The Rise of Korean Entertainment

Li Menglong has been wandering between heaven and hell these days. It would be fine if it had always been hell, but with this comparison, the pain of hell is even more obvious, especially since the girls are not shy or impatient. He is now I can't pee without locking the door when I go to the bathroom.

As for why there are so many people at the bedside in the morning, this situation is all childish. Li Menglong almost felt like he had a nervous breakdown. The girls tortured him, so he tortured Director Luo, so the preparations for the show took off quickly.

This is contrary to the original intention of the girls. They just want to seize some opportunities, but because everyone is almost fighting on their own, they can only use some special methods when they don't particularly trust each other. Beyond threats and flattery.

This is also the root cause of Li Menglong's pain. Fortunately, they are not at home much during the day. They all go out with various friends to whisper. They seem to firmly believe that the idea of ​​forming a team in advance is correct, and they did not expect that Li Menglong would be a little bit. Prevention?

Of course they have thought about it, but they are more willing to believe Li Menglong's cowardice. Even if it changes in the second period, everything will be easy. If they are not allowed to use what they prepared in the first period, these groups of people will really give up. recorded.

As for the content of their respective exercises, Li Menglong didn't know, because everyone knew that Li Menglong had no secrets from them, so telling her would be equivalent to telling everyone, so they must be on guard against him.

But no matter what, the mental state of the girls in the past few days has been quite good. On the one hand, they have goals to strive for, and on the other hand, they can play with some new friends. It does not mean that the relationship between the girls is not good. , but after getting along for a long time, you will indeed want some fresh blood.

Of course, the most important thing is that everyone has enough free time. Although they say they go out to practice every day, who knows what they are doing. Li Menglong's personal guess is that most of them are eating, drinking, watching movies, shopping, etc. As for the time for practice? Let’s talk about it when we have time!

And the one staying at home with Li Menglong today is Xu Xian. This girl is really not willing to do this, mainly because she feels that the time spent is not proportional to the rewards. It is not her Xu Xian to go crazy just for a guess. style of.

So despite Nicole's constant encouragement from behind, Xu Xian mostly asked symbolically, just fulfill his obligations. As for Li Menglong, she would not be responsible if he didn't say anything. This is still the case today: "What does oppa have?" Any inside information?"

"Yes, do you want to hear it?"

"If not, forget it..." After Xu Xian said these words, he realized that Li Menglong's answer was different from before. He turned his head and looked directly into his eyes, trying to tell whether Li Menglong was teasing her, but he looked very That's what happened.

"What look? Doubt me? When did I lie to you?" Li Menglong looked like he had been wronged.

Many people like to use this sentence when they are quarreling or joking, especially for people like Seohyun, who is a doormat. Seohyun, who is serious by nature, made a small book to counter this sentence, Whoever cheated on her on that particular day was clearly written on it, specifically for slapping her in the face.

It’s just that I won’t expose Li Menglong today. Although Xu Xian is upright but not stupid, the information is obviously more important. She is also very curious about why Li Menglong agreed to her so easily. If it were an outsider, she would doubt whether it was necessary. Pay money or something like that.

In fact, Li Menglong is not much more noble than those people: "This news comes at a price, you understand!"

Afraid that Xu Xian wouldn't understand, Li Menglong even rubbed his fingertips. This was typical of asking for money. To be honest, Li Menglong didn't have high expectations. Ten thousand and twenty thousand was not too little, and he didn't think that one hundred and twenty million was too little either. More, just give me as much as you want.

Xu Xian naturally understood, but he didn't want Li Menglong to get his wish, so he blinked his big eyes and looked a little shy, then held Li Menglong's head and kissed him hard on the top of his head, and also made a loud noise specially the sound of.

This time Li Menglong was also dumbfounded. It wasn't because he was shy. After all, a kiss on the top of his head was just a joke at best. He was dumbfounded that Xu Xian, the kid, could think of this. Could Li Menglong be in the eyes of the other party? Is he just a scumbag?

