Although Gulfstream has kept it a secret for Song Yi, many Korean netizens have seen this Gulfstream G550 at Gimpo Airport or Incheon Airport.

Because the owners of private jets all use a separate security check channel, and the shuttle bus will directly take passengers to the TaeHee boarding gate, so far no one has taken a photo of the mysterious owner. However, netizens have speculated that Song Yi is the owner of TaeHee. TH is the abbreviation of TaeHee, so the owner's identity is self-evident.

Song Hye Kyo, Jun Ji Hyun and Son Ye Jin all confirmed this information with Song Yi, and their little thoughts naturally could not be hidden from Song Yi.

TH was purchased by Song Yi personally, and then rented to New Asia Media Real Estate Group for his use at an annual rent of US$10 million.

Song Yi promised Song Hye Kyo, Jun Ji Hyun and Son Ye Jin, "If you are nominated for an actress at a foreign film festival, TH will pick you up and drop you off, so you can experience a private jet trip."

Having said that, in May, Song Yi flew to Los Angeles with Kim Hee-won and Jun Ji-hyun. Jun Ji-hyun was also the first artist under New Asia to take the TH train.

Jeon Ji-hyun took photos in the cabin like a curious baby. She asked Song Yi, "President, can I post the interior of TH on inschool?"

With the high popularity brought by "My Naughty Girlfriend", Jun Ji-hyun has gained considerable popularity in China, Japan and South Korea. Her number of fans on inschool has exceeded 10 million, making her the first artist to achieve this achievement on the inschool social networking site.

In addition to Jun Ji-hyun, Yui Aragaki is the second artist under New Asia with more than 5 million fans. Since the launch of "KartRider Rush+", Yui Aragaki's popularity on social networking sites has grown rapidly.

Yui Aragaki has gained many fans through the Xinya Voice app, which allows her to chat or sing through it while playing "KartRider".

Yui Aragaki's official inschool certification is also very interesting, "Yui Aragaki, a racer in KartRider, and champion of the Okinawa region in Japan."

As for the fact that Yui Aragaki had participated in the movie "If You Were Me", she did not mention a word and completely forgot the fact that she is also an actor or model.

The reason why Song Yi flew to Los Angeles this time was mainly for the project of the movie "Kung Fu Panda". DreamWorks, New Asia Pictures and CJ Entertainment finally reached an agreement, and the three companies jointly invested to produce the animated film "Kung Fu Panda".

The investment ratios of the three companies are 44%, 36%, and 10%, and Artisan Entertainment will invest the remaining 10%. DreamWorks and Artisan Entertainment will jointly be responsible for the promotion of "Kung Fu Panda". Jun Ji-hyun went to Los Angeles this time to promote "Kung Fu Panda".

Before Song Yi spoke, Jin Xiyuan answered for Jun Ji-hyun, "It doesn't matter if you send down the plane's interior. The interior of the TH can be modified anyway. Don't take photos of the plane's exterior, especially the two letters TH. We are representing Korean filmmakers in the Hollywood market this time, so we should try to keep a low profile."

When Jun Ji-hyun heard what Kim Hee-won said, she smiled and said, "Thank you, President." Jun Ji-hyun certainly knew the position of Kim Hee-won in Song Yi's heart. Song Yi would basically give face to Kim Hee-won on things she agreed to.

In Kim Hee-won's view, Jun Ji-hyun is the first movie star under New Asia with international box office appeal. Naturally, she prefers her to Song Hye-kyo and Son Ye-jin.

When the Texi landed at Los Angeles International Airport, DreamWorks CEO Jeffrey Katzenberg, CJ Entertainment Chairman Chen Meijing, and New Asia Pictures North American business head Shen Zhe came to greet them.

Katzenberg saw Song Yi at a glance, gave Song Yi a warm hug, and then shook hands with Kim Hee-won and Jun Ji-hyun in a friendly manner.

"President Song, we in Los Angeles have been looking forward to your arrival for a long time. To use your idiom, we feel like the days are passing by like years." Katzenberg is a bald Jewish man who looks quite similar to Adam Silver, the future commissioner of the NBA.

