Highest Couple [Entertainment]

Chapter 160

"Oh, Yunho, you're here." Li Xiuman put down the stack of photos he was looking at, and raised his head to greet Zheng Yunhao who entered the office.After Zheng Yunhao approached to say hello, he pushed the stack of photos together with several documents in front of Zheng Yunhao: "Let's have a look."

Zheng Yunhao glanced at Li Xiuman calmly.Li Xiuman's expression is calm, his posture is relaxed, and it is hard to see how he is feeling.Jung Yunho lowered his head and picked up the photo.

On the top is a snapshot of Park Yoochun and two men getting ready to walk into a restaurant.Zheng Yunhao's expression froze, he probably guessed what Li Xiuman wanted him to see.He immediately looked down carefully, and the more he looked, the more serious his face became.

It turned out that as early as last year, Park Yoochun borrowed money from Li Eunzai, and then this person introduced him to Baek Changsu, who had been Kwon Sangwoo's manager.Since then, the two have been in frequent contact.Although Zheng Yunhao has never met Baek Changsu, he has heard rumors about him.Bai Changzhu's father used to be the number two figure in the largest underworld society in South Korea, and he himself worked in the society.Later, he became an agent and used his underworld contacts to control and threaten artists.Most of the content in this survey data is the whereabouts of Bai Changzhu's frequent visits to underworld and entertainment industry bosses recently.

Zheng Yunhao couldn't help frowning.Although it is impossible to find the content of Baek Changsu's discussions with others in the investigation, how could Zheng Yunhao's mind fail to see the meaning behind these actions.They're going to-

"Although Park Yoochun betrayed SM, his actions during the termination of the contract even made me say 'he is a character'. I thought he had already found a strong next door, but I didn't expect him to be I plan to start my own family. Sure enough, I'm still too young." Li Xiuman's tone was flat, but his words were extremely sharp: "I don't know the heights of the sky and the depths of the earth."

"To create a new brokerage company, all parties must be involved. Consortiums, governments, political parties, TV stations, newspapers and magazines, underworld... This is just outside the circle, and it cannot be settled with Youtian's current ability. But since he I’d rather terminate the contract than leave SM, so it’s obvious that I don’t want to sign with a big company anymore.” Jung Yunho commented impersonally, but secretly sighed for Park Yoochun in his heart.

Zheng Yunhao didn't care about Baek Changsoo's underworld background.Korea's brokerage companies are more or less involved with gangsters, and DSP is a company known to have a gangster background.If he can't understand this, he doesn't have to hang out in the entertainment circle.What he is worried about is that the underworld has always regarded the entertainment industry as a sacred place for money laundering. With Baek Changsu's background and experience, it is obvious that the purpose of his establishment of a brokerage company is to help some people launder money.Unlike old companies that already have stable channels for money laundering and sufficient resilience, a newly established company will be eager for success in order to open up the situation.The stage of rapid expansion is the most prone to accidents.And one day he thought very well, relying on Baek Changsoo's gangsters and contacts in the entertainment industry to establish himself, but never thought that he could beat Baek Changsoo with his scheming methods?Although Baek Chang-soo's father is a high-ranking gangster, since the leader of the society, Jin Taicun, was imprisoned, the Pan-Western faction, once the largest society, has gradually declined and become a small gang.Baek Chang-soo's ability to get to his present position in the complicated underworld and entertainment industry shows how powerful he is.In the end, who will pave the way for whom, Zheng Yunhao is really not optimistic about Park Yoochun.

"Since they have chosen this path, it will be much easier to recover the situation in South Korea." Li Xiuman's tone was relaxed, obviously he already had a plan in mind.

Zheng Yunhao raised his head, and took this opportunity to raise his thoughts that he had been thinking for a long time: "Teacher, I want to fight for TVXQ's more autonomy, and the company's full support for TVXQ's return to Japan. I need your help."

"Returning to Japan? Did you already think about Japan before Korea was settled?" Li Xiuman smiled teasingly, but her eyes sharpened: "And if something like this happens, do you think the company will loosen its control over artists? ?”

"Take TVXQ's income in Korea as a concession, is this condition enough?" Jung Yunho replied to Li Xiuman in a deep voice.

Li Xiuman sat up straight and stared at Jung Yunho: "You mean that you and Changmin are willing to reduce the share of profits in Korea? How far can you go?"

