Chapter 341: New Destinations
The next day, the seventeenth day of the first month, the day after tomorrow, the eighteenth day of the first month.
A meeting is taking place in the main conference room of the CUBE building. However, although it is a meeting, it is actually more like a posture similar to a centralized office - the main executives of several companies sit in front of them and do not move, and a group of middle and senior executives of the company sit around and are ready to be dispatched, and then many people come in and out with various matters, and the scene is like a leader meeting.
Of course, although the main high-level officials are sitting here, the people below basically just try to tell Jin Zhongming about one thing after another, and the reason why Jin Zhongming adopts this method is not to declare authority or anything like that...... Just kidding, if he is still needed here to brush up his prestige like the Blue House, then this company will be in vain. In fact, his purpose in doing this is very simple, that is, he wants the other person sitting next to him to hear as much news as possible, so as to have an understanding of the current situation of the company.
And this person is the official president of CUBE company, Hong Shengcheng, the actual operator of the company in the past, who has not had much contact with the company for more than half a year because of his recuperation in Europe, but today he has appeared here.
"China Bona has sent a very formal statement asking us to elaborate on the relationship between CJ Pictures and CUBE Film Production's subsidiary......
"Tell Bona that it's exactly what they think, CJ Pictures' brand effect is very high, and we will let it eat the production company on CUBE's side according to the program after a while...... But rest assured, nothing will be lost in him, and Bona will take a stake in CJ Pictures instead. Jin Zhongming replied a little impatiently while turning the pen. "In short, tell Yu Fatzi, I am a person who wants face, and I will not take the opportunity to hack his money, if he is really not at ease, he can send a whole accounting team to supervise it, and avoid these messy temptations!"
"Understood. "Immediately the person who came back immediately.
βBeastβ¦β¦β
Another group of people stepped forward, and it was all the Beast members who had just saluted, but a middle-level member of the company standing in front of the beast was interrupted by Jin Zhongming as soon as he spoke: "Didn't you see President Hong coming back?
"Yes!" the man immediately turned to Hong Shengcheng with a distinctly excited expression on his Beast members. "President Hong, when you were away, Vice President Choi arranged some guiding plans for Beast this year, and the specific content is in the plan...... You see, this roughly means that they will release a second official album around the middle of the year, and at the same time, in the second half of the year, they will prepare for their first concert tour in the Japanese market, which should have recovered by then, and release a Japanese single after the concert...... What do you think?"
As he spoke, he didn't know where to start, and the conference room suddenly became quieter, and then most of the people in the conference room had already secretly looked at this side, and those who didn't have eyes couldn't help but prick up their ears...... However, the senior executives of the company sitting next to Hong Seung-sung, that is, Choi Jin-ho, Shin Kyung-he, and those people, as well as Kim Kwang-so, who didn't know how to sit here, all had natural faces, as if they hadn't noticed the sudden quiet atmosphere in the conference room.
"It's good. Hong Shengcheng wiped his glasses disapprenosingly, and seemed to be in good spirits. "That's it, but I'll personally take care of the official second series. β
"Yes!" the minister directly in charge of the operation of the Beast replied unusually simply after glancing at Jin Zhongming, who was unapologetic, under the cover of the plan in his hand.
"Thank you, President. "The group of beasts is no longer a sophisticated teenager, but seeing that his mentor Hong Shengcheng came back with a good complexion and regained control of the operation of his group, even in front of Cui Zhenhao, he couldn't help but show some obvious joy.
"So be it. Hong Shengcheng didn't do much after mastering the rhythm. "I just came back, I have a lot of questions, and it's still early, I'm not in a hurry to talk to you more today, Minister Zhao will take them to get busy first!"
"Understood. This time the minister replied with much ease.
Of course, this kind of scene has a fleeting feeling in the meeting that day, Hong Shengcheng also knows that he is by no means the protagonist of today, Kim Zhongming is, and the other party can stand down for himself before the real meeting starts to express his attitude, which is already very interesting!
That's right, although today's meeting was held at CUBE, it was not only about the on-site office inside CUBE, but also about other related matters that had nothing to do with CUBE and even those who felt that they were more compelled to be higher.
