Chapter 29: Gilded America

On June 28, Jiang Jingmei finally chose a new building for SL Entertainment, and when Zhang Wenli was not officially inaugurated, all the people of SL Entertainment moved and moved to a new building. The newly moved building has a total of seven floors, and all properties belong to SL Entertainment, and Li Shenglin can plan for it independently.

Li Shenglin arranged the cafeteria on the third floor, the practice room on the second floor, and some other facilities scattered on different floors. Li Shenglin also arranged his office on the top floor of the 7th floor, the sofa in the office was against the window, the left corner opposite the sofa was the office door, and on the right was Li Shenglin's desk, on which was placed President Li Shenglin's special computer.

In July, Zhang Wenli's parents came to South Korea, Li Shenglin personally went downstairs to receive Zhang Wenli's father, which was a little different from what he imagined, Zhang Wenli's father looked much younger than Bai Xiangyan when he first met, and he was not arrogant as he imagined.

Li Shenglin hurriedly stretched out another hand, Zhang Wenli's father is not his direct subordinate, as a secretary, Zhang Wenli will also be his personal figure in the future, and he has no face to put on a stand against her father.

Zhang Wenli took her father to settle down, rested for a day, and on the third day, Zhang Wenli's father officially appeared in the canteen of the new SL Entertainment Building.

Lao Zhang does not know Korean, the language barrier can not even buy vegetables, fortunately, the company also has Chinese students to serve as the artist's Chinese teacher, Lao Zhang recruited a 20-year-old handy assistant, every day to ask for the name of the dish will find international students to help write out, what dishes need to buy will also find international students to write on a card to the assistant to do, in his spare time Lao Zhang will also teach him some dishes in Chinese.

After Myth joined SL Entertainment, Li Shenglin, who had nothing to do, went to JUNJIN's practice room to hang out, SL Entertainment now has no trainees, and there are many practice rooms after moving to a new building, Myth has a small practice room for each person, and there is a medium-sized practice room for Myth Six people to rehearse the formation.

If you add the backup dancers, the new building will have three large public practice rooms, which will be used by whoever needs them in the future. Li Shenglin went to JUNJIN's practice room to learn dance almost systematically, and most of the dance teachers in the company were women, and Li Shenglin was a little unable to wipe his face, so he found the mythical dance director JUNJIN to get close.

JUNJIN, this kid is a little crazy when he mentions dancing, and after playing music, he dances very highly, and Li Shenglin can't keep up with his rhythm at all. Li Shenglin asked him to dance a little slower, although the movements were slowed down a lot, but Li Shenglin, who was not familiar with dance, still couldn't learn, Li Shenglin asked him to do simple movements, and wanted to learn from scratch, but this kid had little patience.

Damn, the next day Li Shenglin went to Kim Jongmin to study. Kim Jong-min is not a very good teacher, sometimes he stumbles in his speech, his expression is unclear, and his reaction is a little slower, but relatively speaking, Kim Jong-min is much more patient than JUNJIN. Kim Jong-min demonstrated a one-handed handstand to Lee Seung-rim with a figure-7 movement on his legs, and Kim Jong-min's thinking dismantled the dance into basic movements to explain the key points, but he took the trouble to do it over and over again until Lee Seung-rim learned it.

In the afternoon, Lee Min-woo came to Kim Jong-min's practice room, he heard Junjin say that Lee Seung-rim asked him to learn dance the day before, and heard that Lee Seung-rim was in Kim Jong-min's practice room, he came to see how Lee Seung-rim was taught by Kim Jong-min, and when he saw Lee Min-woo, Lee Seung-rim just said hello and continued to learn the next move from Kim Jong-min.

Li Shenglin has no dance foundation, but his physical fitness is not to say, he can learn it a few times when he holds the ground with one hand and puts his feet in a figure 7 shape, and the difficulty of this movement lies in the strength of his arms and the coordination of his body muscles, which is not a problem for Li Shenglin.

Li Minyu stood next to him for a while and understood the situation, if Li Shenglin wants to learn two movements to be handsome, Kim Jongmin is enough to do it, and Li Shenglin wants to learn more or really learn dance, and he also needs a better teacher.

During the break, Coco Li picked up two bottles of water and walked over, "Thank you." Li Shenglin sat on the ground and raised his hand to take the water handed over by Li Minyu and thanked him.

"Katsubayashi XI: If you want to learn dance, I can teach you if I have time. Coco Li recommended herself.

"Oh, do you have time to teach me?" Li Shenglin raised his head to look at him, to be honest, after studying with JUNJIN, Li Shenglin didn't expect much from the myth.

"If you want to learn, I can teach you if you don't have a trip. Li Minyu said with a smile.

"Alright, let's talk to each other in plain language. I'll call you Brother Minyu, and you can just call me Shenglin. LEE SEUNG-RIM DIDN'T REFUSE LI MINYU'S KINDNESS, HE CAME TO HIM BECAUSE HE CAME TO KIM JONGMIN TO LEARN DANCE AND GUESSED WHAT JUNJIN'S VIRTUES WERE, AND THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN HIS BLUNT REFUSAL AND MYTHOLOGY FROZE.

