My landlord is a big star

Chapter 119 118. Are you swearing? ! (half career, half daily)
After a four-hour flight, the plane landed safely in South Korea.

After walking out of the airport, Xu Lin bid farewell to Jiang Min. Because of drinking yesterday, he fell asleep after returning home.

The next morning, Xu Lin took Leo home, fed him some dog food, put on a down jacket and went out.

He just arrived in Korea, so he didn't start the machine immediately. He had more important things to do today, so he got in the car and sent two messages to Jiang Min, asking him to gather the whole crew for a dinner.

The film was scheduled to start two days later, and Xu Lin thought it necessary to publicize a wave of news about the start in front of the media.

The dinner party can connect feelings, and it can just be used for publicity, but his business today is more than that, the matter of opening a studio is imminent, and he has to talk to SM company.

At ten o'clock in the morning, Xu Lin arrived at the SM building. Because there was a meeting before, the security guards didn't stop him.

On the top floor, Jin Yingmin, who is the current president, is currently looking at the submitted year-end report in the office.

The next second, there was a knock on the door.

knock knock knock...

"Enter."

Xu Lin pushed the door open, and bowed slightly to Jin Yingmin:
"President Jin, long time no see."

"Oh? Director Xu." Jin Yingmin was a little surprised when he saw Xu Lin, put down the document in his hand and said, "Why did you come to the company today? Come, come, sit, I just have something to tell you."

"That's really a coincidence. I have something to tell you." Xu Lin walked forward with a smile and sat opposite him.

To be honest, last year was not easy for SM, and this year they had to adjust their strategies. Kim Youngmin and Xu Lin looked at each other, got up and went to the coffee machine to get a cup of coffee, handed it to him and sat down again.

"What I want to say is more important. If Director Xu doesn't mind, then let me tell you first?"

"My business is also very important." Xu Lin took a sip of his bitter coffee, "But everything about the company comes first."

"I'm glad you think so." Jin Yingmin lay on the office swivel chair with his legs crossed, and said bluntly: "I believe you also know that in 2014, the company was suppressed by others, and the stock price plummeted from time to time, so we plan to combine the company this year. All come back."

"But what does this have to do with me? I'm just a little director." Xu Lin showed doubts, and joked, "Could it be that President Jin wants me to break into the music industry?"

"Uh, haha, Director Xu is really humorous. The company has more important matters to ask you."

"President Kim just say it."

Compared to the always smiling dad at home, the pressure Jin Yingmin put on Xu Lin was insignificant, and the businessman also scored three or six grades. Obviously he was not afraid of this one in front of him.

But Xu Lin didn't relax his vigilance either. Jin Yingmin raised his hand and tapped on the table lightly, looking at him seriously.

"The return of all staff will put a load on the company. We don't have that many staff available. It happens that Director Xu is the director. I would like to ask if you can help the company shoot a few MVs."

"Ah...?" Xu Lin was stunned, frowning, and said calmly: "President Jin, are you wrong? I am indeed the director, but don't you think I am overqualified for making the MV?"

"I know you don't want to, but the company can't help it. After all, you are quite famous in Korea."

"Oh, you want to take my heat?"

In this way, Xu Lin understands that his reputation in Korea is indeed not small, especially in female groups, and most of the men and women chasing stars are girls. His calculation is indeed resounding.

When the group came back, he personally filmed it, coupled with the original popularity of the group, it can be said to be even more powerful.

Originally, Xu Lin planned to use the shares to fish out Lin Yuner, but now it seems that there is no need to go through so much trouble.

He frowned, kept silent, pretended to resist but was ecstatic in his heart, and sighed deeply after a moment of contemplation.

"Well... As a director, I should actually refuse."

Xu Lin raised his head and raised his hand to rub his temples: "But I am also the director of the company, and I feel very uncomfortable seeing the company being suppressed. Forget it, reputation is not important, I agree!"

"Really? That's so..."

"Hey! President Jin, yes, yes, but I have a request."

As soon as this remark came out, Jin Yingmin, who was ecstatic, was taken aback. After thinking about it, it was true. How could such a great director have no request for the idol group to personally shoot the MV.

