On October 3, the 18th Busan Film Festival opened in Haeundae, Busan as scheduled. Aaron Kwok and Korean actress Kang Shouyan held an opening ceremony together.

And indeed...well, there is no need for any reason. The quality here is obviously more than that of any TV drama festival. In fact, in the eyes of Koreans, even at night, the plastic food stalls on the edge of Haeundae Beach seem to have a special charm, and they even vaguely feel that it is a cultural tradition. Even at this time, major media will tacitly reserve special pages for related food stalls to report.

For example, which famous director drank five bottles of soju here in one go? Who sat with whom showed his intimacy? Which goddess-level actor put down his airs and laughed in public? Those foreign celebrities were tamed by this traditional Korean culture?

Anyway, that's it.

"The new government is pretty good, with a lot of subsidies to the cultural community. In addition, the market has recovered in the past two years, Korean movies have indeed reached a climax. I dare to assert that the highest box office of Korean movies will continue to be refreshed in the next few years..."

"I recognize the box office speculation, but I have some opinions about the government... we say that we are not worried about the lack of people but the unevenness. Although this government has a lot of subsidies to the cultural community, it feels that all of them have fallen into variety shows, Korean dramas, and even those idols. The movies are not worth much money."

"It's already very good! Haven't you watched those left-wing filmmakers? Although your positions are different, there are not many complaints about the unexpected this year."

"The main reason is that the overall situation is good, and left-wing filmmakers are not good at going against the trend."

"Actually, when it comes to the left, in the eyes of the government, except those royal characters, the film industry, and even the entire cultural circle, who is not the leftist?"

"This is a big truth."

"What is Kim Jong-ming looking at?"

"Hmm?" Kim Jong-ming came to his senses and smiled at the person beside him. "I was looking at the food stall opposite. The person who just entered seemed to be Senior Choi Min-sik."

"Yeah?"

"It should be, you guys drink, I'll say hello." As he said that, Kim Jong-ming put down the wine glass that had never touched his lips, patted Baker's head squatting on the ground, and left the scene directly.

"Did we... say something wrong?" The food stall under the plastic sheet was quiet for a moment, and then someone immediately couldn't help asking. "I thought I had criticized the government just now? But hasn't this person already had a breakup with the Blue House?"

"There is no such thing as saying that anyone and who is having a breakup between such big names, it's all about interests."

"That's right, I can only talk about the people who are all here. Haven't you watched the state visit a few days ago? They are still a member of the business delegation!"

"But as such, he shouldn't care less about our words, right?"

"Since I don't care, why do I still listen?" A person who had not spoken suddenly smiled. "Maybe Kim Jong-ming really saw Senior Choi Min-sik and then had something to explain!"

"It seems... it's really Senior Choi Min-sik!"

"Since that's the case, don't worry, come and drink!"

"cheers!"

In this way, the food stall, which was already three-point intoxication, immediately became lively again.

On the other hand, I have to say that Baker is indeed a conspicuous guy, separated by two layers of plastic cloth. In fact, Kim Jong-ming didn't know if the person inside was Cui Dapao, but as soon as he walked over to the opposite side, the people over there were very sure who was coming. When Kim Jong-ming came to the door and opened the curtain, not only did the people inside get up to greet him, but even the seats on the head were cleared for him.

"Zhong Ming!" Cui Minzhi was indeed here, and it was probably because he met once every few months. He seemed a little happy when he stood up to say hello.

"I just felt like you, senior, but I wasn't sure. Senior did not say you were coming to Busan before. I remember you claimed that you wanted to live on the boat until New Year's Day?" Kim Jong-ming tied Baker at the door and then walked in with a smile. "Is it because the crew thought you were acting too badly and drove you out?"

"Oh." Choi Min-shik smiled and shook his head. "It's not that I broke my promise, nor that someone dared to chase me, a drama tycoon. It's really hard to have a life on the boat. I ate seafood every day in Zhendao and wanted to vomit. Then suddenly I heard that the seafood in Busan tastes quite unique, so I couldn't help but escape..."

