The two hundred and fifty-first Liu Zaishi invited

Kim Sung-won's single CD gradually flattened after a frenzy of sales in January, and although the sales of 600,000 copies were unexpected, it disappointed the media and musicians who had high expectations for him.

Record sales in Korea are basically during the initial release period, and then they will decrease less and less, and they will decrease in a stepwise manner, so basically the sales performance of a record is often determined by the sales of the first week or month.

Basically, everyone no longer expects Kim Sung-won's single CD to break through platinum sales.

"This achievement is already very difficult, after all, this is just a single CD, I hope Kim Sung-won can continue to work hard to maintain this level of music!" As if to comfort Kim Sung-won, many musicians have said this in their respective music magazines.

"Maintain this level of music? Then I can become the top musician in the world. When Choi Hyun-joon told Kim Sung-won about this, Kim Sung-won complained with a smile, "But the comfort of so many musicians makes me not know whether to be relieved or sad, although I don't expect to break through platinum sales, but it's just over a month after the release of the coffin for me, and I'm too anxious." ”

"The main thing is that the sales in the back are too different from the expectations in the front." Cui Xianjun said, "The pre-sale exceeded 100,000, and the sales in the first three days have exceeded 400,000, it feels like people who like it like crazy, and people who don't like it won't even listen to it." ”

Choi Hyun-joon believes that as long as you listen carefully to this single, you will never be stingy to buy a CD.

"You can't force this kind of thing, just take your time." Kim Sung-won said, "The main reason is that my song can't hit the charts, and it is only recorded on music websites, and people who like to surf the Internet generally don't like to buy CDs too much." ”

"Actually, if you mention this CD more than a few shows, it will definitely help the sales." Choi Hyun-joon said. The three variety shows that Kim Sung-won is now hosting, the total number of viewers accounts for almost 40% of all audiences.

"Forget about the Shengyuan Theory, infinite challenges and two days and one night are fine." Jin Shengyuan thought for a while and said. "Shengyuan Theory" has been changed to a more formal life program, and it is broadcast on cable television, which is not suitable for this kind of behavior.

"The current ratings of Shengyuan Theory are still not much improved, but there is a downward trend, which will inevitably affect advertising revenue......" Cui Xianjun is a little worried about the ratings of "Shengyuan Theory".

Because this show belongs almost entirely to Kim Sung-won, he will be held responsible for any problems, and if the ratings continue to decline, Choi Hyun-joon is worried that the TV station will interfere with the show.

"It doesn't matter, although the ratings are down a bit, it's still far ahead of all the cable TV programs." Jin Shengyuan pinched his chin and said. Now that I think about it, he made the decision to revise the version at that time, which was indeed too self-righteous and did not take into account the reactions of all the audience, but now he can only stick to it and strive to discover more ratings highlights, which will be more unacceptable over and over again.

Choi Hyun-jun was about to say something more when Kim Sung-won's mobile phone rang suddenly.

"Hello in Brother Shi." Jin Shengyuan said with a smile, it was Liu Zaishi who called.

"Shengyuan, do you have time now?" Liu Zaishi was not polite and asked directly.

"Yes," Jin Shengyuan said without hesitation.

"I'm here in Myeongdong, let's have lunch together." Liu Zaishi said.

"Okay, I'll go over now." After Kim Sung-won asked Yoo Jae-seok for the detailed address, he refused Choi Hyun-joon to send him and took a taxi to Myeongdong alone.

Although Myeongdong is one of Korea's most iconic shopping streets, there are also many delicious foods, most notably Myeongdong tonkatsu and knife-cut noodles, where Kim Sung-won spent his first Christmas Eve after retiring. …,

The cold weather did not affect the flow of people in Myeongdong, and most of the people who went shopping were couples, and the undisguised laughter and laughter were enviable.

Kim Sung-won walked along the address given by Yoo Jae-seok, and suddenly found that the shops on both sides were becoming more and more familiar, until he saw the restaurant where Yoo Jae-seok was, and he realized that diagonally opposite was actually the restaurant where he had dinner with Jessica and others on Christmas Eve in 2004, and it was also the place where he first met Taeyeon.

Stunned, Jin Shengyuan walked into the restaurant where Liu Zaishi was.

Liu Zaishi was in a private room on the second floor, where all kinds of barbecue utensils and a few bottles of soju were already placed, and Liu Zaishi sat alone at the dining table.

