252. Take this to test cadres? What cadre can't stand such a test!
landed in Seoul, and it was still the people from Xijie Company who were responsible for receiving him.
With a smile on his face, Park Qihan bent over, bowed, and said hello... The lower in this country is always polite to the superior.
"Director Chen, welcome to South Korea again."
"Well, you're welcome."
Chen Fei nodded lightly and looked around.
The flashing lights bloomed all around, and from the moment Chen Fei got off the plane, his whereabouts had all fallen into the eyes of those who cared.
"The reporter arranged by Xijie?" Chen Fei asked with some curiosity.
"Some of them are prepared by us, in order to increase the popularity of the movie, and some of them may be people who are specially responsible for squatting at the airport by other media."
While speaking, Pu Qihan led Chen Fei to the parking lot.
Along the way, someone recognized him and shouted loudly:
"Chen Fei! Oba! ”
"Smecta..."
"Oba!"
The distribution of "Source Code" in South Korea was handled by Xijie, and the box office results were very good, and even Chen Fei's popularity has increased a lot.
The female fans were very enthusiastic, and some even rushed towards him with great enthusiasm, but they were all stopped outside by the bodyguards.
Chen Fei vaguely remembers that the word "rice circle" seems to have been transmitted to China from South Korea, and now that I look at it, it is really scary!
Thanks to their relatively fast walk, otherwise it is really possible to be surrounded by enthusiastic female fans.
"Director Chen, as a sign of friendship, there is also a gift from me to you in the car."
Gift?
Yo?
This stick is quite hearty, right?
Chen Fei raised his eyebrows in some surprise, and couldn't help but be a little curious in his heart, what kind of gift is it, and it is so mysterious?
And as Park Qihan personally opened the car door for him, he couldn't help but smile.
I saw that in the back seat, Li Zhien was sitting straight, with a little trepidation in his eyes at first, but after seeing that it was Chen Fei, a bright smile instantly appeared on his face.
"Oba..."
The 13-year-old girl is still in the bud state like a flower bone, with big eyes flickering, looking very cute.
Chen Fei sat next to her with a smile and touched the girl's little head.
"Why are you here?"
"Senior Park said that you were coming to South Korea, so he specially picked me up from the company and came to the airport to pick me up."
In the co-pilot seat, Pu Qihan smiled apologetically, "It's a bit self-made, and I hope Director Chen won't be surprised." ”
"It's fine." Chen Fei replied to him, and looked at the little girl again, "How does it feel about trainee training?" Isn't it tiring? How do I think you're all thin? ”
Li Zhien nodded slightly, "It's a little tired, but only by training hard can you have a good harvest." ”
Call...
With a sigh of relief, Pu Qihan hurriedly added: "Director Chen, don't worry, Xijie will definitely take care of her, Zhien is very smart and hardworking, she usually increases the amount of training by herself..."
Chen Fei interrupted him: "How are things arranged at her house?" ”
"It's all done, her family is in the food business, and it just so happens that Xijie also has this business, so the president decided to let her father act as an agent for one of the company's food..."
The stick is still quite quick in handling things, and all the procedures are decided by the consortium itself, which is quite convenient.
Driving all the way to the headquarters of Xijie, Chen Fei once again saw the senior executives of Xijie Company that he saw when the movie was turned on last time.
Inevitably, it was another reception feast.
However, in the middle of the banquet, a senior executive of Xijie suddenly said, "Director Chen, I heard that ShowBox has been in contact with you recently?" ”
Chen Fei chewed a bite of kimchi, feeling that the taste was a little strange, and he always felt like eating Northeast pickles, so he simply threw the remaining half of the chopsticks aside.
"Well, it does."
Hearing him admit without hesitation, the group of people at the table suddenly became a little nervous.
Xijie and ShoeBox are rivals, and the South Korean film market is already so big, and everyone fights very hard for profit.
If Chen Fei was poached by ShoeBox, it would be a big loss for Xijie!
