The Rise of Korean Entertainment

(Thanks to "liji129109" for the 10,000 reward, plus more updates. I have posted the remaining manuscripts in hand, so I can sleep more comfortably?)

It can only be said that good things come in pairs, and things are all connected and causal. Room No. 7 had already become a popular work when Li Menglong was at odds with the media. Seven million viewers were enough to make him proud.

The media that lost a game will naturally not continue to report on this sad situation, but the reputation of House No. 7 is still there, especially as a literary film, the long running time is simply a bug.

There are even some viewers who would rather watch Room 7 again when they come to the cinema and find that there are no good movies. This is incomparable to those commercial blockbusters with pale plots and complete reliance on special effects.

So two months after the end of the year, House No. 7 has achieved a box office of more than one million yuan through hard work. In fact, if the company works hard and the media promotes it more, it has a chance to hit 10 million yuan.

Li Enxi also talked with Li Menglong about whether to get some money to promote public relations, but it was nothing after being damaged by Li Menglong. Li Menglong's original words were: If you have that kind of money, you might as well donate it!

But there are no absolutes in the world. Who would have thought that just a few months later, Li Menglong would make such big news again. This time, there would be no need for media attention. The most brilliant thing in Li Menglong’s resume is undoubtedly Room No. 7. The one with its own luminous body!

And a large number of unselected audiences have never seen Room 7, so in this night alone, the pre-sale of movie tickets until the weekend helped Room 7 reach this different level.

Of course, the audience hasn't come to watch it yet, but the money has been paid, so there is nothing to worry about. Another multi-million dollar movie has been born, and even the audience feels it is magical.

Fortunately, Room 7 is worthy of any praise. The areas that need to be argued about have been made clear during the war, so now the news about Room 7 is mostly filled with congratulations and praise.

Li Menglong was in a daze, or watching how Xu Xian was humiliated and maliciously tortured. His phone calls kept coming in, and while he was answering the phone, there were constant notification tones of new calls and text messages.

The largest category was naturally congratulatory. Anyone who had Li Menglong's phone number basically called over, and the actors in Room 7 were already crazy with joy.

Then there were several people who came to talk to Li Menglong. Li Enxi was the first one. She meant that there must be a celebration party. It would be unreasonable not to publicize such a face-saving thing.

Kim Tae-ho is a little more troublesome. There must be congratulations, no matter it is Misao or Room 7, but this guy talked coyly for a long time, and in the end he actually asked Li Menglong if he could continue to make a sequel to Misao.

In Korean TV dramas, they usually have 16 episodes. After about 4 to 6 episodes have been filmed, they will be broadcast. Later, they will be filmed again and adjusted flexibly based on the audience's response. If the ratings are not good, it will be cut to 8 or 12 episodes. On the other hand, if the ratings are overwhelming, there will be quite a few weird episodes like 21 episodes, 32 episodes, etc., and those are all temporary continuations.

It makes sense. After all, everyone can make more money if they continue to shoot, but is this the same situation as Wuchao? You must know that like Wuchao's album and calendar, in addition to the ratings it contributes to this TV series, everything else such as advertising and peripherals are all donated. This is what Wuchao said from the beginning.

It is precisely because of this that Li Menglong as the director and screenwriter, Kim Taeyeon as the starring role, and Jiang Dongyuan as a guest star are basically just symbolically receiving some variety show advertising fees.

Now MBC wants Lee Mong-ryong to continue writing for the sake of ratings. Kim Tae-ho himself knows that it is impossible, even if he gives money, Lee Mong-ryong is not short of money!

However, being forced by the red-eyed leaders in the station, Jin Taihao could only come over and ask. After being ridiculed by Li Menglong, he talked about the Weisheng meeting.

When the phone calls that lasted for several hours stopped completely, the power bank contributed by Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu had been used up, and the phone was already very hot. Li Menglong looked at the empty waiting room and suddenly felt very boring.

In order to answer these calls today, he didn't bother to talk to the girls, nor did he try to relieve their stress. He even asked them to accommodate him. Although he couldn't say he was sorry, he felt that this rhythm was wrong. he does not like!

