Chapter 57: Crazy Presence
Choi Jung-won followed Kim Young-min to Samsung's press conference, at which time hundreds of reporters had gathered, waiting for the press conference to take place like a woodland. The collaboration between the most influential artists and the most influential brands in Korea at the beginning of the year has undoubtedly attracted a lot of attention. The economy, entertainment, fashion, technology, all relevant media will not miss this opportunity.
After arriving at the venue, Kim Young-min went to find the person in charge of Samsung. Cui Zhengyuan went backstage to find Kim Jong Kook, I haven't seen this big brother for a long time, but I miss it a little.
When he walked into the lounge, Kim Jong Kook and his agent were checking the process with Samsung's staff. This collaboration is important for Kim Jong Kook and marks his official entry into the ranks of top stars. In order not to make any mistakes, Kim Jong Kook made full preparations.
When Cui Zhengyuan came in, they had already confirmed that it was correct, and the staff of Samsung hurriedly went back to make arrangements.
Kim Jong Kook put his arm around his shoulders and asked with a smile, "Jeongwon, why are you here?" Isn't it supposed to be Brother Yingmin?" He was quite satisfied with this younger brother, and when he was filming the MV, he brought a lot of supplements to cheer him up, and he personally rushed over to cheer him when he signed the sale. Now the first endorsement after flying solo, he still rushed over to visit, which is something that everyone will be moved.
"I'm fine, come and have a look. Brother Yingmin went to the person in charge of Samsung to negotiate business, and asked me to bring greetings to you. I wish you all the best and great successes".
Kim Jong Kook touched his head embarrassedly, "You bosses are so good, I can't help but cry." It's not appropriate for a big man to really make any moving appearance, so he has to talk like this to dilute the sensational atmosphere. 、
"That's not good, brother, who are you, Sparta, bleeding without tears", Cui Zhengyuan cooperated and laughed with him. Both of them are tough-hearted people, and they are really not suitable for Qiong Yao dramas.
"If you want me to say, Zhong Guo, you have face, an endorsement conference, let the two giants of our company come in person." Kim Jong Kook's agent next to him laughed with him, his artist was valued by the boss, and no agent was unhappy. Usually this agent has a poker face and does not smile, but today's exceptional appearance surprised Kim Jong Kook.
"Wow, Zhengyuan, you're still amazing. Look at you, Brother Hennan can laugh since you."
Cui Zhengyuan pretended to look at the agent for a long time, "Don't say it, this person who hasn't laughed all the time laughs......."
He deliberately paused, causing Kim Jong Kook and his agent to urgently want to know the answer before he said, "It's really ugly."
"Poof", Kim Jong Kook was directly choked by his own saliva. The agent's face turned the color of pig liver, and he was annoyed. It's a pity that Cui Zhengyuan is the boss, and he doesn't dare to vent, so he looks even more depressed. Seeing his expression in his eyes, Kim Jong Kook and Choi Jung Won smiled even more happily.
After laughing for a while, a chubby Samsung employee walked in. "Mr. Kim Jong Kook, the outside has been arranged, please go over now." It turned out that it was time for the press conference, and this staff member had come to urge Kim Jong Kook.
"Zhengyuan, I'll come when I go." Kim Jong Kook, accompanied by his agent, walked outside.
Choi Jung-won didn't hear Kim Jong-kook's words, and his whole mind was now on the chubby clerk in front of him. When I saw that familiar face, I couldn't help but feel a little dazed. Unexpectedly, if you come here to play soy sauce, you can meet a potential stock. He wanted to go up and lift that face to see if someone was impersonating. But if you think about the experience of this fat man, you know that it is indeed me.
The fat clerk was a little hairy by Cui Zhengyuan's burning gaze, and he snorted for a long time before he made a faint sound. "Sir, if there's nothing to do, you can go to the audience and watch." Anyone who is looked at so directly by the same sex is probably not much better.
Cui Zhengyuan is now like a senior otaku with a collection and control of symptoms. However, what others like to collect is a variety of limited edition dolls or discs, toys and the like, and what he likes to collect are stars from all walks of life who have emerged on the screen in their previous lives.
"Hehe, this gentleman, I don't know if you have time? Can you talk to me for a while?" Now that he saw it, Cui Zhengyuan didn't want to miss it.
The chubby staff didn't want to agree, but remembered the director's instructions to serve today's guests well and make the other party feel at home. If he refuses, the guest will have to be reprimanded if he responds to the room manager.
And this young man looks calm, speaks freely, and has a strong self-confidence in his bones, and he knows at a glance that he is an important person in the other company, and he has to deal with it more carefully. Thinking of this, I had to say against my will: "yes, sir, I don't know if there is anything I can help you?" Even though it is commanded".
