Chapter 95: Interview (2)
"Haode, thank you for introducing yourself. Let's get down to business, maybe everyone has already guessed the reason why we interviewed Cui Zhengyuan's executive director this time. That's right, it is the current hit "Blue Life and Death Love" that allows us to meet this young genius entertainment planner and screenwriter." Zhao Bingwan brought the topic back to Cui Zhengyuan himself, after all, this is the purpose of their interview, about the situation of A.P company, their own professional entertainment media will report.
Cui Zhengyuan said modestly: "I don't dare to be a genius, but I still have to thank Ms. Wu Shuijuan, the original author of "Blue Life and Death Love". If Ms. Wu hadn't written such an excellent novel, then all of this would not have happened now. And this TV series can achieve such haode results, mainly due to the credit of director Yoon Seok-ho and the Hong sisters, zuihou is the result of the efforts of all the staff. Of course, it is also inseparable from the strong support of KBS TV. If it weren't for everyone's unity, this classic would not have been born at all."
"Executive Cui, you are too modest. As far as I know, you have played a vital role in the establishment of this TV series from project establishment to creation, to filming and broadcasting of zuihou. It is not an exaggeration to say that it is the first hero".
Cui Zhengyuan stopped Zhao Bingwan's wanton praise, and Zhengrong explained: "In fact, there are many misunderstandings here. Yes, I did put forward ideas and ideas for the script of "Blue Life and Death Love", but the whole process of its perfection was completely completed by the Hong sisters alone. So, it's a mistake to put my name ahead of them."
"Besides, maybe people don't notice my position in the company. My role is to be the managing and artistic director, which means that I am only responsible for the overall art planning. The specific operation is carried out by the very, very professional professionals of our company." When he said this, Cui Zhengyuan tried his best to exaggerate his tone, trying to highlight the importance of his subordinates.
"If you look at all of our company's activities lately, no matter which one you have, it takes a lot of effort and resources to do it. And I'm just a person, I don't have the ability to turn over rivers and seas, even if I am young and energetic. But I can't do the work that dozens or hundreds of people can do."
Zhao Bingwan accurately concluded: "To paraphrase an ancient Chinese saying, this is "those who work hard govern people". It is precisely because of your perfect planning that we can appreciate the pathos of "Blue Life and Death Love" and the shock of Kim Jong Kook's transformation."
Speaking of this, he thought of a related thing again and asked, "I heard that your company currently has a movie being filmed, I don't know if Executive Director Cui is convenient to reveal it"?
Cui Zhengyuan thought about it, Guo Zairong's "My Sassy Girlfriend" has now been filmed for most of the time, and it will be completed in about ten days. Because this movie didn't use many special effects, the post-production will not be delayed for too long, and it is expected that it will be released in the summer. There are still almost three months to go, and I can say that I have warmed up in advance.
"The film is also based on the novel of the same name, My Sassy Girlfriend, which tells a very romantic aiqing story. I believe that readers who have read the original book should know that the characters in it completely subvert the long-standing image of our Korean women, which is a new attempt. As for whether the result of zuihou is good or bad, it depends on the audience's evaluation. But don't worry, this movie will be available to you soon."
After saying this, Zhao Bingwan began to look for hot spots from Cui Zhengyuan. "Executive Cui is only seventeen years old this year, right? It stands to reason that at such an age, isn't it time to sit in a warm classroom and try to absorb knowledge? What prompted you to start your career too early? In our pre-solicited readers' questions, many of them were very concerned, will you ever return to campus?"
This involves the original campus violence, Cui Zhengyuan wiped his gun and almost killed someone. Although relying on the strong strength of the Cui family, this matter has been smoothed out. But it's better to let her be annihilated in the dust of history, once the slightest news leaks out, it will bring him immeasurable damage. Therefore, he was extremely careful and considered it for a long time before answering the question.
"Let's talk about the reason why I became the general manager. Readers should be able to guess from my resume. A.P Entertainment is actually a subordinate branch of our family, and it should be controlled by people within our family. However, at present, the members of the family have important jobs to do. Moreover, I had actually completed all the subjects in high school. In this case, I was the obvious choice. It can be said that the times have made me who I am today. As for going back to school, I'm afraid that it will be time for me to be old enough to go to university, and I want to hone my knowledge in a higher university."
Zhao Bingwan said with a smile: "In this way, Executive Director Cui is still a genius in learning." Can you give us parents a little bit of a trick to learn? Pity the hearts of parents all over the world, for the sake of my children's studies, I am heartbroken."
