The Rise of Korean Entertainment

After Li Enxi put down the phone, she still felt quite incredible. She actually chatted with the head of the Ministry of Culture for almost an hour at this time. Although she didn't talk about much business, Li Enxi also got in a lot, because she hinted that he would come to visit at the end of the year. Yes, you can’t go empty-handed.

Of course, this level of public relations is considered normal, and people won’t pay special attention to these things of yours. After all, there are many people in the circle who want to find relationships with them. Don’t think that no one in Korea cares about this seemingly free thing. entertainment circle.

You must know that the overall entertainment in South Korea is a pillar industry led by the state. A quarter of the people in the country directly or indirectly rely on this industry for their livelihood. If no one is in charge of it, there will be trouble. .

Although I can't say how direct it is, after all, it is a country that claims to be a democracy, but the supervision behind it is not lax at all. One of the great pressures that CJ brings to SW comes from this aspect. To put it more simply, it is There's someone up there!

There is no need to go out to help personally, as long as you don't speak out, this kind of malicious smear and suppression is absolutely detrimental to the development of the circle. Li Enxi doesn't believe that the people above are all a bunch of idiots. All he can say is sw There is no background here.

This point once made Li Enxi very helpless, because it was no longer a matter of her own ability. No matter how powerful Li Enxi was, she could not have a minister uncle or something like that. So when Li Menglong revealed the plan to her, Li Enxi Personally I am more skeptical.

On the one hand, the military is not compatible with the entertainment industry. It cannot be rushed and sends a team of soldiers to vomit the opponent. On the other hand, it is more realistic. SW, including Li Menglong, does not seem to have much use value. , what do you want people to do for you? Out of kindness? Or maybe a Girls’ Generation fan?

This is entirely due to Lee Eun-hee's appearance. It can only be said that no company in the Korean entertainment industry relied on this in the past, but similar methods and cooperation are actually quite mature. The most typical case is Hollywood in the United States.

Every year there will always be one or two blockbusters that praise the positive image of soldiers. It can even be said that as long as there are large-scale military movies with modern warfare, there will be similar factors. Otherwise, how did those equipment come from? Can tanks and planes be rented for money?

The most typical and successful case is Tom Cruise's Top Gun in the 1990s, a successful blockbuster with a pilot as the background. After its release, the recruitment rate of naval pilots increased dramatically.

Although South Korea has a compulsory service system for all citizens, let alone dangerous positions, the proportion of people who become long-term soldiers after two years of service is very small. This is very common in developed countries. As the saying goes, good men should not be soldiers.

The more developed the country, the more obvious similar problems become, so when the military had a headache, Li Menglong jumped into it. To be honest, they didn't pay much attention to it at the beginning. It can be seen from the fact that the TV series was allowed to fend for itself before.

But as Descendants of the Sun gradually began to gain popularity, the military seemed to see a little extra joy. The reason why the military was so determined to help was that the special forces had the highest disability rate and the largest amount of training. In the past two months, many active players have signed up, which is a bit surprising.

And after learning more about it, they discovered that this TV series is still in a state where others are stumbling upon it. If this TV series really became a popular TV series, the military would be much better off in the past two years. .

So don't be polite anymore. This is simply tampering with the military's cake. Although it is difficult to get involved directly, there is no problem in finding relevant departments to put pressure. This is not a small fight between one or two entertainment companies. If a quarrel breaks out, no one dares to suppress it.

So the whole thing is not as complicated as Li Enxi thought. It’s just that Li Menglong came up with the right work at the right time, just like a person who quickly and accurately found the point when itching somewhere on his back. It’s so refreshing. .

Of course, the most important thing is the excellence of the drama itself. This is the basis of all possibilities. This drama does not save money. The male and female protagonists are all big names, and it is shot overseas. Even the second female lead has Yuli. Popular members, this itself can explain the attitude.

Sw did everything they could, and then it was a long wait. Just when Li Enxi was about to be disappointed, the turnaround came. Because it was still late at night, not many people may have realized it, but early the next morning they You can see overwhelming good news about this drama in the news, newspapers, and websites.

