Section 1391 There are changes after the plan
At the very beginning, it was just because I wanted to meet my friends earlier, so I accidentally sent a text message with something wrong with the content. In general, at the beginning, Li Jingyuan only had a little idea, and he didn't think about making things bigger.
However, the situation of 'the reality is different from the plan' always happens from time to time in the world, and what Li Jingyuan didn't expect was that a few days later, the incident caused by a text message because of him was so big that it was on the news of major TV stations.
In the past few days, what has gone wrong that has caused things to change uncontrollably?
Here's how the whole thing started and ended.
First, Li Jingyuan got permission from the team leader, and then began to contact his friends in the entertainment industry.
After getting Li Jingyuan's invitation, except for a very small number of artists who were far away from performing abroad and couldn't come back, the vast majority of artists who received his call readily agreed to come to the contestants' village to participate in the performance and party organized and planned by Li Jingyuan.
What is a little surprising is that not only the artists agreed to be happy, but also the various brokerage companies were also very happy when they released it. Although the shareholders of these companies all wish that their artists would go to the itinerary 24 hours a day to make money, they also knew that when Li Jingyuan gave the reason of 'congratulating the players returning from the competition', even if the artists who were named and invited had any important schedules, they could only move backwards. After all, this is a 'great righteousness'. Just like when the Ministry of Defense appoints artists to go to the army for a condolence performance, if you don't agree, then wait to be condemned by the whole people.
It is precisely because the artist and the agency are very crisp on both sides. So even if it's just a little time, it's enough to prepare for the performance.
In fact, when it comes to preparation, there is not much to prepare, and the programs that the artists want to perform have already been practiced to the point of being ripe, and the stage built for the performance. There's no need to be as flashy as a big concert. In Li Jingyuan's view, anyway, the audience is only the players and coaches in the players' village, as well as relatives and friends who come to visit the players and coaches. The number of people is not very large either. If the stage is really too gorgeous, then the distance between the artists standing on the stage and the audience sitting under the stage will be too alienated. Rather than that, it is better to make the formality like a graduation party on campus. It's a little simpler in form. However, it can better shorten the distance between the performers and the audience, and the atmosphere on and off the stage will be more intimate and harmonious throughout the performance.
The stage doesn't need to be too big, there are many training halls in the athletes' village, and now it's a break period, all of them are empty, just find one to set up a platform in it; You don't have to change the background board, you can use it all in one piece. Even, hang a large curtain directly as a background; The lighting doesn't have to be flashy. As long as it is enough to light up the stage when it gets dark, so that the audience can see the people performing on the stage, it is enough, and even the lights that are already in the venue can be used; The only thing that needs to be high-grade to ensure quality is the sound system, after all, the people invited by Li Jingyuan to perform are all singers, and the most important part of the program they perform is 'voice', if you even deal with this part sloppily, it will be really insincere.
In short, Li Jingyuan's 'chief director's requirements for stage configuration are not high, and it can even be said that they are very low, even if they do not resort to the professional elites of the TV station, only using the internal manpower of S.m company, it is enough to be arranged by the stage in one day and meet Li Jingyuan's requirements.
Li Jingyuan sent the problematic text message at about 10 o'clock in the morning, communicated with the team leader, and started to contact the artists at 11 o'clock, and when some were deployed, S.m Company sent people to enter the athletes' village with equipment and equipment to start arranging the stage on the indoor sports field for training that Li Jingyuan had selected, and it was around 5 o'clock in the afternoon. Until this time, things were developing smoothly as Li Jingyuan expected.
The incident occurred around seven o'clock in the afternoon. At this point in time, the 'village head' of the athletes' village, which is the management department of the Taereung athletes' village under the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, suddenly received a notice.
I have already talked about the itinerary of the players after returning home. At the end of the Olympics on August 12, the athletes returned to South Korea at 8 a.m. on the 14th, two hours before Lee Kyung-won sent a text message. According to the plan, in the next three days on the 15th, 16th, and 17th, they will first be stationed in the athletes' village, and use the players' village as their base camp to go to several places to participate in some activities organized by the government. One of the most important of these events was the fact that I went to the Blue House on the afternoon of the 16th to receive a joint commendation from the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism and the President.
At 7 p.m. on the 14th, the content of the phone call received by the management office of the athletes' village was related to the matter of "going to the Blue House to receive commendations". In the phone call, the management office was informed that "you don't need to organize the athletes to come over on the afternoon of the 16th, and the president has decided that the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism will personally go to the athletes' village to commend the athletes."
