Pervert, Li Zhenyu is certainly not a pervert.
The room behind the invisible door is where he rests and creates.
When creating, he almost always stays in the office to avoid his inspiration being interrupted by trivial matters.
Of course, it’s normal to discuss important matters with Representative Yin occasionally!
"President, why can't I see Son Ye-jin?" Kim Seung-jae looked sneaky and wanted to see the goddess.
"Reading the script inside, don't you have something to report?" Li Zhenyu raised his eyebrows and said.
"Ah, yes." Jin Chengcai's disappointment was all written on his face.
"What's the matter?" Li Zhenyu sat behind his desk.
“Yes, the artist reported recently that the plan made by the album distribution company was very different from the actual situation, and the album was almost not enough to sell.
Fortunately, Representative Yin urgently contacted the manufacturer to reprint, so that the sound halls on the street did not run out of stock. The relevant person in charge has been educated and will do a better job in the preliminary investigation next time."
“Well, IU’s schedule must take care of her health. Growth is also very important. Fans’ demands on artists will become higher and higher.
Of course it’s good to be strong, but wouldn’t it be better to be beautiful, have a good figure, and be strong? ”
"The entertainment department wants to promote Zi Yan to debut."
Ziyan, she has passed the assessment, can she debut? Li Zhenyu immediately thought of the role of Mrs. Park, her experience and face shape are very suitable for this role.
She grew up as a good girl in a chaebol family. She is naive and romantic and believes that the world is full of flowers and sunshine.
Deep in our hearts, however, lies the dark side of human desire.
This role is so similar to her growing up experience that it seems like it was tailor-made for her.
But I don’t know if her acting skills are up to this role.
"What do you think of her acting?"
"Not bad. It depends on who you compare yourself with. There is definitely a gap compared to the seniors."
"So...are there any trainees who stand out?"
"Ah, speaking of this, I almost forgot. The newcomer recruited by the president himself, Goo Hara, is very talented. Her voice and dance performance are great."
"Lin Zhenna's performance was also great. She is the perfect person to be the face of the store."
"Then what? Only two people?" Li Zhenyu frowned, wondering if the training of trainees was too slow.
"President."
Jin Chengcai looked embarrassed, but he had to tell the truth: "We are already moving very quickly. If we just wanted to launch a normal group, we could do it now.
But, if it’s a group like Girls’ Generation…it will take more time to select and train them.”
Any group cannot be launched overnight, and Zy Entertainment’s foundation is too weak.
"Core Contents Media, what do you think of this company?"
"Is it a new company under Mnet? I heard it's pretty good. With CJ's support, it can't be that bad."
"Then let's make it ours and buy it!" Li Zhenyu had wanted to say this for a long time but had never found the time.
The company’s previous structure was too weak to take care of such things.
Now, all departments are on the right track, the structure is complete, and the personnel are supplemented.
Let’s buy it! “Secretary Xia, is Representative Yin in the company?”
"Inside."
"Let her come over..."
Li Zhenyu told the two of them his idea without reservation, and said in a firm tone: "That's it, let's acquire Core Contents Media and make it our company!"
"President, is this really okay?" Yoon Hye-na expressed her doubts. How could Mnet agree to this?
"Whether it's possible or not, we have to try it to know. No matter what, this is just a business. If it's suitable, Mnet can sell it, so why can't Core Contents Media?"
Lee Jin Woo is not worried because Core Contents Media is not the only entertainment company under Mnet.
Maybe Mnet has high expectations for it, but some things are not up to it.
"Just talk to CJ EM directly. Hui Na, do you have CJ Choi's number?"
"Yes, I'll call him later."
"That's it, go down!"
Core Contents Media is a new company established in January last year. It is affiliated with M-net channel under CJ EM Entertainment and was acquired by MBK Entertainment in 2013.
That’s right, it’s MBK Entertainment, which has good star-making abilities but whose planning, operation and public relations are so poor that it’s hard to complain.
Since CCM can be acquired by MBK, why can't it be acquired by Zy+?
Anyway, it's just business.
The top priority at present is to create the company's first portfolio as soon as possible and get work on track.
The girl group era that is about to begin is so exciting. It would be a shame to miss this train.
After finishing his business, Li Zhenyu leaned back in his chair and thought for a few seconds, then stood up and walked towards the wall cabinet.
He poured two glasses of whiskey, then pressed the switch to open the hidden door: "Yejinxi, how was your reading of the script? Do you have any good suggestions?"
"President, Aigu, how long has it been?" Son Ye-jin, who was fascinated by the scene, raised her wrist and looked at the watch, only to find that two hours had passed.
"Have something to drink!" Li Zhenyu handed her a glass of wine.
"Nei, Kangsangmi Da."
"Yejin, can we just use plain language? It's too troublesome to be so polite."
"Ah~ um, okay." Son Ye-jin nodded in agreement.
