1st year Max Level Manager chapter 637

Offer 2

"I'm sorry, but it seems difficult."

As soon as those words came out, silence flowed.

CEO Shin Shin-ki, who created this place,

Richard Kane, Asia general manager, who proposed a whopping $3 million for Lee Tae-poong's appearance,

Director James King, who was excited to cast Lee Tae-poong,

And next to me is Lee Tae-poong, Hollywood

CEO Jin Seong-joon, who was curious to see if he was going to the show, couldn't help but look surprised.

It is difficult for a lead role in a blockbuster Korean movie to exceed 1 billion won, because the offer of a whopping $3 million for a supporting role was rejected with a single blow.

Richard Cain, 21st Century Wolf's Asia General Manager, blinks his eyes and asks again.

"Is your young friend deaf? Listen carefully! It's not 300,000 dollars, it's 3 million dollars. In US dollars, not Hong Kong dollars!"

Since Richard Kane's main office is in Hong Kong, he even suspects that I may have been mistaken.

The exchange rate for the Hong Kong dollar is about 140 Korean won per dollar.

In other words, 3 million Hong Kong dollars was about 420 million won in Korean money.

Since zeros are missing from the US dollar, he clearly states that it is US dollars.

But I shook my head again.

"It's not about money.

Typhoon Yi is a learner who received the Grand Prize at the Hwangryong Film Festival, which is currently the best film festival in Korea. To advance into Hollywood, I have no intention of lowering the level of Typhoon Lee."

Among the top actors, there are quite a few actors who dream of entering Hollywood.

So they used to star in Hollywood movies for a modest fee and supporting roles.

Of course I respect their choices, but at least I didn't mean to.

in the next three years.

Global content streaming service

This is because, when N.FLIX, a Korean company, realizes the power of Korean content that is eaten not only in Asia but also in the world, it starts a mega project starring Korean actors.

And when it became a huge success, two years later, Hollywood studios began to make mega-large films starring Koreans.

Before returning, Eugene was riding the boom and became a star in a Hollywood movie, so I was waiting for that moment and I was planning to send Lee Tae-poong and the leading actors I have with me to overseas countries with the best treatment.

When that time comes, Korea's top stars will soon become the world's top stars.

However, it is necessary to speak a little English.

But Richard Cain, who doesn't know the future, asks with an absurd expression.

"Aren't you going to lower your grade? Are you asking for a lead role?"

Yes. I have no intention of taking on the role of Typhoon unless it is the lead role."

"Heh~ Hey, Mr. Jung. Aren't you mistaking something? Starring so easily to an Asian in Hollywood

Can you give me a seat? There is no other lead role for an Asian other than a Hong Kong-based kung-fu movie star! I don't know if the producers give up on the box office again.

"I know it will be difficult, too."

"But why? If you are worried because the work is a problem, don't worry. This work is endorsed by me, Richard Cain."

Richard Cain, who joined the company as a part-time student, wrote the legend of success at Wolf Company in the 21st century because he had a better eye for work than anyone else.

As a joke, rumors circulated that there was a success discriminator in his eyes.

But I shook my head again.

sorry. It can be difficult to get an offer to star in Hollywood, but I don't think that doesn't mean it's impossible."

Even if N.FLIX and Hollywood studios did not advance into Asia, there was a reason why I did not accept the offer to appear in this typhoon.

Well-crafted from (Forgotten War)

This is because the producer, Richard Kane, will change the role of the Korean character 'Lieutenant Choi's' to an Asian stereotype.

Unlike Korea, where film directors are the first of its kind, in a major Hollywood film company in the United States, where huge capital is invested, a director is simply a staff employed by a studio.

Therefore, it is not uncommon for producers to draw a straight line on the screenplay and edit the script as they please.

So, in the order of production sites for major American films, the management of the film company is 1

There were also jokes that the ranking, producers and producers were ranked 2nd, star actors were 3rd, and director was only 4th.

So I could never let Lee Tae-poong take on such a role.

Because my learning is precious.

In any case, when I refused, Richard Kane stared at me and looked at CEO Shin Jong-ki with an expression of incomprehension.

"Mr. Shin. Is this a Korean-style 'mildang'?"

Nope. That doesn't seem to be it."

Richard Kane raises his voice as if he doesn't understand.

"Then, after coming all the way here, I have to talk to the typhoon himself. Did you hear that he was also here?"

CEO Shin Jong-ki looks at me with a puzzled expression.

