Chapter 91: Encounter with Shin Woo-chul

From August 7th to 21st, 2005, Kim Jong Kook's "Standing Still" won three consecutive championships in popular songs; After that, it was the third consecutive crown of the song "Cute", which was in the limelight for a while.

In mid-September, TVXQ, the boy group launched by S.M last year, announced its strong comeback with the release of its second album "RISINGSUN", with the first batch of orders as high as 130,000 copies, instantly breaking the monopoly of Kim Jong Kook and jumping to the first place in all major charts.

TVXQ has been a blockbuster since its debut, and has won the love of countless young fans, and now it has only been two years since its debut, and it has the momentum to surpass the major old groups to become the first day group in Korea.

As Kim Sung-won said, "The boy group is the general trend", SS501, which debuted this year, TVXQ who returned, plus the old groups Mythology, GOD, etc., have seriously impacted the status of solo singers.

Although there are still many solo singers who have won one on some music programs, they are much worse than these groups in terms of popularity and number of fans.

Kim Jong Kook is also quite worried, this year will be the year before he enlisted in the army, if he can't achieve more results, two years after enlistment, it will be even more hopeless.

Jin Shengyuan didn't expect TVXQ to be so strong, and he was inevitably a little apprehensive, but now that the album has been released, he can only make a fuss about publicity.

At the suggestion of Kim Sung-won, Kim Jong Kook began to appear frequently in major variety shows, such as X-MAN, Love Letters, Night Heart, Infinite Challenges, Real Games, etc., and he can be seen in almost all slightly famous variety shows.

Influenced by the retro craze on the Internet and the haha imitation turbo in X-MAN, Kim Jong Kook received almost no second attention, and his performance in the "Love Letter" program set the highest rating of "Love Letter" since its inception, and Jiang Hudong couldn't close his mouth.

Kim Jong Kook's performance in variety shows also made him frequently invited to appear in various programs, and Kim Jong Kook also accepted all the orders, and actually became the "most popular artist in variety shows" in 2005.

The LG advertisement shot by Kim Sung-won, Kim Tae-hee and Hyun Bin has already been released, and the response is not satisfactory, but after a video of Kim Tae-hee patting Kim Sung-won's arm spread on the Internet, this advertisement was turned out by countless netizens, vowing that Kim Sung-won and Kim Tae-hee are in love.

I have to admire the sharp eyes of netizens, and the shot of Kim Tae-hee's lips crossing Kim Sung-won's face was highlighted by them, and pointed out that Kim Sung-won's eyes were a little unnatural at that time, not at all like the cooperation between ordinary artists.

Coupled with Kim Sung-won's attendance at Kim Tae-hee's graduation ceremony, the intimate relationship between the two has made countless netizens confirm that the two are in love.

On Kim Sung-won's official website, countless female fans have already made a lot of noise, and they have posted asking if it is really true.

Originally, Kim Sung-won didn't want to pay attention to these, thinking that as long as time passed, the gossip would naturally disappear, but Park Jung-yoon disagreed, and posted on Kim Sung-won's official website stating that Kim Sung-won and Kim Tae-hee were just ordinary friends, because the relationship between the same entertainment industry and the school's seniors was closer.

In any case, since Park Jung-yoon has made an explanation on behalf of Kim Sung-won, most fans choose to believe in their idols and refute the "Won Hee Love Theory" on the Internet.

Kim Sung-won seems to have a plan to dive to the end and not come back until the end of this year, and he has put aside the invitations of Korea's top music companies such as JYP and YG, and there is nothing else in the schedule except for recording X-MAN and unlimited challenges.

However, I have to say that the two people Zheng Zhuyuan found for Jin Shengyuan are simply too satisfying to him, and the two are almost the same as Jin Shengyuan's "lazy" character: if you take over the job, you will definitely put in 12 points of effort, but sometimes you are too lazy to pay attention to the work sent to the door.

Therefore, Choi Hyun-jun and the two of them have made a very firm effort to work hard as Kim Sung-won's assistant - everything is subject to Kim Sung-won's will, since you don't take the job, then we will rest with you. Anyway, there is a minimum guarantee in the contract signed by the two, and it is not low, comparable to the average white-collar worker.

Zheng Zhuyuan wondered how he could find such two people who were completely compatible with Jin Shengyuan, and there didn't seem to be any initiative in his nature, which was a headache.

On this day, after Kim Sung-won finished the recording of the 44th episode of X-MAN, it was already noon the next day, and he was about to go home when he suddenly yujian director Shin Woo-chul outside the TV station. …,

"Shengyuan, come here." When Shin Woo-cheol saw Kim Sung-won, his eyes lit up and he beckoned to him. Because of Zheng Zhuyuan's relationship, he has always treated Jin Shengyuan like his nephew.

"Uncle, what's the matter?" Under Zheng Zhuyuan's repeated emphasis, Kim Sung-won has changed his name to call Shin Woo-chul his uncle.

"Did you just finish recording the show?" Shin Woo-chul asked.

"Yes, I'm going home." Jin Shengyuan said with a smile. Although Shin Woo-cheol's personality is not as bohemian as Jung Joo-won, he is also very easy-going, especially with those close to him.

"Let's go to dinner together, and introduce you to a few friends by the way." Shin Woo-chul said.

"Okay, Uncle Xiexie." Jin Shengyuan even agreed. This kind of good thing, I don't know how many artists can't ask for it!

Stephanie, who was on the side, happened to come out of the TV station and listened to the conversation between the two clearly, and was still a little stunned when she returned to the nanny's car - there is such a good thing in this world? If you pass by the door, you can be pulled by the director of "Paris Lovers" to have dinner and introduce friends!

