My landlord is a big star

Chapter 106 105. It's time for the second generation group to end and transform.

At the end of the introduction, neither Xu Lin nor Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu mentioned the little misunderstanding that happened before.

Lim Yoona on the side can do whatever she wants at home, but Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu can't be too relaxed. Although they have met before, generally speaking, their attitude towards Xu Lin is very subtle.

The identity of the director of the other party made them a little uncomfortable, and even felt an inexplicable sense of panic.

Xu Lin could also see it, he glanced at the food on the coffee table, and casually brought the topic to the food.

"Are these all prepared by you?"

"Yes, yes." Lin Yuner stretched out her arms towards the coffee table excitedly: "Is the preparation not bad?"

"Well, it's okay." Xu Lin nodded in response to her, and then looked at the somewhat cramped Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu: "Sit down and eat first, I'll go to the kitchen and cut some fruit."

"Ah, no, no."

Kim Taeyeon quickly waved her hand to refuse, she didn't want to trouble others, she signaled Lin Yuner with her eyes and said at the same time: "Just now Yuner has prepared some fruit, why don't we sit down and eat first."

"...Alright then." Xu Lin nodded in agreement.

The coffee table is actually a normal size. Xu Lin and Lim Yoona sit on the outside, Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu sit on the inside, and the main host sits outside to take care of the guests.

As a boy, Xu Lin took the initiative to take on the responsibility of the barbecue, and the other three girls did not refuse.

The baking pan was not big, but it was enough for them to eat. After turning on the fire, Xu Lin picked up the meat on the plate with tongs and spread it directly on the baking pan. The sound of sizzling wafted along with the unique aroma of beef.

As far as he knows, the food expenses of Girls' Generation and others are comparable to that of boy bands, and I really don't believe it until I see it with my own eyes.

"Just wait for a while, do you want something to drink? There are drinks and diet Coke in the refrigerator."

"Maybe...is there soju?" Lee Soon Kyu asked.

"Yes, yes..." Xu Lin paused for a while with his grilled meat, and raised his eyes to look at the three girls: "Do you want to drink?"

"want!"

"I can't drink, I'm allergic to alcohol."

Obviously some people can drink and some can't. As for who refuses to drink, anyone who is familiar with them must know.

Seeing that Xu Lin was going to get up to get it, Lin Yuner hurriedly pressed his shoulder, then got up by herself, and said with a smile:
"I'll get it, I'll get it."

Having been teammates for so many years, she naturally knows how much she and Li Shungui drink. If you take too much, you can't finish it, and if you take too little, it's not enough. Instead of letting him make his own decisions, it's better to drink it by yourself.

There is not only fruity shochu in the refrigerator, but also white wine and beer that Xu Lin bought from Chinatown.

Lin Yuner who ran to the refrigerator thought for a while, then turned to look in Xu Lin's direction, and asked:
"May I have a beer?"

The wheat juice tastes refreshing, far from the taste of foreign beer, and she also tries to be fresh.

"Okay, help me get some too."

"Yoona, I want it too." Li Shungui raised his hand to signal.

There was no other way, Lin Yuner had no choice but to take away all the cold beer, her hands were definitely not enough, so she directly put the cold beer can on her arm.

When he came back, Xu Lin hurriedly helped, put beer on the tea table, he continued to barbecue, and Lin Yuner chatted and drank with Lee Soon Kyu and Kim Taeyeon with a smile.

The content of the chat was trivial matters of the company. Xu Lin didn't understand it, and he didn't rashly go up to talk to him, so he just kept on grilling.

Of course, when it’s time to toast and drink, you still have to drink. Kim Taeyeon can’t drink, so she clinked glasses with the rest of the people with Coke instead of wine. After a few glasses of wine, the atmosphere gradually became lively.

Girls' Generation's adaptability is well known, coupled with the alcohol and lively atmosphere, the three girls gradually began to start the company with some outspoken complaints.

The corners of Xu Lin's mouth twitched when he heard it, thanks to the fact that he is Lin Yun'er's boyfriend, otherwise he really couldn't say some things indiscriminately.

Things are not going well for SM this year, even Girls' Generation, an old label, has accidents, not to mention that not long ago, an EXO member proposed to terminate the contract with SM.