As long as his request is not excessive, Jin Yingmin can agree in the name of being the head of the company.

"Director Xu, tell me?"

"Recently, I want to open a studio." Xu Lin stared into his eyes and said in a deep voice, "I need to sign an artist."

"Oh?" Jin Yingmin was a little surprised, and asked: "Director Xu wants to sign our company's artists? Doesn't this seem to be against the rules? The company has no intention of selling its artists."

"No, no, you misunderstood, I don't want to buy an artist, what I want is to sign a contract with the artist of the company."

"... Tell me in detail?"

"Then let me just say it directly, President Kim, you don't want to lose to the former president, Mr. Li Xiuman, do you?"

The internal strife between SM companies has lasted for many years. It is rumored that Kim Young Min and Lee Soo Man have different opinions.

But in general, Jin Yingmin has the upper hand, the game of businessmen is very cruel, if you don't pay attention, you will lose everything.

Although he is now the president, as the founder of the company, Li Xiuman's influence in the company cannot be underestimated.

"Director Xu can just say that there is no one else here."

"First of all, SM's position is to create an idol group, right?" The corners of Xu Lin's lips curled up, ready to fool around.

Seeing Jin Yingmin nodding, he continued: "Since we are creating an idol group, there must be male and female groups. The market for male groups is large, while the market for female groups is small. President Kim should know this better than me."

"Hmm..." Jin Yingmin nodded thoughtfully, took a sip of bitter coffee, and said, "Director Xu, continue."

"As far as I know, President Jin is in charge of the women's team, and Director Li is in charge of the men's team, right?" Xu Lin knocked on his desk and said indignantly, "In this case, your efforts will never be as good as Director Li Xiuman's." , don’t the directors of the council look at the contribution?”

Without giving the other party a chance to speak, Xu Lin continued: "Everyone wants to make money, and whoever contributes the most will be the president. I opened the studio because I want to sign some artists to develop in the direction of actors."

SM has the ability to create an idol group, but film and television resources are scarce, and there are not many actors who can show it. Now that the era of the group has changed, the old artists must want to seek development.

Hearing this, Jin Yingmin suppressed the throbbing in his heart, stared into Xu Lin's eyes, and suddenly asked:
"But what good does it do me?"

"I can jointly hang the studio under the banner of SM and CJ Entertainment. When the time comes, there will be three pillars. When director Li Xiuman wants to impeach you, I don't agree, and you will still be the president."

After finishing speaking, Xu Lin leaned back on the swivel chair, crossed his legs, his handsome face was full of confidence, and his spirit was high.

He believed that Jin Yingmin could not refuse such a proposal. Businessmen are mercenary, and human nature is greedy and hopeless. The person who becomes the president naturally does not want to be impeached, but Jin Yingmin is not stupid.

If Xu Lin can cooperate with himself, then he can also cooperate with Li Xiuman. He must hold the initiative in his hands to be at ease.

"Then does your studio accept investment?"

"Sorry, I don't accept it." Xu Lin said calmly: "If President Jin doesn't believe me, just pretend I didn't say anything."

"That's not true. What are you going to give me as a guarantee? I can't contribute a few artists for nothing, can I?"

"Also..." Xu Lin responded lightly, lowering his eyes as if thinking, with a tangled expression.

The office fell into silence, and the two who were probing each other did not speak. At some point, the sky outside the window gradually became cloudy, and the cold wind blew into the office through the slanted window, bringing a chill.

Xu Lin, who had thought for a long time, sighed, looked up at the other party, and said with a sigh: "Since this is the case, then I will settle for the next best thing. I will try to sign an artist first, how about it?"

"...Only sign one artist?" Jin Yingmin clicked her tongue, nodded after a while: "Who does Director Xu want to sign?"

"Lin Yuner from Girls' Generation."

"Ok?"

"President Jin, don't rush to refuse." Xu Lin explained calmly: "I signed her for a reason, isn't she going to star in my new work, she just signed, so there is no need to adjust."

