Chapter 342: New Order

As Jin Zhongming expected, Yuna came to the door again with confidence...... She is always so confident, even if the ratings of the last starring TV series drop to 4%, then she will be full of confidence in the next TV series, and to some extent, she can be regarded as a typical character who has repeatedly failed and fought repeatedly.

How can I say it? After more than ten years of repeated defeats and battles, maybe she will get an unprecedented privilege in the Korean entertainment industry, that is, she is regarded as a betrayal risk by the industry. As the name suggests, the TV series is really going to pounce, because Lin Yun'er is here, but all the audience will naturally nod their heads, with Lin Yun'er, and then stop mocking the rest of the crew!

If this is the case, our Lin actors' acting path may become wider and wider.

Well, let's go back to the present for the time being, Yuna doesn't know how wide her future drama will be at this time, she only knows that the phenomenal TV series please answer that the second part is going to start recruiting actors, and this wave does not limit any hard conditions such as Busan accent, so she didn't even have time to communicate with the company first, so she rushed over with her agent.

"I don't care about that. Without waiting for the other party to ask, Jin Zhongming, who was still busy or something, blocked the other party's mouth without hesitation. "This time, the matter of the TV series has been handed over to Minister Lee Minghan, and I won't even look at it......"

On this occasion, of course, Yun'er won't say much, but her eyes are full of contempt, which means obviously, no matter what, you can decide the role regardless of anything, right? It's just that there are too many people around, and I don't bother to dismiss your face.

"Actually...... It's almost no problem to arrange a role. Seeing that Lin Yun'er went to Li Minghan with confidence, someone next to her couldn't help but persuade her, but it was Li Youzhen, the screenwriter of the please answer series. "We can even set up a new character specifically based on her personality if we need to. ”

"That's not what it means. Jin Zhongming quickly shook his head and said. "I just don't want to get used to her. ”

Li Youzhen smiled and was noncommittal.

"But letting Sister Youzhen come over is indeed for the sake of casting. Kim Jong-ming changed his words, but returned to this topic. "I mean...... From the company level, there are some preferential treatment for candidates on the company's side. ”

In other words, this sentence is connected with Jin Zhongming's attitude towards Lin Yun'er just now, and it is really a bit contradictory when I hear it, but Li Youzhen reacted immediately after being stunned.

After all, this screenwriter has mixed from KBS TV to TVN, from variety shows to TV dramas, and some things are clear. Jin Zhongming's meaning is actually very simple, he doesn't open the back door to Yun'er because he is afraid that he will designate the role and he is afraid of causing trouble to the crew, but if it is biased from the company level, it will not cause trouble to the crew, the company is so big, the range of options is also very large, this role is not suitable, but the next person in the next role may not be improvised...... What the company or Li Xiuman expressed, that is not what she needs to consider.

Of course, even if he understood what the other party meant, in the face of such an interesting situation, Li Youzhen couldn't help but take the opportunity to quip: "Of course this is no problem, the only question is whether Miss Lin Yun'er can also enjoy this privilege?"

Unexpectedly, it was obviously a joke, but Jin Zhongming was slightly silent, and then thought about it seriously.

Li Youzhen was really surprised.

"Yuna...... Forget it this time. After a while, Jin Zhongming replied with some hesitation. "I'm afraid she'll ...... will not play well. ”

To tell the truth, it is the first time that Li Youzhen has heard such a bad excuse as 'afraid that others will not play well'. Of course, she also knew that there must be something else in this, but the other party didn't want to say it. So, the famous screenwriter who was born as a variety show writer immediately nodded, and wisely did not dwell on this topic more, and after the two continued to talk about some other things about the TV series, they also erased this matter.

Let's turn our perspective to the other side, and Yuna, who doesn't know anything about it, is still looking forward to it...... In fact, it's not just Yun'a, the whole afternoon, the cube company's building is very lively, a large number of idols and their agents are coming, and even people like Yun'er who don't care about it after hearing the news and run directly are not a few, this kind of scene is even more exaggerated than the first part of the please answer the recruitment! And Yuna is just one of them!

Why is this the case?

In fact, the logic in this is still very simple.

First of all, with the TVN brand and the success of the first part as examples, then people are happy to believe that these two dramas will also be phenomenal. And a phenomenal work means everything to artists and their economic companies!

