Fans react: "What's wrong with idols?" "Gonjiam" features three newcomers and three idols among its six main characters, and the box office has already surpassed six million!

JTBC and Star Entertainment are jointly launching the large-scale reality talent show "Hi! Girl," with nationwide auditions starting today!

The "Hi! Girl" talent show was packed with people. Every girl has a dream of becoming a star!

[A male actress suddenly appeared at the Itaewon audition site for "Hi! Girl," forcing the audition process to be temporarily suspended!]

On July 7th, filming for "Goblin's Bride" began, and "Hi! Girl" also launched its nationwide auditions. As a result, the top entertainment-related searches that day were mostly related to Xingji Entertainment.

"Hi! Girl" is relatively okay. At present, it is just an ordinary talent show. Apart from the fact that a cross-dressing man in Itaewon was found out while participating in the talent show, and then he got angry and made a scene at the talent show, there is basically no other excitement or highlights.

But "Goblin's Bride" is different. First of all, among the four main actors who appeared at the opening ceremony, there was only one male, Lim Ju-hwan, which led netizens to mistakenly believe that Lim Ju-hwan was the male lead of the show.

After Lim Joo-hwan posted a message online to refute the rumors, saying that he was only the second male lead, netizens thought that the crew did this for publicity and deliberately did not let the male lead appear, and then began to guess who the male lead was.

Park Bo Gum, Lee Jong Suk, Ji Chang Wook, etc., a total of seven or eight male actors were guessed.

Of course, none of the netizens guessed correctly. However, none of the actors who were guessed denied the rumors. It is obvious that they also enjoy being discussed by netizens.

At the same time, many netizens are pessimistic about "Goblin's Bride". One of the main reasons is that three of the four main actors who have appeared so far are idols!
Can idol actors do it?
Take Yoona for example. Apart from the drama "You Are My Destiny" which she starred in when she debuted, which had good ratings, the ratings of the three TV dramas she starred in afterwards were quite average.

Not to mention Bae Joo-hyun. As an idol, she has been in the industry for almost a year, but as an actress, "Goblin's Bride" is her debut work. What acting skills can she have?

By this calculation, only Ham Eun-jung, who debuted as a child star, has some acting skills, but the problem is that looking at the ranking of the actors' names in the online press release, Ham Eun-jung is only the third female lead.

Even if a female lead's acting skills are amazing, what good will it do? How much impact will it have on the ratings?

So, even if an international superstar plays the male lead, with the two female characters dragging it down, the ratings of "Goblin's Bride" will definitely not be high!
Even because three-quarters of the protagonists are played by idol actors, some netizens even commented that this drama is just a fan drama.

Regarding this, netizens who are in the fan circle are not happy. Let’s not talk about whether "Goblin Bride" is a fan circle drama or not. Even if it is a fan circle drama, what’s wrong with it?

Among the six protagonists of the movie "Gonjiam", the actors who played the three male protagonists are all pure newcomers, and the actors who played the three female protagonists are three female idols. This actor configuration is not as good as "Goblin's Bride", but it did not prevent it from being a huge box office hit!

Since both are produced by Star Entertainment, if "Gonjiam" can be successful, why can't "Goblin's Bride"? It must be successful!

Because of this incident, both sides had their own reasons and the argument on the Internet was very lively.

Li Zhixuan was very happy about this, Li Yingfu was very happy, and most of the crew members of "Goblin's Bride" were very happy because "Goblin's Bride" is now popular before it is aired.

Don't worry about how it became popular! Just tell me whether it's popular or not.

As long as it’s fire!
As long as it's a hit now, at least the first episode's ratings are guaranteed. With the first episode's ratings as a foundation, as long as the quality is good, subsequent ratings are guaranteed. So, everyone is pretty happy.

But! The actors who played the male and female protagonists were not very happy.

Lin Yoona has been an actress for seven years. She has studied and honed her acting skills over the years, but she is still criticized for her lack of acting skills.

Bae Joo-hyun, who hasn't officially debuted as an actress yet, has already been criticized as a vase. The most important thing is that she has no confidence in her acting skills, so she is very anxious.

