Chapter Eighty-Eight: Dropping Out

Kim Jisoo was speechless and fell silent.

"Despite this, although OPPA feels that the arrangements for you are all for your own good, OPPA respects your choice. If you want to go to college, OPPA will arrange it for you; If you don't want to, OPPA won't force it. OPPA can help you provide you with only opportunities, but OPPA can't help you live your life, so how to choose is up to you. ”

Kim Jisoo didn't speak for a long time, and after a long while, he said, "I listen to oppa." ”

Hearing this, Lee Seung-woo looked at Kim Ji-so, shook his head and smiled: "Forget it, you can think about it during this time after you go back later." OPPA doesn't want to dominate your life, and I don't want to dominate your life, OPPA wants every choice you make from your heart. At least this way, whether it is smooth or bumpy in the future, at least you will not regret it. ”

After a pause, looking at Kim Ji-so, Lee Seung-woo said again: "OPPA only needs you to remember one thing: no matter what you choose, OPPA will be your most solid backing." So compared to others, they may fail once and may not be able to afford to fall, but you can have countless opportunities to fall. Everyone's life is different, and success or failure is just an experience.

The key is that people should follow their hearts, not let themselves regret themselves, and live happily is the most important thing. ”

Raising his hand and touching Kim Jisoo's hair, Lee Seung-woo said, "So, no matter what you choose, don't worry about OPPA's thoughts, OPPA respects your opinion." As long as you feel comfortable, happy, and make decisions that follow your heart. ”

Kim Jisoo raised his head and looked at Lee Seung-woo in a daze, and suddenly his hands reached out, hugged Lee Seung-woo tightly, and his face was tightly pressed against Lee Seung-woo's chest.

Time passed, and August passed quickly, entering September.

After more than a week of waiting, Son Ye-jin finally had an answer, and after consulting Lee Seung-woo's estimated filming time again, he agreed to star in Lee Seung-woo's movie.

In terms of choosing investors, Lee Seung-woo also made a decision that his second film will be with CJ.

As a large multinational company in South Korea, CJ Group's business scope covers four major industries: food, food and beverage services, biotechnology, logistics, new distribution, entertainment, and media.

In the field of entertainment and media, CJ not only has its own production and distribution company, including 17 cable TV channels such as tvN, OCN, Mnet, and Chunghwa tv, as well as the online video platform TVING and the online content creator platform DIATV, but also has its own chain of cinemas with nearly 200 theaters in Korea and nearly 600 theaters worldwide.

In cooperation with CJ Entertainment, Lee Seung-woo does not have to worry about his own scheduling after the filming is completed, and CJ can also provide great help for his films to break out of Korea and go to the world in the future.

For example, the movie "Parasite" directed by Bong Joon-ho in the previous life, the key factor that won the Academy Award for Best Picture was that in addition to the quality of the movie itself, CJ also played a big role behind it.

What's more, CJ promised not to interfere with his dominance of the film.

Although this kind of commitment actually means little, and CJ will not be afraid of him as a small director if he wants to break the promise, Lee Seung-woo believes that as long as his movie box office is guaranteed, CJ will give him absolute respect.

As a businessman, profit is the most important thing.

And before he really grows, he needs a big tree to help him shelter from the wind and rain, and CJ is undoubtedly a good choice.

Although Lee Seung-woo has to give up a large share of profits in cooperation with CJ, who makes him just a young child with a weak physique. If you only think about eating alone and not pulling out a dime, you will only be like a child holding gold in the market, and you will be guilty.

There are many talented people, but talented people who don't know how to share profits, and geniuses who can't get out and are buried are no different from ordinary people.

Some are even worse off than ordinary people.

As Lee Seung-woo said to Kim Ji-so, the world is inherently unfair. You must first admit this unfairness, so that you can adapt to the situation, strengthen yourself, and then pursue relative fairness when you have the strength.

