281 This is considered to be a thousand miles away
Flying back to Asia from the United States, William Wang's first stop was not the peninsula.
It's Thailand.
As a Hollywood film with Asian elements like William Wang, in countries like Singapore, Malaysia and Thailand, there is actually a lot of potential at the box office.
It's all about how you operate.
It is impossible for foreign monks like William Wang to know the rules and regulations of other people's locals, so they all package and sell the copyright directly to that country, and you dub or dub subtitles by yourself, arrange theaters and releases by yourself, and it is your own ability to earn or lose.
Even on the Peninsula, this is how it works: it is CJE who buys the rights on the Peninsula and is responsible for the sale......
As for the people in charge of distribution in these places, William Wang has no interest in acquaintance, and there is no need.
I just arrived at the airport, was greeted by fans who didn't know if they came spontaneously or organized by the distributor, and then were interviewed by several large local film and television-related media, and after that, left.
Thailand for one day, Singapore for one day, Malaysia for one day, Greater China for HK as the representative, and island countries for one day.
I work during the day and sleep at night while I am on a plane.
Busy like a hard-working little bee.
Finally, the little bee returned to the peninsula.
And the person who picked him up was finally not a "representative of the publisher".
"Boss, welcome back."
Min Chang-ho's smile was full of excitement.
William Wang knew why he was so excited.
He's a father.
"How did I plan my trip here?"
"President Li said, you hope to come back this time and participate in a recording of the birth of the family as a guest?" Min Changho didn't answer William Wang's words, but changed the topic.
"It's not hope, it's that if I have to arrange any extra itinerary other than those interviews, it would be better to have a family birth. If I could not arrange it, I would like to go directly to Europe. William yawned. Just in time for Fashion Week in Paris. ”
"Then I won't arrange it. Although I guess I will immediately agree to you to participate in the show as a guest tomorrow when I contact SS TV, I think it seems a bit bad to force you to go as a guest on a temporary basis......"
"Well, where are we going first?"
"When I went to Yeouido, before 9 a.m., I was interviewed by the entertainment programs of several TV stations. This was followed by a joint interview with the two magazines and an exclusive interview with E Magazine Korea. After that, it's lunch time, and there's a press conference at 2:30 p.m. at L Mall in the East End, which lasts until about 5 p.m., after which dinner time ...... Well, Mr. Kim Hyung-seok asked me to ask you, Park Jin-young wants to treat you to a meal, do you want to see him. ”
"Kim Hyung-seok? Park Jin-young looking for him? William Wang was stunned.
"Last week, Park Jin-young returned to China." Min Chang-ho nodded, "I found Kim Hyung-seok's senior to eat." After coming back, Kim Hyung-seok asked me to ask if you had any intention of talking to Park Jin-young alone, and if not, he would find a way to refuse. I didn't ask you when you were in the United States before, but now that you're back, I'll ask......"
"Isn't the relationship between Kim Hyung-seok and Park Jin-young quite stiff?" William Wang understood that Park Zhenying must have wanted to find himself through Li Zhina before, but he was annoyed by Taiji, so he found Kim Hyung-seok.
"No matter how stiff you are, you were originally a master and apprentice!" Min Changho smiled, "How is it, boss, do you want to see him?" ”
"Since it's Kim Hyung-seok's face, I have to sell it anyway." William Wang smiled, "You talk to Kim Hyung-seok about it, let's arrange it tonight." The specific time you watch my trip time processing. ”
"Okay, boss, are you going to sleep a little longer?"
"Well, when you get to the place, you call me, I'll sleep a little longer."
William Wang nodded and glanced at his watch.
It was very early, only half past six in the morning.
……
It was quickly eight o'clock in the evening.
A high-end western restaurant in Itaewon.
William Wang met Park Jin-young.
There were only the two of them, and Kim Hyung-seok only passed the word, and he chose not to come.
Because he knew that Park Zhenying would be very embarrassed to ask Wang William to meet like this.
And that's exactly what happened.
Greetings, polite words.
Then, embarrassment.
William Wang and Park Zhenying, who were sitting on both sides of the table, didn't know what to say.
After all, it was Park Jin-young who spoke first.
Because it was he who was looking for William Wang.
But the content of the conversation made William Wang feel that he would rather Park Zhenying not speak.
Park Jin-young invited William Wang to participate in the production of the album of onderGirls, which returned to the peninsula.
William Wang refused on the grounds of Dreamcatcher.
Park Zhenying firmly invited William Wang to help, and even said that he could sign at the producer's place and only keep William Wang's name.
William Wang said that it is really not a matter of this name.
The topic of conversation between the two sides was very stiff, one party insisted on invitation, and the other side tried to refuse.
Finally, William Wang couldn't help it.
"Brother Zhenying, if I were you, I would give up onderGirls and play the 2PM card in your hand that debuted last year." William Wang said to Park Zhenying very sincerely.
"Give up? Why? Is onderGirls not well-known? ”
"You've been in the U.S. for almost a year, and the country isn't what it was when you left." William Wang shook his head seriously, "onderGirls is far worse now than Girls' Generation. ”
"What are you afraid of, let's just come back again."
"I can't get along in the United States, and I can make a fortune when I return to China......," William Wang shook his head, "Even if I am not from this country, I know that with the character of the people of your country, there will be ghosts if you don't quarrel." ”
“……”
"Listen to my advice, you can't fall twice in one place." William Wang smiled, "Stabilize the company, play the cards that can still be used in your hand, 2PM, and take firm root in China, but it is a failure, and it can't turn the sky." ”
“……”
Park Jin-young did not speak again.
The dinner ended unhappily.
Park Jin-young didn't listen to William Wang's words, he knew.
