I want to be a chaebol - Chapter 239 Lee Young-ae’s audition

On September 17, 2005, an internal document titled “Report on the Results of In-depth Interviews with Professionals to Speculate the Prospects of Advertising Models and Celebrities” (referred to as the “X-File”) was leaked from the Korean advertising company “First Project” to the public.

However, what Chen Jianxi and his son did not expect was that this report did not cause any splash in South Korea. Because before the release of the X-Files, some Korean websites had successively released black material about first- and second-tier Korean artists that was difficult to tell whether it was true or false.

For example, in The X-Files, an insider from a certain brokerage company said that the national sister Moon Geun-young had lost her virginity to the president of a consortium with the surname S. Just after Moon Geun-young turned eighteen, she took the president’s private plane to travel to Japan, and the two dated for many days in a Japanese resort.

According to D agency reports, Moon Geun Young fell in love with the male lead Kim Rae Won during the filming of “My Little Bride”. Moon Geun Young hopes to star in the TV series “Love at Harvard” with Kim Rae Won, in which Moon Geun Young will play a female academic with both IQ and beauty.

The X-Files pointed out that Song Hye Kyo, Jun Ji Hyun and Son Ye Jin had all been lovers of Chairman S. President S was very generous to them. During their relationship, he often gave them luxury houses and cars. So Song Hye Kyo, Jun Ji Hyun, and Son Ye Jin will compete for favor in front of President S.

Later, President S got tired of Song Hye Kyo, and Song Hye Kyo promptly exposed her relationship with her boyfriend Rain. Rain actually knows Song Hye Kyo’s past, but Song Hye Kyo is very powerful in the Korean entertainment industry and can help her boyfriend Rain get good TV drama resources, so Rain doesn’t mind Song Hye Kyo’s previous love history.

The reports on some websites are even more outrageous, directly saying that Chairman S has unspoken rules for all female artists in the company. Before every female artist joins Company S, she needs to go through a separate interview with the president to test the actress’s bed skills before agreeing to sign her if she is satisfied.

It is precisely because these reports are so bizarre that the Korean people do not believe the contents of the X-Files. Because anyone with a discerning eye can see that this so-called President S is Song Yi of the SA Group.

First Planning is an advertising company affiliated with Samsung, and SA Group also has SA Planning. SA Planning uses inschool, Sohan.com and Yahoo Korea to become the largest Internet advertising and marketing company in South Korea.

SA Planning has become the third largest advertising company in South Korea after First Planning and Inosun Advertising. SA Planning has launched a challenge to First Planning’s market position.

LG Group and Hyundai Group have begun to hand over their Internet advertising business to SA Planning instead of to their subsidiaries LG Ad and Hyundai Advertising.

Chen Zaiyong didn’t expect that Song Yi would actually come up with a self-defiling way to get rid of the scandal. Didn’t your first project say that I had an affair with Song Hye Kyo, Jun Ji Hyun, Son Ye Jin, and Moon Geun Young?

Then he went straight to something even more ruthless, saying that he had slept with all the major artists in the company. Even if external artists want to appear in SA Films’ productions, they have to sleep with Song Yi first.

The X-Files said that the 2004 Korean drama “Dae Jang Geum”, which was a hit overseas, kept Lee Young-ae’s star status. Because Japanese people are particularly interested in food culture, the two leading actors Kim Tae Hee and Lee Young Ae are also extremely popular in Japan.

Because Kim Tae Hee is currently in a semi-retired state, she is currently mainly responsible for managing the affordable luxury clothing brand THK and T.H.E Art Museum. Therefore, Lee Young-ae became the second Korean actress to become popular in Japan after Song Hye-kyo.

Lee Young-ae’s appearance is also the type that Japan likes. She is also very popular during her activities in Japan and will not marry her entrepreneur boyfriend for the time being.

Lee Young-ae is completely different from the image in the TV series. She likes to be mysterious and pretend to be kind and beautiful. Because I have a body that is prone to obesity, every advertisement must be edited on a computer before it can be broadcast.

She secretly likes to drink. She often attended gatherings of senior officials during the Zhong Xiaotong administration. She also liked to go to nightclubs where male models gathered to drink and dance.

The reports on gossip websites are more outrageous, saying that Lee Young-ae chose to sleep with Chairman S in order to get the second female lead role in “Dae Jang Geum” even though she had a boyfriend.

