Chapter 48: I'll try
Cui Manzhi wanted to make money, so Li Zhenyu gave him the opportunity to make money.
"It's not my company. The representative is Zhao Yingjun, who is my relative."
Li Zhenyu lied and decided to send him to work at U·L·I·T.
"Thank you, brother." Cui Wanzhi agreed decisively.
Seeing him so cheerful, Li Zhenyu was surprised and joked: "Hey, what's going on? I was clearly acting coy before."
"My brother is a relative, but I am not my brother. I am very grateful that my brother can remember me and help me find a job."
Cui Wanzhi grabbed his brand new mobile phone and looked at it over and over again, clearly wanting to say something.
"Hey, hurry up and pretend. Don't say anything. If you say anything else, I'll be angry."
Having been exposed by him, Cui Wanzhi scratched his head in embarrassment and put his cell phone into his pocket solemnly.
"Brother, when I get my first month's salary, you must ask me to treat you to dinner."
"Okay." Li Zhenyu agreed readily.
"Youngjun, it's me, your brother Zhenyu, who else could it be?"
"Brother, do you know what time it is here now?"
Zhao Yingjun rubbed his head and sat up from the bed with a headache: "Hey, what happened?"
"No, I have something to tell you... I have a relative who is looking for a job. Is it okay to come to your place?"
"...Oh, since it was introduced by my brother, it's no problem. I'll call the secretary now."
"Okay, thank you. I'll treat you to dinner when you get back...and thank you for your hard work."
"Gui, I will remember it. If you don't invite me to dinner when you return to Seoul, I won't let it go... Hello, brother?"
Zhao Yingjun took the phone away from his ear, his expression instantly helpless: "Hey, I hung up first again, can't you wait for someone to finish what they said?"
Pointing to the phone, Li Zhenyu said seriously: "I heard it, it's done, now I'll send you to report there."
"Are you going like this?" Cui Wanzhi pointed at himself. Dressed in fashionable clothing, he didn't look like a migrant worker.
He is clearly a comedian, a comedian.
"Go report first, and then think about the clothes." Li Zhenyu led him straight to the commercial building where people were coming and going.
On the 13th floor, the elevator door opened.
At first glance, you can see the plaque hanging on the opposite wall, U·L·I·T, Huanyu Investment Company welcomes you.
"Come on!" Li Zhenyu led him into the automatic door, and the beautiful receptionist immediately stood up from behind the front desk.
"Anihasay, may I help you in any way?"
"Representative Zhao asked me to come. We talked on the phone."
"Hey, please wait a moment."
The front desk dialed the internal line and found the representative secretary.
"Anihasay, I'm Secretary Zhang Yinghu. Representative Zhao just had a phone call with me."
Secretary Zhang Yinghu, who has a gentle appearance and eyes, looks like a cultured person at first glance.
However, Zhao Yingjun did not find a woman, but actually found a man to be his secretary. It was really strange.
Isn't he a lustful man who hangs out among flowers every day and is a VVIP who spends money in high-end boutiques in Itaewon?
"I'll leave it to you, Wan Zhi, Feiting (come on)!" Li Zhenyu raised his fist to cheer him up, and Li Zhenyu left the company.
He didn't want Cui Wanzhi to know that he was actually the president of U.L.I.T.
When he has enough capital and experience and wants to start a career, he will be his strong backing!
In this shitty life, we should occasionally give ordinary people a little hope, just a little bit.
The next second after walking into the elevator, a transparent subtitle frame flashed before my eyes again.
'Trigger hidden mission: Help true friends and regain confidence. '
'The task completion rate is 73%, and the rewards are being calculated. '
'Distribute rewards: sincere friendship. '
'Sincere friendship: When the target is called a friend, the host's words and deeds will be more sincere. '
'PS: Only sincerity can win people's hearts. '
Looking inside the elevator door, which is as clean as a mirror, full of sincere smiles.
Li Zhenyu smiled and sighed: "Ai Gu, it seems that I will make more friends in the future. It's great to have many friends and many paths!"
...
Zyplus entertainment, VIP reception room.
Li Zhenyu is meeting with Choi Min-sik, one of the South Korean troika who came to discuss cooperation matters.
This eldest brother is very nice in private, has a gentle personality, and likes to joke and make witty remarks.
I am always laughing and am a very easy to get along with.
"President Li, after reading the script, I told my agent that I would definitely take on this drama."
Cui Minzhi looked at his manager, who nodded affirmatively, indicating that what he said was true.
"Now, I just want to know when can I see the complete script?"
Cui Minzhi really wanted to see what the story in the complete script looked like.
Just watching his part made him toss and turn at night, making it difficult to fall asleep.
A good actor is right when he encounters a good script.
"After the agent and Representative Yin finish discussing the details, I will personally hand the script into your hands, how about it?"
"Great, let's get started!" Cui Minzhi rubbed his hands expectantly.
"Come, drink tea."
Li Zhenyu reached out and invited him to taste the tea he brewed.
"I brought this back from Yanren Street in Incheon."
"Oh, is it so?"
Cui Minzhi stared at the mini tea set with interest, looked around and asked: "Is this a very precious piece of wood?"
"Inside, the whole piece of huanghuali is cut and then carved by a skilled master for two months."