So, at two o'clock in the afternoon, after the director announced that it was time to take a break, the leading male and female actors drove to Yoona's nanny car, and then looked at each other in silence, with tears in their eyes.

Although I didn't really cry, I was really in a bad mood.

"Tuk~Tuk Tuk~"

Suddenly, there was a knock on the car window. The two girls turned their heads to look, and then Yoona reached out and opened the car door.

Then, Chairman and screenwriter Li got into the nanny car, holding two lunch boxes in one hand and two cups of milk tea in the other.

"My two wives, are you hungry? Eat something."

Wife? !
Li Zhixuan spoke softly, but his words still scared the two girls.

Fortunately, his voice was not loud, and on both sides of Lin Yoona's nanny car were Bae Joo-hyun and Ham Eun-jung's nanny cars, so everyone around her was her family.

Immediately, Lin Yuner closed the car door and spat at the scumbag in annoyance, "Bah! Who is your wife?"

Bae Joo-hyun had the same attitude: "Two wives! How shameless!"

In response, Li Zhixuan helped them open the table in front of their seats and set out their lunch boxes and milk tea. He said with a smile, "Does scolding me make you feel better? If you feel better, then hurry up and eat. It's only lunch now, aren't you hungry?"

After hearing this, both women felt embarrassed.

Come to think of it, it’s not Li Zhixuan’s fault that they are in a bad mood, so it’s a bit too much to take it out on Li Zhixuan.

Immediately, a trace of apology appeared on the faces of the two girls, and Lin Yuner said, "We are not hungry, you eat it."

"Alas!" Li Zhixuan looked at Lin Yuna helplessly. "Forget about Irene. After all, she debuted not long ago. But you've been in the industry for eight years, and have been an actor for seven years. How can your mental state still be so poor? Back then, you and Girls' Generation went through the Black Sea incident and were boycotted by so many fans. How did you get through it?"

"How can it be the same? The Black Sea incident targeted our entire team, and there are nine of us on the team. If there's pressure, we all share it, but now I have to bear it alone."

Hearing this, Li Zhixuan was also unhappy: "What are you talking about? What do you mean you have to bear the burden alone? Don't we still have Irene and I?"

"Yeah!" Bae Joo-hyun nodded repeatedly in agreement, then froze for a moment and looked at Li Zhixuan in confusion: "That's not right? How can you share this kind of thing with us? It's not like you've been scolded by netizens! You just say nice things!"

"Uh……"

Facing the complaints, Li Zhixuan was a little embarrassed, but the feeling soon passed, and then he continued to comfort Lin Yuner: "What's the most important thing? The most important thing is that you haven't acted for two years since "The Prime Minister and I", and netizens don't know how your acting skills have improved. They are just making trouble, why do you care about them?
What you have to do now is to play your role well and use the facts to slap the faces of those who slander you. Do you understand? "

What you said... makes sense!
In fact, Lin Yuner herself may not understand this truth, but understanding it is one thing, and whether there is anyone to comfort her is another. Now that Li Zhixuan comforted her, she felt much better. She immediately picked up the milk tea and took a sip. It was fragrant and sweet, and her mood was even better.

Seeing the smile on her face, Li Zhixuan turned his head to look at Pei Zhuxuan: "Let's talk about you, you are a newcomer, isn't it normal for your acting skills to be doubted? Is it necessary to be so distracted? You won't eat for such a small matter, no wonder you are not tall!"

"ah!"

"puff!"

After hearing the scumbag's last words, Bae Joo-hyun became anxious, and Lin Yoona, who was drinking milk tea, couldn't hold it in and spit out a mouthful of milk tea.

The first two sentences can be said to be comforting, but the last sentence is a bit of a personal attack, isn't it? Although the complaints are very accurate.

"Ah!" Li Zhixuan sighed and wiped the "Mrs. Oral Liquid" off his face. Then, facing Pei Zhuxuan who was angry but wanted to laugh, he explained: "What I mean is, you don't need to be in a bad mood because of a few complaints from netizens."

"But my acting is really bad. In the scene where the male and female protagonists first met this morning, I took seven takes to get that one look right. I was the only one who slowed down the entire crew's filming progress. It was so embarrassing."

