Chapter 119: A Sudden Meeting
Li Yiming arrived in South Korea for the second day. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info
The new company is about to be established, and although he does not plan to do too much in South Korea, he still plans to sign the contract into the company - even if he does not participate in any activities, it can play a great role in publicity, and the presence and attendance of the company to attend meetings will not arouse too much suspicion and avoid being discovered as the founder.
The day of the establishment of the new company is almost around the time when he returned to the United States to play the regular season, but even if Li Yiming does not show up, the impact is not great, frankly speaking, he only mentioned the idea of becoming a brokerage company, and Wang Xiaoming was busy with the follow-up specific operations.
The first is that Li Yiming has no experience in this area at all, and the second is his absolute belief in Wang Xiaoming. If the other party's identity really has an attempt on Li Yiming, he has no room to resist at all, compared to completing the task as Li Yiming's subordinate, it seems that he is really interested in this piece, and he is busy outside for three days, and even after signing a contract with Li Yiming and the Mavericks that day, Wang Xiaoming immediately returned to South Korea to continue to be busy with the new company.
Although the specific process between them is not clear, listening to Wang Xiaoming's report, Li Yiming can still feel that he really intends to do a good job of the brokerage company's ambition - directly acquired two brokerage companies, and the "dream-tea" where girl's.day is located is among them.
The other agency is "Pledis", which Li Yiming is not familiar with, but Wang Xiaoming said that this company is not small, far larger than dream-tea, not only has several groups of artists who have already debuted, but also has a complete reserve of trainees, enough to launch another girl group - they only launched a large 13-member boy group "seventeen" this year.
This is the ontology of the Future that Wang Xiaoming intends to establish, and the rest of the investment he has placed in other brokerage companies, although it accounts for a lot of shares, but it is not to the extent that it can be merged in, and it is more to facilitate cross-agency cooperation between brokerage companies and expand the scale of the company in the future.
The new company is currently only focusing on the music market, and the acting direction is only planning to sign Kim So-hyun for the time being - that will also be next year, and Kim So-hyun's contract with sidus-HQ will not end until next year.
It is worth mentioning that Kim So-hyun's sidus-HQ is actually a staggering brokerage company, with countless artists, as it is often said that the three major brokerage companies in South Korea: S.M, YG, and JYP, whose status is in jeopardy, but when discussing the strength ranking of these brokerage companies, sidus-HQ is never counted in the scope of discussion, because the strength is not an order of magnitude at all, the latter can be regarded as a "monster" level brokerage company, and only CJ-E&M can be compared to it.
sidus-HQ's strength is indeed strong, but it is also a fact that there are too many artists under it, although Kim So-hyun is backed by a big tree, compared with actors from other brokerage companies, there are not too many advantages from the company, and the internal competition within the company is very fierce - the new little actress transformed by Korean child stars, the three "golds" that are praised: Kim Yu-jung, Kim Sae-ron, Kim So-hyun, she and Kim Yu-jung are in the same company, although the style is not too similar, but as actors of similar age, it is still inevitable to compete.
Kim So-hyun's acting skills are among the best among the new generation, but as an actor, not acting means everything, many times it depends on the actor's style, image and even media reviews, and when the script and director choose the role, they have to consider many things.
Kim So-hyun is facing such a dilemma in the company, a good script needs to compete with the seniors who are on the same stage in the company, and also compete with peers whose acting skills are not inferior too much, there are many actresses in the company who are suitable for her, and there are many roles that require young faces to be played in the company, although she is also very good, but there are still very few suitable scripts that can be obtained.
Of course, there are a lot of scripts that come to the door, but most of them are for the huge popularity she gained after exposing her relationship with Li Yiming, and the quality is of course worrying.
After coming to Li Yiming's company, although there are fewer opportunities for cooperation with the previous company, Kim So-hyun will not only not weaken his competitiveness because of the small company, but will be stronger with the full support of "Future" when he strives for some roles with excellent scripts.
Not to mention things like treatment and sharing, as Lee Yiming's sister, Kim So-hyun can of course get the greatest preferential treatment in Future, which is unmatched by any brokerage company in the whole of South Korea.
As soon as Li Yiming got off the plane, his father, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, made a phone call.
"Got off the plane and whistled?"
"Just stepped on the soil of South Korea." Li Yiming smiled, as if he knew what his father on the other end of the phone was going to say, "Have you lunch, do you invite me or do I invite you?" ”
"Hey, the same." The voice from the phone did not have the feeling of a middle-aged person, similar to Li Yiming's voice, even brighter than him, and it sounded like a man who was only a few years older than Li Yiming at most.
In fact, perhaps because of his work in photography, Li Yiming's father has always had a very young attitude towards life, eating habits, dressing up, and acting style, this Mr. Joey always makes people feel younger than his son - this is also to blame that the latter lives too "old", less than twenty-five years old, but his diet is not good, he does not drink alcohol and rarely smoke, he never stays up late and his work and rest time is very regular, and his father is completely at two extremes.
