Chapter 325: A gift

The financing negotiations between the Pacific Foundation and the three entertainment companies started quickly. Although the specific work was entrusted to the negotiation team led by Scott, Ronan was not idle. Accompanied by Alex, he further investigated the Korean film market. Especially in peripheral industries.
For Hollywood, South Korea is already a mature overseas movie market. There is almost no room for increase in the box office share of theaters, but the surrounding markets have not yet been further developed.
Ronan went to the sales department of several large movie theaters and disc and video tape stores in Seoul to check. The sales in the surrounding area were not good. In some DVD stores, many pirated discs were also found.
No one can expect that every country has a relatively complete and stringent copyright protection law like North America. Compared with most countries and regions, South Korea has done quite well.
After a day's turn, Ronan knew that the surrounding development of the Korean market had a long way to go, and on the way back to the hotel in the car, he exchanged many opinions with Alex.
After talking about work, Ronan asked when the car passed near a giant stadium under construction, "Is this the venue for next year's FIFA World Cup?"
The 2002 World Cup was jointly hosted by South Korea and the island countries.
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, looking like a national team from 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 one game and so on.
In any case, there is no bottom line in the end.
That strange thing about the Saudi team.
But the national team has plummeted since then.
how to say? Responsible for creating the laughter of the people of the whole country, and shouldering countless Internet stalkers.
It is said that during the 2008 Olympic Games, the star who "I am not born strong, I am just born to be cold", after the Olympic finals, I felt that the Oriental fans were very enthusiastic. The whole audience was cheering for the Argentine team in Chinese. A reporter interviewed him after the game. When he praised his good Chinese literature, he tried to say "Come on, Argentina", but the man smiled shyly and said lightly "Xie Yalong, end get out of class".
At that time, the big man of the Football Association created the most popular online term of the year-akimbo.
Legend has it that Phelps traveled so fast at the Olympic Games and won so many gold medals because the akimbo muscles soaked their feet in the pool.
Alex tentatively asked: "Mr. Anderson likes football?"
Ronan nodded: "I watch it occasionally." He said casually: "Soccer and American football are considered to be favorites, but unfortunately there is not much time to watch."
In fact, buying a team to play a professional sports club is also good. Just like what he said to Mansour at the beginning, to build a top professional team is also an excellent publicity for himself and the company.
If the operation is good, the club will not need too much blood transfusion.
In the first two years, Mansour and Rupert Murdoch competed for Manchester United, but under the strong intervention of the FA, both ended in failure.
Ronan remembered that later Manchester United became the possession of the Glazer family.
Unfortunately, the funds are not enough now, otherwise he can also play football games.
See if there is a suitable opportunity in the future.
At this time, Alex said: "I applied for some tickets through the 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.
This time the Korean team game, let it go, because it is too speechless.
Some memories related to the previous life emerged. The South Korean team first hacked Italy and then killed Spain in a darker way, shocking the world.
Perhaps only the Koreans were caught in the carnival at that time, ignoring the verbal abuse from the whole world.
Anyway, I bury my head in the sand and I don’t have to look outside.
And Koreans can do it, but they can't let people from other countries speak.
A certain football commentator from the Undesirable Country said a few very implicit truths in the live broadcast. As a result, the South Korean Embassy directly protested. By the time of the replay the next day, the comment of that commentator had been replaced.
Of course, South Koreans can do this in East Asia, and the West does not buy it. European media all dubbed the South Korean team in the 2002 World Cup as the "most shameful event in World Cup history."
Anyone who knows a little about football can imagine what role FIFA has played.
Professional football has never been a pure land.
Ronan read the news on the Internet that he didn't know the truth or not. The then Vice President of FIFA and South Korean Zheng Mengjun once said: "Did they ask me to bribe referees? If I have this ability, why not? "
In the semifinals, why did Germany end South Korea? The "Emperor of Football" and then the chairman of the German Football Association Beckenbauer came out to put pressure on FIFA, but they were the target of the FIFA leader Blatter who wanted to be re-elected.
It is said that one hour before the final, the referee team was replaced by a European team led by a Swiss referee. Germany is a European team, which in itself did not conform to the default rules of referee selection at the time.
Without the referee's care...
