My landlord is a big star

Chapter 142.

Inside the studio.

Xu Lin held the mouse and scrolled the scroll wheel, his eyes fixed on the computer screen, he was very concerned about the new song of Girls' Generation.

Girls' Generation's fan base is there, and the sound source performance is naturally not bad. Almost just after the sound source was released, "Lion Heart" airborne on major music charts with an unstoppable momentum.

[Girls' Generation's new look exposed, returning to the 80s]

【Lion Heart】

【Lin Yuner dyed her black hair back again】

[The sound source is foggy, who is the final winner? 】

"This news...couldn't be bought in advance?"

Xu Lin murmured to himself, looking at all the positive comments on the screen, feeling inexplicably unexpected.

【So beautiful, she vomited blood and died】

[To be honest, Girls' Generation really made a big hit this time, and they have completely different styles from before. The news said that the album has double hits? 】

[Will there be clothes in the MV for playing songs?It’s so pretty, it must be fun if everyone plays songs in this kind of clothes]

[The Age of Love KKKK should be called the Age of Big Mom now, right? 】

【The squid face upstairs don't be too jealous】

[Can you live without falling in love for the rest of your life?Artists are also ordinary people, why are they so harsh on them? 】

[The last time Girls’ Generation returned seemed to be a few days ago. I really don’t understand why SM is crazy. As a Sone, I really feel that Taeyeon is too tired, so she should arrange a proper rest, right? 】

[Isn't it good to come back?If you don’t return to the girl group market, you will be eaten by others. Although there are a few sisters who are in love, this does not affect our support. I hope the sales will have a good result]

[It's almost impossible, since the personnel changes and news of the relationship, many old fans with purchasing power have left...]

The most intuitive way to return to the results is album sales. At present, there is no girl group in Korea that can rival Girls’ Generation, but the characteristics of Koreans are that they are fickle and loving. If you say you are not a fan, you will not be a fan. This is also related to the development of the entertainment industry. , It is normal for sales to fluctuate.

But after all, a skinny camel is bigger than a horse. Even if Girls' Generation's music source and sales are more hip, it is not something that other girl groups can collide with. The album's pre-sale sales reached 13 copies on the day.

It seems that it is really incomparable with the million sales of the boy group, but the girl group market and the boy group market are not at the same level. Now the girl group market seems to be blooming, but in fact they are all in the mud. The second generation group is gradually ending, and the third generation group can only Struggle to maintain, the new girl group has not yet developed, this will only be the end of the girl group market.

Nowadays, major companies want to launch a girl group to replace Girls’ Generation and carry the banner of the girl group market, but judging from the current situation, it’s just a dream. The most popular girl group is Three Generations of Light A- pink, the album sold more than 7 copies in the first month.

You don’t even need to look at other girl groups. Basically, they all have between 1000 and [-] copies. Even girl groups with more than [-] copies have them. Now the girl group market is in urgent need of fresh blood, and the second-generation girl group cannot turn the tide.

Looking at Girls' Generation, which is at the top of the music source list, Xu Lin doesn't know what to do. The sales of [-] are indeed a bit shabby.
-
On August 8, KBS TV station.

In the waiting room of the "Music Bank" program group, Girls' Generation and others gathered together with the staff, doing makeup and resting on the sofa, the eight of them were a little informal.

bang bang bang...

At this time, there was a knock on the door, and before the little assistant who had stood up opened the door, the door of the lounge was pushed open. Xu Lin poked his head out with two bouquets of flowers, and waved to Zhao Bingwan with a smile.

Zhao Bingwan looked at the man at the door, and the corner of his mouth twitched:
"How did you come?"

"Ah... I have an interview on KBS today." Xu Lin walked into the lounge and said, "I just heard that Girls' Generation is recording a program here, so I bought two bouquets of flowers to see."

"..."

Why don't you lie to me... Zhao Bingwan thought to himself, glanced at him like an idiot, and said without revealing the other party:

"They're inside, go in and say hello."

"Ah, that's fine."

Xu Lin nodded with a smile, turned sideways and walked past him, walked into the room, first glanced at the people on the sofa, and after seeing Lin Yuner's stunned expression, he raised his hand with a smile:

"I just happened to pass by. I heard that you have a singing stage. I specially bought two bouquets of flowers for you. I wish you success in singing."