"Oppa is not going to default on the debt, is he? Then I will tell Ernie!" Xu Xian said slyly, like a little fox.

Li Menglong also knew that he had been tricked. Fortunately, he didn't dislike this kind of trick at all. He was much gentler than other girls. If he asked them for money, they would probably get slippers, fists, etc., which was quite violent.

"The show is not as bloody as you think, and it can even be said to be a bit heartwarming, so don't be too nervous!" Li Menglong thought for a while and picked something to say and said: "As for the nature of the show, it is more about learning than competition. So prepare according to this idea, there will be surprises!”

Although he always said that he wanted to eat alone, Xu Xian still secretly told these words to the unnies at night. Everyone had different reactions: "How can he be so kind? He left such a big food There is no need for a selling point, I personally think this is a smoke bomb he deliberately released!"

"The analysis is very reasonable, but you have also overlooked the possibility that some shady brats are coming to deceive us based on information asymmetry. This is not impossible!"

Xu Xian felt a little aggrieved. He only thought that the Ernies would be wronged in the end. After pouting, he swung his shoulders and walked away, determined not to pay attention to these bad guys anymore. Little did he know that this was just a test by everyone. Well, from the way Xu Xian left, it was clear that the news was true.

The following is a discussion of the possibility of Li Menglong seducing Xu Xian. This possibility is undoubtedly quite low. After all, Xu Xian is the most powerful one when it comes to settling accounts after the fall. Although the girls always say this, they forget it after two days. It is possible, but Xu Xian can really remember Qiu Hou!

In this case, everyone was thinking about what Li Menglong meant. They didn't sleep well that night. The next morning, Yoona went to wake up Li Menglong as usual. She stubbornly believed that it is easier for people to tell the truth when they first get up. words.

But what about this person? After searching around downstairs, Yoona had to announce that Li Menglong was missing. The girls all walked downstairs. It didn’t matter that Li Menglong was missing, but it’s a bit weird to be missing nowadays. Didn’t he just run away after giving out false news? Bar?

Fortunately, they soon discovered the text message on their mobile phone. It was actually sent at about four o'clock in the morning. They were so surprised if they could see it. As for the message, it was not complicated: please go to the Produce 2nd Generation Tiantuan before noon. Recording scene.

The girls looked at each other and felt a little confused. You must know that they had prepared a lot for this show and made various mental preparations for the possibility of being kidnapped in their sleep. As a result, they just told them to go directly there. Already? This gap is quite big!

I contacted several other groups and everyone received the same message, but when I contacted the company again, there was no news at all. It seemed that they had received a warning in advance. No one even answered their calls, as if they had been abandoned. It seems so good.

Fortunately, Xu Xian soon discovered something fishy. The word "self" above it was quite abrupt, because there was no need to emphasize it. Ninety-nine percent of their daily trips were accompanied by staff, and they rarely had the opportunity to go out by themselves. Pitiful.

It’s not that they don’t have the ability to take care of themselves or act like celebrities, it’s really inconvenient. The simplest thing is, do they have to queue up and buy tickets to go to the movies? You may not even be able to walk in when the show starts. There shouldn’t be too many similar things, so the car they bought almost becomes a decoration.

"Go by yourself, just go by yourself. Everyone drives by themselves. Let's run on the road and show them a look!" Li Shunkyu said proudly, but everyone ignored her words. It was dark that day when she drove by herself. Can I arrive before?

Xu Xian could already vaguely guess some of Li Menglong's intentions. It didn't matter whether they could succeed in doing something independently without anyone's help, but they didn't have many opportunities to try something like this, and it was new now.

Of course, there were not too many troubles in the process. When we went to the self-service gas station, the nine of us were almost there. Fortunately, a fan caught up with us and we managed to solve the problem. After stumbling all the way, we finally arrived at the place.