Song Yi shook his head. "Jeffrey, the idiom 'days pass by like years' is not used like this. We are usually used to 'looking through the autumn waters'. It means that one's eyes are worn out, describing one's earnest expectation for relatives and friends far away."

Katzenberg smiled and said, "Yes, I am looking forward to seeing my good friend President Song from afar in Los Angeles."

While Song Yi and Katzenberg were greeting each other, Shen Zhe also met Jun Ji-hyun again after two years.

Jun Ji-hyun politely greeted Shin Cheol, "Mr. Shin, long time no see."

Shin Cheol looked at the handsome Jeon Ji Hyun in leather jacket and felt that things had changed. "Ms. Jeon Ji Hyun, long time no see."

At the beginning, Shin Cheol was very optimistic about the movie "My Naughty Girlfriend", and Shin Cine and sidusHQ decided to work together to shoot "My Naughty Girlfriend". The film director Guo Zairong, the male and female leading actors Cha Tae-hyun and Jun Ji-hyun were all recommended by sidusHQ.

Finally, Shin Cheol was worried that the movie "My Naughty Girlfriend" would not be able to recoup its costs, and after being persuaded by his family, he sold Shin Cine to Shin Asia Entertainment, and Shin Cine Pictures was officially renamed Shin Asia Pictures.

As a result, after Song Yi bought New Asia Pictures, Song Yi and Jun Ji-hyun's careers seemed to take off.

Jeon Ji-hyun became the youngest Best Actress at the Grand Bell Awards for her performance in "My Naughty Girlfriend", which also grossed over eight million viewers.

Shin Asia Pictures' parent company, Shin Asia Media Properties Group, went public through a backdoor listing with a market value of over 6 trillion won.

Not only that, New Asia Pictures also successfully entered the Hollywood market through "Kung Fu Panda", and Jun Ji-hyun also became the first Korean international movie star to enter the Hollywood market by dubbing the character Xiao Long in "Kung Fu Panda".

When My Naughty Girlfriend became the second-highest box office hit in 2001, Shen Zhe did regret selling Shin Cine at a low price, which made Song Yi get a bargain. If he waited until My Naughty Girlfriend was out of theaters before selling Shin Cine, Song Yi's purchase price would have to be at least doubled.

However, after New Asia Pictures and Blue Ocean Capital Fund spent 340 million US dollars to buy Yijiang Entertainment, Shen Zhe's mentality was completely adjusted.

If Shin Cine remained in Shin-Cheol's hands, it would have been just an ordinary medium-sized film company in the Korean market. However, after Shin-Asia's successful acquisition, it transformed into one of Korea's leading large-scale film companies.

The movie "The Thieves" produced by Shin-Asia Pictures this year cost more than 20 billion won to produce, and is one of the few action blockbusters in the Korean film market.

Memories of Murder brought New Asia Pictures its first annual box office champion, and The Thieves is aiming for the box office champion in 2003. The film magazine Cine 21 joked that New Asia Pictures might be ready to monopolize the future box office champion in the Korean market.

Katzenberg said to Song Yi, "I have also made an appointment with Jackie Chan (Cheng Long). We will meet at his house in Beverly Hills later. He is very interested in the role of Golden Monkey in Kung Fu Panda and is very happy to take on the dubbing work of Golden Monkey."

In 1998, Jackie Chan spent 3 million US dollars to buy a luxury house in Beverly Hills. It is said that the previous owners of this mansion included the famous Marilyn Monroe.

Song Yi did not hide his gossiping nature. "It is said that Marilyn Monroe was the former owner of Jackie Chan's house. Is that true?"

Katzenberg was suddenly amused. He couldn't imagine that Song Yi, a super-rich man with a net worth of billions of dollars, would actually care about the gossips about celebrities.

"To be honest, that's not the case," Katzenberg said truthfully.

"Real estate agents do use this as a gimmick to attract customers to buy. Beverly Hills itself is a place where many stars gather, and now many wealthy people are proud to buy luxury houses where stars have lived."

