521 Another World (Part II)
Compared with language and action, it is often better to express people's purposes, and at the same time to express and gain the trust of the other party, reasonable and effective action is very necessary, after 20 years of ups and downs in the Korean entertainment industry, if there is no half-hearted city, then today's national MC Liu Zaishi will not exist, in fact, the so-called scheming city is just a more effective way to do things, bringing people a good feeling or a bad feeling, mainly depends on the purpose of the person who acts.
There is no doubt that Yoo Jae-seok's purpose is to refuse, Shinhan's goal is too big and his ambition is too big, which is not suitable for Yoo Jae-seok, who now has a son, if it is just a normal program invitation with Han Weiyi and Lee Hyo-ri, he will not refuse, Shinhan is generous, not to mention, the protection and guarantee of artists in production are rare in the circle, but Lin Weiran is here in person, and the situation has changed.
"How's it going, aren't you in a hurry to see this?" Liu Zaishi asked while looking inside, although the baby on each bed is almost the same, but only the only one can attract his attention, this kind of family happiness and the joy of being a new father can not be felt by others, to some extent, this is Liu Zaishi showing off to Lin Weiran.
Noticing the strangeness in Han Weiyi's expression through the reflection on the glass, Liu Zaishi then quipped: "If you are not in a hurry, but someone is in a hurry." ”
Han Weiyi frowned slightly, the whole person was relieved from the strange state of being surrounded by warmth, of course she knew that Liu Zaishi was talking about her, and of course she knew that Liu Zaishi was in a hurry, which implied that she was in a hurry, she glanced at Lin Weiran a little panicked, and what fell in her eyes was the broad back of the man i, walking in here with him and then seeing the strange world on the other side of the glass. As a woman who likes him, it is impossible not to change her mood. The distance of reason is sometimes like this in the face of sensibility, and the line of defense is vulnerable. With just one picture, it can be destroyed like a withering and decaying. Fortunately, Lin Weiran didn't turn around to look at her, he still looked at the other end of the glass, as if he was in a trance, Han Weiyi immediately glared at Liu Zaishi, still so powerful, but in the eyes of this nagging man, there was not much lethality, for no other reason, just because Han Weiyi's face was already flushed with ruddy at this time, and the style revealed here. Evil is tempting.
"It's a bit of a hurry." Lin Weiran was still looking at the side of the glass, her eyes unblinking.
"Ha Luha, it's good to be in a hurry." Liu Zaishi looked back while smiling, as an insider of Han Weiyi and Lin Weiran's scandal, he didn't need to have any expression, just his eyes could make this powerful little girl bow down.
"I'm not in a hurry for this, and it may be a bit embarrassing to say it." Lin Weiran finally looked away, he looked at Liu Zaishi, and there was a helpless smile on the corner of his mouth. "I'm thinking about what kind of crib they'll sleep in, what kind of milk powder they'll eat, and what kind of kindergarten they'll go to when they grow up. How much time do you spend with your parents, when you go to elementary school, is your study next to the Han River or do you have to share a room with your siblings, and will you learn badly when you are in middle school? When you are in high school, will you be bullied by other children, and what kind of college will you go to? Whether you can adapt to life, and what kind of woman you are dating with. What kind of wife to marry. ”
Liu Zaishi opened his mouth, and he couldn't give full play to the ability of the famous mouth, so he just sighed: "Weiran, it's better not to let yourself be too tired sometimes." ”
Lin Weiran shook his head: "I'm not tired, I just feel that there are a lot of things to do, but there is little time, and there are fewer opportunities, I also want to stop occasionally to see the scenery, but I'm really in a hurry, I didn't think about it before, I had a day like my brother, but now I have to think about it, so I'm even more anxious." ”
Of course, Liu Zaishi has nothing to say to such a Lin Weiran, there is no communication, and the conversation will naturally fall into some kind of embarrassing atmosphere, as the third person present, Han Weiyi of course wants to ease the atmosphere, but before she can speak, Lin Weiran made a move that made her and Liu Zaishi speechless.
He took off his wig, revealing his short, stubble-like hair, which looked a little funny and ugly: "I can't say that I look like this for a girl whose time is short, but I can say that I learned something from her, she only had eighteen months to live before agreeing to the operation, and the reason she refused the operation was not because she wanted to die, but because she wanted to survive." Brother, she wants to live the remaining eighteen months as her whole life, instead of choosing the 50% possibility of dying on the operating table, after meeting her, I realized that life is really short, when I want to do, what I want to do is not to enjoy those beautiful things now, I must take my responsibility, let the people I love to enjoy these things, for me, this is survival. ”
The heavy atmosphere revealed in the conversation was beyond Liu Zaishi's imagination, in fact, he wanted Lin Weiran to see him immersed in the joy of family, he didn't expect Lin Weiran to have such a heavy thought, or to let him have such a heavy attitude, which made his refusal begin to be unspeakable.
He wanted to say something, but Han Weiyi took a step forward quietly, as if to remind him that it was not a good choice to continue this topic.
