Please! My relationship with the girl group leader is purely platonic.

Chapter 102 Don't anger the person who pays your salary.

After carrying the packaged drinks, Kim Tae-yeon suddenly hesitated. Then she looked at the others and asked in a low voice, "Writer-nim, I wanted to ask if FFF Entertainment has any plans to recruit trainees recently? Our friend actually has pretty good singing skills and has been practicing for several years."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Jingshu immediately understood that Jiang Youzhen's sudden question to her a few days ago must have been related to this matter.

But thinking about it, it makes sense; he and this child have a very good relationship.

But since they had all recommended it to her, she didn't mind accepting the favor, especially seeing those soft and cute eyes across from her.

Jiang Jingshu smiled gently and naturally reached out to ruffle the girl's hair. "Of course, the company welcomes anyone. My company is really short of trainees, so of course, I hope you can choose to come to my company."

Upon hearing that last sentence, Kim Tae-yeon and the others could only manage awkward smiles; they certainly didn't dare to respond.

The kind secretary whispered a reminder, "Representative, perhaps Lee Soo-man is watching us from the other side."

"Let them watch. Are they going to watch me poach his trainees?"

"....."

The boss's overly assertive tone caused the humble secretary to fall into deep thought.

Well... so what if Lee Soo-man is staring at him?

Even Lee Soo-man would feel awkward if his own trainees had such good relationships with the bosses of other entertainment agencies.

Even when chatting, they couldn't talk for too long. When Jiang Jingshu said goodbye to the girls, she added a caring reminder to them to eat on time and get some rest.

While debuting is important, her health is even more important. Since the two companies are close to each other, Jiang Jingshu often sees them.

I just felt that they were getting thinner and thinner every day, their arms were so thin that it felt like they could break if you just twisted them.

After that, Jiang Jingshu did not receive any calls from strange girls. She took some time out of her busy schedule to check on the situation of the company's trainees. Her secretary also told her that she had not received any messages from the company's front desk.

As time went on, Jiang Jingshu stopped paying much attention, but she often saw Jiang Youzhen's movements abroad.

In fact, she had to keep an eye on it; the film production company was essentially a subsidiary of FFF, and any activities or business plans would be reported to her office.

She arranged for people to handle most of the contacts with theaters and communications with the media, but Jiang Youzhen still had to handle the North American part himself, since Mads Wu's name was more useful than the company's name in those places.

After a series of business negotiations, the film was scheduled to be released in April, with two separate channels: theaters and DVDs. The DVD sales were requested by Pai Li. In fact, Kang Woo-jin and Tony admired his obsession with DVDs, but it was also a way to make money, so they did not refuse.

After all, it's a new company, and the internet is still developing. The director's reputation can bring some benefits to the film. It's not the holiday season yet, so the film promotion is being carried out on various universities.

Because there were too few creators, each promotional campaign was conducted at schools that were holding celebrations or parties, and most of the promotion for GG was done on television and radio.

But this greatly reduces trouble, as the energetic students will help promote the film crew for free, especially after contributing some party alcohol and gifts.

After the company got a standard studio for office use, Jiang Youzhen would come here from time to time. Of course, it wasn't to exploit Tony's labor, but because he had to start preparing for the sequel to "[REC]".

Previous negotiations with Jack have confirmed that he will star in the second sequel. The first movie is currently very popular, and his reputation and public image are rising accordingly.

Around noon, Tony walked in carrying two boxes of light salads. Noticing two open books on Kang Woo-jin's table, he casually asked, "Anders, are you still reading this book, World War Z? Looks like you're really interested in zombie stories."

"I learned this from my mom. She buys the film adaptation rights from novels or comics by older authors, which saves a lot of trouble."

There are many such examples. Jiang Youzhen plans to see how much revenue the movie he has will generate after its release. If it is a considerable amount of money, he plans to buy the copyright from the author.

"Great idea. No wonder you've been collecting these works lately. Let's eat first. I don't know how your appetite supports your physique; you eat so little and are so picky."

Tony seemed to have endless complaints about food. Kang Woo-jin's picky eating habits are annoying no matter which country he's in, especially for the person responsible for bringing him food.

"Even Emma couldn't eat vegetables and fruits without sauce for lunch."

"If Tony would like to bring me a kids' meal, I wouldn't mind."

Kang Woo-jin naturally picked up the conversation, only to receive a glare from Tony.

Tony sat opposite him and, as he passed the computer, noticed that it was covered in English text, and guessed that Kang Woo-jin was revising the script.

"A sequel to [REC]?"

"Yeah, Columbia Pictures has been pressuring me for four months. I'd almost finished writing it, so I'm planning to hand over both sequels to them this time, and then I can finally get rid of my OB-GYN's nagging."

These film companies have a whole series of tricks up their sleeves when they're pressing for payment. The box office revenue hasn't been transferred yet, and Kang Woo-jin still has to cooperate with the film company. Otherwise, it would be too easy for those big shots to delay paying his share.

Tony didn't discuss anything related to the film company with Kang Woo-jin anymore, but instead started chatting about everyday things. However, as they talked, the conversation inevitably drifted back to the film company.

Tony was somewhat interested, but not very interested, when he learned that Kang Woo-jin had the idea of ​​returning to Korea to make a movie.

The film market is only so big, and Hollywood is like the most delicious cake. If we go back to China now, it's no different from giving up this cake.

"Both sequels will be filmed this year, so there's not much to worry about. The domestic market is also doing well. Speaking of which, I bought the rights to an animated film in China before, you know?"

"Yes," Tony nodded; he was aware of this matter.

Mentioning this incident made Jiang Youzhen somewhat annoyed. He tossed the wooden fork into his bag speechlessly and sighed, "I was just so angry that I decided to try it myself. Besides, the domestic market is indeed quite good. I brought our company's props and equipment. Tony, a new market for this kind of subject matter is actually quite important."

The largest market in Asia is not South Korea, but the subject matter of his films is restricted, and they almost never pass censorship, so he can only suffer in silence.

Tony could understand Kang Woo-jin's thoughts, but from his current perspective, as long as the movie didn't lose money, there wouldn't be any problem.

Thinking the movie wouldn't lose money, Tony didn't offer any more suggestions; the most important thing in the workplace is...

Don't provoke the person who pays your salary.

Working people has it tough, so don't be too hard on yourself. As long as you don't have to work overtime, your boss is still a good boss.
