"Where? Paris? Suddenly hearing the news that Li Xiuman said, Li Jingyuan was inevitably stunned for a while.

The family concert is the company's annual highlight, and it stands to reason that Li Jingyuan shouldn't be ignorant. After all, he has been in the company for several years, and he is the highest-level boss, so he must be notified of such an important matter.

But in fact, Li Jingyuan is completely unclear about these things. First, because Li Xiuman is staring, Li Xiuman can make up his mind about all things related to the family concert, even if there is a problem, it has been solved by reporting to Li Xiuman, so naturally there is no need to trouble Li Jingyuan, the final boss. Second, it is because Li Jingyuan himself does not care about these things. He has never offered to participate in the family concert, and when the people in the company see him with such an attitude, they will naturally not take the initiative to come to the door to touch the nails.

I don't care much about the concert, so naturally I won't know too much news. Lee Kyung-won thought that this year's family concert would be held in South Korea as in previous years, so he was a little surprised after hearing the news that Lee so-man said.

Of course, he didn't be surprised for too long, because in the short muttering, Li Jingyuan had already turned out the memories brought by the time crossing out of his mind. At this time, he had already vaguely remembered that the family concert held by S.m in 2011 was indeed different from the previous one—it was not a complete event, but several consecutive performances in several places, which could already be regarded as a 'tour' nature.

Li Jingyuan was rummaging through his memories without saying a word. Li Xiuman heard that he didn't speak, and thought he was questioning such an arrangement.

After all, he is the big boss behind the scenes, if Li Jingyuan is not satisfied with the plan decided at this stage. That's going to be a bit of a hassle. The most serious situation is that Li Jingyuan relied on his own power to veto the existing plan in his own opinion, resulting in the company having to make new arrangements and plans.

In order not to make things more troublesome, Li Xiuman quickly explained and made the specific planning of the concert clear: "Actually, this year's family concert will be held in a total of four venues in Seoul, Tokyo, Paris and New York. ”

"According to our plan. Tokyo will be the first stop, just a week later, and Paris will be the second. It will be a week later than Tokyo Station. Next is New York, followed by Seoul, with a gap of a week in between. ”

"Jing Yuan, are you listening?" Li Jingyuan still didn't speak. Li Xiuman finally couldn't help but ask directly.

"Oooh. Listening, listening. Uncle Man, you say. Being asked by Li Xiuman, Li Jingyuan came back to his senses and hurriedly responded.

From Li Jingyuan's tone, he knew that he was distracted. Why are you distracted? Li Xiuman felt more and more that he was not satisfied with the arrangement of the concert. Worried, Li Xiuman simply put it aside and asked, "Jing Yuan, do you have any opinions on the current arrangement?" ”

"No, no." Where does Li Jingyuan have any opinions, he is just simply distracted. After hearing the meaning of Li Xiuman's words, he quickly explained: "Uncle Man." You misunderstood, I don't have any opinion, I'm just shocked. Hehe, I really didn't expect that this year's scene would be so big. Tsk, it seems that our company is getting more and more powerful~! ”

As soon as Li Jingyuan said this, Li Xiuman knew that he was not questioning the arrangement of the concert. Letting go of that little worry, Li Xiuman's mood also relaxed, and then he said with a smile: "You kid, you didn't speak just now, I thought you were not satisfied with the current arrangement~." ”

"How can there be~. Uncle Man, I couldn't be more satisfied now. Li Jingyuan is very smart, and as soon as he heard Li Xiuman's words, he knew what kind of tangled thoughts Li Xiuman had because of his reaction. Feeling a little sorry and a little embarrassed, he could only laugh a few times dryly, and said flatteringly: "Isn't this coming to Paris, hehe, it's no better for me, Uncle Man, you are old and wise~!" ”

"Am I wise? Hehe, do you listen to me? This is a good opportunity, Li Xiuman is an old fox-like figure, and immediately grabbed the tail of Li Jingyuan's words and asked again.

"Listen, of course."

"Alright then, you can also participate in the performance in Paris this time." hurriedly made a request, and in order not to let Li Jingyuan refuse, Li Xiuman continued before he gave an answer: "Anyway, you are in France now, even if you are not in Paris, it won't take much time to rush over." Counting the time on stage, it only takes one day at most. ”

"Don't tell me anything about 'you can't go on stage without practice', put it on someone else, and go straight to the stage without practice may indeed have the risk of making a mistake. But I know you're not the same kid, and it should be enough for you to spend an hour practicing two or three times, right? Anyway, it's not for you to perform any new shows, but with Jessica, "Cold Noodles" or "TroubleMaker", these two songs should be no problem for you, right? ”

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot, you're also fluent in English and French. The audience who goes to see the show in Paris is sure to be European, and they may not understand Korean, but they can certainly understand English or French, so you can also leave the atmosphere to you. ”

One didn't pay attention, and was caught by Li Xiuman and said a lot of words, and also assigned two tasks, after Li Jingyuan listened to this long list, his face showed a wry smile helplessly.

