Chapter 450 Go back home
"You also know Girls' Generation." The driver tried to talk in English.

"Well, I know a little bit." Lu Yuan smiled.

The driver said in a very proud tone: "They are very popular in the United States. Many foreigners are their fans. They are very popular. Our whole family likes them, especially Taeyeon."

"I admire Yoona more." Liu Shishi interjected. She has been studying English recently and has made significant progress.

"Are you here for a trip?" he asked again.

"Yes, we are from China." Liu Shishi replied.

"I just guessed that because my grandma is of Chinese descent, I can understand a little bit of Chinese."

"Wow, really?"

"Of course, she is from Shandong."

Among the Chinese in South Korea, the largest number are from Shandong, and they are Mao. A large part of the reason is that they are close to each other across the sea.

When she heard this, she immediately switched to Mandarin.

"If you understand, you can call me, Li Mingzhe."

He said the last three words in Chinese, and the pronunciation was pretty standard.

Liu Shishi spoke Chinese mixed with English, rambling here and there, and waved to him when he got out of the car.

"Li Mingzhe, nice to meet you."

The driver stopped a taxi, turned around, and said another sentence in Chinese: "Nice to meet you too. You are very beautiful, like a big star."

"Haha, you are handsome too!"

Liu Shishi felt guilty for an inexplicable moment, but when he saw that the other party just said it casually, he praised it against his will.

But then, she hugged her boyfriend's arm again and whispered, "Did he recognize me?"

Lu Yuan looked at the hotel sign and said speechlessly: "What are you thinking about? It's not like we are in China. This eldest brother seems to have started at least forty. He is busy supporting his family every day and is exhausted. How can he find the time to pay attention to foreign stars like us."

"That's right." Liu Shishi was stunned.

"No, he knows so much about Girls' Generation."

"Forehead"

The flight from Beijing to South Korea takes about two hours, and it takes nearly an hour to get from the airport to the hotel.

Although South Korea is not a big place, the roads are very congested.

This time the two came to Korea, except that Liu Shishi was invited to attend IU's concert, they had no other plans.

A total of ten days, mostly just eating, drinking and having fun. If you are tired from playing and don’t want to move, you can sleep in the hotel.

After cleaning up, they rested in the hotel for a while. After coming out, the two of them were not in a hurry to play. They drove the car and prepared to finish lunch first.

Korean traditional food has always been deeply influenced by Chinese culture.

For example, the dumplings, rice cakes and other foods that Koreans like to eat were introduced to the Korean Peninsula from China.

A food called "Jing" that appeared in the ancient "Book of Songs" is commonly known as sauerkraut. It was introduced from China during the Three Kingdoms period and changed its name to kimchi.

People were rushing on the road, and Lu Yuan pressed the horn: "What do you want to eat?"

"Whatever." Liu Shishi opened the car window and stared at the handsome guys and beauties outside.

"Hand-Pulled Noodle?"

"Yeah" she hesitated for a few seconds: "Change it."

“How about troop pot?”

"Hey~" She deliberately learned about this before coming here, with a look of disgust on her face: "Isn't that just the legendary swill."

"That was before."

Well, in the early years, due to the war, the living conditions of the Korean people were poor. They found the leftover lunch meat from the US military in the trash can and put it into the pot with kimchi and instant noodles to cook, which became the so-called Troop pot.

"So, what are you going to eat?"

"casual."

Lu Yuan: "."

Finally, Liu Shishi chose a barbecue restaurant.

Apart from kimchi, Korea is famous for its barbecue.

The store is small, with people coming in and out, including many energetic young students.

Why can I be sure that he is a student? Because the clothes he wears, all hem-lined short skirts, are just like those in idol dramas.

It's a place where students can frequent, and the taste is guaranteed to be the same.

"Zizzizi."

The fat and tender meat gradually exudes an attractive golden color and is full of aroma.

Liu Shishi came back from the bathroom and shouted: "Oppa."

"What?" He turned the barbecue over and poked it.

"Oppa Lu, your appearance is also very popular in Korea."

Lu Yuan didn't even raise his head, busy with the barbecue.

"When I came back just now, I found that the little girl at the table near the door had been secretly staring at you. Hey, she's watching again."

Lu Yuan looked in the direction she said. There were three female students sitting at the same table. They looked about fifteen or sixteen years old. One of them looked at him and immediately lowered his head shyly.

He raised his eyebrows and didn't care much. Because of his appearance, he had been peeked at frequently since he was a child, so he was used to it.

"Why, you're jealous."

"Hmph, you are all mine, I'm not jealous." Liu Shishi muttered, tinkering with the barbecue tongs in his hand.

"I asked you, can you please slow down? Is there any translation like this? It's all rotten."

Lu Yuan took her tongs away and saw that the roast was almost done. He spread out a piece of lettuce leaf in his hand, put a piece of meat on it, smeared it with hot sauce, and put green pepper rings on it.

