Entertainment: Since 1990

Chapter 335 The boss's judgment isn't that great either.
"Ms. Song Hye-kyo, act wild."

The first actress to audition was Song Hye-kyo, and all the actresses who were able to participate in the audition had been selected by Cao Jian.

Those with mediocre qualifications, and those I've never even heard of, have already been eliminated.

At this time, Song Hye-kyo's face was full of collagen, and she still looked a bit immature. She was not as radiant as she would be a few years later, but she was still considered a beauty among beauties.

"it is good."

Upon hearing the test question, Song Hye-kyo paused for a moment, then made a fierce face: "Damn it, where did you go last night?"

As he spoke, he slapped the air in the face while cursing, "If you're smart, you'll confess honestly!"

The action and lines were fine, it's just that Song Hye-kyo has a sweet appearance; she doesn't look fierce at all, and she's even a little cute.

"No, no, it's too soft."

Cao Jian took a liking to someone, but didn't participate in this scene.

"Mr. Cao, I wasn't quite ready just now, let me try again."

Song Hye-kyo had acted in several dramas before, all of which were supporting roles.

There is a serious hierarchy of contempt in the South Korean entertainment industry.

Movie stars look down on TV stars, film and television stars look down on singers, and singers look down on idols.

This time, Mr. Cao is making a movie. If he can seize this opportunity, his status in the entertainment industry will also improve.

"no need."

Cao Jian stopped her, and just as Song Hye-kyo was feeling disappointed, she heard the Chinese man say, "However, you are good-looking and have good acting skills, but your appearance is not suitable for this role. Our company is going to film a TV series soon, and I think you are very suitable for the female lead."

"Heroine?"

Song Hye-kyo was taken aback and looked at Cao Jian with surprise.

Cao Jian said, "That's right, it's the female lead. If you have time today, we can discuss it in detail."

In the entertainment industry, having a detailed discussion with an actress can have many meanings.

Some discussions were genuine and detailed, while others were hinting at unspoken rules.

Investors invest in film and television dramas not just to make money.

Song Hye-kyo certainly understands this.

Fortunately, this Mr. Cao is young, handsome, and famous, so even if he were to be sexually exploited, it seems like he wouldn't suffer any loss.

She immediately bowed and said, "I have time, and I hope Mr. Cao can give me more guidance."

"Then you go first."

Cao Jian is very satisfied with the actresses who have found their footing.

Song Hye-kyo is a future superstar in the Korean entertainment industry. It would be quite enjoyable to have a fling with her.

The next one to appear was Kim Hee-sun, who was only 22 years old and had just become popular.

At this time, Kim Hee-sun had gained some fame in the Korean entertainment industry, but she had not yet reached the level of being a superstar.

During the audition, she tried her best to be "wild," but because she was too beautiful, she couldn't be wild at all.

"Ms. Jin, this film isn't suitable for you, but I've invested in a movie in Hong Kong, a collaboration with Jackie Chan. Would you be interested in giving it a try?"

"Jackie Chan?"

Jackie Chan's global influence is unparalleled among Chinese people.

Upon hearing that she could collaborate with someone like that, Kim Hee-sun had no reason to hesitate and immediately replied, "I'm interested."

"Okay, I'll call you when I have time and we can talk about it in detail."

"Thank you, Mr. Cao, for giving me this opportunity."

Kim Hee-sun has decided that even if she has to be subjected to unspoken rules, she will seize this opportunity.

Next up is Choo Ja-hyun.

"Hello, senior. My name is Choo Ja-hyun. I am 20 years old and currently studying in the Department of Theater at Dankook University in South Korea. I have acted in one film and television drama."

Although Choo Ja-hyun is not young, she looks a bit reserved and not as confident as the other girls.

"You haven't signed with a company yet."

Among the actresses who signed up this time, there were not only those who had already signed with agencies, such as Kim Hee-sun and Song Hye-kyo, but also many students.

Choo Ja-hyun is one of them.

Cao Jian would naturally want to sign such a good-looking actor who is practically a complete novice.

Moreover, he discovered that Choo Ja-hyun has a very gentle appearance, and is not only suitable for modern dramas, but also very suitable for period dramas.

The future hit drama "Dae Jang Geum" that swept across Southeast Asia might actually be better suited to this woman, at least she looks prettier than the original Lee Young-ae.

Choo Ja-hyun assumed that Mr. Cao wanted to sign her, and replied expectantly, "Not at the moment."

"Oh."

But Cao Jian didn't mention that. Instead, he said, "Let me see what you're capable of, be a little wild."

Unsurprisingly, Choo Ja-hyun's wildness still failed to win over producer Mr. Cao.

"You're too gentle, and your eyes lack confidence; you're not suitable for this role."

Cao Jian pointed out Choo Ja-hyun's problem, which made the girl very disappointed, and she looked like she was about to cry.

