After being reborn, I also want to fall in love

Chapter 358 Korean Entertainment: Dad from the East
Chen Shuo’s leisurely and entertaining time did not last too long. After only two days in the B&B, he was about to leave for Seoul.

Before leaving, Lin Jingrong called Chen Shuo to the room and held a family meeting.

Those present included the head of the family, Ms. Lin Jingrong, the servant Mr. Chen Lingjie, as well as Chen Shuo and his younger sister.

Chen Shuo held his little sister Lin Mi in his arms, stuffed the bottle into her mouth, and looked up at Lin Jingrong: "What's the matter? I'm very busy."

"You have so many girls, you are really busy." Lin Jingrong said.

Chen Shuo was a little shocked: "Mom, if you say so, I can only half accept it. Without investigation, I have no right to speak. You say this about your own son. Isn't it too hurtful to the relationship between family members?"

Lin Jingrong knew that her son was eloquent and very good at changing the subject, so she simply ignored him.

"That day Yi Yining and Gao Lin came to the farmhouse to play BBQ with me and your father."

"Hey mom, you are so fashionable. You don't say barbecue, you say BBQ."

"."

Lin Jingrong sighed and looked at Chen Shuo with a smile: "Yi Yining is a medical student, right? If you ask me, she must have excellent academic performance."

Chen Shuo nodded: "Of course not. If it weren't for a gifted person like me suppressing Ming University, the title of National Outstanding College Student would definitely be hers."

Chen Lingjie on the side couldn't stand it any longer: "How dare you say that? Did you get that title of National Outstanding University Student easily? I am embarrassed to expose you."

So what? Adults don’t look at the process, they only look at the results.

Lin Jingrong said slowly, "Yi Yining's knife skills are really good. Swish, swish, swish, before I can even see clearly, he has already dissected a whole chicken. It's amazing."

"If this knife cuts someone, it would be so painful."

You seem to be hinting at something, mom.

Chen Shuo put the little sister who was well fed back into the stroller and said calmly: "Yi Yining's knife is a knife of benevolence. It is used to save people. Even if it cuts people, it is to save lives."

"Mom, I hope I'll be alright, OK?"

My mother, Lin Jingrong, has been working hard in society and has been a strong woman for half her life. When her son became successful, she retired early and started to take care of her husband and children.

But years of social experience have made her see clearly that there is no need to point out the things between men and women. If they are attracted to each other, everything will happen naturally.

Lin Jingrong could clearly feel the inexplicable magnetic field from Chen Shuo, Yi Yining, and Gao Lin.

My son, ah.
One week later, Seoul, Incheon International Airport
Chen Shuo, dressed in a suit and tie, took off his sunglasses, as if he was still in China.

Because everyone around me speaks Chinese, there are a lot of people from tour groups of all sizes, purchasing agents, etc.

"Damn, the entire tourism industry in East Asia depends on the Chinese." Chen Shuo sighed.

It's a pity that even though we try to give money to others, most of them still look down on Chinese people.

"Boss Shuo, you are here."

Guo Zhengyun, Jian Jia and Yu Mo, who had arrived in advance, led a large group of people to greet them in front of the terminal.

The Koreans are more particular about pomp and circumstance, and when entertaining important guests, they will go all out.

The common people look down on the Greater China market on the Internet, but the upper class who truly control the resources know very well how terrifying the power of the neighboring University of Tokyo is.

Similarly, the market nurtured by the vast land over there is also mouth-watering.

"Hello, Chairman Chen Shuo. I am the executive of CJ Entertainment. My name is Li Shiwu."

A middle-aged man walked up quickly, smiled and extended his hand: "Welcome to Seoul."

These two sentences were spoken in Chinese, and their pronunciation was quite standard.

"Hello, Mr. Li."

Chen Shuo shook hands with Li Shiwu and said with a smile: "Your Chinese is not bad."

“I had been in Qingdao for ten years.”

"Oh, that's great, you can eat fresh cabbage."

"Yes, Chairman Chen Shuo, your country's cabbage is really delicious."

Not only did Korean film and television producers come together this time, but several large entertainment companies also sent people, including the well-known SM, and famous artists such as TVXQ, Girls' Generation, etc.

There are also JYP and YG. These three are known as the three major entertainment companies, and their idol groups are all popular idol groups.

It is no exaggeration to say that if the artists under these entertainment companies hold concerts in China, they will be very popular.

The fat guy Du from Mango TV knelt down on one knee to YG artist G-Dragon in front of countless online and offline audiences at the New Year's Eve party.

Therefore, capital tycoons like Chen Shuo look down on these people in the entertainment industry.

Get in the car and drive into downtown Seoul.

