Before the Olympics were over, Cheng Yu'an flew to South Korea with his assistant and people from the company's international business department.

Cheng Yuan is still very well-known in South Korea.

At the age of 22, he defeated Kim Ki-duk to win the Best Director at Venice.

The company's "Old Man" and "Animal World", especially "The Eraser in My Brain," all performed well at the box office in South Korea.

Otherwise, CJ and KBS would not take the initiative to ask for cooperation.

I have remotely sold the remake rights of several movies to South Korea, and the results have been equally gratifying.

It only takes two hours to fly from Beijing to South Korea, and you can just watch a movie on the plane.

The group landed at Incheon International Airport and were picked up by CJ's representative Jin Jingya.

"Is this your first time in Korea, Director Cheng?"

"Yes."

"Don't worry, CJ will definitely take Director Cheng to have a good tour of Korea."

"Thank you, Miss Jin. Let's wait until we finish the business before we talk about the tour."

"certainly."

After all, CJ asked Cheng Yu'an for help. If it weren't for some of the special effects in "The Martian" being done by Korean Digital Creative, CJ might not even be able to ask Cheng Yu'an to come over.

The two briefly chatted about their previous cooperation in the car. CJ participated in the distribution of almost all remote films in South Korea. The Korean distribution of "The Martian" was also given to CJ Entertainment.

In fact, if Cheng Yuan had only one remote company, CJ and KBS would not pay so much attention to it. But the problem is that Cheng Yuan also has a company in Hollywood, and its strength is not weak.

The only country in Asia that can break into Hollywood is Japan, which is the result of years of spending money in the United States.

But Cheng Yuan quietly opened a very successful production company in Hollywood.

CJ is greedy. Although he is Hollywood's largest distribution agent in South Korea, who doesn't want to go further?

So they set their sights on Cheng Yuan.

They are not short of money, and they are even willing to use money to buy a way out, but they do not want to be treated like monkeys by the Americans for more than ten years like Japan before they can get a piece of the pie.

Cheng Yuan and his party were arranged to stay at the Shilla Hotel in Seoul, a five-star hotel owned by Samsung.

"Director Cheng, please have a good rest. We will visit you again tomorrow."

Jin Jingya left after making arrangements for Cheng Yuan and his party.

In fact, Jin Jingya and the people from KBS were eager to talk now, but it was already very late, and Cheng Yuan had no appetite to eat with them, so he could only arrange for them to stay and wait until tomorrow to talk about anything.

Cheng Yu'an was not tired at all, but the bumpy ride after getting off the plane and getting on the bus was a bit annoying, and he didn't want to talk about business.

Cheng Yu'an had just changed his clothes and was about to write something in the study when he saw his assistant Xiao Zhang come in with a business card:

"Brother, someone from SM is here." He said and handed over his business card.

Cheng Yu'an glanced at Xiao Zhang thoughtfully, and Xiao Zhang was stunned by his look: "Brother, a sister from my hometown is a trainee in SM. She begged me to come here, and there is nothing I can do."

There was no meeting with SM in Cheng Yuan's Korean itinerary. The two families didn't know each other at all. Now that the other party suddenly came to visit, Cheng Yuan certainly suspected that it was his assistant: "I won't do this next time."

Being able to find him through the sister of Assistant Cheng Yuan, I have to say that SM is really quite capable.

Cheng Yu'an didn't know Korean, but he spelled out the name above: "Kim Yeong Min, who is it?"

Xiao Zhang said: "The translator said it was SM Entertainment's director Jin Yingmin. I don't know what kind of official he is."

Cheng Yuan also has limited knowledge of Korean entertainment. He only knows that SM management is the founder of Lee Soo Man.

"Isn't he a singer? He doesn't want to quarrel with us." Cheng Yu'an held the business card.

"Then can we see them?"

Cheng Yu'an thought for a moment, SM is a local snake after all, or a big snake, and they have come to the door on their own initiative. He wanted to see them: "Invite them in."

Kim Young-min looks ordinary and is not tall, but she is dressed very formally, complete with suit and tie, making her look serious and reserved.

In contrast, Cheng Yu'an, who was wearing casual clothes, was sitting there, looking vaguely like a big shot.

Xiao Zhang led the SM group into the living room. Jin Yingmin first introduced himself, and then introduced the three girls he brought.

"This is our trainee, Miss Song Qian. She is Chinese and is the hometown of Mr. Zhang, Assistant Director Cheng." She was the sister from Xiao Zhang's hometown. Jin Yingmin also found Xiao Zhang through Song Qian's relationship and was able to get an appointment with her.

.

Cheng Yu'an couldn't recognize the remaining two girls: "This is our company's artist Lin Yoona, and this is Kim Taeyeon."

"Anihasay." The two girls bowed slightly.

"Girls' Generation?" Kim Taeyeon and Cheng Yuan really don't know, but Lin Yoona does.

It’s a bad money-making movie, "Martial God Zhao Zilong"! The producer made a profit of 100 million.

But Lin Yoon-ah was directly criticized for withdrawing from the Chinese film and television drama market.

Seeing that Cheng Yuan actually knew about Girls' Generation, Kim Young-min couldn't help but be happy: "Yes, Yoona and Taeyeon are members of Girls' Generation."

Girls' Generation debuted in August 2007 and became popular as soon as they debuted!

Logically speaking, such a popular group should be very busy, so why do they still have time to come to his place so late at night?

Kim Young Min explained: "Girls' Generation has not been active in the past few months because of the ANTI incident."

ANTI is a phenomenon unique to Korean entertainment, generally targeting idols. The Korean entertainment industry has a very strict hierarchy, actors > singers > idols.

Many Koreans think that idols are not big people, so the more popular they are, the more disdainful they become. They think you are nothing, why do you make so much money?

Girls' Generation has encountered ANTI in the past few months.

The whole group fell into a gap period.

This made Kim Young Min anxious. It was him who came up with the plan to deal with Wirls at SNSD. If ANTI continues to be idle, the company will not be able to pay the consequences.

"Director Cheng, Yoona and Taeyeon both like your movies very much, so we came here to visit you today."

"Director Cheng, I like your "Animal World" the best." The speaker was Lin Yoona.

"My favorite is 'The Eraser in Your Mind'." Kim Taeyeon.

"But I am not the director of these two movies." Cheng Yuan said with a smile.

Jin Yingmin didn't even think twice and said, "Director Cheng is the producer, producer, and screenwriter. Of course these two movies are the works of Director Cheng. That's what Wuli Yoona and Taeyeon mean."

Then he said: "I took the liberty to visit Director Cheng this time because I want to introduce our SM Entertainment company."

If you are looking for cooperation, please tell us earlier!

"Isn't SM the largest and most famous entertainment company in South Korea?" Cheng Yu'an said, no matter how idiotic he is about Korean entertainment, he knows SM Entertainment.

"Thank you, Director Cheng, for the compliment."

"But as far as I know, SM Entertainment is mainly engaged in music and artist management. I am engaged in film and television production. We seem to..."

Jin Yingmin quickly said: "Director Cheng misunderstood. SM is a comprehensive entertainment company, but the outside world's image of us is still limited to songs and artist management. In fact, we also have a film company. We filmed "Flower Boy Chain of Terror" last year.

, the response has been very good.”

"We like Director Cheng's style very much. SM is very powerful, so we hope to cooperate with Director Cheng in movies."
