Chapter 995: Joining the Society
1
After attending the premiere of "Death Ride" in New York, Kim Do-jun saw how dedicated New York reporters are.
A simple press conference was attended by hundreds of people from all over the country, including Canada, Mexico, and more, all crammed into a small room in a press conference.
Kim Do-joon, as a supporting role, is definitely impossible to sit in the middle, and like other actors, he sits on the side, but even so, it can't stop the camera from taking pictures.
From director Paul Anderson in the middle, to Jason Statham, Tyrese Gibson, etc., as well as Joan Allen and Ian McShane, and finally it was Kim Do-joon's turn.
Although the location is a little closer to the side, Kim Do-joon's Asian appearance still attracts a lot of attention.
This action thriller is a remake of Stallone's movie in 1975, and it is precisely because of this that many people compare the previous movie with the current one.
Kim Do-jun understands that the topics raised by these reporters are very sharp, can the classics be surpassed, how is the live performance, and compared with Stallone, Jason Statham can fight well?
Fortunately, everyone's response is very agile, this kind of problem has long been used to it, no matter which movie is filmed, it will be compared with it, and in this way, starting from New York, Kim Do-joon followed the director and actor to kick off the first performance of American propaganda.
From the first day, the promotion began non-stop, and it was not until twenty days later that I finally said goodbye to the promotion of the movie.
In the hotel, Kim Do-joon had just finished taking a shower and looked at himself in the mirror. Suddenly I felt a lot of vicissitudes. These twenty days. It's really like an NBA star, either on a plane, or going to a promotional location, either attending a movie fan meeting or attending a live event.
After so many days, the flight distance can go around the earth, and the food and accommodation are almost on the plane. Fortunately, Universal Pictures is not bad for the actors, and they are basically chartered planes to go to every location for promotion.
New York, Chicago, Miami, Philadelphia, Houston, Los Angeles, etc., in addition to publicity, Kim Do-joon has no more time to go sightseeing and sightseeing these scenic spots, so he can only wait for later, if he has the opportunity, he will come over with Taeyeon.
Just finished taking a shower. Changed into a bathrobe and officially said goodbye to the director and actors last night. Everyone drank a lot of wine, photovoltaic specials, whiskey, and drank no less than 10 bottles, which is very exaggerated.
If it weren't for Kim so-young, Kim Do-joon wouldn't know how to get back to the hotel.
looked at himself in the mirror, he was much haggard, his dark circles were also a little, he didn't have time to rest, and his tired face was exposed.
I haven't shaved for a long time, and my chin is full of prickly beards, as if after arriving in the United States, I have returned to my college days, I don't care about my beard all day long, and I don't care if I have a beard.
I touched my chin, it's time to clean up, I have to go to Yale University today!
"Brother so Yong, what time is the plane in the morning?"
Kim Do-jun poked his head out, shouted outside, and asked.
"The plane is scheduled for 10 o'clock in the morning, we still have an hour to go, and the initiation ceremony is scheduled for the afternoon, and you are the only one today!"
Although Kim Do-joon was recruited as a member of the Skull Society and his identity was confirmed, after all, he did not participate in the initiation ceremony, which is a procedural issue, and in the eyes of Americans, such a ceremony is sacred and necessary, no matter who it is, even if you are the president, you have to go through such a process.
Therefore, before Kim Do-jun came, he also contacted the Skull and Bones Society, and after confirming the time and place, he chose to go to Yale University to complete the unfinished business.
"Okay, I got it!"
Kim Do-jun nodded, then picked up the razor, shaved the beard on his chin, cleaned up, and after cleaning up the neatness, the whole person became much cleaner, shook his head, and found that it was not bad, so he walked outside.
As soon as I got out of the bathroom, I saw Kim so-young walking over with his mobile phone, handing it to Kim Do-joon, and spoke.
"Taeyeon called!"
"Why is the little guy calling now?"
Kim Do-joon asked suspiciously, took the phone, it's 9 o'clock in the morning, and if you want to be in Seoul, it should be evening!
Could it be that there is something wrong with the little one?
