Chapter 406 The Shawshank Redemption
"We are a South Korean Netflix company. With large investment and large production, the popularity of "The Devotion of Suspect X" will rise significantly." The person on the phone also had confidence in the price. He is Quan Junan Smita, the head of Netflix South Korea’s business unit.
On the phone, Quan Junan was arrogant.
Even if the South Korean film and television industry criticizes him behind the scenes, saying that he is a traitor for leading Netflix to attack South Korea's local film and television industry, it is currently struggling to support it. In one or two years, the South Korean film and television industry will become a colony of Netflix.
But Quan Junan believes that one general can achieve great success, and besides, South Korea is also dominated by American soldiers in reality, wouldn’t it be more appropriate to be dominated by Netflix in film and television?
So it's okay for him to be arrogant.
"Sorry, we do not package Asian film and television copyrights. If you want to purchase copyrights, you can purchase them separately in South Korea, Neon, Kingdom of Thailand and other regions." Yao Xiaoju said.
"You want to reject Netflix South Korea? Are you rejecting Netflix, the most powerful streaming media in the world!" Quan Junan felt unbelievable.
This forced the toad to yawn - so loudly! Yao Xiaoju's mood is still stable, after all, he is doing it to make money.
He responded in a neither humble nor condescending manner, "Your company purchased the copyright of our "The Devotion of Suspect X" because it must have believed that the popularity and plot of the book are suitable for adaptation. Therefore, it is mutually beneficial and not a charity."
"Otherwise, I would doubt the professionalism of Netflix South Korea." Yao Xiaoju added.
It is true that the works produced by South Korean Netflix are being massacred in Asia, even in China. But in the face of the neon dominance of animation, little effect has been achieved...
Therefore, after analysis by the data department of Netflix South Korea, the method given is: purchase the works of Chinese writers.
South Korea buys Chinese works for the purpose of conquering neon?
It sounds like divine gold.
"Teacher Gu Lu's works have a certain appeal in Neon, but they still need to be produced by our South Korean Netflix." Quan Junan said, "The price of 400 million won is already very high, and the Asian copyrights are included..."< br>
Yao Xiaoju didn't want to listen to what the other party was talking about anymore, and what he said was as if his brain had been hit with a stick.
Are you kidding me? 400 million Korean won is only two million soft girl coins. Let’s talk about the price. The short story “Yesterday’s Park” was purchased by a domestic production company for 1.5 million.
"Then sir, let me think about it again. If I still have something to do here, I'll hang up first." Yao Xiaoju hung up. His experience is that if you don't talk to sick people, you are more likely to be infected.
As soon as I hung up the phone, the company called me again. The effect of King Gulu's land reclamation outside is very good...
He went to three countries in seven or eight days and was really tired. As soon as he returned home, he sent the heroine abroad. Therefore, he decided to do nothing and just rest and recuperate for two days.
If you don't rest now, when will you wait? Peking University will start school in one week. At the opening ceremony, although he had shied away from his identity as the representative of the old students, the tree was still but the wind was not stopping. Even though those who can get into Peking University are all top academics, Gu Lu's popularity among students is too high. Therefore, every year when new students enter the school, he will instantly become a national treasure, and the new students will come to watch.
"I'm about to be a senior in college. Zhou Lin is starting graduate school at Peking University, and Tangyuan seems to be going to graduate school too... Although I don't have to find a job for internship, the think tank, new book publishing, and copyright development are already very time-consuming." Gu Lu He immediately shook his head and said, "What are you thinking about? Don't think about work during your break."
Bang bang——
Gu Lu opened the door. Outside was not the delivery boy he imagined, but the curly-haired property manager.
The reason she was the curly-haired aunt was because every time Gu Lu met her, the latter said she wanted to perm the hair on her head into curls, but she never took action.
"Auntie, what are you doing?" Gu Lu asked.
"It's like this. Everyone knows that Teacher Gu Lu is a famous writer, so there is a celebration event in our community." The curly-haired aunt said, "I made a special trip to ask Teacher Gu Lu if he would like to sign up for a program?"
"I won't sign up for the show. School is about to start, and I'm very busy with my studies." Gu Lu said that he would rather be a spectator.
This reason is unexplainable! Aunt Curly Hair agreed very much, "Study is important. School is important, so I won't disturb Teacher Gu Lu's rest."
Perhaps the current property fees in the community are too high, so some activities are organized for residents every year. I remember that Gu Lu was in Fog City before. Not to mention the annual activities, even the elevator was broken and the management said they had no money to repair it.
After the property management staff left and the door closed, Gu Lu immediately turned on his phone to see where his takeaway was.
