My landlord is a big star

Chapter 95 94. Invitation to the Film Festival (111)

The plane landed in Xiangjiang, China, and changed planes again. At nine o'clock in the morning, the plane landed in Seoul.

Due to the large number of media arriving in South Korea, the young couple chose to go home separately. Lin Yuner walked out of the airport with two suitcases, and drove the business car that came earlier to go to the company.

Buying gifts is naturally for giving to others, and today all Girls' Generation members are practicing dance at the company.

The black business car drove quickly on the road. After arriving at the company, she happily entered the company through the back door with a gift, and pushed open the door of the practice room, a gloomy atmosphere swept over.

Looking carefully at the practice room, Lin Yuner found that there were only eight people including her, and the rest were dance teachers.

"...Oh? Yoona is back?"

Team Kim Taeyeon's voice made everyone look at the door, and they were not too surprised when they found out that it was a familiar person. Lin Yuner pursed her lips, pretending to be very happy and said with a smile:

"Onis~ Yoona is back, I brought you a lot of presents, I came here as soon as I got off the plane."

"Really? Thank you Yoona." Kim Taeyeon got up and walked towards her and said to the others: "Everyone, come here, Yoona brought us a gift, we will practice later."

"Oh, here we come." Li Shungui was the second to get up.

The rest stood up one after another, walked up to Lin Yuner, and expressed their thanks after taking the chocolates.

The atmosphere was still dull, but it was much better than before Lin Yuner came. Everyone tasted the chocolate as if nothing happened, and then praised her fiercely, but she couldn't be happy.

Holding the last box of chocolates, Lin Yuner sat on the armrest of the sofa in the practice room and blinked.

After a short break, the dance teacher led everyone to stretch their bodies, and then the eight practiced dancing.

Two hours later, with the sound of shoes rubbing against the floor, the practice ended. Eight girls came to sit in front of the sofa one by one, silently wiping the sweat from their foreheads.

At this time, there was a conversation outside the practice room door, and with a click, a group of men in suits and leather shoes pushed the door open.

Everyone looked at the door together, and after seeing who was coming, they hurriedly stood up, looking flustered, and stood in a row.

Jin Yingmin glanced at the group of girls, nodded in satisfaction, and then turned to look at the man beside him.

"This is Girls' Generation's practice room, Supervisor Li."

"...Hmm! It's not bad, I've known you for a long time." Li Quanbin nodded in satisfaction, and after sweeping across Lin Yuner's face, he was slightly startled, and said frankly, "Yuner xi? I ​​remember we met."

"Nai, Li Gu... Supervisor Li nim."

Lin Yuner bowed politely towards him.

Seeing this, Jin Yingmin's eyes lit up, and hurriedly introduced to Girls' Generation and the others: "This is the supervisor sent by CJ Entertainment, Supervisor Li Quanbin, children, please ask Supervisor Li."

"President nim." Kim Taeyeon bowed: "Supervisor Li nim, I am Kim Taeyeon, the captain of Girls' Generation."

"I'm Sunny."

"Supervisor Li nim, I am..."

At the end of the introduction in order, Li Quanbin nodded in satisfaction, raised his hand and tightened his suit.

"Very good. It seems that our acquisition is right. Girls' Generation is worthy of being a national girl group. Its aura is different from other groups. Keep it up. The company will not treat you badly."

"Neither! Kang Sang Mita!"

The eight girls thanked in unison.

CJ Entertainment acquired nearly 18% of the shares of SM Entertainment, which is what happened in the past few days. Now CJ Entertainment has become a company that captures movies, TV dramas and K-POP music at the same time, and it is unique. It is normal to come to the supervisor, otherwise the company would not suddenly promote the consultant.

Similarly, the profits gained by SM are not small. As the leading idol company in Korea, what SM lacks most is not music resources, but film and television resources. The two companies are a win-win cooperation.

In this way, it will be easier for the company's idols to transform into actors, and they will not have to fumble.

Kim Young Min looked at Young Shi and the others, and shouted: "Lim Yoona, Kwon Yuri, Choi Sooyoung, and Seo Joo Hyun, let's go to the manager to confirm the future itinerary."

