792 What is this play?
The problem of the new song on LOONA's side Li Zhina did not urge, because in fact, LOONA's return activity cycle this time has not ended.
Just after the Spring Festival, there are naturally a lot of activities such as new store openings and ribbon cuttings, and just after the song, LOONA, as the representative of the new generation of girl groups, has become one of the top guests in the guest list of these events.
Although he doesn't make much money, just like Dreamcatcher back then, he runs the field to expand his influence and popularity, and the money is just piggybacked.
On the other hand, LOONA's team activities are over, and the theme of the "Girl of the Month" project continues, and the members' solo songs are still arranged.
Just when William Wang and Kim Taeyeon were worried about fishing for dinner on Wancai Island, the real first bullet of this project was announced, and the first to release this month's song as a member of LOONA was Choo Jieqiong, the absolute face of the group.
The song is not a high-quality work, it is just a standard assembly-line Kpop written by an ordinary writer.
It's just a music source, a music video, and a single album.
Results......
Actually, it's not particularly good.
Because after all, it is not a music source and record for a team event, and illiam entertainment has no intention of playing songs, so it will not use tricks such as encouraging fans to buy or buy back on the charts to boost sales.
So in fact, even if Lin Nalian is arranged to play songs, it is estimated that it will be difficult for her to get one.
It's better for everyone to entertain themselves, and then the fans treat it as a benefit for idols.
As for the fact that the results and sales are linked to the C position of the next return......
Fans see the ability for themselves.
Well.
And when the matter on the LOONA side slowly got on the right track, the activities of another girl group of iliam entertainment, the real signature Dreamcatcher, were also put on the agenda.
Irene has returned from filming in the United States, but that doesn't mean the whole group has become easy to achieve.
After all, everyone is very busy with Dreamcatcher now, and it is not easy to get together, and illiam Entertainment is also consciously reducing the number of their team activities.
So, although Irene returned from the United States in January, the real Dreamcatcher team will not be able to arrange it even in May.
And before that...... solo。
Well, it's a serious solo event that's different from LOONA's girl of the month's event of the month.
In late February, Kei, who was busy filming in the island country some time ago, fired the first shot, the single solo.
Two weeks later, Park Hyo-min, then two weeks later, IU, and then Hyuna, Dreamcatcher's four are mainly mixed music circles, one person and one song, all of which are official release lines, playing songs, and going to rush one wave.
Just like LOONA's solo song, the company doesn't do anything, but only assists in promoting it when the charts are played.
In fact, the main thing is to show the children of LOONA how far your predecessors can go without the help of the company to spend money on the list.
It can be regarded as helping Irene and them establish an orderly order in the company, and they can't let them float one by one just because President Li Zhina personally went to take them......
And these operational things have nothing to do with William Wang.
The time slipped through February and came to the end of March.
William Wang went to Paris again, participated in Fashion Week, still looked handsome, took pictures on the red carpet, and then, with some of the latest C brand clothing, came back.
The routine is very.
During this period, he and Kim Taeyeon participated in the recording of several episodes of three hours and three meals as "special guests" and also completed the broadcast.
In the first few episodes where Jang Keun Suk had to be replaced urgently because of Jang Keun Suk's tax problems, and even after the filming had been completed, he had to continue to use it in the first few episodes in order to avoid Jang Keun Suk's appearance in the picture, so he had to cut out all the pictures where he appeared, and even, in some of the pictures where there was no way to cut out all the three guest members, the cropping and enlargement method was used to keep only Bang Hae-jin and Cha Seung-won, which made the ratings very dangerous for a while.
But the appearance of William Wang, as well as the attention brought by topics related to girls' generation, made this variety show fight back in the face of the possibility of being cut in half.
In the three episodes in which the two of them participated as guests, the average ratings were all above 12%, and among them, Kim Taeyeon began to cry because of William Wang's words, and the ratings even exceeded 19% in an instant.
This is almost a miracle for a cable station.
Luo Yingshi almost dreamed of waking up laughing......
