143. There is no eternal first place 4

While coming to Evian, I frantically made calls to Ji-young Kang, general manager, and Koo Sung-cheol, manager, but neither of them answered the phone.

"Okay. You are busy until this hour."

As the size of the 2 singer rooms and the 2 actors room grew bigger and bigger, the work of the general manager Kang Ji-young and the office manager Ko Sung-cheol was also increasing.

That's why I can't contact you like this

cases were becoming more frequent.

It seems that this time, I will have no choice but to handle it myself.

When I arrived in Evian, the bodyguards in suits at the entrance stopped me.

"Today, we are only accepting reservation guests. sorry.

"Director Ki-cheol Lee, I have been called."

Oh. okay? What is your name?"

"My name is Yunho Jung."

Security guards on microphones

confirmed

For some reason, the security seemed particularly strict.

After the identification was done, a staff member came out and led me.

As I followed the staff, I saw that the hall was empty and asked.

"There are no guests."

Yes. Today, the president borrowed the whole thing."

Chairman?

I don't know what kind of president you're talking about, but in a word, it's Donji X.

I heard that Evian's sales are in the billions of units a day, so if you're going to pay that money, you'll get a hotel suite.

"I consider it. Have a good time."

When the staff opened the WIP door, I saw four people seated.

Director Ki-cheol Lee, Manager Dong-su Kim, and CEO Sang-sik Lee.

And the person who sits at the top is Chairman Zhang Wei.

The moment I saw people gathered.

This position was not made by Lee Ki-cheol, but by Lee Sang-sik, CEO of Red Moon.

I knew it was a place.

When he did not accept his proposal, he must have persuaded Director Lee Ki-cheol to bring in Eugene.

It was also good that he didn't bring Eugene.

Because I didn't know what Chairman Zhang Wei would do.

Chairman Zhang Wei, who is about 170 cm tall and has a stout body, looks at me.

"You came alone, yes."

Having lived in Korea for 7 years when he was young, Zhang Wei speaks Korean quite well.

can do it skillfully.

Thanks to this, we are making a larger investment in Korea than other media groups in China.

Perhaps he felt a hint of disappointment in Zhang Wei's voice, director Lee Ki-cheol hurriedly stepped forward to help.

"Dr. Jeong. What about Eugene?"

"I'm sorry, sir. I wasn't in the mood to come to a drinking party."

Everyone in the room frowned.

"Here, Chairman Jang is investing 10 billion won in a drama starring Eugene.

It's a place made to commemorate the flag, so call me. Don't worry, you don't have to drink.

As if he had made a promise, CEO Lee Sang-sik also tried to persuade me.

Yes. Deputy Jeong. If today's story goes well, I'll start negotiating with Yoojin for the appearance fee, so call me first. You can't talk like this over the phone. is not it?

CEO Lee Sang-sik could not hide his desperate expression.

To him, who is suffering from financial difficulties, Chairman Zhang Wei's investment is just right.

'cause it'll be a breeze

But I firmly shook my head.

"Late at night, if an actress is invited to a drinking party, there may be some gossip. If the day is bright tomorrow, the company will talk to you."

At my words, the CEO Lee Sang-sik was furious and shouted.

"Uh-huh! this friend! I'll do what the management tells me to do. Where would you dare to vomit on the subject of a surrogate?"

'You're not my employer, so why are you making a fuss?'

At that moment, Chairman Zhang Wei burst into laughter and stopped the people.

it's okay. stop.

sorry. President.

Chairman Zhang Wei shook his head at Lee Sang-shik's apology.

"Because I am a fan of Jung Yoo-jin, I asked for an autograph or a copy before investing, but I guess I said something wrong. now. sit here We'll see each other often in the future, so let's have a drink today.

I don't want to see you again, let alone often.

But, hiding my heart, I picked up the empty whiskey glass that Chairman Zhang Wei held out.

"I am a little drunk. So I'll take one drink.

Kim Dong-soo frowned upon hearing my words.

"If the president gives it to you, you get it with gratitude, where are you cocky!"

Kim Dong-soo was acting as if he had become an employee of the Hwayeon Media Group, not a hoopleongso entertainment.