That's right, it's everything!Popularity, honor, status...... And the real money that you can eventually turn into in the commercial market.

But how much can this real money reach? The specific number is hard to say, it depends on the fate, but a work like this does have the ability to send an artist who was unknown before to the top of the market in an instant, and some of the top people in the idol market in 12 years can reach nearly 10 billion won a year of commercial income...... Of course, this money is certainly not all idols, but how to divide it, how many advertising companies, how many idols, how many companies, and how many combinations? That's another topic. However, the only thing that can be determined is that if you can enter this ranks, the figure of tens of billions of economic benefits in that year is definitely not imaginary, after all, the top people have the fewest and the most to eat. And back to the present, the more important point is that judging from the previous TVN casting rules, they are basically fair and will not be biased because of your existing popularity and status...... To be honest, this is really remarkable, because it gives people a sense of possibility and hope.

Therefore, it is no wonder that as soon as Li Minghan made an announcement here, there was immediately a momentum of thousands of troops coming to break into the single-plank bridge.

Of course, Li Minghan will definitely not just pull the cube side to open a posture to directly who goes up and who is down, after surviving the initial period of surprise for a while, he immediately hid in the conference room, and then asked people to print out the basic settings of some of the main characters, let these people receive these materials in the economic company, and then let these people get out of the way...... What role do you want to apply for, and the TV station will talk in a few days!

So, although Yun'er can be so strong that she will go straight to Jin Zhongming as soon as she comes, the company's large forces retreat together.

Of course, this didn't dampen everyone's excitement in the slightest, because not to mention that everyone wanted to be the next Jung Eun-di or Seo In-guk, and more importantly, no one wanted to miss such a fair opportunity in front of them!

This is undoubtedly a good sign.

However, while this group of idols and their agent team are entering a state of euphoria, on the other hand, the real executives of the agency to which these artists belong are realizing something because of this incident.

Time passed for three days, and in a blink of an eye, it was the afternoon of the day before the public audition day announced by TVN.

Although it was not yet time to get off work, although there were still some projects at hand that needed to be approved, the company's president Kim Young-min couldn't sit still, he hesitated for a long time, but finally decided to put down his work and go downstairs to find the company's artist director and board chairman Lee so-man.

Along the way, the company's old building was too old and the corridors were too narrow, so in such a short distance, Kim Young-min heard a lot of interesting conversations.

"Is this really '94?"

"Definitely, this is my sister's clothes, I asked her for it!"

"Don't talk nonsense, I happened to be in college in 93, why don't I have an impression of this style?"

It's two of Yuli's assistants discussing costumes.

"We've just debuted at EXO, are we sure we can have a chance?"

"It should be no problem, according to the feeling of the previous work, there should be famous idols and powerful actors to lead the team, but the main characters will choose new faces instead......"

"New faces?"

"Yes, it's not necessarily a newcomer, but it may also be some artists who have fallen into a period of stagnation. ”

This is exo's agent asking SJ's broker.

"Actually, it's not necessarily idol, although Xu Renguo in the last part said that he was born as a singer, he had changed careers to become a standard actor at that time, right?"

"That's the case, but at least it has to be a failed actor, you Yunxi have been smooth sailing all these years, to be honest, I don't feel much hope...... It's Gao Yala, that girl has had no chance for three years since "Heading to the Earth" in 09, and she finally received two movies last year, but she lost all of them. ”

"That's right, even if you rush this company, you will also be biased towards Gao Yala, Yunxi is really difficult this time......"

It seems that Li Yunxi's agent is complaining to his colleagues? Do you think Li Yunxi has developed well in the past two years?

"I heard that the last time Xu Renguo was able to join was because of Lin Yun'er's recommendation?"

"Don't think about it, last time it was Yun'er herself who was not suitable, but this time she ran over as soon as she heard the news, and she wouldn't say much if she had that room to speak, it must be her role that is the most important. ”

"That's ...... too"

It's SHINEE's agent trying to go down some crooked paths.

