Chapter 319 Come to my house!
"What did my father tell you?"
Walking on the small path in the park where the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse is located, Zhuang Ziqing rubbed his hands vigorously and breathed out.
In recent years, the temperature in Beijing has risen, but it is still very cold at night.
Especially this year, it’s going to snow, and it’s cold and freezing.
"Nothing, it's just that the military has some research projects that they want to cooperate with us on."
When it comes to the army, Zhuang Ziqing knew not to ask too many questions as it was very sensitive.
The two walked side by side, and the entire park was quiet and dark.
"What about you? What did your mother say to you just now?" Yang Huan asked.
When he came out just now, he happened to see the mother and daughter whispering to each other.
Zhuang Ziqing lowered her head slightly, a little shy, "Nothing."
In fact, her mother was just teaching her some rules of being a daughter-in-law, and also reminding her to be careful with the women around her beloved husband.
Although these words were not a secret, she certainly could not say them.
Perhaps because he had just drunk some wine, Yang Huan didn't feel cold at all. Seeing Zhuang Ziqing rubbing her hands constantly and the breath she exhaled turned into white smoke, he knew she was cold, so he immediately took off his suit jacket and put it on her from behind.
"Let's go, let's go back!"
The two turned around and walked back.
Zhuang Ziqing had something on her mind, and her mind was full of what her mother had just said to her.
One very important point is not to let Yang Huan go home anymore, but to let him stay directly at the banker’s villa at night.
Generally speaking, it is normal for the man to spend the night at the woman's house after engagement and before marriage.
But Zhuang Ziqing just couldn't say it.
How do you say something like this?
Could it be that you come to my house tonight?
Isn't that what it means?
How can a girl say that?
As they walked back, the two chatted intermittently, all of which were topics they found when they were bored.
As they approached the banquet hall, Zhuang Ziqing became even more panicked.
Do you want to say it?
If you don’t say it now, you will never have another chance!
Yang Huan felt a little strange as he saw Zhuang Ziqing seeming to hesitate to speak again and again.
"Is there something you want to tell me?"
Zhuang Ziqing nodded heavily, "I..."
Oh, who made these rules?
Why do girls have to invite boys to spend the night at their home after getting engaged?
But if he is not allowed to stay overnight, he will go back. Maybe Zhang Ning is still there!
When she thought of Zhang Ning, she gained courage.
Yang Huan is her husband, she must fight for him back no matter what, right?
"I……"
Just at this moment, Yang Huan's cell phone rang, interrupting Zhuang Ziqing's words.
"Wait, let me take a call first!"
As he spoke, Yang Huan answered the phone. The caller was Sun Yue.
"Old Sun? Tell me! What? The Koreans want to sign the contract now? So urgent? Okay, I'll go back right away!"
After hanging up the phone, Yang Huan shrugged at Zhuang Ziqing and said, "I have to go to the company and sign some contracts."
Zhuang Ziqing felt a little disappointed. The courage she had finally mustered was gone again.
But she also knows that serious matters are important!
"Well, go ahead!"
Yang Huan nodded with a smile, "By the way, what did you want to tell me just now?"
"I..." Zhuang Ziqing was at a loss for words again.
That damn Sun Yue, he didn’t call me earlier or later, but came at this time!
"Hurry up, I'm in a hurry!" Yang Huan deliberately looked at his watch and urged her.
When Zhuang Ziqing heard this, he felt that if he didn't say it, he would miss the chance.
Just die!
He’s my husband anyway, so what does it matter?
"I...my mother said, it wasn't me who said it, it was my mother who said it."
"Yeah, I know. Go ahead."
"My mother said that it's too lonely for you to live alone in the villa, and there's no one to take care of you, so she asked you..."
Yang Huan kept nodding, looking at her, waiting for her to speak.
That look gave Zhuang Ziqing the feeling that he had already known it for a long time, but was still pretending not to know, just to make her say it out loud.
"You bad guy!" Zhuang Ziqing blushed but clenched her fist and punched him.
"Your mother and grandmother told me about this a long time ago, but they were too shy to say it out loud. It's no big deal, it's not a big deal. Ha!" Yang Huan pretended to be disdainful and teased her with a laugh.
Zhuang Ziqing stood there glaring at him angrily.
This is not a big deal, so in your eyes, when is it a big deal?
Damn guy, he only knows how to bully people!
But there was no way out, and she had to soften her heart in the end.
"So are you coming?"
"What do you guess?" Yang Huan responded with a grin.
Before Zhuang Ziqing could react, he had already run towards the Audi car left by Yang Wenfeng with a smile on his face.
Fengjiu was also waiting behind in a car.
Seeing Yang Huan running away, Zhuang Ziqing was both angry and happy.
Guess, I guess yours is a big-headed ghost!
But as soon as the Audi drove away, a text message came to her mobile phone.
"I'll come to your house to find you when I'm done with my work, wait for me!"
Now, my heart feels warm again.
"Humph, who cares!"
She curled her lips at the phone, but walked back to the car happily.

"Master Huan, let me introduce you, this is the CEO of Korea's Showbo Entertainment, Mr. Liu Zhenxun!"
"Mr. Liu, this is our company's boss, Yang Huan!"
When Yang Huan walked into the film company's conference room, Sun Yue immediately stood up and introduced him to the middle-aged man sitting opposite him.
"Hello, Mr. Liu!"
"Hello, Mr. Yang!"
"Please sit down!" Yang Huan asked him to sit down.
"Mr. Yang, time is precious, let's get straight to the point." Liu Zhenxun seemed a little anxious.
"Okay, you go ahead!"
