Entertainment: I really want to make progress

"Wow! Dafa! Yoona, you are chosen!"

A short girl clapped her hands and shouted in surprise.

"Is it me?"

The girl, as pure and beautiful as a deer, was overwhelmed by the surprise. She covered her mouth and froze in place, feeling unbelievable.

Assi!

Several girls near them suddenly lost their expressions, and they all cast envious and jealous glances at the girl named Lin Yuner.

They are also new trainees arranged by SM Company. They were placed in the waiting area and have already prepared for the stage in advance.

For trainees who have just debuted or are about to debut, every stage is an opportunity that needs to be cherished.

Especially being able to show up in such a public place and performing on the same stage as Zhou Yutang, who is very popular in South Korea recently.

If it cooperates with the company's follow-up press release to promote it, it will definitely attract a wave of traffic, and maybe it will become popular.

I really envy the girl chosen by Zhou Yutang.

He looks ordinary, why? !

"It's you, come with me."

The guardrail at the scene was a bit high. Yoona tried it but couldn't get over it. She wanted to take a detour, but there were people around and she couldn't find the way.

Seeing that she was so anxious that she was about to shed tears, Zhou Yutang smiled slightly and motioned for her to give her hand to him.

Although the language is not clear, the actions can still be understood.

Lin Yun'er was slightly startled, then obediently stretched out her hand.

Zhou Yutang exerted a little strength and carried her light and weightless body into the arena.

Wow!

There was another burst of excited cheers at the scene.

Zhou Yutang's boyfriend is now full of energy.

I don’t know how many female fans at the scene wanted to change with this lucky girl at this moment.

Lin Yoona felt like she was in a dream. In fact, several members of their girl group came today, as well as several seed trainees from the company at the same time.

I didn't expect that I would become this lucky person.

After taking the stage.

Zhou Yutang put Lin Yuner down very gentlemanly, made a gesture of invitation, then took her hand and walked to the middle of the stage together.

"Senior, hello, my name is Lim Yoona, a member of SM's girl group Girls' Generation, and a fan of yours, senior."

Lin Yun'er bowed to Zhou Yutang respectfully and spoke stumblingly in Chinese with a rather strange accent.

This not only expresses her polite attitude, but also demonstrates her personal skills.

After all, Chinese is a very high-end language in South Korea. Although Korean has been promoted in recent years, the upper-level prosecutors and some legal provisions in South Korea are all written in Chinese.

Zhou Yutang held his hands up, feeling a little uncomfortable.

Before coming here, I asked Sister Shuang to do some homework in advance.

Each circle has different rules.

The culture of the entertainment industry in South Korea is like this. The younger generations almost follow a perverted politeness towards their seniors. If they are disrespectful at all, they will be criticized.

"Hello, Yoona."

Zhou Yutang brought up the topic in a gentle voice: "You speak Chinese very well. It's nice to meet you. Can you sing the song "I want to see you?"

"Yes, I like this song very much."

Lin Yoona smiled, then nodded vigorously, and said with some excitement: "This TV series tells a very beautiful story, please support me! I am really, really happy that I can stand on the stage and sing together with my seniors today." Very touched.”

This sentence is too complicated, she said it directly in Korean.

However, there was an interpreter on stage, so Zhou Yutang had no problem communicating.

"Then, let's get started."

Zhou Yutang nodded, stood together with Lin Yuner, and continued to wave to the audience off the stage.

The man is handsome and the woman is beautiful. This is so eye-catching.

Zhou Yutang is recognized as a handsome guy, and Lin Yoona is also very good-looking, otherwise she wouldn't be the face of SM Entertainment's Girls' Generation.

The familiar accompaniment sounded, and the stills of "I Want to Meet You" were projected on the big screen on the stage. The sunny and handsome Li Ziwei seemed to have arrived through time and space, and instantly conquered everyone below the stage.

The singing also started.

When love is left as a relic~ carved into memories with pictograms~~

Missing you for centuries is what will be unforgettable

When the song started playing, the crowd cheered and screamed without stopping, and the South Korean media flashed their lights wildly.

Such a scene shocked some people in the South Korean entertainment industry present.

It’s not that the Raptors can’t cross the river!

But why is Zhou Yutang so popular?

