The king of Korean entertainment

"I specifically asked Brother Xianjun for a bottle of soju." Tai Ya suddenly took out a bottle of soju as if offering a treasure.

"No wonder you brought so much pork belly." Jin Shengyuan said with a smile. "Pork belly + soju + karaoke room" has become an indispensable way of entertainment for Koreans.

"Hehe," Taeyeon smiled and wrapped a piece of grilled pork belly for herself, squeezed her cheeks twice before stuffing it into her mouth with her head raised, without any sense of scruples about her image.

It was precisely because of Taeyeon's casual and straightforward appearance that Seo Hyun, who was already dull, did not realize that he needed to avoid suspicion at all.

"Come on, Xiaoxian, open your mouth." Taeyeon said to Xu Xian.

Xu Xian stared at the bulging lettuce in Taeyeon's hand, and said, "Sister, too..." Before he could finish speaking, Taeyeon stuffed the lettuce into his mouth.

"Woooo..." Xu Xian was the kind of character who would never waste food, so he could only barely move his stuffed mouth.

"Hehe," Taeyeon clapped her hands and let out a burst of "humane" laughter.She just gave it to Xu Xian according to the model of entrusting it to Jin Shengyuan. Seeing Xu Xian's embarrassed look, she couldn't help but think of the situation when she was eating like Jin Shengyuan.

...Taeyeon and Seo Hyun didn't stay at Kim Sung Won's company much, they had a program announcement at night, so they got up to leave after eating.

"Brother Sheng Yuan, you must pay attention to your body." Xu Xian urged earnestly.Every time she watched "Two Days and One Night", she was a little scared, especially Jin Shengyuan recorded for three days and two nights this time, and the signing event was held the next day. Xu Xian was frightened when he heard that Jin Shengyuan's right hand was swollen one jump.

"Well," Jin Shengyuan squeezed his chin in embarrassment. The condition of his right hand is not a problem at all, but both he and Taeyeon have a tacit understanding not to mention this, only Xu Xian seems to be serious - until the end of dinner he He didn't even move his right hand.

"We still have an announcement, so we can't accompany you any longer." Taeyeon said in a low voice.

"It doesn't matter." Jin Shengyuan said with a smile, "Anyway, there will be time in the future."

"Yes, the two of you will live together for nearly 80 years in the future, it's scary to think about it!" Xu Xian's sudden words disrupted the warm air.

Taeyeon stared at Seo Hyun, then looked at Kim Sung Won and said, "You should be charged with poisoning the country's seedlings!"

Jin Shengyuan also said: "Xiaoxian, men are not so scary!"

"I know," Xu Xian nodded, as if he didn't understand what Jin Shengyuan meant, and replied seriously: "Father and Brother Shengyuan are very good."

Jin Shengyuan rubbed Xu Xian's head speechlessly.

Taeyeon suddenly feels distressed and helpless: this little guy is very good, he will sing immature nursery rhymes solemnly in front of the examiners who are used to popular songs during the interview; Very motivated, when she and Yuri were attacked by the public because she and Yuli gave up the college entrance examination, she shed tears and said that she would study hard to prove it to everyone; she was so innocent that someone asked who in the dormitory cooks for you in the program, she would say "electricity" Rice pot”; I never know what it means to get angry, and when I am wronged, I will only puff up my little bun face... There are too many advantages: health, innocence, versatility, having my own little stubbornness, loving my parents... ...Although the eight of them have been insisting on the "Makkami Enlightenment Project", it seems that they are more deeply influenced by Seo Hyun.This lovable little guy often makes them unable to bear to ravage her, but after seeing her still bright eyes, they can't help but feel guilty and love her even more.

Taeyeon really didn't know whether to be grateful to Jin Shengyuan for teaching such a cute little guy, or to blame him for restraining the most beloved youngest of the sisters into such a dull personality.

"Let's go." Taeyeon suddenly glared at Jin Shengyuan with her mouth pouting, and took Xu Xian's hand and left together.

Jin Shengyuan also felt that he was a little "sinful", thinking about how to enlighten Xu Xian's life.

On January 1th, the sales of the single CD of "Father, Mother" appeared on the headlines of the music sections of major newspapers and periodicals at the same time.The pre-sale is 15, and the sales volume on the first day exceeds 20, which is already more than 30 sales, which makes many musicians very excited.

Strong sales, at the beginning of 08, when most artists were still ready to go, it was like a thunderbolt that woke them up, and at the same time injected a shot in the arm for the music industry-it turns out that record sales can still be increased.

Last year, sgwannabe's 07th album, which was the most sold record by the Korea Recording Industry Association, was released on April 4, 6, and it only sold 19 yuan until the end of the year. Many companies and artists in the music industry were deeply hit by it.

