Chapter 227: The February Miracle
"How's the movie, is it good?" Kim Taeyeon struggles with her tiredness by opening her eyes, she now has more announcements than Lim Yoon-a, and if she receives more advertisements, she will become the number one money-sucking weapon of Girls' Generation. When Kim Taeyeon came back today, only Seo Hyun was reading in the dormitory, and she also knew that everyone else went to watch a movie invested by Lee Kyung-myung, so she just washed and went to bed without even cooking dinner, just to lose weight. Kim Taeyeon has symptoms of insomnia, and even if she falls asleep, she sleeps very lightly, and Kim Taeyeon is asleep, but as soon as the members come back, the sound immediately wakes her up.
"That's it." For the first time in these days, Jessica picked up Kim Taeyeon's words, causing the other members to look at her in surprise.
Jessica glanced around with a cold face, "You don't even need to rest so late?" ”
"Withdraw." Lin Yun'er, who was the most proficient in eyesight, quietly made a gesture to the others, everyone nodded knowingly, and they all yawned and went back to their rooms one by one, and Xu Xian, who had no eyesight, was also pulled away by Tiffany.
"Do you have something to tell me?" Kim Taeyeon's sleepiness disappeared immediately, she knew that Jessica had something to talk to about when she looked at this jiashi, and she also felt that the atmosphere in the team was very wrong these days, but Jessica's attitude was clear that she didn't want to deal with her, and she couldn't say anything.
Jessica nodded and motioned for Kim Taeyeon to sit on the sofa as well, "Private matters are private matters, I'm really sorry that I affected the other members and the group because of my personal affairs, I'm sorry." ”
"It's my problem, I shouldn't ......" Kim Taeyeon subconsciously wanted to take the responsibility on herself, just like she has always done.
"Don't be like this all the time, I'm tired of looking at it." Jessica interrupted, she would never blame others for what she said and did wrong, Kim Taeyeon and her affairs were just private matters, but now her face all day long did affect the rest of the Girls' Generation team. As a woman, Jessica doesn't like Kim Tae-yeon having thoughts about her boyfriend, but as a member of Girls' Generation. Kim Taeyeon's actions and responsibilities are very admirable.
Kim Taeyeon didn't speak and just looked at Jessica in confusion, she couldn't understand that Jessicaweishenme, who had always been proud, wanted to daoqian with her.
"It's been half a year since we debuted." Jessica said suddenly.
"Not yet, but soon." Kim Tae-yeon remembers every day after she became the captain of the nine girls, and every day is important to her.
"But the members are not ready to be a real artist, they are too scattered, including me." Jessica's expression was serious, and the future of all of them was at stake.
Kim Taeyeon shook her head, "It's not for us to decide, they are all independent people, and there are some things that can only be taught to them by growing up itself." ”
"Why is your tone so OPPA-like?" Jessica raised an eyebrow again. Kim Tae-yeon's words are Lee Kyung-myung's style in both tone and content.
"That's what OPPA told me." Kim Taeyeon is very frank, there is nothing to hide. Kim Taeyeon was also confused about the current situation of the group before asking Lee Kyung-myung, she is different from Jessica and is the real captain of Girls' Generation, so Lee Kyung-myung talked a lot about her.
Jessica's face puffed up in an instant, "You still talk a lot?" Jessica was a little angry that Lee Kyung-myung hadn't once mentioned to her that Kim Taeyeon was on the phone with him.
"There were only two times, and I took the initiative to hit them." Kim Taeyeon saw that Jessica was uncomfortable, she herself was not the kind of woman who would use means, so she helped Lee Kyung-myung explain, and someone else would have used this opportunity to provoke a long time ago. I can't wait to let Jessica and Li Jingming fall out.
"I'm telling you this because I'm leaving for the weekend, going back to the United States, and you're going to have to take care of everything here." Jessica glanced at Kim Taeyeon, the feat singer of Lee Kyung-myung's new song. The promotional activities on the U.S. side have been arranged, and S.M is also very cheerful, compared to the new album of Girls' Generation in South Korea, it is still important to work on the U.S. side, and they are eager to open up the European and American markets before giving Jessica a release.
"Oh." Kim Taeyeon thought Jessica was warning herself. However, she envied Jessica, who could sing on a bigger stage and stay with Li Jingming all day. Lee Kyung-myung asked Kim Taeyeon to learn English hard, she has always kept it in mind and is really taking action, and Lee Kyung-myung has no other requirements for her. There is only one word "tune". Lee Jingming wants Kim Taeyeon to sing English songs instead of letting her apply to American universities, so vocabulary is not important, grammar norms are not important, as long as the mouth can have an American flavor, anyway, the lyrics of a song are not much and are easy to learn, the main thing is to sing it with an authentic American Feel.
