Chapter 38: Buy a Toy
The first formal son-in-law meeting ended successfully in a friendly atmosphere between the two parties, if there is no accident, the next two sides will enter the substantive stage of marriage discussion, and Cui Zhenlong's grandparents and uncle They also flew back to Busan in the afternoon of the next day, during which Cui Gengyou and his wife tried their best to stay, but they were politely rejected on the grounds of work.
Now that it has been officially made public, Cui Gengjing has also begun to make porridge on the phone at home every day, the feeling of mixing oil in honey even Cui Zhenlong, a faceless and skinless guy, is covered with goosebumps, every time he sees Cui Gengjing holding the phone, he immediately runs back to his bedroom, out of sight.
However, there is another thing that gives Cui Zhenlong the most headache now, that is, the film and TV copyright of "Chrysanthemum Fragrance", and several film companies and TV stations have sent cooperation intentions. And Cui Gengyou is now busy with the affairs of the other two companies, and he didn't pay too much attention to the newly established C.P film and television production company, he simply threw this burden directly to Cui Zhenlong, in his words: His son is born demonic, and letting him be so idle is simply a waste of resources, and waste is the most shameful behavior!
According to Cui Zhenlong's memories of his previous life, after "Chrysanthemum Fragrance" was made into a movie, the box office revenue was okay, but the audience's evaluation after watching the movie was mixed, especially those who had read the original novel, had high expectations for the movie, but the result was not as good as expected.
Choi Jin-ryong is also worried about whether to make it into a movie? Or is it a TV series? … From the bottom of his heart, he believes that if it is made into a TV series, it can better reflect the touching and profound emotional entanglement in the original text, while on the contrary, if it is made into a movie, it will not be able to express more story connotations in just 120 minutes.
And if you make a movie, as long as you follow the original routine, it is definitely impossible to lose money, and the key now is that the manpower and material resources of C.P Film and Television Company have been invested in the film "My Savage Sister" with director Guo Zairong, and it is simply impossible to start shooting two movies at the same time in a row.
In the end, Cui Zhenlong still decided to temporarily hold the movie copyright of "Chrysanthemum Fragrance" in his own hands, and first get the TV version out, and he remembered that the tear-jerking masterpiece that blew the sad style of Korean dramas - "Autumn Fairy Tale" (that is, "Blue Life and Death Love") started filming in 2000, as a novel of the same type, "Chrysanthemum Fragrance" can be made into a TV series one step ahead to seize the market.
The idea has been decided, Cui Zhenlong is not a dragging character, so he gave the basic conditions for the intention of cooperation with the TV station: first, C.P Film and Television Company participates in TV investment and enjoys advertising profit sharing; The second point is to win the overseas distribution rights of the TV version of "Chrysanthemum Fragrance", even if it is to give up part of the income of the country; The third point is that the screenwriter is Park so-hye, and the director must be Yoon Seok-ho.
Speaking of director Yin Xihu, his most famous film and television works include "Autumn Fairy Tale", "Winter Love Song" and other seasonal tetralogy, his works follow that kind of aesthetic style, "Chrysanthemum Fragrance" will definitely bloom in his hands.
Cui Zhenlong threw the prepared plan to Cui Gengyou, and he didn't need to interfere in other things, so naturally the personnel of the film and television company would deal with it, and by the way, he called his mother and told her that the script of "Chrysanthemum Fragrance" could be written, which of course provoked Park Xiuhui to complain fiercely on the phone, and it was just a leisurely day, and she was going to be busy again. Cui Zhenlong hurriedly prevaricated that it was Cui Gengyou's idea, at this time, the creature "Dad" is used to "pit" and "block the gun".
Cui Zhenlong, who had just been free, was caught by his baby sister, Cui Xueli was cute and coquettish, and forced Cui Zhenlong to go shopping, and the two took a car to the bustling business district - Dongdaemun.
Speaking of Dongdaemun's first impression to Koreans and foreign tourists is that things are cheap, clothing, accessories, toys and so on here are mainly wholesale business, so many shopkeepers who want to run their own small shops usually choose to come here to buy, of course, Dongdaemun also does retail business, many young people who love fashion and do not have so much spare money will also choose to come here to Taobao, the price is cheap and beautiful, spend the least money to achieve the best effect, and who doesn't like it?
Cui Xueli took Cui Zhenlong's hand and looked left and right, she didn't come here simply to go shopping today, but with her own careful thoughts, the truth is also very simple, the little girl's playmate took the hottest doll to the kindergarten two days ago, Shirley liked it very much and wanted one, so she moved her brain to Cui Zhenlong's body, she knew that her eldest brother was a "big money", and her pocket money was many times more than her and her other two brothers, this is not the partiality of her parents, the main thing is that the age is there, In addition, Cui Zhenlong has a lot of crooked ideas, and he can always earn a lot of extra income from Cui Gengyou and Cui Gengjing.
