Chapter 58 A Movie without Popcorn Is Soulless
Two years ago, New Century Investment "returned" to South Korea under the name of "Overseas Investment Company" and began to intervene on a large scale in South Korea, especially various industries in Seoul, most of which were normal business developments.
The only one with a hint of selfishness is the entertainment industry, or rather, the film industry.
In this era, it is actually very simple for capital to enter the entertainment industry. The bigger the capital and the more willing it is to delegate power, the more popular it will be. However, there are still various restrictions in the film industry.
It’s not that you can’t get in, it’s that this circle is too professional, and those who can stand out in the circle basically have their own backgrounds. It’s easy to fool external capital, and you can only admit that you are unlucky when you screw people over.
Unless someone in the circle accepts you, you can truly enter this circle and make money.
At that time, Luo Junning already had considerable influence in the film industry, and New Century Investment was his industry. Even if he was anonymous, he could easily enter the film industry.
However, Luo Junning had a big heart and did not want to be controlled by others, so he did not go through the normal channels. Instead, he let New Century Investment take the "channel" route. He used the method of competing with CJ Entertainment to start purchasing real estate and real estate in several major cities in South Korea. , and then open its own theater chain.
At that time, the relationship between New Century Investment and Luo Junning was the most secretive. Except for a few people, not even the Korean official found out about this relationship at the first time - although there were reasons for not paying full attention to it. .
So much so that in just half a year, New Century Investment has intervened in all walks of life and has considerable influence.
If New Century Investment is targeted by forces outside of the capital circle, maybe they will die together and cause a lot of people to lose their jobs, then the authorities will also have a headache.
After all, the foundation of New Century Investment is not in South Korea, so it also has the qualifications to die together, or even just to be injured when the net breaks.
This kind of influence may not have much influence in each circle individually, but together, it makes their journey of 'enclosing land' and 'building houses' go smoothly, even if CJ doesn't want to see anyone While competing for resources with itself, within the scope of normal business methods, it was also successfully stolen by New Century Investment, which has strong capital, and became the second largest theater chain in South Korea, entering the film industry with a superior attitude.
Moreover, with Luo Junning's presence, it is impossible for CJ Entertainment to unite with people in the film industry to eliminate the cinema film sources invested by New Century.
Of course, this was the situation before. The two theaters were tit-for-tat, and there was competition, but it was still restrained. It was not until Li Chengtai took control of CJ Entertainment and chose to form an alliance with Luo Junning that the situation was alleviated.
At this time, Luo Junning no longer overly concealed his relationship with New Century Investment. Although it was not known to everyone, it was not a secret in the so-called upper-class circles. It also provided him with Li Chengtai and Li Chengtai. CJ Entertainment is qualified for equal dialogue and even cooperation.
Oh, right!
Li Chengtai did not use this reason when he took the initiative to form an alliance with Luo Junning. It was even more about his own cooperation with Luo Junning, rather than CJ Entertainment and Infinite Group or New Century Investment.
Luo Junning doesn't care, as long as it helps him maintain influence in South Korea and can better take care of his girlfriends, then we can talk about it.
The current situation is that after the two cooperated and formed an alliance, the vague hostility between CJ Entertainment and New Century Investment has completely ended, and they have even entered a stage of mutual support.
The biggest performance is that New Century Investment Cinemas, which originally only had two theaters in Seoul, has added three more theaters in Seoul.
The money was naturally invested by New Century, but without CJ Entertainment's involvement, it would have been troublesome and not worth the loss to gain ownership of these three cinemas.
For Zheng Xiujing, such a situation was something that she didn't even pay much attention to.
She is just a little girl, the kind that will take another year to reach adulthood. In addition to her work at f(x), she has
My whole heart is focused on how to defeat my brother-in-law, so how can I care about anything else?
Now, she was following Luo Junning, but her mind was thinking about her previous 'sisters' watching movies with her brother-in-law.
If she remembered correctly, this movie theater was located in Dongdaemun, just down the street from CJ's CGV Cinema. Her brother-in-law and her sisters hadn't come to see it yet.
In other words, does this cinema belong to you and your brother-in-law?
It was justifiable to think like this, so Zheng Xiujing smiled sweetly. This smile made Luo Junning puzzled, and she couldn't guess what the child was enjoying himself.
If he really knew it, he would probably have to make a good joke about it:
When I went to the movies with my girlfriends before, I did not go to this new theater that opened two months ago. But that was just to cooperate with my girlfriends and to attract audiences to my own theaters, so I went to the theater where there were obviously passersby waiting for me. Even so, I kept going to those three movie theaters.
Now that he is with Jung Soo Jung, he can do the same promotion, but there is no need.
What's more, Jessica is just his sister-in-law, not his girlfriend. If this child is really used for publicity, it will still be a lover-style promotion. Not to mention whether he can live with it in his own heart, Jessica alone will not be able to pass it.
He didn't want to get a death call from Jessica Jung before he was halfway through the movie.
However, after all, it was his own cinema, and he was only taking his sister-in-law to watch a movie, so Luo Junning didn't take the child to queue up. After getting the ticket from the theater manager, he went directly into the screening room through the normal passage.
"Brother-in-law, I want to drink Coke and eat popcorn."
Following Luo Junning, seeing that he had nothing in his hands, Zheng Xiujing hurriedly reminded him in a low voice.
You know, a movie without Coke and popcorn has no soul at all!
Luo Junning looked at the child with a strange look, and wanted to say, "This movie is not a popcorn movie", but finally nodded and took her to get Coke and popcorn.
"I want a big bag, two big bags!"
The Coke was a large cup, there was no doubt about that, but when buying popcorn, Luo Junning only wanted to buy a small bag and let Zheng Xiujing eat it alone, but Zheng Xiujing waved her hand and gestured in a big circle, asking for a big bag.
The staff looked at Luo Junning, and when Luo Junning nodded, they sent two big bags of popcorn.
"Wow!"
Jryng Soo-jung cheered and hugged the two big bags in her arms, "Brother-in-law is the best!"
Luo Junning touched his cheek with a strange look: This girl, recovered so quickly?
