(4,000-word chapter, more on that later)

"What is President Kim waiting for?"

Looking at Kim Young-min, who had not put down the pen after pulling out the pen for a long time, with a wooden expression but serious eyes, Park Jung-chang tried to suppress the anxiety in his heart, but his face was still as usual, and he slowed down his tone to remind.

"Didn't you decide to sign this contract a long time ago?"

The corners of Kim Youngmin's mouth were still bitter, and he raised his head to meet Park Jung-chang's 'goodwill' gaze, but he could only say nothing.

Decided to sign it a long time ago?

Kim Young-min doesn't remember when she agreed.

Since he began to negotiate this contract with Shinhan more than a month ago, he has only one purpose, that is, Ai Hui's shares. When Lin Weiran arrived at S.M, he made a big battle to greet him, and asked him to go to the practice room to have a private meeting with Yun'er, and even the so-called 'talented but spineless' president image during this time, everything is just a show.

He didn't know about the transaction between Li Xiuman and Lin Weiran, and when he knew about it, he chose to leave the only one, either to sign the contract on behalf of the company, or to accept the accountability of the board of directors because of the stock issue. TVXQ left, Han Geng left, S.M's two main boy groups suffered irreversible losses one after another, negative news was overwhelming, and there were few reports on the contract problem of Han Lequan, the first to bear the brunt of S.M's not to mention, the huge decline in the stock market will not make anyone interested in the stocks in Ai Hui's hands. The implementation of the plan was smooth, although there were risks, but the benefits were greater, but Jin Yingmin didn't expect that Lin Weiran's trip to Japan completely disrupted the layout that he and Li Xiuman had started since the termination of the contract dispute with TVXQ, and now it can only be said to be a complete failure.

But. What else could he do?

Kim Young-min sighed softly, and the indifferent disguise since the start of negotiations with the Shinhan side again has created a rift. With the slight sound of the tip of the pen scratching on the paper, there is a faint decadence between the eyebrows.

"President Kim. President Lin asked me to convey a sentence to you, saying that everything must be faced with a positive attitude, losing for a while is not the same as losing the overall situation, and if you lose your horse, you will not know whether it is a blessing or not. When saying goodbye to Kim Young-min, Park Zhengchang said softly, of course he couldn't tell the deep meaning conveyed by Lin Weiran, and besides, Park Zhengchang had already decided to give up guessing what the elder was thinking. Because he guessed and guessed, he wouldn't know what Lin Weiran was thinking.

Kim Young-min nodded and smiled, followed by a burst of indistinguishable greetings, he sent Park Jung-chang all the way away, it seemed as if they were having a good conversation, this contract is not a mourning clause of a defeated country, from now on S.M Shinhan Media is a real cooperative relationship.

As for Seon's lost horse?

Seeing the other party walk away, Jin Yingmin sneered.

Lin Weiran, who can say this to him, is not because he has already won?

The contract was written in duplicate, and when the signing ceremony was over, Shinhan's plan to integrate Korean fan resources was launched, and getting S.M was a very important and decisive step. This beginning can be said to have determined the smooth implementation and unprecedented success of the plan.

After getting in the car, Park Zhengchang used his mobile phone to report to Lin Weiran, who was at the audition site, and Lin Weiran was not surprised to hear that Li Xiuman did not attend the signing ceremony. After instructing Park Jung-chang to explain the reason why Shinhan did not make a portal at a future press conference, Lim Weiran called Seo Kyung-wook, who handled personal matters instead of him.

"How's it going?"

"Almost, through Korea Investment, we can agree on the condition of anonymous shareholding. And the ownership transfer agreement is also being prepared on my side, and it will take a few days. ”

"Yes. Keep staring. ”

After a brief conversation, he put down his mobile phone and refocused on multitasking Lin Weiran to devote himself to tedious paperwork.

Shinhan Productions does not have a separate office address. The staff rented an acting academy as an audition venue, and the actors who arrived one after another from the morning filled the scene with an invisible tension, and the real audition work began in the afternoon.