After Li Yingai saw the reports on the Internet, she called Song Yi to complain, “President Song, I feel that someone on the Internet is systematically attacking you and SA, but when you gods fight, we little devils will suffer.”

“Every day when I go out and meet reporters, I have to explain that what the X-Files tells is not true. I won’t rule out joining other celebrities to sue First Project.”

“These reporters don’t know how to think about it. If I had chosen to sleep with you, why didn’t I ask you for the role of the female lead?” Li Young Ae pretended to complain.

Song Yi laughed, Li Yingai was looking for benefits from him. Song Yi was a little tired of women like Li Yingai and was too lazy to talk nonsense, “SA Pictures is preparing to shoot a big-budget movie called “The King’s Man”. SA Pictures has high expectations for this movie and believes that it is expected to break the ” Box office record for Thieves.”

“Currently, the role of the female lead in this movie, Zhang Lushui, has not yet been decided. If you have time, come to the SA building and we will discuss the script and see if we can decide on the role of the female lead.” Song Yi said.

Li Ying’ai was dumbfounded when she heard what Song Yi said. She understood what Song Yi meant. Don’t you want the leading female role? Now that I’ve given you the opportunity to sleep with me, it’s up to you whether you want to take advantage of it or not.

She hesitated for a moment. If her boyfriend Zheng Haoyong found out that she slept with Song Yi for the movie’s leading actress, Zheng Haoyong would have to break up with her sooner or later.

But when Lee Young-ae heard Song Yi say that “The King’s Man” is expected to break the box office record of “Thieves”, she was inevitably moved again.

Jun Ji-hyun has become internationally famous since starring in “Thieves”. In addition to starring in “Kung Fu Panda”, she has also received invitations from many Hollywood blockbusters. Her annual income has always been at the top of the list of Korean female artists. Of course, this list does not include Kim Tae Hee.

Song Yi grasped Li Ying’ai’s complicated psychology and raised his lips, “Ying’ai, are you afraid that President Zheng will disapprove? How about I contact President Zheng and do his work? After all, this opportunity is quite rare, what do you think?”

Li Ying’ai was speechless when she heard what Song Yi said. She underestimated Song Yi’s shamelessness. You have already made up your mind to sleep with me, and you are pretending to discuss it with my boyfriend?

She was so frightened that she quickly refused and made up her mind, “Hao Yong has always supported my acting career. I can just make the decision on this matter myself. If I choose to star in a movie produced by SA Films at this time, it will also help clarify the relationship between me and Song.” A long-standing scandal.”

Li Yingai spent a long time looking in the mirror at home and finally chose a light apricot-colored suspender dress. The design of the straps reveals the lines of her shoulders and collarbones. The light apricot color is close to her skin color and can bring out the advantages of her fair skin.

She turned around in front of the mirror, always feeling that there was still something lacking. After she tied herself into a simple single ponytail, making her look a year or two younger, she nodded with satisfaction and went out.

When Li Young Ae arrived at the SA building, Song Yi’s secretary Jiang Xiuna was already waiting for her downstairs. Jiang Xiuna led the way, “Miss Lee Young-ae, please come with me. President Kim Woo-taek and Director Lee Jun-ik are already here, it’s just you.”

Li Yingai was stunned. She finally made up her mind and was ready to devote herself to Song Yi. In the end, Song Yi really just came to discuss the script with her, which made her mentality a little unbalanced. Am I so unable to catch Song Yi’s eye?

Jiang Xiuna came to Song Yi’s office door and knocked on the door, “President, Miss Li Yingai has arrived.”

“Come in.” Song Yi’s voice was a little lazy, as if he was not in high spirits.

As soon as Li Yingai entered the office, she felt that many eyes in the room were focused on her. She found Song Yi first, walked quickly to Song Yi, bent down and said hello, “Hello, President Song, I’m sorry, something happened on the way and I was delayed. I’m late, I’m sorry.”

“It’s okay. President Jin and Director Li have just arrived. You should say hello to them first.” Song Yi didn’t pay attention.

Lee Young-ae covered her chest, then bent down to say hello to Kim Woo-taek and Lee Jun-ik.

