Chapter 803: Invitation to a New Drama; A little arrangement for the future
After talking about Lin Shuyan, Lin Jixiu talked to Zhang Chengyuan about work again.
"Boss, you have another TV series invitation today, I wonder if you are interested in taking it?" As he spoke, Lin Jisoo took out a script from the desk drawer and handed it to Jang Sung-won.
Zhang Chengyuan stretched out his hand to take it, opened it and watched it, but after only reading the title of the play, he asked: "Jisoo, won't this "Secret Garden" be the TV series that Sister Hailin just followed some time ago?" ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "Yes, Sister Hailin has been confirmed to be the female number one in this drama." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "As far as I know, the male lead of this drama seems to have been determined last month, why did you suddenly send me an invitation to star?" Could it be that the original male lead actor wants to quit the show, or the production company wants to change the male lead? ”
Lin Jixiu said: "The male number one in this drama was originally determined to be played by Zhang Helai, but a few days ago, for some reason, his agency suddenly said that he was going to withdraw from this drama, and the production company had no choice but to choose another male lead." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said with some displeasure: "In other words, the company wants me to be Zhang He's replacement?" "Although Zhang He is a very good actor, he is still a lot worse than him, so if he is asked to be a replacement for Zhang He, it will be a bit cheap.
Lin Zhixiu said: "Actually, I can't say the same, this production company also invited you when it first chose the male lead, just because you were filming the movie "Grand Prix" at the time, and you couldn't be sure when it would be completed, so you turned down all the invitations to star in film and television works, and this drama is one of them." After that, the company can't invite you. Only then did he invite Zhang He to star. So it should be said that Zhang He is your replacement. ”
Zhang Chengyuan nodded with some relief. Then I continued to read the script. He continued: "Do you know why Zhang He wants to quit this drama? ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "I haven't asked anyone to investigate this matter, so I don't know the truth very clearly, but I heard media reports that Zhang He's agency SidusHQ wanted to let other artists under it play an important role in this drama, but when they refused, they threatened to let Zhang He quit, which angered the company and terminated the cooperation with Zhang He." However, the strange thing is that the second female actor of this drama, Jin Sharon, is also an artist of SidusHQ. But it was not affected. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "What's so strange about this, it's just a fig leaf left by the company that doesn't want to completely fall out with SidusHQ." But is SidusHQ really stupid enough to think that a big company can do such a game-breaking thing? Oh, by the way, Jun Ji-hyun used to be this company, right? ”
Lim Ji-so said: "Yes, but at the beginning of this month, Jun Ji-hyun's contract with SidusHQ had expired, and I would have liked to invite her to join our company. But she may also be deeply affected by the surveillance of her by SidusHQ representatives last year, and is wary of all entertainment agencies. So he rejected our company. It is said that she is now starting to set up her own personal planning company. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "If there is a boss, there are employees, since the representatives of SidusHQ can let people listen to the phones of their artists, it is understandable that the employees of their company threaten the company." Well, our company should take this as a warning, strengthen the management of employees, if any employees also do this kind of thing that tarnishes the company's reputation, they will be fired immediately and held legally responsible. ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "Boss, don't worry, there is no such person in our company." ”
Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said: "Although there is no for the time being, but when the company grows stronger in the future, it may not be not, so there can be no slackness." Well, if you need to do this, you can ask my doppelganger to help, and my doppelganger is still good at reviewing people's hearts. ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "I understand that management and supervision in this area will be strengthened in the future." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "I'm bothering you about this." Well, Jisoo, how is the horse race I asked you to prepare some time ago? ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "With the help of your doppelganger, this matter is going smoothly, and the cooperation has been agreed with the Korean Horse Council, and the specific competition plan is currently being planned." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "When will the event start? ”
Lin Jixiu said: "It may not start until late September or later. ”
Zhang Chengyuan nodded and said, "Well, it's not slow, it's faster than I imagined." By the way, how is the post-production zuò of the Grand Prix? ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "It's about the same, but, boss, if you have time, go to the company's film production department a few more times, and use your good vision and foresight to help the editor cut out better movies." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said with some hesitation: "If I interfere in the post-production, I don't seem to have much respect for the editor and others?" Well, it's not in Hollywood after all, so I'll go and see it when I have time, lest the editor's ability not ruin the movie I worked so hard to make, and at the same time, you won't always worry about this movie. In this film, he is not just an actor, and many of his creative intentions are secretly told by director Liang Yunhao and asked him to carry them out.
