Chapter 7 is about to begin
Christmas in '99 finally came, and Ji Mingzhe met with lawyer Mason who came back from South Korea in the company.
"Needless to say, this check will put you in a good mood. ”
"Oh! Great! I'm full of energy right now. Mason accepted a check for $3 million and smiled.
"I know, this is not enough to express my gratitude to you, leave your old law firm! I will pay for you to set up your own business to serve me, of course, the annual salary will satisfy you, are you willing?" Ji Mingzhe was satisfied with Mason's work in South Korea during this time.
"I'd love to, William, thank you! I've talked to Perry, I know what you want, you want Asian-American directors to have a place in Hollywood, and I'm with you, even if it's difficult. Mason expressed his heartfelt heart to Chi Mingzhe.
"Your headquarters building in South Korea has been built, and it has officially carried out the finishing stage, and you asked to speed up the progress while building and decorating, which Samsung is very dissatisfied with, but the market situation in South Korea can only be accepted by them, and the project will be completed in 1 month at most. Unbeknownst to you, your headquarters complex has become a landmark in the Apgujeong area of Gangnam. It's spectacular. ”
"Looks like I'm going to have to go back to Korea after the Grammys. Mason, you're going to have to get your law firm up after Christmas. Come back with me then. Chi Mingzhe himself was notified that he was writing and writing a songwriting for an album, as well as the production of two hit songs, and the Grammys added two awards of "Best Instrumental Composition" and "Best Instrumental Arrangement" to nominate him, and the company's producer, theNeptunes, helped Kelly produce the entire "Go Away and Fly High" The album was nominated for the "ProducerOfTheYear, Non-Classical" award.
Zheng Xiuyan, who was supposed to return to South Korea with her family at the end of 99, was celebrating Christmas at home with her parents and Xiao Xiujing because Ji Mingzhe changed her original destiny trajectory. The doorbell rings. Xiao Xiujing opened the door.
"Merry Christmas! Ji Mingzhe pinched Xiujing's little face.
"Great! It's my favorite Barbie! Thank you, brother!" Xiao Xiujing was elated. Xiujing, who is only 6 years old now, is very lively and obedient, and Ji Mingzhe thinks that after Xiujing and Xiuyan returned to South Korea in their previous life, they came into contact with the strict hierarchy and education system of Korean society and became cautious and cold. In Ji Mingzhe's opinion, it is absolutely not allowed.
"Uncle Zheng, Aunt Zheng, I'm sorry for your trouble!" Chi Mingzhe saluted respectfully.
"What's the trouble! Look at you still bring so many gifts, it's too outward! Sit down! We Xiuyan still need you to take care of it!, this girl! I want to be a big star and stinky in the mirror all day long, saying that she is not happy, hard work for you. Zheng's mother said with a smile.
"Mom, I don't have it!" "Su-yeon blushed and ran to the side to open the gift.
"It's nothing! You're welcome! Isn't this Christmas? I don't know what to give, please don't mind!" Ji Mingzhe responded with a smile.
"Hey, this time, your music company is really big! It's amazing that so many people have been nominated for Grammys! It's a great director and a famous musician, and the people in the community are talking about it! Say you! It's a glory for us Koreans. It is said that the whole country is praising you!" Zheng's mother handed over a cup of coffee.
"I'm a big director, I'm just a little famous in Hollywood, and when the Grammys are over, I'm going to go back to South Korea, I haven't been back for a long time! And I've formed a few companies there to check it out. ”
"Mingzhe, you are amazing! You have made such a big career at such a young age, your father must be very happy to know it!"
"Nothing! Auntie, don't mind. Chi Mingzhe's eyes were a little gloomy.
Leaving Suyeon's house, Ji Mingzhe carries his newly bought Ferrari back home. Now he is not short of money, and bought a villa covering an area of more than 3,000 square meters in Marbury Beach, Los Angeles, with a main building of 1,200 square meters, an indoor and outdoor swimming pool, tennis courts, and squash courts. Marbury Beach hasn't become a gathering place for celebrities and rich people, so the villa cost him only $12 million. He plans to take advantage of the current cheap land in Marbury to buy a large piece of land to build a villa resort hotel and plan for the future. After returning to South Korea, he also wants to build another large manor villa in Jiangnan, the land Mason has already been prepared, covering an area of 5,000 pings {one ping is about 3.3 square meters} or leaning on the Han River, which is a real estate company that has closed down at a low price, after the transaction is completed, the real estate developer took the money and ran away. Thinking of running away and thinking of himself in his previous life, Ji Mingzhe decided to go back to South Korea this time to be more high-profile, so that those local entertainment industry turtles should be more vigilant, and he will be rejected by those local entertainment circles who are not eye-opening, of course, the exclusion is certain, after all, the Korean entertainment industry market is just a small fish pond. Taking advantage of the economic crisis, Mason bought a large amount of land in South Korea according to the instructions of Ji Mingzhe, not only in Seoul, but also in Busan, Gwangju, Daegu and other major cities in South Korea. Because of the Christmas period, the maids are on vacation, and Ji Mingzhe is thinking about the deployment in the luxurious study when his mobile phone rings.
"William, I miss you!" was Kelly. Since that night's passionate night, the two have been like glue and often "communicate". Of course, behind the scenes, both parties wisely did not talk about the future, and Ji Mingzhe does not plan to think about marriage until he is at least 30 years old.