"Hey Yigu, Director Xu..."

"It turns out that Xu Lin is here."

"Thank you director, we will definitely work hard."

Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu are relatively familiar with him. The first two sentences came from their mouths, while the last sentence was said by Seo Hyun, who is two years older than him. She stood up, took a bouquet of flowers and just She wanted to receive another bouquet of flowers, but she never wanted to be taken by Lin Yuner suddenly.

"Thank you Director Xu nim."

"Uh... You're welcome." Xu Lin smiled slightly, and raised his hand to look at the watch on his wrist: "It's still early, when will you perform on stage? If I have time, I would like to see your stage."

"Rehearsal right away, the official recording will be after nine o'clock." Lin Yuner pretended not to know him well, and said respectfully: "Is Director Xu busy?"

"I just finished the interview, and I'm fine now."

"Ah..." Lin Yuner suddenly realized and nodded.

Looking at the elder sister and Director Xu Lin in front of him, Xu Xian suddenly felt confused, his eyes secretly glanced back and forth between the two of them, and always felt that it was a bit strange for them to chat.

"It's okay Director Xu, if you want to watch it, you can take a rest on the sofa, we need a little time."

"Well, Xu Xian..." Xu Lin quickly glanced at the members of the waiting room, and asked involuntarily, "Where is Kwon Yuri?"

"Oni went to T-ara's side."

"..." Xu Lin smiled, but didn't say much.

Tiffany and Kim Hyoyeon were putting on makeup and couldn't speak, while Kwon Yuri went to T-ara's lounge to chat with good friends.

When he was sitting on the sofa to rest, he took a look at the shape of their bodies at the moment, and the overall makeup was smoky makeup.

Another title song in the album, "You Think", is a fast-paced pop dance song. The lyrics are completely opposite to "Lion Heart", and the lyrics strongly express the state of mind of a strong woman after breaking up.

SM had a plan to create a dark youth group before. It can only be said that Li Xiuman's concept of secondary school is incomprehensible to ordinary people.

There are a total of three sofas in the lounge, one long sofa in front of the wall and two vertical sofas put together to form a concave shape.

And Xu Lin was sitting on the sofa on the left, with Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu occupying the middle, Lin Yuner sat next to him holding the bouquet, looking at Xu Xian sitting opposite from time to time, her heart was pounding.

Others don't know, but she does know that Xu Xian looks like a good girl on the surface, but in fact she has a darker belly than anyone else in her heart. I'm afraid it won't be long before she finds out about her relationship with Xu Lin.

Lin Yuner thought for a while, put the bouquet on the sofa, got up and sat down beside Xu Xian, subconsciously reached out and touched her thigh.

"What is Xiaoxian thinking about? It seems that you have something on your mind."

"Hmm...I was thinking about Soyeon Unnie."

Xu Xian lowered his eyes slightly, pursed his lips, and showed a helpless look on his face: "T-ara finally came back again, but most fans in the music industry are still boycotting them. We all know what's going on, but just There is no way to explain the situation to the outside world.”

"Don't worry, didn't Yuli go to find Xiaomin?" Lin Yuner straightened her long legs, put her right foot on her left, and said, "Everyone will know the truth sooner or later, just trust them now."

"Hmm... Do you want to exchange albums later?"

"Okay." Lin Yun'er smiled like a flower, holding Xu Xian's arm to play with, and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

It seems that he thought too much, Xu Xian didn't seem to notice that something was wrong when he got along with Xu Lin.

Just when she let down her vigilance, Xu Xian suddenly turned her head, with smiling eyes, and asked with a pure and innocent face:
"Is O'Neill and Director Xu on good terms in private?"

"Uh..." Lin Yuner choked for a moment, she pretended to be stupid and blinked at Xu Xian: "No, it's just acquaintance."

"Really?" Xu Xian raised the corners of his lips quietly: "But why do I feel that the relationship between O'Neill and Director Xu is unusual?"

"Because I regard him as a friend, and you all regard him as a director of the company." Lin Yuner put on a look of course: "You know me best, and I want to make friends with everyone."

"Then O'Neill, you have to be careful." Xu Xian touched her arm with his elbow: "Director Xu has been peeking at you just now."

