Rebirth: I Want to Surf

"We are preparing for the show, but not this year, but the year after."

Yu Jiajia smiled and said: "In 2019, we plan to expand to the whole of Asia and have an Asian women's team war. China, Japan, South Korea, Hong Kong, Taiwan, Singapore, Malaysia, Thailand, India, Vietnam... you can come if you want."

“All Asian Girl Group Battle!!!”

Jin Minyong trembled and asked: "In the end, the best team will be selected?"

"There is an audience voting session. It may not necessarily be the best, but it must be the most popular. If the results are good, we can expand it again and accept registrations from all over the world."

"You and Mr. Yao Yuan are really, really..."

Jin Minyong was speechless and could only give a thumbs up. This is exactly the entertainment empire he dreamed of. Alas, it is a pity that Mr. Yao Yuan is not Korean!

"You also know that South Korea is strong in this area, but the quality of Chinese idols is not good. Another purpose of my visit is to see if I can bring back the Chinese members of the girl group."

"That's no problem, I have ready-made information."

"Um?"

"Why do you have information about girl groups?"

"Mr. Yao Yuan promised me that as long as I can control Korean entertainment resources, he will support me unconditionally. I am planning to enter the idol market."

"..."

Yu Jiajia's first reaction was disgust. She looked at the other party. She didn't look amazing. She narrowed her eyes. She didn't know how many girls would fall into the wrong hands.

But to be honest, she feels average about Korean female stars and okay about Japanese female stars.

I heard that Masami Nagasawa was going to film "Asia" and I was already planning to visit the cast. Oh, it would be great if Yui Aragaki, Satomi Ishihara, Keiko Kitagawa, Nozomi Sasaki, and Haruka Ayase were filming together!

Jin Minyong went back first, and not long after, he sent some information for Yu Jiajia to choose from.

There are those who have already debuted and there are also trainees.

South Korea has the largest idol base in the world, with one out of every 25,000 people being an idol. It got boring after a long time, and coupled with the need to expand overseas markets, it attracted many overseas players.

There are Indian and Russian idols in later generations, and there are even black female idols from Senegal, but one can say that one is more beautiful than the other.

The world's three top aesthetics: coconut trees, coal bosses, and Korean chaebols.

Yu Jiajia went through the information all night and selected some people. I won’t mention their names, and no one would know them if they did.

As for this year's "Produce 101", she and Yao Yuan are preparing to compete in the summer. Internal players include Meng Meiqi, Wu Xuanyi, Cheng Xiao, Zhou Jieqiong, and Yang Chaoyue.

Yang Chaoyue had a pretty happy life in SNH48. The relaxed environment suited her very well, but this time she didn’t want to be selected to join the group. She just went up to enjoy the popularity and then went directly to the variety show.

At the same time, she also took a look at the casting of "Asia". The man didn't care, and Jade Finger chose a female star.

Naturally, Jin Minyong will not be disobedient. He just wants to take the opportunity to hype up and improve his status.

…………

It’s quite cold in Seoul in February, with temperatures in the single digits during the day and below zero at night.

In the early morning, Lee Jun-ki came back from running panting and entered his mansion in Gangnam District. Take a rest and prepare today's breakfast by yourself.

Standard meat, egg and milk.

He is 35 years old. In order to maintain his condition, he has not eaten rice or flour for several years and mainly eats tofu instead.

This person was very beautiful when he was young, with a male-female appearance, a fox face, and a pair of fox eyes. His masterpieces include "The King's Man" and "Iljimae", and he is considered a representative of the early Korean wave.

He was a first-line star before, but unfortunately he had to serve in the military during his peak period. After he retired, his popularity was not as good as before, but he still had a certain status.

Military service is a pain for every man in Korea.

Have you not seen the excitement and ecstasy of South Korean male athletes winning gold medals at the Hangzhou Asian Games? This not only represents honor and wealth, but more importantly: Asian Games champions do not have to perform military service!

"elder brother!"

While I was eating, the phone rang. It was my agent.

"Junji, let me tell you some good news. The global box office of "Resident Evil" has exceeded 100 million US dollars!"

"Really? Doesn't that mean we have to get our money back?"

"Yes, so it must be profitable. The North American audience survey also gave you a good impression. This time we succeeded. Hollywood film dates are flying like snowflakes."

This refers to the movie "Resident Evil: The Final Chapter", starring Milla Jovovich, in which Lee Jun-ki plays the role of a commander, and there are many action scenes.

"Brother, stop joking, how can Hollywood be so easy?"

"You have to have confidence! Although there is no Hollywood now, there is another role that you need to fight for."

"What?"

"Asia!"

Li Junji was shocked.

There has been a lot of news about "Asia" recently, because it is a spin-off of "Train to Busan". It goes without saying that "Train to Busan" is very popular.

And it costs, $20 million per episode!

This group of people has been frightened.

What concept?

"Descendants of the Sun" has 16 episodes with a total cost of 13 billion won, approximately 68.69 million yuan. This is already a top-level Korean drama production. The TV station alone cannot support it, but the TV station makes money from overseas copyrights.

The show was exported to China, and the price per episode was 1.5 million yuan. So why are they crying? They really lost their largest export market.

The total cost of "Asia" is US$160 million, which is one-sixth of the size of the Korean film market. Practitioners went crazy, and all actors who could be identified as male or female signed up for auditions.

"Brother, I'm afraid I can't win!"

"I've already contacted you. I'm going to audition tomorrow. I have to give it a try."

"But I heard that senior Zheng Yusheng has higher hopes?"

"I also heard that Li Bingxian has already captured it! Don't believe this, just be prepared."

Jung Woo Sung is the male protagonist in "Sword Rain".

Lee Byung-hun, one of the four kings of Hallyu, once had a girlfriend named Song Hye-kyo. It is said that she had anal prolapse...

…………

The next day arrived in the blink of an eye.

Accompanied by his manager, Lee Jun-ki arrived at Hugelive's Korean headquarters. When he entered, he only got a page of lines. He couldn't go up because there were too many people, all of whom came to audition.

He saw with his own eyes many famous celebrities.

It felt like I had to wait for a long time before Lee Jun-ki was called in.

When I walked in, I saw Yeon Sang-ho, the director of "Train to Busan" sitting in the middle. He was also the main director of "Asia". He had made a sequel to "Train to Busan" in history, but the quality was not very good. It can be seen that he was using IP to make money. Pens, and the sense of cheapness that can be saved if the budget is not enough...

But he is still capable. "Asia" has a polished script and a sufficient budget, and the situation is completely different.

"It's time to begin!"

There were no twists and turns, Lee Jun-ki acted according to the lines.

"I heard that you have practiced Taekwondo and Aikido?"

"Yes!"

"Have you learned anything else?"

"Due to the requirements of filming, I also learned some Brazilian jiu-jitsu, boxing, and parkour."

"Okay, thank you for coming to the audition today, we will let you know as soon as possible!"

With such polite words, Lee Jun-ki felt that he had no chance, so he went out to find his agent. The agent was busy making phone calls, and then hung up with a look of horror on his face.

"Do you know how much they offered Jung Woo-sung? 100 million won per episode!"

"100 million won?"

Lee Jun-ki was also shocked: "Has the role been confirmed?"

"No, no, it's just that there are rumors of an intention and an approximate salary, Ah Xi! That guy Zheng Yusheng can have 100 million, isn't their money money?"

100 million won, approximately equal to 500,000 yuan.

(besides……)