The senior executive hurriedly added: "Director Chen must be careful, the situation on the ShoeBox side is complex and volatile, and what they are best at is taking advantage of contract loopholes and intrigues to compete for the interests of partners." ”
"Oh? Is it? Chen Fei looked up at him with some curiosity: "But it's quite generous over there." ”
The high-level man suddenly showed a nervous look on his face: "Director Chen, that's just a means for them, we have an old saying in South Korea: Nothing to be courteous is either a traitor or a thief, you must not be fooled by them." ”
Wrap me up?
Chen Fei smiled: "Don't worry, if I can develop so far, I will definitely not be too stupid, it is not so easy to fool me." ”
As he spoke, he corrected seriously: "Oh, by the way, I have to tell you that there is an ancient Chinese saying that nothing to be courteous or to be a traitor or a thief, and it comes from the Legend of the West Chamber." ”
“……”
After a little silence, the senior smirked awkwardly, "Oh, yes? I actually saw this quote on the Internet last night, and the following is marked as saying that it is from a famous writer in the history of South Korea. ”
Chen Fei pursed his lips and didn't continue to talk to him.
Your experts also say that the Republic of Korea has a cultural history of 6,000 years, which is like a fart.
…
At the end of the dinner, Pu Qihan took the driver to send Chen Fei and Li Zhien to a villa area.
"This is the residence arranged by Xijie for Miss Li Zhien, it is very safe, Director Chen has a good rest, I will pick you up at nine o'clock tomorrow morning."
"Okay, I'm sorry for you."
Chen Fei nodded, got out of the car after Li Zhien, opened the door and walked into the room.
Opening the door, the girl thoughtfully brought Chen Fei slippers, and then asked, "Oba, do you want to take a bath?" Or just a rush? I'm going to put you in the bath water first. ”
"Soak it, it's all kimchi smell when you eat a meal."
"Okay, wait a minute."
Taking advantage of Li Zhien's bath water, Chen Fei deliberately walked around the room and looked at the surrounding environment.
There is no monitoring...
"Oba, the water is ready, it's time to wash." The girl shouted downstairs.
went downstairs and took the men's pajamas prepared in advance from her, and Chen Fei walked into the bathroom.
The water temperature in the bathtub is just right, and the rose petals are specially sprinkled, which tastes fragrant.
"Oba, you wash first, and I'll come back later."
"Don't bother." Chen Fei stopped her.
"Huh?" Li Zhien didn't react for a while.
"Let's soak together." Chen Fei pointed to the location of the bathtub and said, "Help me pinch my shoulder, it's very sore." ”
"Yay!"
“???”
The warm air was turned on in the bathroom, the water temperature was just right, and Chen Fei lay quietly in the water, enjoying the massage of the soft and boneless little hand.
It's just that the little girl is a little dishonest, she was still pressing her shoulder, and she slipped down in the blink of an eye, like a small fish.
"Just massage, don't move blindly." Chen Fei warned her.
"Oba? Why? ”
Li Zhien pouted, a little unhappy in her heart, it was like this last time, why is it still like this this time? Obviously she was drinking papaya juice very hard.
"Minor, indefinite."
“……”
~
At nine o'clock the next morning, Park Qihan's car appeared at the door of the villa on time.
Chen Fei and Li Zhien walked out one after the other, and then got into the car.
"Send her to the company first, she will take a day off, and if she delays for too long, she will not be able to keep up with the training progress."
"Okay." Pu Qihan nodded slightly.
"Oba, when are you going back? Can I visit you while I'm on vacation? ”
The little girl blinked her watery eyes and looked at Chen Fei with a look of hope.
"It should be tonight's plane, there are quite a lot of domestic things, call me when you are on vacation, you are welcome to come over and play at any time."
"Yay!"
The name of the trainee company arranged by Xijie for Li Zhien is "LOEN Entertainment", and there will be a 10-month trainee life, and she will be arranged to make her debut in the future.
Unlike other trainees, Lee did not sign a contract with any company.
In Xijie's view, the ownership of this girl belongs to Chen Fei, and they are only responsible for temporary "maintenance".
…
At the end of the scene, the stars were shining.
A group of very familiar but unnamed Korean artists surrounded the scene, each holding champagne, imitating the finale banquet on the Oscar side.
After looking for a while at the scene, Chen Fei finally saw a few actors whose names he could shout.
