The Best Entertainment Era

The financing negotiations between the Pacific Foundation and the three entertainment companies started quickly. Although the specific work was assigned to Scott to lead the negotiation team, Ronan was not idle. Accompanied by Alex, he further investigated the Korean film market. Especially surrounding industries.

For Hollywood, South Korea is already a well-established overseas film market, and there is little room for improvement in the box office share of theaters, but the surrounding markets have not yet been deeply developed.

Ronan went to the sales departments of several large cinemas in Seoul and the chain stores of discs and videotapes. The sales around them were not good. In some DVD stores, many pirated discs were found.

No one can expect that every country has relatively complete and strict copyright protection laws like North America. Compared with most countries and regions, South Korea has done a good job.

After a day, Ronan knew that there was a long way to go to develop the surrounding areas of the Korean market. On the way back to the hotel, Ronan exchanged a lot of opinions with Alex.

After chatting about work, when the car passed by a giant stadium under construction, Ronan asked, Is this the venue for the World Cup next year?

The 2002 World Cup was jointly hosted by South Korea and the island nation.

Alex glanced through the car window and replied, This is the World Cup Stadium, where the opening ceremony will be held next year.

Ronan nodded. It seems that the national team of an indescribable country will also set foot on the World Cup for the first time. This football team...

I remember that the goal of this session is to score one point, score one goal, win a game and so on.

Anyway, in the end there was no bottom line.

That wonderful thing about the Saudi team.

But the national team has since plummeted.

how to say? Reduced to be responsible for making the people of the whole country laugh, and responsible for countless Internet memes.

It is said that during the 2008 Olympic Games, the star who said I am not born strong, I am just born cool, felt that the Eastern fans were very enthusiastic after the Olympic finals, and the whole audience cheered for the Argentine team in Chinese. After the game, a reporter interviewed him Shi praised him for his good Chinese and asked him to try to say Come on, Argentina, but this guy smiled shyly and said softly Xie Yalong, get out of class.

At that time, the big man of the Football Association created the most popular Internet term of the year-the akimbo muscle.

It is said that Phelps swam so fast in that Olympic Games,

The reason why I won so many gold medals is because my hips soaked my feet in the swimming pool.

Alex tentatively asked, Mr. Anderson likes football?

Ronan nodded: I will watch it occasionally. He said casually: I like English football and American football, but unfortunately I don't have much time to watch it.

In fact, it is not bad to buy a team and play a professional sports club. Just like what he said to Mansour at the beginning, building a top professional team is also an excellent publicity for himself and the company.

If the operation is good, the club does not need too much blood transfusion.

In the previous two years, Mansour and Rupert Murdoch had competed for Manchester United, but under the strong intervention of the FA, both ended in failure.

Ronan remembered that Manchester United later became the property of the Glazer family.

It's a pity that there are not enough funds now, otherwise he can also go to play a football game.

See if there is a suitable opportunity in the future.

Alex said at this time: I applied for some tickets through my relationship. Mr. Anderson, if you have time next year, you can come and watch the World Cup.

Ronan smiled: Okay, I will come if I have time.

Alex said: I booked a lot of tickets for the home team...

Ronan was speechless for a moment.

Let’s forget about this Korean team’s game, because it’s too speechless.

Some related memories of the previous life emerged. The South Korean team first hacked Italy, and then defeated Spain in an even darker way, shocking the whole world.

Perhaps at that time only the Koreans themselves fell into the carnival, completely ignoring the abuse and accusations from all over the world.

Anyway, bury your head in the sand, and don't have to look outside.

And Koreans can do it, but they can't let people from other countries say it.

A certain football commentator in the indescribable country said a few very veiled truths in the live broadcast. As a result, the South Korean embassy directly protested. By the next day's rebroadcast, the commentator's comments had been replaced.

Of course, the Koreans are able to do this in East Asia, and the West does not buy it at all. The European media have dubbed the Korean team in the 2002 World Cup the most shameful event in the history of the World Cup.

Anyone who knows a little about football can imagine what role FIFA has played in this.

Professional football has never been a pure land.

Ronan read the news on the Internet, but he did not know whether it was true or false. The then vice president of FIFA and South Korean Chung Mong-joon once said: They asked me if I bribed the referee? If I have such ability, why not?

Why did Germany end South Korea in the semi-finals? The Football Emperor and the then chairman of the German Football Association Beckenbauer stepped forward to put pressure on FIFA. They were the ones that FIFA boss Blatter had to win over if he wanted to be re-elected.

It is said that one hour before the final, the referee group was replaced by a European team led by Swiss referees, and Germany was a European team, which itself did not conform to the default rules of referee selection at that time.

Without the care of the referee...