"But what the real estate agent said is not wrong. Monroe did live in that house for a period of time when she was filming a movie. It's also true that Monroe was the original owner of the house, but Monroe lived in her Braden apartment most of the time," said Katzenberg.

When Song Yi and others arrived at Cheng Long's residence, Cheng Long had finished his work and returned to his residence. He greeted Song Yi at the door.

Jackie Chan still has a very good box office appeal in Hollywood. In 2001, the comedy action film "Rush Hour 2" starring Jackie Chan won the North American box office championship with a first-week box office of 66.8 million US dollars, and the global box office reached 329 million US dollars, setting a box office record for Hollywood movies starring Chinese actors and a premiere box office record for comedy films in North America.

Although Hong Kong filmmakers have always said that there is a best actor every ten years and Stephen Chow every century, in fact, Jackie Chan and Jet Li are the only two Chinese actors who can play the leading role in Hollywood movies and have box office appeal. And Jackie Chan's "Rush Hour" series of movies has left Jet Li behind by half a body.

Apart from Jackie Chan, other mainland Chinese actresses who later appeared in Hollywood movies, such as Fan Bingbing, Li Bingbing, Jing Tian, ​​etc., were reduced to pure vase roles. They appeared on screen for only a few minutes in total and had very few lines. They were completely different from Jackie Chan and Jet Li.

Cheng Long saw that Katzenberg vaguely meant that Song Yi was the leader, and he immediately understood Song Yi's identity. "Welcome, welcome. I heard from Jeffrey that he was going to make a Kung Fu animated film. I'm very interested. I heard that this script was conceived by Chairman Song. How did you come up with the idea of ​​combining Kung Fu and pandas to make the movie Kung Fu Panda?"

He asked this question to test Song Yi. Cheng Long successfully entered the Hollywood market through Kung Fu movies. Now two Korean film companies and two Hollywood film companies are preparing to produce a Kung Fu animation film, but it uses a lot of Chinese elements. Naturally, he feels a little uncomfortable.

Katzenberg and Chen Meijing looked at Song Yi. They also wanted to know Song Yi's answer.

Song Yi smiled and said, "I have lived in the mainland for 20 years, and I grew up watching kung fu movies. I often rewatch movies like "Shaolin Temple" and "Bodyguard from Beijing" starring Jet Li, and "Rush Hour" and "Police Stories" starring Jackie Chan."

"Last year, South Korea imported two giant pandas from China. My wife adopted one of them, Yabao. When I saw the chubby Yabao, I had an idea in my mind: since Kung Fu and pandas are both representatives of Chinese culture, why don't I make a movie about a panda learning Kung Fu and becoming a peerless master?"

"After all, people have the impression that pandas are chubby and their movements are relatively slow, which gives people a sense of contrast. I've watched many Kung Fu comedy movies starring Cheng Long before, such as "Drunken Master", and some of the clips of Po performing Kung Fu actually came from clips of Cheng Long performing Drunken Master." Song Yi praised Cheng Long.

When Cheng Long heard what Song Yi said, he felt much more relieved. The movie "Kung Fu Panda" was produced by Melissa Cobb, and Song Yi and Chen Meijing were co-producers. Song Yi was also the screenwriter of "Kung Fu Panda".

As the main producer of "Kung Fu Panda", New Asia Pictures and Song Yi are the co-producer and screenwriter of "Kung Fu Panda". His say in this movie exceeds that of DreamWorks.

Now that Song Yi has admitted that the inspiration for the movie Kung Fu Panda actually came from his wife's adopted giant panda, Yabao, and Jackie Chan's kung fu movies, Jackie Chan can use this gimmick when he is interviewed by Hollywood media to strengthen his position in kung fu movies. Whether it is a kung fu comedy movie or a kung fu cartoon, you can't do without me, Jackie Chan.

This is Cheng Long's secret weapon for establishing himself in the Hollywood market. He cannot allow New Asia Pictures to break the inherent impression of a Hollywood film company.

With this opening, the conversation between Cheng Long and Song Yi instantly became more pleasant. Cheng Long even tentatively asked if a Hong Kong film company could be brought in to participate in the production of Kung Fu Panda, but before Song Yi could even open his mouth, Katzenberg found a reason to refuse.

