Episode 327: The Old Foxes' Temptation
Jin Yingmin looked at Zheng Xiyi expressionlessly, Zheng Xiyi smiled, didn't say anything, lowered his head and continued to read the script.
Obviously, there is a reason why Kim Young-min came to bother during Jung Hee-yi's rest period: MBC's insistence is one, and the original actor Kong Liu is an actor in the SidusHQ department, and the more critical reason is that Jung Hee-yi and Camp; C's actor agency contract is about to expire next year!
MBC's insistence is because Zheng Xiyi's starring in "My Name is Kim Sanshun" two years ago was too good, and this time "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" is based on the best-selling novel, which is similar to the situation of "Full House of Romance", so if Zheng Xiyi can be invited to star, even if he offends SidusHQ, it is not a big deal, SidusHQ is impossible to really have a stiff relationship with MBC, and the most likely thing is to be angry with Zheng Xiyi.
At that time, Zheng Hee-yi ignored the invitation of CJ Entertainment and SidusHQ and turned around and got involved with S.M, and there was no shortage of open and secret battles between each other, but whether it was Zheng Hee-yi or Camp; C didn't lose the last time, but let Camp; C has gained a firm foothold in the Korean film and television industry, so MBC feels that Zheng Xiyi, who is returning to South Korea with the general trend of American dramas, should not be afraid of offending SidusHQ, but this time he really has to agree, even if Zheng Xiyi has a mortal enmity with SidusHQ.
Zheng Xiyi looked at the script with his eyes, but secretly sneered in his heart, these old foxes of the S.M Council are really scheming, are they really so worried that I won't renew the contract and leave? Lin Xiyin is still a director of S.M, Camp; He has 49% of the shares in C, he really doesn't understand, what is the meaning of S.M playing this set, as long as he is a normal person, he knows that Zheng Xiyi can't switch to other brokerage companies.
"Did these old foxes hear something?"
Zheng Xiyi frowned, and suddenly remembered the merger and acquisition case of RELOAD Korea, and couldn't help but raise his eyelids and quickly glance at Kim Young-min when he turned the page, but found that Kim Young-min was staring at him very intently, as if he was observing Zheng Xiyi's expression and look.
Zheng Xiyi finally figured out the mystery of this, "It seems that the merger and acquisition of RELOAD Korea and NEOWIZ has misunderstood these guys!"
Although neither NEOWIZ nor RELOAD Korea has a brokerage business, it is a breeze for the merged new group to set up a new brokerage firm.
After the merger, the new group company will have the BUGS music source platform in hand, and it also has a good cooperative relationship with Lotte Cinemas, plus a leading figure like Jung Hee-yi, only a few more artists and IDOL need to be poached, and this new agency will at least be another Bae Yong-jun Keyeast, even if it can't become a behemoth like CJ Entertainment and SidusHQ!
Although Zheng Xiyi didn't have another Keyeast interest, it's good to scare and scare these old foxes now, at least until he and Camp; When C renews his contract, he has more hole cards to play.
Zheng Xiyi quietly put the script of "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop" back on the coffee table, and without looking up to talk to Kim Yingmin, he reached out and picked up the movie script again.
""Chaser", Luo Hongzhen's new film directed by IUM, is really worth looking forward to. Zheng Xiyi muttered to himself and opened the script.
Kim Young-min's face changed, but in the end he held back and didn't speak. He vaguely felt that Zheng Xiyi had already realized his intentions, and if he asked Zheng Xiyi to appear in the TV series again, it would be a little too humble, and Kim Young-min was also the president of NIM, and it was impossible to abandon his dignity.
The more I read the script of "The Chaser", the more serious Zheng Xiyi's expression became, his brows were twisted, and he closed the script after a long time, sighed long, and raised his head to look at Kim Yingmin.
As soon as Jin Yingmin and Zheng Xiyi glanced at each other, their hearts trembled, and Zheng Xiyi's eyes seemed to flash a light that made him shudder, making the momentum he had been brewing for a long time fall inexplicably, "Uh...... Xiyi, which do you think is better?"
Jin Yingmin, who originally wanted to fight for "Coffee Prince No. 1 Shop", changed his words and asked Zheng Xiyi directly about his decision, but he thought about the cold light he saw in Zheng Xiyi's eyes just now, and he had some heart palpitations.
Zheng Xiyi silently glanced out the window, hesitated for a few seconds before saying, "It's really a bad choice." Well, President NIM, I'll take these two scripts home and read them carefully, and I'll get back to you tomorrow, how about that?"
Kim Young-min was overjoyed, he thought at first that Zheng Xiyi would choose the movie directly, after all, this is the work of director Luo Hongzhen.
Although Na Hongjin has never directed commercial feature films, he is definitely one of the most famous directors in the Korean short film industry, winning film festival awards many times for his short films. Kim Young-min, the script of "The Chaser", has also read it, although he doesn't have much research on the movie, but the unique vision of the business elite is still there, just reading the script can make his hairs stand on end, with Luo Hongzhen's directing skills and Zheng Xiyi's acting skills, it will definitely be a blockbuster crime blockbuster that will cause a sensation in South Korea.
Zheng Xiyi's lack of direct choice means that there is still a chance, although the chance is slim.
Kim Young-min can see that Jung Hee-yi is very interested in "The Chaser", and the concentration and time when reading the script can reflect this, but I don't know why Jung Hee-yi hesitated, although Kim Young-min doesn't know why, but at least this is good news for some people in the S.M Council.
"Okay, okay, no problem, don't be in such a hurry, just give me an answer within three days." Kim Young-min nodded repeatedly.
