Chapter 1014 Who Wants to Expose Their Love
"How to say?"
After saying hello to Yoon Ha-lin, he left the cafe, got into the nanny car and closed the door. The noise outside was instantly blocked out. After Park Jae-hyun sat quietly in the driver's seat for a few seconds, he turned to look at Chi Jingyuan and asked.
Chi Jingyuan just shrugged, smiled and asked, "Brother, what do you think of that 'Gisellexi'?"
“It feels a bit strong, which doesn’t match what we know about Netflix’s current situation in the peninsula. I don’t know if it’s because they are really confident or something else.”
"She exudes a very strange feeling. It seems that she knows your current market appeal and wants to cooperate with you to make a splash in the TV drama field. However, she seems to be unable to let go of her pride and unconsciously reveals a sense of arrogance. She is also unwilling to offer good conditions... It makes people feel very awkward."
Park Jae-hyun, who had been watching and not saying a word the whole time, seemed to have seen through Lee Ji-hee and gave a very accurate summary.
At the end, he shook his head and added in a somewhat strange tone: "Most importantly, through some performances and details, I found that this Giselle xi really doesn't seem to understand some of the rules and habits of the Peninsula film and television industry, and behaves very amateurishly.
"Especially the script she gave you. From your expression, Jingyuan, it seems very ordinary... So it seems to me that he doesn't seem to be in the film and television industry. Instead, he seems..."
Park Jae-hyun paused, his tone sounding very surprised: "Instead, it sounds like the thinking of the Internet industry."
"Haha..." Chi Jingyuan laughed when he heard it and shook his head gently: "Forget it."
In fact, before coming here, Chi Jingyuan was quite looking forward to meeting Netflix. Although it is not developing well in the peninsula now, its strength is indeed strong. It is also quite fresh for Chi Jingyuan who has never cooperated with a streaming platform.
As a result, after chatting with Giselexi for a few sentences, he was immediately disappointed. He felt that the so-called person in charge of film and television content was not only impetuous, but also amateur. Not only was he unwilling to give better conditions, he even had no judgment of the script, which made Chi Jingyuan immediately lose interest in cooperation.
Now that he thought about it, the reason why they arrived earlier than him should be all thanks to Yin Xialin. This guy seemed to be quite familiar with Li Zhixi and knew something about Chi Jingyuan's strength and connections. He wanted to leave a good impression so that it would be easier to talk to him.
It's a pity that this sister can't handle it.
The coffee was disappointing, but it didn't end in a bad mood. Chi Jingyuan actually didn't feel anything about Li Zhixi's final anger and even laughed in his heart because of the other party's little threat.
To be honest, given Netflix's current situation, they should have taken the initiative to come forward and beg for cooperation with him. Although the cooperation was not reached, it actually had no impact on Chi Jingyuan.
Moreover, Chi Jingyuan had originally planned to take a rest because he had planned a lot of overseas trips this year and was afraid of the trouble of flying back and forth.
So it doesn’t matter.
"but……"
After waiting for a while, Park Jae-hyun started the car and thought for a moment before saying seriously, "In my opinion, streaming media platforms may be a trend in the future. Netflix's success in Amei has also proved this point... So I am quite optimistic about the development of streaming media in China. Although they are facing setbacks everywhere, they do have strong financial resources. In fact, if we can take advantage of Netflix's current situation to cooperate and get enough benefits, it can be regarded as bargain hunting."
Although he looks down on Lee Ji-hee, Park Jae-hyun is still very rational about Netflix and streaming media. He has recently read a lot of information and has made his own judgment.
"Um……"
Hearing him say this, Chi Jingyuan nodded slowly.
He actually has the same idea. It was not obvious when EXO first debuted, but now global music is clearly moving towards streaming media, and film and television also have this trend.
That's why he has a lot of interest in Netflix.
Also, the TV series broadcast on the channel are almost the same now, so it’s nice to try something new.
"Don't worry, let's wait and see."
After thinking for a while, Chi Jingyuan exhaled, looked out the window at the coffee shop he just passed, chuckled and said, "Isn't their self-made drama about to start filming? Let's see what the final result of their 'first self-made drama on the Peninsula' in order to make a name for themselves is... Giselexi is so confident, I really want to see what the situation will be like then..."
Even if there is no cooperation with Chi Jingyuan, Netflix's layout in the field of Peninsula TV series will certainly not change for the time being. They began to try self-production when the acquisition of TV series first broadcast rights was unfavorable, so the most important task for Netflix now is the performance of this first self-produced drama.
And no matter how much it hypes up, streaming platforms like Netflix ultimately have to rely on film and television content to attract users.
Chi Jingyuan suddenly became a little excited.
