Chapter 1087: Cheng Long's Purpose
As far as etiquette is concerned, Cheng Long, as the host, was late, which was rude, not to mention that this time the banquet was still Jin Yufan, a top Korean artist who has great influence and popularity in the world, which also made Cheng Long's heart full of bad taste, and he felt ashamed to be thrown abroad.
But seeing Jin Yufan so polite and didn't care, just like this, Cheng Long's good impression of Jin Yufan increased greatly, and in his heart, he suddenly regarded Jin Yufan as a person who could become friends with his son, a very good and suitable friend.
The main reason why Cheng Long invited Jin Yufan to dinner through Zhang Xueyou this time was that he planned to get to know Jin Yufan. At the same time, if you can, see if you can make Jin Yufan and his son Fang Zuming become friends.
Eh~~~ To put it bluntly, Cheng Long also began to worry about his son, hoping that Prince Long could have his own network as soon as possible, instead of relying on his own face and relationships to develop in the entertainment industry as he is now.
At this time, the appearance of Jin Yufan naturally entered the sight of Brother Cheng Long, and this also has the scene of the two sides meeting now.
Kim Yu-beom debuted for ten years, and finally held his own concert, and once it was held, it was not a single concert, but an Asian tour.
In the past two months, about Kim Woo-beom's "TenyearThanksgivingRoad" Asian tour, I dare not say that it is in the world, nor in the whole of Asia, but at least in the entire Southeast Asian region, in the places that can be affected by the Korean Wave, it is definitely the most interesting thing.
Because of the huge influence of the Korean Wave on Southeast Asian countries, and Kim Yufan, as the current supergod in the Korean entertainment industry, deserves to be the first artist. Jin Yufan's every move is particularly attention-grabbing.
For example, this time the "TenyearThanksgivingRoad" Asian tour, the entire Southeast Asian countries have reported and tracked the matter, and even many fans who knew that Jin Yufan would not come to his country to hold a concert cried and shouted and begged, hoping that Jin Yufan could come to his country to hold a concert
There is no doubt that Kim Woo-beom's "Tenyear ThanksgivingRoad" Asian tour is the most high-profile entertainment event in the whole of Southeast Asia at this time. If it weren't for the fact that the Middle East and West Asia are Arab countries. Because of religion and geography, but also because the war is chaotic at the moment, otherwise, Kim Woo-beom's "TenyearThanksgivingRoad" Asian tour will attract the attention of the whole of Asia, and that would be no problem.
Uh~~~ But then again, in the Middle East and West Asia, it seems that it really belongs to a very special country, and it seems that there are no stars who have conquered that place, even the god-like Michael Jackson has only conquered a few countries and a small area. Even Manadona, who was able to get the two countries to stop the war and watch the game of the king of the ball, has very limited influence in the Middle East.
If you want to say that the most exclusive and mysterious place in the world, it seems to be the Middle East. Because of the large desert, religious beliefs and ethnic conflicts, as well as the existence of wars and terrorist groups, it seems to be open to the public. But in fact, it is indeed the most mysterious place, and it is the most difficult for outsiders to integrate into.
Kim Yu-beom held the "TenyearThanksgivingRoad" Asian tour for ten years after his debut. Starting from Korea, I traveled all the way south, passing through Japan and Treasure Island, and finally came to Hong Kong. The moment Jin Yufan stepped on Hong Kong soil, it is more strictly said that the moment Jin Yufan stepped on the plane from Baodao Airport, the Hong Kong media was already crazy and paid close attention to Jin Yufan's concert in Hong Kong.
Especially in the Hong Kong paparazzi, which are also well-known in the entertainment industry around the world. Suddenly it boiled, and almost all the staff were dispatched, and began to scatter in all directions centered on the Peninsula Hotel, and began to squat and track Jin Yufan.
If nothing else, even now. Jin Yufan was invited to eat at Zuo Tan Right Li Restaurant, at this time there were several paparazzi squatting outside the door, the strength and fame of the Hong Kong paparazzi are not just blown, compared to the crazy fans of South Korea, it is much more professional.
Because of the increasing influence of Hallyu, and Kim Yufan's special status in the Korean entertainment industry, even if Kim Yufan has no action, he has always been the focus of attention of entertainment media in various countries.
This can be seen from Kim Woo-beom's concert in Japan. Jin Yufan has never entered Japan, but when Jin Yufan arrived in Sapporo, there were still countless fans to pick him up, and this situation definitely shocked and envied countless local Japanese artists.
Japan is like this, let alone entering China, after all, Jin Yufan has developed very well in China, has a great influence and popularity base, compared to Japan, Jin Yufan since the moment he entered the treasure island, all kinds of news about Jin Yufan, including the media and paparazzi around him, have almost never disappeared.
Because of this, almost every move of Jin Yufan was presented in everyone's sight under the revelations of the media, especially when Jin Yufan came to Hong Kong, with the concerted efforts of the Hong Kong media and the paparazzi, almost everyone in Hong Kong who is not big knows that there is such a person as Jin Yufan who came to Hong Kong and is about to hold his own "TenyearThanksgivingRoad" Asian Tour Hong Kong Station at the Hung Hom Coliseum.