I had already responded to it just now, but now it seems that it is not good to say no more.

"Okay, okay, anyway, Uncle Man, you said it, can I still not listen?" Since it was not good to refuse again, Li Jingyuan simply admitted it generously.

"That's good." Hearing Li Jingyuan's words, Li Xiuman was obviously very satisfied, so he was in a good mood and gave compensation: "In this way, as soon as the performance at the Tokyo station is over, I will arrange for Jessica to go over to your side first......." ”

"Wait a minute. Uncle Man, there is one more thing. At this time, Li Jingyuan suddenly remembered what he had said on the phone with Jessica before. He interrupted Lee so-man's words first, and then continued, "If you can, let the FX kids come with Jessica." To tell you the truth, I called Jessica before, and she said that she should hurry up and practice with her sister, and I guess she might worry about not having enough time to practice by then. ”

"Huh? Did you call Jessica first? "Subconsciously, I want to count a few words. But in the next second, Li Xiuman remembered that it was not the ordinary idols in the S.m company on the other side, but Li Jingyuan, a guy who couldn't be taught. He simply gave up his intention to preach.

Of course, it's not that he won't say anything, after all, Li Jingyuan is also a 'foul', even if it's not good to lecture him. It's okay to fix him in the little things. That is, in front of Li Jingyuan. Li Xiuman occasionally behaves like an old child.

"Send the FX kids too? Well, it's not impossible, but it doesn't seem to be a good deal. ”

When Li Xiuman said that it is not cost-effective, he refers to the uneconomical cost. Generally speaking, after completing a performance, artists do not immediately go to the venue of the next concert, but return to Korea to practice while tidying up. I won't leave again until two or three days before the concert.

The reason for this is to save money. After all, there will be a week between the two concerts, and this week will be spent in a hotel at the outside bakery. The cost is not small, relatively speaking, it is more cost-effective to go back to South Korea for a few days to rest.

It does cost a lot of money to stay in a hotel with everyone, but if it's just an FX group, it's nothing. It's obviously too little to spend less, but Li Xiuman is so calculating, is he obviously deliberately raising the bar, how could Li Jingyuan not hear it.

"Can't I cover the expenses? Uncle Man, you are really, why did you suddenly become so picky. ”

"It's not about the cost." Obviously, if you want to say no, it's a rare opportunity to tease Li Jingyuan once, Li Xiuman is still energetic, only to hear him continue to say: "This is the rule." Not only is this not the time to take a vacation, but it is also the most critical time, and you must concentrate on it, even if you don't need me to say more, you should know it very well, right? Send people out casually, what if they go crazy? Of course, if it's a job requirement, that's another story. ”

It's not that he doesn't really agree, Li Xiuman is just deliberately selling off his appetite, in fact, as long as Li Jingyuan says a few more words, he will nod and agree to Li Jingyuan's request.

"......, then give them a job." What Li Xiuman didn't expect was that after listening to his words, Li Jingyuan did not continue to stalk, but groaned for a while, and gave an answer that Li Xiuman did not expect at all.

"Huh? What works? Let's talk about it. "As long as Li Jingyuan comes up with an idea, it will always bring a lot of benefits. For Li Xiuman, what Li Jingyuan said just now was undoubtedly an unexpected joy, and after some curiosity and surprise, he hurriedly asked.

"Isn't there four family concerts? In addition to Seoul Station, there are three countries to visit. Let the children of FX take a day or two out of each stop to shoot a show with the theme of promoting Hallyu or Korean culture, what do you think? ”

"Set tasks for the kids to do, and it's easy to make up the weight of the program. In addition, you can also draw one or two people from other groups for each shoot, or join the FX mission, or compete with them, which should also be a good attraction. ”

"Because it was in the name of promoting Hallyu, it was easy to work with TV stations. The three major TV stations may have a little trouble, but Mnet will definitely simply agree. Taking a step back, even if we don't have a TV station to work with, we can make the captured content into a DVD and sell it ourselves, and maybe the income will be a little less than if it was broadcast from a TV station, but from the numbers alone, the income should still be guaranteed. ”

The show that Li Jingyuan is talking about is "FX's Koala" that has appeared in history. Because it was broadcast on a cable station, the show's performance in the ratings was not too good. But if you calculate the income alone, it's not bad. After all, it is a program broadcast by a cable TV station, and there is a fee for watching it. In addition, there is advertising money or something, which is not a small amount when you add it up.

