Chapter 33: Participation

The next morning was Sunday, there was nothing important in the company, and Cui Zhengyuan had a rare opportunity to sleep in. It's a pity that this extravagant wish was ruined, and the two little guys, Choi Si Won and Choi Ji Won, rushed in, jumped and jumped on his bed, and woke up even if there was a big sleep.

It turned out that Cui Zhengyuan had promised them that he would take them out to play on weekends. There are so many things that I forget about them in my hectic life. Growing up in such a family, it was difficult to go out in normal times, so they always remembered their cousin's promise and waited for Saturday with joy.

The poor two little guys waited at home for a day yesterday, but Cui Zhengyuan first went to Jiangbei to discuss the MV with Guo Zairong. Later, he drank with Liu Zaishi and them, and when he got home, he was drunk, and with the fatigue of this period of time, he fell asleep all of a sudden.

Although Cui Siyuan and Cui Zhiyuan wanted to go out and play, they also knew that their cousin was too tired from work, so they had to endure it and didn't bother him. This morning, they couldn't wait any longer, so they rushed in and pulled him out of bed.

Cui Zhengyuan shook his head after a hangover, and tried to wake up before he remembered this incident. Since it was he who didn't fulfill his promise, of course he had to compensate them well. Seeing that the time was already nine o'clock, jumped out of bed. Let them go to breakfast first, and he will go down after he washes up.

By the time he took a shower and changed his clothes, Cui Siyuan and Cui Zhiyuan had already finished eating and were waiting for him boredly. Seeing that his cousin finally came down, Cui Zhiyuan patted the table and said dissatisfiedly: "Cousin is really, a big man is so slow, how can he find a girlfriend in the future"?

When a child loses his temper, Cui Zhengyuan will not be as knowledgeable as her. Seeing that there were just two of them at the table, grandpa and grandma were not there. When I asked, I found out that today was the weekend, and the old man went to the church for worship.

It's interesting to say, the people of the Cui family are basically believers in Christianity, except for Cui Zhengyuan. This guy is too influenced by the ideas of the proletariat and is an outright atheist. Even if he encountered such a miracle as crossing over, he only thought that it was a supernatural phenomenon, not the action of a god.

After taking a sip of porridge to warm up his empty stomach a little, Cui Zhengyuan asked, "Where are you going to play today?" Is it a playground or going shopping"? Today the two children are the protagonists, and of course follow their meaning.

Cui Siyuan crooked his mouth, distressed, "The playground is boring, we have been there many times, and there has been little change there for so many years."

"That's it, we've all played what it's time to play. It's not fun to buy things, you have everything you need, and you don't know what to buy", Cui Zhiyuan agreed. She's only 12 years old now, and she doesn't yet understand the pleasures of a woman's shopping spree.

"You can eat a lot of good things when you go shopping," Choi Jeong-won suggested. Children are generally attracted to the mention of good food and fun.

"Cut, what's delicious about those things, grandparents won't let us eat them indiscriminately", Cui Siyuan looked impatient.

Although the street snacks have their own characteristics, the sanitary environment is not so perfect, and the elders of the Cui family do not allow children to eat outside. Think of them going out to play, and the accompanying bodyguards will definitely report their whereabouts. If he knew that they were doing this, it would be Cui Zhengyuan who was unlucky. Who made him an older brother, if he can't take care of his younger brothers and sisters, his grandfather will definitely take him under the knife.

"Yes, cousin, let's go play in your company." Cui Zhiyuan seemed to think of something fun, and suddenly jumped up and grabbed Cui Zhengyuan's arm.

"What's fun in the company, it's messy". The renovation of A.P's new building is nearing completion, and the main part has been completed except for the finishing details of zuihou.

At present, the whole company is moving, and a large number of people are coming in and out every day, moving various instruments and equipment. The corridor was babbling all day long, the dust was fluttering, and people walked through it, and their bodies were like being covered with flour, and their respiratory tracts were choked uncomfortably. He doesn't have anything important, and he doesn't usually go to the company.

Cui Siyuan also wrapped himself around his neck and hugged him, "Cousin, you can take us there." We want to see those big stars, and by the way, we want two autographs, okay"?

Pull the two octopuses down and press them down to a chair and sit down. Cui Zhengyuan spread out his hands, shrugged his shoulders, and said helplessly: "Those stars are very busy, and I can't see a few of them."

"One is good, we just have to meet one". Cui Zhiyuan stretched out his index finger very seriously and gestured to "one".