At that time, the news of the termination of the contract was listed three times on the hot searches on the Korean Internet, almost stealing the limelight from Xu Lin's movie.

Just thinking about it, he heard Taeyeon sigh.

"Sigh... this year's company is really not going well, and I don't know if our Girls' Generation will have a chance to return to the stage."

"There must be opportunities." Li Shungui's eyes showed some fluctuations: "We are Girls' Generation, the company will not be stupid enough to give up on us, don't worry."

"That's not necessarily true, everyone is busy with their own business now, and I'm also applying for a solo song with the company..."

As the captain, Kim Taeyeon has a very big obsession with the group, as precious as a child raised by herself.

The members could understand her state of mind. After thinking for a while, Yoona looked at Taeyeon and said, "Unnie, I'm sorry, but I may have to stay in China next year to develop."

"I know." The corners of Kim Taeyeon's lips curled up, "You don't think I'll blame you for being busy with your own business, do you?"

"Well... how is it possible, I just told O'Neill in advance that the company stipulates that everything must be reported to the captain."

"You're missing, we're back..."

"Cough cough!"

Two light coughs interrupted Kim Taeyeon's words, Lin Yuner and Lee Soon Kyu's eyes also quietly fell on Xu Lin, only to see him smile a little embarrassedly, and said:
"Actually...you should forget about returning. Instead of returning, you should focus on your career."

As soon as these words came out, the three girls frowned and stared at him, feeling inexplicably uncomfortable in their hearts, Lin Yuner immediately said:
"Are you drunk Xu Lin?"

"You can't be drunk enough to..."

Xu Lin shrugged and explained: "If you talk about the world, it's no different from fooling you. Don't you think about why your company is launching a new group?"

"Why?" Li Shungui's brows slowly relaxed, and he looked at Xu Lin: "Do you know the reason?"

"...It can't be considered the reason. I personally feel that your company's approach is like a normal businessman's thinking."

No matter how he analyzes it, Xu Lin can only get one answer, that is, SM is playing a long game to catch big fish.

Since the beginning of this year, there has been a lot of news about SM artists, news about falling in love or quitting the team, and Xu Lin doesn't believe it at all if they say they didn't deliberately target SM.

As for the reason...he couldn't figure it out either.

Maybe it's been too long as the leader?
Kim Taeyeon glanced at Lin Yuner in front of her, and after receiving her nod, she asked Xu Lin directly:
"Can you talk about it carefully?"

"What's so important to tell me about this, you guys must be clearer than me." Xu Lin's eyes revealed a little regret: "Well... the second generation of girl groups should come to an end."

Just finished speaking, Lin Yun'er beside her raised her hand and patted his shoulder, her eyes fell on his face, and said stubbornly:
"Yeah, we're still young!"

"This has nothing to do with age, it's a market problem." Xu Lin turned off the fire and took Lin Yuner's hand: "You guys have opened up the girl group market, but everyone will have aesthetic fatigue. Now that the three generations of groups are rising, you guys The company must have a group to seize the market, and it can only be said that launching a new group before was a blessing in misfortune."

What Xu Lin didn't say later was too straightforward. Girls' Generation's personnel changed, and the function group was facing a crisis. SM must be very anxious to see the market he opened up being robbed.

Fortunately, Red velvet has made their debut. Although the results are not very good, it is fortunate that they can get a share of the action.

But Kim Taeyeon, who was full of confusion, still didn't understand. Could it be that aesthetic fatigue is saying that their fans will climb the wall?

"But what does this have to do with our return?"

"Just experienced personnel changes, your company is not stupid, letting you come back is no different from playing disco in the minefield of fans."

"It makes sense." Lin Yuner suddenly looked at Li Shungui: "Does Ernie know when he will come back?"

"Cough! How do I know!"

Li Shungui, who was eating meat, was speechless. It was comfortable to listen to their chat while eating meat, but she suddenly let herself join in. She resisted this topic.

But after seeing the faces of Kim Taeyeon and Lin Yoona, she sighed silently in her heart, raised her eyebrows and said:
"I think Xu Lin is right."

"Then just wait." Lin Yun'er said in a dazed voice, "I feel like it's impossible to return within a year."

"so smart."

