Chapter 45: Happy Cooperation

Yes, if you think about it carefully, Jiang Hudong's words are not wrong, what can he do if he insists?

Even if his little trick really succeeded, it is difficult to predict the outcome of the introduction of KBS, because although the letter of intent at that time involved KBS, in order to stabilize J.H's investment desire, the division of rights and interests in the letter of intent is a mode of separation of production and broadcasting, that is, KBS does not have the legal requirements to intervene in the terms of the contract, and even if KBS is introduced, its interference in the contract is limited to the broadcast port.

The final result, most of the time, is still dragging, the difference is that J.H dragged him, KBS dragged J.H, in the end, KBS and J.H basically lost nothing, at most they killed time in a war of words, but he lost the most.

Every time he thought about it deeply, Luo Yingshi was full of bitterness and annoyance: "I knew that I should have asked J.H to sign a formal contract in the first place......"

Before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by Jiang Hudong on the other side: "Is the formal contract useful?" A smile appeared on the chubby face, indescribably indifferent or indifferent, or self-deprecating: "We are not the first day in the circle, Yingshi, there are hundreds of film projects registered every year across the country, is that not a formal contract? But how many can really start filming? I don't say that you also know the trickiness in it, many companies get a book, and after the project is established, they will cheat the support funds and loans, and the screenwriter who signed the contract, When the director goes to make trouble, others will stick to the script and say that you still have to revise it, and then talk about it after the revision, and after two or three times, it will drag you into poverty, and you will have no strength to make trouble if you want to, so naturally you can't do it. ”

"It's still a regular company, and in recent years loan sharks have also come in. Just find a cat or a dog and say that they want to make a movie, and when they finish washing the money and pat their butts, they will run away, leaving behind a pile of bad debts that will be ruined, and there are still few people who are in prison and eat porridge? Even if it is KBS, there are a lot of people who have done this kind of thing, right? The Blue House said that it was necessary to make a film with the main theme, and the finance had to let go of its pockets, and KBS and MBC were not like mad dogs who had seen meat and bones, and they desperately went on projects to cheat the budget? In the end, there were a few films that could be made on the stars, and the TV stations could eat and drink spicy food after doing a good job. Who's being trapped?"

Pile by pile. One by one, with Jiang Hudong's rhetorical question, the darkness under the bright appearance of the circle turned out nakedly, if anyone outside the circle listened. I'm afraid I'm going to die of heart.

This year, the information exploded. A few people in the circle have made some achievements and are immediately put in the spotlight. Touted by the media in various names, the directors and screenwriters who became famous in one drama are also as beautiful as the stars of the past, like a place where the spotlight shines. Behind the scenes, it is also a paradise, but I don't know that where there is capital, there are rivers and lakes, and the rivers and lakes have always been turbulent undercurrents hidden under the calm on the surface.

There was a faint bloodshed under that bland tone, even Luo Yingshi, an insider who had heard it many times, slowly turned pale.

"In contrast, J.H. has a conscience. Taking a sip of wine, looking at Luo Yingshi's gradually trance-like expression, Jiang Hudong sighed: "At least they are willing to invest, I heard that J.H Entertainment Company's film and television company has invested in several small-budget horror films this year, and some of the producers I know say that J.H's steps are steady, and these films J.H probably doesn't want to recoup their investment at all, but they have to pay back, but why do they do it? It is to open the door to distribution and be familiar with the market." ”

Luo Yingshi listened silently, he also heard about it, although there was no report in the media, but J.H is still in the limelight in the entertainment industry now, especially many people are very interested in this new company, the reason is that J.H Entertainment acquired Gmarket, the largest online shopping site in South Korea, at the beginning of the year, revealing strong financial resources.

In the field of film and television production, South Korea has maintained a three-country situation for a long time, Lotte, CJ, Showbox, and this year, J.H Entertainment took advantage of the power of huge acquisitions and put on a formal posture to get involved in film and television distribution, no one dared to ignore it, and many people even thought that it would become the fourth giant.

Of course, most people are still waiting, after all, the start was thunderous, and the result was not nothing, there is a clear example in recent years, the original SK Group, ambitious, even JYP was acquired, and in the end it was not disgraced by An Junhyuk's antitrust complaint, and the wolf was kicked back, not only the digital music brand Melon was forced to give up market share, but its largest consumer electronics brand was also greatly injured because of this, and now it is still cleaning up the mess.

Jiang Hudong didn't care about Luo Yingshi's sudden deviation of thoughts, and continued: "J.H.'s resources have just begun, and one is responsible for film production, and is opening up channels. The second part can't be so idle, it must also have a task, the reason why there is no action now, I'm afraid it's because we haven't found a good target, Yingshi, have you ever thought that this is actually our best opportunity. ”

"Our program, KBS is unwilling to take risks, looking for a company other than J.H, it is more likely to be swallowed to the bones, since J.H has the need to make zuò, why not agree? At least we transfer the copyright to J.H, J.H is willing to make zuò, otherwise, no matter how good the copyright is, it will not be able to make a finished product, and it will not be of any benefit to you and me!"

