"So what are your conditions?"

Faced with Ye Zhiqiu's words, Jin Meiying stopped pretending and asked directly.

Ye Zhiqiu said: "Two conditions."

"First, I want a higher percentage of the box office share than CJ Entertainment."

"No!" Jin Meiying refused almost subconsciously, "You can increase the screenwriter's remuneration, but the share ratio cannot be increased any further."

Ye Zhiqiu shrugged and said, "It seems there is no need to talk further."

Jin Meiying's eyes flashed with annoyance, she took a deep breath, and said, "Zhiqiu Oppa, this is already the highest level of treatment for a Korean screenwriter..."

Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and said, "I want to be taller than the tallest."

"For a screenwriter who just set a record, it's not too much, right? To be honest, SG Entertainment is not the only one who wants to contact me now. I believe someone will agree to this condition."

"......" Jin Meiying gritted her teeth, she knew that Ye Zhiqiu was telling the truth.

From "Miss Granny" to "Secret and Great", Ye Zhiqiu has fully proved the fact that his works are a guarantee of box office success.

"Okay!" Jin Meiying agreed, gritting her teeth. "I'll have someone draft a contract and sign it as soon as possible!"

"Don't be impatient." Ye Zhiqiu said calmly, "There is a second condition. It won't be too late for President Jin to make a decision after hearing it."

"What conditions?" Jin Meiying asked warily, worried that Ye Zhiqiu would make another excessive demand.

However, she was destined to be disappointed.

Ye Zhiqiu continued, "The male lead of this play is designated by me, and we need to use an actor from the Yi Ye Zhi Qiu studio."

"Impossible!" Almost as soon as she finished speaking, Kim Mi-young slammed the table and stood up, saying angrily.

"Ye Zhiqiu, don't go too far!"

"Is that too much?" Ye Zhiqiu ignored her excited expression and said calmly, "I'm the screenwriter. Logically, I have the right to recommend actors, right?"

"But not a Chinese actor!" Jin Meiying said decisively.

Ye Zhiqiu shrugged, "Then it seems there is no need to talk further."

Jin Meiying looked at his expression, her face changed several times, and finally she sighed and said, "Zhiqiu Oppa, this condition is really not acceptable."

"This is a film led by SG Entertainment, and it's mainly aimed at the Korean market. If a Chinese actor is used as the male lead, will it have an impact on the box office? How can I explain this to the group company?"

Ye Zhiqiu was unmoved and said, "What if this film is co-produced?"

Jin Meiying was stunned and asked subconsciously: "What do you mean?"

Ye Zhiqiu explained: "The male lead will be a Chinese actor, and the female lead will be a Korean actor. At the same time, I can solve the problem of distributing the film in China, and the two countries will release it simultaneously."

I have to admit that Kim Mi-young was a little moved by what he said.

Yes, although using an unfamiliar Chinese actor as the male lead may have an impact on the Korean box office, from another perspective, it also caters to the tastes of Chinese audiences.

The size of the Chinese film market is not comparable to that of South Korea...

If we do it in a co-production between the two countries, maybe it will work.

In fact, there have been precedents for "co-productions between the two countries" before, but most of the box office results were not outstanding, so she didn't think of it at the time.

"But..." Jin Meiying was still a little hesitant. She always felt that she had spent money and effort, but ended up supporting Ye Zhiqiu.

"No, the risk is too great." Jin Meiying was still sober. She knew what she wanted and was not dazzled by Ye Zhiqiu's promise.

"The performance of the next film is very important to me. I would rather maintain the box office in Korea than take this risk."

At this time, Ye Zhiqiu said lightly.

"What if I write another script for you and guarantee that the box office performance will not be bad?"

"How can you guarantee..." Jin Meiying said subconsciously, and then suddenly reacted.

"Have you already written the new script in advance?"

Ye Zhiqiu shook his head and said, "It's in my head. I can write it down anytime."

Kim Mi-young asked, "How do these two scripts compare to 'Secretly Great'?"

Ye Zhiqiu smiled and said confidently, "Better."

"Besides, the second female lead can be played by Ji-soo, which is quite suitable."

Since the two began their negotiation, Han Zhixiu, who had been sitting quietly by the side, suddenly raised her head and looked at Ye Zhiqiu with surprise, her heart deeply moved.

On the side, Kim Mi-young's eyes flickered wildly and she was struggling with her conscience.

"Then..." She tried, "I just want the second script, is that okay?"

Unexpectedly, Ye Zhiqiu thought about it for a few seconds and agreed readily.

"also."

This made it difficult for Jin Meiying to deal with it, but Ye Zhiqiu's next words made her face freeze.

"I thought about it, and the same thing will happen with another film I'm working on with CJ Entertainment."

"......" Jin Meiying's face darkened.

Ye Zhiqiu is not her man, so of course he has the right to continue cooperating with CJ Entertainment, but if he makes another movie that surpasses her, that would be funny...

After struggling for a while, Jin Meiying gritted her teeth hatefully, as if she had made some kind of decision.

"Sure! I want both scripts!"

"But I have a condition. I need to read the outline first!"

As if he had already expected Jin Meiying to say this, Ye Zhiqiu agreed without much thought.

"can."

After initially finalizing the cooperation intention with SG Entertainment, Ye Zhiqiu continued to devote himself to the filming of "The Wandering Earth" and also found time to write two scripts.

The two scripts are "My Sassy Girl" and "Half a Century of Promise".

In the past, these two films could be considered representative works of Korean films.

"My Sassy Girl" is a romantic comedy. Its popularity at the time could be described as "phenomenal". It set off a "savage trend" across Asia and even influenced the views on love of a generation of young people in the early 21st century.

This film's unique perspective on love and narrative style perfectly interpret the word "love", and the story is not outdated even today.

Another work, "Half a Century of Promise", was better known in the past by another name - "International Market".

This work about family, love and kinship is easily overlooked due to its inconspicuous title, but it is actually a rare masterpiece.

At the same time, it is also extremely tear-jerking.

For this film, Ye Zhiqiu planned to have actor Huang Zhengmin from his own "Yi Ye Zhi Qiu" studio play the male lead.

In "The Wandering Earth", he did not give the role of "Liu Peiqiang" to Huang Zhengmin because he felt it was not suitable.

It is no exaggeration to say that the role of the male protagonist in "Half a Century of Promise" was tailor-made for Hwang Jung-min.

As a good boss, how could he not prioritize his employees?
