Chapter 158: Picking up the leaky queen, the company building
“Li Zhien, female, age 17, she is underage, boss!”
“Age is not the important thing.”
“But look She doesn’t look like a great beauty.”
“Isn’t she cute?”
"."
The more Pei Yun looked at this resume information, the more confused he became: "I had participated in more than 20 selections by large entertainment agencies before, but failed.
Later, I participated in many competitions in South Korea. I didn’t get any success in the talent show. This time I participated in The Voice because I was too nervous, so I only got a moderate evaluation from the instructor here.”
To be honest.
Looking at Li Zhien's resume information, Pei Yun really couldn't find any bright spots.
Perhaps what stands out most is her persistence.
Always failing, always persisting.
South Korea is a magical place where almost all young people dream of becoming idol stars. Every one of them has participated in the selection of trainees and can sing and dance.
But there are not many examples like Li Zhien who have suffered repeated defeats.
Pei Yun became more and more curious as he watched, and finally couldn't help but ask: "Boss, what do you like about her?"
"Have a dream?"
"Have a dream?"
"Yes."
Zhou Yutang put down his crossed legs and smiled very comfortably: "Who has a dream?" All amazing.”
“Trust me, if you sign her, you won’t be disappointed in the future.”
Not only will you not be disappointed.
This sister who is still running into obstacles will have a very famous stage name IU in the future.
This is the female SOLO singer who will stand at the top of South Korea in the future. She has slaughtered the South Korean G-chart by herself. The total number of music downloads has exceeded 120 million times. She has truly achieved the first place in South Korea. She is said to be a South Korean diva. Pass!
Zhou Yutang was originally thinking about whether he could catch some mistakes.
Unexpectedly, I got a first prize lottery ticket on the scratch ticket
……………………
The trip to South Korea is about to come to an end.
Mao Xiaoyu booked a flight for tomorrow morning, and Zhou Yutang made an appointment with Li Xiuman for dinner as usual tonight.
“It’s really amazing.”
Lee Soo Man still hasn’t changed at all. When he smiles, his eyes become narrowed, and the four words “I am an old fox” are almost written on his face. .
"Compared to President Li, my achievements are really nothing."
"I am being modest. When I was your age, I was not qualified to sit in front of the big shots of the chaebol and discuss cooperation with them on an equal footing." "
The slit behind Li Xiuman's eyes bloomed, and he asked curiously: "Can you tell me what cooperation conditions you and Samsung's President Li have negotiated?"
"We? We will jointly invest in a company that specializes in film, television, variety shows and entertainment content. The relationship here will be managed by President Li Fuzhen, and I will be responsible for content output."
Zhou Yutang said calmly.
It won't be long before everyone in this circle should know that he and Li Fuzhen are collaborating.
It doesn’t hurt to tell Old Man Li in advance.
The expression on Li Xiuman's face was a little stunned, a little shocked, and a little bit as disbelieving as Song Qian, who was acting as the translator.
However, compared to Song Qian who was so shocked that her lips were open and she could hardly speak, Li Xiuman’s energy-raising skills were much better. He smiled and raised his wine glass:
“Congratulations, you can Cooperate with that President Lee and you will have no obstacles in South Korea in the future.”
"I'll lend you some good words."
After dinner, Li Xiuman, an old fox, pretended to ask Song Qian to give Zhou Yutang a gift.
Zhou Yutang smiled, seeing through his mind, but did not refuse.
People are in a foreign country.
The fellow villagers burst into tears when they saw the fellow villagers.
Zhou Yutang had a good impression of Song Qian, a bright and generous girl from Lu Province, and always treated her as a friend.
I haven’t seen this girl for a while, so I might as well communicate with her.
Song Qian also cherishes this friend who is obviously the same age but extremely mature and powerful. She is still a little restrained in front of Li Xiuman, but she relaxes a lot when she is with Zhou Yutang. She opens her big eyes and asks in surprise: "Really? Yu Tang, have you really reached a cooperation with Samsung Group?"
