The Rise of Korean Entertainment

Life will never stop according to the will of some people. Although Li Menglong is still lazily leading the crew to work day by day, the girls who are familiar with him know that he will not be able to survive for more than a few days. Now he is The state of wanting to refuse but to welcome again.

Different from the Please Reply period, your script is actually being modified, especially for the fifth episode, which is the big move, and the subsequent plot is brought forward. Everyone can see how hard Li Menglong stayed up late to write the script in those days. In the eyes.

So it’s really not difficult to extend your plot a little longer, and it can even be said to be more in line with the structure of the plot. It’s just that Li Menglong, a bitch, went too far with his attitude some time ago, and now he can’t change his old face even if he changes his mind.

Fortunately, there are still many people around to persuade him. It is estimated that he will give up in two days. Of course, it is not ruled out that he wants to blackmail MBC more. After all, Li Enxi is still negotiating there.

And Li Menglong was already secretly thinking about new plots every night. It was not good to slap him in the face, otherwise it would be bad if Li Menglong became angry from shame, so the girls just pretended that they didn't notice anything.

Besides, they all have their own things to do, so they don't have much time to spend with Li Menglong. As Asia's top idol group and the head girl of SW, the girls' schedules are never lacking.

The normal rhythm is to hold concerts for a year, and then come back to release an album for a year. It is similar to the cycle of studying and making money, but on the one hand, it is the Asian tour and world tour that s*m did in the past two years. There are a lot of tours, so we still need to give fans some time to cultivate themselves.

In addition, although SW has been making rapid progress overseas, it still needs to slow down a little. Li Enxi means that it will not be outsourced, and it will be done by its own company. It will happen sooner or later anyway.

With Girls' Generation as a brand, fans won't be too surprised if they occasionally make some small mistakes. It's just that not going to the concert doesn't mean the girls have much free time. A series of plans never stop.

And after giving everyone their own development opportunities, although it cannot be said to be a comparison, no one wants to do too poorly. Even Xiaoyuan has been living so well recently.

In South Korea, variety shows, TV dramas, and singing songs are the three most common ways for idols. Originally, the threshold for TV dramas was very high, but after the sudden emergence of four cable channels, although their TV dramas were not only in terms of quantity, quality, but The audience size is completely incomparable to that of wireless stations.

But this is also a TV series, just like you can't say that a tractor is not a car, right? Although many big names are disdainful of filming TV series for cable TV stations, isn't this just an advantage for these idols?

And girls are idols among idols, so they naturally received many scripts. Yuli became the protagonist, and Pani also played the second female lead in another drama. She may have a solo role in the second half of the year.

Girls now don’t know what to do. It’s as if after studying for ten years from elementary school to high school, students are suddenly thrown into the society. He doesn’t even know what he likes or is good at.

Fortunately, they can still try. Even if they receive bad reviews for a while, as long as the girls work together for a period of time and successfully clear their name every minute, they will be in an invincible position.

What's more, there is the great god Li Menglong behind him, so he can't be too stable. As a result, the girls were like nine-colored flowers, attacking in different directions, with good and bad results. The best one was Yoona, who was considered to have earned a profit.

Like Pani, fans are begging her to go solo as soon as possible. She can be embarrassed to death even if she acts in a scene, but most of the teasing is done, and Pani can tolerate it. Anyway, there are many ways out.

Some time ago, they were either busy with Lee Mong-ryong or busy with their own development, but these all had a rough plan. For example, after Lee Mong-ryong's TV series stabilized, Lee Soon-gyu and Kim Taeyeon were immediately stationed when they were free again. In the company's recording studio.

There are not many singers in Sw. Exid is in Japan now, and Kim Jong Kook is busy taking care of his confinement, so he is not afraid of anyone competing with them. Then the girls also started to clear up the work at hand one after another. The next wave of work may be It has been pushed to the beginning of September, and the almost two months in between are the time they agreed with their fans for the mid-year mini-album.

Releasing an album is naturally something that girls are familiar with, but when their superiors were only responsible for allocating money and not caring about anything else, Lee Soon Kyu and Kim Taeyeon were a little confused.

To this day, they still remember the scene of their conversation with Li Enxi that day. The two of them walked to Li Enxi's office with the extremely irregular budget draft that they had worked on for two days. They were still a little nervous, after all, they were here to ask for money. Yes, it's still official business, so it's inevitable to be a little panicked for the first time.

The two of them only had a rough idea of ​​the budget. Lee Soon Kyu even secretly asked Lee Soo Man, and then they got the overall budget for Girls' Generation's albums in the past. The budget fluctuated quite a lot because there were too many uncertainties.