It is a place on the outskirts of the city, and it looks like a large studio of MBC. The girls have a vague impression that it looks like a factory from the outside, with a very industrial punk feel: "Hurry up, don't be the last one." late!"

After entering, the surroundings became much softer. The interiors inside were obviously temporarily built recently, and you could faintly smell the smell of new products. The corridors you passed by were filled with photos of them from various periods, as if they were traveling back in time. It's like a long corridor, and at the end is the big signboard with the name of the program, which looks very cheap and flashing.

After walking through the corridor, the view suddenly broadened. Not too much, a hall of more than a hundred square meters was vacant there. Except for three chairs in the middle, there was nothing in the hall. Of course, there were people. There were three other groups of people and a lot of staff. .

"Hurry up when you're here. I'm so old and you're late. I feel embarrassed for you!" Li Menglong sat on the chair on the side and waved naturally, with a harsh tone. The girls knew that this was belated revenge. .

But an embarrassing scene soon appeared. Why were they so uncomfortable after they passed there? There was nothing to cover them, let alone tables and chairs, so they just stood here in a daze. ?

Li Shunkyu looked around and wanted to ask someone. He could see that the show had officially been filmed. Many cameras had flashed red lights to indicate that they were recording. But what was there to film? The three hosts were just sitting there chatting and chatting about themselves, while a large group of guests like them were standing here stupidly. Isn’t it nice to watch?

Li Shunkyu didn't know that this was something that was not discussed in advance, but she didn't want to follow their script, so she simply sat on the ground. If they were still like this, she wouldn't mind lying down for a while or even catching up on some sleep. .

Fortunately, the show was not so boring. After the girls all sat down, the show finally got on track. At least it looked a lot more comfortable. There were more than twenty dwarfs surrounding the three hosts!

"Does everyone feel weird? To be honest, I feel the same way. I don't even know why they asked me to host it!" Yoo Jae Suk also started complaining: "But I can't let go of the free money, so I have to make do with it. It’s lively.”

"Don't look at me, I'm just here to make some fun!" Kim Jong Kook answered naturally. Yoo Jae Suk could only turn his head to look at Lee Meng Yong. This guy went even further and looked directly at the ceiling to "count the stars."

Sighing silently, he knew that he couldn't accept this show. With so many unreliable people coming together, wouldn't this be a bad sign? He may not be the only one who regrets it. It is estimated that these girls will also feel the same way soon. What are they doing here?

As a result, the show went cold for an instant. To be honest, I don’t know how many times this happened after the show started. Under the pressure of Director Luo, Li Menglong reluctantly stood up. He thought that everyone could just send out the program outline. Well, I have to let him explain it again.

"You are generally around twenty-five years old. Ordinary young people are just entering society at your age and working hard for the future, but at this age you already have countless admirers and a lot of money. , Seriously speaking, you can just sit on your money and wait to die, but are you willing? At this age of flowers?" Li Menglong has lived with the girls for too long, so what he said is very poignant. Hit the mark.

He did not deliberately avoid some sensitive topics. These girls can generally retire now. Maybe the financial strength of Tara and others is slightly worse, but it is only relatively speaking. Compared with ordinary people, they only earn as much as It is enough for them to spend the rest of their lives without making a mess.

But life shouldn't be like this. Although because of the special nature of their work, they have experienced the epitome of ordinary people's lives early on, from the confused efforts in the dark to the unknown newcomer period, from the glamorous and popular to the post-peak period. Slowly coming to an end, it can be said that ordinary people will never have such wonderful experiences as they have in the past few years. To a certain extent, they have indeed experienced everything they should have experienced.

Li Menglong believed that they should have a period of time to settle and think. Maybe they themselves were not aware of this, but Li Menglong saw this. To be precise, their complete life was about to come to an end.

