"You're here so early, huh?"

"Nonsense! I heard Min Chang-ho say that when he called you last night and asked you if you want to give you the script for filming in the island country today, you scolded me, so I can only come by myself! ”

Early the next morning, after having breakfast with Kim Taeyeon at home, William Wang took his girlfriend and two people to the café all the way.

It was just after nine o'clock in the morning, when the official coffee shop was said to be the least crowded and quietest, but I found that there was already a customer sitting in my cubicle.

Li Zhina.

Obviously, the president of illiam entertainment came to work directly from the café today.

"Nonsense, can you not scold him? Don't pick a time to call. William Wang's face was taken for granted.

Li Zhina was slightly stunned.

glanced at William Wang, and then at Kim Taeyeon.

Nodding.

'Yikes! OPPA！ There's something wrong with you! Say this! ’

'It's okay......'

'Get out!! ’

"So, you came here in person today to tell me about going to the island country to film?"

"Well, last night Min Chang Ho said that you probably don't want to go to the island country, I thought about it for a long time, and I felt that we really don't have any alternative to arranging for you to go to achieve the same goal, so I have to tell you about it today anyway." Li Zhina nodded seriously.

"It's not like that...... William Wang was happy, "It's such a big company, I don't have to act in this play, and I don't know whose face I lost." ”

"It was originally a test of the waters for us to invest in film production in the island country, and even if we didn't arrange for the actors to go, we didn't have anything." Li Zhina naturally knew that William Wang was spitting out illiam entertainment except that he had no male actor, so he said patiently: "But because it is a work to test the waters, I think we have to show some sincerity." ”

"Sincerity? In the way I act? William Wang's brows furrowed slightly.

"Yes." Li Zhina nodded, "The production and distribution of movies and TV series in the island country is an extremely closed circle, and there are many special things in it. At the beginning of this year, with the "How to Steal the Key" that you filmed in the island country last year, we finally had a presence in that circle, and now we finally have the opportunity to join in......"

"Wait a minute, I just went to make a movie, how come our company has a sense of existence......"

"Oh, in March of this year, you were nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Tokyo Film Academy Awards for that film." Li Zhina explained.

“……”

"OPPA, don't tell me you didn't even know you were nominated for a prize." Kim Tae-yeon, who had been silent beside him, watched William Wang and Li Zhi chatting, couldn't hold back and spoke.

"I don't know." William Wang shook his head.

“…… I've never seen an actor like you. Kim Taeyeon shook her head a little angrily, let out a long sigh, and stopped talking.

"All in all! We know you're not interested in receiving the award, so we didn't arrange this trip for you......" Li Zhina continued to talk next to him.

"What do you mean that I didn't arrange it because I wasn't interested in accepting the award, obviously because I was filming in the United States, so I couldn't arrange it, right??" William Wang asked rhetorically.

"No, it's actually arranged, but I think you won't ......do it the day before you shoot a scene in the United States, and then fly over the island country to attend an awards ceremony, and then fly back again."

“…… What are you talking about? Fly around the Pacific just to get a prize? William Wang's face was ridiculous.

"Don't dwell on the details." Li Zhina obviously didn't want to dwell on this issue with William Wang, "Even though you didn't go, we arranged for someone to participate in the award ceremony with the crew, and we got to know some people." Some people asked for cooperation with us. ”

“…… And then there is the movie now? ”

"Yes. In fact, the film that is already being filmed has been in preparation since last year. Li Zhina nodded, "It is a work with more heart, so as our company's pioneering work in the island country, it is a good choice." The director's choice to invest in us is also a sign of trust in us, and the important participant in this play, that is, the company where the heroine plays it, also hopes to take this opportunity to deepen the cooperation with us......"

"Based on my understanding of your chat habits, I'm going to star in this play, mostly because of the heroine's company, right?"

William Wang interrupted Li Zhina's words.

Glanced at Kim Taeyeon.

Whether it's because of this is actually not very important, but it is obvious that Kim Taeyeon's expression was a little strange for a moment when he heard this.