The purchase price of the song itself, the number of staff, and even the promotion of the album release, everything is money. Although Park Xiangmin will help with a lot of things when the time comes, only the two of them can handle the money.

Based on the original album, the two felt that they could save a little bit, so they cut a lot and quoted a price of 600 million. Of course, they still had a reserve price in mind, if Li Enxi wanted to reduce it.

When they just walked into the office, the first thing they heard was the noisy ringing of the phone. Although Li Enxi was on the phone, the other two mobile phones and the extra landline were ringing. He stretched out his hand to motion for them to sit down. I was shocked by the strong woman's attitude on the other side.

Sitting down obediently, after waiting for a long time, Li Enxi finally had a little free time, and he was ready to go out immediately: "To make a long story short! Although I also want to chat with you!"

"Here, it's our Girls' Generation album budget!" Kim Taeyeon looked at the other party's state and didn't elaborate. She just turned to the first page of the outline and planned to point it out to Li Eunxi.

"Album?" Li Enxi was stunned for a moment, then realized: "Your mid-year mini-album, right? What a brain!"

This matter was strongly promoted by Li Eunxi at the beginning. After all, the two directors were not focused on doing serious business at the time, so they could only squeeze the girls who were easy to bully. It’s just that things are different now...

Li Enxi actually wanted to say that this matter should be postponed to the end of the year, but looking at Kim Taeyeon's small eyes, she felt that it was too unhuman to lie to this girl, so she changed her mind temporarily: "But the company has been tight on manpower recently!"

"Huh?" Li Shunkyu was also stunned when he heard this. Is this an excuse to refuse? Or am I just stating the facts, but I always have to answer: "We don't need any manpower, it's just the album, we ourselves..."

Li Soonkyu actually wanted to say that we should spend our own money to hire outsiders, but the topic was directly taken up by Li Eunxi: "You can do it yourself? That would be great!"

While speaking, Li Enxi directly turned to the last page of the document, glanced at the total amount of the budget, and thought that these two girls would never open their mouths, so they signed directly, and an additional ten million was approved: " This ten million is your extra food expenses. You have lost weight recently, so eat more!"

Holding the documents in their hands, this piece of paper contained many physical albums, more cash than Kim Taeyeon, and of course, extremely heavy responsibilities. The two girls felt that it was too unreal.

Li Enxi had already walked out, but he still turned around and added: "Well, the company is looking forward to your results. I believe you will make the company reach a higher level!"

Neither Lee Soon Kyu nor Lee Soon Kyu believed what they said, otherwise she, Lee Eun Hee, would be busy with those two TV series and just watch over their Girls' Generation. As for Lee Eun Hee's signature without hesitation, the two of them also realized it later.

Is Sw short of money now? Their budget is not as much as the cash that Li Menglong can get from filming one more episode. Besides, given their reputation as Girls' Generation, as long as they don't mess around, they will never get paid for releasing an album, so why waste limited manpower on them? What about here?

As a result, Girls' Generation has gained the greatest freedom in the history of their albums. This time, even Lee Mong-ryong is no longer around to take care of the situation. They can decide everything from song selection, dance, styling and even album cover by themselves, which makes them very happy. I'm not used to it.

Just in case, just in case the final album sales are not good, this responsibility...

After dispelling the thoughts in his mind, Li Shunkyu had to focus his eyes on the scene in front of him. Because the other girls were still busy, the initial song selection was made by the two of them, and then everyone picked from the subsequent songs. A few songs.

It's just that this initial screening is a bit difficult. Anyone who dares to say that the song he picked must be good. It's not a hidden message that Kim Taeyeon didn't like Gee's song at first.

If Kim Taeyeon had as much power as she does now, Gee would definitely have been passed in the first round. So after this experience, Kim Taeyeon feels that any song is good, because who knows which song will become a hit.

"Oh, I'm so annoyed! Why are there so many songs?" Kim Taeyeon said irritably.

"Our company is a company that produces TV series and movies every year. Not to mention we have several groups of singers. We use too many songs every year, but we don't even have a few of them saved!" Li Soonkyu said, leaning on his arm.

The facts are similar. The main reason is that SW has never been short of money, and songs are a process that needs to be accumulated, so the company has been collecting songs for more than a year, and even has a few composers who are regular collaborators.

Although the quality of the songs varies, the number has reached several hundred. No wonder Taeyeon felt irritable listening to it. Such demo songs don’t sound so good.

"How about we hire a producer!" Lee Soon Kyu seemed to have a good idea, but then Kim Taeyeon glared back.

That's right, the chief producer of this album is named Kim and named Taeyeon. The nickname is too soft, so he is nicknamed Kim Taehwa!
