Chapter 198 Exciting Comics
(Thanks to "Diver Liu" for the 10,000 reward, which was provided in the third update. I really couldn't catch it yesterday. I took the opportunity to ask for clicks, subscriptions, collections, and rewards. I hope everyone can support the genuine version, thank you!)
"It's boring, it's really boring. I'd better go back and poach people!" Li Menglong stood up and left without even having to say goodbye.
Baldhead immediately chased after him in a hurry. These days, he was getting more and more aggressive in extorting debts. Here he shouted out that Li Menglong, the 100-million-dollar queen, was the first to come over to talk, so he had to seize this opportunity.
"Brother, I also know that the price is high, but I really need this money. Really, not even a cent is less than 80 million. You see, for my age..."
"If this is how you do business, then just compete with whoever is older." Li Menglong mocked: "Originally, I only planned to pay 10 million, but now I will add 5 million more to give you a cup of tea." , do you think it will work?”
Li Menglong's price was too high. It can be said that if the bald man didn't really want 80 million to pay off the debt immediately, he would have accepted it because it was really worthless, but now he had no choice but to hold Li Menglong silently.
Seeing this situation, Li Menglong was also embarrassed. He really wanted to buy it, but there was no way he could agree to the 80 million. It was simply robbery.
Fortunately, both parties want to buy and the other wants to sell, so they can sit down and talk: "Do you have any other resources?"
"Those artists and their song copyrights..."
"I don't want anyone except exid!" Li Menglong said firmly.
"Then I really have nothing, except myself and this company that has been running for almost ten years!"
"Have you been running this company for so long? Why is it so bad?"
"Of course it has been glorious. We once opened in Jiangnan, but who gave me these hands!" The bald man said a little desolately.
Li Menglong secretly thought about it. These days, he understood that opening a company, especially an entertainment company, is not that simple. He has to run through various departments, pay taxes, industrial and commercial affairs, and manage things left and right. The money is spent. Not to mention it is extremely troublesome.
Relatively speaking, company transfer is much simpler. It costs nothing and just transfers the ownership. Moreover, entertainment companies that are more than ten years old seem to have some tax benefits.
Li Menglong knew that the person opposite him was a mad dog and he would not miss any opportunity, so he did not think about taking advantage: "Add another 20 million, and your company will be transferred to me as a whole. Don't think about adding more money, no Agree to pull it down!”
The bald head already knew that Li Menglong was a real insider, and the price he offered was fair, so he acquiesced to his statement, but he still did not agree in the end: "Our company still has employees, and I also have an operating company. If you have experience, would you like to sign me up? 5 million a month is enough?”
"Our company temple is too small and may not be able to accommodate you!" Li Menglong would be damned if he asked for it.
"I want to discuss it with my family. The company's resources are here. You can take a look first!" The bald man asked Li Menglong to his seat and walked out.
Li Menglong estimated that the matter was almost done, so he browsed the contents on the computer with a dull mood. Most of the personnel, song copyrights, etc. were sold. After all, most of the artists had to be sold together when they left.
It was pretty much what he expected, except for a business license and exid, it had no value. Li Menglong glanced at the script folder for the last time and clicked in.
This company has invested in several TV series before, so this department has been acquiring scripts one after another. Of course, the opportunities have not been in operation in the past year or two.
And the quality of each one was terrible. Li Menglong was speechless as he looked at the outlines and synopses of each one. When he got to the last few folders, Li Menglong paused for a long time.
"I'm really sorry. There are other people coming to negotiate with me this afternoon. It's up to you whether you want to increase the price or wait for my news!" Bald Head came in and said.
Li Menglong could see the other party's confidence, and it was estimated that someone really wanted to negotiate. If it was ten minutes ago, Li Menglong might have been nagging him for a while, adding some price, but now he just walked out with the fat man.
The two of them walked directly to exid's practice room. Outside the door, Li Menglong gritted his teeth and suppressed his excitement and hit the fat man's chest: "I want to book this company!"
Ignoring the resentful expression on the fat man's side, Li Menglong pushed the door open and walked in. Because they knew the recent actions of Li Menglong and the fat man, several girls were more in awe of Li Menglong. "It doesn't have to be like this. From now on, everyone who eats in the same pot will be my sister. You should pack up all your personal belongings now. Where do you live now?" Li Menglong asked.
But then he didn't listen to what they said, and directly ordered the fat man: "Find them a house near where you live. It needs to be in a regular community, with one bedroom and one living room. I don't have much money now, so I can afford it." That’s it! ”
Solzhi and the others are living in a basement now, so after hearing Li Menglong's domineering words, although it is a one-bedroom apartment, it is still a regular building and may have a kitchen and a balcony.