To win the Hercules Cup, it depends not only on the strength and performance of the team.

Behind the World Cup is also an intricate power arena.

The car came to the hotel and stopped in front of the main entrance. Ronan entered the hotel with his assistant Connie. Just as he entered the hotel lobby, Connie's cell phone rang.

Connie answered the phone, said a few words, covered the receiver, and said to Ronan: President Kim Youngmin is calling.

Ronan took the mobile phone and chatted with Jin Yingmin. Jin Yingmin was very polite and said a few words such as The hospitality is not good, please bear with me, and then said that as the host and partner, they will have a meeting tonight. A few gifts are here, please don't refuse Ronan.

Jin Yingmin didn't say what the specific gift was, and it was impossible for Ronan to be rude to ask.

After hanging up the phone, Ronan said to Connie: The Koreans may send something over, let me know when the time comes.

Connie immediately said, Okay.

Ronan didn't stay in the hall, but went back to the room to rest, and at the same time summed up the experience of the field trip in the past few days.

South Korea's entertainment market is not very large, because of population and other factors, the overall volume is not comparable to that of island countries. Although there is a huge population of the same origin in the north, the two are in a state of sworn enemy. It is impossible for Hollywood movies to cross the 30th latitude north through legitimate channels. The octave line.

The North Side always appears as an absolute villain in Hollywood movies.

In the movie starring Hu Lanlan and Seth Rogen in the previous life, the theme was to directly assassinate the leader over there. It can only be said that Hollywood people dare to shoot anything for commercial interests.

Perhaps one day, Hollywood can also open up the film market in the north.

By the way, I remember that guy Rodman, the bug, seems to have a very strange friendship with a fat guy in the north.

Ronan had dinner in the suite, took a shower, and sat in front of the laptop to process work emails. It was just after eight o'clock in the evening when Connie called and said that something from the Koreans had been delivered.

Connie's voice is a little strange, as if this gift is very special...

Ronan is also quite curious, what kind of dresses can these Koreans give?

There was a knock on the door, Ronan opened the door, and Connie stood in front of the door with a gift.

These are two people, two women who look quite familiar.

A modern car parked in front of the hotel, Lee Hyori glanced at the hotel's signboard and knew that he had arrived at his destination.

Go. The manager sitting in the co-pilot said: This matter will be of great benefit to your future development. Didn't you always want to release a record alone? You did what they asked...

The point was over, but Li Xiaoli was very clear, nodded slightly, and walked into the hotel.

She was still in her first contract period, she was powerless to fight against the brokerage company, and it was impossible to fight against the brokerage company.

Besides, this is not a big deal. Most of the pretty female stars in the circle came here like this.

Li Xiaoli simply cleaned up her mood, found out the makeup mirror, looked at the makeup on her face, and then walked into the elevator.

It is said that this time they will be entertaining big names in the American entertainment industry. If they can make them happy, will there be a chance to hold the concert in the United States in the future?

At that time, free tickets or even free tickets will not matter, as long as the concert can be held, there will be a certain number of audiences, and the value and style will immediately rise to a higher level.

Lee Hyori entered the industry at the age of 18, and she knew very well that the local market is really not that big. There are so many artists vying for such a small piece of cake, the competition is too fierce.

Just like her, after paying so much, she can barely eat enough.

Taking the elevator to the upper floors of the hotel, Li Xiaoli dialed a phone number, saw an ordinary-looking brown-haired woman, and quickly introduced herself in unskilled English: Hello, I am Li Xiaoli, and I am bringing Park to Mr. Anderson. Greetings from Mr. Changji.

Connie took a look at this Korean woman with unusually delicate makeup, and said, Come with me.

The way these Koreans entertain VIPs is really peculiar.

When she was in Los Angeles, she thought that Hollywood was messy enough, but she didn't expect...

This time it came out, it really has grown solidly, the Korean entertainment industry is much more chaotic than Hollywood.

I'm sorry to trouble you. Lee Hyori was very polite.

Connie led her to the door of the presidential suite, knocked lightly on the door, and the door opened from the inside, revealing a young face.

Li Xiaoli was a little surprised. This person was tall, handsome, and easy-going, and he was easy to like at first glance.

Listening to this person and the woman who was obviously an assistant exchange a few words in English quickly, Lee Hyori walked into the presidential suite, moving her steps, unconsciously twisting her waist to make her figure more attractive.

Do you speak English? Ronan asked now.

I can speak. Lee Hyori replied, Not fluent.

While speaking, she walked into the living room of the presidential suite and raised her eyebrows unexpectedly when she saw two figures sitting on the sofa.

In order to please this big man in Hollywood, they are really willing to spend money!