In fact, shortly after this incident, in the morning, Lee Jae-bin and Jang Eun-hyuk of CJ Pictures, Lee Myung-han and Na Young-seok of TVN, Lee Mi-kyung, the head of MNET, Kim Young-suk, who oversaw the operation of the theater chain, Park Young-ho, the president of Loen, who runs the music source website, and Jung Hae-il, the representative of the independent record production department of Sidus HQ...... A large number of people in charge of the so-called pan-entertainment industry came one after another. And these people and these companies themselves have no subordinate relationship with the cube here, and even the scale is even larger than the cube several times, and they will only gather here because they need to be responsible to Jin Zhongming
So, soon everyone understood that there was only one person who could be the protagonist today.
"President Lee Jae-bin didn't understand what's going on?" Kim Jong-ming seemed a little helpless. "Let me tell you two like this, we need to make a Korean version of "Forrest Gump", or a Korean version of "Alive"! We can start from the theme of separated families in the north and south, from the ...... of resisting US aggression and aiding No, the one that started with the 6.25 War, and then has been filmed until now, echoing with family reunions, showing the life of an ordinary Korean man with family affection as the core!"
"It's not...... Representative. Li Zaibin, who was sitting with his back straight, frowned as if he were something. Of course I understand this meaning, but this concept of observing the changes of the entire era from the perspective of small people is too broad, and the theme of family affection is of course no problem, but just like the non-stop running that represents Forrest Gump's positivity, and the shadow puppet play in "Alive" that represents the resilience of survival, there must be something symbolic to connect the theme behind it with the times, right? And this person's life has to have some certain tones, is it positive or sad?"
"Ahh Jin Zhongming seemed to react at this time. "The representation of the inner theme of tandem is very simple, I have already thought of it, that is, expatriate labor, while looking for separated family members and constantly working in expatriates to support the existing family, from Vietnam to Germany, this can try to connect some things together...... Actually, it doesn't matter, let me tell you straight, the only thing worth noting is that when talking about the Park Chung-hee era, we must give up some negative things appropriately, especially highlight his achievements and tell about the development of South Korea...... For example, the miracle of the Han River, for example...... That is, the miracle of the Han River. Got it?"
Li Zaibin glanced at his boss thoughtfully, and everyone else in the conference room reacted at once.
"Don't look at me like that. Jin Zhongming had no scruples. "This is the political assignment I got yesterday at the Blue House, and I can't turn it away from the basic bargaining chips in exchange for the goodwill of the new president...... Therefore, since it is to show that the overall social economy is progressing and developing, then the protagonist's life should also be a life of fatigue and satisfaction, a typical responsible patriarchal attitude, let me say it bluntly, the tone is bright. β
"Understood. After being silent for a while, Li Zaibin nodded solemnly. "With the representation of the inner theme and the series, with the tone and basic stance of the film, it is still easy to establish the structure of this kind of play, and I will let people write the script when I go back......"
"Also, since it is a miracle of the Han River, it must be indispensable for the chaebols. Jin Zhongming thought for a moment and continued to add. "For them, we have to set up a model of positive and negative...... Didn't Boss Han Jin make a fortune from the death of the Vietnamese War? From this angle, he hacked him fiercely, and put all those messy chaebol jokes on his head, and he could abandon any iron shoes or employees. And a particularly important point is that whether it is 6.25 or the Vietnam War, there is only one attitude towards war, that is, to focus on describing the harm of war to ordinary people, don't take sides on this issue, don't take a stand, the protagonist is a small person, just oppose the war from the perspective of human nature...... Then don't forget to take the plot of Boss Hanjin to show the other chaebols, and tell them that whoever gives more money will be the representative of the positive Korean dream, otherwise Boss Hanjin will be replaced with the name of their founder!"
"Hey. Li Zaibin swallowed his saliva, and the others looked at Jin Zhongming's eyes with a little panic.
"Of course...... Samsung don't go. Jin Zhongming glanced at Li Meijing, who had been stunned today, and then remembered that Li Bingzhe was also this grandfather and Li Zaibin's cousin.
"Thank you for representing ......"
"However, who will play this movie, Zhong Ming, will you play it?" Zhang Enhyuk, who had not spoken, suddenly interjected.
"No. Jin Zhongming's head shook like a buleng drum. "I'm not a director, I'm not a producer...... How could someone like me make such a sycophant movie?"
The crowd was speechless for a while.
"But there's no need to rush there. Jin Zhongming thought for a moment. "Start with the script, take it seriously, and give me a picture of him for a year or two...... Got it?"
