Chapter 216 Daytime Cumulus Clouds (10k)(1/2)
"Do you want to try solo?" Li Xiuman raised her head from behind the desk in surprise, and Taeyeon, who was following her next to her, looked shocked.
"Yeah." Xika lowered her head and rubbed her hands nervously. To be honest, she was still a little afraid of Li Xiuman. "Actually, teacher, I hesitated yesterday because of this. Although I know that the team will talk about the overall situation on the fifth anniversary, I think I have the strength to solo..."
"Oh." Li Xiuman immediately restrained his expression and nodded as usual. "Solo's words are not bad. Your strength and popularity are indeed fine. But Xiuyan, there are so many people in the company but the resources are limited, so how to allocate and arrange them is a big problem. What's more, you said that the fifth anniversary of your debut is about to be. In addition to beg, you are the second one. What's more important is that you are currently the first day group. If you can maintain stability and all members can spend the five-year spell, it's very meaningful. So, even if this matter is very operational, it's best to wait until after the summer vacation..."
To be honest, although Li Xiuman looks like he is sure to hold all the words, this person is actually a little confused, because he really thought that Sika was tired of idol's life yesterday and was going to go back to be her eldest princess. And this is not a good thing, because Sika is different from Sunny. After all, Sunny is her niece, and no matter how unhappy she is, she will consider her opinions and attitudes; and Sika, to put it bluntly, she said she was leaving the team today, and Li Xiuman could only watch...
In fact, Li Xiuman was preparing to call Kim Jong-ming last night.
But unexpectedly, after coming back one night, the other party gave her such an answer. She was not tired of it, but wanted better treatment!
In short, the reversal of the matter made Li Xiuman feel relieved while being a little confused, so he could only try his best to fool him.
"Then... that's it." Li Xiu said thirstyly and finally came to a specious conclusion. "Soyan, I have fully understood what you mean, but the company also has company considerations. Give us some time, or solo, or join the team, and I will answer you within a week...how?"
"That's it." Sika replied lightly without any trouble. "It's most appropriate for you to consider this matter, teacher."
Li Xiuman was a little confused again, and then he realized that after a round trip, he suddenly needed to hesitate about what the other party was hesitating about yesterday?
Thinking of this, he couldn't help asking: "Have you discussed this with Zhong Ming?"
"Oh." Xika, who had already arrived in front of the door, suddenly thought of something and quickly turned around and said. "By the way, Teacher Li Xiuman, Wood asked me to tell you... If the team released an album, it could be earlier, otherwise it would make people imagine if they collided with apink."
"What kind of imagination?" The topic turned too fast, and Li Xiuman didn't react at all for a while.
"It was said that Apink returned for the first time this year and hit Tara again. When he hit us again the second time, it was like someone was deliberately besieging this newcomer group... This is what Wood said."
Li Xiuman sighed helplessly. He had already fully understood that Xika's mind might not be that she guessed wrong yesterday, but there was a smart and domineering Kim Jong-ming behind her, so that she could gently push the blame for the matter to herself.
However, apink, Shaoshi, Tara... Li Xiuman had something to say about this matter: "You go back and tell Zhong Ming, I already know what he means about this matter. But you have to ask me, Shaoshi Mayday may be returning in a small team to hit the apink, but does he know when Tara will ‘return’? Then we will get out of the way. Wouldn’t it be a waste of his hard work if Tara hits in again?"
The sarcas and Taeyeon, who were still in the office, both understood the other party's meaning... Tara returned three and a half times in the past seven months. Who knows if she will come back in May? Kim Jong-ming didn't warn Tara, who had hit apink once, ran over to remind Shao Shi... Isn't this putting the cart before the horse? Who can convince?!
In fact, even from a private standpoint, Taeyeon and Sika have a good relationship with Tara members, but from the perspective of the combination, they are also wary and uneasy about the other party's unruly activities.
In fact... In a sense, Lee Soo-man's ridicule is really not too much, because although Kim Kwang-soo didn't let Tara return again in May, even if he just finished playing songs, he would definitely not be idle.
On March 4, he took Lee Yalin to meet several members of Tara. The next day, Kim Kwang-soo, who was interested, announced and began to implement a series of plans.
First, on March 6, CCM company launched the official official channel of Tara on Youtube as planned... Well, of course it's nothing, it's natural; then Kim Kwang-soo started to contact some channels, preparing to start a concert in Southeast Asia, Japan, and South Korea, and began to pre-sale tickets in early March... It's nothing to say, it's just to make money; but a few days later, the third news announced by M company was a bit eye-catching. They unconcealedly announced the return plan after the Tara concert. In June, Tara will release its first official Japanese album, and in July, a new Korean mini album will be released!