"I know this, but she is the only actor in our company who has developed well. Director Xu has a big appetite."

"Am I old?" Xu Lin wondered.

"It's very big." Jin Yingmin rubbed her eyebrows, struggling endlessly. The company spent a lot of energy training Lin Yuner.

If she was just signed to Xu Lin, the directors of the company might disagree, but every opportunity always faces huge risks. If it succeeds, his position as president cannot be shaken.

Seeing that he was still struggling, Xu Lin picked up the coffee and drank it down, the bitter taste filled his mouth immediately.

"President Jin, you can't even make a decision on your own?"

"..."

"To be honest, President Nim, I really want to cooperate with you, but you don't seem to have as much courage as Director Li Xiuman."

"..."

"The newly launched girl group is considered by the fans to be your group, and they say it's not Supervisor Lee Soo Man's..."

"Stop! Director Xu, this kind of trick is too childish."

Jin Yingmin stared at the man in front of him, the evil started in his heart, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth and said:
"But I promise you."

"Oh? Really?" Xu Lin was surprised, thinking that there was no hope, but unexpectedly there was a surprise.

As for the reason for agreeing, Jin Yingmin also gave an explanation: "Although the trick is naive, I have to say that you moved me. How can someone who has been the president be willing to be impeached?"

"Okay, then... happy cooperation?" Xu Lin stretched out his hand towards him, and forcibly suppressed the corners of his mouth that could not stop rising.

"Well, it's a pleasure to work together!"

The two hands clasped each other, and they were separated at the touch of a touch. Then Xu Lin began to discuss the contract with Jin Minying. The two kept arguing and revising, and they didn't draw up the contract until noon.

Declining Jin Yingmin's invitation to dinner, Xu Lin walked out of the SM building with the signed contract. Now that he has registered the studio and signed his and Lin Yuner's names, he will be done. But just in case, he still I have to find Li Xiuman.

To be honest, he doesn't like Li Xiuman and Jin Yingmin. The purpose of a businessman is to make money. People who have lost their original intentions are no different from businessmen, and he will not feel sorry for Li Xiuman.

Although Kim Young Min stamped it, but the real right to speak of SM company is still in the hands of that old man.

"The weather is so cloudy, it looks like it's going to snow."

Standing downstairs, Xu Lin looked up at the sky, sighed, and then got into the commercial vehicle, ready to meet Li Xiuman.

But he didn't have any contact information. Fortunately, Lin Yuner did. After copying the phone number, Xu Lin silently started sending text messages to Li Xiuman in the car, and received a reply at two o'clock in the afternoon.

Staring at the text message on the screen, Xu Lin took a bite of the kimbap, looked up and glanced out of the window, and sighed:

"The old man really enjoys riding a horse."

The ramp in Seoul was covered with snowflakes. A commercial vehicle started slowly and drove from the SM building towards Gangdong District.

He was not in a hurry to see Li Xiuman, but planned to go to the restaurant first. After 15 minutes, the business car stopped in front of the 548-3 store in Seongnae-dong, Jiangdong District, and Xu Lin got off to check on the situation of the dinner party.

Walking into the store, you will be greeted by the smell of beef. There are seats and plate seats in the store. The decoration is no different from that of ordinary barbecue restaurants. There are wooden tables and leather sofas, and there are pvc smoke exhaust pipes in front of each grill.

Looking around, most of them were staff members Xu Lin was familiar with. He nodded and greeted them as he walked.

"Director Xu nim!"

"Ah, hello, enjoy yourself."

"Director Xu is here."

"Nai, come and see you."

At this time, I don't know who shouted.

"Everyone, Director Xu has come to see us!"

Everyone in the store looked at Xu Lin, he smiled and motioned for everyone to sit down, and then shouted loudly:
"Everyone, you don't need to do this. You can do whatever you want. I will leave immediately after staying for a while."

Korean class is obvious, if the director is present during the dinner, the staff may not let go, so he didn't plan to stay longer, he was going to say hello to a few actors and then leave.

The booing and greetings continued one after another, and Xu Lin only saw the leading actors of the crew when he went to the innermost part.