"Understood!" Li Zaibin said suddenly. "I promise a lot of fanfare, but at the same time it's slow, and if you really rush it, you can get on the horse right away!"
"Very good!" Kim Jong Ming said with admiration.
"One more thing. Lee Jae-bin continued. "You asked director Lee Jun-ik to come to me, that is, about the movie "So Won", ......"
"Unconditional priority. β
"Oh, I see. There is also NE......" Lee Jae-bin wanted to speak and stopped.
"What?" Jin Zhongming didn't understand for a while.
"There's also the Ne thing. Li Zaibin looked back at the middle level of the cube who was working with his head bowed around him, although he couldn't hide from the ears of these people, he still instinctively lowered his voice slightly. "The group of people in Ne Company were originally rebels from major film production companies, and everyone's attitude was a little subtle from the beginning. And for a while, the industry obviously feels that this company is going to rise, and they seem to have grasped the rhythm of the market one step earlier than others......
"Getting to the point. β
"Recently, someone has been in tandem, and it seems that they are preparing to join the nine major film production companies to engage in a wave of NE companies, and if you want to engage each other, the theater chain is in our hands, and it is easy to ......"
"President Lee. Without waiting for the other party to finish speaking, Jin Zhongming sighed slightly, took off his glasses and put them on the table. "The rise of NE is the trend of the times...... Why? Because people are originally a collection of young Zhuang filmmakers from major companies, unless they themselves are degenerate, it is a matter of course to grasp the pulse of the market, just because this is to engage others?"
Lee Jae-bin wisely shut his mouth.
"There's a movie actor in China that I really like. Kim put on his black-rimmed glasses again and looked around. "He has a very good saying, and I will give it to you today...... This era will not prevent you from shining yourself, but you will not cover anyone's brilliance!
The crowd was immediately stunned.
"President Lee. β
"Hey. β
"I'll just tell you directly, my attitude is very resolute - people mix a bowl of rice in this circle with their ability, why do we smash other people's pots for no reason?" Jin Zhongming asked calmly.
The faces of the people around him were complicated, some admired, some were stunned, and some were unfazed, but on the whole, they all exuded a sense of relief and peace of mind...... Not to mention anything else, in the face of Jin Zhongming, how can they not be afraid of being smashed for no reason by shining too much? But if the other party can be so calm in the face of the outbreak of an unrelated company like NE, what are they worried about?
"You're right. Li Zaibin also breathed a sigh of relief.
"And one step further. Jin Zhongming suddenly laughed again. "We have cinemas, we are the superiors, we are the reapers, isn't what we should do is to protect the health and vitality of this market? Isn't it a good thing that there is a new force like NE that leads the trend and stirs up the market?"
The people around also echoed and smiled, the reason is as simple as that, all the interests of the film market must be divided here in the theater chain, almost the entire Korean film can be said to be working for Kim Jong-myung, and it is of course a good thing that the production department is energetic.
In fact, Kim Jong-myeong's two major cinema chains, CGV and Mega, not only firmly control the market in South Korea, but also expand rapidly throughout Asia...... The political environment changes three times a day, and the Korean Wave can encounter Korean restrictions in Japan, and it is undoubtedly the next policy to make money with politically charged cultural products, but it is the best policy to invest in related upstream and downstream industries with the confluence of local capital, otherwise Jin Zhongming will not attach so much importance to Bona's attitude towards the fat man, what he wants is to merge with Bona, so as to expand unhindered in China's earth-shaking film market.
"Who is the one who started this?" After everyone laughed, Jin Zhongming's face did not change, but he casually opened a report at hand.
βlotteβ¦β¦β
"Lotte?" Kim Jong Ming said with a smile as he read the report. "I remember that they did set up a film production company in order to cooperate with the theater chain, but unfortunately they couldn't get up to ......"
"That's right. β
"him!" Jin Zhongming suddenly closed the report in his hand. "Aren't they trying to make trouble? Then do it the other way around! You and Representative Kim Young-seok will also go in tandem and smash this hairy claw that Lotte has reached out for me!"
"Understood!" Lee Jae-bin immediately got up and didn't stay any longer, and Kim Young-suk, who didn't have time to report a word, also hurriedly left.
There was silence in the conference room again.
"Who's next?" Jin Zhongming asked disapprehantly.