Looking at Cui Siyuan's equally hopeful eyes, Cui Zhengyuan asked curiously: "Who are you talking about, it's worth not even wanting delicious and fun food?"

"Kim Jong Kook, Kim Jong Kook, Kim Jong Kook, Kim Jong Kook", the two little ones jumped down from their chairs, waving their arms and cheering loudly. Fortunately, the elders are not at home today, otherwise they will definitely have their butts blooming.

"Oh, it turned out to be Brother Zhong Guo." Cui Zhengyuan lengthened his voice and deliberately hung their appetites.

"Wow, cousin, are you very familiar with Zhong Guo oppo"? Sure enough, the two little ones immediately leaned in. Cui Zhiyuan grabbed his hand tightly and asked nervously.

"Of course it's familiar, we drank together yesterday," Choi Jung-won boasted. I didn't expect Kim Jong Kook to be so popular, and even people born in such a family were his fans. Cui Zhengyuan has more confidence in his prospects.

"Really, is Kim Jong Kook also a man when he drinks"? Choi Si Won asked very gossipingly.

In his mind, a muscular man like Kim Jong Kook must also drink in a big cup, no matter how much wine he has, he can drink it all. It's a pity that the fact is that Kim Jong Kook will definitely lie down if he drinks more than half a catty of soju. Of course, Cui Zhengyuan will not say it, which will shatter the idol in the hearts of the two little guys.

Seeing Cui Zhengyuan's hesitant appearance, the two children immediately launched the coquettish magic skill, and relied on him unrelentingly, "Cousin, you can take us there." As you said, you will grant us everything you want today."

There was no way to be entangled, so Cui Zhengyuan had no choice but to agree to them. Seeing that it had succeeded, the two little ones clapped their hands at each other and shouted loudly for long live their cousin.

"Don't be too happy too early, I'll find out about Brother Zhong Guoge's itinerary first." Choi Jung-won called his assistant and asked where Kim Jong Kook was. The assistant has the schedule of all the artists in the company, so that Cui Zhengyuan can consult and make corresponding work arrangements at any time.

The assistant told him that yesterday when they were drinking, Guo Jae-yong had already set up the crew for filming the MV. Early this morning, all the relevant personnel have left for the company's studio in Goyang, Gyeonggi-do.

Guo Zairong seems to be silent, but his efficiency is quite fast. I don't want to think about what effort it can take for a big director like Guo Zairong to write a MV plot of more than three minutes. The crew was already preparing for the filming of "My Sassy Girlfriend", and it was enough to temporarily transfer some people.

After drinking the porridge in a few sips, Cui Zhengyuan beckoned: "Let's go, as you wish." Let's set off to see Brother Zhong Guo."

"Hooray, go". The brother and sister followed behind in a hurry.

Cui Zhengyuan did not only take the two little ones to go, but asked the assistant to prepare a large amount of food and nutritional products, and loaded a full car to follow.

The staff were already tired from their original work, and now they have temporarily increased their workload, and there will definitely be complaints in private. Doing so can be regarded as a little bit of the company's heart.

Of course, the money spent goes from the company's account. Although he also has money, if he does that, he will be suspected of buying people's hearts. Especially when Kim Young-min is away, it is too sensitive to do so. It is easy to cause misunderstandings between the two people, which will bring rifts to the cooperation.

Born in a powerful family, he has intelligence and intelligence, which makes Cui Zhengyuan seem a little unruly. But he has always been very cautious and cautious in his work, and he does not dare to take a step beyond Lei Chi. This is the experience he has summed up for many years in the workplace, and it is also the key to his success in stepping into the top level in his previous life.

Without letting the assistant inform the venue, Choi Jung-won's motorcade arrived quietly. The person in charge of the security work of this studio is a local employee, and I have not met Cui Zhengyuan and others. found that a stranger came in, and the person in charge hurriedly greeted him and asked. Knowing that it was the executive who drove in person, the person in charge was shocked, and he wanted to go in to inform him.

Cui Zhengyuan estimated that the filming had already begun, so in order not to disturb the work inside, he hurriedly stopped him. took Cui Siyuan and Cui Zhiyuan, told them not to make noise, and the three of them quietly came to the studio like a devil entering the village.

It is said to be a studio, but it is actually more similar to a large warehouse. It's just that the seal is better, and you can't see the inside from any angle on the outside. Moreover, it is specially equipped with insulation materials and heating pipes, just for the purpose of shooting in winter.

