The Rise of Korean Entertainment

(6k big chapter, thank you all for your recent support, thank you!)

Although it was just a dispute of temper, and although the boss lady's actions would make the relationship worse, Li Menglong didn't care anyway. Whoever cared could just coax the reporters.

As everyone got up one after another, although they only slept for a few hours, everyone was used to it. The entertainment industry is like this, especially when singing.

So we ate a rather greasy breakfast together in a fried chicken restaurant with our backs to the flashing lights outside the window. Several of the little fans were so excited that they didn't know what to say, although the girls were quite embarrassed now.

"Come on, Ernies, my long-cherished wish is your strongest support!" Several fans did not forget to shout before leaving: "exidfighting! swfighting!"

"Why didn't you encourage me?"

"Because you don't need to fight. The show is begging you, so why are you still fighting?" He complained about Liu Jae Suk, and at the same time, everyone started busy with their own things.

"I'll take Xiaoxian away. Is there a singing stage in the afternoon?"

"Originally, there is, but we are not having a cold war with KBS." Li Eunxi reminded from the side.

"Oh, it seems that our popularity is really bad?" Li Menglong complained to himself: "But don't be afraid, it's all their loss, everyone, try your best today!"

After speaking, Li Menglong naturally took the coat from Xu Xian and walked out directly. However, before going out, he turned back and asked Xu Xian curiously: "Have you been holding my clothes just now?"

"Well, is there a problem?"

"No!" Li Menglong opened the door and walked directly into the nanny car through the reporters at the door. Thinking about it now, it is really easy for fans to misunderstand. He just expected Li Shunkyu to hold his coat for him? The picture was so beautiful that Li Menglong didn’t even dare to think about it.

"Just wait and read today's newspaper, I'll give you a big surprise." A reporter shouted.

Li Menglong stopped and motioned for Xu Xian to go up first: "He's from D, right? I met him in the cinema the other day. What do you call him?"

"Liang Tianyi!"

"Tianyi?"

"I am a hundred million words!"

"Actually, I am a fortune teller. I calculated from your name that you are short of money in the five elements of your life!" Li Menglong said seriously, followed by several chuckles from those around him.

"There's no need to be eloquent here. This is your strength, but it's a pity that making movies is not one of your strengths." Liang Tianyi said with a livid face, one third of it was from the cold, and one third of it was from the cold. It's hunger, and the rest is anger and embarrassment.

"Don't you reporters all love making big news? Do you want to make a bet? Bet on the box office of Room 7!"

Li Menglong's words directly touched Liang Tianyi's itch. If this thing is done, there is no need to worry about sales. In the future, if Li Menglong fails, he can still use it to hype it up. It's just a bet...

"It seems that you have realized that I can't let you take advantage of me after giving you such a big benefit, right? We will bet on whatever you need, 10 million, and donate it to charity. As for the box office of 5 million?"

Looking at Liang Tianyi who was still hesitating, many other reporters agreed on his behalf. In a situation like Room 7, where everyone is shouting for help, Li Menglong would be considered a high achiever if he could earn more than 1 million, so why not pay 5 million?

Fortunately, Liang Tianyi is not stupid, or he is too short of money. His answer is very cautious: "Ten million box office!"

"Tsk, tsk, you're really being careful, but 10 million box office will cost extra money. How about 100 million?" Li Menglong still said relaxedly, as if he was talking about five yuan.

Liang Tianyi thought over and over again and felt that the box office of 10 million people was like a star in the sky. It was impossible for anyone to get there, at least not Li Menglong.

Xu Xian, who was huddled in the car, looked at Li Menglong with some worry. Needless to say, he needed an explanation. Li Menglong really had to explain, otherwise this little girl would not give up.

"Look, 100 million is first given to charity. No matter whether we win or lose, neither he nor I can win anything. Of course there is so-called face, but I don't care." Li Menglong explained: "As for 100 million, it's easy. , I don’t have 100 million and I can make it back quickly, but how long will it take for him to make it? This is the difference between big bankers and individual investors in gambling. Big bankers can lose 100 times, but individual investors will be finished if they lose once.”

"So, even if you lose this time, if you bet with him again in the future, sooner or later he will lose." After explaining to Xu Xian, Li Menglong simply forgot about the topic.

As for what he said to Xu Xian, it does make sense, but is Li Menglong someone who just takes 100 million and goes out to waste it? He had the confidence to dare to say this. Of course, the chance of success was still slim, but Li Menglong felt that he should give himself more reasons to be excited. Everything would be resolved anyway.

