Chapter 80 Solution
By noon, Zhou Wenzhe still hadn't seen any news online, nor had he received any calls from SM Entertainment or Yoona.
It seems the paparazzi hadn't decided what to do last night.
Forget it, forget it.
there is always a solution to a problem.
Let's think about the task first.
He has recently increased his intimacy with several girls, especially with Yoona, whose intimacy level has risen significantly. The two now have an intimacy level of 78 points, the same as Son Seungwan.
In addition, his intimacy level with Choi Sulli has also increased to 75 points.
These individuals have all been included in his reserve list.
However, Nayeon, who currently has the highest intimacy level, only has 86 points, which has only increased by one point, while Jisoo remains unchanged at 82 points.
It seems that once the intimacy level exceeds 80, it becomes very difficult to increase it further. I wonder how difficult it will be once it reaches 90.
You still need to rely on free points, otherwise you won't be able to complete the "carry on the family line" task.
The first phase of the "Future Entertainment Tycoon" mission is now complete. He has already invested in four film and television productions, exceeding the minimum requirement. Now, as long as one of them is profitable, the first phase of the mission will be completed.
However, it will take another 7 or 8 months to receive the first phase reward.
The second phase requires investing in no fewer than five film and television productions within three years, with at least three of them being profitable, and also involves pushing two entertainment companies to go public.
It's time to start preparing now, as the listing process takes quite a long time, unless it's a backdoor listing.
The third phase requires ten films and television dramas, with at least six of them generating profits, and also requires an entertainment company with a market value exceeding 10 trillion Korean won.
The difficulty of completing the task at this stage increases exponentially.
Investing in film and television productions is easy; he's got plenty of money, he can just invest blindly.
However, profitability is another matter.
According to Tianyi Capital's research, of the hundreds of movies and TV series produced in South Korea each year, less than 15% are profitable, and only 30-40% break even. Most of them don't even break even.
This is the current state of the South Korean film and television industry, and it's also the main reason why film and television productions are struggling to find investment.
Entertainment companies usually prefer to cultivate idols. A popular group can easily earn tens of billions of Korean won a year, and top groups can even earn hundreds of billions of Korean won in revenue a year.
This is the best proof of the stock price increase.
Capital is always profit-driven.
As for film and television dramas, with such a large investment, it takes at least a year to see the results, and even then, the results may not be good.
Now there's a company willing to invest heavily in film and television dramas, with relatively few requirements. This is like a second parent to those directors, screenwriters, and even actors.
【Girls' Generation Reunion】This task is not being considered for the time being, as there are currently no opportunities for it.
In the end, Zhou Wenzhe's only remaining task is to "understand the heart of a young girl," which is to talk about the trainee named Liu Zhimin from SM Entertainment.
Let's finish this task first, since failing to do so might randomly reduce one skill level.
Although the chance of reducing the level of skills is not high, he dares not take the risk.
After tidying up a bit, Zhou Wenzhe went out.
Just as he drove out of the underground parking lot, he saw the same bread truck from last night, still parked in the same spot.
Okay.
It came without any effort.
Zhou Wenzhe was just wondering how to find them, but they came to him on their own initiative.
He originally intended to go to SM Entertainment, but then drove in the opposite direction.
The paparazzi in the bread truck were very excited when they saw the familiar car and quickly followed it.
Last night, after looking at the photos, the president gave him a new task: to find out who the man in the photos was.
Because we don't know who he is, the photo isn't very valuable. There are too many excuses he could make. Relatives and friends can all say that, and they don't have any other substantial evidence. Even if he denies it, they can't do anything about it.
Only by knowing Zhou Wenzhe's true identity can they decide what to do next.
This paparazzi is quite professional; he doesn't follow Zhou Wenzhe's car too closely, but leaves two or three cars in between.
However, these rudimentary tracking skills were completely useless against Zhou Wenzhe. If he wanted to get rid of them, they would have disappeared without a trace long ago.
So he deliberately drove slowly so that the paparazzi could catch up.
We drove until we reached a gas station.
Zhou Wenzhe drove in and parked to refuel. The van also drove in, but instead of refueling, it went to the convenience store inside the gas station to buy something. The two vehicles were separated by one lane.