Luo Yingshi stopped talking, his face was red and white, Jiang Hudong saw this, knew that he was weighing and considering, and didn't say anything more, just patted his hand: "Think about it carefully, I'll wash my face!" and went to sober up.

Watching his back leave, Luo Yingshi was silent.

He understood that Jiang Hudong had a private walk with Ahn Junhyuk yesterday, and when he came back, he began to persuade himself, and he must have been persuaded by Ahn Junhyuk. This should have made him feel betrayal, but he couldn't get angry at all.

Because Jiang Hudong did not show affection for him, nor did he make small moves in secret, he just simply stated the interests and disadvantages, completely from the perspective of the interests of the two.

In fact, he understands all the stakes, yesterday when J.H played "Lai Pi", he understood that his hope of keeping the copyright could not succeed, and he was mixed in the TV station system for a few years, he didn't know anything else, but he had a deep understanding of one thing - in the entertainment industry, creativity is the most important. And least of all.

The threshold of this circle is too high, it is not like the Internet products have the advantage of cheap process and zero cost of communication, here, every step to realize the idea requires a lot of money, in the face of the pressure of money, even the idea itself is cheap like garbage, not to mention the person who proposes the idea.

Many writers and screenwriters have worked hard to write scripts on the small screen and big screen, and they don't even know each other, what can they do?

The values here are contradictory. But it's reality!

Close your eyes. After thinking for a long time, the air flowed quietly around me, and I don't know how much time passed, when I opened my eyes again. Luo Yingshi is full of loneliness.

"Alas......"

Unwillingness, loss, anger. Before a qiē hindered his judgment. With this sigh, it finally came to fruition......

……

June 1, 2007, the first day of the last month of the first half of the year. J.H Entertainment held a small signing ceremony in a large conference room in Building 2.

J.H only attended the ceremony with the company's middle and senior management and some employees, and on the other side, Luo Yingshi and Jiang Hudong, no reporters, no cameras, no long guns and short guns, the scene was a little shabby, but the signatories obviously didn't care.

In the cold and spacious conference room, under the rostrum, those high-level executives from J.H sat quietly, and there were some trainees who came to prepare for the fun, but the solemnity of the signing scene was beyond their imagination.

In silence, on the rostrum in the center of the eyes of the people below, Ahn Junhyuk took the pen and solemnly signed the text spread out in front of him.

Luo Yingshi stood beside him, looking at the solemn demeanor of this legendary young man, he couldn't help but feel a little nervous, the air was quiet, and he could only hear the light rustle of his pen, as well as his own breathing, and even his heartbeat.

I don't know why, when things come to an end, they suffer from gains and losses.

Or is it that this signing ceremony exposes that J.H may value his show more than he imagined?

All kinds of thoughts came out of nowhere, clashed fiercely, and his expression was a little trance-like, and then, he felt that someone kicked his foot next to him, and when he came back to his senses, Luo Yingshi found that it was Jiang Hudong who kicked him, and the other party glanced at him faintly anxiously. Following the direction of his eyes, he saw that Ahn Jun-hyuk had already signed and was waiting for him to take the pen.

"Mr. Luo is not feeling well?" Seeing him looking, Ahn Junhyuk asked softly as he handed him the pen.

"Uh...... No...... There is no ......"

An Junhyuk nodded and said no more, Luo Yingshi took the pen in his hand, I don't know if it was an illusion, it was unexpectedly heavy.

Sign it and you'll regret it......

Sign it and your fate will change......

Countless thoughts rushed up, and he took a slight breath, feeling the complex feeling of multiple emotions intertwined, and smiled bitterly.

Now, is there any room for him to regret it?

Thinking like this, he lowered his head, suppressed the confusion in his mind, and signed his name vigorously. The ink dragged the strokes, and the moment the last bit fell, vaguely, he seemed to hear something broken, but unexpectedly, his heart suddenly relaxed.

Coax――――

The moment the pen tip left the paper, the thunderous applause suddenly broke the silence, and a huge wave of sound bombarded and crashed into the ears.

The sudden ease mixed with this roar, so that Luo Yingshi suddenly felt a little unaware of the north and south, raised his head, and in the hazy vision, he couldn't see the expressions of the people below, he only felt Jiang Hudong next to him hugging his shoulders hard, and in front of him, An Junhe also held his hand and shook it:

Mr. Luo...... No, Stone, happy cooperation!"

Happy to work with......

Very suddenly, he suddenly wanted to cry, not aggrieved or excited, but an inexplicable impulse.

But that impulse was soon drowned out in a round of applause, and in the mysteries that followed.

The next day, the entertainment pages of several major newspapers and magazines all published a headline:

"Ahn Jun Hyuk's comeback may be the main variety show!" (to be continued......)
