Chapter 635

"Charles, I'll go to Japan first. When are you planning to come?" Early in the morning, Lin Chi-ling sat up in bed and asked.

Charles leaned against the headboard, enjoying the service under the covers from Son Ye-jin. "Three or five days, not more than a week!"

"You really are something..." Lin Chi-ling wasn't able to finish her words before Charles pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the lips.

"Phew..." After a while, Charles loosened his grip on Lin Chi-ling and leaned back against the headboard, feeling utterly relaxed.

Son Ye-jin also emerged from under the covers, taking deep breaths, "Sis, are you going to Japan?"

Lin Chi-ling nodded, "Yes, I'm going ahead to make some arrangements. If you have time, you can come along later."

...

That very afternoon, Lin Chi-ling flew straight to Tokyo!

In the evening, Charles took Son Ye-jin to a private club in Gangnam District for a party hosted by Shin Dong-joo, the chairman of Lotte.

"How does it feel? Isn't it different from before?" Charles asked with a smile, noticing how everyone they met along the way would bow to Son Ye-jin.

Son Ye-jin wore a low-cut Dior haute couture dress, looking even more graceful and elegant; but she still seemed a bit unaccustomed to this change in status.

Son Ye-jin held Charles's arm, "Ever since East Asia Korea acquired shares in YG and CJ E&M, things have been different. East Asia Korea became the fourth largest shareholder of YG and formed a partnership with CJ E&M. Now, many directors, producers, and writers hope to get investment from East Asia Korea!"

If Son Ye-jin wanted, she could invest in several movies and TV shows at any time, potentially deciding the fate of countless people.

She then whispered in Charles's ear with a smile, "It's all because of you, Oppa. Otherwise, as just an actress, I wouldn't get any respect!"

"The value of East Asia Korea is now at least a trillion Korean won. You're already the president managing a company worth over a trillion won. It's only natural to get external respect," Charles wrapped his arm around the lady's waist and headed upstairs.

...

"Is Captain America: The First Avenger promoting in Asia?" Charles saw the news. It was only the beginning of December, and there were still a couple of weeks left until the movie's release.

However, Charles didn't care too much. Just like how The Twilight Saga: Eclipse had started its Asian promotional activities in October, mainly in Singapore, Seoul, Tokyo, and Australia.

In the office of East Asia Korea, Charles was holding Son Ye-jin while sitting on a chair. "Oppa, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse has a really high box office now!"

After being in theaters for a month, The Twilight Saga: Eclipse had made 250 million dollars in North America, with an even higher overseas revenue.

Charles was surprised and responded, "Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows - Part 1 is even more amazing. It's been out for just over two weeks, with North American box office earnings reaching 200 million dollars and overseas earnings exceeding 500 million dollars!"

It seemed that the Twilight series still couldn't compete with the ferocity of the Harry Potter series.

"Isn't Captain America: The First Avenger coming out soon? Next year's big Marvel movie, The Avengers, is highly anticipated," Son Ye-jin reminded with a smile.

Son Ye-jin hugged Charles's neck and gave him a voluntary kiss, then said, "Because of my current status, I've been avoiding any projects with intimate scenes. There are abundant resources in East Asia Korea. Shouldn't we sign more artists?"

"You all can decide on your own. Isn't that T-ara group making a lot of money right now? If you have confidence, you can train a few more groups," Charles laughed. The idol economy market in Japan and Korea was huge!

"T-ara was part of the earlier legacy. Every day, new idol groups debut in Korea, but the success rate is very low due to the large number of people in the industry and the fast turnover rate. We also have a duo, Davichi, that's not bad," Son Ye-jin said, leaning close to Charles's ear for a reminder.

"The proportion of entertainment industry workers in Korea is indeed very high," Charles had to admit. The Korean wave had been doing well in recent years. "Girls' Generation debuted in Japan this year and even released an album. How's T-ara doing in Japan?"

Son Ye-jin quickly responded, "T-ara released a single in Japan, and their first Japanese album will be launched next year, with agent work handled by East Asia Japan, and the records managed by King Records under Capet Japan."

Right now, T-ara was definitely the golden goose of East Asia Korea. 

"Alright then," Charles checked his watch, "Aren't you supposed to attend the promotion event for Captain America: The First Avenger?"

Son Ye-jin nodded, "It's time to head to the release venue!"

"Let's go," Charles patted the lady on his lap, also getting ready to check it out.

...

In the afternoon, the Hollywood blockbuster Captain America: The First Avenger held a release event at the Four Points by Sheraton Hotel in Seoul. Lead actor Chris Evans and supporting actor Sebastian Stan attended the event, but the leading lady Gal Gadot was currently filming Skyfall in the UK and couldn't promote in Korea!

Charles just casually met with some members of the crew and then left early.