The atmosphere seems a little weird! "This is much more comfortable. Let's talk about the script. If you have any comments, just tell me directly."
"Nei...Zhenyu, is it okay to shoot northern themes like this?"
Son Ye-jin's biggest question is whether the subject matter is too sensitive.
The new King Sejong's attitude towards the North-South issue is particularly tough, which is not a good sign.
"Don't worry, the cultural industry is a strategic goal of our country, and I think everyone will understand.
It can't just be limited to the local area. If the filming goes well and can be shown in the north, wouldn't that be equivalent to showing them how developed and advanced South Korea is?"
"This way, we can promote local culture and export culture!"
She didn't know whether what she said made sense or not, she just knew that she liked the script very much.
If the filming goes smoothly, it will be a great boost to her popularity.
"So, you agreed."
"Of course, Zhenyu, let me play the role!"
Son Ye-jin smiled brightly and was as happy as a blooming flower.
"Okay, it's a deal."
"It's settled, Aigu, I'm so happy." Son Ye-jin laughed happily while holding the script.
"Yejinxi, it's getting late, let's have dinner together!"
"Okay, where are we going?" Son Ye-jin said as she was about to stand up, but he grabbed her wrist.
"I mean here, wait." Li Zhenyu pressed the call button on the wall and said to the microphone: "Secretary Xia, send in two servings of food. You will be responsible for being Yi Zhenxi's assistant."
"Yes, President." Xia Zhuxi responded.
After calling the restaurant and ordering a high-end meal for two, Xia Zhuxi took a bottle of red wine from the display rack on the wall.
The display wall in the reception and waiting area is filled with various red wines. There is glass separating the walls and each compartment has cold light.
Outsiders would only think that this is a decorative wall for display and the red wine inside is just decoration.
In fact, those red wines are all real...
The display wall is a constant temperature wine cabinet, which can serve as decoration and meet the needs of the president.
The total value of the red wine displayed inside alone exceeds 200 million yuan.
"President, this is the red wine you requested." Xia Zhuxi brought the wine into the room with the open door.
"Um, where's Assistant Min?"
"Manager Yin invited him and the company's people to a dinner party."
"OK, thanks."
"You are very kind."
Noticing that there was something strange in her eyes when she left, Son Ye-jin became uneasy.
Fortunately, the invisible door leading to the office was always open, otherwise it would be difficult for her to remain calm.
Son Ye-jin had a premonition of what would happen if this atmosphere continued.
We are all adults, not ignorant children. How can we not be aware of this ambiguity?
As for to what stage this ambiguity will develop, Son Ye-jin has not yet thought it through.
Let's take one step forward and see what happens.
"Zhenyu, why did you think of opening an entertainment company?"
“Because it’s fun.”
Son Ye-jin looked at him strangely, obviously not believing what he said.
"It's true. Don't you think it's fun to make movies and watch different life stories come into being in your hands?"
"It's interesting to hear you say that. But I think being an actor is more like what you said."
Li Zhenyu waved his hands and said with a smile: "Ani, Ani, I like to create stories, not enter into them."
“How can you truly experience it if you don’t go in?”
"Yeah, that's right."
Li Zhenyu smiled and said casually: "It seems that I should try to make a guest appearance in the future."
"Guest appearance?" Son Ye-jin asked curiously, "I thought you would prefer to be the protagonist."
“I already have that kind of life.”
Li Zhenyu spread his hands, looked around and joked, "Isn't it?"
"A cameo like Stan Lee is more interesting than a lead role. Yeah, it's going to be fun."
Li Zhenyu was convinced by himself. He thought that making a cameo appearance in every movie he shot as an easter egg or a surprise might spark public opinion and create topic.
The publicity costs saved for each play would be a considerable expense.
This also reminded him of the upcoming filming of "Parasite", and he decided to play the role of Min Hyuk himself.
"What are you thinking about?" Seeing that he remained silent, Son Ye-jin asked curiously.
"A character in a new movie."
"A parasite?"
"Yes, this movie is very important to me and the company."
Whether or not he can make it to Cannes is related to his and his company's development plan to integrate into Hollywood.
The best-selling book awarded by the system was still in his drawer. It was the perfect opportunity for him to break into Hollywood.
Fifty Shades of Grey has long topped the bestseller list in the United States and is the most controversial global bestseller.
The films adapted from it have also received polarized reviews. Those who like it praise it as a classic, while those who hate it regard it as vomit in the trash can.
But it is undeniable that it is a hit.
Despite such controversial circumstances, its first film grossed a staggering $600 million worldwide.
Li Zhenyu doesn't care about its controversy, but is thinking about how to adapt it to make it more valuable.
Do Hollywood moguls care about awards? No, they only care about one thing: how much money this film can make.
As long as they make money, the Razzies are no different than the Oscars.
