Chapter 247: The Mystery Revealed
Walking out of SuperJunior's practice room, looking at Kim Hee-cheol who was silently bowing his head, Kim Min-wook wanted to say something, but he hesitated for a long time and still didn't say anything.
He knows very well that every time he sees him, Kim Hee-cheol's affection always becomes low easily.
Is it because Kim Hee-cheol is not a member of SJ-M, so Kim Min-wook, who is in charge of the Celestial Empire market, is not familiar with him?
In fact, Kim Hee-cheol participated in the filming of a TV series called "Melody of Youth" in the mainland last year, during which Kim Min-wook was urgently transferred by the company to his side as a part-time translator's agent.
Because of this series, the two of them have been in a shadow-to-shadow relationship for a long time, how can they be strange?
But the problem is that Kim Min-wook knows better than anyone that the drama "Melody of Youth" is actually one of the topics that Kim Hee-cheol is most reluctant to be touched by others.
The reason is very simple, Jin Xiche's closest relative of the Celestial Empire - Han Geng.
The drama was originally planned to be filmed in early 2009, and at the earliest, the superjunior member who was scheduled to appear in a certain role was Han Geng, not Kim Hee-cheol. Later, the script was overhauled, which was delayed for a long time, and when it was put on the agenda again, the actor of the role had been replaced by Kim Hee-cheol.
Kim Hee-cheol himself didn't know about it, but Kim Min-wook knew very well that the company did make some moves in the role change.
As a native of the Celestial Empire, Han Geng has no chance to film in South Korea, and it is impossible for the company to invest resources in this area on him.
There are many people who take the acting route of SuperJunior, such as Kim Ki-beom, who has the same name as the head of the agent's office, such as Choi Siwon, and Kim Hee-cheol in front of him.
Kim Ki-beom and Choi Si-won will not mention it first. Excluding cameos, there have been as many as five or six TV series in which Kim Hee-cheol has played an important role so far.
So, how can the film and television drama resources in South Korea get Han Geng's turn?
Although Han Geng also has acting ambitions and aspires to become an actor, only film and television dramas of the Celestial Empire can have his chance.
In 2008, Han Geng starred in his debut film "Youth Stage", originally "Youth Melody" was his second chance, but he missed it due to the company's behind-the-scenes operation.
A few months later, Han Geng quit the group and took the company to court......
Han Geng's choice is a big explosion after his many differences with the brokerage company have accumulated together, and the turmoil of "Melody of Youth" is certainly not the only reason, but it is difficult to say how much weight it occupies in all the reasons.
When the drama "Melody of Youth" was officially launched, this lawsuit had been fought for more than half a year.
As Han Geng's closest relative, it is conceivable how strong Jin Xiche's resistance to participating in this drama is. Although he still completed his role very seriously and dutifully out of professionalism, Kim Min-wook knows very well how much this kid hates the topic of this drama.
Besides, even if Kim Hee-cheol himself doesn't mind this topic, Kim Min-wook doesn't know what to say. In this turmoil, Han Geng fought for his career, which is not wrong; Kim Hee-cheol is an innocent person who is sandwiched between the company and his closest relatives, and it is naturally not wrong; as an economic company operating in the entertainment business, it is also natural to design a development path for its artists and make corresponding arrangements, so there is nothing wrong with it.
So what's the problem? Kim Min-wook didn't know, and he was confused.
So, from the practice room of Superjunior to the reception room next to Kim Yeon-jung's office, Kim Min-wook and Kim Hee-cheol both remained silent for a long time.
At the door of the meeting place agreed with Duan Shanshan yesterday, Kim Hee-cheol stopped and took a few deep breaths to adjust his mood of remembering those unpleasant memories because of seeing Kim Min-wook. Kim Min-wook silently patted him on the shoulder.
Before stepping into the door, Kim Hee-cheol's face was already blooming with a smile as dazzling as the sun.
"Anihasio, I'm Heechol from Superjunior, and this is our agent, Brother Minxu. ”
Kim Hee-cheol smiled and bowed to the three men and one woman in the room with a smile, first introducing himself, and then introducing Kim Min-wook.
Duan Shanshan also introduced his colleagues one by one.
Jin Xiche shook hands one by one and nodded in greeting, and his figure was very low. His narcissistic and stinky side is usually only shown in front of familiar people. For strangers outside the circle, the attitude has always been very modest and friendly.
Especially when facing Liu Kewei, he enthusiastically held Liu Kewei's right hand with both hands and shook it vigorously a few times.
"I've heard Taeyeon say before that you've always been very supportive of their combination, thank you, it's a pleasure to meet you!"
The two beautiful men stood face to face, and they felt that the light in the room was much brighter.
is worthy of being a long-term radio DJ and program MC, Jin Xiche first praised Liu Kewei, and then praised Che Guanglong and Ruoying for being very right, and finally affirmed Duan Shanshan's image today, and even used the idiom "impressive" (Korean idiom, that is, impressive).