Kong Liu, Zheng Yumi, Kim Soo-an, Kim Eui-seong, Ma Dong-seok and others also waved to him, signaling him to come over.

After Xu Lin approached, Kong Liu immediately picked up the wine glass and handed it to him, with a blush on his face, he said with a smile:
"Hey Yigu, my younger brother, you've come, hurry up, come and have a drink with my brother."

"Brother, are you drunk now?" Xu Lin took the cup, asked, and looked at the other actors with a smile.

"I still have something to do, so I can't stay for too long, so let's have a drink together, and I'll leave after drinking."

"Eh?" Kong Liu was taken aback, and said, "So fast? Why don't you join us for a drink of soju?"

"Ouba, let Xiao Xu go when he is busy, we will have time to get together in the future." Zheng Yumei stood beside her and said.

Of all the people present, only the two of them knew Xu Lin well, and the rest had only met a few times, so they were not familiar. Ma Dongxi and Jin Yicheng stood up, holding their wine glasses, with smiles on their faces.

What surprised Xu Lin the most was the little girl, Jin Xiuan, who also got up from her family and held the drink in her hand.

It made Xu Lin smile happily, and patted her head affectionately.

"The little girl is so cute."

"Ouba, I'm not a child anymore."

These words made the adults beside him intend to correct the address, but they were blocked by Xu Lin's next words.

"Well then, Xiu'an is also an adult."

"Guess! It's my mother who doesn't let me drink soju."

"Children can't drink alcohol." Xu Lin corrected, but his face was full of smiles, which made the actors laugh.

Only Jin Xiuan puffed up her face and said nothing.Seeing this, Xu Lin raised his glass and was taken aback after drinking the soju with the actors.

"Assi, I forgot I was driving a car!"

"..." X6
Just when Xu Lin was upset, Ma Dongxi suddenly said, "My assistant is here, why don't you let him see Director Xu?"

"Uh, that's fine." Xu Lin nodded, glanced at the slightly shy big man in reality, and said with a smile: "Brother Ma Dongxi, you should eat more. In the movie, you are the god of war in the carriage."

"The director is right." Ma Dongxi grinned: "Then I will not be polite, and I will enjoy it today."

"You go ahead and eat, I will pay the bill then, no, I will pay for all your expenses today."

As soon as these words came out, Kong Liu immediately started calling Xu Lin's name, motivating the audience, and then the staff and actors present all shouted his name like a pyramid scheme.

Xu Lin grinned amidst shouts, waved his hand to stop, bid farewell with a drink, and walked out of the restaurant.

As I said just now, Ma Dongxi's assistant came to drive, and Xu Lin sat in the back seat and reported his address, then lay down comfortably, and started to contact Jiang Min with his mobile phone.

You have to be responsible for what you say. Jiang Min is the assistant director of this movie, and he doesn't have much distance from the staff.

Just let him go to a dinner party and give him money to settle the bill.

Winter in Seoul is very cold, but there are still girls with bare legs walking around on both sides of the road, and their boots are rattling.

The commercial vehicle soon stopped in front of a villa. It can only be said that the villas in Jiangnan District understand everything.

Xu Lin got out of the car and walked to the door, and pressed the doorbell. After a while, an aunt opened the door and took him in.

The villa is large in size, with a swimming pool and entertainment facilities. After a brief observation of the four weeks, Xu Lin stepped into the living room full of European style. Li Xiuman was standing in front of the glass and looking outside.

Xu Lin was stunned by the slightly aged back, and a trace of respect emerged in his heart, you must know that he started from scratch.

Walking behind the other party, Xu Lin bowed respectfully.

"Director Li Xiuman nim, sorry to bother you."

"Well, here we come."

Li Xiuman still didn't look back.

Seeing him like this, Xu Lin thought for a while and said bluntly:
"Director nim, you don't want your self-made company to be ruined by Jin Yingmin, do you?"

Li Xiuman: "???"
-
Zhejiang, Hengdian.

The red bridge of the palace, red walls and black roofs, bungalows, and willows fluttering by the lake, the crew of "War God" is filming.