"I miss you too!baby!I'll love you when I get back!"
"I'm taking a shower, and suddenly I miss you. Kelly said coquettishly, and Ji Mingzhe thought of Kelly's plump body, and his heart was hot. But far water can't quench the thirst of the near.
"I hate you, you've me off, you've got to make it up to me. Chi Mingzhe's breath was heavy. chatted with Kelly on the phone for a while, and was teased by Kelly and was about to fly to find her.
"I'm sorry dear, mom is knocking on the bathroom door, I'm going to hang up, be nice to your hands, you know......! Kelly hung up the phone teasingly, re-inlung back to the bathtub and exhaled lightly, stroked her long brown hair, soaked in the bath on her plump body and made a soft sound, and her mouth let out an incomprehensible sigh, she also understood that Chi Mingzhe was just obsessed with her body, and there was no so-called love, and she was also very clear about the situation that he was eyeing Beyoncé, but she was also content, thinking of her two Grammy nominations, she was still very grateful to Chi Mingzhe in her heart, "Time will be clear, who knows what will happen in the future." Kelly could only comfort herself.
Chi Mingzhe threw down the phone, came to the indoor heated pool, stripped naked and plunged into the pool. "What's wrong with me, Kelly made herself anxious with a phone call, and there will be more beauties waiting in the future, so what should I do?" Ji Mingzhe calmed down, "I can't mess up because of women, I'm the one who wants to do big things." ”
Huang Yiyu has already started filming "The Grim Reaper", Chi Mingzhe and him discussed the script in detail, added some details to make the script more perfect, and put forward some of his own opinions on the shooting, and James Wen also studied carefully on the side. After all, Huang Yiyu was only a screenwriter before, and it was inevitable that there would be some omissions when directing for the first time. After a day in the crew, Chi Mingzhe came to Boeing, and he was received by Rodney, deputy general manager of Boeing Business Jets. Ji Mingzhe is ready to buy a business jet, he has inspected Bombardier and other companies business jet companies, and finally chose Boeing, after all, the planes of those companies are a little small in his opinion, long-distance flights or large planes are more comfortable, and the current Boeing business jet is modified with a 737 aircraft, the comfort is much better, because the space is relatively large, you can add a bedroom, so it is suitable for him to travel between South Korea and the United States in the future. Ji Mingzhe chose the 737-800 aircraft modification, requiring more fuel tanks to increase the range of direct flights from the United States to South Korea without refueling on the way, only 24 seats were retained, all were replaced with first-class seats, and a small bar and a bedroom with a bathroom were rebuilt. In the end, the business jet with a maximum modification range of 15,000 kilometers cost Chi Mingzhe 60 million US dollars. Chi Mingzhe is actually still not very satisfied, and wants to wait for more money to go directly to the 747 This kind of giant, of course, Airbus's A-380 is the best, but it has to wait until 10 years later.
On February 15, 2000, the long-awaited 42nd Grammy Awards ceremony finally began.
Ji Mingzhe looked smart and handsome in an Armani suit, and took the well-dressed Park Jin-young and Kelly, Beyoncé and theNeptunes to the newly completed Staples Center on Figueroa Street in Los Angeles in a rented extended Lincoln courtesy car.
The Grammys are the annual large-scale music awards in the United States, organized jointly by the National and Scientific Societies. "GRAMMY" is a mutated homonym of the English Gramophone. It has a long history and is shaped like an old-fashioned gramophone. The reason why the Grammys can be talked about by musicians around the world is that in addition to the fact that the United States has always been the center of global pop music and represents the highest level of pop music, this award is unparalleled by other music awards in terms of authority, fairness and influence. It's really hard to win the Grammys, and there are a very strict rules and procedures for its selection. Entries must be selected from the current year. Once a work is recommended, it is first screened and qualified by more than 150 experts from various fields in the music industry, and then classified. Except for the works that need to be voted on by the Special Nomination Committee, all the works that pass the preliminary selection must be sent to the judges for the first round of voting. However, each judge can only vote for 9 items that he or she specializes in, and of course they also have to vote for 4 awards for that year's Record of the Year, Album of the Year, Song of the Year and Newcomer of the Year. After the preliminary evaluation, the list will be submitted to the judges for the second round of voting, and each judge can only choose 8 awards for voting in addition to the 4 basic awards. These strict measures effectively ensure the fairness of the selection. And this award is clearly not the product of a few hype or record labels' boasting, but has been selected by experts and a rigorous process. So Skyrim Music Records is really shining in the world music scene this time.
When the doors opened and they got out of the car, they were greeted by a flicker. The media reporters pressed the flashing lights desperately, as if they would not give up until their eyes were wasted. "Excuse me......" "Hello......" The reporters desperately squeezed around them to ask questions, while Ji Myung-cheol escorted Kylie and Beyoncé and Park Jin-young forward, and poor theNeptunes was surrounded behind them. The organizer's security guards helped them clear the way, and when they finally entered the venue, most of the musicians from all over the world who were already in the venue seemed to be the focus of attention. theNeptunes entered the venue in disheveled clothes, and under his introduction, Chi Mingzhe, a group of newcomers to the American music scene, had a cordial and friendly conversation with most of the musicians present (this is very familiar}, and when they were seated, the 42nd Grammy Awards officially began.