"Now TVXQ and the company share a ratio of 6:4. If the company can reach an agreement with us, it is not impossible to change the 6:4 to 4:6, or even...more. It depends on how much autonomy the company is willing to give us. Right now." Zheng Yunhao added the fatal blow without haste, with an extremely calm and calm expression on his face: "Teacher, you are about to step down as chairman. Before you leave, should you return TVXQ to the company or to me? It should be clear how the two options differ for you."

Li Xiuman looked at his favorite student with complicated emotions.Although Zheng Yunhao didn't say it directly, he expressed his meaning very clearly.Although Li Xiuman is the founder of SM and the largest shareholder of SM, he has a huge influence on SM.However, SM is a mature listed company with a huge organization, strict division of internal powers, and division of labor and cooperation among employees.To step down is to step down, and even Li Xiuman is not sure if he wants to come back after leaving the power center.He must ensure that after he leaves, there are strong allies in SM who can support him to return to SM at any time.TVXQ is his trump card. Even though the contract was terminated in the middle of 09, TVXQ's earnings in this year have exceeded 60% of SM's turnover.It is definitely not an exaggeration to say that TVXQ can influence the fate of SM.

And those in power are inherently competitive, handing TVXQ to the company is tantamount to handing over to Li Xiuman's internal competitors after his return in the future.Only by handing it over to someone who will never compete with him for the leadership of SM and who can guarantee that TVXQ will have a good development in his hands can he really rest assured.Now it seems that the most suitable ally for him is Zheng Yunhao - an idol under a company.This somewhat made Li Xiuman, who insists that artists must obey the company's control, feel uncomfortable.But he had to agree.Because Li Xiuman felt Zheng Yunhao's decisive vision and courage from Zheng Yunhao's choice to let go of part of South Korea's interests.

TVXQ is the face of SM, after being severely slapped in the face, the company will support TVXQ's comeback even if it is to protect SM's dignity.What's more, I have invested so much in TVXQ in the early stage, since I can still make money, I must try my best to get more from this combination.If Jung Yunho doesn't give up this benefit, and even asks SM for better conditions to keep him, SM will still support TVXQ's comeback.But in business and business, starting a company is to maximize profits.If TVXQ's return to Japan requires too much effort and cost, SM probably thinks it's not worth it, and thinks it's more beneficial to squeeze TVXQ's surplus value directly.

But Jung Yunho has now lowered his share in Korea, which means that SM can get more from TVXQ, so much that compared to launching a new group with an unknown future, it is more in SM's interest to manage a stable top old group.He doesn't need to do anything, SM will willingly manage TVXQ's business in Korea well.On the contrary, SM has to pay in exchange for his concession, guaranteeing that TVXQ will return to Japan.Considering that TVXQ can make huge profits for SM in Japan, SM itself will not give up this market easily.

Behind Zheng Yunhao's seemingly unfavorable choice, there is a carefully calculated retreat to advance.

Young people are terrible.Now Li Xiuman's mind is full of this word.Zheng Yunhao is blatantly holding TVXQ and his own destiny in the palm of his hand.And he and SM knew that Zheng Yunhao was slowly getting out of control, but for their own benefit, they would voluntarily choose to cooperate with Zheng Yunhao, and even put their best efforts.

This is the power of the upright conspiracy.

"If you want me to help you, first let me see what step you can do." Li Xiuman put away the pile of investigation materials on the table, stood up and walked around the table to Zheng Yunhao: "You know what you are going to do today. "

"I know." Zheng Yunhao lowered his eyes slightly and looked at the ground: "Visit the endorsement business, come to ask for forgiveness."

"Although you used to often ask for sponsorships and socialize with people. But at that time, your status was the leader of the male team leader in the music industry, and you were an Asian star with a bright future. Even if you ask for something, everyone will do it because of you. Take a look at your achievements. Now that SM is under attack, and the group you belong to has no future in the eyes of others, it is time for you to feel the coldness of the world. When you go out to socialize in the future, you will hear countless sarcasm; I appreciate you Some sponsors will start to make things difficult for you, and even humiliate you; people who have been despised by you will also jump out and step on you."

Li Xiuman asked him: "What are you going to do?"

Li Xiuman looked into Zheng Yunhao's eyes: what are you going to do?Want to be patient?Do you want to restrain yourself?Do you want to compromise?Can you bear such a gap?

Jung Yunho looked at Lee Soo Man, looked back into his eyes and said calmly, "Don't give up TVXQ's dignity."

Li Xiuman smiled: "Leave it to you, I have nothing to worry about."

"Let's go." Li Xiuman patted Zheng Yunhao's shoulder.This big man who has stood at the top of the Korean music industry for more than ten years and has experienced countless storms pointed him meaningfully: "Yunho, watch carefully, life is still long~"

"Yes." Zheng Yunhao paused, a faint smile flickered from the corner of his mouth, and strode up to Li Xiuman in front of him.

