It is undeniable that the ability of illegitimate meals is indeed very large, and they are always able to get some of the most secret information by staying in the closest place to the star all year round, and their efficiency is even much stronger than that of professional paparazzi.

But at the end of the day, there's a limit. For example, this time Li Jingyuan took the girls to the United States together, and the illegitimate dinner only inquired about the information when they left, as for what happened to Li Jingyuan and the girls after they arrived in the United States, they actually didn't know too much.

Therefore, the specious news that appeared on the Korean Internet could not have been spread by illegitimate students.

So, did the news leak from the staff? After all, the girls still have some work arrangements after they arrive in the United States, and they have also come into contact with a lot of staff during this time.

It can't be either.

In order to adjust Xiao T's mentality, Li Jingyuan did delay for a few days before telling Xiao T the news. However, even if there is a delay of a few days in the middle, it will still not leak the news, after all, during that time, there is only Li Jingyuan who knows about it, and he has not even notified Xiao T, so how can he tell others about it?

And while waiting for news, the girls of Girls' Generation will not talk nonsense everywhere. Not only will she not say things like 'Tiffany will become the heroine of Hollywood blockbusters', but even, in order to prevent Little T from being looked down upon by others after losing the election, in order to maintain Little T's mood. They won't even tell outsiders about 'Little T went to the interview' itself.

Whether it is Li Jingyuan or the girls of Girls' Generation, they will not leak the news. Then, it is impossible for the staff who follow them to get any information, and the people who leak the news naturally cannot be these people.

So, where exactly does the news on the web come from?

There is no doubt that the news came from within the S.m company, or more specifically, from Li Xiuman.

When it comes to the most famous brokerage company in Korea. In fact, it is not S.m, JYP, or YG, but those agencies that have many big-name actors, such as Song Hye Kyo. Jun Ji-hyun, Sung You-ri, Cha Tae-hyun, Lim so-jing. Zhao Rencheng. Jeon Ji-hyun, Ji Jin-hee, Choi Ji-woo, Kim Hye-so, Park Shin-yang, Jung Woo-sung, Lee Mi-yeon, Jeon Do-yeon. SidusHQ of Honest Ya and others, such as Yuan Bin. Han Chaeyoung, Cho Hyun-jae, Lee Jung-jin, Yang Dong-geun and others belong to the brokerage company StarJ Company, etc.

As for companies such as S.m, JYP, and YG, although they have made a relatively large noise with the influence of their idol groups. In terms of actual income, it is still a lot worse than that of an actor agency.

In modern society, it is an unquestionable iron rule that earning money means having a higher status. Therefore, in terms of their status in the entertainment industry, several companies that focus on idol singers are still not as good as those that focus on actors.

As the founder and de facto manager of S.m., it is impossible for Lee so-man to be without ambition. In his heart, it is his greatest wish to lead S.m to a high enough position to surpass companies such as SidusHQ. It is precisely for this reason that S.m Company will continue to launch idol artists at the same time, but also repeatedly try to launch actors such as Lee Yeon-hee and Ko Yara to develop in the TV drama and film industry.

I have to say that the expressions of Li Yanxi, Gao Yala and others are still very good, and they are also very good-looking, which can indeed attract a lot of fans. However, they are still a young generation after all, and before they have accumulated enough capital, there is still no way to compare with those big-name star actors. To put it bluntly, the role that these people can expect from 'helping S.m close the gap between them and SidusHQ' is still very limited.

Under such a premise, Xiao T's appearance in "Transformers 4" and the heroine in the film is undoubtedly the most effective shot in the arm for S.m Company and even Li Xiuman himself.

It's not the first time that a Korean artist has played a leading role in a Hollywood movie, and there was also Rain who played the lead role in "Ninja Assassin" before. It is not the first time that a Korean artist has participated in a Hollywood blockbuster, Lee Byung-hun has previously participated in "Special Forces", and Lee Kyung-won has also starred in "Resident Evil".

However, it is the first time that someone has won such an appearance contract in the entire Korean entertainment industry. This is something that big-name Korean actresses such as Jun Ji-hyun, Song Hye Kyo, and Choi Ji-woo have not done. So, in terms of a certain Cheng dù, is the S.m company that signed this starring contract for its own artists even more than SidusHQ?

Although he had heard the phrase "S.m is the most famous agency in Korea" many times before, Lee so-man was also very aware of the reality and knew that the evaluation of S.m was only limited to the music industry. If the scope is expanded to the entire entertainment industry, it is still somewhat unworthy of the name.