Li Junyi is feeling a little unhappy. When you say hello to Song Yi, you bend down directly. When you say hello to us, you cover your chest. What do you mean? I’m afraid that the poor will see it, but I’m also afraid that the rich won’t see it. I really act like a bitch and build a memorial arch. If Song Yi hadn’t been here, he would have immediately rejected Li Ying’ai as the female lead.

Song Yi patted the sofa next to him, “Ying Ai, come sit here with me. I just discussed some ideas with President Jin and Director Li, and you happened to be here too. Let’s discuss it together and let’s figure it out together. The idea of ​​a movie plot.”

Li Yingai was very surprised because the sofa Song Yi was sitting on was actually a comfortable single sofa. If she sat over, the two of them would basically have their legs touching their legs and their waists touching their waists.

If no outsiders were present, it wouldn’t matter if she sat on Song Yi’s lap. However, both Jin Youze and Li Junyi were present, and Song Yi deliberately showed his close relationship with her, which really embarrassed her.

If she really had an affair with Song Yi, forget it. The problem is that Song Yi and her have always been innocent. Is Song Yi suddenly doing this to test her obedience?

There was a smile on Li Junyi’s lips. He was observing Li Yingai’s next actions as if he were watching a show, while Jin Youze pretended not to hear and kept looking at the documents in his hand.

Li Ying’ai was helpless and walked to Song Yi in humiliation. When she was about to sit on the sofa with Song Yi, Song Yi stood up and gave the sofa to her.

Song Yi said to Li Junyi: “Director Li, do you think Li Yingai’s performance just now is consistent with Zhang Lushui’s character of a beloved concubine?”

“Zhang Lushui has just met the tyrannical and moody Lord Yanshan. The two of them have no feelings, so Lord Yanshan asked Zhang Lushui to sit next to him. Zhang Lushui’s subconscious reaction was to resist, but due to Lord Yanshan’s power, he had to obey. , just like Miss Li Yingai’s reaction just now, right?” Song Yi asked Li Junyi.

Only then did Li Ying’ai realize that Song Yi and Li Junyi had just completed an audition for her without notifying her.

Li Junyi nodded, “Miss Li Yingai’s expression and psychological activities just now were very expressive. The president does know how to choose people, and I feel that she is more suitable to play the role of the beloved concubine Jang Lushui than Jiang Chengyan.”

Jin Youze raised his question, “President, most of Miss Lee Young-ae’s previous roles in film and television dramas were relatively positive female roles, a good wife and mother with a gentle personality.”

“Jang Green Water is the only concubine that Lord Yanshan loves, and she has outstanding beauty. If Miss Li Yingai plays Zhang Green Water, will she look like a sister and brother?” Jin Youze continued.

Only then did Li Yingai realize that Song Yi was the only one supporting her to play Zhang Lushui. Producer Kim Woo-taek and director Lee Joon-ik actually have other candidates for the female lead.

Under normal circumstances, producer Kim Woo-taek and director Lee Joon-ik can decide on the main cast of the movie. If Song Yi insisted on inserting Lee Young-ae as the heroine, Kim Woo-taek and Lee Jun-ik would of course agree.

However, the inclusion of such connections may affect the enthusiasm of other creative staff, and the director will not have a good impression of such connections, which may affect the quality of the film. For example, the financial backers behind Jing Tian specially made a movie “Warring States” for her in order to praise her. The final film was hard to describe.

Song Yi said: “Movies are a reprocessing of history. If it is shot completely according to history, it will be a documentary, not a movie.”

“Yanshan Jun’s biological mother was given death by the late king very early. He lost his mother when he was a child, so it is normal to have a feeling of admiration and closeness to older women. Zhang Lushui understands Yanshan Jun’s sadness. Only by soothing his lonely heart can I become Lord Yanshan’s only favorite concubine.”

“So from this perspective, Lee Young-ae’s previous role as a good wife and loving mother is her advantage. Perhaps it is the brilliance of her motherhood that attracted Yanshanjun.” Song Yi analyzed.

This was the first time that Jin Youze heard someone analyze the role of Zhang Lushui in this way, and he was now convinced by Song Yi. The only problem now is that Lee Young-ae’s acting skills cannot bring out the charm of Jang Lu-su’s character.

Zhang Lushui is a character of great contrast. When she was favored by Lord Yanshan, her love was as deep as the sea, and she treated Lord Yanshan with tenderness.

But when the man she loved most was snatched away by another man, Kong Ji, her anger was like a tsunami, destroying everything. The man I can’t get, no one can get, and the love I can’t get, no one can have.

