Chapter 132. New plans
In 2000, just after the Lunar New Year, Lee Jung-hyun packed up and left South Korea, FIN.K.L new mini album was released, Lee Jung-hyun did not show a single appearance from beginning to end, even if the album came out, it was so popular that Lee Jung-hyun didn't pay any attention, it's not that he Lee Jung-hyun is too small-bellied and cares about women, it's just that he Lee Jung-hyun thinks he is right, and he will stick to it.
Therefore, even if the streets and alleys are now full of dances imitating "Nobody", Lee Jung-hyun has not taken a serious look, at least to what extent the song can reach, Lee Jung-hyun himself knows.
However, before fin.k.l released an album, DSP Entertainment had already revealed that the title song was a promotional hypothesis tailored by Lee Jung-hyun for fin.k.l, and the dance choreographed by himself, and now everyone's appetite was once again satisfied, who doesn't look forward to Lee Jung-hyun's choreographed dance?
Therefore, as soon as the album came out, it was frantically snapped up by countless people, and once made major TV stations and variety shows imitate it one after another, swaying gently with the rhythm.
With the passage of time, "nobody" also officially entered the American market, and it quickly became popular as soon as it arrived in the United States, because Dsp Entertainment once again focused on Lee Jung-hyun as the focus of publicity, so countless Lee Jung-hyun's American fans quickly became active.
Their idol prince wrote a song and choreographed a dance, how to make them endure it? So they cheered and bought the album.
Overnight, FIN.K.L became popular in the United States, and the song "Nobody" also officially landed on the US Billboard chart, although it is only seventy-seven, which is not simple, at least at present, no one in Asia except Lee Jung-hyun has ever been on the US Billboard chart!
This is enough for them to become very popular, and Fin.K.L's results in the United States have also been transferred to South Korea, but what people didn't expect is that since Fin.K.L did not make headlines, but Lee Jung-hyun, who has been low-key and has not shown up, has made all the headlines, the reason is very simple! His songs written by Lee Jung-hyun and choreographed dances once again pushed Fin.K.L to the world stage.
None of this is what Lee Jung-hyun cares about, because from his perspective, he only cares about the people he cares about, dragging his suitcase, and Lee Jung-hyun also officially appeared in the United States
After resting at home for a night, Lee Jung-hyun wanted to officially launch his own plans, officially launch his Hollywood blockbuster plans after the Grammy Awards, so now is also the time to prepare for himself, Lee Jung-hyun thought to himself
The next day, Lee Jung-hyun rushed to Universal Music with his script and found Pete.
"Pete, does Universal Pictures have a good friend of yours?" Lee Jung-hyun looked at Pete and asked.
Pete was puzzled and asked, "How did you remember to ask this?"
Li Zhengxian shook the script in his hand and said, "Of course it's a movie!" You don't need them to release an album, do you?"
Pete frowned and said, "Prince, don't forget your identity, you're a singer, and your mission is to make an album, not to shoot some damn movie, OK"?
Looking at Pete with a serious face, Li Zhengxian smiled, nodded and said: "I know, but Pete, don't forget our contract, an album for two years, I don't want to go to Zhang Luo now for next year, this is a doubt about my strength, Pete, you know my personality, I won't do things that I am not sure of, can I help?" Don't help me go to 20th Century Fox, I think they must be interested in my films"!
With the results of the first micro-film, Pete also knows that countless film companies will be interested in him, at least for now in the United States, he is a signboard, it is the heyday of popularity, so with his popularity, as long as the work is not too bad, all film companies will be willing to cooperate with him, this is the real entertainment industry, rather than cheapen others, it is better to give his own company, at least Universal Pictures and his Universal Music belong to the same group of subsidiaries.
Looking at Li Zhengxian's serious expression, Pete nodded helplessly and said, "Let's go!" With your script, I'll take you to the head of Universal Pictures"!
Lee Jung-hyun smiled and walked behind Pete towards Universal Pictures.
After three hours of negotiations, the general manager of Universal Pictures personally decided to give Lee Zhengxian $100 million in funds, and the other sources of funds had to be tested by Li Zhengxian to find investors himself.
After the discussion, back to Universal Music, Pete looked at Lee Jung-hyun and said: "Prince, you are too bold, since you dare to open your mouth with an investment of 200 million US dollars, I was almost scared to death by you, it is 200 million US dollars!" Not the won of your country"!
Lee Jung-hyun smiled and said, "Pete, if the global box office can reach one billion dollars, how much is the investment of 200 million?" Besides, I don't need so much at all, I deliberately said more, I estimate that 130 million US dollars is enough, box office! I'm conservatively estimated to be a billion"!
Pete smiled, it was a sneer, looking at Lee Jung-hyun's confident appearance, Pete couldn't believe it, what did the general manager of Universal Pictures think, just this one plan, 100 million US dollars was given, is this a joke"?
Li Zhengxian looked at Pete's expression, but thought in his heart, "The fulfillment of the sentence that interlacing is like a mountain is completely consistent with Pete at this time, if people don't like their own script, 100 million US dollars, can they give it if they can say it?" If someone can sit in the position of general manager, how can the vision be comparable to ordinary people? If he wasn't sure about his script, he wouldn't have invested so much even if MJ came, right?
