After two days of emotional entanglements that made Tang Jinyan dizzy, on the morning of June 8th, he finally returned to the New Village Group and began to ask about the entertainment industry.
"The casting notice for 'Su Yuan' has been released. Someone will come for the audition in a few days."
Baek Chang-soo said seriously to Tang Jinyan, "I've studied this movie and I think it's quite interesting … I heard that you didn't even read the script before making the decision?"
"Well, yes, I think it's fine as long as it's a hot topic.
Of course, the premise is that Li Junyi is famous. If it's a nobody, it's hard to create a hot topic. "
"I suspect it's not just a hot topic …" Baek Chang-soo hesitated for a moment and shook his head, "Of course, it's not good to make a definite judgment now."
"In other words, you actually have some expectations for the movie's market?"
"Yes …" Baek Chang-soo said seriously, "Not all tragedies will fail. Some famous movies with high box office also end in tragedy.
'Su Yuan' reminds me of 'Furnace' two years ago, which stirred up a storm. "
"So you're saying that you can't help but want to watch it?"
"Something like that. The key is whether Li Junyi can produce the desired effect."
"So the actors are also very important?"
"I plan to use Xue Jingqiu …" Baek Chang-soo hesitated, "Do you have any opinions?"
"Xue Jingqiu is also an artist of the company, right?
I have no opinions. "
Baek Chang-soo laughed, "Your selfish thoughts are not suitable for the entertainment industry.
To do well, first of all, you have to see whether it's suitable or not. Unspoken rules and back door can only be done occasionally under the premise that it doesn't affect the overall situation. "
"Anyway, don't you think it's suitable? I believe you."
"Hehe …" Bai Changzhu laughed and suddenly said, "Old Jiu, in a few days, if New Village Entertainment's first few steps can be taken well, then New Village Group can take the opportunity to get listed.
The president will do it for you. If you do it now, it won't cause any backlash. "
Tang Jinyan was silent for a moment and didn't refuse, only saying, "Let's see when the time comes."
"Don't tell me you haven't thought about it?"
"I have thought about it, but it's not convenient to tell you."
Baek Chang-soo laughed. "Do you think I won't know if you don't tell me?
Old Ninth has also become so hesitant, this is not good. "
Tang Jinyan laughed. "I didn't tell you because I was afraid that you'd be shocked by my grand plan. I was planning to tell you when the time was right."
"Grand plan …" Baek Chang-soo pondered for a moment before narrowing his eyes. "You want to merge Tang Dynasty and New Village?"
"That's right. That's a true dynasty."
Tang Jinyan said calmly, "Individually, they can't even compare to the tails of the consortiums. But if they work together, it's not necessarily the case …"
"You trust me so much this time?
You even told me about such a faraway plan. "
"Sixth Brother … I know you know what's best for you.
If I fail in the future and you want to kick me when I'm down, I won't blame you. "
Baek Chang-soo laughed heartily and patted Tang Jinyan's shoulder. "With your words, even if I had planned to kick you when you're down one day, I'm embarrassed now.
You'd better not fail. "
"So, for things like movie casting, I'm not an expert. I won't interfere with your decisions." Tang Jinyan laughed. "Because I don't want to fail more than anyone else."
Baek Chang-soo blinked. "You don't have to interfere with movies, but you can do TV series.
You can find a few small supporting roles to make deals. It won't affect the TV series. "
"TV series … is' The Heirs' currently casting?"
"I think so next Monday.
You can go take a look if you're interested. "
Tang Jinyan sighed. "I'm not interested for the time being. I've been troubled by women these past two days. How can I have the time to sleep with girls?"
"I don't know why you're troubled, but I think it's because you haven't gotten over it."
Baek Chang-soo said casually, "Zhixiao is more open-minded than anyone else right now. Her life is more carefree than anyone else's."
"Zhixiao …" Tang Jinyan nodded. "I'll go take a look at her."
When he arrived at Song Ji-hyo's office, the office door was not closed. At a glance, he could see that Song Ji-hyo was listening to a subordinate's report inside. Her expression was serious, and she wore an office suit. She looked quite intellectual and had the temperament of a manager.