The actors who auditioned next performed quite well, but Cao Jian just felt like he was missing something.

Cao Jian didn't have much time, and there were more than 300 actors who signed up.

Although only fifty people were selected, it would still take a whole day to audition them all.

"Hello, senior. My name is Jang Nara, and I am nineteen years old."

When the sweet and lovely Jang Nara appeared, Cao Jian felt that this girl was indeed very pretty and cute, but she just couldn't keep her mouth shut.

In the audition room, the boss was so picky that even the accompanying staff didn't know what kind of girl he was looking for.

Son Ye-jin and Ha Ji-won were both good, aren't you satisfied?

While Cao Jian was busy with auditions, a white super luxury sports car was parked downstairs at the company. A girl wearing sunglasses got out of the car and glanced at the unremarkable CL Entertainment.

"This is the company he runs in South Korea? Why didn't he do it better?"

The girl mentally complained, but as soon as she pushed open the door, the receptionist stopped her: "Are you here for an audition, miss? You're late, you can't go in. We'll reschedule for the afternoon."

The receptionist thought the girl was also an actress auditioning.

The girl took off her sunglasses and said, "I'm not here for an audition, I'm here to see your boss, Mr. Cao."

"He's not particularly good-looking; it seems he wasn't auditioning."

The receptionist then realized that although the girl was not bad, she was not in the same league as the actresses who came to audition today.

Upon hearing that the other party was looking for the boss, they politely asked, "Do you have an appointment?"

"No."

The girl came to surprise Cao Jian, so she deliberately didn't make an appointment.

"You can't go in."

"I'm your boss's girlfriend, why can't I go in?"

The girl raised her head and said something unexpected.

"girlfriend?"

The two receptionists were taken aback. The girl drove a nice car, had a so-so demeanor, and was only passable in appearance. Could she really be the boss's girlfriend?

If that's true, then the boss's judgment isn't very good.
"Miss, please wait a moment, I'll contact the boss."

……

At this time, Cao Jian was still busy with auditions, and he only had one question for everyone: only those who performed well could move on to the next step.

"Hello, senior, my name is Jun Ji-hyun."

"Act like a spoiled brat."

While the staff were still wondering what kind of actors the boss was looking for, a young girl walked in front of the camera.

"This girl is nice too."

When people saw Jun Ji-hyun, they immediately sensed her lively personality and a touch of spoiled charm.

In terms of appearance, they are in no way inferior to the previous ones.

Jun Ji-hyun in front of the camera certainly did not disappoint Cao Jian.

The way he bit his lip and slapped himself perfectly matched the image in the movie.

"Not bad, not bad." Cao Jian had to admit that nineteen-year-old Jun Ji-hyun was not only very beautiful, but also lively and mischievous, and had a sweet and salty temperament.

He really wanted to dig this up, but it was already a bit too late.

However, I should be able to sleep with her when I get the chance, and then I can conquer her in bed.

"Thank you, senior."

Upon hearing Cao Jian's praise, Jun Ji-hyun bowed her head, instantly transforming from a spoiled brat into a sweet and charming young lady.

"The boss has a good eye; this girl is perfect."

The staff were also very satisfied with Jun Ji-hyun, especially the director who was brought in to guide "My Sassy Girl".

"You can go down now. We'll discuss this and then contact your agent."

Cao Jian was plotting in his mind that he would talk to Jun Ji-hyun's agent later, arrange a dinner party that evening, and then win this woman over.

He's an investor and has a good relationship with CJ Group, so even if he slept with Jun Ji-hyun, his manager probably wouldn't have any objections.

Cao Jian no longer intends to pursue Japanese or Korean girls slowly; that would be too much of a waste of time.
If it can be solved with money, then we will never waste our emotions here.

Just as he was thinking this, his assistant came over: "Boss, a young girl came to the door and said she's your girlfriend."

"girlfriend?"

Cao Jian has had many girlfriends, but in the Korean music scene, only Lee Hyori can be considered one, while Sung Yuri can only be considered a mistress.

Lee Hyori is the owner here, so it definitely can't be her.

Could it be that someone from China has come to South Korea?

Cao Jian couldn't guess who it was, so he said, "Let her come up."

After saying that, he continued to bring in people for auditions.

A short while later, a girl ran up and slapped Cao Jian on the shoulder: "Why didn't you greet me?"

"It's you?"

Cao Jian turned around and realized that the person who came was actually Samsung's little princess, Li Yixin.

"Why? Are you surprised?"

When Li Yixin saw Cao Jian's appearance, she immediately found it amusing and sat down next to him, saying, "I missed you, so I came to see you."

"Wow, you're already missing me?"

Cao Jian was not only surprised by Li Yixin's arrival, but also very taken aback.