As expected, the morning newspaper still had a large section about Room 7 and Exid, and even included a series of Li Menglong's actions yesterday. The party at the fried chicken restaurant was even called the last supper.

It’s just that anyone with a discerning eye can see that compared to yesterday, there are one-third fewer topics. Naturally, the less popular one is Girls’ Generation. Because the girls’ album is a success, the cumulative sales have exceeded 150,000 according to incomplete statistics. This is Without pre-sale results from midnight to now, if this is not considered a success, what is considered a success?

Moreover, some professional musicians have also praised this album. Although the song does not have many highlights, it is still a work above the standard. The shape of the suit is even regarded as a god by the fashion industry. At the beginning of 2013 The trend is about to be led by girls.

It has never been the style of this group of media to go against popular idols, because the wind is blowing in the wrong direction. Naturally, the wallflowers can't go against the wind. Let's just wait for the day when the girls lose power and then settle the matter together.

As for now, I'm just trying to get my fill of scolding Room 7 and Exid, but the expected counterattack will come soon, and many people had foreseen this counterattack yesterday.

It is an open letter from the Baeksang Arts Awards Organizing Committee. The wording is extremely harsh. Not to mention that there is no so-called shady story. Even if it is true, we cannot admit it now. There is no doubt that Room 7 is a good movie. This is what they say throughout the story. View.

As for the so-called theory of bribery and nepotism, it will happen at any awards ceremony, but there is no such big controversy, so the judges almost swear that there is no shady story.

But just like turmoil happens every time, the audience is numb to these remarks. Is it okay if your organizing committee says there is no such thing? Why don't you provide evidence?

The media has said that Room 7 is a rubbish movie, starting from the script. It is rubbish for such a rubbish movie to receive so many nominations. Isn’t that your problem?

It is a perfect logic, without any flaws, except for the first and most fundamental argument, which is the "media theory". How credible can the "media theory" be? Why are they more convincing than the organizing committee?

This involves an issue of credibility, which covers a wide range of areas and is even being studied by many experts. However, the credibility of the media is certainly high. Except for a few government departments, few groups can surpass them.

And if you can objectively look at the media's attitude towards House No. 7, you can find that although major newspapers and websites are critical, they actually say it very euphemistically. It is not unacceptable to just put it out, as if speaking objectively Girls’ Generation is not that good-looking, it’s just a personal opinion and does not guide the masses.

But this is not the case with the tabloids below. Reports with a strong personal touch are all published here. They know what news they need to compete with the big newspapers. Only by writing in this way can they get attention.

Among them, the best-selling newspaper today is D's newspaper, especially Liang Tianyi, who has become the hero of the company. This profitable gamble is simply giving them money.

"Gift from Room 7, the number of movie viewers exceeded 10 million!" This is the title of D Agency today. It is a perfect gimmick, and people can't help but want to buy a copy to see what is going on.

And just as the newspapers were competing to see whose headline was more eye-catching, the online debate started again, and this time it was the long-cherished friends who started the fight.

When the two quarreled in the past, it always ended up being nothing, because neither side could come up with anything that could finalize the issue. But now, Girls' Generation's albums are already selling well, and overall they look pretty good in all aspects. , How can we wait until we don’t cause trouble at this time?

"Stand up? Where were the happy people dancing there yesterday? Come on, come out and speak."

"Don't tell me that Girls' Generation's album is a hit on the street? It's almost 200,000 copies and it's still a hit on the street. Can your idol sell so much in a lifetime?"

"Don't think I won't recognize you even if you hide, you are a bunch of cowards."

In the face of the clamor of long-cherished people, the overall atmosphere online is relatively harmonious. The main reason is that a slap in the face can't make a sound. Those black fans also have brains. What else can be explained other than being scolded for coming out at this time?

Fortunately, there was more than one thing going on. Now that we can’t hack the girls, there is room No. 7 that we can hack. So one by one they moved to the battlefield: “I heard that there is another national movie with over 10 million yuan coming out recently? It’s called No. 7 A gift from the house?”

"That's right, it's this movie. It's so good. The 10 million box office is almost blinding me."

"I don't know where to gather 10 million people. Do you think they are ghosts?"

"I don't know about the others, but Room 7 is a bad movie. It's been identified!"

The trend is gradually getting closer to yesterday. It is another unexplainable thing. Faced with the ridicule, many people in SW cannot explain it. They even vaguely complain about why Li Menglong jumped out to talk to them. I don’t know what celebrities are doing. Should you be careful what you say?