When she saw Tang Jinyan standing at the door, Song Ji-hyo's eyes lit up slightly. She signaled to her subordinate. "Got it. That's all for now."
The subordinate turned around and saw Tang Jinyan. He bowed solemnly and bid farewell.
Tang Jinyan walked in and smiled. "What's wrong?
Is there a problem? "
Song Ji-hyo shook her head. She got up and went to the sofa to make tea for him. She replied casually, "It's nothing. It's still a problem after the integration of the two entertainment companies. The allocation of studios, equipment management, and so on."
Tang Jinyan sat on the sofa and tilted his head to look at her for a while. Suddenly, he smiled. "I'm not used to seeing you talk about work so seriously."
Song Ji-hyo smiled slightly. "Many people were not used to it at first. But now, they're used to it."
"How about you?
Are you used to it? "
Song Ji-hyo did not say anything. She quietly made tea. Her posture was very elegant.
When they were done, she gave Tang Jinyan a cup. Then, she smiled and said, "I didn't know how to make tea in the past. When you started learning, I also just started.
Look at how I'm doing now.
Let's not talk about the temperature. Does it look like Yoon-rim? "
Tang Jinyan lowered his head and drank the tea. He smiled and said, "Yes."
The question just now was equivalent to an answer.
Even if he was unfamiliar with management at first, he was now very familiar with it, just like the art of tea.
"Before I met you, I never thought that my life would go in this direction." Song Ji-hyo took a sip of tea and laughed self-deprecatingly. "Think about it. What was I doing in the past?
I was thinking of ways to become famous. I was smiling to please every crew. I was so careful that I even had to curry favor with the lighting engineer. I did my best to work hard for a chance to get a role. I even took off my clothes for the whole country to see. Did I think that I had a clear conscience and that I was fighting for my dream? "
Tang Jinyan did not say anything. He listened to her quietly.
"How can it be as noble as a dream? My dream has long dissipated in vain. In the end, it's for the sake of living …" Song Ji-hyo sighed. "Who would have thought that one day, I would become the object of others' smiles to please?"
Looking at Tang Jinyan's thoughtful expression, Song Ji-hyo said again, "I never called you to say that I miss you, that I want you to accompany me, that you don't only care about other women and forget about me. Do you think that I don't like you anymore?"
Tang Jinyan pondered for a moment and shook his head. "I don't think so."
Song Ji-hyo nodded. "That's good.
In fact, I just feel that you have given me everything that I have never dreamed of. I can't ask for more. "
Tang Jinyan asked, "So you don't want to act anymore?
But you still want to continue with 'Runningman'? "
Song Ji-hyo laughed. "I don't want to act anymore, but 'Runningman' is my last passion as an artist. Or it can be considered an interest?
In short, I can let go of myself there and have fun. It's very fun. "
Tang Jinyan asked, "What if I don't allow you to go?"
Song Ji-hyo smiled slightly. "Then I won't go."
Tang Jinyan sighed. "I'm just asking. Why would I not let you go?
Sometimes when I rest at home, I still watch 'Runningman' often. Seeing your smiling face makes me feel at ease. "
Song Ji-hyo laughed and said, "My image in 'Runningman' and my current image, which one is better?"
Tang Jinyan touched his chin and looked at her for a while. He smiled and said, "Both are not bad.
In 'Runningman', because there were a lot of ugly people around, compared to them, you looked like a fairy.
But now … there's no temptation. It's different. "
After a pause, he said, "If that Song Ji-hyo represents the Song Ji-hyo who used to be very similar to Tang Jinyan, the Song Ji-hyo who hid inferiority in her heart but worked hard to move forward towards her goal, then this Song Ji-hyo now represents the Song Ji-hyo who has followed Tang Jinyan to a new peak.
I like both very much because I can see myself in them. "
Song Ji-hyo tilted her head and looked at him for a while. Suddenly, she said, "There's something missing."
"What is it?"
"That's the popular artist Song Ji-hyo.
This is just Tang Jinyan's Song Ji-hyo. "
Tang Jinyan was stunned. He smiled and said, "That makes sense."
Song Ji-hyo's eyes flashed with a strange light. "Actually … there are a lot of people who are similar … when you're not so immersed in the character."
