Chapter 55: The Second Battle

After leaving the DES company, Kim Hee-sun's face suddenly changed, and he became relaxed, glancing at the script in his hand, "Brother Zhenwu, you will soon know that even the masked man will shine." It's advantageous, drive to Park Chan-wook. ”

Park Chan-wook, a talented film director, is still unknown at this moment, and a film shot two years earlier suffered a failure. But such a director was highly regarded by Kim Hee-sun's agency, and she invited the future director to direct this new work two days earlier. Of course, Park Chan-wook couldn't ask for it, a movie with a budget of 6 billion was a high-cost system for him at this time, so even if he read the initial script two days earlier and felt that it was too simple, he didn't say anything.

Holding the script that King had revised in three days, he felt his eyes light up, "Miss Heeshan, this revision has not changed the outline, but only fine-tuned the details, and it feels much better than the original script." ”

"So the original script is not good?" Kim Hee-sun said with an unkind face, "Why didn't Director Park say it at that time? Is it bullying me for not understanding? She assumed the tone of an investor.

Park Chan-wook didn't expect Kim Hee-sun to get angry, and quickly explained, "At that time, I thought the plot was too simple, but I am the director, I can enrich them, and the final revision power is in the hands of the director after all." But now I can't get my hands on the adapted script. ”

"Can't you get your hands on it?" Kim Hee-sun said, "But isn't Director Park a genius director? Isn't it worthy of the name? ”

"Huh? This one? Park Chan-wook's forehead was sweating, "It's not that it can't be changed at all, what kind of changes does Miss Kim Hee-sun want to make?" ”

"This," Kim Hee-sun pointed to the masked man, "I want to increase his role and become the second male lead in the whole movie, can Director Park do it?" The director has the final right to finalize the draft. ”

Park Chan-wook looked at the character and the auxiliary instructions, "Yes, this can be done." ”

Of course, King didn't know about this scene, and he didn't guess what Kim Hee-sun was doing, because the time for the second battle with S.M had come. An hour before the performance began, the Wind and Rain group led by King and the HOT group led by Lee so-man met again at the door of the venue.

"President Li, it's been a long time." King took the initiative to stretch out his hand, and Li Xiuman also smiled and stretched out his hand, and shook it with him pretendly, "Yes, I haven't seen President Liu for a long time, otherwise I will find a place to sit down and chat together after today's performance, and see what S.M is still lacking and needs to learn from DES?" ”

King smiled, "I think President Li should have something to teach us juniors today." Li Xiuman shook unconsciously, he always felt that this president, who was more than 20 years younger than him, seemed to have the ability to perceive a qiē, could it be that the preparation he had made had been seen through by the other party? King nodded and walked in with his own combination.

The champion of the popular song last time was the Wind and Rain Group, so today's performance of the Wind and Rain Group was ranked last, and HOT should also be ranked behind, but king looked at the program list, and it seemed that he specifically avoided the Wind and Rain Group, and he was still ranked third. "Pay attention to HOT's performance," King said to the rainy day, who was a little absent-minded and frequently looked at Kim so-jin in the back row, "This time Li Xiuman is very well prepared." ”

"What if you're well prepared? Our foundation in the early stage is already stronger than them, and we have won the first place for three consecutive weeks, and our popularity is much stronger than theirs. ”

"You can't take your opponent lightly at any time, you take a closer look, the audience around you, take more of that color of support props?"

"What?" Zifeng and Yutian looked around, and found that although there were a lot of fans, white balloons filled the audience, "How can this be?" Could it be Li Xiuman's troublemaker? ”

King scoffed, "How can you two as artists not pay attention to the activities of other groups?" Before the first showdown, Li Xiuman deliberately did not release an album in advance in order to create a mysterious atmosphere, but yesterday's album "Descendants of Warriors" has been released, and today's song "Candy" is one of them, which is definitely not inferior to the descendants of warriors. These fans must have come because they liked those MVs, right? ”

"What about our fans? How is it so little? Rainy asked eagerly.

"We have a lot of fans," King replied, "but we've been singing for almost a month now, and we don't have as much novelty as Candy." But that's not the main thing, it's the strength that plays the biggest role, you just see. ”

Just like the first time, the first two singers who came on stage were not favored by everyone at all, and soon stepped down in disgrace, and it was HOT's turn to take the stage.

HOT's music this time was very brisk, and as soon as it appeared, it immediately caused a sensation on the field, and white balloons filled the field. Zifeng: They even saw that some fans even prepared two sets of support, including theirs and HOT's, which is even worse for the wind and rain combination, and if it is not done well, some fans will defect. But King didn't seem to care, "You should carefully see what kind of gap there is between your dance and the other party's strength, and you can't rely on the popularity you have accumulated in the past to play a role." ”

The rainy day was obviously panicked, and he was not so nervous in the first battle, "It's not a dependence, but the accumulation of popularity always has a role, right?" We should be able to pull it back at the end, right, President? ”

"I hope so," King said, "but you also have to be prepared that your current fan base is not yet stable and is always wavering." If it is shaken to the other side, it is not impossible. ”

Yutian stood up and said, "President, no, we must not lose." Zifeng, go and prepare now, and the next performance must be better. ”

"Hmm," the two of them hurriedly ran backstage, and Yutian didn't even glance at Kim so-jin. The gap between the front and back was too big, and Kim so-jin didn't know what was going on at first, but at this time, after the HOT performance, there was a cheer around her, and a white balloon was waved into the air, and she couldn't help but worry about her little lover.

Li Xiuman saw the wind and rain combination leave suddenly, and then saw the surrounding situation, smiled knowingly, and then walked over to King. "Isn't President Liu fully prepared this time? Why is the wind and rain combination going to the backstage now? ”

"Compared to President Lee's full preparation, DES's preparation is really not comprehensive, but in my opinion, the stage effect of candy's dance music is even better than the MV, so it should be deliberate, right? Otherwise, the MV of the album wouldn't have come out yesterday, and "Descendants of Warriors" was deliberately not as good as "Candy", so that the audience's expectations would be higher, right? ”

Lee so-man was stunned for a moment, the album did re-record after the stage failure last month, and as King said, although the effect of the whole album was very good, it still deliberately weakened the title song "Descendants of the Warriors" and highlighted the sub-title song "Candy" instead. Even so, in the design, Candy's stage effect is more powerful than in the MV, giving people a sense of progression. King saw this, did he already have the means to deal with it?

"So President Liu is still very sure tonight?" He asked tentatively, Li Xiuman, who has always been strong, is actually a little lacking in confidence after knowing the strength of King.

(After Li Xiuman's arrangement and the wonderful performance of the powerful HOT group, even the wind and rain combination, which has always had an advantage in the early stage, began to get nervous.) So, will they face a crushing defeat today? )
