Chapter 112: Loving fathers and many defeated daughters
Since the end of the last century, South Korea has elevated the development of cultural industries to a national strategy, gradually relaxed the process of policy control, and encouraged private capital and enterprises to develop cultural industries. Korean waves have emerged as a result and gradually influenced Asian countries.
Although he is not a professional entertainment person, Han Ankang understands very well that South Korea attaches great importance to the cultural industry. This is also why a cultural minister has extraordinary political status in South Korea.
Unlike traditional industries, the cultural and entertainment industry is often affected by the macroeconomic situation in the entire world. In addition to bringing huge economic benefits, the cultural industry will also bring huge employment opportunities.
At the same time, it can also enhance the pride of the people, expand the country's international influence, and enhance a country's image and soft power. This is undoubtedly extremely precious to the South Koreans who lack self-confidence.
Han Ankang believes that the minister in front of him knows the best of these benefits, so the ban he proposed will give him the most direct warning of these South Korean entertainment elites present.
Looking at the look of everyone's surprise, Han Ankang said calmly: "All the entertainment elites in South Korea are here, and Minister Jiang is the helmsman of the relevant cultural industry. You should understand China's control methods in this regard.
Although I can't do it and prevent all South Korean cultural industries from importing into China, I can say hello to the higher authorities and increase some regulatory review. I believe there is still no problem. What will happen if that happens?
Since you can, you will do something to ban a Chinese artist because he refuses to accompany him. Then I can do it too. With my own abilities and influence, South Korea will hit a wall everywhere in China, across the Taiwan Strait and the Three Places. I wonder, what are you trusting?"
Listening to Han Ankang's statement, Kim Taeyeon and others who were on the board of directors suddenly felt that Han Ankang had a domineering aura that they rarely saw. The tone of banning a country's cultural output is really not ordinary arrogance!
But thinking about Han Ankang's current ability, he is really possible to do these things. Not to mention that he also has extremely high connections in the Chinese entertainment industry, but only his relationship with senior management. The senior management believes that he is willing to do something.
China has been doing well in restricting cultural input. Now Korean waves have swept Asia and have also had a certain impact on the cultural industries of other countries.
If China introduces relevant control policies, people related to China's cultural industry will definitely agree. But for South Korea, if China loses the market, what will the result look like?
Faced with such a fatal threat, Jiang Zhibai could only smile bitterly and said, "Mr. Han, I know your ability. I also know that you are very angry about the ban of this artist. But I still hope that this matter will not affect the cultural exchanges between the two countries."
When he heard his answer, Han Ankang sneered and said, "The cultural exchanges between the two countries sound nice. But what am I seeing now? In this matter, SM Company has already had a precedent, and I didn't speak much at that time.
Han Geng, the former SJ combination, terminated the contract, and it was a sensation. Now Zhang Liyi is banned. What mistake did she make? She has to bear such unfair treatment? It is said that Director Li valued her voice very much back then.
Even if I was not wrong in the investigation, she was an artist whom your company took the initiative to discover from other companies. But what have you done to her now? Just because she is an artist, she must agree to the shareholders' threat to go and drink with her. What is the reason?
Director Li, when I contacted SM Company, I warned you. I don’t care about other artists, but the artists I support must prevent such incidents. This is a Chinese artist, how did you do it?
While agreeing, he played small moves with me privately, thinking that I was so teasing or something. If this kind of thing is spread to China, what kind of reaction do you think will trigger?”
Zhang Liyi, who has always felt very wronged, listened to Han Ankang defending her as a Chinese. She also felt that the grievances during this period were poured out suddenly, and she didn't want to shed tears but couldn't stop them at all.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Mingbai took a deep breath and said, "Director Li, what's going on with this artist? The Ministry of Culture has ordered and tried every three times. Do you need to give some special care when treating foreign trainees?"
Li Xiuman looked at Jiang Zhibai and pointed his finger at him, but didn't say anything, but moved his eyes to his daughter. This action made Jiang Zhibai realize immediately, and the shareholder who banned this female artist was afraid that he would be his daughter again.
After a brief cold incident, Jiang Zhibai took a deep breath and said, "Jiang Liying, stand up and talk about this."
Facing her father's shouting to her name, she finally realized that the matter was getting worse, and stood up in panic and said, "Actually, I didn't want her to do anything, I just wanted her to attend a cocktail party with me and have a drink with some of my friends!"
