"I'm not kidding, President Kim Young-min, NIM. ”

"Then you are harming the interests of the company and shareholders! Director Zheng Xiyi, you have to think carefully, this will cause very serious consequences!"

Kim Yingmin's eyes are even red, what are you kidding, go back to the United States? At least half a year and two years at most? You must know that the scope of the contract between S.M and Zheng Xiyi can only include South Korea and Southeast Asia, and China, Japan, Europe and the United States are not within the scope of this contract, so if Zheng Xiyi returns to the United States for two years, it will mean S.MCamp; C may not have the works and income in the next two years, which is very important for S.MCamp, who has just gained a foothold in the Korean film and television industry; C is no small matter.

Zheng Xiyi took the coffee that had cooled down and drank it in one sip, and then stretched out his hand to signal Jin Yingmin to sit down, Jin Yingmin glared at him for a long time, and finally sat down angrily.

"I know what President Kim Young-min is worried about, but don't forget, just now I have arranged for Lee Joon-gi XI to appear in "The King's Man", and Lee Joon-gi XI is also S.MCamp; C's artist, and I believe that Lee Joon-gi's share of XI should be very different from mine. ”

Jin Yingmin froze for a moment, and his expression, which was still angry just now, suddenly broke down.

What nonsense, can Lee Joon-gi's contract be compared with Jung Hee-yi's? The difference is more than 108,000 miles.

Zheng Xiyi's contract plus his work at S.MCamp; C's shares, in the end, can get nearly eighty and a half percent of the salary share, even if the remuneration and other miscellaneous expenses of the agent team are deducted, Zheng Xiyi can still get about sixty percent, and in the whole of South Korea, it is probably only Pei Yongjun, who is the president himself, can be compared with Zheng Xiyi in terms of salary sharing, even Lee Byung-hun and Zhang Dongjian are at least half of the share. Not to mention Lee Joon-gi as a rookie actor, it is good to get one and a half percent after a play, and S.MCamp; C can exploit a lot more from him than he can earn from Zheng Xiyi.

Kim Young-min coughed embarrassedly, regained the demeanor of the president, and said in a low voice: "Hee-yi, although I say so, can you and Lee Joon-gi have the same salary? ”

It's not wrong for Kim Young-min to say this, Zheng Xiyi's current salary is indeed much higher than Lee Joon-gi's, not to mention the difference of dozens of times, ten times is certain.

Zheng Xiyi's salary for starring in "My Name is Kim Sam Soon" is a record-breaking episode of 40 million won, which is definitely the value of the top actor in South Korea now, but with the ratings of "My Name is Kim Sam Soon" rising, it is obvious that Zheng Xiyi's salary for the next TV series will increase again, if "My Name is Kim Sam Soon" can break through 50% of the ratings and become a national drama, then Zheng Xiyi's salary can rise even more, after all, the ratings of two consecutive TV series have broken 50% in the Korean film and television industry.

When it comes to movie salary, Zheng Xiyi blushes a little, he has also acted in a "Empty House" so far, which is still a literary film, except for being able to win awards, there is no need to think about anything else, what box office, what salary is all floating clouds.

South Korea's film salary is too low compared to the United States, and it is understandable that acting in literary films, American super A-level actors often lower their salaries to accept literary films, win awards, and dedicate themselves to art, everyone can understand, but if it is a commercial film, Americans can not care whether South Korea has an ordinary salary so low, as long as Zheng Xiyi takes South Korea's salary to make two Korean commercial films, then his $2 million salary in the United States will naturally drop, although it will not drop to the same value as South Korea, but it is at least cut by half.

This is also the reason why Zheng Xiyi has only received one literary film in South Korea in the past two years, not that there is no commercial film to invite him to star, but there is really no commercial film that is worth him to risk lowering his price to star.

Zheng Xiyi doesn't remember many famous Korean movies, let alone the time, if it weren't for the fact that "Shibi Island" and "Taiji Flag Flying" would have been screened a long time ago, he didn't know the specific shooting time of these two movies, so every month S.MCamp; C The script sent by the script review team is just to look at the name, as long as it is not the movie he remembers, he refuses it all. "The King's Man" was even almost rejected by him, because the name on the cover of this script was "Er" when it was first sent, and then there was a line of small print below that read "The King's Man", if Zheng Xiyi hadn't taken a second look, he would have been thrown aside.

Zheng Xiyi naturally would not be entangled with Kim Young-min over the issue of how much to pay, he pointed to the door of the office and said: "As long as Lee Joon-gi finishes this "The King's Man", we can open the salary as much as you want, and President Kim Young-min NIM should not say anything too low in front of him." ”

Kim Young-min smiled and waved his hand, as the president of the company, how could he show such an attitude in front of the artist, Jung Hee-yi said to him again: "In addition, I heard that the filming of this film is in difficulty, and I suggest that the company invest in this film." ”

Kim Young-min's interest was attracted again, and he leaned forward unconsciously, and asked, "Piano master, is the news accurate?"

