Chapter Forty-Nine: Debut (Collect!) )
(PS: The new book needs everyone's support, ask for collections, ask for tickets!!) )
In the second half of last year, Li Yu achieved very good results in China, a youth movie starring him, and the theme song of the movie he personally created made many young people know the name 'Li Yu'.
With the release of Li Yu's information on the Chinese side, the Chinese people were amazed that Li Yu had actually created so many popular songs in South Korea! And it is also a song of idols that many people like, plus Li Yu's group has a Huaxia team, so will Li Yu's development focus be in Huaxia in the future? This is also something that the reporter is very curious about.
Li Yu responded: "Where I focus in the future, I believe that the company will definitely have an arrangement." ”
Maybe it was because of his debut, and the reporter began to care about the scandal of Li Yu, who is currently the most popular in the team, so a reporter immediately asked: "Li Yuxi, at the end of November last year, someone photographed you and two women playing in Lotte World together, what is your relationship?" ”
When Li Yu was playing with Bae Joo-hyun and Shiqi in the Lotte world, he didn't hide his appearance. After he starred in the TV series, he was still a little famous, but he was still recognized in such a playground, but he was only a few. Li Yu also took photos with those who recognized him.
It's just that I didn't expect that almost half a year has passed, and at this time, there were still reporters asking questions, Li Yu said with a smile: "Of course it's a friend, do you still need to ask about this?" ”
"Li Yu xi.."" Li Yu xi.." At the first meeting of his debut, Li Yu received the most questions from reporters, which was like Li Yu's press conference. The young men of Li Yu's team, although they did not show any emotion, were a little unwilling in their hearts. After all, who doesn't want to be noticed?
And that's just a question from a reporter on the day of his debut in South Korea. When Yanjing debuted, the reporter's questions were more sharp, and they revolved more around Li Yu.
Li Yu, Girls' Generation, SUJU, Kara, Tara, IU... In the past two years, the very popular songs in the Korean music scene have all been written by you, will you write for Chinese singers? ”
Li Yu responded with a smile: "Of course it will, aren't Zhang Liyin's predecessors' "Fairy Tale Town", "123 I Love You" and "Passerby" all Chinese songs written by me?" However, my creative fee may not be acceptable to most Huaxia brokerage companies. So.. Let's talk about it! ”
Reporter: "Li Yu, the song "Those Years" has been popular in China for several months, will you release your own Chinese songs in the future?" ”
Li Yu nodded: "If I have time and this arrangement, I will definitely compose Chinese songs." However, you may need to wait a little longer, because our team has been working so hard lately. ”
The reporter asked: "May I ask Li Yu, why do you want to go to South Korea to become a trainee?" Why not stay in the country and develop? ”
Li Yu said with a smile: "There are too many people who are better than me in China, and I know that I can't be admitted to the film and television academy and the music academy in China." So.. I'm just an exam deserter. ”
Reporter: "Li Yu, will you take over more Chinese film and television works in the future?" ”
"Of course, if there are domestic directors who are willing to give me a chance."
.......
After Li Yu participated in the debut in China with the team, he hurriedly returned to Seoul, and as the group's fame grew, Li Yu's album sales reached 100,000 copies in the first month of his debut.
You must know that it is now the digital age, and everyone listens to songs and downloads them to their mobile phones. And the physical album may only be a collection, and fans use it to collect the small cards inside. So physical albums, 100,000 copies, is a very big number in today's era.
After his debut, Li Yu really felt the situation that the hot idols in South Korea said that they had no time to sleep. The singing schedule is four days a week, and the singing schedule is a rehearsal at 7 o'clock in the morning, but the stage makeup needs to be prepared during the rehearsal.
It's equivalent to saying that they have to put on all 13 makeup in the salon before six o'clock. Although many beauty salons in Korea are open 24 hours a day, there are at most two stylists who stay in the early hours of the morning to do the styling.
From the first one to do the modeling, to the last one to go in to do the modeling, there is an hour in between. Because you have to do the styling at six o'clock, maybe the first one to do the styling will get up at four o'clock in the morning to go to the beauty salon.
Even if you participate in a singing show, there are other variety shows behind you, as well as the promotion of late-night broadcasts, and when there is no singing show, you have to run commercial performances and some signing sessions.
It can be said that each member's day is calculated according to the 'hour'. A few go to the show, a few go to the radio...
