The Rise of Korean Entertainment

Lee Soon Kyu is already numb. Based on her understanding of Lee Mong Ryong, especially Director Luo and Yoo Jae Suk, does she think she can consider retiring? Otherwise, it is easy to be tortured to death during this period.

Learning the dance of juniors is inherently a bit embarrassing, at least Lee Soon Kyu thinks so. Although he usually pays attention to newcomers' MVs, he only pays attention to them. There is no such thing as extracting the essence, because They are the best, and they still have some confidence.

But today this little routine was broken. Since you can't resist, just obey. Li Menglong has exhausted his contacts. In addition to the four groups of people at the scene, these three active female idols are the ones Li Menglong is familiar with. Come on.

As the leaders of the three-generation girl group, the development of the three groups can be considered smooth, but that is without comparing with the opposite group. Let’s not talk about this bug of the girls, even if it is the other groups. A skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

To be honest, Zheng Eunji was still a little happy in her heart. It was not that she was too gloomy, but she stubbornly believed that the success of idols was inseparable from luck. She had not had the opportunity to test the hard power of these seniors before, but Today I can finally verify it.

Zheng Eunji recruited team members relatively quickly because this girl has a cheerful personality and has a good relationship with Lee Soonkyu and others. So under the leadership of Lee Soonkyu, Hyomin took Eunjung with her, and the karaoke Han Seungyeon on the other side was with the captain. She walked over, and together with Yuli and Hyoyeon who she brought with her, the seven people quickly gathered together.

As for the practice areas, they are all ready. There are three specially decorated practice rooms in the surrounding small rooms. Of course, don’t expect too much, because it is just an extra mirror wall and speakers. The trick is the speakers. They also have to spend money to rent it themselves.

"Are you really crazy? This costs money?" Li Shunkyu was really angry: "Do you want to charge some breathing tax? Anyway, the air here belongs to you!"

While talking, Li Soonkyu secretly handed someone a message to the back. They have been sisters and friends for many years, and the division of labor was completed almost immediately. Hyomin and others came over to stop Lee Soonkyu who was about to take action, while Hyoyeon led other people and the program team to pressure.

In the end, they successfully rented it at half the price. Although the rent per day was only 10,000 yuan, each of them only paid 20,000 yuan per day. Save as much as you can. They haven't been this poor in many years.

They originally planned to practice directly, but who knew that the fried noodles ordered by the staff over there came over. Now everyone could not think about practicing dancing. The smell of various foods was on the tip of their noses. This was definitely a premeditated attempt to seduce them into committing a crime.

But people don’t persevere like that. They knew it was a trap but still jumped in without hesitation. After spending an average of 5,000 yuan per person, everyone was finally satisfied. They also pooled their money to buy a few barrels of pure water and that was when the practice officially started. , of course there is no water dispenser, they actually need to carry buckets and pour water by themselves. It was not so hard during the trainee period.

"Then I might be a little offended." Zheng Eunji said hello first carefully. This was also addressed to the audience in front of the camera. She was dedicated to serving the public and did not intentionally get angry at her seniors. .

As for the reason for her anger, she expected that everyone was not practicing seriously or their movements were not standard. To be honest, she was ready to make a bad face. After all, if she compared her feelings with others, she would be able to take on the identity of the girls. A little more casual.

But reality gave Zheng Eunji a heavy punch. First, he watched the complete MV, and then danced it again in slow motion with Zheng Eunji. By the third time, except for the formation, which could not be changed, everyone already had the same look. .

Although their dance is indeed not difficult, don't they learn it too quickly? What surprised her even more was what came next. She had originally planned to come up with some detailed suggestions, but who knew that under the leadership of Li Shunkyu, they actually started to hold meetings on their own.

Because everyone is from the group, everyone knows that the voice of the team needs to be unified, otherwise the public opinion is right and it will end up in serious trouble. Lee Soon Kyu originally thought of letting Park Gyu Ri be the temporary captain. After all, this is what he does in the first place. She is one year older.

