Entering the Chinese entertainment industry is like entering a deep sea

Chapter 572 Banquet Troubles
"Boss, these two are Li Meijing's right-hand men." Yu Miao introduced the two people who were walking towards him and standing next to Li Meijing in Mandarin.

Li Meijing gives people a meticulous feeling when she walks, although the two men on both sides with their heads held high and chests puffed out have good temperament.

But standing on both sides of Li Meijing, Li Chen always felt like Li Meijing's kept gigolo.

When Li Chen arrived at the hotel, he had already met Li Meijing.

The three of them came forward, and Li Meijing stretched out her hand and said with a smile, "Director Li, Miss Liu, and President Yu, welcome to Seoul. Please come in."

Li Chen and Liu Yifei said thank you and followed Li Meijing to the front of the banquet hall.

Li Meijing walked over and said, "Mayor Li hasn't arrived yet, let me introduce you to some friends first."

Li is the second most common surname in South Korea. Li Chen had found out before coming that the person coming today is Lee Go-young, the deputy mayor of Seoul.

"It's okay." Li Chen nodded.

Liu Yifei followed her husband closely, and seemed to be influenced by him, becoming calm and composed, with a sense of composure.

This made some people in the hall feel ashamed.

Liu Yifei was very sensitive and thought to herself, "No wonder Li Chen said that these South Koreans are like a group of soft-bodied animals with no backbone."

"Looks confident and arrogant, but in fact is inferior and arrogant."

I remembered what Li Chen said before he came: a group of small people on a small island, the highest official they can be is just the island owner.

Liu Yifei couldn't help but want to laugh.

Li Meijing introduced to Li Chen the celebrities from all walks of life who were present today.

Except for CJ Group’s president Lee Jung-hyun, Lee Mi-kyung’s younger brother Li Chen, who has seen the photo.

Before Li Chen arrived, he didn't pay any special attention to the other people present.

These two siblings are supposed to be the prince and princess of Samsung, but unfortunately they were unlucky and met an incompetent father.

"Director Li, Ms. Liu, this is our famous South Korean actress Kim Hee Sun."

"Come to think of it, you two Mrs. Li are somewhat similar." Li Meijing glanced at Liu Yifei and smiled.

Kim Hee Sun looked at Li Chen with interest.

From the perspective of Liu Yifei who was standing next to her, she always felt that there was a hint of green in Kim Hee Sun's eyes.

It was like a wolf seeing a sheep. Liu Yifei felt amused in her heart: Why did she think of her husband as a sheep? He should be a wolf!
Liu Yifei stood beside her husband and also looked at the actress who is known as the most beautiful woman in South Korea with a smile.

Of course she knew what Li Meijing meant.

She also married a South Korean tycoon and has just returned to work after giving birth.

When the two beauties met for the first time, they felt a sense of mutual admiration.

Liu Yifei couldn't help but glance at her husband.

The husband still looked calm and said politely, "Miss Jin's Princess Yu Shu is still fresh in my memory."

Jin Xishan was overjoyed and immediately said with a smile: "Really, Director Li? I wonder if there will be a chance to act in Director Li's drama in the future."

"I have admired Director Li for a long time." Kim Hee Sun deliberately spoke in Chinese, but to Li Chen's ears, it always sounded like a pot of half-cooked rice.

Li Chen said perfunctorily: "There is a long way to go, there will be a chance."

Kim Hee Sun was not disappointed, and she immediately started chatting with Liu Yifei as if they had met each other too late.

Kim Hee Sun wore a black evening dress tonight. Although she had the advantage of being at home, her age, appearance and temperament were not as good as Liu Yifei who came from afar.

Li Meijing then introduced the presidents of the three major TV stations to Li Chen.

"Director Li, Ms. Liu, this is KBS Chairman Lee Byung-soon."

"Welcome to Seoul, Director Li, Ms. Liu."

"Thank you."

"This is SBS Chairman Ha Jin-yeol."

“Welcome to Seoul.”

"Thank you."

Liu Yifei gradually got into the mood, her social etiquette was impeccable, and she showed the demeanor of a lady from a noble family.

But for some reason, I always felt that today's scene was extremely funny.

Li Chen was like a domestic leader meeting with local entrepreneurs.

These South Korean presidents and CEOs all seem to be anxious to receive relief food.

Afraid that Li Chen would not remember who they were.

"This is MBC Chairman Lee Byung-hoon."

Everyone present today knows about the Jang Geum knot between Lee Byung-hun and Lee Chen.

"Director Li, I'm glad you're finally here. I've been wanting to meet you for a long time."

"It's a pity that Director Lee has never set foot in Seoul since his debut." Lee Byung-hun looks honest, but his small eyes are full of brilliance.

The translator next to him translated in real time into Li Chen's ear.

