"It's not my company. The representative is Zhao Yingjun, who is my friend."

Li Zhenyu lied and decided to send him to work at Universal Investments (U·L·I·T).

"Thank you, brother." Choi Wan-sik agreed decisively.

Seeing him so straightforward, Li Zhenyu was surprised and joked: "Oh, what happened? You were so shy before."

"He's my brother's friend, but not my brother. I'm already very grateful that you remembered me and helped me find a job."

Choi Man-sik grabbed his brand new cell phone and looked at it over and over again, clearly wanting to say something.

"Hey, hurry up and pack up, don't say anything, or I'll be angry."

Having his little tricks exposed by him, Choi Man-sik scratched his head in embarrassment and solemnly put the phone into his pocket.

"Brother, when I get my first month's salary, you must let me treat you to a meal."

"Ok." Li Zhenyu agreed readily.

"Yingjun, it's me, your brother Zhenyu, who else could it be."

"Brother, do you know what time it is here now?"

Zhao Yingjun rubbed his head and sat up from the bed with a headache: "Hey, what happened?"

"No, I have something to tell you... I have a friend who is looking for a job. Is it okay for him to come to your place?"

"...Oh, since it's my brother who introduced me, there's no problem. I'll call the secretary now."

"Okay, thank you. I'll treat you to a meal when I get back... Also, thank you for your hard work."

"Yes, I will remember this. If you don't treat me to a meal when I return to Seoul, I will not let it go... Hey, brother?"

Zhao Yingjun took the phone away from his ear, his expression instantly helpless: "Hey, you hung up again, couldn't you wait for someone to finish talking?"

Pointing at the phone, Li Zhenyu said seriously: "I heard it. It's done. I'll send you there to report now."

“Are you going like this?” Choi Wan-sik pointed at himself. He was wearing all these trendy brands and didn’t look like a worker at all.

He is clearly a comedian.

"Go report first, and then think about the clothes." Li Zhenyu took him and walked straight to the busy commercial building.

13th floor, the elevator door opens.

The first thing you can see is the plaque hanging on the opposite wall: U.L.I.T. Universal Investment Company welcomes you.

"Come on!" Li Zhenyu led him into the automatic door, and the beautiful receptionist immediately stood up from behind the front desk.

"Anehaseyo, how can I help you?"

"Representative Zhao asked me to come. We talked on the phone."

"Yes, please wait."

The front desk called the internal line and found the representative secretary.

"Anihasayo, I'm Secretary Zhang Yinghu. Representative Zhao just spoke to me on the phone."

Secretary Zhang Yinghu has a gentle appearance and wears glasses. He looks like an educated person.

However, Zhao Yingjun did not find a woman, but actually found a man to be his secretary. It is really strange.

Isn't he a sex-crazed man who spends his days wandering around the flowers and spending money in the high-end entertainment shops in Itaewon as a VVIP? "I'll leave it to you, Wanzhi, Feiting (come on)!" Li Zhenyu raised his fist to cheer him up and left the company.

He also didn't want Choi Man-sik to know that he was actually the president of U·L·I·T.

When he has enough capital and experience and wants to start a career, I will be his strong backer! This shitty life should occasionally give ordinary people a little hope.

The next second after entering the elevator, the transparent subtitle frame flashed before my eyes again.

'Trigger the hidden mission: Help true friends and regain your confidence.'

'The mission is 73% complete, and the rewards are being calculated.'

'Reward: Sincere friendship.'

'Sincere Friendship: When the target is called a friend, the host's words and actions will be more sincere.'

'PS: Only sincerity can win people's hearts.'

Looking inside the mirror-like clean elevator door, there is a sincere smile.

Li Zhenyu smiled and sighed: "Aigu, it seems that you have to make more friends in the future. More friends mean more paths, which is really good!"

…

Zy plus entertainment, VIP reception room.

Li Zhenyu is meeting with Choi Min-sik, one of the three leaders of Chungmuro, who came to discuss cooperation.

This big brother is a very nice person in private, with a gentle personality. He likes to joke and make witty remarks.

He was laughing all the time and was a very easy person to get along with.

"President Li, after reading the script, I told my agent that I would definitely take this role."

Choi Min-sik looked at his agent, who nodded affirmatively, indicating that what he said was true.

"Now, I just want to know when can I see the full script?"

Choi Min-sik really wants to see what the story is like in the complete script.

Just watching the part played by his own character made him toss and turn at night and unable to fall asleep.

This is true for good actors when they encounter a good script.

"Once your agent and Representative Yin have finished discussing the details, I will personally hand the script to you. How do you think?"

"Great, let's get started!" Choi Min-sik rubbed his hands in anticipation.

"Come, have some tea."

Li Zhenyu reached out and invited him to taste the tea he had brewed.

"I asked someone to bring this back from Incheon Yanren Street."

"Oh, really?"

Choi Min-sik stared at the mini teapot with interest, looked around and asked, "Is this made of very valuable wood?"

"Inside, a whole piece of Huanghuali is cut and then carved by a skilled master craftsman for two months."

"Wow, luxury, this is a luxury!"