Now, just in mid-January of 08, an unexpected cd by Kim Sung-won blows up a strong wind, greatly boosting the morale of those involved in the music industry.

Many singers are already gearing up and preparing to release the album immediately after the sales period of the single CD of "Father, Mother".

However, the truly popular singers and large entertainment companies have seen that Jin Shengyuan's song is close to the nature of pure music and that he will not start song making activities. cd.

However, the staring eyes of many opponents made them dare not act rashly, for fear of crashing at the same time. After all, the production cost of an album is not low, and the preparation time cannot be too short.

However, no one expected that Jin Shengyuan would suddenly step in, so many singers' albums are already in preparation, and the market reaction of their upcoming albums has become a weather vane for other companies to wait and see.

This girl group, which debuted in March 06, has not been as popular as the economic company expected. Although the strength of the four members is very good, they seem to be missing some key surnames. A tepid state.

Their agency also invested a lot of energy in promoting them, including the album cover was personally drawn by the photographer Zhao Zhenya who used to shoot pictorials for Jin Shengyuan, and the singing skills of the four were personally praised by Jin Shengyuan-at the [-]th anniversary party, Jin Shengyuan's singing skills surprised everyone. Not only were many music critics praised, but irls' mini-album received the greatest attention since their debut, which made their agency very happy.

Although the sales of an album and the quality of the songs play an important role, publicity and popularity are equally important. The second album released by sj in the second half of 07, in terms of the quality of the songs, it was not very good, almost did not win the first place in several music shows, but the sales volume was second only to irls. In the interview, Jin Shengyuan's name was mentioned many times, which is normal in the entertainment industry, as if the relationship between irls is not so close.

Fortunately, Jingshan and jea are very good at being human, and they called Jin Shengyuan to apologize to Jin Shengyuan.

Although the other party's propaganda was somewhat exaggerated, it did not deviate from the facts and did not fabricate scandals, so Jin Shengyuan just laughed it off, didn't care, and occasionally used it to joke with Cui Xianjun and others.

In the afternoon, Kim Sung-won, accompanied by Choi Hyun-joon, came to KBS TV to discuss the OST with director Lee Jung-seop.

"Senior, hello." The lounge corridor of the TV station is always the place with the most artists. Many artists even eat and sleep here. Along the way, people keep bowing to him.

Although it is completely possible to pass by without paying attention, Jin Shengyuan still nodded to them one by one.

"Senior, hello, I'm Yoona from Girls' Generation." As Jin Shengyuan was walking forward, he suddenly heard Yoona's voice from the corridor on the other side of the corner.

"Huh? Why is Yun'er here?" Jin Shengyuan was slightly startled, then turned and walked over.

In the passage on the other side of the corner, Yoona respectfully bowed to every senior she met. Although she was very naughty, she was the one who cared the most about manners besides Xu Xian, even though she was only three months older than her Xiuying, she always calls her sister.

In front of outsiders and in the dormitory, she almost looks different.

"Senior, hello, I'm YoonA from Girls' Generation." Every time YoonA greets her senior, she will promote Girls' Generation and her own name by the way.

However, there are not many seniors who really pay attention to Yuner. Even if there are few who nod and greet, most of them pass by in a hurry. Almost every artist wants to count the time to every minute, even if there is a little more time It is also good for rest.

Yun'er was not discouraged at all, she still greeted her seriously, but suddenly felt a big hand on her shoulder.

"You won't meet a senior who likes to take advantage of female artists, right?" Yun'er was taken aback, she didn't care to check who the other party was, and tried to get rid of this "salty pig's hand" by bowing her body.

However, just as she bent halfway down, she caught a glimpse of the other person's face out of the corner of her eye, and her expression became happy, and her somewhat stiff body softened.

"Hello, Shengyuan oppa." Yun'er shouted cheerfully, "Why are you here?"

"Something, are you here?" Jin Shengyuan asked.

"No, Sister Taeyeon and Sika are also here, we are going to record the program "Star Golden Bell"." Yuner said.

"Well, yes, I can already participate in the ace variety show on the weekend." Jin Shengyuan said with a smile.

Yoona smiled shyly, her humble expression made it hard to imagine that she was the one who used a big sword to wake up Taeyeon on the program "Ten Thousand Dollars of Happiness" and slashed at her body for a bite I don't hesitate to dance ghosts and elves who are looking for strange dances.

"Sheng Yuan!" At this time, Pu Mingxiu passed by, stopped and stretched out his hand and said to Jin Shengyuan.

"Brother Mingxiu." Jin Shengyuan smiled and clapped his hands with Park Xiuming, and at the same time introduced him: "Yoona from Girls' Generation."

"Thank you, Senior Park Myung Soo." Yuner bowed gratefully.

