Chapter 21 Project Initiation (2)
"Hello viewers in front of the TV, here we at SBS TV Station are now urgently inserting a piece of news: At 9 o'clock this morning, many well-known filmmakers gathered here in Seoul State Hall, Gwanghwamun Gate and other places to protest against the government's opening of foreign film quotas, please see the report sent back by the reporter on the spot......
Choi Jin-ryong stared at a scene on TV that he had heard about in his previous life, and it was the first famous "bald movement" in South Korea. The cause of the incident was a large-scale demonstration launched by South Korean filmmakers to protest South Korea's accession to the WTO and the opening of foreign film quotas, and many male filmmakers even shaved their heads, because shaving their heads is a very strong form of protest in South Korea, and almost all Korean filmmakers participated in this protest en masse, which caused great pressure on the South Korean government, and finally decided to continue the policy that every screening room in every movie theater in South Korea must show domestic films for 148 days a year.
Choi Jin-ryong secretly regretted that he had missed the opportunity, if the film version of "I Am a Sassy Girlfriend" had started filming now, he would instigate Park so-hye to participate in this event as a film screenwriter, using her huge popularity to expand the influence of the whole incident, and in the end, whether the protest was successful or not, Park so-hui could be recognized by more filmmakers and quickly gain a foothold in the entire film and television industry.
But then I thought about it, no matter how influential Park Xiuhui is now, she is just a cutting-edge writer who has just come out, with insufficient qualifications and insufficient background, so there is no need to mix in everything, and now this sensational "bald head movement" has completely diverted the public's attention and cooled down the still hot "barbaric storm", after all, if the fire is too hot, the dishes will be scorched!
The follow-up of the "skinhead movement" incident is the same as Choi Jin-ryong's previous life, which ended with the South Korean government finally compromised, and all the Korean filmmakers involved in the incident celebrated with the crown, but they would not have imagined that six years later, when faced with the same situation again, the ending would be completely different.
Of course, this is a later story, so I won't mention it for the time being. So what is our Cui Zhenlong doing? Well, he will face another life choice, to take his first important exam after being reborn, the primary school leaving exam, in fact, this exam is as difficult as play, it is not difficult at all. He's just struggling with the question of where to go to junior high school.
According to the current situation, Choi Gengyou and his wife may spend more time in Seoul in the future, and now they go back to Busan every week to visit their parents and children, and they do not bring their four children to Seoul mainly because they are both very busy now and have no time to take care of them, of course, Choi Jin-ryong is an exception, he doesn't need adults to worry about it at all, and he can take good care of himself.
In the end, after much deliberation, Choi Jin-ryong decided to stay in Busan, after all, he is still young now, even if he goes to Seoul to attend junior high school, the intense study will consume a lot of his time, and Choi Kyung-woo and Park so-hye are unlikely to let him directly participate in the company's affairs, and now he is remotely controlled by the phone like this, which is not bad.
After the graduation exam, it was directly on the summer vacation, taking advantage of the opportunity for Cui Gengyou and his wife to go home to see their children, Cui Zhenlong also put forward the desire to go to Seoul to live for a while, this mention yì just said, the whole family was like an explosion, and the rest of the children were also shouting to go to play, and the scene was a chaos.
In the end, it was good to coax these children, but they were all still pouting, full of unhappiness, Cui Xueli, the girl, also complained to Cui Zhenlong: "OPPA is a bad guy, and I don't take us with me when I go to play." β
The words of the other younger brothers can be ignored, and any opinions will be suppressed by Cui Zhenlong, Cui Shirley is different, this sister is a baby bump in his heart, and he is reluctant to suffer any grievances, so he immediately explained: "Shirley, oppa is not to play, oppa has important things to do." β
"Hmph, oppa liar! Ignore you! The little girl turned around and gave Cui Zhenlong a back of the head.
"Oops, Wuli Shirley doesn't believe in her OPPA anymore, and originally wanted to bring her a gift, but since she ignores the OPPA, then I can only bring a few of them to Zhenzhe."
Hearing that there was a gift, Cui Xueli's eyes immediately became bright, "Really? oppa, bring me a gift? β
"Huh?? Didn't you ignore me? β
"How could I have said that, oppa is the best, Shirley likes oppa the most, you must bring a gift to Shirley" In front of the gift, this child is also full of temperament, and I can only say that Cui Zhenlong's product is really harmful.
