Chapter 139: Zheng Xinghuai's Suggestion
(xiexie Muzi old sheep, brilliant today's reward.) The old sheep is a newcomer, welcome to welcome. I haven't seen Brilliant for a few days, has it been released? )
Gently putting the coffee in front of Zheng Xinghuai, Cui Zhengyuan sat down opposite, and said with a warm smile: "I'm sorry to keep you waiting." I don't have ready-made drinks here, drink them and see if they don't suit your taste. ”
Since Cui Zhengyuan put on an amiable posture, Zheng Xinghuai didn't need to start talking about things as soon as he came up. Anyway, there is a lot of time today, and you can chat with him all over the world.
Hold the delicate cup to your mouth, and before you even eat it, a rich aroma of coffee beans rushes into your nostrils. If this aroma is substantial, you can clearly feel it entering the lungs along the respiratory tract and then turning over to the whole body. Wherever the aroma passes, every cell is joyfully alive and refreshing.
Zheng Xinghuai's eyes lit up, revealing a look of surprise.
He has been an agent for so many years, and he has made a lot of money, and he has drunk a lot of high-quality coffee. But such a superb product is obviously the first time I have encountered it. Like a hungry gluttony encountering a supreme delicacy, Zheng Xinghuai couldn't wait to take a peck lightly.
When the thick liquid touches the soft tip of the tongue, the aroma of the coffee is even stronger, with an extremely pungent aroma that occupies the entire mouth. For a long time, until the fragrance faded a little, Zheng Xinghuai reluctantly swallowed the liquid.
"It's really a rare superb, I didn't expect that Executive Cui is also a person who knows how to enjoy." After drinking other people's good things, Zheng Xinghuai's mouth must of course be complimented.
Cui Zhengyuan didn't care, "Since you like it, then I still have a little bit here." I'll give it to you when you leave later, I don't know how good this brand of coffee is, but I see that my old man cherishes it, so I took some of it. The next time I come back into the house, I'll prepare more for you. ”
Yes, he is an atmospheric person, Zheng Xinghuai's evaluation of Cui Zhengyuan has risen another notch.
Because it is not easy to make money, Koreans are generally very frugal and stingy. The climate of the whole society is like this, so even high-income people like them go with the flow.
This can be reflected in the wedding gift money, no matter how big the name or famous star, the gift money of more than 2 million is considered a heavy gift. How much can 2 million won have? Converted into RMB, it is only a little more than 6,000.
In China, no celebrity can get this gift money. Even if you can get your hands on it, the owner of the invitation will be ugly. In his previous life, Cui Zhengyuan attended the wedding, which time was not a lot of money, and he never frowned.
The phenomenon of Korean stinginess abounds in daily life. Even if it's a bottle of drink, it's a treat. The invited person should also solemnly thank you, which can be seen in general.
The drink that Choi Jung-won invited him to drink, needless to say, must be the top coffee brand on Shijie. Because of the production, it is almost priceless. But Cui Zhengyuan didn't blink, and said that he would send it. It can be seen that he has his own boldness in his heart, and he can't look down on this thing.
Zheng Xinghuai was not hypocritical and accepted it calmly. On the one hand, he does like coffee, and if he doesn't drink a few cups a day, his mood will become bad. In addition, he accepted Cui Zhengyuan's gift, which can be regarded as making the two closer.
Cui Zhengyuan was not in a hurry to ask for advice, but asked Zheng Xinghuai with great interest about the anecdotes and anecdotes of "Xu Taizhi and the children" back then.
And this also happened to scratch Zheng Xinghuai's itch, you must know that "Xu Taizhi and the Children" can be regarded as the most proud work in Zheng Xinghuai's life. It was under his painstaking leadership and planning that this hip-pop group became a milestone in the history of Korean music.
The name of the agent of "Xu Taizhi and the Children" also made him the top figure in the Korean brokerage circle. Many big-name peers have to be respectful and courteous when they see him.
This combination has become a thing of the past, an object of deep remembrance.
Xu Taizhi and Li Junuo hid behind the scenes and became full-time musicians. Yang Hyun-seok founded his own brokerage company and became the boss. So there was no reason to keep some things secret back then.
Zheng Xinghuai and Cui Zhengyuan are like old friends for many years, chatting freely.
"Seo Tae-ji and the children" is definitely an existence that cannot be ignored in the history of K-pop music, and Choi Jung-won is also very curious about what happened back then. And he is also a veteran who is used to talking, and every time he asks a question, he hits the point, causing Zheng Xinghuai to shake out a lot of inside information.
To say that Zheng Xinghuai is also a shrewd person, he has only lived in seclusion for many years, and today is the first time he has spoken so freely with others. The content of the chat is still his proud work, how not to make his heart flutter. In addition, Cui Zhengyuan is his boss again, which made him relax his vigilance congenitally. As a result, the bamboo tube poured beans, and 1510 told everything about it.
Unknowingly, after chatting for almost three hours, and even renewing the coffee in the cup four times, Zheng Xinghuai can be regarded as completely happy.
As a result, as soon as the enthusiasm for the conversation decreased, he realized that he was just like Xiaobai, and was tricked out of many secrets by the harmless-looking young man opposite.