"You're here today. I thought I was the person President Li least wanted to see." Li Chen said with a smile on his face, but his words sounded different to the people around him.

There was a lot of wit in what they said, and everyone present was smart, so no one could fail to understand.

Liu Yifei had a smile on her face, but she felt a little anxious in her heart.

As soon as the husband met this person, he felt a sense of gunpowder in the air.

I don’t know what will happen next.

Li Bingxun nodded and smiled: "Director Li is really a joker. Who in the Republic of Korea doesn't want to meet Director Li and Miss Liu?"

"Everyone knows that Director Li is here to promote cultural exchanges between South Korea and China."

"Just now, Miss Liu's fans almost tore down the hotel door, haha."

Li Bingxun said a lot of things in a babble, while Li Meijing and others were calmer than each other.

Li Chen just smiled and didn't respond. Promoting cultural exchanges between China and South Korea was just a cover.

Everyone present here knows this.

What Li Chen came to South Korea for is actually the same as why Dae Jang Geum broke into the country back then.

This person was very hostile from the start and his words were full of tricks.

If Li Chen is not careful, one of his words may become tomorrow's headlines, and he may end up like Dae Jang Geum.

Finally, he returned home in disgrace.

Li Meijing and others, like Li Chen, just smiled and did not interrupt.

Li Meijing thought that if Li Chen couldn't even handle such a situation, then RC Entertainment would become useless and she would not pay too much attention to it.

Seeing that Li Chen didn't respond, Li Bingxun changed the subject, glanced at Liu Yifei and praised: "Miss Liu is very beautiful today, Director Li really has good taste."

Liu Yifei smiled and said modestly: "Thank you."

Li Chen smiled and glanced at his wife and said, "President Li is wrong. My wife is not only beautiful today."

These words left Liu Yifei and Yu Miao stunned.

Yu Miao secretly thought that his boss was determined to make things difficult for Li Bingxun today.

Not far away, Zhang Yixing and Jun Ji-hyun, who were holding champagne, looked like they were watching a Hollywood blockbuster, without blinking, as if they were afraid of missing out on today's good show.

"Little brother, has Director Li's style always been this sharp?"

"Can you please call me Oppa instead of little brother!" Zhang Yixing really couldn't stand his wild girlfriend calling him that.

Brother is brother, why add a "little" to it? Does she not understand or is she pretending not to understand.

Li Bingxun choked, and Li Meijing immediately stepped out to interrupt, "Yes, Miss Liu has always been beautiful."

"Hahaha. Yes, I was wrong. Now everyone in Asia knows that Miss Liu has been beautiful since she was a child." Li Bingxun laughed loudly.

Liu Yifei rolled her eyes at her husband with a look so vivid that the color in her eyes instantly eclipsed the other wealthy ladies and celebrities in the room.

"It doesn't matter if you say something wrong, I can help you correct it. But if you shoot the wrong picture, I can't help you recover the loss."

Li Chen's words immediately hit Li Bingxun's sore spot.

Li Bingxun's eyes flashed coldly, and his assistant Li Chengzai smiled and said, "Director Li, it's not a loss, at least it's a little profit."

"Our MBC is known as the kingdom of Korean dramas, with a wealth of talent and strong strength." "I heard that the script of RC Entertainment's first drama, "My Love from the Star," has not been written yet, but they are writing and filming at the same time."

"Director Li is so short of people? Does he need our MBC support?"

"Whether it's funding or talent, MBC's title as the Korean drama kingdom is not fake."

As soon as these words were spoken, the place fell into complete silence.

Li Meijing pretended to be dead.

People from SBS and KBS also wanted to see how Li Chen would explain the reason why "My Love from the Star" was launched in a hurry.

They are interested in "My Love from the Star" not only to give face to the deputy mayor.

They also took a fancy to the strength of this Chinese billionaire in China and North America.

The two largest markets in the world, both are huge.

No one can predict what the ratings of "My Love from the Star" will be.

But at least there is no problem in introducing "My Love from the Star" to China, and it is not impossible to introduce it to North America.

This is also the reason that SBS and KBS value the most.

If you want to introduce Korean dramas to China, you can't do it just because you have money.

In South Korea, if you have money, you can do whatever you want, but not in China.

Liu Yifei looked at her husband anxiously, fearing that he would turn against her.

But there was only a smile on Li Chen's face.

"Who are you?"

Li Bingxun smiled and said, "Director Li, let me introduce this person. This person is from our MBC."

Li Bingxun was proudly preparing to introduce Li Zaicheng.

Li Chen interrupted with a smile: "Forget it, President Li, there is no need to introduce me. I can't remember it even if I am introduced."

Li Chengzai's face changed. He felt like a peeled egg, naked as a tree, and became a laughing stock among the people.

Li Chengzai stared at Li Chen with a red face.

Li Chen didn't even look at him.