Speaking of which, the two stroked daxiao, somewhat diluting the aggressiveness in the previous conversation.
"How can I say that the same learning method works for one person, but not necessarily for another. So I didn't deliberately summarize it, and I usually came according to my own feelings. But there is one thing that is common to all people. 'There is a diligent path in the book mountain, and there is no end to the hard work of learning the sea'. This is a quote from a prominent educator in China, and I have always taken it as my motto. If you want to make a difference in your studies, please remember one thing: as long as you work hard, Zuihou's results will not disappoint your sweat."
In order to find a haode excuse for his life experience that goes against common sense, Cui Zhengyuan racked his brains. Fortunately, it turned out well, and he was finally rounded. At least Zhao Bingwan on the other side did not find the flaws above, but on the contrary, he applauded his "wonderful" journey.
Flipping through the information in his hand, Zhao Bingwan found an interesting place, and his intuition told him that it would definitely gain a huge amount of attention. "Judging from the information I have so far, at the beginning of the establishment of A.P Entertainment, its asset scale reached more than 860 billion. At present, the most influential S.M company, its assets are only 56 billion. Does that mean that from now on, A.P will become the number one player in the Korean entertainment market and hold the bull's ear of Hallyu culture"?
The smile on Cui Zhengyuan's face remained unchanged, but his heart was cold.
These reporters, whether they are top-level or third-rate, have no difference in their bones, and they are all insidious people who are afraid that the world will not be chaotic. Just this passage, on the surface, it sounds like it is admiration for the strength of A.P Company, but in fact, it is roasting itself on the fire.
It's all about entertainment, who would admit that they are inferior. It can be said that once Cui Zhengyuan shows a little sign of recognition, then from now on, in this circle, A.P company will be embattled. Looking at the past, it was all enemies.
"You can't look at things that way, numbers alone don't say anything. This shijie thing can't be done just by money, and in the entertainment industry, our A.P company is still a complete newcomer and doesn't have much experience. Compared to other companies, we are more like a newborn. In the future, we need to communicate and cooperate with other colleagues and learn more from our predecessors, which is the way for our company to survive."
Zhao Bingwan secretly shouted that it was a pity, he dug a pit well, and was dodged by this demon-like young executive officer.
He didn't dare to revise the content of the interview without permission, not to mention that it would touch the bottom line of his top reporter, and the newspaper would not allow it. The most troublesome thing is that he has to bear the wrath of the C.J Group, no matter how important he is as the first reporter, he will not be arrogant enough to think that the newspaper society will offend a behemoth like the Cui family for him.
Although Cui Zhengyuan was still smiling, Zhao Bingwan still saw the cold breath in his eyes and knew that it was a signal of dissatisfaction with himself.
It's just that he can't help it, don't look at him as a top reporter, but I don't know how many people below him are trying their best to replace him. If you can't keep making big news, the day will come late.
It seems that we need to say some interesting anecdotes to ease the atmosphere, "The topic returns to the recent hit "Blue Life and Death Love", there is one thing we can't fail to mention. In the ninth episode, the plot of Eun-hee is terminally ill is broadcast, but on the second day, the entrance of KBS TV and your company is surrounded by a large number of fans. Protest against your plot and strongly demand that the plot be changed. As far as I know, this is the first time in the history of TV dramas in our country that some viewers will protest to TV stations and screenwriters for plot reasons."
When it comes to this topic, Cui Zhengyuan is also helpless. What can I say, it's just that the original publicity strategy was too successful, so that a large number of viewers fell into this TV series and couldn't extricate themselves.
The gentle and kind Eun-hee had become a goddess in the eyes of the public at this time, so when they saw that she had an incurable terminal illness, the audience was furious.
On the second day, a large number of Eun-hee fans gathered at the door of KBS TV and A.P Company and lodged a solemn protest, strongly demanding that Choi Jung-won and the TV drama crew change the plot.
This incident made headlines in major media on the same day and became a phenomenon that attracted widespread attention in Korean society.
To paraphrase MBC's Mainichi Shimbun, the drama has become an essential staple in the lives of South Koreans. No matter who it is, even if it is Cui Zhengyuan, the creator, it can't change the living habits of the public.
"It can be said that this matter has received widespread attention from the whole country. Here, on behalf of the audience and friends who like "Blue Life and Death Love" across the country, I would like to ask, Executive Cui, will you change the original plot"?
Regarding the demonstrations and protests, Jang Jinhe personally met with Choi Jung-won and Yoon Seok-ho, hoping that Choi Jeong-won would make appropriate changes.