In a few words, everyone present was praised without omission, and won a lot of favor from those in the threesome.
"Xi Chexi, why did you let us come over, you still have to wear formal clothes, you can always tell us now, right?" It was easy to wait for Jin Xiche's compliment to end, and Duan Shanshan couldn't wait to ask.
This stuffy gourd has been buried for most of the day, it's time to reveal, right?
"Now, that's right, Brother Min Xu said that there is an important person in our company who wants to meet you, so let me invite you. As for the reason for wearing formal clothes, today there is an agent brother in the company who is going to get married, and the company's artists will basically be there, you know, this is a rare opportunity! ”
It turned out that this was the case, Liu Kewei and the others looked at each other, and then they understood.
Jin Xiche took out a few blank envelopes from the pocket of his suit and handed them to Liu Kewei and the others: "I have prepared the gift money for you, just fill in your name." ”
"Ah, that's embarrassing......"
Wakazakura hurriedly spoke humbly, and the other three also handed back the envelope as soon as possible.
"It's okay, guys. Korean wedding gifts are not the same as those of the Celestial Empire, they are usually symbolic, but they are not very much. Kim Min-wook, who has a deeper understanding of the social customs of the Celestial Empire, said with a smile.
What he said is actually right, in Korean weddings, guests generally pack a gift of about 50,000 won, which is equivalent to more than 200 yuan. The sum of four people is only 200,000 won, what can be calculated? Any meal at a restaurant may cost a little more than that.
"Even then, there's no reason for Shitchy to pay for us, after all, we were invited to dinner. Liu Kewei opened the pocket of the envelope with his index finger and thumb, looked at it, took out his wallet, drew four 50,000 won bills, and handed them back to Kim Hee-cheol.
Jin Xiche didn't insist on reluctance, he laughed and accepted the 200,000.
"I'm sorry, which one of you wants to see us?" Seeing that Duan Shanshan and Liu Kewei talked for a long time, Jin Xiche didn't give the most critical answer, and Che Guanglong couldn't stand it and interjected.
Shrugging his shoulders and making an innocent and dazed expression, Jin Xiche shook his head: "Seriously, I don't know, Brother Min Xu didn't tell me, I don't believe you asked him!"
Everyone's eyes fell on Kim Min-wook again.
"I can only tell you that it is a big man in our company. But who is it, because the other party didn't allow me to leak it, so I can't say now, Mia Nada!"
The general tone of being an agent is very tight, if you don't want to say one thing, no matter how others ask, you will definitely not be able to ask, otherwise you should have been fired a long time ago. What's more, Kim Min-wook has been an agent for nine years.
So no matter how the threesome tried to knock on the side, they didn't ask in the end.
The six of them chatted casually for a while, and suddenly heard a commotion in the corridor outside, Kim Min-wook raised his left wrist to look at the time of his watch, and said that it was almost time to go.
So the six of them took the elevator down to the parking lot, and along the way, whether it was in the corridor or in the elevator, or in the parking lot, there were many people, a small number of them were strange or familiar artists, and most of them should be employees of S.M.
Strangely, men are almost exclusively dressed in suits, but women dress casually. Among the few people I saw on the road, Tiffany and Xiuying were wearing matching short-sleeved tops and short skirts, Krystal was wearing a neutral hunting jacket and long pants and boots, and the most exaggerated was Hyoyeon, who was once complained about by Xiuying as a "fashion terrorist" on the show, she actually came directly wearing a dark red sweater and black practice pants, which looked more like she was going to the practice room or gym......
When I saw the threesome, a few people nodded with a smile, because there were too many people in the parking lot, so they didn't deliberately come over to say hello.
When she passed by Xu Xian, Duan Shanshan nodded to her and said, "Thank you." ”
"What?" Xu Xian looked at in amazement.
"Thank you for reminding us to wear formal clothes!" Duan Shanshan said sincerely.
It's a stressful thing to be caught in a bunch of formal male idols whose appearance is far above average, and if you don't pay attention to your clothes, you will be contrasted like a scavenger or a homeless man in minutes......
No wonder today even Kim Jong-bae, who has always been unkempt, is wearing a suit.
"Now, you're welcome, Duan Planning, this suit suits you very well. Xu Xian couldn't help but smile and said seriously, then waved his hand and turned around and got into the nanny car he was riding in.
The threesome and Kim Hee-cheol got into the business car driven by Kim Min-wook, and in the blink of an eye, twenty or thirty various nanny cars, commercial cars and sedans lined up in a convoy and drove out of the parking lot of the S.M. company one after another.
"I'm not wrong, if you don't come today, you will definitely regret it!" Kim Hee-cheol, who was sitting in the co-pilot's seat, turned around and said triumphantly, "Even if it is our company's family concert, there are definitely not as many artists as there are today!"
P.S. This is the first update of the day.