"This ...... Indeed it is. Li Zhina was stunned for a moment, nodded with a smile, "Originally, this was a small-budget film that Ota Productions had invested and arranged by itself, and they wanted us to join, so naturally they had the intention of seeking cooperation." As for the specific way of cooperation, although we can pay money, it is not convenient to only pay money. After all, people are not particularly bad money. ”

"Don't we already have two partners in the island country, Momoyo and Kadokawa? Is it appropriate to bring in new partners? William Wang thought about it and asked.

"The field of cooperation is different! Momyo is in charge of our work in the field of music, Kadokawa...... After the LoveLive project was over, our collaboration came to an end, and to be honest, the company was a bit lifeless, and I didn't want to do more activities with them. And Ota made it...... It is hoped that we can help them expand their influence on the peninsula, and they can help us expand our influence in the island countries. ”

“…… I still don't know where we're making money from this partnership. William Wang shook his head.

"Then let me put it simply, the heroine of this play, that is, the current master of Ota Productions, is Atsuko Maeda." Li Zhina felt that he needed to be simple and rude.

“…… Who's that? ”

"......" Li Zhi opened his mouth, and he didn't know what to say for a while.

"OPPA, do you really not know who Atsuko Maeda is, or do you not know?" Kim Taeyeon, who was next to her, answered.

A speechless expression on his face.

"You know?" William Wang looked at Kim Taeyeon, "Do you know?" ”

"Yes! Participated in the Red and White Song Party together...... Dreamcatcher is also recognized. Kim Taeyeon nodded, "But, OPPA, this is not the key, isn't the key not you AKB AKB has been talking about it for so many years, you don't know who Atsuko Maeda is??" ”

“AKB？ Is she a member of the AKB? ”

"......" Kim Taeyeon also opened her mouth, not knowing what to say.

"She's not only a member, but also known as the eternal C-position." Li Zhina interjected next to him. "In the first three finals, she won the first place twice and the second place once."

"What is the C position?"

"......" Lee Ji Na looked at Kim Tae-yeon.

"It's probably equivalent to Yuna's position in our group." Kim Taeyeon thought about it and helped explain.

"Façade responsible?"

"It's not a façade, it's ......"

"Oh. Roughly equivalent to Suzy's position in Dreamcatcher? You're standing in the middle of the stage, right? "William Wang probably understands something." C is the meaning of center? ”

"Hmm." Kim Taeyeon nodded. "But Dreamcatcher's C position is Xiuzhi? Isn't it Irene? ”

"It's Suzy in general." Li Zhina explained to the "boss lady" next to him, "But usually the situation is not ordinary, such as when you need a cute style, it's Kei, and when you need a sexy style, it's Hyomin or Hyuna......."

“…… What a poor C bit. Kim Tae-yeon smiled and shook her head.

"No, the members of the AKB, the head of their group, Aki...... Can they be allowed to work with us? Or has AKB decided to work with us? William Wang's brain was a little overwhelmed for a while, interrupting the small talk between Kim Taeyeon and Lee Zhina.

"B should be said to be an alliance existence, Yasu Akimoto integrated one or two hundred people from many companies to spell out the AKB brand......"

"One or two hundred? AKB is already so many? William Wang was stunned, "Isn't it 48 people?" ”

“…… OPPA, it's not 48 people anymore, okay! Kim Taeyeon couldn't listen anymore.

"So, it's such a big stall, people's hearts are scattered, the team is not easy to lead, and everyone has more small actions?" William Wang didn't want to be complained about by Kim Taeyeon.

was complained about just now, and I didn't know about Atsuko Maeda, and William Wang was already a little embarrassed.

"Not really." Li Zhina shook his head, "Ota Productions is one of Yasushi Akimoto's key partners, and they will definitely not do too many small actions behind his back, but the AKB brand is probably equivalent to our partnership with Momoyo for them, which is a music agent, but an artist can't just sing......"

"Who said it couldn't!" Kim Taeyeon wasn't happy.

“…… Shut up, you just came back from filming a variety show with me yesterday. Wang William gave Kim Taeyeon a blank look.

Kim Taeyeon obediently shut up.

"Artists, especially in island countries, the idol industry is very wonderful, like the group of idols in Dennis, they have worked hard to become actors, but they have never had too reliable opportunities and cognition, so they need some opportunities......"