It is no exaggeration to say that this event site is not far behind the concerts of some South Korean male singers.

The two of them cooperated quite well, and Lin Yuner continued the second half of the sentence:

"Your smile is so healing~ It makes life come alive~

The scenery without you is like a ruin

Like a lost civilization”

……………………

Zhou Yutang was a little impressed by this innocent and beautiful girl who looked like a deer.

In fact, you can tell it by listening to the Chinese accent.

This girl has obviously done her homework carefully, at least these lyrics are quite similar to what she sang.

Zhou Yutang became very popular, and Lin Yoona also received a lot of cheers, which made the little girl's eyes turn red with excitement.

This was a wonderful experience that she had never had before.

"I want to see you, I just want to see you, the future has passed, I just want to see you"

"Thousands of people have traveled through time. In the timeline, they are dependent on each other in the sea of ​​people."

……………………

The climax part of the song was sung by Zhou Yutang and Lin Yoona together, and all the audience in the audience spontaneously hummed along with the tune.

Zhou Yutang was a little surprised to find that this girl named Lin Yuner not only had outstanding looks, but also had above-average singing skills such as vocalization and transposition.

It may not be as talented as some monsters, but it is very difficult for her to be able to achieve this level at her age, and her stage performance is also very good.

The cooperation between the two people was very smooth, which raised the atmosphere in the audience to another peak.

The time for one song passed quickly. Lin Yoona followed the staff down the special channel, while Zhou Yutang continued his activities on the stage.

The event ended about half an hour later. Zhou Yutang returned to the locker room at the back and suddenly saw Youdao's handsome figure huddled in the corner.

"Yooner, why are you here?"

Zhou Yutang asked in surprise.

"Senior, thank you for giving me this opportunity."

Lin Yun'er stood up with excitement and was about to bow again, but Zhou Yutang waved his hand to stop him.

Her cheeks were red, her mouth was slightly open, she was trying hard to organize her vocabulary, and spoke in Chinese: "I am your loyal fan. Can you sign your name for me?"

Compared to the lively and confident persona on stage, he seems a bit shy in real life when he is new to it.

"Of course. You have been practicing hard for a long time for this meeting, right?"

Zhou Yutang took the small card she handed over, signed his name on it with a pen and wrote a special line in Chinese - I wish Lin Yuner a smooth debut, come on!

"It's really difficult to practice, but it's worth it to see Oppa. I'm going to take the Chinese proficiency test."

Lin Yoona was a little flattered.

Unexpectedly, Zhou Yutang was so gentle and easy to talk to. Not only did he sign her autograph, but they also took a group photo together.

Now I felt less restrained, put away the signature card, and carefully stored it in my pink wallet.

The two of them didn't communicate much before Yoona's manager came over. After exchanging a few words with Li Shuang, he learned that this young girl who had just debuted was going to go out for a trip soon, and there were two events in the evening.

For a girl group like them that has just debuted and is still in its infancy in terms of popularity, they will take on almost any schedule.

For example, some performances in shopping malls or school road shows in other areas, the prices are ridiculously low, mainly to give them a stage to show themselves.

Basically, I have less than three hours of rest every day, and I almost always sleep in the car during the trip.

Zhou Yutang also felt a little emotional about this.

This kind of involution environment can be said to be much scarier than internal entertainment. It is simply hell mode.

However, those who fought in this hell mode have very solid basic skills in singing and dancing.

Zhou Yutang sat in the business car and rubbed his forehead: "Sister Shuang, what are your plans for the next trip?"

"There is also an opening event for a shopping mall owned by CJ Group below, and there is also a dinner with Lee Soo Man, the boss of SM Company, in the evening."

"Li Xiuman invited me to dinner?"

Zhou Yutang paused for a moment, with a hint of curiosity in his voice.

"Yeah, I have a lot of trips today. If you don't want to go, I will push you away?"

"Go ahead, I'm quite sincere."

Zhou Yutang laughed softly.

Sm Company was so sincere that it quoted 500,000 yuan for an event, which is almost the price of a commercial performance by a top domestic entertainment star.

but.

I want to cooperate with Sm's public relations department in the future to promote it and bring a wave of traffic to Girls' Generation.

