The Rise of Korean Entertainment

"Huh? You're working overtime and hallucinating. Why do I see Kim Taeyeon here?"

One employee took off his eyes and rubbed his eyes, while his companion who heard him murmured without looking back: "Are you thinking shit, seeing too many pictures of them?"

"Is this an illusion? It's too real. Besides, I haven't seen Li Menglong's photo. Why does he appear here?"

"Who knows, I hate him so much. It is said that many people have nightmares about their boss."

The conversation between the two was very relaxed, and Kim Taeyeon couldn't help but nod her head, especially the last sentence, which made so much sense.

"Did you hear that? This is what everyone wants. You should restrain yourself from now on." Kim Taeyeon stepped up and patted his shoulder forcefully.

Faced with this level of complaints behind his back, Li Menglong remained unmoved. If he really wanted to pursue the case, then the company would not know how many people would be left.

But compared to the teasing of these two people, Seohyun and Yoona were obviously more concerned about the status of the people opposite them. Wouldn't they have been frightened out of their wits?

It's understandable when you think about it. I thought it was a hallucination before, but the next moment the hallucination became reality. No one could accept it.

Seeing that Li Menglong and Li Menglong had no intention of appeasing each other, Xu Xian could only take the initiative: "We just came over casually to take a look, what are you busy with?"

It is said that Xu Xian is really curious about their work. Why are their photos used?

As for Kim Taeyeon's previous vow to find out the moths, she didn't even say it herself.

Because she also knew that he was unreliable, she had better not be embarrassed and follow Xu Xian honestly. This little girl's attitude would be much more relaxed.

Obviously the other party felt the kindness released by Xu Xian, but they did not dare to completely let go. After all, this was considered to be complaining about Li Menglong in person.

Although complaining about the boss is one of the major topics among employees in private, it definitely does not include saying it in front of Li Menglong.

To a certain extent, Kim Taeyeon's idea was right. These people were caught on the spot, but it was not her, but Li Menglong.

As if sensing the fear of several people, Kim Taeyeon scratched her head and stood up.

She also has to bear part of the responsibility. If she could have spoken earlier, the people opposite would not have ended up like this.

Fortunately, she was quite responsible. She punched Li Menglong in the chest, then jumped up and hugged his neck forcefully: "We are all brothers. You can't be so stingy, right?"

Although he understands what Kim Taeyeon means, and Lee Mongryong does not mind cooperating, can't he be gentler?

"Okay, come on, hurry up. I didn't see this guy jumping up and down in a hurry."

After Li Menglong's words, the people across from him felt completely at ease, and turned to introduce their work to them.

Kim Taeyeon was confused when she heard this. From her understanding, it was these people who kept uploading their photos on the forum. What was this for?

To maintain the popularity of the forum? But it doesn’t make sense. Besides, these photos are not new and fans have all seen them.

Although she was very puzzled, Kim Taeyeon didn't say it out loud. She wanted to maintain her smart image and just waited for these people to continue explaining.

But why didn't those people on the opposite side speak? I looked around with my peripheral vision. It seemed that Xu Xian and Yoona were nodding frequently. Do you understand?

Kim Taeyeon extremely suspected that these two women were pretending. As the eldest sister, she had never taught them to pretend to understand. This was a bad habit!

But in this case, it was not easy for her to "expose" the two of them, so she could only poke Li Menglong's ribs with her elbow and ask in a voice as small as a mosquito: "Do you understand?"

This time, Li Menglong really didn't understand what Kim Taeyeon meant, and thought she was provoking, so he took a few steps back to the side quite rationally and distanced himself from her.

However, this action looked more like disgust in Kim Taeyeon's eyes, especially the look in her eyes, which contained nothing but contempt.

This made Kim Taeyeon feel very awkward, but she couldn't say it out yet, otherwise she would be the one who would be embarrassed.

So she could only use her smart mind to try to analyze something from it.

Kim Taeyeon's idea is also very simple. If there is no significant difference in IQ, is there any obvious difference between her and these three?

