Chapter 480: A Trip to Hong Kong
On July 6, S&M's new girl group Girls' Generation's first confirmed member Yoona was announced.
The so-called teaser, which literally means teaser, is extended to preview and warm up in the entertainment industry, that is, to announce part of the content in advance, so as to arouse the public's curiosity.
Yuna is the face of the group, representing the image of the group, exquisite facial features, and refined temperament, which immediately fascinated a large number of boys, and many people recognized her at a glance as a trainee who has starred in many MVs and CFs.
It can be said that S&M is the right step to go.
From this day until July 14, when the ninth member SUNNY was revealed, one member was released every day, and until July 16, the entire image was finally revealed.
During the second period, the riverside ballad festival of "Infinite Challenge" was broadcast in two episodes, and although the ratings did not increase by leaps and bounds, this episode of the program was extremely enthusiastically followed.
Writing songs, holding concerts, and scoring by judges is a completely novel experience for the Korean entertainment industry.
Those who watched the show found it interesting, even though most of them were unimpressed by the creative abilities of the unchallenged members.
The "Infinite Challenge" program team did not release an album, but all seven songs were on the shelves of major music source websites and achieved very good results.
There was no expected fire, but without Hee Sung acting as a comforter, all the people in the program team became confident, and Kim Tae-ho even said wildly that they would sweep the Korean music scene at the next song festival.
This year's July was particularly rainy, with continuous rain from the beginning of the month to heavy rain in the middle of the month, and soldiers were already being sent to dredge the waterways in relatively low-lying areas of Seoul.
On July 12, S&M held a family concert in Busan, featuring TVXQ, SJ, Jihee Heaven, Ahn Qixuan, Zhang Li-Yoon, boa, and Hee-sung.
Despite the heavy rain. But there is no shortage of fans waiting for the scene, TVXQ, Xicheng, and SJ, who has been more popular recently, are all big fans, and their fans alone can crowd the scene.
Hee Sung's absence from last year's family concert caused a lot of turmoil, and a person familiar with the matter broke the news that the artist, who had only debuted for two years, intended to set up his own agency, and it was likely that S&M would part ways.
This time, Hee-sung attended the family concert. Naturally, the rumors are self-defeating.
Speaking of which, there is really no need for Hee Sung to set up his own company, although HS Studio has actually become independent from S&M.
His grandfather, Li Qingzhe, first acquired 15 percent of the S&M shares from the New Millennium Democratic Party, and after entering 2007, he began to contact Japan's Ai Hui, hoping to get 16.5 percent of the shares of the S&M company in Ai Hui's hands on the condition that he would get 3 percent of the shares of AVEXAerospace CORPORATION.
AVEXAerospaceCORPORATION, also known as the American Aerospace Corporation. It is a large company that has a close relationship with Ai Hui.
Its three-percent stake is more valuable than that of S&M.
Two years later, Ai Hui sold all the shares of S&M, and Li Xiuman only repurchased 1.5 percent. The rest was bought by Neowizbugs.
If Lee Kyung-chul is able to complete the deal, then S&M's largest shareholder is likely to be replaced.
Even if Grandpa's capital operation fails, Xicheng is confident that he will become the largest shareholder of S&M in the next few years.
For now. When they were young, they were not eligible to participate in S&Mtown, but they were still preparing for their second stage, and the music video for their debut song "The World Meets Again" was also being planned.
After the family concert. Hee-sung didn't continue to pay attention to the shooting of the MV when he was young, and he also had his own career.
In addition to taking time to speed up the progress of the TV series, he also has to fly to Hong Kong to promote the overseas broadcast of "Witch Youxi".
The other actors were unable to make the trip because of the itinerary, only Xicheng and Han Jiaren went this time, and there were not many bodyguards, and the Hong Kong cable TV station, which bought the Hong Kong copyright of the TV series, would be responsible for the reception.
Hong Kong Cable Television is one of the three major television stations in Hong Kong, the other two being Television Broadcasts Limited (TVB) and Asia Television (ATV), of which Hong Kong Cable TV is the TV with the largest number of subscribers among Hong Kong's pay TV programs.
Hong Kong, a city that used to be brilliant because of movies, also has its own uniqueness in music, but unfortunately, like movies, it is basically going downhill.
In fact, cinema across Asia is not improving.
I don't know if it's a foreign monk who is good at chanting, "Witch Youxi" seems to be more popular in Japan than in South Korea, and the office OL and the sling silk counterattack the goddess, which seems to be more in line with the aesthetic taste of the Japanese.
Even last year's "Palace", Hee-sung's two TV series have become popular works in Japan, and it is a miracle today when almost all Korean film and television works have failed in Japan.