"It's just like what the gang of Zhongwu Road in China dedicate themselves to art?" William Wang probably grasped some key points.

"What??" As soon as she heard this word, Kim Taeyeon's spirit suddenly flared.

"That's certainly not the case." Seeing Kim Taeyeon's reaction, Lee Zhi Na was happy, "In the island country, there is a special system for that kind of dedicated type of film, and it does not interfere with others. Just because of this, it is more difficult for ordinary idols to become actors, and it is useless to take it off alone......"

“…… Is there something wrong? Listening to Li Zhina's words, William Wang felt that his three views were a little broken.

"There is a wall between idols and actors, and if you want to break this wall, you need strong external support." Li Zhina continued to speak: "We are considered by them to be this kind of external force......

"No! Then that Atsuko Maeda, isn't he going to be an idol? Can AKB agree? ”

"Oh, she graduated from AKB last summer."

"Graduation? What do you mean? ”

"It's quitting the AKB team. So Ota Productions is quite worried about her future development now, after all, as the company's cash cow, it is not a matter if it is said that it will fall. Although Ota production still has Yuko Oshima......"

"Yuko Oshima and Atsuko Maeda are from the same company?" Kim Taeyeon has discovered the feeling of a new world on the sidelines.

"Yes! That's why we have to work with Ota Productions. Li Zhina smiled and nodded to answer the boss's inquiry, "I think it's still reliable to be able to bring out the two leaders of AKB at the same time, and to help us promote our influence in the island country with the company that I am fighting with each other." ”

“…… Can you say something I can understand. "William Wang feels marginalized.

Are you a person in the entertainment industry!!

"It's not important, you're not interested anyway." Li Zhina waved his hand, "All in all, Ota Productions wants to cooperate with us, and then took out the first film tailored for Atsuko Maeda after quitting AKB to show sincerity, in addition to paying money, it is best to show the sincerity of cooperation in some other aspects, think about it, there is nothing better than arranging for you to play a cameo role in the movie to show this sincerity." ”

"Going to the island nation tomorrow?"

"Hmm." Li Zhina nodded, "For the cameo role, we'd better follow the requirements of the crew, don't make a mess, since we are already going to sell this favor, we must sell it thoroughly." ”

"But I'm with Taeyeon...... I want to take two days off. William Wang glanced at Kim Taeyeon.

"You can take Taeyeon Xi with you!"

“…… That's like a word! William Wang was a little speechless.

"What's there? It's like bringing an extra staff member. Li Zhina smiled and said: "You forgot the method you went to shoot and steal the key before, and when you came back, you were still saying that Sakai Masato brought five assistants, and you only have one Min Changho, which looks particularly shabby......"

"I'm not his assistant!" Kim Taeyeon corrected.

"Will you come with me?" William Wang glanced at Kim Tae-yeon.

“…… Actually, I'm quite interested in OPPA, and you are going to work with Atsuko Maeda to film. Kim Tae-yeon nodded.

“…… What you actually care about is what kind of drama I co-shoot with her! William Wang laughed.

"Hmm." Kim Taeyeon nodded earnestly.

It's a dedication to art or something...... She felt panicked.

"So, you agreed to go to filming tomorrow, right?" Li Zhina made a concluding statement.

“…… Do you have anything else? William Wang saw it.

"Yes! Solo set of Hyo-min...... If you're done here, I'll go over there. ”

"You're not going to do it! A solo you still toss so much......"

"If it's Hyuna or IU's solo, I'm sure I don't have to ask about it personally. Hyo-min this ...... It's different! Li Zhina shook his head seriously, "Have you forgotten the trouble caused by the SNS she posted last year?" It's only been a year, and God knows if there are any hidden dangers left behind, so be careful! All aspects of the greeting must be called, otherwise it will be more expensive to deal with the problem when the problem comes out. ”

"Then you go and get busy with Hyomin's business!" William Wang nodded, "I'll shoot it tomorrow." ”

"Then I'll ask Min Changho to contact you and bring you the script by the way?"

"Okay! You've done a great job! William Wang nodded.