Kong Liu, Ma Dong-seok, the last man in South Korea, Kim Yoon-sil...
These are his favorite actors.
Especially Ma Dongxi, although he has just debuted now, his big waist and round tendons are still quite conspicuous among a group of people.
Chen Fei suddenly wanted to try, is this guy really able to slap people in the face?
It's just that when he took the initiative to go up and talk, the other party's respectful gesture of constantly bowing made him suppress the doubts in his heart.
Taking the initiative to ask if you can fight, this seems a little too abrupt...
The host of the scene shouted on the stage to congratulate the completion of "New World", and invited the director and the main creative team to speak on stage.
Chen Fei was also among those invited, and he was still standing in the front row.
However, he didn't say much, just wished a box office hit, and briefly praised the acting skills of several actors.
…
The finale party ended quickly, and Chen Fei didn't linger too long, because ShowBox's car was already waiting for him in front of the hotel.
Xijie's group of people had mixed eyes, staring directly at him as he got into a competitor's car and disappeared into the traffic.
One of the high-level executives turned his head to look at Park Qihan, his eyes solemn: "You must take care of that girl, she is an important link between us and Director Chen, and we must ensure that her trainee process is safe and sound."
Also, immediately go to the producer, make a debut plan for her according to her style, and make sure to make her a national idol. ”
Men are the ones who know the best in the minds of their kind.
Xijie's senior management thought that they had read Chen Fei's heart, and felt that he was the kind of person who had a habit of cultivating, otherwise why did so many hot girls not choose, but they chose Li Zhien, and specially arranged for her to be a trainee.
That couldn't be more obvious!
Cultivating a desire to conquer, many people in South Korea love this bite......
~
A group of high-level executives of Xijie were figuring out Chen Fei's psychology, and on ShoeBox's side, Chen Fei met an acquaintance.
That mom sang young woman!
"Director Chen, we met again, forgive me for being clumsy, I didn't recognize you last time."
Chen Fei looked at her with some surprise, and was surprised: "I didn't expect you, you are still from ShowBox?" ”
"Meet Zhu Zhihui, SM Company's trainee agent and deputy director of ShowBox artist agency."
SM?
Chen Fei raised his eyebrows, and suddenly had a clear understanding of the chaos in South Korea.
As a trainee agent, he is actually the person in charge of a well-known club, and he is also one of the senior executives of a film and television brokerage company.
Disorderly!
It's a mess!
This nepotism is really complicated!
Chen Fei was trying to smooth out the relationship, but Zhu Zhihui suddenly pointed his finger at a middle-aged man next to him: "Let me introduce you, this is Park Bucheng, the producer of the ShowBox Film and Television Department." ”
"Park... It's always good. ”
Chen Fei reached out and shook hands with him, muttering to himself, the name of this stick is really strange enough.
"Knowing that you haven't eaten yet, we have prepared a rich reception banquet and a wonderful welcome program."
“???”
followed the other party into a box, in addition to the familiar kimchi on the table, Chen Fei also saw the "wonderful show" that the other party said.
Nine girls with different styles were waiting in the box, bowing and saying hello when they came in.
"Hello Director Chen, thank you, welcome to ShowBox, I hope you have a home-away experience."
What the hell does it feel like you're entering a green building all of a sudden?
Park Bucheng happily invited Chen Fei to the first place, and then sat on his left hand, while Zhu Zhihui sat down on his right hand.
A group of other high-ranking officials sat in their positions according to their positions.
"Smack!"
Zhu Zhihui clapped his hands, and the girls walked straight to a small stage opposite the box, dancing to the rhythm of the music that Chen Fei couldn't understand.
Grandma's legs?
Take this to test the cadres?
What cadre can't stand such a test?
Zhu Zhihui lay in his ear, exhaled like an orchid, and whispered: "This is SM's new Girls' Generation (Girls' Generation) group, which is expected to debut in 07, Director Chen can take a look, do you like it?" ”
Girls' Generation?
You're challenging my brother's weakness!
In other words, which one is Lin Yu'er?
"Ahem." Chen Fei suddenly became serious: "If you're hungry, eat first." ”
"Respectfully Director Chen."