Leaning on the back of the chair and folding her legs on the table, Li Enxi couldn't hold her lips down at all. Fortunately, she didn't want to pretend. After being suppressed for so long and carrying so much pressure, she suddenly felt relaxed. It just makes people want to go to heaven.

Glancing at Li Menglong over there, he seemed to be much calmer than her. He could at least maintain an expressionless state, but when the two of them accidentally looked at each other, they understood each other's feelings. ecstasy.

It's just that the two of them shuddered in tacit understanding. It's really a bit nerve-wracking to be able to confirm each other's emotions through their eyes, especially when neither of them wants to be each other's significant other, this state is... Even more penetrating.

Under such a good situation, this group of people were as if they had been given a shot of blood. There was no trace of sleepiness at all. They were in the most awake state, and they desperately sent out all kinds of news they had accumulated in the past. .

If the TV series had just aired, Lee Eun-hee would have objected to releasing the news like this. Otherwise, what would he have posted in the second half? But now there is no need to think about it so much, because the TV series is more than halfway through, and it will be ruined if it is not released.

At this moment, Li Menglong suddenly asked: "The overseas rights and replay rights have not been sold, right?"

Li Menglong is not aimless. It's crazy that it can be sold at a high price in its current state. This drama itself cannot be expected to make money from the first round of broadcasting. The follow-up income is obviously the bulk, especially now.

He gave Li Menglong a shining eyeball, did he deserve to be reminded of this kind of thing? The day lilies were already cold when he thought about it. Of course, while enjoying Li Menglong's admiring gaze, Li Enxi would not tell him that the main reason why she did not agree to those people was that the price was too low, which stimulated her self-esteem.

Li Enxi's idea at the time was that she would rather die than take advantage of these shameless people. She never thought about making a fortune after the fire, but fortunately, the results of both were similar, and she was the only one with the inside story. People know.

When this group of people finished their work temporarily, it was already bright outside. The group of people moved their stiff bodies and chatted happily. The centripetal force of SW Company is quite strong: "The company is going to make money, right?" Treat us to a hearty breakfast!"

"Breakfast is nothing, it's too expensive. I'm the first to be unhappy with anyone who saves money for Li Menglong!" Li Enxi immediately threw the blame on Li Menglong, and when Li Menglong left last night, Li Shunkyu habitually gave it to him With a card, he is now temporarily rich, so he can spend it.

"What's going on with you guys? Have you been here all night? I thought you guys were sneaking out and fooling around!" The landlady was rarely lively for once, but this joke was hard to take. Li Menglong couldn't acquiesce with a shy face. Well, that would be a big disadvantage for him!

"What do you mean by your sullen face? It's me who wants to be sad. Who do you think you are?" Li Enxi also got angry at the side: "I'll warn you later, you dare to ask me to spend less money when I'm eating." , I’ll kill you first!”

The only thing Li Menglong was lucky about was that this card belonged to Li Soonkyu, otherwise he would have felt bad for spending his own money. However, he didn't know if Li Soonkyu would call and confront him after seeing this text message about the astronomical breakfast consumption in the morning.

But before Li Menglong could say anything, the landlady on the other end said: "Eating out? Are you crazy? Yesterday I delayed my business for a whole day and ate in the store! I have stocked up again, and I have everything I ordered!"

The staff were very lazy. After all, they planned to blackmail Li Menglong for a good meal. Although the breakfast was expensive, he couldn't eat much, but it was like adding ten eggs to pancakes and fruit. What he wanted was this kind of pride. Anyway, it was not Spend your own money to hit the second grade at will.

After hearing this reason, the landlady will not let them go: "Boss, is it a treat? Then you're welcome. Each person will have a family bucket, and then pack one to take home to eat. If there are more family members, the second one Half price!”

Li Menglong had already begun to cover his forehead and silently hand over the card. The landlady who is stuck in business is terrible. If she is not allowed to complete this business, she will make these people uncomfortable for a month. In this case, everyone can only remain silent. Ordering food with pride, for example, ordering from the most expensive to the bottom...

