Chapter 708: Something
After chatting about his plan that he couldn't say to outsiders, Zhang Chengyuan asked Lin Zhixiu what important things happened during this time, of course, it was just something related to him, and he still didn't bother to pay attention to other people's affairs.
And during this time, a few more important things happened that were related to him.
1. On February 16, on the night when Zhang Chengyuan took a flight to the United States, the "Strong Heart" he participated in and recorded was broadcast on SBS TV, which immediately attracted widespread attention and heated controversy. Although JSW has been prepared for a long time and invested a lot of money to guide public opinion, it has also achieved good results, maintaining and stabilizing Zhang Chengyuan's image and popularity, but there are still many anti who have begun to hype Zhang Chengyuan's "cowardly" character and plastic surgery.
I don't know if this continues, will there be many people who like to believe rumors, especially some foreign people, who also think that Jang Sung-won is a member of South Korea's huge celebrity plastic surgery team? And in this case, it will inevitably have an impact on Zhang Chengyuan's popularity overseas.
2. On February 24, the third largest shareholder of S.M., Japan Aihui Entertainment Co., Ltd., announced that it had sold all 16.9% of the shares held by S.M. Company. The buyers were Lee so-man, the largest shareholder of S.M., and Neowizbugs, an online music service. JSW had been interested in buying these shares for a long time, but missed the opportunity because it didn't get any news in advance.
3. On the afternoon of February 25, Lee so-man resigned as a director of S.M. and will no longer be in charge of the operation of SM in the future, but will devote himself to overseas business and artist training.
Fourth, the end of February. The first film produced by JSW was released with "26 Years" starring Kim Ya-jung. Due to the avoidance of blockbusters. The content of the movie is very topical, and the shooting is reasonable and exquisite, so the box office is quite good, and it has exceeded 3.5 million people so far, achieving profitability, and there is still some room for growth.
5. The 46th South Korea Baeksang Art Awards was held on March 26, and Jang Sung-won was shortlisted for the Best Actor Award and Popularity Award in the film and TV categories respectively with the movie "My Love by My Side" and the TV series "IRIS" starring last year. It's a pity that he only won one Best Actor Award in the TV category.
Although many media and fans have complained about him, the result cannot be changed after all. I don't know if the organizers thought he won too many awards last year, and they didn't want to give him any more honors, so as to show that he was unique and not attached to the mainstream.
However, Ha Ji Won another Best Actress Award in the movie category, and Lim Yoona won a TV Popularity Award, which is also a comfort for Jang Sung-won.
Sixth, Kim Tae-hee's brokerage contract with Namooactors has expired, and Lim Ji-so has asked her to sign a contract several times, but to no avail. So this matter has to be solved by Zhang Chengyuan himself.
7. South Korean superstar Jang Dong Jian will hold a wedding with actress Gao Xiaoying at the Shilla Hotel in Seoul on May 2, and sent an invitation to Jang Sung-won. He was invited to bring his girlfriend Cheng Youli to attend.
Originally, with the very general relationship between Zhang Chengyuan and Zhang Dongjian, Zhang Dongjian would not invite Zhang Chengyuan. It's just because Zhang Chengyuan said openly at last year's Blue Dragon Awards. hopes that Zhang Dongjian can invite him to attend the wedding, and he is now a figure in the entertainment industry, so Zhang Dongjian, who has always been a humble person, will send him this invitation. So this invitation can be regarded as the fulfillment of Zhang Chengyuan's wish.
8. The contract between the popular actress Park Min Young, whom Jang Sung-won previously followed, and her agency will expire next month, but she has now reached a verbal agreement with JSW to join JSW after the contract expires. It is said that there is also the credit of Jang Sung-won's good sister and Park Min-young's friend Jung so-yeon.
And Park Bo-young, another young actress that Zhang Chengyuan is concerned about, officially broke out with her agency at the beginning of this month, and asked Lin Jisoo for help according to the phone number on the business card that Zhang Chengyuan left her before - I don't know if it was Zhang Sungwon's previous promise to her that made her determined to confront the agency.
Lin Ji-so had already received Jang Sung-won's orders, so he naturally immediately helped, and at this time, the two heads of the artist management department and the legal department of JSW were following up on the matter and helping Park Baoying terminate the contract peacefully with his agency. Among them, JSW will inevitably pay a certain price, but it is worth it to get a promising actress like Park Bo-young.
……
There are a lot of things that are important and important, but there are some things that you don't need to worry about, and there are some things that need to be discussed again, such as Kim Tae-hee's contract.
Jang Sung-won asked, "Jisoo, did Sister Tae-hee tell you this time why she didn't sign a contract with our company?" ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "I asked her, but she didn't say. However, she didn't say that she would definitely not sign with me, and as far as I know, she is not in contact with any agency for the time being. So I thought, does Sister Taixi want you to talk to her about this in person? Maybe she has a special request that you need to observe? ”
"What special requirements can there be?"