But the people here are generally more familiar with Lee Soon-kyu, so Lee Soon-kyu is no longer polite after being humble. As for never being the captain? It's not that she, Lee Soon Kyu, is bragging. Is there anything like being a captain to show off? In other words, Kim Taeyeon uses this status to show off her power.

One of the captain's responsibilities is to play bad, which is very important, so when everyone was a little proud and relaxed, she directly started to name and criticize, and then there was a wave of collective reflection on the details.

There was no room for Zheng Eunji to participate in the whole process. When the next practice came, the girls had already begun to carefully carve out the angles of each movement. This is how the sword dance group came about.

Of course it wasn't so rigorous originally. To be honest, the slower dance has an extra flavor, but this is a competition between three groups of people. Not to mention the face involved, what's more important is the actual money, 50,000 yuan. It’s enough for them to be smart tomorrow. Zhajiang noodles can be added with a plate of sweet and sour pork!

Therefore, driven by money, the girls collectively burst out with great enthusiasm, and Zheng Eunji also got rid of the initial scrutinizing mentality and began to study wholeheartedly. Their popularity and success are really inseparable from the hard work behind them. of.

Li Menglong took a short walk outside each room and then went to find a place to drink with Liu Zaishi. The three of them would not stay here every day. They would only participate when the streamlined version was played every week.

Of course, the daily assessment also requires someone to be present, so the three of them arranged a temporary shift, or even asked a friend to come over when they were very busy. After all, the protagonists of this show are girls, and the three of them are not even considered as green leaves. Yes, it's just mud.

"Don't waste this show on your hands in the end. Innovation is good, but will it continue to be broadcast like this? Where is the laughter?" Liu Zaishi persuaded him earnestly.

"Don't stick to your old ways. You don't have to roll in the mud twice to be funny!" Li Menglong put on his airs at this time: "You are ugly, so you can only use your way to be funny and attractive." Audience, but do they need it?”

"It's just that these people are watching their live broadcasts even while sleeping. It's not like you don't know how popular these people are!" Li Menglong said very easily, not to mention that Director Luo was on hand to escort him. He is famous for his skills. Discover the hidden brilliance in the ordinary.

Besides, the daily study, assessment and even making and spending money, aren’t these the point of laughter? The girls are all used to doing variety shows. Even if there is no script, they will laugh at each other subconsciously.

"That's okay, but you're going to film this show for half a year? Are you just going to let them come here to clock in and go to work?" This time it was Kim Jong Kook's turn to ask.

Li Menglong looked at these two people suspiciously. When did they care so much about the development of the company? If he didn't know their personalities, Li Menglong would have thought that they were spies sent by other companies.

"I just agree. Can Li Enxi agree? Do you know how much money these four groups of people can make if they use full power for half a year? It can't be compared to the two of you if they are put together dozens of times!" Li Menglong said this It’s no exaggeration. After all, idols themselves are a terrifying profession that attracts money, not to mention four groups of big gold mines!

"So there will still be follow-up plans, and there are many. After this month, they will enter a professional state!" Li Menglong said about his slightly grand plan: "Our initial plan is to have an album and a music video. A short drama with at least three episodes that will be officially released and broadcast."

"Is this any different from them just releasing an album?"

"The difference is that all the work must be done by themselves. Listen clearly, I mean all the work that can be done!" Li Menglong's smile made Jin Zhongguo shudder. How much will all this work include?

Let’s not talk about the professional roles of singers and actors. There is some hope that everyone can come together to write songs, scripts, directors, etc., but it sounds like there are more than that. Could it be that the crew’s cameramen, post-editors, etc. Do they have to do the on-site drama management themselves?

"Hey, there are other album style plans, specific sales plans, TV series promotions and even cost accounting, what else can we do!" Li Menglong finally showed his fox tail.

Now the two people opposite gave a thumbs up. Not to mention whether these works would be successful in the end, Li Menglong's intention alone was enough to be admired, and of course Li Enxi's courage and vision.

This kind of work is equivalent to being warmed up throughout the whole process. There must be many fans or curious viewers who are willing to pay in the end, because everyone not only values ​​the works themselves, but also the more than 20 girls behind them for months. of contribution.

