When Zixi gets the news of the new film role of "Summit Company", she happens to be in Los Angeles to promote and prepare for a concert at "L.A. StaplesCenter", and eats at a Chinese restaurant in Chinatown.

Kwon Ji-hoon happily answered the phone and told Zi-hee the news, adding that the film's director Catherine Hardwick and producer Mark Morgan wanted to meet him.

When Rain heard the news, he immediately congratulated Zixi, and there was no envy or jealousy in his tone. Although he was involved in the Warner Bros. Pictures United Village

In the filming of the film "Speed Racer" produced by Roadshow Films, it is a pity that he only played a small supporting role in it, taking advantage of his huge popularity in Asia to open up the Asian market.

Compared to Zixi, Rain feels that he is much inferior. Although the popularity in South Korea is super high, the status of singers in the Korean people is never as high as that of actors, especially movie actors. Looking at the many famous singers, for the sake of the future, the basic university elective subjects are all related to movies or actors. Because only through professional learning and training can they embark on a path that truly stands on the top stars of Korean showbiz.

Rain is playing concerts in the United States, and he certainly knows how much resistance he will face here. It's not that the host of American TV is used to make fun of it, and it can only be stuffed in my heart, and I don't even dare to lose my temper. Because of his stage name, he was sued by an American band, stating that the name "Rain" could not be used in concerts, and even several concerts had to be canceled. All kinds of treatment fully show that Americans are xenophobic about foreign culture, and Rain still thinks that singers who are popular in Asia make many Americans look down on them.

These are all revealed when the depressed Rain vents his bitterness to Zixi during the meal. Because he has received the accuracy of the message, Nevada, USA "Rain."

The corporation is preparing to file an application in U.S. federal court to prohibit the use of fake disposition, and it is likely that the U.S. tour of "Rain's Coming" will be cancelled. It is even possible that even the stage name "Rain" may not be used again. If he can't even keep his stage name, how will Rain continue to mix in this circle in the future?

Zixi really didn't know how to comfort Rain, as a friend, he should have said some words of encouragement and cheering, but these were all illusory and useless, because when it came to the culture between the two countries, no one could tell. For many Americans, Rain is a cultural invasion of the United States, trying to spread the culture of this small place of Korea to the great United States, which will never be allowed. The arrogance of the Americans, like the rigidity of the British, has been deeply rooted in the bones at all, and will not change because of such and such an actor or such and such a singer.

And most of the reason why Zixi was able to succeed in the United States and Hollywood is because he grew up in the United States, and he still has the rank of second lieutenant in the Air Guard Reserve of the United States National Guard, and his mother is a native of the United States, and he also holds important public offices. For various reasons, the Americans regard him as their own, and they simply distinguish him from outsiders like Rain. This is also the biggest difference between Zixi and Rain, and it is also Zixi's biggest advantage.

"And what are you going to do now? Let those people sue you? Zixi asked as she poured Rain a cup of oolong tea imported from China.

"What's the solution?" Rain took a sip and replied, "This matter has been negotiated through the record company here in the United States, and I hope it can be resolved satisfactorily, otherwise, I will really be sorry for the fans who bought concert tickets." ”

"Do you need me to help you?" Zixi looked at Rain a little lost, and couldn't help asking: "Although I don't know any important figures in the American music scene, I think the seniors should know some of them, and through their mediation, it should be possible to solve it." ”

"No need." Rain shook his head and refused, "This is the first time, but it won't be the last time, I can't solve it through you every time, right?" I appreciate your kindness. I wish I could face it on my own, and that's a challenge for me. Even if I meet again in the future, I won't be as hesitant as I am now. ”

"Hmmm! That's fine. Don't forget, though, that we are friends. What are friends used for? In addition to drinking with you when you are bored, we are still able to help each other. Zixi raised the teacup in his hand and saluted with tea instead of wine.

"Thank you!" Rain drank the cup of tea in one gulp.

"I heard that your contract with JYP has expired, how are you going to do it in the future?" Zixi asked as she diverted the subject.

"I've already thought about it, and I'm ready to set up my own agency company and record company, and I've also talked to Brother Zhenying."

Zixi looked at Rain's eyes that had regained her confidence and said, "Then Park Jinying's seniors are willing to let you go?" ”

Rain said: "Brother Zhenying also knows that I have made up my mind, so he hopes to continue to cooperate with me, and the agent company and record company I set up in the future can continue to maintain a strategic cooperative relationship with JYP, and Brother Zhenying also hopes that JYP will also have a certain stake in the company." ”

Zixi smiled and said, "Aren't you afraid that JYP will swallow your company?" ”

Seeing Zixi's smile, Rain also showed a knowing smile and said, "So I came to you today!" Would you like to work with me? ”

"Cooperation?" Zixi asked dispensably: "What kind of cooperation method?" ”

"I plan to learn from Pei Yongjun's predecessors and enter the securities market by acquiring a listed company and using a roundabout listing method." Rain seems to have already made a plan, and said, "Through the acquisition, I can have a platform ready for development, and in the future, I can explore more excellent Korean cultural content and promote it to the whole world." And I hope to be able to work with you to provide me with the capital I need for acquisitions and future collaborations. ”

"Why do you choose me? Park Jin-young's predecessors are already more trustworthy than me, right? Zixi was curious about why Rain would choose to cooperate with him.