If this drama is successful, then he is blind, his ability to select scripts has dropped to a level lower than that of Im Yoona, and he is blind to the fact that the Lee Ji Hee he looked down upon is actually a real person...
But if it fails and Netflix comes back to him after learning from its mistakes, he won't be so easy to talk to.
"If this self-produced drama fails, then Netflix's situation will really not be good..."
Park Jae-hyun seemed to have thought of that situation as well, and said with a smile: "They have money anyway, so they can just change their model and not participate in the production of their own dramas but just invest money... maybe they can invest $5000 million in us."
"Wouldn't that cost Giselle xi her life?"
"Maybe I won't be able to see Giselle xi anymore by then."
…………
"Anihasay..."
"Hey Robin, guess where we are now, everyone? Yes, we are in the backstage lounge of "M!C". We are here to visit our youngest brother today~"
"Wow, 'Loved' is so popular recently. When I came in just now, I saw a bunch of fans waiting in the lobby."
"Come, let's talk to the fans."
In Ji Jingyuan's lounge backstage at "M! Countdown", the protagonist Ji Jingyuan, Park Chanyeol, and Wu Sehun were facing the camera. Park Chanyeol was holding a selfie stick high and was doing a live broadcast skillfully.
Today is Thursday, and it is the day when Ji Kyung-won will come to "M! C" to promote his song. As mentioned before, EXO's Park Chanyeol and Oh Se-hun also came to the TV station to visit. The three of them had a short live broadcast together to show their team spirit to the fans, which can be regarded as soothing the growing rift within Aili.
But it can’t be considered a show... Park Chanyeol and Oh Sehun are the ones with the best relationship in EXO, so Ji Kyung-won was quite happy to see them, and it was very natural for them to do the live broadcast.
It would be embarrassing if it was replaced by CBX.
"Well……"
However, after the live broadcast ended and there was no camera pointing at them, the three of them instantly split up and moved to both sides. The enthusiastic, energetic, and intimate smiles on their faces immediately disappeared, and they lazily slumped down on the sofa. They looked completely different in front of the camera and behind the camera.
It can’t be said that they have a bad relationship...it’s just that they are both very tired in private. No one smiles as brightly in private as they do in front of the camera, and few men like to get so close to them.
"Why do I feel like Chanyeol didn't sleep well?" Ji Jingyuan looked at Park Chanyeol who had obvious dark circles under his eyes.
"He has no schedule these days, so he's been having fun. I don't know which club he went to to choose a concubine yesterday. He was still sleeping when I called him just now..."
Park Chanyeol waved his hands exhaustedly, as if he didn't want to elaborate, but Wu Sehun was very understanding and directly exposed him. After discussing the selection process with Chi Jingyuan with great interest, he turned his eyes and asked curiously:
"When will Baekhyun and the others come to visit?"
"Tomorrow, he texted me yesterday. They will come together at CBX tomorrow."
"I thought he blocked you?"
"How is that possible? We have such a good relationship!"
"… After the broadcast, shall we go have a meal?"
"Okay."
"Choose a concubine after dinner?"
"Reconsideration."
"I heard that ZICO seems to have recovered from his injury and is back in action? Have you been playing with him recently?"
"Oh, don't mention it. I feel a little embarrassed when I see him now."
A few people often leaned back on the sofa, yawned and started chatting casually. The content of their chat was a hundred times more exciting than what they had just talked about during the live broadcast... I just don't know which one Ai Li liked to listen to more.
“Yoho…”
While chatting, Chi Jingyuan took out his phone and checked the news. He saw an interesting headline:
"According to relevant sources, the girl group Girls' Generation is expected to release a new album to commemorate its 7th anniversary of debut at the end of July."
This is news that just came out today and has now become a hot topic. After seeing it, Chi Jingyuan blinked in surprise.
The news is out, so it’s settled?
I remember when I met Kim Taeyeon a few days ago, I mentioned to him that several members of Girls' Generation would not renew their contracts, and this year is the tenth anniversary, so they hope to release a tenth anniversary commemorative album, which would also be the last album before disbanding. No matter what, every member is looking forward to it.
However, SM company seems unwilling to release this album. Although the 10th anniversary album is of great significance to both idols and fans, SM's reluctance seems a bit cold-blooded... But after all, some members have terminated their contracts, and Girls' Generation's ability to make money has dropped significantly, so SM has its reasons for this idea.
So Kim Taeyeon gave Chi Jingyuan a call at that time and asked him to help talk it over if they couldn't reach an agreement.
Although Girls' Generation was once the company's signature girl group, but now when it comes to their status within SM... to be blunt, these sisters are indeed no match for Ji Jingyuan.
Chi Jingyuan had already thought about how to tell the company, but he didn't expect to see this news today. He was surprised but also inexplicably relieved.