Of course, we can't blame Li Menglong directly. Now he is surrounded by a lot of people. They don't dare to attack Li Menglong directly without looking at the gang of black fans. They just talk about Room 7, which is really disgusting enough.

Li Menglong didn't know much about what happened online, but he also knew that the matter might have escalated again, because when they were rushing to the theater today, someone actually held up a sign to demonstrate, saying that this kind of bad movie should be expelled from the cinema.

Everyone in South Korea would avoid things like demonstrations, but Li Menglong walked up curiously and wanted to chat when he had time.

This conversation really revealed something. This person was not hired, he was even a college student himself, and what he did now was purely out of his love for movies. It made Li Menglong feel like he was a villain.

Li Menglong never expected that everyone would like Room No. 7, so it was normal to meet a knowledgeable person who didn't like him. He had no ill feelings towards this "normal person" Li Menglong. At least he had seen it, no. It's someone's choice to like.

Therefore, his mood was not disturbed at all. Li Menglong also praised the good calligraphy on his brand: "I would like to ask, do you really feel that the script is particularly bad?"

When Li Menglong saw the other party nodding, he couldn't help but shrug his shoulders. Xu Xian in the distance also called him: "I apologize on behalf of our screenwriter. I will work harder next time."

She took a bottle of water from Xu Xian and handed it to him: "Go back and study hard, and try to make a movie you want to watch in the future. By the way, what is your school?"

"Dongguk University!"

Li Menglong's expression became much more exciting in an instant. The emotional expression for more than a moment was very difficult for even the best actor to act. Li Menglong really didn't know what to say: "Then do you know Professor Liang? Professor Li? Professor Cui... …”

Seeing this classmate's constant nodding and confused eyes, Li Menglong really wanted to mourn for him for a few seconds. He looked around and then squatted next to this classmate's ear: "You should pray that there is no news that you are here." Any media will expose it, otherwise you will easily fail the exam..."

Li Menglong was still smiling as he walked away. There weren't many things that could make him laugh recently. The person behind him was a college student. He questioned whether many professors at his university wrote bad scripts? Li Menglong couldn't think of the last way this classmate died. It would have been very tragic anyway.

As for whether the media will report it? It didn’t take half an hour, but there was relevant news on the website. A large number of people who followed the trend were still leaving messages of support below, saying that this kind of movie is still embarrassing to promote?

Of course, more praise is given to this Dongguk University student. There are even many students from this school who left comments below. College students like to join in the fun. I hate this kind of movie that I can't even compare to. Two sentences are nothing.

It’s just that they didn’t know that this movie didn’t need eight poles to hit them, just one palm’s distance was enough. At 12 noon, not long after the last class of the university, the screenwriter collective of The Gift of Room 7 Speak up.

Li Menglong really wasn't intentionally guiding public opinion. After the script was completed, Li Menglong wanted to write everyone's names together, but the professors didn't agree because of their own considerations.

So the screenwriter of Room 7 Gift is written in the subtitles: Li Menglong et al.

No one noticed this small detail, so when the word "wait" was equated with the seven professors of Dongguk University, the fun became great.

Li Menglong didn't know what the media thought. Anyway, those who criticized the movie seemed to feel uncomfortable without scolding the screenwriter and script. Of course, this is also a common practice. It is rare to hear that the script is very good but the movie is terrible.

A good script is the prerequisite for a good movie, and conversely, a movie with a bad script must also be bad.

Originally, there was no problem at all, even if the script was really good, but it was written by Li Menglong anyway, so we just scolded him. It would be even harder for Li Menglong to clear his name.

But when the seven professors came forward, it was definitely not just one or two who were panicked. They all said that the credibility of the media is very strong. There are few organizations except the government that can compete, but seven professors together are enough.

The status of teachers in South Korea is very high. Needless to say, professors have both face and status. These professors are also performance-related professors who are not very good in their majors. If they are in transportation or humanities, then Such people may be recruited by the government as a high-ranking official at any time.

So if we want to simply use an inequality to explain, there is no doubt that professor \u003e reporter, so now it has become a bunch of reporters hacking seven professors together?

The description of this problem alone will make ordinary people wonder, professor, or how bad the script written by seven professors can be? Could it be that the media lied?

Li Menglong never intended to drag the professors into trouble. The fact that these people didn't choose to sign together showed that they didn't want to be famous. Writing a script was purely out of a dream.

So even when Room 7's box office was in a slump, he never thought of coming up with this gimmick. It's no exaggeration to say that if the news broke out, it would bring in at least about 1 million in box office.