There's an advantage to eating with a bunch of polite people, who speak better than the other, and the compliments come out as if they don't want money.
During the banquet, when several girls from Girls' Generation came to toast, Chen Fei also remembered everyone's names.
may be because she hasn't grown up yet, and the current Lin Yu'er is not as cute as she grew up later, and her little face still has a trace of baby fat.
Born in 1990, she has just turned 16 this year, and it will take three years to officially become an adult.
The three words of underage still failed to break through Chen Fei's weakness after all!
…
After eating, the group went to the conference room.
Park Bucheng said very sincerely: "We very much hope to reach a cooperation with you, we uphold a sincere attitude, and promise to be more generous than Xijie." ”
45% box office + copyright share!
This is the sincerity conveyed to Chen Fei by the trustee of ShowBox, which is five percent higher than that of Xijie.
But don't underestimate this 5%, if it is measured in dollars, combined with a movie with a strong reputation, this 5% is at least a gap of tens of millions of dollars.
Chen Fei had already decided before he came, and he was going to put his eggs in two baskets to try.
Since the other party is so sincere, then he will naturally not be stingy.
Anyway, these Korean scripts are also eating dust in the script library, so they simply don't take them out and exchange them for money, and they can also increase their popularity.
Why not?
"I believe in ShowBox's sincerity."
Chen Fei smiled, took out a script from his bag, and handed it to Park Bucheng, who was sitting opposite.
The other party showed great importance, stood up suddenly, bent down slightly, stretched out his hands, and showed a look of surprise on his face.
took the script and saw two words marked on it.
The Crucible ()
Park Bucheng didn't even open the script, and directly led a group of escorts in the conference room to bow together: "Thank you very much, I can promise you that the next cooperation will be very smooth." ”
The name of a man, the shadow of a tree.
Chen Fei's "repeated victories" record has spread all over the South Korean entertainment circle!
What's more, his Oscar for Best Screenplay and the Golden Bear at the Berlin Film Festival are indeed good, and these two awards alone are enough to make him sideways in the South Korean entertainment industry.
Zhu Zhihui asked intimately, "Is there anything else you need to instruct?" ”
Charged?
Chen Fei was silent for a while, and said, "That Lin Yu'er just now is very good, arrange for her to play a role in the movie." ”
As soon as the words fell, several people in the conference room were all in front of them, and the smile on Zhu Zhihui's face became brighter and brighter.
When doing business, what I am most afraid of meeting is the kind of partner who has no desire and no desire, and it is really difficult to enhance the relationship with that kind of person, and there may be no opportunity to continue to cooperate after this time.
But if the partner is willing to make a request, regardless of whether it is a request that cannot be put on the table, it is a kind of signal.
Cooperation can continue!
Zhu Zhihui stood up and said with a smile: "It's quite late, I have prepared a room for you in the hotel next door, and I will arrange for Yu'er to take you to rest." ”
Here I have to mention the class division of the South Korean entertainment industry.
Chungmuro movie actor> TV drama actor> singer> idol > comedian.
Although idols are not ranked last, in the eyes of real consortia and capital, they are similar to commodities, the kind of items that can be traded at any time!
And "Girls' Generation" is obviously also within the scope of being traded, the only difference may be that they are facing high-level characters.
Made! The 16-year-old girl who is not yet an adult was taken out by you and given away?
Chen Fei secretly complained, shook his head, and glanced at his watch.
It was exactly six o'clock in the afternoon.
Late fart!
"Take me to the airport, people stay for now, let's talk about it later, there are still a lot of things waiting for me in China, I don't have time to stay here longer."
"Okay."
Park Bucheng hurriedly took over the topic, took out his mobile phone and began to arrange the driver.
Zhu Zhihui was a little disappointed, but still smiled: "I will instruct Yu'er, and the filming of the movie will be arranged for her, waiting for your visit again." ”
"See you later."
Chen Fei waved his hand casually, briefly sorted out the things in his backpack, and "inadvertently" revealed several scripts.
A group of sticks watched with great amazement, and some of them couldn't help but swallow their saliva.
Rich and generous......
