Huayu: We're asking you to act, and you're playing a superhuman?

Shilla Hotel, first floor, dining area.

As a property under the Samsung Group, the Shilla Hotel has always been highly sought after by South Korean political and business elites.

It was with this in mind that Tianming chose this place for dinner.

Looking at the exquisite and beautiful lights overhead, the handsome male and beautiful female waiters in their sharp suits, and the elegant sandalwood scent filling the air...

Tianming had to admit that South Korea really spared no expense when it came to extravagance, which explained why their films about chaebols were so realistic.

As the agreed time approached, Tianming began to feel anxious.

He wasn't worried that Park Jung-hoon wouldn't come; he was wondering when Wang Wei-li would arrive.

If a partner is absent, the business is neglected from the very beginning.

The thought had barely crossed Tianming's mind when, a second later, he saw Park Jung-hoon being led in by a waiter.

Oh no, I hope he won't ask about Wang Weili.

That was all Tian Ming could think. He then got up, buttoned up his suit jacket, and took the initiative to greet Park Jung-hoon.

"Minister Park, good afternoon!"

"Hello, Mr. Tian, ​​isn't Mr. Wang here?"

Park Jung-hoon's first words immediately dashed Tian Ming's hopes and made her nervous.

He didn't know when Wang Weili would arrive, and it was difficult to find an excuse.

A thoughtful look flashed across Tian Ming's face, but he decided to tell the truth: "I'm sorry, Minister Park, President Wang may be a little late."

"Oh, then let's wait for him."

"Um?"

"It's alright, we can have some fruit first..."

Park Jung-hoon raised his hand to call over a waiter, and his easygoing attitude made Tian Ming feel particularly unfamiliar.

Before coming here, he had already investigated Park Jung-hoon's work history and knew that the man was known in the workplace for his time management and strict work style. He was about to be promoted to executive director and was expected to become the president of SBS in the future.

How could someone like this be so easy to talk to when a business partner is late?

It's bizarre, extremely bizarre!

Tian Ming pursed his lips, feeling uneasy about Park Jung-hoon's unusual behavior and even more worried about today's copyright acquisition negotiations.

Park Jung-hoon asked the waiter for some cherries and loquats, both seasonal fruits. The Shilla Hotel also has top-quality fruits in stock.

Just as the waiter brought the fruit over, Wang Weili finally arrived, accompanied by another person.

Tian Ming pushed up his glasses in disbelief. If he wasn't mistaken, the person who came with Wang Weili was Father Jiang, who had preached in the church yesterday.

However, the way they walked over was really strange.

Wang Weili led the way, walking briskly ahead, with Father Jiang following closely behind, his expression full of...respect?

Tianming was starting to doubt what he was seeing.

How could a celebrity priest, who is adored by South Korean political and business elites, possibly show respect to Wang Weili, a young man from another country?

Tian Ming stared blankly as Wang Weili walked to their table and reached out his hand to Park Jung-hoon.

"I'm sorry, Minister Park, I'm late."

"It's alright. Father Jiang just called me and said he'd be a little late to discuss something with you. I didn't expect that Mr. Wang and Father Jiang already knew each other."

"We just met yesterday, and we hit it off immediately."

"Haha, that's what he said too."

Park Jung-hoon smiled and shook hands with Wang Wei-li, then nodded to Father Kang.

This business negotiation thus began in a bizarre way.

Before starting, Jiang Daren even took the initiative to go to the next table.

While religious beliefs may not affect the success or failure of a business deal, they can influence the people involved in the business negotiations.

If someone you're doing business with treats you strictly as a business transaction, you certainly won't feel relaxed.

Conversely, if he is easy to talk to and doesn't fuss over details, then the efficiency of this business negotiation will be incredibly pleasant.

Tianming now felt incredibly comfortable.

After initial discussions, the total cost for acquiring the rights to Running Man is 200 billion Korean won, equivalent to 1.2 million RMB. (Note: Data shows that the acquisition price in 14 was 300 billion Korean won. Considering the higher premium expected from internet capital investment in 14, 200 billion won was chosen.)

This price includes the entire game process, script system, production standards, guidance from the original team, and licensing.

If the copyright wasn't acquired, the iconic name tag ripping game and many other games from Running Man wouldn't be able to be featured on the show.

Before coming, Wang Weili had discussed with Blueberry TV the possibility of not importing the program, but it turned out to be a dead end.

However, they don't want to keep paying money to SBS.

Therefore, we can only pay upfront and then revamp the show once the domestic producers have figured out the formula and the guests' images have become deeply ingrained in the public consciousness.

After discussing the details, Wang Weili and Tian Ming went to sign a memorandum of understanding with Park Jung-hoon.

This agreement has a certain period of exclusivity, which guarantees that SBS cannot sell the copyright to others within the specified period.

At this point, the matter is basically settled.

The remaining part involves Wang Weili and Tian Ming communicating with Blueberry TV to determine the investment shares of the three parties, after which they can officially sign a contract with SBS.

Watching Park Jung-hoon leave with Kang Dae-in, all smiles, Jeon-min still couldn't believe things had gone so smoothly.

The way Jiang Daren looked back every few steps as he left made him feel that there was a story behind it.

Filled with doubt, Tian Ming asked Wang Weili, "Mr. Wang, how do you know Father Jiang?"

"We met while chatting on the street."

Wang Weili was telling the truth, but Tian Ming didn't believe him and even looked at him with a disgusted expression, as if to say, "Can you stop teasing me?"

"You, Father Jiang, are chatting on the street?"

That's how it is.

Wang Weili chuckled and didn't offer any further explanation.

"Mr. Tian, ​​let's talk about the division of investment shares."

"this……"

Tian Ming glanced at Wang Weili with a troubled expression and began to beat around the bush.

"As the platform provider and main producer, Blueberry TV will definitely take 50% of the revenue. How about we split the remaining 50/20? That way, your financial burden will be less..."

"Let's keep it 25% each."

Wang Weili didn't want to waste words with him, so he directly stated his plan.

Tianming could actually accept this division.

He was just testing the waters because he was worried that Wang Weili would secretly contact Park Jung-hoon through Father Kang.

"That's a good way to divide it, but just acquiring the copyright cost 1.2 million. Adding production costs and star salaries, the initial investment is estimated to be around 2 million. Mr. Wang, what's your budget?"

"There's no need to worry about that."

Wang Weili smiled dismissively.

"I've already reached an agreement with Enlight Media; they'll invest in my personal studio. Let's hurry up and get Blueberry TV on board to sign the contract and start production as soon as possible!"

He has money, but the film and television industry has a slow return on investment, so it's more cost-effective to use other people's money to do things.

"Okay, I'll do as you say."

Tian Ming had already figured out Wang Weili's importance in this negotiation.

……

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

"Bang!"

The repairman looked at Jiang Daren, who was standing on the metal base, constantly turning on the flame jets, his eyes growing increasingly fanatical, with a puzzled expression.

Jiang Daren's eyes reflected the firelight as he murmured, "The equipment is fine. This is all divine power. Is Mr. Wang the son of God?"

He hadn't considered the possibility that Wang Weili might possess supernatural abilities; he simply thought these were all miraculous phenomena.

Looking at the faint fire snakes around him, a struggle flashed across Jiang Daren's face, and then he took the initiative to reach out his hand to them.

"ah!!"

The repairman's lips twitched; he thought to himself that Father Jiang must be under a lot of pressure lately.

Holding his scalded hand, Jiang Daren's expression grew even more devout, his conviction deepening: he could withstand that level of heat... there was absolutely no mistake... I'm going to the Vatican...