But Li Menglong felt that respect and understanding were much more important than getting money, so he kept suppressing it. The professors were also very grateful and kept this friendship in their hearts.

However, with Li Menglong's second wave of publicity, things began to develop out of control. The professors were angry. They swore that their script was definitely not as bad as the media said.

At first, everyone wanted to tolerate it, but as the matter continued to escalate, vulgar words continued to challenge the professors' bottom line. Until today, their own students began to protest, which became the final trigger.

The professors decided to stand up, not to fight back, but because they wanted to get the truest opinion. Is this movie as bad as the media said?

The atmosphere in Korean academic circles has always been good, and with the co-signature of seven professors, the principal quickly agreed to this invitation letter, or it would be more appropriate to call it a challenge:

We sincerely invite all media, film critics, audiences and everyone who is interested in Room 7 to participate in this discussion. It will be held this afternoon at the Dongguk University Auditorium. The topic is how bad is Room 7?

The inviters were signed by seven professors, but there was also a prefix - the gift writing team of Room 7.

The names of nearly two dozen media outlets were also filled in quite formally below. These are the recent vanguards. The professors meant that they had to come. Their names were all mentioned, and they were too embarrassed not to come.

Seeing Xu Xian tell him the news with a little excitement, Li Menglong smiled and put the naughty bangs on the girl's forehead back together.

However, Xu Xian obviously didn't appreciate it. What he should be focusing on now is not his bangs: "oppa! The professors have stood up!"

"Well, what next? After they scolded the media, will all the viewers believe that this is a good movie? Will they go into the movie to watch it?" Li Menglong smiled and rubbed Xu Xian's head: " Other than embarrassing the media, it has no essential impact."

Seeing Li Menglong's reasonable analysis, Xu Xian was very frustrated. She thought this was a chance to make a comeback: "Then why is Oppa still smiling?"

"I'm so happy. Isn't it a joyful thing for the media to be slapped in the face by the professors?" Li Menglong said happily.

However, Xu Xian just frowned and looked at Li Menglong's expression carefully. Based on her understanding of Li Menglong, this matter was not equivalent to his current level of happiness.

But before Xu Xian could explore, Li Menglong had already grabbed Xu Xian's shoulders and turned her back: "Let's go and see the excitement. Why don't we go and see the happiness that was given to us in vain?"

There were so many people who were in the same mood as Li Menglong at that time. What fun it was for free. God knows whether the script of Room 7 was written by a professor or seven professors!

If reporters could know this in advance, they would be much more cautious in what they say and word. These are professors, to put it harshly. As long as professors don’t do any treacherous things such as hidden rules or forging papers, then they are the fathers of reporters.

Even if the professor points his nose at the reporter and scolds him, the surrounding audience will just clap and applaud, because the reporter must be at fault. Just like the reporters suppressed Li Menglong, the same method finally caused them the same pain.

It's impossible not to go. Everyone has called me by name. If I don't go, I won't have three hundred taels of silver here. Although it's a bit ugly if I go, there are more people, so some people can share the blame.

Those who come are not just reporters from newspapers or media, but usually front-line senior film critics and people in charge of the entertainment section, because sending some brats here will only make the matter more serious.

The auditorium of Dongguk University can hold at least a thousand people. As for people, there is always no shortage in the university. There are not a few people who stayed in school and did not go home. In addition, there are many people who came specially to watch the excitement. There are quite a few people.

Journalists all have specific seats. After asking where they are before entering, they will also have a special small name tag pinned to their chest to prevent everyone from recognizing them.

But it's painful to be recognized. Most of the people coming now are supporters of Room 7, and they don't need to be patient, so when they come over, they all go there and curse a few words before sitting down.

Li Menglong didn't dare to come in directly, otherwise it would be too ostentatious. He came here almost half an hour late on purpose, and sat directly at the back with Xu Xian, making the scene look like a hearing.

And now one of the professors is holding a newspaper and questioning one of the media: "Language barrier? Logic confusion? Can you analyze it for me in detail? Point out to me which word is illogical! I have been teaching for half my life. This is the first time someone has said that something I wrote is illogical!"

"Sorry, I didn't mean that, I..."

"Point it out! The thing that made you complain in a whole page must be memorable and intolerable to you, so please point it out now!"

"Sorry, I haven't seen this movie..."

As this person lowered his head and said these words, the scene erupted with a roar. This person is the vanguard of Black Room No. 7. His analysis is reasonable and well-founded. He has never seen it. this movie?
