Chapter 419: Heaven is going to kill me!
"It's done!" Late at night, Kim Young-min, who was waiting for news on the 4th floor of S.M Company, couldn't help but slap the table excitedly. "Are you sure?"
"Sure. A middle-aged man who looked very tired reported excitedly. "I asked the multimedia guy, he really didn't have any PR behavior!"
"We were stunned. Li Xiuman also smiled. "No problem, indeed. β
"Let's have a drink?" Kim Young-min was full of interest.
"It's okay!" Li Xiuman is also quite happy now. "Minister Han going with you?"
"Couldn't be more than happy. The extremely tired middle-aged man naturally had nothing to say.
In fact, they can't help but be so happy, because if Jiang Hudong hasn't reacted today, then it will be difficult for the other party to set off any real storms after the paper media comes out early tomorrow morning, because his reputation will be completely stinky by then. If you want to mix in the Korean entertainment industry, you don't have to have a particularly good reputation, but you must not have a bad reputation, because South Korea's national character is there, and they treat themselves more leniently than others...... Hehe, in short, Cui Zhen is watching you from the sky!
Back to the topic, what if Jiang Hudong can't get along in the entertainment industry?
First of all, that chocolate alien company will not be able to survive, and the contract of people such as Shin Dongye is a huge fortune, not to mention the priority negotiation right of Yoo Jae-seok, who has agreed with Kim Jong-ming.
Secondly, Jiang Hudong and this company let go of the variety show market that is so big that it is a huge fortune, "Strong Heart", "Staking", "Knee Taoist", "Two Days and One Night", these things S.M company wants to swallow in one bite!
What's more, when I think that today is Sunday again, what amazing performance will "Birth of a Family Season 2" have after the collapse of "Two Days and One Night"?
It's not in vain that the company has spent so much money, so many resources, and so many favors!
However, after dawn, there was a little bit of a recursion, Jiang Hudong has so many programs, and he has also cultivated a lot of hardcore fans, and they gathered to form a website to speak for Jiang Hudong, claiming that this tax evasion incident was maliciously framed by S.M Company, which is fighting a lawsuit with his company...... That's basically true.
At the beginning, the 800,000 immortal queens were all regarded as nothing by the S.M company, and this kind of behavior made the two bigwigs of the S.M company laugh in their hearts.
"Speaking of 21 fans all over the country...... And one last thing. Kim Young-min suddenly thought of something.
"yes. Li Xiuman laughed dryly. "A trip to Antarctica. β
"However, a variety show special still can't make any waves, right?" Kim Young-min thought of Kim Jong-myeong's hint that he could solve the trip to Antarctica. "Do you need to be treated specifically?" or...... Let's talk to Lee Byung-soon?"
"Try it!" Li Xiuman nodded. "If you're not afraid of 10,000, you're afraid of what if...... Let's test the production rights of "Two Days and One Night" after Jiang Hudong leaves, right?"
Kim Young-min nodded vigorously.
So, Kim Young-min was kicked out of the office in public by Lee Byung-soon that afternoon.
Just kidding! I don't know who you Kim Young-min are? Or do you not know who I am? Since the upper-level line is naturally opposed, then we don't have the soil for in-depth cooperation, okay? You say let me help, just help? I, the president of KBS TV, didn't find a chance to you S.M. One vote is already self-sacrificing for the sake of the harmonious coexistence of the entertainment industry, and you still ask me for help?
was slapped in public, but Kim Young-min was not angry, although Lee Byung-soon's attitude made him miss "Two Days and One Night", and also made him feel a little uneasy that Jiang Hudong still had a glimmer of life. However, as Lee Byung-soon said, the natural ass of people and S.M Company is not the right way, and it is good to be able to coexist in harmony, although these situations are annoying, but they are not unacceptable......
However, after the evening, with the delivery of the ratings of the two Sunday prime-time programs, Kim Young-min and Lee so-man finally cast a real shadow on their hearts.
"Two Days and One Night" did not have the kind of decline as imagined, but it fell below 30% for the first time in more than half a year, although the decline was obvious, it was still the crushing ratings champion in the same period, which greatly enhanced their vigilance for the show's trip to Antarctica.
However, what puzzled the two industry bigwigs the most was actually the second episode of "The Birth of a Family Season 2", which was obviously 20% of the first broadcast, although according to their analysis, there can be small fluctuations and stumbling, after all, a wild large-scale variety show has just begun, and Wuxuan and 21 have had various problems. But it shouldn't be 15% anyway, right?
What went wrong?
"We still need more professional variety artists as the backbone!" Li Xiuman explained so matter-of-factly. "Jin Xiyuan is used to being an indoor host, wild variety shows are like talk shows, she can't be funny at all, and there are many people on the Internet who criticize her like this, so she should try to let Yuna and their young idols give full play to their youthful vitality......"
Kim Hee-won has been Yoo Jae-seok's partner in "Let's Play" for many years, and she was asked to be the main MC of the second season in order to appease Yoo Jae-seok or simply to gag him, so now it seems quite reasonable......
