After returning to South Korea, Lee Yiming rested at home for two days, and when Kim So-hyun's contract with "SidusHQ" ended, the two held a press conference to officially announce the signing of "Future". Pen | fun | pavilion www. biquge。 info
The press conference was held at Future, and although no media outlets were invited, the company's largest conference hall was packed with reporters who attended the event, not only local news media representatives from South Korea, but also from China, Sakura and even the United States.
After all, it was Li Yiming who officially issued the press release, and Rao is still popular after a year of absence, and Li Yiming, who has won the first place in the league in jersey sales. As an inspirational idol who has long gone beyond the scope of athletes, his every move touches the hearts of too many people.
The most anticipated part is, of course, the Q&A session.
As the host, Lin Mujin, the director of the Public Relations Department of Future, just opened his mouth and announced the start of free questions, and all the reporters' hands were raised.
Li Yiming did not play at will, waiting for Lin Mujin to choose the reporter who asked him questions - the other party has worked in S.M Company for many years, of course, there are media with good relations or bad relations, which reporter has a tricky problem and which reporter has no painful problem, and his heart is naturally much better than Li Yiming.
"'Seoul Sports', please ask questions."
"Hello Li Yimingxi. Not long ago, the official website of the NBA team Mavericks officially announced that they signed a two-year contract of 18 million with you, so how does Li Yiming feel about joining the Mavericks? ”
"Wow, that doesn't seem to be the subject of our conference, does it?" Li Yiming grinned, "But I think everyone is also interested in this issue, right?" ”
Many reporters nodded, mostly representatives of sports media from China, the United States, and Sakura. After all, Li Yiming has never spoken out to the outside world since he signed the contract, and if he gets his response here, it is equivalent to first-hand information.
"There's nothing new." Li Yiming pulled out a smile, "Maverick chose me, and I am very honored, it's as simple as that." ”
"Lee, we all know that you've been with the Bulls for three seasons (counting last season's reimbursement), and you've won a championship for this team and you've had your first MVP, and the Bulls are a great team, and you've had good chemistry with the players, so I'm curious, what is your reason for leaving the Bulls?" It was a question from an American journalist.
Li Yiming's expression was relaxed, and he said without hesitation: "Because of my knees."
"You know, after this year's playoffs, I went back to the U.S. to try out for a lot of teams, but unfortunately, people weren't optimistic about my injury, so no team was willing to offer me a contract, including the Bulls.
"So it's not that I left the bull, it's that the bull gave up on me, it's as simple as that."
His straightforward words made everyone present a little stunned, but surprise was surprise, the sports reporters did not slow down the action of tapping on the laptop, and recorded every word Li Yiming said exactly.
"Penguin Sports, please ask questions."
"Hello Mr. Li Yiming, about the knee injury you mentioned... We'd love to know how you're recovering now and are you confident about the upcoming season? "This is a Chinese journalist.
Li Yiming smiled, "These are two questions. ”
However, he did not dwell on the number of questions, and replied in fluent Mandarin after the joke: "The recovery progress of the knee is ideal, I want to be able to fully recover before the start of the regular season; I'm very confident about the new season, not only for myself, but also for our Mavericks as a team.
"We've got Ellis, Nash, we've got Carter and Parsons, we've even got Nowitzki and Tyson — and of course, me." His words made Chinese reporters who understood him laugh, "We are very strong, this is a fact." ”
After answering, Li Yiming continued: "Next, don't ask questions about basketball. He gestured to the overhead display, "That's what we're talking about." ”
After a short pause, there was still an endless stream of reporters raising their hands to ask questions.
"'Star Entertainment', please ask questions."
"Hello Li Yimingxi, after signing a contract with Future, does it mean that you will start official activities in South Korea in the future? For example, after the NBA series, the period from July to October each year. ”
Li Yiming said in his heart that he finally had something to do with the theme of this press conference, so he seemed very happy, "Strictly speaking, I can think so, but in fact, I just want Future, a professional entertainment agency, to help me deal with most of the event invitations in South Korea, which in my opinion are of little significance." After all, my primary profession is a basketball player, and the most important thing I need to do well is to play the ball well, and other commercial and non-commercial activities are just icing on the cake, not the most important thing for me to focus on. ”
"Thank you for your answer."
Li Yiming smiled and nodded, "You're welcome." ”
Lin Mujin saw that the atmosphere at the scene was not bad, so he was slightly relieved, and let Li Yiming freely choose to ask reporters, and in an instant, the reporters' hands were raised more straight, and each arm could be directly used to raise the flag.
Li Yiming stretched out his hand almost casually and ordered a round-faced uncle with an honest face.