Lin Zhixiu said: "If the boss is willing to put more effort into every aspect of this movie, then I don't need to worry about the movie losing money." ”
She only said that she would not lose money, but did not say that she wanted to make money, because a friendly horse racing match had already smashed nearly 10 billion won, and this movie would not make much money unless it had a box office of seven or eight million people. However, this is obviously unlikely, because a high box office of 7 or 8 million people usually ranks in the top three or even first place in the Korean box office list every year.
And Jang Sung-won never thought of making money from this movie, and even planned to lose money, he only hoped that film critics, the media and the audience could recognize Kim Tae-hee's acting skills, and by the way, let the box office of this movie reach three or four million. This not only helped Kim Tae-hee, so that she no longer had to bear the reputation of "box office poison", but also did not lose too much.
After listening to Lin Zhixiu's words, Zhang Chengyuan shook his head and said, "I don't know if it's a good thing for me to let you be in charge of all my industries?" You seem to be getting more and more interested in profit, and if you continue like this, you will become more and more tired. ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "I also want to treat money as a plaything like the boss, and I don't take it seriously, but I don't have the superb money-making skills like you, so I have to make hard-earned money in a down-to-earth manner, otherwise all the companies under your name will be bankrupt by me sooner or later." She was a bit self-effacing in her statement.
After a pause, she added: "Boss, if you are worried that I will be tired, you can take a little time to deal with the company's business, or let your doppelganger be responsible for more of the industry under your name, so that I can be more leisurely." ”
Zhang Chengyuan was a little embarrassed and said: "You know that I am not interested in this kind of thing, and it is rare to have some leisure time, how can I spend time on these mundane affairs?" However, don't worry, I will let my doppelgangers Xiao Yuan and Li Yuansi share some more things for you. Well, in this case, the security company that is in preparation will be handed over to Li Yuansi, you don't need to worry too much, just ask occasionally, and Xiao Yuan will be in charge of the 'one yuan' beverage company. As for the rest, please continue to bear with me. ”
Lin Zhixiu said: "Boss, don't you have other clones, why don't you let them come out to help?" It makes it easier for me. ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "I currently have a total of five clones, but except for Xiao Yuan and Li Yuansi, I'm afraid the other three won't be able to help you for the time being." For example, Zheng Yuanyin, his identity is a singer, and he has always been very busy, you can't let him sit in the office and handle the company's business, right? Of course, it's okay to occasionally incarnate in another appearance and secretly do something to find out the news.
And the doppelganger Yu Yuanwu I just got some time ago, his purpose is to do that kind of thing with Han Yise, Kong Xianzhu and others, to help me eliminate some of my desires, although it is quite idle for the time being, I don't want to arrange any specific identity for him, responsible for some specific affairs. As for the last doppelganger, Jin Yuansi, he is now Sister Taixi's private property, and I can't command it, so I can't help you much.
Well, Jisoo, I guess instead of counting on me or my doppelganger to help you, you might as well have your sisters help, like Jihyun, isn't she doing pretty well at the clothing company right now? You find a reason to promote her, let her take charge sooner, so that in a few years, she may be able to help you a lot.
There are other sisters, and you can also ask them to help with some of the things that interest them. You must know that my sisters are all talents, as long as you guide and cultivate them a little, then it is absolutely no problem to help you deal with some business things in your spare time. And they will quit the entertainment industry sooner or later, it is impossible to be an artist for the rest of their lives, take advantage of their youth at this time, let them have more contact with other industries, so when they quit the entertainment industry, they will not feel that they will know anything, and they will be confused or overwhelmed. ”
Lin Zhixiu smiled and said with a slight surprise: "Boss, you really think far enough." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "How can I not consider this kind of thing? You know, I owe so much to them. Of course, the same is true for you. ”
Lin Zhixiu smiled: "Then boss, how will you arrange for me in the future?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan smiled and said: "Arrange for you to be my full-time housekeeper, and when you get tired of business things, you will retire and follow me, cook for me every day, walk with me, chat, and plant flowers and plants." ”
Lin Zhixiu imagined it for a moment and said, "When you get old, it seems quite comfortable to do these things again." ”
Zhang Chengyuan said: "Of course you have to be comfortable, in this life, you can't be busy and tired all your life, how can you enjoy your old age in peace." It's a pity that some people are stupid to death, obviously they have been eating and wearing all their lives, but they are tired of themselves in order to make more money, and I, Zhang Chengyuan, can't do such a stupid thing. Jisoo, what do you say? His words seemed to mean something else.
Lin Zhixiu thought for a moment and said, "Boss, are you trying to persuade me not to make money for the sake of making money?" ”
Zhang Chengyuan smiled: "It's okay for you to understand it like this." (To be continued......)
