Chapter 694: Mourning and Death
After a small part of Zhang Ziyan's suicide note was exposed by SBS, in the face of the South Korean people who angrily shouted that the murderer should be severely punished and the entertainment industry should be rectified, the South Korean Parliament, the Korean Broadcasting and Film Performing Arts Union, and the Korea Fair Trade Commission all quickly made a statement on Zhang Ziyan's suicide case the next day.
The South Korean parliament said that it would introduce the "Zhang Ziyan Act" to clear the unspoken rules of the Korean entertainment industry. The Artists Union said that it would strengthen the protection of the legitimate rights and interests of artists in the future to avoid slavery contracts between artists and brokerage companies. The Korea Fair Trade Commission also said that in order to prevent the agency from forcing the artist to sign an unequal agreement, it will promote the formulation of the standard contract in the future, and when the agency signs a contract with the artist in the future, it must use this standard contract as a model, and shall not add or delete the items without permission.
South Korea's three major departments successively made a statement on the Zhang Ziyan incident the next day, and the speed was not unfast, but the South Korean people were not satisfied, because the government departments had not done this empty slogan before, but as time went by, after the people slowly forgot about it, it finally came to an end.
Although the power of the small people is small, when more and more small people stand up and express their opinions and anger on the matter on major networks and forums, their strength gathers into a turbulent wave. When professors from major universities with a certain influence on society have also come forward to express their opinions, the pressure on government departments is also increasing.
Park Jin-hye saw that the time was ripe, and immediately summoned her think tank and a group of dog-legged parliamentarians to stand up and release a televised speech.
In a televised speech. Park expressed her dissatisfaction and anger at the chaos in the entertainment industry, her heartache at the oppression of artists, and her disappointment at the inaction of relevant departments. She said that she would use her influence to discuss the issue of the "Jang Ziyeon Act" at the next session of the South Korean National Assembly, and make every effort to promote the implementation of the bill. She also promised that she will urge the National Assembly to introduce regulations on the protection of artists, and in the future, when Korean agencies sign contracts with artists, they must first submit the contract to the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism for approval, and if the artist is underage, in addition to the approval of the Minister of Culture, the agency must also obtain the permission of the guardian before signing a contract with the artist.
At the same time, she also proposed to rectify the brokerage companies in the entire entertainment industry. Heavy penalties will be imposed on all brokerage companies that have unreasonable treaties. If it is found that there are oppressive artists to carry out "sexual bribery", they must also be punished by the law, and the entertainment industry must be innocent, and Korean artists must be given justice.
Park Jinhui's righteous words and fierce attitude have won her the favor of many South Korean people. made her popularity among the people reach unprecedented heights. Many people who had previously been guided by pro-American factions to oppose her were also deceived by her righteous appearance. Instead, they joined the camp that supported her.
"Damn, this old woman is really good at taking chances and putting on a show." In the South Korean president's office, Lee Myung-bak spat on the ground in anger. He was also preparing to use this opportunity to make a statement to reverse the dissatisfaction of the South Korean people with this government, but he was unexpectedly preempted by the old woman. And the old woman snatched all his lines first, and he had nothing to say if he stood up again, because she had said all the good things.
"Councilor Park is our reborn parent." Korean artists were moved to tears. It can be seen from her fierce rhetoric and the resolute statements of the large group of congressmen behind her that Park Jinhye has moved seriously this time, instead of coming out to be perfunctory like previous officials.
"Damn, it looks like I'm really going to bleed this time." The CEOs of entertainment brokerage companies are like being knocked on a stick, and they hate the ruthless Park Jinhye to the core.
"Luckily, fortunately." The directors of S.M couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat on their foreheads, "Fortunately, S.M has made a comprehensive revision of the contracts of its artists at Kim Young-min's insistence. ”
After watching Park Jinhye's TV speech, Lee so-man felt chills all over his body, and now that he thinks about it, Kim Young-min, or Xiahou Zhongying, had long expected this step today, so he prepared in advance before it happened. Thinking of his relationship with Park Jinhye, maybe this matter is inseparable from him, how can he fight with this kind of person. It seems that S.M will never get back to him in the future. Thinking of this, Li Xiu's heart was full of unwillingness and despair.
"Did you do it?"
After Xiahou Zhongying disappeared for a few days and returned to his home in Seoul, Kim Tae-hee, who rushed over urgently after hearing the news, asked as soon as they met.
Kim Tae-hee also participated in the bureau laid out by Xiahou Zhongying and the Park Group from beginning to end, although she did not know as well as Xiahou Zhongying in many details, but she still knew the overall plan. In the plan, the evidence provided by Zhang Ziyan should not have appeared before the Park Group had fully controlled the Ministry of Culture.
"Did you ask or did she ask?" Xiahou Zhongying did not answer Kim Tae-hee's question, and asked rhetorically with an expressionless face.
"Does it make a difference?"
"Yes, if she asked, my answer would be: no. If you asked, you shouldn't ask, I don't believe you can't see that there is a problem with Zhang Ziyan's suicide. ”
Kim Tae-hee was silent and didn't speak for a long time.
Of course, she can also see that Zhang Ziyan's suicide case is not as simple as it seems, and the evidence provided by the police is not credible at all. But because of her relationship with Park Jinhye, she can't doubt it, and she doesn't dare to doubt it, so she can only choose to believe the police's statement.
Similarly, because of her relationship with Xiahou Zhongying, she was reluctant to doubt him, preferring to believe that what he just said "no" was true.
"I know, of course it's not you, I'll tell my aunt."
In this matter, Kim Tae-hee, who is actually caught in the middle, is the most difficult. On the one hand, it is the interests of her aunt and the family, and on the other hand, the little man she slowly accepts and falls in love with, she doesn't want conflicts between the two sides, but from Xiahou Zhongying's somewhat cold words just now, she can feel the thick anger hidden under his calm face, and contradictions inevitably arise.
Looking at Kim Tae-hee's pitiful appearance, Xiahou Zhongying couldn't help but sigh slightly. He was very angry at the cold-bloodedness of those people, but what did this have to do with Kim Tae-hee? Like him, she didn't know that those people had the intention of killing Zhang Ziyan from the beginning. So I can't help but regret that I just sprinkled my anger on her.
After being silent for a while, Xiahou Zhongying stretched out his hand and gently stroked Kim Tae-hee's delicate face, and said, "I don't want to get involved in anything related to her in the future." (To be continued......)