--------

At the same time, Kim Ki-duk got off the train with his luggage and his little daughter by the hand.He looked up at the stop sign marked with the word Seoul, surrounded by people rushing by.He has not lived among the crowd for a long time, and all this makes him as strange as the last century.

Zhang Zhexiu walked up quickly, took the luggage from Jin Kiduk's hand, and bent down excitedly to say hello: "Teacher! You are finally back!"

Kim Ki-de felt helpless: "The two apprentices are going to make their debut films, how can I, as a teacher, throw you aside and let you fend for yourself."

Zhang Zhexiu was slightly taken aback: "How did you know I was going to make a movie?"

Kim Ki-duk glanced at him, and the three words "What do you think?" were written all over his face: "There is a person who comes to me every month to read the news and gossip. ...My head was about to explode from her reading."

Zhang Zhexiu suddenly realized, and felt a little embarrassed when facing the teacher checking the homework: "Oh! Did the junior sister tell you? She still told you this..." Zhang Zhexiu has had the idea of ​​a movie since 02. It took a long time to prepare for this "Jin Funan Murder Incident" to be put on the agenda until this year. The preparatory work has been completed and the filming will start at the beginning of next year.The shooting date coincided with Jin Eunhe's "Heading the Earth".It is also because of this that Zhang Zhexiu, who once worked as the assistant director of "Samaritan Girl" and took care of Jin Eunhe, did not take over "Heading the Earth".

Kim Ki-duk smiled, and reached out to pat Zhang Zhexiu on the shoulder: "Let's go. After putting down the luggage, let's go to the film company first."

When Kim Ki-duk hid in the countryside, his film company was still running well with the help of a few apprentices.Kim Ki-duk walked all the way and listened to Zhang Zhexiu's report on the operation of the film company during this period. When he walked through the conference room, he heard two familiar voices coming from inside.He stopped in his tracks, stretched out his hand to signal Zhang Zhexiu not to speak, and approached the door quietly.

"...Your newly revised script added the reactions of a large number of audience seats. Is it to express the spirit of the Red Devils?" Quan Zaihong pushed the unfolded script in front of Jin Eunhe.

Jin Eunhe nodded: "Yes. A simple sports inspirational film is a bit weak in conception. The theme of "Heading the Earth" is "Nothing is above a dream except life". Brother, don’t you think the spirit of not giving up is the same as the Red Devils spirit of Korean football? Moreover, I wrote Cha Bong-jun based on Yunho’s personality. They are connected together. It is easy for the audience to establish the association of 'Jung Yunho=Red Sea=Red Devil' based on their usual impressions. If Cha Bong-jun is portrayed as the incarnation of the spirit of the Red Devil, the whole movie will immediately be sublimated to a higher level."

"But..." Quan Zaihong hesitated a little: "Is this a bit opportunistic?"

"Honestly speaking, Brother Yunho is not a professional actor. It is impossible for him to support a movie with his acting skills. Only by relying on his true performance and these...deliberate designs with skill and purpose can he achieve it. Good results." Jin Enhe frankly admitted his selfishness.What she didn't say was that in TVXQ's contract termination incident, those three people's manipulation of public opinion still caused damage to Zheng Yunhao's reputation.She can't follow their clumsy methods to whitewash Zheng Yunhao, so she can only use this movie to create an upright and unyielding masculine impression of Zheng Yunhao among Korean passers-by.

"Okay." Quan Zaihong reluctantly let go of this first, and talked about another aspect of his worries: "But with the addition of the audience seats, the cost will be difficult to control. We need to invite many extras and cooperate with the leading actors. The shooting of the plot during the game will undoubtedly increase the difficulty for the protagonists, and will prolong the shooting time. Shimei, the rent of the main stadium is very expensive! And you have to shoot both the grandeur of the big scene and the close-up close-up to show the audience emotions, then you need to add a lot of cameras... Where are you going to find a big investment for you?"

"I have thought about this~" Jin Enhe replied happily. She opened the storyboard script she drew, found the plot of a game, and took a pencil to mark several places on the panorama: "Here, here, here, And here, arrange a camera to take a panoramic view of the competition venue. Here, here, here..." She scribbled and quickly circled a few places: "Arrange a camera in each of these locations, and you can place a camera in each of these locations. Arrange some experienced actors to undertake the part of the audience close-up performance. In this way, the performances of the leading actors and the audience in the stands can be filmed at the same time, saving the rental cost of the venue. I think that even if the extras in the auditorium make mistakes, they will not There may be large-scale mistakes and crashes. With so many lenses used at the same time, we can always capture enough material for post-cutting.”

