The Rise of Korean Entertainment

It's rare that everyone can go out together again. Some time ago, because Li Menglong always wanted the cat to look for inspiration at home, the girls went to work by themselves. Now this excuse obviously doesn't work anymore. It's Seohyun who looks for inspiration. Very good.

To be precise, Li Menglong just wanted to win the filming rights of Seohyun's script. In fact, if he said this from the beginning, everyone would understand a lot. No one blames him for not making it clear. Seohyun's plan was that he would not know the script. It's ready to be signed, it can be directly regarded as Li Menglong's work.

As a result, everyone was so embarrassed. It’s not that serious for Seohyun to give up a chance to direct. Although the script is Seohyun’s own, being able to write it doesn’t mean it can be filmed, just like a songwriter may not be able to Singing is average.

So now Xu Xian is quite happy, because this is a fairly equal cooperation between her and Li Menglong. As the owner of the script, she is also the first writer, and Li Menglong is her script assistant. Of course, when it comes to filming It was about to change, she was going to be Li Menglong's follower.

But she is quite satisfied. Xu Xian has always thought that she still has a lot to learn. In fact, she has always had a small dream in her heart, that is, the first work should not use the company's funds as much as possible.

Because in that case, there would always be some suspicion of being taken care of. Xu Xian has also reached the youthful rebellious stage where she wants to prove herself, but because she is too sensible, she did not say it directly because she knew that it was everyone's concern for her. You can't just refuse without courtesy.

In this case, she has to rely entirely on her own level, and she undoubtedly has a fairly accurate understanding of her own level, which is still far behind. After all, she is only in her early twenties, and the crew has barely followed Li Menglong for two years. However, there is still some distance between me and guiding alone.

Fortunately, Seohyun didn't feel discouraged. To be honest, Seohyun would be quite satisfied if she could produce her own work before she was thirty or even thirty-five. If it were too early, she would undoubtedly be suspected of being praised. , and even make everyone look at her with colored glasses.

So the rhythm is just right now, and she feels completely at ease when handing over her script to Li Menglong, not to mention that she will follow the team throughout the process. Watching her creativity turn into shots, the sense of accomplishment is very intoxicating. .

"Hey, what are you doing? Get in the car and why are you staring at Yoona's butt?" Kim Taeyeon, who was finishing the last step, pushed Seohyun: "If you're curious about the feel, just go up and touch it. I need some teaching from Unnie. You?"

"Ah, Kim Taeyeon, what are you teaching here!"

"Huh? Lin Yuner, you are really brave. Who can make room for me in the back? Today I want to be intimate with our second youngest!" Kim Taeyeon clenched her fists and rushed in. As for Seohyun Then he woke up from his sweet dream.

She glanced at Li Menglong with a slightly guilty look, as if he hadn't noticed this. Xu Xian couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief, but she relaxed a little early: "Xiao Xian can take some time away from the show recently. Yes, we should perfect the script as soon as possible. Li Enxi is already pushing her hard. Let’s have a meeting tonight or tomorrow. You and her can talk directly. After all, she is also an investor!"

"Ah?" Xu Xian's whole body stiffened instantly, because she had been relying on Li Menglong recently, so she was very aware of the pressure he was under. If it was serious, Li Enxi almost came over with a knife to urge him, saying To be honest, Xu Xian wouldn't be surprised at all if he came to kill him one day.

As a result, now Mo Miao's wonderful pressure will be transferred to himself? It makes sense. After all, Li Menglong has changed from the script and director to a pure director. Since as a director, he naturally has the right to urge the script, but why is there a faint feeling of gloating?

"Wow, investors, you sound so high-ranking. Our maknae has really grown up, and we can go directly to negotiate with investors!" Li Shunkyu looked like an old mother, and of course he didn't forget to encourage him. Turning to his little daughter: "Although Ernie doesn't understand much, don't forget one thing. You must speak loudly. Whether it's investment or the cost of your script, you must fight to the death. You can't suffer a loss!"

