Episode 30: No one has a drunk in the middle of the night
Zheng Xiyi, who rushed to Los Angeles International Airport, didn't know that he was almost sent on a blind date with Li Sanlang by Li Xiuman's wife, and when he came out of New York's JFK Airport, it was already dark, because Lin Xiyin had gone to South Korea, so no one came to pick him up, and he didn't have any luggage anyway. Zheng Xiyi, who returned to New York again, felt a lot more comfortable, even if a pedestrian recognized him, he would greet him with a smile at most, and would not surround him like Korean fans, Zheng Xiyi sat on the subway and leisurely looked at all kinds of New Yorkers in the carriage, if it weren't for the fact that the yellow race in the American film and television industry could not play the leading role, he really didn't want to mix in South Korea or Huaxia.
When I got home, it was already half past nine, and before I walked to the driveway, I saw my mother Lin Tingqiu sitting on the bench in the corridor in front of the door, and tears almost fell from my heart, and my mother was waiting for him to come back outside the door. He ran in small steps, rushed into the arms of his happy mother, and hugged her tightly.
"Ahem, when do you still have to hold my wife, let it go quickly, otherwise I will call the police!" Father Zheng Chengxuan's voice came from the door, Zheng Xiyi turned his head to look at his father standing in the door, let go of his mother, and then strode over and hugged Zheng Chengxuan again.
"Ahh
"Okay, okay, let's go in and eat, I made your favorite braised pork. Lin Tingqiu patted his son's shoulder, and before he knew it, his son had grown tall and big, and now he could only pat his shoulder.
Zheng Xiyi grabbed his mother's shoulder with one hand, and walked in with his father's hand with the other, and kept saying: "Ah, braised pork, it's great, thank you Mom." This time in Yanjing, I also went to the Hunan restaurant to order food, but after eating several restaurants, I felt that it was not as delicious as my mother's cooking. ”
Jung Seung-hyun wanted to break free of his arm, but stopped when he heard what his son said. Although this son has not had to worry about it since he was a child, it is precisely because of this that he always feels that the relationship between father and son is not as close as that between father and daughter. Watching his son become one of the best Asian actors in Hollywood under the pressure of countless unspoken rules, he really doesn't know whether to be proud or guilty, maybe both.
After staying in New York for a week, Zheng Xiyi received a call from Lee so-man, and S.M had agreed to the signing plan he had discussed with Lee so-man, and only when he returned to South Korea to sign the contract, S.MCC would be officially established. Although Zheng Xiyi wanted to stay with his parents very much, Zheng Chengxuan bought him a ticket for the next day and put him on the plane with Lin Tingqiu.
On July 10, 2002, Zheng Xiyi and Lin Xiyin walked into S.M's Xiaohuanglou again, this time Xu Daxin did not come out to greet him, but changed to a man in his 30s in a straight suit.
"Anihasse, I'm Kim Young-min from S.M's Overseas Business Group, so please take care of me in the future. ”
After the two sides reported their names, Zheng Xiyi looked Jin Yingmin up and down twice, it turned out that this was the legendary Jin Yingmin, he looked okay, white and clean, and Zheng Xiyi always thought that Jin Yingmin was a middle-aged man like Li Xiuman.
Walking into Xu Daxin's office, Xu Daxin walked out from behind the desk and stretched out his hand, Zheng Xiyi half-bowed and shook his hand. Xu Da was very unhappy in his confidence, so he didn't go to the gate of the company to greet Zheng Xiyi today, and Zheng Xiyi also understood in his heart, so the etiquette was ten out of ten. He skipped the current president of S.M and went to the United States to talk to Lee so-man about the contract, and finally negotiated a subsidiary, and then happily settled on it, as the current president, if he can be happy, there will be a ghost.
