The Rise of Korean Entertainment

How should I describe the relationship between Lee Soon Kyu and Lee Soo Man? From the perspective of family members, it does not seem that close, which is understandable. They may not have a good relationship with their biological parents, let alone just a biological uncle.

But in general, it is from the perspective of relatives. I dare not say anything else. Even if a new trainee artist pleases Li Xiuman, can he be kissed by his own niece? As for the so-called care for Lee Soon Kyu, he really did almost nothing.

But again, there are many things that Lee Soo Man doesn’t do but the people below will just watch? So even though Lee Soon Kyu has always insisted that she received very little care, why not say that she received very little bullying or difficulty?

As for variety show resources, solos, etc., it seems that Lee Soon Kyu has given up a lot of opportunities, but this is Lee Soo Man's wisdom. Once the relationship is exposed, and Lee Soon Kyu receives a lot of support similar to Yoona, fans will not ask Due to specific reasons, his fans can criticize Lee Soon Kyu for being unable to take care of himself.

So it’s better to keep silent and make a fortune. Even if YoonA and Kim Taeyeon earn more, they still have to endure a lot of hard work. And seriously speaking, Lee Soon Kyu may not earn less. Maybe it’s in the contract. There was something fishy about it, or maybe Li Xiuman secretly gave her some bonuses every year.

In short, Lee Soon Kyu is still living comfortably enough in S*M. At least she has hardly experienced any difficulties in some circles. She even enjoys some benefits with the girls. Moreover, her personality is so cheerful, and slowly... No one pays attention to this anymore.

But the blood relationship is really undeniable. This is why even if the other party hates Li Menglong, he still has to accept him. As for the reason for the dislike, it is not complicated. He, Li Xiuman, hates everyone who takes advantage of him. Especially if Li Menglong doesn’t take advantage too much!

"Do I follow Li Shungui and call you uncle?" Li Menglong said very familiarly. As for being a generation shorter, he didn't care. Anyway, we didn't come here to discuss business, so there was no question of whether he would suffer a loss or not.

"Forget it. This is a public place in the company. Let's just call each other President Li!" Li Xiu said with a smile. When SW can be merged into s*m, maybe he will Falling in love with Li Menglong.

"As you like!" Li Menglong said very politely: "I came here mainly because I haven't seen you for a long time. Li Shunkyu also misses you. She doesn't have many relatives here, so you see? Let’s make an appointment for dinner together when you are free someday!”

Lee Mong-ryong is forcibly selling his wife. Lee Soon-gyu doesn't hate eating with Lee Soo-man, but it does make him uncomfortable. After all, he used to be quite afraid of this uncle, and it was difficult to find the warmth of family.

He knew clearly that Li Menglong was making nonsense here, but Li Xiuman still nodded. After all, the older people get, the more they like children. Li Shunkyu is also very popular with the elderly: "Okay, you can also let her sit at home when she has nothing to do. I’m not at home during the day, so I might as well chat with his aunt.”

The pleasantries between the two of them ended here, mainly because Li Xiuman was also very busy and had no time to chat with Li Menglong: "Is there something going on this time? You didn't say anything on the phone, is it because the company is short of cash flow? "

Li Menglong didn't know what expression to show after hearing this. The main reason was that this uncle was a little utilitarian. Despite asking so warmly, if he was really short of money, would Lee Soo Man borrow the loan in vain? It's not just about equity mortgage, it's even possible that he might eventually become the owner of SW. He's an old fox.

"It's not bad, I'll be able to hold on for a while!" Li Menglong stopped talking in circles: "I'm here mainly because the company is preparing to release a new movie..."

"Lack of actors? I do have a few good talents here, but the schedule needs to be reconsidered. But if you can let s*m also participate in the investment and production, I can guarantee you that any artist in the company will be your favorite. You can pull it over!" Li Xiuman dug another big hole for Li Menglong to jump into.

As we all know, movies are the most profitable. Of course, this does not mean that cultivating idols is not profitable, but compared to movies, it is just hard money, and the risks are high, the cycle is long, and there is a little more uncertainty.

