Chapter 516 Look Again
Just as Lee Soo-man approached Seo Kun, waves of guests continued to arrive.
Jia Yueting and Gan Wei were also among them. Given their status and position, they were naturally qualified to walk the red carpet in the middle.
However, not many people knew the two of them, and Lao Jia looked gloomy on the road, so Gan Wei naturally had no mood to pose on the red carpet.
Just as she was about to take Jia Yueting's arm and quickly enter the Great Hall, she suddenly heard someone behind her shouting, "Sister Gan Wei, Sister Gan Wei!"
Gan Wei found the voice very familiar and subconsciously looked in the direction of the sound. He saw Yang Mi, who was wearing large frog-eye glasses, jumping on the side of the road and waving at him.
Gan Wei couldn't help but frown secretly, hesitating whether to respond.
"what happened?"
Jia Yueting noticed that she suddenly hesitated and followed her gaze, but did not recognize Yang Mi: "Did you meet someone you know?"
"It's Yang Mi."
Gan Wei explained in a low voice: "She got into trouble yesterday, and Brother Kun got angry and crossed her off the list of invited guests. Others were afraid of offending Brother Kun, so they didn't dare to bring her in."
When Jia Yueting heard this, he raised his eyebrows and asked with a smile: "What about you?"
"I?"
Gan Wei was a little unsure. She used to be the one with the most superior status in the Teddy Sisters. After all, she had the support of her wealthy boyfriend, Lao Jia, and she also controlled the new media channel of LeTV.
But Xu Kun is now...
"What are you afraid of?"
Jia Yueting tightened her arms and encouraged him, "Show your courage as the future boss of a listed company. Since Xu Kun has already made plans to withdraw from LeTV, I'm counting on you to support the entertainment industry in the future."
He chose Gan Wei, who was still in school, because he hoped to have a stable connection between himself and the entertainment industry. However, Xu Kun's achievements were too outstanding later, and there was no need for Gan Wei to step forward.
But things are different now. Since Xu Kun has decided to dispose of his LeTV shares, it will not be so convenient for LeTV to borrow his name and resources in the future.
So Jia Yueting hopes that Gan Wei can take on this role again.
After hearing this, Gan Wei was stunned for a moment, then he wrapped his upper lip around his lower lip and waved at Yang Mi, saying, "Stop shouting, come over and talk!"
In fact, Gan Wei didn’t really like Yang Mi’s personality, but he was very optimistic about the fighting spirit that Yang Mi showed in order to stand out.
As if he had been pardoned, Yang Mi hurriedly stepped out of the crowd and trotted to Gan Wei's side.
To be honest, she was unlucky. Usually, Zhang Xuan looked like a decent person and was always attentive and courteous in front of her. Who would have thought that he would react so violently this time.
Not only did he dare to fight with her, he even dared to spread rumors in front of so many people that the "concubine selection" was real, causing Brother Kun to rush to the school to put out the fire, and Yang Mi herself also suffered the consequences.
If ticking off the list is the punishment given by Brother Kun, then it’s no big deal, but I’m afraid this is just the beginning.
Therefore, Yang Mi wanted to sneak into the venue and apologize to Brother Kun in person no matter what - even if she had to get beaten, as long as it could prevent the situation from getting worse, she would do anything.
But whether it was her fake sister Tang Yan or Liu Shishi, who usually seemed easy to talk to, they both rejected her in the end because they were afraid that Brother Kun would be angry.
Hao Lei and Jiang Yiyan, who have the most reputation, are not in Beijing, so the only one she can count on is Gan Wei.
Fortunately, Gan Wei did not let her down in the end.
After meeting up with Gan Wei, before Yang Mi could say anything to express her gratitude, Gan Wei naturally let go of Jia Yueting, held her arm and said, "Okay, let's talk about it inside first, don't let outsiders laugh at you."
Yang Mi nodded vigorously, and then Jia Yueting led the way with one hand in his pocket, followed closely by the two women, and they soon entered the conference hall.
Yang Mi breathed a sigh of relief, and then said to Gan Wei: "Sister Gan Wei, now I know what it means that a friend in need is a friend indeed."
"Haha~"
Gan Wei smiled and said to her, "Brother Kun always cherishes the old friendship. As long as you explain it to him properly, there shouldn't be any problem. But you are going a little too far this time. How can you fight with a student in the street when you are about to become famous?"
The commotion caused by Jiang Yiyan and Liu Yifei was quite big, right?
Yang Mi secretly complained in her heart, but she actually knew the mistake she made this time. She could not be compared to Jiang Yiyan and Liu Yifei. If she really had to compare, she could probably only be compared to Zhu Yawen.
This thought made her even more panicked.
He lowered his head and said dejectedly, "I didn't expect it... I just didn't want Brother Kun to be deceived by her. Who knew that Zhang Xuan would get angry and bite me back, and even implicate Brother Kun."
