After leaving Los Angeles International Airport, Chi Mingzhe took a taxi back to his film company and dialed his lawyer's phone number in the office: "Mason! I'm William, are you free? You'd better come to my company, I have something to talk to you about!" "Okay! I'll be there at two o'clock in the afternoon." I'm sorry! I still have guests, see you in the afternoon!" After the other party ended the call, Ji Mingzhe got up and walked to the window, looking at the bustling crowd below, and fell into deep thought. "William! the movie is already partial, and the rest will have to wait a little longer!" Perry said lightly as he walked into the office, "yes? How many?" he didn't turn around and still looked out the window, "There's $36 million." It's already very good, and in my years of experience, no one expected that your low-budget film would be a box office dark horse, and we were involved in the distribution ourselves, otherwise there wouldn't be so many. Perry took off his glasses and rubbed the bridge of his nose. "Sit down Perry, so we're going to do everything we can to build our own distribution channels, or these Hollywood vampires will drain all of our hard-earned earnings." Of course, what should be given still has to be given, and we still have to abide by the rules in this circle. Ji Mingzhe turned around and sat in the chair in front of his desk and looked at Perry, "I understand, I'll do my best, William, what are your plans next? Do you want to make another movie? Now it's said that you are lucky mainly because of the appreciation of a few old guys from the New York University Film School." The corners of Perry's mouth turned up, "Ha! they're jealous, jealous of me, a fledgling rookie." Don't worry! I'm still thinking about it! I'll tell you. Ji Mingzhe knows that those film companies and traditional mainstream directors are dismissive of him, but so whatever, it depends on the box office.

In the afternoon, Chi Mingzhe had a three-hour secret conversation with his lawyer, Mason, in his office, and then Mason boarded a plane to South Korea the next day. Chi Mingzhe entrusted Mason to go to South Korea to have a front station to learn more about the situation in South Korea, sat at the desk and turned on the computer, Chi Mingzhe was ready to "create" another script, and after thinking about it for a long time, he operated it on the keyboard. The second film, Ji Mingzhe, is preparing to make "The Evil Girl on the Other Side", which is a school youth version of the film based on Shakespeare's "Taming the Shrew", and the script is to the effect that Bianca is the recognized sweetheart baby of the whole school, but in fact, she has not even had a date, because Bianca's father is extremely harsh on his daughter's discipline, and under her strict father's discipline, the boys seem to be able to only shy away from her. After constant protests from his daughter, the father finally made a "concession", saying: "Bianca can go on a date, as long as her sister Kate also goes along." Hearing the news, Cameroon, who had always had a crush on Bianca, was determined to find someone who could date Kate no matter what. But Kate is a monster in everyone's eyes, as if she is cynical, and has a dissatisfaction with everyone and everything. In order to make the date go smoothly, Cameroon approached Patrick and asked him to help. But this was an unprecedented challenge for Patrick.

The original film was directed by Jill Jörger, and the screenwriter was Kirsten Smith. For this reason, Chi Mingzhe specially checked whether there was a similar script registered copyright, and the result was good, so he directly registered the copyright and decided to use the original cast of the film to act in this movie, but Chi Mingzhe initially conducted a large-scale casting activity in the actors' union to build momentum for the film. After screening more than 250 actors, Julia Stiles, Heath Ledger, Joseph Gordon-Levitt, Larisa Olenic, David Kruholtez and several other actors from the original film were finally retained. At the start of this film, some film companies and directors who saw Chi Mingzhe was very sarcastic about him: "Our rookie dark horse director is going to play a gimmick again, what is it this time? Comedy campus film? Hehe!" Of course, these are private statements.

To this end, Ji Mingzhe led the actors to accept some media interviews: "I know that some people don't like me because I'm Asian? Although I only made a low-budget film, it was a great success, which made some people very uncomfortable, but so what? As long as my film still has a good box office and the audience recognizes it, I'm happy." I don't care what they say. When asked by the media about his intention to create the film, Ji Mingzhe calmly said: "The film I created is mainly based on the inherent emotions of teenagers. Of course, most teenagers have experienced the stress of adolescence, and they feel that only a certain way of behaving will make them acceptable. I think a lot of children fall into misunderstandings and confusion because of this, which makes them lack a lot of happiness. I'm trying to get a message along, yes, that's just having your own opinions, being your own unique self. ”

When Ji Mingzhe was asked again why he chose some unknown actors to play this movie, whether there was any inside story, Ji Mingzhe stared at the reporter who asked the question and said: "The reason why I chose them was after a lot of casting, you know that we screened more than 250 actors at that time, and finally picked the most suitable one." For example, this handsome guy from Australia, Mr. Heath Ledger, who is about to play the role of Patrick in the movie, my first reaction to him was that he was really handsome, and I hope he can perform this role. After a long conversation, I realized how smart he was, and he auditioned, and after 3 minutes and 40 seconds, I was already convinced that he was the actor to play Patrick. At first, there were objections to Mr. Heath's Australian accent, but I think this accent can make the characters more vivid, more interesting, more mysterious, don't they?" and Heath Ledger modestly said: "First of all, thank you Director William for choosing me, I think the prototype of Patrick in this film is actually Pitrushua from "The Taming of the Shrew", I borrowed from Mr. Richard Burton's performance in "The Taming of the Shrew" in 1967, and imitated Mr. Jack Nicholson's style. This was approved by director William, and I always wanted to play Hamlet, but I had to be prepared before I tried it, and of all Shakespeare's characters, I chose to play Petrusio first, and Patrick was the closest to it. So I'm going to take this role seriously. The interview ended, and the film entered the intense shooting.

