"Sister Huiqiao, are you going to go out?"

Song Hye Kyo's words were a bit ridiculous that Xiahou Zhongying was not very responsible and rarely came to the company, but the relationship between the two was very good, so Xiahou Zhongying didn't care and asked with a smile.

"Today I'm going to shoot a set of print ads for an endorsement company."

"Hmm." Xiahou Zhongying nodded and said, "We haven't eaten together for a long time, right, if there is nothing to do in the evening, call Sister Xiaoli and Sister Zhixian to get together together?" ”

"Let's talk about it depending on the situation, if the advertising shooting goes well, it will naturally not let you go." Song Hye Kyo smiled and raised her hand to look at the watch in her hand, and quickly said, "Don't talk about it yet, I have to go, otherwise I'll be late." ”

Song Hye Kyo just left in a hurry, and then Kim Hee Woo came out in a hurry.

Jin Xiyou is now a small shareholder and president of ZX Entertainment, a subsidiary of ZX Group's banner artists, and in addition to his own one-third of an acre, he has the right to observe, suggest, and vote on the affairs of the group company, but he has no right to decide. However, in ZXStarhaus Entertainment, his rights have not been weakened too much, and the main rights are still in his own hands, but the development strategy he has formulated needs to be reported to the group company and approved by the group's upper management.

Compared with opening his own company, although there are a few more gods on his head, Jin Xiyou has no dissatisfaction, on the contrary, he is very satisfied with his current life and work. Not only can you get a large amount of dividends from the company every year, but as more and more big-name artists are poached by the group company to join ZXStarhausEntertainment. Although he is only the president of a subsidiary of the group, he is also qualified to be on an equal footing with many top artist company owners in South Korea, this kind of treatment is not the same as when he was the boss of a small company before, what else can he not be satisfied with?

At the beginning, his company was so depressed that he couldn't even pay the water and electricity bills, and was almost forced to cut off water and electricity, or even close down. However, since the company merged into the ZX Group, everything has changed. He knew who gave everything today, so after hearing that Xiahou Zhongying came to the door in person, he hurriedly greeted him.

After meeting, Xiahou Zhongying introduced Xia Wanqing's identity. Although Jin Xiyou doesn't know much about the situation in the Chinese entertainment industry. However, the first-class entertainment companies in the Chinese entertainment industry still know what to do. He hadn't heard of the name of Xia Wanqing's company, and he thought that her company would not be too famous in the Chinese entertainment circle, at most it belonged to the category of second-rate companies, but he didn't dare to slack off because of this. Chairman Nengde and Minister Guo, who is secretly rumored to be the president's lover, came forward to accompany the people who visited the ZX Group. Identity is not necessarily simple.

Guo Rongrong's status is very special in the ZX Group. Although the position is not low. However, the position of the head of the Foreign Propaganda Department is still a cut behind that of several giants and Li Haoying. However, the entire company, including Ko Yun-ho and Lee Ho-young. didn't dare to offend her, she was polite when facing her, and the reason for this was self-evident, naturally she had been living in Xiahou's house for many years.

Although on the surface, she and Xiahou Zhongying do not have a deep relationship, but whether this is the case or not, everyone does not dare to delve into it. So when Xiahou Zhongying was away, she was naturally regarded by everyone in the company as his agent, and her status was no worse than Lee Hyo-ri and Zheng Xiuyan, and even surpassed.

Although Lee Hyo-ri and Zheng Xiu-yeon are godsisters and god-brothers and sisters with Xiahou Zhongying, Zheng Xiuyan has a soft spot for him. However, before she became Xiahou Zhongying's woman, in the eyes of the company's employees, her status was at best an outsider to Xiahou Family, and naturally it was not as heavy as the rumored Xiahou Zhongying's lover.

During the visit to ZXStarhaus Entertainment, it was natural that the president Kim Hee-woo would be the tour guide and narrator. Everyone first visited the office environment of the subsidiary, and then met the artists who stayed in the company without an itinerary.

The biggest artists of the ZX Group now are none other than Lee Hyo-ri and Song Hye Kyo, as well as Lee Joon-gi. Lee Joon-gi joined ZX Group in the second half of this year, and for this reason, he also fought a lawsuit with the original brokerage company mentor Entertainment and went to court.

