Chapter 95: Confrontation

"MBC Broadcasting Building?"
Cui Hanmin stopped the car, "Let's go, Hye Bin is already waiting for you."
Luo Junning came to see Cui Hanmin today, thinking that this barrister should know some private investigators, and then find a reliable reporter to find out which journalist has been staring at him as an ordinary person, but Cui Hanmin brought him directly. With MBC, this caused a trace of anger in his heart.
"Lawyer Cui, and Junning, you are all rare customers on my side. Especially Junning, this is the second time to come to me after the Spring Festival, right?" Yin Huibin greeted enthusiastically, just like with Luo Junning. There is no gap at all.
Luo Junning glanced at Cui Hanmin, and questioned him impulsively. After all, he still didn't know the situation.
Cui Hanmin smiled and said, "Director Yoon, I'm here on behalf of Unlimited Production Company to inquire about the frequent scandals of the production department director of our company. I hope that Minister Yin knows what he can tell us."
Ok?
Luo Junning looked at Cui Hanmin in surprise. It is understandable for this brother and Yin Huibin to call each other by their job titles during working hours, but how to use such a formal tone of negotiation now? Are these two lovers not lovers?
To Luo Junning's surprise, Yin Huibin also explained the recent situation in a fairly formal negotiation tone.
It turned out that from the second day after the broadcast of "Gong", someone was staring at Luo Junning, including him and Yoon Eun-hye, and Kim Tae-yeon, as well as some photos just released. They were all taken by MBC reporters, except for "Gong". 》In addition to attracting more attention, it is also to pave the way for some future plans. There are more interesting photos in the hands of Yan Junkui who implements this plan. These photos are not released only after considering the maximization of benefits. But if there is no external interference, these interesting photos will be circulated on the day of the "Palace" broadcast next week, attracting more attention to "Palace".
Yin Huibin looked at Luo Junning and warned: "Junning, you have always been a member of our variety department. No matter what misunderstandings you have had before, I don't want you to be affected too much. Sometimes, being tough is not the best choice. The most important thing in this era is interest. As long as there is interest, even a former enemy can become the most solid ally. MBC has a complicated background, but the most important thing is still interest. As long as enough interest is given, it will forget some unpleasantness. It will also give you very generous rewards."
It seems that MBC knew it was behind the scenes last time.
Luo Junning laughed at himself. He thought it was hidden deep, but he didn’t expect to be discovered in less than two months. If it weren’t for "Gong"’s viewership rating, there is hope of breaking through the national level. Send myself a bunch of scandals.
After leaving Yin Huibin’s office, Luo Junning was a little tired. He just didn’t want to bother about these messy things and didn’t want to take over his own company. But now, no matter where it is, these awful things cannot be avoided. "Brother Hanmin, you Did you know it very early? If I didn't come to you today, would you still take me to see Minister Yin?"
Cui Hanmin shook his head, "Junning, I only knew about this."
"Understood, Brother Han Min, you go back first, I'll go see Minister Yan." Luo Junning sighed and turned to leave.
Cui Hanmin suddenly regretted it, as if he couldn't convince Luo Junning even if he told the truth now, this was not good news. After thinking for a while, Cui Hanmin called Cui Hancheng, "Have you negotiated with CJ?...Okay, send the information to MBC right away, and I and Junning will use it."
In the office of the director of the TV drama department, Yan Junkui greeted Luo Junning very warmly when he saw Luo Junning coming in, "Junning is here, sit down and sit down. What to drink, tea or coffee?"
"Coffee, thank you Minister Yan." Although Luo Junning hates this kind of social communication, he has to do it.
"Okay." Yan Junkui said enthusiastically after asking the assistant to serve the coffee, "Look at you, you have to be busy with "Gong", you have to prepare for infinite challenges, and you have to go to school. I should see you. After all You are the treasure of the company now, haha!"
Luo Junning felt tired for a while. This kind of person who stabbed a knife in front of his back but could greet him enthusiastically like an old friend really made him unbearable, so he didn't go around the circle and said directly: "Minister Yan knows about my recent scandal, right? I think Ask Minister Yan for help and help clarify."
Yan Junkui shook his head with a smile, "It seems Junning, you have met Minister Yin, but it's too much to say clarification. After all, these photos are real, there is no fraud, and the media reports are also very fair. The report did not add too much subjective emotion. The most important thing is that these scandals can contribute to the ratings of "The Palace." Junning, you have to know that there are no big-name artists in "The Palace", and no one in the entire crew can match You are a well-known screenwriter throughout Korea. For the performance of "Gong", shouldn't you make some sacrifices?"
"I have no opinion on this. But Minister Yan, do you think that if a TV series is produced by a notorious person, even if it is of good quality, how many viewers will it attract? Everyone knows the potential of "The Palace". In addition to the current situation in South Korea, as long as there are no major problems with the Korean royal family, "Palace" is almost certainly a national TV series. However, if my reputation as a screenwriter is too bad, it may even be a big hit. To the point of spurning, Minister Yan, what kind of attitude would the directors of MBC have when they saw a national TV series aborted like this? Minister Yan dominated all this. Who do you think will be the final punishment?"
Luo Junning spoke slowly, word by word, his voice was not high, but Yan Junkui's brows frowned and tightened.
"Are you threatening me?"
"I'm just analyzing a fact. Everything is too late. I think it is necessary to attract attention. One or two negative news such as scandals is enough. Only positive attention can attract more people's attention. Minister Yan, what do you say What?"
Yan Junkui took a deep look at Luo Junning, and said solemnly: "Positive attention? Did Luo screenwriter draw any popular comics?"
Luo Junning didn’t pay attention to Yan Junkui’s mocking tone, because he could hear that Minister Yan Junkui had already subdued. Just when he was about to put out a bargaining chip he had prepared, Cui Hancheng and Cui Hanmin walked in, "Director Yan, my company’s Minister Luo Junning wrote three songs not long ago, and has already reached an agreement with Synnara.Music, and will appear in the third solo album of artist Jin Zhongguo soon, and one of the songs will be the title song. Is it positive enough? Synnara.Music will also make publicity at that time, and the CJ Group behind Synnara.Music will also provide corresponding support. What does Minister Yan think of this news?"
CJ Group is definitely one of the top big groups in South Korea. If CJ is involved, MBC must also be treated with caution.
Yan Junkui was silent for a moment. He knew that Cui Hanmin would not lie, but he didn't know the attitude of CJ Group in this matter. He could only say: "I need to report this matter."
Luo Junning nodded and said: "Minister Yan, I hope you understand that since I can produce a "Gong", there will be no shortage of the second one, but who is the second one? Whoever gives high conditions, SBS and KBS should be very interested in high-quality TV series."
Yan Junkui said sharply: "Are you threatening MBC?"
"I'm just stating the facts. You must know that I am not a writer of MBC." Luo Junning is not even interested in seeing Yan Junkui. It is not that he dare not, but this level of pressure makes him completely uninterested. Very disgusted with this exhausting confrontation.
Yan Junkui looked at Luo Junning earnestly, without the contempt of seeing the second generation ancestor in his eyes, and said solemnly: "I will react to it."