"If you don't mess with me a little less moth, I'll have a lot easier." Li Zhina smiled and shook his head, "If you hadn't scolded Min Changhao yesterday, I would have come so early today!" ”

"He called without a glance, do you blame me?"

“…… Okay, okay! Okay, I'm leaving. ”

"I can't send it if I go slowly." William Wang smiled and nodded to Li Zhina.

President Li just left, in a hurry, and it looked like he was really busy.

"OPPA, you really don't know if Atsuko Maeda is still pretending?" Kim Taeyeon watched Lee Ji-na leave, and finally began to ask her about the things she cared about.

"I don't know!" William Wang shook his head, "By the way, there was a word just now that I didn't ask Li Zhina, what he said about the first and second in the final election...... What's going on? ”

"It's a vote! Popularity vote. Seems like once a year, right? I don't know exactly either. It's just that when I go to the island country for activities, I occasionally listen to the agent. ”

"Popularity vote? Voting for a standing? Can this team still be harmonious? Don't you intrigue with each other every day? ”

"It doesn't matter, does it? They're this kind of system.,It's like the first place in the election will also post a solo title song or something...... It's a way to motivate fans to spend money on their idols! I think it's almost a form of playing songs with our country's music programs. ”

"Oh, yes." William Wang thought for a moment and nodded, "Originally, they weren't all from the same company, so competing with each other like this is a good thing for Qiu He's planner." And with graduation and things like that......"

"What does this have to do with graduation?" Kim Taeyeon was stunned, "I graduated because I was old!" ”

"What! If a person who occupies the first place all the year round does not retire, there is no hope for those who follow. After graduation, you can also be an actor, and my juniors here also have the opportunity to win the first place, and then this signboard will not depreciate...... Not to mention, this system is pretty good. It can not only form internal incentives, but also avoid vicious competition caused by solidification, except that it is easy to form gangs, there is no big problem. William Wang touched his chin. Otherwise, I'll ask Li Zhi to do the same in Dreamcatcher? ”

"Forget it! Have you forgotten what Li Zhi said about Xiao Min Xi last year? T-ara didn't do it before, just wanted to follow the example of AKB, keep adding people, and then wait for the old members in front of them to graduate when they are older......" Kim Tae-yeon flattened her mouth, "What happened?" There was a fight between the old members and the new members. Originally, it was the same level as us and Dreamcatcher, but it turned out that it couldn't turn over at all. ”

"Didn't that just fulfill your wish? Dreamcatcher is over, and the peninsula is your Girls' Generation. ”

"2NE1 was eaten by you?" Kim Taeyeon snorted, "Besides, even if you don't come out of the moth yourself, then they are only the second on the peninsula, and they will always be second!" ”

"It's okay, wait a few years, you'll be old......"

"It's okay! I'm not going to get old anyway! Kim Taeyeon lifted her chin.

"You're not going to ...... Seriously, I really think that you, the eldest sister of the group, are now the old of Girls' Generation, but Xu Xian is becoming more and more like the eldest sister......"

"Come on, come on, I'll call Xiaoxian, you tell her what you said again, and I'll see how she rushed over and killed you." Kim Tae-yeon pulled out her phone.

"You dial the phone! If you dare to dial, I dare to say it! ”

“…… Forget it, I'd better save money on phone bills! I'm going to the island nation again. Alas...... It's hard work! Kim Taeyeon sighed, "I also have to be an assistant to OPPA." ”

"What an assistant, the luggage is pretty much the same." William Wang smiled, "You don't have to work, you should be a tourist to the island country, at public expense!" ”

"Didn't you travel to Europe at public expense before? I didn't see where the fun went. ”

"But the problem is that if you don't have this arrangement, won't you just have to stay at home with me?"

"Stay-at-home...... Well, that's fine. Kim Taeyeon smiled.

At this time, William Wang's phone rang.

William Wang glanced at the caller, Min Changho.

"It's going to work again!" William Wang also sighed.

“OPPA，Fighting！” Kim Taeyeon smiled and cheered up William Wang.

"Hmm." William Wang smiled and nodded.

Indeed, if you just talk about this endless work, it's really annoying, but with Kim Taeyeon......

Seems alright?
