Chapter 527: November (Second Shift)

In the ancestral home of Namsan, Hee-sung met Kim Doo-hwan's father, Kim Cheol-ye, that is, the "special envoy" sent by his grandfather Lee Kyung-chul.

"Uncle Kim, is Grandpa's health okay?" After Hee Cheng saluted, he began to care about his grandfather's body, he was riddled with trivial matters this year, and he has not been able to go to the United States, and he has always felt very guilty.

"It's tough," Kim Cheolye shook his head and sighed, "but after all, I'm getting older, and I'm a little worse than before." ”

"Please take care of his health, and I will go to see him during the Spring Festival," Hee Sung said with a deep bow.

"I'll tell you," Kim Chol-ye nodded, "and he'd be happy to know that he'll be able to see his grandson soon." ”

"Uncle Jin also take care of his health," Xicheng said with concern: "It's not easy to work too hard in everything, it's time to take good care of your body, your body is better, and Brother Douhuan can rest assured." ”

"Hehe, do you mean Uncle Kim is here?" Jin Zheye laughed and said solemnly: "This time I returned to China, firstly, to see my homeland, and secondly, I also had some things to explain. ”

"Please speak," Hee-sung straightened his spine and said solemnly.

Kim Cheolye is Li Qingzhe's right-hand man in the world, and he is one of the important decision-making layers of the entire family, and he is extremely heavy.

"We have reached an agreement with Japan's Ai Hui to successfully acquire 16.9% of their shares, plus the part they previously owned," Kim said after a pause, "We have replaced Mr. Lee so-man as the largest shareholder." ”

"Hmm," Xi Chengran nodded and said with a smile, "Uncle Kim, is Grandpa going to sell it to me?" ”

"It may not be that there are no plans," Kim Cheolye smiled, "but after all, Mr. Lee so-man single-handedly built this Korean star dream factory, and your grandfather will not hand over the company to you lightly." ”

"I understand," Hee-sung shrugged. "Actually, I didn't plan to take it."

"Even becoming the largest shareholder is not an easy task," Kim said sternly, "Our business principle is not to be the largest shareholder and not to interfere in the operation of the company, and now it is an exception." ”

"Yes," Hee Sung was instructed in awe.

Lee Kyung-chul simply doesn't look down on South Korea's entertainment industry, especially at a time when the global entertainment industry is sluggish.

With such an active operation, it is obviously ready to escort Sun Tzu.

"Given that you are in the stage of self-reliance, it is impossible for Mr. Li to hand over this part of the equity directly to you......" Kim said businessmanlikely.

"I bought it according to the opening price," Hee Sung has his own backbone. Nor do they disdain to accept gratuitous gifts.

"Not only that," Jin Zheye smiled and shook his head, "Mr. Li also wants to see your operation ability, isn't it a popular combination now, package one out, as long as it can be ranked in the top ten, it will be considered a pass." ”

"Ah......" Xicheng suddenly made a bitter face, "Uncle Kim, can you not want it." It's very tiring to pack and combine, I'm too busy to see grandpa now, and I'm even more out of time to do what kind of combination. ”

Kim just smiled kindly. And don't speak.

Seeing that it was useless to be coquettish, Hee Sung could only be a little more normal, bargaining and saying: "In this year's new album, I sang a song in a group with a friend. won three consecutive championships in popular songs, can this be considered a combination? ”

If you participate by yourself, the top 10 is estimated to be not a big problem. Even if Kim Jun-so and S&M part ways in the future, he can find someone to make up for it.

"You can't participate in it," Kim Cheolye shook his head, shattering his last illusion, "What Mr. Li wants to see is your grasp of the overall situation, as well as your experience in human affairs, and not ready to feel your so-called super popularity." ”

Speaking of super popularity, Kim Chol-ye inevitably showed a trace of contempt.

For those who do business, basing their profits on the selective preferences of others seems to be quite dismissive.

The two grandsons of the Li family, one is lustful and the other is moody, and neither of them is a good candidate for heir.

However, when he came back to see Xicheng this time, he had some improvements.

Rounded!

Compared with the past, the current Xicheng has lost his coldness and arrogance, and can even be said to be as gentle as jade, which is already very good.

"I'll think about it carefully," Hee-sung knew that it was useless to talk too much, presumably it was all grandpa's meaning.

"I have done well in the past few years, but I lack a certain overall view," Kim Cheolye nodded with satisfaction, "Life is in the world, you can't live without goals, what is Xicheng's goal?" ”

"Target ......" made a successful debut from the beginning, to wanting to mix up in the entertainment industry, and then wanting to build an entertainment kingdom that can influence the rules of the game, but he never planned how to implement it.