"Are you stupid? The company doesn't belong to your family, right?" Hyoyeon from behind kicked the back of the chair, but Li Soonkyu didn't take it seriously. To be honest, everyone sitting here is considered a shareholder, so when it comes to dividing money Why don't you see them being polite to you?

At this time, you should stand by your own people unconditionally. Besides, Xu Xian is so thin-skinned. What if he is deceived by that evil bitch Li Eun Xi? The more I think about it, the more likely it becomes: "When Xiao Xian went over to negotiate, he talked to Ernie in advance. We said, I will give you some advice when the time comes. Li Menglong, what is the price of your script? Is it one billion?"

"One billion? How about you help me talk to Li Enxi? I'll give her as much as she wants for one billion per script!" Li Menglong complained speechlessly: "Aren't my director and script always included in the final dividend? Well, the company is very stingy!"

This was because Li Menglong was being cautious. If the company didn't have much money to pay him at the beginning, there would be no need for it later on. But the main reason was that they didn't know how much to pay him. After all, it's boring to switch from left to right.

So just take the dividends directly. This is also one of the privileges of a great director, but the girls obviously don't agree with this. Li Menglong will just accept the loss, but Xu Xian can't do it, they They only accept cash. This can be regarded as the professional instinct formed by being an idol.

So they all encouraged Xu Xian to sit down and raise the price. Anyway, it was SW Company that begged her, and she would not let up until she was given a billion. It was great that everyone would lose out, but Xu Xian just listened to these words, and didn't care at all. Take it to your heart.

After all, Xu Xian is just innocent and not stupid. Once she dares to ask for this price, she will be banned by the entire industry the next day, and it will be banned collectively by the film company, because why should she, a new screenwriter, get so much? Doesn’t this destroy the market balance?

So what Xu Xian is worried about is not money but pressure. She has seen all the torture Li Menglong has suffered during this period. Is the result now starting to be transferred to her? No wonder Li Menglong looked so relaxed, couldn't he be so guilty yesterday because of this?

Because the girls were all here, Xu Xian couldn't talk to Li Menglong anymore. She just gave him a look that said don't cheat me. She didn't know whether Li Menglong understood or not, but it seemed like he was probably pretending not to understand, this bastard Oppa!

Li Menglong's happiness can be seen even by strangers. It's not just a matter of his smile, but a kind of relaxation that radiates from the inside out. The girls behind him can't help but want to punch him. After a meal, it’s easy to just leave the blame to the maknae? Really not human!

But with so many people, let's give him some face, that is, Li Menglong can proudly release his relaxation in front of others. If he was in this state last night, the girl's dream would keep him awake all night.

Originally there was no need for him in this program, but today Director Luo actually took a day off. It seemed that there was a patient at home, so the assistant director was watching the scene. It was not too panicky, but there was no one who could hold the show. It’s true that everyone is not that at ease.

But it was different when Li Menglong came. The tense expressions of the staff immediately relaxed. After all, if there was any problem with him, someone would take care of it, and it was more convenient for Li Menglong to communicate with the artists.

The only thing worse than Director Luo is that he is not ruthless enough. He still needs to learn a lot on the way to trick guests. It's just that Li Menglong himself doesn't care very much. Does he need to move forward on this evil path? He is from the film industry, and variety shows have little to do with him!

"Did Oppa pick up the wallet? I can't close my mouth!" Park Zhiyan came over to say hello from a distance, but her words were full of ridicule, and of course more out of curiosity.

"Wallet? Hey, am I the kind of person whose emotions will be affected by money?" Li Menglong asked back, but what he received was a unanimous nod from the group of people opposite: "Ah, you guys have agreed to come over and give it to me." I’m adding to the problem, right? Hidden camera?”

"Hidden cameras also mean telling lies. Have you ever seen a hidden camera that tells the truth?" Li Shunkyu would not be polite to him. He said this as an affirmation: "You should control yourself today, be careful." Xian regrets it!"

"It won't happen, it's all decided, this child can't do it!" Li Menglong kept emphasizing, but the more he did, the more guilty he felt. If Xu Xian really regretted it, he would not be able to find a place to cry. of.

