Chapter Eighty-Three: The Great Chapter
In January, after a snowstorm in Seoul, the ice gradually melted.
The bright sun hung in the blue sky, the sun sprinkled warmly, in the distance, a few days ago the waves were still rolling up the ice and snow of the riverside, now has exposed the gray class of the embankment, the lawn behind the J.H headquarters building, also exposed to the sky yellow, a little snow white mixed in, the river breeze blows, the grass is low, the sun shines on the roots of the withered carpet, some young seedlings have broken through the soil at some point, and the green is shaken.
Standing in the spacious office on the fourth floor, Jiang Hudong overlooked and looked at these open-minded scenes, and then looked back at An Junhyuk, who was making tea by himself, and his eyes couldn't help but be a little complicated.
The scene when I saw Ahn Joon-hyuk for the first time seems to be vivid.
A handsome-looking, if not a newcomer with a stiff outline, almost makes people think that he is a girl, like many debutant singers, polite, respectful, and humble to his predecessors, and takes the initiative to visit the waiting room, and when he meets, he bows and speaks softly...... But in fact, these behaviors are not too prominent, many newcomers come over like this, some people are slowly becoming famous, and more are just like shooting stars gliding across the night sky.
has been in the industry for ten years, climbing up step by step from a small person, Jiang Hudong has seen too many artists from rise to fall, from ambition to depression, from being healthy and cheerful, and gradually wandering in the numbness of alcohol and vanity. So the first impression of Ahn Junhyuk was only his beautiful appearance, as well as those deep and sharp eyes.
When many people looked at Ahn Jun Hyuk at the beginning, they had the same attitude!
Who would have thought. How did this young man become so powerful in a short period of time?
He sighed.
Over there, An Junhe, who had already made tea, woke him up from his thoughts with the elegant fragrance of tea: "Brother Hudong, come, try the authentic Anxi Tieguanyin brought by me from China, the taste is very different from the green tea we are used to, and it has a different taste." It's a pity that President Park, who likes to drink tea the most today, is not here, otherwise this tea is just right for him to show his kung fu. β
Jiang Hudong restrained his somewhat flirtatious emotions, and hurriedly half-got up and took the small cup of tea that An Junhyuk held. Neck grinning. "I'm a person, it's almost the same to give me meat, and inviting me to drink tea is purely cow chewing peonies, hahaha β
Ahn Jun Hyuk Waner. Brought another cup of tea to the young man who followed Jiang Hudong. "Luo Yingshi xi. Please!"
"Thank you...... Uh, President Xie Lu. β
Luo Yingshi was a little restrained, and in fact, this time the investment business circle was designated as J.H Company. Most of it is his credit. Although he has a small position in the KBS system, he has a deeper understanding of the current influence of J.H Entertainment than Jiang Hudong, and when he and Jiang Hudong decided to get rid of those people's difficulties and introduce external investment, he immediately set his sights on J.H.
is different from Jiang Hudong, who has seen An Junhyuk acting in a low-key and humble way at the beginning of his career, An Junhyuk in Luo Yingshi's eyes has always been a giant who controls a huge group and has entered the superstructure of the entertainment industry, every decision can affect the lives of hundreds of people, and every strategy made can lead or shake the market.
In his eyes, Ahn Jun-hyuk is like a big man like the Taili Art Bureau, the Host Bureau or the Director of the Information Bureau, and he is not at all a level 4 PD (administrative level, the lowest level of PD, the highest level is level 1) can be approached at will.
For his restrained performance, Ahn Junhyuk smiled, disagreed, and after raising his hand to signal that he was going to take care of himself, he looked at Jiang Hudong, who was blowing in front of the teacup, pondered it, and said: "Brother Hudong, we have known each other for almost two years, and I don't pretend to be ignorant, I know the purpose of your visit this time." But there is a sentence I want to explain first, although J.H is my company, it also has its own rules and regulations, and business things must be done in accordance with business procedures, after all, I am also responsible for the whole company, I mean, can you understand?"
His tone is very sincere, official business does not mean that the process is completely standardized, part of the situation still has to be talked about, Jiang Hudong asked Liu Zaishi to lobby, then no matter how official he is, he has to give Liu Zaishi some face, so it is better to open the skylight at the beginning and say bright words, so as to save the lack of communication and bad face.
