I'm a chaebol in South Korea

Chapter 65 Hype and Nature

"Have you read CJ's latest announcement? The new director's debut will be released during the Spring Festival?"

"Hey? Xibala, is CJ crazy?"

"However, the movie is played by brother Cui Minzhi, so maybe it will be very good."

"Yeah~ How could it look good? It was taken by a newcomer."

"Look here, assistant PD Bong Joon-ho."

"Bong Joon-ho, it's the PD Bong Joon-ho who filmed the monster on the Han River."

"Who else is there besides him, you can say something more useful."

"Maybe he is the real guide, this nominal guy is just here to gild."

"No way, the son of a chaebol family?"

"It's true, I will definitely give a bad review."

"Me too, why do these chaebols take away opportunities from truly talented people."

"Damn bastard, Xipala~"

There was a turmoil on the Internet, and many suspicions about Li Zhenyu's identity were flooding all major sectors.

In the news, voices of doubt also appeared.

At the same time, regarding Son Kyung-sik's unprecedented support for the "New World" film, an insider 'accidentally' leaked sporadic rumors.

"Someone deliberately caused trouble?" Li Zhenyu learned the news at the backstage of the official publicity meeting.

"President Sun is investigating. At present, it doesn't look like someone deliberately caused trouble, but more like fans have doubts and spontaneously aroused public opinion..."

This kind of thing happened, no one could have expected it.

In the final analysis, what people are attacking is not Li Zhenyu himself.

It is the injustice and oppression brought about by social structure and class for a long time, resulting in pressure and various negative emotions.

Just at this time, find a suitable outlet.

No one cares what the truth is, they only care about whether they can find happiness and satisfaction from it.

Obviously, for the time being, he/she is content.

"The event is about to begin."

The staff knocked on the door to remind them that it was time for them to play.

"Let's go, let's finish the work first."

In the backstage control room, Sun Jingzhi was asking about the arrangement of the scene: "Are the reporters ready?"

"Guilt, they know where to focus."

At the press conference, Li Zhenyu took the stage with the leading actor and assistant director.

CJ, the investor, did not send Son Kyung-sik.

Instead, the deputy team leader, the team leader of Operation Department 1, replaced him to represent CJ.

"Welcome everyone to the press conference of "New World". Please allow me to introduce to you the director and editor of this drama, PD Li Zhenyu."

Sparse applause rang out, and all the reporters present looked so impatient.

The gaze cast on Li Zhenyu is full of greed and longing.

It was as if he wanted to eat him up and squeeze out the last drop of oil and water.

'These guys, are they under any instruction? '

Li Zhenyu's questions were quickly answered, after introducing the main members of the crew.

Entering the questioning session, everyone set their targets on him.

"Li PD, may I ask if this film is really directed by you, isn't the script written by someone else?"

"Li PD, it is rumored that the whole film was actually completed by other people in the crew, and you are just here to gild it. Please answer this."

"Li PD, in recent years, domestic resistance to riot groups has become more and more intense. What made you choose to shoot riot group-type films at this time, and are you personally related to riot groups?"

Any question contained countless evil intentions, waiting for him to step on himself with a gun and a stick.

Li Zhenyu's answer, from the beginning to the end, was only one, "The script was created by myself, the relevant information can be found on KCC, and the on-site shooting was done by myself. Please ask the next question."

From the beginning to the end, he maintained a polite and reserved smile, and he looked neither aggressive nor arrogant like a plutocrat.

On the contrary, he looks more like a polite, self-restraining, gentle and promising young man.

After asking many questions, the reporters at the scene not only wondered if there was something wrong with their sources?
This young man really didn't look like the rumors.

"Everyone, there are so many people here, we have a lot to say about the film, please return the question to the film itself... Don't forget, this is the release site of "New World"."

Hearing Li Zhenyu's teasing in a joking tone, the scene full of gunpowder smoke finally burst into laughter.

At the same time, everyone turned their targets to other people.

A crisis was resolved under Li Zhenyu's calm and calm response.

Although, people are still full of speculation about his identity, and are skeptical about the script and the film itself.

but……

The publicity of the film far exceeded expectations.

It can be said that anyone who has access to public media and the Internet has heard of the name "New World".

The huge investment of 400 billion and various gossip made it spread like a virus.

South Korea is not that big...

Sun Jingzhi's goal was achieved. "New World" became popular before it was broadcast, and became famous for a while.

Accompanied by the mystery of Li Zhenyu's background, as well as all kinds of exaggerated rumors.

In this regard, he himself has always remained silent.

At the stage when the mobile terminal has not yet been fully popularized, these rumors will not affect his life.

