Chapter 3: Lee so-man's words
Standing on the side of the bed, looking at her with pity as a star artist and sleeping soundly, only at this time did the two of them look like ordinary couples.
is also a star, because of his usual work, catching up with announcements and other reasons, he has always gathered less and left more.
In the Korean entertainment industry, the lifespan of celebrity couples is very short, and some even break up for various reasons after just a few days of dating, and the relationship experience between the two is not smooth sailing.
From the underground relationship that was determined at the beginning, the dating of the latter two was discovered, the identity was exposed, the attitude of the company, the support of fans, etc., until now, it has become a 'national couple' who has been accepted and blessed by fans, and in the past 5 years, it is the companionship and support of the two of them that have made this relationship last.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
didn't wake her up, the time for artists to sleep peacefully is very precious, and as a 'national goblin', the price of super popularity is that there are more constraints and less time to rest than ordinary star artists, because of the daily announcements and work, Lee Hyo-ri, who is full of time, can only sleep for two or three hours a day.
Leaned over, kissed her forehead gently, and left a note where she could see, I made an appointment today, looked at the time, picked up the car keys on the table, and walked out.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Looking at the words 'artist director' on the door, Li Xiaozhi raised his hand.
"Boom... Boom... Boom"
As soon as the hand was lowered, the door was opened from the inside, and the boy standing behind the door walked in.
"Xiaozhi, you sit down first, I still have a little matter to deal with."
Li Xiuman turned his head and said to the five people standing aside: "When you see the seniors, don't say hello!" ”
"Hello seniors, we are TVXQ."
"Yes." Sitting on the sofa, looking at the five boys standing in a row opposite each other and bowing in greeting, Li Xiaozhi nodded slightly, which was regarded as a greeting.
"The plan to debut in Japan, the company has already made it, and when I am not there, you will listen to the company's arrangement, okay, there is nothing to do, you can go out."
……………………………………………………
got up, walked to the desk, sat on the chair, and looked at Li Xiuman, who was sitting opposite with a sad face.
South Korea has a total population of more than 48 million, and although it is a country with a very developed entertainment industry, not everyone is chasing stars, and even among all those who chase stars, only real official fans will generate benefits for entertainment companies.
As a competitor, the relationship between sm and dsp rivals, from the beginning of the company, has continued until now, after dsp launched the all-round development of Li Xiaozhi, because the company was founded late, one step behind and was pressed to death, had to start to launch the men's group HOT, the women's group SES, the number of people to make up for personal shortcomings, used to fight against Li Xiaozhi.
As Li Xiaozhi's golden 10 years, the popularity that swept the whole country, although the hegemony of the entertainment industry is unshakable, he is a solo artist after all, dsp is not willing to lag behind in the face of the interests that are gradually being snatched away, and also began to launch the men's group Crystal Boy, the women's group FIN.K.L, to redivide the interests.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Both graduated from Seoul National University, and both are engaged in the entertainment industry, although the relationship between DSP and SM is tense, it does not affect the personal relationship between Lee Hyo-ji and Lee so-man.
In August 1998, Lee so-man embezzled 1.15 billion won of public funds in the process of the company's paid capital increase, as his own capital increase funds, invested in ** stocks, and stole tens of billions of won in the stock market spread, 02 years was reported, and Lee so-man, who received the news, fled to the United States in the same year, and it happened that Lee Hyo-ji was receiving treatment in the United States at that time.
As an alumnus and a senior in the entertainment industry, Li Xiuman often goes to the hospital to visit Li Xiaozhi, and for more than a year, he has put down his identity as a star and president, and every time he talks to Li Xiaozhi, he has benefited a lot, and the friendship between the two has improved rapidly.
Li Xiuman, who knew that he could not hide, returned to South Korea to stand trial after spending more than a year in the United States.
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
Raising his head, he stared at his bloodshot, tired eyes.
"Hyong (brother)...... What was the outcome of the trial? ”
took off the glasses on the bridge of his nose, wiped them gently, remembering the past, Li Xiuman couldn't help but smile bitterly and said: "Three years of probation, two years of fixed-term imprisonment ......"
Looking at Li Xiuman, who was not in a very good mental state, although this should not be what he should say as a perfect artist in the hearts of the people, Li Xiaozhi still asked: "Is it ...... There's no other way? ”
"Xiaozhi, from the moment I embezzled public funds, I knew that there would be such a day when people made mistakes and would always be punished." The words that were held in his heart came out, but he was relieved a lot, and Li Xiuman smiled.
"After so many years of fear, I can't sleep well every day, after the trial results come out, I may be able to sleep well with peace of mind, which may not be a good thing for my brother~"
Thinking of his wife and children, the smile on Li Xiuman's face was so reluctant.
"Eun-jin's health has not been good, and she has been scared with me all these years, and they are still young in Xiankui, filial piety, ............"
"Sister Eunjin and Hyun-kyu, I will definitely help if you are in trouble! Please rest assured! Before he could finish speaking, Li Xiaozhi interrupted what he was going to say next.
The time of contact between the two is not short, and he knows who he is, hearing him say this, Li Xiuman breathed a sigh of relief, changed the previous atmosphere, put on his glasses again, and said: "Okay, don't talk about these troublesome things, let's talk about you, why do you want to make a comeback?" ”
"Me...... I just don't want to stay like this anymore, hyong, we people, except to be artists and stars...... What else will be done? ”
This question has been held in my heart since the moment the doctor told me to give up the stage and give up my acting career.
Listening to his words, Li Xiuman couldn't help but fall into deep thought, as the founder, artist director and executive director of SM Entertainment, no one will know these things better than him.
They have been cultivated since childhood, in order to stand on the stage, the fierce competition among the trainees is particularly cruel, out of 100 people, only one or two are lucky enough to debut, and debut, does not mean that they will become popular star artists, there are countless unknown artists in the Korean entertainment industry, even so they still did not give up, or ...... They can't give up, they don't know anything except being artists.
But Li Xiaozhi is different, he is not short of money and does not need to fight for survival.
He is also not short of love, and he took the initiative to pursue his rich lady, the daughter of a high-ranking official, a female artist, etc., which was also a sensational news of the year, and Lee Hyori was not the most beautiful among his many suitors, nor was he the most outstanding, but why he chose Lee Hyori in the end, maybe only he knows.
At the age of less than 30, he has achieved what others may not be able to achieve in decades, or even in a lifetime, and it can be said that his life has been perfect............
But, perhaps it is precisely because of this perfection that it has caused the emptiness in his heart, if people do not pursue, if they do not have a goal to strive for, what is the difference between it and the walking dead!
Li Xiuman looked into his eyes and asked bluntly, "What is Xiaoli's attitude?" ”
"Hyo-ri doesn't agree with my comeback."
"Well, I also guessed, Xiaoli will not agree, considering your physical condition, I am not in favor of a comeback............" Seeing that he opened his mouth slightly to refute, Li Xiuman raised his hand and motioned for him to let him finish his words.
"Xiaozhi, a woman doesn't have many five years to squander, and Xiaoli gave you the most dazzling five years of her life, and she doesn't agree, just because she loves you and doesn't want you to have an accident," After a pause, Li Xiuman continued: "But as a man, as a senior, I know what you need, as long as there is a problem, there will always be a solution, you young people, don't be so extreme." ”
"My advice is, after you go back, you might as well talk to Xiaoli, what problems need to be said before the other party can understand, stand in your position and think about it...... I think Xiaoli will agree, and you, don't be so insistent, take a step back appropriately, and be good for everyone......"
……………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………………
casually took the door, thinking about what Li Xiuman had just said, turned around and walked downstairs.