At one o'clock in the afternoon, Lin Weiran arrived on time, and he was a celebrity today who did not come in through the main entrance, because he heard that the selection of this audition was led by Lin Weiran himself, and many agents were looking forward to the wind.

"President, these can be divided into two parts."

Seeing the president's sincere look on the resume review of the auditioners, one of the vice presidents of Shinhan, who was asked by Jung Eun-na to come as a consultant, Lee Kyung-ho said softly, "As long as you assign a list of potential candidates, you don't have to worry about the rest." ”

Hearing this, Lin Weiran's heart sank, and Shinhan Productions has received a lot of attention because of its recent excellent results, especially the splendid legacy and the great success of IRIS. Newcomers who still need to hone their acting skills in unimportant supporting roles naturally want to make an appearance in the hit series, but Shinhan's vision makes them become superstitious.

The success of the series is still fresh in the memory of many people, followed by 'Family Birth' and 'Virtual Idol', Lin Weiran's vision and ability have been fully valued through his works, and now he himself serves as the producer of 'Tongyi', how can people not speculate that this 'Tongyi' will be the next Korean national drama?

Therefore, there are many people who come to participate in the audition, so much so that the audition will be divided into two days, and the hundreds of establishments in his hands are equivalent to hundreds of hopes, Lin Weiran is of course cautious.

It's just that, listening to what this Li Jinghao means, these characters seem to be 'internal'?

"President, you misunderstood me." Seeing Lin Weiran silent, how could Li Jinghao, who was already experienced in a hundred battles in the circle, not understand what this young president thought? He picked up a resume and whispered: "On average, one out of every 25 Koreans wants to become a singer, and for actors, this number is only a little more." There are thousands of artist economic societies in Seoul alone, and most of them are short-lived, except for the famous ones. So here we have to distinguish which are the small companies that are sure to disappear. Which are the companies that can stick to it. ”

"The most important thing is to be a producer. You must not be without connections. But this network of mutually beneficial relationships always needs to be given and rewarded, and we, the producers, get the benefits at the same time. Definitely give these people benefits. Although the audition is about choosing the right role, it is actually about choosing the right company. If the president wants to work as a producer for a long time, it is necessary to choose a newcomer from a large company. ”

After some explanation, it can be regarded as simple to understand, Lin Weiran only then understood why Zheng Enna would ask this person to stand and cheer, but I don't know if there is Han Weiyi in it.

'Tongyi' will not be the last film and television work he has produced, if Lin Weiran wants to be a producer for a long time. Then he must establish the so-called network from now on. Li Jinghao volunteered to unify his resume, saying that he would redistribute it according to the order and the company, which means that all the candidates for the small company will be singled out, leaving only the actors with a 'deep background'.

The paperwork was done from scratch, but it seemed to be very efficient under Lee Kyung-ho's decision.

"Is this how auditions usually go?" Lin Weiran suddenly asked, still silent on the surface.

"Yes, that's how it works. Of course, if the director is present, we still have to respect the director's opinion, and on occasions like today, I just go through the motions. As a result, many people called me and asked for help. Li Jinghao replied softly, and at the same time stopped what he was doing, and carefully looked at Lin Weiran's expression.

"Will you help, then?" Lin Weiran asked with a chuckle.

"Today, the president is my shield, and I am also entrusted by others to help the president."

Li Jinghao's smile gradually became more helpless. He sighed lightly: "I was also very uncomfortable when I first started doing this, but I didn't have a pair of eyes to verify the true strength of the actors, and I didn't have the ability to help the actors who fell into contract disputes in the middle of filming to solve the obstacles." It's been a long time. It also understands that all our work is for the work. What is good and what is not good, as long as it is conducive to the work, we must be familiar with it. And we are realizing the dream of being a writer and a director. And not an actor's dream. ”

Lin Weiran, who kept chuckling from beginning to end, made Li Jinghao slowly feel a little in awe of this infrequent president, who was so young, but he seemed to have a bit of a rock-solid style. As he said before, everyone was uncomfortable when they first came into contact with this industry, and denying the qualifications of some actors before the audition was not an unspoken rule. But when an actor in the crew is entangled in a lawsuit because of a contract dispute, can't be on camera and needs the writer to revise the script, or can't bear the hard work and disappears for no reason, this kind of rule reflects its forward-looking.