"Wow, luxury goods, this is luxury goods!"
"If Brother Minzhi likes it, you can take it with you when you leave."
"Oh really?"
"Of course, when I see Brother Minzhi, I feel a sense of intimacy. Compared with the close relationship between us, this is nothing."
A smile full of sincerity gave Cui Minzhi a sense of intimacy like seeing family members.
Ai Gu, how could there be such a good president?
Really...
If we had known each other a few years ago, we would have moved here. Wouldn't we become a family in the future?
"Hahaha, President Li... Ani (no), Zhenyu, we will get closer in the future. However, it is better to call you President Li outside."
"Weiei?"
"In this way, others will think that I, an old guy, am bullying you because of my age."
"Hahaha..."
They are both mature and smart people. The husband is affectionate and the concubine is interested. When they get together, they will naturally be harmonious and make money.
In the conference room next door, the atmosphere between Yin Huina and her manager was not so wonderful.
Yin Huina may not have many connections in the entertainment industry or the music industry, and she doesn't know much about the overt and covert rules of the industry.
But she has a whole reliable team and knows how to use this team to make up for her shortcomings and put herself in a favorable position in negotiations.
What's more, this was not a tit-for-tat confrontation, and the atmosphere of the negotiations was good from beginning to end.
The only conflict lies in the role and remuneration.
As a broker, of course you want to get the best treatment for your agents.
This time, they came because of Brother Minzhi's strong request.
Also, for the sake of CJ being the main producer.
Otherwise, a little-known small company is not worthy of their efforts.
He never mentioned a word about the 40-billion-yuan large-scale production.
It's as if they are here to perform as a friendly act and don't take any money.
However, Yin Huina was not stingy in her salary.
This cooperation is just the beginning, and we will have more opportunities to cooperate in the future.
Cui Minzhi's box office appeal is also worth investing in.
In addition, the president has been saying, 'This kind of price is really conscience. '
After two hours of consultation, the two sides finally reached consensus on the details.
Cui Minzhi's remuneration for starring in the film is 660 million, before tax, which translates to less than 3.6 million.
40 billion yuan production, a super luxurious and powerful lineup of movie kings and powerful actors, and the remuneration does not exceed 20% of the total investment.
Conscience, conscience!
Li Zhenyu gave this salary willingly.
However, in Sun Jingzhi's eyes, such a salary is still too high.
If it were up to him to negotiate, the salary would never exceed 600 million.
These guys really don't treat people as human beings!
I like...
The more they squeeze, the more valuable their favors become.
Only by treating people as human beings can you reap benefits that far exceed expectations.
"Okay, I will be responsible for the others."
Sun Kyung-sik has the opposite view. You should treat dogs with the same attitude as dogs.
If the owner is too good, the dog will forget his identity.
If you are accidentally bitten by a dog, even if you kill the dog, the wound will still hurt.
"Where's the director?" Li Zhenyu asked.
Sun Kyung-sik clapped his hands and said, "Ah, I was just about to tell you, Park Chan-wook, we invited Director Park Chan-wook to come this time, you know, right?"
Park Chan-wook graduated from the Department of Philosophy of the University of South Korea. In his early years, he worked odd jobs on the set and also worked as a film critic.
The post-production cost of two small films was limited. Due to cost constraints and alternative themes, they were not favored by the outside world.
In 2000, the movie "Joint Security Area" allowed him to showcase his talent and create a box office myth at the time.
The Millennium Box Office Champion, the Best Film Award at the South Korean Film Awards, and was shortlisted for the 51st Berlin Film Festival. Park Chan-wook was crowned the king with many honors.
At the same time, it also secured the 'freedom of filming' that he had always wanted. '
"I Want Revenge" two years later and "Oldboy" a year later are both his long-standing ambitions and his long-cherished wish in life.
Now, there is only one last step left to complete the final chapter of the trilogy.
"He agreed?" At this time, he should be writing the final chapter of the trilogy.
How can I find time to photograph other people's works?
This has nothing to do with whether the work is excellent or not. It is because the other party is fulfilling a long-cherished wish and all their energy is focused on this matter.
The first two films were hugely successful, so how could I spare time and energy to invest in other works?
The most important thing is energy. Excellent creation requires everyone to devote themselves to it to achieve the best results.
Li Zhenyu didn't want his script to be ruined because of certain people's relationships.
"I will find someone to convince him...but your worries are correct. This is indeed a problem."
The people are here, but the heart is not there, and then the film will be bad.
Sun Jingzhi didn't care about the other party's reputation and career, but he had to bear the loss of real money.
This is something he absolutely cannot accept.
"Why don't you let me try?"
Screenwriters turning into directors is nothing new in South Korea.
But for someone like him, he has only written one work and has never been on a set to directly serve as a director.
There has never been any precedent!
However, Sun Jingzhi was still convinced by him.
The storyboard manuscript this guy took out, yeah
Genius does exist.
However, to be on the safe side, Son Kyung-sik requested to add two days of experienced assistant directors to the crew.
The task of the two of them is to assist him in filming this big production.
The total investment of 40 billion, once it fails, CJ... Son Kyung-sik...
will become a joke in the entertainment industry for a whole year, and his face will also be marked as a 'loser'.
