Chapter 146: Joys and Sorrows
The year 2oo1 is here, and it's a new year!
On January 8, the Korean version of "The Da Vinci Code" was officially released in South Korea, and at the same time, Imperial Publishing also announced that they have had the book translated into more than 40 languages, and in mid-January, "The Da Vinci Code" will be republished in more than 80 countries around the world6.
This is undoubtedly surprising news, because in just over two months, the small Imperial Publishing Company has completed the translation of forty languages, which is too fast.
Of course, Mr. Lee Moon-hee, the general manager of Imperial Publishing, was equally surprised at first, but since Lee Chung-hee said that he had already found someone to translate, Lee Moon-hee did not ask much.
And this, naturally, is done through the guò demon entertainment system, more than forty words, that is, 9 achievement points.
But Lee Chung-hee is now, the sales of "The Da Vinci Code" in the United States have exceeded two million copies, and for this alone, he can get 26.9 million US dollars, which is converted into 269 achievement values, and the North American film copyright income of 1oo million US dollars from the sale of "My Sassy Girlfriend" has just arrived, which is also 1o achievement values.
Secondly, six TV series, including "Delicious and Beautiful Love", "That Woman's Home", "Women's World", "Shangdao", "Four Sisters of the Doctor", and "The Fox and the Marshmallow", have entered the production stage, and he is still a co-producer and screenwriter, with 42 achievement points;
Also, "My Wife is a Big Guy", "Silla Moonlit Night", and "Head Master One" entered the system zuò, that. In addition to co-producing and writing the screenplay, he shamefully served as an assistant director in it, which was prepared by his own company anyway. For the sake of achievement value, he is simply unscrupulous.
Because of this, he received 24 achievement points, and then, plus the three small awards from KBS, the best acting award for actor is 1. That's also 2 achievement points.
In this way, add the original 2o4 achievement points, and calculate it. He now has a full 551 achievement points, and in the future, he will have a number of movies and TV series to shoot. And then. As the income of TV series screenwriters, movie box office income, and the income of "The Da Vinci Code" continues to sell wildly.
Now, he has finally seen the dawn of the future, more than 500 achievement points, and he is a little excited to think about it.
Of course, in addition to the good things, the bad things are still there. This time, follow the call that Ewell gave him. Laura's woman made a more ruthless move, that is, two days ago, on January 6, Columbia Pictures officially responded to the rumors about the role change of "Spider-Man".
"Vincent Lee is undoubtedly a very good young man, he has great acting skills, he can also do kung fu, so he is also blessed with a unique position in action performance, but later, we received feedback from some readers of the Spider-Man comics that the main character of "Spider-Man" is called Peter Parker, and that name is a white man, not an Asian .......
In particular, we don't mean to be racist, it's just that we consider that "Spider-Man" has accompanied us from generation to generation, and he has many loyal fans, although it is a movie, we should also consider the feelings of comic book fans, so after careful consideration, we have made the following decision: we will open a voting link on the official website of "Spider-Man", and at the same time, we will also open a special mailbox for all comic book fans, including followers, to learn about the upcoming filming of "Spider-Man" The actor votes...... Vincent Lee, or Tony Maguire, the final result is up to you to decide ....... ”
This is the new idea that Laura came up with, and there is no doubt that it is very clever, and first, regardless of the final result, "Spider-Man" will be more noticeable; Secondly, even if Lee Chung-hee gets the leading actor, it will reduce the anti-emotion of some people when they hear that they are Asian, which is the most important thing, and it is also the most important point that she can get the approval of the board of directors.
Of course, if it's Tony Maguire, it couldn't be better.
However, this trick will undoubtedly make people think of racism at first, regardless of whether you repeatedly say no.
The Los Angeles Times said, "We're not racist, oh, but Peter Parker is white, white, not black, not Indian, not Asian, just white, isn't that obvious enough, what a bunch of stupid guys, this excuse is so clumsy, what is Columbia Pictures doing?"