"If Min-sik likes it, you can take it with you when you leave."

"Oh, really?"

"Of course, when I saw Brother Min-sik, I felt a sense of familiarity. Compared to the close relationship between us, this is nothing."

The sincere smile made Choi Min-sik feel like meeting a family member.

Aigu, how can there be such a good president.

Really…

"Hahaha, President Lee...Ani (no), Jinwoo, we should get closer in the future. However, it's better to call you President Lee outside."

"Wei ei?"

"If I do this, people will think that I am an old guy and am taking advantage of my age to bully you."

"Hahaha……"

They are both mature and intelligent people. The man has feelings for each other and the woman has intentions for each other. It is natural for them to be harmonious and make money when they get together.

In the meeting room next door, the atmosphere between Yoon Hye-na and her agent was not so pleasant.

Yoon Hye-na may not have any connections in the entertainment and music circles, and she doesn't understand the industry's explicit and implicit rules very well.

But she has a whole reliable team and knows how to use this team to make up for her shortcomings and put herself in an advantageous position in negotiations.

Moreover, this was not a tit-for-tat confrontation, and the atmosphere of the negotiations was good from beginning to end.

The only point of conflict lies in the role and the pay.

As an agent, of course you want to get the best treatment for your agents.

This time, the reason they came was because of Min Zhi's strong request.

Also, considering CJ is the main producer.

Otherwise, a small and unknown company would not be worth their efforts.

He never mentioned a word about this big production with a 40 billion investment from beginning to end.

It was as if they were just making a guest appearance and didn't take a penny.

However, Yoon Hye-na was not stingy with her pay.

This cooperation is just the beginning, and we will have more opportunities for cooperation in the future.

Choi Min-sik's box office appeal is also worth investing in.

In addition, the president kept saying, "This price is really reasonable."

After two hours of negotiations, the two sides finally reached a consensus on the details.

Choi Min-sik's pay for the film was 660 million won, which before tax is less than 3.6 million won.

With a production cost of 40 billion yuan and an extremely luxurious and powerful lineup of movie kings and talented actors, the film's remuneration does not exceed 20% of the total investment.

Conscience, conscience!

Li Zhenyu gave this salary willingly.

However, in Sun Jingzhi's eyes, this pay is still too high.

If he were to negotiate, his salary would never exceed 600 million.

These guys really don't treat people as human beings!

I like……

The harder they squeeze, the more valuable the favor they give.

Only by treating people as human beings can you reap benefits far beyond your expectations.

"Okay, I'll take care of the others."

Sun Jingzhi's opinion is contrary to his. He believes that dogs should be treated the same way as dogs.

If the owner is too kind, the dog will forget his own identity.

If you are bitten by a dog accidentally, even if you kill the dog, the wound will still hurt.

"Where is the director?" Li Zhenyu asked.

Sun Jingzhi clapped his hands and said, "Ah, I was just about to tell you, Park Chan-wook, we invited Director Park Chan-wook to come this time, did you know?"

Park Chan-wook graduated from the Department of Philosophy at Korea University. In his early years, he worked odd jobs on film sets and also worked as a film critic.

Two small-budget films were shot later, but due to cost constraints and unconventional subject matter, they were not well received by the outside world.

In 2000, the film "Joint Security Area" allowed him to showcase his talent and created a box office legend at the time.

The box office champion of the millennium, the Best Picture Award at the South Korean Film Awards, and shortlisted for the 51st Berlin Film Festival, many honors have crowned Park Chan-wook the king.

At the same time, it also helped him get the "freedom to shoot" that he had always wanted.

"Revenge I Want" two years later and "Old Boy" a year later were both his long-cherished ambitions and his life's long-cherished wish.

Now, we are just one step away from completing the final chapter of the trilogy.

"He agreed?" At this time, he should be writing the final chapter of the trilogy.

How can I find the time to photograph other people's works?

This has nothing to do with the quality of the work. It’s that the other party is fulfilling a long-cherished wish and is putting all his energy into this matter.

The first two films were such a huge success, so how could he spare the time and energy to invest in other works?

The most important thing is energy. Excellent creation requires everyone to devote themselves to it wholeheartedly to achieve the best results.

Li Zhenyu doesn't want his script to be ruined because of certain people.

"I'll find someone to convince him... But your concern is not wrong. This is indeed a problem."

If the person is there but the heart is not there, then the movie will be a bad one.

Sun Jingzhi didn't care about the other party's reputation and career, but he had to bear the loss of real money.

This was something he could never accept.

"How about, let me give it a try?"

It is not uncommon for screenwriters to switch careers and become directors in South Korea.

But people like him, who have only written one work and have never worked in a film crew, directly serve as a director.

There has never been a precedent!

However, Sun Jingzhi was still convinced by him.

The storyboard manuscript this guy took out, wow~ genius, it really exists.

However, to be on the safe side, Sun Jingzhi asked to add an experienced assistant director to the crew for two days.

The two people's task is to assist him in filming this big production.

The total investment of 40 billion, if it fails, CJ...Sun Jingzhi...

He will become a laughing stock in the entertainment industry for the whole year, and the label of "loser" will be printed on his face.
