Chapter 173: Li Xiuman
"Righteous Brothers" has completed all filming and will be released in February of next year after the editing and post-editing work.
After a month and a half of continuous shooting, Chen Zaitian formed a deep friendship with all the members of the crew.
Chen Zaitian's own observation of words and feelings, and his 'rich' communication skills made all the members of the crew full of good feelings for him. Of course, Song Kanghao's special care for him is also one of the important reasons.
After simply dealing with the media reporters waiting outside the filming site with Song Kanghao and others, Chen Zaitian put on his hat and found a gap to sneak out from another intersection of the airport, and immediately got into the car that was already waiting for him outside.
The people who picked him up were naturally his two good brothers, Kim Zhengchang and Xu Wenjin.
"I said third brother, you have become a star and are still sneaky, what has become of this." Even if he hasn't seen Chen Zaitian for a while, Xu Wenjin is still that virtuous. "I've seen those celebrities very beautiful." Chen Zaitian didn't bother to pay attention to him.
"Where are you going?" Kim Jung-chang clicked on the sunglasses on the bridge of his nose and turned back to Chen Jae-tian and asked.
"S.M." Chen Zaitian took off his hat and said.
"Hey, what are you doing there, third brother? You're not going to run back and be a Girls' Generation agent for half a day, are you? "As for Chen Zaitian's affairs, the three brothers all know about it.
"I have to give an explanation to Kim Young-min, he has been trying to kill me since he knew that I was making my debut as an actor." Chen Zaitian said jokingly.
However, Chen Zaitian's joke is really not a joke for Kim Youngmin, and he really wants to 'kill' Chen Zaitian in his heart.
Shady. A reversal, he saw the news that Chen Zaitian debuted as an actor and starred in the movie "Righteous Brothers". On the same day, he called Chen Zaitian to question.
This is not to say that Kim Young-min has any 'cold' for Chen Jae-tian to enter the showbiz as an actor, if he didn't cooperate with Chen Jae-tian and Kim Jung-chang, he would still wonder how he wouldn't be a filmmaker with a big director brother-in-law like Bong Joon-ho in the background. But at this juncture, it's really a headache for him.
On October 14, the mediation of the contract dispute between TVXQ and S.M Brokerage Company officially failed. According to media sources, the Seoul Central District Court said on the 14th that it had approached three members of TVXQ, Kim Jae-joong, Park Youtian and Kim Jun-so, to try to mediate, but it was unsuccessful. Since they said they "do not want to mediate", the court will soon issue a final decision on the case.
Faced with such a situation, how could Kim Young-min not be concerned. When the time comes, the court pronounces the verdict. TVXQ's dissolution in the sense is ironclad. However, at present, he has not received any information about the second largest shareholder of S.M. Company, Japan's Aihui Company, as promised by Chen Zaitian.
"Brother Zhengchang, what is the decision of Ai Hui Company?" Chen Zaitian has been a little busy in the past week, and he really doesn't care about this side of things.
Kim Jung-chang looked at the car ahead and said, "It's not bad." Since the beginning of the financial crisis, S.M's stock has been falling, which has made Ai Hui very worried about S.M's operations. Originally, Ai Hui Company was interested in the profits brought by TVXQ, a subsidiary of S.M. Company. It is said that TVXQ's total revenue in Japan this year alone is as high as 6.89 billion yen (about 520 million yuan). But now that this golden job is about to be dissolved, Ai Hui is of course not happy to return to the company. When they heard that I was secretly negotiating with Kim Jae-jung and Kim Young-min on behalf of them, they immediately sent a commissioner to talk to me for a few days. Now that TVXQ is facing dissolution. Ai Hui is happy to take over the three of them and sign them in Japan after the court makes a decision. ”
"6,890,000,000 yen!" Xu Wenjin, who was sitting in the co-pilot, exclaimed. "How many won is this!"
"How do I know, you count it yourself." Interrupted by Xu Wenjin, Kim Zhengchang just picked up the water bottle in the car and took a drink.
"Don't interrupt your kid, Brother Zhengchang, you go on." Chen Zaitian threw Xu Wenjin a pillow and turned to Kim Zhengchang and said.
"Because the mediation failed, the court said it would make a provisional judgment at the end of this month. The representative of the commissioner of Ai Hui said that TVXQ's contract with Ai Hui still has a lot of performing arts activities in Japan, and there will be a "NHK Red and White Song Party" in Japan at the end of this year. However, it may also be because they know that Kim Young-min and Lee so-man have a power struggle in S.M, and they also told me a piece of news, that is, Ai Hui intends to sell the shares of the second largest shareholder of S.M after the end of this year, maybe he really thinks I am from Kim Young-min, and wants to ask Kim Young-min if he is interested in buying. Kim said, smiling. After all, the shares of the second largest shareholder of Ai Hui Company are not a joke, how can Kim Young-min have the ability to buy them.