And this time, Xiao T got the starring contract, which is equivalent to giving Li Xiuman a reason, so that he finally has the confidence to say, 'Our company is also the first in the entertainment industry'. Under such a premise, how could Li Xiuman let go of a great opportunity and not shout out his depression?

In fact, before Li Jingyuan left South Korea with the girls, he once mentioned to Li Xiuman that Xiao T was going to an interview, and also said that 'Xiao T is very likely to get the heroine'. Since that time, Li Xiuman has been holding back his thoughts about using this matter to publicize.

When he got the news that Li Jingyuan sent back from the United States, Li Xiuman had already drawn up a series of detailed propaganda plans.

Instead of going through official channels to release the news, let a few trusted employees in the company post some specious news on the Internet to stir up the matter first. And when it came to Little T, he really entered the crew. When Michael Bay and the crew of "Transformers 4" admitted the news, S.m stood up and cooperated, so that's it. The Korean entertainment industry, which has been warmed up first, will really churn, and the attention of all walks of life to S.m will continue for a long time.

On the other hand, if you keep it secretive and don't come forward to admit it until the critical moment, the situation will be different. Although there will be more explosions, because there is no pre-warming, the impact of things is likely to come and go quickly. In this way, the continuity of the topic will be much weaker, and the role of the publicity company will be limited.

The plan is good. The follow-up development is also the same as Li Xiuman expected. After another half a month, Michael Bay and the crew of "Transformers 4" finally ended the casting work, although the crew has not yet been fully set up, and the preparations are not all over. However, at this time, the list of actors can already be released.

October 31, Korea time. That is, on the last day of October, early in the morning, the door of the S.m company was blocked by a group of people.

Unlike usual, this time it was not the fans who protested against the company's injustice to the idols, but a large number of reporters carrying all kinds of machines. The reason is very simple, it is because the crew of "Transformers 4" in the United States has held a small press conference.

It's not just Hollywood's entertainment reporters who are paying attention to the Transformers 4 crew, but South Korean reporters are also interested in any information that comes from there. They all want to figure out one thing. That is, 'whether Tiffany of Girls' Generation got the heroine of "Transformers 4" as rumored'.

The crew announced the cast at a press conference. The heroine column above does clearly write the name of Little T. The previous news has been confirmed, so how can South Korean journalists not act immediately?

I had expected this to be the case, and the employees of S.m. were very comfortable with it. Unhurriedly invited these reporters into the company, vacated the largest practice room as a temporary press conference venue, and then invited Li Xiuman, Li Jingyuan and Xiao T.

"Click~! Click~! As soon as he pushed open the door of the practice room, Li Jingyuan, who was walking in the front, first ushered in a baptism of flashing lights. And after Xiao T, the 'heroine', appeared, the frequency of the reporters pressing the shutter accelerated to the extreme, and for a while, the entire practice room was illuminated by flashing lights.

Although he was the biggest behind-the-scenes contributor to the matter of 'Little T getting the heroine', Li Jingyuan did not plan to say that he was an investor in "Transformers 4", so that he would only be left as a screenwriter. According to the rules of the United States, the screenwriter's influence on the casting work is not as great as that of South Korea, so for today's occasion, his attention in the eyes of reporters is not too high.

However, the reporters didn't know that Li Jingyuan, Li Xiuman, and Xiao T were very clear about the front and back joints of the matter, so Li Jingyuan, who had the most detailed understanding of the matter, still had to attend this press conference and help Xiao T from the side.

Therefore, after discussion, Li Jingyuan installed himself in the name of a temporary MC. While taking care of Xiao T to ensure that she gets the greatest attention at this press conference, she is always ready to stop the conversation and block some difficult questions for Xiao T.

"Fany, you still say, 'What kind of sunglasses do you wear when you go to the company?', how about listening to me?" Since I want to be an MC, I have to be responsible for adjusting the atmosphere. After entering the door, he found that the scene seemed to be a little too grand, so Li Jingyuan turned around and let Li Xiuman into the house, and made a joke to Xiao T who walked at the end.

There's no way, although this girl has seen a lot of big scenes as a member of Girls' Generation, but it is the first time that she has been singled out from Girls' Generation to attend a press conference with Li Xiuman, and with Li Xiuman by her side, she is still more or less nervous, and this kind of love is not suitable for attending the current press conference. After all, she is a person who has just won the heroine of a Hollywood blockbuster, so she has to be a little more atmospheric to be worthy of the identity of the heroine, right? And, who knows if the reporters will ask trickier questions, if Little T is not relaxed enough. When facing these tricky questions, it may be more troublesome.