Yu Miao felt relieved and secretly cursed the man for being an idiot. Who do you think you are? Do you have the right to speak like that?

In such situations, she would never speak up unless her boss asked her to or hinted at her.

"President Lee, your MBC may have once been known as the Kingdom of Korean Dramas."

"But in the future, that may not be the case." Li Chen smiled calmly, not taking Li Chengzhang's provocation seriously at all.

Small people don't deserve to be on the stage.

Although Li Chen's words were ordinary, they were full of domineering power.

I don't take MBC seriously at all.

After that, Li Chen turned his head and looked at the two people from SBS and KBS and said with a smile: "Two presidents, since MBC is the kingdom of Korean dramas, with a wealth of talents and strong strength, I'm afraid they will not be interested in "My Love from the Star"."

"I wonder if you two are interested."

"I'm not one to brag, but today I'm breaking the rules. RC Entertainment doesn't want to become the kingdom of Korean dramas."

“But RC Entertainment will definitely be the ratings champion of Korean dramas in overseas markets in the future.”

"Rongchen Pictures still has the funds and talent. Don't you think so?"

Li Chengzheng felt like he was slapped hard in the face. He felt like a clown and was not even worthy of having his name known by this Chinese person.

Li Bingxun also looked unhappy and could no longer smile.

Many people in the banquet hall laughed, looking at Li Chengzai who had just been courting Li Bingxun as if he were a fool.

RC Entertainment was just established and may be extremely weak in South Korea.

But the influence of Rongchen Pictures in China and North America cannot be compared with that of an MBC TV station.

The two presidents of SBS and KBS certainly knew what Li Chen meant by being the ratings champion in overseas markets.

There is always competition among the three major TV stations.

They are happy to lend a helping hand to step on MBC.

"Haha. Director Li is right. We at KBS have long been interested in "My Love from the Star", so of course we can't miss it."

"SBS has expressed its position to Director Li early in the morning. If there is any need, Director Li, please don't hesitate to do so."

Li Meijing showed her sense of ownership at this moment and said with a smile: "We will talk about these later."

"Director Li, the deputy mayor has arrived. Shall we go out and greet him?"

Li Chen nodded and stopped looking at Li Bingxun.

When Liu Yifei and Li Bingxun passed by Li Bingxun, Li Bingxun said with a wry smile, "I hope that My Love from the Star will be a big hit. I will just sit back and watch how Director Li makes it dominate the ratings overseas."

Li Chen stopped, turned around and said with a smile: "President Li, if you have this much free time, you should worry about your MBC."

"The Chinese market is unique, but MBC is not the only one in South Korea."

Li Bingxun's face changed again. Li Chen's words were tantamount to a naked threat.

However, KBS and SBS were all smiles and were very satisfied with Li Chen's words.

Li Meijing accompanied Li Chen and others to welcome the deputy mayor at the door.

Li Bingxun was in a state of confusion. Today was the first time they met, and he had wanted to give Li Chen a warning.

But I never expected that just a few words from Li Chen would make me so embarrassed.

The most crucial thing was Li Chen’s last sentence, which doubled his pressure.

If Li Chen creates obstacles in introducing dramas, MBC will be in bad situation.

Among the three major TV stations, everyone knows that the Chinese market has huge potential.

Today, Zhang Yixing truly witnessed the charm of his boss.

It's like the guest has taken over the host's position.

While going to the restroom, he posted a line of words in the Yixin Media artist group: "The boss is so handsome, idol!"

"What's wrong, little star, what did the senior do again?"

"???"

"Stop talking halfway. The boss's looks are not as good as yours, little star, how are you so handsome? Explain clearly."

In the age of self-media, the speed at which information spreads is simply unimaginable.

The welcome banquet at Shilla Hotel is still going on.

Someone on the Internet revealed what happened in the banquet hall.

The terms "MBC" and "Little Leo" directly topped the hot search list.

Countless people were curious about what happened.

Even Han Sanping called Yang Siwei out of curiosity.

"Boss Han, I just learned about this from Yu Miao as well."

"MBC wanted to avenge the failure of Dae Jang Geum, but ended up shooting itself in the foot. Lee Byung-hun had already left the show."

Yang Siwei recounted to Han Saping what Yu Miao had told him.

Han Sanping didn't know whether to laugh or cry after hearing this: "Your boss is really like Nezha!"

"What, what do you mean, Mr. Han?"

"What do you mean? You make a big fuss wherever you go, and you won't keep a low profile even when you're in someone else's territory."

Yang Siwei heard the implicit praise in Han Sanping's words and said with a smile, "Boss Han, use my boss' words."

"We are the new rich, destined to step on the shoulders of others."

Han Sanping snorted: "I'm afraid your boss will step on my shoulders one day."

Yang Siwei was extremely embarrassed: "How, how could that be, Mr. Han?"