"The tara, Davichi...... There is also the work arrangement of apink. Su Xiaoya, who was sitting behind Jin Zhongming, was stunned for a moment, and then said three names, in fact, it should be tara and Davichi in order, but this Jin Zhongming's housekeeper probably instinctively gave a partial reminder after seeing the apink behind.
"Come on in. Jin Zhongming was stunned for a moment, and then immediately nodded. "There happens to be a project that TARA-APINK shares in common...... Let them listen to it. β
Kim Kwang-so, who had been smiling and sitting on the side, immediately jumped his eyelids, you know, whether it was Davichi's new album or Tara's Japanese debut song before today's meeting, he was still in charge of reviewing the work of these two groups. In fact, after seeing Hong Shengcheng's scene just now, he still wanted to declare his control over these two combinations to the cube...... But how did a joint project of Tara and Apink pop up now, and I didn't know about it?
Of course, his mind was turning, and Kim Kwang-so didn't show much, especially important people such as Li Meijing, the old boss of the former MNET, were still here, and he had to be even more calm.
In this way, the three groups came in together with strange faces, and Kim Kwang-so and Choi Jin-ho excused themselves for a while, and then they also started to arrange work for Davichi and Tara...... It's all a plan that has been arranged a long time ago, and the specific content doesn't need to be repeated, but Kim Kwang-so is still frightened, for fear that after he finishes reading, Kim Jong-ming will say, 'Forget this', or 'It's better to do this', then he will lose face.
However, this kind of thing did not happen, and even in the news that Choi Jin-ho announced the return of apink to take over Beast in the middle of the year, Kim Jong-ming still did not interject.
So, after the work was arranged, the two looked at Jin Zhongming, who was sitting in the middle and pretended to look up at the ceiling as soon as the three groups came in.
"Which two people are you referring to?" Unexpectedly, it was Luo Yingshi, who had been sitting in the corner and chatting with Yin Zhiyuan, who had not been over for a short time. "Apine, that's Hatsulong, isn't it? But who is Tara?"
From Kim Kwang-so, Choi Jin-ho, to these idols, everyone is a little overwhelmed.
"How is Sister Zhaoyan?" Jin Zhongming finally lowered his head.
"Tell the truth. Luo Yingshi rubbed his fingers and replied seriously. "I don't know much about this ......"
"Let me put it this way, the reason why I chose Chu Long is not because she can cook, but because she has a lot of strength and can do rough work, and she should be a good hand at picking up a firewood knife and chopping firewood. Kim Jong-ming's words seemed inexplicable. "And I chose Sister Zhaoyan, not because she can cook or how, but because she has a very broken mouth and is always nagging and annoying......"
Although I don't know why, there are still people in the conference room who can't help but cover their mouths and laugh.
"That's a lot of fun. Luo Yingshi's eyes lit up. "Miss Chu Long went to do rough work, and then Miss Zhaoyan kept nagging?"
"It's just a statement. Jin Zhongming replied calmly. "These characteristics are just my thoughts for a while, the main thing is to let them play freely and pay attention to a realism...... And then add Baker, let Baker be a watchdog, three people and a dog, what do you think of this lineup?"
"It's worth a try!" Luo Yingshi nodded repeatedly. "I want to ask them, Park Chulong...... Uh, forget it, Miss Park So-yeon, have you watched "Youth Undefeated"?"
At this time, how could the people in the conference room not understand that Luo Yingshi was going to let Chu Long and Zhaoyan participate in a new variety show...... Obviously, Jin Zhongming's next work seems to have a point, he didn't make any movies, but chose a new variety show starring himself.
"Luo PD, do you want me and Chu Long to do farm work?" Zhao Yan asked with a strange face, obviously she was frightened by Jin Zhongming's sentence of 'pick up a firewood knife and chop firewood'.
"It's not. Luo Yingshi shook his head again and again. "How can you be asked to do that kind of thing? There is only one thing for you to do in this show, and that is to go to dinner......
"Food show?" Chu Long's eyes lit up slightly, and Pu Mei's eyes next to her were even brighter, but the latter immediately dimmed again, because this food show didn't belong to her Yin Erpu.
"There is no doubt about it. Luo Yingshi continued to nod.
"Then oppa...... just now" Although he was looking forward to it, Chu Long suddenly felt a little weak, because what Jin Zhongming and Luo Yingshi said just now was too scary.
"That's right, Luo PD, you also said that "Youth is Undefeated" ......" Zhaoyan also added with a weak heart.
