The Rise of Korean Entertainment

"No! I, Lin Yuner, am born with pride and cannot learn to bend down!"

This was the answer given by Yoona, which once made Li Menglong think that there was a new person in front of him.

Otherwise, based on his understanding of Yoona, this is not something she can say.

Besides, this is not true at all. Doesn’t Lin Yoona bend down too many times?

If anything, Li Menglong could even count the number of times she knelt down.

Facing the persecution of girls, Yoona's strategy has never been to fight to the end.

After all, there is no chance of winning in that case, so it is better to beg for mercy earlier. If you can change sides earlier, you might still get some benefits.

As a result, Li Menglong is so strong when facing him now. Doesn't this mean that he is easier to bully?

Li Menglong didn't want to leave such a weak impression on Yoona, so how should he convey his strength?

After hesitating for a few seconds, Li Menglong decided to increase the "dose"!

After all, he still didn't dare to use force with Yuner, and the consequences would probably be something he couldn't bear.

There was no need for the women upstairs to come down to help. Just because Yoona cried here, he would probably have to apologize.

So it’s better to play it safe. Yoona’s refusal should be a reminder to him to offer more favorable terms. He understands this!

"Recently, the Directors Guild is going to hold a private party. You know I don't care much about this. Besides, they also ask to bring a female companion with them. Do you think Lee Soon Kyu will agree?"

Li Menglong asked Xu Xian, but Xu Xian had no intention of answering.

Xu Xian can still tell who he is speaking to!

Sure enough, Yoona was a little moved. If the promises she made before were all in the distant future, it was unclear whether they could be realized.

The conditions given now are too specific. As long as she is willing to nod, there will be an extra opportunity out of thin air.

But is it too much of a coincidence? Can such a party be held casually? Could it be that Li Menglong was lying to her?

If he agreed to this, but ended up getting nothing, Yoona would laugh at himself.

So she still wanted to be more cautious, of course for the sake of her own image, and not to look so ugly.

"Ahem, Lee Soon Kyu is really not interested, but he still has the maknae, so just take her with you, she's professional and relevant!"

Yoona pretended to respond casually, without looking at Li Menglong. She also used Xu Xian as the "relay".

Was she considered a tool by the two of them? Xu Xian himself felt very ridiculous.

Besides, Yoona’s arrangement didn’t work. Why did she think Seohyun wasn’t invited?

After all, Xu Xian is also a registered member of the association. Of course, there is nothing much to say about his status. After all, his status in it depends on his works.

But she couldn't help but have a good master, so Li Menglong's name shouldn't be too loud.

His own works are excellent, and he has a big company to rely on. No matter how you look at it, he is a person who needs to take the initiative to make friends.

So even Xu Xian received some preferential treatment, and she always had her share of similar invitations.

It's just that Li Menglong has rarely been there, so it's naturally not easy for Xu Xian to go there alone.

Although Xu Xian would not be said to have symptoms of social anxiety, her presence was indeed unusually abrupt on that occasion.

It was as if an artist suddenly appeared in a private gathering of a group of fans, looking out of place no matter how you looked at it.

Besides, what are Xu Xian and others going to talk about? It is estimated that the topic will mainly revolve around Li Menglong.

She could even vaguely guess that she just wanted to attract investment.

By the way, directors may look glamorous on the outside and praise all kinds of artists without any limit, but in reality, only they themselves know how sad they are in private.

Even for a famous director, it is still not easy to obtain stable investment for his next work.

Not to mention new directors, it is no easier to attract investment than it is for artists to rise to the top!

But the key is that the artist still has this face as a guarantee. If he really goes all out and does something that breaks the lower limit, there will be no chance of overtaking in corners.

Directors are not good at it. None of them say that they are crooked, but they can only say that they are slightly better than ordinary people.

Even an "ordinary person" among artists like Li Menglong can be regarded as a person who enhances the overall appearance of the director in the director's circle.

So in their world, Li Menglong is undoubtedly a relatively good opportunity.