What's even more interesting is that Columbia Pictures seems to have been bought by Sony, and their boss seems to be Asian, Japanese, oh, he may hate Koreans, maybe Chinese guys, tsk, it's a wonderful thing, this story may be made into a movie ...... more popular than "Spider-Man". ”
The San Francisco Chronicle also said, "Columbia Pictures, which has a Japanese consortium background, would exclude an Asian as the protagonist of "Spider-Man", which is really the most ironic thing, it seems that the Japanese are really thick-skinned ......." ”
Racism in Hollywood? That's the headline in the Hollywood Chronicle, "Columbia Pictures did something not so glamorous, and while they kept saying it wasn't racist, we could see very clearly what they were doing from that stupid statement."
What's more, they didn't consider the feelings of comic book fans before casting, let alone ask for their opinions, but as soon as they signed a contract with Vincent Lee, they wanted to regret it, and now they use comic book fans as an excuse to prevaricate, which is not only not respectful to comic book fans, but simply a humiliating ...... to comic book fans. ”
Because there was Lee Chung-hee's warm-up in the "Los Angeles Times" and other media in advance, and now as soon as the matter comes out, it will naturally be a lot of sensation, and because he was weak from the beginning, he has also gained more support in the media views after the explosion.
This is especially true in the United States, and even more so in South Korea, not to mention television stations such as KBS and media such as Chosun Ilbo, and even at the regular press conference of the Blue House, the presidential spokesman also specifically responded to this matter. "We've heard about it, but it's not going to be settled yet...... If it is determined that it is discriminatory at all. We'll make representations to the relevant parties! ”
If it weren't for the helplessness, the people at the Blue House really didn't want to pay attention, because last time it was really miserable for Lee Chung-hee, but he was dumb and ate coptis, and he couldn't say it, and he didn't know the specific background. The big guy didn't dare to provoke the little guy who seemed gentle on the surface.
"OPPA, we're going to call on all our fans to help you get your vote!" In the fan club of the savage girlfriend, after hearing the news, there was a surge. One by one, I can't wait to kill them in the United States.
But Shirley thought of a little, "Oppa, you said they didn't want you to act, so would they operate in the dark." This computer technology is not difficult. ”
"Hack their website...... Yes, the Columbia Pictures website was hacked, even Laura's! ”
Ordinary people shouted again, and Lee Chung-hee watched it from the sidelines, and it was not impossible to operate in the dark, but the real decisive factor was in the media, in the end. Whichever side the media wind turns, it will win.
Very simple. The media determines public opinion, and it also reflects the basic public opinion, and that is what Columbia Pictures ultimately looks at. So, he knew exactly what he had to do.
Tomorrow, he will leave for the United States to start his promotional schedule again, although it is about "The Da Vinci Code", but the drunkard does not mean to drink, in order to increase his popularity in the United States.
After all, if he stayed in South Korea, it would undoubtedly put him in a bigger predicament.
On the last day of staying here, he was very busy, interviews and other schedules were postponed, and the work of screenwriter and producer was just a name, except for the role of a deserter on the side of "My Sassy Girlfriend", and he had almost no work as a big star.
However, he is still the boss of a company, and in front of him, he is talking to Park Dongzan about the next arrangement.
"You take these six scripts to talk to KBS and SBS, and MBC will ignore them for the time being," he said while asking Han Meizhu to take the scripts of "Romance", "Glass Slipper", "Miss Mermaid", "Bright Girl's Success", "Savage Age", and "Yellow Handkerchief" to Park Dongzan, "Also, out of the six, we have to make at least one or two zuò ourselves, and then the others will jointly make one or two zuò with them, and the rest will be given to them." ”
Seeing Park Dongzan laughing, he was also happy, "In short, this year, you have to get the TV production company in order, and next year will be the time for us to explode, as for the specific arrangement, you have full control, if you want money, tell Representative Zhang, he will definitely support you!" ”
Park Dongzan finally picked up, "Of course it's good to have money, but I can only say do my best!" looked at him again, picked up a script and looked at it, and joked: "Who knows if these scripts you wrote are good!" ”
Lee Chung-hee smiled, knowing that he was joking, but still nodded affirmatively, "It's all good, even better than the one for MBC," the reason why he said this was to give Park Dongzan more confidence, after all, the output of the script is so fast, so much, it will always make people suspicious.