Seeing that this clerk was a little nervous, Cui Zhengyuan smiled and comforted him, "Don't be nervous, I just feel like I'm in love with you." Come, let's sit here." politely invited him to the sofa on the side, and Cui Zhengyuan personally poured him a glass of water.
Those who are familiar with Cui Zhengyuan know very well that this guy is very proud in his bones, and it is even more difficult to make him treat him so earnestly. If it weren't for someone he could admire, even an elder wouldn't be able to do it.
The fat man hurriedly took the water cup with both hands and took a sip to stabilize his mood. After all, people who have been in the workplace for a few years have begun to be able to cope calmly after getting through the initial panic. "I haven't asked for my husband's name yet, so I don't know what position I hold in your company?" He decided to start by understanding the basic information of the other party.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Choi Jung-won, and I am the executive director of A.P Entertainment." Cui Zhengyuan did not hide the slightest and confessed his information. He came with sincerity in this conversation, and the first thing to do was to make the other party feel goodwill.
The fat man gasped, he thought that the other party would be a great man. I never thought that someone could become the boss of a company at such a young age, thinking that I had worked hard in Samsung for several years, and I did not hesitate to go to China in order to get ahead, and in the end I was just a senior employee. Not to mention such an unattainable position as the general manager, even if it is the head of the office and the team leader, I don't know how long it will take to struggle.
Panicked, he hurriedly got up and saluted, "Hello Executive Cui, I don't know what to do, please forgive me for the offense." The Korean system of respect and humility is very strict, and a small clerk and a boss-level person sit together, and they dare not have the slightest rudeness.
He knows the relationship between this entertainment company and the boss of the company, and the teenager in front of him can lose his job with a single word. For this kind of person who can decide his own future, he needs to be respectful and humble.
Cui Zhengyuan helped him sit down, "Don't be polite, you are very good, you can see from you that Samsung is a company worthy of respect from others."
The fat man smiled shyly, a little embarrassed. Cui Zhengyuan's compliment was a bit excessive, so he didn't know how to deal with it, so he could only scratch his scalp and smirk.
Fortunately, Cui Zhengyuan resolved the embarrassment, "I haven't asked Mr. what to call him?"
"The following is Jung Hyung-don, a staff member of the Samsung Advertising Department II, so please take care of it." The fat man's introduction is serious and slightly respectful.
Sure enough, I read it right, it's really a "crazy sense of existence", Cui Zhengyuan is overwhelmed. People who often watch Korean variety shows will definitely know this excellent funny artist. Through "Infinite Challenge", this spoof Chubby officially became the top gagman in Korea. It is loved by the audience for "being good at everything but being funny" and "crazy presence", and has gathered a lot of popularity.
Although Xiaopang himself said in the show that he had worked at Samsung. It's just that his information is limited, and Cui Zhengyuan will not deliberately pay attention to him in his previous life, so naturally I don't know when he worked at Samsung. However, according to the time speculation, Zheng Hengdun at this time has almost reached the end of his time in Samsung.
Chubby, who left Samsung, officially debuted as a greasy chubby character in "Funny Concert" and started a career path of his own.
Thinking of this, Cui Zhengyuan secretly congratulated himself on his luck, if it wasn't for the whim to watch this press conference, he would definitely miss this excellent talent. Since Xiaopang is following Liu Zaishi out of the wonderful artist road, then I'll help you now. I believe that the little fat who came to Liu Zaishi's side as soon as possible will definitely be more brilliant than in his previous life.
"Mr. Zheng, I am talking to you as an entertainment company executive, and I hope you can carefully consider my opinion." Choi Jung-won took a straight posture and started a conversation with Jung Hyung-dun with a serious expression.
Zheng Hengdun also knows that the general manager of A.P Company will not chat with him for no reason, and there must be a certain purpose. Seeing Cui Zhengyuan's serious expression, he also became serious and prepared to listen to the following words intently.
"That's right, although you haven't met Mr. Zheng for a long time, but from the perspective of my entertainment industry, you are very suitable to become an artist. I don't know if Mr. Zheng, do you have any intentions in this regard?"
"Yay"? Zheng Hengdun was stunned, although he is now living a very hard life in Samsung. He was tired every day, but his income was meager, and when he added to the high level of consumption in Seoul, he could hardly support it. But he never imagined that he still had the potential to become an artist, just like some people said that it was ridiculous to be able to shape him into Zhang Dongjian. Unfortunately, this is not a joke, at least not for the general manager of A.P to tell such a joke for his own amusement.
Zheng Hengdun, who felt a little trembling in his heart, wiped his face vigorously and took two deep breaths in a row before he organized his words. "Executive Cui, I have never studied acting, and I have never been in contact with the artist industry before, weishenme, can you be sure that I can become an artist"?
