Hong Kong Stubborn

This time, Luo Junyan and sister army went to Japan together, just to make up for their newlywed honeymoon trip.

Bian Sicong was arranged to purchase the main shooting equipment and utensils. Snowman Century Entertainment has to spend more than 5 million yuan, and the company has more than 17 million Hong Kong dollars left on the company's account.

Luo Junyan is now eager to reverse the situation of only going out and not going in as soon as possible, and he is very positive about the collection.

When the couple arrived at Toho’s headquarters in Japan, Toho’s president actually greeted him personally, and his attitude was extremely respectful. Luo Junyan had a bad premonition. If the other party was too polite, it must mean something to say, and probably nothing good would happen.

Sure enough, after the two parties were seated, the president bowed and apologized, yelling for forgiveness.

The reason is that South Korea has been unable to recover the box office share in the short term. It is hard to say how long it will take in the short term. Although the yen has appreciated again, South Korea’s box office is also equivalent to nearly 600 million yen in revenue. Luo Junyan himself has up to 420 million yen in revenue.

Toho’s explanation is that the current political situation in South Korea is unstable. More and more people began to march in the streets, demanding the election of the president by all people and not supporting the incumbent president to continue to be re-elected.

However, Toho’s partner in South Korea has a very close relationship with the current senior officials of the Presidential Palace. During this extraordinary period, the box office share of more than 3 billion won was embezzled for other urgent matters.

Dongbao finally relayed to Luo Junyan a solution proposed by the South Korean partner, using a piece of vacant land in the Gangnam area of ​​Seoul to compensate Luo Junyan’s 2.1 billion won of box office share.

The transfer of land ownership requires Luo Junyan to be of Korean nationality. As for how to solve the problem that Luo Junyan is not of Korean nationality? The other party meant that as long as Luo Junyan’s film company set up a Korean branch in Seoul, they would have a way to legally transfer the land to Luo Junyan’s name.

It's not a matter of Luo Junyan how to resolve Dongbao's box office share.

Luo Junyan has this curse in his heart, why is it all right to get a piece of land in Korea? Although South Korea’s land is completely privatized, if land tax is paid every year, wouldn’t it become a hot potato even if a house is built?

But after listening to Dongbao's meaning, Luo Junyan can probably imagine it too. If there are unexpected changes in the political situation in South Korea, and the money will be lost, then it will be worthless.

Luo Junyan is really in a dilemma. Before he can figure out what to do, sister army said: "Can you tell us about the situation of that piece of land?"

Dongbao’s president nodded, and the staff below quickly laid a copy of the Seoul land plan on the table.

One of the staff members pointed to a rectangle with a red border in Gangnam-gu, southeast of Seoul, and introduced: “This belongs to Nonhyeon-dong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul. The headquarters of Korean film companies are currently concentrated in this area. The vacant land that has just been leveled out covers an area of ​​1,497 pings, or 4,940 square meters, 105 meters in length and 47 meters in width. The land belongs to the president of the Korean partner."

Looking at the map, Luo Junyan felt a little confused, and didn't know if it would be worthwhile. The key is that I don’t know where to compare, and I definitely can’t compare the land prices in Xiangjiang.

Sister Army calculated it in her mind, and whispered to Luo Junyan: "Husband, can I be the master this time?"

Luo Junyan nodded and said: "Wife, you decide, I'm all confused."

Sister Army then said: "We accept this compensation plan. Please contact the South Korean partner to complete the land owner change procedures as soon as possible, and we will actively cooperate."

Toho heaved a sigh of relief, and the president bowed and apologized, saying: "I will notify the Korean partner to start operations immediately. On behalf of Toho Corporation, I once again apologize to Mr. Luo and Mrs. Luo for the settlement of the box office share of "Three Kingdoms Warriors". I promise to complete the work within three days."

For the next two days, Dongbao sent a special car to take Luo Junyan and his wife to Tokyo.

On the third day, in addition to the Korean box office share, Toho transferred a total of 1.51 billion yen in box office share proceeds to the account set up by Snowman Century Entertainment in Japan.

At present, the yen exchange rate has approached the level of 130 yen for 1 U.S. dollar. Luo Junyan is not in a hurry to convert the proceeds into Hong Kong dollars and transfer them back to Hong Kong. He had to listen to Cheng Ge's opinion, the commander did not give an order, the money can only be temporarily kept in the Japanese account.

The couple simply played in Japan for a week, and only when there was a message from South Korea, they transferred to South Korea to continue their honeymoon trip. Of course, in conjunction with the operation of the South Korean partner, Luo Junyan registered the Snowman Century Entertainment Korea branch in Seoul, which is actually an empty shell.

