Chapter 387: Enlightenment

PS: Changed the name of the next chapter.

Neither of these statements is true. Kim Yong-sub replied calmly. Of course, the gift can't just be this single TV series, but it doesn't mean otherwise. ”

"I see. Jin Zhongming nodded slowly. "In other words, this TV series is part of the gift?"

"Sort of. Kim Yong-sub smiled slightly. To be precise, this TV series is a highly symbolic representation of this gift. ”

Jin Zhongming completely understood it now.

In other words, for the three major TV stations, although there will be at least three dramas and one weekend drama at the same time every week, and if you don't consider the follow-up ratings and market reactions, there seems to be no correlation and difference between these TV dramas...... But in reality, how can it really be a bowl of water just from the TV station?

Think about it, from the fame of the screenwriter and the quality of the script at the beginning, to the budget of the TV station for production investment and publicity investment, and finally the key cast lineup, and even the status of producers and producers in the TV station, in fact, every TV series will have significant hidden differences from the preparation stage.

Therefore, one of the four major TV series per week is destined to be put into more effort and ideas by the TV station, and in the whole year's cycle, it is also destined that one or two will be implanted by the TV station with 120,000 expectations at the beginning.

Then there is no doubt that the "You from the Star" in front of me should belong to this kind of TV series.

"Speaking of which, the tastes of the audience are becoming more and more difficult to understand. Kim Yong-sub seemed to be a little emotional. "The discorrelation between ratings and investment is also becoming more and more outrageous. In the final analysis, it is because of the word risk, according to the old way, then handsome men and beautiful women, then the second generation of chaebol and Cinderella, no matter how you say it, you can guarantee the bottom, it is not impossible to fight, but someone has to stand up and take responsibility for the risk. But when it comes to taking responsibility, tsk......"

Jin Zhongming nodded in agreement: "That's right, conservatism and radicalism are eternal themes, and the more big the family, the more conservative it tends to be, this is a matter of course, and now TVN's hurricane is used to complain about the incompetence of the three major TV stations, but in fact, if TVN is really this size, how can it be possible to innovate so many genres in variety shows and TV dramas without baggage?"

Kim Yong-sub nodded and didn't speak again.

"So what?" Jin Zhongming looked up and urged. "Minister Jin came to me to complain?"

"Hah!" Kim Yong-sub chuckled, and then couldn't help but shake his head. "What are you complaining about? I'm just a little reluctant to come to the end...... Representative Kim Jong-ming, since I have said this, I will also be blunt, from the new director of KBS being vacated, to MBC simply changing hands, plus the government's new cultural fund funding seems to have fallen into your hands...... Pei Yongjun can't say it's not your person, right? All in all, your strength is too much for us to fear!"

"So what?" Kim Jong Ming was unhurried.

"So we SBS people discussed it and decided to turn against us and surrender with Eli Lilly. At this point, Kim Yong-sub was quite self-deprecating. Although we SBS is one of the three major TV stations and is supervised by the government, we don't have as many bad things as the other two TV stations, so it's a lot easier to surrender. Actually, in most cases, I would have discussed with Minister Lee Nam-ki, who was in charge of public information, and then I could go and say hello to the council, and then I could make a final decision......"

"Chief Lee Nan-gi is back?" Kim Jong-ming interrupted slightly.

That's right, he said that he didn't want to be angry at the Blue House, and when he came back, he was still his press minister. Kim Yong-sub replied calmly. "Anyway, the two of us have roughly discussed it in the past two days, and I think you don't want to do any big annexation, and you don't have to make the whole circle bloody, no one is so boring, and you don't look like a crazy person......"

Jin Zhongming couldn't help but laugh: "Is the reputation already so bad?"

"But some things still have to be thought about the other way around," Kim Yong-sub didn't care about the other party's interjection, but continued to say. "If you think about it carefully, since you did this, it means that you should still have some ideas about the TV industry, and aside from the journalism industry that the political elites will never let go, what else is there in our industry that is worth your fight? It is nothing more than the fist commodity of the Korean Wave, and it is also Korean dramas and variety shows. After all, after the opening of the Chinese market, this business is indeed different from what it used to be, and the copyright of a variety show can feed half of the TV station, and a TV series that has formed a trend is enough to produce huge economic benefits......"

"So you decided to send it directly?"

"That's right. Kim Yong-sub gasped slightly. "Originally, most of our SBS variety shows went with you cube, and it was not bad for the business of this Korean drama. ”

"But if I had to say...... I'm just doing it, and I don't actually have any urgent thoughts about SBS's Korean dramas?" Kim Jong-ming stroked the script under his hand, and then gave a very abrupt sentence.