Wrap it well and put it in your mouth, biting off half of it.

"Goo-gee, gurgling."

Liu Shi held his cheek, stretched out his little tongue, licked his lips, and asked, "How does it taste? Is it delicious?"

Lu Yuan's expression was exaggerated and he said: "It's charred on the outside and tender on the inside. It's not bad."

Liu Shishi believed it and opened his mouth: "Ah!"

He smiled and stuffed the rest in his hand.

She chewed, frowned, and said: "Wherever it tastes delicious, the Korean dramas are all lies!"

After hearing this, Lu Yuan smiled even more.

In recent years, Korean dramas have become popular in mainland China, especially the broadcast of the food-themed "Dae Jang Geum", which has pushed Korean food to the top.

Mainland audiences are looking forward to Korean food as they watch the stars in the show look happy and eat kimchi, barbecue, ramen, etc. with exaggerated expressions.

In fact, just like this barbecue, the taste is quite satisfactory, and to be honest, it's not unpleasant to eat.

But no matter how delicious it is, it doesn't mean it's on the light side. Liu Shishi has a strong taste, so it's natural that he won't be used to it.

The two of them worked hard to finish off a table of food. To be precise, most of it went into Lu Yuan's mouth.

Liu Shishi sat on the chair and touched her belly in an indistinct manner. She was not full from food, but full from drink. This girl unexpectedly liked the soup here.

"Where are you going after eating?" Lu Yuan wiped his mouth.

"Walking around, no one knows me abroad anyway."

After enjoying two days in Europe at the beginning of the year, she fell in love with this foreign country and the feeling of letting herself go.

This was partly the reason why I agreed to Li Zhien's invitation this time.

When checking out, a Korean girl suddenly came over, holding a book, and asked excitedly: "Excuse me, are you Lu Oppa and Liu Ouni?"

Lu Yuan recognized the other person as the student who had just looked at him.

He wanted to deny it, but seeing the "Bu Bu Jing Xin" in his hand and the determination in his eyes, he had no choice but to nod.

"Ahhhhh." The girl screamed, turned around and said something in Korean to the other side.

Immediately, the remaining two students stood up and gathered around excitedly.

"Oppa."

"Unnie!"

The girl at the beginning said with a blushing face: "Oppa Lu, Ouni Liu, we are your fans, can we take a photo together?"

"Of course!" Lu Yuan agreed readily. Immediately, a certain girl took out a new Samsung mobile phone.

The five heads crowded together and took a group photo. After that, they handed over notebooks and pens, asking for an autograph.

Lu Yuan wrote his name and asked casually: "Have you all seen "Step by Step"?"

"Yes, we have watched it, and many classmates also like it. They all like it. It's so exciting."

Another girl turned to Liu Shishi and asked: "Onie, are you coming to Korea to hold a fan meeting?"

"Well" Miss Liu was thinking about how to make something up.

"Unnie, are you and Oppa dating?" The third girl was very direct.

Liu Shishi: "."

Lu Yuan almost laughed out loud and explained: "We were invited by IU to attend the concert."

Before the girl could continue gossiping, he changed the subject: "Aren't you going to school today?"

"Come on, we live nearby. We're tired of eating at school, so we'll go out to eat at noon."

"Oh...Okay. Here you go, come on!"

After signing, the two of them quickly ran away. Liu Shishi ran very fast on his short legs and deliberately kept a distance from him.

The three female students looked at their backs and whispered.

"Aren't Oppa and Oni really dating?"

"Oppa said no, but I think so."

"Guess what I just took?" The girl holding the Samsung mobile phone smiled proudly and pulled out a photo.

In the photo, Liu Shishi opened her mouth and stretched her neck forward. Lu Yuan handed the half-eaten barbecue to her mouth.

One person smiles sweetly, and the other person smiles indulgently.

"Haigu!"

One day in 2006, Zheng Xiaolong's wife Wang Xiaoping became obsessed with an online novel "The Legend of Zhen Huan".

Because it was so amazing, she recommended it to her husband and asked him to adapt it into a play.

"I won't do a palace-fighting drama even if I die!" Zheng Xiaolong refused many times, but to no avail, he had no choice but to accept Wang Xiaoping's offer and start reading.

Unexpectedly, I became addicted to watching it and couldn't help myself.

A few months later, Zheng Xiaolong made an appointment with the author Liu Lianzi.

At that time, the costume drama market was in a downturn.

Therefore, Zheng Xiaolong and Cao Ping, then director of the distribution department of the Beijing Television Art Center, purchased the copyright at a relatively low price with almost no competition.

The copyright of the novel has been in Zheng Xiaolong's hands for several years.

When the market trend changed and costume dramas revived, Zheng Xiaolong was keenly aware of the opportunity.

Cao Ping serves as the chief producer, he serves as the director, and Wang Xiaoping and Liu Lianzi co-write.