Cui Zhengyuan, who was sitting in front of him, clearly saw that his eyes were red, with a hint of crazy emotions in them. No wonder Zheng Hengton is tempted, although artists will be exploited by the agency, their income is still much more than that of a small staff like him. And artists are a kind of celebrity, successful people who live in mainstream society. I don't know how many people in Korea dream of becoming an artist and getting ahead.
When it comes to specific content, Cui Zhengyuan did not praise him wantonly, but said sincerely. "I believe that Mr. Zheng, you have a clear understanding of your own conditions, and I think you will be an excellent comedy artist because you have such a talent. I have to say that if you want to be a funny artist, you must first have a suitable external characteristic."
Choi Jung-won's words are not derogatory, but true descriptions. Since his family knows his own affairs, Zheng Hengdun knows his fat figure very well, and many people laugh because of his appearance. It can be said that if you are a funny artist, you don't have to act, and his appearance will be able to take the lead.
"Of course, being an artist is not just about having external characteristics. If Mr. Zheng really has the heart, the company will give you professional training, so that you can adapt to the life of an artist as soon as possible." Cui Zhengyuan can be said to have made a bloody investment, and even the plan was revealed.
Of course, he is not afraid that Zheng Hengdun will regret it or switch to another company, and Samsung will not stand up for him as a small clerk. If he goes to another brokerage company, he will definitely be blocked to death by A.P Company, which has a wide network of contacts.
It can be seen that Zheng Hengdun is really moved. It's not that Samsung, the largest company in South Korea, can't keep people, but that he desperately wants to change his current embarrassing life. When he became an entertainer and succeeded, he was able to live a prosperous life immediately. Continue to do it at Samsung, I don't know how long it will take to get ahead.
In a country like South Korea, everything has to be based on seniority, and it doesn't mean that you just do well. It's just that he is still very hesitant, after all, a person is going to start a completely strange life and face an unknown future, and this kind of confused fear is the most tangled. At least, Zheng Hengdun at this time couldn't make such a determination. If he really agreed immediately, it would be Cui Zhengyuan who would hesitate, whether it was right or wrong to sign a reckless person.
Secretly pinched his thigh, and the severe pain made Zheng Hengdun sober up a little. Whether to spend a life in the company as an employee or to shine on the screen as an artist, any sensible person knows how to choose. However, Jung Hyung-don and Choi Jung-won are not related, and even the advice of the executive director of A.P Company is not enough to make him make a decision desperately. After all, it is a major event related to life, and a wrong half a step may bring you unrecoverable consequences.
After thinking about it again and again, he couldn't make a decision, so Zheng Hyung-dun decided to put the issue on hold for the time being. He also needs to discuss with his family, friends, and listen to more people's opinions before he can make up his mind. "I'm really sorry, Executive Cui, but I am very impressed by your proposal. But the decisions I made were not just about me, they would affect my family and my future. So, I need to listen to my family before I can get back to you, can you give me a moment?"
Zheng Hengdun's heart was very nervous, for fear that this young executive would have a domineering personality and would not be able to consider the situation of others. In that case, this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity will be missed right in front of you.
Before, Chubby's anxious gaze had already prepared Cui Zhengyuan, knowing that he would not give an answer in such a short time. Besides, Chubby's decision was completely a normal reaction, and he fully understood this mood and consideration.
"Mr. Zheng, I think you are suitable to be a comedy artist from the first time. As for whether you can become a qualified artist, you still need to go through the assessment of the company's professional teachers before you can be determined. Don't blindly resign from your current job at Samsung, once you are not suitable for being an artist, at least you can leave yourself a way out."
Nervous Chubby didn't expect that this high-level person was not so-called arrogant, and was very approachable. I expressed my understanding of my situation and pointed out to myself where I didn't think well. In this way, Xiaopang's original skeptical thoughts were also forgotten. He's just an ordinary clerk, there's really nothing worth prying on, and there's nothing good to be gained from fooling him. It was only then that Zheng Hengdun completely believed that there were really nobles who appreciated his hidden talents.
Zheng Hengdun was grateful, "Executive Cui, don't worry, I will definitely give you an answer in five days at most."
Cui Zhengyuan took out a business card and handed it to Xiaopang. "Here is my contact information, please keep it safe. If Mr. Zheng makes a decision, please contact me as soon as possible." The fishing line should be put properly in order to catch a big fish. Choi Jung-won, who knows this well, is not overly forced, and Jung Hyung-dun is not an indispensable figure, so he can face it easily.
After the conversation, Cui Zhengyuan went to the venue to observe the press conference, and when he went out, he made a phone gesture to Zheng Hyungdon.