Of course, this one is definitely a win-win.
Kim Taeyeon's sluggish face from time to time during the three meals and thinking about her thoughts, and when someone looks for her, she immediately puts a smile on her face, which really distresses fans.
And William Wang's cautious attitude of holding Kim Taeyeon in her mouth for fear of melting, and holding it in her hand for fear of falling, also helped her gain a lot of praise from fans.
After all, William Wang is an absolute "noble son" in the entertainment industry, and most people know very well that such a person can accompany you to a remote island to relax in order to make you happy, and he can still treat you like this......
In the selection of "The Male Star You Want to Marry the Most" held at the end of March, William Wang, who gave up the top spot because of the previous announcement of his relationship, reached the top again after two years.
Of course, such an honor is of no avail.
It doesn't improve your life......
William Wang still has breakfast, café, dinner, and sleep every day.
Regular, ascetic-like.
It's Kim Taeyeon, who is not so idle.
After the café SNS that day, I don't know what to think, and they haven't released any official news about Girls' Generation, but are focusing on their boy group comeback plan.
Fans of Girls' Generation are anxious.
The children are like this, and the company still refuses to forgive?
However, things may not be what the sones imagined.
After that day's SNS, Kim Taeyeon was notified by their new manager to go to the company for another meeting.
The result of the meeting Kim Taeyeon did not report in detail to William Wang, but looking at Kim Taeyeon's smiling face, he knew that it was definitely not bad news.
And after that meeting, she got busy.
Many endorsement contracts signed last year because of the explosion of "International Market" were short-term contracts for half a year, and they had basically expired at the beginning of the year, and those merchants did not have the idea of renewing their contracts with Kim Taeyeon.
This is not to blame, after all, you Kim Taeyeon didn't even go to the award ceremony of the film awards, and people looking for you to endorse them couldn't achieve the effect of publicity at all, so they naturally saved it.
It's just that three hours and three meals here seem to have given Kim Taeyeon's endorsement another life.
The instantaneous ratings of 19% of the cable station, according to a conversion method that I don't know where it came from, even exceed 50% of the ratings of the three major TV stations in the ground band, and because of her sudden explosion here and the importance of what she did in the sense of the so-called "group soul" level, it is very in line with the similar "unity", "perseverance" and "hard work" of many companies...... and other value orientations, which naturally made her get some endorsement advertisements again.
Of course, it is not easy to compare with the level of cosmetics in the international market before, but it is still a lot of income, and more importantly, more.
That side gave Kim Taeyeon eight endorsements in one go.
These are all to shoot advertisements one by one, and even have to attend some commercial promotional activities.
Some worries that going home every night will affect her work status, and just in time for William Wang to go to Paris to participate in fashion week and can't take her, Kim Taeyeon, who has a little mood, moved back to the dormitory again.
Of course, there is also a little "hint" from Girls' Generation's agent about Kim Taeyeon.
Until the dust settles in the end, it's best to keep a little distance from William Wang......
Kim Tae-yeon accepted.
And if it weren't for something, William Wang might have stayed like this, waiting until Kim Tae-yeon returned to the café after his trip.
It's just that although there is basically nothing for Illiam Entertainment to worry about, there are still some things he has to do.
That song, Li Zhina didn't urge, but there was something else, he was urged: Li Zhina also asked him to take Lin Nalian to act in a play.
……
"Is this going to be on KS TV?"
William Wang put down the script in his hand and looked at Li Zhina, who was drinking coffee opposite him.
After the return cycle of LOONA's TV broadcast, he handed over the main activities of the team to Min Chang-ho, and he himself returned to the position of president.
It's finally free.
"Yes, this drama was originally planned to be performed by IU, but I heard that if you find Lin Nalian, you can buy one get one free" Speaking ......of this, the corners of Li Zhina's mouth pulled out a wonderful arc, "They agreed without even a second of hesitation." ”
“…… That's kind of sorry IU, right? ”
"Nothing! IU actually didn't really want to act in this play. Li Zhina shook his head, "It's just because IU has had a good cooperative relationship with KS before, from DreamHigh back then, to the best Li Shunxin, it is all KS's play, this time KS took the initiative to invite again, and the roles in the script were tailor-made for her, she was really embarrassed to refuse, so she pushed to the company's side, just because she knew that she might not have to play the ......."