Hearing his words, Jiang Hudong, who had just taken a sip of tea soup, hurriedly put down the teacup, nodded and said: "Understand, I understand, I already told me in Shi yesterday, you are embarrassed to bother, and it is not the reason to be friends if you think too much!
Ahn Joon-hyuk was amused by his analogy, but in his selfish heart, his impression of him changed a little. This rough-looking MC has a dexterous mind that is inversely proportional to his appearance, and he is a smart person.
This made An Junhe put away a little perfunctory, and said with a smile: "Brother Hudong can understand, then it couldn't be better, yesterday I asked Brother Shi to tell you to sort out a detailed information, I don't know ......"
"Ah, it's ready. Jiang Hudong made a color to Luo Yingshi, and next to him, Luo Yingshi, who had been a little uneasy, immediately took out a material from the briefcase he carried, held it in both hands and handed it to An Junhe.
Then, the two watched with apprehension and anticipation as Ahn Junhyuk opened the cover and read silently.
The material is the result of the two of them working hard overnight, although they are in a bit of a hurry, but they also think that they are quite complete, and they express their ideas and plans some time ago quite clearly, after all, they have condensed their hard work.
Sunlight poured in from the corner of the floor-to-ceiling window facing east, staining the carpet golden, and a faint halo reflected it, enveloping Ahn Joon-hyuk's figure.
The two looked at Ahn Junhyuk half-leaning on the sofa, flipping through the documents, while sitting upright and groaning, the light embedded a layer of gold in his silhouette, and when it fell into his eyes, he seemed to clearly feel a certain solemn and depressed aura emanating from it. Even if they were apprehensive, the two couldn't help but glance at each other, and they both saw a hint of brilliance in each other's eyes.
In particular, Jiang Hudong was even more touched.
The modest appearance of Ahn Junhyuk, who I had seen before, came to mind. Compared with the picture in front of me, in a trance, a feeling of time like morning dew rose. Although he already has an understanding of Ahn Junhyuk's status today, until this moment, he realized the apprehension in his heart, and realized the authority of the other party to decide his own hard work and even affect his future with one will, and his heart was heavy.
It's as close as a moat!
Gradually, some inherent impressions in his heart began to fade, which was reflected in the outside, that is, he slightly lowered half of his body, and subconsciously lowered his posture.
Ahn Jun-hyuk didn't pay attention to any of this. Take your time and look at it for a while. In fact, most of the materials prepared by the two are in the nature of the script outline, which only provides a clear selling point idea, although the idea is only a one-sided thought. There is no clear market research to back this up. But the preparation is also sufficient.
Flipped over again. He suddenly found that the material had no name, and he couldn't help frowning and raised his head slightly. "Haven't you decided on a name for the show yet?"
"Yes, it's not official. Jiang Hudong put his hands on his knees and bowed in reply.
"Oh, listen to Brother Hudong, there are already alternatives?"
Luo Yingshi on the other side replied: "Yes, President An, the form of the show is survival in the wild, according to the plan, the first phase will probably take two days, one night or two nights, so I discussed with Hudong and used this as the name." β
Ahn Junhyuk was stunned: "Two days and one night?"
"Uh...... Yes, but it can also be called two days and two nights, and I haven't made up my mind yet......"
Ahn Jun-hyuk didn't listen to the latter words, and after being stunned for a moment, he smiled silently.
Unexpectedly, it was actually this show......
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
In the future foreshadowed by the dream, Ahn Jun-hyuk has not watched "Two Days and One Night", but it does not prevent him from knowing that there is this show, which created the so-called "wild variety show" genre, and in the future, because of the ratings performance of the TV series, which surpasses the traditional small-screen overlord, with a rating of 50%, dominates the headlines of various newspapers, and for a long time, it ranks first and dominates the group.
Because of this, it left a deep impression on Ahn Jun-hyuk in the dream, and even now, he remembers it after a little memory.
He didn't expect that this unintentional move would actually get this show.
What does the 50% rating represent, Ahn Junhyuk, who has now penetrated into the industry, naturally understands it very well. Such high ratings, not to mention the rising prices of product placement and sponsorship, just the ratings themselves can greatly improve the overall image and commercial operation ability of a TV station facing the outside world.
This part of the image and ability is not for the general public, but a huge number of advertisers of TV stations, any program with a rating of more than 30%, can help TV stations to increase the entire time period, and even the advertising price of the entire channel is extremely large, it can be said that more than 30% of the ratings, the benefit is not the program itself, but the entire TV station.
