The Rise of Korean Entertainment

Li Menglong has always had a utilitarian mentality, but on the one hand, it was hidden deeply, and on the other hand, he couldn't use it at all. To put it bluntly, he was a bit shameless. He just shot the previous works as he wished. , and then it became popular.

The only exception is Room No. 7, but the original intention of filming that movie was not to make money. Both Li Menglong and Li Eunxi agreed on this, so the cost was saved again and again.

As a result, the results were poor later on, and neither the company nor Li Menglong took any other measures. Unexpectedly, it slowly and miraculously became prosperous. To be honest, everyone within the company felt that this thing was quite magical.

But Star You is completely different. There are many original intentions of this drama, but the most important one is to allow Yoona to at least get rid of the title of street heroine. You know, Yoona almost cried to death for this title. .

Now that the motive has been determined, Lee Mong-ryong will naturally work towards this goal, so the protagonist has been selected as Lee Kwang-soo, who will not steal Yoona's limelight. The supporting roles have been reduced to the extreme, and the broadcasting station has also been set on MBC.

It can be said that Li Menglong put in a lot of effort, but he didn't expect that this drama would be so unpopular. Girls are familiar with Li Menglong's temper, which is typical of a circle on the outside and a square on the inside.

It seems that Li Menglong is very easy to talk to, and girls usually keep ordering him to do this and that, but what if Li Menglong really makes up his mind before giving it a try? At that time, the girls would not come here to persuade me, it was useless!

Just like how many times Seohyun, Lee Soonkyu and Kim Taeyeon have discussed the issue of Lee Menglong's sleep recently. Is it of any use?

And Li Menglong's current thought is that nothing can be done to make this drama a hit, so his mind is working at full capacity, always thinking about whether he can do anything for the next fight.

It becomes interesting when people like him start to use some crooked ideas. It's like Einstein accidentally failed a college entrance examination paper, so this guy started cramming in all kinds of knowledge. Will he fail the exam again?

Of course, Li Menglong doesn't have the strength of others, and he doesn't dare to say that he can 100% increase the ratings, but he has to do something. Even if he dies, Li Menglong wants to die on the way forward instead of surrendering.

It was not enough to think alone. Li Menglong simply asked the overall team to think about it while eating. Who are these people? They are all slickers who have been in the entertainment industry for many years. Although they are limited by their respective professions, they may There are restrictions on the divergence of thinking.

But I can't stand the crowd. You talk to each other, and the atmosphere is really good. The power of the masses is great and it is an eternal truth, so after discussing it, we actually came up with something that is not too new. Off-board moves.

"Then let Xu Xian handle this matter. You know music and so on, so let's just practice directing. Go ahead!" Li Menglong gave the order and stopped caring. He quickly poured his energy into the TV series. This kind of The ability to switch is also enviable, at least for Xu Xian.

Half an hour ago she was an inconspicuous assistant to Li Menglong on the crew, but now she has been kindly kicked out by everyone on the crew. Looking at the closed door, Xu Xian felt inexplicably sad. It’s over.

She understood Li Menglong's intentions very well. This was all to train her, but was it too radical? She is just a girl in her early twenties. Although she is always very mature, there is no comparison with her girlhood. She is a little panicked when Xu Xian comes out to do it alone.

Xu Xian has believed in this idea for many years, but the Ernies are busy and everyone has their own things to do. For the time being, no one can care about her.

However, the Ernies would not leave their children alone. They called no matter what, and at least they gave some attention, and several people gave the same answer. Xu Xian sounded quite reliable. .

In South Korea, the entertainment industry is already very deformed. The modeling industry is a vulgar version of the entertainment industry, and there is also a high-end version called the musical theater industry.

How should I describe this circle? It is an art form blindly introduced from South Korea. As we all know, musicals have high requirements on the artistic quality of the audience, which means that it takes time to cultivate the audience.

But what to do if there is no time. It doesn't matter. First of all, lower the ticket price. Anyway, there are a lot of trainees in Korea who can't get ahead, so just pay them casually. It's very cost-effective.

The second is to hire big names, which is similar to idol dramas. The protagonist must be top-notch, but it is different from idol dramas because the idols are already considered top celebrities in this circle. There are also actors, but most of them are not famous.

So Korean musicals have survived in this way, and many girls have appeared in them. Jung Soo-yeon's blonde beauty is still one of her labels. Soo-young's sister is also a musical actress.