When you enter the shooting site, you can see the entire environment at a glance. A large group of staff members gathered around and were filming a single shot of Kim Jong Kook.

Accompanied by the music of "Cute", I saw Kim Jong Kook dancing a cute dance, his mouth opening and matching the beat of the music. Under Guo Zairong's order, the lighting, track, photography, scene notes, audio and video and other staff all performed their duties and became busy.

Director Guo Da sat behind the monitor, looking focused. Although the MV is very simple, his attitude towards work is not slack, and striving for perfection is already his nature.

Next to him was Han Sung-ho, watching Kim Jong-kook's dance moves while looking at the monitor. He is the main producer of Kim Jong Kook's album, and he is responsible for all the production links, so of course he has to follow.

It seems that the shooting is going well, Cui Zhengyuan and they have been in for a while, and there has not been a single NG situation.

He was carefully observing the work in the field and was tapped on the shoulder. Turning his head to look, Cui Siyuan's eyes lit up, leaned next to his ear, and said excitedly: "Brother, that beauty is so beautiful, look at her expression, so cute."

Following Cui Siyuan's guidance, I saw a beautiful woman in her early twenties sitting on the steps far behind Guo Zairong, who was watching the shooting scene intently, and swaying to the music. The delicate little face, fair skin, plump lips pouting unconsciously, the delicate nose is one by one with the breathing, Weimi's eyes are always smiling, and the two curved willow eyebrows are just right. Sure enough, just like Cui Siyuan said, it was cute.

This girl is known to Cui Zhengyuan, and he recommended her to appear here.

Liu Renna, a junior trainee in the singer trainee department of A.P Company. Before, Han Sung-ho said that he needed a heroine with a cute appearance who could match with Kim Jong Kook.

Originally, according to Han Chenghao's meaning, he was looking for a famous actress, and he could use her fame to hype the popularity of the album in advance. Choi Jung-won felt that there was no need, Kim Jong Kook's own fame was enough. Coupled with the quality of the album, it is already guaranteed that it will achieve good results.

Looking for a famous actress is purely a matter of adding to the snake. And there is no suitable one within the company, so you can only find it from the outside. The problem is that no matter which star comes to star in this MV, it will definitely get a lot of attention, and Cui Zhengyuan will not do it when it comes to the matter of fat and water flowing into outsiders' fields.

After going through the company's information, Cui Zhengyuan recommended Liu Renna.

She has just come of age, and with a baby face, she looks like a junior high school student at first glance, which meets the standard of cuteness. It's just that the age is in line with it, and it's very suitable to cooperate with Kim Jong Kook to make loveline. In addition, letting her star in this MV can be regarded as increasing her popularity in advance, and when she debuts in a group with Lee Ji-hyun and Park Jung-ah in the future, she can get a lot of help.

Cui Zhengyuan made a silent gesture and signaled his cousin to be quiet. Cui Siyuan also realized that what he had just done was wrong, so he quickly shrank his head and stopped talking. As for Choi Ji-won, all his attention was on Kim Jong Kook, and he had already ignored other conditions.

It wasn't until the music stopped that Guo Jaerong shouted CUT and announced a half-hour break before filming the next content.

As soon as the work status was over, someone immediately discovered the existence of Cui Zhengyuan and the three. As an employee of the company, this person has seen the general manager, so he hurriedly saluted and said hello. The people in the venue were silently packing up their equipment, and although they were busy, there was no sound, so they all heard the sound of talking. When they saw that the boss was coming, they hurriedly stepped forward to say hello.

Cui Zhengyuan responded one by one, saying that in order to comfort everyone's hard work, the company bought some food and nutritional products and asked them to get them. Sure enough, the employees who were originally a little resentful about this temporary work were also happy to hear that the company took care of everyone so well.

Sending these people away, Cui Zhengyuan walked to the monitor and asked with a smile, "How is it, is the shooting still going well"?

Han Chenghao hurriedly beckoned them to sit down and said, "It's not bad, Zhong Guo is also experienced." In addition, our director Guo Da personally went out, and it was not easy to catch it. It's progressing very fast and is expected to be over in two days."

Guo Zairong nodded in approval. When it comes to matters outside of his job, he has very few words.

Kim Jong Kook slapped Choi Jung-won twice on the back, "Jeong-won, why do you have time to come over?" Cui Zhengyuan was very happy to come to visit in person. Hard work is valued by the boss, and everyone will be gratified.

Cui Zhengyuan pointed to the two children and said helplessly: "It's not these two little ghosts, clamoring to see you." Speaking, I will introduce Choi Si Won and Choi Ji Won to everyone.