Otherwise, why did KBS want to cooperate with Ahn Joon-hyuk? Not because he starred in "Kim Sam-soon", and the 50% rating made MBC make a lot of money.
When he learned that Jiang Hudong was looking for the program he invested in, he was actually the future overlord of variety shows, Ahn Junhyuk laughed, and couldn't help but think wildly, is this considered a person sitting at home, and wealth comes from outside the world?
Of course, he also understands that although luck accounts for part of this matter, the main thing is that J.H's strength is strong enough, otherwise, even if there is a chance, Jiang Hudong and Luo Yingshi will not find it, and further down, if the strength is not enough, even if they are lucky, they will not be able to eat it- Winning this show is equivalent to snatching food, and after it is broadcast, KBS recognizes its value, and then there is trouble, if the thighs are not hard enough, the TV station has a way to make you swallow it and spit it out.
Not to mention anything else, just dragging it out and not paying copyright dividends (including advertising, sponsorship, etc.) can bring down a small company.
Thinking that the opportunity came to him like this, he was careless before, if he hadn't taken care of Yoo Jae-seok, he would have almost missed it, and Ahn Jun-hyuk didn't know what to say.
The attitude of doing business itself is not wrong, he asked himself if he was not arrogant, he could only say that luck gave him a surprise and a joy, fortunately, he did not say anything from the beginning.
Now that he recognized the value of "Two Days and One Night", the next question was simple, and Ahn Joon-hyuk looked at part of the outline a little and gathered the script writers in the company and asked them to evaluate the potential of the script β which was of course a process. When the head of the writer's department saw Ahn Joon-hyuk and directly asked to evaluate the potential, instead of following the process to go through the market research office, planning office and other institutions, he didn't understand that his chairman had already made a decision to take down the script, and he had a green light all the way.
The next day, the production plan of the variety show directly named "Two Days and One Night" by Ahn Junhyuk was put on the desk of Park Young-joon, CEO of J.H Entertainment, and the next step was specific negotiations.
Talk to Jiang Hudong and Luo Yingshi, the two authors, and then talk to KBS!
It is not difficult to get the copyright from Jiang Hudong and Luo Yingshi, the difficulty lies in how to balance the interests. According to Luo Yingshi's requirements. He still hopes that the show will be broadcast on KBS. This makes it more difficult for the next step of negotiations, and if you want to reach a cooperation with KBS without harming your own interests, you may need protracted public relations lobbying.
But. That's nothing Ahn Joon-hyuk has to do anymore.
A trip to Japan that has been delayed for a long time. It's finally on the agenda.
This time I went to Japan. Out of commercial demand, the accompanying team sent by J.H Entertainment and J.H Music eventually reached the scale of 18 people. Fortunately, before March, there is no romance of cherry blossoms in full bloom, and there is no magnificence of lavender fields under Mt. Fuji in July and August.
Only Ahn Joon-hyuk, because he had to take so-jung and Ji-so, was inconvenient to take the flight, so he instructed to rent a private jet.
On January 15th, the faint sunset at dusk sank southwest of the Han River, Lin Xiujing, who had a big belly, was packing her luggage for tomorrow's departure. Zhilu said that she stayed at home all day and was ruthless, so Ahn Junhyuk didn't stop her, and only asked Jisoo to accompany her to take care of it.
After folding the last piece of clothing and putting it in the suitcase, she pulled the zipper with difficulty, although her waist was tired and a little painful, but she was sweating, and Lin Xiujing, who felt extremely comfortable, wiped her forehead and breathed a long sigh of relief.
"Comfortable?" asked Jisoo, who was accompanying him, as he took a bite of an apple.
Zhilu said that she was worried about the child, and she was a little dissatisfied, Lin Xiujing stuck out her tongue, and it was rare to be a little daughter: "Life lies in sports, I have to rust at home all day long, and that's not good for children!"
"Huh!" Jisoo rolled his eyes, "You're justified anyway." β
"Well, look, I'm not fine...... By the way, what about your brother?" Lin Xiujing hurriedly changed the subject.
glared at her, Jisoo still replied: "I'm still watching his news, and what kind of Apple conference is postponed." β
Thinking that Ahn Jun-hyuk has been paying attention to the Apple company in recent days, Lin Xiujing is a little worried: "Is it related to Facebook?"