“…… What about Lin Nalian? ”
"She definitely has no opinion, and the expected launch time of this drama is May, and it is her turn to plan this month's girl project, and Kim Hyung Seok Yeba has to use the song again......" Li Zhi smiled, "Everyone is happy!" ”
“…… And then I'm not happy, right? William Wang glanced at Li Zhina.
"What's so upset about you, go shoot it! To be honest, you didn't do anything serious last year, but it's true to film well this year. Li Zhina waved his hand, "Look at what page you are on the news now!" It's almost mixed into a blanket star! ”
"The blanket star is not ...... It's just that I'm also an Oscar......"
"Stop." Li Zhi's face was disgusted, "You don't have any opinion on this script, right?" ”
"It doesn't matter, anyway, I'm going to take Na Lian, as long as there is no emotional drama between me and her." William Wang nodded. "Why do you think I have an opinion?"
"This script...... Well, you should be able to tell that there are two days and one night in it, right? Li Zhina pointed to the script, "KS TV is afraid that you think this is alluding to Luo Yingshi, so I am still a little worried, let me tell you, they don't mean to be sarcastic about Luo Yingshi, in fact, they want to take this opportunity to repair the relationship with Luo Yingshi, including Li Minghan and Shen Yuanhao." ”
"KS, a TV station with a high eye, would want to repair relations with the betrayer?"
"If it's an ordinary betrayer, it's nothing, KS is ruthless, but Luo Yingshi ...... I won the Baeksang Grand Prix last year! Li Zhina shook his head with a smile, "In addition, the ratings of the three meals at three o'clock have broken the table recently, and the influence in the circle has long been incomparable, so naturally it is not something that KS can repair if he wants to repair the relationship." ”
"But I'm not that sensitive! Why, it's good for me to have an opinion on this plot? William Wang glanced at Li Zhina, no matter how he looked, he didn't look like he wanted to be peaceful.
It's like it's going to stir up trouble.
"Benefits, this kind of thing can always come out, for example, in addition to Na Lian, you can also arrange for Jieqiong and Yinhe to go up and show their faces or something, anyway, it's the theme of two days and one night, just think they are going to participate in the two-day and one-night show...... Well, or go to KS TV to participate in other program recordings or something. ”
"Then I'm a little upset, and you tried hard to explain that I reluctantly accepted it." William Wang was happy, "I sold Luo Yingshi so many favors, and it is reasonable to rub his benefits this time." ”
"In addition, there is a character in this play who has an emotional scene with you......"
“…… What do you mean? "William Wang heard Li Zhina say this, and he also understood, there is still something to do." Don't take an inch! ”
"What! It's not me, it's KS TV! Speaking of this female character, ask if we have any recommendations...... It's really just a matter of who you want to shoot with! ”
"I don't have anything special ......"
"Han Hyo-joo?"
“…… Don't make a fuss, the limelight of her is over? ”
"Can you not?" Li Zhina smiled and sighed, "Before the matter on her side had time to ferment, it was held down by our use of media relations, and there are many people arguing on the Internet, but the key point of the quarrel is not whether she should be responsible for what her brother committed, but whether it is appropriate for you to lead foreigners to comment on the values of the people of the peninsula...... And then the girlhood side of the matter came out, how can anyone care about you! ”
“…… A big mess. ”
"It's a mess!" Li Zhi's speechless expression on his face, "Then Han Xiaozhu went to the United States and we helped her to contact and star in the American drama, and the response was also very good, plus she also went to New York Fashion Week to show up, and she also got a lot of news pages, and not many people scolded her anymore, so it's almost ...... Well, you can consider arranging for her to return to China. ”
“…… Is this what you think or is that what KS TV thinks? ”
"KS reminded me, I think it makes sense, that's why I came to ask you." Li Zhina said with a smile: "Didn't you plan to find Han Xiaozhu to shoot a TV series together, but you didn't make the trip for some reasons!" This time simply, together! ”
“…… What kind of light can Lin Nalian get! "William Wang is not just worried about Han Xiaozhu's problem." The attention will fall on my cooperation with Han Hyo-joo. ”
"This ...... That's right. So what do you think? ”
"That's it, hmm......" William Wang grabbed his hair, "let Liu Renna or Jin Sharon play this role, it is not so dazzling compared to Han Xiaozhu." ”
"Then what about your cooperation with Han Hyo-joo in filming......"