Are you kidding me? Katzenberg is so optimistic about the movie "Kung Fu Panda" and will produce a series of animated films in the future. How could he let Jackie Chan get a share of the profits? If Jackie Chan is still so ignorant of the times, it is uncertain whether there will be any roles for Jackie Chan in the future of "Kung Fu Panda". Chen Meijing also thinks that Jackie Chan is a bit whimsical. The reason why CJ Entertainment can participate in the production of the movie "Kung Fu Panda" is because CJ Entertainment is a shareholder of DreamWorks.

The reason why New Asia Pictures was able to obtain such a high share is because Song Yi acquired Yijiang Entertainment and has no shortage of publicity and distribution channels in North America.

If DreamWorks does not cooperate with New Asia Pictures, then New Asia Pictures will take "Kung Fu Panda" to cooperate with Pixar and Disney.

Song Yi has no shortage of publicity channels and money, and the project belongs to New Asia Films. If DreamWorks does not agree to cooperate, Song Yi can turn around and find other Hollywood film giants to cooperate with. You, Cheng Long, want to come in and share the money by virtue of your starring role. I can only say that you are thinking too much.

In Chen Meijing's opinion, Jackie Chan is very good, but animated films are not live-action films. People like Jet Li, Michelle Yeoh, Chow Yun-fat, and Lucy Liu can replace Jackie Chan's role as the Golden Monkey.

Seeing that Song Yi and the others refused to give in, Cheng Long gave up the idea and began to take Song Yi to visit his mansion.

Jackie Chan's mansion is not particularly large. Its previous owner was Harold Lloyd, a comedian as famous as Charlie Chaplin.

The villa has an outdoor swimming pool and a private tennis court. It can be seen that Cheng Long has renovated it. There are rockery gardens and mountain springs in the courtyard. Hong Kong people believe in Feng Shui. Cheng Long rarely meets Song Yi who knows a little about Feng Shui, so he naturally introduces the design of the courtyard to him.

In addition to this, all the doors of Cheng Long's living room can be opened. California has good weather all year round. Looking at the tall palm trees and lawns in the courtyard, you can have a party in the courtyard that can accommodate dozens of people at any time. The villa has a total of seven bedrooms and eight bathrooms, which is similar to the residences of other celebrities in Bive Hill.

Song Yi remembers that Jackie Chan sold this luxury house around 2005 because he had fallen out of favor in the Hollywood market. Without box office appeal, he returned to the Chinese film industry and starred in "New Police Story".

"Rush Hour 2" was the peak of Jackie Chan's career. His subsequent films "The Spy" and "The Tuxedo" received mediocre responses. This year's "Royal Eleven" was looked down upon by critics before it was even released.

In the fiercely competitive Hollywood market, no matter how big a movie star you are, if two of your movies fail at the box office in a row, you will have to start over with low-budget movies, and then work your way back to A-level blockbusters.

For North American movie fans, they are already somewhat tired of Jackie Chan, and his movies are not that interesting. In addition, Jackie Chan is about to turn 50, so the fighting scenes in his movies are naturally not as exciting as when he was young. Coupled with the rise of Hollywood special effects movies, the decline of Jackie Chan and Jet Li has become inevitable. However, Jackie Chan left a star on the Avenue of Stars last year, so he has no regrets in his acting career.

At this time, Jin Xiyuan and Jun Zhixian also walked from the courtyard to the living room. Jin Xiyuan said to Song Yi: "Compared to PV Island, this house is a bit quiet in a bustling place. The privacy of the villa is also very good. The green belts around it separate each residence in Beverly Hills into a piece of wheat field, which is well-organized."

Cheng Long saw Jun Ji-hyun at this time and couldn't help but say to her, "After learning that Miss Jun Ji-hyun was playing the role of Xiao Long, I took some time to watch the movie My Naughty Girlfriend. Jun Ji-hyun's performance was very brilliant. She looked like a high school girl in her school uniform, without any trace of acting."

Before coming to Los Angeles, Jun Ji-hyun was reminded by Song Yi that Cheng Long was more enthusiastic towards the female stars in the same crew, and asked her to keep her distance.

