The Rise of Korean Entertainment

The premiere is almost over here, but today Li Menglong called quite a few people, and they are just the ones who are close to each other. Apink and Tara have to thank them no matter what.

Looking at the time, it was past eight o'clock in the evening. Li Menglong estimated that the group of people hadn't eaten yet. After looking at the scene, he was the only one suitable to speak out: "I'll find a barbecue restaurant nearby. I don't drink. Everyone is hungry and free." Just go get something to eat, say hello if you’re not hungry, and then go straight away!”

Although the atmosphere of the wine shop is better, and the girls or female idols are not the kind of fairies who don't drink alcohol, on the contrary, according to Lee Soon Kyu and his gang, at least half of them smoke and drink.

What Li Menglong was thinking about was that everyone might be busy at the end of the year. Not to mention his own affairs tomorrow, the two girl groups would probably have to work overtime to practice when they got home, so a barbecue would be just in time, and it could also be used as a late-night snack, and even dinner would be saved.

People who are familiar with Li Menglong know that he has a point, so everyone who has not eaten dinner will follow him to eat, after all, there is no place to eat! Tara and the others must go over and say hello, otherwise their visit will be in vain.

But they thought Li Menglong was just saying it politely. After all, it was like a man and a woman going to a hotel for the first time. All the men said they just went there to sleep honestly, but how many of them were honest?

But we had been eating for half an hour. Apart from the fact that the meat was declining at an alarming rate, no one touched a bottle of wine. Even busy people like Yoo Jae Suk and Yoon Eun Hye came over and ordered two portions of fried rice and took a few random bites. Just left.

Then it was no longer Lee Mong-ryong's time. The relationship between the various girl groups on the scene was very confusing. For example, Lee Ji-eun and Park Ji-yeon, who are Tara's maknae, became close friends because of the variety show "Heroes"! So are Lee Soon Kyu and Hyo Min!

As for Park So Yeon's familiarity with these girls, of course this is a friendship between the second generation. Apink and Exid are the third generation girl group, so the juniors also have their own things to talk about.

The key is that after the atmosphere reached a certain level, Li Menglong found that these women were terrifying when eating barbecue. Although the speed was not fast, the frequency was very stable, and the roasted meat disappeared in minutes.

It's not that Li Menglong was afraid of these people eating it, it was just that there was a room full of beauties eating barbecue. This scene was always a bit surprising.

In fact, it is Li Menglong who is ignorant. First of all, these girls have been training a lot recently, so it doesn't matter if they eat some barbecue. Besides, there are usually managers watching, but after eating here, they can just turn it over to Li Menglong.

Secondly, barbecue is really a bit expensive. Girls can have no problem with it, but people like Ah Fan will definitely not be able to afford it. As for Tara, it’s really hard to say because they are like Girls’ Generation in the gee period now. Although it has become popular, it should be a newcomer's contract.

As for whether the company will split some money depending on the situation, Li Menglong said that he is not optimistic, so having the opportunity to eat these Korean beef and other things is, to put it more exaggeratedly, just for the Chinese New Year.

After all, not every company builds a fried chicken restaurant on the first floor and provides it to idols at cost, so compared to the hard work of idols in other companies, the hard work of exid is to endure the smell of fried chicken that can be smelled every day and not eat it.

Finally, there is the current atmosphere. There are very few friends in the entertainment industry, so it is really rare to have such a relaxing atmosphere. For example, Lee Soon Kyu and Hyo Min only see each other once or twice a year.

So after staying for a while, Li Menglong also walked out and completely gave up the box to the girls. After all, the topic was no longer suitable for him to continue listening.

Seeing Li Menglong come out, several managers outside, including Li Shunkyu's second sister, gathered around, thinking that the dinner was about to break up, but who knew that Li Menglong took them to the private room next door: "If you really can't refuse the event, let them do it." Let’s chat for a while, we can’t treat people like machines, right?”

Since Li Menglong said so, face must be given, and several agents sat down. Of course, each of them had different thoughts.

Park Xiangmin and Li Yinkyu were naturally very relaxed. Ah Fen's manager didn't have much idea, while Tara's manager was thinking about how to get Li Menglong to help.

The most worried person among them was Lee Ji Eun's manager. I don't know how long their entire company was shaken when Lee Mong Ryong signed Girls' Generation.

It can be said that Lee Ji-eun's company LOEN Entertainment is not short of money. It has been very good to Lee Eun-ji from the beginning of his debut. If the first album failed, he gave him a chance to make a second one. Just after the big hit, he immediately canceled the original contract and offered the current five albums. For a five-cent contract, Li Ji-eun, the star’s biggest advertising revenue earner, gets seven!

As for the company's resources, the company's resources are fully open to her, including movies, songs, etc. In short, no one has ever come to poach Li Zhien when she is so popular. On the one hand, she doesn't dare, and on the other hand, she can't give so much.

The company originally thought that the first sister could stay in the company, but then Li Menglong, a real brother, came out and started his own company, and it was quite successful!