It was not yet seven o'clock when Li Menglong got home, and the dormitory was still quiet. The kind of character who wants to die and starts screaming as soon as he comes home is obviously not suitable for Li Menglong. If he disturbs the dreams of girls, he will be hacked to death. This point He had been warned numerous times.

But the fried chicken in his hand is still warm. Li Menglong still has feelings for fried chicken. After all, he works for a job and loves a job. The first pot of freshly fried fried chicken this morning is quite rare, especially because They are all eaten by themselves, and they are very careful from the beginning of the ingredients. It would be a waste not to eat it while it is hot.

So after thinking about it, Li Menglong sneaked up to the second floor. After more than two years of continuous exploration, he already knew the structure of the second floor quite well, so he opened the bag of fried chicken and placed it at the door.

But after squatting for a while, he felt that he was a little embarrassed. When would he be able to smell it when the doors were closed? So he could only be a thief once. He was still a little excited when he started. This early morning, I secretly opened the door of my girlhood boudoir. This kind of exciting thing is probably something that many people would never dream of.

Swallowing silently, Li Menglong knew clearly that the probability of not being able to see anything was 99%. After all, the most likely state for them was that they were sleeping soundly in various weird sleeping positions, the kind that they would change as soon as they opened the door. Images of clothes can only appear in movies.

So the exciting point is not what you can see but the thing itself. Anyway, Li Menglong was a little excited for no reason. Of course, a more suitable way to say it is that he fell into the joy of a middle school boy.

Maybe he has done a lot of good things recently, so God may want to give him some rewards. There is such a small chance that he will be hit by him. As soon as he opened the door, he saw a shocking scene. This Li Menglong I almost screamed myself.

It's just that the process wasn't that sexy. He first restrained his urge to scream, and then quickly covered Xu Xian's mouth. Xu Xian was struggling. He had to go to the bathroom in a daze this morning. , and as soon as I opened the door, I looked into the eyes of a sneaky man. This experience couldn't be more exciting.

He fiercely gave Li Menglong two kicks to indicate that he had recognized him. Li Menglong then put down his hand in a sullen manner. At the same time, he hesitated how to explain this. Is it too much of a coincidence to tell the truth? Lying is even more inappropriate!

Fortunately, Xu Xian was not curious at all as to why he came over. The child's idea was so novel: "It's just this once. Next time you come in, you have to knock on the door first, otherwise it will be very rude!"

"Then don't be too casual when you enter my room!" Li Menglong replied unexpectedly. He was so regretful that he subconsciously hit his head against the wall. Xu Xian didn't pursue it anymore, but he still wanted to argue?

"Nay, I will also knock on the door in the future, okay?" Xu Xian said as if he knew his mistakes and could correct them, but both his tone and expression showed that I was very angry now and apologized quickly. Otherwise the consequences will be very serious.

Li Menglong was never tough when it was time to be cowardly, so he said good things for a few minutes, including some very subtle and strong compliments such as "Remember to take off your makeup before going to bed." It would not have been possible for someone like Lee Soonkyu who was a little stupider. He could react, but Xu Xian accepted this kind of implicit praise quite well.

So Li Menglong simply struck while the iron was hot and asked Xu Xian to deliver the fried chicken to everyone's room respectively, and then "politely" closed the door tightly. In a closed room, a bucket of freshly baked fried chicken tasted like a biochemical Weapons.

When Xu Xian went to wash up, Li Menglong was not in a hurry to leave. After all, he wanted to confirm the outcome of the battle. He squatted in the middle of the corridor and listened to the six directions. Soon a voice came from a room: "Huh? This smells really good." It smells good, am I dreaming?”

Li Menglong quickly found the source of the sound, then pressed his whole body against the door and said with a pinched voice: "My child, this is God's reward for you, eat it!"

"Hey, I must be too beautiful, right? Then I'm not welcome!" Yoona's silly voice was quite honest. Li Menglong had already started covering his mouth and snickering outside. Is this kid really stupid?

It turns out that Yoona's reflex arc just slowed down after getting up. At least she woke up when she was chewing the third chicken wing: "I'm afraid, is this dream so real? Hahaha, thank you to the old man above, I will do this in the future. Give me a dozen from Meng Meng, I want to eat pig trotters tomorrow..."
