Chapter 151: Follow-up to the DU Covenant (2)

Nam Seung-hyun doesn't know anything about C-Loong, or Choi Jin-ryong himself, and this is not a person who can play cards according to common sense, but one thing is for sure, Choi Jin-ryong likes to plan and then act, and he can't be lightly defeated without a certain certainty. After writing the novel "Tai Chi Flag Flying", he immediately began to write the script of the movie of the same name, in his plan, the novel and the movie are complementary to each other, and the combined publicity effect of the two is definitely greater than the sum of the two.

What's more, the names of Kang Di-gyu, Jang Dong-jian, Won Bin and several others, coupled with the unprecedented huge investment of 14 billion won in the history of Korean local films, the chemical reaction produced by these elements together is unprecedented, and it is difficult not to cause a sensation in South Korea, which together with the novel of the same name "Tai Chi Flag Flying" sold more than 350,000 copies in the first month.

When this figure was first announced to the media by the "Xiuhui" publishing house, not only in the literary world, but also all the people who were waiting to see the show were in an uproar. Especially those so-called bricks who boldly predicted that C-Loong would lose, they are even more ashamed to hit the wall with their faces... The words were slapped in the face by "Papapa" in less than a month, can the hell still play happily together?

However, Cui Zhenlong doesn't care what these people think, he is more concerned about the overall sales of the novel itself, judging from the statistics that are available so far, the basic purchase of this novel in physical stores is mainly male readers, and the proportion of female readers is quite low, not even one-twentieth of the overall sales. There's no way around it, who calls this novel a war theme? It is inherently distinctively positioned for the target readership.

Cui Zhenlong had anticipated this before the plan, but he didn't mind using other unconventional means to add another fire, break through gender restrictions, and let more people, especially those women, willingly go into bookstores to buy his novels...

"All the female characters in 'Tai Chi' have not yet been finalized"

"According to reliable sources, the heroine of "Tai Chi" may be selected through the national selection method?!"

When director Kang Digui "inadvertently" confirmed the accuracy of the above two messages in an interview with TV media, the entire Korean entertainment industry, no! It should be said that the whole of Korea is boiling.

There has never been a movie that will take this way to cast before the start of filming, this event in addition to age restrictions, no matter what kind of identity or occupation, as long as women who are interested in acting can try, this is completely to put the threshold of entering the entertainment industry in a very low position, and as long as people with some brains can see that this movie has the potential to be very popular, which is absolutely irresistible for women who dream of becoming famous overnight.

And Cui Zhenlong, in order not to be honest, saved the registration fee with a big stroke of the pen. All the expenses were borne by the lead C.P.C. company, under such a multiple publicity offensive, those women with star dreams became more and more crazy, and the number of participants at each registration point in South Korea showed a leapfrog increasing trend, in just one week, the total number of applicants easily exceeded 50,000, which made the entire planning team of C.P.C. unexpected, and quickly shortened the original one-month registration time limit to two weeks.

Speaking of which, it is also a trouble to have too many applicants, after all, this national selection is more for the promotion of novels and movies. If the battle is too big and the number of participants is too large, the more time it will take, Jiang Digui is still waiting for the heroine to be in place and can start the film as soon as possible, if it drags on for too long, it will affect the normal shooting of the movie.

However, those who failed to register could ignore these and spontaneously gathered at the door of C.P.C. to lodge a solemn protest, demanding that the organizers extend the registration time as originally planned.

And the initiator of this qiē, Cui Zhenlong, is hiding in the corner at the moment and stealing fun, he has just gotten inside information from the "Xiuhui" publishing house, in the past week, the sales of novels have doubled compared to the same period last month, and if this trend continues, the total sales in the second month will increase by at least 70% compared to the previous month.

However, this is also understandable, these women who signed up for the selection activities, in order to familiarize themselves with the movies that will "participate", if they can understand the plot in advance, it will have an immeasurable role in the next selection, then the best way is of course to buy a novel of "Tai Chi Flag Flying" and read it at home first, after all, the script is born from the original novel, and you can always find out the basic settings and other information of the characters from it.

Of course, in addition to these, what surprised Cui Zhenlong even more was that SBS TV had privately contacted C.P.C. in advance, saying that the two sides could cooperate in this film role selection event to produce a short-term talent show and move it to the TV screen. Cui Zhenlong nodded and agreed without thinking about it, if he didn't grasp this opportunity to make friends with SBS TV now, it would really be a mistake in his brain, and he could make a fortune from it.

……

"Zhenlong, there was news over there just now, and it's roughly the same as what you guessed, they are already planning to appeal to the court, accusing C-Loong of violating the relevant laws on gambling prohibition" The call was made by Choi Gengyou, and his tone was unusually serious.

"Cut~~ I know that they will play tricks" Cui Zhenlong's face was full of disdain, he knew that those guys would not be caught obediently, "Abba, let that President Jin keep an eye on the other three, it is estimated that there will be other actions behind their backs." ”

Who is President Kim in Cui Zhenlong's mouth? That's right! He is the "President Kim" of the "Seoul Entertainment Daily", long before Cui Zhenlong issued the "war letter", he secretly got through the relationship of Cui Gengyou and forcibly acquired the "Seoul Entertainment Daily", although the cost was greater, but driven by a series of interests, the president of Kim Changshu still agreed to be an "undercover agent" very undisciplinedly, so every move of those newspapers was basically under the supervision of Cui Zhenlong, just like a monkey, no matter how powerful he was, There is no way to turn out the palm of the Buddha's hand, and all the tricks have been seen through!

"Do I need to send in a team of lawyers to take over this matter? We can completely control the scope of influence of this matter to the minimum. ”

Cui Gengyou was worried that things would get out of control, but Cui Zhenlong didn't think so, "Why do you want to control it?" They're helping promote my novel, and I'm thankful that it's too late! … And Abba, you forgot that when the two sides signed the agreement, they invited someone from the state notary office to be present. Hmph~~ Now that they think of filing a lawsuit with the court, what do you think the judge will decide? The notary office is a department that represents the credibility of the state, and if even the agreement under their supervision is invalidated, then it will be a very severe blow to the image of the government. ”

Cui Zhenlong, who hung up the phone, sat on the sofa and muttered to himself: "As the so-called three are missing one, you should go towards the road I reserved for you, right?!" Otherwise, this game will be too boring~~" Cui Zhenlong's mouth showed a strange smile at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes exuded the kind of persistent and cold light like a hungry wolf chasing its prey.