"Brother Shi, what's wrong with you?" Jin Shengyuan asked strangely. He knew that Liu Zaishi had never liked to drink very much, and today he actually took the initiative to put up a battle to drink with him. After the vocal cords recovered, Jin Shengyuan no longer deliberately quit drinking, as long as he was not an alcoholic.

Liu Zaishi was wearing a gray sweater, and his coat was taken off to the side, and after seeing Jin Shengyuan, he got up and said, "Shengyuan, it's here!" I'm fine, I just suddenly want to find someone to drink with. ”

After Jin Shengyuan took off his coat, he took a look and found that Liu Zaishi did not have any symptoms of discomfort except for some fatigue on his face, and he had not heard of any mental pressure, so he was a little relieved.

"Okay. It's been a long time since I've been drinking with Brother Zaishi. Jin Shengyuan said with a smile.

Yoo Jae-seok is a relatively quiet person (compared to the show) in private, and he doesn't like to attend all kinds of banquets, and even when he usually gathers with friends, most of the time he gathers at home, so few people have drunk with him alone.

"Sit." Liu Zaishi let Jin Shengyuan feel free and beckoned the waiter to start serving.

After sitting cross-legged near the window, Jin Shengyuan wiped the heat from the window, and in the restaurant diagonally opposite, business was very prosperous, and the hall was full of customers.

Jin Shengyuan couldn't help but think of the situation on Christmas Eve in 2004, when a few little girls made their debut in a group magically, I don't know if it was the fate arranged by God for them, destined to encourage each other to move forward together.

The subtle fate made a smile appear on the corner of Jin Shengyuan's mouth. On Singles' Day, Jessica and the others used Taeyeon's photos to tease him, but they didn't expect that a few years later, it would become a reality.

"Want a girlfriend? Shengyuan. After Liu Zaishi came back and sat down, he saw the smile on the corner of Jin Shengyuan's mouth and immediately asked.

"Brother, don't make fun of me." Jin Shengyuan smiled back and said, "How are you and Luo Jingen's sister-in-law doing now?" ”

Liu Zaishi smiled and said, "Hehe, I proposed to her." ”

"Really?" Jin Shengyuan exclaimed in surprise.

Liu Zaishi nodded, with a hint of excitement and a hint of shame on his face, and said: "I've been under a lot of mental pressure lately, and I lose sleep when I think about getting married." ”

"That's a good thing, brother." Jin Shengyuan said speechlessly, he didn't expect Liu Zaishi to have such a "cute" side.

"I don't know weishenme, I feel a lot of pressure when I think about getting married." Liu Zaishi shook his head and said.

"Isn't Brother Hudong very happy, brother, you should take it easy." Jin Shengyuan found that Liu Zaishi seemed to have some anxiety disorders, but he thought about things a lot.

At this time, the waiter brought pork belly and kimchi, and the shochu was naturally served with barbecue.

"Shengyuan, now you are really good at running a meat business." Liu Zaishi shook his head and said in a light-hearted way.

Jin Shengyuan smiled slightly bitterly, sighed and said, "Hey! The meat industry is not very good right now. ”

“weishenme？ Now that Jeju Island Best Black Pork has almost become a symbol of the Korean meat industry, you still complain, won't other pig farmers cry to death? Liu Zaishi asked. …,

"They're crying to death!" Jin Shengyuan shook his head and said.

"What's going on?" Liu Zaishi leaned over and asked strangely.

"Brother, you know the price of pork belly now, right?" Jin Shengyuan asked.

"I know, more than 20,000 won per kilogram of pork belly exceeds the price of beef." Liu Zaishi said.

"Everyone prefers pork belly, but the pork belly on a pig only accounts for 10 percent of the whole body, so it is rare and expensive." Jin Shengyuan explained, "But the price of tenderloin, elbow meat, etc. is less than half of the pork belly!" ”

Originally, it was a small talk, and complaining to each other could vent the pressure in his heart, and Jin Shengyuan did not hesitate to spit out his bitterness to Liu Zaishi.

"Best black pork is still a haode, and many ordinary pig farmers have gone bankrupt." Jin Shengyuan said. Best Black Pork has signed contracts with many restaurants because of its fame, so it can still maintain profits, and other ordinary users do not have this benefit.

Even many pig companies have advertised "don't just eat pork belly, but also eat other parts of meat".

Liu Zaishi also shook his head and began to pour wine for Jin Shengyuan.