After hearing this, Xu Lin nodded in satisfaction, and continued: "That's why I asked you to focus on your own career first, and leave the group alone."

After the personnel change, their mentality has already changed. Although Kim Taeyeon is obsessed with Girls' Generation, she doesn't want to see accidents or conflicts among the members again.

People can talk about anything when they are here, but it is too late to regret once they leave, and not coming back now is not a particularly painful thing.

She also didn't want to discuss more on the topic of group return, and directly changed the subject abruptly, saying:
"Just wait, Xu Lin, how do you know so much?"

"I have a small business at home, and I see a lot." Xu Lin did not specify his family situation.

Everyone is about the same age, he is unwilling to say, Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu did not stay on this topic too much.The fiery atmosphere of the dinner party continued, and Xu Lin also chatted a few words from time to time.

With the help of alcohol, the chatterbox gradually opened up, and even Lin Yuner, who had a good capacity for alcohol, became excited.

Dancing and playing around...

"I didn't know Xu Lin before, but now I do, I would like to congratulate you, the movie has exceeded 600 million viewers."

clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap clap...

After Kim Taeyeon finished speaking, she applauded with Lee Soon Kyu. As Koreans, they naturally know the gold content of 600 million movie viewers. Those famous directors can't guarantee that they can have this kind of achievement.

Leaving outside comments aside, the number of viewers alone is enough to overflow Xu Lin's small wallet.

600 million movie viewers is equivalent to one-fifth of Koreans in South Korea who have watched this movie. The most important thing is that there are follow-up viewings of the movie, but it will not be counted in the number of movie viewers.

Seeing them applauding and congratulating him, Xu Lin quickly put on a humble look, bowed slightly and said:
"thanks, thanks."

"I heard that you are preparing for the next movie?" Lee Soon Kyu suddenly asked out of curiosity.

It stands to reason that the director will take a break after shooting a movie, and there are few uninterrupted shooting like him.

Hearing this, Xu Lin glanced at the faces of Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu, playing with Lin Yoona's fingers and said:

"We are currently preparing. In a few days, we plan to go to the company to recruit actors first. This time we will use more people."

"Recruiting now? Are you too anxious?"

"Don't worry, don't worry." Xu Lin said with a smile: "Because this movie is positioned as a zombie movie, the actors need to learn how to move, so it's normal to recruit in advance, and it's a big deal to promote it later."

Although disaster films are difficult to shoot and consume a lot of money and manpower, how do you know you can't do it if you don't challenge it?
He is still young, and has more energy and ideas than all the veteran directors. Funding is definitely no problem. Besides the script and actors, he has to hurry up to find a special effects team recently.

Thinking of this, Xu Lin quietly turned his attention to Li Shungui. According to his knowledge, the other party should be Li Xiuman's niece, and her family background is good, and her social skills are comparable to Lin Yuner.

I don't know if there is a special effects team in her network. After thinking for a while, Xu Lin asked:
"Perhaps, do you know the special effects team?"

"Special effects team?" Li Shungui began to recall his social circle in his heart, and shook his head after a long time.

Artists have limited contacts in their social circles, and the special effects team is an advanced technology, so they rarely meet artists under normal circumstances.Seeing her shaking her head, Xu Lin thought for a while and explained softly:
"Forget it. Disaster films are difficult to shoot. I'm thinking of recruiting a team to do the green screen."

"It must be very expensive to do green screen."

Lin Yun'er said something suddenly.

The corner of Xu Lin's mouth twitched, and he said speechlessly, "You still want to shoot in real scenes? There will be dangers and various unstable factors in real scenes, and it's more expensive to shoot in real scenes, okay?"

"I'm not a director." Lin Yuner was not angry, she shrugged and said, "Shoot well, come on."

"It should be you who want to cheer."

"Ok?"

Xu Lin tilted his head to look at her, and said unabashedly, "I wrote a character that suits you very well. CJ Entertainment will send your company an audition invitation some other day. Come for an interview then."

"...I want to play the role too?" Lin Yun'er thought he was joking before, but she didn't expect him to be serious.

"Of course I have to act. Although she is not the leading heroine, this character has a lot of roles in the script."

As soon as these words came out, Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu immediately looked at Lin Yuner jokingly, the deep meaning in the eyes was self-evident, the eyebrows were curved, and the face was full of teasing.