Of course, there is one thing that Li Menglong didn't mention. Li Eunxi insists on forcing him to make another movie, and it is estimated that it will have to be done within this period of time, and the final grand ending of the show is indispensable. In short, these girls are preparing to live in this half-year In dire straits.

But the benefits are also obvious. Being exposed to so many jobs in the entertainment industry will be beneficial to their growth. As for how much they can gain in the end, it depends on their own understanding. Li Menglong can only do so much.

The drinking parties of the three brothers have always been lengthy, because chatting takes up most of the time. They chatted all afternoon and took a nap before going back to their respective homes. That's right, they didn't talk at all. Plan to go back again.

But Li Menglong had to come over because he had to take the girls home. Although he said he wanted to be more independent here, it wasn't illegal to take a taxi on the way to work, and Li Menglong Quan was just a temporary driver who came to make money.

It's already past seven o'clock at night, but the place is still a scene of bright lights. Because the filming crew has the support of MBC, there are quite enough manpower here. With the addition of many automatic camera positions, it will be even easier.

It was better in the morning, but now at night, the total number of staff members is equal to the number of guests. I have to say that there is a slight ridicule: "Why aren't you getting off work yet? Is there a leader coming to inspect?"

The staff member curled his lips, the so-called leader could not be referring to himself, right? To be honest, no one is really afraid of Li Menglong, at least Li Menglong is so peaceful now: "The guests haven't left yet. We can't just go in and collect the equipment, right?"

"Still practicing?" Li Menglong was also stunned for a moment: "How many are left?"

Li Menglong's question is correct. After all, singing and dancing are their jobs. In theory, it would be enough for them to practice a song for one or two hours, but now it has been a whole day, and this is all they need. Working late at night?

"To be precise, everyone is still here except Min Xianyi who has to go home to take care of the children temporarily. And depending on the time, she will be back soon!"

Now Li Menglong felt that he would have left early. Although this aroused everyone's anger for some reason, he was definitely an unpopular person anyway. On his head.

It's just that it's easier to leave than to leave. After being seen by the sharp-eyed Xiaomin, Li Menglong was immediately taken in. After a rough look, these girls looked like they had just been caught in the rain, and there were many on the ground beside them. Wearing wet clothes, we could see that everyone was working hard.

"Well, this is just the first day, don't take it so seriously!" Li Menglong said cautiously. After noticing the unkind eyes of the girls, he immediately changed his tone: "But with your sense of responsibility, you must do your best. , If nothing else, I will definitely vote for your group to be number one tomorrow!"

This sounds much more pleasant to the ears. The key to verbal encouragement is that there are actual rewards. However, they probably don’t know that he, Li Menglong, will not be the judge tomorrow. After all, it makes sense if you think about it. He is the only one. What can an outsider comment on? Isn’t it just a favor?

Fortunately, no one showed up at the scene to expose him, and the girls' dinner was also delivered at this time. Everyone still had their own meal at noon, but in the evening, everyone pooled the money together. You can't watch some people go hungry, right?

The more embarrassing thing is Zheng Eunji. As a teacher, she is naturally not subject to restrictions. Although she is still in the rookie stage, she can already make some money as her fame increases. At least when she orders fried noodles, it comes with it. Order more fried dumplings, sweet and sour pork and the like.

But now these are the root of all evil. In the end, the seven girls only managed to scrape together the money for six bowls of noodles. In comparison, she felt like dying. Should she eat or not eat?

Fortunately, there was a villain at the scene who could take advantage of him. Zheng Endi quickly pushed the food to Li Menglong: "Oppa, I'm not hungry yet, so I'll treat you to these!"

This was extremely against her will. After all, she had been sweating profusely this afternoon, and even had to dance with her tomorrow, so she was so hungry that her chest was pressed against her back. But if she was hungry, she could go to eat midnight snacks. If you eat this meal now, you may not have the chance to eat in the future.

The ball was kicked to Li Menglong. If the girls were still reserved about their status as seniors when the food was in Zheng Eunji, then there was no need to be polite to Li Menglong, especially if there happened to be a shortage of one, it would be difficult for everyone to share.

Li Menglong was in a dilemma...
