After showing up at Yoo In Na's house that day, Lee Sung Ho seemed to have disappeared from the world.
Late September.
The TV series "While You Were Sleeping" held a pre-production press conference.
Kim An-min came to the scene in person. Director Oh Joong-hwan, screenwriter Park Hye-ryun, and main actors Lee Jong-suk, Bae Suzy, Kim Ji-soo, and Lee Sang-yeop sat behind a long table and accepted questions from reporters.
As the leading actors and actresses, Lee Jong Suk and Bae Suzy are asked the most questions.
Kim Ji-soo, who participated in a TV series as the second female lead for the first time after her debut, also received strong attention from media reporters.
Although he had a guest role as a member of the TV series "Producers", his role was very small after all. It is completely different from the role of the main actor this time and he also played the role of a prosecutor.
The director and screenwriter are all helping Kim Ji Soo, whether it's reading the script or in the crew's chat group. Kim Ji Soo is very humble and likes to ask other senior actors for advice.
She also acted very professionally when filming the promotional video. Although she is still a complete newcomer as an actor, I believe that Kim Ji Soo can complete the role in the drama well.
During the press conference
Sitting behind the long table, Bae Suzy and Kim Jisoo were peeking at every corner of the scene.
Originally, both of them thought that Lee Sung-ho might appear at today's press conference. After all, this was his first big-production TV series since he took over as the president of tvn Broadcasting Bureau.
But until the end of the press conference, there was still no sign of Li Chenghao.
Pei Xiuzhi wanted to find an opportunity to invite Li Chenghao to dinner, firstly to apologize, and secondly to thank him.
Kim Ji-soo also wanted to thank Lee Sung-ho. Finally, she was on the road to realizing her dream of being an actress. If it hadn't been for Lee Sung-ho's recommendation, she wouldn't even be qualified to stand on the road and move forward on her own.
September 25
A piece of news made people who care about Li Chenghao finally know about him again.
in video
Lee Sung-ho walked to the left of Lee Me-kyung and appeared at Los Angeles International Airport.
Li Chenghao, who is wearing a suit and ties, is serious about his words, while Li Meijing, wearing sunglasses, frequently waves and greets reporters who come to the airport.
Although there is no video of the interview, the news content also revealed the reason why Li Chenghao accompanied Li Meijing on his visit to country m.
This is already the second trip in recent times.
As the head of CJ Entertainment, the reason why Lee Meijing frequently travels between countries M and H recently is to let Hallyu enter the Hollywood market.
The third generation of the chaebol who was expelled from the center of power has been striving towards this goal for decades.
When people talk about Li Meijing, in addition to talking about her as a strong woman and the godmother of the H country's entertainment industry, the most common thing is about her short stature, slightly chubby figure, and her unspectacular appearance with deathly thick eyeliner.
But with some revelations about this trip, especially those in the cultural industry circles of country H, they truly admire this businesswoman.
And major entertainment companies are also keeping their eyes on Li Chenghao and Li Meijing's trip to China.
As long as they have negotiated the terms of cooperation with Hollywood, it means that local artists from country H will have the opportunity to enter Hollywood with the help of CJ Entertainment.
This is something that countless artists never dare to dream of.
Asian film and television culture is still prevalent, but only a few action superstars from China have entered Hollywood and become global stars.
Although Lee Byung-hun and Rain have participated in Hollywood movies, they were not successful. They just had the experience of shooting Hollywood movies.
September 26
Latest reports from tvn broadcasting bureau.
Li Meijing, president of CJ Entertainment, and Li Chenghao, president of TVN Broadcasting Bureau, had a lunch with Paul Allen, another investor in DreamWorks, in the country of M, and issued an equity transfer explanation after the lunch.
At this point, CJ Entertainment’s original 10.08% stake in DreamWorks has been increased to 19.23%.
After a few hours meeting
In a private courtyard in Los Angeles, country m.
Li Meijing met Spielberg.
Li Chenghao has been wondering why Li Meijing insists on meeting Spielberg when he clearly holds the equity of DreamWorks. Business cooperation can be communicated with the other two co-founders.
After the meeting, Li Chenghao, who was following Li Meijing, learned about Li Meijing's ultimate purpose.
She wanted to contact Disney to seek business cooperation through Spielberg's introduction.
Although he owns the equity of DreamWorks, the investment contract signed by Li Meijing clearly stated that he did not have the creative decision-making power of DreamWorks. If DreamWorks cannot do it, then he will switch to Disney.
Of course, what she wants is not exactly the right to make creative decisions, but to open up the export channel for actors from country H and the exclusive rights to screen and broadcast movies outside of North America.
Spielberg actually has no personal grudge against Lee Me-kyung, but he is still bitter about the fact that Lee Me-kyung brokered capital injections from Samsung and DreamWorks in 1994.
In Spielberg's mind, Li Meijing is a capitalist who doesn't understand film art. Just like Chairman Lee of Samsung back then, he just wants to greedy their decision-making power.
The misunderstanding was resolved after the meeting, and Li Meijing was very satisfied with the final result of the dinner.
hotel room
Li Meijing put on the facial mask and looked at Li Chenghao, who was sitting on the chair opposite: "Chenghao, I have paved the road to Hollywood for you, and there is only so much you can do."
"Zion Entertainment Entertainment Company's start is unmatched by other companies. You must seize the opportunity."
Li Chenghao didn't know what to say.
Li Meijing's support for him was not just words.
At present, as long as Li Meijing communicates well with Disney, actors from country H will have more opportunities to participate in Hollywood productions in the future. This is a resource that everyone wants to grab.
zion Entertainment Entertainment Company has such resources, there is no need to doubt whether the company can become the top entertainment company in country H and even Asia.
"Also, it has been agreed that next year we will feature a self-produced movie, and the production will be handed over to Zion Entertainment Entertainment Company. If you need any support, just tell me directly."
Get up
Li Chenghao bowed respectfully and bowed ninety degrees.
Compared to Li Zaixian, Li Meijing is more like a biological son to him.
Holding Li Chenghao's shoulders: "Remember, only the capital in your own hands belongs to you. If you don't want the position of chairman of CJ Group, don't want it. Let Zion Entertainment Entertainment Company slowly become the second one."
Just cj group.”
"Auntie, I know what to do. I have an appointment with Huang Renxun for dinner tomorrow. This time I hope he can accept my strategic investment intention."
Li Meijing nodded happily, and thought of something that reminded Li Chenghao: "You still have to pay more attention to social etiquette. Like the president of a large group, the first thing to look at when examining whether a person is reliable is his family and marital status.
Can you understand?"
"Auntie, don't you do well on your own?"
"You brat, are you me? You still need someone to attend some formal occasions. Does Li Zhien understand business operations? Or is her foreign language and social etiquette excellent?"
"this……"
"Chenghao, if Li Zhien can't do it, declare your breakup and go on a blind date with Xu Minjing. I think this girl is very suitable for you."
