Chapter 20 Broadcasting Association Meetings
Because of Quan Zhilong's previous experience, Cui Zhengyuan changed his previous inspection. He no longer just focuses on the superficial data, but dives into the heart and examines everyone in detail. Every time he goes to a branch, he has to patrol for a long time, just hoping to find haode seedlings again.
This time, whether it is those who will become popular in the future or those who have never been famous, he will carefully screen them. Those trainees who have disappeared in the long river of history, some of them may not be worse than those who can make their debut. There are various reasons why they do not appear in public. Perhaps with the addition of Choi Jung-won, the fate of many of them will change.
What Cui Zhengyuan has to do is to maintain a fair attitude and understand the current situation of trainees in the company in detail. Be aware of it, give these people a little more chance, maybe they can give themselves a surprise.
After the integration and reorganization of A.P Company, there are more than 300 trainees alone, plus various stars from the first, second, and third lines, and even 500 of them.
Cui Zhengyuan was afraid that there would be another thing that would be dusty in Mingzhu, so he forcibly extended the original one-week work to one month. Every day, he rushed to branches around Seoul to meet with the people in charge, meet with the debut stars, and then observe the situation of the trainees one by one.
Not to mention, after no longer relying on the memories of later generations, just by relying on experience and vision, he really discovered some talents that could be created. For these people, Cui Zhengyuan focused on summarizing them, and asked the relevant personnel to follow up, so as to ensure that they can make progress step by step and finally make their debut.
Sitting in the car back to the headquarters, Cui Zhengyuan finally relaxed.
The inspection work of each branch has been completed, and he is now rushing back to the headquarters.
Kim Young-min flew to Beijing this afternoon, and the president successfully opened up a channel into the Chinese market for him when he used to work at S.M. Now that I'm the president of A.P., I'm going to make use of the relationships I've developed in the past. Although A.P's current situation is not suitable for the development of the Chinese market, it is still necessary to take precautions and land on the beach.
Han Sung-ho is currently following Kim Jong Kook's new album on Synnara Music, and during this time, he has forgotten to sleep and eat, and he has not even returned home, just to ensure that Jong Kook's new song can be a hit. Choi Jung-won believes that with Kim Jong Kook's strength, he will definitely not disappoint. But he won't do anything that discourages his subordinates' motivation to work.
"Oh, it's snowing", looking at the disturbing snowflakes outside the car window, he realized that before he knew it, it was already December. During this time, it was dark and busy every day, father and mother had their own work to do, Cui Siyuan and Cui Zhiyuan, two cousins, also had to go to school, and only grandpa and grandmother were at home.
The affairs of C.J Group have been handed over from Cui Wulong to Pan Jingzhen. If it is not a major matter, the old man basically no longer comes forward. It's just that the elderly are used to going to bed early, and when Cui Zhengyuan returns home every day, it's basically midnight. Only at the dinner table in the morning, I was able to meet the second elder in a hurry.
Seeing Cui Zhengyuan's emaciated appearance because of his busyness, his grandmother was very distressed and asked him to rest more. Grandpa is very pleased, his children and grandchildren are diligent and hardworking, and those who are elders will be happy.
Now that he finally has free time, Cui Zhengyuan wants to take some time out to spend time with his family.
"Tomorrow is the weekend, you can take Origin and Zhiyuan to the playground to play." Thinking like this, he hummed the adapted lyrics in his mouth, "The first snow in 2000 came later than usual, and the No. 2 car parked on the eighth floor took away a piece of falling yellow leaf ...... in Zuihou." The two bodyguards, who did not understand Chinese and did not know what the boss was mad about, looked at each other and continued to drive in silence.
Cui Zhengyuan was humming vigorously, and the phone rang. When I picked it up, the caller ID was Kim Young-min. Cui Zhengyuan wondered, isn't he going to China? I guess I'm already at Incheon Airport now, so I forgot that there was something important that I didn't deal with? Thinking so, he picked up the phone, "Brother Yingmin, is there something wrong?"
Hearing it, Kim Young-min was already at the airport, because the voice of the airport radio came from the loudspeaker from time to time, "Zhengyuan, just now the company's external relations department called, saying that the annual meeting of the Broadcasting Association will be held at 8 o'clock this evening, and you also know that I can't get out of the way, so you can go down?"
"Broadcasting Association meeting, what's that"? Choi Jung-won doesn't know much about some things in the Korean circle.