The reason is that Mentor Entertainment has been in arrears with Lee Joon-gi's due remuneration for a long time, and because Mentor Entertainment has not paid taxes on time, his property has been seized by the relevant government agencies.

Lee Joon-gi has tried to negotiate with Mentor Entertainment on several occasions to resolve the conflict, but Mentor Entertainment has not only refused to negotiate with him, but has also obstructed his acting activities many times.

Li Zhun Gene has cooperated with ZX Group, and has always been in contact with Xiahou Zhongying, and will text or call each other to congratulate each other on festivals or when he has achieved something, and he has a good impression of ZX Group.

Just when Lee Joon-gi was very angry about Mentor Entertainment's behavior, Lee Ho-young heard the news that he and Mentor Entertainment had a very unpleasant quarrel from Xiahou Zhongying, and immediately suggested that he be poached. Of course, Xiahou Zhongying will not have an opinion on this.

After that, Lee Ho-young extended an olive branch to Lee Joon-gi, and the two sides hit it off, and Lee Joon-gi immediately unilaterally took the initiative to terminate the agreement with Mentor Entertainment. Mentor Entertainment was not happy about this, and the contract they signed with Lee Joon-gi in May 2004 included the condition that they could not sign contracts with any other company or third party for five years, so they sued him in court and claimed 500 million won from him.

The wealthy ZX Group originally wanted to help Lee Joon-gi pay this fee and settle the matter directly, but Lee Joon-gi felt that mentor Entertainment had breached the contract first, and was unwilling to be humiliated, and would rather fight a lawsuit than compensate.

This incident once caused a stir in South Korea, and after the most scandal, Xiahou Zhongying thought that continuing to make trouble would affect the company's image, so he settled out of court with Mentor Entertainment under the mediation of the court, and paid a termination fee to end the matter.

In addition to the above three big names. There are also many first-line or quasi-first-line artists like Jin Yazhong in ZX Group, all of whom were poached by Li Haoying from other companies, or took the initiative to jump ship after their contracts expired.

Here I have to mention Xiahou Zhongying's credit, it is precisely because of the more generous treatment and humanized management he has formulated than other companies to give his artists that the reputation of ZX Group is very good in the Korean entertainment circle, attracting many artists whose contracts have expired to take the initiative to come to the door, hoping to sign a contract with ZX Group.

Among these artists, there are many of them whose original companies have offered more generous contract extensions than ZX Group in order to retain them. But they can't compare with ZX Group, which has its own film and television department, and also maintains a good relationship with the three major Korean TV stations. Whether it is a movie or TV series that is invested and filmed by itself, it will give priority to its own artists. The three major TV stations also give more or less preferential treatment to the artists under the ZX Group.

Artists need to maintain enough exposure to maintain their fame and not be caught up and surpassed by rising stars. Compared to a slightly more lucrative contract than ZX Group, it is more attractive to them to be able to use ZX Group's platform to increase the frequency of exposure and further enhance their popularity.

And the most critical thing is. ZX Group expands into Hollywood. In the future film that the company invested in shooting. will inevitably push his artists to the world by the way. No matter how many Korean artists jump, at most they are bouncing in Korea and Asia, and there are very few who can go to the world. And those who went to the world and made a name for themselves, it can be said that there is no one. Despite this, breaking into Hollywood is still unmatched in the attraction of Korean artists, and it is only natural that they will flock to ZX Group.

Because of this, many entertainment companies in South Korea hate Xiahou Zhongying and ZX Group very much, but they feel very helpless about them. And in order to prevent their artists from being poached, they had to follow the trend and increase their share ratio.

Xiahou Zhongying's decision is equivalent to indirectly changing the degree of oppression of artists in the Korean entertainment industry. In this regard, not only most artists have a good impression of ZX Group, but even the Ministry of Culture of South Korea, which is very dissatisfied and helpless with many brokerage companies in the Korean entertainment industry using slave contracts to oppress their artists, is also very happy and has a good impression of ZX Group, which promotes this change.

In addition, ZX Group has done a good job in public relations, and it has a more or less unclear relationship with many senior officials and parliamentarians, so it is natural that the Ministry of Culture's policy is tilted towards ZX Group. And this is the basis for ZX Group to move forward and expand at a faster speed.