"Ah, the president nim." The four girls answered in unison, and Taeyeon beside him pursed her lips with her eyes trembling slightly.

She knew that the company was going to give film and television resources to her younger sisters, and the exchange of benefits between companies was cruel, and artists had no right to speak. Now she was very afraid that these people would get into trouble because of the resources.

The atmosphere in the team was not good, and if anything happened, it would be difficult for her as the captain to accept it.

"Supervisor Li, let's go and see the group of EXO kids. There are actors among them, and we have prepared a movie recently."

"Okay, do you have a script?" Li Quanbin turned around and chatted with Jin Yingmin with a smile: "President Jin should know director Xu Lin, and I will show him the script when the time comes, maybe he will give some good suggestions."

"That's really great. This director has a very popular reputation. I believe he will definitely make very good suggestions."

The conversation gradually faded away, and everyone relaxed until the door of the practice room was closed again. Kim Taeyeon thought for a while, lightly poked Lin Yoona's arm, and whispered after she looked at her:
"Come here, I have something to tell you."

"okay."

Lin Yuner got up and followed Taeyeon to sit in the corner, the other members didn't care, they were all busy with their own affairs.

Compared to other people, Kim Taeyeon chooses to trust Lim Yoona as a younger sister, not because other members are ignorant, but because Lim Yoona is relatively sensitive and can detect bad emotions of others.

There are some things she can't say clearly, so Taeyeon intends to ask her first, looking at the surrounding environment, she said:
"Yoona, you should know what President Kim Youngmin asked you to find a manager, right?"

"I know." Lin Yun'er sat down cross-legged and said, "The company cooperates with CJ Entertainment and wants to give us film and television resources."

"Well, the atmosphere in the team is not good. I'm afraid you will have conflicts over resources. Everyone is very sensitive recently. Whether it's the fans or us personally, we don't want any more troubles in our team."

"Ernie can say what he wants to say."

"Although it's a bit too much, I hope you, Yun'er, can observe the emotions of the three of them. If there is something wrong, I want to know, so that I can comfort them."

Kim Taeyeon said embarrassingly that she can't interfere with the allocation of resources, but comforting people is fine.

As the captain of Girls' Generation, she wants to balance the relationship between each member. Apart from Lee Soon Kyu, the younger sister who makes her worry the most is Lim Yoon Ah in front of her.

During the Black Sea period, she and Lin Yun'er ran their schedules desperately.

The reason is for the exposure of the group. Compared with Lin Yuner, she has not much schedule, but she is still facing overwhelming bad reviews. It is impossible to imagine how Lin Yuner persisted.

In that case, sensitivity is inevitable.

It is precisely because of this that Kim Taeyeon loves Lin Yuner even more, and rarely gets angry with her.

"Oni...I can't guarantee the rest, but I know that my resources must be the least."

"Huh? Why do you say that?"

"Because I'm going to develop in China soon, so the distribution of resources will be fairer and there will be no conflicts." Lin Yuner blinked, trying to reassure her in this way.

She is the group's top popularity and front face. Don't think about it, she has obtained the most film and television resources, none of them. If she goes to China to develop, the resources will naturally be distributed to other people.

Of course, this is not self-sacrifice, the Chinese market is huge, and Yoona can be regarded as challenging a new market.

I thought Taeyeon would breathe a sigh of relief when she heard this, but she frowned that vaguely.

"Yun'er, you didn't do this on purpose, did you?"

"Oni, are you stupid? My boyfriend is Chinese... What's more, I'm already well-known in China. What's wrong with taking the opportunity to open up the market, and I heard that it's easy over there."

"...Do you really think so?"

Even though they have been together for several years, Kim Taeyeon still can't guess her mind, this girl is very smart.

Hmm... Not only is she smart, but she also has a sense of self-sacrifice. If she went to a strange country alone to develop in order to avoid conflicts, Kim Taeyeon would not even dare to think about it, she would be so distressed.

Sensible and considerate of her, what a girl...

"What are you two talking about? Sneaky."

Not far away, Lee Soon Kyu stepped forward, put his arms around Lin Yuner's waist, looked at Kim Taeyeon with a smile, and showed a strange expression of 'you have a secret' on his face.