So this person began to worry that Li Zhien had defected. Although the liquidated damages were sky-high, to put it harshly, they had plenty of money, but Li Zhien only had this one.

Li Menglong didn't know why the other party was so uncomfortable at first. After all, he had no concept in this area, but Park Xiangmin reminded him a few words.

Then Li Menglong directly grabbed this person's shoulder without being seen. In fact, Li Menglong had already asked and learned about the people and companies around her from the very beginning when he recognized Li Zhien.

Let's put it this way, except for himself who asked Li Zhien to come to SW, no other company in South Korea would be so kind to Li Zhien, so they didn't feel sorry for Li Zhien.

And these siblings are not the kind of ungrateful people. Even though seeing Girls' Generation and Lee Mong-ryong getting closer and closer, Lee Ji-eun resisted the desire to change jobs.

Otherwise, whether it’s the original Reply 1995 or the current House No. 7, isn’t she, Li Ji-eun, a more suitable candidate?

Maybe after this contract ends, Li Zhien will consider staying with Li Menglong, but she definitely can't force the contract to be terminated now. She can't do it.

As for Li Menglong, I didn't even think about it. Although Li Zhien was a little tired there, she still did things she liked. The company even agreed to let her choose the songs for the next album.

So you brought Li Zhien over and kept him as a pet?

"Don't think too much. I, Li Menglong, still understand the basic principles of life. I will always be grateful to those who treat me well, so I keep it in my heart. However, I still have to have a sense of crisis. Be kind to our Zhien. !”

After listening to Li Menglong's words, the manager bowed to him quickly. He had been really worried for a long time during this period. As for his attitude towards Li Zhien, he had long regarded Li Zhien as his goddaughter: "Let's just say that, she will definitely It won’t be any worse than the treatment your company gives Girls’ Generation!”

"So confident? Are you looking down on me?"

"This is not an underestimation! Ji-eun's TV series is already being negotiated, and next year's album will also have a top budget. Is there anything else missing?"

"Do I have a variety show here?"

"Do you think Ji-eun will miss variety shows?"

"It's hard to say. Can my variety show be the same as other people's?" Li Menglong took the cup and bumped it with Park Xiangmin who was also smiling, making everyone on the side curious.

No matter how beautiful the dinner party is, it will end. In the end, no one cares about the status, recent rumors, fame, etc. of the girls inside. They are now just a group of 20-year-old girls who are engaged in the same profession.

So a total of 27 girls, 9+6+6+5+1, stood together. At that scene, even the well-informed agents were a little stunned.

"Hurry up and stand up, be careful if you are short, your name must be called!" Because the photo was about to be taken, and no one except Li Menglong was in charge. After all, no manager is suitable to shout like this to other people's artists.

"Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu should be more conscious, and Tara's maknae should also be more proactive. Being short is not scary, it's enough that you are prettier than them!"

Li Zhien pushed his proud friend next to him. Li Menglong clearly didn't even look at him. Who was he looking at? Pu Suyan also saw that Li Menglong had made a mistake that everyone would make.

It seems that girls will habitually recognize Lee Soon Kyu as the maknae, and Tara also has such a person: "Hello senior, I am Jeon Bo Ram, the eldest sister of the group!"

"Uh!" Li Menglong looked at the group of girls who wanted to laugh but were holding back, rubbed the back of his head, and then awkwardly accused the managers who were watching the fun: "You said you can't be more responsible when selecting members? The maknae has You act like a maknae, don’t keep bringing a bunch of old girls to fool us, we passerby fans are very embarrassed to say..."

Everyone couldn't help but laugh. It was Girls' Generation who took the lead, and Li Menglong didn't have any airs. Under Li Menglong's poisonous tongue, he recognized everyone's names while arranging the girls into three rows, not by reputation or group, but simply by head.

"Okay, don't blink for a while, smile brighter, and..."

"Hey, we are the idols, and we have taken more photos than you have ever seen, so you are responsible for pressing the shutter button, and we will take care of the rest!"

I was despised again, but what I said is quite reasonable. As long as the flash is turned on, various postures have become the instinctive reaction of this group of people. Why do you want an amateur like Li Menglong to take charge?

"Who said that just now? If you dare to stand up, I will ban you immediately!" After making a pretentious threat, Li Menglong took several pictures of them in succession.

Director Li's inspiration came to him again. As for the girls, it was as if they were accompanying their naughty brothers and cooperated. Otherwise, who would be responsible if they cried after a while?

So Li Menglong held the camera with a pre-set photo time in one hand and raised it high, similar to a selfie gesture. His big face took up a quarter of the screen.

The other hand in the distance was showing a martial arts palm technique. At the moment when the continuous sound of taking pictures came to mind, the girls seemed to have been exploded by a bomb, and they all retreated in a funny way.

"Cut, do it again!"

"Director Li, the actors' wages haven't been settled yet!"

The questions and answers between Lee Menglong and Lee Soonkyu made the scene happy again.