In just over a month, the procedures for the transfer of the clean land in Nonhyeon-dong, Seoul were all completed, and the land ownership was changed to the name of Luo Junyan and his wife.

In order to achieve this land ownership transfer quickly, Luo Junyan and his wife somehow obtained the permanent residence rights of foreigners in South Korea, and they became important foreign industrial investors.

Luo Junyan and sister army have only visited their land in South Korea once, it is too unsafe to travel. There are too many people marching on the street now, and various conflicts have erupted frequently. The couple can only spend their honeymoon in the hotel.

This time, the exchange of the 2.1 billion won in compensation for the land is just the size of a football field. All the buildings above were demolished, and the land had just been leveled. It was originally a project that the South Korean film company had already started to develop.

Luo Junyan was walking numbly on the land enclosed by the wall, dripping blood in her heart, knowing that she must have been severely slaughtered this time.

Although the surrounding area of ​​Nonhyeon-dong in Gangnam is well developed and belongs to the area where the wealthy class of Seoul gathers, the net land without such a **** building is definitely not worth 2.1 billion won.

But sister army decisively accepts this almost blackmail condition is completely correct. Looking at the current domestic situation in Korea, it is estimated that if the land is not required, the money will basically not be returned, and if it is delayed for a period of time, it is unknown whether the land can be obtained.

The only thing that pleases Luo Junyan is that South Korea’s land is completely private, which is more generous than Xiangjiang. If the state wants to requisition, the landowner must accept the price of state compensation. Luo Junyan doesn't feel so distressed about this, paying the 3% land tax every year.

With the help of the South Korean film company, Luo Junyan hired five Korean employees in the name of Snowman Century Entertainment Korea Branch. In fact, I hired 5 security guards to guard this football field in shifts. Don't have money to build a house temporarily after Luo Junyan returned to Xiangjiang. Instead, let others touch in to build an illegal building.

After tossing this lap, it was already mid-May when Luo Junyan and sister army returned to Xiangjiang.

Luo Junyan must first explain the situation to Brother Cheng, who is also a shareholder of Snowman Century Entertainment, but his name is not on the land lease in South Korea. Another thing is to discuss when to convert the 1.51 billion yen into Hong Kong dollars.

Cheng's solution to the problem is simple and straightforward. He now wants to buy antiques with cash.

Leave the land in Korea to your husband and wife to build a Korean courtyard. If the 2.1 billion won converted into Hong Kong dollars is less than 25 million Hong Kong dollars, then Luo Junyan will compensate him 5 million Hong Kong dollars based on 20% of the company's shares.

As for when will the yen be exchanged for the Hong Kong dollar? Brother Cheng doesn't know how high the yen has appreciated in this round, so he has to be safe and exchange the money with Luo Junyan to make sure that the yen exchange rate breaks through 1 U.S. dollar to 130 yen.

Luo Junyan was so upset in his heart that he lost a lot of money when he exchanged the box office share for a piece of land, and he had to spend another 5 million Hong Kong dollars.

However, Cheng's request was reasonable and Luo Junyan could only transfer the money to him, which was regarded as closing the Korean affairs. At this time, the joint account used by the couple for daily income and expenditure was more than 3 million. They might not be able to afford a sports car. Luo Junyan regretted returning all the loans to the bank at this time.

Luo Junyan occasionally pays attention to the situation of the Hong Kong stock market.

The market index is still rising, and it has risen to around 3,200 points. If he holds shares to the present, he can earn at least 40 to 50 million more.

Luo Junyan not only did not regret it, but once again soberly realized that he had no investment vision and talent at all. In the future, let's make movies honestly and figure out the director's routine as soon as possible.

Therefore, Luo Junyan focused on the crew of "A Chinese Ghost Story" this time. For the film "A Chinese Ghost Story", Tsui Hark is the producer, Cheng Xiaodong is the director, Leslie Cheung is the actor, and the main supporting role is Wu Ma. He is familiar with these people.

Only the heroine Wang Zuxian didn't know him, but Luo Junyan got acquainted with Wang Zuxian within a few days of squatting on the crew. In Luo Junyan's view, Wang Zuxian, this little girl, seemed to have a lot of eyes, but she was a little bit stunned to speak and act. In fact, there was no city government, and he was classified as a kind of fool anyway.

In this era, being a director in Xiangjiang is not so particular. You can start to practice your hands when you figure out the basic knowledge of shooting. If you know the advanced knowledge of camera angle, actor's position, position, environment and atmosphere, rhythm control, etc., then you are basically a master. .