Fortunately, Kim Young-min, who used to work at S.M., knows what is going on, and explained: "This meeting of the broadcasting association is led by the three major television stations, and they convene various entertainment companies every year to summarize the work of the past year and discuss cooperation matters for the coming year. To put it bluntly, it is a spoils sharing conference, and how much benefit you can get depends on the strength and relationship of each company."
"Oh, yes, I can't miss it. Don't worry, I will definitely go, this is a big event related to the future of our company", Cui Zhengyuan immediately understood the meaning contained in it.
"Well, although the company used to have some contacts, it is necessary to start over with a new signboard and have a good relationship with the TV station." Kim Yingmin is old and sophisticated, and he thinks more thoughtfully.
"Where is the meeting taking place"?
"At the Ilsan MBC Dream Center, it was their turn to sit as hosts this year."
"So be it, alas, my poor precious time", Choi Jung-won pretended to be pitiful.
"Hehe, thank you for your hard work, wait for me to go back and bring you Peking duck." Kim Young-min also felt a little embarrassed, his president was not as busy as Choi Jung-won. Now I have to give him more work, so I have to bribe him a little.
Cui Zhengyuan has been back to China for almost half a year, and he has not eaten Chinese food for a long time. Hearing the Peking duck, my saliva was about to stay, "It's decided, if you dare to forget, I'll go to your house to eat the overlord meal."
Hearing Cui Zhengyuan's words, Kim Yingmin, who was originally just perfunctory, changed his face, and said viciously: "Even if you are ruthless, I will not forget it, I will definitely bring it back to you." Think about the eldest grandson of the Cui family, who went to the Jin family to eat the overlord meal, and when he turned around, the old man of the Jin family didn't kill Jin Yingmin alive.
Even through the phone, he could feel the thick resentment in Kim Youngmin's words, and Choi Jung-won put away the phone hahadaxiao.
After thinking about it carefully, Choi Jung-won called the Kim sisters and Yoo Jae-seok respectively and informed them to prepare the script of "Blue Life and Death Love" and the plan for "Xman".
This meeting will be attended by the top management of the three major television stations. Choi Jung-won plans to find a time to discuss the next TV series with KBS, "Blue Life and Death Love" has been completed, and it's time to take it out to meet people. Although the Kim sisters are good at writing with one hand and tears in the other, they have very solid basic skills in controlling words. Cui Zhengyuan has already handed over the general outline of the plot to them, and with reference, they are not incapable of completing this kind of pure tear drama. Cui Zhengyuan has already read the script before, and it is basically not much different from the original book.
In contrast, "Xman" is almost identical to the first season in its original history.
Considering the trend of variety shows, Cui Zhengyuan did not take out other classic links such as "Of course", which ensured that "Xman" could have a long-term life. However, the company's performing arts department is full of talents, and it still came up with a haode plan. Cui Zhengyuan believes that this variety show planning can impress SBS TV.
Back at the company, Cui Zhengyuan went to the film and television department and the performing arts department respectively, and after getting the script and planning, he returned to the office to change his clothes for formal occasions.
However, he did not rush to the venue, but spent a while, and set off when the estimated time was almost up. This kind of meeting is very particular, and you can't be there too early. Of course, it's not okay to be late, and in South Korea, no company dares not to give face to the three major TV stations.
Generally, only small brokerage companies will arrive in advance, and take this opportunity to hope for a multi-laral relationship. For large companies like A.P, S.M, JYP, YG, and SidusHQ, arriving early will seem to be a head shorter than others. Cui Zhengyuan would not do such a self-deprecating thing.
At 19:45, Choi Jung-won's car drove into the MBC Rishan Dream Center on time.
Coincidentally, four cars entered at the same time.
The car stopped steadily, and the bodyguard was about to go down to open the door, but was stopped by Cui Zhengyuan.
After waiting for a while, Cui Zhengyuan didn't walk out until the other four cars got down. It looked like those four people were waiting for him. I guess they must be scolding the same word in their hearts - little fox.
The five people stood in different directions, and naturally formed a scene of holding each other back. The ten eyes intertwined with each other, as if a powerful net had been weaved. If a reporter is present, he will be able to write an earth-shattering story. It's a pity that this meeting is not open to the public, and the strong aura stirred up by the five people is in vain.
Lee so-man, Park Jin-young, Yang Hyun-suk, Cha Seung-jae, Choi Jung-won, and now the bosses of five of South Korea's largest entertainment companies have gathered. This situation and this scene are quite the style of Huashan on the sword. Although the news of the establishment of A.P Company is not known to the outside world, the entertainment industry in South Korea is so big, and the bosses of these large companies have long had detailed information about Choi Jung-won on their desks. Therefore, they were not surprised to see that it was not Kim Young-min who appeared, but Choi Jung-won.