At the end of the propaganda trip in South Korea, it is another propaganda trip in China.. At this time, there is only one entertainment program in Huaxia at present, "Happy".
In this way, Li Yu followed the EXO team for half a year, and with the release of "League of Thieves", Li Yu's popularity has once again been greatly improved in South Korea.
Although he only has half an episode, his role is very outstanding. In addition, the sound of 'EXO' during this period of time is very high in the Korean entertainment industry, and Li Yu's popularity has naturally risen.
With "League of Thieves" on the Internet in China, there are also some people watching it, Li Yu as an actor... made many Chinese directors seem to have seized the opportunity.
Li Yu received a film proposal from Huaxia in August, "Little Times". After seeing this drama... Li Yu laughed, with the beginning of this movie, the 'traffic era' in China is about to open.
"Little Times" is an absolutely bad movie, but, you can't deny that it has epoch-making significance, it defines traffic. Because there are some handsome guys and beauties in this movie, but the story is cliché and the acting skills are all together...
cough cough, anyway, it's such a lineup that only looks at faces, but it easily achieved a box office income of hundreds of millions of dollars at the box office. 100 million, this box office unit, was very rare before '13 years', and it would almost only appear in the Lunar New Year stalls.
At this time, there has not been any box office fraud, so there is not so much capital to pay attention to the fact that movies can launder money.
With the advent of this "Little Times", the movie breaking 100 million is just a small problem, and everyone is pursuing billions in the later stage, and this money laundering has become exaggerated.
The era of traffic has just opened, and capital has begun to pour into the entertainment market in large numbers. The fan circle culture has also gradually begun.
Looking at "Little Times", Li Yu rejected the proposal without thinking about it. Li Yu refused, but S.M did not want to refuse. Because Huaxia gave Li Yu a salary of 'one billion' won (more than 5 million Huaxia coins), Li Yu couldn't get this price on the Korean side.
At this time, the era of traffic has not yet arrived, so the salary of five million is very high. Even Li Yu suspects that the salary price offered by the 'little man' is higher than that of Mimi.
Li Yu seriously recalled that "Little Times" did bring a lot of traffic to Mimi, and it can be said that Mimi's traffic password started from this "Little Times". However, I don't like any role in this play very much.
Li Yu found someone from the company and said his opinion on this drama: "I definitely won't appear in this drama, the content of this drama is completely inconsistent with my three views." ”
The people from the company said to Li Yu: "Li Yuxi, as an actor, who hasn't starred in some bad movies?" No actor can be lucky enough to play a popular film, and there will always be some films that he has watched blindly. ”
Li Yu said to the people in the company this time: "If I really meet the role I want to play, then I am willing to take no matter how low the salary is." But if I don't like such a drama, I won't be able to star in a 'billion dollars' if I give it to me, and of course the crew can't get a billion dollars, you can recommend Lu Han to the crew to try. Recently, I plan to write two Chinese songs, or English songs. ”
At this time, the people from the company looked at Li Yu and said, "You don't count this matter." ”
"Really? Then you should carefully read the contract I signed with the company, and the company only has a brokerage contract for my activities here in Korea. Okay, I'm too lazy to tell you. If you want to agree to sign the contract, then you have to do a good job of compensating for liquidated damages, and I will definitely not act. ”
Maybe Li Yu's attitude really made the director of the company crazy, Li Yu was the first artist to talk to him like this, he looked at Li Yu with wide eyes and said, "You're not afraid that the company will ban you?" ”
Li Yu laughed suddenly: "Hahaha, ban me? It's a big deal that I'm not developing in South Korea, what a big deal, anyway, you only have my economic contract in South Korea, and I will go back to China to write Chinese songs. Don't threaten me, you ask Li Xiuman, what does my family do, I don't mind notifying my family of the hostile acquisition of 'S.M' shares. ”
Dropping this sentence, Li Yu left the company's artist management room. This is the first time Li Yu has quarreled with the company.
After this quarrel, Li Yu was completely idle, of course, there were some activities on the 'EXO' side, but not as much as in the first few months.
In this way, Li Yu rejected the proposal of "Little Times". Although he missed the movie that was the originator of traffic, Li Yu felt that he didn't need to play it, there would be opportunities in the future, and those films with good reputation, even if he played a supporting role, he would be completely acceptable.
At the end of the year, unconsciously came, various awards began to appear, from the awards in China to the awards in South Korea, Li Yu was busy again.
And after Li Yu rejected the movie with a billion salary, the company didn't say much...