Lin Mujin looked stunned, and the corners of her mouth twitched slightly. , "'Dispatch', please ask." ”
Hearing the name of this media, the corners of Li Yiming's mouth twitched.
The uncle squinted his eyes, and his original honest smile was now a little annoying to Li Yiming, he stood up and asked slowly: "Hello Li Yimingxi, Krystal.xi's TV series is about to be broadcast, what do you think about this?" ”
Li Yiming was stunned, and calculated in his heart, it seemed that it was indeed the latest, but there was a blank expression on his face. "Is it the last time?"
After the other party nodded, he pretended to be cautious and said, "Eh...... Well? Krystal.xi TV series is broadcasting, do I have to say anything? ”
The round-faced reporter of the "......" D agency was speechless for a while.
"Alright, so be it." Li Yiming smiled, "Today's hero is not only me." He hugged Kim So-hyun, who was a little snubbed next to him, and motioned for everyone to stop focusing on themselves.
Under his special expression, reporters continued to ask questions to Kim So-hyun.
"Kim So-hyun, how do you feel about joining Future, an entertainment company that focuses on the music market?"
The little guy quietly pinched Li Yiming under the table, and then replied: "Future is a company that I and oppa are both optimistic about, so I believe it can play an indispensable role in supporting my acting career in the future." Of course, I am always grateful and honored to have discovered and nurtured SidusHQ to this day: I was proud to be a part of the SidusHQ family. Now, I will continue my acting career at Future with the same feeling, and I would like to thank Future for accepting me and SidusHQ for understanding my decision. ”
Li Yiming, who has been listening to her with his head sideways, looks relieved, Kim Sohyun in front of people will always be the image of a mature and sensible girl actor who speaks without leaking. In the face of her career, to some extent, her attitude is more professional than Li Yiming.
"Thank you for your answer."
"No, you've worked hard."
"Ask the 'Seoul Entertainers' to ask questions."
"Kim So-hyun, when will I see your new work after Reset?"
"Thanks for the question." Xiao Suoxuan's smile is shallow, and his attitude is not official and polite, but very sincere, "I also very much hope to appear in a new work soon, but the voice of reason tells me that I still have a lot of shortcomings."
"I'm confident, but it's also true that there are still a lot of things that need to be improved, as an actor, I still need to improve a lot, so I prefer to calm down and polish my acting skills than to participate in new works.
"Until I have perfected myself, I may not participate in new works for a while."
"Thank you."
"You've done a great job." Kim So-hyun bowed slightly, and a pair of big eyes with aura shone brightly.
"Li Yimingxi, I want to ask..."
"Hello Kim So-hyun, I would like to know..."
"Kim So-hyun, for..."
"Mr. Li Yiming......"
The atmosphere at the scene was very good, so the question time also lasted for a long time, which ended with the reluctance of all the reporters on the scene.
It wasn't until the host Lin Mujin announced the official end of the press conference that Li Yiming and Kim So-hyun were able to leave in front of the set board and go to Li Yiming's "artist representative" office to rest together.
Li Yiming asked Kim So-hyun to sit on his "boss chair", and he stood behind the other party and kneaded her shoulders for her, "It's finally over...... Thankfully, they didn't ask too outrageous questions. ”
Xiao Suoxuan accepted his oppa's massage with a look of enjoyment, "The media with a bad relationship, the public relations department will not let them participate in the press conference." ”
Except for the D company.
D Agency, a celebrity media reporting website in South Korea, is one of the few media in Korea that has completely independent management rights and interview rights, which means that D Agency is not under the jurisdiction of any media and TV entertainment companies. Rao is Future is not afraid of the influence of the other party's public opinion, but there is really no need to resent because of some past holidays.
Once they target you, it's no different from being stalked by a mad dog.
There is only one person who can openly ask Zheng Xiujing about Li Yiming's press conference.
Before the two could chat a few words, Wang Xiaoming pushed the door in, followed by Lin Mujin, who obviously had just come out of the press conference.
"The launch went well." Lin Mujin looked at Kim Sohyun with a smile, and did not hide the appreciation in his eyes, "Sohyun Xi's speech is very mature, and his calm demeanor really makes it difficult to imagine your actual age." ”
"You've won the prize, Minister Mu Jin." Xiao Suoxuan's eyes were bent into a pair of crescents, in order to hide the shyness in his eyes. Once out of the public eye, she became the girl next door who would be shy to say a few words to strangers.
"I think it's great, too." Li Yiming echoed behind him, "How can we be so good, whether it's acting, image, or anything...... It's still beautiful.
"Hey, there must be a lot of people who envy it, right?"
"Ah, oppa!" The little guy slapped the other party's hand on his shoulder, and said with a smile: "Won't you feel embarrassed to praise yourself like this?" ”