Kim Yong-sub's Adam's apple obviously shook with this sentence, but it immediately returned to normal: "That, that's okay, we have thought about this possibility before, but compared to something like being taken away by the prosecutor in court, or a situation where there is suddenly nothing after most of your life, how about taking the initiative? The weak must always have the consciousness of the weak...... Besides, from previous experience, you're not going to let us suffer too much, are you?"

Jin Zhongming finally grinned: "Minister Jin, we have known each other for many years, you tell me the truth, is the deterrent effect of MBC so great?"

"Depends on whom. Kim Yong-sub also laughed dryly. "For the middle and lower classes of TV stations, this matter is just a matter of gossip and a lively look, for ordinary people in front of computer and mobile phone screens, this matter may not be as attractive as a comic...... It's inevitable that the rabbit will die and the fox will be sad!"

"The rabbit dies and the fox is sad, and the thing hurts it. Kim Jong Ming seemed to be smiling. "I understand, since Minister Jin is so sincere, it seems a little ignorant for me to refuse. ”

Kim Yong-sub's face twitched unconsciously, but he quickly smiled: "After all, I think SBS and CUBE have always had a good tradition of cooperation, so please laugh at it!"

"It's fine. Jin Zhongming continued with a smile. "That's the general meaning, when the time comes, let's let the people below talk about the detailed rules, and in principle, it's on par with the variety show......"

Kim Yong-sub nodded repeatedly.

"But is there anything to say about this TV series alone?" Jin Zhongming picked up the script on the table and continued to ask. "Listen to Minister Kim, what do you mean to be a representative of the cooperation between the two sides?"

"That's right!" Kim Yong-sub came back to his senses and perked up slightly. "This script was very valued when I first started, after all, this screenwriter is a famous screenwriter who has actually been very fast in recent years. And there are some things that I have seen too much, and there are some doorways, we reviewed it carefully, and the more I read it, the more I feel that it is very right, and it is really a rare good script. First of all, the subject matter is novel, and the male protagonist is an alien......"

SBS's head office was at a constant pace with a script, while Kim Jong-myung, who was sitting behind his desk, nodded slowly while listening, of course he knew these advantages, because this work is a masterpiece of Korean dramas, and it is the best Korean drama in the next wave of Korean Wave export to China, there is no one.

The new bottle of aliens and superpowers contains the original classic love story of traditional Korean dramas, plus the rare correct three views and shackle-breaking characters in Korean dramas, and then there are constantly escalating novel plots and excellent lines, all of which are the charm of this TV series.

Of course, there are bound to be some hidden things behind the scenes, but they are logical and even ready to come out, such as big investment, dedicated production, a bright and blind cast lineup, crazy commercial sponsorship, etc......

"All in all. Kim Yong-sub concluded. "This drama is an important statement of our SBS to the market, Korean dramas, and today's cultural policies! At the same time, we also hope to use this drama to open a representative beginning for our two cooperation!"

Jin Zhongming nodded slowly: "I understand, don't worry, our CUBE will not lag behind, investment, business development, overseas publicity, especially in China, these will have a firm statement!"

"It's more than that. Kim Yong-sub suddenly moved his body on the sofa. "In terms of the lineup, we also wanted to reflect the closeness of the two families...... What do you think?"

Jin Zhongming was slightly stunned: "What, does Minister Jin still have any specific ideas about casting?"

"Yes, indeed. Kim Yong-sub took a deep breath. "Actually, it is not only the symbolic meaning of the cooperation between the two companies, but also the meaning of wanting to calm the field from the beginning...... I hope to use two phenomenal actors to lead this work. ”

"For example?" Kim Jong-ming quietly opened the script in his hand, and then slid his fingers over the names of Do Minjun and Cheon Song-yi.

"How about the heroine invite Ms. Jun Ji-hyun, who is the most famous in your company?" asked Kim Yong-sub tentatively.

"I think it's good. Jin Zhongming replied without hesitation. "Probably because her husband is a pseudo-second generation really Xiaokai, Jun Jixian's predecessor has become ambitious after marrying into a wealthy family, I just told her, I don't think I will dislike TV series. ”

"That's good. ”

"Where's the hero?" Kim Jong-ming narrowed his eyes and looked at each other.

Kim Yong-sub's eyes flickered.