"Correction, it is a preliminary private cooperation with Ms. Li Fuzhen."
Zhou Yutang rested his hands behind his head , smiled slightly and said: "Everyone just gets what they need."
"Wow, Li Fuzhen is the eldest princess of the Samsung chaebol. If you are not here, you don't understand how terrifying the chaebol here is."
Song Qian said with emotion: "There is a popular saying here, you know the South Koreans What are the three things that South Koreans cannot live without? ”
“What are the three things that South Koreans cannot live without?”< br>
Song Qian raised three white fingers and counted them one by one.
"It sounds outrageous."
"It's more exaggerated than you think. Yu Tang, you are really popular in South Korea now. I watched that movie several times with my roommates. "
"I remember that the little Crystal in your dormitory is my fan."
"Hahaha, you remember this, she will be very happy to know this year. Er's childhood group is also getting better, and the album "GEE" is very popular."
Song Qian is very happy.
Obviously.
She doesn’t have many friends here.
The number of friends who can listen to her true feelings in her native language is zero.
Originally, Sm Company also had a Chinese named Han Gen, who was a member of Super Junior. He could occasionally get together to chat in his hometown dialect, but later Han Gen was sent to China by Lee Soo Man in the form of a small team. develop.
Meeting Zhou Yutang seemed to open up my desire to talk.
Zhou Yutang will return tomorrow.
We gave Mao Xiaoyu and Sister Yun a special day off tonight.
I was bored alone, so I asked: "Is there any fun place in South Korea?"
"Fun place?"
Song Qian tilted her head. After thinking about it, he smiled sheepishly: "South Korea is a very small place. I really can't think of anything interesting at the moment. Compared to our National Palace Museum and other attractions like Gyeongbokgung Palace, they all have a petty atmosphere. Nanshan Tower has become quite famous in recent years.”
Zhou Yutang raised his eyebrows: "Oh, you mean that padlock place?"
"Yes, yes, yes, how do you know?"
Song Qian clapped her hands, her expression slightly excited and surprised.
In her mind, Zhou Yutang should be the kind of top star who goes to high-end places every day and deals with high-end people.
“I’m not an old antique, okay, but just put a lock on it, how could it be so popular?”
Zhou Yutang shook his head speechlessly.
Actually, he also listened to what Shu Chang said in private chats.
Korean dramas are indeed very popular in recent years. Starting from "Blue Life and Death", there are high-quality Korean dramas such as "Love Hotel", "Witch Yoo Hee", "Stairway to Heaven", "Full House" and so on. The response in the country has been extremely enthusiastic.
Song Qian said with a smile: "Actually, this joke was made popular by Korean dramas. Later, Nanshan Tower gradually developed into a famous check-in place. It is said that lovers will write on Nanshan Tower The lock with each other's names hanging there means good wishes and we will never break up."
"Nonsense, we should break up."
"Pfft, but South Korean men are not as romantic as shown in TV dramas. They are very calculating."
"It's a pity that it's too far over there, otherwise it would be good to go over and watch the excitement. By the way, I I know there’s a pretty good place, so I’ll take you there to check it out.”
Listening to Song Qian communicating with the driver in Korean, we drove for more than 20 minutes, twisting and turning, and finally arrived at the destination. .
“This is under the Han River Bridge, and there are cherry blossom trees on both sides. Unfortunately, it’s not the cherry blossom season.”
“Do you come here often?”
Zhou Yutang got out of the car wearing glasses and a mask.
"The Lonely Agent" is also very popular in South Korea. Now that he is very popular in South Korea, he has to take some precautions. Fortunately, there is no one here tonight.
Follow Song Qian to get off the car and walk down the gentle slope stairs. You can see the river water sparkling under the moonlight.
“This is the Han River?”
“Yes.”