It also introduced 4 million investments from four companies including Beijing Television Art Center Co., Ltd. and Dongyang Huaer Film and Television Co., Ltd.

In 2010, the filming of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" officially started.

"The Legend of Zhen Huan" was successfully completed in early 2011, with a total of 76 episodes.

The first-round broadcast rights were purchased by Anhui Satellite TV and Dragon TV at a high price of 7000 million yuan each.

However, the online copyright has not been sold for a long time.

Hengdian.

Lu Yuan and Liu Shishi went to South Korea to play, but the studio did not rest.

In front of Dongyang Huaer Film and Television Co., Ltd., Lu Jing and Sun Peng got out of the car.

Sun Peng, who used to be the leader of the Hengdian group, had a good relationship with Lu Yuan when he was earning pocket money in Hengdian during college.

Later, Sun Peng's second-generation fellow from Turtle Coal opened a video website company. He left Hengdian and worked with the fellow, responsible for the copyright acquisition business.

However, because my website operation model was too advanced and the official charging model was launched early, the losses in the first two years were too heavy and I couldn't bear it anymore. It declared bankruptcy and Sun Peng also lost his job.

At the end of last year, he officially joined Lu Yuan's Blueprint Copyright Company and was responsible for copyright management together with Lu Jing.

Lu Jing was wearing a small black suit with a high ponytail, looking smart and smart.

She raised her head slightly and asked, "Old Sun, what is our mission today?"

"Making trouble!" Sun Peng replied.

"Who are you causing trouble for?"

"LeTV!"

"Yes, we are here to cause trouble today!" Lu Jing lowered his voice.

She was very unhappy.

Since my cousin established Blueprint Copyright Company, every time I went to the producers to purchase the online copyrights for movies and TV series, I would always encounter LeTV employees raising the price.

When her cousin bought "Bu Bu Jing Xin" and decided to film it, she realized the prospect of time travel dramas and set her sights on a novel called "The Legend of Zhen Huan in the Harem".

It turned out that the copyright of this novel had been bought by Zheng Xiaolong.

In the middle of last year, I learned that "The Legend of Zhen Huan" was about to start filming.

She read the original novel carefully and discussed with her cousin to purchase the online rights to the play if the price was right.

However, during the negotiation process, LeTV once again encountered price gouging.

The copyright of "The Legend of Zhen Huan" belongs to Huaer Film and Television Co., Ltd., and the person in charge is Meng Yu, who is a shrewd person.

At that time, "Before Dawn" starring Lu Yuan set a record on Qiyi.com in 7 days, with more than million views, ranking first among all online dramas on the market.

When Meng Yu saw it, he thought, OK, so he stopped selling it. He temporarily shelved the online copyright sales plan for "The Legend of Zhen Huan" and waited for the series to be completed before making a decision.

As a result, when "Bu Bu Jing Xin" became a hit, Qing palace dramas became popular, and the price of online copyrights skyrocketed.

Lu Jing knew that she couldn't afford it and had no intention of buying it, but she was petty and if she wasn't feeling well, LeTV wouldn't be able to make it easy either.

Isn’t it just raising the price? Who wouldn’t!

"The blueprint bid is 1950 million."

In an office of Huaer Film and Television Company, Lu Jing put down his cup and raised his hand proudly.

Meng Yu sat opposite, looking mechanically to the other side.

To Lu Jing's left is a middle-aged short-haired woman in her forties, from LeTV.

She gritted her teeth and glared at Lu Jing fiercely.

Nowadays, colleagues in the industry who are engaged in video websites basically know that Blueprint and Qiyi have reached a strategic cooperation, and they also know that the person behind Blueprint is the big star Lu Yuan.

While I admired the other party's vision, I also understood one thing. When the copyright price began to soar, this game and the cash flow of the blueprint were not qualified to be on the card table.

She knew very well that Lu Jing was bluffing to raise the price, but there was nothing she could do.

"2000 million!" She said the company's maximum purchase price.

Lu Jing hesitated for a moment. 2000 million was already close to the highest price in the market in her mind. What if she really lost her money?

The middle-aged woman from LeTV stared at her expressionlessly, her heart beating.

Seeing this, Lu Jing was a little unsure and planned to stop there.

Generally speaking, bidders tend to set their psychological prices at round numbers, and she estimated that LeTV's bottom line was about the same.

When he was hesitating, he saw the middle-aged woman from LeTV suddenly pinched her earlobe.

This is a habitual action of the other party.

Lu Jing had been competing with each other for several years, and she knew exactly what this action meant.

Usually after the other party seizes the copyright, this is an early celebration!

She pursed her lips and tried to add a little bit.

"2030 million!"

After calling out the price, Lu Jing was dumbfounded when he saw the other party's stunned expression.

No, you increase the price, otherwise what does it mean when you touch your earlobe?
It's over, her cousin will probably tell her to go back to her hometown.

Well, Lu Yuan has no time to care about her right now.