Why is this news so eye-catching? Just open your fingers and calculate it. From June 29, 2011 to July this year, it took just one year. The album released by the former is actually Tara's second mini album, and the latter is the sixth mini album. Among them, there is not all kinds of formal and informal activities in Japan. In December last year, they also had a single collaborative with Kang Min-kyung and Lee Hae-ri... It has returned five and a half times in total! It returns once every two months on average! Others basically return once every six months, and even after becoming famous, there is a group that officially returns once a year!
So, as soon as the news came out, colleagues mocked her. Should they thank them for not coming back in April and May? Moreover, Tara is now a top girl group. Look at the performance of February just now. When you come back, others will have no food to eat? Why are they still not following the rules like the newcomer period? If you don’t talk about anything else, if you are the same as you, should all other girl groups be disbanded?
In short, after the various plans were announced, everyone was watching. It is said that even the TV station PDF mocked the greed of CCM.
However, not to mention Kim Kwang-soo is too lazy to pay attention to his peers' disgusting gazes. In fact, even if you run to him and talk, he can't stop at this time. At the same time, the reason why Tara did not have an open event in April and May is not that it really needs to be adjusted, nor that it wants to leave two or three months of gap for his peers' face. But during this period, this group will do its best to carry out film and television activities!
Thinking about it, Kim Kwang-soo didn't forget to have a group variety show while having Hyo Min, Eun-jing, and Shou-yeon made a musical. How could he waste three months? In fact, Kim Kwang-soo's abacus was very loud. Ji-yeon's movie will be released in late March, and Shou-yeon's first TV series also came with it, "The God of Martial Arts" and the weekend drama of mbc costume production, and it will be about to start filming. Since that's the case, it's better to release Eun-jing, Hyo Min, and Ju-ri, three members who are already very good at acting, and make a good shot of TV series screens!
Does cj lack film and television resources? Don’t joke internationally!
So, things were settled so happily. Before the release of the new album, in addition to the regular commercial performance, all the main players were sent to conduct film and television activities while producing two albums... Well, it is worth mentioning that in these two albums that have begun to enter the production process, the new Mai Nai Lee Yalin has also begun to participate in the rehearsal formally and comprehensively. Kim Kwang-soo is also preparing to announce the news to the public when Ji Yeon's movie is released at the end of the month.
In short, for a moment, Kim Kwang-soo felt that the situation he was facing was not a small but a big one!
However, Kim Kwang-soo felt that the spring in March was bright, and his boss had not had a good time in March... The reason was clearly seen in Korea. Lee Jae-hyun and his son’s equity appeal against Samsung Life was difficult. It has been more than a month, and the lawsuit has made almost no progress except for the large amount of lawyer fees.
The reason for this is that Lee Kun-hee faced the violent counterattack of his brother (actually his nephew, and it was difficult for his brother to sit up) and adopted an extremely conservative but extremely safe strategy! Everyone formed a group of half of the outstanding lawyers from South Korea and then put them in court to argue, not asking for winning, but only asking for not losing.
By the way, it is not an exaggeration to fight a lawsuit involving a lawsuit of about one trillion won for two years, right? If it doesn’t work, the second trial will take another two years!
This is a very correct strategy. Lee Mong-hee is 6 years older than Lee Kun-hee, has half a lung cut, and has cancer cells on her body... Ghosts know who can hold on to it better. Otherwise? If Lee Mong-hee wasn't in danger, why did Lee Jae-hyun take this risk? His father's physical condition is indeed seven inches here.
Of course, after all, Lee Jae-hyun is not stupid either, he had expected this.
In fact, as the Prince of Hidden in South Korea, Li Jae-hyun knew better than anyone else that if he discussed such a big issue on this small island country, the final trial result must not be about the fight between nearly a hundred lawyers, but about the private game. Therefore, during this period, President Li almost used all his tricks to his uncle, both open and secret, big and small, and those who can do it cannot do it... Even knowing that his uncle has the habit of "technicians", he began to make people secretly film undercover in the cool!
However, Lee Kun-hee probably knew that this was a critical moment, so after the New Year, he stayed quietly and didn’t even touch a golf, so how could he talk about finding a technician?
So, in all kinds of helplessness, Lee Jae-hyun couldn't help calling a few peripheral girls... Well, he needed the help of his childhood friend Ren Taixi. When this childhood friend was with him, his favorite thing was to hide in a safe suite and ask a few peripheral girls to serve him.
What do you mean? I'm used to it. The two of them are used to talking about serious matters afterwards, and this time is no exception.