It is because I was completely ignoring me to ask an actor, not a manager, to contact me directly.

But I said it was okay, and I called Lee Tae-poong first.

If you firmly reject this kind of thing, it won't get any worse.

-Yes. Brother, I'll go now.

After a while.

Surrounded by bodyguards, Lee Tae-poong greeted the fans gathered at the scene and approached us.

And Lee Eun-joo, general manager, and Ko Jae-soo were also with him.

Tae-poong Lee greets Richard Kane and director James King and stands next to me.

Richard Kane to Lee Tae-poong

When I ask the same question, Lee Tae-poong looks at me instead of answering.

brother. Did you reject this?"

Huh.

"But why did you call me? Guys, if I'm hyung's opinion, you don't know that I'm doing Oh Kei, right?"

Even if he was given a whopping $3 million as a fee, Lee Tae-poong didn't even close his eyes.

"I said But I can't believe it. You want to hear it with your own mouth."

Tae-poong Lee nodded to understand, and cut it off to Richard Kane.

say

"No!"

Hearing a strong and brief reply, Richard Kane puts a blank expression on his face for a moment.

But he asks with an expression that he doesn't quite understand.

Why?

"His opinion is my opinion! Sam sir. OK?

It's Sam

For a guy who doesn't speak English, it's a fairly appropriate choice of words.

Then, Richard Kane's face is distorted.

"If you don't want to go into Hollywood, you can't do it. I see."

He looked like he was going to regret it, and then he quickly turned around.

"Stupid things You don't even know what a great opportunity this is...

So Richard Kane mumbles to himself and turns around.

"Garcia! I will return right away."

"Yes!"

A Latino female secretary named Garcia, who was far away, pressed the elevator.

As Richard Kane moves vigorously, CEO Shin Jong-ki hurriedly follows after him.

"Richard! Richard!"

The three of them got on the elevator and went down.

Then, director James King, who was left alone, apologizes to Lee Tae-poong.

"I'm sorry I offended you. Mr. Tae-Pung Lee."

Tae-poong Lee hears my interpretation and shakes his head.

Nope. Fine.

After repeatedly apologizing to Lee Tae-poong, director James King carefully asks me.

"Chief. I attended the premiere of 'Mt. Jirisan' last week, and at that time, there was a name of Director Jeong as the casting director. Is it true that Manager Jung did that?"

Yes. How did it happen?"

Director James King reveals his face

say

"Hey, I'm sorry to say something like this after being rejected by Typhoon.

Are there any actors who would suit the Korean supporting role of War's First Lieutenant? In my 30s, it would be better if I had a fairly manly appearance. I don't know Korean actors well."

I don't know if it's the same as the original script written by James King, but there was no one who could recommend it as long as Richard Cain was the producer.

Richard Kane will change the character.

"Well, no one comes to mind right now."

Director James King then handed out his business card.

"Then, if you have any thoughts, please give me a call."

I also handed the business card and nodded.

All right.

"Oh, and I'll send the script to the email on my business card. Please check and contact us."

Director James King did that twice,

After saluting three times, he followed after Richard Cain.

After a while.

CEO Shin Shin-ki, who followed Richard Kane, is back.

"I'm sorry, Director Jung. I suggested this because I was wondering if this typhoon had any intention of making a foray into Hollywood.

I made a mistake."

Fine. Isn't that what you said to help Typhoon Yi?

"Thank you for letting me know. But is it really not going to be in Hollywood? Even if it's a supporting role, 3 million dollars is a huge amount."

I shrugged and answered.

"Money, are you still making a lot of money? So there is no rush."

CEO Shin Shin-ki tilts his head.

"But I mean Will it be too long for an Asian to take the lead role? Hollywood's high-spirited

There's no way humans can accept Asians as protagonists, right? To be honest, it is true that even if a lot of things have disappeared from before, racism is still there."

no.

That's what CEO Shin Jong-ki was wrong about.

Before returning, I came to see Eugene being treated as the lead in a Hollywood movie.

Besides, before returning, in the world I saw, Asia grew into a much larger cultural market.

So, I was able to answer honestly.

coming! And when that time comes, Typhoon will become a global top star as the protagonist of a Hollywood movie."

The moment he spoke confidently, Jae-soo Ko, who was beside him, was whispering to Tae-poong Lee.

- Typhoon, you must suffer a little. Director Jung believes in you like that, so you have to respond.