SBS hopes the drama will still be a hit in Hong Kong.
Therefore, Xicheng and Han Jiaren not only held a fan meeting and autograph session, but also specially held a press conference and received a number of entertainment media from Hong Kong and Taiwan.
"Hello, Miss Han Jiaren, I am a reporter from "Hong Kong New Entertainment", a four-eyed boy squeezed over, and finally waited for the opportunity to ask a question, he said quickly: "I heard that Mr. Yeon Jung-hoon is very dissatisfied with the intimate scene between you and Hee-sung, and there was once news of a marriage crisis, is it true?" ”
Although the translator found such a question boring, he still faithfully conveyed it to Han Jiaren.
The smile on Han Jiaren's face was a little reluctant, and she clarified: "My husband and I are both showbiz people, and we can understand each other's work, and we won't affect our relationship because of this little thing." ”
"So, may I ask Miss Han Jiaren, what do you think of Hee Sung?"
This question is very broad, Han Jiaren thought about it a little and replied: "Xi Chengxi's acting skills have improved very quickly, and he is also very good, and he often invites him to dinner......
"Miss Han Jiaren ......"
"Miss Han Jiaren ......"
I don't know if it's a problem with the translation, or if Han Jiaren herself didn't express it clearly enough, but the reporters were like sharks smelling fishy, and they all became excited.
"Excuse me, do you and Hee Sung often eat together?"
The translator finally summed up the messy questions into one sentence and conveyed them to Han Jiaren.
"Eating together?" Han Jiaren didn't understand the meaning of this sentence, and was about to answer, but Hee Sung was the first to speak, "Miss Han Jiaren is a senior I respect, and she has helped me a lot in acting, so I invited her to dinner, but there was an agent present at the time, thank you." ”
"This is a little insincere," the reporters knew that Xicheng was a Chinese expert, and he was very proficient in language and customs, and the traps in the interrogation couldn't hide from him at all, so he kept targeting Han Jiaren, but he suddenly took the initiative to interject, and someone asked unto be outdone: "As far as I know, you have repeatedly stated in public that your ideal type is Miss Han Jiaren......"
"Yes, yes," the reporters' eyes lit up, "Excuse me, Mr. Xicheng, do you still like Miss Han Jiaren now?" ”
Hee-sung sighed speechlessly, and tried to explain: "The ideal type, in fact, is that the girl you like is biased towards that type, not that you have too much thought about the ideal type herself. ”
"I'm a reporter from "Hong Kong Weekly", suppose a question, if Miss Han Jiaren is not married and has no dating partner, may I ask Mr. Xicheng, will you pursue her?"
Someone took a different approach and asked a question that made Hee-sung's scalp tingle.
These damn reporters are entangled in this kind of topic and don't let go, and they always want to come up with something exciting.
Xicheng can't give a clear answer at all, if he says that he will pursue Han Jiaren, then the reporter will say even more, if he says no, it doesn't mean that Han Jiaren is not attractive enough.
"A hypothesis is a hypothesis because it is not a possibility of happening, this friend, I hope you can ask some substantive questions," Xicheng has a good writing skills, and cleverly avoids the edge of the topic in Chinese.
"I heard that you and Han Jiaren live in two adjacent rooms when you stay in the hotel this time, is it true?" The reporter came prepared, and a group of people stared at the two of them like hungry wolves.
Only then did Han Jiaren understand the ruthlessness of the reporter, so she simply kept silent, and only smiled and looked at the "Confucianism" of the Xicheng tongue battle group.
"The hotel's problem was raised by the sponsor of this event, and we didn't know about it in advance," Hee Cheng had a headache and could only shift the blame to Hong Kong Cable TV.
In fact, Hong Kong Cable TV is indeed to blame, even if it is arranged in adjacent rooms, this matter is so lightly known by reporters, maybe they are behind it.
Generating topics to boost the ratings of the broadcast is nothing more than that.
However, Xicheng also wondered, had they considered that Han Jiaren was already famous, how effective could such publicity be?
He didn't know that in the eyes of many people, people & wives are obviously more charming and topical.
"Will you cooperate with Han Jiaren in TV dramas in the future?" Finally, someone raised a more serious question.
While hee Cheng breathed a sigh of relief, he hurriedly nodded and said: "Han Jiaren's predecessors are impeccable in terms of acting skills and image, and there will definitely be opportunities for cooperation in the future, so stay tuned." ”
Han Jiaren listened to the message conveyed by the translator behind her, her eyes rolled, and she glanced at Xicheng deeply, her delicate face was still smiling, and she didn't say anything.
When they got rid of the difficult reporter and returned to the hotel, before Hee Sung could get a good rest, they received a call from an old man inviting him out for tea. (To be continued......)
