Chapter Ninety-Nine: Our Money Making Machine
"Brother, why are you back?"
When Oh Se-hoon, an EXO busybody, was reluctantly instructed by the other members to run to the entrance and open the door, he couldn't help but scream when he looked at the person in front of him who was smiling extremely happily and his face was a little distorted.
The eldest brother in the group, the captain of EXO-M, had to stay in the dormitory two months ago because he was hidden by the company, but now he has become the busiest person in the group - this brother has been wearing stars and moons, going out early and returning late for a long time, everyone has been returning from overseas for a few days, but he can hardly be seen in the dormitory, why did he return to the dormitory before twelve o'clock today?
"Hmm, what's wrong? Don't welcome me? Why is your face so ugly?When did I offend us?" The mood was so good that even people were about to explode, although he noticed that Wu Shixun's expression seemed to be something wrong, Wang Nanqian still patted the youngest brother on the shoulder and joked.
Hearing the other party's words, Wu Shixun hurriedly squinted his eyes and smiled at him: "Brother, what are you talking nonsense? I'm just a little surprised, you've been so busy lately, how could you come back at this time?"
If you have to say that the person who is the most surprised, it should actually be yourself.
Hearing Wu Shixun's question, Wang Nanqian shook her head helplessly while bending down and taking off her shoes.
After finishing today's filming work, he was indeed going to go directly to the company, but a phone call from Kim Taeyeon ruined his scheduled trip.
Seeing that the time limit set by Kim Young-min is about to be reached, he has been arranging the final part of the music almost day and night in the past few days: in this short period of time, the number of conversations with the president of Kim Young-min has even exceeded the number of times he has seen each other in his nearly seven-year trainee life, and the president, who is known for his cold-faced and ruthlessness, has been urging him to "hand over" almost every day.
"To the beautiful you" is almost poured out of S. M。 All the company's main resources and promotional focus of the TV series, from the official broadcast to now two weeks have passed. Contrary to everyone's expectations, as a prime-time drama on SBS TV, it received 6 when the first episode was broadcast. The average rating of 4% is already the best result - you must know that the hacker-themed TV series "Ghost" starring So Ji-sub and Lee Yeon-hee starring "To the Beautiful You" has achieved an average rating of 14% - and as S. M。 The company's ambitious work, "To the Beautiful You," has become the biggest joke in the industry in the summer of 2012 with an average rating of only around 5 percent.
Faced with such an unimaginably tragic situation, Kim Young-min was almost so sad that he couldn't even sleep: S. M。 The company's PR department suffers from the president's wrath almost every day. They've pretty much used all the tricks they can — SHINee's Choi Min-ho and On-ryu, f(x)Krystal, Choi Shelly, and Luna, Girls' Generation's Jessica, Sunny, and Tiffany, SJ's Kyu-hyun, Ye-sung, and Lee Wook...... From the starring role to the singer of several OSTs, almost all of them are S. M。 Almost all of the company's first-line artists are in the event.
However, it did not yield any results.
It's like a gambler who is in a hurry to lose. It was like pinning all hope on the last coin.
This song was definitely sung by Kim Taeyeon, the hottest artist of 2012 and the captain of Girls' Generation, and composed by Wang Nam-qian, the male number one of "Please Answer 1997", which almost caused a storm this summer, and Wang Nam-qian, the captain of EXO-M, who was at the center of the topic, turned out to be the last straw they were looking forward to.
If this OST can be like the OST "if" of the TV series "Kuaidao Hong Jitong" back then, like Kim Taeyeon's famous work, the popularity of the OST itself can drive the ratings and popularity of the TV series - maybe it can save some face.
Wishes, indeed, are very beautiful.
However, this is the "answer" that he hardly sleeps, and he forcibly hands over his exhausted spirit and body. Can Kim Young-min be satisfied? Can he live up to the company's expectations? Because most of his energy was devoted to the filming of the TV series "Please Answer 1997", Wang Nam-qian herself didn't know what this "homework" that she had to finish all night yesterday would be interpreted under Kim Tae-yeon's voice - and I don't know what "terrible" Kim Taeyeon's guy who would have convulsions from time to time would write Originally, he insisted on going to the company tonight to discuss the lyrics with Kim Taeyeon.
However, Kim Taeyeon's unusually firm and even stubborn words on the phone made him helpless and had to continue to carry this uneasiness.
"Nanqian Oppa, you haven't slept for almost three days, how can you relieve fatigue by just closing your eyes in the nanny car? Now that your part has been done, leave the rest to me with confidence, I have asked the recording engineer Oppa, you can rest for a night." ”
"I've already told you not to come. Can't you listen to me? If you don't sleep all the time, how can you still film in such a state?...... Don't say any more, I could have written the lyrics in one night, but if you had to interfere with me, I can't guarantee it! Did you hear me? Oops! If you come to the company, I'll go back to the dormitory right away!"