At this moment, Jin Zhongming immediately understood, and he immediately nodded slightly to show his understanding, but then he groaned again for some reason, and he didn't answer for a long time. And Kim Yongxie's side knew something was wrong, so he didn't dare to speak anymore, so he just sat there quietly and waited for the other party to speak.

In this way, I don't know how long it has been, and the people outside the room are almost unable to find the nonsense of small talk, and only then did a slight sigh sound sounded in the office:

"This thing...... Forget it!"

"Yes!" Anyway, Kim Yong-sub quickly nodded first.

"People are valuable because they are self-aware, if I cooperate with Jun Ji-hyun's predecessors, I am afraid that I will not be able to enter the play, and if I can't enter the play, I am afraid that it will affect the quality of the TV series. Jin Zhongming explained helplessly. "As for changing to the heroine who suits me, let's be honest, it seems a little powerless again...... Okay, Minister Kim will sit down for a while, and I'll make a phone call to let you see the person, and be sure to show my sincerity and our attitude in this candidate. ”

"Then please. Kim Yong-sub hurriedly nodded again.

In this way, with the conversation between the two, fifteen minutes later, Bae Yongjun was sweating profusely and appeared in this office with his paralyzed disciple Kim so-hyun with a blank face.

"How?" Kim Jong Ming raised his hand and pointed at the facial paralysis behind Pei Yongjun.

"I see. Kim Yong-sub had already come to his senses. "This one is a good fit. ”

"yes. Jin Zhongming suddenly got up with a smile and said. "Xiuxian, although the coffee position has not yet arrived, but the past "The Great Hidden One" is the first idol movie, which belongs to the heat, plus young, handsome, good figure, and more importantly, superb acting skills, and can endure loneliness...... The so-called name is not there, but it has really returned!"

Kim Yong-sub nodded again and again, but there was not the slightest objection or strange outflow.

"It's ...... Is there a TV series?" no matter how stupid Bae Yongjun was, he also reacted at this time.

"Hey. Jin Zhongming replied calmly. As for cooperating with Jun Ji-hyun's seniors, although so-hyun is already experienced, this time it is obvious that she is promoting the juniors, so you must thank you in private. ”

"Did you hear that?" Bae Yongjun immediately looked back at his student.

"I must do my best in acting, and Jun Ji-hyun's predecessors will definitely have attitudes and expressions. Kim so-hyun, who also reacted, was still a little dazed, and there seemed to be some doubts in his eyes, but he quickly nodded and agreed under the teacher's urging.

"That's good. Kim Jong-ming nodded with satisfaction, Kim so-hyun is this benefit, he doesn't cause trouble or be reckless. "The matter is roughly settled, and you can discuss the specific situation yourself in the evening!"

As soon as these words came out, Kim Yong-sub, who had been sitting in the other party's office for a whole afternoon, immediately got up, and Bae Yong-jun, who had just come here and didn't even breathe, immediately took Kim so-hyun to say goodbye, and neither side dared to invite Kim Jong-ming to go with him to 'discuss the specific situation' and have dinner by the way.

But that's okay, it turns out that without the presence of this person who made SBS so jealous that he took the initiative to send money to the door, Bae Yongjun and Kim Yong-sub were still very open at night. Even in Kim so-hyun's opinion, his teacher's presumptuousness tonight already felt a little out of place.

"Teacher!" After the dinner, Kim so-hyun carefully helped Bae Yong-jun into the back seat of the other party's car, and then asked tentatively. "Shall we go to your house now?"

"Go to my house. Pei Yongjun waved his hand casually, signaling that he was fine.

Kim so-hyun breathed a sigh of relief, and then immediately went to the driver's seat and started the car.

"Didn't drink a sip of wine before?" After the car started, I don't know if I remembered the safety issue, Pei Blind suddenly asked.

"Hey. Kim so-hyun quickly replied. "I didn't even drink a sip of wine, and I thought I might have to send you back. ”

"Teacher...... Hmph!" Pei Yongjun, who was seven or eight points drunk on his face, suddenly sneered when he heard this. "What kind of teacher? Have you formally visited me, just like Mr. Kim Jong-ming did to Mr. An Shengji's predecessors?"

Kim so-hyun didn't say a word...... It's not that he's calm, but he really doesn't know how to reply at this time. At this time, it's more appropriate to pretend that the other party is drunk, right?