Although Gan Wei was not very clear about the details, he guessed that what she said was probably untrue.
However, Gan Wei did not help Yang Mi to distinguish right from wrong. He immediately followed the topic and talked about what he really wanted to talk about: "You, you are usually quite smart, why do you lose your temper at the critical moment? If you don't get Brother Kun's forgiveness, what will happen to your bet with Rong Xinda? Are you really planning to go to Tangren to help Shi Shi?"
"This... Actually, I have a pretty good relationship with Shishi."
Yang Mi was naturally unwilling to do so, but the situation was unclear now. The Tang people were her backup plan, so she naturally couldn't just reveal her true thoughts.
So he could only vaguely mention his relationship with Liu Shishi.
Gan Wei was just about to strike while the iron was hot and stir up some trouble on behalf of LeTV when he suddenly saw someone walking out of the hall hesitantly, holding a phone.
"Tang Yan?"
Both of them recognized the person. Yang Yi angrily punched her on the shoulder and said bitterly, "You are so disloyal. I treat you so well!"
"Uh~"
Tang Yan didn't expect to meet Yang Mi here. He quickly put away his phone, said hello to Gan Wei first, and then said to Yang Mi: "I, I think it's better to slow down a bit. After a few days, Brother Kun's anger will subside..."
"Humph~"
Yang Mi snorted and interrupted her to ask, "Is Brother Kun in there?"
"Yes, just now..."
Tang Yan was halfway through his speech when he suddenly got stuck. He bit his lower lip in annoyance and said, "Brother Kun is easy to find. You can see him if you walk in."
Yang Mi felt like she seemed to be hiding something, but at this moment he didn't bother to ask any more questions. He turned to look at Gan Wei, his eyes and face full of pleading.
"Let's go."
Although Gan Wei felt a little regretful that he failed to plant the "nail", there was no rush and it was more important to improve his favorability right now.
But she didn't dare to promise, she just said: "Lao Jia and I are only responsible for taking you there, whether Brother Kun is willing to forgive you or not, we have no control over it."
"I understand, I understand!"
Yang Mi clasped his hands together and bowed twice, then gave Tang Yan a look that promised to contact him later, and followed Gan Wei into the hall.
The two were first shocked by the ten huge numbers of pastries, and then they saw Li Xiaolu holding a tray and "poaching" around the ten numbers.
"dawn……"
Gan Wei subconsciously wanted to greet him, but was gently pulled by Yang Mi. Turning around and seeing Yang Mi's pleading face, he had no choice but to put Li Xiaolu aside and take Yang Mi to look for Xu Kun's trace.
It was indeed easier to find, but when they saw the middle-aged man gesticulating and talking, Jia Yueting and Gan Wei stopped at the same time.
"Isn't that SM's President Lee Soo Man?"
Jia Yueting asked a little uncertainly.
"It's President Li."
Gan Wei and Lee Soo Man have met several times because of their frequent dealings with SM Entertainment. Speaking of which, SM Entertainment's boy and girl groups have also increased LeTV's popularity, but other video platforms are not stupid either, and have recently established connections with Korean entertainment companies.
"They seem to be talking about serious matters."
Jia Yueting said to Gan Wei and Yang Mi, "Let's wait a while before going over."
In the past two years, LeTV and Huayi have been very close because of Xu Kun. However, since LeTV announced a while ago that it would bet heavily on self-produced dramas after its listing, the relationship between the two companies has become somewhat subtle.
That's why Jia Yueting consciously chose to avoid suspicion.
As a result, the wait lasted more than ten minutes.
Because Lee Soo-man did not come here with nothing. In fact, he also brought cooperation intentions from several Korean conglomerates. If the cooperation can be achieved, it is estimated that it will bring Xu Kun nearly 50 million in income every year.
This is the money-making ability of top stars and top directors. In the next year, even with the most conservative estimate, Xu Kun’s advertising endorsement income will not be less than million.
Adding miscellaneous income, the only people in the Chinese entertainment industry who can be compared with him are probably Jackie Chan, Jet Li and Jay Chou - the total income of these three exceeded 2008 million in 4.
Xu Kun recalled carefully and it seemed that China-South Korea relations were in a honeymoon period in recent years, so there was no problem in signing these advertising endorsements.
As for using Korean actors...
"You SM guys seem to be..."
After sleeping for two years, Xu Kun has gained some understanding of SM company. He knows that they mainly make money from idol artists. Not many of them can gain a foothold as singers, let alone actors.
Lee Soo Man quickly stated: "You don't have to limit yourself to our SM company. The talented actors in our country are looking forward to working with you!"
His visit this time was to pave the way for some Korean conglomerates and movie actors. On the surface, it might seem like he was helping others, but as long as it could bring about cooperation between the two parties, SM would definitely gain benefits.
If nothing else, in the future, SM’s idols will encounter less resistance and rejection when trying to enter the film and television industry.