After these two people finished telling the unfunny joke, the rest of them burst into laughter and then they sat down with them.

"What the hell is it?" After three rounds of drinking, Kim Jong-ming asked about the crew again. "Didn't it mean that the shooting task is very tight? Why do you have time for seniors?"

"The shooting is really tight, and I really didn't plan to come here at first." After drinking a few glasses of wine, Choi Min-sik, whose face turned red, then explained with his tongue. "It's just that in the past few days... uh, I'm doing ship impact or physical track capture. I just use the computer every day to simulate waves, ship-like cameras, and then something went wrong, which made the entire director team turn their attention over, and the actor's play naturally stopped. Then I can't help me stay there, so I came over and take a look, which can be considered a rest..."

Kim Jong-ming nodded slowly and comforted her: "It's reasonable. This is the first time that South Korea has done a real-life shooting in a large-scale naval battle, and it is inevitable to bump into the cracks."

"It can't be said to be bumps." Hearing this, Choi Min-zhi became more and more serious. Although the alcohol was still there, his drunkenness disappeared in an instant. "On the contrary, the progress on our side was actually beyond expectations. I guess if this continues, it will be fine to complete the production before the New Year..."

"Is that true?" Kim Jong-ming was stunned for a moment. "Is this the solar calendar or the lunar calendar?"

"Of course it's the lunar calendar, the Spring Festival!" Cui Minzhi replied angrily. "New Year's Day is only more than two months, how can it be done?"

"This is difficult." Jin Zhongming not only disliked when he heard this, but frowned.

"How to say it?" Choi Minzhi's drunkenness was a little less, and the others at the table held their breath and sniffed.

"The issue of schedule." Kim Jong-ming replied a little embarrassedly. "I'm going to tell you, it would be fine if it was the New Year's Day schedule. Because I was going to promote my own movie during the New Year's Day schedule, I would have to change it. But if it was the Spring Festival schedule, I had already promised Senior Huang Zhengmin's "International Market" and "Mingliang" that I might have to wait."

After thinking for a while, Choi Min-zhi understood which movie "International Market" was, and who was allowed to the Spring Festival period. He felt instinctive irritability and dissatisfaction... But he suddenly remembered that the other party had just attended a state visit with the Blue House, and some things seemed to be understandable. Besides, there were many familiar juniors in front of him, and the atmosphere in the plastic shed was just right. Kim Jong-ming looked so embarrassed, so some words seemed to be really hard to say.

So, this person who is usually like a cannon frowned and nodded after all, without saying much.

On the other hand, Kim Jong-ming looked at the other party's reaction, but immediately felt relieved... In fact, as the nominal producer and actual investor of the movie, how could he not know the progress of the movie? The reason why he came to find the other party was that he felt that it seemed to be a good opportunity to explain the matter to the other party. After all, if this kind of thing was said to be good morning, if it was really delayed before the matter and involved disputes, then even if he was sincere at that time, it would be useless.

As for this way of dealing with the atmosphere, it is actually impossible to do anything, because Choi Min-sik has too many conflicts that makes Kim Jong-ming feel elusive - a devout Buddhist and a top filial son, but his screen image has always been very tough; he never swears at the upper class, but he rarely makes grudges with others because of personal affairs; decades of experience in drama performances have given him strong restraint and control over the acting itself, but he is always full of passion for things that are exaggerated in life; even this passion is split. On the one hand, he seems to have a natural gene for resisting authority, but on the other hand, he has achieved something in his career and has a very high reputation and always hopes to explain his social value as if he is decent; and in the end, don't play with the impulse that is common to Koreans...

Of course, no matter what, Cui Dapao, who may be very difficult to deal with, was still worried about the surrounding environment and left some face for Kim Jong-ming. It seems that for Koreans, the bar is indeed a place suitable for talking.

Maybe he was in tune with each other. He felt that Kim Jong-ming was not the only one who was suitable for talking in the restaurant, and the location could not be limited to the food stalls of the Busan Film Festival. In fact, at this time, someone in Seoul was holding a wine glass and saying something difficult to say on weekdays. And compared to Kim Jong-ming's dragonfly skimming the water, he touched it, and this person was just lying in his heart.