Following the director's order, the actors came out one after another, pretending to be okay, and walked out. The same was true for Lin Yuner, who had blood on the corner of her mouth. She walked outside the hall, took the water and quickly rinsed her mouth.

After spitting out all the blood bags in her mouth, she held the corner of her yellow dress and looked at the little assistant beside her.

"Miaomiao, did your phone ring while I was filming?"

"The phone didn't ring, is O'Neill okay?" Chen Qianmiao leaned over and said, "O'Neill's filming for today is over."

"Wait a little longer and see what the director says first."

"Come on, Ernie."

Hearing this, Chen Qian nodded her head. She is the assistant responsible for Lin Yuner's domestic itinerary. She studied in Korea before and applied to work in an entertainment company half a year after graduation.

And she didn't expect that she would become Lin Yun'er's assistant. She just took the job not long ago, so she was very cautious.

Although they just met for a few days, Lin Yuner still likes her quite a bit. Seeing her cautious appearance, she said softly:

"Miaomiao, are you afraid of me?"

"Eh? How come O'Neill!" Chen Qianmiao quickly waved her hand and said, "O'Neill is so beautiful, I'm not afraid."

"Then why don't you talk to me?"

"Uh……"

These words made Chen Qianmiao blush a little, and after thinking about it, she responded softly: "O'Neill is beautiful, I'm shy."

"..." Lin Yun'er was silent, blinked her clear eyes and looked her up and down, then pursed her lips thoughtfully, and asked in a low voice: "Do you like girls?"

"Of course not!" Chen Qianmiao immediately retorted: "I'm just afraid that I'm a newcomer and I won't be able to take good care of O'Neill."

"I don't need you to take care of me." Lin Yun'er explained to her softly: "It's okay, I'm also a newcomer, why do you always want to take care of me, I'm not without hands and feet."

"Uh, but the assistant is here to take care of the artists. He has to do all the work of your basic necessities."

It is true that the environment of the two countries is different, and the treatment of artists is naturally different. Apart from the work of food, clothing, housing and transportation, most Korean teams will not deliberately take care of artists, otherwise they will definitely not be able to control them.

Regarding Chen Qianmiao's remarks, Lin Yuner felt helpless, and simply took her arm and explained to her:
"I'm an artist, you're an assistant, Miao Miao, just do your job well, don't worry about mine, we can be friends in private, you don't have to be so cautious."

"Got Ernie." Chen Qianmiao nodded and asked, "Oni, what do you want to eat tonight, I'll order it for you."

"I haven't figured it out yet, do you have any suggestions?"

Lin Yuner first asked, then suddenly pointed to the outside of Hengdian.

"I heard there is a food stall over there, have you tried it?"

"Uh...no, no."

"Noni invites you to eat, okay?"

"..."

The other party's attitude was extremely kind, which made Chen Qianmiao a little at a loss. Just as she was about to speak, she heard a voice from the crowd:
"Okay! Let's stop here today!"

It's the director's voice.

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuner beamed with joy, and said to Chen Qianmiao: "Come on, let's say goodbye to the director, and Ernie will take you to eat delicious food. Don't worry about it, remember to translate for me."

"But... O'Neill, there are many people over there, if you go to eat, you will be easily recognized by the fans." Chen Qianmiao persuaded.

Apart from filming, Hengdian is also a tourist attraction. There are various re-enacted parks inside. Most people who like costume dramas will choose to visit here, including her fans.Girls' Generation was once popular in Asia, and Yoona Lin is very well-known in China, and now there are not a few fans who come to see her filming.

In case of being recognized, as a girl, Chen Qianmiao might not be able to protect her well, let alone take her out for fun, so she wanted to politely reject her, but it was useless.Although Lin Yuner is not disobedient, she is definitely not that kind of honest child.

Seeing her so well-behaved, Lin Yuner immediately seduced her: "Miao Miao, O'Neill finally came to China to film a movie, if you don't let me eat delicious food, I will be very sad, will you go with me?"