"Although the entertainment industry is sluggish, he still has his unique position," Kim Cheolye patted Hee-sung on the shoulder, "The descendants of the old Li family can't be subservient, you should set your goals higher, S&M is just a medium-sized small business." ”

is worthy of being the big guy who assisted Li Qingzhe in controlling the nansam fund, and S&M is indeed just a small business in front of him.

In November, Xicheng mainly promoted the "Petition of Nomination" in Hong Kong, Taiwan, and the mainland, and also went to Japan once.

His fame in Japan is growing, and he was voted one of the most anticipated foreign artists by the Internet.

In addition, "The Secret Garden" has also become a TV series that Japan is looking forward to, but unfortunately Hades's price is too high, and the first round of negotiations cannot be negotiated.

Andy Lau began his national tour in November, and Hee Sung occasionally appeared to sing on stage as a special guest of Liu Tianwang, and people gradually became familiar with this foreigner who is unusually fluent in Mandarin.

South Korea's KBS TV invited Hee Sung to participate in the filming of "Quick Knife Hong Ji Tong", and even the Hong sisters, who were in charge of the screenwriting, were willing to change the script to be more suitable for Hee Sung, and he could designate the heroine to play it.

The Hong sisters are the screenwriters of KBS's "Haojie Chunhyang", SBS's "My Girl" and MBC's "Fantasy Couple", and they are two of the strongest in the field of Korean drama screenwriters.

It's a pity that Hee Sung resigned because he couldn't schedule the schedule, but as an apology, he wrote an OST called "If" and gave it to the crew for free, but he designated Kim Taeyeon, the captain of Girls' Generation, to sing it.

In November, "Juno" was a staggering box office, beating a series of rivals such as Paramount DreamWorks' "The Bee Movie", Universal's "American Gangsters", and the new line "Children of Mars" released at the same time. It grossed $45 million in its first week of release.

Hee Sung changed the trajectory of history, so that "Juno", which was originally besieged by "National Treasure 2" and "I Am Legend", began to be released early in November.

Although this time period is not as crowded as the days before and after Christmas, "Juno" is proud of the crowd, and there is no rival in the eyes, and there is no one who can compare with him.

It can really be said that it is better to be the head of a chicken than the tail of a phoenix!

Coupled with the high praise from critics, many famous critics named it one of the top 10 films of the year. The film's depiction of the abortion issue has also attracted the attention of the "pro-life" and "choice-oriented" who have been arguing on this issue in the United States, and has attracted a lot of praise and criticism from both factions.

As the so-called controversy is the topic, as the two sides fight to the death, the box office of "Juno" has also risen.

Hee Sung believes that the benefits of this film will definitely exceed his expectations.

100 billion won is possible!

What can you do with 100 billion won. He could buy one out of ten SBS TV stations.

Bae Yongjun's stock market value is only 54.5 billion won, and he is known as the richest man in South Korea.

In fact, this number was reached by Xicheng last year, and he paid more than 20 billion yuan in taxes last year.

Not to mention, he also has a secret income that will show value by the end of the year.

Teamwork John. Paulson's money hyping up the subprime mortgage crisis would have yielded at least four to six times as much.

In other words, he is now worth more than $300 million.

He's only eighteen!

The young billionaire is sitting in one of Hong Kong's best sea-view hotels, watching a live performance of Girls' Generation via video.

On the day of the release of "Juno" in North America, Girls' Generation released its first full-fledged album "Girls' Generation" and appeared on the popular song CB stage.

Sigh. Hee-sung pushed open the window facing the sea.

It was a slightly hazy day, with a grey sky that made the sea look less blue than it used to be.

The waves chase the waves, with no beginning and no end......

I see that the year 08 is coming. From the memories of the otaku, he knew that this was definitely the hardest year of girlhood.

Not only was there strong pressure from competitors, but it was also accompanied by a series of extremely strict anti-incidents.

Hee-sung thought about it, but couldn't find a way to help them. Even, he vaguely felt that his fans might not be involved.

So. When the reporter asked him if he had a girlfriend, he was silent, which caused a large number of radical fans to withdraw from the club.

He almost sneered at the fans who loved him like an idiot, however, Hee Sung also knew that these were just small measures to treat the symptoms rather than the root cause.

From the beginning of the establishment of Girls' Generation, the fuse has been laid.

The positioning of the female version of SJ made SJ fans extremely unhappy, and coupled with a series of measures taken by the company for hype, the contradictions accumulated little by little.

Then, negative news followed.

And then there's about the fight between fans.

As long as there are a few people who are pushing the trouble, this situation will naturally take shape.

Fans are a double-edged sword, and what is even more terrifying is that there are good and bad in the fan group, and everyone has it.