The person everyone recommends to Seohyun is self-evident - a musical actor! A group that has rich stage experience but is surprisingly cheap. Moreover, this group of people has discipline as well as following. All Xu Xian needs to do is find the leader.

As a well-known agent in the industry, of course only in the musical circle, Zheng Zaixing received a very lucky call today. You must know that he is specially responsible for providing actors for major musicals.

He occasionally communicates with not only the ordinary people at the bottom, but also the protagonists, so he has a list of idols who he thinks are likely to appear and are good at singing.

The name that ranked first among them has been crossed out. This is when Seohyun's title of National Sister was announced, and he had given up. It would be great if people had that time to make movies. Who would come to watch music? drama?

You must know that Xu Xian was one of the people he was most optimistic about. He has a humble personality and solid dancing and singing skills. The key is that his popularity is not too terrible, and the price can be kept low, but there is no future...

To this day, the voice on the phone sounds familiar to him: "Hello, are you really Xu Xian?"

"Of course, if you don't believe it, we can meet and chat later!" Xu Xian replied with a wry smile. This phone number was provided by Xiuying's Ernie.

"I definitely don't mean not to believe it, but why did you call me? Do you want to make a musical?" After Zheng Zaixing said this, he became excited. This way, at least the last two years of his life have been complete.

"Well, I haven't considered this aspect yet, but I personally don't object to musicals. There may be opportunities in the future!" Xu Xian said politely: "I wonder if you are free now? I have some work matters that I want to ask of you. you!"

"Of course, shall I come find you?" After learning that Xu Xian would arrive at the coffee shop downstairs in ten minutes, Zheng Zaixing first took a minute to confirm that this was not a dream, and then seemed to be chased by a dog. Then he started to pack up and dress up at the speed of light.

So when meeting Xu Houxian, his first reaction was to resist the urge to cover his nose with his hands. It was too impolite to do so, but was the other person wearing too much perfume?

If it is the first time for people to come into contact with Xu Xian, they will feel very good. He is polite, understanding and simple, which makes Zheng Zaixing feel that talking about money with Xu Xian is quite vulgar.

"Does that mean you're going to use hundreds of musical actors?"

"Yes, but it's not a one-time event, it's divided into batches and time periods, but the first show in Seoul must be the largest!" After all, I have stayed with Li Menglong for long enough, so I still need to have this momentum.

"The problem with people is not big, and the music aspect is not a problem, but what are you doing this for?" Zheng Zaixing is really thinking about Xu Xian. This kind of informal private work will start at least 100,000 yuan even if it is cheaper again. Yes, after all, there are rehearsals and so on, multiplied by one hundred...

"You don't have to worry about this! Anyway, let's gather the people together first. Can I start the rehearsal tonight?" Maybe he felt that it was a bit harsh to say this, so Xu Xian added: "Sorry to trouble you!"

He had to agree just for Xu Xian's sake, not to mention it was a good thing to make money, so that night hundreds of musical actors gathered together in a rehearsal hall, and they all asked about what the big deal was this time. project.

However, when Xu Xian walked in as a boss, the contrast was a bit big. Many people were curious about what this idol was doing.

Facing the gaze of hundreds of people, it was the first time to operate such a large project. Although it only lasted a few days, it would be unrealistic to say that he was not nervous. However, Xu Xian still got through it, although the first sentence was a little bit... The broken sound did not affect Seohyun's wonderful first appearance.

"I know everyone is wondering why I'm here, but I can't tell you now." As Xu Xian waved, several staff members handed everyone a brief temporary contract: "The salary and number of days are all written on If you are satisfied, please sign this confidentiality agreement. If you are not satisfied..."

Xu Xian pointed at the door. The meaning was quite obvious, and even a bit provocative. There were indeed a few people at the scene who couldn't stand a yellow-haired girl ordering them around, but most of them stayed because of Qian's face. , at least listen to the content. Anyway, I signed the confidentiality agreement.

As Xu Xian talked about it, everyone was shocked by this handwriting. Although it seemed quite simple when thinking about it, the difference between thinking and doing it was huge.

"Since everyone understands, I'll leave it to you. Although I have relatively little qualifications, I have also been learning piano since I was a child. I have nearly ten years of music experience from a trainee to now. If you have any opinions, you can discuss them together, but I hope that I can For the Lord!" Xu Xian's words were quite level. If Li Menglong saw him, he would probably be very pleased.

"Then let's learn this song first. I'll sing it a cappella first. You are my destiny..."