However, Li Zhenyu still approached Sun Jingzhi: "You should say hello to me in advance."

"I'm sorry, Zhenyu...it's urgent. When I knew it, you were already at the scene. It would take too much time to get your consent. We didn't..."

"You're worried that I don't agree." Li Zhenyu interrupted, these excuses are a waste of time.

Sun Jingzhi frowned and said, "Yes, Zhenyu, this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. Do you know how much publicity costs we have saved because of you?"

"10 billion...20 billion?" Li Zhenyu smiled ironically.

The corner of Sun Jingzhi's mouth turned up, and he raised his right hand with a weird smile: "50 billion, it's 50 billion."

"50 billion..." Li Zhenyu was a little surprised.

No wonder Sun Jingzhi was so tempted, and he would have made the same choice himself.

"The money is mine now." Li Zhenyu opened his mouth wide, and with the touch of his upper and lower lips, he was about to swallow 50 billion for himself.

How could Sun Jingzhi agree, "Zhenyu, we are partners."

"You didn't remember this when you made the decision alone." Li Zhenyu said bluntly.

"But it's for our own good... well, you can get an extra share." Seeing that the two of them are working together happily and the project has a good prospect.

Sun Jingzhi chose to take an extra step and let him take an extra share.

But it's also limited to this...

"40 billion."

"28 billion."

"38 million..."

The two sides came and went, arguing endlessly, and finally decided that Li Zhenyu took 30 billion, and the remaining 20 billion belonged to CJ.

"Know that not everyone is as free as you are...and there are boards and councils to convince."

Big companies have the benefits of big companies, and naturally there are more rules.

In Zy+, Li Zhenyu can make any decision.

But in CJ, even Son Kyung-sik has to abide by the rules of the game.

Otherwise, he might be the next one to be kicked out.

"30 billion, it's done."

A rumor for 30 billion, this deal is very cost-effective, Li Zhenyu chose to accept it gladly.

"Next time something like this happens, let me know in advance, maybe we will cooperate more tacitly."

"I was wrong this time... Zhenyu, I really admire you more and more."

"Really? Remember to give me more benefits next time, which will make your words sound more sincere."

After leaving the office, Li Zhenyu did not forget to smile and bid farewell to the beautiful secretary outside the door: "The khaki color is more suitable for you...don't throw away the wrapping skirt, it's a pity to hide such a beautiful buttock."

The secretary lowered her head with flushed cheeks, and said in a voice like a mosquito: "Kang Sangmida, President Li Xi, please go slowly..."

This damn charm is really overwhelming.

The office door opened abruptly, and Sun Jingzhi called Li Zhenyu who was about to leave: "I almost forgot something. During the interview, someone called. It seems that they want to clear your name..."

"Who is it?" Li Zhenyu was a little curious, who would do this.

"Yuangu Angel Garden, she said that she is the director there..." Sun Jingzhi looked surprised and asked, "What have you done all these years?"

As the much-anticipated plutocratic class, philanthropy is naturally inevitable.

Especially in a modern society where information technology is becoming increasingly transparent and popular, charity is always the best trump card.

However, these charities all have strong pertinence and purpose.

Moreover, the invested money does not really disappear, but flows into one's own account through multiple channels under different names.

In short, two words: money laundering.

The ultimate purpose is to 'avoid taxes,' simply to do charity? ? ?
What kind of fool would do such a thing.

Now it seems that Li Zhenyu is such a fool...

No, he is even more stupid than those fools, and he doesn't even want a reputation.

"For what, inner comfort, when have you been brainwashed by the West?"

Sun Jingzhi really couldn't figure out what this was for.

"Don't talk about me, just do what you want, one thing, don't disturb the life in Angel Garden."

Li Zhenyu never objected to hype, he just didn't want to involve people he cared about in interest disputes.

Anything that is entangled with interests will become complicated and impure.

Children's lives should be simple and clean.

"Of course, you have the final say." Sun Jingzhi nodded in agreement.

As for what he was thinking, no one knew.

Li Zhenyu is not as open and aboveboard as he said.

As long as Sun Jingzhi uses this news to hype, Angel Garden will inevitably be involved, and it is impossible to maintain the peace and tranquility it once had.

However, Sun Jingzhi will try his best to direct public opinion to himself to avoid too much disturbance in Angel Garden.

This is also the tacit understanding that the two have just reached, and some things need not be said too bluntly.

Because everyone is the same person at heart.

Even if Li Zhenyu doesn't want to admit it, deep down he still holds the greed from the chaebol.

This kind of nature has long been integrated into his instinct.

From the very beginning, Sun Jingzhi knew that he was right.

He was born to belong to the chaebol, destined to be one of us.