β¦β¦
Gangnam area is an administrative district of Seoul, South Korea, located south of the Han River, because it is an important commercial area in Seoul, so the housing price is expensive, most of the rich and socialites in South Korea also live here, many ordinary Koreans dream of having their own house in the Gangnam area, even if they have entered the upper class, even the "Gangnam" in Uncle Bird's "Gangnam Style" in the later generations also refers to this area, which shows its status in the hearts of all Koreans.
Choi Jin-ryong followed his parents to his home in Gangnam, which is located in the Apgujeong area, and is less than a 20-minute walk from Rodeo Street, home to Korea's famous brand store pΓΉ.
Cui Zhenlong felt very satisfied after visiting the whole house, 60 pyeong's four bedrooms, two living rooms, one bathroom and one kitchen, spending 800 million won to buy such a finely decorated house is simply too cheap, if it were not for the impact of the financial crisis, some people sold their fixed assets in order to quickly cash out, even if the price of 1 billion may not be able to buy.
"Oh Mom, where is my aunt going?" Cui Zhenlong has a strong sense of vigilance against the female paper in the family, and he will be taken to the ditch if he is not careful.
"Hehe, your aunt is a busy person now, except for seeing her in the morning and evening, the rest of the time is working in the publishing house, listen to your father, although the entire publishing house is on the right track, but there are still a lot of things to deal with, your father is a layman in the publishing business, and it all depends on your aunt to support the overall situation."
Cui Zhenlong also nodded in agreement, and continued to ask: "Then Mom, how are your new novels and scripts written?" β
"Well~~ The first draft of the novel can be completed in half a month at most, mainly because I learned screenwriting and creation some time ago and delayed the creation of the novel, and the script was written partially, and it is still a little difficult for me now." Park Xiuhui touched her son's little head, this child is too precocious to look at him with the eyes of a child.
Cui Zhenlong thought about it, took out a few pieces of paper from his small schoolbag, took them to Park Xiuhui, and said: "This is another story I thought, it is the second part of "Chrysanthemum Fragrance", which belongs to the same type of novel theme, but it has nothing to do with the story of the first part. β
Park Xiuhui took the pieces of paper and was about to read the contents carefully, but was stopped by Cui Zhenlong: "Oh Mom, you put it away first and don't look at it, I'm afraid you will cry again." And now the first part of "Chrysanthemum Fragrance" has not been completed, and if you look at this story outline now, it will interfere with your normal writing thoughts. Thinking that this was also true, Park so-hye resisted the urge to look through them, got up and locked them in the desk drawer.
At this moment, Cui Gengyou walked into the house with a bunch of materials in his hand and put them on the coffee table, and then sat on the sofa as if he had collapsed.
"Abba, what are these?" Cui Zhenlong unceremoniously began to look through these materials.
"Hey, it's not your stinky boy's movie plan, these are all materials for applying for directors and actors, it's really killing me." Cui Gengyou complained while picking up the teapot, poured a glass of water, and drank it.
Cui Zhenlong lowered his head and flipped through the information, and said, "Then Abba, how is the cooperation with Xiangjiang Company?" What is the total investment in the movie? β
"In terms of investment, our family and Xiangjiang each contributed 1 billion won, a total of 2 billion, and Xiangjiang basically agreed to our request, but they wanted to install a producer in the crew, and the remaining two accounted for 5% of the income except for taxes, distribution, theaters and other expenses."
Choi Jin-ryong carefully considered the gains and losses, and then said: "Abba, our family will invest another 1 billion won, but it must be clear that the money is used for publicity, we suffer a loss, and the distribution of the proceeds will remain the same, but it is required to bring Oh Ma's novel to unfold it together during the publicity process." β
"That's no problem, Yaxi, but it's really unpleasant to let the other party take such a big advantage like this!" Choi Gengyou leaned back on the sofa again and sighed.
"This is not necessarily, if Oh Ma's novel can be published in places like China and Japan, the final income will far exceed our expectations, and these losses are nothing. By the way, how is the translation of the novel going? β
"It's almost over, just wait for the final review and proofreading work" Cui Gengyou saw his wife walk out gracefully, and said bitterly: "Wife, have you seen it, now this stinky boy is completely using me as a hard worker, and one idea a day doesn't let me have a good rest." β