Want to win the Hercules Cup 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 and his assistant Connie entered the hotel together. Just as they walked into 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 Young Min called."
Ronan took his cellphone and chatted with Kim Young-min. Kim Young-min was very polite and said something like "I’m sorry, please forgive me", and then said that as the host and partner, they will have A few gifts are here, please Ronan not to refuse.
Jin Yingmin did not say what the specific gift was, and Ronan could not ask it rudely.
Hanging up the phone, Ronan said to Connie: "The Koreans may send something over and let me know."
Connie said immediately: "Okay."
Ronan didn't stay in the hall, and went straight back to the room to rest, and at the same time summed up his experience during the fieldwork these days.
South Korea’s entertainment market is not very large. Because of the population and other factors, the overall volume is not as large as that of island countries. Although there is a huge population of the same root and the same origin in the north, the two are in a state of mortal enemy. Hollywood movies cannot cross the 30th latitude through legitimate channels. The octave line.
North side appears as an absolute villain in Hollywood movies.
In the previous movie starring Hulanlan and Seth Logan, the theme was to directly assassinate the leader over there. It can only be said that the Hollywood gang dared 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, he seems to have a very strange relationship with a fat guy in the north.
Ronan spent dinner in the suite, took a shower, and sat in front of the laptop to deal with work emails. It was just eight o'clock in the evening when Connie called and said that it was a Korean delivery.
Connie’s voice is a little weird, as if this gift is very special...
Ronan is also quite curious, what kind of dress can these Koreans give?
There was a knock on the door, Ronan opened the door, and Connie was standing 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 Hyo-li glanced at the hotel's sign and knew that he had arrived at his destination.
"Go." The agent sitting in the co-pilot said, "This will be of great benefit to your future development. Haven't you always wanted to release records alone? You have fulfilled their requirements..."
When the words came to an end, Lee Hyori knew very well, nodded lightly, and walked into the hotel.
She was still in the first contract period, and she was unable to fight against the brokerage company at all.
Besides, this is not a big deal. Most of the female stars in the circle who are a little bit pretty come here.
Lee Hyo-ri simply cleaned up his mood, found the makeup mirror, looked at the makeup on his face, and walked into the elevator.
It is said that this time we will entertain big figures in the American entertainment industry. If we can make the other party happy, will we have a chance to hold a concert in the United States in the future?
At that time, it doesn't matter if the ticket is free or even free. As long as the concert can be opened, there will be a certain number of audiences, and the status and style will immediately be raised to a level.
Lee Hyo-ri entered the industry at the age of eighteen, and he knows that the local market is really not that big. With so many artists grabbing such a small piece of cake, the competition is too fierce.
Just like her, she paid so much, just barely able to eat.
When I took the elevator to the upper floors of the hotel, Lee Hyo-ri dialed a phone number and saw an ordinary-looking brown-haired woman who quickly introduced herself in unskilled English:
Hello, I’m Lee Hyo-ri, and I will bring Mr. Anderson Park Greetings from Mr. Changji."
Connie glanced at the Korean woman with very delicate makeup and said, "You come with me."
The way these Koreans entertain VIPs is really peculiar.
When she was in Los Angeles, she thought Hollywood was messy enough, but she didn't expect...
This time I came out, it really grew solid, the Korean entertainment circle is much messier than Hollywood~EbookFREE.me~ trouble you. "Lee Hyori is very polite.
Connie took her to the door of the presidential suite and knocked gently on the door, which opened from the inside, revealing a young face.
Lee Hyo-ri was a little surprised. This man was tall, handsome and easy-going, and he was easy to feel good at first glance.
Listening to this person and the woman who was obviously an assistant quickly exchanged a few words in English, Lee Hyo-ri walked into the presidential suite, moving his steps, twisting his waist unconsciously to make his posture more attractive.
"Do you speak English?" Ronan asked at this time.
"Able to speak." Lee Hyori replied, "Not fluent."
While she was talking, she walked into the living room of the presidential suite and saw two figures sitting on the sofa. She raised her eyebrows unexpectedly. It turned out to be Quan Jixian and Song Hye Kyo, who have become popular recently.
In order to please this big Hollywood figure, they are really willing to pay for it!