At the same time, lawyer Mason, who was in South Korea to call for Ji Mingzhe, had just finished talking to Ji Mingzhe on the phone, and then registered "Korea Skyline Film and Television Production Co., Ltd." according to Ji Mingzhe's instructions; Korea Skyline Entertainment Co., Ltd."; Korea Meiya Brokerage Co., Ltd."; South Korea Shunchang Real Estate Co., Ltd.";" Korea Skyline Media Co., Ltd."; Korea Power Security Service Co., Ltd. "these companies. Then he began to buy land in Seoul on a large scale, and at this time, the Korean real estate industry was already struggling, and the land and housing prices were not much better than the price of cabbage and no one cared about it. Mason acquired a large piece of land on the Han River in Apgujeong, Seoul, to prepare for the construction of the company's headquarters, and signed a contract with a construction company owned by South Korea's Samsung, and entrusted them with the design and construction. Soon the blueprints came out, and Mason called Ji Mingzhe to ask him what he had in mind, and Chi Mingzhe took time out of his busy shooting schedule to consult with Mason and finally decided to build a commercial complex that would integrate residential, shopping, entertainment and leisure. The drawings had to be redesigned and the cost was also increased by a large section, and the entire construction period was 10 months, which was requested by Chi Mingzhe, and promised to settle in US dollars, and the other party gritted his teeth and agreed. First of all, the main building is 36 stories high, with 3 basement floors, and four 28-story subordinate buildings next to it and behind the side, which are connected together to form a huge 8-story space that can be used to build a large supermarket and high-end shopping mall, a food and beverage court, a large movie theater with 12 screening halls, and a large ice rink with artificial ice surface introduced to Korea for the first time. As for what sauna, the singing room is readily available. Behind the building, a large park was built along the Olympic Avenue in the direction of the riverside, an artificial lake of more than 3,000 square meters was dug and the water of the Han River was introduced, twelve 15-storey staff dormitory buildings were scattered around, 30 two-story villas were built in the park, and a 3-storey huge building composed of a large number of glass curtain walls was built by the artificial lake, the first floor was the headquarters canteen, the second floor was the fitness hall and the third floor of the leisure and physiotherapy center. Ji Mingzhe spent 280 million US dollars for these and exchanged it for more than 485 billion won, but after thinking about it, the land price in South Korea was indifferent and he happily named the commercial center "Myeongzhe Hall". Chi's investment in Seoul has attracted a lot of local media attention and related reports, although Chi Mingzhe, who is in the United States at the moment, has asked Mason to start recruiting employees. With a happy mood, he threw himself into the filming again.

After more than two months, "The Evil Girl on the Other Side" was completed, Ji Mingzhe asked the whole crew to celebrate, and then disbanded the crew, the actors were a little excited and lost, but the whole Hollywood is like this, everyone is good to get together and disperse, maybe they can cooperate again next time. Back at the company, Chi Mingzhe had a phone call with Mason, who was far away in South Korea, and asked him about his situation in South Korea and the progress of the project. This time he chose a later song "Becauseof You" as the theme song of the film, and asked the research company to find the original singer of the song, Kelly Claesson, the winner of the first season of "American Idol", who was born on April 24, 1982 in Fort Worth, Texas, and is only 16 years old this year. But she later won many Grammy Awards in her singer career, so Chi Mingzhe was ready to start in advance to sign her and train her well, when Kelly Claeson learned of the situation, she was very excited and readily agreed, and then signed a singer contract with Chi Mingzhe's "American Meiya Agency Co., Ltd.", and at the same time Heath Ledger also signed an actor contract, Chi Mingzhe also formed a music record company "American Skyline Music Records Co., Ltd.", recruited several experienced musicians, and the company that was established began to operate.

Two weeks later, the post-production of the film was completed, and it was almost Christmas in a month and a half, Ji Mingzhe accelerated the progress of the film promotion and invested nearly 10 million US dollars, Kelly Clayson had already recorded the song and was receiving professional singer training in the company, Ji Mingzhe decided to set up a music and dance training center in the music company, so he spent a lot of money to invite a vocal teacher from Curtis Musicology to teach music knowledge and musical instruments, originally wanted to hire a teacher from the Juilliard School, but this reminded Chi Mingzhe of his mother in South Korea, so he hated Wu and Wu。 Then he invited a dance teacher from a professional dance academy to teach, which was also prepared for recruiting trainees in South Korea in the future, yes, he wanted to recruit trainees in South Korea in the future to have basic training in South Korea first, and then send them to the United States for further study if they can make their debut.

Christmas 1998 finally arrived, and Ji Mingzhe's second film began to be released.