Lin Yuner is an actor, and her boyfriend is a director. Is there anything more interesting than being in the same crew?

But as a person, I am not so happy. Lin Yuner's schedule is very busy, and she may not be able to make time.

"When will you start shooting this movie? I will go to China next year to develop, I don't know if I have time."

"Ah, I know, you don't have to worry about this, it's okay to come back to shoot when you have time." Xu Lin looked at the other party calmly: "The filming should start in May or June next year."

"so late?"

"Wait until you finish filming."

For shooting, Xu Lin does not pursue speed. The reason why a high-quality film is a high-quality film is because there are many details in the film, which are worthy of careful consideration and repeated viewing. It is not the kind of film that ends hastily.

The actors must be professional, and the staff must be conscientious. The film produced must be different from other films.

At least the audience reacted immediately.

Add to that the fame of the actors...

It's sure to make money at the box office.

On the other side, Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu were full of ridicule, staring at Lin YoonA while making booing noises.

"Oh~~~~~~"

"Sweet~~"

The two sisters' words made Lin Yun'er blush. Naturally, her relationship with Xu Lin didn't need to be said, but she was not mentally prepared for being crooked in front of the two close sisters.

"Don't make fun of me, Ernie, we're talking about work."

Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu's eyes widened with disbelief at the shy and coquettish look of their own sister.

Boy, is this still that naughty kid?Why did his personality change so much when Xu Lin was around?
But should I say it or not, Lin Yuner's appearance is really exciting, her eyes that were originally as clear as water are now watery like a girl's Huaichun.

Coupled with her pure oval face, Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu looked at each other and nodded thoughtfully.

"Suuny, let's talk about work too."

Kim Taeyeon stretched out her hand towards the other party, Lee Soon Kyu's reaction was quick, he directly held her hand and interlocked his fingers.

"Okay, when you talk about work, you have to interlock your fingers, Taeyeon Xi."

"Onnies are really..."

After saying this, Lin Yuner's face turned even redder. She remained silent, but she didn't intend to let go of Xu Lin's hand. Instead, she held it even tighter, as if she was blaming Xu Lin.

There was no other way, so Xu Lin had no choice but to shrug her shoulders innocently, then took her hand and put it to his mouth and kissed her twice.

"..."

"..."

Very well, it was Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu who were silent now. They looked at the two who were showing their love openly and honestly, and suddenly didn't know what to say.

The young lovers have done this, and the two of them didn't ask for trouble to play the role of a fake couple. They are real, what should they do if the time comes to kiss in front of them.

Of course, Xu Lin, Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu found it interesting, only Lin YunA was shy, her little face was flushed.

She was not ready to show her affection in front of her sisters, so she let go of her hand immediately, blushing and tried to suppress the hotness on her face with cold beer, but it proved to be useless.

Everyone laughed, which made Lin Yun'er almost angry, she drank two sips of beer, got up and ran to the toilet.

The dinner party was still going on, Xu Lin and Li Shungui clinked glasses from time to time to have a sip, I have to say that the other party's alcohol capacity is not bad, and among the girls, they can ignore many people.

When Lin Yuner came back, the blush on her face had quietly disappeared, she sat down and continued to have dinner.

About two hours later, Xu Lin got up to say goodbye and went back to the bedroom. He couldn't get involved in the girls' topic, so he simply came back and continued writing the script.

Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu didn't care, after all, they are directors, so it's normal for them to be busy.Then Lin Yuner turned on the TV, ready to continue chatting with her sisters while watching.

There were bursts of laughter from outside the house, and Xu Lin couldn't help but raise the corners of his lips when he heard it, feeling sweet in his heart.

Does this count as being recognized?
do not know.

Xu Lin, who was leaning on the swivel chair, turned around as he wished, with a serious expression, and suddenly thought of Lin Yuner's words just now.

SM has declined many popular dramas many times, which made him a little worried, for fear that the other party would refuse to act in this movie.

But it's impossible, CJ Entertainment owns 18% of SM's shares, the big deal is for the company to communicate with the company.

If the 18% of the shares are in my own hands...

Xu Lin, who had a sudden idea, was startled, not knowing why he had this idea.
