The Rise of Korean Entertainment

(Thanks to "Bull Demon King Generation" for the six million rewards on the 11th and 13th. The first update has arrived. It took so long. Sorry again!)

How much money should be given to Kim Taeyeon is also a question. It doesn't matter if you give too much or too little. Li Menglong himself regretted this suggestion. As for him and the girls, it was really a bad debt in terms of money.

Even now, Li Menglong has basically never spent his own money on food in the dormitory. Even when he goes out to buy breakfast, he usually takes some out of the change box at the door.

Ordinary people's coin boxes contain coins worth one hundred or two hundred dollars, but here, the girls see stacks of tens of thousands of yuan in banknotes. There is no coin box, and there are even coins from Unopened bundles of banknotes were taken out of the bank.

The girls remembered the money here, or saw that there was not much money left, so they took out all the cash in the wallet and put it there. The one who usually puts it away the most often is Xu Xian, because this girl is careful and It’s not much money to put out at one time.

Unlike people like Li Sungyu, who are careless and forget it a few times, they go directly to the bank to pick it up. So most of the girls who order takeout and Li Menglong who goes downstairs to buy breakfast get it here.

Li Menglong doesn't have to worry about the food in the dormitory. Maybe every woman has the desire to shop. When nine girls who are not short of money get together and there is no communication in advance, sometimes the express delivery rushes together in one day. , that scene was very spectacular.

As for Lee Menglong's own pocket money, it was always given by Lee Soonkyu. Her own Girls' Generation dividends were the daily expenses of the two of them. As for their dividends from SW Company, they were always reinvested by Lee Eunxi.

Lee Soon-kyu himself is not good at dressing up. He doesn't have a love for bags, but he doesn't have any hobbies for collecting them. She is a rare good wife. Lee Meng-ryong is at least quite contented, although this wife can eat a little.

In addition to delicious food, Li Shunkyu's biggest expense is on 3C products. Computers, phones, and game consoles are so fast that they change generations. As long as the other party feels new, she dares to change them! If Lee Mong-ryong is willing to keep picking up Lee Soon-kyu's cell phone, he probably won't be left behind.

However, for a rich woman with an income of hundreds of millions in half a year, buying some digital products is really a very economical hobby. So although the couple can be said to have no shortage of money, the strange thing is that they can't spend much. money.

And Li Menglong may have been influenced by the past. Although he can't be said to be stingy, he always subconsciously avoids paying the bill. For example, when eating with girls, he simply doesn't mention paying the bill. When he goes out to eat with Liu Zaishi and the gang, he gets drunk every time. Yes, the one who pays the final bill is always Yoo Jae Suk, who doesn’t drink.

Fortunately, inviting Li Menglong to dinner is not an embarrassing thing, because Li Menglong has given everyone a lot of help, but he needs very little in return. Although inviting Li Menglong to dinner does not mean anything, it can at least make everyone feel more comfortable.

So what can I say about Li Menglong's view of money? In some aspects, it is still relatively narrow. So when he reported a figure of 8,530,000 with zeros and rounded parts, he almost got a few people who were eating noodles. Squirt out.

After a series of violent coughs, Kim Taeyeon shouted unyieldingly: "Lee Menglong! You are insulting me! I, Kim Taeyeon, would rather die than surrender!"

Just when the girls were about to applaud Kim Taeyeon, Kim Taeyeon almost immediately responded: "Don't talk to me without 10 million to start a conversation!"

The girls sighed collectively. Sure enough, they couldn't look at these two people with normal thinking. But how much should a normal album producer pay?

To be honest, even Kim Taeyeon doesn't know. After all, no one would stupidly ask Kim Jong Kook: How much do you earn from producing an album, so Kim Taeyeon's answer is completely based on Lee Mongryong's.

As for Li Menglong's price, he just felt that the number 853 sounded inexplicably favorable. In fact, the money was really not much. Kim Taeyeon's last variety show had more than that.

But the nature of the work is different. She is not the big star Kim Taeyeon now, but a newcomer in the position of producer. To put it bluntly, she is giving money to buy experience. Kim Taeyeon has done it, so she can do it if she can. Contented.

So the fee for Kim Taeyeon's first album producer was completely settled - 18.53 million!

At first, Kim Taeyeon was quite happy, but then she slowly came to her senses. This was wrong. She wanted 600 million from Lee Eun-hee, so why should she get 10% of it? It was too much. Just like Lee Soon Kyu, the rest is his own.

But when she thought of Lee Soon Kyu, she immediately regained her composure, because Lee Soon Kyu's variety show not only made money, but she also paid a lot of money into it in the end. As for this album, maybe these girls will die in the end. She is well aware of the power of the nine of them together. To be honest, the meal cost is enough to drink a pot.