"But you have to call the shots, I'm not familiar with this place."
Li Yiming nodded subconsciously, "Okay, I'll get on the bus right away, do you know the silkworm room?" We met around there. ”
He thought of the Korean restaurant that Gary had taken him to once, and it tasted really good.
By the way, it was Yu Dingyan and her parents who drove it... I just don't know if I can give her name a discount, Li Yiming touched his chin, obviously he is not short of money, but he even has to be careful about eating with his father.
Well, Li Yiming won't admit that he just wants to find a message from the hair to her.
"No problem."
"Okay." Li Yiming waited for the opposite side to hang up the phone, then put away the mobile phone, the steps under his feet have not stopped, at this moment he has arrived at the airport gate, the conspicuous off-road Mercedes-Benz is parked not far away, he grinned and showed a smile, and pulled the car door on the co-pilot.
Before the seat belt was fastened, the engine sound came from nothing, just in an instant, and the whole car was started in the next second.
The main driver's seat was naturally Wang Xiaoming, and he didn't look at Li Yiming much, just looked ahead and asked, "Where are you going, go back to Zhonglu District?" ”
"Go to the Silkworm Room." Li Yiming shook his head, "I just made an appointment with my dad for dinner." ”
"The scene is finished, and now I'm playing at a friend's house, do you want to call her along?"
"No need, wait until I take the two of them to my mother's, and then we will officially meet." Li Yiming was talking when the phone rang again.
Zheng Xiujing.
Seeing the name of the caller ID, Li Yiming couldn't help but smile, feeling that the sun was a little brighter near noon.
"Hey."
"oppa-" The energetic voice was enough to make people feel good. "Got off the plane?"
"I just got off, and now it's on my way back to Seoul." Li Yiming's voice habitually became gentle, "What about you, today Tuesday, you shouldn't have to sing, what are you busy with?" ”
"Rest today!" The tone was a little excited, "You must be hungry, why don't we meet for dinner?" ”
"Forehead ......" was originally a very happy thing, but Li Yiming looked embarrassed: "I just asked someone to have lunch together." ”
"What people!? Dazzling? Zheng Xiujing's questions immediately followed, "If not, who is the appointment, so urgent, just come back and make an appointment for dinner?"
"By the way, OPPA, yesterday you went to Los Angeles and was photographed with that Elizabeth Olsen, and it didn't seem like you meant to explain it to me... Hmph, when are you going to make it clear? ”
Li Yiming held his forehead, "Do you say it one by one?"
"It's not with Soxuan, it's with... Well, a friend!
"And with that Elizabeth... So what, I really have an appointment at noon, afternoon, how about the afternoon? We'll meet in the afternoon, and I'll make it clear to you. ”
"What friend, maybe I know?"
"Haha..."Li Yiming laughed dryly, "I promise you don't know." ”
"A very good friend?"
"Isn't it good?" Li Yiming tilted his head and looked strange, "It's very good, it's too good." ”
The other side was silent for a moment, and then said, "Why don't you go together, and I know your friends too?"
"Because I also want to bring someone to meet you, but she is only available at noon, and she will catch a flight to China in the afternoon."
Li Yiming was stunned, remembering his father's temper, and struggled for a while before nodding, "Okay, let's meet over there in the Jamsil, I'll make an appointment with that person to eat Korean food over there." ”
"Uh-huh!" The girl's voice was crisp, "See you or leave, oppa~"
Although he was embarrassed by the meeting to be met, Li Yiming still smiled, "See you or leave." ”
"Then I'll hang up first, and I'll get ready to go out."
"Hmm." Li Yiming hung up on the other side, and hurriedly called his father again, but he was connected after waiting for a while.
"Dad!" Li Yiming didn't wait for the other side to respond, and then said: "What, I have two friends who will also come, it's okay." ”
"It's okay!" Mr. Joey said dryly, his voice teasing, "What, male and female?" ”
"Female."
"Tsk......" Li Yiming was interrupted before he could speak, "Girlfriend?
"Or both? Yiming, yes!
"No wonder Lizzie said that no matter how much you try to keep it, you won't. It turns out that not only do they have new loves, but they are still two ......"
"Dad...... Not a girlfriend. Li Yiming wiped away the non-existent sweat on his forehead, "Can you be serious?" ”
"That's not a girlfriend, what's there to meet?"
"Uh... One is, and the other I haven't met either, and she's about to meet to introduce me. ”
"Okay." Li Yiming's father stopped laughing, "What's your little girlfriend's name, I only know that she is a singer, and I have never understood it carefully, and I don't even know what people look like, hurry up and search to find out, otherwise it will be embarrassing to recognize the wrong person later." ”
As a father, I don't even care about my son's girlfriend at all, am I really my own? Of course, this was just a complaint in Li Yiming's heart, and he just said helplessly: "You just need to know that your name is Xiujing, and I will introduce it when the time comes." ”
"Xiujing, what Xiujing?"
"Zheng Xiujing."
