4 Chapter Thirty
The Ludong Peninsula in May has already brought a little bit of heat, but compared with the capital, the weather here is still quite pleasant.At this time, Fang Mingyuan, Lin Lian, and Chen Zhong were walking on the streets of Weijiang City, which is located at the tip of Ludong Peninsula.

Accompanied by Fang Mingyuan, Cameron and Gore, who had finished filming the promotional film in Yazhou, went to Hong Kong to meet with Yu Qiuxia. Gore and Yu Qiuxia discussed how to enter the Chinese market for films in the future and how to further expand the cooperation between the two parties. The matter was discussed several times.During this meeting, Gore formally reached an agreement with Kumho Group on behalf of Halcyon Films. Halcyon Films invested 5000 million U.S. dollars. The copyright of "Luo Ji Park" will belong to Kumho Group.Moreover, the two parties have also reached a series of previous agreements on training personnel and exchanging technologies between the two parties in the future.In the next few years, the film company affiliated to Kumho Group will successively send hundreds of people to study at Jade Bird Film Company.

Moreover, after Yu Qiuxia's insistence, Gore agreed that the premiere of "Terminator 2" will be held in Hong Kong and the United States at the same time in the future. The two places will officially screen the Terminator at the same time, which is undoubtedly a good news for fans. And it became the headline on the entertainment section of the Hong Kong newspaper the next day.

During his stay in Hong Kong, although Cameron still hadn't made up his mind, he discussed with Fang Mingyuan many times about the problems that needed to be considered once "Titanic" started shooting.Including how to truly reproduce the original style of the Titanic.

Cameron proposed that in order to reproduce the style of the Titanic, it is best to convene relevant scientists, historians, photographers and very experienced sailors to find the wreckage of the Titanic and take physical photography to strengthen the " The Historical Authenticity of the Titanic Movie.

His request did not surprise Fang Mingyuan. In his previous life, Cameron persuaded Twentieth Century Fox to rent the largest deep-sea research vessel in the world at that time, the Russian "Mstislav Kyle" Tish College".Two of the ship's submarines, which can dive to 4000 meters, the depth of the wreck of the Titanic, were used.Cameron used these advanced submarine equipment to photograph the wreck of the Titanic.The remote-controlled submersible can even enter the wreckage of the Titanic, and take pictures of places that no one has ever reached after the sinking of the Titanic.And because special cameras on the submersible can only shoot for 12 minutes at a time, each dive must be carefully planned.Cameron organized a total of twelve dives and obtained a lot of valuable information.

Fang Mingyuan naturally strongly supported Cameron's idea, and also said "generously" that Cameron could be reimbursed from outside the general budget.

Fang Mingyuan also proposed to ask Cameron to find a way to find the Titanic's manufacturing shipyard to see if he could obtain the blueprint of the Titanic's manufacturing.Because he remembered that when he watched Cameron's filming of "Titanic" on TV, the host at the time mentioned that it was shortly before Cameron announced that he would shoot "Titanic". The shipyard of the USS opened its private archives, and Cameron and the others were able to see the manufacturing blueprints of the Titanic that they thought had long been absent.

It is precisely because of this nearly century-old blueprint that Cameron's art direction team was able to rearrange the various objects inside the ship according to the originals. Before that, no movie had detailed props. It's come to this point.It is precisely because of this meticulousness that the audience really believed that the Titanic really looked like this back then.Of course, it is precisely because of this meticulousness that the total budget of the film is so high.

Fang Mingyuan could tell that Cameron was really tempted.

After seeing off Gore and Cameron, Fang Mingyuan set off for the north. Entrusted by Qiu Xia, he came to Weijiang by the way to see the construction of the wharf belonging to Guo's Shipping Group Company that had started construction here.Fang Mingyuan, who had just arrived in Weijiang from the capital of Eastern Shandong Province, did not go to the dock site because it was getting late. Instead, he planned to visit the city of Weijiang first and have a bite to eat.

Weijiang is only a hundred nautical miles away from the mainland of South Korea, and is also very close to the mainland of Japan and the Beijing-Tianjin region of China. Controlling a port here can affect several surrounding countries, including the import and export countries in China in the future. South Korea and Japan, which are in the forefront, must have extremely considerable annual transportation volume.And since a long time ago, there have been frequent maritime exchanges between Weijiang and South Korea.Just in 1990, Weijiang opened the first sea route from Huaxia to South Korea. Although the shipping capacity is still small, this marks the end of the long-standing situation that the non-governmental trade between China and South Korea has been re-exported by a third party.Fang Mingyuan knew that with the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea in the future, this place would also become the bridgehead for economic and trade exchanges between South Korea and China.