Fortunately, the money in her hand was only for production costs. For the later operations, Park Xiangmin would ask the company for money. After figuring it out, Kim Taeyeon began to feel happy. The money was all with her anyway, so she should pay it to herself first. .

Although she is not short of money, the more than 10 million feels different. At least it is not earned with the status of an idol. It is a full sense of accomplishment. What should I reward myself with? A big meal?

The dazed day passed. When Kim Taeyeon woke up the next day, she and Lee Soonkyu were the only two idlers in the room. To be precise, they were working, but there was no one to supervise them.

Kim Taeyeon crawled out of bed with great perseverance, sat on the floor and leaned against the end of the bed, and slept for another ten minutes. She slept on the toilet for another five minutes before she finally woke up.

Kim Taeyeon's willpower is relatively strong when she is sober. In other words, the shortcomings of losers are all kinds of strange, but the advantages of successful people are similar, and self-control is a very important one.

Although the girls are usually very carefree, as if even eating is too hard, but when they really have to do something serious, these girls are willing to work hard. For example, Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu are now doing it without supervision. , I left home before two o'clock! It’s still afternoon!

"That's almost it. Don't comfort yourself. I'm blushing!" Even Lee Soon Kyu couldn't stand Kim Taeyeon's boasting. It was already too late to come out at two o'clock, but no one knew about it, so there was no need to do it himself. Find the steps and go down by yourself.

"Tsk, am I doing this just for myself? Aren't I afraid of embarrassing you?" Kim Taeyeon said pretending to be calm. To be honest, it's hard to avoid being a little relaxed about this kind of self-supervision.

Especially now that Kim Taeyeon and others are like wild children. No one from the company or Lee Mongryong cares about them. They happened to postpone all activities for the album. Kim Taeyeon said in an extremely serious tone: "How about setting up a scene tomorrow?" Ring it!”

Li Soonkyu instinctively wanted to refute, but in the end he knew that their moral character was not in a life-and-death situation, so they could not rely on their self-discipline. This is just like losing weight. Although I lose weight all year round, I only lose weight when I want to release an album.

"Then let's set it up for eleven o'clock!"

"Then it's better not to set it! Ten...nine...fifty!" Kim Taeyeon couldn't bear to be too harsh to herself, so she set such an embarrassing time.

Sure enough, it is good for you to be cruel to yourself. When I think of getting up early tomorrow morning to work, the guilt I felt for getting up late today disappeared a lot. While the boss lady went to the bathroom, I directly booked two plates of fried chicken and brought them to the third floor. The official work of the two began.

As the saying goes, if you haven't eaten pork, you haven't seen a pig running. What's more, Kim Taeyeon has eaten a lot of pork, so she can't be said to be familiar with choosing songs, but at least she has her own ideas.

Their album will basically be released in mid-to-late August, just in time for the end of summer. They won't have too long to sing, so they can just go straight to the refreshing music of midsummer.

After the style is determined, a small half can be screened out, and then it becomes the so-called good or not. This will test the producer's ability. It is necessary to select songs that are popular and suitable for the singers themselves. This matter cannot be said to be simple, but It's definitely not difficult.

There are a lot of Korean songs every year, not to mention the non-hit songs that are used to make up the album. I can’t say 100% of the title songs that groups come out with every time they come back, but at least 70% of them are songs of pretty good quality.

After all, there is too much investment before and after releasing an album, and you won’t save so much money on songs, so you can more or less find some good songs.

However, some of these songs are popular and some are unknown. This cannot be said to be a problem with the quality of the songs. It depends on the popularity, strength and packaging of the singers themselves.

Take the girls as an example. Apart from Gee’s divine song, all other songs have also become popular, but will they have the same impact if they are sung by a new group such as Apink? Absolutely not!

But what about giving Apink’s songs to girls? That's the rhythm that brainwashes the whole of Asia, so to put it more bluntly, girls have passed the age where they rely 100% on songs for support.

By analogy, it's as if Jun Ji-hyun comes out to make a movie. No matter how bad the script is, people will come to watch it because of her fame. This is the state of girls. As long as the songs are not unpleasant to listen to, they will basically be popular.

This is also the biggest reason for Kim Taeyeon's confidence. After all, she is one of the people who knows the group Girls' Generation best. She knows what kind of magic these four words will produce. She also knows that the nine of them will be together. It makes so many people crazy.

But the more this happened, Kim Taeyeon felt that she had to be more cautious. She couldn't just pick a song and throw it out to fool the fans. This was an insult to their name. So Kim Taeyeon put a red headband on her head, with two big characters written on it, "Winning", pressed the mouse with one hand and held the drumstick with the other, and started to pick songs!

"Song! Good song! Good brother, come out quickly..."