I've been in the United States for so long, and I haven't called Taeyeon a lot of times, both of them are very busy, plus because of the time difference, only once or twice occasionally, plus text messages to chat for comfort, but Kim Do-joon has been updating his Twitter, which records his daily itinerary, who he is with, what he does, what he eats, he will take photos and upload them one by one.
Recently, Kim Do-jun also learned a stunt, that is, how to shoot himself handsome, especially with whites and blacks, then the advantage is greater, all of them are very thick, and with them, it seems that Kim Do-jun is much slimmer, appearing in the camera, Kim Do-jun's face has become smaller, which really makes Kim Do-jun happy.
The attention on Twitter has already risen from a few thousand at the beginning to hundreds of thousands of fans now, although it is not particularly many, but among Korean artists, it is not bad.
Every time it is updated, there are hundreds, thousands, or even several messages, which is not a small number, and it is slowly increasing.
"Soft, good morning, no, you should be at night, it should be good evening!"
As soon as Kim Do-joon came up, he started selling Moe Dao, and he didn't wear any clothes, but just put on a bathrobe and ran out.
Seeing this, Kim so-young had already turned around and helped him pack the clothes he was going to wear when he went out.
"Hmph, let's have fun outside! Looking at the photos you posted, I guess I forgot when I came back! ”
Taeyeon finished her announcement and sat in the nanny car, ready to go back to the dormitory, thinking about the text message she sent to Do-joon, knowing that he had ended his twenty-day campaign, and there should be nothing to do. It should be morning in the United States. That's when I took the initiative to call him.
Generally speaking. It's Kim Do-joon who takes the initiative to find Taeyeon, but Taeyeon rarely takes the initiative to call him, I don't know what he's up to, and if he attends an event and it affects him, wouldn't it be even more troublesome.
"Why, it's coming, I'll be back in a few days. There's still something to deal with here, why do you miss me? ”
The corners of Kim Do-joon's mouth hooked slightly, and he responded with a smile, walked to the window, and looked down from above, the endless high-rise buildings, as if he were in a steel jungle, and the rays of the rising sun penetrated the dark glass and shone directly on the beige floor.
Look into the distance, cars and pedestrians on the road. Like a small ant, shuttling through the streets and alleys.
Hear Kim Do-joon's question. Taeyeon's little face flushed slightly, and she glanced up at the assistant in front of her and whispered in response.
"Hmmm! Miss you! ”
"Where do you think?"
Kim Do-jun continued to ask shamelessly, once he broke through the little thing between men and women, it seemed that he was not so embarrassed to talk about this kind of topic, but he just added it casually.
Taeyeon whispered to herself.
"Hooligans, what do you think!"
"I didn't think about it, you said it yourself, where did you think?"
Kim Do-joon began to tease Taeyeon, anyway, there is nothing to do now, the big head is over, and the rest just needs to be done.
After attending the ceremony of the Skull Society, and then going to Google's headquarters, you can go back to Seoul, which is estimated to be only three or two days.
The longest publicity period has passed, and Kim Do-joon's mood is particularly comfortable.
"Don't be poor with me, come back early, be careful on the road!"
Taeyeon wanted to have a good chat with him, who knew that Kim Do-joon was so poor, and he deliberately dug a pit to make himself jump, this kind of problem, if you don't say it well, it's embarrassing, it's better not to say it.
"Say, where do you think!"
Kim Do-jun continued to be unrelenting, a little child's temper, and vowed not to give up until he achieved his goal.
"Alright, alright, let's do it anywhere! I'm almost at the dorm, hang up! ”
I hung up the phone directly, and took advantage of this effort to stretch out my hand to fan the wind, feeling a wave of enthusiasm in the car, spreading from my body.
Kim Dojun listened to the busy tone on the phone, laughed speechlessly, shook his head, and then turned around to get dressed, have breakfast and set off.
The procedure for joining the new members of the Skull and Bones Society seems to be a bit troublesome, but in fact it is just some complicated and strange rituals that have been passed down for a long time and have been preserved.
When Kim Do-joon entered the famous room 322, there was already a member in a black robe waiting for him.