Looking at the face that was delicate on the surface but actually secretly cunning, Zheng Xinghuai couldn't help but be secretly annoyed, his concentration was still much worse.
Fortunately, he is also a person who has been through the wind and waves for a long time, otherwise he would not have been able to shelter Xu Taizhi from the wind and rain for so long and strive to maintain his glory for so many years.
Zheng Xinghuai, who suffered a loss, decided to take the initiative to attack and win back a city. Otherwise, if he was underestimated by this little executive when they met for the first time, wouldn't it damage his reputation as the "No. 1 agent" in South Korea. Now, he is also sure that this eldest grandson of the Cui family is not an embroidered pillow. Not to mention anything else, this mental effort alone is much more powerful than many old birds.
With this understanding, Zheng Xinghuai decided to start from what he thought was the "wrong" decision of Cui Zhengyuan. Only in this way can Cui Zhengyuan's attention be aroused and his status in the eyes of the boss can be improved.
"Executive, before I came, I had already seen the operation jihua that Director Han handed over to me. About this jihua,If it's an appropriate description,I'm afraid it's a little ambitious.。 ”
Zheng Xinghuai cited previous examples to confirm, "Xu Taizhi back then has achieved unprecedented success in South Korea and even Asia. But when we went to the United States to perform, the response can only be described as average. ”
"General manager, if you rush into the entertainment industry in Europe and the United States so rashly, with all due respect, I'm afraid it will be difficult to achieve the expected results." He said this very tactfully. But he believed that a smart person like Choi Jung-won should have imagined the scene he depicted.
Regarding Zheng Xinghuai's question, although Cui Zhengyuan did not deliberately prepare, he was not panicked. After all, in order to successfully persuade Kim Yingmin, Han Sunghao and others, he had already explained the pros and cons very clearly. Now it's just a matter of saying these words again, what really satisfies him is that Zheng Xinghuai can see the existence of the problem with a sharp point.
The problem of racial discrimination has persisted for a long time, even in the twenty-first century, which is so open.
In the impression of most Europeans and Americans, Asia is a backward place except for Japan. In the entertainment industry in Europe and the United States, this problem is even more serious. Asia, which has been hit by Hollywood films and TV productions and European and American pop culture, has long been considered a dumping ground for Europe and the United States. Asia does not produce advanced pop culture works that conform to the mainstream aesthetic views of shijie.
Under such circumstances, it is difficult for Asians to gain a foothold in the European and American markets. How many of Asia's top superstars entered Hollywood with confidence, only to come back disheartened.
But Choi Jung-won is different, because he doesn't need to change himself to adapt to the European and American markets. He also has a strong financial backing, and he can smash a smooth road out. And the partner has also been found, with Sony, the head snake, he can save a lot of effort to deal with trouble. believes this, Zheng Xinghuai also knows.
But what Zheng Xinghuai didn't know was that Cui Zhengyuan still had the ultimate killer weapon in his hands, and the by-product of the crossing - there were so many excellent entertainment works that God could go crazy. With so many good things thrown down, even God has to surrender and bow down to the value created by these things.
Zheng Xinghuai thought that he was enough to ask Cui Zhengyuan, but what he saw was the other party's confident smile. He thought that this executive newborn calf was not afraid of tigers, and he didn't know how deep the water in the European and American entertainment circles was, so he couldn't help but want to tell his experience. so that he can retreat in the face of difficulties, and he will not regret it after heavy losses.
Without waiting for him to open his mouth again, Cui Zhengyuan preemptively asked: "Brother, what do you think is the main thing to rely on if you want to succeed in the entertainment industry?" ”
This question can be described as a matter of faith for an old bird like Zheng Xinghuai. "Of course, it is an excellent work, no matter how much resources and means an artist can have is publicity and creation, but the most basic and essential thing that can ensure the success of artists and companies is Zuihou's work. Only with excellent works and corresponding publicity methods can we succeed. ”
Zheng Xinghuai's answer did not exceed Cui Zhengyuan's expectations, in fact, what he said was also the truth.
Cui Zhengyuan has been in this industry for many years and has a clear understanding of this.
Except for those characters who are hyped up by vulgar news, real artists must rely on good works to succeed. Whether it's a singer, an actor, or a comedy artist. And those hyped up can only be called entertainment people, and in the eyes of the world, like clowns, they only serve the purpose of entertainment.
Such people have a very short life. Instantly become popular, disappear in an instant. There is nothing to be remembered except for some jokes.
And this is obviously not what Cui Zhengyuan hopes.
PS: I believe that those of you who have been paying attention to this book have seen what I have been saying some time ago, and there will be major good news today. I don't know if you have seen it? That is the strong push of the whole site.
This is the first time Lotus has written a book, and she has always come with a humble and learning mentality. I didn't expect such a dazzling highlight moment, how to describe the mood? It's the ups and downs of life, it's so exciting!!
To be honest, up to now, there have been many feedback from book lovers that the plot is too bland and not enough to attract attention. Regarding this, Lotus is also depressed. It seems that I have foreshadowed so much foreplay that I am still digging a hole until now.
But please be patient, the real plot will start soon. Let's follow in the footsteps of Choi Jung-won and conquer Shijie!!