Since the broadcast of "Paris Lovers" last year, Shin Woo-chul's name has been remembered by almost most artists.

Tianwu Stephanie's agent was an ordinary middle-aged man in his forties, seeing that she turned her head to look at Jin Shengyuan from time to time, he still didn't understand her thoughts, and asked, "I envy him?" ”

"Yes, senior." Stephanie looked back and said that she wasn't very close to her agent.

"Jin Shengyuan's connections are well-known, he seems to have a peculiar charm, and almost every artist who has been with him will become his friend.

At the beginning of this year, there was a lot of uproar, and the image of almost all artists was hit, but he was the only one who stood out and was praised by the people as a model artist. Although he has deliberately kept a low profile, what kind of person in the entertainment industry does not? I don't know how many people hate him, but what is the result? But only a few small shrimp jumped out and called twice.

As for the reason? Hey, the top stars are busy making money, and they can't look down on his popularity, while most of the other first- and second-tier artists have been persuaded by their friends.

The relationship between the entertainment industry is like an intricate web, as long as you find the right context, even the north and south poles can be connected. Although Jin Shengyuan only participated in one variety show, the guests invited to each episode of the show were different, and after a long period of accumulation, his contacts formed a small network in a big net, and they were absolutely amazing when they connected with each other. Stephanie's agent said so much in one breath, but he was still unsatisfied, took a sip of water, and continued:

"What I admire most is his vision. That's right, it's the 'God-given eyes' commented on the Internet! Pretty funny, right? I am also the old man of the company, I was in the company when Kim Sung-won debuted, and everyone didn't care about this failed singer at that time, and Han Seung-ho actually tricked him into going to Dokdo to serve.

As a result, two years later, Kim Sung-won returned from service, and with this condition, he quit the company and asked the company to use his connections to arrange him into the current show.

Both conditions are simple, right? At that time, X-MAN was just an inconspicuous nascent variety show, and no one thought that it would actually create such a situation! With the highest ratings of 40%, there are so many TV series released every year, and how many can reach this level?

Do you know how much the company regrets it now? The president was able to acquiesce to his entry into the company, which was something that no one dared to imagine, but it really happened.

TVXQ is very aggressive this year, right? Since the beginning of the year, it has been non-stop propaganda and lists, and the result? Companies have largely stopped expecting them to win this year's awards. ”

Stephanie was dumbfounded, and the agent said a lot of things that she couldn't have touched as a young singer.

"Four years of failure and a two-year gap in service turned out to be a meteoric leap to the top. I have been in the entertainment industry for so many years, and he is one of the two people I admire the most. The agent continued, seemingly not at all worried that Stephanie would leak what she had said.

"Xiexie, Qiu Xuanxiong OPPA." Stephanie said sincerely, she finally understood why the agent always let her get closer to Jin Shengyuan, originally she thought that the agent had other thoughts.

"Call me uncle," Qiu Xuanxiong said with a smile.

"Well, uncle, I'll try." Stephanie said with a firm expression. …,

"Come on!" Qiu Xuanxiong nodded and said, but his mind was a little dazed.

In the entertainment industry, hard work is not enough, opportunities are sometimes more important than hard work, and the eyes that can see through opportunities are only truly talented.

Of course, Qiu Xuanxiong did not say these words.

……

"Uncle, is it a TV crew dinner?" Kim Sung-won knew that Shin Woo-chul was filming a TV series.

"Well, it's been completed, and it will officially premiere on the 24th of this month." Shin Yuzhe nodded and said.

"Congratulations on your TV series ratings all the way." Jin Shengyuan said with a smile.

"No sincerity!" Shin Yuzhe said unceremoniously, "You said that you kid has nothing to do to be an actor?" Even if you want to act in a TV series, you can tell me, uncle, it's not easy for me to arrange a role for you? ”

Jin Shengyuan was slightly stunned, then understood what Shen Yuzhe meant, and said with a wry smile: "Uncle, don't you want to treat me as a mascot?" ”

"You're so much better than a mascot!" Shin Woo-chul quipped, "The highest ratings of casually participating in a TV series will exceed 50%, and now I don't know how many directors in the circle want to invite you to make a cameo." ”

Jin Shengyuan pinched his chin helplessly.

Shin Woo-cheol had already booked a banquet at the hotel, and after the two went over with the staff, it didn't take long for several main actors to arrive.

Kim Joo-hyuk, Jeon Do-yeon, Kim Min-joon, Jang Keun-suk, Yoon Se-ah, etc., under the introduction of Shin Woo-chul, Kim Sung-won greeted them one by one. Although several people were a little surprised by Jin Shengyuan's sudden appearance, they did not express surprise.

For more than half a year this year, the "digging into the roots" against Jin Shengyuan on the Internet has not been interrupted, and all kinds of things about him have been dug up and posted on the Internet.

Among them, his appearance at the SBS Acting Awards at the end of 2004 attracted the attention of many netizens, after all, Kim Sung-won was not qualified to appear there at that time.

Later, a staff member of SBS TV revealed that it was Director Shin Woo-chul who specially brought him in, and Director Shin Woo-chul had already refused to attend, so he changed his mind for the sake of Kim Sung-won.

This message has been remembered by many well-intentioned people. Jeon Do-yeon and others participating in this TV series directed by Shin Woo-cheol naturally know this.

Among them, only Jang Geun Suk is younger than Kim Sung-won.

"Come on! I'm very optimistic about you. Jin Shengyuan patted him on the shoulder and said as he greeted him.
