Chapter 194: The Game of the Upper Echelons

Blue House, the president's office, the atmosphere in the room at the moment seems a little dignified.

Roh Moo-hyun frowned and looked at the report in his hand. Less than three days after the start of the bald head movement on January 2, the incident caused quite a stir. As we all know, South Korea has been pushing the entertainment industry vigorously since the beginning of the last century, which is one of the reasons why Hallyu is so popular in Asia.

The entertainment industry is booming, so these parade filmmakers and production company employees are naturally very far-reaching in influence. Moreover, this film cooperation system is a basis for commercial cooperation between the United States and South Korea, and if it fails, it will inevitably attract suppression from the United States.

And how can South Korea, a country that even has the right to start a war in the hands of the United States, resist?

"Secretary Han, what do you think should be done with this matter now?" Roh Moo-hyun leaned back in his chair, his casual tone breaking the oppressive silence.

The person questioned was one of Roh Moo-hyun's cronies in the presidential office, and the other party was wearing a dark blue suit. After fiddling with the buttons of his fingers, he said slowly: "The bald head movement in 1999 had just passed through the financial crisis, the South Korean economy was sluggish, and the film industry was even more bleak. ”

"Well, go ahead." After hearing this, Roh Moo-hyun nodded and said.

"After seven years of development, there has been a warming phenomenon in China's films, from "Shiwei Island" to "Tai Chi Flag Flying", which fully shows that my country can still defeat Hollywood movies on the frontal battlefield." Secretary Han paused when he said this, glanced at several councillors sitting on the side, and continued: "For now, "The King's Man", which was boiling in the outside world some time ago, has exceeded nine million box office, as long as it is ......"

"Okay, you can stop." Roh Moo-hyun pressed his hand and said lightly.

The rest of the councillors seemed to understand something, and after glancing at each other, the room fell silent again.

"I will personally take charge of CJ, and I hope that the NSA will work hard and not have any other problems during this period." Roh Moo-hyun glanced at the people present and found that no one came out to object, so he said with a smile: "Then the meeting is dismissed." ”

The next day, Roh Moo-hyun visited CJ Group's food factory and greeted CJ Group Chairman Lee Jae-hyun intimately.

At around eight o'clock in the evening, Park Ji-sub sat in front of the computer on the second floor of the café, watching the news on the N**ER homepage, and fell into deep thought. Roh Moo-hyun visited CJ Group and also had contact with Lee Jae-hyun. It is self-evident what it represents, and what agreement the two sides reached, although he can deduce, there are other possibilities.

'Ji-sub, answer the phone'

The bell recorded by Park Ji-yeon alone rang, and Park Ji-sub came back to his senses and connected the phone.

"Hey, Ji-sub, the movie quota system has changed, and our movies will be taken off the shelves in a month!" Wu Xijie's slightly hoarse voice came, and he paused and continued: "At present, the box office given by CGV is 9 million moviegoers, and there are still 3 million people left from the target. But the box office stolen in it is estimated to be more than a million, and the more the movie gets weaker in the later stages, what should we do? ”

The corners of Park Ji-sub's mouth twitched, Wu Xijie has also broken his heart for this in the past few days. not only personally supervised Tang Bin's progress on the Internet, but also kept an eye on CGV's movements.

"Wait!" Park Ji-sub said briefly.

"Wait?" Wu Xijie asked suspiciously: "Tang Bin's side needs to work harder to make this matter a little bigger." ”

"Don't act rashly for the time being, but let Tang Bin get ready and listen to my news." Park Ji-sub commanded.

Wu Xijie was silent for a few seconds, and then hung up the phone after saying 'um'. The revision of the film quota system dragged a large number of people into the water, and Tang Bin deliberately promoted it, and many wavering filmmakers joined the march.

And these people ...... In the future, they will all become victims, which is why Park Ji-sub has not used this method. Because this march is doomed to be a failed demonstration. The film quota system will still be promulgated and approved by the public. And these filmmakers and actors will be hated by the people in a short period of time, and even the movies that have been made will be lost.

This is also the reason why Park Ji-sub has not taken the initiative to stir up trouble, because he is personally leading people into the abyss. It's just that he has no choice, for the benefit of a group of strangers, to disappoint Li Juli, and even worry his relatives, this is not his style.

On the other side, Lee Tae-ran suddenly received an order, and Lee Jae-hyun went to CGV to check it out. The whole company was immediately busy, cleaning up the accounts, personnel training, cleaning, etc., in short, when Lee Jae-hyun came to CGV's Seoul branch, what he saw was definitely the best side.

After bowing and saluting and politely being greeted by a row of managers, Lee Jae-hyun alone approached Lee Tae-ran, the head of CGV's Seoul branch.

"President, what do you command?"

In the minister's office, Lee Tae-ran looked at Lee Jae-hyun who was sitting in his place and said with a respectful face.

"You're in charge of running the movie 'The King's Man', right?" Lee Jae-hyun asked casually with a pair of gray-rimmed glasses and a slightly rich expression.

Li Tairan's heart tightened, if the matter of doing things at the box office was known by the above, it would be really dead. Park Ji-sub didn't poke this out because CJ wouldn't admit it even for the sake of his reputation. And when the time comes, Park Ji-sub will not only not be able to get the money, but he will probably be trapped.

But if CJ handles this matter internally, then Lee Tae-ran's position as minister will definitely not be kept. As for why Park Ji-sub didn't report it, he didn't know CJ's senior management at all, so who to report it. Moreover, there are many parties within CJ, and if you accidentally bump into the hands of Lee Tae-ran's allies at that time, you will be a real sheep.

It's just that this is all based on the fact that Lee Jae-hyun does not interfere, and the position of chairman means that he can decide whether everyone in the company except for the executive director and shareholders will go or stay, and even Lee Tae-ran's umbrella will not stand up and speak. Because no one will offend the chairman for the sake of the minister of a subsidiary.

"'The King's Man' is really in charge of me, and it's one of the highest-grossing films at the moment." Li Tairan flashed all kinds of thoughts in his mind, and replied carefully.

Lee Jae-hyun frowned, he was able to sit in the position of chairman not only by his relationship, but also by his ability. Li Tairan's expression was a little hesitant, how could he not notice. Twisting his fingers, Lee Jae-hyun said casually as if chatting: "Minister Li, what do you think is the highest box office of this movie?" ”