How did you suddenly become my girlfriend?

Cao Jian was only surprised for a moment before calming down and saying, "Just call me if you miss me, why did you come here?"

"I want to surprise you, and I also have some good news for you."

Since meeting Cao Jian last time, Li Yixin has often thought about this man, and today she finally couldn't resist coming to see him.

The staff members nearby, as well as the actress in front of the camera, were all very puzzled when they heard that a girl who wasn't particularly pretty was actually the boss's girlfriend.

Surely the boss's standards aren't that low?

But what happened next almost made their jaws drop.

Cao Jian then asked, "Good news? Does that mean Samsung has agreed to cooperate?"

"Not yet, but my father wants to see you."

"Your father? The chairman of Samsung? When can we meet him?"

As soon as he said this, a series of "thud" sounds came from all around. It turned out that many people had dropped what they were holding onto the ground.

This girl is actually the daughter of the chairman of Samsung?
So, is she Samsung's princess?
Judging from her age, she should be the little princess who is still in school and never appears in the public eye.

Wow, boss! When did you get her as your girlfriend?

Those around her looked at Li Yixin again, and with the added advantage of her illustrious family background, she seemed even more beautiful.

At the same time, I admire my boss immensely.

He's only been here a few days and he's already hooked up with Samsung's princess. What will he be like in the future?

Hearing the sounds of things falling to the ground, Li Yixin gave Cao Jian a reproachful look, blaming him for revealing her identity.

However, she felt quite good inside.

If this gets out, the fact that I'm Cao Jian's girlfriend might make the newspapers.

At that point, it won't be so easy for my father to object.

In fact, Cao Jian said that on purpose; he naturally understood the idiom "the fox borrows the tiger's might."

Even if there's no future with him, just the fact that he was once the boyfriend of a Samsung princess will make the company's development faster than SM Entertainment or JYP Entertainment.

Anyway, you said "my girlfriend" yourself, not me.

Li Yixin, unaware of Cao Jian's ulterior motives, laughed and said, "My brother might call you today, so we should meet tomorrow."

"That is not bad."

Cao Jian has an audition today, but he can't get away.

Li Yixin then said, "Are you done with your work? I'll treat you to lunch. Are you busy this afternoon? Do you want to go shopping with me, and then we can go racing?"

"I have to work this afternoon, you go back first, we'll go out and have fun tomorrow."

Cao Jian immediately refused.

He's going to talk to Jun Ji-hyun's manager today, and he probably has an event tonight. What's he doing spending time with this woman?
Even if the other party is willing, Samsung's princess cannot be eaten so easily.

"I finally got out of here, so please keep me company."

Li Yixin actually acted like a girlfriend and started to act coquettishly towards Cao Jian.

"Let's have lunch together then."

Cao Jian had no choice but to agree to have lunch together to appease the young girl.

The little girl is innocent and energetic, but she's also very clingy.

After the actors finished their auditions, Cao Jian and Li Yixin left together. As they left, the Samsung princess even linked arms with Cao Jian.

"Boss, you're amazing! Our company is going to be a huge success!"

"Yes, we thought this company was small at first, but it seems we underestimated the boss's methods."

"Could the boss become Samsung's son-in-law?"

"Work hard in the future, and maybe the company will be able to go public soon."

……

After the staff watched the boss leave, a buzz of discussion filled the room.

"The youngest daughter of the Samsung chairman? Really?"

Soon, the news reached Lee Hyori and Sung Yuri's ears.

They really couldn't believe that Cao Jian had gotten involved with Samsung's princess in less than a week since he arrived.

Although they were heartbroken, the two knew that they were just entertainers and at most became popular singers. Even if they became popular, they could not compare with or compete with the princess of Samsung.

It seems I can only be his lover.

Cao Jian and Li Yixin were having dinner at a fairly upscale Western restaurant.

"Oppa, I've liked you ever since the day I saw you."

Li Yixin cut a piece of steak and fed it to Cao Jian, her eyes full of affection, and she even changed how she addressed him.

"I like you too, but I'm afraid I'm not good enough for you."

Cao Jian ate his steak and sized up the girl.

Although Li Yixin is not as mature as her sister and lacks a bit of poise, she is lively and cheerful.

"I don't like saying things like 'climbing the social ladder' or 'descending the social ladder'."

Young Li Yixin, still a bit rebellious, said, "My sister can like a bodyguard, and besides, you're much better than a bodyguard, plus... you're so handsome."

"You're beautiful too."

Cao Jian had it easy when it came to picking up young girls.

These words made Li Yixin's smile even brighter. She said, "Actually, when my sister went back last time, she told Father that I like you and wanted him to stop me."

"what?"

Cao Jian was taken aback. Was that so?
Does your father not only want to discuss cooperation with me tomorrow, but also want to interrogate me?
