Chapter 176: Punctured the last layer of window paper

Galaxy Hotel.

Jiang Liu leaned on the bedside: "It's too late during the Lunar New Year period, why not do it during the summer vacation?"

Boss Han's familiar voice came over the phone: "Only mature foreign film markets have summer vacations. In China, students have returned to their hometowns during the summer vacation. There are no audiences in the cinemas. We have to wait for a year to go to the 05 Lunar New Year season."

Jiang Liu was depressed.

Boss Han is afraid of the summer vacation, and would rather wait for "Monster" to meet the audience for a year than let the movie be released during the summer vacation.

"It's still too early for the release. It depends on the situation?" Jiang Liu suggested.

He intends to use "Monster" to go into the summer vacation and give it a try to see if he can open up a new schedule besides the Lunar New Year schedule-the summer schedule.

Although the Lunar New Year stalls are good, the sales are also fierce.

If he remembered correctly, at the end of 04 and during the Lunar New Year holiday in 05, there were two big productions, "Kung Fu" and "A World Without Thieves", plus "Monster", and the three companies were going to have their heads broken.

Instead of doing this, it is better to find another way to open up a new movie schedule.

What's more, China's first summer program was produced by Lao Mouzi in 04. In 04, China also had a big production called "House of Flying Daggers."

"Sure, let's wait until you return to China."

After hanging up the phone, Jiang Liu picked up the phone.

He speaks Korean very well and knows very few Korean characters.

But Son Ye-jin, like many little girls of this era, loves to send text messages. I don’t know if she is deliberately teasing him or what.

I sent two messages without even guessing, and Li Xing's phone rang on time.

International long-distance charges were expensive, but Jiang Liu didn't care. Li Yan, who was a good housekeeper, kept on calling once a week. He didn't have any business to do, but just talked about his family life and comforted his loneliness.

"Big things have happened in your circle recently."

As soon as he came up, Li Xin said in a mysterious and bluffing way.

"Our industry? The film and television industry, the entertainment industry? What big things can happen?"

"Do you know an actor named Li Yu?"

"I don't know, what's the matter?"

"This girl broke the news to the media, saying that the unspoken rules of the entertainment industry are rampant. She had improper relationships with more than 30 directors and producers because she was seeking roles, and she made more than 20 videotapes."

"I took a quick glance and saw Huang Jianzhong, Big Beard, the actor who played the Peacock Princess in "Journey to the West", Liu Xiaoqing, Miao Pu, Zhang Ziyi, Zhang Yimou and many other names."

Jiang Liu said in surprise: "Isn't she looking for death? These people are not allowed to eat her?"

"I don't know. Anyway, the entertainment industry has been very lively recently, attracting more attention than some major national events."

"How about the circle of fame and fortune and the circle of right and wrong? If you don't do anything serious all day long and just think about messy things, you'll be done with it sooner or later. Don't worry about them. Last time you heard someone said that money will depreciate if you leave it alone. Have you ever thought of using it for something? What?"

"I spent less than 42 yuan to buy 10 500-gram gold bars for my home. The gold will maintain its value!" Li Xing said with joy.

"what?"

Jiang Liu was shocked. He had no idea that Li Xi would have a golden idea.

Of course, you can definitely make money without losing money by buying gold.

According to Li Xing's price judgment, gold was only over 80 yuan per gram at this time. After more than ten years, gold would have appreciated three to four times, which could completely offset the depreciation problem caused by the excessive issuance of RMB.

But this investment wasted the opportunity provided to them by the times.

Li Xin's investment method of using gold to cope with the depreciation of banknotes is in line with her cautious attitude towards money.

In this case, Li Xin of Jiang Liule followed his temper and invested in gold.

Even if the country does not limit the weight of gold purchased by individuals, Li Xin cannot move gold anywhere as fast as he can make money.

After chatting for a few more words, the two ended the call, and He Jing's call came in shortly after.

"You have been in Los Angeles for more than a year and know Hollywood better than I do. What do you think we should do now?"

It fell out with Columbia, and the "Saw" sequel lost its distributor.

With more than 3000 million US dollars in box office share of "Saw" alone, and without the box office revenue of the sequel "Saw", it is still unclear whether Water Company can gain a foothold in Los Angeles. They need to make plans early.

"To establish a new company with the copyright of "Saw", Water Company only needs 51% of the new company's equity, and 49% of the equity will be sold to second- and third-tier Hollywood film companies. There should be film companies interested."

"If no film industry is interested, we will set up another company, buy 51% of the shares of Water Company at a very low price, and sell 49% of the shares of Water Company."