- Oh, it should be. It's Yunho hyung who made me who I am today.

-Then should I get excited too?

-do not worry. Hyung will get an offer from Hollywood just like me. Jirisan came out really well this time.

Ah... I'm still not good enough. And I'm going to go slowly after receiving a lot of care from our Chief Executive Officer Jeong.

Because my ears are bright, I can hear all the whispers.

Even though you said you wouldn't go to Hollywood, you still trust me.

At the same time as a grateful heart, my heart is happy, and a light shiver arises.

The character of the actor in the second life

Prioritizing was the right choice.

At that moment, the sound of an employee shouting from the side of the theater is heard.

"It's 10 minutes before the movie starts. You are welcome to enter."

now. Everyone go together."

At the words of CEO Shin Jong-ki, we all started moving to the theater.

Today, unlike the premiere, I did not watch it in the theater, but reserved the front seat, so I was able to watch it a little more comfortably today.

But it was then.

As we were all walking to the theater together, CEO Shin Jong-gi asked a cautious question.

"Chief Jeong. But when I came here earlier, it seemed like he was talking to director James about something. Is this a secret I shouldn't know?

"Oh, it's not like that, and he asked if he could introduce another actor. I also got the script."

"Another actor?"

Yes.

"Even if it's not Lee Tae-poong, can't it be easy to find someone to play a supporting role? If it were a Hollywood major studio work, many actors would line up."

"I declined."

Why?

"Isn't VP Richard Cain notorious for meddling on the production floor? It is also famous for recklessly rewriting the script."

"What is that? All major studio executives in America are like that, right?"

I know. Still, he is especially

korean mtl. online

I did."

Well So, I'm asking Kim, have you checked the script by any chance? Oh no, did I say you just got it?"

CEO Shin Jong-ki replied that he had already checked the script because he seemed to have a different idea.

"I just got it, but last week I got the industry version and read it."

CEO Shin Shin-ki said with a smile.

"Oh, right? So what do you think? Did the script come out well?"

"The script came out flawlessly. If you cast it right, I think it will be a huge success."

It was then.

CEO Shin Jong-ki lowers his voice and says:

"Then what if What would it be like if Richard Cain was excluded from the project? In other words, what do you think if we invested directly in James King?"

Director James King made a debut in the film industry last year with a short film called Budelli.

it was boo

; Budelli is a film that depicts what happens after both sides of the Italian mafia cartel arrive on an uninhabited island called 'Budelli' while transporting drugs, and it made a lot of money for a short film.

CEO Shin Shin-ki knew that fact and said it.

However, Forgotten War is being invested and distributed by 21st Century Wolf, a major Hollywood producer, so I don't know why you're asking this.

"Pay a penalty and cancel the contract.

Well, making a movie shouldn't be a problem. But, isn't American distribution the problem? If you ask me to make a film that doesn't get distributed, I don't think director James Eames will agree to the deal.

In Hollywood, distribution could be difficult at all if six major film studios had a tight grip on distribution and were united like a cartel.

"What if I had a card in my hand that would solve the North American distribution problem?"

At that moment, I could understand what CEO Shin Jong-ki was trying to do.

in the next three years.

LT Entertainment entered the US market in partnership with Universe Pictures, one of Hollywood's six major film studios.

But it seems they are trying to speed things up.

"Are you planning to take this opportunity to advance overseas in earnest?"

"Heh heh, this friend noticed one thing. Yeah, I'm thinking of trying to advance into North America right now. I wrote my hands in advance, but there was no director to shoot my first film, so I was very proud, but the opportunity came just in time.

like."

"That's right."

"Oh, and I saw Richard off a while ago, but what the hell is he doing to me? I mean, you said you lied to yourself. Heh heh heh."

"Such crazy

"Anyway, there are things like that, so I can't just move on, can I? One room should be fed. I was going to advance to the US, but I want to do it at the same time."

"If you can solve the American distribution, I'm sure you'll get a good result.

is. It would be even better if you could give James King maximum autonomy."

OK!

CEO Shin Jong-ki immediately gave instructions to Lee Eun-joo, who was ahead of him.

"Chief. Set up a meeting at the conference tomorrow. So that we can sit at a separate table from James if possible."

Yes. CEO.

Then, CEO Shin Jong-ki said to me.

"Chief Chung is also a bit patient at the meeting tomorrow.

Can't you please forgive me? Director James seems to have a crush on you, so let's meet. My reward will be generous."