"I believe you are also aware that Yoona is extremely popular in Korea, and so is Psy. He is one of the most popular Chinese in Korea. I believe the movies they star in will definitely have high box office in Korea!"
Yang Huan nodded continuously as he listened.
He also attaches great importance to the Korean film market.
According to the data sent by Youtube after Psy and Yoona’s second-generation hit song “Fox’s Howl” was uploaded.
Leaving aside the Chinese market, South Korea accounts for nearly 20 percent of the global market share.
It can be seen that Yoona and Psy are very influential in the Korean market.
In addition, countries like the United States and Japan are also very attractive.
As soon as Yoona uploaded her single and MV, many distributors came to her.
"Mr. Yang, our Showbao Entertainment is one of the largest companies in Korea. We have very strong film production and distribution capabilities. This time we hope that your company can authorize the Korean distribution of Love Is Not Blind to us."
Yang Huan nodded slightly without expressing his opinion.
"We are willing to buy out the distribution rights of this film in South Korea for two million dollars!"
Two million dollars?
Deng Huatao, who was involved in the negotiations, was delighted when he heard this.
Two million US dollars, converted into nearly 13 million RMB.
The total cost of this movie was only 9 million RMB, and even if Yoona's pay is added, it would be about this amount.
This means that by selling the distribution rights to South Korea, the box office revenue of this movie in other countries and regions can be considered a net profit!
The movie has already made back its investment before it even hits theaters, awesome!
So cool!
Wow, this is really awesome!
Master Huan, sell it! Sell it! Sell it quickly!
Deng Huatao was as excited as a chicken with its blood injected, but Yang Huan remained as steady as a rock.
"Two million dollars?" Yang Huan shook his head and did not comment.
Liu Zhenxun had found out everything in advance.
This movie was a low-budget production, with a budget of around two million dollars at most.
The price I can offer is already very high.
Still not satisfied?
Yang Huan looked at Sun Yue and waved.
"Master Huan!" Sun Yue came over immediately.
"What is the box office revenue sharing model for Hollywood movies imported into Korea?"
"Distributors account for 60 percent, and Hollywood companies take about 50 percent of that."
After all, Sun Yue is not a professional researcher on box office sharing, so he can't say for sure what the sharing model of Hollywood blockbusters is in South Korea. He just knows a rough idea.
Yang Huan looked at Deng Huatao again. He wasn't very familiar with him, but he vaguely knew that it was roughly this ratio.
This seems to be the ratio in South Korea, Japan, Taiwan, Hong Kong and other places.
"Mr. Liu!" Yang Huan understood what was going on and looked at Liu Zhenxun again.
"Since you have come to negotiate in person, which proves your sincerity, then I will also express my attitude. I am very sincere in cooperating with you. I don't want to buy out the copyright, I want a share of the profits, according to Hollywood's profit-sharing ratio, 50%!"
Liu Zhenxun was stunned and shook his head, "Mr. Yang, that's the ratio of a Hollywood blockbuster."
After a pause, he seemed to have thought of something.
"Moreover, over the past few years, no Chinese film has ever been shown in Korea using the revenue-sharing model, because the box office is not high!"
Yang Huan looked at Deng Huatao, who nodded.
The box office performance of Chinese films in South Korea is indeed not that good, so the producers generally adopt a buyout model to ensure a profit!
"Mr. Yang, if you think the buyout price of two million dollars is too low, then we can raise it to three million dollars!"
Liu Zhenxun was the first to make concessions.
It can be seen that he is determined to win this film.
Miracle Entertainment now has cooperation intentions from two other Korean distribution companies. Without exception, they all want to buy out the copyrights, and the highest price is only US$1.5 million.
From this we can see that the price offered by Xiubao Entertainment is very sincere and competitive.
But Yang Huan still shook his head. "Since there has never been a Chinese movie released under the revenue-sharing model before, ours is the first. We want to release it under the revenue-sharing model. The ratio is as I said just now, 50%. If you want it, we will sign the contract right away!"
Liu Zhenxun was really confused.
Why do we have to adopt the profit-sharing model?
With such a low cost, isn't it a good deal to get it at a buyout price of three million dollars?
"Mr. Yang Huan, please forgive me for asking, are you really that confident in your movie?"
He really wanted to figure out what was there in this movie that could support Yang Huan's confidence.
If so, he would consider it!
But Yang Huan shrugged and said, "No!"
To be honest, there really isn't one.
This movie itself was made for the Chinese market. Many elements are set in Beijing, and more consideration is given to being down-to-earth. It is inevitable that it will not be well adapted to local conditions in regions outside of China.
So, who’s to say how well this movie will do outside of China?
"No?" Liu Zhenxun smiled bitterly.
Since you don't have confidence, why don't you buy it out?
"The reason why I insisted on splitting the profits is because I didn't care about the $3 million at all!"
Such a statement of arrogance and wealth immediately made Liu Zhenxun dumbfounded.
Three million dollars!
That's three million dollars!
You didn't even notice it?
But thinking again, the stories about this young master in the newspapers and his courage when he smashed a car in South Korea made one believe that he really did not care about the three million dollars.
"Didn't you say before that Chinese movies don't do well at the box office in Korea, so everyone buys out the movies?"
"Yeah!" Liu Zhenxun nodded.
"Then I'm going to give it a try. We'll split the profits for this movie. I'll even promise you that you'll do your best to promote it. If the box office doesn't do well and you lose money, we won't take our share and will just give it to you!"
Liu Zhenxun was stunned.
Is there such a good thing in this world?
Is this a business?
Does anyone do business this way?