Lin Yuner: "...?"

She didn't care about the pain in her arm, and followed Xu Xian's wishes, she raised her head and looked in Xu Lin's direction.

Human consciousness can never go wrong. Lin Yuner and Xu Lin are in a relationship, and they are not that sensitive to each other's gaze.

But Xu Xian is different. As an artist, she is very aware of the feeling of being peeped at. At first she thought Xu Lin was peeking at her, but after carefully feeling her gaze, she was sure that the other party's gaze was not on her. Instead, it lingered on Lin Yun'er beside her.

Sure enough, the moment Lin Yuner looked over, Xu Lin didn't hesitate at all, and turned to look at the dressing table, showing a look of interest in makeup, inexplicably a little embarrassed.

Looking at Xu Lin in a suit, Lin Yuner's mouth twitched.

"Uh...maybe it's because we're good friends?"

"That's not it." Xu Xian denied in a low voice: "I'm very sensitive to other people's eyes. Just now, Director Xu sneaked at you five or six times. If he thinks O'Neill is beautiful, generally speaking, two glances are enough. Yes, peeking often is probably because you want to pursue O'Neill."

"...where did you hear these theories?"

"It says in the book."

"..."

Lin Yuner opened her mouth and rolled her eyes at her. She and Xu Xian have been friends since childhood, and they are also the youngest person in the team. It is relatively easy to communicate, but she has no reason to refute now.

Because after hearing what Xu Xian said, she paid special attention to Xu Lin who was opposite, and found that he was indeed sneaking glances at her from time to time.

how to say.

The mood is a bit strange, both happy and speechless.

Lin Yuner pursed her lips and thought about excuses, she waved her hands showing an absurd expression, and said in a low voice full of confidence:

"There are too many people chasing me, even the directors have to queue."

"Ah?" Seeing her stinky fart, Xu Xian laughed out loud: "O'Neill thinks too much, don't you dislike young children? Although he is a director, his age does not meet your mate selection requirements." Necessary, let alone O'Neill, I am two years older than him."

"..."

These words were like knives, mercilessly piercing Lin Yuner's fragile heart, she suddenly felt a sense of guilt like an old cow eating young grass, the corners of her mouth twitched, and she tentatively retorted:
"Age doesn't really matter..."

"Huh?" Xu Xian looked at her in surprise.

"Uh... I mean you're right." Lin Yun'er hastily changed her tone: "Sister-brother relationship is not good, I don't like it."

After finishing speaking, she stood up, casually found an excuse and said:

"Why hasn't Yuli Oni come back yet, I'll go see her."

"..."

Xu Xian looked at the back of Lin Yuner walking out, the eyebrows on his face were slightly wrinkled, he looked at Xu Lin, and then at Lin Yuner's back.

"it's wired……"

Outside the Girls' Generation lounge, Lin Yuner stood by the door, silently thinking about when to confess to the members.

Obviously, as the members keep in touch with Xu Lin, some small details will be discovered sooner or later. Instead of letting the members guess, she might as well explain it honestly, so she doesn't have to worry about it.

Lin Yuner took a deep breath, and walked towards the T-ara lounge while thinking about announcing this matter after finishing her busy time.

At the same time, Xu Lin was leisurely sitting on the sofa in the lounge and looking at his mobile phone. Once Lin Yuner left, he lost interest.

The main thing is that he doesn't know what to talk about with other people. Girls' Generation is from the music industry, and he is from the film and television industry. Apart from Ost, he has no connection with the music industry, not to mention that it would be strange to suddenly talk about Ost.

The atmosphere was a bit awkward. As the first person to know about Xu Lin and Lin Yuner's relationship, Taeyeon naturally wouldn't embarrass him too much.

"Director Xu."

"Huh?" Xu Lin looked up at her after turning off the screen.

"I heard that the company will have team building activities at the end of the year?" Kim Taeyeon tried hard to find the topic: "Do you know the specific schedule?"

"You know a little bit, what's the matter?" Xu Lin asked back.

Kim Taeyeon covered her mouth with her hands and smiled, "No, I just heard about it from the staff. I'm a little tired recently. Girls' Generation will come back after TTS. I'm going to be a solo this year. Maybe it's a bit stressful. Thinking about going out to play at the end of the year."