There are quite a few answers to this question. For example, the three people are all tall, eat well, and have good figures...

Although there is no direct answer, Kim Taeyeon is not discouraged. This is a good start. The next step is to narrow down the scope.

After rounds of screening, she really showed some skills.

Two of these three people are directors and one is a senior actress. Although she has some experience in filming, she is far behind compared to the three of them.

After contacting the shooting, a clue emerged.

The photos uploaded by this group of people are all about their daily style. To put it simply, what they wear in daily life is not particularly excessive.

This is quite important, after all, many of the costumes on stage are very weird, and it takes courage for them to wear them, let alone in private.

As far as she knew, most of the costumes in this movie required them to wear casual clothes.

Of course, this does not mean that they can wear whatever they want, even if it is daily style, but as long as they appear in the movie, they need to be carefully selected.

Now it seems to be a preliminary screening process.

Although fans don't know this yet, after all, it seems to be just a small event organized by the company to let fans choose their favorite photos.

The moment she came to this conclusion, Kim Taeyeon immediately shared it. She wanted everyone to feel her wisdom.

It's a pity that some of them don't seem to care about her at all, or does this kind of thing need to be shown off?

Kim Taeyeon, who was originally excited, suddenly felt a little depressed. She really wanted to find a place to lie down, but there was no fun here at all.

It's just that others don't think so. Seohyun and Yoona were very interested in this: "Oppa, are you very treacherous? You take advantage of our fans but don't give us any benefits?"

Faced with this accusation, Li Menglong refused to admit it: "Why did you take advantage of it? You deserve credit for organizing so many photos. Besides, the overtime pay of these people is also paid by the company. Are you going to ask for this money from your fans?"

"Don't start the conversation with me. What I'm saying is..."

Listening to the childish debate between the two, Xu Xian had no desire to participate at all. She just thought Li Menglong's skills were very beautiful.

In the perception of many directors and audiences, idols who transform into actors are actually not qualified, especially in terms of acting skills.

The reason why they are used is nothing more than coveting their popularity.

Xu Xian admitted this, and this is the fact.

Although there may be a few exceptions, the acting skills of the vast majority of idols are substandard. This is especially true after she became a director.

But how should I put it? This situation is taken for granted. After all, in their previous years of study and life, the proportion of acting skills was quite limited.

They debuted as singers, so it's really not normal for them to have bad acting skills.

This is not Seohyun making excuses for everyone. If the idols could keep singing and not change, there wouldn't be so many doubts.

But this is not because the industry is in recession. In order to develop better and conform to the market trend, they don't have much to do.

But there is one thing to say. After becoming actors, the idols are very dedicated in their attitudes and cherish the opportunities in front of them.

Whether you can find a suitable script and a suitable director depends a bit on fate.

When the acting skills are uncertain, how to better train the idols' acting skills and how to maximize the use of the idols' advantages is a science and it tests the director's skills.

In Xu Xian's eyes, Li Menglong has always done a good job in this regard.

Not to mention the conventional use of idol popularity for promotion, the current method is a bit like an antelope hanging its horns.

The appearance of actors is very important, which can be seen from the sky-high cost of costumes in many large-scale productions. However, the quality of the effect can only be known the moment it is released, so there is no place to regret it.

However, Li Menglong was trying to circumvent this. He used the girls' huge fan base and of course their considerable accumulation of photos to successfully conduct a preliminary screening.

This is very rare. After all, their fans will account for a huge proportion of the final movie audience. These people will be the audience who will buy tickets in the future.

The audience is allowed to choose the costumes and styles of the actors in advance. If this is revealed, it will probably shock a lot of people's jaws.

Of course, this kind of screening is only preliminary, and it will definitely be made by specialized costume designers in the future, but at least there is a standard for reference.

Maybe in the eyes of Kim Taeyeon, this kind of cleverness is not worth mentioning, but Seohyun and Yoona are knowledgeable, and they know how rare this is.

