Recently, I haven't had much of an itinerary, whether it's an individual group. No pop-ups // In addition to the Asian Tour, there is the recording of the new album and dance practice. Even if Sunny has a TV series schedule, it hasn't officially started filming yet. And all kinds of variety show advertisements have not been arranged for the time being, and now it is the rehearsal stage.

Such a regular life seems to have not been for a long time, although it is tiring, but the content is single. It's just practice, and they don't have to rush back and forth to the filming sites of various TV stations, which reminds them of their life as trainees. However, just after lunch, when they were about to continue back to the practice room, a phone call called them to the president's office. Such a move can't help but remind them that once upon a time, group participation in meetings was only available around the time before and after their debut.

As soon as they opened the door and entered, they didn't wait to say hello, and all the young members felt that the atmosphere was very wrong. Jin Jingmin, who has become the president, stood aside with a hesitant face and was at a loss, and it is estimated that the only people who created this atmosphere could only be the director Li Xiuman, who sat on the chair with a serious face, and the stinky boy who came back from filming "Runningman" and stood by the window.

Asking Kim Jingmin with his eyes, Kim Jingmin shook his head slightly at Kim Taeyeon and motioned for them to sit. In public, they are polite. did not be presumptuous because of the relationship between Han Mingjin and their "super friendship". Even now, they are all members of the Korean Women's Troupe, and they are sitting there in a proper manner at this time, waiting for someone to say something to them who are summoned.

Sure enough, Jin Jingmin couldn't even speak at this time. These are the only ones who can speak. Li Xiuman groaned for a while, and looked up at the young women: "Regarding your future development, Mingjin and I have some differences. So I called you to hear your opinions. The women bowed slightly. looked at Han Mingjin, who was standing with his back to them, and waited for Li Xiuman to speak.

"This album, although it was also created by Mingjin. But if it weren't in line with the company's plan for you, you wouldn't have been selected as the title song. With the success of your day tour, President Kim and I would like to use this album to strengthen your position in Asia and attack the European and American markets. Now I would like to ask each of you what you think. ”

When he was young, all the women looked surprised, looked at each other for a while, and didn't know how to speak. Kim Taeyeon is the captain in the end. When they need to make a voice, she is always the obligatory representative. Leaning over slightly, Kim Taeyeon opened her mouth and asked, "Teacher, does it mean that the name ......" Li Xiuman was stunned. Smiled and shook his head: "He's here, you ask him directly." ”

Before Kim Taeyeon could look at the window, a sneer came. Han Mingjin turned to look at Li Xiuman: "You haven't answered my question yet, and now you still ask me questions?" Leaning against the window, Han Mingjin hugged his shoulders: "Test the waters, isn't last year's "hollabackgirl" counted? What else do you need to try?"

Li Xiuman frowned and said: "Testing the waters is just a way to say, it's been almost a year since that English single." In the entertainment industry, a lot can happen in a year, and it's enough to forget a lot of things. A title song that is suitable for both the East and the West. Recording two versions to remind you of the existence of Europe and the United States, I don't understand what makes you scruples. ”

Han Mingjin raised his index finger with a serious expression: "Director Li Xiuman." You have to figure out one thing. There is never anything that is acceptable to both the East and the West. The Bible doesn't work, and neither does the Analects. Li Xiuman raised his head: "Hollywood blockbusters are marketing the world." The box office monopolizes the world. How can this be explained?"

Han Mingjin smiled and sat down next to Kim Taeyeon: "Talk to me about movies? Hollywood movies are only shot in the United States. All storylines never belong to the East or the West alone, and that's why they can market the world. Why is the western cowboy theme declining? How many have you seen such themes being introduced? Inclusiveness can feed back to people in all regions. It's been a long time since Chinese elements have been injected into Western films, and you can't see it just by focusing on the music world?"

Li Xiuman did not flinch: "But they have your backing, whether it is financial resources or works." Han Mingjin narrowed his smile and nodded: "It's rare, you still know that I am the key to promoting them to enter Europe and the United States." Then why don't you listen to my advice? It seems that I have more say than you in how to break into the European and American markets, and when to break into the European and American markets, right?"

Li Xiuman shook his head: "I don't think that using this album to just do some small temptations can conflict with your plan, and I have never planned to pull all the G to the United States for two or three years like Park Jin-young." Occasionally attend a show, and ...... "can you be said to be an international star in a stinky and shameless way?" What kind of program in a foreign country can you come back and brag about it if you have used the same performance venue as a real European and American superstar?"

Han Mingjin's face fell: "You have the face to do this, I can't afford to lose this person." Li Xiuman chuckled: "For them, I rarely see when you are not confident." Han Mingjin nodded: "It must be more than you." I've rarely seen you more stunned than I am. The entertainment tycoon who has been in the Korean entertainment industry for nearly 30 years and is shocked when he stomps his feet is a little disappointing. ”

Kim Taeyeon gently tugged Han Mingjin's arm: "Mingjin ......" Han Mingjin didn't have the anger to break free, just put his feet on the table and looked up at the roof of the shed. Li Xiuman didn't care about Han Mingjin's ridicule, and asked calmly: "Then can you tell me about your scruples, at least let me have a long insight into unfamiliar European and American cultures?"