When both parties were seated and the assistant closed the door and went out after serving coffee, Xu Daxin said to Zheng Xiyi with a smile, "It's hard work Zheng Xiyi, it's been very hard these past few weeks, flying around the world, in fact, there is no need to be so troublesome, if you tell me the conditions at that time, I can also help you tell Director Li." ”
Zheng Xiyi knew that Xu Daxin was hinting at his dissatisfaction with himself, so he could only pretend that he didn't understand, and laughed, "Thank you President Xu NIM for your concern, it's a bit hard, but I'm still young, and I should suffer a little, and it's worth it to work hard to get things done." ”
Xu Daxin knew that the matter had passed the board of directors, and he could say such a word to knock Zheng Xiyi, so he didn't say anything more, and reached out and pushed the contract that had been placed on the coffee table in front of Lin Xiyin, "The contract is here, Miss Lin just read it here and then Zheng Xiyi signed it, or should you find a familiar lawyer to see it and then sign it?"
Lin Xiyin picked up the contract and shook his head with a smile, "Don't be so troublesome, I was basically responsible for the contract in Xiyi in the United States, and if there is no problem, Xiyi can sign it immediately." ”
Lin Xiyin opened the contract and read it carefully, and after carefully checking the contract in duplicate page by page, she raised her head and nodded at Zheng Xiyi. Zheng Xiyi took the contract and gently put it back on the coffee table, Xu Daxin and Jin Yingmin, who were sitting opposite, couldn't help but wonder, could it be that Zheng Xiyi would regret it when it came to the end?
"President Xu NIM, since my sister has already read it, there is no problem with the contract. But first, I would like to ask, the president of S.MCC, who are you sure who will be in charge?"
Xu Daxin then understood, and pointed at Jin Yingmin, "Team leader Jin Yingmin should have introduced himself just now, he is now the leader of the company's overseas business group, and after the unanimous approval of the directors, he will also serve as the representative of the president of S.MCC." ”
Zheng Xiyi glanced at Jin Yingmin again, and Jin Yingmin smiled slightly, "Because Zheng Xiyi XI has not signed yet, S.MCC has not been established yet, so I have not introduced myself about the position of S.MCC." ”
Zheng Xiyi thought for a while and nodded, "Kim Yingmin XI is thoughtful, and he deserves to be the unanimous candidate approved by the directors." After speaking, he opened the contract, picked up the brush, and signed his name.
The four of them all stood up, Zheng Xiyi held a contract in both hands and handed it to Xu Daxin, but Xu Daxin waved his hand and pointed at Jin Yingmin with his hand. Zheng Xiyi slapped his forehead, since he has signed, he now belongs to the artist of S.MCC, although he is still the largest shareholder, but after all, Kim Young-min is the president, isn't it not a shame to hand over the contract to Xu Daxin. Zheng Xiyi hurriedly put on a look of shame, and handed the contract to Jin Yingmin with both hands, Jin Yingmin took the contract with a smile on his face, opened it and looked at the signature, then put the contract down, stretched out his hand and shook hands with Zheng Xiyi, "Director Zheng Xiyi, please take care of me in the future." ”
"President Kim NIM, please take care of me in the future. Zheng Xiyi and Kim Young-min looked at each other and smiled, and they both secretly raised each other's cunning level by another level in their hearts.
Walking out of the S.M company, it was raining heavily outside, Lin Xiyin and Zheng Xiyi sat in the car but were silent, Zheng Xiyi was recalling the memories of Kim Yingmin in his previous life, but except for being too famous as a girl and knowing that it was related to Kim Yingmin, he had no other related memories. Zheng Xiyi looked at the rainy street with few people outside the car window, if he is not mistaken, Kim Young-min will become the president of S.M in a few years, but I don't know if Kim Young-min will become the president of S.M again like in his previous life because he has an extra S.MCC.
Thinking about how much history will change because of himself, and whether there will be a large change, suddenly a small back appeared in Zheng Xiyi's field of vision, a white dress, a pink frog Juncao backpack, and a pink umbrella with white flowers, standing alone on the sidewalk in the rain......