Quan Zaihong stared blankly: "Junior Sister, I just debuted...I only made one movie...Directing 28 cameras at the same time, you think I'm a teacher!"

Jin Eunhe is not very familiar with every senior brother.Except for Zhang Zhexiu who left a deep impression on him during the cooperation, and because he was young at the time, he was taken care of by him.In fact, Jin Eunhe is the closest to Quan Jaehong.After all, he was picked up on the plane that Jin Eunhe starred in "The Bow" won the award in Cannes, and he is also a fan of Kim Kidd, and he has the most common language.I can't stop talking about Kim Ki-duk's movies!So she patted Quan Jaehong on the back vigorously, and said in a deep voice, "Brother Quan, you are the one who was invited to the Berlin Film Festival as soon as the director made his debut ~ I believe in you!"

Quan Zaihong was about to cry: "I don't believe in myself QAQ..."

Kim Ki-duk heard the present quietly, and finally laughed.

"Since you've made up your mind, why don't you be the director yourself?" Kim Ki-duk pushed open the half-closed door and strode in.

"Teacher! Brother!" Jin Enhe and Quan Zaihong hurriedly stood up and saluted.

Zhang Zhexiu stood behind Jin Kiduk, looking at his younger brothers and sisters and smiling.

Kim Ki-duk picked up the storyboard script drawn by Jin Eunhe himself, flipped through a few pages, then held up the script and shook Jin Eunhe and asked, "Why do you have to find someone to direct? Isn't this very well drawn~"

"However, I have never studied directing." Jin Eunhe said unconfidently: "Being a screenwriter is already distrustful, and a director needs to grasp the overall control. I can't do it... "

Kim Ki-duk put down the script, stared at Jin Eun-he for a while, and only said when he saw that she was starting to feel uneasy, "How many years ago did you first enter the set?"

Jin Eunhe thought for a while and replied, "It was about ten years ago."

"How many years have you been filming since your official debut?" Kim Ki-duk asked again.

"Eight years." Jin Eunhe replied, already vaguely guessing what Jin Kiduk meant by asking these questions.

Looking at Jin Eunhe, Kim Ki-duk asked slowly but firmly, "In the past eight years, how many types of movies have you filmed? How many famous directors have you worked with? How many film festivals have you been to? How many ordinary actors have you met in your life? The superb and exquisite shooting techniques and directing style that are hard to come by?"

Jin Eunhe's heart suddenly beat violently.

Kim Ki-duk didn't wait for Jin Eun-he's answer this time.He continued with a calm expression: "When I was 32 years old, I was just an amateur painter who had worked as a worker and taught myself to paint for a few years. I started writing scripts because I had no money to eat. I never thought that one day I would be a screenwriter. And I had no film education until I wrote and directed The Crocodile Diary for the first time.”

He sonorously asked: "You are my apprentice, you have been in the film industry for ten years, enough to tell anyone that you are an expert in this field, why can't you be a director?"

"I..." Jin Enhe tried his best to suppress his trembling voice: "I'm afraid of the consequences of messing up. I think it's always better to be cautious. I'm so impulsive..."

"But film is an art, and art requires impulsiveness!" Kim Ki-duk interrupted her, waved his big hand impatiently, and said bluntly: "The subject matter and story of your film are not particularly novel, and there is nothing too special about it." Deep and obscure philosophical connotations. The only thing that makes it special is the intensity of emotion you pour into the movie and the love you have for your boyfriend! Eun Ho, don't you understand? It's in your heart No one can replace you to present it completely."

Jin Enhe opened his mouth, wanting to say something, but the phone rang suddenly at this moment.Seeing the name of Amano Koichi displayed on the phone, Jin Eunhe remembered what day it is today——On November 11, the Hochi Film Awards and Yamaji Film Awards will announce this year's winners.

There are many film awards in Japan.Like Jin Eun and the Yokohama Film Festival and Film Critics Association Awards, which have won the best actress, are not the most influential ones.Japan’s truly credible and influential film awards in the hearts of the people are the six awards that are awarded successively from November to February of the following year: Hochi Film Award, Yamaji Ayako Film Award, Nikkan Sports Film Awards, Japanese Blue Ribbon Awards, Film Xunbao Awards and the Japanese Academy of Film Awards, commonly known as the Japanese Oscars.Its importance is in increasing order.At this time, it is a year-end inventory of the Japanese film industry.