Sure enough, the smile on Park Dong-zan's face was even bigger, after all, it was the first time to take over such a job, not only the production, but also the management of the company, although he had a good relationship with Lee Chung-hee like an uncle and nephew, but it was precisely because of this that he was under more pressure.
After chatting with Park Dongzan and talking to Ko Zuodong, over there, as the director of the original tube entertainment, it is obviously much easier, and what I want to say is basically what I am doing, and I will wait until a few months to start if I don't do it.
Therefore, I don't talk much, in the end, I talk to Zhang Dongguo, here, there are not too many things, Zhang Dongguo is doing a great job, the top students of Yonsei University are not blowing, as he becomes more and more experienced, his talent finally blooms.
And with the fact that he just gave 20 million US dollars, Zhang Dongguo's waist is as straight as something, that is more than 20 billion won, and now, in the whole of South Korea, there are so many entertainment companies with assets that can be counted on one hand, let alone cash.
"Leaving again?" Son Ye-jin looked at Lee Chung-hee who was going out and pouted slightly, if she knew that Lee Chung-hee would definitely be crazy if he hadn't happened to meet her and said goodbye to her.
Fortunately, she didn't know, so she was just a little unhappy, unhappy to part, after going crazy with him that day, she only met once because of shyness, and she still separated without saying a word.
Now, the second time I see her, Son Ye-jin, who has accumulated more emotions in her heart, looks unhappy, but it is more of the sadness of parting.
"Well, I'll be back in about half a month!" Lee Chung-hee also saw her love, explained, and said: "Also, about the choice of movies, you don't have to worry, just take your time, or just talk about it during the New Year!" ”
"That's too lazy to get sick!" Son Ye-jin pouted, "I'm here to tell you about this, I decided, I'll listen to you, choose the one "If Love Has Heaven's Will," glared at him again, "I listen to you, if the box office is not good or something, you will be responsible for it at that time, and the salary will be at least 200 million ......,"
As she spoke, she laughed herself, but she still counted with her fingers, "You scoundrel still have to take away 30% of my commission, and then you have to pay taxes, eat, buy clothes, etc., in fact, there is not much left, but I still want to travel." But I won't take you to play this time....... ”
Don't take me, Lee Chung-hee slandered in his heart, then pointed at Yoo Zhiying and said, "You have to let Sister Zhiying talk to Representative Zhang about ...... salary!" ”
Before he finished speaking, Son Ye-jin stared at him and snorted, and said coquettishly: "It's strange, I signed a contract with you, you have to help me negotiate the salary, 200 million must not be less, if you want to say it again, I will ask for 300 million......." ”
Yoo Ji-young couldn't help but laugh over there, and quickly turned his head over, Lee Chung-hee rolled his eyes depressedly, looked at Son Ye-jin with a brutal and arrogant look, thinking that 200 million would be 200 million, so he coughed lightly and said to Yoo Ji-young: "Sister Ji-young, you wait a moment and tell Representative Zhang, well, the salary is according to what this girl said!" ”
Then, while Yoo Ji-young nodded with a smile, he glared at Son Ye-jin and said viciously: "It's okay now, but if you don't pass the audition at the audition, then don't blame me!" ”
"Humph!" Son Ye-jin snorted, that smugness, sure enough, it is best to open her mouth with this guy lion, she asked Yoo Ji-young before, and Yoo Ji-young told her that according to her current status, it is between 50 million and 100 million at most.
It's just that as soon as she saw him, she doubled without hesitation, not because of money, it was more like a coquettish gesture, a kind of thinking about whether you value me or not.
Obviously, she was satisfied, and even muttered in her heart, she should have simply said 300 million or 400 million just now, anyway, he is a bully, and he has money, thinking that he has earned tens of billions of dollars by writing a book casually, he is envious and jealous in his heart!
Perhaps, a little bit of pride......! (To be continued!)
