Chapter 283: 1 Case of ‘Assisting the Enemy’

When it comes to foreign affairs, Koreans are actually very good at sticking together, especially when they need to show their national pride.

With Lin Yuner as their own, the appeal of "Hollywood" movies to Korean fans and even ordinary people is definitely more attractive than simple Hollywood blockbusters.

Maybe there will be dedicated fans at that time, so that they will go to the cinema in groups to buy tickets on the pretext of another "Hollywood actor" in Korea.

In any case, these are all box office.

From the perspective of directors, screenwriters, and investors, Luo Junning is very happy to see such a scene, but if he can also stick a stick to the so-called competitors, he is very happy.

However, he doesn't know much about the Chinese market. Fortunately, there is Tang Han, who has been focusing on the entertainment industry in the past two years.

Although the news of "Thieves Alliance" has not yet been fully spread, even Bong Joon-ho knows about it, and there is no reason for Tang Han not to know.

"I know, but you have to give me a reason to convince me to tell you." Tang Han was calm and relaxed, drinking the coffee brewed by Choi Seung-ya.

Luo Junning resisted the urge to kick this sister out and leave her coffee, "I'm afraid of hurting one of my own."

"One of my own? Among the confirmed cast, the one you can call one of your own is not Jun Ji-hyun, right?" Tang Han said thoughtfully.

"Sister, let's talk business! In your eyes, does being a beautiful woman have anything to do with me? Even if it does, why must it be an 'older sister' than me?"

Although "The Thieves" was indeed 'seen' from Jun Ji-hyun, that was two or three years ago. These older actresses are so smart. Lee Hyori and Yoon Eun-hye are enough to give him a headache, so why would he bother with more older sisters?

Younger sisters are still cuter. Although they are also annoying when they cling to people, especially for him who is no longer planning to find more girlfriends, but it's also a comparison.

"You seem to have some inappropriate misunderstandings about the word sister."

Tang Han narrowed his eyes. Although there was no abnormal phenomenon that was inconsistent with the scientific outlook on development, Luo Junning still felt a chill on his back and quickly changed the subject.

"How about we talk about the movie?"

This brother, is your ability to change the subject always so bad? He even asked for instructions. He has not improved at all in the past few years.

Tang Han rolled his eyes, but unexpectedly and logically followed his wishes.

"We have invested in this play, 40 million, a little more than 30%."

The 40 million here is naturally the soft sister yuan, which is 56 billion won when converted into Korean won. By this calculation, the investment in "The Thieves" should be around 15 billion won.

In terms of investment alone, it is more than half less than "Snowpiercer".

But as for the final box office… well, as for the Chinese box office, Luo Junning feels that Snowpiercer is a bit shaky, because this movie is not a traditional commercial film. It has a lot of special effects that cost a lot of money, but it is not the type of Star Wars. It is labeled with action, plot, and science fiction, and adds thinking about human nature.

It has a bit of the shadow of an art film. It can be said that it has many labels and is suitable for a wider audience, but in terms of appeal… traditional commercial films are more "charming".

From the perspective of an ordinary movie fan, Luo Junning feels that he will support both movies,

but if he wants to watch it twice or three times.

Well… if there is no Im Yoona, he might prefer to choose Thieves Alliance.

So, if the two movies are released at the same time and compete, he is not worried about the box office in South Korea, but he is a little worried about the box office in China.

But then again, why should the two movies compete?

"I have no say in this matter. As one of the investors, Zelu Entertainment can only squeeze in two people at most, and such a decision that affects the release date, you don't want to see me lose money, do you?"

"When will it be released?" Luo Junning asked bluntly.

"Next summer."

Huh!

What's there to worry about?

Luo Junning was relieved, and he revealed some information to Bong Joon-ho, reassuring his assistant, and suddenly asked: "Is that movie still in need of investment?"

It's stupid not to make money, especially money that has nothing to do with you. It's not a big deal to make money.

The production company of "The Thieves" is, which is also well-known in South Korea, but it is obviously just a name.

Including Zelu Entertainment, this time they just want to make money and don't plan to leave a name.

Although he didn't understand it, Luo Junning didn't get to the bottom of it, because this time he just wanted to make money and didn't think about leaving a name - it would be funny to be misunderstood as hitting himself.

Company C was a little embarrassed about Luo Junning's intention, but when Luo Junning took out 5 billion won of investment, the atmosphere suddenly became harmonious.

Before any movie is released, no one knows whether it will make a profit or a loss.

Although the original investment of 15 billion won was not small, it was still far behind Luo Junning's investment of 40 billion won in Snowpiercer.

5 billion won more means more guarantee.

Most importantly, Luo Junning's reputation in the film and television industry is intact. He is willing to invest in films anonymously, and there is at least a 90% chance that they will make money, and make a lot of money.

Although it may sound a bit vulgar, it is the most practical thing for investors.

The other two investors soon got the news, and they were more confident and prepared to hold a small gathering of investors. Luo Junning was not interested.

However, after getting the news, he decided to go.

"I haven't seen you for a few days. You look handsome again. Not bad. I heard that you went to the Czech Republic a few days ago?" Li Chengtai changed his female companion, but what didn't change was that she was very beautiful and had a good figure.

Luo Junning just took a look, and then confidently took Quan Yuli forward.

In comparison, Quan Yuli's figure is definitely the best choice. In addition, after being with him, she often pays attention to skin care. The black pearl in the past has long become a thing of the past.

It is said that a white face can cover up a hundred ugliness, not to mention that Quan Yuli's facial features are already exquisite, and now they are even more dazzling. Even without gorgeous clothes, she has become the most attractive pearl in the venue.

After Li Chengtai greeted Quan Yuli politely, he never looked at her again. It was not that he didn't care about her, but that he respected Luo Junning.

Otherwise, considering his personality of changing girlfriends every two weeks, he should have gone up to ask for her phone number.

Luo Junning hugged him and said dissatisfiedly: "I don't care whether he is handsome or not, but didn't you tell me in advance that you were "assisting the enemy" this time?"
