Chapter 334: Chaebol Grievances
"I'm Lee Jae-hyun, Chairman of CJ Group!"
At the awards ceremony, Ding Cheng took the business card with both hands, CJ?
It seems to be known as Korea's No. 1 film distribution company?
Following the other party to a quiet place, Lee Jae-hyun said politely: "First of all, congratulations on winning the Big Bell Award, which is the most authoritative honor in our country." ”
Ding Cheng smiled and nodded, waiting for the next business, as the biggest entertainment leader in South Korea, he would never be idle to chat with himself, right?
"That's the case...... Lee Jae-hyun didn't talk nonsense, and said straight to the point: "This time I hope to fight for cooperation opportunities, although the strength of showbox is okay, but there is still a gap compared with our company!"
Ding Cheng continued to smile without saying a word, the strength of the four major film investment companies in South Korea is very different, mainly distribution channels, CJ is one of the world's top 500 companies, with the most theaters, and has in-depth cooperation with DreamWorks.
"You can check the strength of our company for yourself, and I believe you will not be disappointed. ”
"I've seen a lot of your work, the acting is amazing, the dedication is also well-known, and the box office of the three films last year also fully proved your commercial value, which is also the reason for wanting to cooperate. ”
Lee Jae-hyun is worthy of being a big boss, and his outspoken attitude is full of confidence, and he said demagoguously: "We have a lot of excellent works every year, and many potential directors are eager to try, such as "Female Police Detective" and "One of God's Hands" starring Luo Meilan. ”
"Yoo Seung-ryong and Lee Ha-ni's "Extreme Occupation" was also the box office champion of the year. There are also "Bad Guys" led by Ma Dong-seok, "Sha Po Ha" by Lee Jung-jae and Park Jung-min, and "Wardrobe" by Ha Jung-woo and Kim Nam-gil ......"
"And last year's most popular, Parasite!"
stood up and said seriously before leaving: "If you have time tomorrow, please come to the company to talk, and you will definitely not be disappointed." ”
Ding Cheng nodded and agreed, since showbox doesn't have a good script in his hand, he can't hang himself from a tree, right?
Back at the hotel, Su Yao began to check the information, and suddenly said in surprise: "Good guy, CJ is actually a relative of Samsung Group?"
Seeing that Ding Cheng was confused, he explained: "The founder of Samsung Group is called Li Bingzhe, who has established a huge Samsung empire with his advanced vision and good luck. ”
"The old man has three sons and five daughters, the three sons are Li Mengxi, Li Changxi, and Li Jianxi, according to tradition, the eldest son Li Mengxi must be the first successor, but there were many problems after he took over the company, and the second son Li Changxi was imprisoned for his father for smuggling saccharin, and finally he could only choose the third child as his successor. ”
As a result, the eldest and second child must be dissatisfied, and the prince's rebellion broke out in 73, and the second child collected evidence to report to the president that his father had violated the law, but unfortunately the uprising failed and he was imprisoned by family law. The boss was also suspected of being the mastermind, lost trust, ran to our country for refuge, and actually died of old age in the capital. ”
"The brothers of the wealthy family turned against each other, and they did not get along with each other in old age. Although the eldest is gone, a pair of children are very competitive, and CJ Group, especially the eldest sister Lee Mi-kyung, a standard strong woman, is not only the largest food company, but also plays entertainment and media. ”
"The world's top 500 ranks 463, with an annual operating income of 27 billion US dollars!"
Ding Cheng was a little surprised, good guy, can earn more than 100 billion yuan a year?
"Like Wang Shoufu, he has a lot of money and likes to spend money to build a movie theater. Mnet, TVN, OCN, CVG Cinema, Genie Music, and Stone Music Korea are all owned by CJ Entertainment. ”
Ding Cheng nodded, no wonder he was so domineering, and asked curiously: "Then why is Lee Jae-hyun in charge now?"