Being praised by a senior like Cheng Long, Jun Ji-hyun's expression was very calm, "Thank you for the compliment, Cheng Long. It may be because I just left high school not long ago, so I can get into the role quickly."

Cheng Long's expression froze. After his observation, he knew that Jin Xiyuan and Song Yi had a close relationship and they were very intimate when they chatted together. He knew that Jun Ji-hyun was a contracted artist of New Asia Management and was looking for an opportunity to work with the young and beautiful Jun Ji-hyun. He originally thought that "Kung Fu Panda" was an opportunity, but Jun Ji-hyun didn't seem to be interested in him.

Cheng Long still did not give up, and said to Jun Ji-hyun: "I think Miss Jun Ji-hyun has a kind of classical oriental beauty. I want to shoot a costume film recently, and I think your image is very suitable for playing the role of the Qin princess in the film."

Jun Ji-hyun's expression was still calm, but her attitude was very polite. "Regarding borrowing to film other companies' movies, I need to ask our agency for their opinion. It just so happens that our President Kim is here. Please wait a moment, I will ask for her opinion."

My Naughty Girlfriend has already been shown in mainland China, and Jun Ji-hyun is already well-known in the mainland film market. She doesn't need to collaborate with Cheng Long to make a name for herself in mainland China. New Asia Films can't even make enough films to produce itself, so how could she be interested in starring in films produced by other film companies?

When Jun Ji-hyun found Song Yi and told him that Cheng Long wanted to invite her to star in a costume film and let her play a princess of Qin, Song Yi laughed out loud. Isn't this "The Myth" starring Cheng Long and Kim Hee Sun?

In fact, the original male lead of the movie "Myth" was Kim Sung-woo, and the screenwriter actually created the movie based on Kim Sung-woo's image. However, after Cheng Long saw the script and the female lead Kim Hee-sun, they were excited and cut in on Kim Sung-woo and took the initiative to recommend themselves to star in the movie. Could it be that Tang Jili has already written the script for "Myth"?

Song Yi said to Jin Xiyuan, "Since Brother Cheng Long has asked, you should come forward and refuse. Just say that our New Asia artists are not considering appearing in works of other film and television companies at the moment, and Jun Ji-hyun is no exception."

"By the way, I'm quite interested in his villa. I'm willing to buy it for $12.8 million. When you come to Los Angeles on business in the future, it will be more convenient to stay in Beverly Hills than in PV Island."

Song Yi glanced at Jun Ji-hyun and said, "Ji-hyun, you can also stay here during the filming of Kung Fu Panda. Remember not to bring back any messy crew friends."

Cheng Long was a little confused for a moment. It was not surprising that Jun Ji-hyun refused to act in "Myth". After all, Jin Xiyuan made it very clear that artists under New Asia would not act in works of other film and television companies. The reason why Jun Ji-hyun acted in "Kung Fu Panda" was also because New Asia Films had invested in it.

But how come Song Yi spent 12.8 million US dollars to buy his villa after just visiting it for the first time? So these super-rich people buy houses as casually as they buy vegetables?

However, Jin Xiyuan's words made Cheng Long feel uncomfortable. Jin Xiyuan explained: "Considering that Zhixian will be in Los Angeles for a long time to shoot "Kung Fu Panda", we can't bear to let her live in a hotel alone, so we want to buy a house for her to stay in the future."

Cheng Long was stunned. It turned out that you disagreed with Jun Ji-hyun starring in the movie "The Myth" with him, and now you want to buy his house for Jun Ji-hyun to live in.

You mean to tell me that Jun Ji-hyun is an artist that Shin Asia values ​​very much and is not someone you can take advantage of.

Moreover, Jin Xiyuan's attitude was very indifferent, giving Cheng Long the impression that it was up to you to sell it or not. Anyway, if you didn't sell it, she could buy a larger mansion in Beverly Hills with a better location...

The original male lead of the movie Mythology was indeed Takeshi Kaneshiro. Handsome men and beautiful women like Takeshi Kaneshiro and Kim Hee Sun seem more entertaining, right?