After all, we are all directors, and we will understand each other's sadness to some extent. Maybe we will choose to help our brothers because of our past experiences.

It's just that this idea is quite naive, at least Xu Xian thinks so.

She has experienced the entire career of Li Menglong as a director. No matter in the initial stage or after he became famous, he did not seem to have taken the initiative to find funds.

At first, it was Lee Soon-gyu, a rich woman, who directly "supported" him. Later, Lee Eun-hee led the entire company to provide support behind him.

Even recently, Li Eunxi directly waved a check to force him to start work, without any restrictions on subject matter or funds.

So Li Menglong would feel the sadness of those people?

This is like allowing girls to experience and understand the mental journey of those artists who have been unknown for many years after their debut.

Although I can probably guess a little bit, but if I want to empathize with it, there is still a long way to go.

But if Li Menglong wanted to attend this time, Xu Xian really wanted to follow him and see the world.

After all, she had not come into contact with many "peers". To be precise, even Li Menglong was very lacking in this aspect.

The two of them, the master and the apprentice, were from wild backgrounds, and their debut process was too smooth. Generally speaking, they did not have the opportunity to interact with their peers.

Although this is not a shortcoming, let's go and take a look.

After all, I paid my membership fees every year. Even if I got my membership fees back in the past, it wouldn’t be a loss.

Seeing Xu Xian shaking in front of her, Yoona felt unhappy but couldn't say anything.

He is a "noble" director, and he is in a completely different situation from a "low-level" actor like her.

Even a famous actor like her is tempted, but Xu Xian has rejected her countless times. Is it necessary to continue talking about this?

In order not to embarrass herself again, Yoona finally faced Li Menglong and said, "Who are there? Aren't they a bunch of new directors with only sporadic works?"

Yoona glanced at Seohyun specifically when she spoke, and it was obvious who the words were implying.

Seohyun really wanted to fight back. No matter how bad her resume was, she was still a director, so her status naturally gave her an advantage over actors like Yoona.

Of course, these advantages are all relative, and there are many new directors who have been bullied by big-name actors.

Ignoring the intrigue between the two little girls, Li Menglong actually called and asked in order to answer Yoona's question.

Regarding Li Menglong's possible attendance, the staff opposite was obviously quite surprised, but he still dutifully reported a series of names.

Although not all are big-name directors, Yoona has been in this circle for many years, and she has heard of most of the directors' names.

Besides, she also has her own little plans in mind. With her current status, if she really wants to cooperate with those well-known directors, she may not be qualified.

It's barely okay in terms of popularity, but it's only limited to popularity.

Once the movie is released and her acting skills are overwhelmed by other actors, her hard-earned reputation may collapse.

Therefore, it is still suitable for her to make progress together with some "backbone" directors. It is best to have a work that allows both of them to advance in their roles at the same time.

Looking at it this way, the most suitable director candidate for Yoona is actually Li Menglong, which makes people very desperate.

Fortunately, she was really familiar with Li Menglong, so she wasn't afraid of him making little moves behind her back.

It's just that she can't hang herself on a tree like Li Menglong. Xu Xian is the sapling she cultivated. Now it seems that she can go to the outside world to learn more about him.

What if a director takes a fancy to Lin Yoona's overflowing talent? It's not impossible.

If the other party can come up with a good script, Yoona can make an exception and give the other party a chance. I believe the two directors in the family won't be jealous, right?

"Ahem, are you sure Li Soonkyu doesn't want to go? You're embarrassed too. Do you have a specific time? Or I can go back and confirm the itinerary?"

Yoona was still pretending to be reserved, but her gleaming eyes had revealed her inner desires.

Now she and Li Menglong have made it easy to attack and defend, or in other words, Yoona, the mermaid, has bitten the hook, and he can take advantage of the situation and close the net.

"What's your itinerary? Then you're just asking me. It might be hard to tell. You might have activities that day."

Li Menglong also made nonsense. Although he was competent, he was not able to memorize their future itinerary.

It's okay to tease Yoona with this kind of words, because whether Yoona has a schedule or not is not a matter of Li Menglong's words.