"The two of us are essentially the relationship between the boss and his artists. Although Kim so-hyun had already put back the stuffy gourd, the blind man still squinted his eyes and continued his drunken talk. "It's just that a shrewd boss must have a vision, and he must have a vision for the top, the bottom and the middle. On the top, we must see clearly who is the person who can hug our thighs; in the middle, we must clearly see who is a good business partner and who is a malicious business competitor; and on the other hand, we must see clearly who is our trump card employee. And then to these people who are really useful, especially those in the middle and below, to exert an appropriate emotional offensive...... For example, I say that we are teachers and students! For example, almost all artists call themselves teachers! These things are essentially the same. ”

Kim so-hyun still didn't know what to say, so he could only continue to pretend to be paralyzed.

"Speaking of which, I still remember the first time I saw you. Bae Yongjun held his forehead and continued to speak. "I can't remember which crew it was...... But I remember you had a headband with you that day, didn't you?"

"yes, it's hard for you to remember this. It was finally some light-hearted and harmless topics, and Kim so-hyun immediately breathed a sigh of relief. "That headband was actually forced, it got up late that day, and my hair was a little curly......" At this point, it may be that the other party's current state is not right, and he is not as depressed as usual, so Kim so-hyun thought for a while and finally added a word of laughter. "Why, didn't you take a fancy to me that day because I was so handsome in a headband?"

"That's not what I'm interested in. Pei Yongjun really laughed, it seems that he is indeed drunk, otherwise how could he be laughed at by such insincere cold jokes. "I was looking at the look in your eyes at the time. ”

"Really?"

"Yes!" replied the blind man proudly. "How old were you at the time? So that face looked very immature, but at the same time, your eyes looked very mature, so I immediately took a fancy to you as a person! I knew at that time that you must be a very good seedling, because the immature face and mature eyes can make an actor easily switch between roles of different ages. ”

"I see. Kim so-hyun continued to respond perfunctorily, saying that these 'blind people know jade' chicken soup, any person at the wine table can be pulled for an hour, and now he just wants to send the drunk teacher or the boss back as soon as possible.

Of course, the more important point is that the mature eyes appear on the faces of young people, and there is a great practical significance for a boss ....... Not caring about his student's thoughts at all, Pei Blind continued to pull it on his own. "When that's it, you have no foundation and you can still understand the world in general, which is amazing. Unlike some impetuous young artists, they have talent, talent and luck, but they are bound to cause trouble together, and when they meet some people who don't know how to be grateful, they will negotiate with the company without knowing whether they are alive or dead...... And as soon as I saw your eyes at that time, I knew that you were not this kind of person, you were a person who was destined to become a great thing, the real ...... of the younger generation Uh, the second!"

Pei Blind was chattering in the back, and because he drank too much and talked intermittently, the car was full of alcohol, which made Kim so-hyun in front of him go crazy, and with the other party's continuous speeches, he finally let go of the protective color that was paralyzed on weekdays, and couldn't help pouting. In other words, now he would rather have a few more drinks with Jun Ji-hyun and Jang Tae-yoo (the director of "You from the Star") just now, and save himself from suffering in this car.

"What, looking at you like this, do you think I'm annoying?" At this moment, coldly, Pei Yongjun poked his head out of the front seat.

"Nothing. Kim so-hyun, who was still thinking about it just now, suddenly felt a chill in his back.

"So, so-hyun. I don't know if it's an illusion, Pei Yongjun's tone on the back of the front seat suddenly became clear. "I say so much just to tell you that if you want to mix well and mix well in this Vanity Fair, talent is important, but if no one spreads out the venue for you and holds up a piece of the sky for you, then no matter how many ideas you have, no matter how good your talent is, it will be meaningless...... The biggest advantage of you is that you have the ability to do things and understand the harmlessness of humans and animals, so that everyone can accept you. Of course, the most important thing is to make the people above you feel at ease and be happy to let you survive under their wings. ”

"I will never forget the teacher's kindness in my life!" Kim so-hyun's heart moved slightly, he no longer dared to treat the other party as a drunk, and his tone was much more solemn.

"It's not that I ......," said Pei Blind, and lay back comfortably. "I've really given you a lot of support before...... Over the years, since the discovery of you, not to mention the regular training and packaging of various brokerage companies, they have specially found people to explain current political news to you, help you create a friendly public opinion environment, take you to visit contacts in TV stations, and give you the opportunity to find movies...... It's my credit, and it's also my credit when you say it's going to break the sky!"

"Yes!"

"What is it?" the blind man narrowed his eyes again. "But now, that's all in the past, and some things are still useful, but there are also many things that don't make sense to you anymore. People, after all, have to look forward. ”

"What do you mean, teacher?"