On July 15, the Zheng Xiyi uprising, which had just subsided last month, broke out again. S.M, South Korea's largest brokerage and entertainment company, announced the establishment of a new subsidiary, S.M. CultureContents, referred to as S.MCC, on the same day, with total assets of 10 billion won. Among them, Jung Hee-yi invested 4.9 billion won and owned 49% of the subsidiary, S.M invested 3 billion won and owned 30% of the subsidiary, Lee so-man invested 2.1 billion won and owned 21% of the subsidiary, and Kim Young-min, head of S.M's overseas business group, became the first president of S.MCC. At the same time, S.MCC signed a film and television brokerage contract with Zheng Xiyi in Asia (excluding the Chinese region), becoming the first artist under S.MCC, with a 37-70 share of film and television revenue and a signing fee of 300 million won.
The South Korean media and the public once again focused on Zheng Xiyi, but the Korean entertainment industry remained strangely calm, and the major brokerage companies responded silently. Singer agencies like YG, JYP, DSP have nothing to do with themselves, so they naturally won't make a noise for S.M, but an actor agency like Sdius doesn't know what expression to use to deal with it, and the ban is a bit too much, and it's not good to be angry if it's not blocked, so let's just take it for the first time and see what S.MCC does next.
While Jung Hee-yi continues to take classes at Kyung Hee University, he silently follows the trends of major entertainment agencies in South Korea. Half a month has passed, and the major brokerage companies seem to have no movement at all as if they don't know about the establishment of S.MCC, and Zheng Xiyi is relieved. Although he planned very well and showed full confidence when explaining to Lee so-man, he was actually a little bottomless, who knows if the strange self-esteem of Koreans will suddenly make the major actor agencies glassy. But now it's just an observation period at most, and he hasn't received any audition invitations or scripts so far, maybe only when he starts to take on the play, will he really see if something is wrong.
At 11 p.m., Zheng Xiyi sat at his desk and made a schedule for the remaining months of 2002, and he planned to ask Lin Xiyin to issue a statement on the company's official website tomorrow to start accepting scripts, but only for movies or TV series that began filming in 2003. The mobile phone that was put aside vibrated and Zheng Xiyi picked up the phone, "Li Xiaoli, so late?"
"Abusai yo, Xiaoli XI, what's the matter?"
"Hiccup...... You...... Who are you...... Speak...... Who is it...... Ah......h
Zheng Xiyi felt speechless, called me and asked me who I was? Hmm? No, listening to this tone, is it drunk?
"Xiaoli XI, I'm Zheng Xiyi, where are you?
"Hiccup...... Zheng ...... Hey, I'm not...... Hit the bead string...... Oh yes...... No...... No matter what...... Hope...... Xiyi, come and pick me up, I'm ...... It's a little hard to see the road. ”
"Hyo-ri, where are you now?" Zheng Xiyi suddenly felt that it might be easier to talk to a baby than to talk to a drunkard.
"Wait...... Wait for me...... See, here's ...... Where is this......" Li Xiaoli lost his voice after saying this, and Zheng Xiyi didn't dare to hang up the phone, so he had to ask if anyone was there from time to time, and after four or five minutes, a man's voice came from the phone.
"Absai, are you a friend of this guest?"
"Absai, yes, I'm her friend, where is she? I'll go pick her up. By the way, how is she doing now?"
"OH, SHE'S PROBABLY ASLEEP, WE'RE AT THE BLUEJAZZ BAR ON GRAND ROAD. ”
"Okay, thank you very much, please help me take care of her, I'll be over right away, I'll call this again when I get to the bar, please don't let anyone take her until I arrive. ”
Zheng Xiyi hung up his mobile phone and quickly changed his home clothes into clothes for going out, fortunately, it is August, and the weather is hot and he wears less, so it will take five minutes to just put on clothes in winter. Zheng Xiyi got dressed, grabbed his wallet and mobile phone and was about to rush out the door, after thinking about it, he turned around and came back to find a hat to bring on, and took a thin jacket and put it in a plastic bag, and then hurriedly went downstairs.
