Chapter 215: Windfall
C.P.C's first independently invested, self-written, directed and self-starred TV series "Love Apartment", after nearly 3 months of intense shooting, finally ushered in the final completion, the whole crew members were officially disbanded after the dinner, and the remaining director Jiang Jiongzhe and a small number of people entered the post-editing stage.
Cui Zhenlong has repeatedly urged them to speed up the progress in private, and he can't wait to sell this finished product to the country that once haunted him across the sea this summer.
However, in this regard, most of the other senior executives in the company have different opinions, and the reason is very simple and direct, at this time on the land of China, the aftermath of the SARS virus has not been completely dissipated, although this time South Korea is very lucky to avoid this catastrophe, but most Koreans are also a little talking about this, who can the company send to China in this special period?
Of course, that's right, it's human nature to be afraid of death, and there's no way around it. However, Cui Zhenlong also has his own considerations and sees opportunities from this crisis.
Because the SARS virus hangs above people's heads like a sword of Damocles, in order to reduce the chance of infection, most people choose to stay at home honestly at other times, especially for students who are about to go on summer vacation, unless they are forced to go out for normal work.
So the question is, how to spend these two long months? There is no doubt that TV and the Internet will become the main means for many young people to spend time, and the TV series "Love Apartment" is mainly aimed at this young generation, plus the threat of death has made people's nerves tense and suppressed for a long time, and now is the time to need this kind of comedy to dilute this atmosphere and bring more laughter.
How can such a God-given opportunity be missed? It's well worth taking even a little risk! As the saying goes, there must be brave men under heavy rewards, and there are many ordinary employees in C.P.C who want to get ahead, and under the double temptation/temptation of Cui Zhenlong's promise of promotion and money, there are naturally people who have the courage to "take risks".
At this point, the broadcast of the Korean version of "Love Apartment" can be regarded as preliminarily decided, and as for the leading actors of the show, after the filming of the TV series ended, they also had their own arrangements.
Among them, Kim Tae-hee's schedule is the most intensive, as soon as this drama ends, she will start preparing for the next TV series non-stop, and in August this year, the urban romantic drama "Stairway to Heaven" co-filmed by C.P.C and SBS TV will be officially launched.
Different from the original historical process, this time Kim Tae-hee no longer plays the female number two Han Youli in the play, but plays the female number one Han Jingshu. This is the result of Cui Zhenlong's unilateral resistance to the pressure of SBS and his efforts to promote it, he used the power and resources in his hands to squeeze Cui Zhiyou, who is more famous and acting. Just because of this matter, he also talked frankly with Kim Tae-hee alone.
"Nuna, what this "Stairway to Heaven" means to you, I don't need to say more, you know it very well in your own heart! If you can't grasp the opportunity to show your value this time, then..."
Having said that, Kim Tae-hee certainly knew what Choi Jin-ryong meant. It is true that since she signed a contract with C.P.C, the company has invested the most resources in her, and she has been regarded as the company's "first sister", but the name of this "first sister" is still a little undeserved, the key is that she does not really have a representative work and convincing acting awards, and the ratings of "Love in Harvard" tailored for her last year are just good, and there are even fewer awards in major awards.
Now C.P.C is once again promoting her to perform this "Stairway to Heaven", which means very clearly that this is her last chance. If Kim Tae-hee is careless and messes up, then I'm sorry, for a long time to come, she shouldn't fantasize about getting the same opportunity again, and the company's resources will be tilted towards others.
Kim Tae-hee is also very clear about this, don't look at the other female artists in the company every time they call "Ernie ~ Ernie ~" in front of her, in fact, they are not very convinced by her in their hearts, in terms of appearance and acting skills, they are not worse than her One or two, as long as there is a chance, they don't mind pulling Kim Tae-hee off the throne of the company's "first sister".
To tell the truth, if this woman is really ruthless, even men are afraid.
"Don't worry, little boss~~ I will definitely go all out this time, and I won't lose again!" Kim Tae-hee still has a charming smile on her face, she is proud by nature, and she has enough ambitions for her future acting career, how can she tolerate her failure again?
On the first day of getting the script, Kim Tae-hee threw herself into the speculation of the new role, and every day when she had free time, she would pull Xian Yu Eun-sook to discuss acting skills, and she was almost to the point of forgetting to sleep and eat, and she didn't even care about her boyfriend who had been dating for more than three years, and finally the two ended up breaking up peacefully.
Cui Zhenlong, who heard the news, laughed in his office for a full ten minutes, and almost raised his glass to celebrate, he didn't expect that there would be such an unexpected gain in this radical method he arranged. Well, if Kim Tae-hee knew that this little boss had such an attitude towards her love life, would he be so angry that he immediately proposed to terminate the contract with C.P.C. company?!
Of course, this is not to say that Choi Jin-ryong has any wrong thoughts about Kim Tae-hee himself, but simply stands in the interests of the company and does not want her to be distracted by emotional entanglements during the rise of her career. Although it was clear when the contract was signed, C.P.C. would not interfere in Kim Tae-hee's relationship, but it was artificial, and it was always good for the company to postpone her love and marriage for a few years.
This cannot be said to be the cold-blooded of Cui Zhenlong and C.P.C., but the positions of the two sides are different.
……
"Ai Yixi~~ This kid's movements are really slow!!" Cui Zhenlong stood under the shade of the tree, wiped the sweat drops on his forehead with a tissue in his hand, and complained a few words impatiently, this can't be helped, the hot and humid weather of more than 30 degrees, coupled with the blazing sunlight outside on the body as if walking into an oven, makes people feel a little unbearable, not to mention that this product has been drying for about forty minutes.
"It's coming~" Cui Zhenlong stood up and looked at the boy walking slowly in front of him. The boy looked about the same age as Cui Zhenlong, but his body was much thinner, carrying a schoolbag, staring at the ground with his head down, and walking forward step by step, without looking up at his surroundings even once.
"Xiuxian, hello~" Cui Jinlong took the initiative to say hello.
The boy looked up at him, responded with a "hello", and then lowered his head and walked on. Cui Zhenlong shrugged helplessly, he already knew about the other party's introverted personality, if it weren't for another purpose, a boy with such a personality, Cui Zhenlong wouldn't have bothered to take the initiative to get acquainted!
"Suhyun, are you going to Yonsei University today?"
"Well~~"
"Do you want water?"
"Thank you~"
"I'll get your schoolbag for you!"
"Thank you, no~"
……
Cui Zhenlong swore that in his life, except for his family and girlfriend Zheng Xiuyan, he had never been so patient and cared for any outsider, and the other party he meowed to was still a man! … All right! Who called this boy the "professor" who will be popular all over Southeast Asian countries in the future?
"In order to be able to recruit you, I'll endure it~~" Cui Zhenlong thought to himself.