"I mean, you and I, it's not the same as it used to be. Pei Blind couldn't help but laugh. "Do you know why I'm so presumptuous tonight?"

Kim so-hyun was silent.

"I know, I know," Bae Yongjun laughed even louder. "It's a good habit to ask nothing if it's not your business...... However, I'm so happy today, so I'm going to tell you about it. ”

"You say!" Kim so-hyun quickly put on a smile. "I just listen. ”

"It's simple. Bae Yongjun exhaled a long breath, and then announced loudly in the car. "The reason why I'm so happy today is because I suddenly reacted, it turns out that I have become a lackey of Mr. Jin Zhongming!"

Kim so-hyun's smile instantly condensed on his face, and even the hand driving shook a little, but fortunately, his speed was slow, so he didn't have two lives in one car.

"Do you think I'm being sarcastic?" or venting?" said Bae Yongjun smiled and stared at the face in the rearview mirror.

"It's not...... Yes!" Kim so-hyun couldn't help but swallow.

"Then I'll tell you, you misunderstood. Pei Yongjun replied unceremoniously. "I'm sincere, I'm really happy to be his lackey!"

"No, teacher. Kim so-hyun swallowed nervously. "Isn't that a bit of a non-standard term? Even if you want to describe the complex relationship between you and him, you don't need to use the ...... of a lackey."

"In the world, only names and instruments cannot be dummies!" Pei Yongjun squinted his eyes and looked out of the window of the brightly lit car, and interrupted the other party's words. This is about the importance of fame. Conversely, if one person accepts a title from another person, it means that the two people already have a de facto affiliation...... It's like you and me before, you haven't worshipped a teacher, and I haven't been an apprentice, but what? You rely on my Pei Yongjun's name in this circle, follow my Pei Yongjun's path, and use my Pei Yongjun's connections, so in this case, when someone misleads the statement that you are my student...... After all, the age gap between you and me is there, and you say that you are a teacher and a student, but you can be generous to each other, so why don't you call Brother Yongjun? But in that case, why do we all default to the teacher-student statement that is more closely related, but more subordinate?"

"No, teacher. Kim so-hyun replied through gritted teeth. "Between the teacher and me...... There are indeed teachers and students, so I recognized this statement. ”

"That's right. Pei Yongjun continued disappreciatively. "I also have the reality of being a lackey for Jin Zhongming, so I will not care or even admit it happily. You see, now my company's business depends on him to take care of it, and he gave me the highest status in this society, that is, the position of the head of the creative economy promotion group, and now, even the people on the TV station know that I am his person, and they all know that using my students is the same thing as using his artists...... And more importantly, if it weren't for him, I would have the assets I have today, this social status, and this opportunity to sit on an equal footing with the head of the TV station? Who in South Korea doesn't know that I was a wage earner of these people back then, and if I look back, where are those people who were in my era now? So, if that's the case, who can say that I am not his lackey? Can I say it myself? Or why can't I say that I am his lackey?"

Kim so-hyun fell into silence again.

"Xiuxian, one last thing to teach you...... It's not a shame to be someone else's lackey, at least it's much better than being a student. At this point, Pei Blind lowered his voice. "So, seize this opportunity to perform well, and act well and soar to the sky. Also, don't call me teacher from now on, it's okay in public, after all, we rarely show up together, and I will agree to call Brother Yongjun in private. ”

"Yes...... Brother Yongjun. Kim so-hyun finally regained his composure and reverted back to his trademark facial paralysis expression.

"Hey, let's drive with peace of mind!" As he spoke, Pei Yongjun nodded, then squinted his eyes again, and the car disappeared into the night traffic.

And just as Bae was taking his last lesson, at the same time, somewhere in Gangnam, Seoul, Kim Jong-ming also parked his electric sports car under a high-end residential building. Seeing him appear, in the evening breeze, some reporters who were squatting instinctively wanted to get up and take pictures, but after seeing the people clearly, they generally gave up this idea. Jin Zhongming didn't pay much attention to this, he generously walked to the communication room downstairs of the residence, registered his name with the security guard, and then went straight to the girls' dorm upstairs.

In other words, Zheng Xiuyan snatched Baker...... It's time to get it back, I hope she comes to her senses.

PS: I originally stayed up late to write a chapter, how do you look at it...... It was rewritten again, but I was caught by the boss again at the meeting on Thursday, and I spent two consecutive nights in the laboratory, and I was at a loss until now.