Originally, she wasn't the kind of character who took the initiative to talk to someone, but the other party was also Lin Yuner's boyfriend, her brother-in-law, she couldn't just let him just sit around, it would be so embarrassing for no one to chat with him.

In addition, she really wanted to know about this matter, and what she just said was true, and her schedule was almost full.

Hearing this, Xu Lin nodded with a smile. He also knew that Taeyeon wanted to take care of himself, so he simply didn't hide it:

"About December, the location should be Bali Island. The specifics depend on the marketing department. You know, their group of people are out of tune. Anyway, Supervisor Li Xiuman wants to go to a place with the sea."

"Ah ~ the sea." Kim Taeyeon repeated.

At this time, Li Shungui, who was paralyzed on the sofa and playing with her mobile phone, finally sat up, and she stretched her waist and leaned on Kim Taeyeon's shoulder:
"As long as it's not cold, it's also Bali, I heard."

"You heard that too?" Taeyeon turned her head and almost kissed Li Shungui's face, but she tilted her head back in time: "Hey, I was scared to death... Where did you hear that, why didn't I Know?"

"You live in the dormitory every day, and you don't have many friends. Isn't it normal that you don't know?" Li Shungui left her shoulder: "It's spread all over the company, and now I'm afraid you are the only one who doesn't know."

"I……!"

Kim Taeyeon was speechless, she was right, she used to stay alone in the dormitory when she was free, or stay at home, anyway, she didn't go out, and she had to order takeaway or just eat casually.

Hearing this, Xu Lin rolled his eyes at Taeyeon in surprise, mainly because he didn't expect the captain to beat the team members, so he was a little surprised.

Xu Lin chatted with Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu with great interest, and didn't say anything inappropriate, but talked about Girls' Generation's past encounters and the opponents they will face in this comeback. After a while, Xu Xian and Tiffany also Join in and reminisce about the past.

About 10 minutes later, Lin Yuner and Kwon Yuri returned to the lounge. After seeing Kim Taeyeon and others chatting, the two of them hurried over to join the chat, and the whole lounge kept smiling.

It was after [-]:[-] in the evening, and the practice room of Girls' Generation suddenly became lively. According to the rules when playing songs in Korea, the juniors have to visit the seniors with their albums.And Xu Lin also saw their status in the music industry. Girl groups such as GFriend, T-ara, MAMAMOO and A-pink came to visit them with their albums.

And Kim Taeyeon also played the role of captain, not only exchanging albums with new and old groups, but also speaking very beautifully on the scene. In addition to girl groups, there are also many boy groups who came to visit with their albums. They have hardly rested since the beginning However, I kept talking about scenes.

Xu Lin felt a little embarrassed, and after telling them, he got up and left the lounge, and followed Zhao Bingwan to the stage. After the visit, the new song recording stage was over, and he was going to enjoy it.

There is a distance between the stage and the audience seats, and this distance is just enough to accommodate the shooting machine.

Xu Lin and Zhao Bingwan stood at the far left of the auditorium, where they could not only see the stage, but also not hinder the filming of the show.

About 10 minutes later, each group went on stage to rehearse their dance positions, and then began to record the singing stage.

Xu Lin didn't know the previous groups, and he didn't bother to understand, but Zhao Bingwan suddenly introduced to him:

"Did you see, the group on stage is called T-ara, and they were also our SNSD rivals before, what a pity, a pity."

"...I seem to know this group." Xu Lin said in T-ara's passionate dance song: "They are very popular in China."

"Really?" Zhao Bingwan sighed: "It's good, at least it's a way out. These children are unlucky, and there are problems in decision-making. Even if someone knows that the bullying is false, they will not stand up and clarify for them. Yes, their company looks too ugly."

The Korean market is so big in total, T-ara returned crazily before nothing happened, and they appeared almost every month, obviously touching the unspoken rules of the industry, which also led to follow-up things.

Xu Lin didn't speak, just nodded, leaning on the guardrail separating the auditorium from the stage, silently watching the stage.

T-ara's comeback song this time is called "So crazy", and their playing clothes are very distinctive. Today their playing clothes are sailor suits and white high heels, with skirts and V-shaped shorts, and their long legs are white and shiny.