It's just that William Wang himself doesn't have to persuade him to listen to himself.
Love to hear, I'm already very sincere, you have to stick to your own ideas, up to you.
Moreover, William Wang also has more important things to do......
Coming out of the hotel, William Wang asked Min Changho to send him home, and told him to come and pick him up at eight o'clock tomorrow morning to take him to the company, and then drove this new father away.
And he himself did not go upstairs.
I went down to the parking garage downstairs, drove the car that hadn't moved for a month, came out and walked a short distance, and parked on the side of the road.
After a while, a man came and knocked on the window.
It wasn't cold at half past ten in the evening at the end of August, but the person who knocked on the car window was wearing long sleeves and trousers, a hat and a mask.
"Aren't you hot?"
William Wang opened the car door and turned on the air conditioner in the car a little stronger.
"Isn't that afraid of being discovered!" A familiar voice emerged from the mask.
Mask off, Kim Taeyeon.
Except for her, it is estimated that no one can ask William Wang to go out like this at this point in time for the time being......
"You're more conspicuous like this!" William Wang sighed softly. "You have a tattoo? Where's the tattoo? ”
"Ah, no......"
"Behind the ears? Let me see! William Wang ignored Kim Taeyeon, and directly pulled Kim Taeyeon from the passenger seat to his side, and then carefully searched for it behind her ear.
"Hooligans!" Kim Taeyeon punched William Wang a little annoyed.
And Wang William saw the tattoo behind Kim Tae-yeon's ear.
"What are you tattooing this thing for?" William Wang looked at the thing that Kim Taeyeon tattooed there and was a little speechless.
"Isn't this some of your spell-casting runes?"
"What you carved is a Pisces symbol."
"Ah, dare you say that the pendant you gave me is different from this one?" Kim Taeyeon was a little annoyed.
If he hadn't lost the pendant confiscated by our agent, you would have thought I wanted to tattoo this!' Death hurts, death hurts! Kim Tae-yeon's heart grumbled.
“…… So, are you still thinking about that pendant? ”
William Wang asked a little redundantly.
Kim Taeyeon gave him a blank look and didn't answer.
"If you lose it, you lose it, if you like it, I'll give you another one...... As for this? ”
"Yikes! I tattoo my body, what's the matter, do I need your permission? Kim Taeyeon seemed a little annoyed.
"I don't care if you like it, but when you say it, it has something to do with me...... I don't want to be told what you're hurting yourself. William Wang said it very simply.
"That's what I'm happy to! I like you and I'm happy to do it myself! That's it! Kim Taeyeon seemed to be really angry, "What a romantic thing it was, but you made it look like this......"
"Where's this romance?"
"I've carved you all on me, it's not romantic!"
"You ......"
"What! If you don't carve this symbol, which has a special meaning for both of us, could it be that I really tattooed your name on me? It's okay to be seen that we're both dead! Especially ...... me."
"Whatever you want." William Wang sighed and shook his head.
"Of course it's up to me! This is my body, if I don't just do it, do I just want you? "Kim Taeyeon is clearly angry.
A girl who is angry will not be reasonable.
William Wang understood, so he chose to keep his mouth shut.
There was silence in the car.
“OPPA。”
"Huh?"
"You've had a hard time in the last few days."
"It's nothing, it's just a run, promoting the movie......"
"If it weren't for the sake of meeting me, you wouldn't have gone around Southeast Asia like this, would you?" Kim Taeyeon didn't believe William Wang's words, "I understand." ”
Be quiet.
"If I don't mess with you about this tattoo, will you want to come back to see me?"
“…… I'd like to see you have nothing to do with tattoos. William Wang sighed and shook his head.
"Why is that?"
"That's it...... Missed you. ”
Be quiet.
"Thank you, OPPA, for coming all the way back to see me." Tonight, Kim Taeyeon showed a big smile for the first time.
"It's okay, just look at you, and I'm in a much better mood." William Wang also smiled, "It's strange to say......"
"What's so strange! I'm your girlfriend! Kim Tae-yeon snorted.
William Wang did not answer.
"But I'll have to go back to my dorm soon...... I deceived my teammates under the pretense of coming out to buy something. Kim Taeyeon glanced at the time, her expression a little depressed.
"Hmmm......"
"It's all OPPA's fault!" Kim Taeyeon glanced at William Wang fiercely, "If you don't talk nonsense about tattoos as soon as I get in the car, you may have finished all the business by now!" ”
"What's the matter...... Yikes! Kim Taeyeon, when did I get so fast! It's only been a few minutes! "William Wong heard something inappropriate in Kim Tae-yeon's mind.
"I said I could do it myself!"
“……”
"I'm angry!" Kim Taeyeon reached out and pinched William Wang.
"You ...... so much," William Wang was a little embarrassed.
was pinched this time, quite ...... Ambiguous.
"I'm not worried about you yet!" Kim Taeyeon looked irritable, "When I make movies in Hollywood, I work with international stars and beautiful women, Jessica Alba, Christin Stewart and the like...... If I come back, if I don't like it, I'll be in trouble! ”
“…… We don't have those people in our films. ”
"Who's there?"
"Leonardo DiCaprio ......"
"That's the one who played the Titanic?" Kim Tae-yeon's eyes lit up. "How does it feel to play against him? Is he as handsome as he looks in the movies? ”
William Wang's face sank.
"You like him a lot?"
"Of course!" Kim Taeyeon nodded seriously, "In Titanic, he painted that picture with the heroine...... It's so cute and handsome, I wish he could paint me like that...... Yikes! OPPA! What are you doing...... Hmmm......"
There aren't many earthquakes in places like the peninsula, so if you shake the car, no one thinks that there is an earthquake or something, right?