This kind of thing is not common in the South Korean entertainment industry. This kind of drinking can only be said to be a very common thing. Kang Liying has also seen a lot of things that are more difficult for female artists to accept than this.
Regarding her answer, Jiang Zhibai was so angry that he cursed directly: "Bastard, who gave you the right to take artists out for drinks privately. Don't you know the seriousness of this kind of thing?"
Jiang Liying, who was scolded again, knew that she would make many mistakes and could only lower her head again and wait for her to fall. Anyway, she already knew that from today's incident, her free life would probably end.
Looking at Jiang Liying's silence, Jiang Zhibai's face turned pale, and the other shareholders were watching on the wall. Zhang Liyi, who was the client, suddenly said, "Mr. Han, thank you for your help, let's forget about this!"
After hearing her say this, Jiang Liying was also very surprised, but Han Ankang frowned and said, "Are you sure, let it go? Don't worry, if I interfere in this matter, no one dares to do anything to you."
Facing Han Ankang thinking she was timid, Zhang Liyi said helplessly: "Mr. Han, I know your kindness. But I have seen a lot of such things in South Korea over the years. I am very glad!
Director Jiang, although he made a ban on me, he did not continue to retaliate. At least during my time in the company, I can still receive basic living expenses every month. This kind of thing is actually not a rare thing in the entertainment industry."
As an artist, Zhang Liyi didn’t know about the entertainment industry, such a dirty thing as drinking, or even more dirty thing? But she has her own limitations and doesn’t want to detract from her dignity just to become famous or anything.
In order to preserve her dignity, it is normal to lose something. Even if she feels wronged, what can she do as an artist in this entertainment industry? This is also something she has slowly figured out during the ban.
At this time, I don’t know if it was because of my conscience or I was really afraid. Jiang Liying suddenly walked out of her seat and bent down sincerely and said, “Li Yi, I’m sorry! I will make reasonable compensation for the harm and impact caused to you, please forgive me!”
Seeing this scene, Jiang Zhibai suddenly felt that it was worth losing face here today. This was the first time he saw his daughter apologizing to someone. This meant that what happened today really made her begin to understand how to reflect.
Looking at the shareholder Jiang who bent down to salute her, Zhang Liyi also felt indescribable. But she knew that she had been persistent for this period of time. For the sake of noble dignity, she finally got the apology she deserved.
At this time, Jiang Zhibai also quickly stood up and bent down and said, "Ms. Zhang Liyi, as the Minister of Culture of South Korea, I sincerely apologize for your grievances.
As her father, I am extremely sorry for my daughter's troubles. If you have any other requirements, you can just make it. As long as it does not violate my principles, I will try my best to satisfy it!"
The father and daughter's apology really made Zhang Liyi a little flattered. However, the other senior executives of SM companies sitting on the chair felt a little bitter. Faced with this scene, they really didn't know what to say.
Zhang Liyi politely said to Jiang Zhibai's apology: "Minister Jiang, actually I don't want much. What I want is nothing more than a fair environment, and this belated apology. I don't want anything else, it's enough for these!"
Han Ankang couldn't help but nodded with appreciation. He naturally admired this girl who could stick to her limits. And the matter about her was also ended with the apology.
Perhaps it was Jiang Zhibai's performance that calmed Han Ankang's anger a little, and Zhang Liyi's persistence made him feel very satisfied. The anger in his heart undoubtedly calmed down a lot.
Looking at the expectant eyes of the father and daughter, Han Ankang quickly said: "Minister Jiang, I think your daughter is no longer suitable to appear here. Moreover, as a minister, you should also avoid some things. Do you think what I said is reasonable?"
Jiang Zhibai quickly said: "Please rest assured Mr. Han. This incident made me truly know that she has today's personality, and I was all pampered by me. This kind of pampering has hurt her. So, I plan to let her go abroad to study!
I will return the SM shares in her hands to SM Company. Please rest assured that I will not accommodate anyone because of this. She took all this from her own fault, and the responsibility lies with me, my father."
This is very skillful, but Han Ankang just nodded slightly and said, "Miss Jiang, you should be glad that you have a father who truly knows how to care for you. Otherwise, your affairs will never be solved easily today.
When I leave the company, I want to see one thing. That is, you must apologize to the artists you have hurt before leaving SM and obtain their understanding to leave. Can you do this?"