And s*m is one of the most famous star-making factories. Is it because they are unwilling to make movies? Of course not, and I can’t say whether it’s because of the conflict. In short, s*m tried to enter the field of movies and TV series several times, but all failed and the losses were a mess.

As for the tricks here, it’s even more complicated. To put it simply, it’s not that s*m’s abilities are insufficient, but that the circle itself is repelling their entry. After all, it’s okay for small companies to develop slowly. This kind of industry itself has huge potential. If entertainment companies with capital and experience enter the market, they are here to eat people!

So now Lee Soo Man's meaning is very obvious. He wants to take advantage of SW's success and try again. Anyway, if you make the best profit, you will lose if you lose. You can still afford the loss of investing in a movie.

Although Li Menglong doesn't mind being a fool and even respects his uncle, can he not have such a big appetite? Even if he could agree to it, Li Enxi wouldn't do it. SW was keeping a close eye on this project, and they were counting on it for the next year's year-end bonus.

Afraid that Li Xiuman would come up with some big plans again, Li Menglong hurriedly stated the purpose of his visit: "The movie is barely a semi-autobiographical model of girls, so I want to come to you to learn about it on the spot. It would be best if I can talk to the teachers and classmates who were girls back then." Let’s communicate with the batch trainees. Of course, if you are willing to talk, I would also welcome it!”

After saying this, Li Xiuman's expression became colder to the naked eye. Do you need to come to him specifically for such a trivial matter? Also, Girls’ Generation’s movie needs s*m to support it. Why don’t you give some of the money Girls’ Generation earns to the company?

Of course, these words should not be said out loud. It would make him, Li Xiuman, look too incompetent. Talking about Potian was just a small favor that he could help. Although he felt a little knotty in his heart, he did not deliberately make things difficult and asked his secretary to accompany Li Menglong. If you go to find someone, he won't accompany you!

It seems to be a very simple thing, but in fact not many people can do it. Li Menglong relied on his personal identity and SW background to get the opportunity to talk to Li Xiuman on an equal footing. How about trying it with someone from a small company?

But there is no need for him, Li Menglong, to consider these things. If he can't get into Lee Soo Man's door based on his identity, he will shamelessly bring Lee Soon Kyu with him. Anyway, the movie is made for them. If he doesn't make some efforts, ?

Although he said he was looking for someone, he was forced to visit s*m's new company by his secretary. How should I describe it specifically? I can only say that he has the background of an old and large company. Don't look at sw in the past two years. It may look much better than the other party on the financial statements.

But in terms of the background alone, it is quite different. Not to mention that the new building of s*m was purchased from land and built from scratch. With such a building, one can imagine the honor for the employees. How much the feeling will be improved.

But it’s just a look. It’s impossible to be envious. You have to know that SW can definitely change to a larger and more upscale office location, but it would rather move some departments out than change locations, let alone move the boss’s wife. The first floor was annexed.

Sw relatively speaking has a touch of human touch, which is reflected in all aspects of details. Although it can’t be seen as having any effect for the time being, at least everyone is happy enough to work. Even if they work overtime until midnight, they will still have a hot fried food. Chickens are edible.

So I can only say that a golden nest and a silver nest are not as good as your own straw nest. I briefly talked to the little secretary and said that it is quite convenient to have a secretary. It is not like the various streaking in SW. What is going on with Li Enxi? They all answer the phone in person, which is quite price-depressing. Of course, it can be said that they are friendly to the people.

Li Menglong's goal is relatively clear. Although the script has been written by Xu Xian, he can also understand various details with the parties involved, but after all, different people will bring different perspectives, and many things are completely different in their eyes and in the eyes of others. .

Therefore, in order to be more responsible for this work, Li Menglong came over. The idol industry is still updating very fast, but relatively speaking, the jobs behind the scenes have become much more stable. Many teachers who taught girls back then are still able to Find.

However, after chatting, Li Menglong was still a little disappointed, but it was completely understandable. After all, the girls were just a group of trainees at the beginning, not even key trainees. In the eyes of the teachers, they were just an ordinary group. student.

