King of Hollywood

>. Chapter 95. What a Big Hand

Receptions are very boring. Such receptions are very common in Los Angeles. Adrian receives invitations almost every day. Even if you eat too much delicious food, you will feel greasy, not to mention this is a plate of things. www .. Although these wealthy and expensive guests in South Korea are well-dressed, although Li Jianxi, Zheng Mengjiu and Gu Benmao have all studied in the United States, despite the great westernization of South Korea, an awkward feeling has always lingered .

To say that this is a prejudice brought by previous lives, but the Japanese rarely give Adrian such a feeling. Maybe it has something to do with the arrogant character of the Koreans who broke out. In any case, Japan was considered a second-rate power in the first half of the 20th century, and left an extremely bad but can not be ignored in World War II. Pen, and what's in Korea?

For a thousand years, it will not be said that it is undoubtedly the most comfortable to be a country of China. Borrowing Japanese influence to get rid of China's influence, it is quickly occupied by Japan and then annexed. After World War II finally became independent, the Americans came immediately, and then a war on the peninsula was finally divided into two countries. It can be said that before the Korean War, the country and people on this peninsula had no sense of existence.

So, after spending decades developing the economy, it is natural to want to show ourselves all over the world, and it is no wonder that there are things like squabbling and other things like squatting. It ’s a pity that they are not as good as the Japanese, whether they are Westernization or tradition. For the simplest example, if the so-called international metropolis of Seoul does not pass through the Han River, it will separate the rich Jiangnan District and the Jiangbei District of the poor kiln It will never be much better than Brasilia, let alone Tokyo, and Adrian will feel awkward and normal.

However, after all, he is a guest, and he also wants to observe the heads of these three groups, and stay awkward.

Those who can become the head of the big group are not fuel-saving lamps. At the beginning, the receptionist first gave a few words as Gu Benmao, then invited Li Jianxi to come forward, and Li Jianxi suddenly launched Adrian after finishing the speech. And invited him in public to speak a few words. Faced with countless applause, Adrian must not refuse, but had to smile and came to the crowd.

The two old foxes came to this with only two abacuses. The people who can participate in the reception hosted by the head of lg are either rich or politicians in South Korea. They just took this opportunity to suggest to them that Samsung and lg have started cooperation with the American media. To expand their influence. At the same time, you can also see Adrian's response. Although they know that he is the chairman of the board of directors of the media, after all, they are separated by the Pacific Ocean and have never been contacted. Taking this opportunity to learn about his personality traits, it is certainly beneficial to negotiate the next.

In this case, how could Adrian disappoint them, although they talked wildly, they did not have any substantial content. Nonsense is a necessary skill for everyone who wants to achieve their own business. In this situation, if you say something wrong, promise something that should not be promised, or convey the wrong message, sometimes it is fatal. Yes, the US election is the most typical example.

It is interesting that although Li Jianxi, Gu Benmao, and Zheng Mengjiu came together to meet him, the two previous ones spoke Adrienne after speaking at the reception, but they did not care about Zheng Mengjiu, apparently there was also between them. contradiction. If you think about it, Samsung and LG are both in the electronics industry. Although their peers are rivals, it is easier to be consistent when they are external. Zheng Mengjiu separated from Hyundai this year. Although Hyundai Motor became the only one in Korea after Daewoo went bankrupt. There are some internationally renowned car brands. After all, the time is short, and they can't sit on an equal footing with the two old guys.

This is exactly the case, Zheng Mengjiu is anxious to enter the North American market. If he can open the situation, it will undoubtedly be a heart-tightening agent for him and Hyundai Motor Group, who have just separated. I believe that many of these people present laughed at him in the heart. Hyundai Group managed so well, but jumped out and wanted to split up. As a result, not only the family business was weakened, but its own status fell a lot. .

But in Adrian's eyes, this is a good move. The Zheng family is just following the wisdom of the Zhuge family in the Three Kingdoms. If the memory is right, another year and a half, Zheng Mengjiu's elder brother Zheng Mengxian should jump off the building, so Hyundai Group also plummeted and was acquired. He collected relevant information before coming to South Korea, and after confirming with memory, he also wanted to take this opportunity to dig a modern one, but gave up after careful consideration, which is a deep water.

In simple terms, after Kim Tae-chung became president, he spared no effort to crack down on the chaebol and promote reconciliation with North Korea. Therefore, he offended many people, and the chaebols did not want to truly reunite with North Korea. Support, various profits must be thinned a lot, and it is difficult to say who has the government's dominant power. Such examples have been countless in history.

Therefore, when Jin Dazhong stepped down, those companies that were closely related to him must be liquidated. For example, the development of the modern group of King Kong Mountain, plus the founder Zheng Zhou died in early 2001. There is no powerful person, and bad luck is also expected. in. However, Zheng Zhouyong is also a smart man. He probably saw something in the year of 00, so he defaulted on the move of several sons to split up. Even if something happened to the eldest son, the Zheng family could survive.