"Wait! What, she's been idle lately? ”
"How do I know that I'm not the owner of her studio?" Li Zhi said with something in his words, "Otherwise, why should I ask you, I will just arrange for her to act." Actually, I think that this drama has you, Lin Nalian, and IU who plans to comfort KS to make a cameo, if you find Liu Renna or Jin Sharon...... It seems that this drama has become our company's own amusement, which is a little bit bad......"
"Then you tell KS that I don't want to cooperate with Han Hyo-joo in this drama, at least ...... Well, I don't want to play an emotionally entangled drama with her. William Wang thought for a while and said, "Let KS find another look for the actress they like, as long as it's not too outrageous, I have no opinion." ”
"Okay." Li Zhina nodded, "Then I left you the script?" It was officially launched on April 7. No problem, right? ”
"It's good that you make sure with Tamamo." William Wang nodded, "I don't have any other arrangements anyway." ”
"Hmm...... Let's go! By the way, are you still interested in anything else? ”
"I'm not interested, so you won't talk about it?"
"Well, if you're not interested, I won't be annoying!"
“…… You say! ”
"JYP's new girl group plan is basically out. Two days ago, I sent a fax here, looking at the idea of sponsorship. ”
"Pull sponsors to find illiam to invest, we don't have the money." William Wang said with a smile.
“…… You mean to leave them alone? ”
"Did they take care of a child when I asked them to help me take care of a child?" William Wang waved his hand, "This person is too self-centered. ”
"If he doesn't, will JYP become what he is now?" Li Zhina sighed softly.
"What are they planning?"
"Oh, yes, YG held a talent show last year......"
"Draft? Didn't you make your debut as a member of the trainees? Which one to choose......
"It's just a choice among the trainees!" Li Zhina interrupted William Wang's interjection and gave him a blank look, "It's a group of trainees in the company who openly participate in a talent show, and then those who are selected in it will become official members of the group and debut." Park Jin-young plans to refer to this show and run one as well. ”
“…… And then how to pull sponsorship......"
"Since this show is definitely going to be held, there must always be an investment! And ......"
"Don't tell me he doesn't even have the money to run such a show!"
"Of course you can do it, you can do it anyway, but the key thing is that you have to broadcast this show, and it makes sense to do it! Otherwise, it's better to close the door and choose a few to make your debut! Li Zhina smiled, "It's definitely no drama to go to the three major TV stations, so I can only go to Mnet, but Mnet has a relatively high price for this program, and I have to sign a ratings agreement with them...... He didn't really want to sign. ”
"So what? What is he going to do? ”
"He plans to find Mnet to buy a time period, and the advertising revenue for this time period is obtained by JYP, and the profit or loss has nothing to do with Mnet."
"Well, it's really Park Jin-young, and it's hard to understand with confidence." William Wang smiled and shook his head, "Then ask us to borrow money?" ”
"Hmm. I was going to ask him to go to Illiam to invest, but I think he must be rejected if he finds that side, so I'm going to ask you if you plan to give him a handout. Li Zhina nodded.
