ren Dahua glanced at each other and were about to speak, but the fat man Wang Jing preemptively said: "We are willing to take precautions!" ”

Chen Xuanting smiled, "Okay, then let's start with South Korea, a barren place for entertainment!" Teach them how to speak Chinese! "Eyes are deep!

Three days later, a plane carrying entertainment tycoon Chan Hyun-ting landed at Incheon Airport in South Korea.

After getting off the plane, Chen Xuanting drove to Walkerhill in Seoul.

Chen Xuanting came to Seoul for the first time. I remember that in his previous life, he watched a movie called "Love Hotel", and it seemed that the scene was in this Seoul hotel, so he chose to stay here.

It's almost November, and the weather in Hong Kong is warm, but Seoul is a little cold. But Chen Xuanting, who came to Seoul this time, didn't feel the cold at all. I don't know if it's because of a happy mood, or Chen Xuanting, who has debuted for nearly three years, is used to all kinds of weather.

"I want to book room 1608 - is that possible?!" When he was at the front desk of Walkerhill, Chen Xuanting said to the front desk lady.

The front desk lady replied, "Please wait a minute, I'll check it for you." After a while, the front desk lady replied, "Sir, I'm sorry, but this room has been booked by a guest chief." ”

"Packed?" Chen Xuanting paused, "Is it a business or an individual?" ”

The front desk lady smiled and shook her head, "I'm sorry, this is a guest**, we can't tell you." ”

Chen Xuanting smiled, "I'm sorry, then please give me the room next door." ”

After settling down in the room, Chen Xuanting thought about calling Miss Kim Hye-ah, the contact person on the Korean side.

This Jin Huiya is a female professional manager hired by Chen Xuanting's Thunder Records in order to open up the Korean market. She is very good at the record industry, and many of the songs of the Four Kings of Hong Kong were released in South Korea through her operation.

This time, Chen Xuanting personally came to South Korea to explore the market, and he thought of her, but because the record company has always been managed by Huang Zhan and Li Ruotong, Chen Xuanting has never seen this Jin Huiya. I just heard that she is very capable and is a rare talent.

The call went through, but no one answered. Chen Xuanting had no choice but to put down the phone again and paced around the room.

After pacing for a while, Chen Xuanting walked out of the door and walked to the door of room 1608 next door, and just as he was about to walk over, a woman happened to come out of it, looking no more than twenty years old, with beautiful cheeks and excellent demeanor. Especially the professional clothes of the female surname on the body, revealing the slender legs, which is staggering.

"Hi there!" Chen Xuanting smiled at her politely. Although I don't know each other, I live next door and am half a neighbor.

The woman looked at him and said nothing.

Chen Xuanting felt that he was too abrupt, so he pointed to the room and said in jerky Korean: "I, live next door." ”

The woman smiled, nodded at him, and said hello in Korean.

Chen Xuanting looked at her and had no choice but to say anything, so he smiled and walked past her. The woman was stunned for a moment and followed him.

When he came to the elevator, Chen Xuanting was about to press the closure, but when he saw that the Korean woman was still behind him, he smiled again and pressed pause. Motioned to wait for her to come up.

The Korean woman looked at him again before getting on the elevator.

For a while, there were only two of them in the entire elevator. The atmosphere was awkward.

Chen Xuanting coughed and wanted to speak, but saw the Korean woman turn her head.

Chen Xuanting had no choice but to hold back his words again. Lowering his head, Chen Xuanting's eyes inadvertently saw the woman's beautiful legs, and his eyes were fixed there. Looks weird.

The elevator was very bright, and the Korean woman happened to see Chen Xuanting's eyes staring at her thighs through the mirror. hurriedly shrank inside, as if he had seen a pervert.

Chen Xuanting was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry, Miss, you misunderstood. Your stockings are torn! ”

Chen Xuanting's Korean is super bad, and there are some Chinese mixed in between the words, but the Korean woman understood, looked at her stockings, and sure enough, it was detached in a part of the back. A pretty face immediately turned red, and he actually said in a foreign language: "Thank you!" ”

Chen Xuanting was surprised and wanted to ask how you could speak Chinese, but saw that the Korean woman took out nail polish from her handbag to repair her stockings.

Chen Xuanting hurriedly turned around and signaled that he would not peek. The Korean woman couldn't help but smile when she saw him being such a gentleman.

In about a minute, the elevator stopped. The Korean woman put her nail polish in her handbag again.

Without waiting for Chen Xuanting to ask, he thanked him again, and then walked out of the elevator door. Looking at her beautiful back, Chen Xuanting couldn't help but smile, a very strange Korean woman.

In this way, Chen Xuanting stayed at the Seoul Hotel.

He didn't take the initiative to call that Kim Hye-ah anymore, because now all his time was spent getting to know the city of Seoul.

