I am a chaebol in South Korea

Chapter 64: Hype and nature

Have you seen CJ's latest announcement? Will the debut film of a new director be released during the Spring Festival? "

"Hey? Xibala, is CJ crazy?"

"However, the film is acted by Brother Cui Minzhi, so it might be very good."

"Yeah~ How could it be good-looking? It was taken by a newcomer."

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

"Bong Joon-ho is the PD Bong Joon-ho who filmed the monster in the Han River."

"Who else can you say something more useful besides him?"

"Could it be that he is the real guide? This guy in name is just here to get gold."

"No way, son of a chaebol family?"

"If this is the case, I will definitely leave a negative review."

"Me too, why should these plutocrats take away opportunities from truly talented people?"

"Damn bastard, Xibala~"

There is a commotion on the Internet, with many suspicions about Li Zhenyu's identity flooding all major sections.

In the news, there are also voices of doubt.

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

"Is someone deliberately causing trouble?" Li Zhenyu learned the news backstage at the official promotional meeting.

"President Sun is investigating. At the moment, it doesn't look like someone is deliberately causing trouble. It's more like fans have questions and spontaneously aroused public opinion..."

No one could have expected this to happen.

Ultimately, what people are attacking is not Li Zhenyu himself.

Rather, it is the pressure and various negative emotions caused by the injustice and oppression brought about by social structure and class for a long time.

It's time to find a suitable outlet.

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

?Obviously, for the time being, they are satisfied.

"The event is about to begin."

The staff knocked on the door to remind them that it was their turn to play.

"Let's go and finish the work first."

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

"Inside, they know where to focus."

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

As an investor, CJ did not send Son Kyung-sik.

Instead, the deputy team leader and team leader of Operations Department 1 will take his place to represent CJ.

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

There was sparse applause, and all the reporters present looked so impatient.

The eyes cast on Li Zhenyu were filled with greed and desire.

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

'Did these guys receive any instructions? '

Li Zhenyu's question was quickly answered after introducing the main members of the crew.

Entering the question session, everyone focused on him.

"PD Li, was it really you who directed this film? Wasn't the script written by someone else?"

"PD Li, there are rumors that the entire film was actually completed by other members of the crew. You are just here for gold plating. Please answer this."

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

Any problem contains countless evil intentions, waiting for him to step on it with guns and sticks.

Li Zhenyu had only one answer from beginning to end, "The script was created by me. Relevant information can be found on KCC. The on-site shooting was completed by myself. Please ask the next question."

From the beginning to the end, he maintained a polite and reserved smile, and he did not look aggressive or arrogant like a plutocrat.

On the contrary, he is more like a promising young man who is polite, well-educated, and gentle.

After asking many questions, the reporters at the scene not only doubted whether there was something wrong with their sources?

This young man really doesn't look like what the rumors say.

"Everyone, there are so many people here, and 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 joking tone, the scene filled with the smell of gunpowder finally burst into laughter.

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

A crisis was resolved with Li Zhenyu's 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 40 billion and various scandals caused it to spread like a virus.

South Korea is not that big...

Son Kyung-sik's goal was achieved. "New World" became a hit before it was broadcast, and he became famous for a while.

Along with it came the mystery of Li Zhenyu's background, as well as all kinds of unbelievably exaggerated rumors.

In this regard, he himself has always remained silent.

At a stage when mobile terminals have 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... the matter is urgent. You were already on the scene when I found out. It would take too much time to get your consent to discuss it. We don't have it..."

"You're worried that I won'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 expenses we have saved because of you?"

"One billion...2 billion?" Li Zhenyu said with a sarcastic smile.

The corners of Sun Jingzhi's mouth turned up, and he raised his right hand with a strange smile: "5 billion, yes 5 billion."

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

No wonder Son Kyung-sik is so tempted, he would make the same choice if he were the one.

"This money is mine." Li Zhenyu opened his mouth wide and tried to swallow 5 billion by touching his upper and lower lips.

How could Sun Kyung-sik agree, "Zhenyu, we are partners."

"You didn't remember this when you were making decisions alone." Li Zhenyu said rudely.

"But this is for our own good...well, you can share more." Seeing that the two of them cooperated happily and the project had good prospects.

Sun Jingzhi chose to take a step back and let him get more.

But it can only go so far...

"Four billion."

"2.8 billion."

"3.8 billion..."

The two sides went back and forth, arguing endlessly, and finally decided that Li Zhenyu would take 3 billion, and the remaining 2 billion would belong to CJ.

"Know that not everyone is as liberal as you are...and there are boards and councils that need convincing."

A big company has the benefits of a big company, and naturally has 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 kicked out.

"3 billion, agreed."

A rumor was exchanged for 3 billion. This was a good deal, and Li Zhenyu chose to accept it happily.

"Next time something like this happens, tell me in advance. Maybe we will cooperate more closely."

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

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

After leaving the office, Li Zhenyu did not forget to say goodbye with a smile to the beautiful secretary outside the door: "Khaki is more suitable for you... Don't throw away your hip-covering skirt. It would be a pity to hide such a beautiful buttocks."

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

This damn charm is really irresistible.

The office door suddenly opened, and Sun Jingzhi stopped Li Zhenyu who was about to leave: "I almost forgot something. Someone called me during the interview, and it seemed that he wanted to clear your name..."

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

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

As a plutocratic class that attracts much attention, it is natural that charity is unavoidable.

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

However, these charities are highly targeted and purposeful.

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

To put it simply, two words: money laundering.

The ultimate goal is to 'avoid taxes' and simply 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 stupider than those fools, and he doesn't even want his reputation.

"For what, inner comfort? When did you get brainwashed by the West?"

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

"Stop talking about me. Just do whatever you want. One thing, don't disturb the life of Angel Garden."

Li Zhenyu has never objected to hype, he just doesn't want to involve the people he cares about in interest disputes.

Anything entangled with interests will become complicated and impure.

Children's lives should be simpler and cleaner.

"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 upright as he said.

As long as Son Kyung-sik uses this news to create hype, Angel Garden will inevitably be involved, and it will be impossible to maintain the peace and tranquility it once had.

However, Son Kyung-sik will try his best to direct public opinion towards himself to prevent Angel Garden from being disturbed too much.

This is also the tacit understanding the two have just reached. Some words don't need to be said too straightforwardly.

Because, deep down, everyone is the same kind of person.

Even if Li Zhenyu doesn't want to admit it, he still has the greed from the chaebol deep in his heart.

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

From the very beginning, Sun Kyung-sik knew that he had seen the right person.

He was born a chaebol and was destined to be one of us.