It's like a human without an embryo.

Zhang Wei raised his hand and dried Kim Dong-soo.

it's okay. As a young friend these days, it was good because he had a clear subjectivity."

"There is no face. President.

Kim Dong-su bowed his head with a more polite expression than in front of Kang Gam-chan.

then. Just have one drink, as you said."

The alcohol in Zhang Wei's hand is Glenfiddich 40-year-old Glenfiddich, a premium single malt whiskey worth over 12 million won per bottle.

squeak.

The whiskey that Chairman Zhang Wei pours begins to fill my clear glass.

However, even when the glass was full, Chairman Zhang Wei did not stop pouring alcohol.

The whiskey was full and started to spill out.

Strong whiskey ran down the back of my hand and wet the table.

'Is this old man protesting because he was offended?'

gurgling gurgling!

As I tilted the bottle upside down, I could hear the remaining liquor gushing out and the sound of a blowout coming from the mouth of the whiskey bottle.

I would pour a whole 12 million won bottle of Glenfiddich 40 years old into a glass.

Zhang Wei looked at me and raised an eyebrow.

ruler. one drink. how about This means that Zhang Wei is not the size of a millet."

It's an action that an ordinary person would be proud of.

But, having climbed to the top of the industry, I have experienced the truth of the possessors.

That's just about it.

I took his gaze and, without blinking an eye, drank the full glass of whiskey.

one shot.

The smokey smell of the strong whiskey that climbed up my throat was dizzying.

As soon as he drank the whiskey, Chairman Zhang Wei started clapping and chuckling.

"Hey! My friend said he was weak. When I drink, I get angry. Whoa!"

Chairman Zhang Wei burst into laughter as if it was fun to see myself not feeling discouraged.

People with great wealth have a completely different mindset than the average person.

Simply put, it's arbitrary.

Director Lee Ki-cheol, who had been watching him blankly, came to his senses and bent down.

sorry. Our Deputy Director Jeong was rude to the president because he didn't know what to do.

all.

Chairman Zhang Wei shakes his head.

Nope. Nope. I met an interesting friend after a long time, why are you apologizing?"

Chairman Zhang Wei started talking about work, telling him not to shout any more.

Talking about how much to invest in ; In the Name of God and when to invest.

But I didn't listen at all.

No matter how much money invested, writer Lee Ji-yeon will change the production company soon.

However, Chairman Zhang Wei suddenly raised a finger.

Hey. Young manager friend."

Yes. President.

"Do you have any desire to play the lead role with Jung Yu-jin?"

Of course, I also have a desire to have Eugene as the lead role.

Whether it's the fee or awards, the lead role has the highest priority.

However, the appointment with writer Lee Ji-yeon takes priority.

Moreover, the role played by Eugene is,

It is also a role that can shine enough.

When he didn't say anything, Chairman Zhang Wei raised two fingers.

"If Eugene wants to play the lead role in 'In the Name of God', I will take the responsibility and put in 20 billion won. Instead, I can't put it in without seeing your face, so take a comfortable time until the day after tomorrow and watch it. How is it?"

Chairman Zhang Wei changed his strategy and seduced him with the role and money.

At that moment, everyone in the room except me

Greed was etched on the two's faces.

20 billion.

For some, it is money that they could not even dream of earning in their lifetime.

However, for Zhang Wei, chairman of the Hwayeon Media Group, it was money that could be thrown lightly to win the favor of a single woman.

Personal wealth alone exceeds trillions, and Hwayeon Media Group's assets exceed tens of trillions.

But I said, looking directly into the eyes of Chairman Zhang Wei.

"It is not for me to decide. work

Only after asking Ga-nim and telling my actor what to do "

But before I can even finish my words, Director Kim Dong-soo hastily interrupts me.

President. Now, let's talk with Deputy Jeong for a moment. Give me some time."

Kim Dong-soo asked Chairman Zhang Wei for his understanding.

Zhang Wei smiled and beckoned.

"I wish I could come back with a good answer if possible."

Kim Dong-soo got up from his seat and caught me.

He sighed and walked out of the room.

Kim Dong-soo, who carefully closed the door with his back bent, began to push me harshly.