And most of the things these people do require artists to come forward to pay.

Therefore, it is almost impossible to solve the problem at the source.

Therefore, the closer he gets to that day, the more Hee-sung's heart fluctuates, what role he has to play in this movie-like story, or what role he has to play.

He looked out the window at the sea in a daze, and just stood here and let his thoughts fly.

Suddenly, in the gray-white raging waves, he found black dots, rolling and sprinting between the waves like elves.

Is that...... Petrels......

In capitalist society, Gorky's prose is not admired, at least not as supreme truth as in the Red Country, but his haughty and unyielding petrel is often mentioned.

Hee-sung had read that article, and now that he thought about it, something seemed to be slowly becoming clearer.

Yes, as the otaku memories show, there is a rainbow after the sun. Girls' Generation, which survived those difficult years, really made remarkable achievements, which overshadowed all the boy groups.

On the day Hee Sung left Hong Kong, when he woke up in the morning, he saw the sunlight spreading through the room.

The dark clouds dissipated, and the weather in Hong Kong, which had been hazy for four or five consecutive days, finally cleared.

Outside the window was the blue sky and white clouds, as if the dark clouds and fog that covered the sky just now did not exist at all.

The blue sky is cloudless, and the blue is like a piece of jade.

The waiter who delivered the breakfast set the meal and said respectfully: "Sir, you can play for a few more days, it is rare to see such good weather in Hong Kong." This is only possible if it rains continuously for some time. ”

"Oh," Hee Cheng leaned on the windowsill and muttered, "Is it only after the rain that the weather will be better?" ”

But Hee Sung didn't stop after all.

used to feel that Bai Luomei's sentence "If you are well, it will be a sunny day" is really stupid and ridiculous, but at this time he really believed it.

"It's been a long time, I really miss you guys," Standing in front of a few girls who were practicing dance, Hee-sung's heart finally settled down completely.

"Why do you say such meaty things?" Sika looked at Hee Sung blankly, always feeling as if he had become different, as if he had been reborn.

For the past three years, he has enjoyed the benefits of otaku memories at the same time. I also hate that I have otaku memories, because some things are like mountains, pressing on him all the time, and he can only wait silently for relief.

Now. He began to slowly unload the burden of being carried on his body as a responsibility, and naturally there would be a lot less gloom.

"I went on a trip, did I buy a gift?" Kwon Yoo-ri slapped Hee-sung from behind very boldly, and her face was as sweaty as Sika.

"Of course, I bought you the best whitening cream," Hee Sung smiled, "Come and get it from me in the evening." ”

"Ah, you're deliberately making fun of me," Black Pearl was embarrassed, but she was already looking forward to whether Hee Sung's so-called best whitening cream would have any effect.

"The agent oppa will say, he told us to restrain our words and actions," Xu Xian said cautiously.

"It's okay, you can let him go over together," Hee Sung walked over and touched her hair, "Xiao Xian is right, as an artist, you can't be the same as ordinary people, otherwise there will be negative news flying all over the sky, and they will magnify your little language mistake to the life and death of Cheng DΓΉ." ”

"Aren't you also a lot of negative press," Sunny said, a little unconvinced.

"I'm not like you," Hee-sung shook his head, but he didn't try to persuade him carefully.

Only when you experience an injury will you know the pain.

Looking at today's combination, although because of the long-term practice together, coupled with the gag in the middle, everyone has a good relationship, and they have barely formed a deep friendship.

However, human beings are sensory animals, and they grow up in different environments, receive different education, and experience different things, so it is naturally impossible to have absolutely consistent thinking.

In this case, contradictions are inevitable.

Now that the group has just started, it's okay to say, after all, you have to work together to have any hope of coming out, and even if there is a little contradiction, it will not break out.

But once it reaches the top smoothly and becomes a first-line girl group, the small contradictions accumulated over a long period of time will be infinitely magnified.

When the time comes, the combination will inevitably falter, either stagnating or falling apart altogether.

Only by going through the hard years together and supporting each other can we understand what a team is, know how to be grateful, and know how to cherish it more.

"Xiao Shun-kyu, you've had stiff wings lately, and you dare to talk back to me," Hee-sung grabbed Sunny and pinched her bulging cheeks, "Looks like it needs to be fixed." ”

"Ah, I'm going to call it indecent if I do this again," Sunny screamed back, and said unforgivingly, "You called me nuna some time ago, but now you dare to call me Shungui, and when you touch my hands in the future, the old lady must let you live and not die." ”

"Aigu, Ernie, you're a girl...... Yuna covered her forehead, almost unable to stand it.

As a faΓ§ade, she cares more about the image of the group than anyone else, and always takes it as her responsibility to maintain the image of the group.