"Uh..." Chen Qianmiao looked into her clear eyes, gritted her teeth, and said, "Okay, but O'Neill has to cover it up."

"Of course it's okay, GOGOGO."

Pulling this cute and obedient little assistant, Lin Yuner trotted to the side of the chief director, bowed and said something in a babbling voice, the director only understood after Chen Qianmiao translated, and nodded goodbye.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Yuner took Chen Qianmiao away, got a hat and a mask in the business car, and the two quietly walked into the restaurant in the scenic area, because she was Chinese, so she ate very well.

After dinner, the two returned to the hotel by car. After returning to the room, Lin Yuner began to work hard, silently reading the script.

The bay windows of the hotel are at a good height, and if you look out, you can see the prosperity of the whole city.And Chen Qianmiao was sitting next to her, looking at her mobile phone, preparing for tomorrow's work schedule.

Suddenly, Lin Yuner said: "Miaomiao, can you talk to me in Chinese in the future?"

"Mo?"

Hearing this, Chen Qianmiaowen raised her head and saw that she was still reading the script with downcast eyes, and asked:

"Was Ernie talking to me just now?"

"Well, I want to learn Chinese. I feel ashamed today. I can't speak Chinese, and others can't understand it."

"Uh...how is Oni's Chinese level?"

"I don't know..." Lin Yun'er muttered.

After a pause, she put down the script in her hand, set her eyes on Chen Qianmiao's face, and said in Chinese very seriously:

"Nihao, I am Lin Run'e from Girls' Generation."

"..."

Seeing the other party holding back a smile, Lin Yun'er became anxious.

"Ah! I just have to learn because I don't know how to speak!"

"Hahaha, O'Neill's voice is so sweet when he speaks Chinese." Chen Qianmiao smiled immediately, her expression gradually becoming presumptuous.

There is no way, Lin Yun'er is not easy to get angry, after all, this guy is praising her, but what's the matter with the voice?

"Xiao Miao, teach me Chinese?"

"That's not right, Ernie." Chen Qianmiao moved closer to her, stared at her and said, "It's Xiao Miao, please ask me to speak Chinese."

"Please ask me to speak Chinese?"

"Take it easy Ernie, read to me, teach~"

"……teach?"

"Yes, sister, you are very smart."

Upon hearing this, Lin Yuner smiled happily, she could understand a few sentences in Chinese, obviously the other party was complimenting her.

The best way to learn Chinese is to have frequent conversations with Chinese people. Although her boyfriend is Chinese, every time Lin Yuner asks him to learn, Xu Lin is always impatient and laughs at her.

This guy would get impatient if he taught a few sentences, so he called it self-learning, and Lin Yuner never asked him to speak Chinese again.

It's not enough to be angry, she's just upset anyway.

I have to work hard on my own...

Then surprise this dog thing!
Thinking of this, the corners of Lin Yuner's lips rose uncontrollably, and while looking at the well-behaved girl in front of her, she said:

"Xiao Miao, can you teach me a word?"

"Huh? What does O'Neill want to learn?" Chen Qianmiao asked.

"Well... come here." Lin Yun'er hooked her fingers, and muttered softly when the other party brought her ear closer.

Chen Qianmiao's face gradually became strange when she heard her muttering, as if she couldn't believe what she said.

After a moment of silence, she nodded.

"Oni, this sentence in Chinese is..."

Compared with Lin Yuner who is learning Chinese here, Xu Lin who is far away in South Korea looks more tired. After being sent home by Ma Dongxi's assistant, he feeds Leo first, and then collapses on the sofa.

Thinking back on everything that happened today, Xu Lin sneered, thinking it was very funny, and then the phone vibrated suddenly.

He picked up his phone and looked at it, and found that it was a voice message from Lin Yuner, he clicked on it to play without thinking.

In the next second, a milky voice came.

"Xu Lin is a stupid dog..."

???

Chinese?

Xu Lin's face was full of question marks, not sure if it was Lin Yuner's voice, he clicked the play button again by accident.

"Xu Lin is a stupid dog..."

"Grass! Are you swearing?!"
