In the conference room, everyone looked towards the source of the voice and found that it was Kim Jun-hyun, the screenwriter who had just signed with SG Entertainment.

Jin Meiying's eyes flickered slightly, and she said, "Writer Jin, please tell me your opinion."

"Yes, President Jin." Under the gaze of everyone, Jin Junxuan's face was calm. He looked at Ye Zhiqiu and said, "Mr. Ye, this is a very good story. The framework is complete and it has good creativity."

"But," Kim Jun-hyun said, his tone changing. He tapped the script on the table with his fingers and said, "Perhaps Mr. Ye doesn't understand Korea and SG Entertainment well enough, and he made a common sense mistake in the story."

After the words fell, everyone was stunned and looked puzzled. Ye Zhiqiu's expression remained calm and he raised his hand to signal the other party to continue.

A cold look flashed across Jin Junxuan's eyes as he said, "At the beginning of the story, it says that the monster was formed due to the US military's careless discharge of wastewater from the morgue into the Han River, causing biological mutations."

“There’s a strong sense of direction and criticism here. I understand your desire to add depth to your work in this way, but it’s too clumsy and obvious.”

"Perhaps Mr. Ye doesn't know that SG Entertainment is part of SG Group, and one of SG Group's major shareholders has American capital background."

"Do you think a plot that clearly smears the US military would be acceptable within the SG Group?"

At this point, everyone understood what Kim Jun-hyun wanted to express. However, even the people from SG Entertainment did not seem to agree with his point of view.

Ye Zhiqiu did not directly answer Jin Junxuan's question, but looked at Jin Meiying, smiled and said: "President Jin, it seems that I have indeed overlooked this question."

"How about I change the plot here?"

Jin Meiying seemed to see through Ye Zhiqiu's duplicity, rolled her eyes at him, and said with a smile: "No need, Zhiqiu Oppa."

"Writer Jin is considering the company, and his suggestions are very good. But since you're not an SG Group employee, it's normal that you don't understand. The plot is designed as it is, and there's no need to change it."

"President Jin!" Looking at the interaction between Ye Zhiqiu and Jin Meiying, the ignored Jin Junxuan felt humiliated and stood up suddenly.

Jin Junxuan's sudden action startled everyone present, and their eyes returned to him again.

On the side, director Park Jung-hyun tried hard to wink at him, and even pulled his hand hard from the audience, signaling him not to continue.

Jin Junxuan glanced at Han Zhixiu, who looked nervous, and then looked at Ye Zhiqiu's face, which seemed to have everything under control and was not panicked at all, and a nameless anger rose in his heart.

"President Jin, I'm sorry for the offense," Jin Junxuan said in a deep voice, "but as a member of the company, I need to raise the issue."

After that, Jin Junxuan looked at Ye Zhiqiu and asked, "If Mr. Ye thinks this plot is okay, OK, I'll just ask one question."

"If the film is broadcast as it is, arbitrarily smearing and offending the US stationed in South Korea, thus causing a diplomatic incident, who will bear the responsibility?!"

After these words were spoken, everyone present looked unhappy.

Some problems change their nature once they are taken to a higher level.

Ye Zhiqiu was also a little annoyed by this screenwriter who appeared out of nowhere. He said, "Many Korean film and television companies have chaebol capital behind them, but films criticizing the various dark sides of chaebols are one of the most popular themes."

"The chaebol spent their own money to make a video criticizing themselves. Have you ever thought about why?"

"That's different!" Jin Junxuan sneered and said, "This matter involves diplomatic issues, so we must be cautious!"

Jin Junxuan thought he had found a "weakness" to attack Ye Zhiqiu, and he kept holding on to this topic.

Little did he know that everyone at SG Entertainment had strange expressions on their faces. Park Jung-hyun, who had just wanted to persuade him, rubbed his temples with an expression that said he had given up and let him do whatever he wanted. Kim Mi-young also put away the smile on her face and looked a little impatient.

Ye Zhiqiu sighed and suddenly asked, "Writer Jin, did you grow up in Korea?"

Facing Ye Zhiqiu's irrelevant question, Jin Junxuan frowned and said coldly: "No, my parents are Korean. I have lived in the United States since I was a child. I am currently an American citizen. I also got my university degree in the United States!"

"No wonder." Ye Zhiqiu nodded and said, "So, screenwriter Jin doesn't know much about Korean history."

Jin Junxuan's expression turned cold, as if he had been stabbed in a sore spot, and he said irritably: "Mr. Ye, we are discussing the script issue now, please don't talk about irrelevant things."

Ye Zhiqiu had no interest in arguing with such a brainless person and said directly, "First of all, this is not a smear campaign. It's based on real events. If screenwriter Jin doesn't understand this period of history, he can go back and read more books."

"Secondly, this is just a movie. You don't have to make such a big deal out of it. There are so many stand-up comedians in the US who criticize the government and the president all day long, and the audiences just applaud and nothing happens."

"Other Americans aren't anxious, but you are. Oh no, I forgot you're American too."

"Third, this is a film primarily aimed at the Korean domestic market and audience. What the general audience thinks and what they like to watch is what is most important."

Ye Zhiqiu's words made Jin Junxuan's face turn pale.

What Ye Zhiqiu said is actually correct. There are so many film, television and literary works criticizing the US government, but the people who enjoy doing this the most are the Americans themselves.

This is a trend. In many TV programs, even if you praise National Chengchi University and don't criticize it at all, it seems a bit "politically incorrect".

For local Korean audiences, there is no problem at all. The dumping incident that year had already caused violent protests. This plot can "take advantage" of the public sentiment and may even bring the film's box office to a higher level.

This move is really amazing.

Obviously, Kim Mi-young also realized this and was extremely satisfied with the plot design.

But Jin Junxuan was on her side after all, so she couldn't criticize him too much. She said, "Writer Jin, let's leave it at that."

"There's nothing wrong with this plot, no need to explain."

Jin Junxuan still tried to make a final struggle, "President Jin, be careful!"

"Let's not talk about anything else. What if this film raises questions about the quality of the Han River water?"

"It could even affect the fishery development of the entire Han River and have a very negative impact on SG Entertainment public opinion. We must take it seriously!"

After being opposed again and again, Kim Mi-young became impatient with this screenwriter who was hired for a large sum of money and had high hopes for her, and she spoke directly in a cold voice.

"Idiot, shut up!"

Kim Junxuan's face turned pale and he wanted to say something, but when he saw Kim Miyoung's gloomy face, he opened his mouth and dared not say anything.

On the side, Ye Zhiqiu watched this scene calmly.

In fact, he felt that screenwriter Jin was also crazy. It was a good thing to trigger public discussion on the environmental protection and water quality of the Han River. This was the "broken window effect" and might even attract greater attention from the society, which was a good deed.

Not only is it not a bad thing, Kim Mi-young might even be hoping for this to happen.

As for whether it will cause public concern and affect the fishing industry, or whether it will offend the US...

Ye Zhiqiu thought about this.

None of my business!
