Chapter 196: I want to have a good year

Oh Seok-jae has been annoyed lately, and the box office of "The King's Man" has been stolen, but Park Ji-sub has not taken any action against CJ except for asking him to hire Tang Bin to create public opinion about the 'bald movement' and make the government anxious.

Look...... It's like "The King's Man" hasn't been pitted.

"Oh Seok-jie XI, what the hell does Ji-sub think."

In a small restaurant in Myeongdong Food Street, Lee Jun-ik and Oh Seok-jie sit opposite each other on a small wooden table with several bottles of Jinro soju. Both of them had a drunken look on their faces, and their tones were a little blurred.

"I don't know what he thinks." Wu Xijie picked up a small wine glass half a fingernail-high and drank the transparent liquid inside, and said with a little anger in his tone: "Li Tairan didn't follow the rules this time, this is already breaking the law, as long as you can get accurate evidence, it won't be difficult to bring this guy to justice." ”

Li Junyi was stunned, looked at Wu Xijie with a strange look in his eyes for a while, and asked in a low voice: "Wu Xijie XI, how many years have you been working under Park Ji-sub?" ”

"It's been almost two years!" Wu Xijie sighed and replied a little dejectedly.

"No wonder." Li Junyi picked up a piece of kimchi and stuffed it into his mouth, and said calmly: "You know that the last time I went to Li Tairan, I just wanted the other party to stop this behavior, but I was not sure that I could bring down the other party, do you know why?" ”

"Why?" Wu Xijie asked with a strange expression.

"Because even if CJ knows that he has done something wrong, even if it is for the sake of his own reputation, he will press us to death." Li Junyi laughed at himself and said: "Ji Xie has seen it more thoroughly than me, he has long expected that this guy Li Tairan will not stop." So I'm curious what he's doing, after all, it's got to this point now. ”

Oh Seok-jae looked at Lee Jun-ik in a daze, he finally understood why Park Ji-sub had to stand still. If there is a head-on conflict with CJ, unless you can drag all the companies such as S.M, JYP, DSP, and YG into the water, Park Ji-sub will be alone! I can't fight MNET at all. It's not about intelligence or means, it's just about the difference in strength. No matter how Park Ji-sub calculates, the background of the family is enough to kill him.

"Hey, drink and drink, that Li Tairan will be punished sooner or later." Wu Xijie was stunned for a while, then pretended to be open-minded and picked up the wine glass and drank it again with Li Junyi.

What Park Ji-sub did this time was best not to be exposed, after all, it is not honorable to lead people to march. Even Tang Bin has to hide for a while after this incident, and then join GOOD directly after the limelight passes.

And just when Oh Seok-jae was thinking about whether Park Ji-sub had some other purpose, the mobile phone rang. In Li Junyi's surprised eyes, Wu Xijie answered the phone, and after saying a bunch of inexplicable celebration words with surprise on his face, he got up to say goodbye and leave.

The next day, Wu Xijie got up early and went to the CGV Seoul branch building, and at about half past nine, Huang Zhengzhe drove the old-fashioned modern car and slowly stopped at the door. Park Ji-sub got out of the car with a calm face and waved at him.

"You say...... Li Tairan has already admitted defeat? Wu Xijie hurriedly stepped forward and asked.

"It's a matter of admitting defeat, just in time for a happy Spring Festival." Park Ji-sub smiled calmly.

"Hey, I don't understand how you're arranging at all, this time Li Tairan is arrogant to death, and then he takes the initiative to send it to the door to slaughter you, he has something wrong with his brain." Wu Xijie said with a puzzled expression.

"Go up and talk to him and you'll know!"

Park Ji-sub put his hands in his jacket pockets and said with a relaxed expression.

Wu Xijie nodded, and the three of them came to the reception room last time unimpeded. When they pushed open the door of the room, they found that Li Tairan was already sitting inside drinking tea.

"Ji-sub XI, long time no see." Li Tairan stepped forward very enthusiastically and said.

"Minister Li is polite, I don't know if there is anything very important about calling me over in such a hurry?" Park Ji-sub asked straight in.

The corners of Lee Tae-ran's mouth twitched, last time he was deceived by Park Ji-sub's appearance and age, this kid is definitely not a person who is proud of his talents. In other words, he is more calm than Li Junyi and Wu Xijie.

"That's right, according to the new film quota system, "The King's Man" will be taken off the shelves in more than 20 days, but there is still a distance from the 12 million box office......" Lee Tae-ran paused when he said this, looking at Park Ji-sub's face that had not changed at all, he continued: "Look, according to the gambling contract, if there are no 12 million moviegoers, you can only get 10% of the share, Ji-sub...... That's not good. ”

"Huh? If there is anything bad, if you are willing to gamble and lose, you should buy a lesson. Park Ji-sub smacked his mouth and said open-mindedly.

Oh Seok-jie and Hwang Jung-cheol, who were standing next to them, looked at Park Ji-sub speechlessly, this guy can be an actor.

"That's the way it is, but be your friend, Ji-sub! I don't think you can suffer like that. Li Tairan said righteously: "And if this spreads, CGV will make a film investor with tens of millions of moviegoers actually lose money, which will have a bad impact on us." ”

"Huh?" Park Ji-sub looked at Lee Tae-ran with a touched face, as if he suddenly realized this: "Minister Lee, thank you for your kindness, if I lose!" I will personally write out the gambling contract in the book, and I believe that the outside world will not be prejudiced against your company because of such a trivial matter. ”

"And Minister Li is so frank, I admire it very much." Park Ji-sub said with a look of adoration.

Li Tairan was speechless, logically speaking, only he knew the president's orders. But Park Ji-sub refused to cancel the gambling contract even if he lost money, which ...... It's a bit tricky.

And just when Lee Tae-ran was entangled, Wu Xijie next to him answered a phone call, and after a while, he hung up the phone and said a few words in Park Ji-sub's ear. And in Lee Tae-ran's pained eyes, Park Ji-sub's two rows of white teeth greeted the rising sun and said easily:

"Minister Lee, news has just come that President Roh Moo-hyun personally led a team to watch "The King's Man"."

Lee Tae-ran leaned back on the sofa with a desperate expression, he finally understood why the chairman gave such a ridiculous order, and he finally understood why Park Ji-sub was fearless.

Roh Moo-hyun watched it in person, coupled with the 'skinning movement' and the release of the new film quota system, Lee Tae-ran was able to sit in the position of minister, and he was naturally clear about some political showmanship. The reason for those filmmakers' march is nothing more than the slump in the local Korean film market, but if there is a film that only needs more than 4 billion yuan and can make dozens of times the profit, then what else do they have to say.

And now, the most suitable choice for this movie is "The King's Man...... Li Tairan lost, and he lost very badly.