Although it is only a change in location, the information in this is not simple. The reason given by the presidential secretary's phone call is that "because the Olympic delegates have won more honors than they had expected when they played, His Excellency the President and Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism agreed that the athletes must have done more than they expected during the training period." In this case, whether it is the players who have won medals or the players who have not won medals, they are worthy of praise and encouragement. If the award was given at the Blue House, the athletes who did not win medals would be embarrassed to come because they did not contribute, so His Excellency the President and Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism decided to visit them on an ad hoc basis. And change the location of the commendation to the athletes' village where the players are located. ’
Of course, these are all things that the presidential secretary said when he contacted the management office of the athletes' village, and they are all official articles. Let's not talk about how much authenticity there is. Anyway, no matter what, since the instructions have been conveyed above, the following must be followed, so the players have been notified of what kind of changes have happened to the itinerary on the 16th. And we also know the 'reasons' for these changes.
When the others heard that the president and the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism were going to take the initiative to come to the athletes' village, they were all like housewives who had watched a bloody drama, and they were all so moved. Only Li Jingyuan. After hearing the news, I felt a little headache and irritability.
The 16th was the day when the artists came to give a congratulatory performance to the contestants, and it was also the day when I finally got to meet Jessica and the rest of my friends. In the mind of Li Jingyuan, who has been separated from Jessica for four or five months, the importance of receiving the president's commendation is obviously lower.
It's not that Li Jingyuan doesn't know the importance of the road. He will have a very different mindset from others. It's just that he is in a different position than everyone else, and he looks at the matter of the 'presidential commendation' from a different angle.
First of all, it's because the current president is still Lee Myung-bak. For others, Lee Myung-bak may be a big man who is too high to have access to at all, but for Li Jingyuan, the young patriarch of the Li family, and the young patriarch who has gradually taken over the power of the family. Lee Myung-bak is not a big shot. At best, it's just an 'uncle' of a relative's family who mixes better 'outside'.
Two. It's because this 'Presidential Commendation' contains a very strong element of drama. It is important to know that starting from July, it is the time period for the presidential election to change the boundary, and during this time period, the various behaviors of politicians will definitely be more formal than usual, which is commonly known as 'superficial work'.
Lee Myung-bak was inaugurated on December 19, 2007, and although he is limited to South Korean law (a five-year term cannot be re-elected), he cannot be re-elected as president, but that does not mean that he does nothing. It is important to know that running for president should actually be said to be a struggle between parties. In other words, even if Lee Myung-bak himself is decided, he still has to use his activities in the last period of his term in office to win more points from the people for his party in the election campaign.
Obviously, taking the initiative to go to the athletes' village to commend the players is one of Lee Myung-bak's actions to fight for votes for his party. If it is more exaggerated, maybe he may still have the idea of 'selling a good job to Li Jingyuan and asking for help in the relationship with Lala'.
Of course, this is not to say that the 'presidential commendation' is not sincere at all, but the proportion of sincerity is a little less than people think.
It's just that Li Jingyuan's attitude was originally 'Even if you come wholeheartedly, I'm not uncommon, not to mention that you are not so sincere', so now that he gets the news, it is not incomprehensible that he will be upset.
Irritability is irritability, and things still have to be solved. After thinking about it, Li Jingyuan felt that he still had to make this call himself. If you communicate through the line of team leader, player village management office, and presidential secretary, it will be too troublesome and time-consuming, and the answer you get is likely to be 'nonsense~, let those artists go another day~'.
The invitation to the artist's friends was sent by Li Jingyuan, and the friends were willing to come, all of which gave Li Jingyuan face. In this case, Li Jingyuan didn't want his friends to be treated and even humiliated by the 'powerful' as 'irrelevant people', even if he couldn't see it.
And the so-called 'solution' does not mean that Lee Myung-bak should not come, or that he should come back on another day. Although it is not impossible to do this with Lee Kyung-won's strength, but if he does so, it will be tantamount to greatly losing the face of Lee Myung-bak and the party he represents (the player's village has already received a notice and informed that it will go down, and you will change your mind temporarily, plus it has already been changed once, hehe, where is the prestige of the president?). For Li Jingyuan, who has always adhered to the principle that more is better than less, it is completely inconsistent with his style.
made a phone call to Lee Myung-bak, listened to a few words of praise, and Lee Kyung-won said a few more polite words. Then, he told Lee Myung-bak the reason for his call, and told Lee Myung-bak that many artists had been invited to the contestants' village on the afternoon of the 16th to congratulate the contestants.
