Chapter 2 Introductions
More than 2 months have passed, although the memory of "Xu Ning" has been retained, the soul of the previous life is the dominant one, so in the past period, Xu Ning still has a lot of discomfort in life.
Fortunately, the head injury can be used as an excuse for medically diagnosed memory impairment, etc., so as to avoid more unnecessary trouble. After all, Xu Ning is a soul who accepts this Chinese cultural thought in his bones, and in a strange country in another time and space, it still takes some time to integrate into the new social environment so simply.
On this day, Li Cangdong invited him and Xu Renying's sister and brother to have dinner to thank him, during the banquet Li Cangdong asked him about his plans for the next stage, and he said by the way that he wanted to find a job to make a living, and he didn't want to trouble his sister anymore, but Xu Renying, who had always thought that his younger brother was idle, was a little surprised, but then he was quite relieved, and his younger brother really changed: when he returned home from the hospital, he didn't get drunk and make trouble outside with his fox friends and dog friends in the past, or lingered in Fireworks Willow Lane every night, just quietly reading books, doing housework, and now he plans to start working to make a living and be self-reliant.
Li Cangdong also asked with interest: "Then what are you going to do?" In his opinion, the young man in front of him has a good temperament, and there is a strong bookish atmosphere between his eyebrows, but his eyes are shining with agility and agility, and there is a sense of calmness that does not match his age.
But Xu Ning was stunned for a while, what to do? Since graduating from university in his previous life, he started as a college student village official, and within 4 years, he changed from an assistant to the village director, to an officer of the township party and government office, and then to a member of the X department of the district party committee, and has also experienced some ups and downs, but it does not work at all in this strange country. Looking for a job? His predecessor is really not angry, since he was a child, he has been lazy and hardworking, and he often skips class, and he barely graduated from high school with the help of his sister who spent a lot of human strength, and then he was ordered to join the army, and he happened within 3 days of coming back, and now he still has only one high school degree, which is simply impossible to get a good job in South Korea, which attaches great importance to academic degrees.
Seeing Xu Ning, who was stunned, Li Cangdong coughed lightly and asked, "Didn't you think about it?" By the way, what university did you graduate from? "Uh......" Xu Ning was suddenly embarrassed, so he had to tell his situation again, and now Li Cangdong was also stunned, this young man's temperament, eyes, and conversation, no matter how he looked, he didn't look like a white ding who didn't learn and didn't know how to do it, how could this be?
Seeing that the atmosphere of the dinner was gradually embarrassing, Xu Ning suddenly remembered that he had studied radio and television and journalism in college in his previous life, and he was still an honor student, but after graduation, because the work he was engaged in was not related to him, he gradually forgot about it. The work experience accumulated in the previous life does not work, but the theoretical knowledge is still there, and because of the job responsibilities, I have also studied the development of Korea's cultural and creative industries, and South Korea is a country with a highly developed cultural industry, so I should make more efforts in this area. Then he said, "I'm very interested in the TV entertainment industry, I wonder if Uncle Li can introduce me to it?" There is a big guy in front of him, he must take advantage of the opportunity, Xu Ning secretly cheered himself up in his heart.
"Huh?" Li Cangdong was slightly surprised, "Entertainment industry? Do you want to get into the entertainment industry? Being an actor? Or do idols? "No, I'm interested in planning, planning, and management, not to be an actor or an idol." Xu Ning hurriedly replied. Now Li Cangdong's brows furrowed, "This is not a simple matter, I think it is better for you to do something else." "Please Uncle Li listen to my analysis" Xu Ning began a long elaboration unhurriedly and methodically, based on a research report written by the leader in his previous life, "From the development of South Korea's cultural and creative industries, the in-depth development of our city's xxx No. 1 cultural and creative industry park and xxx incubator", Li Cangdong didn't care much at first, but after listening to a few words, he began to sit up straight, his fingers tapped his knees rhythmically, and nodded from time to time, Xu Renying on the side was shocked into a cold sweat, I am afraid that my younger brother will be inappropriate for a while and offend this senior with an extraordinary background.
After 30 minutes, Xu Ning stopped elaborating and asked, "These are some of my superficial opinions, and there are many absurd and wrong places in them, and I ask Uncle Li to forgive me for my advice." Li Cangdong leaned back on the chair gently, pondered for a long time, and said: "Many of the places you said are very immature, but there are also bright spots, but what I am more interested in is that what you say is definitely not something that a high school student can say, and most of the content, from the perspective of me, an old man who once served as the Minister of Culture, is more like the policy concept of the political axe department, where do you see it?" Or do you have relatives who work in the relevant departments? ”
Khan, Khan, Xu Ning couldn't imagine that he wanted to show off his talents, but he didn't think it would be self-defeating, and he was suddenly embarrassed, Li Cangdong didn't ask much when he saw this, and said: "Looking at what you just said, and my personal feelings, you may be more suitable to work in the political axe department, but I'm just a film director now, and it's impossible to help you in, but I can recommend you to go to some entertainment companies, how about it?" ”
"Thank you, Uncle Lee." Although it is not to go to the TV station you want to go to, it is not a bad choice to go to an entertainment company, and as Li Cangdong, it is definitely not bad to recommend it.