This point, because of the reports of major media and the habit of Hong Kong citizens to read newspapers, basically know about this matter.
There is no way, Jin Yufan came to Hong Kong this time to hold his "TenyearThanksgivingRoad" Asian tour in Hong Kong, and countless media attention has led to the fact that major media and newspapers in Hong Kong have reported on this matter, even if they don't care about the entertainment industry, but because the registration rate is too high, they will know that there is such a thing.
Brother Cheng Long also learned about this from the newspaper and knew about Jin Yufan. Under curiosity, he simply investigated and understood Jin Yufan, and the final reaction was the same as Zhang Xueyou and his wife, dumbfounded.
Cheng Long after reacting. I immediately felt that Jin Yufan was a very talented, powerful and capable person, such a person, whether it was himself or his son. should all be befriended with it.
Therefore, after making this decision, knowing that Jin Yufan was busy with his "TenyearThanksgivingRoad" Asian tour, and the time was very tight, so Brother Cheng Long took the initiative to ask a friend about it, and finally knew that Zhang Xueyou and Jin Yufan had a good relationship, and then after Zhang Xueyou's call, there was a meeting this time.
"Xiao Jin, let me introduce you. This is my son Fang Zuming!" After a few simple chats, Brother Cheng Long pointed at Fang Zuming and said with a smile: "My son should be older than you, but it doesn't matter, everyone calls their own names, you can call me Brother Cheng Long like others, or you can call my son Brother Yi according to his age." β
"Inside!" Jin Yufan didn't react to this, so he turned around with a smile. He bowed to Fang Zuming and said, "Hello Brother Fang Zuming, I am Jin Yufan from South Korea. Please take care of us when we meet for the first time. β
Fang Zuming also investigated Jin Yufan's information and situation, and also knew that although Jin Yufan was younger than himself, he was much better than himself in all aspects, and he was so good that he couldn't afford any jealousy, and could only look up, this was definitely not a simple little brother. This is definitely a person who deserves his respect, and it is very likely that he can help himself in other things in the future.
Not to mention that before coming, Brother Cheng Long reminded Fang Zuming well, so in the face of Jin Yufan, Fang Zuming didn't dare to hold it up. A little uncomfortable bowed and saluted back: "Hehe, I'll call you Yu Fan, don't call me Brother Fang Zuming, this sounds obedient, everyone calls me Brother Dad, you call me Big Brother now, I'm really not used to it, you just call me Brother Yicheng." β
"Well, I know Brother Ming!" Looking at Fang Zuming, who had a gentle face, Jin Yufan nodded with a smile.
I don't know why, Fang Zuming looks like a scholar, but I don't know why this kid wants to take drugs, and in the end he made himself infamous, and even cheated his father, which is really incomprehensible.
After all, Fang Zuming has the help and support of Brother Cheng Long, the starting point has been high, plus there is no shortage of contacts and relationships, the young man is also very handsome, it can be said that he has a promising future, why do you want to touch those things, it is really incomprehensible, is it because the pressure is too much, what is this, what pressure does Fang Zuming have, just because his Lao Tzu is Cheng Long, so the pressure is high, Nima This pressure is hairy, why don't you want to think about if there is no Cheng Long, where are you still playing, you can still enter the entertainment industry, you are so easy to enter this circleγ
Of course, Cheng Long also knew that some things could not be said so directly, and it would seem too abrupt, so after Jin Yufan and Fang Zuming said hello, Cheng Long began to beckon Jin Yufan to sit down, and after introducing Jin Yufan's signature dish to Zuo Tan and Right Li, after getting Jin Yufan's consent, he ordered Zuo Tan and Right Li's signature dish, and then began to chat with Jin Yufan.
"Xiao Jin, your "TenyearThanksgivingRoad" Asian tour is really good, I have also seen reports, it is said that you are in Japan, you are really like an international superstar, it is really amazing. β
"Hehe, Brother Cheng Long, you are too polite, if you want to say that in Japan, your popularity and influence are truly amazing. Facing Cheng Long's praise, Jin Yufan said with a smile.
This is not Jin Yufan's perfunctory and sycophancy, Cheng Long's influence and popularity in Japan are definitely beyond your imagination. It can even be said that Cheng Long's most loyal and crazy fans are actually in Japan, and they are Japanese fans.
After the news that Brother Cheng Long was going to get married, the biggest reaction was Japan, and even caused a suicide of Japanese fans, which also made Brother Cheng Long finally decide to choose a hidden marriage, and it was not until more than 20 years later that the matter of marriage slowly surfaced, and at that time, Prince Long had already become an adult.
It can be seen that Brother Cheng Long's popularity and influence in Japan is absolutely not to be said.