Luo Junyan has not been exposed to these things since he started to run the game. The theory and practice are at least above the pass line.

If Luo Junyan is allowed to direct a film now, the problem will not be too big. But in the words of Brother Cheng, what Luo Junyan lacks now is a compulsory grid, and a civilized point is called Duan.

Regardless of how guilty the director is, he has to be the king at the shooting scene, the highest-ranking existence. He has to hold everyone in the crew, and can't let the actors and subordinates in the crew play joyfully on his territory.

Brother Cheng suggested that Luo Junyan should wear sunglasses first. In this case, even if his head was blindfolded and his eyes were straight, others would not be able to see it.

When Luo Junyan first started as a director, he could try to use film for effects. If you don’t know how to shoot a scene well, you can shoot the actor once in 360 degrees, and leave one usable at the end. It’s all alive.

As for wasted film money? You can severely demean the actors and make up for the wasted money with fines.

That being said, Luo Junyan still has a lot to learn in depth. At least it is not easy to break a movie into how many scenes. You can't summon the people back to make up afterwards.

Sister Army is more caring and more reliable than Brother Cheng. She told Luo Junyan not to worry at first, and only needed to produce one play in a year, and slowly find a director style that suits her.

As for what Brother Cheng said, just listen to one-third of it. If you listen to it all, it's better not to listen to it or not to believe it.

Taking advantage of Luo Junyan's opportunity to follow the crew all night to learn to shoot night scenes, army sister Yolomezi went to her home to sleep with her for one night. Luo Meizi hadn't chatted with sister army for a long time, so she happily went to the appointment.

The two have long agreed that they will not change their names to siblings and sisters, and still call each other's names, army and Azi.

That night, the lights were turned off in the room, and the two women lay on the bed, and they laughed and sighed.

Then, sister army asked: "Azi, you are not too young anymore, haven't you thought about dating?"

Luo Meizi did not shy away from anything, and replied: "A sound engineer in A Xian's record company has always wanted to associate with me. But I really don't feel much about him. I think everyone is only suitable for ordinary friends. "

Sister Army turned around, holding Luo Meizi's arm, and then asked: "Azi, what type do you like? Wouldn't it be a man like Ajun?"

Luo Meizi made a cut and said, "Only you treat him as a treasure. I have taken care of him since I was a child, and I have taken care of him. Now I am annoyed when I see him. There is no seriousness, but I always make trouble outside."

Lo Mizi changed to lying down, and then said: "If I look for a husband, I will find a man like my dad. Honestly, talented but never fight for fame and fortune, especially for love. My mother is the only woman in my whole life."

She smiled and said: "A Jun is quite following Dad at this point. Arm, you can rest assured that he will never get in trouble outside, let alone be deceived by women outside to get his money. I remember him When he was young, once asked him to give his little sister a jelly bean to eat, he almost cried out of distress."

The army hugged Luo Meizi and raised the embarrassment of Luo Junyan, and the two couldn't help laughing.

Afterwards, sister army said: “Azi, this time Snowman Century Entertainment has adjusted its operation strategy. Ajun transferred Bian Sicong from his agent to be the on-site producer. Bian Sicong I don’t have much contact with, and I don’t seem to have heard him mention anything from home. There is nothing wrong with this person, right?"

Luo Meizi thought for a while, and said, "Brother Cong is a very well-mannered person and doesn't care about gains or losses. As for the situation in his family, his family has already immigrated to the United States, and he is the only one who stays in Xiangjiang. I am too. I just heard him briefly mention it once, and that his father is a surgeon."

Sister Army said half jokingly: "Then he meets your requirements quite well, but it's a pity that he is a bit fatter."

Luo Meizi smiled and pushed away sister army, and said, "I don't care too much about being fat or not. The point is that he is just like a gas bag in front of Ajun. I can't bear this kind of being bullied and silent. man."

Sister Army can feel that Luo Meizi still has a good impression of Bian Sicong, otherwise he would not pay much attention to his usual situation.

Then let it go. Sister Army can be regarded as completely relieved, at least Bian Sicong still has the opportunity to avoid unpredictable consequences due to unrequited love.

Sister Army stopped testing Luo Meizi, and said jokingly: "Ajun is not like a bag in front of me, why don't you fight for him?"

Luo Meizi leaned close to her, put her arms around sister army's waist, and whispered: "You didn't take advantage of him? You let him hold him like this every night, and he won't suffer from any anger."

Sister Army raised her hand to Tickle Luo Meizi's armpit, and said with a smile, "Azi, you are crazy."

The two women just joked and slapped around in bed.