But no matter what, this doesn't seem to have anything to do with the overall situation, 15% then 15%, let's put the perspective on Jiang Hudong, because compared to Li Xiuman's two people who felt like they had eaten flies before the feast started because of the drop in ratings, Jiang Hudong seemed to have to choose to hang himself on a tree.
"I only have one way to go right now. Jiang Hudong muttered an explanation. "For this trip to Antarctica, I have recorded enough other programs, and the trip to Antarctica is a very good ...... This stuff started in March and will take more than a month when I get back......"
Before he finished speaking, a few henchmen next to him already understood what he meant, the trip to Antarctica was not only an attempt to save "Two Days and One Night", but also a good itinerary to avoid the limelight...... The people will find out that Kang Ho-dong is just a 'tax evasion' of less than 500 million won, and even the court will not accept such a small incident......! Is it time to bring the dead back to life?
However, is this really good? Don't think about responding positively to the overwhelming accusations, and blindly thinking about relying on evasive means, this is not right in itself, right? Some people are ready to leave when they think of this, because they feel that Jiang Hudong is still so naΓ―ve until this point, then it is no longer worth following, and he does not understand the so-called blow of public opinion to an artist.
In the following days, this tide of public opinion really became more and more intense, and if it were not for the people who were in the center of the incident, they would never have realized the murderous power of this soft knife. Among them, there are large-scale people and clouds, as well as professional anti, and even those former Jiang Hudong's hardcore who in turn spread rumors and spread false information, because for these people who once trusted Jiang Hudong and said good things about him everywhere, they have always thought that Jiang Hudong is 'betraying' them......
Soon, Jiang Hudong, who was waiting for boredom, felt this pressure across the board, and he now found that with the collapse of his prestige and reputation, it was not only the expected ratings pressure on the show itself, but also the various derivative pressures that followed, and this pressure spread throughout his entire life.
First of all, there was a drastic change in his status in the workplace, and those who had previously held him, praised him, and praised him suddenly stopped knowing him overnight; those television station personnel who had always spoken politely and respectfully respected his opinions suddenly became serious and more serious; those who had been suppressed by him and bullied by him also seemed to want to seek revenge, and more than one person accused him of various acts on talk shows. There will definitely be no shortage of this kind of thing, think about MC Meng's forced commercial performance, think about Kim Jong Kook's kneeling, people take the opportunity to ask for an explanation, how to think about how to be a normal reaction, right?
Secondly, these things have affected his private business. Almost soon, the rumors immediately rolled up to his barbecue restaurant, and the real problem about Jiang Hudong was actually the rumor that the barbecue restaurant was suspected of laundering money for Japanese gangsters. What made Jiang Hudong feel even more sad and indignant was that the Investigation Bureau of the National Tax Bureau, which was obviously instructed, really came to investigate the barbecue restaurant that had nothing to do with it, and the reason is also very good, we are investigating your capital chain, not to mention that there is no private capital exchange in your barbecue restaurant. But this scene is another thing in the eyes of the media and the public, so the business of the store plummeted, almost to the point of losing money.
In the end, there is the betrayal of those who have real interests. Not to mention the pretending to be deaf and dumb of the Chocolate Alien Company and who the ghost in this incident was, he didn't have the heart to ask. In fact, Jiang Hudong's personal business is very large, and he still has a lot of shares in a well-known restaurant chain, and now, the people of that company have repeatedly urged him to let him go to the shareholders' meeting to explain...... That means obviously, you used to have a halo on you, and it was good for us to hold shares, but now you still have a halo on you, but it's just a negative effect, so we want you to hand over the shares and get out!
However, what really made Jiang Hudong feel desperate was the constant feeling of helplessness. You know, he has become famous since he was an athlete, and the name of the world's heroes was already famous in South Korea at that time, and he immediately became a celebrity after becoming an MC, and X-man became one of the recognized three major mountain ranges in the MC class, and he also won a big award after the three MCs separated, and became the first leader in the Korean variety show industry. I don't dare to say that there are friends all over the world, but I should at least have accumulated enough contacts and prestige in the media circle for so many years, right?
However, since the incident broke out, there are only three weighty people who really stood up and clearly expressed their willingness to believe in him Jiang Hudong, Li Jingkui, Liu Zaishi, and Kim Zhongming.
Lee Seung Gi, who was brought out by him and walked on the stage of a variety show, did not open a word.
It was only at this time that Jiang Hudong really understood the horror of the words "lonely", and only then did he reflect how much he had offended people by his strength and domineering in recent years. It's just a small thing when you're on top, but when you fall into the quagmire, people can refuse to pull you for this reason!
He has always felt that Liu Zaishi has been pressed by himself in the past few years, and he also feels incomprehensible to Jin Zhongming's expression of his 'awe' for Liu Zaishi in "Strong Heart".
After he returned, he would definitely learn from Liu Zaishi to be a man, not thinking about being the king and hegemon, and he would in turn suppress the ridiculous expansion of his company, and he would maintain a certain tacit understanding with Liu Zaishi...... But these things are just the delusions of Jiang Hudong, who is sitting at home and almost has gray hair.
