Chapter 207 A Trip to South Korea
Before the Olympics were over, Cheng Yuan flew to South Korea with his assistant and people from the company's international business department.

Cheng Yu'an is still very well-known in Korea.

At the age of 22, he defeated Kim Ki-duk to win the best director in Venice.

The company's "Girls" and "Animal World", especially "The Eraser in My Brain", all performed well at the Korean box office.

Otherwise, CJ and KBS would not take the initiative to come to seek cooperation.

Long-distance sold several remake rights to South Korea, and the results were equally gratifying.

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

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

"Is Director Cheng coming to Korea for the first time?"

"Yes."

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

"Thank you, Ms. Jin, let's talk about the tour after finishing business."

"of course."

After all, CJ has asked Cheng Yuan, if not for the special effects of "The Martian" in Korea Digital Creative, CJ may not have asked Cheng Yuan to come.

In the car, the two chatted briefly about the previous cooperation between the two parties. CJ participated in the distribution of almost all the films in South Korea. The Korean distribution of "The Martian" also gave CJ entertainment.

In fact, if Cheng Yu'an only had a remote company, CJ and KBS would not have paid so much attention to it, but the problem is that Cheng Yu'an also has a company in Hollywood, and its strength is not weak.

The only one in Asia that can enter Hollywood is the Japanese family, and it is the result of so many years of spending money in the United States.

But Cheng Yu'an quietly opened a very successful production company in Hollywood.

CJ is so greedy, although he is the largest distribution agent of Hollywood in South Korea, who would not want to go further.

So they turned their minds on Cheng Yu'an.

They have no shortage of money, and they are even willing to use money to buy a way out, but they don't want to be fooled by Yankees for more than ten years like Japan before they can get a share of the pie.

Cheng Yu'an and his team were arranged at the Shilla Hotel in Seoul, a five-star hotel under Samsung.

"Director Cheng, please rest well, we will visit again tomorrow."

Jin Jingya left after arranging 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 didn't have the appetite to have dinner with them, so he could only arrange for them to stay and wait until tomorrow.

Cheng Yu'an was tired, but not tired, but getting off the plane and getting on the car again, the bumps and bumps were 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 the business card.

Cheng Yu'an glanced at Xiao Zhang meaningfully, and Xiao Zhang was terrified by him: "Brother, a younger sister in my hometown is a trainee in SM, and she begged me to come here, and I can't help it."

Cheng Yuan did not meet with SM in his Korean itinerary at all, and the two did not know each other at all. Now that the other party suddenly came to the door, Cheng Yuan certainly suspected that it was the assistant who did the trick: "This is not an example."

Being able to find me through Cheng Yuan's assistant's younger sister, I have to say that SM is really 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 Kim Young-min, and I don't know what kind of official he is."

Cheng Yu'an's knowledge of Korean entertainment is also limited, and the management of SM knows that Li Xiuman is the founder.

"Isn't he a singer? He doesn't fight with us." Cheng Yu'an pinched his business card.

"Then see them?"

Cheng Yu'an thought for a while, after all, SM is a local snake, or a big snake, and they have taken the initiative to come to the door, so they have to meet: "Please come in."

Jin Yingmin looks ordinary and is not tall, but he is very formally dressed, with a suit and tie, and he looks serious and reserved.

In contrast, Cheng Yu'an, who was dressed in casual clothes, sat there leaning forward, looking like a big boss.

Xiao Zhang led the group of SM into the living room. Kim Young Min introduced himself first, and then introduced the three girls he brought with him.

"This is our trainee, Ms. Song Qian, a Chinese, and a fellow villager of Director Cheng's assistant, Mr. Zhang." Xiao Zhang said that the younger sister in his hometown is her. .

Cheng Yu'an couldn't recognize the remaining two girls because of his face blindness: "This is Lin Yuner, an artist from our company, and this is Kim Taeyeon."

"Anihasai." The two girls bowed slightly.

"Girls' Generation?" Kim Taeyeon and Cheng Yu'an really didn't know, but Lin Yuner did.

The bad movie "War God Zhao Zilong" that made money!The producer made a profit of [-] million.

But Lin Yuner was directly sprayed out of the Chinese film and television drama market.

Seeing that Cheng Yu'an actually knew about Girls' Generation, Jin Yingmin couldn't help being happy: "Yes, Yoona and Taeyeon are members of Girls' Generation."

Girls' Generation debuted in August 07, and became popular immediately after debuting!
It stands to reason that such a popular group should be very busy, why do they still have time to come to him at night.

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

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

Many Koreans think that idols are not big names, so the more popular they are, the more they can't understand them, thinking that you are nothing, why make so much money.

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

The whole regiment fell into a window period.

This made Jin Yingmin very anxious. He was the one who made it up to deal with Wonder Girls when he was young. If the ANTI window continues, the company will have to pay for it.

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

"Director Cheng, I like your "Animal World" the most." It was Lin Yuner who spoke.

"I like "The Eraser in Your Mind" the most." Kim Taeyeon.

"But I am not the director of these two movies." Cheng Yu'an laughed.

Without even thinking about it, Jin Yingmin opened her mouth and said, "Director Cheng is the producer, producer, or screenwriter. Of course, these two films are the works of Director Cheng. That's what Wuli Yoona and Taeyeon mean."

He added: "This time I took the liberty to visit Director Cheng because I want to introduce our SM Entertainment Company."

If you are looking for cooperation, tell me earlier!
"Isn't your SM the largest and most famous entertainment company in Korea?" Cheng Yu'an knew about SM Entertainment even if he was an idiot about Korean entertainment.

"Thank you Director Cheng for your compliment."

"But as far as I know, SM Entertainment mainly manages songs and artists, and I work in film and television production. We seem to..."

Kim Young Min hastily said: "Director Cheng misunderstood, SM is a comprehensive entertainment company, but the outside world's image of us is still in songs and artist management, in fact, we also have a film company, we filmed "Flower Boys Chain Horror Incident" last year , the response has been very good.”

"We like Cheng Dao's style very much, SM has strong strength, so we hope to cooperate with Cheng Dao in film."

Cheng Yu'an and SM chatted in the living room for almost an hour, and then Jin Yingmin took them away. When he left, he was very polite, smiling and bowing.