"I'm talking to O'Neill about my going to China for development."

"Ah? There's nothing to say about that. You can go if you want. Yoona is popular in China, and we're all going to China soon. Let's see the popularity."

China has a vast land and abundant resources, regardless of the reasons for its popularity, you can make a lot of money, who would think you have a lot of money?
"I'm not worried about Yuner." Taeyeon blushed pretty, "I'm afraid that Yuner won't get used to eating, so I'm worried."

The corner of Li Shungui's mouth twitched when he heard this: "Ah! You are the least qualified to say such a thing. When you went to China to participate in an event, you took everyone out secretly to buy something to eat."

"I, I'm used to eating, she may not be able to eat!"

The voice was a little guilty, and Taeyeon tried to speak hard, paying for the excuse that was blurted out just now.

"Huh? Really, do you think Yun'er is a picky eater? She eats like a pig!"

"How do I know! Pigs don't eat anything!"

Lin Yuner: "..."

No, let's talk, why are the two sisters still swearing, Lin Yuner, who was accidentally injured, stared dissatisfied.

"Ah! I'm not a pig! I also have things I don't like!"

As soon as these words came out, Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu looked at each other. They thought they would apologize a little, but in fact, instead of apologizing, they even looked at their sister in disbelief.

This made Lin Yun'er furious, she straightened up abruptly, stared angrily at the two older sisters in front of her, stretched out her small hands, as if she was asking for something.

"The Ernies are too bad, give me back the chocolate!"

"I'm done eating." Lee Soon Kyu asked Kim Taeyeon, "How about you?"

"I'm done eating too, let's replenish my strength!"

"Ah! How could such a big box of chocolates be eaten up! I won't bring you any presents in the future!"

Lin Yuner put her hands on her hips in dissatisfaction.

It wasn't until Kim Taeyeon and Lee Soon Kyu couldn't hold back their laughter that she stretched out her sinful little hands to tickle them.

"...Axi! It's too much!"

"Hahahaha, stop, stop, stop! Alright, I won't quarrel with you anymore, do you want to go and see the new combination together later?"

Li Shungui's eyes lit up, and he asked a few questions suddenly.

Speaking of the company's latest girl group, Yoona Lin said frankly: "That group of Seul Gi? I heard they were scolded."

"...Don't worry, the company's old routine, black fans are also fans, it's better to be scolded than to have no exposure."

For the company's style, Kim Taeyeon is very familiar with it. She knows exactly what this combination will face. After thinking about it for a while, she plans to talk to the captain of the other party.

Among other things, she Kim Taeyeon has done the best when it comes to nursing children, and the captain must have something to talk to the captain.

At least it can give the new captain a reassurance.

The three seniors hit it off immediately, and after getting up, they left the practice room when they were young and went to Red velvet's practice room.

As kind and kind seniors, it is natural to prepare gifts when visiting juniors. Lim Yoona and Lee Soon Kyu encouraged Kim Taeyeon to buy coffee before arriving at the door of the new group's practice room.

dong dong dong.

Gently knocked on the door, and after getting the answer of please come in, the three seniors pushed the door aggressively and entered.

There were not many people in the practice room, except for the four members who dyed their hair, there were only a few staff members and the dance teacher present, and it was not known where the manager had gone, it was really irresponsible.

"Senior nim..."

After seeing who was coming, a small girl quickly patted the girl lying on her shoulder, trying to wake her up.

Kim Taeyeon waved her hands when she saw it, and said softly, "Irene, don't call me Seulgi, we just came to see you."

"...inside." Pei Zhuxuan nodded, and then bowed to Son Seungwan and Park Sooyoung to say hello to the three seniors.

Debut artists must greet their seniors when they see their seniors. No matter what their personal relationship is, this is the etiquette that must be followed. After all, they are being scolded miserably now, so there should be no accidents.

After getting the coffee, a few people sat on the floor, Jiang Seulqi also woke up at this time, she blinked in confusion, showing an innocent expression.

It made a group of people laugh out loud. The newcomer had too much schedule, so she was so tired that she didn't have a good rest. After practice, she fell asleep next to Pei Zhuxuan. Jiang Seulqi came back to her senses after Lee Soon Kyu handed her coffee. He laughed, his little face flushed, feeling inexplicably ashamed.