After the girls came back from the stage, they saw Li Menglong in a daze. They thought he was stunned with joy, but it was completely understandable. They would have gone crazy by now. They didn't see even Xu. Xian has been in a daze all day.

Although I understand Li Menglong's state, is it a bit too long? From the time he ate in the evening until he returned to the dormitory, Li Menglong, apart from occasionally cooperating with them in joking, was always very low-pitched at other times. If you didn't know better, you would think that Li Menglong was in bad luck, especially since his eyebrows were always frowning together.

After returning home, everyone had no intention of celebrating because of Li Menglong's condition. After washing up, Yoona secretly drafted a draft in her room. She had to say something to Li Menglong, but she didn't understand it very well, so she just pretended to memorize it. The lines are average, but I found some inspirational sentences.

But when he was about to walk down, he saw several girls standing on the stairs: "Failure is not okay..." Yoona said the words she had memorized, sneaking up behind and looking towards the living room together. It turned out that Xu Xian and Li Menglong were sitting in the rocking chairs on the balcony.

There were no lights inside, and there was a back view and a closed glass door. I didn’t even know whether the two of them were talking. A group of girls were very curious, but they didn’t dare to go there.

Li Menglong came back and sat there. Xu Xian came after washing up. They both saw the same emotion in each other's eyes - confusion!

A director who has recently produced TV series with high ratings and movies worth over 10 million yuan, and an actor who won the first love of the nation and the number one female star in a movie worth 10 million yuan in one year. It can be said that the two of them have gained much more than they expected. .

It is easy to get lost in the huge success. Both Li Menglong and Li Menglong were vaguely aware of this, but they instinctively wanted to obey the superficial desires.

Seohyun is just in her early twenties. Behind her is Girls' Generation's maknae, who looks like the number one actress among idols. She can definitely pursue a solo career! Even if that's not the case, she can still film TV series and movies one after another. As long as she doesn't make three or four movies in a row, her popularity can be sustained.

And Li Menglong can also live a life like a star, being chased and praised when he goes out. If he doesn't want to, he can continue to make movies. With his current level of magic, basically no actor will refuse his invitation, including the best actor and best actor. After level!

The reason why Li Menglong and Seo Hyun-neng are still hesitating now is because they have made similar choices before. Seohyun chose to continue his studies and become the team's maknae after winning the title of National First Love; while Li Menglong rose to prominence in SW. When the time comes, he can take advantage of the situation and become the president. Being the president of a large company is more respectable than being an assistant.

However, in that choice, both of them chose to resist rationally. This time it was just because the temptation was too great. It was a multi-million-level movie. Even if they kept warning themselves, they would still be arrogant and irrational instinctively. the behavior of.

Fortunately, Xu Xian and Li Menglong are now together. Li Menglong asked in a hoarse voice first: "The most popular actress among idols and Girls' Generation!"

"Of course it's Girls' Generation!" Seohyun said without hesitation, and then asked slowly: "The best director in Korea, the president of SW, is still the assistant of Girls' Generation!"

After Xu Xian asked, she felt very uneasy. For the first time, she lost confidence in Li Menglong, especially when Li Menglong paused. This question already caused Li Menglong some embarrassment.

He can continue to accompany the girls, but would it be more respectable to be a president and one of the best directors in Korea? Li Menglong is also a man, and he sometimes longs for the adoring eyes of girls and has some selfish thoughts.

But when he thought about girls looking at him in fear, hesitating before saying anything, and involving interests, money, and roles in three sentences, Li Menglong felt that this was terrible. Just thinking about such a scene made him inexplicably confused. cold.

"Must be an assistant!" Li Menglong replied harshly, and with his words, Xu Xian collapsed on the rocking chair. She had never felt so far away from Li Menglong.

He reached out and took Li Menglong's somewhat rough hand. The conversation continued, but the choice became less and less hesitant.

"Going to school or catching up on a schedule?"

"Go to school! Well, do you want to shoot multiple productions a year or spend more time with us?"

"Of course I have taken a lot of works, so you will take time to accompany me, believe me!" After Li Menglong said this, he felt the back of his hand being pinched, but the atmosphere was much more relaxed now.