After confirming the partners and the addition of Son Ye-jin, Lee Seung-woo began to prepare for the establishment of the film crew.

After entering September, major colleges and universities have also opened one after another.

However, as a senior student, in the second half of the year of graduation, there are basically no important courses, except for those who plan to continue their studies in graduate school, many students who are facing graduation are beginning to prepare to find a job.

And because of this.

After waiting for the report of the start of school, Lee Seung-woo doesn't have to continue to stay in school, anyway, he has taken enough credits, just waiting for graduation.

It's Choi Hyun-jin......

in the living room.

Lee Seung-woo and Choi Hyun-jin sat opposite each other.

Looking at Choi Hyun-jin, Lee Seung-woo asked, "Hyun-jin, have you decided?" ”

Cui Xianzhen nodded solemnly: "Brother, I have decided." Some time ago, I discussed it with my father and my mother, and they also supported my decision. Anyway, it's not easy to find a job after graduating from the literary and artistic creation I learned in school, and since I have decided to follow my brother, instead of wasting another two years in school, it is better to drop out of school and concentrate on working with my brother in the future. ”

Choi Hyun-jin was admitted to the Humanities Department δΈ¨ Chinese α†ž Literature and Art Creation Department at Dongguk University, and because Choi Hyun-jin's family background is different from Lee Seung-woo and Kim Ji-yoon, he also belongs to a lower-middle-class family in South Korea, but when he was a child, he lived relatively close to Lee Seung-woo and Kim Ji-yoon, so they played together.

And Cui Xianzhen also has a younger brother in his family, and his ancestors are not three generations alone, so Cui Xianzhen is not eligible for exemption from military service.

And because of this.

As soon as his freshman year ended, Choi Hyun-jin first went to serve two years of military service, and returned to school after the military service, and he was only a sophomore this year. If you want to get your diploma, you have to go to school for at least another two years.

But for Cui Xianzhen, there is no point in continuing to go to school for another two years, but it is a bit more than worth the loss.

Although he studied literary and artistic creation, Choi Hyun-jin admits that he does not have Lee Seung-woo's talent, and he does not think that the job he will find after graduation can be compared to following Lee Seung-woo.

Now is the early stage of Lee Seung-woo's business, with the relationship between him and Lee Seung-woo growing up together from childhood to adulthood, plus Lee Seung-woo is also willing to give him opportunities and train him. If he doesn't know how to grasp it and continues to go back to school and waste two years, even if he graduates, Lee Seung-woo is still willing to accept him, but by then it is unknown whether Lee Seung-woo will have a place for him.

So after comprehensive consideration, and after communicating with his parents, Choi Hyun-jin decided to drop out of school, and since then he has followed Lee Seung-woo with all his heart.

As for Cui Xianzhen's choice, Lee Seung-woo was not surprised, and nodded: "Okay." Now that you have made a decision, then you will be your brother's agent first, and learn slowly if you don't understand. After the establishment of the company, your business will gradually become proficient, and then my brother will help you arrange it according to the situation. ”

"Thank you, brother."

Choi Hyun-jin hurriedly got up and bowed to Lee Seung-woo.

Li Chengyou was dumbfounded, and said with a smile: "Okay, you kid, you are not an outsider, and you are still engaged in these vain things." Hurry up and sit down, and come to this set less in the future. You know, my brother never treated you as an outsider, otherwise my brother wouldn't have come to you first when he made his first movie. ”

"Hey, hey."

Choi Hyun-jin smirked, scratched his head, and sat down again.

It is precisely because of this relationship with Lee Seung-woo and knowing that Lee Seung-woo will not treat him badly that Choi Hyun-jin made up his mind to drop out of school halfway.

After sitting down, he glanced at Lee Seung-woo, as if he remembered something, Cui Xianzhen suddenly asked: "By the way, brother, it will be Ji Yun Nuna's birthday in two days, do you want me to arrange it, and we will help her celebrate together in two days?" ”