This is not uncommon. People who reach middle age often experience similar confusion, repeating work day after day, being impatient with existing jobs, and pursuing restless dreams in their hearts. Although they finally choose to jump out of their inherent lives to pursue their dreams, There are not many people, but there is no shortage of similar thinking.

To be honest, it sounds a bit joking to look back on life at the age of twenty-five, but the girls in front of me all have this qualification. There are millions of paths in life, and you don’t necessarily have to be on the road to stardom. Hell, you should at least give it a try, right?

However, the opportunity to try is too rare for them. It can be said that their time is equivalent to money. Neither the company nor themselves have had such luxurious ideas. Now Li Menglong has given them this opportunity.

"Don't thank me in a hurry. I'm not as great as you think. At least I won't do a loss-making business!" Li Menglong stopped the girls from saying grateful words: "This hall, including the ten rooms surrounding it, is the future. This will be your base within half a year. As you can see, this place is a blank sheet of paper that will eventually be filled by you."

"Half a year is not a long time or a short time. If I let you go completely, you may not be used to it, so we divided the time into paragraphs!" At this time, Liu Zaishi naturally took over the conversation: "First Our positioning for the month is learning, which is equivalent to your trainee period."

"In this month, you will clock in at eight o'clock every day and get off work at six o'clock. Of course, it's up to you to work overtime and the like. It's similar to practice life. Each of you will have a daily allowance, but it's not that much."

"So we can't use our own money?" Yoona asked curiously, raising her hands. To be honest, she was still a little dizzy now.

However, Li Menglong understood them and did not let them move freely. To be honest, they were used to the company assigning a goal and then working hard for it. It was a bit difficult for them to choose something by themselves.

"That's for sure. In this space, you can only use the funds we provide, including but not limited to eating, shopping, buying furniture, etc. If you can save it, you can take it away directly." Kim Jong Kook also brought He explained with a smile that he was really envious of these girls. Someone could create such a big battle to give them time to wake up.

"In the next six months, you will have the opportunity and right to learn, choose, and be free. You will try many things you have never thought of, and you will find that there are so many things you can do." Li Menglong said The words are extremely sincere: "I sincerely hope that this period of life can be of benefit to your future life. Even if I can help you a little bit when you are confused, I will be satisfied."

Seeing the sincere way Li Menglong nodded to them, the girls stood up one by one. Regardless of whether they were familiar with each other or whether it would be helpful, at least Li Menglong's sincerity was enough to move them. In this utilitarian circle, There are not too many examples of people turning against each other, but there are too few examples of help without asking for anything in return.

Director Luo has already taken the shot himself. This scene is really touching. Li Menglong stood in the middle and looked at the girls one by one with emotion, while each of the girls silently bent down after looking at him. Waist, to put it bluntly, it is really a great kindness that cannot be repaid.

Fortunately, Li Menglong instinctively rejected similar scenarios. He even made preparations in advance to prevent this. He just happened to bring it out now to give the girls a big surprise: "Keep your words of thanks in your heart. There are things to learn in the next month." Quite a few, it’s best to turn your gratitude into motivation.”

"Then what can we do if we can't learn?"

"That's a good question. If you can't learn it, you'll be hungry. We will organize a test every morning to see everyone's learning results. Everyone will receive the day's living expenses based on this ranking." Li Menglong looked at everyone's curious looks and simply asked It’s all said: “There is no specific ranking, but three groups ABC. The first group has 50,000 each, the second group has 30,000, and the third group has 10,000. You will not starve to death. of."

"Ten thousand? That's the price of a fried noodle set, right?" Yoona muttered below, and they didn't necessarily have to eat here a few times a day. Why would ten thousand be enough?

It’s just that things are much worse than Yoona thought. From the toothpaste and soap in the bathroom to the tables and chairs for them to rest, they all have to buy them with their own money. Even the water has to be paid for. These people Aren't you attracted by money?

This rule was specially discussed by Director Luo and Li Menglong. It can be said that the flexibility is not too big. It is very convenient for the program team to indirectly guide the direction of the program. In this way, the program will not appear disorderly, not to mention the need to study every day. The content is also formulated by them.