Zhou Yutang still has a good impression of Lin Yuner, a girl who works hard to learn Chinese.

He was also quite interested in meeting Lee Soo Man, the man who single-handedly brought Hallyu to all of Asia.

Starting from scratch, he was able to bring SM Entertainment from scratch to the first entertainment company listed on the Kosdaq market in South Korea. This person can be said to be the big boss in the South Korean entertainment industry.

At the end of the commercial performance, there was an unexpected harvest.

This is a newly opened shopping mall owned by South Korea's CJ chaebol. It's very easy to make money, and they also give away a lot of famous Korean cosmetics.

Zhou Yutang was not interested in this and just asked Li Shuang to help handle it.

……………………

night.

Apgujeong, Gangnam-gu, Seoul.

A fine restaurant.

Zhou Yutang met the famous Manmanzi.

This middle-aged man had a neat suit and a pair of black-rimmed glasses. When he saw Zhou Yutang, he pushed away his chair and stood up, and said:

"Nine itches, nine itches."

"President Li, can you speak Chinese?"

Zhou Yutang was shocked.

President is the honorific title given to the company boss here.

"I know a little bit and can speak a few words."

When Li Xiuman smiled, his eyes narrowed into slits, and the creases at the corners of his eyes opened, making him look like an old fox.

He really can only say a few words.

However, there was another young girl sitting next to Li Xiuman who acted as an interpreter for him, and she took the initiative to bow to Zhou Yutang and say hello:

"Hello, Zhou Yutang, I am Song Xi, from Tianchao, a trainee of SM Company. Nice to meet you."

"Hello."

Zhou Yutang shook hands politely, nodded and smiled.

When you meet a beautiful compatriot with such a cheerful smile in a foreign country, you will naturally feel a sense of closeness.

In fact, in order to communicate smoothly tonight, Sister Shuang is also with me.

Li Xiuman said something with a smile. Song Xi nodded and immediately translated: "The president said that he admires you very much. If there is a chance, he hopes that both parties can cooperate."

"cooperate?"

Zhou Yutang's eyes quietly moved from Song Xi to Li Xiuman opposite, and asked slowly: "Why me? There are many stars in China who are more famous than me."

Li Xiuman still had the old fox-like signature smile, leaned his elbows on the table, leaned forward slightly, and talked a lot.

Then he pointed at his own eyes, and then at Zhou Yutang.

A trace of surprise flashed across Song Xi's eyes, and he translated as follows: "The president said that he never misses people when he looks at people. You have the potential necessary for success. It's a pity that you have already made your debut in China, otherwise you would enter SM Company. In the future, we can become an existence like TVXQ.”

Sister Shuang also leaned into Zhou Yutang's ear and said a few words.

Song Xi really didn't translate blindly, it was indeed Li Xiuman's original words.

Zhou Yutang laughed dumbly.

TVXQ is a boy band composed of four boys: Jung Yunho, Kim Jaejoong, Park Yoochun and Kim Junsu.

He debuted in South Korea in 2003. In just a few years, he was promoted to a South Korean top group and became popular throughout Asia. Even China has many of their Fairy Queen fans. The Chinese boy group Fahrenheit has emerged in recent years, but It is the bankrupt version of TVXQ, and its popularity is also very good.

As the man behind the scenes leading the trend of Asian boy bands, Lee Soo Man is obviously very optimistic about Zhou Yutang's personal conditions to be able to say such a thing.

"It's a pity that I'm not very good at singing, dancing and rapping"

Zhou Yutang smiled and asked Li Shuang to translate: "It is an honor for me to be recognized by President Li. I am also very interested in the South Korean entertainment industry. If there is a chance, I would like to set up a studio here. Maybe I can There are opportunities for collaboration.”

Along the way, he didn't even know how much bread he ate.

He also knows how dark the South Korean entertainment company is.

It’s okay to make money through cooperation, but don’t let me, Zhou Yutang, be a dog.

"oh?"

Li Xiuman pushed up the glasses on the bridge of her nose and asked with interest: "How do you want to cooperate?"

"What does Director Li know about me?"

Zhou Yutang stirred the coffee with a spoon and asked questions instead of continuing.

What a fun little guy, do you want to take control of the conversation?

