Chapter 35 Buyout or profit sharing?

In fact, it is not Ma Richeng’s fault. For publicity and promotion work, he has to contact the heads of major cinemas every day.

In order to promote the movie, it might be a bit too much to praise Li Renyong.

No, I have to come and see him.

There was no choice but for the two to bring Li Renyong with them.

Li Renyong refused without thinking: "Manager An, I will start school in a few days, so I may not be able to study with you."

You know, after becoming an apprentice, the master has the naming rights for the film, and at least one of the directing screenwriters cannot escape.

More importantly, Li Renyong is still a minor.

Manager An will bypass Li Renyong and directly become the main creative staff member, which is a good plan.

Li Renyong himself doesn't need to find a master. He himself can't write scripts. But with so many stories in his mind, why not just pick one and write the plot, and then give it to Lee Chang-dong for revision?

Manager An didn't expect Li Renyong to reject him. With a little drunkenness, he smiled and said nonchalantly, "You may not know who I am. I am An Haoxian."

He thought that if he told Li Renyong his name, he would agree.

After all, he is somewhat famous. Even if Li Renyong doesn't know, Li Changdong and others must have explained it to Li Renyong.

But Lee Chang-dong and the other man frowned slightly and said nothing.

They knew that Li Renyong had his own ideas, and even Ma Richeng's work was solved by Li Renyong.

Unlike other sixteen year olds, he did not speak now.

Hearing this, Li Renyong still shook his head.

Seeing that he refused, Manager An, under the influence of alcohol, felt a surge of anger in his heart.

However, despite years of cultivating his Qi, An Haoxian never showed any signs on his face.

I couldn’t eat any more after getting to this point.

After a few polite words to each other, An Haoxian went out drunk.

Lee Chang-dong said, "I'm sorry, Yong."

Ma Richeng in particular looked guilty.

They originally thought that Manager An came to discuss film cooperation, but they didn't expect there was such a hidden meaning behind it.

Li Renyong said: "It's not your fault. After all, this movie is the result of the joint efforts of the three of us. You probably didn't expect that Manager An would be such a person."

Ma Richeng sighed and said, "But without Manager An, it's hard for newcomers' works to stand out."

Lee Chang-dong shook his head and said, "Then we'll follow the normal steps. At worst, we won't show it in the Seoul theater. Il-sung, let's go to a few more theaters tomorrow."

Ma Richeng smiled bitterly. The effects of showing a movie in a theater in Seoul and showing it in other theaters are two different things.

Li Renyong stood up and said, "As long as the quality is good, don't worry. Two uncles, let's go back."

Lee Chang-dong said, "Ayong is right. Ri-sung, don't worry. Send Ayong home first."

The cool breeze on the street blew away the drunkenness of the two men, making them a little more sober.

Since the three of them didn't have a car, they walked towards the subway entrance.

The starting fare for a taxi in Seoul at this time is 800 yuan, which is a bit expensive.

Just then, Li Renyong suddenly saw someone.

He thought about it for a moment, then shouted loudly: "Uncle Zhao."

After saying that, he ran towards that person.

Lee Chang-dong and Ma Il-sung looked at each other and followed.

"Uncle Zhao, what are you doing here so late?"

Li Renyong said with a smile.

There is always a way out. I didn’t expect to meet Zhao Junnan here.

Zhao Junnan is the manager of a cinema near Ssangmun-dong, and the two had just dealt with each other a few days ago.

When he saw it was Li Renyong, Zhao Junnan snorted coldly.

He didn't have a good impression of Li Renyong.

I originally came to the Seoul Theater today to see if I could discover any good new films.

In recent years, most Korean movies have been imported from abroad, but no matter how many are imported, there are not many. For example, Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade was released two years ago.

If a cinema wants to remain active, it must play as many and better films as possible, and as new as possible.

Therefore, I want to come to Seoul Theater to pick up bargains. If I find an excellent movie that has just been reviewed, I will sign the contract immediately.

If you have a quick hand, you will have it, but if you have a slow hand, you will not have it.

Li Renyong told Li Changdong and others what happened between him and Zhao Junnan, and emphasized that he was the manager of a cinema.

The two immediately understood what Li Renyong meant.

Regardless of being slightly tipsy, he pulled Zhao Junnan to have a second drink.

Zhao Junnan didn't want to go at first, but the three people were too enthusiastic and he was forcibly dragged away.

The three of them found a roadside stall and ordered some soju and skewers of meat.

Li Renyong was too full after eating barbecue, so he didn’t order anything else.

"Uncle Zhao, take a look at this."

Li Renyong took out the script in his hand without saying a word.

Zhao Junnan also understood what they meant at this time.

This is a movie that you want to show in your own theater.

He looked at Li Renyong in surprise. If he remembered correctly, Li Renyong was not yet an adult.

Humph, do you think any crappy movie can be shown in theaters?

However, based on professional ethics, he still lowered his head and looked carefully under the light.

He nodded while reading the script.

As a filmmaker with the most basic reading ability, he was very satisfied with the script in front of him.

After watching it, Zhao Junnan didn't waste any words and asked directly: "Is the movie finished?"

"The film has not been completed yet. If your theater can give us a chance, we will be very grateful."

After saying that, Li Renyong and the other two stood up at the same time and bowed to Zhao Junnan.

In Korea, like Japan, bowing etiquette can be seen everywhere in life.

Zhao Junnan raised his hand, pressed it and said, "This script is excellent, and I believe you can make an excellent movie, but I want to know whether you plan to buy it out or split the profits?"

Li Renyong was stunned. Is it so direct?

Afterwards, Li Renyong and the other two discussed it and finally decided to split the profits.

Because they have great confidence in the film.

However, Li Renyong didn't know much about the profit sharing, so he didn't say anything.

Ma Richeng drank a glass of wine and said, "The cinema will split the profits 50-50 with us. What do you think?"

Zhao Junnan said: "Not very good."

Then he stood up, turned around and left.

Li Renyong was shocked. When they were in the cinema, Zhao Junnan gave him the impression of being serious and old-fashioned.

The second impression given to him now is that he is direct and leaves no way out.

In fact, Li Renyong misunderstood Zhao Junnan.

He also has his own little thoughts.

Thinking of Li Renyong and the other two being near the Seoul Theater, the two adults were drunk and wanted to cooperate with him when they saw him.

This is clearly a sign of a breakdown in negotiations with others.

That's why he had the courage to refuse the 50-50 split.

Li Renyong stopped Zhao Junnan and said, "Uncle, how do you want to divide the profits?"

Zhao Junnan smiled, which was not easy to be noticed, and said, "Let's have six or four. The theater has six, and you have four."