These sisters have been in the company for so many years and were once the leading girl group. It turns out they haven’t been there for nothing.
As a die-hard SONE fan, Ji Jingyuan is of course looking forward to a successful ending for the memories of Girls' Generation's once glorious era.
In this case, he wouldn't have to show up... He nodded slightly.
But at that time, Kim Taeyeon seemed to have asked him for something...
At this time, Park Jae-hyun answered a phone call and walked in from outside. He walked to Chi Jingyuan and whispered, "Jingyuanxi, Mnet called me again and raised the conditions. They said that if being a regular MC is not possible, I can be a flying guest for one or two episodes, and I can also be a mentor... Are you sure you want to reject it?"
"Ah."
Chi Jingyuan didn't even think about it and nodded directly: "Refuse it, I don't have time...mainly because I'm not interested."
Park Jae-hyun said that SM received an invitation regarding Ji Jingyuan’s schedule a few days ago, which was sent by Mnet.
"Produce 101", which was a huge hit last year and created the first national girl group IOI, has already started planning to film its second season this year and has invited Ji Kyung-won to serve as the national producer, which is a fixed MC position.
There is no doubt that this program was very popular last year. It was a pioneering program that formed a group out of trainees through auditions, and it caused a nationwide frenzy. Even EXO discussed it many times internally. After IOI debuted, veteran members like Park Chanyeol approached them, and it seemed that some of them actually dated them secretly for several months.
...But although the audition model is still the same this year, the biggest difference is that it has changed from selecting a girl group to selecting a boy group.
As the most popular male idol in the industry recently, Chi Jingyuan's participation will definitely greatly increase the popularity of the program. Moreover, as a TOP senior from the top group, he can also guest-star as a mentor to these male trainees, which also increased the topic.
It’s just… I’m somewhat interested in the girl group, but I’m not interested in the boy group Chi Jingyuan.
So even though Mnet's attitude was very good, he could choose his own recording time, receive all kinds of benefits, and even hinted that SM could send a few trainees to participate and have a designated debut spot.
Unfortunately, Chi Jingyuan thought about it and declined... and SM didn't care about the debut spot.
After seeing Chi Jingyuan's determined attitude, Park Jae-hyun didn't try to persuade him. He just nodded and left. Wu Se-hun, who was standing next to him, took the opportunity to ask curiously, "What's this invitation?"
"It's the second season of 101..." Chi Jingyuan explained to the two.
"The second season has been changed to a boy band? That's quite boring..."
Wu Se-hun was a little surprised when he heard this, and suddenly he seemed to think of something: "But... why do I feel weird? Is this boy band coming for us?"
"..."
Chi Jingyuan raised his eyes and glanced at him, without saying anything, but just shrugged in agreement.
He actually had the same feeling. EXO itself had been unanimously targeted by the industry, and then "101" was revised, from a girl group to a boy group, and it was still the kind of model that involved cooperation among multiple brokerage companies and relied on national talent shows.
If we go by the popularity of last year's show and IOI, and the fact that boy group fans are inherently crazier than girl group fans, and EXO's recent situation hasn't been very good after two of its members were repeatedly linked to romance, this boy group might actually pose a threat to them.
Last year they joked about things like 'We have no competitors now, those people won't come up with a new boy band to compete with us'.
I didn’t expect that my words would come true. It’s happening now.
This is also one of the reasons why Chi Jingyuan didn't want to participate.
"Don't worry, it's okay." Park Chanyeol heard the two people's discussion and waved his hand nonchalantly: "XO is not a threat that can be threatened by any boy band now. Last year, IOI was suppressed by Twice and had no temper at all."
"It's just that our relationship was exposed. Don't worry, even if more people are exposed, we are still EXO..."
Park Chanyeol said carelessly: "Even if we are exposed, as long as Jingyuan doesn't expose it, it won't be a big problem, unless then Jing..."
This guy seemed to be a bit upset after his relationship was exposed. He seemed to be reckless when talking about the topic of EXO's relationship exposure, and he seemed to be expecting others to be dragged into it.
However, his tone was full of confidence in EXO, or in Chi Jingyuan.
"Brother, don't say anything about being exposed and dying..." Chi Jingyuan interrupted him immediately, and was unusually nervous: "You forgot that this mouth is very effective."
“Who wants to expose their relationship?”
At this moment, a crisp voice suddenly came from the door. When they looked up, they saw several familiar faces peeking at the door.
They are from Red Velvet, Kang Seulgi, Kim Yerin, and...
Bae Joo-hyun.
The voice came from Bae Joo-hyun. She was standing in the front, leaning forward slightly. After scanning left and right, her eyes were fixed on Chi Jingyuan with a smile, and she asked curiously.