"Haha, what am I, if it was twenty years ago, it would have been about the same, but now I'm so old, and my fans are getting old with me. I don't have many young fans, so I may still have the popularity and influence I have in Japan now, but I can't compare it to when I was younger. It's Xiaojin, it's really remarkable, and the Korean Wave has had a lot of influence this year. As a leader of the Korean Wave, I have never developed in Japan, and I can enjoy the treatment of an international superstar when I go to Japan, which is really amazing. β
Okay, Brother Cheng Long said so, what else can Jin Yufan say, do you have to continue to be polite to Brother Cheng Long, and praise each other for being more popular and influential in Japan, when will it end?
Thereupon. Jin Yufan smiled at the meaning of Brother Cheng Long: "Hehe, I don't know the specifics, I am also very confused, and even a little panicked, after all, I have never developed in Japan before, and I didn't expect that there would be so many enthusiastic fans." β
Seeing that Jin Yufan chose to back down very decisively, Cheng Long affirmed that Jin Yufan was a smart person. What's more important is a person with a lot of self-control. It's someone else, in the case of Kim Yu-beom. can debut ten years ago, with all the achievements of today, he will definitely be proud and arrogant, where will he be like Jin Yufan, who is very polite and gentle at all times.
Of course, Cheng Long, who is old and sophisticated, certainly does not think that Jin Yufan is a mild. A good-natured person. If Jin Yufan is really a person with this character, then he would not be able to live in the entertainment industry to this day.
In the highly competitive and dark and complex circle of the entertainment industry, people who are simple and have no brains are really covered by a very good backer. Otherwise, it would be impossible to keep it in stock.
And Jin Yufan's situation at that time, he was poor and white, and he didn't have any relatives and friends, and his talent and ability were not shown at that time, and it can almost be said that he was able to get to this point without anyone's help, which is enough to prove that Jin Yufan is not a good-tempered person, it is estimated that he is an iron-blooded and tough, and even a little ruthless person behind him, otherwise he would not have come to this day, and he would not have all this career today.
Brother Cheng Long has experienced the most chaotic era in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, the glory of Hong Kong, the rampant underworld, and the turbulence of the return, so he is used to seeing the bloody wind and rain in the entertainment industry, yes, it is bloody and bloody, of course, he knows that if he wants this circle to survive, or even to live better than others, then sometimes he has to be ruthless.
In fact, Cheng Long, who was born in the Dragon and Tiger Division, was not a good-tempered person, at that time in the Hong Kong entertainment industry, the Dragon and Tiger Division had many conflicts with the underworld, and the powerful Dragon and Tiger Division was the favorite of any crew, not only an excellent Dragon and Tiger Division, but also because of its strong strength, it could avoid being harassed and blackmailed by the gangsters.
Cheng Long himself admitted that because of the conflict with the Hong Kong gangsters, he even brought his own pistol and grenades in order to protect himself. This shows how chaotic and terrible the Hong Kong entertainment industry was at that time, and Cheng Long was able to get to this day, with everything today, you say that Cheng Long is an honest person, who would believe it.
Therefore, Cheng Long also knows that Jin Yufan can get to this point in just ten years without anyone's support and help, and how difficult it is to develop to this point.
Maybe because of Cheng Long, the speed of serving the food this time was very fast, and in less than a few minutes, all the dishes were served, and Jin Yufan and Cheng Long chatted while eating.
"By the way, Yu Fan, this time I asked you out for dinner, in addition to wishing you the smooth holding of the Hong Kong leg of your "TenyearThanksgivingRoad" Asian Tour, another thing is to cooperate with you. β
"Cooperation!" Jin Yufan was stunned for a moment, looked at Cheng Long carefully, and found that Cheng Long was not joking with himself, so he couldn't help but put down his chopsticks and said seriously: "Big brother, you say!"
"Well, I'm going to make a movie recently, and of course because it's my movie, it's definitely an action scene. In this play, I also have to choose a foreign actor to participate. Eh~~~ How to say it, it's actually not just a foreign actor, my idea is to find one or two actors in both Korea and Japan to participate in this play. During this time, because of your "TenyearThanksgivingRoad" Asian concert, which had a great influence, I also knew about you, and I did a brief investigation and understanding of you, so I found that you are also one of the most suitable candidates for my Korean actor in this drama. β
Speaking of this, Cheng Long looked at Jin Yufan who was smiling, and couldn't help laughing: "So, this time I specially asked Xueyou to help, asked you to come out to meet, and officially invited you, I don't know what you think, are you willing to participate in this play?"
Cheng Long's words were a bit unexpected for Jin Yufan, to be honest, Jin Yufan didn't think that Cheng Long would invite him to participate in the movie before.
Uh~~~ This can only be said that Jin Yufan's itinerary has been too slow recently, there is no shortage of TV series and movies, and he has reached a verbal agreement with Takashi Miike in Japan before, so he has not thought about this at all.
Now, Brother Cheng Long directly stated the purpose of inviting himself, and Jin Yufan really didn't expect it. (To be continued......)