How can I put it, it’s a terrible batch.

Except for a few places like Cheongdam-dong that have the feeling of an international metropolis, the rest of the places are almost all low-rise houses.

You know Apgujeong, it is home to a large number of brand-name stores, large shopping malls, and nightclubs. It is known as the forefront of fashion and popular culture. Its predecessor was specifically used for the entertainment of Koreans' moldy dads.

After entering the city, Chen Shuo only glanced out the window a few times and then lost interest.

"Chairman Chen Shuo, I know very well that you are here to integrate our film and television resources, and you are also representing Chairman Ma of Penguin Technology. For this, we have made sufficient preparations."

"We will show our utmost sincerity," Li Shiwu said with a smile.

Chen Shuo asked: "Then what do I have to pay?"

Li Shiwu smiled and said, "We certainly hope to use your company's position in Greater China to help our country's entertainment industry prosper even more in your country."

This old Korean is quite cultured and even uses idioms when speaking.

Now that everyone is in a cooperative relationship, Chen Shuo shouldn't be too arrogant. But it doesn't matter. The restriction order on Korean culture will be issued in a few months, and then I will let you see who is the real father.

As for the restriction on Korean culture, there has never been any formal document issued, it has only been put into action.

In the entertainment industry, the first thing is to reject all performance approvals for Korean stars to come to the country, prohibit new TV drama and variety show cooperation projects, and major travel companies no longer sell Korean travel products.

This means that in China, the Korean entertainment industry has been banned from all aspects.

Chen Shuo stayed at the Shilla Hotel.

"Chairman Chen Shuo, please have a good rest first. We will have dinner together in the evening." Li Shiwu and others sent Chen Shuo to the door of the guest room, bowed slightly and left.

Walking downstairs, Kim Min-young, the actual helmsman of SM Entertainment, lit a cigarette for Lee Se-woo, and the two stood beside the car puffing smoke.

"Brother, the relationship between our Republic of Korea and Dongdaemun has been rather delicate recently, and you know the reason." Kim Min-young took a puff of cigarette.

"Sade, I know."

Li Shiwu nodded: "I know the Chinese very well. They have a strong sense of patriotism. But it doesn't matter. Even if the relationship becomes hostile and they boycott us in all aspects, as long as we have idols and stars, their young people will follow us."

"You three companies must spend a lot of money on PR in their countries every year. Many young people are obsessed with following your artists."

Jin Minying listened and smiled: "Yes, those young men and women who chase stars are spineless."

"Many of their citizens are the same, they only care about their own interests. As long as our supermarkets in the Republic of Korea lower their prices a little, they will not care about national hatred or family feuds."

“But they do have money.”

Li Shiwu smiled calmly: "That piece of land represents infinite wealth. If we reach an agreement with Chen Shuo this time and he invests to fight against Netflix, the value of our industry will be raised to a higher level." After listening to this, Jin Minying thought to herself, I hope so.

After saying goodbye to the cultural industry professionals from Seoul who came to greet him, he called Jian Jia and Yu Mo to his guest room.

"What have you done these days?"

Chen Shuo lit a cigarette and crossed his legs. Today he was smoking leaf cigarettes from Seoul, which had a faint mojito flavor and tasted pretty good.

Jian Jia sighed: "Mr. Shuo, Koreans really don't treat artists as human beings, especially idols."

Yu Mo also nodded in agreement: "Yes, those famous idols are all good oppa and unnie in the eyes of fans, but they have no say in front of the company, and they have to go to consolation performances and dress like wild chickens."

After they finished speaking, they looked at each other and said in unison: "The lives of domestic artists are too good."

"Anything else?" Chen Shuo asked.

Yu Mo pondered for a moment, frowned and said: "Boss Shuo, although the Koreans are polite to us on the surface, many people look down on us deep down and think that we are just stupid people with a lot of money."

"They think their idols are very popular and can make a lot of money as long as they go to China, so even though we provide funds, they think they are in a dominant position."

It seems that Jian Jia and Yu Mo did not spend all their time having fun during their few days in Seoul.

"There are too many people in China. The vast majority of them have backbone, but a small number of people don't care about their patriotism. As long as they like it, they are willing to spend money. This cannot be stopped."

Chen Shuo smiled and said, "In other words, even if there are only a few people, they can feed the entire Korean entertainment industry."

"Then what should we do?" Jian Jia frowned. "I really can't stand the unreasonable arrogance of the Koreans. They are a small country with few people, but they jump up and down every day to show their pitiful sense of superiority. What's infuriating is that our consumer market actually wants to kowtow to them. It makes me so angry!"

Yu Mo followed up, "Yeah, the more I think about it, the angrier I get. I was so hard on myself when I touched the thighs of female idols these past two days."