A smile appeared on the corner of Li Xiuman's mouth, and she crossed her fingers and said: "You studied at the Beijing Film Academy, and you are the best in the school's history. You made your debut last year, established your own studio, invested in and starred in a TV series adapted from your own novel, and you have gained a good reputation. Very good, you have just finished filming a TV series and are preparing to direct and star in your first movie."

"You are not only a best-selling author in China, but also an outstanding young actor, screenwriter, and investor."

When Song Xi translated, his head felt a little dizzy.

She is involved in the South Korean entertainment industry, and most of her news about the domestic entertainment industry is obtained from the entertainment section of the portal website. She only knows that Zhou Yutang is very popular now.

But I really didn’t expect that this brother is so powerful? !

Victoria Song's eyes looked at Zhou Yutang, shining with shock and admiration.

No wonder the usually strict teacher Lee Soo Man has such an attitude.

You old thing, you installed surveillance cameras around me, right?

Seeing that he knew his information very well, Zhou Yutang secretly complained in his heart. On the surface, he was unmoved. Instead, there was a slight arc in the corner of his mouth: "President Li knows a lot about me. I have a question. I want to ask you, what is the most important thing in the entertainment industry?" ?”

"work."

Li Xiuman said without hesitation.

These days, it’s really impossible for an artist to become popular without a good work.

But a classic is enough to make an artist soar to the top.

"If there is an opportunity in the future, I will build a studio in South Korea to specialize in film and television copyright content operations. I will ask Director Lee for your guidance."

Zhou Yutang smiled lightly.

Many of his works are suitable for adaptation into film and television dramas.

Just like "Want to Meet You", the ratings in South Korea are also quite amazing. Although it is not a national hit drama, it can definitely be called a phenomenon-level hit.

This can be seen from the discussion posts on the South Korean naver search forum. Nowadays, many young South Koreans like this drama.

In front of this old fox, Zhou Yutang did not hide his thoughts.

Because Sister Shuang has said it before, SM is very good at creating idol boy and girl groups, but there is a very serious shortcoming.

That is, the ability to write film and television dramas is extremely poor, and even the entire company's artists combined do not have a good film and television drama. This is unimaginable in domestic entertainment.

There is also an invisible chain of contempt in the South Korean film and television industry.

People in the film industry look down on people who make TV series, people who make TV series look down on singers, and singers look down on idols.

Those idols whom fans call idols must nod and bow ninety degrees to say hello when they meet seniors in the industry who are filming TV series and movies.

Sm company is known as a flower field, filled with young, fresh, and young flowers. In recent years, Lee Soo Man has intentionally established an actor department just to improve the quality of his artists. As a result, he invested a lot of money, and the movies and TV series produced were not even splashy. .

Li Xiuman was indeed very interested and asked: "The Chinese market is so big, why do you want to develop a branch in South Korea?"

Because I want to get your money.

Zhou Yutang chuckled and said: "I think this is a market with great potential."

After that, the two chatted for more than two hours, and Song Xi was speechless. However, the more he understood the content of Li Xiuman and Zhou Yutang's conversation, the more shocked he became.

Zhou Yutang is by no means just a new and popular niche student. He is talking to Li Xiuman from an equal position.

Originally, the two of them wanted to continue talking, but Li Xiuman received a call from a company. He had important matters to deal with temporarily, so he had to give up. However, he still left his contact information. He was obviously interested in the cooperation model proposed by Zhou Yutang. .

"Song Xi, see off the guests for me."

"Okay, teacher."

Song Xi let out a sigh of relief, it was finally over.

In fact, she is one year older than Zhou Yutang. She is still a trainee and has suffered a lot, but she doesn't know what will happen in the future.

Looking at Zhou Yutang again, he has already skyrocketed and can even talk about cooperation with a big shot like Li Xiuman.

Everyone has nine years of compulsory education, and this guy is so good.

After leaving the door, Zhou Yutang took the initiative and said, "I'll take you back."

"ah?"

Song Qian was stunned for a moment, then waved her hand out of reserve and said, "It's okay if you don't have to. I'll take a taxi back to the company later."

"It's not safe for girls to take a taxi alone at night."

Zhou Yutang smiled, opened the car door for her, got in the car first, patted the seat next to him: "Come up."