ββ¦β¦ Probably not, I didn't hear my brother mention anything unusual about Facebook. Jisoo was stunned, looking at the half-bitten apple in his hand, and his tone was a little uncertain.
"Alas......" Lin Xiujing sighed, stroked her stomach with one hand, and slowly moved to the small balcony of the bedroom.
The small balcony with many potted plants is like a small garden planted in the air, the perennial constant temperature of the room, the winter cold does not deprive them of their leaves, the air that has just been sprinkled with water is extremely fresh, and the leaves of the flowers are stretched, revealing the jewel-like verdant in the afterglow of the sunset.
A recliner was placed on the side of the small balcony, Lin Xiujing sat on it, the recliner swayed gently, and the fiery clouds in the distant sky came into view, and the sunset was in twilight, just like her mood at this moment.
"Me...... Sometimes I really feel that I am quite useless, I can't understand a lot of things he thinks about, and I can't help them, what J.H did, what is the meaning, I have to read those hindsight analysis articles to understand. Facebook has no clue at all, and it can't even read the media's analysis articles...... Many times I saw him frowning and wanted to share the burden for him, but I didn't even have the ability to listen to him......"
Said a little gloomily, a slightly cold touch suddenly came from her hand, Lin Xiujing withdrew her confused gaze looking at the sky, turned her head, and it was Zhixiu who held her hand.
She smiled helplessly: "My sister-in-law, isn't it useless?"
"Well, it's pretty useless. Jisoo nodded.
Lin Xiujing was stunned, and immediately saw Zhixiu laugh out loud, "Stupid, you think you're useless like this, aren't you also talking about me? I also want to help my brother, but I haven't been able to help, and learning finance is not as fast as his development, so I should be even more uncomfortable, right?"
Lin Xiujing, who was frightened by her. patted his chest, then shook his head and said, "You are different from me......"
"How different! We're all family!"
"I ......" Lin Xiujing snorted a few times, this statement really made her unable to refute, so she had to mutter: "Anyway, it's different......"
"If you want to say different, of course there is. Jisoo shook his head and said eloquently: "I am his sister, my surname is Ann, and I naturally want to help him." You're his wife, your son. My little nephew's surname is Ann. So. Don't rob me of this business, let's raise my little nephew with peace of mind first!"
Lin Xiujing was so embarrassed by his crooked arguments that she couldn't cry or laugh, and was a little depressed: "Why do you always remember that you are a boy?"
"It has to be a boy for a boy to inherit the family business!"
Lin Xiujing was unhappy. "Ahn Ji-so. You're a woman too. How can you be so patriarchal? If it's a girl, don't you recognize her as an An's family?"
Although she didn't know whether the child was male or female - 6 months pregnant, she could naturally check her gender. It's just that Ahn Jun-hyuk doesn't want to know in advance whether the child is a man or a woman. He said that he missed the child's first fetal movement and did not want to miss the surprise of the unknown when the child was carried out of the delivery room. In his career, he likes to win, but emotionally, he obviously prefers fun full of unknowns, which is probably a kind of mood -
- But in any case, the child is the flesh on her body, and hearing Jisoo say that, she always feels a little uncomfortable.
Jisoo glanced at her with a smile: "If it's a girl...... Hmph!"
Xiujing vigilantly protected her stomach: "What do you want?"
"I told her I picked it up from the garbage!"
"............" Lin Xiujing couldn't cry or laugh, "How old are you, why are you still so naΓ―ve as Xueyun'er?" Besides, hmph, do you think I will let the child listen to you?"
"I'm an aunt, if you dare not listen to me, I'll ......"
"What about you?"
Jisoo raised his palm and cut it off, and said viciously: "I'll beat her back with an abortion needle!!"
β¦β¦
β¦β¦
In the living room downstairs, Ahn Junhyuk, who was browsing the US news on the Internet, didn't know that the two women on the road were fighting for their unborn child, and he was searching for the latest developments in Apple.
Whether in my memory, or the announcement issued by Apple at the end of last year, it said that around the middle of January, a new product launch conference will be held.
But now that the middle of the month is almost over, Apple still has no news, only stating on the official website that the conference will be postponed, and the specific postponement will be long, but no clear answer has been given.