Rain recalled how good Park Jin-young was to him when he was a trainee and how he took care of him after his debut, sighed, and said, "That's right, Brother Zhen-young is really good to me, and he treats me like a brother." But he's not alone, he has JYP behind him. As you said, if it is not handled properly, my new company in the future will most likely become a piece of meat in JYP's mouth. At that time, I'm afraid that even Brother Zhenying couldn't stop it, after all, JYP was not his own decision, and there were many shareholders and directors staring. Let's just say that I didn't renew the contract this time, and Brother Zhenying has already received a lot of criticism. ”

"Then you don't choose to cooperate with me, do you?" Zixi said with a smile: "There is a huge family behind me, and there are countless interest groups following closely behind, and I can't be unscrupulous and do whatever I want." Aren't you afraid that you will be swallowed by a predator even more terrible than JYP in the end? ”

"That's why I said I was just looking for you to cooperate, not that I was cooperating with your family or family-owned companies." Rain was also smart, and smiled slightly: "Don't tell me I don't have any money, but I've asked someone to inquire, and you have a lot of pay for making a few Hollywood movies." ”

"You're not going to stare at me for such a small salary, are you?" Zixi was a little amused.

"Hey, hey! It doesn't matter if you like torture. Rain said a little bit of a bummer.

"Alright! How much is needed. ”

"Ugh! Don't you ask me what company I'm going to buy, or what my plans are for the future? Rain didn't expect Zixi to be so cheerful.

"I believe in you as much as you believe in me." Zixi stretched out his hand and said, "I hope we will have a happy cooperation in the future." ”

Rain shook hands with Zixi, smiled bitterly, and said helplessly: "When I came, I thought I needed to talk to you for a while, but I didn't expect you to agree so easily, aren't you too dismissive of money?" ”

"As I said, you and I are friends, and there is no need to say anything between friends. If I were to get to the bottom of it, I wouldn't have treated you as a friend. Zixi replied: "I don't have to be involved in the future development of the company, but I want someone to be responsible for overseeing the operation and financial situation." ”

"Of course, this is true, but I still want to ask, aren't you afraid that if you invest your money in me, you will lose money in the end?"

"Afraid? Hahaha! Zixi seemed to hear the funniest joke and said, "With the name Rain, I can guarantee that if you declare that the company is yours, the stock price of that company will definitely soar." Do you think I'm going to lose money like that? ”

"I see." Rain smiled bitterly again: "It turns out that my name is also valuable!" ”

"Say it! How much is needed, if it's really beyond my limits, I'm not sure. ”

"5 billion won, I am personally ready to invest 5 billion won. As for the total amount of funds collected, I calculated with an accountant that it would cost about 20 billion to 25 billion won. ”

"For this amount, have you found other companies to cooperate?" Zixi frowned, he could trust Rain, it didn't mean that he trusted others. In shopping malls, profit has always come first.

"Whew! In addition to JYP, there are several other Korean companies that are interested, but they have not yet decided on the amount of money to invest. ”

Zixi lowered her head and groaned, it has nothing to do with JYP. No matter how you say it, they are all old fritters who have been in the Korean entertainment industry for more than ten years, Park Zhenying can control the scene, but other companies are not easy to say. Looking at Rain's position now, he is determined to eat the scales, and he has agreed, so it's not good to talk back now.

"What do you think if I say that half of the total investment is invested?"

Rain was startled and said with a little caution: "You want to invest half of the funds?" ”

Zixi nodded and said, "That's right, 25 billion won, how about I invest half of it?" ”

Half of it is 10 million US dollars, which is nothing to Zixi. However, this investment amount makes Rain wary, because then Zixi will become the largest shareholder of the company in the future. If there is any dispute between them, Rain will most likely be left out, and all the effort will be to make a wedding dress for someone else.

Rain's worries were seen by Zixi, Zixi sighed secretly, between people, it is inevitable to be suspicious of each other, he knows that Rain must be worried that he will swallow the company in the future.

Without waiting for Rain to speak, Zixi continued: "I know what you're worried about, since that's the case, then I'll invest in your amount, it's no problem, right?" And I promise that I will not be involved in operation and management except for supervision, so you can rest assured, right? ”

Hearing Zixi's open-mindedness, Rain suddenly felt that he was too careful and cautious, "I'm sorry! I.... ”

Zixi waved his hand to stop it and said, "Don't say it again, it's too clear, doesn't it make us embarrassed each other?" In fact, Zixi and Rain both knew that because of what happened just now, there was a rift between them. Although not obvious, the rift takes countless hours to repair and repair.
