----------

""My Sassy Girlfriend"?" Wan Xiaohu was stunned for a moment, and then flipped through the cover of the novel. After a closer look, there was a line of English letters "My-Sssy-Grl" under the Korean title on the cover, Wan Xiaohu The English is so-so, but the sentence is quite simple, and it really means "my rude, rude girlfriend".

"Yes, what's the problem? It's very beautiful."

"you saw it?"

"No, but my roommate translated it for me. It said that a male protagonist met a savage female protagonist. This female protagonist likes to beat people after drinking. It's very funny."

"That sounds very interesting. Has it been made into a movie?" Wan Xiaohu asked casually. He couldn't remember whether "My Sassy Girl" had a novel or a movie first.

Su Ya shook her head: "How could it be so fast? My roommate's friend brought her a new book from South Korea, a newly published novel. Besides, this book is so anti-trend. How can anyone like to watch a woman when it is made into a movie?" Hit a man."

Wan Xiaohu's eyes flashed, as if he had thought of something, he said, "I think this story is very attractive, introduce your classmate to me, I want to hear the story of this novel."

Su Ya turned her head and looked at Wan Xiaohu: "Could it be that you want to pick up girls, let me introduce you to someone?"

Wan Xiaohu was speechless: "I have never met your roommate, what kind of girl are you dating?"

"That's right, but if you're going to pick her up, I'd really like to match you up. My roommate complains every day that I don't have a boyfriend, so I won't be able to get married in the future."

"How do you look?"

"very beautiful."

"Height, measurements, personality, hobbies, family background, whether you have a house or a car, and how much money do you have?" Wan Xiaohu asked with great interest as he turned the book.

"You want to be a badass?"

"It's not that I can't think about it. Life is too short. It would be great to find a rich woman to take care of you. You can eat and wait for death, and have fun all day long. Thinking about it, I'm a little excited."

Su Ya laughed loudly: "You really have great ambitions."

"You're right, I really have a big mole on my chest..."

When they arrived at the female dormitory of Peking University, Su Ya asked Wan Xiaohu to wait in the car.Wan Xiaohu really wanted to go into the girls' dormitory to take a look, but the auntie who was watching the door stared at Wan Xiaohu with wide eyes.The four words "You are a pervert" are almost written on the face.This made Wan Xiaohu extremely regretful, the girls' dormitory, what a mysterious place.

After a while, Su Ya came down with a beautiful woman with long hair.

"Tiger, this is my roommate Ye, Zhao Ye, this is my partner Wan Xiaohu and director Wan Da that I told you about."

Wan Xiaohu took a look at Zhao. He was a bit taller, less than one meter tall. His body was protruding forward and backward, but he was quite decent. He also had a melon face and willow eyebrows. She was a pretty beauty: "Hello."

"Hello." Zhao was a little shy.

Su Ya walked towards the car door: "If you have anything to say, get in the car and talk. Tiger is still in a hurry to go to Huayi Brothers."

After getting in the car, Wan Xiaohu began to ask Zhao about the information about "My Sassy Girlfriend".

"South Korea is a country with conservative folk customs. Kim Ho-sik's "My Sassy Girlfriend" has attracted a lot of attention from Korean netizens after it was published on the Internet, and it was assembled and published by the publishing house last month." Zhao explained, "Jin Haozhi is an internet writer. His online name is Morning Glory 74. Since last year, he has written a lot of humorous internet shorts. This book is a collection of his shorts. There are many humorous stories. It is worth reading."

"So, no one has started to adapt it into a movie yet?" Wan Xiaohu asked again.

Zhao thought for a while: "Probably not, the novel has only been published not long ago, and there is no news about it."

Su Ya asked while driving: "Why, Tiger, do you want to make this story into a movie?"

Wan Xiaohu nodded: "If given the chance, I don't think I would reject this good and creative story." In memory, "My Sassy Girlfriend" seemed to be filmed and released in 2001. It caused a sensation when it was screened. South Korea has set off a "barbaric tide".

This movie created director Guo Jae-yong's second spring, created Jun Ji-hyun's high popularity in Asia, and became a stepping stone for Korean movies to enter the Chinese market, triggering a movie-watching boom in China.Back then, Wan Xiaohu fell in love with the domineering Jun Ji-hyun because of watching this movie, and started to pay attention to Korean movies from then on.

Although Wan Xiaohu is extremely disgusted by Bang's proclamation that China's history belongs to them, it has to be said that for a long time to come, Chinese films will be slightly inferior to Korean films.A number of outstanding directors and films have emerged in South Korea, while Chinese films are still entertaining themselves and have never been able to break out.

The current Wan Xiaohu still has a lot of shortcomings in the shooting of commercial films. Those blockbuster films require too much control over the director, and he still needs to work harder.But for low-budget romantic dramas like "My Sassy Girl", he can still handle them with ease.