After that, it was Li Minyu and Kim Jong-min who taught Lee Shenglin a student together, and Lee Min-woo was indeed a good teacher, and sometimes he and Kim Jong-min also did some two-person actions to show each other to Li Shenglin. LI SHENGLIN ALSO FOUND THAT COCO LEE'S DANCING STRENGTH IS NO LESS THAN JUNJIN, AND HIS CONSCIOUSNESS IS MANY TIMES HIGHER THAN THAT OF JUNJIN WHO DANCES SOLO.

After Shinhwa left SM Company, he handed over the choreography work to JUNJIN, and it seems that Lee Minyu should also take the initiative, and in order to maintain the group, individual members of Shinhwa really sacrificed a lot.

……

Generally speaking, in order to maintain popularity, at this time, Lee Hyo-ri should release a follow-up song to the album (the follow-up song refers to the second title song that was released after the album was released after the first title song was released), and Lee Seung-rim didn't think so.

In his previous life, Lee Hyori's popularity was no worse than it is now, so how could DSP not choose a very high-level follow-up song while the iron was hot? Although there was only one voice in the whole of 2003, the final result ended regretfully, at least it was a pity for Lee Hyori. If Li Shenglin wants to change what is destined to happen this time, then he can only find another way.

As far as South Korea is concerned, after World War II, South Korea's military power was basically under the control of the United States, and the United States built military bases in South Korea and RB, and the huge annual military expenditure was borne by the two countries.

That's right, Lee's breakthrough point is in the United States. Thinking about the future development of Lee Hyori, Lee prepared an English single "toxic", which peaked at No. 9 on the US Billboard Hot 100 Singles Chart, and was Britney's fourth single to break into the top 10 of the chart, and won the music charts in Canada, Hungary, Ireland, the United Kingdom, Norway, and Sweden.

But the music market in Europe and the United States is more exclusive, and an Asian face needs to double down on the effort to achieve the same results as Britney. After the song was completed, Li Shenglin always felt uncertain, and wanted to enter the billboard charts with the popularity of a single song, which had to pin his hopes on God and be reborn, Li Shenglin didn't want to bet on luck on such a big thing.

After thinking about it, Lee Seung-rim thought about it and decided to add two other very famous Britney songs to Lee Hyori "... Baby one more time" and "My Prerogative", so that Lee Hyo-ri can be more sure of getting good results.

Thinking of it, Lee Seung-rim announced that Lee Hyori is not learning Chinese for the time being, but strengthening English oral training, as an artist, almost all English training will be there before debut, and Lee Hyori is the same, but the level of English required by the album is slightly different. Lee Seung-rin wrote out the lyrics of the three songs, focusing on strengthening the training of the lyrics, and the pronunciation should not have a Korean accent, which is 100% close to pure English.

In mid-July, Lee Hyori's popularity faded a little, and Lee Seung-rim's debut album "It's My Time" for Chae Yeon was officially released, with the title song "Dangerous Performance".

When filming the MV, according to the original setting, Chae Yeon was almost in a vacuum, ten times bolder than Lee Hyori's MV. As a composer, Lee Seung Lin has the right to participate in the filming of the MV, but he really couldn't stand it, so he found a conservative dress for Chae Yeon to change into.

After the release of the MV, Chae Yeon has gathered some popularity with her bold performance, and it seems that the changes made by Lee Seung Lin have not affected anything.

In August, Lee Hyo-ri took three songs prepared for her by Lee Seung-rim and stepped on a plane to the United States, accompanied by Baek Sang-yan, an important figure of the company, to explore the American market. Before Lee Hyori left, Lee Seung-rim personally sent her to the car at the company, and before getting into the car, Lee Hyori walked up to Lee Seung-rim and said, "Aren't you going to the United States together?" Lee Seung-rim looked up at her, and could see the expectation in her eyes, "I have to stay in South Korea and sit in charge personally." "Oh. Lee Hyo-ri couldn't hide the disappointment in his heart. "Then I'm leaving. ”

Li Shenglin saw her like this, couldn't help but hug her directly, and whispered in her ear, "I really can't leave South Korea, you have to remember that our goal this year is not in the United States, going to the United States is just gilding, I will continue to promote you in South Korea to maintain popularity, and we will strive to achieve unprecedented honor for you at the end of the year." Lee Hyo-ri immediately smiled and went to the United States.

Lee used Shi Wencheng's connections to contact Sony's headquarters through Sony Music's president in China, and Lee Hyori signed a contract with Sony Columbia in the United States.

After a month of recording, shooting the MV, Lee Hyori's English mini album was completed on September 2 and is scheduled to be released in the United States on September 15. Regarding the issue of the sharing of the album, Lee Seung-rim's instructions to Baek Sang-yan were not to worry about small profits with Sony, and to ask Sony to really work hard to increase the popularity of Lee Hyo-ri's publicity, Sony is not a fool, I believe that Sony will definitely do its best to promote it after getting a rich share.

Baek Sang-yan's mission to the United States this time is not only to cooperate with Lee Hyo-ri's publicity, but the most important point is to establish an office in the United States.