It seems that in order to avoid risks and stabilize people's hearts in the financial market, Lin Weiran has nothing to understand about the illegal operation and legal deception of customers by wealth management companies, but understanding is only understanding after all.

When I stood up and looked out the window, I saw the lobby, which had been filled since 10 a.m., and the venue was full of young people who had volunteered to become actors. Most of them are younger than Lin Weiran, some are holding scripts in their hands and reciting words, and some are practicing their pronunciation with pencils in their hands, each of them is like young students struggling before the college entrance examination, and now, Lin Weiran is judging their test results in advance.

"Put it down." He said suddenly.

"President." Li Jinghao, who had already sorted it out to the same level, was naturally surprised.

"After the whole shooting, the casting problem will be handled by the director team, and I will be busy with this matter." Lin Weiran made a conclusion.

"President, Director Lee Byung-hoon gave us full authority for the audition this time to test us, if we hand over the right to speak in the casting, regardless of your status in the crew for the time being, you may also be called a producer who relies on the director." Li Jinghao admonished in a deep voice, and his expression was more like a loyal minister in a costume drama.

will only rely on the director's producer's status in the circle, let alone a good reputation, everyone will scoff at this kind of producer, and no one believes that this kind of person will have the insight to choose scripts and the strength to make the work more perfect.

"Zhilu said, but Tongyi's producer is me, and no one will think that I am relying on the director's producer." Lin Weiran said softly, it was an explanation, and it was also to make Li Jinghao stop talking, relying on the foundation laid by 'You are my destiny' and 'The birth of the family', his amazing reputation in the circle should be able to hold on a little more.

Knowing that this decision was irreversible, Li Jinghao looked embarrassed.

"Tell her that I'm just like this occasionally, it's not that I don't know that I should be informal at this time, but occasionally willful."

Lin Weiran said with a smile, and knocked it off softly, of course, to the one she heard, he stood up, took a breath and continued: "Tell her that if she doesn't answer my phone again, I will stop her vacation, whether she is in Nepal or Paris, she will rush me back immediately." Also, tell her that the company's affairs can be put aside, Enna handled it very well, you might as well give her some power, and the people who take vacations will have to do everything themselves. ”

Li Jinghao's face was magnificent, full of the grandiose expression of being exposed to the biggest secret inside Shinhan Production, he lowered his head slightly because he didn't dare to look at Lin Weiran's eyes, thinking about the woman who thought he was hiding it well, and he knew that he had already been seen through, what kind of expression would it be.

Lin Weiran was about to go out after speaking, took off the badge representing the producer, chose an ordinary one from his pocket and hung it, and after taking off the suit to reveal the white shirt, he really had a bit of the staff's 'aura'.

"Don't forget to say thank you to her for me and wish her a great trip."

Seeing the back of Lin Weiran leaving, Li Jinghao, who had almost been holding his breath after being demolished, could also take a breath.

Jung Eun-na, the president's special assistant, has been producing in Shinhan for less than two years, and she doesn't have much seniority in the circle, so if it weren't for the support of the woman who went abroad, it would be absolutely impossible to command these directors and ministers. What's more, in South Korea, where machismo is prevalent, except for the new Korean production with that woman in charge, Zheng Eunna doesn't have such a big say anywhere.

Zheng Enna complained to Lin Weiran at every turn, and the problem must have come from what she heard and saw, and in this regard, Lin Weiran voluntarily abandoned the rules such as what is different from the top.

After changing the badge and taking off the suit, Lin Weiran also found a hat after going down to the second floor, and walked through a group of people and was not recognized by the agents dotted with them.

After half a circle, the ears were full of the low emphasis of the ancients, people who aspire to become actors must be very confident in their appearance, and there are really many beauties on the scene.

Thinking of buying something to drink and finding a good angle to appreciate it carefully, when he arrived in the corridor, Lin Weiran saw the small figure kneeling in front of the vending machine, and the appearance of raising his arms and bowing his head deeply, made him laugh like many people who saw this scene.