"You're welcome. Sheng Yuan, I still have to record a show, so I'm leaving first." After Park Mingxiu finished speaking, he left directly, as if he stopped just now to imitate the lollipop dance of Girls' Generation.

"Senior Park Myung-soo is a very nice person." Yuner was surprised that Park Myung-soo's image was different from the outside rumors.

"Hehe," Jin Shengyuan smiled. If Pu Mingxiu heard this sentence, he would definitely scold Yuner loudly. In order to maintain his "venomous tongue" image, he often reprimanded almost all younger generations, so there are rumors about Park Mingxiu One of the most difficult seniors to get along with.

"Okay, you go back," Jin Shengyuan patted Yuner's head and said to her.Since she was a child, Yuner has liked seniors and parents to pat her on the head. If she can praise "cute" again, she will definitely smile.

"Okay, goodbye, oppa." Yoona went to the Girls' Generation lounge.

This time, most of the seniors would nod their heads or give a few words of encouragement after seeing Yuner's salute, which is very realistic and normal.

Kim Sung-won went to the office where he had an appointment with director Lee Jung-seop.

"Dong dong dong..." Jin Shengyuan knocked lightly on the office door.

"Please come in." A deep man's voice sounded.

Jin Shengyuan and Cui Xianjun pushed the door in, and saw that there were four people in the not-so-spacious office.A middle-aged man wearing a white baseball cap, a slightly fat man in his 40s, and two slightly fat women.

"Hello seniors, I'm Jin Shengyuan." Jin Shengyuan said with a slight bow. Although the other party may not have entered the entertainment industry earlier than him, they are obviously older than him, and the two parties are not in a detailed classification. to call each other.

"Seniors, I am Cui Xianjun, Shengyuan's manager." Cui Xianjun also bowed and said.

"Hello." The four people in the office got up one after another and greeted the two of them.

"I am Lee Jung-seop, the director of "Quick Knife Hong Gildong", this is the producer Kang Joon-hee, and these two are screenwriters Hong Jung-eun and Hong Mi-ran." The middle-aged man wearing a white baseball cap introduced Kim Sung-won.

After Jin Shengyuan greeted them one by one again, he sat down on the sofa beside him.

"Mr. Kim Sung-won, we will not question your creative ability," director Lee Jung-seop coughed lightly, and said, "However, you also know that the most important thing for an OST is to fully express the emotions in the TV series."

"Well," Jin Shengyuan nodded, and said, "I have read the first four episodes and the introduction of the TV series. My song "If" is quite suitable for the feelings in the drama. In this way, I will sing it live , and then the four seniors will comment on it."

"I don't dare to comment on it." Li Zhengxie and the others waved their hands and said.

Jin Shengyuan got up, cleared his throat, and began to brew feelings.

The four of them were not in a hurry, although they were not from the music industry, but because of this OST, they checked Jin Shengyuan's information and knew that there would always be a short period of time for him to brew his relationship before he sang.

"If, I go, I go to get close to you, what would you think..." Although it was composed for Taeyeon, but Kim Sung Won himself is the author, coupled with his superb singing skills, he easily deduced the connotation of this song.

"Very good!" Li Zhengxie clapped his hands, discussed a few words, and said directly, "Tomorrow we will send an invitation to Taeyeon." Director Li Zhengxie did not forget Kim Sung-won's prior conditions, and for Taeyeon's singing skills, they All expressed affirmation.

"Thank you." Jin Shengyuan bowed slightly and sat down again. He will not participate in the next negotiation.

"Mr. Kim Sung-won, we are both your fans, can you give each of us an autograph?" Unexpectedly, the Hong sisters, the screenwriters of "Knife Hong Gildong", are actually fans of Kim Sung-won, and it seems that they The main purpose of being here is to do just that.

"Of course." Jin Shengyuan nodded with a smile, and said, "I also like the works of the two seniors very much."

Jin Shengyuan’s words are not simply a polite retaliation. The Hong sisters are known as Korean drama geeks. Their left hand is sensational and their right hand is funny. Affected by the wonderful pen, they naturally became their loyal supporters.

Moreover, the starring roles in the works of the Hong sisters are generally only "second- and third-tier" actors or newcomers. Jae-hee, Um Tae-xiong, and Lee Dong-wook have all completed the transition from "actors" to "stars" in their works.

The same is true for this "Knife Hong Gildong". Although Jiang Zhihuan became famous with "Come on, Kim Soon" in the first two years, several Korean dramas he starred in after that fell in front of the ratings one after another, which made his career stop.

The second actor, Jang Keun Suk, is considered one of the fastest rising young actors in Korea in 07. What he lacks most now is to produce a convincing masterpiece as a leading actor. This work undoubtedly gave him this opportunity.