"Playing the game was broken," Taeyeon complained, "She went to play that 'Raid', didn't sleep at two o'clock, and slept like a pig in the car." ”

"Let's play less games, if you play it so tightly, it will hurt your body," Hee Cheng sternly admonished.

It's because of playing games in the first place. She went through two auditions to enter the girlhood, and it only took a long time before the scar forgot the pain.

"Got it, got it," Sunny pouted.

Although she often goes against Hee-sung, the person she really admires is Hee-sung, and any opinions he puts forward, Sunny will take seriously.

"Oppa, we'll have an autograph session in two days," Seo Hyun looked at Hee Sung with sparkling eyes. "Is there anything to look out for?"

Although the agent has made all the precautions clear, she still hopes to hear what Hee Sung has to say.

"There's nothing special to pay attention to," Hee Cheng thought for a while and said, "You have to sign slowly, so that you won't be tired, and the signature will last longer, and it will seem like there are a lot of people." ”

This kind of conspiracy theory is Yan zhΓ²ng's purity, but it was Hee Sung who said it, and she was really thinking seriously about the feasibility.

"Xiaoxian. He's teasing you," Yuna grabbed Seo Hyun's shoulders and glared at Hee Sung with hatred in her clear eyes.

"You believe it, it's so cute." Hee-sung laughed and rubbed Seo Hyun's head, "However, there are some actions that you really need to pay attention to, such as not picking your nose." Don't pick your ears ......"

"Ah, Hee-sung, you're disgusting......" The girls began to chase Hee-sung. One of the most popular artists in South Korea - Lee Hee-sung, hugging his head and running away.

In mid-November, Girls' Generation held a formal autograph session in Yongsan, Seoul, with a large number of attendees, and even under the strong sweep of "Tellme", it also preserved the face that a large company girl group should have.

It was at this time that Hee-sung received an invitation from the "China-Korea Song Meeting" and invited him to serve as the Korean host of the 9th China-Korea Song Meeting.

At the 8th Sino-Korean Song Festival held in Seoul last year, Hee-sung's fluent Chinese and fluent typhoon left a deep impression on audiences in both countries.

It was only natural for him to continue as a moderator.

That is, it is a matter of two days, and he has to go to the mainland often to promote "Casting Names", so it is not difficult to take this job.

In this regard, Hee Sung became one of the Korean hosts of the 9th China-Korea Song Conference.

On November 15, the final episode of the second TV series "Secret Garden" starring Hee Sung in 07 was broadcast, and the highest rating of 35.8% came to an end.

The drama is co-produced by SBS TV and Hades Film and Television Production Company, co-starring Hee-sung, Ha Ji-won, Yoon Sang-hyun, and Kim Sha-ron, directed by Shin Woo-cheol, and written by Jang Hyun-jeong and Hee-sung.

This TV series is not the ratings champion of the year, with an average rating of only 25.5%, which is not even as good as the 27% rating set by Hee Sung's first film this year, "Witch Youxi", and even less than other works such as "War of Money".

But even so, it is a big drama that can be called legendary.

Because it has made the ratings of another Korean drama at the same time, "The Legend of the Four Gods of the Prince" with an investment of 50 billion won, not exceed 30% so far.

This can be called the most subversive scene in the history of Korean dramas.

After the filming of the TV series was completed, Hee Sung finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Except for occasionally cooperating with the crew members to attend some activities, he actually only writes songs to pass the time, as for "Two Days and One Night", before Jiang Hudong came to the door to pick up people, he would never throw himself into the net.

In his opinion, that game is not much easier than "Ten Thousand Dollars of Happiness".

When he has nothing to do, he will also be invited by An Zhinan to work as a magazine model.

Female artists make their debut, shoot magazine covers, and work as clothing models are the most common things, and they can also show a certain fashion taste.

All Hee Sung had to do was to cooperate with them in the required pose.

Eighteen years old, seeing that he is nineteen years old, Xicheng is no longer the weak he was at the beginning, although he has not developed into a muscular man, but he has well-proportioned lines and a slender figure, no matter how the style of clothes is worn on him, he can always show a different style.

There are magazines that are all in the market, and they are always out of stock.

If Lee Hyo-ri is the leader of women's fashion, Hee-sung has become the benchmark for most young men.

Because he doesn't emphasize temperament and demeanor like veteran artists, and he doesn't have a demonic spirit like a newcomer idol, he dresses up like a ghost.

PS: And in the same hair, this is two more Oh, I went to hang the bottle after work, I feel a lot better, but the doctor doesn't know what medicine to use, my mouth is so bitter, until now it is bitter...... It's miserable...... (To be continued......)