Lin Zhixiu said: "How do I know this? I'm just guessing, maybe it's a private affair between you? Uh, boss, you will deal with this matter in the future, I can't persuade Sister Taixi! ”
Zhang Chengyuan responded: "Okay, Zhilu Dao, I'll go to her tomorrow to talk about this matter." Also, don't worry, I will definitely sign her, and I will never let your efforts during this time be in vain. ”
Lin Zhixiu was slightly stunned, and said in his heart: "It seems that you are doing me a favor." ”
However, she naturally wouldn't argue with Zhang Chengyuan about this, and said casually: "Then I'll wait for your good news boss." "With Kim Tae-hee's status and influence in the entertainment industry, especially in the advertising industry, if he joins JSW, it will be good news for JSW.
After saying this, Jang Sung-won discussed with Lin Ji-so about things related to S.M. Company.
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Zhixiu, Ai Hui Company is a cooperative company of S.M. Company in Japan, and the relationship between the two has always been good. Do you know why this company would suddenly sell off their stake in S.M.? ”
Lin Zhixiu shook his head and said, "I didn't find out about this." But I think it may have a little to do with TVXQ's Kim Jae-joong, Park Youtian, and Kim Jun-so. Because at the beginning of this month, they announced through Ai Hui that they would cease their activities related to TVXQ. They will go it alone, and a week ago their agency announced that the three of them have formed a new singer group, JYJ, and have signed an exclusive contract with Ai Hui to operate in Japan. ”
Zhang Chengyuan pondered for a while and said: "Maybe it really has something to do with them, maybe they are the fuse of the conflict between Ai Hui Company and S.M. Company, uh, no matter what." What I really regret is that we didn't take a stake in S.M from this incident. ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "Boss, it's my fault. I did not pay close attention to the matter. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "What does this have to do with you, there is no warning in advance of this matter, if it were me, I would never notice this, so how can I blame you?" Well, how many shares does Li Xiuman have now, and how many shares does Neo and Neo have? Why is the name of this bird company so awkward? ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "It's Neowizbugs, which has about 12% of the shares, and Li Xiuman took back 4.9% of the shares from Ai Hui this time, plus he has also bought back some shares from the stock market in the past few months. Now there is a total of 34.5%. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "In other words, even if we buy all 12% of Neowizbugs. With our original 21.7%, we can't become the largest shareholder of S.M. anymore? Is this guy really afraid that I will rob his company? ”
Lin Zhixiu smiled slightly: "S.M. company is his hard work for more than ten years, can he not be afraid?" ”
"But where did he get so much spare money to buy so many shares?" After a rough calculation, Li Xiuman took out at least five or six billion yuan in cash this time. As far as he knows, most of Li Xiuman's assets are fixed assets, and it is not easy to come up with so much cash at once.
Lin Zhixiu said: "He has such a wide network, plus bank loans, he can always get this money." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Then he is quite courageous." However, Jisoo, why do you think he is resigning from the board of directors of S.M. this time? ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "Whether he has a position or not, in fact, it has no impact on him, and it has no impact on S.M. Company, I think S.M. Company will still have the final say in the future." He may have done so just to show shareholders that he was responsible for the company's misguided strategy during this time. However, I am afraid that after a while, he will return to his original position through other means. ”
Zhang Chengyuan nodded and said, "Actually, S.M. Company is really indispensable to him, even if we control S.M. Company, we need him to contribute." ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "If the boss is willing to take over his work, I don't think we need to rely on him, I believe that with the boss's talent, he will definitely do better than him." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "I don't have this idle time, my own company is too lazy to take care of it, and will I do things for S.M. company?" Don't even think about it. ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "In this case, we don't need to get control of the S.M. company, lest he may be upset and take away his right-hand men and start anew, so that we have to take over the S.M. company in full, and you have to come forward in person, boss!" ”
If it really comes to that time, for the sake of Girls' Generation, f(x), Lee Yunxi, Gao Yala and others, it will be impossible for Jang Sung-won to ignore S.M. Company after all.
Zhang Chengyuan said: "That old guy is almost 60 years old, how can he be so impulsive?" Anyway, for Sunny's sake, we really don't need to push him too hard. He was actually really afraid that Li Xiuman would pick his son and leave, he really didn't want to take over Li Xiuman's work, saying that it was for Sunny's sake, just to give himself a step down.
Lin Jixiu asked, "What about the shares owned by Neowizbugs, should we find a way to buy them?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan said casually: "Acquisition, why don't you buy, anyway, it can't exceed Li Xiuman's shares." Come to think of it, as long as I didn't steal the throne of his first shareholder, he would always do his best to manage S.M. Company. ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "It's hard to say, maybe he has long been prevented from concentrating on his work by our constant acquisition of shares in S.M. Company." ”
Zhang Chengyuan thought for a while and said, "You have a point, so you just say hello to him, saying that my purpose is just to better protect my sisters, and I have no interest in his position." ”
Lin Zhixiu smiled: "He's just afraid that he won't believe it, but he may be more suspicious?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan also smiled: "Whether he believes it or not, we can fulfill our intentions." Well, actually, I want to give an explanation to Sunny, I used to think that Sunny was my sister, and I forgot that she was still Li Xiuman's niece, so I never felt embarrassed to fight with her uncle. ”
"Aren't you still without one?"
"Didn't I already plan to show him some affection tonight?" He said cheekily. (To be continued......)