"Is it just up to them?" knocked on Li Xiuman's office, and as soon as he entered the door, Kim Yingmin looked a little helpless. "It feels like there's a bit of agitation in the whole company. ”

"Everyone wants to make themselves or their idol the next Seo In-guk or Jung Eun-di, because once it happens, they can make huge profits themselves...... Do you think they will be agitated?" Li Xiuman, who was carefully reading some plan, seemed to be completely unimpressed, and did not even raise his head.

"That's not what I meant. Kim Young-min pulled out a chair and sat down weakly. "I mean, the whole company of artists is restless, but we're doing nothing at the company level, right?"

"Then what do you think we can do?" Li Xiuman was still looking at almost, and his face still did not fluctuate. "Do you go out and stop them from going to auditions? Or do you systematically organize and try to round out this TV series? Do you want to suppress some people and let them not go, and then come up with specific candidates and concentrate on helping these people fight for certain roles?"

Kim Young-min was speechless.

"I understand your state of mind. Li Xiuman suddenly loosened his tense expression and sneered. "The artists and their teams throughout the company are busy with one thing, and as the president, they can only drink coffee behind closed doors in the office, which is really unacceptable......

"It's a far cry from how we used to work. Kim Young-min replied gloomily. "In the past, even if it was a character in a Japanese drama, the company needed to come forward to play tricks, or even pay directly...... Then when the role is handed over to the artist, it is natural to tell them that this is the company's resource. And now, although I know that TVN is talking about fairness and justice, this feeling of being out of control is really bad. ”

"That's true. Li Xiuman also nodded: "I also have this feeling of being out of control." However, let's not talk about fairness and justice for the time being, have you thought about it carefully, why is there such a situation of getting out of control?"

"I did think about it a little. Kim Young-min replied. "First of all, of course, TVN has risen too fast. In just one year, it has forcibly squeezed out an equal position from the three major TV stations by continuously creating ratings myths on TV dramas and variety shows. But this speed is too fast, so whether we are the three major TV stations, it is still difficult to adapt to the three major to the big four, and we don't know how to deal with such a new player, but it is impossible to ignore the market share in the hands of the other party......"

"Well said, go ahead!"

"And then there's Jin Zhongming. Kim Young-min couldn't help but sigh. "In fact, no matter how big the market share of the TV station is, no matter how novel the system is, it is still a TV station, and the people in it are also those we are familiar with, and there is always a way to communicate...... But now it is clear that it is Kim Jong-ming himself who really controls the station. We can communicate and trade with others, but we can't even take out any bargaining chips with them, and we can't even sit in the position of communicating with each other on an equal footing! ”

"You can see that...... To be honest, I was pleasantly surprised. Li Xiuman finally put down the plan in his hand. "I actually think the same way, the dead knot of the matter lies in the place you said - Jin Zhongming is high, and everyone has no ability to change his mind, so he naturally seems helpless. Moreover, he has too many resources at his disposal, so we can only choose to follow his way when he says and does. At this point, Li Xiuman paused slightly. "To give you an inappropriate example, it's like the exit of the ancient king, and a holy decree comes down, and we are afraid that we have to passively obey this option. ”

"Exaggerated, right?" Kim retorted, almost instinctively.

"Not an exaggeration. Li Xiuman shook his head and said. "You just perceive his aftermath from this perspective, and as far as I know, what happened in the movie these days is called the real survival of relying on his breath......"

"Is something wrong?" asked Kim Young-min cautiously.

"I just learned from a few old Seoul classmates, and it seems that Lotte's film production subsidiary thinks that Ne has been too active lately, so it wants to connect with each other. I didn't think that as soon as the series started here, CJ Pictures suddenly jumped out and said that it was disrupting the market order by bullying the small with the big and the old by bullying the new, and then asked other film production companies to ban Lotte in turn!"

"Ban Le, Lotte?" Kim Young-min was dumbfounded. "Lotte has its own theater?!"

"If it doesn't have a theater, how can Jin Zhongming target it?" Li Xiuman sneered. And although Lotte has a big family, they only have one theater to rely on in the film industry. And Kim Jong Ming not only has double the theater chain, but also has been deeply involved in the entire industry for so long, from the relevant academic mouthpiece to the official film promotion committee, all of them are influenced by him, and he himself has a variety of industry associations, mutual rights committees and other power institutions, allowing him to penetrate deep into the industry...... In this case, how can Lotte be his opponent even if he is big?"