As soon as the weekend arrived, Jessica really left, the song "Lucky" has been released with good results, the first week of the airborne billboard ranked seventh, it seems that there is no "I Am Yours" good results but Li Jingming is very happy, this time there are no four major records to build momentum for him, simply relying on his own popularity to get this result, if you have to say that it is mixed with other factors, it is "Juno".
The release of "Juno" caused a lot of repercussions, unlike the previous life, which only had eight movie theaters for trial screening, Li Jingming's "Juno" was screened in 500 theaters at the same time, and it was a miracle that it won 14 million US dollars at the box office in the first week as an independent film, and basically all the money invested by Li Jingming came back in a week. The investment in "Juno" is 10 million US dollars and 2 million, and the production and distribution of this film is almost single-handedly handled by Guangguo Pictures, and Li Jingming does not need to share the money with others, but just owes some favors to the Chicago consortium.
The Sundance Film Festival Jury Award and Li Jingming's scandal strategy have always attracted a lot of attention under the effect of "Juno", and the quality of the film itself is very good, retaining the audience and creating word-of-mouth, so Li Jingming's success has become inevitable. "Juno" has the unique literary atmosphere and ideological connotation of independent films, which has caused a great sensation among American audiences, especially young audiences, and is a film that defends tradition from the perspective of anti-tradition, which is of great reference significance for the current social reality in the United States. The media and online have received rave reviews for "Juno", and 94 percent of Rotten Tomatoes critics have a fresh opinion of it.
Allan? Peggy once again won great acclaim with "Juno", her acting skills are on a higher level than during the "Hard Candy" period, and she is no worse than those old actors who have been in Hollywood for many years. Countless companies have become interested in her. Among them, the innovative talent agency, the well-known CAA company, is the most interested and competitive, and they hope to sign the new Hollywood aristocracy, the "little princess" who has been widely recognized. Allan? Peggy hasn't given an answer to the other party yet, in fact, she is waiting for the final results of "Juno" to come out before bidding, which is Li Jingming's opinion. Li Jingming is very confident in the performance of "Juno", even if Allen? If Peggy really wants to sign with CAA, she should wait for the results of zuihou to come out, and an Oscar nomination for Best Actress is enough for Alan? Peggy's worth has doubled.
Li Jingming's investment in "Juno" is something that the whole United States knows, so Li Jingming's own attention has also increased a lot with the results of the movie. It sold a furious 66,000 copies in the first week, and this is a single album. Online download sales are better than album sales, thanks to the role of ITunes and Facebook, Li Jingming has only released two singles in the United States but his popularity is already very high, and his status in the North American music industry has reached the point of quasi-first-line.
Li Jingming brought Jessica here so that Jessica could show his face in the United States, if he was someone else, everything he did would be meaningless, but fortunately, S.M Company was more face-saving, or Kim Yingmin was more face-saving. Kim Young-min just wanted to disgust Lee so-man, when Lee so-man was busy with Bao'er's entry into the United States. Jessica of the Girls' Generation in his hands has already taken the giant ship of Li Jingming to ride the wind and waves, even if S.M does not make too many economic benefits in it, he is very happy.
"Why do you feel that your English is not as good as mine, is it because you haven't been home for a long time and your language is unfamiliar?" Li Jingming was chatting with Jessica behind the stage, and he was tired enough to choke after a performance. Although he sings slowly, his character of striving for perfection makes him not a little lazy, and singing is a very laborious thing.
Jessica blushed a little, she was not unfamiliar with the language but was frightened by the momentum, and the popularity of Girls' Generation was still crushed by Wondergirls. They had never seen a scene like today's. Tens of thousands of people in the audience chanted Li Jingming's name together, and Jessica was a little worried while being happy and proud, afraid that she would mess up Li Jingming's stage. Jessica's stage phobia has only subsided, but it has not improved, and her singing voice is a little shaky under her nervousness just now. Fortunately, Li Jingming found out in time and held her hand and helped her get through the difficulties.
Jessica didn't be lazy and slippery today, and tried her best to sing this song "Lucky", although it is not the kind of feeling that this song should have, but this is a live singing or an open-air performance, not too much, as long as the atmosphere is enough, she completed the task perfectly, but zuihou Li Jingming let her say a few words, which made her very entangled, zuihou squeezed for a long time before squeezing out a sentence: "I love Los Angeles ......"
"It's okay, we're going to stay in the U.S. for at least a month, sing and behave well." Li Jingming wiped Jessica's sweat, it was easy to catch a cold when sweating so much in winter, he could see Jessica's intentions, half moved and half distressed, and asked, "Do you want to go back and have a look recently?" ”
"Go back?" Jessica blinked, "You mean ......"
"San Francisco, where you were born." Li Jingming shrugged, he had long wanted to take some photos of the old house for Jessica as a surprise, but he didn't know the road at all, so he could only wait for Jessica to lead the way. (To be continued......)
