Episode 725: An Unsolvable Paradox
After the second round of auditions for "Introduction to Architecture", Li Chengman didn't get the results at the time, and he didn't even receive a call from the crew after waiting for three days, and the news was leaked somehow, so everyone up and down the entire S.M began to look at the girls with strange eyes, and there was naturally no shortage of rumors among the trainees, and even the senior management of S.M began to have some strange remarks.

"Director Xiyin, haven't the results of Xu Xian's audition come out yet?" Han Shimin sat opposite Lin Xiyin and asked with concern.
Lin Xiyin shook his head and said, "No." ”
Han Shimin frowned, glanced at Lin Xiyin, and was a little puzzled in his heart, so he asked tentatively, "Does Director Xiyi know?"
"Xiyi knows that he has personally called Director Li Yongzhou to ask about IUM, but ......" Lin Xiyin suddenly paused.
"But what?" Han Shimin hurriedly asked.
"But ......" Lin Xiyin showed a distressed look, "Xiyi said that Director Li Yongzhou is now stuck in a difficult choice, and he, as Xu Xian's acting teacher, is not good to put more beaks, so as not to be said to be manipulating behind the scenes......"
Han Shimin said, "Difficulty in choosing, behind-the-scenes manipulation, what's the situation?"
Lin Xiyin said with a wry smile: "Director Li Yongzhou NIM was very interested in Xu Xian at the beginning, but a JYP newcomer suddenly appeared during the first audition, which is actually very suitable for the role, after the second round of auditions, the only thing left is this JYP newcomer and Xu Xian, and these two children can be said to be Chunlan Qiuju, each good at winning, and provided two completely different versions of Yang Ruiyan for Li Yongzhou to direct IM, so he is also having a headache now who to choose." ”
"JYP's newcomer?" Han Shimin rubbed his fingers unconsciously, "Is it the kid named Xiuzhi?"
Lin Xiyin looked at Han Shimin in surprise, "Eh, President Shimin knows about her?"
Han Shimin sighed, nodded and said: "The self-made drama cooperated by JYP and KEYEAST and LOEN, but at the beginning of the year, it slapped the face of this self-made drama, how could I not know ......"
Lin Xiyin suddenly realized, patted his forehead and said: "Ah, I remembered when you said this, Director Li Xiuman also held a countermeasure seminar for this matter, right? It's just that I was busy preparing for the annual general meeting of shareholders at the time, so I asked you to attend, and then I didn't hear anything new, so I forgot about it." ”
Han Shimin nodded again helplessly and said, "Nei, I went to this countermeasure seminar at the time, and they seemed to have the idea of inviting Xiyi to star in the next work, but this part can't come up with any decent scripts at all, so I ignored their words." Moreover, even if there is a decent script on the part of the main department, it is impossible to shoot it again this year, firstly, Changmin and Yoonho have proven that they have no acting talent, secondly, SJ did not appear in front of the public too often in the first half of this year, thirdly, Girls' Generation's itinerary this year is almost full, and it is impossible to act, and fourthly, the main department cannot find partners like KEYEAST and LOEN, and it is impossible for us to follow the rhythm of our opponents, so in the end, Director Lee so-man decided not to restart the self-made drama plan for the time being. ”
Lin Xiyin sneered silently in her heart while listening to Han Shimin with a coffee cup, and now Lin Xiyin, Li Xiuman, and Jin Yingmin's situation in the company happened to be the same as when she first entered the company. In the past, she worked hard, couldn't make any mistakes, and had to make good results to ensure her right to speak, but now she is sitting firmly in Diaoyutai, watching Li Xiuman and Jin Yingmin working hard under the stage, and giving a candy to eat when the drum is done, and she doesn't need to come forward in person if she doesn't make a good move, naturally some people make difficulties, for example, at this year's annual general meeting of shareholders, some directors took the rotten results of "Paradise Ranch" to play a role, and criticized Jin Yingmin and Li Xiuman enough.
S.M is well-known for his eye-catching in both self-made dramas and film and television dramas for its artists, but in the selection of film and television dramas, Yuna's "You Are My Destiny" is also used to cover up the shame, and self-made dramas are completely a big hole. In the early years, "Heading to the Earth" was not to mention the streets, and last year there was a "Paradise Ranch" that was produced first and then broadcast, starring Changmin and Lee Yeon-hee, known as a big production with six months of shooting and six months of post-production, which was broadcast on SBS on January 24, 2011, and the highest average rating of the 16 episodes of the whole drama was only worthy of doubles, and "DREAM. "HIGH" is also 16 episodes, and the lowest average rating is 0.3 percentage points higher than the highest of "Paradise Ranch".
Lee so-man and Kim Young-min are now facing a rather embarrassing situation, if they want to turn back the situation in the S.M headquarters, they must create and control a new profit point, so as to win over more directors to their side, but the new profit point is not something that can be found by patting their heads. S.M, as the largest and most mature idol agency in South Korea, has already discovered all the profit points that can be found in idols, and it is almost impossible to innovate again, so it can only pick out the most potential part of the original non-profit points and deepen it, so the self-made drama has re-entered the eyes of Lee so-man and Kim Young-min, and "Paradise Ranch" is the result of their self-reliance on putting aside C&C.