"Rural food show!" Luo Yingshi replied calmly. "Take the time setting of "Youth Undefeated" to go to the countryside once a week, and then go to ...... Go to the countryside to forage for food...... Got it?"
"The three of us together?" Chu Long continued to ask curiously.
"Hey. Luo Yingshi's face still did not change. "Occasionally, if you encounter some ingredients that need to be processed, let Zhong Ming be responsible, and you will also have to help...... Got it, pure food show, the kind that enjoys life!"
At this moment, the other idols in the conference room are counted as one, and they all show a feeling of envy, some envy that they can go to the countryside to rest, some envy the new variety show that can be on Luo PD, some envy that they can eat, and some people envy ...... In short, Chu Long and Zhao Yan are basically happy, and things are roughly settled.
However, Kim Kwang-so's side breathed a sigh of relief and at the same time felt a hint of gloom...... It's a good thing that Kim Jong-ming didn't dismantle the stage, but Zhaoyan's selection made him feel a little more uneasy.
Things were arranged, and Lee Myung-han, the head of TVN, also stood up, as if he wanted to continue talking about the work he was responsible for, and the three groups of idols were also preparing to say goodbye to the company's top management.
But at this moment, a person broke in directly outside the door, and it was Jia Chao, who had been transferred from the position of APINK driver for a long time.
"Did you find it?" Jin Zhongming asked disapprerovingly.
Obviously, this Jin Zhongming's henchman was arranged by him to do some specific things, and since it was none of his business, others naturally wouldn't pay much attention to it, and the high-level executives pretended to look at some paperwork in their hands, and a group of idols and Jia Chao said hello and continued to push me and play outside.
"Found it. Jia Chaoqi replied panting while handing over something. "These materials were only delivered yesterday, and the person you explained to is neither high nor low, and it took us a lot of effort to find some key materials in the classification of Daewoo Shipbuilding......"
"Can I go to prison?" Jin Zhongming, whose face was as usual, suddenly asked a sentence that made the people around him tremble.
"It's mostly a bribery issue, and at most it's discredited. Jia Chao replied helplessly. "There should still be some foundation on the bank's side, but it needs professional accounting personnel to analyze it carefully to get it done......"
"Then let's lose our reputation first. Jin Zhongming flipped through the materials in his hand. "He's alone, neither the Chosun Ilbo nor the bank are vegetarians, so don't mess around for the time being...... You go in person, give this to the chief of the Blue House, and let him ......" As he spoke, the corner of Jin Zhongming's eyes swept to the back of the idol who was walking out quickly after hearing these conversations at the door, and after glancing at one of them, he paused slightly, but he temporarily changed his mind. "Let him hand it over to Prosecutor Xiao Li who tried to be in the limelight but didn't succeed in the Blue House yesterday...... Tell him, I want to see the speed!"
Hearing this, Li Juli felt her back tighten suddenly, and almost escaped from the conference room with Quan Baolan in front of her.
"Understood. Jia Chao took back the materials and immediately quit to do business.
There was silence in the room, and everyone was playing dead.
"Minister Lee Minghan. Jin Zhongming had no choice but to take the initiative to beckon. "Let's talk about the preparations for the second part, is it still an open casting?"
"Hey. Li Minghan seemed to have just come back to his senses, as if he was just in a daze just now. "It's still open to the public, it's best to be the kind of young artist who hasn't become popular, Zhong Ming, do you have any good suggestions?"
"I don't have any ideas. Kim Jong Ming glanced at Kim Kwang-so, who wanted to speak, and immediately told the other party to shut up. "The only thing is to stop looking for people from CUBE and not to give the industry the feeling of eating alone...... This kind of good opportunity to find new people is given to other companies as much as possible. β
"Well, those companies and stuff. Li Minghan hurriedly responded. "Everything is ready anyway......"
At this moment, Jin Zhongming, who didn't know what was going on and had settled most of the things, suddenly appeared in his mind...... This kind of thing, with the other party's kind of character, should come straight to the door, right?
ps: There are also book friend group 457160898, everyone add it.
In the afternoon and evening, I went to watch "Wolf Warrior 2" and "Three Lives and Three Worlds" one after another...... From my point of view, the former is really good, and the latter really doesn't look at it...... But judging from his wife's performance, she seems to feel that whether it is Liu Yifei or Wu Jing, appearance is justice...... I didn't understand her brain circuit.
