Chapter 125: Preparing to Return to the United States
"Squeak...... Squeak......"
The swing in the yard was rippling, and Ji Mingzhe held his hands on his chest, and with the undulating swing, he lowered his head and fell into deep thought.
There are still a few days left before 03, this year is a very critical year for Chi Mingzhe, first of all, the assets will increase to an astronomical amount, which is nine out of ten, and he also has to convince Bush Jr. to agree with his whimsical ambitions, of course, everything is man-made, he believes that as long as he works hard, maybe the harvest will be beyond imagination. The immediate priority is the matter of Jeju Island, Roh Moo-hyun will take office at the end of February 03, and Mason will always urge to follow up, anyway, in the eyes of those South Korean political tasks, the US ambassador to South Korea is his own mouthpiece.
The swing stopped, Ji Mingzhe patted his buttocks, turned around and walked into the house, it was very cold outside, just sat outside for a while, and his feet were already a little numb.
"Oba, I was just going to call you in for lunch!"
Han Jiaren squatted down to change his slippers, and then turned around and went into the kitchen.
Looking at the six or seven dishes on the table, Chi Mingzhe nodded with satisfaction and sat down.
"Bang dang!"
There was a sound of crocking dishes in the kitchen, and Ji Mingzhe ran into the kitchen quickly.
A soup bowl on the ground was completely shattered, and Han Jiaren was squatting on the ground to clean it up.
"Be careful not to cut your hand, I'll get it!"
Pulling up Han Ga-jin, Ji Myung-cheol cleaned up the ground with a broom, and at this time, Jun Ji-hyun, Kim Tae-hee, and Lee Hyo-ri came in at the door.
"Hey, the meal is ready, and you're ready to come over and help!"
Jun Ji-hyun looked at the dishes on the table, twisted a piece of meat with his hand and put it in his mouth.
"Sit down, it's all the work of the beautiful woman. ”
Ji Mingzhe brought a large bowl of chicken soup he had boiled.
"Where's Ye-jin, why didn't you come?"
"Said it was coming soon. ”
As he was talking, Son Ye-jin also opened the door and came in.
"Eat!"
Ji Mingzhe took the lead in picking up the dishes and chopsticks, and Jun Ji-hyun and the others followed to pick up the dishes and chopsticks.
"The beauty is really good, much better than me!"
Li Xiaoli looked at Han Jiaren and praised.
"yes! This mushroom sliced meat tastes super good, just like my doll mom made. ”
Kim Tae-hee also agrees with Hyo-ri's one.
Jun Ji Hyun eats silently, her skills are a bit "trendy", so she often works in the kitchen or something, among several women, Han Jiaren is recognized as the first in cooking, and even Lee Hyo-ri can occasionally show his hands, Kim Tae-hee has completely given up, Jun Ji-hyun has also worked hard, but it seems that he really has no talent in this area, so she has no idea about the kitchen place. Son Ye-jin actually wants to show her hands in front of her sisters, her skills were all practiced at home in Daegu, but she thinks that now is not the time, she has to find a chance, at least not to steal the limelight of the beauty, let's keep a low profile first.
"I'll go back to the U.S. in January, there's a lot going on, there's a movie to be made, and the family depends on you. ”
"Oba is leaving so soon, but it's the Spring Festival?"
"It's too late, I might come back at the end of February, I have to attend the inauguration of our President Lu, and then I have to rush back. ”
Ji Ming-cheol holds a bowl of chicken soup for Son Ye-jin.
"Yezhen, come and try my craft!"
"You guys come first!"
Son Ye-jin looked at everyone and shirked, she felt a little weak in her heart, afraid of being scared
"It's the first time you've tasted his soup, try it, it's better than the last time in the shop. Let him be proud!"
Lee Hyo-ri said something funny, and several people laughed.
"Hmm!"
Son Ye-jin took a sip with a soup spoon and didn't say anything, Ji Mingzhe chewed the rice in his mouth, looking at her expression and waiting for praise, but Ye-jin just buried her head in eating for a long time and didn't squeak.
"Doesn't it taste good?"
Ji Mingzhe couldn't help but ask like a child.
"It's okay!"
"Huh!"
Kim Tae-hee laughed, and the beauty also bowed her head and smiled.
Ji Mingzhe didn't ask again, and took a bite of rice in his mouth.
"By the way, I built more than 40 hotels in Jeju Island, and now it is basically completed, and each of you has one under your name, which is a birthday gift from Oba, and I haven't given you a good birthday for so long, so it's compensation!"
Several women didn't make a sound when they heard it, only Son Ye-jin felt that this qiē was very unreal, she had heard that Ji Mingzhe had built four or five-star hotels there, and now he used it as a birthday gift for them, which was unimaginable.
"Ohba, I don't care about any of this, as long as you're safe!"
Kim Tae-hee was the first to speak, and Han Ga-ri and Lee Hyo-ri also said that they didn't value these things.
"What he gave, we will take, this is his heart!"
Jun Ji-hyun made the final decision, and they didn't say anything more.