"You can go and look for it now. If you find it, move immediately!" I asked for the fat man's bank card and gave him 20 million first. After all, houses in Korea are such a scam, and a security deposit is probably more than 10%. , as for the rent, about 50w is enough.
Although he didn't know what happened to Li Menglong, he hadn't seen Li Menglong act so urgently for a long time. He happily walked out with his sisters, while Li Menglong asked the fat man for the phone number of the debt collector.
Sometimes, many quick-effective methods are a bit shameful, but Li Menglong didn't harm the bald president. After all, if he really wanted to repay his debt, Li Menglong also helped him pay part of it.
He directly gave the other party an upper limit of 50 million. As for the final transaction price, Li Menglong didn't care. In other words, he could get a lot of benefits from this matter and at the same time generate income for the company. Why not do it? Woolen cloth.
Li Menglong didn't care where he was running around. He took a taxi to yesterday's barbecue restaurant and then drove directly to his home. Just like Li Shunkyu, he couldn't wait to pull out the computer. However, Li Shunkyu usually lay on the sofa, while Li Menglong Sitting on the ground.
Then he started frantically searching for relevant knowledge about Korean comics. He wanted to systematically examine this industry from a high enough perspective.
Yes, Li Menglong finally found a few comic adaptation rights in the company's folder, and he didn't know the quality of the comics, but the plot of the text version was very interesting to him, at least more than all the scripts he had come across so far. Much stronger.
However, I feel less optimistic after reading all the way. South Korea’s comic industry is quite developed, and there are several popular works every year.
The first successful attempt at comic book adaptation was the TV series Full House, and the most successful film attempt was 2010's "Moss," a work that gained both word-of-mouth and box office success. Then comic book adaptations completely entered the fast lane.
However, due to restrictions on comic readers and the difficulty of adaptation, the most popular comics have always been those Mary Sue pure love comics. In the past year or two, costume comics have also been on the rise.
However, the themes of the comics Li Menglong saw were a bit vague, and they could barely be considered realistic comics. Such comics themselves were not popular, and the only realistic plots that could be considered attractive were to be ignored in comics.
Li Menglong let the computer fall aside. From the first screen saver to the automatic shutdown, Li Menglong kept rubbing his cheeks with his hands. He was a little embarrassed.
Let’s not mention the difficulty of adapting movies and TV series from comic books. Just saying that this investment is a bit too casual for an entertainment company like theirs. You must know that in his and Lee Soon Kyu’s plan, exid will be given first. Release an album, and then...
But he was a little reluctant to give up. He really liked the creativity and plots of those comics, at least they were much better than the same old male-female love now!
Li Menglong hesitated again and again, and decided to leave this issue to everyone for discussion. Fatty's answer was extremely simple: "Huh? Why do you ask me about this kind of thing? Just make up your mind. I'm still moving things. There will be a moving party in two days. Ah!”
The phone call came to Lee Soon Kyu again. Several girls were eating backstage now. Because it was a family concert, although the girls were the biggest names, they only sang two more songs, which was completely bearable in terms of physical strength.
So a few people who were not so nervous put on makeup in advance and ate bananas in the background: "Manga? I understand this! Dragon Ball or One Piece? Naruto is fine too! If it is for children under 3 years old like Frog Sergeant, You’d better find Xiaoxian!”
"Stop it, seriously!" Li Menglong then reported the names of several comics and asked Li Shunkyu to search for them first to see the results.
After hanging up the phone, Li Soonkyu made a face. Was Li Menglong asking her for her opinion? He was obviously waiting for her confirmation so that he could make the final decision.
Lee Soon Kyu was not disgusted with this situation at all. Instead, he was a little happy because he was becoming more and more like one of his own. He directly composed a text message to the effect of: You are the best! Your ideas won’t fail either! Believe in yourself! I am waving the flag and cheering for you behind you!
The general idea is almost the same, but the wording is much more beautiful after polishing, and then it is set to be automatically sent after 20 minutes. Then I immediately picked up the PSP. I just played against Kim Taeyeon and only won nine out of ten games. It is simply a sin. Forgive!
As for comics? Please, what does Lee Soon Kyu have to do with her. Anyway, Li Menglong thought it was good. He was already accompanying her to realize such a somewhat unrealistic dream. It was just a trivial matter for Li Shunkyu to go crazy with him. Even if he said no, it wouldn't cost much more. Now they are still fighting. More important!
The uneasy Li Menglong received Li Soonkyu's text message. He read this short sentence several times and silently strengthened his thoughts.
"I agree, let's do it!"