But Li Zhengxian wanted to think about it, and he didn't plan to explain it to Pete, but suddenly Li Zhengxian's brain turned, and he thought of a way, so he said.
"Pete, how about we make a bet?"
Pete looked at Li Zhengxian suspiciously, thought about it seriously, and asked carefully, "How to bet?" What to bet on"?
Lee Jung-hyun smiled and said: "My film is called "Pirates of the Caribbean", it is a series of movies, with an investment of about 130 million US dollars, and it takes nine months from preparation to shooting, and at most ten months.
Let's bet on "Pirates of the Caribbean", if the global box office does not reach one billion, my prince will no longer touch all things in film and television, concentrate on making albums, and also change the contract with you to two albums a year, how about it"?
Pete's eyes widened in surprise, but then he thought silently, and after a while, Pete raised his head and looked at Li Zhengxian and asked, "Prince, it won't be that simple, right?" What if you win? What do you want me to do"?
Li Zhengxian laughed and said: "Of course, the bet must be made, but I can promise you, I won, the contract will not change, but you must respect my decision, what I want to do, you are not allowed to interfere, let alone stop, how about it?" Dare to bet"?
Pete fell into a deep struggle, this is an opportunity, but also a trap, how to choose, Pete really dare not try easily, but think about it to always keep himself from much loss, no matter where he stands out, in the end he benefits himself will eventually have a little reward.
So Peid's head said, "Okay, prince, I promised, and today we will high-five and swear"!
After getting Pete, Lee Jung-hyun easily left Universal Music, now that the funds have been finalized, the remaining 30 million will be made up by himself! Seeing that his life goal had taken a solid step, Li Zhengxian was extremely excited, humming a little song, and walked back to his villa leisurely
Early the next morning, Li Zhengxian was woken up by Pete's phone call while he was sleeping, Li Zhengxian looked at the caller ID, and then answered the phone dissatisfiedly and said: "Pete, you'd better have something, otherwise I'm not done with you!" Don't you know it's immoral to disturb people's sleep"?
Pete's hearty laughter came from the phone, but after laughing, he hurriedly explained: "I'm sorry prince, I'm really sorry, I have something to remind you, the Grammy awards show is about to start, do you have a female companion on the red carpet?" Do you want me to help you prepare"?
Li Zhengxian frowned, thought for a while, and said: "Oh, I almost forgot, I won't hold you accountable today for disturbing my sleep, I will deal with it myself, don't trouble you, I'll do it myself!"
Hung up the phone Li Zhengxian thought about the right person, except for Britney Spears who was the most suitable, Li Zhengxian really didn't feel the right person, but at this moment Li Zhengxian thought of a person, a person who was not suitable, but he wanted to help her, so Li Zhengxian picked up the phone and dialed the transatlantic phone.
"Tae-hee, I'm Lee Jung-hyun, is it convenient to answer the phone now?" Lee Jung-hyun asked politely.
And in South Korea, Kim Tae-hee, who was watching TV with his parents, suddenly rang the phone, under the watchful eye of his parents, Kim Tae-hee carefully picked up the mobile phone, and after seeing the caller ID, Kim Tae-hee was stunned for a moment, but he still answered it immediately, and heard Lee Jung-hyun's greeting before he could speak.
Kim Tae-hee saw his parents' warning eyes, but he still sat obediently and didn't move, and said, "Senior Junghyun, it's okay, I'm at home!" It's very convenient, what's the urgency"?
When Kim Tae-hee heard Kim Tae-hee shouting that he was Junghyeon, he glanced at each other and continued to look at his daughter curiously.
Kim Tae-hee understood Lee Jung-hyun's purpose, and almost threw away his phone in surprise, but he didn't dare to make his own decisions, so he looked at his parents and asked, "Mom and Dad, Senior Jung-hyun invited me to be his Grammy ceremony red carpet companion, can I go"?
Father Jin was surprised, glanced at Mother Jin, turned his head and said, "You decide for yourself, your mother and I won't care about you!"
Kim Tae-hee pursed his lips, but he thought dissatisfiedly in his heart, you don't care, maybe you will only say this if the other party is Lee Jung-hyun, right?"
Kim Tae-hee only dared to think about it in his heart, but he hurriedly picked up the phone and said, "Senior Junghyun, when will I pass?"
I made an appointment with Li Zhengxian, and as soon as I hung up the phone, Jin Mu smiled curiously and said, "Baby daughter, tell Ou Mom, does Li Zhengxian like you?" Otherwise, there are so many female stars in South Korea, why do you choose you"?
Kim Tae-hee wanted to cry and said without tears: "Ou Mom, can you exaggerate a little more?" Isn't it because I'm his wife's best friend? I can't explain it to you, I went to sleep"! With that, Kim Tae-hee turned around and left
February 15, 2000, this is a very special day, but also enough for all the "princesses" to look forward to the day, but also the day that countless Korean people look forward to, the music industry known as the music Hollywood, the Grammy Awards ceremony opened today