Zheng Xiyi nodded and said: "After I got the script, I asked Brother Cheng Man to arrange someone to collect relevant information, the director of this movie is a bankrupt director, and the content of the movie is in conflict with social traditions, so investors are not very optimistic about this movie, plus almost all famous actors have refused to play the male number one, and even the already determined male number two Zhang He XI has been urgently enlisted in the army because of his involvement in the evasion incident, so no one is willing to invest." ”

Kim Yingmin was shocked when he heard this, "What do you mean by the conflict with social traditions?"

Zheng Xiyi looked at Kim Yingmin with a little embarrassment, and whispered: "This movie is mainly about the emotional story between three men......"

"Between the three men...... Kim Yingmin is also a returnee, how could he not understand the hidden meaning of Zheng Xiyi's words, and immediately frowned, "Xiyi, you know that the acceptance of homosexuality in Korean society is very low, right?"

Zheng Xiyi hurriedly said: "I checked the information, as early as the nineties of the last century, there were already movies and TV series about homosexuality in South Korea, and "The King's Man" is a story from the Joseon Dynasty, at least the sense of substitution will not be so strong, not to mention that even Lee Byung-hun XI has acted in gay movies like "Bungee Jumping of Love", which shows that starring in this kind of movie actually has little impact on the actors. ”

If it weren't for his identity, Kim Young-min would have to give Zheng Xiyi a big roll of his eyes, "I'm talking to you now about the risk of investment, not Lee Joon-gi XI, with his appearance, even if he is banned because of this movie, it is not very difficult to make a comeback." Speaking of which, I haven't thanked you yet, but I just dug up an artist who doesn't even need a signing fee and has such a high appearance, I want you to have another job as a talent scout. ”

Zheng Xiyi laughed to cover up his weakness, I can't tell Jin Yingmin that I really don't have a good vision but am reborn.

Kim Young-min knocked on the armrest of the sofa and said while thinking: "With Lee Joon-gi's appearance, there is naturally no problem in acting in such a movie, it is enough to just look at those eyes without saying anything, as for the salary or something, he is a rookie actor, and the company doesn't care about this money, but when it comes to investing in this movie, Hee-yi, this risk is not ordinary." The company now says that it has gained a firm foothold in the film and television industry, but in fact, there is only one work of yours in the movie, although it won the Venice actor, but it is still too little, in case something goes wrong, I will not be able to explain it to the department. ”

Zheng Xiyi glanced at him, Jin Yingmin had something to say, his eyes rolled, Zheng Xiyi smiled and said: "Since the president NIM thinks that the risk is still relatively large, then I think so, it is better for the company not to invest, but if I didn't say it, I personally invested in this movie, so it has nothing to do with the company." ”

Jin Yingmin's face changed suddenly, and he waved his hand again and again and said: "Xiyi, what are you talking about, don't you transfer all the risks to you personally? This is not good, not good, we are on the same front, I can't let you take risks alone." ”

Zheng Xiyi waved his hand and said: "No, no, I will find a few people to invest together and share the risk together, I guess Uncle Man will be interested in this." ”

Kim Youngmin's face turned green, what are you kidding, I said it so obviously, you actually went to find Li Xiuman?

Seeing that Kim Youngmin's eyes widened, Zheng Xiyi smiled and apologized to him, "Miane, President NIM, I'm joking, I understand what you mean, but I have to ask them how much money they need first, and then come and discuss with President NIM." ”

Jin Yingmin laughed at this time, pointed at Zheng Xiyi and said, "Eh, Xiyi, you still like to joke so much, okay, then I'll wait for your good news." ”

Zheng Xiyi saw that the matter was finished, he stood up and was about to leave, Jin Yingmin also smiled and stood up to see him off, just walked to the door, Jin Yingmin felt as if he had forgotten something, turned his head to look at Zheng Xiyi, and then looked around, "Strange, I seem to have forgotten something to ask you, Xiyi, do you know?"

Zheng Xiyi looked at Kim Young-min with a ridiculous face, "President NIM, are you going to joke with me too? Is it reasonable to ask me about something you forgot? You should ask your secretary." ”

Jin Yingmin tilted his head and thought about it, "It seems that he doesn't know either, it should be something related to you, but he can't remember it for a while, forget it, you go first, you have to film in the afternoon, right, don't delay." ”

Zheng Xiyi nodded and saluted goodbye, Jin Yingmin didn't really send him out, stood inside the door and waved at him and turned around to continue working.

Zheng Xiyi closed the door, hurriedly said hello to Jin Yingmin's secretary who was sitting outside and ran away, but the secretary's eldest sister was startled, and muttered: "What's wrong with this child? ”

Not long after, suddenly the door in the office opened, and Kim Yingmin hurriedly walked out and asked, "Where is Xiyi?

The secretary stood up and replied, "It's been about two or three minutes, what's the matter, President NIM, what's the matter?"

Jin Yingmin opened his mouth, thought about it, but gave up, waved his hand, and said, "Forget it, I'll ask him next time." ”

Saying that, he turned around and walked inside, whispering to himself as he walked, and the secretary's eldest sister pricked up her ears and listened hard, and vaguely heard the president NIM saying: "I was fooled by this kid again, and I completely forgot to ask him why he went to the United States......"