When she was young, she came from a humble background and suffered from the indifference of others, so her desire for power exceeded that of ordinary people. Yeonsangun was the most powerful man in the Joseon Dynasty. She relied on Yeonsangun’s favor to become the most powerful woman.

Faced with the betrayal of her lover, she was so jealous that she tried all kinds of tricks and conspiracies, and finally got rid of the king’s man Kong Ji. Her position seems to be still solid, but she can no longer enter the king’s heart.

Lee Young-ae sat on the sofa and studied the script of “The King’s Man” carefully. She was fascinated by the diversity of the role of Jang Ryok-su. She had made up her mind to win the role of Jang Ryok-su no matter what. If she can play this role well, she may even have a chance to win a triple-A Best Actress trophy.

Li Junyi expressed his understanding of the movie “The King’s Man”, “Actually, the theme of this movie is that love cannot be achieved.”

“Jun Yanshan loved Kong Ji. Kong Ji committed himself to Lord Yanshan in order to take charge of Xile Hall. Zhang Lushui chose to frame Kong Ji in order to restore Lord Yanshan’s love. The shortcomings in relationships are not a kind of shortcomings and beauty.” Li Junyi said.

“That’s right. The inner emotional changes of the characters can be explored, rather than the abnormal love triangle between the three men Yanshan Jun, Kong Ji and Zhang Sheng. If the focus is on this aspect, there may be good box office movies. But it may not be a good movie. In this case, the role of the leading female lead Zhang Lushui will also be taken away from the lead role, which will be greatly weakened and this is not my original intention.” Song Yi said.

Jin Youze and Li Junyi looked at each other and knew that Song Yi had made a request to them, which also meant that the creative direction of “The King’s Man” needed to be adjusted.

“President, Director Li and I will go find the screenwriter and discuss it first. Tomorrow we will give you the revised script for you to review. Then we won’t disturb your work and you will be busy first.” Jin Youze pulled him away. Li Junyi left directly, completely forgetting that there was still Li Yingai in the room.

After Li Yingai finished reading the script, she noticed that Jin Youze and Li Junyi had left. She and Song Yi were the only ones left in the entire office, and the atmosphere seemed a bit ambiguous.

Song Yi was a little surprised, “You are so fascinated by it. It seems that you like the drama “The King’s Man” very much?”

Li Yingai stroked her long hair beside her ears, “The King’s Man is actually a group drama, and every role is very important. As an actor, you may only encounter two or three such challenging roles in your lifetime. character, so it’s normal to be a little excited.”

Song Yi admired Li Ying’ai’s enterprising spirit, “In fact, there was such a dissolute, tyrannical and capricious emperor in ancient China, called King Zhou. In order to win the favor of his beloved concubine Daji, he tied his loyal ministers to copper pillars, and then Heating the copper pillar with fire is the punishment of burning. Zhang Lushui’s character is actually somewhat similar to Daji. I will find some DVDs of “The Legend of the Gods” and you can learn from it. But as a beloved concubine, you lack a coquettish character. The amorous feelings are meant to give you a feeling that is charming to the core, slutty but not seductive.”

Li Ying’ai was a little unconvinced when she heard what Song Yi said. If she didn’t know how to make a man happy, how could she snatch Zheng Haoyong away from Shen Yinhe? Charming men with body movements or eyes is a job she is good at.

She stood up, walked catwalk in front of Song Yi, and then sat sideways on Song Yi’s lap. She hooked her hands around Song Yi’s neck, and the two people’s eyes met. Li Yingai asked Song Yi softly, “Your Majesty, do you think I am beautiful?”

Song Yi didn’t expect Li Ying’ai’s sudden move. It seemed that he underestimated Li Ying’ai’s skill. Although she looks like a white lotus on the surface, she is actually a language-telling flower.

He picked up Li Yingai and walked to the bedroom of his office. Li Ying’ai was held in Song Yi’s arms like a princess. She was a little embarrassed and buried her head in Song Yi’s chest.

Li Yingai’s cell phone was thrown on the sofa, and someone seemed to be calling her at this time. However, her phone has been turned on vibrate mode, and the name “Zheng Haoyong” is displayed on the screen.

In fact, Lee Young-ae really benefited from the role of Dae Jang-geum.