If you don't accumulate steps, you can't reach a thousand miles.

Wan Xiaohu knows that if he wants to become a great director, solid accumulation is very important. The films he chooses, whether it is "Waiting Alone" or "Butterfly Effect", are the kind of films that are extremely simple to shoot, focusing on creativity and stories rather than Based on the scene.Then, he didn't want to let go of "My Sassy Girl".

Koreans are very rich, and the current film market is bigger than the domestic market. It seems like a good idea to make "My Sassy Girl" and then counterattack South Korea for some money.

"The current mainland film market is basically broken. It is difficult to make a lot of money by making movies! The only way to do it is to think outside."

Hearing that the film version of this novel has not yet started filming, Wan Xiaohu became concerned: "Su Ya, this story is very good and worth filming. If possible, we should go to Korea and buy the copyright of the film of the novel. .”

"You really want to shoot?" Su Ya was surprised, "You haven't even heard the full story."

"I don't need to listen to the full story, I just know that this idea is very good. In order to attract people, apart from the wonderful content, it must be a novel idea. A good story starts from the first sight you see , you will think it is very good. We have to hurry up, if the copyright is bought by others, we will lose a lot.”

Su Ya still believed in Wan Xiaohu's talent as a director, and after discussing it, Su Ya said, "Okay, I'll take a leave of absence tomorrow, and go to Korea to contact the author of this novel in person and buy the movie rights. It just so happens that Ye is learning Korean, so come with me."

"It's great to play in Korea for free, I agree." Zhao said with a smile.

Wan Xiaohu thought of something again: "That's right, Zhao, don't you learn Korean? By the way, translate this book. If possible, contact his publishing house and get the publishing rights from the mainland. When the movie becomes popular, the novel is guaranteed to rise, and the popularity will be a mess."

Mosquito legs are also meat, no matter how little money a novel makes, it is still money.

Arriving at Huayi Brothers' company, Wan Xiaohu carried his briefcase, walked past the two of them, and entered the company. Wang Zhonglei was already waiting in the office.In the past few years, brothers Wang Zhongjun and Wang Zhonglei have made a lot of money investing in movies, and the idea of ​​making movies has become more and more intense.Therefore, he attached great importance to Wan Xiaohu's arrival.

0053【Time does not wait for me】

In the 80s, China's market-based economy was booming, and the whole country was advocating material construction and economic construction. It was also in this golden age of rapid development that the tide broke out.Countless people have resigned from their positions in state-owned enterprises and government agencies, and resolutely embarked on the journey of starting their own businesses.

In 1985, at the age of 25, Wang Zhongjun resigned from the Materials Publishing House of the State Administration of Materials and devoted himself to the advertising business.At that period when the entertainment industry was just starting, Wang Zhongjun deeply felt that his vision and knowledge could not keep up with the pace of economic construction, so he re-entered his studies and traveled across the sea to study in the United States for five years.

After obtaining a master's degree in mass media from the State University of New York, Wang Zhongjun finally felt that he had the foundation for starting a business. In 1994, 34-year-old Wang Zhongjun took the US$10 he earned from his work-study program in the United States and set foot on the plane back to China. Ten-year-old brother Wang Zhonglei co-founded Huayi Brothers Advertising Company.

During this period, gold was everywhere in the country, but it was only picked up by those who were prepared.

Relying on the advertising knowledge learned in the United States, Huayi Brothers received the standardization project of more than 15000 outlets of the Bank of China. After the completion, it quickly received orders from many state-owned enterprises at that time. The advertising business grew and became one of the top ten advertising companies in the country. .

In 1998, Wang Zhongjun ran into a former colleague who was working in the TV industry, and told him that TV was a good way to make money.After the advertising industry fell into a bottleneck, Wang Zhongjun was moved, so he invested in the first TV series "Psychological Clinic", and the profit was [-]%!Since then, it has been out of control and plunged into the domestic film industry.

"Jing Ke Assassinates the King of Qin", "The Ghost Is Coming", "My One and One", "A Sigh", and "Endless" are all filmed by the two brothers.Unlike Yu Dong who just started working alone, the two brothers Wang Zhongjun are quite well-known in the industry, and they are known as the "ace army" in the art world.

Now Wang Zhongjun has started to dabble in a wider range of businesses, artist brokerage, record marketing, and started the layout of a large media group.The investment in the film was basically handed over to his younger brother Wang Zhonglei.Perhaps under the light of his elder brother Wang Zhongjun, Wang Zhonglei is a bit dim, but he is not an ordinary person. He graduated from the National Youth Institute of Political Science, is full of talents, and is very good at making movies.

Earlier, Wan Xiaohu met Wang Zhonglei, drank tea, and talked about the distribution rights of "Waiting Alone".Although it didn't work, the impression of each other was pretty good.

After Wang Zhonglei's secretary made tea, he closed the door and went out.

"Brother, drink tea."