"Formalities, An Mingshun will help you handle it, and it will be good to sign it when the time comes. In terms of hotel management, you don't need to come forward, all of them are responsible for the Courtyard by Marriott Hotel Management Company, and you can count the money at home with peace of mind. ”
"Thank you!
Several women said in unison.
"Eat! Eat!"
Ji Mingzhe picked up the rice bowl again......
In the American Skyrim Records, Kim Hee-cheol and they are all under the supervision of Park Jin-young, they have practiced their lives, everything they should have learned has been completed, and now they are waiting for their debut, and Gaga is also waiting for Williams to make her Zuò's first studio album "The Fame", which is planned to be released at the end of January 03. The first title song "PokerFace" and the second title song "JustDance" were written by Chi Mingzhe and given to Williams in advance, before which they also discussed what genre Gaga was suitable for, and finally consulted the girl's opinion, but there were big differences between them, and in the end, Chi Mingzhe made the decision and decided to follow the style route of her previous life, mixing the melody of pop music and gorgeous rock music, so Chi Mingzhe came up with these two songs.
In the studio, Ga Ga is laughing with Mi Young and Xiu Yeon, the relationship between the two of them and Ga Ga is very good, they are the only people who studied together in the company at the beginning, and those who debuted have achieved great success, especially Avril Lavigne, who debuted the latest, released a single "Girlfriend" in May 02, which sold 8.6 million singles, becoming one of the highest-selling singles in 02, and landed at No. 1 on the Billboard singles chart for six weeks. Girlfriend has also topped music charts in the United States, Canada, Australia, Austria, Ireland, Italy and Sweden. The success of "Girlfriend" has also made it a mainstay of mainstream music in the early 21st century, and it is estimated that the Grammys will not be able to run away.
"Quack, you're about to make your debut, I'm so envious! But we'll rarely see each other in the future. ”
Meiying was very reluctant to hold Quack's hand.
"How could it be! no matter how busy we are, we still have time for our sisters to meet, and besides, you can beg William and let you make your debut early. ”
"I asked earlier, and said that we are still young, and we have to wait, and it will be 05 years at the earliest. ”
Su-yeon snuggled up and leaned her head on her shoulder.
Then keep bothering him until he changes his mind. ”
Gagaku instigated them, and Mi-young and so-yeon laughed.
"Gaga, can you also win a Grammy for your debut?"
"I don't know, I guess!"
In Gaga's thoughts, Kelly, Beyoncé and Avril Lavigne, who debuted before, have all won the Grammy, and she must at least win the Best Newcomer Award for her debut! Otherwise, she can embellish William's name, and everyone outside knows that the newcomer launched by Skyrim Records is very close to the Grammy, at least it is also a newcomer award, so Gaga's heart is not worried at all.
"Quack, go in and prepare, do you want to have a cup of red ginseng tea first, this is recommended by William, saying that it is good for the throat. ”
Williams pushed the door open from the outside and came in.
"I drink this stuff every day, and I don't drink it today!"
Gaga has always been very individual, but now she looks like a young girl, which also makes Williams worry about her style positioning, but Ji Mingzhe insists on that, and he can't help it.
"Whatever you want!"
Huang Meiying and Zheng Xiuyan said goodbye and left together......
The SBS Drama Awards are hosted by SBS Television in Korea to recognize the outstanding acting skills of actors in dramas broadcast on SBS Television within one year. This year's acting awards will be very lively, because the TV series launched by SBS in 02 completely suppressed the other two TV stations and dominated the field in 02.
On December 31, the last day of 02, in the company's studio hall, the SBS Acting Awards were officially held.
As always, the red carpet show made the stars a little more beautiful, Ji Mingzhe specially invited Kim Hye-so, who had not seen each other for a long time, and Yoo Jae-seok served as the host together, before this, Kim Hye-so and Ji Ming-cheol stayed in the office for more than 1 hour, which made Han Jiaren confused, suspicious, and doubted whether they had a leg. So I made a small report with Jun Ji-hyun and them in the venue.
"That's for sure, don't you know what kind of virtue this guy has?"
Jun Ji-hyun's words made Kim Tae-hee agree very much, they are very clear about the character of their own men, even the trainee girls in the company, they all suspect that Ji Myung-cheol has a goal, at least Kim Tae-hee knows that Hwang Mi-young and Jung so-yeon are not clear with him, but she didn't mention it.
When Ji Mingzhe entered the venue, first the bosses of various actor and artist companies greeted him one by one, and then all the actors gathered around him, vying to talk to him, in order to leave a good impression on him, and finally got rid of the group of wild bees and butterflies, Ji Mingzhe came to Jun Ji-hyun and them, but they didn't sit for a while, and they were pulled over by Cha Tae-hyun, Hwang Jung-min and Park Sung-woong to sit together.