Chen Shuo: "."

"It doesn't matter. Their good days are numbered."

Chen Shuo estimated the time in his mind and said with a smile: "By then, the initiative will be entirely in my hands. It will be just around the corner to fight against Netflix, integrate the entire East Asian entertainment industry, and establish a brand new international paid video portal."

As expected, in the subsequent negotiations, the Seoul entertainment company put forward many harsh demands. Although they seemed to be friendly on the surface, they were actually treating Chen Shuo as a sucker.

Chen Shuo didn't say anything and just kept silent for the time being.

"We came here with great sincerity." Chen Shuo looked around and said with a smile, "But so far, I haven't seen your sincerity. If that's the case, there's no need for us to continue talking."

Dozens of people below looked at each other, and Li Shiwu smiled and said, "Chairman Chen Shuo, we definitely don't mean to take advantage of you. It's just that the high-quality culture we export is indeed worth the price."

Chen Shuo smiled and said, "Without my market, no matter how good your works are, what good will it be?"

"Without my funds, how can you fight against Netflix?"

Everyone was silent, but had no intention of backing down.

They are certain of one thing: even without Chen Shuo, the Korean entertainment industry can still thrive in Dongda. The only difference is how much profit they can make.

"Let's take a break first." Chen Shuo crossed his legs, walked to the window, lit a cigarette, and ignored the group of people.

Li Shiwu, Jin Minying and others looked at each other and walked out of the meeting room.

A group of men were smoking, with looks of victory on their faces.

"Chen Shuo must be well aware of this. He has to agree to our conditions even if he doesn't agree. After all, our entertainment industry is decades ahead of theirs."

A senior film director said proudly: "And now their country is crazy about Korean entertainment. This time, we won."

"We need to raise the shareholding ratio even higher."

"Yes, our company plans to hold more than a dozen concerts in Greater China in the second half of the year. By then, the ticket sales will be a very substantial income."

"."

Just as several bigwigs in the Korean entertainment industry were talking, a female secretary hurried over to Li Shiwu, whispered a few words in his ear, then bowed and stepped aside.

"Brother, what happened?"

Seeing that Li Shiwu looked unhappy, Jin Minying teased, "Is it that female idol you like again who forced you to divorce your sister-in-law?"

Several men who were on good terms with each other burst into laughter upon hearing this.

Lee Se-woo has a very high status in the Korean entertainment industry. He has extensive connections with major chaebols and even the Blue House. He has played with countless female artists.

"Stop laughing."

Li Shiwu's face was grim, and he said word by word: "Shit, the four Lotte supermarkets in Dandong have been shut down because of fire safety issues!"

Everyone was stunned.

“What’s going on!?” Everyone present was a smart person and knew that this could not be a simple incident.

It’s understandable that one fire department has problems, but what if all four have problems?
You are a liar.

"It's THAAD." Li Shiwu took a deep puff of his cigarette. "They are serious about it."

Jin Minying said hurriedly: "This may just be a gust of wind, just like in the past, we should not panic."

"Chen Shuo must have heard the rumors, so don't be impatient during this period, and we can't panic either!"

Just as several people were whispering, Chen Shuo led everyone from Mimi Technology out of the conference room. He put his hands in his pockets, smiled and greeted Li Shiwu and others.

"Director Li, let's end today's meeting here. If you want to continue the discussion, please come to my room in the evening."

After saying that, he left with a swagger.

Just as Li Shiwu was about to step forward to stop Chen Shuo and want to talk things over, a director of YG Entertainment suddenly grabbed his sleeve.

"What are you doing?" Li Shiwu frowned and scolded, "You dare to pull my sleeve, you bastard, are you crazy?"

The director quickly let go of Li Shiwu's sleeve, feeling extremely nervous. In Korea, seniors have almost absolute power over juniors, and you cannot resist at all.

"elder brother!"

The YG director said in panic: "I'm sorry, I"

"What's going on?"

Seeing that Chen Shuo had already walked away, Li Shiwu stopped and said unhappily: "If you can't give me a legitimate reason, kneel down!"

The YG director had a sad face and wanted to cry but had no tears: "The company told us that all our performance applications have been rejected."

Li Shiwu was shocked and looked at Jin Minying.

"I'll call and ask." SM Entertainment also has performances in the near future.

After walking to a corner and making a phone call, Kim Min-young said to Lee Se-woo with an unpleasant expression, "Our application was also rejected, and there is no time limit, which means that we may never be able to perform at Dongda."

“JYP, what about you guys?”

“We were also rejected.”

Li Shiwu was speechless.

Could it be that they are serious this time?
