Chapter 33 You started a company, and only told your son on the last day?
The new year had just begun, and the house was already bustling with activity as everyone had work to do. Mads Wu received a call from his agent, who had given him a new job and asked him to return to New York by next week.
Originally, Kang Woo-jin had new business to discuss with the production company in New York, but he kept making excuses and declined several times.
However, this production company had tasted the success of their previous film, which received widespread acclaim and soared at the box office, so they couldn't just give up. Therefore, they could only urge the screenwriter to continue.
The crew only gave us three days off, and before we could even get a proper rest, the holiday was over.
After returning to the film set, Kang Woo-jin immersed himself in filming. He would soon be returning to his school, so he couldn't stay in the country indefinitely.
The premiere date has been set for the 11th of this month. Director Huang Renlei intends to have the four lead actors participate in several variety shows as a form of promotion.
Unfortunately, Kang Woo-jin had already received a call from the school, so apart from the press conference, he didn't plan to participate in any variety shows.
When Hwang In-rae approached him about this, Kang Woo-jin had a legitimate reason.
"I'm sorry, director, I have to go to school, so I have to go back two days early. I might only be able to attend the press conference at most."
Most importantly, he wanted a good environment to revise the script. It was inconvenient to be on set, but he couldn't go home until it was time to rest.
Hwang In-rae looked at Joo Ji-hoon's location with a hint of regret and sighed, "If it were you, Yoo-jin, the recording would definitely be more interesting. The people at the TV station and the audience like you more."
Most importantly, if Kang Woo-jin is there, then the TV station's cameras will mostly be on him. As long as he appears on screen, it will serve as a great promotion for the drama.
Kang Woo-jin didn't care about this matter. He wasn't a typical entertainer and had never participated in variety shows, so he was quite calm about it.
Perhaps because they were about to return to New York, most of the filming these past few days consisted of scenes featuring Kang Woo-jin. Filming was only suspended two days before the premiere because of a press conference.
He's not exactly a newbie anymore. At this small press conference, Kang Woo-jin's emotional state was more stable than Hwang In-rae's. He was able to smile and steer the conversation toward the drama when faced with tricky questions from reporters.
He was happy to have some free time after the press conference. After the conference, Huang Renlei went to deal with the reporters alone, while the others returned to the lounge.
When Jiang Jingshu found Jiang Youzhen, he was sitting alone in another lounge, busy booking plane tickets and thinking about how much time he would need to spend revising the script after returning home.
The door opened, interrupting his thoughts. Jiang Youzhen blankly accepted the business card Jiang Jingshu handed him.
Upon seeing the contents of the business card, Jiang Youzhen's eyes widened in surprise.
FFF.Entertainment, Representative Director: Jiang Jingshu.
Entertainment?
Representative director?
"Mom, isn't this... a studio?"
"Well, this will make signing contracts easier in the future, and it'll also give your dad a title. So, we discussed it and set up this entertainment company. The address is listed above. We'll have a small celebration tomorrow at the new address, so remember to come."
In recent years, as Mads Wu's fame has grown, he has received more and more film offers, and his wallet has naturally become much thicker. The United States has no jurisdiction over Mads Wu's personal wealth.
Back in China, Jiang Jingshu had accumulated a considerable amount of savings, and she also had plans for her future career, so the two discussed it together.
The decision was made to establish a brokerage company.
After seeing the long-term contract that Jiang Jingshu pushed towards him, Jiang Youzhen understood.
So this is a case of father and son going into battle together.
It's one thing to exploit one person's labor, but why are they even exploiting their son?
"What does FFF mean? It can't be something like Family or Forever, can it?"
......
Embarrassingly, Jiang Jingshu seemed to accept this old-fashioned explanation. Her smug expression changed slightly, and she deliberately turned her head to look out the window, refusing to look at Jiang Youzhen's somewhat disgusted expression.
After a moment, she finally uttered the last word of explanation.
"There's also a First."
He knew it...
Family, forever, first—it might sound touching at first, but from their perspective, it's a little awkward.
Jiang Youzhen looked somewhat displeased, but was inwardly surprised.
His parents had been planning to start a talent agency for some unknown time, and he was completely unaware of it!
Wasn't it supposed to be a studio? Why the change?
After chatting for a while, Jiang Jingshu left. She still had to give her business cards to other people. After all, she had started a company, and with her network of connections, she would probably be very busy these next few days.
Only after watching Jiang Jingshu walk out did Jiang Youzhen examine the business card in his hand.
However, when he saw the address, his expression became somewhat strange.
Apgujeong-dong, Gangnam District... Isn't this the opposite side of SM Entertainment?
He remembered that Jiang Jingshu had contacted him before to find a new location for his studio, so he chose the location closest to SM Entertainment without hesitation.
It seems his mother really listened to him.
Jiang Youzhen put down the business card, his thoughts drifting away again. Tomorrow wasn't a day off, so the trainees would also be at the company.
Thinking of this, he took out his phone and sent a message to Kim Tae-yeon.
After waiting for a while without receiving any reply, Jiang Youzhen had no choice but to put his phone back in his pocket. The thought of returning to New York in a couple of days made him feel uneasy.
Only after the press conference had completely ended did Kang Woo-jin get into Kang Jung-seo's car and leave with her.
Just as the car drove out of the parking lot, Kang Woo-jin inadvertently caught a glimpse of paparazzi standing outside the parking lot. They seemed to be following the departing actors and directors, running back and forth at the entrance.
Noticing this behavior, Jiang Youzhen had a new idea. When he noticed that the paparazzi was pointing his camera at him, he subconsciously gave a polite smile.
Perhaps not expecting Jiang Youzhen to respond, the reporter paused for a moment, then smiled back before the car had already driven away.
Back home, Jiang Youzhen told his parents about booking the plane tickets. He would be going back to school in a couple of days, but he would be back soon. He could come back as soon as he sorted things out in New York.
Knowing that Jiang Youzhen was going back to New York, his family didn't say much. It's not like he's never been out before. They just reminded him to rest and not to go out and play around.
If society is a big dye vat, then the lives of college students are like a sewage bucket mixed with hysteria and alcohol. Very few can pass through it and still remain clean.
Mads Wu rarely takes care of his children, but he does talk to them at home and teach them how to be normal people.
The good news is that Kang Woo-jin does not touch those kinds of controlled drugs and alcohol, but the bad news is that he has no social life at all.
Sometimes being too nice can be a problem, and Jiang Jingshu doesn't want her son to be so withdrawn until graduation.