Jiang Liu scratched his head. This matryoshka-like business operation model sounded a bit blind to him. But according to He Jing's analysis, as long as he controls 51% of the shares of the last company, it is equivalent to holding the lifeline of all Shui No. [-] and Shui No. [-] companies.

The shell companies spiraled down in this way, and in the end, he was able to control all the companies with a very small amount of equity.

He Jing said that this method is very common abroad, and the rich almost all use this method, plus various funds to avoid the government's large inheritance tax.

Jiang Liu didn't know that the reason why Li Meijing's family was only allocated a sugar factory was because Samsung Group used this method to avoid the loss of property.

"The copyright of "Iron Man" will be transferred to One Center, and 39% of Netflix's equity will remain in Water Company as bait. The rest can be operated according to your ideas. I am not demanding too much. Water Company earns enough money for more than 20 of you. Just daily expenses.”

"Understood, I will set up a company first to see if I can catch fish with the copyright of "Saw"." He Jing responded with a smile.

"Well, hang up."

After taking a shower, Jiang Liu changed his clothes and left the room.

"Director Jiang, are you still going out so late?"

"I'm upset about the company's affairs, so I went out for a walk." Jiang Liu patted Lu Yi, opened his eyes and said nonsense.

Not far after leaving the hotel, Jiang Liu saw Son Ye-jin in a dress.

In the summer, there are many people in Han River Park. Son Ye-jin once made an excuse to visit Bae Doo-na, who was recognized. She has not dared to visit the crew of "Monster" in recent days. She occasionally asks him to have a meal or go shopping in the evening.

Jiangliu also accepts all comers.

As time went by, Son Ye-jin's little daughter attitude became more and more full, but the two never broke through the last layer of window paper.

As one of the Four Asian Tigers, South Korea’s nighttime economy is excellent. It’s past nine o’clock in the evening, and the bustling streets of Seoul are still crowded.

At Hyundai Yeouido Department Store, Son Ye-jin wore a mask and communicated with Jiang Liu while shopping from the first floor to the fifth floor until she entered a shoe store.

After being dazzled by picking and choosing, he was about to return empty-handed. Jiang Liu picked up a gray one-buckle belt and open-toe high-heeled sandals and said, "This looks good, give it a try."

"It's too expensive." Son Yejin covered her mouth and whispered.

Jiang Liu looked at the brand, it was just Gucci, and said: "It doesn't cost anything to try. Don't you have a headache and don't know what to wear when attending the Blue Dragon Film Awards for two months? If you can, just bear the pain and buy it."

The salary of Korean actors is much lower than that of domestic actors.

Song Kanghao is considered to be the leading film actor of the Mesozoic generation in South Korea, with masterpieces and box office success.

After "Memories of Murder" became a hit, the salary was only a few hundred thousand yuan, which was not comparable to Chinese actors of this era.

It can't even be compared with the little flowers and niches in later generations of China, where a film can easily earn tens of millions of yuan.

When "Parasite" won the Oscar, it attracted huge attention from Asian audiences. The salary of the "Parasite" crew was exposed by Chinese netizens. At that time, Song Kanghao's salary was more than 400 million yuan.

Song Kang-ho's salary is several hundred thousand yuan. As an actress, Son Ye-jin's salary is naturally two levels lower than that of male actors. It is estimated that her salary is only tens of thousands of yuan.

With Jiang Liu's support, Son Yezhen carefully put on her sandals with her right foot, looked in the mirror and took a few steps, showing a satisfied look.

"Is my vision okay?"

In front of the mirror, after Mrs. Wang boasted about selling melons, Jiang Liu opened his left hand with clear eyes and held another Gucci sandal in his right hand: "Come on, try it on your left foot too."

"Oppa doesn't want it, his feet are dirty."

Son Ye-jin put her waterfall-style hair over her red ears.

Jiang Liu pretended to be exaggerated and said, "Huh? Do you like sweaty feet as much as I do?"

"certainly not"

"What's so dirty? Come on."

Son Yejin couldn't resist, so she supported Jiang Liu's shoulders with both hands to stabilize her body, took her foot out of the sandal, and slowly handed it to Jiang Liu as if it was hot.

The numbness and heat on her feet made Son Ye-jin feel like a deer again after meeting Jiangliu.

Jiang Liu was thinking that if a girl is willing to let a man touch her feet, she basically agrees to sleep in the same bed by default.

230 million Korean won, more than 1 yuan, Jiang Liu took the initiative to pay the money. He was greedy for other people's bodies and wanted to have sex for nothing. He was somewhat unworthy of a man.

After visiting the mall, the two of them spent some time in Hanjiang Park.

In the dim light, the window paper was finally pierced. No one took the initiative to speak. A sweet kiss solved all the unspoken confessions.