The film summary of 09 is that on November 11, the "Hochi Movie Awards" selected by Japan's "Hochi Sports" announced the nomination list for the 13th session of 09, which opened the 34 Japan Sixth National Film Festival. The prologue of the film award selection.Jin Eunhe was nominated for the Best Actress Award for his two films "Air Doll" and "Weirong's Wife".Before the announcement of the winners, Nakama Yukie and Jin Eunhe, who starred in the movie version of "Golden Star" this year, had the highest voices.Nakama Yukie has such a high voice because of her own high reputation and the popularity of the movie. Since Hochi Films has increased readers' participation in voting since 2009, the audience's preferences also have a great impact on the award.But almost everyone knows that although there are many powerful actresses in Japanese movies in 07, there are no outstanding roles. The performance in a play has an overwhelming advantage in this year's best actress competition.The reality is also evident. In all the film festivals this year, Jin Eunhe was both shortlisted for Best Actress.

Jin Eunhe's only disadvantage is that she is a foreigner.

So Amano Hongichi is full of confidence in Jin Eunhe this year, but also full of apprehension: If Jin Eunhe wins the award today, she will achieve another breakthrough in the history of Japanese film, and she will be the first foreigner to win the best actress of the six major film awards.But will she be able to break Japan's xenophobic habits?

"Enhe-san! Enhe-san!" Amano Hongichi said excitedly on the phone: "This morning, the list of winners of Hochi Films was first announced, but it is a pity that Nakama Yuki Hui-san snatched the best actress from us. Although we said I really like Yukie... No, that's not the point! The point is the afternoon!"

After listening to Amano Hongichi's words, Jin Eunhe turned his head, looked at Kim Kiduk and the two senior brothers with bright eyes, and said softly: "Teacher, senior brother, I have won an award. I just won the Best Actress in the Shanlu Fumiko Film Award .”

Amano Hongichi was still talking passionately on the other end of the phone, and the voice was so loud that it spread from the phone to the meeting room here.Kim Ki-duk, Zhang Zhexiu, and Jeon Jae-hong heard a string of birdsong with black lines: "Since there is a precedent for the Shanlu Fumiko Award, the psychological burden on the judges of other awards will be much less. Eun and Sang, hurry back to Japan, There are still four awards waiting for you! Go back to Japan and prepare for the awards ceremony..."

Jin Eunhe ignored Amano Hongichi's incoherent speech.Although President Zheng Xu said that she was overconfident, but this movie has already been put on the agenda and cannot be given up. If you are overconfident, you are overconfident.Because people who don't even have self-confidence can't do big things.Since the teachers think she can do it, since no one can replace her...

She looked at Kim Ki-duk with piercing eyes: "Will this good news increase the confidence of the people in me? Then, let's take this opportunity and announce that I will be the director of "Heading the Earth"!"

After finishing speaking, she looked at Zhang Zhexiu and Quan Zaihong uncertainly: "Senior brother Zhexiu, brother Zaihong, I can do it."

Zhang Zhexiu nodded with a smile: "It seems that next year will be the year for our brothers and sisters to debut together."

Quan Zaihong breathed a sigh of relief: "Little junior sister, you still need a director assistant, right? Why don't you let me be your assistant? As long as you don't let me be the director."

Once a decision was made, Jin Eunhe no longer felt anxious, and his mind was settled.After listening to Quan Zaihong's words, she was not polite to him, and agreed openly: "Okay! With the help of my senior brother, I will be more confident!"

Kim Ki-duk looked at Jin Eun-he, but he thought of his inner touch when he made the decision to return to the film session: You child probably won't know that when I escaped to the countryside, it was you who used "Nothing but life" What can be above dreams" This sentence woke me up.It makes me feel how hypocritical and cowardly it is for a 50-year-old man like me to exile myself for that little betrayal and hurt.You understand the value of dreams, and you also understand the price someone pays to realize their dreams.You know what a painful and torturous path it was for that person.So, this is a story that only you can tell well.

The author has something to say: I have always felt that Master Hao's achievements on stage are amazing, but his ability off stage is even more amazing.Dongshin was almost certain to lose under the circumstances back then. As a result, Hao Ye insisted on using the Japanese market to contain Korean companies, and Korean companies to contain Japanese companies, and grabbed a glimmer of life in the cracks and successfully turned the tables.Japanese and Korean idols are truly legends for their sake~

It feels like every time Kim Ki-duk comes out, Eun-ho is so swollen!