Here in Weijiang, there have been many stores selling Korean products, and sometimes Koreans can be seen shopping and playing on the street. Although the formal establishment of diplomatic relations between the two countries has not yet been achieved, the non-governmental exchanges have gradually taken shape.

"Mingyuan, you said that the Japanese established diplomatic relations with us in the 70s, why have the Koreans delayed until now and have not established diplomatic relations with my country?" Lin Lian asked in surprise.Since South Korea and China are so close, China has been reforming and opening up for many years, and the Americans have already established diplomatic relations with China. It should be said that there should be no obstacles for Koreans to establish diplomatic relations with China.Why has it been delayed until now?

"The reason for this is more complicated." Fang Mingyuan thought for a while, "The main reason is that when our country resisted the U.S. and aided Korea, the strength of the South Korean army was relatively weak among the U.S. coalition forces. Of course, everyone picked the soft persimmon first, so The South Korean army fought hard. And because of our country’s sending of troops, South Korea’s dream of unifying the Korean peninsula came to naught, so it naturally had no good feelings for us. At that time, the United Nations thought that our volunteer army’s entry into North Korea was an invasion of South Korea, which was interference South Korea's internal affairs and South Korea has established diplomatic relations with Taiwan, and we have established diplomatic relations with North Korea. In this case, if South Korea wants to establish diplomatic relations with us, it must break diplomatic relations with Taiwan, and if we want to establish diplomatic relations with South Korea, we cannot bypass North Korea. So this That's how things dragged on."

In fact, later generations analyzed why the Koreans delayed the establishment of diplomatic relations with China until the 90s. In fact, this was related to the international situation.

The reason why the Koreans established diplomatic relations with China so late is of course the resistance to US aggression and aid to Korea. The enmity between the two countries is also because before the 90s, South Korea, one of the four Asian tigers, had a high-speed economic development and looked down on the lack of reform. Open China.Otherwise, what is the war between China and South Korea that has established diplomatic relations with Japan and South Korea, which had brutally ruled North Korea for decades?
In the 90s, with the further opening of the Chinese market, China's economy began to take off, but the economy of the four Asian tigers began to face bottlenecks - because the domestic market is small and the population is limited, the development of the four little dragons can basically be called An export-oriented economy, the products produced are supplied to the international market in large quantities.The result of this development model is that the successor force of economic development is insufficient. Once the international market fluctuates greatly, trade protectionism in various countries begins to rise, and the economy begins to stagnate.

However, Hong Kong among the Four Tigers, although its territory is smaller than that of South Korea and its market is narrower, has not yet returned to Hong Kong. It can provide it with ample room for development; Taiwan, on the one hand, is a key support target of the United States, and on the other hand, can also benefit from China's economic development; as for Singapore, it is further developed because of its geographical advantages.Only South Korea can neither rely on the benefits of China's economic take-off, nor have its advantages.Next to it is Japan.Deliberately want to rely on the United States, but the attention of the United States has been attracted to the Middle East at this time, and it is temporarily unable to take into account East Asia.Therefore, South Korea's economy has stagnated, and even has a downward trend.

Under such circumstances, in order to prevent South Korea's economic decline and also to share the benefits of China's economic development, South Korea had to abandon its original position and move closer to China.To put it bluntly, it's for self-protection

On the side of the Chinese government, due to the obvious decline of the Soviet Union, the military threat to China has been greatly reduced, and it has not even become a threat in a short period of time. At the same time, the Soviet Union's support for North Korea has also been greatly weakened. When you are in trouble, your waist will naturally not be strong.And in [-], after the disintegration of the Soviet Union, it was too busy to take care of itself, let alone North Korea.At this time, the Chinese government established diplomatic relations with South Korea, and they were no longer afraid of North Korea's threat to break off diplomatic relations.
The establishment of diplomatic relations between China and South Korea was a matter of course.

Of course, although Fang Mingyuan knew these things in his heart, he couldn't tell Lin Lian and the others, so he could only explain vaguely in this way.

However, such an explanation is enough for Lin Lian, who is not very concerned about political relations between countries.

A few people turned around a corner, and suddenly saw the crowds on the street in front of them in a mess, and then a large group of small vendors pushing carts or tricycles, ran towards here like frightened birds and beasts... …