Han Mingjin chuckled and shook his head: "No." Cast pearls before swine. There was a moment of silence as Sunny bit her lip and look at this and then at that, bowing her head and saying nothing. Jin Jingmin suddenly laughed dryly: "President, it's okay to let me have a long insight." I didn't have a long time as president, so I was given the opportunity to learn. ”

When they were young, the women experienced so much, and it was impossible for them to be shaken by the big and small scenes. However, it shouldn't always be such a stalemate at this time, Lin Yuna pulled him across Kim Taeyeon, Han Mingjin frowned and looked over, Lin Yuna glared at him fiercely, and pointed at sunny who bowed his head and was silent. Han Mingjin was stunned for a moment, and was silent for a while. sighed: "You just think it's just a temptation anyway, and there is also the bottom of last year's "Hollabackgirl", at best, it is nothing to gain, and it is impossible to lose anything." But I'll tell you. It's because of "Hollabackgirl". Now I can't let you go to Europe and the United States when you have less time. ”

Li Xiuman thought for a while and looked at him with a frown: "But I heard that you already have a plan to push them to attack Europe and the United States, and it is only in the near future." Han Mingjin's expression was strange: "I'm still young." In the near future, it may be a year or two. Tiffany couldn't help but laugh out loud. However, remembering the occasion at this time, he hurriedly covered his mouth and held back. But he was still slapped a few times by Sunny on the side.

Jin Jingmin's face was also a little embarrassed, but she couldn't help but look at Li Xiuman on the side. Li Xiuman's face alternated blue and red, but in the end he just smiled bitterly: "I also thought about the development of my youth, but I didn't expect you to hate you like this." You wish I had retired early, right?, then why did you invite me to come back?" Han Mingjin touched his nose. muttered softly, "It's not because of your ability to ...... you asked you to come back."

Seeing that all the other women were not kind to Sunny, who bowed his head and blushed slightly, Han Mingjin hurriedly waved his hand: "Don't talk nonsense with you." When I was young, I would definitely go to Europe and the United States, and I would definitely build them into international superstars. But not right now. They are still far from it. I went for three years, and I was laughed at by a small star when I was filming a "Twilight Zone" as the main character. This kind of cultural barrier can be broken if you have money and power? Or do you think that one or two members can speak English fluently and gain a foothold in the European and American markets? If your mentality and development model do not change, you will never succeed. It may be possible to use the old way in Asia, but in Europe and the United States, I guarantee that you are worse than Park Jin-young. And you still think of your youth as an assembly line idol, and people know who you are?"

Li Xiuman was noncommittal: "But I don't see any difference between you and me?" Or you can tell me about your plan. Han Mingjin shook his head: "I didn't mean to ridicule you. And you're more experienced than me, too. The only difference between us is that you are too opinionated. Use your own set to travel all over the world. ”

Han Mingjin stood up and walked to the office desk: "Why is 'Hollabackgirl' successful? The melody, lyrics, and uninhibited spirit of the song. It's all made just for them. To put it bluntly, it is to use their rice to cook and sell it to them. Blend into the environment. Adapt to the environment, and then change the environment. After living for so many years, I don't know you even if I don't talk about it. But you definitely don't believe it, if this song is sung by a singer in Europe and the United States, it may have become popular a long time ago. is much more brilliant than them, why there is such a difference, you will definitely not delve into it. ”

Picking up a bottle of water handed over by Xu Xian, Han Mingjin opened it and took a sip: "I wrote the title song of this album a long time ago, and I know better than you." Do you think I've written all the good songs? This is the one I don't like the most. Nondescript. Yes, with their popularity when they were young, they are now singing children's songs, and their sales will not be low. But this is to squander the achievements they have accumulated so hard. At the end of the day, they're singers, and it's the songs that really make them to the top. It doesn't matter once or twice, can you always keep trying like this? Can you afford to hurt?"

Li Xiuman was a little incredulous: "It's just a temptation, as for it?" Han Mingjin shook his head helplessly: "Really, you are embarrassed to be called a 'big stick' by the Korean music and entertainment industry." Let me put it this way, for at least three years in Asia, they can afford to toss and try. The popularity is there, and there are no scruples. But in the American market, who knows them? Without 200 percent of their efforts and works, not only will they not succeed, but on the contrary, they will put a stumbling block on their future path. I still took the initiative to put it on my own. Foreign singers themselves have to work harder than their locals, and the road to success is more difficult. You still want to test it, aren't you joking about your reputation?"

Inadvertently looking at the faces of the young women, Han Mingjin's expression was shocked, but he was a little abrupt: "You also think I'm alarmist, don't you? Do you think I'm making a fuss? Do you think it's just a temptation that isn't as serious as you think?" Kim Taeyeon subconsciously wanted to say something, but Tiffany narrowed her eyes: "No, you can do what you say, listen to you." ”

Jin Jingmin frowned and stared at Tiffany, and with a snap, a water bottle was thrown at her feet. Jin Jingmin screamed softly, and looked up to see Han Mingjin's smiling face. Pouted, turned his face away and stopped talking. Walked up to the women and sat down between Tiffany and Jessica. Holding her in the face and snapping it was a mouthful, causing Tiffany to giggle.

For some reason, the atmosphere was inexplicably relaxed. In addition to Lin Yun'er's eyes, and Han Mingjin's smiling expression. (To be continued.) )