Although the girls didn't know what the two said, they knew it was okay when they saw their hands pushing each other in mid-air. They instinctively breathed a sigh of relief. No one wanted a good thing to happen again. Accident.

Li Shunkyu could guess some of Li Menglong's thoughts, but she actually didn't think about how to persuade her. She even thought that locking Li Menglong with them was a selfish act. Shouldn't Li Menglong have some pursuits of his own? You must know that he is no longer the gangster who didn't even have an ID card.

But it's good that the matter has been resolved. Although it wasn't her who came forward, when did this girl Xu Xian become so powerful? Can you still persuade people?

With doubts, a group of girls went to rest one after another, but time was still passing, but it was just a little different from before.

Li Menglong, who has been a topical figure recently, is naturally the focus of the media, although he is not that popular with the media. I couldn't get any appointments for interviews or programs because Li Menglong didn't have an agent. He called the company and Park Xiangmin said they were not responsible for this matter.

So the reporters could only stick to Girls' Generation's schedule. After all, as their assistant, Li Menglong always followed them when they had nothing to do. However, what was shocking this time was that Li Menglong did not appear with the girls at all.

But it doesn’t matter if there is no chance here. Reporters are creatures that are unwilling to give up until they reach the Yellow River. While squatting in Girls’ Generation, they go to confirm another time.

Three days later, MBC held a press conference for Wei Sheng. In fact, it would be more appropriate to call it a success celebration, but no matter what the reason was, the scale was very grand, with red carpets, buffets and the like.

The Wuchao gang even attended with their wives, and most of the girls made guest appearances, so in the end they all dressed up to attend. However, for such an important occasion, Li Menglong, the director and screenwriter who is the soul of the TV series, still did not show up. , Wuchao didn’t seem to want to give any explanation.

During the reporter's question session, the reporters collectively went crazy. Several reporters asked questions in succession, just seizing on this one question. After all, Li Menglong was already suspected of ignoring these media and reporters again.

It is precisely because this issue is very sensitive that Kim Tae-ho planned to deal with it coldly. However, in this scene, Kim Taeyeon and Yoo Jae-seok looked at each other, and it was Yoo Jae-seok who came out to explain: "I know about Mongryong's situation. He thinks he is just I just did my job well and shouldn’t receive so much praise and praise, so I recently chose to study alone!”

"Is he going to quit the entertainment industry?"

"Don't push me too far. Menglong is just taking a break. I believe he will still bring you better works in the future. Okay, let's talk about the topic of Wei Sheng. I don't have many opportunities to be the protagonist. Yes!" Liu Zaishi smiled and changed the subject.

Sure enough, three days later, Li Menglong still did not attend the celebration banquet in Room 7. This time, it was Xu Xian who took his place and explained to the reporters. The core meaning was similar to Liu Jae Suk's.

But compared to a veteran like Yoo Jae Suk, Xu Xian was still a little immature, so she was annoyed by being asked about the loopholes in her words. At this moment, she really wanted to take revenge on Li Menglong.

Because he should be watching the live broadcast at home at this time, right? I don’t know if he drank the yam juice left for him in the refrigerator, but Xu Xian was surprised when he was being interviewed. Li Menglong, who was in front of the TV screen in the dormitory, saw this scene and decisively squirted out a mouthful of yam juice. It was so funny!

Li Menglong is not simply disappearing. This is a method he and the girls came up with together. Time can always dilute everything. Besides, in a place like the entertainment industry, there is a lot of news. If Li Menglong doesn't come out in a few days, he will be beaten by others. The artist overshadows the limelight.

In fact, the effect is not bad. News about Lee Mong-ryong has become less and less. However, all reporters are waiting for the Baeksang Arts Awards next week. Lee Mong-ryong will not even go to the award ceremony, right?

And Li Menglong, who is staying at home, has not completely rested. How can the person who promised to be an assistant not think about the artist? After extremely complex inquiries, Li Menglong finally found the address of jt, which was so hidden.

"Gangwon-do Jeongseon?" Li Menglong repeated the address, and then shouted to the people upstairs: "Are you going for a spring outing? You'll have twenty minutes to prepare. Don't wait if you're late!