Therefore, many important things in the memories of the girls are dispensable events in the eyes of the teachers. The girls can still remember all kinds of details at that time, but the teachers might not be able to think about it if Li Menglong hadn't mentioned it. Woke up.

As for trainees in the same batch as the girls, it is even harder to find. There are too few examples of people like Park So-yeon who can succeed in other groups after leaving. Most of them are returning to ordinary people's lives. Li Menglong strangely felt that he should talk to these people, even if they no longer remembered anything.

In addition to some video materials in s*m, the only success was to arrange a meal for Lee Soon Kyu and her uncle. I don’t know if Lee Soon Kyu would thank him. I returned home with nothing. The girls had already left work early. .

"So early today? What's going on? Are you taking half a day off early for Women's Day?" Li Menglong asked curiously.

"We are not women. Please pay attention to your wording. We will always be girls!" Kim Taeyeon kindly reminded Li Menglong: "Everyone is out of shape today, so Director Luo gave us a day off in advance."

"Oh, that makes sense!" Li Menglong nodded understandingly. After all, this plan involves more than one or two people, and everyone needs some time to consider and accept it: "Is there anything you need my help with?"

"Don't dare. President Li Eun-hee came over to say hello to us this afternoon and told us not to disturb you. He said that you are working hard for the future of the company. By the way, where are you working hard today?" Kim Taeyeon said clearly. Just being angry makes them seem to only make trouble unreasonably.

"Today, I mainly want to inquire about your background information, but are you not good enough? There are not many people there who still remember you!" Li Menglong didn't hide anything, there was no need to say anything.

Girls still feel a little sad whenever they talk about s*m. After all, they have struggled for so many years. To be honest, they want to advance and retreat with the company. Who doesn't want to end up with it, but this is the reality. The helplessness.

Even according to Xiao Jingshu’s private disclosure, S*M has fully warned its idols in private not to talk about anything about Girls’ Generation when they go out to face the media, as the company has never had this group.

To be honest, although the girls are very popular, they are not that much inferior without their s*m. It can only be said that each of them has some small regrets: "What are you doing there? If you want to ask anything, just ask us. alright."

"Then I'm really asking. You have to tell the truth, not embellish it!"

"These are all trivial things. What else can we hide? When we were a trainee, Jessica secretly had an affair with other trainees. Now that I think about it, she was really brave. If she was found out, she would I can’t debut anymore!” Kim Taeyeon revealed.

"Where is it? Don't talk nonsense here, it's nothing!"

"Hey, you still don't admit it? I saw it when you secretly sent text messages with her, don't be embarrassed, Director Li Menglong and Li want to hear the truth!"

"There's no need for you to tell me, I have a mouth myself!"

Seeing that the topic was about to get out of control, Lee Menglong had no choice but to step in and pull them back: "As I learned this afternoon, your last project when Girls' Generation debuted had a total of eleven people, and that didn't include Lee Soon Kyu. .”

"Well, that's what I said. We were already taking makeup photos, but in the end something happened to the company's upper management, and our debut plan was postponed a bit!" Kim Taeyeon nodded affirmatively. She said these things happened at the beginning Still understand a little bit.

After practicing for so long, I was about to make my debut. This was a big event worthy of everyone's celebration. However, I was hit hard by the company. For the girls who were not very mature at that time, this blow was really enough to remember for a lifetime. Yes, except for Lee Soon Kyu, everyone at the scene showed a worried expression. They couldn't help but sigh when they thought about it. It was not a good time, after all, there was hope just now.

"What's going on with those three people? I probably know something about Park So-yeon, but what about the other two? Do you still have contact with each other?"

This question really brought the girls back to that time together, but it still took everyone to piece it together to restore the general idea: "At that time, the maknae was not the maknae, and the youngest was Huanxi, who was older than Seohyun. One month younger!”

"When you say that, I can remember that kid. He was still trained according to the standards of a lead singer. Maybe if he really debuts, nothing will happen to him without you, Kim Taeyeon!"

"Then it's meaningless for you to say that. Wasn't the other Zhang Hazhen more beautiful at the time? If she debuted, Yoona wouldn't be able to become an actress?"

"I have confidence in myself..."
