Episode 569: Someone who must be respected
Kong Zhiyong and Kong Liu got up to say goodbye It was already more than ten o'clock in the evening, after saying goodbye to Lin Xiyin and Zheng Xiyi, Kong Liu drove Kong Zhiyong home first, but when the car arrived outside the building where Kong Zhiyong lived, she didn't get out of the car, looked straight at Kong Liu and said: "Kong Liu, do you know why Xiyi has to be the only producer?"
Kong Liu looked at her a little puzzled, and said, "Director Zheng Xiyi wants to help me share the risk, haven't you already reminded me?"
Kong Zhiyong hesitated for a moment, and finally endured what he wanted to say, reached out and patted Kong Liu's arm and said, "Although it's only the first time we met, I can see that Xiyi really doesn't care about honorifics or anything, so don't always call him director nim, it will seem very angry."

"Inside, Ah to Yi Smecta, I will ...... with Zheng Uh, Xiyi Xi got close. Kong Liu nodded and agreed.
Kong Zhiyong also knew that this kind of strict and rigid politeness was a common problem of all Korean artists, so he didn't say much, opened the door and got out of the car, waved his hand at Kong Liu in the car and said: "You go, don't worry about me, I want to walk downstairs and relax, I'm a little overexcited today, and I can't sleep when I go home now." ”
Kong Liu's car quickly disappeared into the night, Kong Zhiyong raised his head to look at the sky, but unfortunately because of light pollution, she couldn't see the starlight in the night sky of Seoul for a long time, she took a long breath and walked slowly around the building, she was indeed very excited, even more excited than Kong Liu. Known as the "pride of Korean literature", she wrote this novel to arouse the attention of society to real-life cases, but she obviously underestimated the power of the church, so when Kong Liu approached her to make a movie, she knew that the filming and distribution process of the film must be difficult, but she did not expect that it would be so difficult just the first step.
The frustration of being rejected every time for half a year not only tormented Kong Liu, but even Kong Zhiyong was a little discouraged, until she met Zheng Xiyi today, she finally got the long-awaited good news, and Zheng Xiyi's wisdom and city government also restored her confidence in this movie. Speaking of which, the funds required for this movie are actually not high, and it is not more than 4 billion won to survive, and even 3 billion won will not be used if it goes well, because the salary of the actor with the largest head in the general film budget does not cost much at all, and the biggest name Kong Liu can play with zero pay, and other roles do not need and cannot invite other first-line or super first-line actors, so excluding those believers and actors who don't want to cause trouble, there are still a large number of professional supporting actors to choose from.
Kong Zhiyong, who had walked around the building twice, stepped on the steps, stopped and looked up at the sky, even if she couldn't see the twinkling starlight, she knew that those faint starlight were like hope, even if they were invisible to the naked eye, but in fact, they had been silently flickering in the distance......
The news that "The Crucible" had found investment and began to build a crew soon spread throughout the Korean entertainment industry, and after knowing who was so bold, everyone felt unexpected but reasonable, who made him an American. However, most people in the circle are still gloating in their hearts and waiting to see Zheng Xiyi fall on his heels, because the church will definitely not just forget it, and they finally settled the Zhongwu Road, but Zheng Xiyi jumped out to invest in "The Melting Pot", which is not what he is doing against the church.
The church forces also quickly got the news, if Kong Liu finally found Samsung, CJ and Lotte, which are film companies under the chaebol, the church would also admit it, after all, the chaebol is also their financier, but what is the matter with Zheng Xiyi? However, when the church wanted him to learn a lesson and obediently recover his investment, he found that they really didn't seem to have anything to do with Zheng Xiyi, this guy was a hedgehog, and there was no place to bite him.
Suppress his popularity, but Koreans praise Zheng Xiyi as a national treasure actor, a K-pop superstar and an international superstar, the only thing that can be compared to him is Lee Byung-hun who starred in the Hollywood blockbuster "Special Forces: The Rise of Cobra" last year, and if you really want to talk about it, in addition to the nationality advantage, Lee Byung-hun is actually several points behind Zheng Xiyi, and the aura of a Venice actor alone can beat Lee Byung-hun, not to mention the Oscar halo, not to mention that top actors like them really don't care much about popularity.
Block him and cut off his financial resources, but Zheng Xiyi has not even received a few advertisements in South Korea for so many years, half of the shares of his brokerage company are his own, and he bought a villa by himself before his debut in South Korea, and he is not bad at first glance, not to mention that even if he is banned in the Korean film and television industry, he can still go to Japan, China and even the United States to take over the film, no matter how powerful the Korean church is, it can't control the whole earth.
The church that couldn't think of a way to deal with Zheng Xiyi finally had to give up Ling Zhiwei's suppression method, and tried to take a roundabout route to start with C&C's parent company, S.M Entertainment, and use administrative means to force Zheng Xiyi, and for a while, Lee so-man, Kim Young-min, and S.M's large and small directors all received instructions asking them to order Zheng Xiyi to give up his investment in "The Crucible" in the name of the parent company. To the great surprise of the church, not to mention the large and small directors, even the founder of S.M, Li Xiuman, admitted that he couldn't manage Zheng Xiyi's affairs, let alone order him, and the church only then realized that Zheng Xiyi was not just a top actor with a little money, but also stood behind the world's top video game development and publishing company!