Song Qian pulled Zhou Yutang to sit on a wooden chair by the river, and pointed to the bridge across the upper left: "Look, that's the Han River Bridge. When a train passes on it, there will be very bright lights. It looks like a rainbow underneath the bridge.”
“You seem to be familiar with South Korea. Do you come here often?”
“This is the first time we met. "Want to See You" was broadcast on KBS TV station here. It was not long after I came here, and it has been almost two years now. You are really amazing and you are already so famous.
I am still a trainee. I usually have to work hard for my debut, and only when I feel too tired do I come here to hang out with my friends."
Song Qian gradually started talking more: "It feels like being here. Very free and mentally relaxed. ”
The two of them were sitting and chatting under the Han River. Zhou Yutang was mainly listening to Song Qian's detailed description of the social conditions and habits in South Korea.
Know yourself and the enemy, and you will be able to fight without danger.
Since you want to layout and export Chinese film and television content here, it is most basic to have a certain understanding of the market here.
Pei Yun can provide him with information from one angle. Song Qian's position is even lower. She can also provide Zhou Yutang with information from another angle.
A lot of information is intertwined. The inconspicuous details in this information are very important to Zhou Yutang and will affect his future direction and strategy.
"Yu Tang, I've been eating with you for several times. Let me treat you to something to eat tonight."
The two of them sat and chatted for more than half an hour. Song Qian suddenly thought of something and said.
“Is there a restaurant here?”
“There is no restaurant, but there is a convenience store.”
Driven by curiosity, she followed Song Qian to the convenience store on the bank of the Han River. shop.
The scale is not large, but there are a bunch of instant noodles on the shelves, with various flavors and a dazzling array, which amazed Zhou Yutang.
“According to what we say over there, instant noodles are junk food, and eating too much is always bad, but here in South Korea, instant noodles are a very serious food.”
“. "
"Really, many people just eat instant noodles as a meal."
Song Qian paid for two boxes of instant noodles and cooked them skillfully. She looked at Zhou Yutang who was a little surprised. With an expression on his face, he chuckled and said: "Can you eat it? If you can't eat it, I can handle it by myself." Just as he was making noodles and preparing to move the position, he heard someone next to him weakly shouting: "Well, Sister Song Qian, Is it you? ”
"Who is it?"
Song Qian turned around and saw Zhang Hanhan's fleshy face at a glance, and said in surprise: "Seulqi, why are you here?"
"Uh."
The girl named Seulgi smiled naively and said: "The assessment will start soon. Sister Zhuhyun and I come here to relax. This is."< br>
She saw the tall and straight figure next to Song Qian.
Wearing only a pure black shirt, the silver metal buttons on the cuffs are particularly eye-catching at night, simple dark jeans and simple and refreshing canvas shoes.
Although Zhou Yutang was wearing a mask, her outstanding temperament and deep eyes still gave Jiang Seulqi a feeling that gradually overlapped with the handsome image in her mind.
Wait a minute, is that a hairstyle?
“Hello, I am Zhou Yutang.”
Zhou Yutang took off his mask, smiled and briefly greeted Song Qian's friend.
"Ah, hello, I'm Jiang Seulgi."
Jiang Seulgi's pupils were shocked and she stayed in place.
Her reflex arc seemed a bit long, and it took her a while to react, and she hurriedly bowed to show respect.
“Ah! Jiang Seulgi, why have you soaked instant noodles for so long? Are you eating them secretly?”
Another voice came, and a girl with a delicate face ran out of the store.
Then
When I saw Zhou Yutang, my eyes were also shaking. Bae Zhuhyun followed Jiang Seulqi and bowed 90 degrees to Zhou Yutang to apologize:
"I'm sorry! Senior, I didn't mean it. Don’t use honorifics!”
Shock and panic were written on Pei Zhuhyun’s face.
She didn't expect to meet a senior like Zhou Yutang while eating instant noodles here.
He is also a very popular senior recently.