"Yes. Kim Young-min came back to his senses and nodded repeatedly. "It's like when the Zheng family broke up in civil strife, Samsung, which was gaining momentum, had to take the opportunity to enter the car market, but the cars it built could only be sold to employees...... A truth, where the foundation is, the power of nature is extraordinary. So, the outcome has already been decided so quickly?"

"Of course, it took three days, and it only took three days, and Kim Jong-ming didn't even show up, and the film production companies saw the wind and steered! Then the actors, directors, producers, investors, and even the officials went into battle together, and they knocked out Lotte's film production department at once...... I heard that Xin Donghao is already looking for someone to sell the company!"

"It's a lost car. Kim Yingmin complained a little speechlessly. "Hurry up and admit it, just stay in the theater chain, how good it is to collect money in a muffled voice, why try to challenge the other party's authority in the other party's territory?"

"Do you admit that it's someone else's territory?" Li Xiuman smiled. "Wasn't that an exaggeration?"

"Hah!" Kim Young-min laughed as well. "Actually, I now believe that the rumors on Kakao are true, and he is ...... in the Blue House."

"Does it mean anything if it's true or not?" Li Xiuman interrupted the other party with a quick remark. "Does the Blue House or the stadium stands make any difference to us? The key now is how do we deal with this new order that is becoming clearer and even more public...... The person who was regarded as a bear child by us back then is now walking all the way, as if he is already the top of Mount Tai!"

"You still have to go your own way. The smile on Kim Youngmin's face disappeared immediately. "Sign some actors and variety show MCs who can carry the whole work, whether it is Jiang Hudong or Zhang Dongjian, the purpose of our cooperation with them has never been for them themselves, but for them to build a stage for our idols. Because only when we can build a small ecology of our own, can we not become vassals of others...... Your previous strategy has always been right!"

"You can think so, it really makes me ...... Very gratifying. Li Xiuman couldn't help but laugh, but sighed secretly in his heart.

In other words, whether Taishan is at the top, his position in the council is unbreakable, or the age gradient between the two gradually appears, the other party finally has a relationship with himself from more opponents than collaborators, step by step to today's step of helping each other.

It's not easy, but it's a good thing anyway.

"I have to let Zhang Dongjian's group renew the contract as soon as possible......" Kim Yingmin suddenly stood up, obviously, he knew that Li Xiuman had received his message, so he was not ready to stay longer. "Although he himself has equity in it, he always feels a little uneasy if he doesn't solve this matter. ”

"Go ahead and do it. Li Xiuman smiled and nodded. "Be careful, don't be teased by Jin Zhongming, but you are played by a broken household......"

"Then I'll go first. Kim Young-min said no more and turned to leave.

However, seeing the CEO of his company leave, the smile on Li Xiuman's face dimmed with the sound of the door closing with a 'click'...... Of course, it's good that everyone can cooperate sincerely, but there are some things that are difficult to say even if they cooperate sincerely.

To be honest, Lee so-man's heart is far more complicated than Kim Young-min imagined...... In fact, just when the other party took the initiative to stand up and fully agree with his strategy, Li Xiuman, in turn, had serious doubts about his own strategy.

This kind of skepticism is not to say that there is anything wrong with this strategy, to be honest, what if it is wrong? In the company, almost all the artists are new types of experiments, the so-called successes and failures, and there are also half-dead, but the company's development is still in full swing...... Why? Because what I am afraid of doing is not failure, but I am afraid that one day I will lose the spirit to take the initiative to experiment.

But then again, Li Xiuman's suspicion at this moment actually comes from this deep depression...... I don't know when he began to feel more and more that there was something called aging in his body, or that exhaustion began to manifest its existence. This kind of thing made him easily accept Jin Yingmin's bowing, made him often feel a little powerless in the face of the development of the current situation, and made him have a sense of avoidance and submission from time to time in the face of Jin Zhongming's strength and vigorous energy.

Of course, maybe this thing will completely defeat him in the future, and it will also make him seem powerless at some times, but at this moment, this kind of thing can only show up for a while when Li Xiuman is alone......

Then, in a flash.

PS: It's not well written, it's not rewritten, it's still not satisfied...... The egg hurts. This transition chapter does get stuck.