It's a very ordinary house at Yale University, even a little inconspicuous, but it's called an inner mystery.
When Kim Do-joon looked around, he suddenly felt someone put something on his shoulder.
Just as he turned his head to look, a white skull appeared in front of him, and he almost laughed.
In the pitch-black room, the skulls and empty eyes of the white bones did not wait for Kim Do-joon to react.
I heard a low voice.
"Will you accept the Skull and Bones for the rest of your life?"
"Come on, you've accepted the Skull Society for the rest of your life!"
"Yes, I will accept the Skull and Bones Society for the rest of my life!"
Kim Do-jun didn't expect that there would be this kind of ceremony, it was really too exaggerated, and when he finished answering, Kim Do-jun was led into a room full of mud, and he heard a deep voice.
"Take off your clothes, stand in, you have to use your strength to defeat your opponent!"
In the early days, members had to wrestle naked in the mud, which means very simply.
"Death in the Old World!" and "Reborn in a New World!" ”
It's an ancient and complex ritual, and it's now being picked up again as a new exerciser.
All members who join the Association must agree with and be committed to the purpose of seizing state power and creating a new world order by all means.
One of the purposes of the Skull and Bones Society is to assist its members in gaining power and wealth.
Therefore, the members of the Skull Society are very closely maintained, a bit like the feudal family system, all members have a common goal, to revitalize the Skull Society.
It is a combination of the world's elite, distinguished alumni of Yale University, and American political families, plutocratic families, and financial magnates.
Not only Yale University, but also many universities in the United States have similar secret organizations, but they are just well-known.
Because it was the first time he came, Kim Do-joon didn't know many people, and the members of the Skull and Bones Society only met once a year, and it was on a small island, so this time it was just a initiation ceremony, and there were not many members of the Skull Society in the house.
But there is one point, Jin Daojun also chatted with them and learned that the members of the Skull Society rarely take the initiative to contact, unless they are summoned, this is a very strict organization, and it is also because of Jin Daojun's huge economic strength that he was absorbed.
After the ceremony, Kim Do-jun came out of the room, and Kim so-young had been waiting for a long time on the tile.
Seeing that Kim Do-jun had changed his clothes, he hurriedly stepped forward and asked.
"Dojun, what's going on?"
"It's nothing, let's get in the car first! More on that later! ”
When I wrestled in the mud just now, I had already made my whole body dirty, and I couldn't wear it at all, and the Skull and Bones Society had already prepared the clothes for the scene, and after taking a shower, I put on new clothes and walked out.
If you want to contact the members in the future, the skull ring on your hand is the best evidence.
Kim Do-joon stroked his ring as he got into the car, fastened his seat belt, and continued to speak.
"Is the plane ticket booked, let's go directly to Google!"
As one of the shareholders of Google, Kim Do-jun rarely goes to the company, which is agreed in the contract when he was originally invested, Kim Do-jun does not participate in the management of the company's daily affairs, and only enjoys the rights related to dividends and board recommendations, and even votes, the company's development strategy, direction, policy, etc., all of which are left alone, which is why there is no contradiction with these Google executives.
Where there is a conflict of interest, there is a contradiction, this is an eternal truth, plus Kim Do-joon's shares are already too much, in the eyes of the elders of these companies, Kim Do-jun still owns 20 percent of the shares, although it has been diluted a lot, but it is still very threatening, and the policy they formulated may be overturned one day in the future.
Therefore, this share is real, for them, it is still a small thorn, Kim Dojun went to Google this time, or wanted to retreat into advance, turn passive into active, so that the initiative is in his hands.
"Well, it's booked, the plane is 7 p.m., Larry Page and Schmidt will meet you at the airport!"
Long before Kim Do-joon came to Yale University, Kim so-young had connected with Google in advance and arranged the itinerary, and this meeting was also the first time he met with the founder of Google as Kim Do-joon's agent and personal butler.
It's incredible to think about it, when did I have this kind of opportunity to meet this kind of man who stands at the top of the world, the CEO of a Fortune 500 company, you must know that he was only a small S.M company agent a year or two ago. (To be continued......)
