Chapter 2058 Enough is enough
"One thing you have to remember is that although CJEM is not the first time to work with other companies to produce and release movies.
But it is definitely the first time that a comprehensive company like Imperial Entertainment is a collaboration between the company that increases the independent exploration and training of actors, and diversify film and television drama production and variety show production in South Korea."
Sun Tailie touched his chin, "As long as the company involved in the production of film and television dramas, if you want your works to be released in a theater chain controlled by CJEM, you must pay a certain price.
Or in terms of box office sharing, CJEM accounts for the big part, while those companies account for the small part.
Or they directly give all the ownership of auditions issued outside South Korea to CJEM... The reason why a strong dragon cannot defeat a local snake.
In this land, CJEM is the king of the film industry, stabilizing Lotte Theater and Megabox.”
In this way, the Minister of News further wondered, "Since CJEM is the king of the film industry and they control 70% of the cinemas in the entire South Korea, why can the movie produced by Empire Entertainment allow the other party to treat it at the same level?"
"They will not do big-headed companies like CJEM that harm their own interests and lose money.
Or, no company will sacrifice itself.
It is actually not difficult to guess why it is treated like this, and this reason is probably the key point that has collectively unified the people in the entire Korean film industry these days."
“What is it?”
"I won't answer this question for now, I'll ask you..."
Sun Tae-yeol called his secretary to give him a cup of coffee. After the other party went out to bring him to the door, he spoke, "In your opinion, it is just a movie with a production cost of only 2 billion yuan. Even with Yoo Jae-suk and Kang Ho-dongxi joining this year, no matter how powerful this movie is, do you think the box office revenue brought by its final viewer can stabilize the top three Korean movies this year?"
"Of course not." The Minister of Information said without hesitation.
"That's right." Sun Tailie patted the table, got up and slowly carried his hands behind him, walking back and forth on the carpet.
"It's not Imperial Entertainment itself that attracts CJEM, but Lee Hyun-cheol?"
Speaking of this, Sun Tailie suddenly turned around and smiled calmly at the sitting minister of the news department, "This is the same reason why we chose to make friends with Empire Entertainment and help them block all the unfavorable negative news."
In Seoul, there are not many public figures who can maintain a happy cooperation with Dispatch. Every artist and the company behind it are gritting their teeth for this unlimited entertainment institution that exposes the private lives of public figures in exchange for benefits.
The public is very dissatisfied with their style of conduct, but they believe in what they have exposed and are willing to pay.
It fully fulfilled the saying "I said no, but my body was very honest."
"Imperial Entertainment has created very good achievements in all aspects before."
Sun Tailie's office is located at the top of the Dispatch office building, standing here. Whether it is the landmark logo of the three major societies or other entertainment companies, it seems to be mapped in his pupils in the form of satellite maps.
"Let Girls' Generation be the first one in the idol girl group to renew the contract in a complete body without changing members, breaking the "seven-year curse" that is rumored in the idol circle. This move of Lee Hyun-chol also made them the first group under S.M to successfully spend seven years without disbanding and members withdrawing.
Not to mention the significance of this action, it can make S..M nod and hand over this in the eyes of half of their senior management. His own value is about to end and is no longer as good as the potential value of cultivating newcomers.
In addition, Lee Hyun-cheol has integrated many well-known companies on the ground in Seoul by himself, transforming from an empty shell company with small sparrows, to a giant that integrates professional talents in various fields, variety show shooting and production, film and television drama creation, newcomer discovery, game development, etc.
Many people have already said that Empire Entertainment has developed too strangely, just like a sea is separated by two opposite sides. If other companies want to arrive on the other side, they must use sea transportation, which takes a certain amount of time, but Empire Entertainment uses the form of flying.
If it weren't for Lee Hyun-chol, would this company grow to this point today?
Without him, would Empire Entertainment poach so many capable people? Sign so many popular groups who have debuted for many years?
What's more, Luo Yingshi and Kim Tae-ho are all so proud, but they are willing to do things under Lee Hyun-chul. Is this just because of money? It's not necessarily..."
Perhaps thinking of some possibility, the Minister of Information said in a surprised tone.
"The president's meaning, CJEM has taken a fancy to his potential and wants to take advantage of this cooperation opportunity to invest? And "Old Boy" and "produce101" just give each other a reason to take the initiative to reach out?"
"Almost, it is indeed a good way to strengthen cooperation in the name of 'investment'."
Sun Tailie twitched, "Even after we investigated before, we could only find out some of Li Xianzhe's life experience in China, and with the assistance of the investment team, our career is getting bigger and bigger.
But when we arrived in the United States, we knew nothing about his development in the United States over the years, his background and connections.
It was as if there was an invisible barrier covering everything in the United States, and all he could find were things that were of little value.
If it weren't for the opening ceremony of Empire Entertainment that he had been exposed for his relationship with the well-known Hollywood actor Robert Downey Jr., this was something we didn't find out at the beginning. Would you say it be funny?"
Compared with Lee Hyun-chul's private industry in the United States, if summarized, it is personal privacy. If you investigate and publish it without permission, you will face the risk of a lawsuit.
only...
When an institution that is professional in discovering information cannot find a person's information and activity trajectory, there are only a few possibilities. First, the means and ability are not worthy of the level of the person they are looking for.
This will be excluded from the beginning.
Dispatch's most glorious record, the divorce case of Lee Jae-yong, which once caused sensation across South Korea, and the case of former president Lee Kun-hee recruiting G, were all taken by them.
The big incident at the Blue House, the chaotic private life of the MP, and the dispatch of corruption and bribery were all reported.
In comparison, the love affair of artists in the entertainment industry is just the smallest one in the section they operate.
So as long as they want to check, there is no one who can't find it.
The second point is that someone deliberately blocks them from investigating, or directly tampers with the information through means.
It sounds incredible, but someone can do it.
For example, those who can control media organizations and control microphones.
At first, Sun Tailie thought this judgment was ridiculous. Although their roots were not in the United States, their influence over there naturally could not be compared with Seoul.
But... When the relationship between Lee Hyun-cheol and Marvel and Disney was exposed, Sun Tailie decisively gave up the comprehensive investigation of Lee Hyun-cheol.
Recently, news from people from the American branch said that Lee Hyun-cheol and Warner Brothers' senior executives have also established a deep friendship, and the two sides have reached an agreement on cooperation on multiple movies, which will be announced to the public soon.
At that time, Sun Tailie realized that being able to get in touch with two dominant film companies in Hollywood at the same time at least showed that Lee Hyun-cheol had not been in vain in the past few years in the United States, and his background was really unfathomable.
The two discussed the issue of cooperation between Empire Entertainment and CJEM until afternoon tea time.
During this period, people kept coming to report on the Internet about Imperial Entertainment, which seemed to be guided, and some sarcastic remarks that could be seen in the early days had been overwhelmed.
After sending away the latest wave of reports, Sun Tailie looked at each other with the Minister of Information Department in front of him and sighed in unison.
“When Mix Color was aired, we sent people to the United States to send feedback, and at first they tried to get details about Lee Hyun-cheol’s private property by buying Marvel employees.
But not long after, he was blocked by another group of people. The DuPont family from Wall Street came up and confiscated all the equipment we carried, and finally left with a word."
"What's the matter?"
Sun Tailie pondered for a moment and spit out an idiom from his teeth.