"Well, I'll go back today and discuss it with others, and tell you the results in two days."
After the business was over, the two sides talked again, and the guests and hosts parted happily.
That night, Li Cangdong had a reply, he had already greeted Director Cui of S.M Entertainment Co., Ltd., and Xu Ning would be able to go to work in two days. Xu Ning didn't react much, and after thanking Li Cangdong on the phone, he began to prepare for the new job, but Xu Renying, who learned about this situation, recalled Xu Ning's various "romantic affairs" in the past, and was afraid that he would "recur", and repeatedly warned him: "After arriving at S.M, you must be careful and careful, there are many beautiful female artists and female trainees in it, and there must be no thoughts and thoughts to disturb and talk, S.M is one of the most powerful entertainment companies in South Korea, once you have an accident in it, even Li Cangdong will not be able to protect you." In the face of her sister's admonition, Xu Ning couldn't cry or laugh, could it be that the word "pervert" was engraved on her face, which made her sister so uneasy. Of course, he also knows that his ex is indeed too presumptuous, and when he was in middle school, he was able to talk to beautiful female students, and he changed girlfriends at two ends in three days, and when he arrived at the so-called "beauty concentration camp" of S.M, of course his sister would not be at ease.
Two days later, Xu Ning braved the drizzle to come to a clean and bright pale yellow building in Apgujeong 2-dong, Apgujeong, 'Gangnam' district, Seoul, took a deep breath, and stepped into it.
South Korea is a country that attaches great importance to the cultural and entertainment industry, and Jung Axe feels that it is a good direction to recommend his country to the world through entertainment, in fact, it has indeed worked, and South Korea's entertainment culture has since blown a wave of "Korean Wave" wind in Asia and even the world, and at the same time has brought some promotion to South Korea's economic development. In South Korea, one out of every five people has a relationship with people in the entertainment industry, and then a large number of entertainment companies were born, and S.M Entertainment Co., Ltd. is undoubtedly one of the leaders, and has cultivated many national group artists such as H.O.T, MYTHO, S.E.S, etc., and is known as South Korea's "star-making dream factory".
On the white background wall, the shiny art word "s.m" and the full name of the company in English "s.m.entertainment" are inlaid with the sparkling art word. On the right wall of the company's front desk are some posters and photos of its artists. One of them is the poster of Girls' Generation, a popular girl idol group from S.M. Company. Looking at the young and beautiful girl on the poster, Xu Ning smiled slightly, in the memory of her previous life, this is a veritable Korean national girl group later, and her influence in South Korea has been unparalleled for a long time, and there are 9 lovely people in it, who doesn't like young and beautiful girls, although he is not a man among men, but at least he is a standard man, and his thoughts and surname orientation are also very normal, so he naturally took a few more looks.
"Hello, may I be able to help you?" When the waiter at the front desk saw the stranger entering, he immediately bowed politely and asked. Anyone who comes to S.M for the first time will not be able to stand looking around, looking at the bright posters at the front desk, and some people have even come here to take pictures, and the front desk staff is not surprised.
Retracting his thoughts, Xu Ning bowed and saluted back: "Hello, it's a pleasure to meet you, I'm here to find President Jin of the company, and this is my letter of recommendation." "Anyway, hand over the letter of recommendation from Director Cui of S.M Company, which Li Cangdong handed over to him yesterday.
The waitress looked at Xu Ning carefully, with a moderate figure, about one meter seven or eight, nearly one meter eight, brittle short hair, handsome face, exuding a gentle and elegant temperament, a pair of shining eyes, with a hint of depth, melancholy and maturity, giving people an inexplicable attraction, so that even if you are used to seeing all kinds of beautiful men, you can't help but be moved, but it's a pity, such a good pair of beautiful male embryos, why did they come without makeup? If you come for an interview as a trainee, you will have to deduct points. The waitress subconsciously regarded Xu Ning as a trainee who came to take the exam, lowered her head and checked the signature on the recommendation envelope, knowing that Xu Ning was not lying, "Okay, I'll help you contact it immediately." Immediately, he connected to the company's internal hotline and reported the situation.
Soon the response came down, and it seemed that Director Choi had already greeted President Kim, "Hello sir, the president is waiting for you in the office on the fourth floor." The waitress bowed down and handed back the letter of recommendation. Ok thank you. Xu Ning also nodded in return, and then walked in the direction of the staircase.
Walking from the first floor to the fourth floor, Xu Ning heard intermittent sounds and singing from the rooms on the first and second floors from time to time, it seems that some trainees or artists should be practicing in the company's practice room. During this time, he also met with some staff members in the company, whether they were old or young, he greeted them one by one.
came to the door of the president's office, knocked lightly, and after getting a response, Xu Ning pushed the door and walked in.
