"Why are there Koreans? Do you know them?"
Everyone settled in the private room, and only then did Lu Zheng curiously ask.
"It's an international film festival, so having Koreans around is quite normal." Zhao Xiaodao shrugged, "In the early stages of 'Incomplete Diary', we tried to attract investment from Korea, primarily to release it there.
But they were so greedy, demanding a larger share with less investment, based on Korean box office figures, and even required the leading actor with a relatively high salary."
"Korean box office share?"
"Global box office share."
Lu Zheng was stunned, "What audacity!"
"They claimed they could sell the film to Hollywood." Zhao Xiaodao sneered, "Using 'Squid Game' as an example to say it could be lucrative."
"And then?" Lin Wan asked curiously.
"Of course, we refused. It's not like it was more than a decade ago; we're not that easy to fool." Zhao Xiaodao said, "Later we found another group's distribution company and released it anyway."