Bae Zhuhyun peeked cautiously.
Amazing.
It is unbelievable even if you see it with your own eyes.
Jiang Seulqi was not much better than her. She kept tugging at her sleeves with an excited expression.
Under the Han River Bridge.
The instant noodle army expanded from two to four.
After chatting briefly for a while, we found out that these were two SM company trainees.
Because he has a good relationship with Song Qian, Zhou Yutang complied with their request for autographs and photos.
But looking at the two people's excited but restrained expressions, Zhou Yutang felt a little funny. At this time, he received a call from Pei Yun. After eating the instant noodles, he took the initiative to say goodbye.
"I still have something to do, you can play slowly. The driver will take you back then."
"Thank you, senior!"
Kang Seulgi and Bae Joo Hyun are here again bow.
After Zhou Yutang left, Song Qian and the two trainee sisters did not stay long and took the car back to the dormitory.
On the way, Jiang Seulqi couldn't suppress her curiosity: "Sister Song Qian, are you and this guy dating?"
Bai Zhuhyun's eyes were also shining with the excitement of gossip.
"How is that possible."
Song Qian shook her head and smiled helplessly: "We are just good friends. He came here to participate in a movie promotion event and just had dinner with Teacher Xiuman in the evening. After dinner, I acted as his translator and took him around. Don’t talk about this matter everywhere, otherwise it will cause trouble to Yu Tang, you know?”
She is calm on the outside, but on the inside. But there was a ripple.
The gap is really too far.
It was so far away that she didn’t dare to think wildly.
When facing Zhou Yutang, Song Qian felt like looking up at a mountain.
I really don’t know what kind of girl would be worthy of such an outstanding person.
“I got it!”
Kang Seulgi made a gesture of covering her mouth with tape to show that she was tight-lipped.
Pei Zhuxuan also nodded hurriedly.
Back in the dormitory, the quiet Bae Zhuhyun suddenly burst into laughter,
"What's wrong with you, Sister Zhuhyun?"
"Dafa, I want Zhou Yutang’s autograph and photo.”
I thought it would be a big loss because I practiced too late today and ended up not going to the movies with sister Yoona. I didn't expect that fate was so wonderful that I could capture the wild Zhou Yutang.
Pei Zhuhyun looked at Zhou Yutang on her phone, who was posing with her scissor hands for a photo, and said in a very excited tone: "Ah, Seulgi, I suddenly understand why you like him."
" Isn’t he more handsome in real life than in the movie?”
“Yes, it feels like all the trainees in the company will become amateurs standing in front of him!”
…… ……………
"Strange, why are there so many trainees asking for leave today?"
After the dinner with Zhou Yutang, Li Xiuman returned to the company and continued working.
After several meetings in a row, I went down and walked around the practice room below.
He likes to watch the energetic trainees sweating. Their dreams are constantly laying a solid foundation for his entertainment kingdom.
There are obviously fewer people in the practice room today than usual.
It seems that none of the SNSD members are here, as well as Bae Joo Hyun and a few potential trainees.
But Li Xiuman didn’t care.
I returned to the office and sat down absent-mindedly, my mood still unable to calm down.
Taking off his glasses, leaning back and sinking into the boss's chair, this old man from the South Korean entertainment industry always had Zhou Yutang's figure in his mind.
From the time I first came to commercial performances to make money, now I am actually collaborating with big names like Li Fuzhen.
This rate of progress is simply frightening.
The fingers were crossed and tapped rhythmically, as if they had seen the grand occasion of the young man taking over the entertainment industry.
Lee Soo Man murmured as if in a dream: "The South Korean entertainment industry will soon change."
…………………………………………
The trip to South Korea comes to an end.
Zhou Yutang sat in the back seat of the car thinking about the gains and losses of this trip.
First of all, the biggest gain is naturally reaching a cooperation agreement with Li Fuzhen.
The second thing is that I picked up Li Zhien through mistake.