"Don't give up on the strategic layout we have been persisting in for a long time because of some setbacks in front of us." Li Xiuman, who was sitting in the head, said slowly. Whether from the blood in his eyes or the serious and serious face, the attitude of this tyrant-like figure seemed to be sincere at this moment.

But for some reason, facing such sincere speeches, the senior executives of the s.m company were full of s.m company on the table all looked bitter and said nothing.

"Yes, I know!" Li Xiuman held the wine glass with one hand powerlessly, as if to use it to support his body. "I know why you don't speak, and what you think... We have been talking all night, how could I not know? Of course, I also know that since we completed the industrial layout, we have never told the past results. We have been in the process of establishing relevant subsidiaries. We have not said any investments every time, but have become laughing stocks in the industry for various reasons... The movies we make ourselves are jokes, and the movies we find experts to cooperate in are jokes; the TV series we make ourselves are jokes, and the TV series we cooperate with TV stations are jokes; signing big-name actors and actresses has become jokes, and even our promising idol in the film and television industry is now a joke in the industry... But I still have to say that we must not give up on the industrial layout, and we must make a small entertainment industry ecosystem of our s.m company!"

"President." At this moment, an elderly company executive finally couldn't help but speak. "You don't have to do this. We all know what it means to call us here this time, but no matter what, it's just a temporary decentralization of power, and it doesn't matter the overall situation. And let's be honest, it doesn't matter if we don't understand, because we are all your confidants. In the eyes of us, this company was finally built by you. Now you are still the largest shareholder and the president, and everything is up to you. If you ask us to assist Kim Young-min or anyone, we have no complaints, let alone the company's strategic issue? If you really set up a established strategy, even if the person is not in the company, will we still object to a call? Why is that?"

"This is the problem." Li Xiuman looked helplessly at his undoubted confidant. "This thing is really not a matter of phone calls, because I am not asking you to make a TV series when to make another TV series, but I want you, the old people who follow me, to understand from the heart that this is a strategic thing and the direction of development that the company must persist! Therefore, we must turn our perspective from the heart!"

The confidant immediately stopped talking, and the problem returned to the starting point. In fact, everyone is not understanding Li Xiuman’s so-called strategy. How could he not understand after being implemented for so many years? Li Xiuman’s intention to invite everyone to have a drink this time is not unaware of it. An entrepreneur with a strong personal color needs to delegate power moderately because his family and his age need to be moderately delegated. He is afraid that people will leave and the political situation is unstable, so he calls his confidant to explain, but who doesn’t understand?

What do you mean? The first half of the table is about personnel cooperation with Jin Yingmin, etc., these people are still very sincere, but when it comes to this company's strategic issue, just as Li Xiuman revealed in the conversation with his confidant, everyone is reserved after all.

Why? The answer is simple. What industry layout and entertainment ecological strategy President Li said sounds very reasonable, but in fact, let alone profits, I have not even seen a glimmer of hope so far!

Therefore, you can use your own control to convince everyone, and even use your prestige to make everyone obey their behavior, but you cannot convince everyone!

Faced with this situation and to be honest, Li Xiuman looked around and felt a little bitter in his heart, because in his opinion, SM company has actually reached a very critical moment...

In fact, the years of ups and downs in the business world and immersion in the entertainment industry have given Li Xiuman a long time ago, that is, in the future, the boundaries between the entertainment industry will become smaller and smaller, and the diffusion of the idol industry will become more and more obvious. At that time, it will become more and more difficult to maintain the status of the S.M company by relying on simple idol business. On the other hand, if you want to manage the idol well, you may also need more and more complex resources.

So what should I do? Of course, it is to take the lead, make arrangements in advance from the industrial structure, convert the rich returns of the Korean wave industry in recent years into investment, and expand the company's industry in three-dimensional and horizontal direction. Idol's cultivation and operation are the core and advantageous industries of S.M, so it is naturally not to be lost. However, if film, TV, variety shows and other things can be involved in part and allow the company's funds to circulate in its own industrial ecology, that is the real safe situation.