"You're embarrassed after only seven takes? We sometimes shoot more than ten or even dozens of takes for a scene. How can seven be enough? If you don't believe me, just wait. This afternoon, Yoona will shoot more than ten takes for one scene. Let me teach you something!"

"Oh?"

Lin Yuna paused as she was about to eat, turned her head to look at Pei Zhuxuan who was full of expectation, then took out a pack of tissues and threw it at the scumbag: "Can you hope for me a little bit? Damn scumbag!"

"Hahaha!"

After laughing, the two women began to eat.

Lin Yuna: "By the way, why didn't you bring Miyeon today? How is her injury?"

"She went to accompany Eunbi Yeji to the audition. The swelling has gone down, but the ligament injury still needs to heal slowly."

At this time, Bae Joo-hyun suddenly realized that Li Zhixuan had not eaten.

"Hey? Where's your meal?"

"I had already eaten at noon when you were filming."

Upon hearing this, Bae Joo-hyun couldn't help but grumble, "Oh! I still have to be a leader. I don't even have a fixed time to eat when I work for others."

Li Zhixuan nodded in agreement: "Yes. So, how is the plan for your fried chicken shop going?"

"The title is already written." Serious.jpg
“…”_

Lin Yuna: "What fried chicken restaurant?"

"I'm planning to start my own business and become a boss. A fried chicken shop is my entrepreneurial project."

Lin Yuner was surprised by Pei Zhuxuan's explanation, and then looked at Li Zhixuan: "Your idea?"

"Ah."

"Oh, very good."

After nodding, Lin Yuna continued eating, acting as if she didn't care.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan came up to her and teased, "Are you jealous?"

Lin Yuna smiled and shook her head: "I don't like sour food."

Pull it down!

Li Zhixuan and Pei Zhuxuan only dared to complain in their hearts, and then Pei Zhuxuan pretended to be curious and asked, "Ouni, what kind of business are you planning to start?"

Lin Yuna thought for a moment and said, "I joined Sama as a trainee when I was twelve. It's been thirteen years now. I can't change my ways."

"In two months at most, Xingji Entertainment will be split into three companies: Xingji Entertainment Agency, Xingji Pictures, and Xingji Films. In addition, I also plan to establish an online novel platform called Xingji Reading. These four companies will form the Xingji Entertainment Group."

Hearing this, Lin Yuner was thoughtful, and then asked uncertainly: "Why are you suddenly telling us this?"

"Don't you want to change careers? How about I hire you as a director of the newly split Xingji Entertainment Agency? Xingji Entertainment Agency's main business will be mass-producing idols. This job shouldn't be difficult for you, right?"

It’s not difficult, but is it okay?
Lin Yuner hesitated for a moment, then shook her head and said, "I can do it myself, I don't need your help."

"If you don't cooperate with me, you'll have to cooperate with this idiot. You'd rather let this idiot take advantage of you than have anything to do with me? Does that make sense?"

"I..." Lin Yuna was speechless for a moment, then suddenly remembered something and turned to look at Pei Zhuxuan: "Huh? That's not right! If you open a fried chicken shop, don't you have to give shares to the idiot?"

"Yeah." Bae Joo Hyun nodded, then raised her hand and pointed at her man, saying, "So I gave him the money and asked him to use my money to invest in his name. He will return the shares to me after my contract with that idiot ends."

Playing like this? This is simply not treating idiots as human beings!

But then again, playing like this doesn't violate the contract.

Lin Yuner was a little moved. She looked at Li Zhixuan and asked, "How much does it cost to invest in Xingji Entertainment?"

"One hundred million, and I'll give you 10% of the shares."

"So cheap?" Yun Baoer was surprised.

Seeing this, Li Zhixuan raised his eyebrows at her and said with a smile: "Given our relationship, of course I have to give you an internal price."

Seeing his smug look, Bae Joo-hyun couldn't help but rant, "Tsk! After the split of Star Entertainment, the only valuable contracts left at Star Entertainment are those of Seika and Minyoung, right?"

"That's the case now, but what about after 'Hi! Girl' airs?"

That's true.

Pei Zhuxuan was speechless. Lin Yuner nodded after a moment's consideration: "Okay! But will the idiots agree to let me become a director of Xingji Entertainment?"

"Don't worry, they will agree."