Zheng Xiyi received the two scripts and the novel of "Coffee Prince No. 1" in front of him, and then asked, "Is there anything else you want to explain, President NIM?"
Jin Yingmin thought about it, shook his head and stood up, Zheng Xiyi also stood up, bowed first, and then said: "Then I will take these farewells, since the president of the novel is here, I won't go out to buy it, so as not to cause anything in the bookstore." I can't go out anymore, it's too bad. ”
Kim Young-min smiled and said, "Take it, take it, I don't read this kind of novel, it was sent by MBC along with the script, and I want to show it to you." As for your usual outings, I think you just need to bring an assistant, and you don't have to worry too much, after all, Xiyi is a world star, and you are still a little majestic in the eyes of fans. ”
Zheng Xiyi smacked his lips, tilted his head and thought about it, and said, "It always sounds like something is wrong, is the president NIM hinting to me that the fans will do something?"
Jin Yingmin clapped his hands and smiled: "Oh, Xiyi, you are really ...... I also said that I was going to surprise you, who knew that a casual sentence would be heard by you, your birthday ......"
Zheng Xiyi hurriedly interrupted him and said, "Wait, President IM, don't say it, I will immediately forget what I just said, please continue to prepare surprises for me, don't tell me!"
Saying that, Zheng Xiyi picked up the script and novel on the coffee table and turned around and left, before Jin Yingmin could react, the door was closed, and Zheng Xiyi walked away.
Kim Young-min stayed in place for a while before he smiled and said to himself, "MOYA!"
Zheng Xiyi nodded goodbye to Jin Yingmin's secretary outside, and then went out of the office to find Lin Xiyin.
Lin Xiyin's office is separated from Jin Yingmin's office by two doors, Zheng Xiyi saw that the door was open, so he took a look at it, and gently buckled his hand on the door twice, Wen Cailian raised her head when she heard the movement, and stood up with a smile when she saw that it was Zheng Xiyi.
"It turned out that Xiyi was here.,I said you still have NUNA in your eyes?,I haven't come to see me for so long.,I heard that you've been to see those girls downstairs.,Are you really Lolicon?"
Zheng Xiyi was startled, and quickly retracted his head and looked left and right, but fortunately, there was no one in the corridor.
He rushed in and closed the door with his backhand, and then wiped the cold sweat on his head and said, "Sister Cailian, you are really, what have you learned from my sister!
Wen Cailian covered her mouth and smiled and apologized to him, Zheng Xiyi also laughed, it was originally a joke, how could she apologize, she hurriedly took two steps forward and hugged Wen Cailian and said, "Eh, it's me who is wrong, I haven't come to say hello to Sister Cailian for almost a month, Miane." ”
Wen Cailian smiled and hugged Zheng Xiyi and patted him on the back, but the door in the inner room opened, Lin Xiyin stood by the door and looked at the two people who hugged him and said, "Zheng Xiyi, have you been a killer this year and even let go of my secretary?"
"Ah, Lin Xiyin, what are you talking about!"
"Director NIM!"
Zheng Xiyi and Wen Cailian were so frightened that they all took a step back and separated from each other, Zheng Xiyi pointed at Lin Xiyin and shouted, Wen Cailian blushed and was disgusted.
Lin Xiyin rolled his eyes and looked at Zheng Xiyi and said: "I went to the United States for two years and acted in the FBI for two years, I have the courage to be fat, dare to tell me, and call me by my name, do you mean that STELLA is also gone, no one beats you, so your skin is itchy?"
Zheng Xiyi shook his head speechlessly, ignored Lin Xiyin, bowed 60 degrees to Wen Cailian and said: "Crisp Song Mita, Sister Cailian, the family is unfortunately blessed with such an unreliable sister, please forgive me a lot, and usually take care of her, Kangsang Hamida." ”
Wen Cailian hurriedly wanted to return the salute, Lin Xiyin leaned over and put her hand on her waist to prevent her from saluting, and said in her mouth: "It's right to let this kid thank you for me, you have worked hard with me in the past few years, and you have suffered a lot of grievances, and it is not too much to accept his gift, you are welcome." ”
Wen Cailian's eyes turned red, and she hurriedly lowered her head and said, "Director NIM, Xiyi XI, you are too polite." ”
Lin Xiyin raised his arm and wrapped his arm around her shoulder and said, "Okay, you're welcome, I still use honorifics." Forget it, don't talk about etiquette with you native-born Koreans, I'll talk to Xiyi, you don't care, I have mineral water in it, and he has to drink less coffee now. ”
Wen Cailian raised her head and glanced at Lin Xiyin, and immediately lowered her head and agreed: "Inside, Director NIM." ”
Lin Xiyin and Zheng Xiyi entered the office and closed the door, Wen Cailian hurriedly took out a tissue and wiped her eyes, she almost cried when Lin Xiyin said it just now, and her heart was full of gratitude.
Sitting down on the sofa, Zheng Xiyi asked Lin Xiyin with a smile: "Sister, what are you doing here?" What kind of family interaction is playing with Sister Cailian, if you open the door now, you will definitely see Sister Cailian wiping her tears." ”
Lin Xiyin threw away a bottle of mineral water, picked up another bottle by herself, and said while unscrewing the lid: "You have been going to the United States to have a good time in the past two years, earning a lot of dollars, how can you see how hard your sister has worked in South Korea, if it weren't for Cailian helping me do a lot of things, I'm afraid it would have been several times harder." ”
Zheng Xiyi put away his smile and nodded silently.