Yoona naturally felt Li Menglong's teasing. It was clearly Li Menglong who was apologizing to her. How about she try to be tough again?

Just considering the names that flashed before, Yoona really didn't want to give up this opportunity.

I can only advise myself secretly in my heart, what else can a female star not sacrifice for her career?

Besides, she is just being soft to Li Menglong now. Compared with what others may pay, her here is simply not worth mentioning.

Even compared to her past experience, this is still nothing. She is not the kind of artist who starts her career all the way.

She just needs to change her mentality now and treat Li Menglong as a stranger.

A stranger provides this opportunity, and the only requirement is that Yoona cooperates and says a few words. Is this still a request?

"I really need this opportunity. Just say whatever you want, as long as I have it!"

Yoona's big eyes were full of sincerity, but why did Li Menglong see full of threats?

Especially in Yoona's words, the implications are too obvious, making it difficult for him not to make unwarranted associations.

"Well... I can't take the initiative to speak. How about you give me some options?"

"It's not impossible. How about we discuss it in detail tonight?"

"Tonight? Tell me in detail? Hiss..."

"Well, as for the location, let's choose Li Shungui's room. She happens to be a party involved, so she should be able to express some opinions, right?"

Yoona's last words completely destroyed the ambiguity that had just arisen between the two, and Xu Xian was already laughing happily at the side.

She was ready to take action just now. Even if it was a joke, the conversation between the two was still too unhealthy.

But Yoona is indeed a veteran artist, and she will not easily give outsiders a chance to take advantage of her, and she already has a way to deal with it.

Once Lee Soon-gyu is involved, what else will Lee Meng-ryong dare to do? On the contrary, Yoona can go crazy and complain.

Even though the two of them are lovers, when it comes to girls' issues, Lee Soon Kyu's butt is usually on their side.

Li Menglong naturally knew this outcome. Although he had no intention of doing anything, he no longer had the intention of teasing Yoona at this moment.

"Okay, I'll count you as one when the time comes. Is that okay?"

Li Menglong finally relented: "But remember to dress up nicely, otherwise the embarrassment will be on my face!"

The first half of the sentence made Yoona happy, but the second half seemed a bit redundant.

who is she? She is Girls' Generation's Lin Yoona!

Even in the idol circle where beauties are everywhere, she still relies on her looks to gain fame!

As a result, Li Menglong was still afraid of being embarrassed by taking her out. How could he have the nerve to say this?

If he is really afraid of embarrassment, then Yoona should also be afraid. He is clearly deliberately disgusting himself!

Yoona really didn't want to be insulted like this, it was just an opportunity, and it seemed like only he could take her there.

"Maknae, I will go with you when the time comes, and the two of us will go together!"

Yoona arrogantly made a request to Seohyun. The other party wouldn't choose to refuse so blindly, right?

Xu Xian's emotional intelligence is naturally not low to this level, but she still has to tell Yoona the facts. She doesn't seem to have the option of bringing anyone with her in this invitation.

To be precise, Li Menglong didn't have a similar statement, but with his status, if he took him there alone, would anyone stop him?

Theoretically, Xu Xian can also use Li Menglong's banner to pretend to be powerful, but if Yoona doesn't go, is it necessary for Li Menglong to go?

And if Li Menglong didn't go, Xu Xian would take Yoona there by himself, and the scene would be embarrassing just thinking about it.

Although she didn't say all these words, she still kept hinting at Yoona, indicating that the other party should invest more energy in Li Menglong.

Out of trust in her maknae, Yoona didn't ask any more questions, but she was unwilling to do so!

"Okay, you can be responsible for my styling that day, right?"

Yoona took the initiative to take a step back, but what she got in return was Li Menglong's extravagance: "This is considered extra work, you have to pay me overtime, and there is also fuel consumption and meal expenses along the way..."

"Here, I'll give it all to you. I'll pay for the entire trip. Do you have any questions?"

Yoona was already getting impatient. Could this man still want to make a fortune from her? He might as well just auction the spot!