"Huh? Ai Hui wants to sell shares in S.M? Chen Zaitian was indeed taken aback when he heard this. Originally, he just wanted to use the relationship of interests, that is, the dissolution of TVXQ, to arouse Ai Hui Company's dissatisfaction with Li Xiuman's decision-making, and then cause a certain isolation between the two sides, which can be regarded as gaining some advantage over Kim Yingmin's power struggle within S.M Company, but he didn't expect Ai Hui Company to really plan to part ways with S.M Company.
"How many shares does Ai Hui have in S.M?" Chen Zaitian couldn't help but ask.
"16.9%." Kim Jung-chang thought for a while and said. "Don't say you kid wants to buy it."
"How is it possible, where am I going to get so much money." Chen Zaitian hurriedly blurted out.
"Why not, I'm afraid that your kid has a brain fever, and he really took out all the money in the stock market to buy it." Kim Jung-chang said annoyedly. "I can see it these days when you retired, you kid is more affectionate than me, and I just took the car to bubble the little girl in the university, you kid may really buy it for those nine girls one day. Don't say I didn't warn you, Red Star Company owes my second uncle money now, don't you really invest in this entertainment company, don't you see that Ai Hui sold it back to the company......"
"Okay, okay..., I think I've already bought it, so let's drive well." Chen Zaitian said to Kim Jung-chang angrily.
"82.6 billion!" Xu Wenjin shouted, this kid was really converting 6.8 billion yen just now!
******
In the S.M company, Li Xiuman browsed today's entertainment news irritably, and now he had a headache as soon as he saw the news about TVXQ, and then he also saw the young man in front of him called Chen Zaitian.
Li Xiuman threw away the mouse, lit a cigarette for himself, and pondered.
Needless to say, TVXQ's news is a bit unexpected by the fact that Kim Jae-joong, Park Youtian and Kim Jun-so are indeed a little unexpected. He didn't know why the three sons suddenly changed so quickly, you must know that when the contract dispute first broke out, the three of them also said that they only protested against part of the exclusive contract of S.M, and even during the negotiation, they expressed through their lawyers that they did not want TVXQ to dissolve, and only wanted to continue to develop in the name of the group after the termination of the contract with S.M. However, by last month, it had changed, as if it no longer cared about negotiations with S.M., and even court mediation was denied.
But even so, Li Xiuman didn't take these jumping clowns in his eyes. If TVXQ really disbands, in the Korean music industry, as long as he Li Xiuman doesn't say a word, with his connections and the influence of S.M Company, Kim Jae-jung and the three of them don't want to have any activities in the music industry in the future.
What gave Li Xiu a headache was the pressure from the board of directors, and it has to be said that the monetary profits brought by TVXQ made all shareholders not want to see them dissolved. This is a hen with golden eggs, a hen that lays golden eggs for S.M, and when it is dismantled and cooked, there is nothing.
Now if you want to keep this hen that lays golden eggs, there are no more than two ways in front of S.M. One is to compromise the three of them, and the company will set up a truly fair contract for them; The other is that the contract will be terminated, but the two parties will cooperate in the name of TVXQ.
But no matter which one it is, it is impossible for Li Xiuman to accept, when it comes to his identity, money is not indifferent, but it is more secondary than his Li Xiuman's prestige, and what Kim Jae-jung and the three of them are doing now is challenging his status and authority! This is something that Li Xiuman cannot tolerate, even under the pressure of the company's internal board of directors, he will never succumb to these people who should be trampled under his feet.
Chen Zaitian? Li Xiuman was more of a sneer.
Chen Zaitian debuted as an actor and became an artist is not a big deal for him, no matter how powerful he is, it is a drama after all, there are many talented artists with backgrounds in the Korean entertainment industry, how many can really become Bae Yongjun and Lee Byung-hun who have both fame and fortune? As for the politeness to him at the beginning, it was nothing more than looking at his brother-in-law, director Bong Joon-ho, and the background of the film industry behind him, really compared to it, how does Lee so-man care? !
But this kid's background is really not simple, last time Li Xiuman heard a report from the company's internal staff, and saw him and a BMW X5 'rich second generation' appeared in S. In Company M, it was Kim Young-min who was looking for him......
Just when Li Xiuman was pondering with a little irritability, there was a knock on the door of the office.
"Come in." Li Xiuman extinguished the cigarette in his hand and said in a deep voice. (To be continued......)