"Hey, thank you OPPA." Sure enough, it was just as Li Jingyuan expected. After seeing such a big battle, Xiao T was indeed inevitably shocked, and it was not until she heard Li Jingyuan's ridicule that she recovered from her momentary stunned. Although I couldn't see the eyes behind her sunglasses, it could be seen from the corners of her mouth that she was indeed smiling at this time.

"Fortunately, my eyes have always been small, otherwise after being greeted by you so warmly, I would have gone to the hospital for a check-up." I sat down in my seat first. Li Xiuman also came quite unexpectedly with such a sentence. Well, he also heard the conversation between Li Jingyuan and Xiao T, and he wanted to let Xiao T relax a little. At the same time, it is also because I am in a very good mood today, so I am so casual.

After Xiao T also sat down, Li Jingyuan sat down next to Xiao T. He and Li Xiuman sandwiched Little T in the middle. If it were in normal times, it would definitely be Li Xiuman sitting in the middle. But. Today's protagonist is Little T, so naturally the way the seating is arranged can no longer be the same as usual.

"Okay, as the temporary speaker for today's press conference, let me start with a remark. I guess everyone came here because Tiffany was chosen as the heroine of "Transformers 4", so I'll admit it here, yes, the news you see is true. It's not some cyber prank. "The opening scene is also the task of the temporary MC, and when Li Xiuman and Xiao T are seated. When the reporters also took out various tools to prepare for the record, Li Jingyuan first knocked on the microphone in front of him and made an opening remark.

"May I ask President Li Xiuman, are all Li Jingyuan's words true?"

"May I ask President Li, how did you get in touch with the crew of "Transformers", and how did you get this role?"

"Excuse me......."

Although it has not yet reached the reporter's question session, when Li Jingyuan finished his opening remarks, the reporters still couldn't hold back the eagerness in their hearts, and broke the usual normal process and began to ask questions.

The object of the question is not the protagonist of Little T, and it is not that it is incomprehensible. In the eyes of the reporters, if it weren't for the S.m company that opened the door first, even if Xiao T had the ability, he would not have gotten the opportunity to go to the interview, not to mention, Xiao T is still a newcomer who has never had acting experience? This means that in the process of getting the role, help from all sides plays a greater role.

If you want to find out the inside story of this, you naturally have to ask Li Xiuman, the manager of S.m. (Although most reporters know that Li Jingyuan is the real power, they also know that Li Jingyuan will never admit this identity in front of the official media, and these reporters who know about it have already been greeted and know that they can't report this information, so at this time, they have no choice to ask Li Jingyuan.) ）

"Ahem, since everyone wants to know, then I'll talk about the process." It was not only because the reporters asked questions, but also because they were about to talk about these things, so Li Xiuman cleared his throat, took over the topic and began to say: "Actually, this incident is also an accident for our company. It all started a few months ago, well, I think about it, it was probably in March of the beginning of the year....... ”

The real situation doesn't necessarily lend itself to propaganda, as this is the case this one. For the sake of the company, it is the best choice to let Xiao T shine in this matter, as for Li Jingyuan, he is just a behind-the-scenes screenwriter anyway, except for the professionals in the circle, not many people will keep the fact that he wrote the script in mind. Therefore, if you follow the central idea of 'making Xiao T the most brilliant', you need to conceal Li Jingyuan's credit on a certain period of time, and you can't let outsiders know his role in this matter. And in order to do this, Li Xiuman and Li Jingyuan deliberated once, and then talked to Xiao T and the girls who knew the inside story, and then came up with a statement to fool outsiders.

"Like other ordinary enterprises, in order to ensure stable development, our company will hold several key meetings every year, and at that meeting at the beginning of the year, Jingyuan asked me for one thing. He said that he asked me to help him keep an eye on the point, and at some point this year, the United States should call him to ask for a script. At the time, I still didn't understand the situation, but after listening to his explanation, I realized that he was the screenwriter who worked with Michael Bay to write the script for the "Transformers" series of movies. ”

"Then, he told me that sometime this year, Paramount should contact him again and ask him to continue working with Michael Bay on the script for the fourth Transformers movie."

"Everyone knows that around April this year, Jing Yuan had to report to the athletes' village because he was going to participate in the training camp for the Olympic Games. When he participated in the training camp, he didn't have time to come out and get involved in this matter. Therefore, in order not to delay the matter, he wrote the script early and handed it to me, so that I could contact the American side for him when he had no way to come forward. ”

"It was just as he expected, around June, Paramount called him, and then, with his introduction, our company got in touch with the U.S. side. After that, I prepared him in advance, and then called me several times and asked me to help hand over the revised script to Paramount. ”

"After that, ......." (To be continued......)
