"What do you mean? Kang Joon-hyuk also wants to act?"

In the office of Director Choi of the Sambo Building of the film and television division of iHQ, Director Choi and Park Seung-deok sat opposite each other, and when he heard Park Seung-deok say that Lee Jung also wanted to appear in the KBS project drama "Tui Nu", his brow couldn't help but wrinkle.

At the beginning, Li Zheng signed a contract with the company through Park Chengde's introduction, and then he was responsible for signing a contract with Li Zheng, so Li Zheng is his artist, and he is responsible for the relevant performance planning and promotion.

has been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and there are many artists he has signed under his banner, but in terms of popularity and commercial value, although Li Zheng has just debuted, he is the leader among his artists, so it is impossible for him to pretend to be negligent and turn a blind eye to Li Zheng's ideas.

But the drama "Push Slave" is valued by Zhang He, and it is also an invitation sent to Zhang He by the other party, as an old man who signed a contract with the company very early, and an artist discovered by Zheng Xuntuo, who is very influential in the company, although in 2004 he was criticized by the Korean media and the public for allegedly evading military service, and his popularity declined, but it is undeniable that Zhang He's connections and influence in the company are far from being comparable to the current Li Zheng.

Although Li Zheng's commercial value is far greater than that of Zhang He, and the future prospects are also favored by most of the company's top management, if he competes with Zhang He, Director Cui feels that the gains outweigh the losses.

It is possible to offend Zhang He and the connections behind Zhang He is one aspect, and whether he can compete with Zhang He and finally win the role is another aspect.

After all, since the other party sent the script to Zhang He and invited Zhang He to audition, he obviously values Zhang He's image and acting skills more, and as a newcomer who has just debuted, Li Zheng, who only starred in a TV series, may not be as important as Zhang He in the other party's heart, even if he wins the opportunity to audition, the possibility of rejection will be greater.

But Director Cui knows these considerations, and can only think about them in his heart, but he can't declare them.

After getting along with Li Zheng for nearly a year, Director Cui already knew that Li Zheng was extremely smart, and Li Zheng naturally would not be unaware of his own considerations, and now that he asked Park Chengde to talk about these things with him, Li Zheng has naturally thought about the possible impact of this matter, and he doesn't seem to care too much.

Although Director Cui had the intention to refuse, he knew that once he refused, his relationship with Li Zheng would inevitably deteriorate.

When the contract was signed, because of Li Zheng's insistence and because of Park Chengde's relationship, the contract at that time was not signed for six years like the average newcomer actor who had just entered the industry, but only signed a four-year contract, from October last year to August this year, nearly a year has passed, according to Li Zheng's current development trend in the entertainment industry, at the latest by the end of next year, the company will definitely discuss the renewal of the contract with Li Zheng in advance.

In order to allow Li Zheng to renew the contract, it is natural that the relationship between the two parties cannot be destroyed now.

After all, Li Zheng's personal image and commercial value are not only limited to film and television, but also music, advertising, and business...... The potential and prospects are extremely ambitious, even if you take a step back, Li Zheng will never have such a popular work as "Splendid Legacy" in the future, but in terms of Li Zheng's own image and topicality, it has high commercial value.

If you use an analogy with an artist in the Korean entertainment industry, Kim Tae-hee is a good example.

Thinking of this, Director Choi rubbed his brows, and after half a sound, he looked at Park Seung-deok and said, "I will think of a way to try to give Kang Junhyuk a chance to audition." After a pause, Director Cui opened his mouth, hesitated for a long time, and finally said, "I will help Jiang Junhyuk fight for the opportunity to audition, but I still hope that Chengde can advise him, even if he has the opportunity to audition, his chances of getting the role will not be too great." ”

Park Chengde smiled slightly bitterly when he heard this, and nodded: "Director, I know, I will advise him." ”

…………

"So, you're probably coming back by the end of this month?"

Sitting on the sofa in the living room, Li Zheng was holding his mobile phone and talking to BOA in the United States.

"That girl doesn't know what she's been up to lately, I haven't seen her for over a week...... Hehe, that's good, no problem, when you come back, I will definitely invite you to a good meal, whatever you want to eat...... Okay, you can rest quickly, and we'll talk when you get back. ”

Hanging up the phone, Li Zheng was thoughtful.

From last year to now, it has been a year since BOA went to the United States for development, and from the usual phone calls with BOA and Li Zheng's understanding of the American music market, BOA's development in the United States this time does not seem to be smooth.

However, if you think about it, it is normal, according to the pride and closed state of the American entertainment environment, it is indeed not easy for an Asian to open the American market.

When he was studying in the United States, Li Zhengjing was introduced by a friend who had sold many songs to music companies, and when the other party saw that he was a yellow race, even if the songs themselves were extremely good, the price was several percent lower than that of European and American creators. If it weren't for the fact that he later wrote a few excellent songs and became famous in professional circles, the price of the songs would not have returned to normal, and he would not have been able to accumulate the initial initial funds in the United States.

Only when you are actually in the United States will you know that the entertainment market in the United States seems to be open, but in fact it is a very exclusive place.

"Bell bell bell—"

Just as Li Zheng was deep in thought, a mobile phone rang suddenly.

Li Zheng looked at the number and answered the phone: "Uncle De, what is the matter?"

On the other end of the phone, Park Seung-deok said: "Director Cui agreed, saying that he would fight for an audition spot for you." ”

Hearing Park Seung-deok's affirmative reply, Li Zheng glanced at the script that was being placed on the low table in the living room in front of him, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but hook slightly, revealing a smile.

"Small Politics ......"

Park Seungde paused slightly, as if he wanted to say something, but he didn't seem to know how to speak.

"What's the matter, Uncle De, has something else happened?" asked Li Zheng with a frown.

On the other end of the phone, Park Chengde was silent for a moment, and then said, "No, no." …… I wanted to ask you how you did with the song for CASS Beer? I called you today and asked about your progress. ”

When Li Zheng heard this, he laughed softly: "It's almost finished." I'll speed it up a bit, and I should be able to show them the full work within a week. ”

"Hmm. Then I'll call them back later. ”

Park Chengde thought for a while and said, "You don't have to be in a hurry, pay attention to rest." I remember that you are going to shoot KB Financial Group's endorsement ad tomorrow, so don't be too tired. ”

Li Zheng nodded and responded, "Well, I know Uncle De." Thank you. ”

"Huh. ”

Park Chengdeok smiled and said, "That's okay, then I won't say more." ”

After talking about things, just as Li Zheng was about to hang up the phone, Park Seung-deok seemed to remember something and suddenly said another word.

"Xiao Zheng, I remember that it seems to be Kim Yuna who will shoot the KB commercial with you tomorrow, right?"