"Hey man! In a situation like this, you should do it unconditionally instead of attaching any conditions! You can convince Eugene later! It's not enough to pick me up as a lead role, they say that they invest 20 billion won!"

Kim Dong-soo's face was flushed red.

Kim Dong-soo's eyes were burning with greed for a whopping 20 billion won.

"Chief. I hope that money is a hwadae

don't you know Do you think we're going to give away actresses if we give them money?

Director Kim Dong-soo snorted as if it was ridiculous.

"New X. Talking about it. What's so sensitive about an old inspiration falling for a young actress? You just pretend you don't know and take a seat, and if you do something stupid, you can just pop out! is not it?

"Will the drinking party just end with a drink? And Eugene made it clear. I wouldn't have done it if I wasn't an actor

I'm not leaving!

"Dr. Jeong. You and I don't get along well. Let's say so. Don't be this is not Even if his mouth is crooked, he told me to speak straight. What kind of entertainment is having a drink with an investor? It's not like we're just going to have a meal!"

"Anyway, I'm against it."

"Ah, this is real! There are all kinds of people like Byuk Chang-ho!"

This is Kim Dong-soo, who clenched his fists and released them.

If you do, use violence.

I'd like to, but I'm doing it because I know it's not going to be a fight anyway.

"Okay then, you go first."

like this?

Is it rather doubtful that he is quietly retreating?

"Can I go without saying hello?"

"I'm only going to repeat the story of not doing it anyway, but don't get in the mood and just go. I'll take care of the backseat!

I left Evian while watching Kim Dong-soo entering the room.

Kim Dong-soo said that he would be in charge, but I didn't believe it.

The thing that appeared on the face of the guy I was kicking out was a vicious poison that never gave up.

Again, I called Ji-young Kang, general manager.

Fortunately, this time I got a call.

- Deputy Jeong. What happen?

After hearing about the situation from me, General Manager Kang Ji-young immediately called me in.

- I don't think we're talking over the phone.

And, come home at once. You know our house?

Yes. Commander-in-Chief."

* * *

Ji-young Kang's house.

I said everything about Chairman Zhang Wei's proposal and writer Lee Ji-yeon's thoughts on changing the current production company.

"You can't just invest 20 billion won."

Yes. Chairman Wei Zhang's female bias is quite severe. Right now, it's a meal and a drink, but you never know when things will change, right?"

Director Kang Ji-young's face frowned.

"However, when an actress gets a little bit of recognition, how much flying flies can fly. But, Chairman Zhang Wei reveals a woman, right?"

Yes, I have a friend from China.

I did. The chairman of Hwayeon Media Group said that he is famous for collecting Korean actresses."

This was information from Wang Long, president of Shanghai New Media Group, a competitor to Zhang Wei, before returning.

"Okay, I'll find out on my own to see if the rumor is true, and if it's true, I'll cover the backstory myself."

Eugene's appearance fee for the role of 'Cheongmyeong' is set at 10 million won per episode.

The amount made possible thanks to the acting skills that Eugene showed in ; Blue Sky .

However, the investment of 20 billion

They could even sing up to 100 million per episode.

It is an investment that came in purely because of Eugene.

Jin-Yi Yu and the company had a 7:3 profit distribution, so at this moment, Ji-Young Kang was the general manager who boldly gave up on the amount of profit worth 700 million won.

"By the way, Chief."

"When do you think the representative will return?"

General Manager Kang Ji-young makes a troubled expression.

"No matter how early, I think it should be early September. The American side was very concerned about the progress and rehabilitation after surgery."

It struck me that Director Lee Ki-cheol made a full-fledged move.

However, we cannot ask Kang Gam-chan, who has not recovered, to come earlier.

"I hope you come soon."

"It will be hard, but we have to persevere. I will help anything I can, so please believe in me and do my best."

Yes. Commander-in-Chief."

Since CEO Kang Gam-chan had entrusted all authority to Director Lee Ki-cheol, even General Manager Kang Ji-young could not easily get involved in a situation where there was a business story.

After the report, I got up from the sofa.

Then I'll just go.

But it was then.

Director Kang Ji-young suddenly grabbed my arm.

"Dr. Jeong. Wait.