In addition, Jiang Hudong actually did not give up the idea of saving everything from the trip to Antarctica, and he could leave immediately, go to hide for more than a month, go to Chile, go to Antarctica, where no one can scold himself!
This thought has been like the only life-saving straw supporting Jiang Hudong in the past few days.
On the morning of February 27th, it was another Saturday, and unlike a week ago, although he was anxious but obviously looked passable, Jiang Hudong was now a little obviously emaciated, but his mental state was unexpectedly very good. At the moment, he was seriously packing his bags at home, and the thought of hiding everything in Korea tonight made him feel a little as comfortable as the fresh air of a drowning man's breath.
His wife was going to help him clean up, but Jiang Hudong refused, he wanted to clean up in person, and carefully clean up according to the list provided by the program team. So, Jiang Hudong's wife could only stand aside with the child in her arms, watching her husband busy with a rare smile, and then really accompanied him to study whether the warm close-fitting padded jacket was better green or red...... In fact, Jiang Hudong has been packing up his things since four o'clock in the morning, and the children have already woken up and woken up to sleep, but the husband and wife are still seriously counting these things, the plane takes more than ten hours, sleeping on it is the main topic, and it is good for the two of them to talk a few more nonsense now.
"I'm afraid it's useless to bring this kind of thing to Antarctica, right?" At about three o'clock in the afternoon, Jiang Hudong was still packing up his things and discussing some meaningless things with his wife, such as the huge thermos cup in front of him. "To be honest, if you really go to Antarctica, you still rely on temporary procurement from Chile...... Customs does not necessarily allow ......"
"That's what I said. The wife smiled and comforted her. "Don't let Xiao Li take it home from the airport for you, now it's important for us to be prepared!"
"Makes sense, be prepared. Jiang Hudong laughed, and then prepared to tie the huge thermos cup to the outside of his backpack, so that he could take it off when the time came.
Just then, the phone rang.
"Wife, help me see, is it Luo Yingshi PD?" Jiang Hudong's tone sounded relaxed, but the hand holding the cup was shaking, and he put everything on this 'trip to Antarctica', which was almost like an escape.
"It's Luo Yingshi PD. Jiang Hudong's wife naturally understood her husband's thoughts, so she hurriedly went to get the mobile phone.
"Great!" Jiang Hudong breathed a sigh of relief. "I should have been notified of the gathering, although it was said that it was a plane at 11 o'clock in the evening, but there were so many people in the program team, I had to go to KBS to gather first...... Good weekend!"
"Good afternoon, Brother Hudong. Luo Yingshi's voice trembled a little, and the way he spoke was a little strange.
"Good afternoon, are you going to gather?" Jiang Hudong didn't think too much. "I've packed it all. β
"Brother Hudong, have you watched the news?" Luo Yingshi replied.
"How dare I go to the news?" Jiang Hudong had a bad premonition in his heart, and at the same time, he also laughed bitterly and teased himself. "I'm being beaten by everybody now, what's wrong? What's going on? Who gave me any name for my tribe? Don't you tell me to restrict my departure?"
"How is that possible?" Luo Yingshi's voice was extremely bitter. "It's international news, big event!"
"Don't tease me. Jiang Hudong was even more puzzled. "What's the big deal that we have to say now? Is there a war in South America? So we have to change the way? We'll have to wait two more days?"
"Much more serious than that. Luo Yingshi's tone was extremely low. "Brother Hudong, just now, there was a huge earthquake in Chile, which is close to the Antarctic side...... We can't go to Antarctica!"
Jiang Hudong was completely stunned, he didn't have time to hang up the phone, so he rushed directly to the bedroom and turned on the TV, but after reacting, he immediately went to other rooms to turn on the computer.
Sure enough, Luo Yingshi didn't lie to him, nor did he fool him.
"Husband!" Jiang Hudong's wife followed in confusion.
"This is the heavens that will kill me. This is retribution!" Jiang Hudong slumped in his chair and said with a smile. "I'm usually too arrogant, it's time to reflect on myself!"
"Husband!"
"Leave me alone, I actually feel that I am actually very relaxed now!" Jiang Hudong said as he spoke, and suddenly tears fell. "That's a good thing!"
At 15:34 on February 27, Seoul time, a massive earthquake with a magnitude of 8.8 on the Richter scale occurred in Chile, with the epicenter located 339 kilometers southwest of Santiago, the capital of Chile.
At 6 o'clock in the evening of the same day, the official website of KBS announced that the trip to Antarctica planned by the "Two Days and One Night" program team for nearly three months was completely canceled due to the earthquake, and all the staff of KBS TV were praying for the people in the disaster area in Chile.
At 8 o'clock that night, Jiang Hudong announced through his agency that he would hold a press conference at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning at the Seoul Garden Hotel, at which time he would personally attend and explain and explain the recent tax evasion rumors, and hoped to take this opportunity to apologize to the public and show his personal introspection.