Liu Zaishi stopped talking, glanced at his son on the other side of the glass, and asked, "What do you need me to do?" ”
Lin Weiran kept smiling: "Shinhan plans to set up its own economic planning agency, which will be a relatively loose and free structure, like a personal studio under the name of Shinhan. ”
Liu Zaishi frowned slightly: "Sooner or later, this will become large-scale and systematic, right?" ”
Lin Weiran nodded, and did not deny it: "But there should be a long time before this day, about two to three years?" ”
Liu Zaishi thought for a while, and after a while: "Who promised to go to you?" ”
"Some of them are in contact, and the only ones who have explicitly agreed are Lee Hyo-ri and Ko Hyun-jeong, and this agency will have a performance group under it, and it will merge with Shinhan Productions in the future, in addition to Han Weiyi as the president, I hope that my brother can serve as the honorary chairman of the company, and if necessary, he can even participate in the management."
Seeing Liu Zaishi with wide-eyed eyes, Lin Weiran threw out the conditions: "If my brother comes over, I won't give you the signing money, I will give you the corresponding shares, Li Xiaoli." Gao Xianzhen, according to their different worth and fame, will have corresponding shares. The calculation method is cumbersome, if the brother is interested. I can call a lawyer to come and talk to you. ”
Liu Zaishi hurriedly said: "Wait, my current brokerage company has been working with me for almost ten years, and my contract has not expired yet." ”
Lin Weiran was confident: "Xinhan legal team, although it has just been established, two of the members are from well-known Korean law firms, and my brother doesn't have to worry about legal problems at all, and the president of my brother's brokerage company has lost a lot of money because of inadvertent investment, and if Xinhan is responsible for liquidated damages, I believe he will hand over the contract." ”
The cooperation model proposed by Lin Weiran is very interesting. To be precise, it is impossible to refuse, replacing the signing fee with shares is not without precedent in the Korean entertainment industry, but the result is not as gratifying as imagined, if the artist holds the shares, he is equal to the company's shareholders, and to a certain extent, he will guarantee his own 'freedom', and this 'freedom' is often synonymous with trouble for the artist manufacturing industry, for these artists who are shareholders themselves, the company's management will oppose them to a certain extent, and once the contradiction arises. It's going to be out of control.
However, since Lin Weiran can put forward such a bold idea, he must have a way to solve this kind of problem, and if the conflict between the management and the artist can be properly handled, the benefits of this model will be highlighted. The first is that the artist's own freedom will bring them a sense of security, and the shares in their hands will also keep them motivated at work, and a sense of security will avoid a series of troubles caused by fear and suspicion. And this motivation will also allow them to avoid the pessimistic idea of working for others and only getting paid for themselves.
And artists can participate in the operation. Except for a few rare people who have been working in the entertainment industry since the 90s, there has been no such person in the Korean entertainment industry for a long time.
Liu Zaishi thought about this. Next, we naturally have to think about why Lin Weiran wants to do this, the dispersion of shares will make the company have no absolute power to be centrally controlled, and naturally there will be no such big profits, doing business is not doing charity, Liu Zaishi will not believe that Lin Weiran will go to great lengths to provide such a model, just to let them artists get the right to be 'free'.
So he asked, "What do you want?" ”
Lin Weiran replied: "Brother, imagine that in a few years, one-third of South Korea's top stars will be from Xinhan, what can I get?" ”
Liu Zaishi suddenly realized, and then he had new doubts: "Shinhan will indeed have a lot of resources, but what about the selection of works?" Artist selection or company selection? The contradiction ......"
Lin Weiran interrupted: "Brother, no matter what you do, you will run into trouble, some conflicts can be persuaded and persuaded, and some conflicts require people to go to the end to take a look." What I want is not Shinhan's absolute control over this company, I want advertising, and when this model is formed, this company will become Korea's No. 1 economic company, with government support, preferential treatment from the media, and many benefits that I can't explain one by one now, and I didn't even think of it. Now brother should think carefully about what you want for yourself? Will my son be able to have a study next to the Han River in advance in a year, or will he continue to watch the chaotic status quo of this circle and stay out of it alone? ”
Speaking of which, Liu Zaishi's choice is already very clear, Lin Weiran is here in person, and it is really not just for the show that Shinhan is tailoring for him, this young man has a bigger goal. If it is born with advertising and shaping a good corporate image and expanding popularity, then the artists it chooses must stay away from scandals and have a good public image, and the artists who have obtained shares are not all saints, and their private lives must not exceed the limits of ordinary people's bearing, and the unspoken rules of the industry and all kinds of realities that may affect the effect of this kind of advertising will be avoided to the greatest extent, and the most attractive is its current loose model, without absolute concentration of power, There is no corresponding decay breeding.
This model originated in the United States, and it can be said to be a replica of CAA, the world's largest economic society, but CAA does not need artists to advertise, but Shinhan does need it.
It is precisely this need that makes Lin Weiran look credible and sincere at this time, if it succeeds, what kind of changes and shocks this economy and society will bring to the entire Korean entertainment industry, Liu Zaishi really wants to take a look.
"I need time to think about it."