That's why Yoona is here to get some benefits for their fans. Li Menglong took a huge advantage.

Xu Xian watched all this silently, feeling a little wary in his heart.

Although she was still far behind Li Menglong on the path of directing, she once thought she had seen the end of the gap.

But now it seems that she is still naive. It is not just herself who is making progress, Li Menglong is also learning.

Looking at Li Menglong who was arguing with Yoona over there, she was very curious about where this person found time to study. Could it be that he was secretly working hard behind her back?

"Although I don't know what you are thinking, everything you are thinking is wrong!" Li Menglong said to Xu Xian very abruptly.

It's not that he can predict it, it's just that Xu Xian's little eyes are too complicated, especially the admiration in them that makes him very uncomfortable, so he can just keep it in his heart and don't need to show it.

After Seohyun explained on the side, Kim Taeyeon finally understood.

But she no longer had any thoughts of admiring Li Menglong. Instead, she stared at the photos selected by fans: "It seems that everyone is quite discerning?"

It's not embarrassing to say this. It seems to be praising the fans, but it is also vaguely praising herself.

Can she pick out a few ugly photos in this pile? I guess no matter what the fans choose, she will have the same attitude.

"Don't disturb other people's work here." As Li Menglong spoke, he forcibly dragged Kim Taeyeon out. The woman insisted on contributing more of her treasured photos.

"Now I'll call you a photographer to take some pictures on the spot?"

"That's not impossible. Should I go shopping for clothes now?"

Faced with such a shameless answer, Li Menglong was too lazy to respond and just threw it to Xu Xian. He went to the second floor to prepare for work.

Just facing these two women, Xu Xian was also confused for a while. She didn't even know why these two people were here.

"You think it's me who wants to come? He insists on asking me to come over and treat him to lunch. He also says that he doesn't have time and I have to wait here all the time. Why is he putting on airs?"

Yoona started a series of complaints, as if Li Menglong had done something heinous.

Judging from this incident alone, it is undoubtedly Li Menglong who is at fault. Although Yoona is not busy, her time is not wasted like this.

But as an absolute neutral in the dormitory, Xu Xian has a different view.

Because everything is consistent, it was Li Menglong who was wrong in this matter, but what about before? Or why would Yoona agree to such an excessive request?

It's not that she had the clue to fall into the other party's hands. If she wanted to thoroughly clarify the right and wrong of this kind of thing, Xu Xian would conservatively estimate that it would take several hours.

So now she turned directly to Kim Taeyeon. It couldn't be the same reason for this one, right?

"Tch, he dares to do this to me? He even invited me to dinner, and the table was turned over by him!" Kim Taeyeon said in an unusually domineering manner.

It's just that this kind of words will not help in shaping her image with Xu Xian. Just talk about the specific situation directly, and try to say as few words as possible.

Xu Xian automatically filtered out Kim Taeyeon's nonsense and finally caught the core of the other party's words. She was forced to come here by Li Menglong.

Although Xu Xian didn't know how Li Menglong did it, that's what he meant.

"Yeah, I wanted to go out for a walk myself. What does it have to do with Li Menglong? Don't put money on his face if it happens!"

Kim Taeyeon explained very vigilantly that this is a matter of principle. Anyone who asks must emphasize this point. She, Kim Taeyeon, is so strong!

Faced with this situation, Xu Xian naturally followed the good deeds. It was just about saving face, so just give it to her.

"Then what will Ernie do next? Do you want to go back now?"

Xu Xian has not forgotten her original intention. She has to arrange for these two women.

But this question was asked to Kim Taeyeon, and she didn't think about what she wanted to do.

Logically speaking, she should go back, but she felt quite disadvantaged when she went back so far without doing anything.

"No, I want to have lunch together, otherwise what will happen if Li Menglong bullies Yoona? I'm going to support her!"

Faced with Kim Taeyeon's statement, Seohyun automatically summed it up into two words: cheating!