Here, no one knows themselves, no paparazzi, no gossip, no annoying jobs, just the freedom and comfort of a foreign tourist. Of course, Chen Xuanting would never really think of himself as a tourist, and in the past few days, he has hardly been idle, running around, absorbing the news that is convenient for him.

The ladies at the front desk of the Seoul Hotel became his free guides and consultants, and if there was anything he didn't understand, Chen Xuanting asked them, and he could learn a lot about Korea from these girls during the conversation. And Chen Xuanting's Korean language is gradually getting better, at least not too badly.

Think about it, my original purpose was to conquer the Korean entertainment industry and teach them to speak Chinese, but now I have to learn Korean first, which is really depressing.

Although Chen Xuanting's Korean is really unsatisfactory, but the speech is very funny, and chatting with him is also a pleasant thing, so those front desk ladies like this somewhat special Chinese very much.

This evening.

Chen Xuanting left the hotel and came to a nearby Western restaurant for dinner. Walkerhill is a large building, with Korean, Western, and Chinese restaurants in several annex buildings. It's just that the dishes made in the Chinese restaurant are too inauthentic. Chen Xuanting ate it once, and then stopped patronizing, it is better to come to the Western restaurant to eat some steak.

At the moment, there are not many people in the whole western restaurant, and under the soft light, there are only a few foreigners and a few guests who look like Koreans are eating happily.

Chen Xuanting found a quiet seat and sat down, and as soon as he ordered a glass of lemonade, he heard a burst of flirtatious laughter from a man next to him. Turning his head, he saw a pig-headed Korean man laughing with a woman dressed in a bewitching dress.

The Korean man was wearing very expensive clothes, his face was full of red, and he looked like he was overnourished.

Chen Xuanting shook his head, he has seen a lot of rich people like this in Hong Kong, and he can't imagine that South Korea is also rich in such people.

The steak in the western restaurant is good, Chen Xuanting has a very good appetite, and when he put down the knife and fork, he suddenly heard a strange "uh-" and then heard the demon woman shouting loudly: "Oba, what's wrong with you, what's wrong with you?!" ”

Looking at it, I saw the pig-headed man who was talking and laughing just now, holding his chest and panting heavily, his face turned blue!

With a bang, the pig-headed man knocked all the knives, forks and plates on the table to the ground, making a noisy sound.

The quiet and elegant atmosphere of the entire western restaurant was broken by this sudden incident.

A few foreign devils muttered something, and the waiter next to him was at a loss. The bewitching girl could only scream loudly, shouting "Oba".

Just when everyone was at a loss, Chen Xuanting stood up, he checked the man, and then said, "Move him to the ground first, please help me." ”

Chen Xuanting and the waiter carried the main man to the ground.

"My Oba was fine just now, talking and laughing, but suddenly she ......," the bewitch said, crying.

Chen Xuanting touched the man's carotid artery with his hand, he couldn't detect the pulse beating, and the man was thirty or forty years old.

"Have you contacted 119?" Chen Xuanting asked as he loosened the man's tie and binding belt. ”

"They should be on their way...... the waiter said nervously. As soon as I saw that something had happened to the guest, I quickly called 119 for help, very quickly. "She's a great waitress at a hotel.

Chen Xuanting opened the patient's mouth with his fingers, and there was nothing in it, "His condition is critical...... It won't last long. Chen Xuanting said.

"What then?" The girl and the waiter were in a hurry.

"Give it a try!" Chen Xuanting quickly took off his uniform coat and threw it aside. The girl and waiter watched in amazement as Chen Xuanting clenched his fists, then raised his hand and slammed it into the patient's chest; After that, Chen Xuanting stood on the patient's side, shook hands and gave the patient an extracardiac massage, and performed cardiopulmonary rejuvenation.

"Are you a doctor or not? Don't mess around! The girl said worriedly. If something goes wrong with my Oba, how can you tell me to explainβ€”"

Chen Xuanting turned a deaf ear to her verbosity, at this time, the patient's life was still important, and he was in no mood to care about other things around him.

Chen Xuanting pressed desperately on the patient's chest until he choked and began to breathe.

"Ah...... You see, he's awake......" the attendant exclaimed, "thank goodness he didn't die." ”

Chen Xuanting stopped and looked at the patient who had begun to wheez, "He should be fine, he needs to rest." Chen Xuanting got up and picked up his clothes and put them on.

Then the pig-headed man woke up, looked at him and said, "Did you save me?" ”

Chen Xuanting smiled: "Even if it's it." ”

"How do you tell me to thank you?"

"Is this necessary?" Chen Xuanting smiled and was about to turn around and leave.

The pig-headed man behind him said loudly: "My name is Lu Yongzhi, and I am the president of Seoul Broadcasting and Television Station in South Korea, if you need anything, just look for me!" ”

Seoul Broadcasting? Television station? President?!

Chen Xuanting hesitated, walked without stopping, and left.