But when I returned to my eyes, the people in front of me, or my confidants, could not keep up with the pace of the times or my own ideas, which really disappointed Li Xiuman.

"Actually... I think everyone has such a misunderstanding of our previous failure." In this way, the table was silent for a few minutes. Li Xiuman suddenly gritted his teeth, then picked up the wine glass and drank it all, but he regained his spirits and continued to explain. "Not to mention where there are no ones who don't meet in a new field? Just talk about the fact that we tried to make movies and TV series ourselves at the beginning. Now it seems that it is actually a crime of war!"

Everyone was slightly stunned.

"To be fair, when the film and television industry was in a trough seven or eight years ago, wasn't anyone eager to try the Korean wave circle? Is it our only one s.m?" Li Xiuman observed carefully. As expected, many people nodded slightly, so they became more and more helpless, but they were still generous and uplifting. "But now, who is a layman who dares to get involved in the film and television industry wholeheartedly? After all, all Koreans underestimated the barriers between the circles. And now who doesn't know that movies are the banned goods of traditional Korean filmmakers, and TV series are the banned goods of those TV stations? After so many years, isn't only Kim Jong-ming successfully pressed in? And he himself has gained recognition from the industry because of his own origins."

Now almost everyone on the table nodded.

"When it comes to this," Li Xiuman suddenly smiled bitterly. "The reason why I insist on expanding the industrial layout is that our company's position as the industry leader is actually very embarrassing. Sometimes we have to face the attitude of Kim Jong-ming, the giant, directly, and this attitude is dual..."

"This... President, what is the saying of duality?" The previous confidant who had a firm attitude suddenly became sensitive.

"Is there any inside story? Please help me solve my doubts!" ​​Someone next to me immediately followed.

"It's duality." Li Xiuman shook his head and smiled bitterly. "One of course, we have to be careful that one day the other party suddenly turns against each other. Think about it, if we don't have the ability and right to speak to make TV series and variety shows by ourselves, then one day the two companies will collapse or they intend to mess with us, how should we deal with ourselves? At that time, if people don't let our idols appear on variety shows or our idols act in TV series, what can we do?"

"Not it?!" Someone nervously unbuttoned the buttons on the collar. "Although it was a bit inappropriate before, it was the time when he was young and unstable. In the past two years, that is, Mr. Kim Jong-ming really called for the wind and rain, have we been getting along well all the time? There are also Sika and Krystal..."

"This is the second attitude I want to talk about." Li Xiuman looked at the man and smiled. "As you said, there has been no direct conflict between our company and the bastard in the past two years, and it can even be said to be a good relationship. This situation is probably due to the fact that the bond between Sika and Krystal has always been very stable. So, calling him National Oppa online, and calling him Asia's No. 1 sister in China and Japan is calling him Asia's No. 1 sister in charge. In short, the industry is getting bigger and bigger, and the situation is getting broader. It is understandable to leave some room for us to raise two sisters for him. But have you ever thought about how long this stable bond can last? Girls' Generation will renew its contract next year. Can it be stabilized in the future? Of course, you have to seize the opportunity..."

"President." Someone suddenly reacted with excitement. "Are you hinting... the reason why the company insists on the path of horizontal expansion is because representative Kim Jong-ming made a promise and is willing to give us some opportunities in related aspects?"

The atmosphere at the table opened instantly, and many people suddenly realized, and some people even showed expectations.

"I can only say that there is a hint!" Li Xiuman secretly bit his teeth again, but gave a positive answer with a smile on his face.

As soon as this statement was heard, the table immediately became lively. It can be seen that for the senior executives of these companies, their thoughtful explanations all night may not be as good as those of Jin Zhongming, an outsider's seemingly illusory attitude display. The latter's effect is simply not ordinary.

But at the same time, the person who looked at all this with a smile, President Li, who had been ups and downs in the business world for many years, felt a little indifferent, because just now, he had already sentenced all of his confidants to death in his heart... Of course, this must have happened after he snatched his wife back from cancer for the second time.

Before this, he had to temporarily entrust the company to Kim Young-min and... these people!