Maybe because Apple's ticket bounce is not once or twice, people's reaction is not very intense, not enough eye-catching news, naturally no media is willing to dig deeper, Ahn Junhyuk wants to find the reason for Apple's ticket jump through news search, which is obviously very difficult.
Apple's new product launch conference, there was no need for him to pay attention to it personally, but unlike those who don't understand Steve Jobs' ambitions, Ahn Junhyuk, who came back from the dream future, is very aware of the impact of Apple's new product launch conference in 2007 on the world.
It was a change of time!
So according to his memory, since he didn't see the news of the press conference on January 9, he has been following Apple dynamics to understand what caused Steve Jobs to postpone the press conference.
Occasionally, he also thought that the famous butterfly effect might really exist, perhaps, when he was at the turning point of his life in 2004, the moment he forked from his original life, a small tributary was born on the river of time, and he took a different path from "history", this small tributary revolved around him, and then attracted more tributaries, more people changed because of his changes, and they affected the people around him......
The range grew larger and larger, and eventually, the tributaries broke through the barriers, stirring up the entire river.
It's just speculation, but in fact, a lot of things have changed since '04.
Some of the financial information I once remembered is no longer applicable, for example, in "history", IHQ was not punished for disrupting the financial market, SK was not implicated because of the collapse of Pantech, and in "history", the shadow of Weikai's collapse was covered up by the government and the media, those funds did not fall into the ground, and Qualcomm did not pursue royalties because of the chaos and anger of the management, SK was given enough time to contact all parties and pulled Pantech back from the brink of bankruptcy without danger.
But now, since J.H. intervened, everything has gone haywire, and how much has this changed the entire financial market in South Korea?
Ahn Jun-hyuk has not specifically investigated and counted, and there is no way to count such indirect factors, so it is impossible for him to remember everything in "history", and naturally he does not know how many "history" has taken a different fork in the road now.
But now it seems that Apple has been affected?
Maybe...... Something to do with Facebook?
Ahn Jun-hyuk groaned, thinking carefully that he had actually been in contact with people at Apple. Before he took over as CEO last year, Zuckerberg had just reached an intention with Apple to cooperate in a promotion activity called the "Apple Student Group", and after he took over as CEO, he did not veto the cooperation, although he promoted the success of Facebook's full openness at full speed, resulting in the so-called "Apple Student Group" activity, which can no longer bring beneficial effects to Facebook.
At that time, he only wanted to get in touch with Apple step by step, lay the groundwork, and pave the way for future cooperation, for which he also had a rather speculative dinner with Apple's product marketing executive, Phil Schiller.
"At the time, I didn't seem to have spoken anything sensitive. Pinching the corners of his forehead, Ahn Junhyuk thought, after all, Apple's new products were still in the secret stage at that time, and it was impossible for him to turn the topic there.
And...... Trying to dig into the memory, something that was almost forgotten gradually became clear.
He remembers that in order to strengthen the open platform strategy in the future, he can integrate Facebook into Apple's iPhone ecosystem as soon as possible, and he also talked briefly about the upcoming development of a mobile version of Facebook...... But it's nothing sensitive!
The faint light of the computer screen shone on this square inch, and Ahn Jun-hyuk, who thought for a while, couldn't figure it out, thought about it so much that his brain hurt, so he had to press it for the time being.
He had instructed Zuckerberg to inquire privately over there in the morning, Zuckerberg didn't understand why he suddenly paid attention to Apple again, but this is a trivial matter, there are more and more Facebook users, and Apple has also changed its previous careless attitude, and gradually used its heart in the cooperation between the two sides, and it is not a big deal to listen to the postponement of the press conference.
β¦β¦ Don't want to......
Ahn Junhyuk pinched his eyebrows, looked at the screen for an afternoon, his eyes were a little uncomfortable, he turned off the computer casually, and was about to go to the bathroom to find hot water, when a string of slight footsteps came behind him, and the next moment, some cool slender fingers gently pressed his eyebrow arch and slowly massaged.
There was a familiar fragrance on the tip of his nose, and he wanted to open his eyes, but he noticed the silence of the girl next to him, and Ahn Junhyuk fell silent again.
Yuna was a little sad that she couldn't follow him to Japan...... He also didn't know how to deal with it......
The air was quiet for a while, and outside the window, the dusk gradually faded away, and the night crept up into the sky...... (To be continued......)