Now, one of the suggestions put forward by Li Jingyuan is one more than the original version: 'You can send members of other groups to participate in each issue'. Relatively speaking, it will definitely attract more viewers to watch the show.

Who watched "FX no Koala"? It's nothing more than two. One is FX fans, who will deliberately follow the shows where FX appears, while the other is simply to 'purify their eyes', and may not care about the identity of FX. As long as there is a lively and cute beautiful girl on the TV screen, these people will tune in.

Overall, it was the fans who contributed the most to the ratings. So. In the same way, if there are other groups of idols in the show, will they be able to attract their fans to watch the show? Obviously, the answer is yes.

Other than that. Members of other combinations were introduced. Whether it's a buffet or a duel, it will definitely make the show more interesting and beautiful than the original, which will also help increase the ratings.

In other words, as long as Lee Kyung-won's suggestion is adopted, the newly produced show will definitely bring more lucrative returns than the original "FX no Koala". Li Jingyuan is still very sure of this.

If you are sure in your heart, you will have confidence when you speak. Hearing his confidence from Li Jingyuan's words, Li Xiuman couldn't help but be infected by him. After thinking about it, he nodded in agreement.

"That's a good idea. So be it. You think about it first, come up with a plan as soon as possible, and I'll contact the TV station. ”

"Okay." Although it was a little troublesome to come up with a written plan, Li Xiuman was relieved. The matter of FX is not important, the key is that Jessica can come over smoothly first, thinking of this, Li Jingyuan did not say anything more.

Ending the call with Li Xiuman does not mean that Li Jingyuan can only be happy this time. After thinking about it, he made three more calls.

One is to call his subordinates who are responsible for taking care of the yacht.

There is still more than half a month to go before the 'S.m Family Concert in France', and Jessica will be there in eight or nine days. I finally got together with Jessica, and the location was still in France, the most romantic place in the world, even if Li Jingyuan usually made wood, he would definitely think of creating some romantic memories for Jessica.

The Eiffel Tower, the Arc de Triomphe, the Louvre, and the Shangri-Chés in Paris are all good places to visit, as well as the flowers of Provence, the exquisite buildings preserved from the Renaissance in Lyon, Nice, the most charming Gold Coast in Europe, Avignon, Mont Saint-Michel in Brittany, and Strasbourg across the Rhine from Germany.

No matter where you go, you will definitely have to go to the Mediterranean. Rather than renting someone else's yacht locally, Li Jingyuan still feels more comfortable on his own yacht. That's why he made a phone call to his men and asked them to get the boat ready first.

Some people may say, isn't it a bit too much trouble to drive a boat around the world?

In fact, it is not a hassle at all, and it can even be said to be just right. Li Jingyuan's yacht has been bought for a while, and it is time to send it back to the shipyard for maintenance. This time, he followed Jackie Chan's movie crew to France, thinking that he could keep an eye while he was there, so he asked people to drive the boat over early. In other words, the yacht is now in France, and he did not call to ask the ship to come from South Korea, but simply to ask the shipyard to speed up the progress of maintenance and overhaul.

The second call was to MBC's "We're Married" program team.

As long as Jessica comes to visit the film crew, she has to notify the program team and let them follow the filming of the special program of 'I knot', which has been agreed in advance. Now, when the time comes, Li Jingyuan will of course inform the other party.

When I got in touch with the program team, it was already half past eleven at night. There is no way to do this, after all, there is a big time difference between the two places, and when it is eight o'clock in the morning for Seoul, it is one o'clock at night on Lee Kyung-won's side.

People are living beings, not machines, and they don't just need to turn off the power. After saying something seriously, I will think about it for a while, and I will definitely not fall asleep immediately. Li Jingyuan can't get himself sleep deprived just to make a phone call, right? He still has a shooting assignment the next day, and it's an action scene, if he is injured because he doesn't rest well, it will be a big loss.

There are fixed staff on duty in MBC, and there are also some PDs who stay to watch the editing work, including a PD of the 'I knot' program group. After receiving Li Jingyuan's call, this PD immediately replied excitedly.

Originally, I just wanted to shoot Jackie Chan in the "I Knot" program, but listening to Li Jingyuan, it seems that he can still shoot some scenes from the S.m family concert, which is equivalent to another big attraction. With the availability of what you want, and unexpected giveaways, it's no surprise that PDs are excited.

After contacting MBC, there was a third call, and the last one. It's for Jessica.

I have just said that let her wait, this will sort things out almost completely, and of course Li Jingyuan will not forget to make Jessica happy. (To be continued......)