As a salty fish, I ordered a meal of snacks but no staple food, and also bought a few bottles of beer.
It was the first time I had a drink alone at home, and I was exhausted both mentally and physically.
Looking at the APP, the delivery man was only a few dozen meters away, and Gu Lu was guarding the door.
After a while, the knock on the door came again, and the supplies delivered by the knight in yellow arrived.
The moment he took the drink in his hand, [Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter] [Transformation] [The film adaptation is the most perfect in Hollywood] turned into "A Tale of Four Seasons".
Details: A collection of novels by American writer Stephen King. There are four stories in total, namely: "Spring Hope: The Shawshank Redemption", "Summer Down: The Nugget", "The Autumn of Innocence: The Corpse" and "Rebirth in Late Winter: Breathe - Breathe - Breathe - Breathe". Except for Rebirth in Late Winter, the other three stories were all adapted into movies.
So beer? Gu Lu knocked on the bag in his hand. The beer must be from Shawshank. And it should be the movie that the last tag refers to.
I also drank with friends before, why didn’t it trigger? Gu Lu thought for a moment and came up with the answer. When he goes out to eat and drink, he must pay the bill after eating, which means that the beer does not belong to him during the meal.
Very reasonable.
"Is there something wrong with the beer?" The delivery boy was also a little worried, as he bumped into someone on the way.
"Oh, no, no." Gu Lu said immediately, "It's troublesome."
The delivery boy breathed a sigh of relief. It was working time now, so he was racing against time. He lowered his head and watched other orders leave.
Gu Lu put the snacks and beer away and gave the delivery man a good review. He was trying to compensate for the fact that he had frightened others.
"When sleepiness comes to a pillow, can I do both?" Gu Lu thought.
Don't think that this novel became famous because of the movie. After obtaining the work, Gu Lu naturally realized the achievements of the work in his mind.
"A Tale of Four Seasons" is Stephen King's 10th work, another career peak after "Carrie". The publisher was not optimistic at all, because Stephen King had written about gods and ghosts before, but the four stories had no ghosts at all, and the style change was too big. And he himself didn't expect it. After all, the stories about spring, summer, autumn and winter were all made up later. At first, he randomly found four works and combined them into one book.
The result? Once published, it topped the New York Times bestseller list, selling 280,000 copies for the first time that year. Moreover, "Story of Four Seasons" has been listed as a teaching material by the English departments of many universities in various countries. To put it more bluntly, it is a literary and commercial success.
"When you become a think tank expert, your first mission must be 100% successful!" Gu Lu is taking another path.
Plan A will export Da Ying through the Cthulhu series. Plan B will be exported to the United States through "Tales of Four Seasons".
For example, in the article "Shawshank Redemption", Andy used to help jailer Hali to avoid taxes reasonably, and exchanged three cans of beer for each of his colleagues (inmates). If I want to mention it slightly, what about this beer brand?
[So in 1950, we, a group of prisoners who were responsible for renovating the roof, sat in a row on the roof at ten o'clock in the morning before the end of the work, drinking beer. The beer was the most severe one in the history of Shawshank Prison. Supplied by the jailer. Snow beer was lukewarm, but it was still the best tasting beer I've ever had in my life. We sat there drinking beer, feeling the sun shining warmly on our shoulders...]
Why is it a snowflake? It just so happens that the beer Gu Lu is holding is a snowflake, but "snowflakes are warm" is inexplicably harmonious when placed here. Fortunately, it's not Bravely Entering the End of the World, otherwise it would be weird to put it in.
Then add some Chinese elements into it...
Action - action, first write "Color of the Stars" and "Call of Cthulhu", and then "The Shawshank Redemption". Gu Lu walked back to the study and turned on the computer. When his fingers touched the keyboard, he froze. That’s not right, brother!
Today and tomorrow are just salty fish, don’t talk about work.
We ate well and drank well that night, and then went to bed after drinking.
Another day, the sky was gray, as if it was raining, and it seemed that I had not woken up.
If you develop a habit, you will wake up at nine o'clock even on days when you don't go to bed at eight o'clock in the morning.
Run on the treadmill for a while to activate your body, and then look at the sky outside, which is even grayer. Now it didn't look like Sijiucheng was awake, but like he had fainted.
"The weather is really bad. I won't go out for fun today." Gu Lu looked at his phone.
It takes about ten hours to fly from 49 cities to Paris, and it’s time for the heroine to arrive.
[Gu Jiayu: Brother, I’m here. I also saw Uncle Dibo who picked him up at the airport. Brother, you should be asleep at this time.