And the little girl herself is not without money, and the annual New Year's money received plus the pocket money given by her parents is not a small amount, but she likes to save the money, and she is not very willing to spend it when she really wants to use it.
Cui Xueli stared at a toy store in front of her left, her crescent-like eyes suddenly lit up, and Cui Zhenlong, who was looking around to peek at the beautiful woman, rushed forward, and Cui Zhenlong, who was caught off guard, stumbled under the foot.
"Oppa, I want this, you can buy it for me!" Cui Xueli hugged Cui Zhenlong's arm, raised her head and blinked her eyes and said coquettishly.
Following the little girl's fingers, Cui Zhenlong saw the snow-white doll in the window, with a chubby body, short limbs and eyes that narrowed into a slit, and the most important thing was that it arrogantly raised a middle finger in the direction of Cui Zhenlong...
The name "MashiMaro" may not be known to many people, but when it comes to another Chinese name, it is well known, "** Rabbit" when Cui Zhenlong was in his previous life, South Korea's first animated portrait to enter the international market, not only loved by children, but also given to others as a gift by many adults, and it was not imagined that at this time period, it had also been "born" in this world. Cui Zhenlong, who loves "sister" and is obsessed, of course will not refuse Cui Xueli's little request, and took her little hand and stepped into the store.
"Hello, what do you need?" The clerk saw a customer coming to the door, although it was two children, but her professionalism still made her greet politely.
"Hello! What is the price of this MashiMaro, please? ”
"It depends on the size, the bigger the price, the more expensive it is, these MashiMaro are the latest authentic products, the smallest doll is 7,000 won each, the medium size is 25,000 won each, and the largest is 57,000 won, of course, we can also accept orders here, and they can be made into adult sizes or even larger, but the fee is even more expensive."
Cui Zhenlong listened to the introduction of the clerk and thought about which one to buy, and Cui Xueli, the girl, was attracted by the rows of **rabbits in different postures, this is good, that is not bad... She's completely dazzled, and for children like her, the toy store is heaven.
It seems that Cui Zhenlong still feels that the **rabbit with the toilet plug on his head is the most happy, as for the middle finger? Come on! If the girl asked what this gesture meant, it would really be difficult to explain, if the situation was a little worse, and the child accidentally learned this gesture, it is conceivable that it would be a complete disaster. Teach the family's busyness, Cui Zhenlong is not torn to pieces by his parents, it's strange!
"Please take down the one on the far right and show me," Cui Zhenlong said.
When the clerk took the large ** rabbit to Cui Zhenlong, Cui Xueli on the side laughed so much that her eyes were about to squint, she originally planned to pick a small one for oppa to buy, but she didn't expect him to take the largest one.
"Shirley, do you like this?" Cui Zhenlong asked.
The little girl nodded her head again and again, she was completely smashed by this huge surprise. Seeing that his sister's cousin had already explained it, Cui Zhenlong paid directly and asked the clerk to wrap it in a bag, after all, the doll was white and easy to get dirty.
Walking out of the store, looking at the doll Cui Xueli was holding through the plastic bag, I really felt tired for her, this large **rabbit was almost the same size as this girl, Cui Zhenlong originally planned to hold it for her, but Cui Xueli liked it so much that she was reluctant to let go of it in her hand.
Well, it looks like today's trip to Dongdaemun has come to an end, and one big and one small start to rush back. At this moment, a young man stepped forward and interrupted the two siblings, "Hello, two children, excuse me." ”
Cui Zhenlong looked at the stranger in front of him who stopped the two of them, his eyes flashed with vigilance, many years of taekwondo career, so that his body reflexively blocked in front of his sister, and put on the best angle of attack, as long as this person has some unfavorable actions of the two siblings, Cui Zhenlong doesn't mind using some tricks to knock out the other party in an instant.
The young man also noticed the defensiveness of the boy opposite, and immediately smiled and said: "I'm not a bad person, I'm a scout from the DSP company, and I found that you are very handsome and your sister is also very cute, so I want to ask you if you are interested in being a star?" ”
Hearing that the other party was a talent scout, Cui Zhenlong also secretly breathed a sigh of relief, but he began to narcissise in his heart: "Sure enough, he is still a handsome guy, and he will always attract attention wherever he goes, how many times have he been harassed by talent scouts?" … Alas~~ Too handsome is also a kind of heavenly mistake..."Well, even the author himself has an urge to beat him up.