Several people stood in place and looked at each other, exchanging glances in silence, and no one would move. The five people, no matter which one of them are not easy to get along with, are all waiting for others to make the first move. Time has passed as if a century has passed, and even the youngest Cui Zhengyuan does not have any impatient look, which makes the other four people admire this young man's cultivation kung fu a little.
Seeing that the time was almost up, Cha Seung-jae took the lead in breaking the silence, smiled slightly, and walked towards Lee so-man first, "Director Lee so-man, long time no see, fortunately I will meet you." It is not surprising that he had a feud with Choi Jung-won before, and now he has leaned towards Li Xiuman, who is in direct competition with A.P Company.
Li Xiuman replied: "Representative Che, how are you doing lately"? While greeting him, his eyes were still on Cui Zhengyuan's body, and the eyes hidden under the lenses were intriguing.
Choi Jung-won didn't care, and walked towards Park Jin-young and Yang Hyun-suk, "President Park Jin-young, President Yang Hyun-suk, the younger brother has just arrived, please take care of me."
Park Jin-young and Yang Hyun-seok have struggled to fight against ** over the years, but now they have a strong ally and have shown enough goodwill, they can't ask for it, "Executive Choi is polite, and there will be more contacts in the future."
The first meeting of the Big Five ended in such a strange atmosphere. Lee so-man and Cha Seung-jae walked in front, ignoring the three people behind. Cui Zhengyuan and the three of them were also talking and laughing, and deliberately slowed down. Even if Li Xiuman closed the elevator and didn't wait for them, he didn't care. It can be seen that the three of them hate taking the same elevator with Li Xiuman.
Coming to the conference hall on the fourth floor, Choi Jung-won slowed down slightly, letting Park and Yang walk in front. This is his adherence to the rules of seniority, and he doesn't want others to think that he is flying at a young age. Park and Yang understood his thoughts, apologized slightly, and walked into the hall first.
Cui Zhengyuan walked in, and saw that the huge hall was full of groups of people. Each suit and leather shoes, with a demeanor, are divided into piles and whispering. Seeing Park Zhenying and the three coming in, some people immediately greeted them and grabbed the two of them respectively. It can be seen from the attitude that these people should be in their camp. Park and Yang just made a slight gesture to Choi Jung-won, and they were pulled into different groups and drowned in a piece of flattery.
Cui Zhengyuan is a young man, no one knows his details, and no one pays attention to him. He didn't care, so he found a random corner, sat down and waited for the meeting to start.
However, he was not quiet for long. A chubby man in his fifties walked over and asked cautiously, "Excuse me, is it Executive Director Choi of A.P Company?"
Cui Zhengyuan stood up and saluted back, "Exactly, haven't asked for advice yet"?
Convinced, the other party hurriedly smiled: "Don't dare to be, Lu Wuyuan, vice president of contemptible MBC TV, neglected Executive Director Cui, please forgive me."
Cui Zhengyuan hurriedly said: "President Lu is polite, the younger generation is participating in this kind of meeting for the first time, and the rules and regulations are not very familiar, please forgive me if there is anything missing."
Lu Wuyuan said affectionately: "Executive Cui doesn't have to be polite, everything is wrapped up in me." Seeing his attitude, Cui Zhengyuan guessed that he might be the spokesperson of the big GJ party in MBC, so the other party took the initiative to offer favor, and it could be explained.
The two of them chatted enthusiastically, and the people around them unconsciously gathered their eyes. Cui Zhengyuan is not familiar with everyone, but Lu Wuyuan is the focus of attention. These large and small entertainment companies are trying every possible way to get in touch with TV stations, how can they let go of the line of vice president of MBC?
Because of this, they care about Cui Zhengyuan, I don't know what the identity of this teenager who appeared here suddenly is? It must be exceptional to be able to receive the hospitality of the vice president of MBC.
At this moment, a group of people poured in at the door. Three of them took the lead, surrounded by others in the middle, with a majestic gait and a serious expression, and the form of the superior was undoubtedly revealed. The people who were originally scattered all over the hall, except for the representatives of the five major entertainment companies, all rushed up to say hello. The faces of successful people who used to maintain a lot of haode have disappeared. In front of those three people, each of them looked respectful and flattering.
Although Cui Zhengyuan did not step forward, he was also paying attention to the situation here. After listening to everyone's words, I knew that it was the presidents of the three major TV stations who came together.