These people were originally movie actors, but in Ji Mingzhe's company, this boundary has been very blurred, and they don't care, they shoot when they have a scene, and they should practice their acting skills, which has improved their influence and popularity, and also made SBS's TV drama actors' acting skills highly praised, and Ji Mingzhe does not treat them badly, all scripts are closely picked by them, whether it is a movie or a TV series, if you want to play the protagonist and play the protagonist, even if you want to play a prop, they are at will, and the remuneration is also very high, at least Hyun Bin and Lee Joon-gi now have the money to buy a house in the prosperous area of Seoul, of course, they are all developed by the company itself, not to mention the price concessions, and they are half sold and half given, It can only be said that they have met a good boss, and even if the contract expires, it is estimated that they will not leave the company, except for Ji Mingzhe, no company in the whole of South Korea can enter their eyes.
When Ha Ji Won and Han Chaeyoung came, they were left by Jun Ji Hyun and they sat together, looking at these women of Ji Mingzhe, Ha Ji Won was very complicated, the last time Ji Mingzhe visited the class, the two did not reach the final result, Ha Ji Won just told him that he had to think about it seriously, and he didn't give him a letter until today, and Ji Mingzhe was not in a hurry to urge her, and she volunteered.
At the beginning of the ceremony, Kim Hye-so and Yoo Jae-seok walked on the stage, and the applause was thunderous, and Kim Hye-so's eyes glanced around the front of the stage, and when he saw Ji Mingzhe, he glanced at him with spring on his face. The people in the audience won't pay attention, but Jun Ji-hyun and their table can see clearly, and Kim Hye-so is radiant and colorful, which is all moisturized by their men.
"Humph!"
A few cold snorts, from Lee Hyo-ri, Kim Tae-hee and Han Ga-in, Jun Ji-hyun didn't make any movement with a smile on the corner of his mouth, Son Ye-jin was also silent, Ha Ji-won and Han Chae-young could hear it clearly, and they didn't know why they looked at each other.
The first award was the popularity award, which was awarded by Cho In-sung, Kim Jae-won, So Young-jeong, Kim Min-hee, Han Chae-young, Ha Ji-won, Son Ye-jin, and Kim Tae-hee. This was followed by a special award to Lee Hyung-min, the director of "I'm Sorry, I Love You", which is SBS's '02 New Year's drama, which was widely praised by Korean audiences, starring Cha Tae-hyun and Lim so-jing. This is also the credit of Chi Mingzhe, the original actor Su Zhikui did not participate in this play, who made him not an actor of Chi Mingzhe's company.
The top ten star awards were won by Cho In-sung, Kim Jae-won, Park Sung-woong, Hwang Jung-min, Cha Tae-hyun, Jeon Do-yeon, Jang Nara, Jun Ji-hyun, Son Ye-jin, Ha Ji-won, and the best actor in acting was won by Cha Tae-hyun for "I'm Sorry, I Love You", Hwang Jung-min "The Age of Innocence", Park Sung-woong "That Woman", Jung Ji-hoon "Full House of Romance", and Ahn Jae-mo "Savage Age". The actresses who are awarded for acting are Jun Ji-hyun's "Full House of Romance", Kim Hyun-joo (not Han Ga-in) "Glass Slipper", Kim Ji-woo "Love", Lim so-jung "I'm Sorry, I Love You", and Kim Ji-so's "Drifting Love".
During the ceremony, awards such as merit awards, radio host awards, and best couple awards were also awarded, and the TV host awards were won by Shin Dongyu, Liu Zaishi, Jiang Hudong, Kim Jidong obtained, Ji Mingzhe has decided to open an acting awards next year, specifically for many variety shows that will be broadcast next year on the TV station, and the X-man variety show that is now being broadcast is the hottest variety show in South Korea at the moment, which has brought huge advertising revenue to SBS, which also makes the other two TV stations red-eyed, and even considering whether to buy the variety shows sold by Ji Mingzhe's program production center to compete with X-man.
Their only concern is that they are afraid that the program they buy at a high price is not as good as the variety show broadcast by SBS itself, and in this regard, the person in charge of the program production center, Li Jingrong almost swore to turn his head, he told these TV stations that want to buy programs, and their own program system is completely independent, and will never make a fuss about the program system, so that they can buy it with confidence, but in addition to the fact that it costs a lot of money to buy the program, the program system center will also share the advertising revenue after the program is broadcast, so that other TV stations can't bear it, and the two sides are further negotiating。
At the end of the ceremony, the best acting award was given to Son Ye-jin's "Dawang", Jeon Do-yeon's "Shooting the Star", Jun Ji-hyun's "Full House of Romance", and the big award was Cha Tae-hyun's "I'm Sorry, I Love You".
Before the end, Ji Mingzhe delivered a speech, giving a considerable affirmation of the work of the TV station this year, and also hoped to make persistent efforts in the coming year to bring better programs to Korean TV audiences.
Back at home, several women went back to their own residences, no one paid attention to him, and asked him to reflect on his mistakes, Ji Myung-cheol was speechless, he really rejected Kim Hye-so, but he only succumbed under the offensive of her tears, and later Jun Ji-hyun took him in and made him call himself his eldest wife open-minded.
In a blink of an eye, on January 5, 03, Ji Mingzhe was about to return to the United States, but before that time, he was still planning to secretly go to see someone, a woman who almost made him a father.