After they finished their performance and bid farewell to the audience, Girls' Generation finally stepped onto the stage. Unlike the dullness just now, the eight girls greeted enthusiastic cheers and screams as soon as they appeared on stage.

Xu Lin subconsciously covered his ears first, but his eyes stared straight at Lin Yuner on the stage, with a flash of amazement in his eyes.

When they were in the waiting room just now, they didn't change their outfits. At this time, Girls' Generation had already put on the "You Think" song costumes.

Lin Yuner is wearing white horizontal shorts with some rivets wrapped around the waistband of the pants, a pair of black high-heeled leather boots on her feet, and a small camisole top with a black fishnet coat, her hair is pressed to the hairline It was tied up after being divided into thirty-seven points.

What surprised Xu Lin the most was the collar on her neck. He could accept it no matter if it was a belt on the clothes or an iron chain, but this iron chain collar...it looks good, but it just feels awkward.

The stage quietly started to record, Xu Lin just looked at it like this, and was brought into a smile by the audience, and the cheers were really loud.

In the past two years, the trend of being sexy has become the mainstream of girl groups, and girl groups that take the sexy road all do some sexually suggestive dance moves.

And this song of Girls' Generation is a strong dance song, and the content of the lyrics is to express a woman's sharp advice to her ex-boyfriend's endless malicious rumors after breaking up, which seems to be the style of hip-hop.

Their makeup is also good, shorts, leather clothes, fishnet stockings, lace collars and some hip-hop accessories with steel and titanium chains. They really look like a dark and youthful style. This is also the first time Xu Lin has seen his girlfriend dressed like this. She attracts all eyes.

As for the music...he thinks that's it. After all, he is not a professional, and he doesn't understand good or bad, he just thinks it sounds good.

Seeing them leave the stage in a hurry after the recording, Xu Lin did not know the group that came out to perform, but he also applauded with the audience, and he still had to cheer when it was time to cheer.

About half an hour later, Girls' Generation came on stage again. This time they changed their outfits. The retro style is different from the hip-hop style just now. Eight girls stood in front of the stage in sequin dresses and glass skirts with high heels underneath. Then continue recording.

How should I put it... Generally speaking, Xu Lin didn't hear Lin Yuner sing a few lines of lyrics, whether it's "You Think" or "Lion heart", she doesn't have many parts, so she just let go of her crazy gait.

The on-site live is also enjoyable, every time Kim Taeyeon's face becomes ugly, even if her voice is full of anger, she can't help it.

Because it was the first performance, they couldn't compete for the first place, so Xu Lin and Zhao Bingwan didn't stay at the scene for long.

The two returned to the lounge to rest, and Xu Lin leaned on the armrest of the sofa and suddenly asked Zhao Bingwan beside him:
"Does Kim Taeyeon want to solo?"

"Ah... yes." Zhao Bingwan replied: "Girls' Generation will not develop after that. The company promoted Red Velvet. They will develop their own careers later. Taeyeon will definitely become a singer."

"So red velvet is coming back too?"

"Well, come back in September."

"The company is... amazing."

Xu Lin couldn't help sighing, as a director, he had to agree with SM's way of milking children, and as the boss of the studio, he also knew that the higher-ups liked Kim Taeyeon and Lin Yuner more.

For example, Lin Yuner, she belongs to the kind of high investment and high return, and she can bring significant benefits to the company if she is given resources.

And Kim Taeyeon is a collectivist. After Girls’ Generation, she didn’t do any activities before focusing on her solo and fully cooperating with the company. High-level executives like this kind of strong and dedicated people.

Properly selected as a worker, a good nurse for children.

Xu Lin stroked his chin thoughtfully.

Seeing him like this, Cho Byung-man's face was as if the bottom of the pot, and he immediately explained SM's position to him:
"You have already signed Lin Yuner, it is impossible for the company to release Kim Taeyeon to you, it is useless to say anything."

"Uh..." Xu Lin spread his hands, "I didn't think so."

"Come on, I don't know you yet?" Zhao Bingwan muttered angrily, "Let Kim Taeyeon go to you again, will the company's girl group continue? Red Velvet is still a newcomer."

This made Xu Lin speechless. It is indeed a bit unreasonable to poach the elites and absolute group souls of other companies.

But Kim Taeyeon is really greedy for being a worker...