"Because today is the first day, everyone can come and get the 20,000 yuan by themselves. Feel free to buy whatever you want. There is a supermarket next to us, and it is specially opened for you. It is absolutely affordable!" Director Luo looked mean at the side. He added awkwardly, he liked seeing the mournful expressions of the guests, it was inexplicably refreshing.

"Stop complaining. At least in the first month, you have no reason to complain. Or would you have complained to the teachers when you were a trainee?" Li Menglong clapped his hands and motioned for everyone to look at him: "And on the first day, Learning is naturally simpler. Taking into account your specialties, today’s learning content is a new song.”

"How long has it been since you have carefully practiced other people's dances and songs? Correct your mentality. Today's practice will determine the quality of your life tomorrow. Friendly reminder, money is very important here. Don't borrow money randomly. , The other party may not be able to afford it!" Liu Zaishi said with a smile: "Then let's invite our teacher today. I heard that Li Menglong specially invited him."

Without saying a word, Li Menglong raised his fist and hit Liu Zaishi. Anyway, this program has no taboos and it is not a live program. However, some exciting clips will be edited every day, especially the girls' exams, and on weekends, they will be broadcast on MBC It plays a complete cut version of the week and has a fairly complete playback mechanism. Of course, it is not impossible to consider occasionally live broadcasting for a day or two in the future. This program is so free.

The three MCs had already gone to the corner to fight, and the girls had to fend for themselves. Fortunately, they were all veterans of shows, and there was no such thing as stage fright, so they pulled their necks and shouted: "Teachers, come out, we will definitely I will study hard, I, Lee Soon Kyu, have a surprisingly good attitude!”

But a funny scene soon appeared. The girls looked at the trio in front of them blankly, not quite understanding what they were doing. As for the three teachers, they almost didn’t know where to put their hands, and they were all twitching. It's amazing, after all, the people standing in front of them are their role models when they were trainees, including now.

Zheng Enji, the most courageous among the three, bowed to the group of people and said hello. Of course, he had already begun to scold Li Menglong in his heart. He received a call from him two days ago saying that he had something to help. Of course, he would not refuse. Well, to put it harshly, many people couldn't find a chance to help, not to mention that she also owed Li Menglong a lot of favors.

It's just that if she had known it in advance, she would really have chosen not to come. Even if she had offended Li Menglong, there was still a chance to make amends. But now, didn't this directly force her to die? The gap between her and the group of people in front of her was all-round.

Regardless of her debut time, the number of hit songs, or her status in the girl group, she can be said to be a primary school student in front of these people. As a result, she, a primary school student, now has to teach each other songs and dances, or songs of their own group. Isn't this a big show in front of Guan Gong?

It would be much more comfortable if they could switch their identities. After all, they have all practiced the dances of these four groups, but it is too late to say anything now. Next to them, Hyeri from Girls Day and Seolhyun from AOA are obviously similar to her. They were all fooled here, and they didn’t know exactly what to do until they entered the venue.

"Why are you standing there? Hurry up and divide into three groups and study with the teachers. We will come to check and accept it early tomorrow morning." Li Menglong only dared to speak from a distance. Who knows if these people will want to kill him now: "As for the scoring team, we are looking for the most professional people. To put it simply, there will be people like Lee Soo Man, Park Jin Young, and Lee Hyori. Just take it easy. I don't know if they will give you face."

Now the girls have recognized the reality. It is obvious that this is a trap, and they have to jump into it: "Please take care of me in the next day, and don't hide anything!"

Seeing a group of seniors bowing and saying hello to them, Zheng Endi really felt like she was going to cry. Should she kneel on the ground and thank them now? Otherwise, their fans wouldn’t tear themselves apart the next day, right? But she must tell everyone the truth before she dies. The culprit is Li Menglong...