Adrian relied on the advantages of prophecy, so he went to South Korea to inspect and plan many things in person without even having enough confidence in Samsung, LG, and Hyundai himself. forget it. South Korea is a small place with strong national sentiment. The relationships between the major companies are complicated. They are also away. If they rush in, they might overturn in the gutter.

Speaking of which, I would also like to thank Zheng Mengjiu. If it were not for that rumor, Adrian might not have some modern relevant information in his memory.

Well, the topic is to answer the reception, Adrian is chatting with several young Junyan introduced, as for the content, it is what men like-

"Simply put, western women have a three-dimensional beauty. When we see them, the geometric beauty is very attractive, but the disadvantage is that the lines are slightly harder and lack of softness. Oriental women are just the opposite, lacking three-dimensional Feeling, but it gives a nice and gentle feeling, which is also very attractive. If Western women are a raging fire, they can melt men with enthusiasm, then Oriental women are a clear stream of water, soft enough It's immersive and can't help it. "Adrian talked.

He didn't want to talk about the purpose of coming to Korea and he wasn't entangled by those Yingying Yanyan, so he had to talk to a group of young people about the same size-from the beginning, many women came to chat, but Adrian was nothing. With appetite, he even regretted leaving Ivanka in the hotel, otherwise it would definitely reduce a lot of trouble.

"It's very nice of you to speak, Mr. Cowell, our outstanding Korean women are indeed the kind of gentle women." A young man said at this time, but this method of flattering was too straightforward Moreover, I didn't see how good the English language was, and I also had a taste of self-promotion and boasting that Adrian kept shaking his head in his heart.

"It really deserves to be a romantic person," a voice sounded, "your comments on women in the East and West made me very agree. Www .."

Turning around, Zheng Mengjiu walked over with a smile on his face, and several young people around Adrian respectfully respected him.

"Of course, this is not absolute. There are also passionate girls among Eastern women, and western women also have gentle and pleasant girls, depending on their individual aesthetics." Adrian said calmly.

"Indeed, in the final analysis, it depends on your own interests." Zheng Mengjiu smiled, saying nothing about Hyundai's seeking cooperation from the American media group, and then turned to movies and TV after a few words.

"By the way, Mr. Cowell, the development of our Korean entertainment industry has also made significant progress in the past two years. As Hollywood's most well-known director and producer, he may be able to provide some applicable opinions," he said.

"Well ... Frankly, Mr. Zheng, I'm afraid I can't help anything. For the Asian entertainment industry, I only have a deep understanding of Japan and Taiwan, and other places just know it." Adrian resigned.

"Not at all?" Zheng Mengzhun immediately revealed his disappointment, and with him taking the lead, the young people around him were more or less indifferent.

What does this old man want to do? Adrian is a bit strange. After thinking about it, I will find an example: "Okay, I don't know much about your entertainment circle, so I can only talk about it on a large level ... before I come, I also collect After reading all kinds of information in Korea, I remember there was a very popular TV series called "Blue Love" in the past year, right? "

"Yes." A young man answered immediately, Zheng Mengyuan narrowed his eyes slightly.

Adrian didn't realize it, but said it on his own words: "When I arrived in Seoul, there was a TV station rebroadcasting, so I took a few time to watch a few episodes. Most of the plots were based on the brief introduction. Frank , Westerners wo n’t like it, but the lengthy plot will make people shut out, not to mention all kinds of completely different ideas. However, for Asian audiences, this is really a good TV show. The handsome male lead has a beautiful female lead, and the plot contradictions are not intense but continuous, but they are very euphemistic, and it is easy to attract people-especially those housewives-to follow along. Add the image of the female lead Very good, the actors are also very well shaped, and women can easily substitute themselves when watching, which adds another level of guarantee to the ratings. "

Speaking here in a breath, he paused for a moment before saying: "So, I personally think that if this plot can be made into a model and given different packaging, it will be in Asia at least in the next three or four years It has been widely welcomed, and if properly promoted, it can also grab some markets from Japanese TV dramas and even surpass them. Of course, how to make this model more vital depends on the producers. "

Anyway, this is the routine of the future of Korean dramas. It does n’t matter if you say it now. In addition, it ’s more like pulling Japanese out. They should like to listen.

"It is indeed a miracle director. Just a few words point out the pros and cons of it," Zheng Mengzhun smiled and patted his hands gently. "It is indeed a well-known romantic figure. Even if it is a TV series, you can go from the perspective of a woman analysis."

This old guy ... wait! Adrian frowned slightly, and there seemed to be something wrong.

"So what about the movie?" Zheng Mengzhun replied immediately, looking as if it was not wrong, "We just released a movie called" My Savage Girlfriend "earlier this month, which was very popular and broke the local comedy movie Box office records, I don't know if Mr. Cowell cares. "

Adrian raised his eyebrows slightly, and he finally realized what was wrong. Zheng Mengjiu was the head of Hyundai Motor and not the producer of a movie or TV series. How could he be interested in talking to himself about this? Is it ...

