The Underground Emperor: Starting with Running Away with His Sister-in-Law

Page 168

The female assistant nodded in agreement.

After a long time.

Han Zhengtai seemed to suddenly remember something and turned to ask, "By the way, the announcement hasn't been sent to Park Jaejoong yet, right?"

The female assistant replied hesitantly, "It's already been sent..."

"Damn it..."

Han Zhengtai frowned.

This is a bit tricky.

Actually, aside from being a bit arrogant, he didn't lie to Ding Xin.

Many people have tried to pull strings to get on the show "Infinite Challenge".

Park Jaejoong was indeed personally contacted by a leader from the TV station.

However, since that leader was of a similar rank, there was still room for maneuver.

Thinking of this, he looked at the file folder in front of him again.

Although this Director Ding is domineering and doesn't follow the rules, he is quite generous.

In fact, Mu Xianmin made the right contact; this Minister Han does indeed wield considerable power.

At least in the variety show department, he has a lot of influence.

Arranging a seat or something is no problem at all.

But she never expected that Minister Han would adopt such a haughty attitude when facing Ding Xin.

"Schedule Park Jaejoong's appearances for 'Love Connection'..."

Han Zhengtai suddenly spoke.

"Okay, Minister!"

The female assistant initially responded, then hesitated before asking, "What about Minister Cui...?"

Upon hearing this, Han Zhengtai rubbed his temples, feeling a bit of a headache, and sighed, "You don't need to worry about it. I'll go talk to him."

"Yes, Minister. How should we issue the announcement regarding Liu Shizai?"

"Liu Shi is making an announcement..."

Han Zhengtai pondered for a while, then made up his mind and said, "Send him a notice to be the center of attention as a host!"

"C position?"

The female assistant was somewhat surprised.

"Ok!"

Han Zhengtai gave a faint "hmm," pulled a stack of Franklin notes from the file folder, and tossed them into his female assistant's arms.

"You are not allowed to mention what happened today to anyone, understand?"

The female assistant hurriedly caught it, saying sweetly, "Yes, Minister, please rest assured!"

Chapter 143 Collective Boycott

on the way back.

Ding Xin sat in the back seat.

He opened the window a crack and leisurely smoked a cigarette.

Currently, the two main pillars of the film and television company, namely its artists, have all been secured.

Liu Shi is self-evident.

Ding Xin believes that the show "Infinite Challenge" will definitely make him stand out.

Han Renjia's side is the same; they're just waiting to gather all the artists.

Filming has officially begun!

Based on the main storyline narrated by the boss, Ding Xin, the only group of novice screenwriters at Jinmen Films put in a lot of effort and quickly produced the script.

It looks quite professional.

Ding Xin couldn't understand it, so he simply handed the script to Han Renjia.

No matter what, she is a moderately popular artist.

She's already acted in several TV series, so she has a good eye for talent.

Moreover, this drama was something Ding Xin remembered when he saw Han Renjia.

It's called "New Employee"!

It is an excellent youth romantic comedy, with humor as its main theme.

It still has a large market in South Korea today.

In another timeline, the same drama also stars Han Renjia.

This is arguably the Korean drama that truly made her a star.

Han Renjia also won the Best Actress Award at the Annual Drama Awards for this drama!

There is no doubt about it right now.

Han Renjia showed great interest the moment she saw the script.

Nothing said.

If the featured female celebrity is fine, then let's get ready to start filming.

I want a show to be a hit.

A good script is certainly key, but excellent actors are also indispensable.

Let's not even talk about the small fry in Kinmen Film and Television.

Apart from Han Renjia, they are all relatively unknown nobodys.

They can just give us some minor roles in this show; they're not good enough to carry the show.

Therefore, in addition to Han Renjia as the female lead, at least three to four more actresses need to be selected to play the main roles.

You also need to be somewhat famous, the kind that naturally attracts attention.

Recently, Wu Xiuyan has been busy with this matter, but the results don't seem to be ideal.

Think of this.

Ding Xin slowly exhaled a puff of smoke and said to Wu Xiuyan beside him, "Xiuyan-xi, how's the role going?"

"Still selecting..."

Wu Xiuyan paused, then frowned and added, "It's a bit tricky..."

"what happened?"

"Things are more complicated than we imagined; so far, not a single agency has sent an artist to audition..."

"not a single one?"

Ding Xin was somewhat surprised.

"Hmm, not a single one!"

Wu Xiuyan affirmed, her expression showing a sense of helplessness.

Running a film and television company is quite different from opening an entertainment club; she's really struggling to make something out of nothing.

"Xiba!"

Ding Xin flicked his cigarette butt out the window, frowned, and cursed, "Are these talent agencies idiots? Don't they know how to make money?"

Of course, complaints are complaints.

He himself was aware of the reasons behind it.

Ultimately, it all comes down to the issue of the artist contract offered by Kinmen Films.

Those ethical contracts really put South Korean entertainment agencies in a very difficult position.

Their collective boycott of Kinmen Films was to be expected.

However, Ding Xin did not expect it to be this serious.

He's a bit lost now.

What?

You can't exactly show up at their door with a gun and force those agencies to send their artists over, can you?

Eh?
