Chapter 1528 The Conquest Plan (Part 2)
Seeing that Ye Zhi Qiu was getting anxious, Jin Mei Ying had no choice but to put away her smile, shrug her shoulders, and say innocently.
"If it's not possible, it's not possible. It's just a request between friends, why get angry?"
Ye Zhi Qiu said irritably, "Would normal friends in Korea act like this?"
"No, I won't." Kim Mi-young smiled, showing no embarrassment whatsoever.
"However, I think we can develop into an unconventional friendship."
For someone of Kim Mi-young's status, she has seen countless more sordid and absurd things, and ordinary people's morals and sense of shame cannot restrain her.
"..." Ye Zhi Qiu was amused by this woman's thought process. Too lazy to waste words with her, he said directly, "Stop wasting time and get down to business."
"You want a new script, right? What are your requirements?"
Seeing that Ye Zhi Qiu abruptly ended the conversation, Jin Mei Ying still looked somewhat regretful and asked another question, unwilling to give up.
"Really not even considering it?"
Ye Zhi Qiu sighed and waved his hand.
When it came to serious matters, Kim Mi-young's expression turned serious, switching back to her image as a powerful and ruthless chaebol businesswoman in a high position.
"I need a script that can guarantee success, one that is on par with 'The Host' in terms of quality, critical acclaim, and box office performance!"
Kim Mi-young immediately made an outrageous demand, prompting Ye Zhi Qiu to raise an eyebrow.
"You think box office records belong to us, that we can just break them whenever we want?"
Kim Mi-young knew her request was a bit excessive, so she compromised and said, "Then at least the box office in North America can't be lower than that of 'The Host'."
Currently, "The Host" ranks among the top three highest-grossing films in South Korean film history. More importantly, it was also a huge success in North America after being imported by Warner Bros., grossing over $1300 million.
In fact, for Kim Mi-young, the North American box office performance of "The Host" was even more significant than breaking the domestic box office record.
Ye Zhi Qiu still looked troubled and said, "It's not that simple."
"That's Hollywood, the single market with the highest concentration of film talent and the most intense competition in the world."
"So...we have to pay more."
Kim Mi-young thought Ye Zhi-qiu's first half of the sentence made a lot of sense, but when he followed it up with "you have to pay more," Kim Mi-young's mind went blank for two seconds, and she couldn't process it for a moment.
After realizing what was happening, Kim Mi-young discovered that all the difficulties the man in front of her had mentioned were lies; he was clearly confident of success.
Kim Mi-young looked resentful and said, "Ji-Chi oppa, your screenwriting fee is already the highest in all of Korea."
"Can we maintain the revenue sharing ratio for 'The Host'? If it's any higher, I won't be able to explain it to the group company."
"Film is now the key business of the entire SG Group. Although I am the president of SG Entertainment, I cannot do whatever I want."
Ye Zhi Qiu suddenly asked, "Do you have any TV drama business?"
Kim Mi-young was taken aback and subconsciously replied, "Almost none, what's wrong?"
Compared to movies, Korean dramas are a field that relies heavily on excellent screenwriters; screenwriters are a core resource that is far more important than actors and directors.
SG Entertainment has a relatively weak foundation in the film and television industry, so it has not ventured into the television drama sector.
Ye Zhi Qiu smiled and said, "How about we collaborate and jointly fund a TV series, with me taking the lead and serving as the screenwriter, while you are responsible for filming and production?"