It has been handed over to Pei Yun, the first sister of Jiangdong Film and Television's South Korean branch.
It doesn’t matter if your singing skills are not good enough at the moment, and it doesn’t matter if your stage performance is poor. Just find a vocal teacher to take care of you. Gold will always shine.
Finally, there are the benefits brought by "The Alone Agent" and "The Voice".
I participated in several promotional activities in South Korea, and the results were good. When Zhou Yutang left South Korea, the number of moviegoers had exceeded 6.2 million. SHOWBOX estimated that the final number of moviegoers would be around 6.8 million based on box office trends. .
This has topped South Korea’s annual box office championship so far this year.
The popularity of "The Voice" in South Korea has also attracted large advertising groups such as LG and SK. If the ratings are stable above 18%, it will likely bring dividends of more than eight figures. profit.
On Zhou Yutang's side, there were creative and supervisory staff, and he did nothing else. It was like just coming here to pick up money in a sack.
After returning to the capital, I was directly taken to a meeting by Sister Shuang.
"As for the crew of "Youth", you, the boss, have to go and control the situation."
"Let's wait until Magnolia comes back."
Zhou Yutang rubbed it. Rubbing his forehead, he felt a little tired after a long journey.
"The second and third seasons of "Classmates" are scheduled to be broadcast on June 18. The first payment has been received. The final season will start filming in July. Should we arrange for Yang Mi and the others to participate in a variety show on Mango Channel? ”
"You can make money so fast?"
Zhou Yutang instantly became energetic: "I'll call and make arrangements. Let's go to "Happy Camp". This time, I'll take Xiao Zhao and Li Yao with me, and I'll ask Teacher He to take care of them."
Such a true performance made even Sister Shuang laugh: "The ratings for last year's broadcast were good, so I renewed my contract for the next few seasons. Mango TV wants to maintain the relationship with you, and this time the money is very high. Happy.”
Generally speaking, Kuaiben only invites popular celebrities.
Zhao Liying and Li Yao are not included in this list, so the crew of "Classmates" did not have them last time.
However, Zhou Yutang once again deepened his cooperative relationship with Mango Channel because of "Singer", and his status is not what it used to be, but he still has this reputation.
"Zhang Yiming has reached an agreement. They urgently need to recover the funds and require full payment. You have to go and talk to Zhang Yiming in person."
"How much money is left in the company's account? ?”
“Including the newly received money from “Classmate”, the available funds are nine figures.”
“I’ll talk about it. It’s definitely not possible to buy a nine-story building at this time. Damn, sister Shuang, if you have money, buy two houses. You will definitely thank me in two years.”
Zhou Yutang nodded slightly and answered the message with his cell phone while talking.
Several hit projects have made several times the profit, plus the dividend income from "The Voice".
We have a total of hundreds of millions of working capital, which is an advantage that even some large companies do not have.
“Forget it, the real estate industry is not stable this year. If the house falls at this time, will you be able to take over?”
Li Shuang shook his head and sighed: “How about you stop buying a house? Wait? I feel like housing prices may fall again next year.”
As a general under Zhou Yutang, Sister Shuang earned seven figures last year and is also a relatively wealthy woman. There is absolutely no problem in buying a house in the capital, but she does not agree with Zhou Yutang's idea of hoarding real estate.
"Sister Shuang, please don't regret it in the future."
"Haha, don't worry, I definitely won't regret it." Sister Shuang tossed her hair, full of confidence.
“.”
Seeing that he could not be persuaded, Zhou Yutang put down his mobile phone, stood up and said, “Come here first, I have something important to do.”
"Meet Zhang Yiming?"
"No, don't call today, we'll talk about things tomorrow."
Zhou Yutang picked up Liu Yifei in his car and took her to a place.
Liu Yifei's expression was a little nervous and a little shy. She tugged on Zhou Yutang's sleeve and said weakly:
"Xiao Zhou, do you have to do it?"