"It's not because of Aunt Park's involvement!" the little girl interjected next to her: "If you want to say that Li Meijing was a god in the entertainment industry back then, and he was the undisputed overlord, but unfortunately now he has retired to the United States and has not shown up for a long time." ”
After Aunt Park's impeachment case was launched, the major chaebols were investigated one after another, and all of them were seeking justice for how their own companies were oppressed by her, and CJ was among them. ”
It is even said that movies such as "International Market" and "Incheon Landing Operation", which were known to promote the patriotic spirit back then, were aimed at catering to Aunt Park's preferences, and to put it bluntly, they were stinky feet. ”
"There's no way, I originally wanted to abandon the car and push Li Meijing out as a scapegoat, but the result was ......"
Ding Cheng pouted, he deserved it!
Su Yao didn't know what black material she had found, so she couldn't wait to analyze it: "Don't say that although Samsung's parents are incompatible, the superficial relationship between Lee Jae-yong and Lee Jae-hyun is still okay, South Korea is particularly popular The head of the chaebol goes to prison, and the three generations of the Li family can't escape." ”
"When Lee Jae-hyun was imprisoned for tax evasion, Lee Jae-yong also wrote a petition for commutation, of course, the courtesy was still exchanged, and after Lee Jae-yong was imprisoned for bribery, he also returned a petition. ”
"If the two families really have any happy events, they will still pretend to send relatives to attend, but after so many years, the media has never taken a photo of two people in the same frame, do you say funny or not?"
Ding Cheng took the information that had just been printed, and asked Sister Hua to check the bottom of CJ by the way, and he couldn't blame himself for being cautious, after all, it was a transnational cooperation, and he was careful to sail a ship for ten thousand years.
found that on the business map, Samsung and CJ rarely touched each other's areas of expertise, except for a place where soldiers must fight:
Media Resources!
Samsung's media include JTBC, JoongAng Daily, and J's media are TVN, D, and Daum.
Because whoever controls the media will have the right to speak and political capital. Therefore, in South Korea, whether it is the three major stations, cable stations, or various websites, broadcasts, newspapers and magazines, there are chaebol forces and political forces behind them.
Even Sun Shixi last time, he leaned on the thigh of the Central Daily behind his back, and to put it bluntly, he was the grandchild of Samsung.
This year, D Club has released photo albums for some boy groups, all of whom are from companies that have a good relationship with CJ, and publishing a photo album can even be seen as giving D social protection money, and of course, it is also a way for CJ to change direction and support D Society.
Put down the information and asked Su Yao, "What do you think?"
"As long as the political leanings are okay, why don't you cooperate?" Su Yao said with a smile: "The four major companies in South Korea, in fact, showbox is the worst, and even Lotte can't do it." ”
"The reason why I found us at that time was also to use your box office influence to open up the Chinese-speaking market, to put it bluntly, I was forced by others to do nothing. ”
"Of course, we also want to test the water, but now it's different from the past, your commercial value has been recognized by the box office, and the two actors are a symbol of word-of-mouth, why should you hang yourself on a tree now?"
"That's it!" Before Ding Cheng could speak, the little girl hurriedly said: "Now we are fragrant and sweet, it must be the one with the highest price, and the most important thing is to join forces." ”
Ding Cheng nodded and didn't speak, Su Yao saw this, understood the old cadre's thoughts, and said: "What's more, let's set up our own door now, when you meet a good book, you can not only enjoy the show, but the company can also try to invest and operate, after all, the salary of 20 million yuan is not a small amount, especially for Korean investors." ”
"My suggestion is to directly invest in the shares with a salary, try to strive for domestic distribution rights, and cooperate with Yu Fatzi when the time comes, and everyone will earn money together!"
Ding Cheng looked at Yao Zai, who was full of confidence, and sighed that the self-reliance portal was really different, and he was hard to speak!
Since that's the case, let's go chat tomorrow, making money or not making money is secondary, the main thing is a good script, and the money is naturally soft when it is filmed.