"Yes, I know," he kept his smile. "Although I haven't seen it, I know a little bit based on the content profile and the original online lady. I think it is inevitable that this movie is popular. If possible, I hope Mr. Zheng can introduce the producer to my film company, and maybe try a US version. "

In this statement, except for two or three young people who were a little dazed, everyone who knew Hollywood showed a surprised look, and Zheng Mengjiu was no exception. They both know the name of the miracle director, and they also know that his vision in the movies can be praised by him ...

"Don't worry, I'm not sure if it is equally popular in the United States," Adrian smiled slyly. "The point is that the tradition of strong men and weak women in Asia has always been ingrained, so when such an upside-down movie After coming out, it will attract a lot of eyeballs. In addition, this is not a simple story of a cowardly man and his savage girlfriend. When the heroine's new boyfriend and the heroine's new boyfriend told the other party's precautions over and over again, the whole plot was abrupt Sublimation, everything that the actor has done before seems to be extremely angry, being bullied and not even returning his hand, all for the heroine, and the man's tolerance was immediately displayed, thus feeling countless audiences. "

The young people around him gave a clap again for this analysis-whether they care or not-but Zheng Mengjiu seemed to be absent-minded, and Adrienne, who saw in his eyes, chuckled in his heart.

"Of course," he raised his voice slightly and looked at the old man. "The actor who plays the heroine is the key. It is easy to play the heroine, but to play the heroine requires a very powerful and character, and at the same time very Pretty girl. Although I've only seen posters, trailers and some clips posted on the Internet, I know she does a great job. "

Zheng Mengjiu blinked, then smiled, and seemed to understand something.

It seems that they have done a good job of collecting their own intelligence. In this case ... Adrian laughed softly, and then remembered the rumor about Zheng Mengjiu from the previous life.

"Since we talked about movies, and by the way, about music," he said immediately, "I also don't know much about Korean pop music. I only know a few groups, so let's talk about this. In my opinion The future is an era of pursuit of personality. Although the group is now hot, everyone can represent one aspect, thereby attracting all kinds of likes, but decline is inevitable. However, the biggest feature of Koreans is unity, so male groups may still have It can be developed in about five or six years, and women's groups are still more solo, but if they operate properly and are good at summing up, there will be no new popular groups after these years. "

After another pause, Adrian once again looked to Zheng Mengjiu: "In those female groups, the independent and dancing female singers will be more attractive, for example ... let me think, it seems to be called nkl, The captain among them is very good. "

"I'm sure I can get your comment." Zheng Mengjiu said calmly, which slightly disappointed Adrian who wanted to discover something.

"Don't rush into North America. This is my suggestion for Korean pop music. First grab the Asian market from Japan a little bit, and after you have set up your basic market, then consider the whole world." Then ended the topic of entertainment.

So which one would you choose?

The reception was over, and it was almost eleven o'clock when we arrived at the hotel suite. Ivanka was not asleep and was busy with a laptop.

"I'm so glad to see you, Ini, I'm exhausted." Adrian took off his coat and pulled open his collar with a smile. He would kiss her when he came over.

With a snap, a book was in front of him, and his mouth kissed it.

"Participating at the reception will exhaust you, so what about me who has been collecting and comparing information?" Ivanka hummed without raising his head, then drew back the book.

"You know, cocktail receptions are always boring," Adrian touched his mouth. "How I miss you, I miss you ..."

With that, he went to her with a hippie smile, and those hands went straight to the full pair of Ivanka. Who knew that the little secretary immediately got up and let him go.

"Don't forget it!" Ivanka turned the laptop in front of him, with a little glory.

"Oh, hell." Adrian sighed, looked at her unwillingly, and stood up. "So, what's the conclusion?"

Some cheerful little secretaries immediately smiled, and then returned the laptop to themselves: "According to the information gathered during this period, and the comparative analysis of professionals ~ www.novelmtl.com ~ Samsung's electronic components in the industry It is true that the waters are at the top level, and only a few can compete with them. However, their problems are not small and they cross too many industries. If they cannot concentrate resources on the electronics industry, they can easily be caught up. "

"Soon they will adjust." Adrian also became serious, and he groaned for a moment and looked at the time. "Well, Claude should be up too."

He immediately picked up the phone and walked near the door to make a call. What he wanted to say was simple, standard!

Just then, the doorbell suddenly jingled.

Adrian was a little surprised and looked at Ivanka and walked to the door: "Who?"

"Um ... we ... look for Adrian? Mr. Cowell." The voice was awkward, it seemed that English was not good, and it was a female voice.

Frowning, he looked over the cat's eyes and looked a little surprised. Hesitating for a few seconds, he opened the door, and standing outside were three young, timid and disturbed girls.

It's ... a big deal.