The two started chatting like this, and the topic was naturally a lot of things in the variety show industry, during which they talked about Haha, who enlisted in the army on the 11th of this month, and Kim Jong Kook, who will retire soon, etc., zuihou turned back to the two of them to host the show.

Kim Sung-won also knew the reason why Yoo Jae-seok invited him to drink.

Although Liu Zaishi is beautiful on the surface, as a "national MC", the pressure has always been very high, especially the ratings of many programs in his hands are not as good as before, but the media and the audience frequently compare him with Jiang Hudong, and he has decided to get married, and he is a little worried about married life, which will cause frequent insomnia.

The best way to release stress is to find a friend to eat pork belly, drink soju and pour out your thoughts, and then go to the practice room and yell at it.

Kim Sung-won doesn't have much pressure in his acting career, and most of the time he listens to Liu Jae-seok's complaints while eating meat and drinking wine.

Maybe it's because he has never poured out before and has too many things in his heart, after Liu Zaishi drank a few glasses of soju, he actually became as "chattering" as in the show.

"Hudong and I rarely meet privately now. I think he came to my house to play games together. Liu Zaishi poured a glass of soju for Jin Shengyuan and said.

Jin Shengyuan almost squirted out the barbecue in his mouth, Jiang Hudong playing games? Won't he break the handle?

Liu Zaishi said more and more, occasionally repeating one thing a few times, and then constantly persuaded Jin Shengyuan to drink, fortunately, his eyes were still very clear, and there was no sign of drunkenness.

"Come, Shengyuan, have another drink." Liu Zaishi seemed to have discovered the joy of persuading his juniors to drink, and filled Jin Shengyuan with a glass of soju again.

"In Brother Shi......" Jin Shengyuan smiled bitterly, and was about to speak, when Liu Zaishi's mobile phone rang suddenly.

"Youjing, what's the matter?" Liu Zaishi's agent Nan Youjing called.

"yes, I see." Liu Zaishi didn't shy away from Jin Shengyuan, so after talking to Nan Youjing on the phone, he said to him, "Shengyuan, Youjing is really embarrassed to come to me for work." ”

"It's okay, Brother Shi." Jin Shengyuan hurriedly said.

"I'm sorry, Shengyuan." Jin Shengyuan deliberately took time out to accompany him, but he had to leave early, which made Liu Zaishi very unhappy.

Kim Sung-won got up and sent Yoo Jae-seok to the door.

Liu Zaishi insisted on settling the bill before taking a taxi to leave, and Jin Shengyuan returned to the private room alone to look at a large plate of pork belly and two bottles of soju that had just been delivered before, considering whether to call a friend over.

In distress, Jin Shengyuan accidentally glanced out the window, was suddenly stunned, and then took out the phone and dialed a number. …,

Jessica had a rare break today, and she was about to go to bed, but Tiffany called her to come shopping in Myeongdong.

At noon, the two inadvertently walked to the restaurant where they had dinner on Christmas Eve in 2004, and they were about to go in to eat, but Jessica suddenly received a call from Jin Shengyuan.

"Hello, Shengyuan oppa." Jessica was a little surprised that Kim Sung-won didn't get tired of Taeyeon, but called herself.

"Sika, are you with Pani in Myeongdong?" Jin Shengyuan asked.

"How do you know?" Jessica looked around suspiciously, but found no trace of Jin Shengyuan.

"You two come out of the cafeteria." Jin Shengyuan said.

"Where are you?" Jessie asked as Tiffany walked out of the restaurant as she watched her with a blank look on her face.

"You come out of the restaurant, and then walk to a Qingshan restaurant opposite, go up to the second floor and turn left." After Jin Shengyuan finished speaking, he saw that Jessica and the two had already walked over, hung up the phone and got up to go out to greet him.

Tiffany followed Jessica out of the dining room in a daze, then into another restaurant and straight to the second floor.

"Shengyuan oppa is on the second floor, someone has a treat." Jessica hung up the phone, chuckled, and said to Tiffany playfully.

"Why is Shengyuan OPPA here?" Tiffany opened her mouth wide in surprise and asked, how did he come to Myeongdong to do some shopping?

As soon as the two of them walked up to the second floor, they saw Jin Shengyuan standing outside a private room and waving to the two.

"Shengyuan oppa, why are you here?" Tiffany couldn't help but ask as soon as they met.

"Come in and talk about it." Jin Shengyuan said sideways, the two of them dressed up and made him want to laugh.