The Cui family's tutor is very good, and in front of outsiders, the two of them don't dare to mess around, and respectfully greet everyone, full of little gentleman and little lady demeanor. Seeing Cui Zhengyuan with them, everyone guessed that it might be a relative of the Cui family, and they all praised them for being polite.

Kim Jong Kook was the happiest, and when he heard that the boss's children were his fans and wanted his own autograph, he immediately found two large pieces of hard paper, wrote words of blessing on them, and took a photo with them.

They were lively here, and Guo Zairong sat alone on the side, staring at Cui Zhengyuan all the time, with a thoughtful expression.

Feeling Guo Zairong's gaze, Cui Zhengyuan asked, "Brother Rong, is there anything wrong?"

Hearing Cui Zhengyuan ask, everyone looked at Guo Zairong.

With his right hand clenched into a fist and a cough in his mouth, Guo Zairong said his thoughts, "I saw the executive just now, I think it's better to modify the next part of the shooting."

Han Sung-ho knew what was going to happen and asked, "Oh, is there anything wrong with Zhong Guo and Yoo In-na's part?"

"It's not inappropriate, it's just that I have more ideas, and I can refer to you when I say it. Before that, I have to ask the general manager for his opinion," Guo said.

During the filming process, it is not uncommon to change the original jihua because of a sudden idea. Everyone is accustomed to it, but they are very curious about the new ideas of a big director like Guo Zairong.

"Oh, does it have anything to do with me? You'll have to listen to that." Hearing Guo Zairong name himself, Cui Zhengyuan replied.

Knowing that Cui Zhengyuan would ask this, Guo Zairong said with a smile: "Executive, are you interested in making a cameo."

"Me, cameo? Is that okay"? Choi Jeong-won asked, pointing to his nose. In his previous life, he supervised a lot of MVs, but when it comes to starring, it was really the first time a big girl was on a sedan chair, and it was very fresh. Fortunately, he has been engaged in this kind of work for a long time, and he has no fear of facing the camera, but his acting skills are a little shallow. Being able to produce haode creativity does not mean that it can be performed well.

"Why not, you are so handsome, it must be no problem. Besides, the plot is very simple, there are no lines, it's easy". Guo Zairong became more and more firm in his thoughts, and said demagoguously.

"Is it really possible"? Cui Zhengyuan was still a little unconfident, and asked the people around him.

Han Chenghao supported Guo Zairong's proposal, "I think it's okay, Zhengyuan, you will also release an album in a while, this time you should practice in advance." When you shoot the MV, you won't be in a hurry because you don't have experience."

"Oh, Jeongwon, are you going to make your debut as a singer too"? Kim Jong Kook asked in surprise.

Choi Jung-won's preparation for the release of "The Cup of Life" is only known to Kim Young-min, Han Sung-ho and himself, and has not yet been announced to the public. So when Kim Jong Kook heard it at first glance, he was surprised.

"Wow, oppo, are you going to be a star too? I thought you and Grandpa were talking casually," Cui Zhiyuan exclaimed.

Before, at the dinner table at home, Choi Jung-won carefully proposed his debut jihua. I thought it would be strongly obstructed, and I prepared a lot of rhetoric. Who knew that the elders of the family were unexpectedly open-minded and did not raise any objections. Just tell him to clean himself and not get involved with those messy women.

This is really a piece of cake for Cui Zhengyuan, who has been in the entertainment industry for many years, and he is fully confident that he can do it. Brother and sister Choi Si-won and Choi Ji-won were also present at the time, but the children didn't pay attention to work, so they forgot about it.

Cui Zhengyuan tilted his head sideways, drew a "eight" on his chin with his right hand, and asked proudly: "How is it, is my brother very handsome?" Like not like the emperor superstar"?

"Hmph, stinky beauty". Little Cui Zhiyuan will not give in easily, wrinkling his nose and grimacing at him.

Seeing the cute expression of the little girl, a group of people laughed. Kim Jong Kook stroked her hair and said bitterly, "Wow, our Zhiyuan is so kawaii." was praised by the idol, the little girl lowered her head shyly, and her heart was happy.

After teasing the children, Kim Jong Kook asked, "Jeongwon, what is the debut song you prepared?"

"It's a song about football, in Latin style, and I'm going to release it in the United States in collaboration with Sony or Universal Records." Seeing that the people next to him were all high-level and close people in the company, and there was no problem of leaking secrets, Cui Zhengyuan told him frankly.