I just finished listening to what Li Jingyuan said. Before he could talk about the topic of 'what to do next', Lee Myung-bak immediately took over the conversation with great sophistication and said with a smile: "Hehe, that's right, I originally wanted to take the Minister of Culture, Sports and Tourism with me, and he is also in charge of the artists, so let him praise a few more words when the time comes." Oh. By the way, I forgot to ask you, what time did you say you were holding a performance in the afternoon? Seven or six? Alas. It's a pity, if I don't have a party in the evening, I actually want to see the artists' performances. ”
In the end, it's still a politician, depending on how clever the answer is. Quietly, he conveyed to Li Jingyuan a 'I'll leave after I send the award.' It won't affect the artists' performances, it won't affect your performances, and you won't even be delayed for dinner before watching the performances.
Lee Myung-bak is so on the road, so what else can Lee Kyung-won say? I could only laugh and chat a few more words, and then hung up the phone.
Although he didn't directly hear Lee Kyung-won say, 'I will support you in the general election,' Lee Myung-bak still heard that Lee Kyung-won was already somewhat satisfied with his words. At this time, the 'discontentedness' characteristic of politicians is activated. So, Lee Myung-bak came up with a new idea. And this idea. Two days later, it brought a lot of attention to Li Jingyuan, making his popularity, which had already risen sharply because of the three gold medals, rise a lot again.
Of course, that is all an acquired thing, and it is impossible for Li Jingyuan to know the Tao now. For him, the most important thing at the moment is to inform the artist friends he has invited of the changes in the matter.
Although Lee Myung-bak said that he would not disturb the artists, he is still the head of a country in the end, and no matter how casual he is when he travels, he will definitely be accompanied by a team of bodyguards. Lee Myung-bak himself may not mind, but it's impossible for the bodyguards to turn a blind eye to the artists and the entourage they bring with them. It's fine if you haven't been in contact with it, but if the artists haven't been notified and they or the staff accompanying them accidentally crash into the Presidential Guard, it's a bit unpretty.
"I'll tell you something, I got a notice from my side that the president and the minister of culture, sports and tourism will also come to ...... that afternoon."
"Huh? Yes~~~~~! What did you say? It's over, it's over~~! ”
"Don't shout, don't shout~, calm down, listen to me. Actually, it has nothing to do with you, they came over at about three or four o'clock, and after giving us a commendation, they left at about five o'clock at the latest. And your show doesn't start until seven o'clock in the evening, so it doesn't matter at all. ”
"I see, it scared me to death."
"Hehe, don't worry, don't be nervous, it's okay. I'm just going to tell you, lest you come too early and run around and then accidentally run over there. ”
"Don't worry, after I go, I will never run around~! I promise~! ”
"Hehe, it's okay to visit casually, it's rare to come in once, as long as you have a little look, if you see a bunch of black sunglasses, you can stay away. By the way, I'll prepare a sign for you to hang up when the time comes, and with that sign, you won't be considered dangerous. ”
"That's good, that's good, by the way, Jing Yuan (brother/OPPA), shouldn't I inform the president and let him go with us?"
"No, no, he's here, how can we have fun later? I've already told the coaches that when they're done with your show, they'll all go back to bed, and then we'll be the only young people left to do together. ”
"We? Do you mean the contestants are with us artists? ”
"Well, that's right, when the time comes, everyone just drink and play, as long as you don't get drunk and make trouble, it will be ......."
That is, the girls in the girlhood know a little bit about Li Jingyuan's wealthy background, and they didn't say much when they notified them, and when they contacted other artists, Li Jingyuan had to talk about the last conversation with similar content. The notifications arrived one by one, and by the time all the invited artist friends had been notified, almost three hours had passed.
Because of the particularity of his identity (the athletes competing in three events), the training plan is different from all the other players, so Li Jingyuan did not live in a dormitory with the players of the football team with someone like he did in the last time he participated in the Beijing Olympics, but got a separate dormitory for personal use.
Don't worry about talking on the phone for too long, making too loud noises that will interfere with other people's rest, and then nest under the covers or hide in the bathroom. However, even if he was lying in bed and making a phone call for three hours, it was enough to torture Li Jingyuan enough. After the phone call was over, both of his ears had been 'burned' red from being on the phone for a long time.
When he was washing his face and preparing to sleep, Li Jingyuan also found that his ears were a little weirdly red (did you cover the flashlight with your hand when you were young?). The back of the hand is not going to be a blood-colored light, that's how it feels). Touching his ears and thinking of the toss of this day, Li Jingyuan shook his head and smiled unconsciously: "I hope there will be no accidents the day after tomorrow~." (To be continued......)