So he immediately rushed to Xu Xian and started to get close to him. Everyone was not surprised by his flattering state. Anyone who thought that Li Menglong was an upright person would definitely be deceived by him.

"Isn't Xiaoxian's schoolbag very heavy? Let me carry it for you!" Li Menglong came over and began to show his hospitality blindly. If it were an outsider, Xu Xian might still be a little shy, but Li Menglong didn't care. Anyway, what he said Just pretend you didn't hear it.

"Why don't you say anything? Are you thirsty? Drink some water?"

"You're not thirsty. Oppa can do something of his own. We're going to prepare a make-up recording for the show!" Xu Xian still spoke. He was really annoying, especially since the makeup artist beside him started laughing. It's so embarrassing.

"Me? I have nothing to do. My mission is to follow you. I will buy you whatever you want to eat!"

"Tch, is it okay to use my salary to serve others?" Li Shunkyu also walked in, naturally saying angrily.

Fortunately, Li Menglong didn't have too many ways to deal with this: "I'll bring you some food later, okay?"

"That's pretty much it. You know what I like to eat, right?" Li Shunkyu said with satisfaction, but looking at himself in the mirror, he always felt a little depraved: "Unnie, am I not in a good state today?"

Li Soonkyu turned his face to the makeup artist and asked, but Li Menglong was the first to answer: "The facts are all here, why are you making things difficult for others? Is this a question of whether you are in good condition or not? Look at that big face of yours, are you going to Look at Park Ji-yeon, uh..."

"Forget it Zhiyan, her face is not small. Look at Pu Soyan!" Li Menglong easily picked the objects to compare with. After all, there are not too many beauties here, especially those with small faces and delicate ones like Like a doll.

That's all for the usual complaints, but there are so many people here, why can't she save some face for Lee Soon Kyu? As a result, the dressing room quickly became lively, and of course the two protagonists driving the atmosphere were the two fighting on the spot.

He pressed the panting Lee Soon Kyu firmly on the chair, which was considered a bit more honest. Then Lee Menglong had time to ask: "What are you going to learn today? Acting skills?"

"Isn't this a showcase of our Yoona's specialties? Are you going to become a top student today?" Li Menglong rubbed Yoona's head and joked: "It's just that you all should have taken acting classes in the past, why are you trying here? Don't admit defeat. ?"

Li Menglong's words are a bit revealing. In fact, the ultimate dream of all idols is to become an acting idol. After all, the benefits are not too many, but this kind of thing requires talent, hard work and luck.

It is impossible to succeed in the entertainment industry if you have the ability, especially in the process of idols transforming into actors. A likeable second or even third female lead may instantly make people popular. As for those who have finished their roles There are many idols whose female lead is still tepid. Is this justified?

Of course, talent is also a necessary condition. Some people are really not suitable for acting. For example, Jung Soo-yeon, whose aura is too strong and her expressions are not rich enough; Kim Taeyeon is similar. She mainly has unqualified appearance. There is no doubt that she is beautiful, but she looks too childlike and can easily make the audience jump off the stage.

As for the people on set, it can be said that they are not short of resources, at least compared to many ordinary idols. Because of their popularity, they have more or less tried to play some roles, but they have not been very successful. That’s all.

People like Kim Taeyeon and Jung Soo-yeon have all played roles, but after trying it once, they may have given up, so they might as well just sing and become idols. Anyway, these days, it seems that they can still do it in their thirties and forties. As an idol.

It's just that you can think about the words in your mind but you can't say them out. After Li Menglong said this, who of you can have the nerve to admit that his acting skills are not good? In that case, let's compete today. We must use our acting skills to scare Li Menglong to death. .

"Wow, I'm so scared!" Li Menglong pretended to hug his shoulders: "In that case, I will be your judge today. My qualifications are barely enough, right?"

The girls really want to say that it is not enough, but if tens of millions of directors are not enough, who is qualified? But I always feel that Li Menglong will be at a disadvantage as a judge. If I had known earlier, I might as well have left him at home to continue writing scripts. Alas...