Gu Jiayu: Haha, Uncle Hadibo insisted that I call him brother. He said that our relationship with you is that of half-brothers. ]
The message sent at around one o'clock in the morning, since I met Dibo, it means that the luggage has been packed.
Gu Lu replied to the heroine.
Then I went out for a walk and bought all the ingredients for lunch. Gu Lu feels that young people rarely cook at home because they just don’t have time.
Take Gu Lu himself as an example. He wanted to get something to eat today. He would stir-fry a scallop, then a rabbit, and finally stir-fry shredded potatoes with shredded ginger.
With three dishes, Gu Lu worked from ten o'clock to around one o'clock in the afternoon before he took the first bite of the dish.
You usually go to school and work, how can you have time? And if you just want to stir-fry a dish and eat something, wouldn’t it be more convenient and convenient to order takeout?
After eating, Gu Lu estimated the time difference in France. Dibo should get up and make a call.
After a few calls, the call was connected.
The two of them exchanged greetings with each other. It took a few minutes to talk about serious matters.
"Gu, are you still worried about what I'm doing? My sister arrived in Paris last night, and I prepared a family dinner for her today," Dibo said.
If the previous relationship only arranged a small villa, then now there must be a housekeeper and a vehicle for travel.
The Pengpang family is a "political mountain". The family assets are not as exaggerated as those of the wealthy tycoons, but it is very simple to spend hundreds of thousands of euros every year to arrange for Gu Lu's sister.
And to make friends with a future great writer, this amount of money is really not much.
"Thank you very much." Gu Lu thanked him.
"Our relationship, do you need to say thank you?" Dibo is still very fluent in Chinese. "Gu, have you received my cheese? I don't know which kind you like to eat, so I sent every best-selling variety. Some. Tell me what you like and I’ll send it over next time. If you don’t like it, you can give it away. There are so many cheese flavors, there are always one or two that are not suitable.”
You are so considerate. Gu Lu's current expression is very exciting.
"I actually can't eat so much by myself..."
Before he finished speaking, Dibo on the other end of the phone interrupted, "Gu, I know you are being polite. But the relationship between us does not need to be so polite. Cheese is the most beautiful thing in France, so..."
I am a cheese promotion ambassador. Gu Lu felt that these words were very familiar and quickly stopped him from continuing to chant sutras.
Okay, we had a simple exchange again, and the other party recommended several methods of cooking cheese and delicacies, and Dibo only stopped teaching because he had something to do.
"There is so much left, who should I give it to-" Gu Lu thought and thought of a good idea.
He himself is the honorary president of the May Fourth Literary Society of Peking University and seems to have made little contribution. He even went to our literary club to serve as a judge for an essay competition. Because of his personal reputation, others did not dare to say anything.
"These cheeses are not available in China. Strictly speaking, they are really good things." The price is really not cheap. Let's talk about cheese brands that can be imported. The average grade of 140g is around thirty or forty.
The ones Dibo sent were definitely of high quality, and King Gulu thought they could be used as prizes for the May Fourth Literary Club’s activities.
He contacted Zhao Xin, the president of the May Fourth Literary Society, and an agreement was quickly reached. Gu Lu is unknowingly promoting cheese?
The salted fish time on the second day was a bit of a failure. After all, Gu Lu endured it very hard. He was the kind of person who had a plan and wanted to implement it immediately.
At night, Gu Lu refused to answer several calls.
Gu's mother and Gu's father were in Sijiu City. Gu Lu hadn't seen them since the Capital Airport. How should I put it? He is just an "outsider" and it is his original fault that he did not forgive his parents, right?
If his parents could let the original person come back to life and tell him, then they could consider something... Gu Lu hung up the phone and told him that his place of origin was Wudu.
Gu Lu had blocked the phone numbers of those two people a long time ago, and he probably would call from another mobile phone number.
The children they raised for others have grown up and are looking for jobs, so now they want people to come and follow King Gulu.
How could such a good thing happen!
After resting and recuperating, Gu Lu started a crackling coding mode, with an exaggerated efficiency of 20,000 words a day.
Call of Cthulhu, Color of the Stars, and The Shawshank Redemption were completed in three days. After all, it is very fast to copy the text. The only difficulty is how to appropriately add Chinese elements to complete the important task of the think tank vanguard.
No need to say anything when sending the first two articles to Yao Xiaoju, but the last one requires notes.
[Brother Yao, please help me find a newspaper in America to serialize it and do an experiment. The third part was serialized in the United States. ]
Yao Xiaoju saw the text message first, and he thought, is he going to attack the American market?
