Chapter Ninety-Three: The Circle

It was close to eleven o'clock in the evening when he returned home from the party, and when he opened the door and saw a pair of red sneakers at the entrance, Li Zheng subconsciously showed a gentle smile on his face.

walked into the living room, and sure enough, I saw Li Yunxi's figure on the sofa.

Seeing Li Yunxi lying on the sofa and falling asleep, Li Zheng walked into the bedroom lightly and took out a thin blanket to cover her.

After doing these things, Li Zheng went to the bathroom to wash briefly, then returned to the living room with a book, sat down on the single sofa next to Li Yunxi, and quietly flipped through it.

I don't know how long it has been, Li Zheng looked away from the book and gently rubbed the corners of his eyes.

The moment he put down his hand, he opened his eyes, and suddenly saw Li Yunxi lying on the sofa with his eyes open, staring at him quietly, and seeing that Li Yunxi had woken up, Li Zhengwen smiled: "When did you wake up?" ”

Li Yunxi said: "Seeing that you were fascinated by reading books, I didn't say anything. As he spoke, he glanced at the cover of the book again, "Chinese book." I haven't seen this in your bookcase before, when did you buy it? By the way, what do the three Chinese characters on the cover read? I only know the first 'three' character. ”

Li Zheng picked up the book, put the cover directly at Li Yunxi, pointed to the Chinese characters on the cover and said with a smile: "These three characters read 'Three Kingdoms', which is a history book that introduces ancient China. When I graduated from college last year and went to BJ with my friend to watch the Olympics, I met a friend in China, and this book was one of the Chinese books that that friend mailed me some time ago. ”

"Friends?"

Li Yunxi asked, "Do you know any friends in China?"

Li Zheng couldn't help but smile when he heard this: "Why can't I know one or two Chinese friends?"

"It's not. ”

Li Yunxi shook his head and said, "I mean, if your Chinese friend can send you a book, you must have a good relationship." After finishing speaking, he seemed to feel that his words were a little boring, so he hurriedly changed the topic and asked, "By the way, what is this book about?"

"It is about the history of the characters of the Three Kingdoms period at the end of the Han Dynasty in ancient China, mainly introducing the founding monarchs and heroes of the three countries of Wei, Shu and Wu, such as the historical novel "Romance of the Three Kingdoms" that we are usually familiar with......

A brief introduction, seeing that Li Yunxi's eyes were rolling wildly, and he didn't listen to it at all, Li Zheng couldn't help shaking his head and smiling, and didn't say more: "By the way, didn't you say last time that S.M Company was going to invest in the production of one or two TV series?

"Listening to Yuan Zhe oppa, the project has basically been decided. ”

Li Yunxi said: "Recently, there seem to be a few members of TVXQ who disagree with the company, so in order to stabilize the members, the company has now decided to produce a TV series in the near future, originally wanted me to be the heroine, but after I refused, I heard Yuan Zhe OPPA say that it has now been confirmed that Gao Yala will be the role." ”

"TVXQ?"

Li Zheng groaned slightly, shook his head, and said, "It seems that TVXQ is not far from disbanding. ”

Li Yunxi was surprised: "Disband? How is it possible? They are so popular now, how can the company disband them?"

Li Zheng shook his head and said with a smile: "Once there is a conflict between personal interests and corporate interests, it will inevitably end in a compromise between one party. With Chairman Lee so-man's character, he will definitely not be the one who compromises, but TVXQ's current status is no longer when he first debuted.

When I first debuted and didn't become famous, even if the interests of the members were damaged, in order to become popular, the company naturally said whatever it wanted, but now that it is popular, its status has changed, and its psychology has changed, so it is natural to pursue more personal interests.

If one side wants to oppress and exploit, the other side wants to resist and profit, the interests of both sides are different, and the contradictions cannot be reconciled, then the final result is nothing more than only one. ”

After a slight pause, Li Zheng said again: "Listen to what you say, the company needs to stabilize its members." Among them, Zheng Yunhao's personality is the most calm and peaceful, and he must not be the one who has conflicts with the company. He's the captain.,I've always been obedient.,His popularity is also very high among the members of the group.,Since S.M Company wants to produce a TV series in order to stabilize the members.,Presumably the chance of him being the leading actor should be greater.。 ”

said that he glanced at Li Yunxi, and said: "You are right to reject the heroine of this TV series."

Whether a TV series can be successful or not, although the screenwriter, director, and production team account for a large part of the factors, the choice of the main creative actor is equally important. Although I don't know what Jung Yoon-ho's acting skills are, he has been developing as a singer before, and this identity itself will create a sense of distrust among the audience.

Secondly, TVXQ's schedule has always been full, and as a member of TVXQ, he will not have much time to practice acting. Although this alone cannot conclude that he is not good at acting, in terms of probability, it is less likely that he is an acting genius.

When I was in S.M before, I also had contact with him, and I trained together in the company's acting class, judging from my past experience, unless he deliberately hid his acting talent, his talent in acting is only average.

Again, there is the issue of circles.

The Korean entertainment industry is made up of circles.

A big circle of film and television, a big circle of songs, and a big circle of variety shows. There are also subdivisions in this circle, such as the film and television circle, which can be subdivided into the film circle, TV circle, director circle, screenwriter circle, actor circle and so on. People in each circle have different statuses according to their abilities, influence, and popularity, and they are both opposed to each other and cooperate.

In the same circle, they fight and compete with each other, but in the face of the challenges of different circles, they cooperate as a group.

S.M Company is a leader in the music industry, but if it wants to step into the film and television industry and expand its sphere of influence, it will inevitably encounter layers of obstacles, and will be collectively boycotted by the film and television industry, and hindered in many ways.

The production of a TV series is just the beginning, and the follow-up publicity and word-of-mouth marketing are the key.

If it is a TV series produced by the film and television industry itself, even if the ratings are average, there will be restraint in the evaluation. But if it is outside the film and television industry, it is naturally how harsh and how to evaluate. These reviews, in turn, can mislead viewers and reduce viewership. This is another downside.

Therefore, although this TV series of S.M has not yet been produced, comprehensive analysis shows that the probability of failure is far greater than success. ”

Li Yunxi suddenly asked, "Is this why you didn't sign a contract with S.M Company after returning to China?"

Li Zheng glanced at Li Yunxi and nodded: "S.M company is very influential in the music industry, but in the film and television industry, it can indeed only be regarded as a third-rate level. Of course, in addition to this aspect, my personality is also part of the reason. You also know President Li Xiuman's style of doing things, he has a great desire for power, is arbitrary, and does not tolerate opposition from others. I have my own plan for doing things, I don't like to let others interfere, and I cooperate with him, and there are differences between us that cannot be reconciled. ”

Li Yunxi asked, "Just like TVXQ?"

Li Zheng shook his head and nodded again: "They are a conflict of interests, and I am a battle of lines, which are different but similar. ”

Li Yunxi suddenly asked, "Then who do you think is right and who is wrong between TVXQ and the company? If it is you, how do you choose?"

Glancing at Li Yunxi helplessly, Li Zheng chuckled and shook his head: "Actually, this kind of thing can't talk about who is right and who is wrong at all.

If I were the management of S.M, then TVXQ would be wrong. If I were a member of TVXQ, then S.M would be wrong. Different statuses and interests will lead to different perspectives on things, and the decisions made will naturally be different. ”