Although reload is still quite immature compared to the Korean chaebol, it is not something that the church can handle, the church can suppress Kong Liu and Kong Zhiyong because no matter how famous these two people are, they are actually only personal strength, how can they compete with an organization, but Zheng Xiyi not only has S.M behind him, but also a super multinational group as a backing, no matter how influential the church is in South Korea, it is impossible to fight with reload for a movie, so they had to use the last resort: playing the favor card.
"Anihasse, in Brother Shi and Brother Hudong, it's really surprising to me, I didn't expect the two of you to sit together and invite me to dinner, are Jiang Line and Liu Line planning to merge?" In the box of the 678 barbecue restaurant, Zheng Xiyi looked at the two national MCs sitting in the main seat with a playful expression.
Liu Zaishi smiled awkwardly, Jiang Hudong was much thicker than him, and said with a big grin: "Why invite you to dinner, don't pretend to be stupid, we are both affected by you, you can invite this meal!"
Zheng Xiyi's eyes rolled and asked, "Even if you want to invite lobbyists, then you shouldn't just invite the two of you, what about Brother Jidong?"
Liu Zaishi was even more embarrassed, and said with a wry smile: "Jidong directly rejected the other party, so ......"
Zheng Xiyi smiled and clapped his hands and said, "Sure enough, it's Brother Jidong, much more upright than Brother Shi and Brother Hudong!"
"Ahh
Liu Zaishi patted Jiang Hudong on the shoulder and said, "This kid is deliberately provoking you, why do you have to fall for him." ”
Saying that, Liu Zaishi turned his face to Zheng Xiyi and said: "We are both people with sons now, and we have to pray for future generations, we can't do this kind of good thing ourselves, so how can we persuade you not to do it." However, it is not easy to find a righteous and bright excuse for everyone to sit together and have a meal, but it is a pity that Jidong could not come. ”
Zheng Xiyi looked at Liu Zaishi and Jiang Hudong with sincere faces, silently restrained his smile, took the wine bottle and poured himself a glass of wine, holding it in both hands and saluting: "I won't say more, it's all in this glass of wine, in Brother Shi, Brother Hudong, Kangsang Hamida!"
Liu Zaishi and Jiang Hudong smiled and picked up the wine glass and drank with him, Zheng Xiyi filled another glass, and once again held the cup with both hands and saluted: "This cup is for Brother Ji Dong!"
Zheng Xiyi tilted his neck and drank another glass, just put the wine glass down, Liu Zaishi silently reached out and poured him another glass, Zheng Xiyi shook his head, pointed to the wine glass and said, "How is this cup counted?"
Liu Zaishi said coldly: "There is another person you want to respect, and the other party even promised to help her settle the plagiarism incident in the fourth series, but she still refused directly." ”
Zheng Xiyi's expression froze, and he reached out in silence to pick up the wine glass and poured it directly into his mouth.
Lee Hyori released her fourth official album "H-Logic" in April this year, but three days later, rumors of suspected plagiarism were exposed on the Internet, and a day later, Lee Hyori's agency M issued a clarification statement, saying that the so-called original singing groups on the Internet had participated in the demo recording of these songs before, and the songs circulating on the Internet were all illegally stolen, and the songs were original by the composer Bahnus, and there was no plagiarism. As soon as the statement came out, fans said that Wuli Xiaoli was popular, but there was still debate on the Internet, and some netizens insisted that those songs were copied from those unknown foreign groups.
Zheng Hee-yi was concentrating on making movies in Busan Buried Tsukiji Village at the time, so he didn't know that Lee Hyo-ri had released a new album, and Yoo Hyun-woo had heard about it, but as an agent from S.M, he didn't believe that M would make such a mistake at all, you must know that Lee Hyo-ri's status in M is equivalent to Boa's status in S.M, and this album is her return work after two years, how could M's music department make such a big mistake, so he thought this was M's new hype method, so he didn't mention it to Jung Hee-yi at all.
Although the crew of the crew knew, everyone knew what happened to Zheng Xiyi and Lee Hyori back then, and naturally no one would run to him to mention the topic of Lee Hyori when they were full, but it wasn't until May that Zheng Xiyi learned the news by chance, and immediately made him angry enough, while quickly calling Lee Hyori and asking her to immediately call the police to sue the so-called composer, while pondering what reason to throw Liu Xianyu back to S.M as an assistant.
As a fan of Lee Hyori, of course he knows about the four plagiarism incidents, but more than 20 years have passed since the memory of his previous life, and he has no unforgettable aura of the protagonist, how can he remember it clearly, he can't remember it at all if he doesn't hear people talk about it, but when people talk about it, it's already a month late, and the incident has developed to this extent, even he has nothing to do.
A month earlier than in his previous life, Lee Hyo-ri publicly admitted that half of the songs in the four albums were suspected of plagiarism without consulting with M, and a day later M officially issued an official statement confirming his position, but a very subtle sentence appeared in the statement: "Although Lee Hyo-ri's contract is about to expire, M will do his moral responsibility as the producer of the album......"