"It's amazing to be able to release a song in the U.S. with such confidence, and you must give me a sneak peek when you have time." Asian singers will not easily enter the European and American markets, because of ethnic and cultural issues, it is generally difficult to achieve haode results in the European and American music circles. Choi Jung-won is just starting out, and he is ready to land on the shijie market, and if he doesn't have super confidence in the songs, he is crazy. Obviously, with Kim Jong Kook's understanding of him, it cannot be the latter.

"You'll have to wait until you're done, it's still early. When the terms of cooperation are negotiated, it will be after June next year at least."

After saying this, Cui Zhengyuan turned to Guo Zairong, "Brother Zairong, you can tell me about the next plot, it's no problem for me to act." Since everyone is optimistic about him starring, Cui Zhengyuan is no longer hypocritical, anyway, such things are inevitable in the future, so it is better to start with a simple cameo.

"Okay, then I'll tell you what I think", Guo Zairong turned around and waved to Liu Renna, who was sitting in the distance, and motioned for her to come over.

"Hello to the president, hello to the director, hello to the director, hello to the seniors", Liu Renna trotted forward and saluted everyone one by one. I have to say, her eyes are excellent. Sitting there bored, but all the time paying attention to the people talking and laughing here. Looking at the young man who had faintly become the center in the crowd, she had already guessed that it was the legendary sixteen-year-old executive in the company. If you were someone else, it would be impossible to enter and leave the filming location at will, and you could still be so flattered by big names such as Han Sung-ho, Kwak Jae-yong and Kim Jong-kook.

"Well, hello, are you still used to it in the company? If there is anything difficult, you can report it directly to me." Liu Renna is a member of the alternate girl group personally selected by Cui Zhengyuan, and he has a good impression of this late-blooming girl, so he said to her with a pleasant face.

"No, no, the company is very good, it takes good care of us, there is nothing dissatisfied, thank you for your concern". Liu Renna replied respectfully and distantly.

Although the company is indeed much better to them than other places, gray things in the entertainment industry are still inevitable. The current young man in front of her is the age of lust and Mu Shaoai, so proactive and close, she is afraid that the other party will have some bad thoughts about her.

In her previous life, if she could put down her figure and self-esteem and climb into someone else's bed, it would definitely not be difficult for her to get the opportunity to debut with her capital. The reason why she has been stumbling for many years is because she is firm in heart and insists on herself.

She didn't know that when the company's trainees took their first monthly exam. If it weren't for the standing hand-picked in front of her, she would have been dismissed and embarked on the road of tossing and turning in her previous life.

In Liu Renna's body, the phrase "God is fair" is vividly embodied. God gave her the most haode appearance she could have as a woman, but deprived her of her talent in singing and dancing. According to the words of the teacher in the trainee department, there is no hope of making her debut as a singer at all. A simple dance move that others can learn in three hours, but it takes her three days to do it. And she also has a big problem, that is, she is on crutches and often trips herself up.

The most terrifying thing is her voice, which often breaks. As soon as the high pitch soars, a duck voice will appear, and the movement is not an ordinary thunderous person. The teachers were puzzled, and Weishenme, a person who had no hope at all, would stay strongly, and take care of them to train her to the best of her ability.

Fortunately, the little girl can bear hardships and stand hard work, and is willing to spend effort to study. She knows that her talent is not as good as others, so she will spend several times more time training than others. Diligence can make up for clumsiness, and her strength is still making slight progress. According to Cui Zhengyuan's debut plan for her, she will almost be able to barely meet the requirements for her debut after two years.

In fact, the reason why Cui Zhengyuan chose Liu Renna so firmly was because of her appearance. In the entertainment industry where there are so many beautiful women, Liu Renna is also the most outstanding one. She is beautiful and cute, and she blends the two just right. As beautiful as she is not as cute as she is, and as cute as she is not as beautiful as she is. This is her biggest capital, and it is also the foundation of her future foothold.

In the early days of her future debut, Cui Zhengyuan arranged for her to have some saliva songs that have been tested by history and become popular, and they are also equipped with some simple dances. The song is very popular, and it is not too difficult, which can not only bring them fame, but also let her control it. After the accumulation of time and her strength has improved, she will arrange some powerful songs for their group, and she will be able to make up for the shortcomings with experience.

Looking at the deep vigilance in her eyes, Cui Zhengyuan certainly knew what it meant. Rubbing his nose depressedly, he stopped talking to her, so as not to deepen the misunderstanding.