At this moment, Zhou Wenzhe saw the paparazzi clearly. He was wearing black-rimmed glasses, had a stubble beard, and looked quite haggard, which was very different from the typical image of a paparazzi.
Alright, now that we know who it is, things will be much easier.
He marked the paparazzi and drove away.
Now is not the right time to resolve this matter; let's wait until we find out where they are.
The paparazzi in the convenience store saw Zhou Wenzhe drive away, so he quickly put down his things, ran out, and got into his car.
But by the time he drove the car out of the gas station, Zhou Wenzhe had already disappeared.
He slammed his fist on the steering wheel in frustration and cursed.
However, being a paparazzi is a job that requires patience, so he was already used to it and was prepared for a long battle. He just felt that he wouldn't get anything today, so he drove back to the company.
. . .
SM Entertainment.
President's office.
After finishing their business, Zhou Wenzhe told Jin Yingmin about what had happened the night before.
After hearing this, Kim Young-min was surprised. He asked with a hint of disbelief, "Director Zhou, are you saying that paparazzi took photos of you and Im Yoon-ah entering and leaving the residential area together last night? Are you sure?"
He hadn't received any news, and this was the first time he'd known that Yoona lived downstairs from him.
"I'm sure, that paparazzi was following my car when I came here today."
"How did you know?"
"It was my intuition; I'd been observing it, and that car had been following me."
"What if it's just a coincidence?"
"I have a very good memory. I saw this car last night, and it's been following me all day. Can that really be considered a coincidence?"
"So... what do you want us to do?"
Kim Young-min is still a bit troubled by this. Although Lim Yoona is now mainly active as an actress, her biggest label is still Girls' Generation's Yoona, and fans continue to oppose her relationship as always.
However, Zhou Wenzhe's status is rather special, so the company still needs to respect his opinion.
"How do you usually handle this situation?"
"First, we need to confirm if the relationship is true. Are Director Zhou and Lin Yoona now boyfriend and girlfriend?" Kim Young-min asked. Actually, he didn't object to Zhou Wenzhe dating female celebrities in the company, but at the very least, he should keep it a secret.
A major shareholder of a company is having an affair with a female celebrity in the company. People who know the situation might think it's a free relationship, but those who don't might think it's some kind of unspoken rule.
It's important to understand that netizens don't care whether it's true or not. Once someone is labeled with the "unspoken rules" label, it's a huge blow to the reputation of both the artist and the company.
If Zhou Wenzhe causes serious consequences for the company, the board of directors can expel him from the board and even forcibly reclaim his shares.
"Not yet." Zhou Wenzhe and Lin Yoona have not confirmed their romantic relationship. Neither of them has made it clear, so they are currently just close friends of the opposite sex.
"I understand. If that's the case, the company can remain silent or deny it, but I think it's better to deny it directly." Kim Young-min breathed a slight sigh of relief.
Sometimes, as long as you don't admit it, there's always room for things to turn around. This is also a standard practice for entertainment companies when dealing with artists' romantic relationships.
They use phrases like "they're just close seniors and juniors" or "this is the artist's private life, and the company was unaware of it."
Unless it's a publicity stunt or the media has solid evidence, they won't admit to a relationship.
However, Zhou Wenzhe is not a celebrity, so the fact that the paparazzi did not come to him proves that there is no substantial evidence. As long as SM Entertainment denies it, this matter can only be considered a rumor at most.
Which popular celebrity doesn't have scandals? Yoona has had countless scandals since her debut.
Once it's been going on for a while, nobody will care anymore.
Celebrities continue their activities as usual, and fans continue to make money.
"Okay, I'm just informing the company to avoid any misunderstandings." Actually, Zhou Wenzhe just wanted to test SM Entertainment's attitude on this matter. Now it seems that his position as a director is quite useful.
"Okay, but I hope Director Zhou can avoid this kind of thing from happening again in the future."
"Don't worry, it won't happen again."
Zhou Wenzhe now knows which media outlet the paparazzi belongs to and where the photos are stored.
Once you know these things, solving the problem becomes much easier.
Moreover, he wants to solve this problem once and for all.