"Then the station that Typhoon had suggested. Can you give it to our Jae-soo?"

Because Go Jae-soo played the psychopathic killer in Jirisan, it was clear that it would take quite a long time to become the lead role in Korea.

However, upon returning to the United States, he was able to completely change the class and image of an actor.

In other words, unlike Lee Tae-poong, it is better to advance overseas early.

"Anything like that is possible. To be honest, how many actors these days can follow Jae-soo's acting skills?"

All right. Then I think it's my job and I'll try to help.

OK. Then, after the screening, let's see the script together and then we'll talk again.

Yes.

So we made a plan and went into the first theater.

Tae-poong Lee and Jae-soo Ko, as well as the staff and the director stand in front of the stage.

And I headed to sit next to CEO Shin Jong-ki.

However, CEO Shin Jong-ki smiles and points forward.

"What are you looking at? The casting director also has to go and stand in front of the stage. Yes?

Come to think of it, all the directors and actors who were standing for the stage greetings were looking at me.

"Yunho hyung. Come quickly~"

Hurry~

Tae-poong Lee and Jae-soo Ko were even urging me.

Ah

At that moment, my heart started beating.

I pondered for a while if I could go, but everyone's eyes were on me, so in the end I went out in front of the stage.

After that, he received a clap from the audience and was honored to attend the stage greeting for the first time in his life.

Nara, who made the biggest contribution to the creation of ; Mt. Jirisan , said while listening to the gratitude of the actors and staff as much as possible.

All.

Today was a day I will never forget in my life.

12:30 p.m.

The stage greetings ended in enthusiastic response from the audience.

With a feeling of heartbreak, the movie

Before the screening, I left the theater with the actors and CEO Shin Jong-ki.

When I returned to the waiting room, I immediately handed the tablet with the script for (Forgotten War) open to Jae-soo Ko.

"What is this, chief?"

"This is the script for 'Forgotten War' written by director James a while ago. Among them, I would like to recommend Jae-soo for the role of 'Lieutenant General of the Frontline'."

"You want me to play that role?"

"It hasn't been confirmed yet, and I'm thinking of making an offer for the role tomorrow. In Jae-soo's current situation, that role is

I think taking on this will make a big difference in my career. Are you thinking of doing it?"

It was a good opportunity, but Go Jae-soo did not readily answer and looked at Lee Tae-poong.

Even though it was the role Lee Tae-poong rejected, he felt more sorry for himself.

Then Tae-Pung Lee urges him not to worry.

"It's all right. Jae-soo hyung. Absolutely do it! And when you are cast, eat an In-N-Out Burger instead of me, and then tell me what you think."

At Lee Tae-poong's nucksal, Go Jae-soo laughs.

okay. I'll try it and tell you the details.

Only then did Go Jae-soo accept my offer.

"I will read the script right now and prepare to record the audition video."

Go Jae-soo asks Yang So-ri, who came to the waiting room, to put on makeup, saying that he will film an audition video to show the director.

"Master Yang. Put on that makeup."

Yes~

Assistant Manager Yang So-ri approaches with a makeup bottle.

Then, CEO Shin Jong-ki calls me again.

"Then, tomorrow, I will only have to convince Director James."

"But what do you think Richard would do about it? Aren't you the kind of person who's just watching to steal the director he's filmed?

"You don't have to worry. We got that one case of human corruption from the secretariat of our company."

CEO Shin Jong-ki confidently holds out his tablet.

[Information: Richard Kane. private company

LK.WOLF slush fund transfer]

It was information that Vice President Richard Cain, who oversees distribution rights in Asia, established a private company called LK.WOLF and was stealing money.

However, this is unusable information.

Although LK.WOLF is a private company owned by Richard Kane,

Che is a company where Richard Cain raises profits by managing the slush funds of five other vice presidents and CEOs.

If you touch it, you could rather turn the entire 21st century Wolf Company into an enemy.

Before the return, an executive who was unaware of the fact made a accusation, but it is clearly remembered because the employee who made the accusation left the company.

I immediately shook my head.

"LK.WOLF is a company that manages the slush funds of senior executives."

CEO Shin Shin-ki showed a bewildered expression

build

"Hey, is that really true?"

Rather than wondering how I knew, he now puts on an expression that is concerned with how to stop Richard.

At that moment I said immediately.

do not worry. I have a good way."

Vice President Richard Kane is a Hollywood mogul, but as a returnee, I had a card that would hold him back.