In addition, after the CD crisis, the Dongda market has received more and more attention from Koreans, and many people from other entertainment companies also want to copy the track of Cheon Sang Ji Hee. Lee Soo Man’s visit this time is also to demonstrate the unique and irreplaceable nature of SM.
After the follow-up negotiations were agreed upon, Xu Kun finally had some free time.
Only then did Jia Yueting take Gan Wei and Yang Mi over.
"Hey, Mr. Jia is here."
Xu Kun walked up to Lao Jia and gave him a hug, then greeted Gan Wei, but he never looked at Yang Mi from beginning to end.
Yang Mi was very panicked. If it hadn't been in front of so many people, he would have knelt down to Brother Kun.
Now I can only explain hesitantly: "Brother Kun, I really didn't expect the matter to become so serious. I just don't want you to be deceived by her..."
Xu Kun raised his hand to stop her from talking, and said sternly: "I don't want to hear your explanation now. I just hope that if you cause trouble in the future, don't mention my name again."
Yang Mi did not understand the real meaning of these words for a moment. From the literal meaning of the second half of the sentence, it seemed that by now the matter would be forgiven and not to be repeated. However, looking at Xu Kun's attitude, it seemed that it was not that easy.
"Why, are you Patriarch Bodhi?"
Seeing Yang Mi was embarrassed, Jia Yueting made a joke and then said seriously, "Can we find a quiet place to discuss the issue of stock options?"
"Then let's go to the reception room at the back."
Actually, Xu Kun wanted to take Lee Soo Man to the reception room for a talk just now, but Lee Soo Man obviously wanted to show his closeness with Director Xu in public.
Seeing the two people walking towards the reception room, Gan Wei and Yang Mi followed closely.
Xu Kun turned around and glanced at Yang Mi, but ultimately said nothing more. This was to give face to Lao Jia and Gan Wei, and secondly, he had not yet figured out how to deal with Yang Mi.
This woman is ambitious and cunning. She follows the path of Fan Bingbing, but does not have the fame and looks of Fan Bingbing - to be honest, he intended to take the opportunity to make a break with her.
But there are many people around her who are pleading for her, and she is now carrying a 3000 million bet. If she really cuts ties, she may not be able to survive it.
Forget it, let’s take another look.
…………
The words are divided into two parts.
Seeing Yang Mi thanking him profusely and following Gan Wei and Jia Yueting into the hall, Tang Yan took out his cell phone again, looked at Jiang Yiyan's number on the screen, and hesitated whether to call her.
Finally, she gritted her teeth and dialed the phone.
Although she ultimately relied on Brother Kun, she would not have been able to rise to the top so quickly if Jiang Yiyan had not worked hard to win him over.
Moreover, Sister Yi Yan's status has also risen rapidly, and she has gained control of more resources through the studio, so even if it involves some risks, she must not let Sister Yi Yan doubt her loyalty.
"Hello~"
"Hello, Sister Yiyan, I'm Tang Yan."
"It's not like I don't have caller ID."
Jiang Yiyan complained, and then wondered, "Why is your voice so low? You should be at the celebration banquet now, right? The signal in the conference hall is not good?"
"Sister Yiyan!"
Tang Yan raised his voice for a moment, then quickly lowered it: "Yes, I was at the celebration banquet. Guess who I saw just now?"
"Who?"
"Liu Yifei and her mother!"
"Oh."
Jiang Yiyan didn't react much at first. After all, Liu Yifei was also an artist of Huayi, so it was normal for her to attend this celebration banquet.
But she soon figured out what was going on. If it was just an ordinary dinner, Tang Yan wouldn't have called her so secretly.
So he asked again: "What did they do?"
"They took the Koreans to meet Brother Kun, and then Brother Kun asked Mr. Wang to pick a suitable role for Liu Yifei!" Tang Yan looked around to make sure no one noticed him, and then described it vividly: "I saw that Liu Yifei still looked reluctant, but her mother was so happy that her nose was about to burst."
After she finished speaking, there was silence on the other end of the phone for a long time.
Tang Yan couldn't help but feel a little nervous: "Sister Yi Yan, are you okay?"
"What can I do?"
Jiang Yiyan's response was calmer than expected: "Given the relationship between the Liu family mother and daughter and the Second King, unless they want to live a life of idleness and wait for death, their best choice is to take the initiative to lean on Brother Kun. It's only a matter of time."
"Hey, you're not angry?"
"Angry."
Jiang Yiyan said frankly: "But we have to find the right time and the right person to vent our anger, otherwise we will end up hurting ourselves."
She is actually only three months older than Tang Yan, but just from these two sentences, the gap between them is more than just months.
After all, Jiang Yiyan has been with Xu Kun for more than four years since the filming of "Heavenly Sword" in 03. If she hasn't made any progress, she won't be able to keep her position as the rumored girlfriend.
After a pause, she instructed, "Just pretend you don't know about this for now. I'll contact you if I need you later."