Seeing this scene, Lin Yuner raised the corners of her lips, distributed the coffee to the staff, walked over to them and sat down.

"It's hard, isn't it? Seul Gi."

"Ah, O'Neill..." Jiang Seulqi, who was wronged, was about to speak when she was touched by Pei Zhuxuan next to her. After she realized it, she glanced at the seniors in front of her, and said obediently:

"Senior nim, hard work is not hard work..."

Looking at that sensitive girl, Taeyeon was a little dazed, she took a sip of coffee, said with a smile:
"Irene, it's okay, just call O'Neill."

"Huh? Ne... Ernie."
-
"...You show me this kind of script?"

"No, Asi, Xu Lin, I didn't know that SM would write such a bad script, the key point is that I haven't read it either."

"The idol company should make a good combination, suddenly want to point fingers at the film and television industry, are they crazy or the world is crazy?" Xu Lin threw the script on the desk, rubbing his brows lightly.

In the signing contract, CJ Entertainment stated that he can help make movies, but this kind of script is really impossible to make.

Up to now, "Jin Zhiying Born in 82" has exceeded 300 million viewers, with a total profit of 303 billion won. Xu Lin can now be called a great director.

But Li Quanbin suddenly threw him a script, saying that it was written by SM painstakingly, and it turned out...

His evaluation is thick and thin!

"Li Gu... Uh, supervisor Li, if I'm asked to make this kind of film, it's better to kick me out of Korea, really, it sucks!"

"People say it's a painstaking work, how do I know it's an idol drama?" Li Quanbin was speechless: "Huanxiba is an idol drama that cuts fans' leeks, it's not as good as rubbish!"

"...I made it clear, even if they shoot this kind of script, so what? The plot is too stinky!"

"You can't say that. The company has exchanged interests with SM. We opened up the music market, and they opened up the film and television market. The reputation of your movie has stabilized. You will definitely not be allowed to make this kind of movie. After a while, you I have to go to the film awards ceremony and try to win a few awards."

These days, movies do make money at the box office, but it is the major awards ceremonies that really lay the foundation for directors.

Nowadays, except for Xu Lin, most of the famous film works have trophies or honors, and there are many new directors who have won the final award.

Movie nominations belong to the nominations, and winning is the key. If you want to gain popularity, both works and opportunities are indispensable.

"This is unrealistic. You must know that I am Chinese, and the chance of winning an award is too small, and the film I made is relatively controversial. Do you think anyone dares to award me an award?"

"...You think the reality is too dark, Xu Lin." Li Quanbin lit a cigarette and handed another to Xu Lin.

After the two ignited, seeing Xu Lin's disdainful appearance, Li Quanbin sucked twice, exhaled a puff of smoke and said:

"During your absence, the company has received many invitations, but they are all from 15 years, such as invitations from the American Film Festival, Visions Du Reel International Film Festival, DMZ International Documentary Film Festival and Baeksang Arts Awards, You have to have confidence in yourself."

"American Film Festival?" Xu Lin hesitated for a few seconds, then smiled and said, "I heard that right, did they invite me?"

"Well, I invited you to the movie "Dear, Don't Cross That River". The movie that is currently being released has not been invited, but you can look forward to the Busan Film Festival."

The Busan Film Festival is held in Busan from September to October every year. According to Korean media, the Busan Film Festival is the most influential international film festival in Asia, and it is a "world-level" event.

Xu Lin nodded and asked, "Which of my films will participate? Or should I participate in both? Don't say you don't know."

"Well, the main reason is that our company is well-informed. You have participated in both films. I heard that there is a big prize waiting for you."

"Okay, time and place, the company will arrange for me to participate?" Xu Lin exhaled the smoke and looked at Li Quanbin lightly.

"Why didn't you participate?" Li Quanbin asked with a smile.

Regardless of whether he wins the award or not, it is impossible for CJ Entertainment to keep Xu Lin from showing up. He already has traffic and hard power.

Compared with those well-known directors, Xu Lin's current box office results are not inferior. He thought for a while and murmured:
"Busan..."
