Chapter 45: The Son Ye-jin Incident

Even though he is now wearing a brand-new dress and is about to enter the wedding hall with the beautiful lady who has been thinking about him for a long time, Liu Zaishi still has the illusion of being in a dream...

Back then, he was young and frivolous, thinking that with his talent in comedy, he would definitely have a chance to get ahead, but the cruel reality gave him a blow to the head! What can it be like to be talented? What about capability? has no opportunities, no connections, and delusionally wants to rely on the strength of one person to fight alone in the highly competitive environment of the entertainment industry, how difficult it is.

After nearly ten years of being in the entertainment industry, just when he felt that he was about to give up, a teenager appeared beside him without warning, like an angel sent by God to save him, which not only reshaped his confidence in the future, but also brought him the most desired but unavailable development opportunity.

And in the next few years, he was like the hero in the novel, and his whole life took a 180-degree turn, first he successfully signed a contract with C.P.C, and then invitations to various variety shows also came, the glory of "X-MAN" completely laid the cornerstone of his future entertainment career, and the title of "National MC" was like a crown of kings buckled on his head...

He has gone from being an insignificant and struggling funny artist at the bottom to one of the top levels of the entertainment industry, even the officials of the TV Variety Show Bureau will give him three points of thin face.

This is not some alarmism, but a fact!

Top MCs are scarce resources, except for Jin Jidong and Jiang Hudong in this field. belongs to him, Liu Zaishi is the best. In addition, the brokerage company behind it is a strong master. And extremely protective of the short, if someone from the TV station does not open his eyes and violates his fundamental interests of Liu Zaishi, not to mention whether I will not do it because of this, I am afraid that C.P.C will have to take the lead in jumping out and working against these people.

This is not just a rhetorical statement, but there is a precedent!

When Son Ye-jin took over the filming of the love ethics drama "Going Out", a director of the production company BlueStorm relied on his identity as a film investor and pestered her in every way. Although the agent intervened with him, the director ignored him, continued to go his own way, and even used threats to force him to comply.

If this kind of thing happened to the artists of other entertainment companies, maybe the executives of these companies would turn a blind eye in order not to offend BlueStorm, and even put pressure behind their backs to make their company's artists give in and compromise, anyway, such similar things are not a new thing in the entertainment industry. can make a good deal with a powerful film production company at the minimum cost, and this kind of business is a sure deal.

Originally, the director had the same mentality. thinks that playing with a female star or something is like pinching a snail with three fingers, which is a sure thing, and there will be no accidents, but he just ran into an alternative company like C.P.C. that does not play cards according to common sense.

When Son Ye-jin's experience was reported back to the company's headquarters, Lee Mi-na, who had just taken office and became the actual helmsman of C.P.C., didn't say a word, and immediately went to the crew of "Going Out", and in front of everyone's eyes, signed a check for liquidated damages and threw it on the director's face, and then took Son Ye-jin and a group of people away.

Of course, this matter is not over, just as BlueStorm's executives are discussing coping strategies, C.P.C's follow-up actions are already in full swing!

On the morning of the next day, they took the lead in issuing a statement saying that due to Son Ye-jin's health, they would withdraw from the follow-up filming of the movie "Going Out", and then C.P Film and Television Company also issued a statement that all cooperation involving BlueStorm was suspended.

Finally, even Ningyuan Group's cinema investment and operation company "Times Cinema" also issued a notice in the whole industry, the content is that due to the poor attendance rate of the film works invested or participated in by BlueStorm, the company's follow-up works will no longer be scheduled...

As soon as this move came out, the entire entertainment industry was in an uproar, as long as you are not a fool, you can see that this is a unilateral blocking action led by C.P.C. against BlueStorm. But what is more interesting is that what kind of dirty things did BlueStorm do to attract C.P.C. to spend so much effort and so drastic means, this is purely a way to hurt others and hurt themselves, and both sides lose!

Soon, the truth of the matter spread in the entertainment industry, and people who heard the news for the first time felt incredible. At the same time, I was also shocked by the generosity and courage of C.P.C. company, especially those artists, they never thought that there would be a brokerage company that could do such a degree for their artists, and then compared to their own company, many people chose to be silent, they were envious of Son Ye-jin at the same time, but also secretly decided that they must join C.P.C when they have the opportunity in the future, this is the agency that really has a conscience and can be relied on with confidence.

BlueStorm, on the other hand, was overwhelmed by the series of blows, and the director who caused the incident was directly held accountable and expelled from the board, but all this was not enough to quell the anger of the C.P.C. side, and the relationship between the two sides remained strained.

At this critical juncture, Bae Yongjun, the actor of "Going Out", stepped forward, the big star who is good at drilling, seems to see an opportunity to befriend two companies at the same time, and under his multi-party running and matchmaking, the two companies C.P.C and BlueStorm finally sat back at the negotiating table after more than a month of stalemate.

After some mutual bargaining between the two parties, the C.P.C finally agreed that Son Ye-jin would return to the crew of "Going Out" to continue filming, while BlueStorm would have to pay another fee while returning the liquidated damages, which was regarded as Son Ye-jin's "shock fee".

In the eyes of most people, in the "Son Ye-jin incident", the two companies are actually losers, no one took any big advantage, but lost a lot, the real big winner is Bae Yongjun, the role he played in this matter made him even more ruthless in the entertainment industry, and his status has risen a lot compared to before.

But is it really the way everyone thinks? Apparently not so!

It wasn't until the filming of the movie "Going Out" was completed and it entered the publicity and distribution stage that BlueStorm suddenly realized that something was wrong, after they reconciled with C.P.C, they all thought that C.P Film and Television and "Times Cinemas" had also revoked the ban on BlueStorm at the same time, but now it seems that this is not the case, and "Times Cinemas" is still valid for them!

The president of BlueStorm called Li Meina angrily and asked for an explanation, but the latter's answer made him almost vomit blood in anger, what is called "Times Cinemas" is not affiliated with C.P.C, so they have no right to interfere with the other party's business methods... The whole of South Korea knows that "Times Cinemas" is a subsidiary of Ningyuan Group, and Ningyuan Group and C.P.C Company both belong to the Cui family's industry, that is to say, they are all raised by the same mother and are real brother companies. If it weren't for this relationship, would "Times Cinemas" block BlueStorm for no reason? Li Meina is completely talking nonsense with her eyes open!

Seeing that the publicity plan is about to be launched, but the problem of the theater chain has not been completely solved, BlueStorm really wants to be ruthless, directly give up the "Times Cinema Line" and concentrate on cooperating with CGV, but as long as they think that the former holds the scale of more than 60 theaters and is the second largest theater company in South Korea, their attitude will be completely softened in an instant, no matter how unhappy and unwilling they are, they will not really get along with money.