"Well, this kind of thing does need to be considered. My sister-in-law is still recuperating, so we won't bother. ”
Lin Weiran said goodbye to Liu Zaishi politely, and then left with Han Weiyi, watching him walk out of his back. Liu Zaishi shook his head and chuckled, thinking about the young man who did variety shows with him at the beginning. After all, he became Chairman Lin.
"This kind of proposal will not be approved by the board of directors, even Xu Yongzhe, who is on your side, will not agree."
Follow Lin Weiran's side. Han Weiyi thought about the feasibility of this matter: "It is difficult for such a cooperation model to generate enough benefits, and the bigger the stall, the greater the risk. ”
"Do you know what Shinhan's annual advertising budget is? And how much should I invest in the CI plan to be carried out after all the overseas branches are established? ”
Lin Weiran turned her head to look at her: "Five hundred to six hundred, maybe even more, I don't think they will disagree with the budget of the new propaganda model, the media calls Shinhan the leader of the new media, what we do is innovation, the benefits of this model itself don't even need us to polish the pen for reporters, they will write it." Because there are celebrities, there are topics. ”
"Even so, it's a risk. Honestly, do you have an ideal in doing this? ”
"What ideal?"
"The ideal of changing the world?"
Han Weiyi smiled, looking at her, Lin Weiran couldn't tell if it was a joke or not.
"Maybe I've been in this circle for too long, and a lot of things seem to be taken for granted, and this circle looks full of human touch on TV, but in fact it is full of interests. Of course, it's not about those artists, but about you, me, and the president of the agency, and so on. ”
"If you are a businessman, you have to make money. Understandable. ”
"I've seen a lot of women and men doing things they don't want to do in order to make money."
Hearing this, Lin Weiran stopped. At this time, the two of them had already arrived near the parking lot, and it was sunny in Seoul today. From time to time, a breeze blows, and it is not as hot as it was a few days ago. Lin Weiran looked at Han Weiyi. I noticed that her eyes were a little dim, some things will not be numb when she sees a lot, but no longer on the surface, although the beauty in the book is not reality, but everyone knows the Tao, for many people, this beauty represents all dreams, and people who seem to follow the rules of this world do not mean that they do not have a yearning for better.
Lin Weiran said gently: "Everyone has to face a choice, and what choice they make when facing a choice is their own business, you can't help him, I can't help him, it's always them who make the choice, even if they are forced or forced, they are still the ones who make this choice." I like a Korean saying that you can't blame an apple even if it's rotten, but if the apple that has been bitten chooses to continue to rot, it's their own choice. ”
Sure enough, this is Lin Weiran.
Han Weiyi, who could almost guess this kind of answer, chuckled, although she wanted to tell him that not everyone in the world saw it like him, but she still didn't open her mouth in the end.
"Let's go, continue to be seen by people I know in this place, and there will not necessarily be anything to be said. If you have time in the evening, you can stop by and eat together, and if you are a friend, you are responsible for helping me solve my boredom. ”
Turning around, Han Weiyi, who hadn't taken a few steps, heard: "Three people?" ”
Han Weiyi was slightly stunned.
"Yun'er has time today, why don't we eat together."
Hearing Lin Weiran's words, Han Weiyi instinctively wanted to refuse, but he didn't know what Lu Dao was for, and another word burst out of his mouth: "Okay." ”
With the beginning, the rest is easy.
"What place? You wouldn't choose your girlfriend's favorite restaurant for her, would you? ”
Lin Weiran shook her head: "No, she doesn't have a favorite restaurant, I usually go wherever I take her, so you choose." ”
"I'll see you that night, I'll go home first and prepare, I'm the only one on the table today."
After speaking, without waiting for Lin Weiran to react, Han Weiyi walked in the direction of the main entrance, making it clear that she was going home to sort out her equipment now, Lin Weiran was not surprised by Han Weiyi's actions, she did not dissuade her, but instead watched her walk towards the main entrance, looking at her chic back that was still a little proud. Soon, he returned to the car by himself, and after receiving a text message from Han Weiyi, he called Yun'er to explain the time and place of the meeting, and then continued the work at hand in the company.
At eight o'clock in the evening, the first hall in Seoul, in accordance with the law that the protagonist must be present for a while, Han Weiyi was really late, a white shoulder dress with a refined necklace made of black gemstones, although there were no other accessories, but it still looked gorgeous, and a green hosta was inserted into the bun that was pulled up, which was still a gift he received when he was dealing with career problems in China a few years ago. She is also the most glamorous existence.
followed the waiter all the way upstairs, and when she arrived at the door of the box, Han Weiyi was a little nervous for no reason, maybe it was Lin Weiran's belief in her ability to restrain the feelings between each other, or maybe he really regarded himself as a friend, and meeting Lin Yun'er and Lin Weiran together on a certain occasion was not an easy thing for Han Weiyi, who was far from paying attention, so she opened the door very lightly, but she didn't hear any sound coming out, until she completely opened the door, and then she found that there was no one here at all.
She subconsciously frowned slightly, and when she walked in the door, a figure suddenly jumped up beside her.
"Sister Weiyi, happy birthday!" (To be continued......)