In fact, it's not right to say that she is self-reliant, C&C didn't completely ignore S.M's self-made drama, isn't Lee Yun-hee an artist of C&C now, S.M said that she wanted her to star in C&C, but S.M really has a negative IQ in picking scripts, so in the end it was a failure. However, because C&C generously let Lee Yun-hee come to help, Lee so-man and Kim Young-min saw a glimmer of hope again, since C&C did not stand idly by, it means that the Zheng sisters and brothers did not plan to engage in internal friction, so they hit Zheng Xiyi with the idea again.
It's just that S.M, as the parent company, doesn't have much binding force on C&C, after all, C&C's largest shareholder is Zheng Xiyi, so if you want to pull him to S.M's self-made drama, S.M can only vote scripts to C& like other production companies. C let Zheng Xiyi choose by himself, but in terms of S.M's vision of choosing the script, Li Xiuman didn't have the courage to vote the script to C&C, so he pulled Han Shimin to open this so-called countermeasure seminar, planning to take a side detour to see if he could attract Zheng Xiyi or Lin Xiyin's attention, but the final result was obviously not what they expected.
Of course, there is another way to let Zheng Xiyi star in S.M's self-made drama, that is, Li Xiuman and S.M teamed up to overwhelm Zheng Xiyi in the C&C Council with 51% of the equity and forced him to star, but Li Xiuman and Zheng's siblings control the equity of S.M and C&C is you have me, I have you, Li Xiuman dares to forcibly promote C& C Council Resolution, Lin Xiyin can also forcibly oppose it in the S.M Council, which will only turn into infighting in the end, and doing so is tantamount to completely losing face, and the consequences will only be worse.
If it really breaks up, it's nothing, Li Xiuman is afraid that the Zheng sisters and brothers will be ruthless, and simply become the largest individual shareholder of S.M in one fell swoop, then S.M will have to change his surname, so Li Xiuman can only use the countermeasure seminar to probe the tone of the Zheng sisters and brothers, and see that they don't care at all, so he has no choice but to do it.
Han Shimin looked at Lin Xiyin's face, and the corners of his mouth were slightly sneering, of course he also understood the thoughts of Li Xiuman and Jin Yingmin, and he laughed because these two people didn't understand at all, Lin Xiyin and Zheng Xiyi never had any idea of suppressing internal friction, because they didn't need it at all.
If Lee so-man and Kim Young-min can really come up with a good script, Zheng Xiyi may not agree to act, but with S.M's current film and television resources, even if there is a good script and Zheng Xiyi agrees to act, which artist in this part can play with Zheng Xiyi?
The actress who can handle the S.M headquarters is Yun'er, and if you barely count Yoo-ri, Xiu-young, Seo Hyun, Shirley and Krystal, the whole bundle is not enough for Zheng Xiyi to kill in one eye!
Many times the media will say "so-and-so actor has supported a drama/film by himself", but in fact, this kind of words are just a fig leaf, who has ever seen a popular TV series or movie where an actor plays well and other actors are all scum?
Unless S.M signs an actress with outstanding acting skills, or even if Zheng Xiyi agrees to act, S.M can't come up with the available people to match Zheng Xiyi, and when it comes to signing actresses, which powerful actress would be blind enough not to sign a contract with C&C, but run to sign a contract with S.M?
If the actor is still a female artist under C&C in the end, then it has nothing to do with S.M, what is it called S.M's self-made drama!
So this matter is just an unsolvable paradox, Li Xiuman and Kim Young-min wishfully wanted to pull Zheng Xiyi into the water, but they never thought that their own family would not have such a big temple to put this Bodhisattva......
Shaking his head slightly, leaving the ridiculous jokes behind, Han Shimin returned to the original topic, "Is Xiyi worried that his intercession for Xu Xian will attract any bad remarks? This shouldn't matter, isn't it like this in the circle? Other companies want their own artists to win the role, what is it to intercede, and financial transactions are very normal." ”
Lin Xiyin put down the coffee cup, shrugged his shoulders and said, "Has the C&C under the leadership of President Semin made a financial deal for the characters?"
Han Shimin hurriedly shook his head and said with a smile: "Of course not, and we don't need it at all, everyone is here to beg Xiyi to read the script, and they have to be the ones who want to trade for money." ”
A strange light flashed in Lin Xiyin's eyes, and he whispered, "Aren't there other artists? Li Yunxi and Gao Yala don't seem to have so many resources, right?"
Han Shimin's heart moved, straightened his waist and said: "C&C now has a total of four artists, Xiyi naturally needless to say, Zhun Ji is serving now, even if he comes back from the army, he doesn't need to engage in that set of things." As for Yun Xi and Yara, I think their acting skills have too much of an idol flavor, so they still have to hone and hone their skills, and they can occasionally play supporting roles such as three women and four women with Xiyi's resources, although they are not many important roles, but they are enough. After all, actors rely on strength to eat, and if you want to rely on your face, it is better not to choose this path and become IDOL, and they also agreed with my arrangement, so there are no complaints. ”
Lin Xiyin nodded, and said pointedly: "Xiyi's expectations for Xu Xian are like President Semin's expectations for Yun Xi and Yala, strength is the most important, as for the role...... Even if you can't get the role of "Introduction to Architecture", it's nothing, with Xiyi, are you afraid that you won't have a chance?"
Han Shimin was completely stunned, looking at Lin Xiyin blankly, and couldn't help but think of Xu Xian's appearance in his mind, and a certain thought came like a volcanic eruption!