Having known Kim Taeyeon for so many years, Wang Nam-qian knew very well that once Kim Taeyeon really decided something, even ten trucks would not be able to drag this guy back: in the end, he could only smile wryly and ask the other party to be able to involve himself in the work when recording the final version of the demo for Kim Young-min.
However, the woman on the other side of the phone did not respond to his words at all.
"Nanqian Oppa, I listened to the audio source you posted today. ”
"Ah......?"
"It's so sweet!"
was forcibly hung up in an inexplicable cold snort. What else could he say? His body, which had been forcibly supported by nutritious drinks and coffee, also began to protest against him in due course, "I need sleep, or I will strike" - because of this, he was able to return to the dormitory "abnormally" before twelve o'clock.
"I'm going to die if I don't sleep anymore, who's taking a shower now? Who's next? Can you let me cut in line?" tossed aside the shoes that had detached from their feet. Wang Nanqian took Wu Shixun's arm and began to untie the laces of his other shoe.
"Don't say it's cutting in line, as long as my brother says a word, I will immediately rush in and drag Brother Kris out. It has been discovered that it is the oldest brother who has returned to the dormitory, and Park Chanyeol, who had been lying in the living room, has also run to the entrance, although it has been a few days since the members of EXO returned to Korea. But just in time for this brother to be the most busy. Even Park Chanyeol, who lived in the same room, had the opportunity to talk to him for the first time, "Now brother, you are our EXO's baby, and you must take good care of it." We unconditionally obey my brother's commands. ”
What kind of nonsense is this?
“…… Chanyeol, what do you say?" threw off the other shoe, Wang Nanqian put on and took off her shoes and raised her head, only to find that several people had been squeezed into the small space in the entrance.
"Brother Yun Zai is now a trending artist, completely trending. Of course, our most precious treasure. Irresponsible, Park Chanyeol put his arms around the neck of the brother in front of him.
Not the most handsome, not the best singing, not the best dancing, this brother's position in the group has always been a little embarrassing: although he has been a trainee for the longest time and has a very good personality, he has been loved by other members of the group - but no one would have thought that in the EXO group, the first person to become popular was actually this brother.
I couldn't even participate in the group's collective trip because I was hidden, but because of an unexpected audition, I stood at the top of the music charts - if the other ten members are desperately doing promotional activities overseas for the future of the group, then this brother has single-handedly kept the EXO group hot in South Korea, no, maybe it made them more popular.
With one to ten, it also has the upper hand. It's a laughable result.
"Don't talk nonsense, where did you hear this?" was about to be strangled by Park Chanyeol, Wang Nanqian desperately grabbed the arm of this nonsense guy before he could barely speak.
"Brother's name has been written on the top of several big music source websites, isn't it a general trend? Brother must be able to make a lot of money this time, right? I don't know when we will be like Brother?" If he wasn't too familiar with this brother's voice, he wouldn't have noticed that the person who spoke was the guy sitting on the floor staring at the TV screen and didn't know what he was watching.
From yin and yang weirdness to lukewarm, and then to bland, the mentality of the guy who was hidden with him seems to have slowly become better, and I don't know if Jin Junmian has talked to him after returning to South Korea this time?
It's already so busy that it's been loosened into the hospital, what are you thinking about Team K at this time?
People's energy is limited, and they are already too busy to take care of themselves. How can you care about those things outside of your body?" Wang Nanqian laughed self-deprecatingly, and threw Bian Boxian's matter out of his mind: "That's a chorus with Zheng Endi's seniors, and it's a cover, what kind of money can you make." ”
"It's cruel. I was content to get my first money within three years. Hearing such a practical question, Park Chanyeol, whose smiling face was like a flower, couldn't help but sigh.
"You're glad that you're making your debut with Brother NAN, maybe you'll be able to get the money early next year. If you don't have a brother, you just wait to die poor, brother is our money-making opportunity. ”
Which bastard said this? Why does it become more uncomfortable the more you listen to these words?
"I remember when I was in the selection exam. Isn't there also news that there is a brother Solo's debut? Fortunately, my brother didn't abandon us, what a blessing. ”
Which bastard is this messing around? It seems to be Kim Jong-dae? This busy man of Team M has never dared to joke with himself like this before, and he has already learned badly after not seeing him for a long time?
"If I make money, doesn't it mean that you make money? Finally returned to the dormitory at the "normal" time, surrounded by several younger brothers and gossiping nonsense, Wang Nanqian, who was suddenly relaxed, immediately felt sleepy: he felt a little unbearable.
"Wu Yifan, you hurry up and get out of it for Lao Tzu. ”
He yelled in the direction of the bathroom.