"This ...... Not to mention borrowing money. William Wang thought for a while and said with a smile, "Let's just say that we will contact Mnet to arrange the time and cost of production and broadcasting, on his side, it is regarded as a propaganda variety show, helping him, a girl group that has not debuted, to make a brand, no appearance fee, and no need to spend money, if you want, we will help him do this, if you don't want to, forget it." ”
“…… This one...... Don't we ignore these things? ...... of making variety shows or something"
"Let's go and arrange with CJEM, let Mnet arrange people to participate in the production, the big deal is to borrow a few people from Luo Yingshi and them to participate, they are willing to take this job, just do it according to Mnet's own business plan, if you don't want to, let the investment company buy their time, we will come from negative profit and loss." William Wang said with a smile.
“…… It's better to lend money to JYP and let them go on their own......"
"What did he give back to you if he lent him? That day, I said that I would let Cheng Xiao go to their side to follow the training, and he was ashamed to tell me that he would return the money of the four trainees to us! Returned? William Wang glanced at Li Zhina.
“…… Okay. Li Zhina smiled and sighed, "Then I'll let someone connect with JYP?" ”
"Well, give Xiao Duan a call and ask him to contact CJEM, don't always show up. In the future, you will have to deal with people of Lee Jae-hyun's level. ”
"Forget it, playing golf and fishing or something, it's too greasy and crooked, I said before that I would also experience it and live an upper-class life, but I found that I couldn't stand it in a few days." Li Zhina hurriedly refused, "I'd better do my job honestly...... Well, okay, nothing else, I can go. ”
"Thank you for your hard work."
"It's not hard...... By the way, by the way, if you want to invite you to that JYP program......"
"Refuse."
"Okay." Li Zhina nodded, stood up, and walked out of the cubicle.
After a while, the nine-tailed fox walked in.
"Master, have you agreed to film this drama?"
"Hmm. You go and get in touch with the director and the screenwriter to see when I'm going to meet, even if I don't have an interview, I always have to talk about the script and the characters first. William Wang nodded at the nine-tailed fox.
"What's there to talk about......
“…… Why are you swelling faster than me? "William Wang was happy.
"No! The director of this drama is President Li Zhi, President Li! Didn't you just talk to him? ”
“…… I said why did he want Han Hyo-joo to come so much! William Wang instantly understood.
"Han Hyo-joo? Looking for her? ”
"No, Han Hyo-joo's side...... Well, what kind of big case did the succubus write the script before the filming of this drama is finished! William Wang shook his head.
"Shoot again after this film? So master, do you plan to act in two TV series this year? The nine-tailed fox was stunned.
“…… Can't you? ”
"No, it's just that you didn't act in a play last year, and suddenly you are so diligent...... A little uncomfortable. ”
“……”
"And the host...... In fact, movie actors are generally not very good at acting in TV series. The nine-tailed fox knocked on the side. Even if you are diligent, you don't need to be diligent in TV dramas. ”
"Huh? Why? William Wang was stunned.
"Because I think it's cheap!" The nine-tailed fox smiled and spread his hands, "The value of movie actors is in that place, where can TV series be afforded!" Moreover, movie actors always feel that they are closer to art than entertainment, and they have a higher self-esteem, and they don't disdain to be in the company of TV actors...... So generally speaking, unless it is an actor who plays a movie and hits the street, as long as he can act in a movie, he will not make a TV series. ”
"Sounds like a class difference......"
"Yes, indeed." The nine-tailed fox nodded.
"But here's the problem...... I don't mind that! William Wang smiled and shook his head, "I don't care if they think I'm a movie actor or a TV actor." Is there a difference? I'll just shoot what I want. ”
"This ......"
"Alright, don't discuss this with me, it's really unnecessary." William Wang waved his hand, "Others need to define their own identity and status through these things, for me...... I really don't need it. ”
"Then I'll go arrange the itinerary and get ready for styling." The nine-tailed fox saw William Wang's indifferent expression, and suddenly felt a little weak, "Do you have any other orders?" ”
"After confirming with director Li Zhinaxi who is looking for someone to play the heroine, tell me, I have a mental preparation."
"Okay." The nine-tailed fox nodded, turned and walked out.
……