Those who dug up, took the initiative to jump ship, plus the rookie artists cultivated by ZX Group itself, such as the fat man Gu Junxian, Lee Min Ho, Kim Ji Yong, Choi Eun-rui, Li Lixiu, etc., the existing artists of ZX Group have reached 48 people, and if you count the trainees, there are almost 200 people, which can be described as a star-sparkling and talent-rich people.

During the visit, under Xiahou Zhongying's instructions, although Jin Xiyou was puzzled, he still gave Xia Wanqing a detailed explanation of the operation methods and operation mode of ZXStarhaus Entertainment according to his requirements.

While Xia Wanqing sighed at the super strength of the ZX Group, she also admired their operation mode very much, and even couldn't help but record what she saw and heard in front of everyone in the notebook. And Xiahou Zhongying turned a blind eye to Xia Wanqing's behavior. The rest of the ZX Group wanted to come forward to remind Xiahou Zhongying, but they were secretly stopped by Guo Rongrong.

When you visit the artist subsidiary, you will naturally meet the artists of the ZX Group. The more artists Xia Wanqing saw, the more strange the expression on her face became, and in the end, she couldn't help but ask Xiahou Zhongying in a low voice with curiosity: "Zhongying, have you found a strange phenomenon. ”

"What phenomenon?"

"The artists in your company are all very beautiful, but they all seem to look the same, and many of them look similar, and no one will believe them if they are sisters."

Xiahou Zhongying laughed a few times and said, "You should have heard that plastic surgery is popular in Korea, but you may not know how serious the plastic surgery trend in Korea is." Most parents give their daughters a dowry that is the cost of plastic surgery. In the Korean entertainment industry, no matter what company it is, when signing a trainee contract with a trainee, there is an agreement to accept plastic surgery according to the company's arrangement before debut, and our company is no exception. ”

As she spoke, Xiahou Zhongying couldn't help but be overjoyed, and continued: "There are so many templates for plastic surgery, such as women, Han Jiaren's nose, Sister Tae-hee's eyes, Sister Hyo-ri's breasts, and Park Han-be, Son Ye-jin, Sister Hye Kyo, Shen Yinhe, etc. are the most chosen plastic surgery models for Korean women. In cosmetic surgery hospitals, the most common scene is when someone takes a picture of these celebrities and says, 'I want to have the same nose as her,' or 'follow her eyes.'" In this way, after plastic surgery comes out, it is naturally normal to hit your face. It can be said that the handsome men and beauties in South Korea are printed in so many molds. ”

Xia Wanqing almost fainted, and was speechless for a while. She had heard that plastic surgery in South Korea was very heavy, but she didn't expect it to be so heavy.

Li Rongdao couldn't help but sigh for a while, Ha Luha smiled, and said, "I have also heard of these things. I've also heard that many Korean male stars' sons and daughters are ugly, and being ridiculed may not be their own species. I believe that it should be their own, because their current appearance is almost all cosmetic, and it is natural that they are not like their children. ”

The three chatted in Chinese, and Jin Xiyou, who accompanied Xia Wanqing and Li Rongdao on the tour, and several leaders of ZXStarhaus Entertainment could not understand it, except for Guo Rongrong. After several years of hard study and communicating with the people of Xiahou's family in Chinese every day, her current Chinese level is very high, and it is no problem to pass the second class. Zhang Liyi has praised her Chinese several times for speaking very standard, saying that even if she communicates with Chinese now, if it were not for someone who knew her in advance, it would be normal to see her as Chinese.

After listening to the chat between the three of them, Guo Rongrong was a little ashamed. Because she herself has gone to plastic surgery, and the template used for plastic surgery happens to be Han Ga-in's nose, Kim Tae-hee's eyes, and Lee Hyo-ri's chest.

"President Kim, go ahead and introduce." After laughing for a while, Xiahou Zhongying realized that Guo Rongrong was unnatural, and immediately felt a little embarrassed. Although she knew that she was very loyal to herself and was not worried that she would leak these words, in any case, it was also very rude to laugh at people from their country in front of her, so she quickly changed the topic.