"I'm afraid it's difficult for me to give you substantial help now." After a while, after taking a shower, I changed my clothes and came to the reception room... Uh, the Korean economic expert, Minister of Labor, and Director of the President's Secretary-General Ren Tae-hee lit a cigarette a little annoyed as soon as she entered the door. The slightly defeated head seemed very funny under the chandelier.
"How do you say this?" Li Jae-hyun, who had been waiting for the other party for a long time, immediately made a gesture, and then a confidant immediately took the women outside. Safely speaking, he would not have made this secret base.
"I know it's very difficult for you." Ren Taixi sat on the sofa without any image. "But it's very difficult for me. The party's support rate is okay. After all, President Li is still behind me, so it's not impossible to take a try, but the support rate outside is too low... You also know that if you can't have a national support rate of about 20% before the party's primary election, then these supporters will eventually give up on me."
"I know." Lee Jae-hyun nodded. "Political parties launch candidates to win the general election, and the party's primary election also depends on the overall support rate of the outside world. 20% is an admission ticket... But is it urgent?"
"I'm not anxious, I'm not anxious, I'm not anxious." Ren Taixi frowned slightly. "The primary election will be held in the middle of the year, and there are still several months left, but... do you have to wait until then to take measures?"
"That's true." Lee Jae-hyun nodded convincingly. "Propaganda and bribery, important people and institutions, don't save money you should spend. I'll get it here for you... It's a political game, how can it be useful if you don't burn money?"
"You have helped a lot." Ren Tae-hee sighed and replied. "It's only been a few days? Hundreds of billions of won have already helped me... However, no matter who the other party is, he is actually richer than us."
Lee Jae-hyun laughed silently... This is the truth. Which candidate has no financial support behind it? The money his uncle spent on Park Geun-hye must be his own multiple. No matter how hard Zheng Meng's business is, he is also the spokesperson of the chaebol natural. Behind Moon Jae-in is half a Busan rich man who provides him with nourishment. Even An Cheol-soo, who just popped up, is also the "consultant" of Posco Iron Manufacturing.
If I hadn't drank poison to quench my thirst, I might have been unable to hold on to Ren Taixi.
As a long-time friend, Ren Taixi naturally knew what the other party was laughing at, but he also knew that the other party must have some text waiting for him.
"Let me just say it." Li Jae-hyun said after laughing. "The two of us are prospering and losing. If you win, I will have the first-line chance to get the three-star back. I can't hold on halfway, and your political career will end here... So, we don't keep our efforts, and we don't care about anything."
"you mean?"
"It's very simple, don't be fooled. Let's stand together!"
"Don't joke, okay? Although everyone understands some things, it would be embarrassing if they really gave the impression of collusion between the National Civil Affairs and Business!"
"It's a joke, not a joke." Lee Jae-hyun finally lit a cigarette for himself. "Actually, I have a good image promotion strategy, but I need you and I to stand together publicly... Of course, I will definitely try to downplay this matter at that time, making people speechless."
"Your methods are always weird." Ren Taixi sneered.
"This is called taking a different approach." Li Zaixian replied jokingly. "In fact, spending money also requires strategy. If you really want to fight for money, my uncle was killed by money when I was forty. The reason why I survived until now is because I, a person with a big wild path, always play cards without following the common sense... Moreover, there are some other benefits to this method, so you should listen first!"
"So, what's the method?" Ren Taixi was actually a little absent-minded at this time. He still thought it was a stupid idea to stand on each other publicly, just to give it to the other side.
"You say yourself, what is the most headache-inducing thing about your conservative camp in power?" Lee Jae-hyun asked seriously with a smile. "Does the camp opposite naturally attract young people, but you can't pull them at all? For example, Park Geun-hye, her father is the...demonized image in the eyes of young people. Kim Jong-ming made a "Female President", which was just a different approach and avoiding those topics. However, these young people's willingness to participate in politics is too low, which gives you an opportunity to take advantage of it, right? And if you can make a breakthrough with young people, even if the approval rating is not yet reached, it will make all the powerful bigwigs in the party look at you with admiration, and maybe they can take the opportunity to unite with those who are anti-State within the party."
Ren Taixi turned on his hand and squeezed out the cigarette in the ashtray. To be honest, although he didn't hear the specific details, he was already very moved!
Because, Lee Jae-hyun's words suddenly made him think of someone, someone who has always made him feel a little worried and alert. Former Seoul Mayor Oh Se-hoon.
This person has a lower qualification than himself, and his economic level and governance experience are far inferior to himself, but because of his gentle style and a friendly image, and because of his age, he naturally has a much higher support rate among young people than many people in the party. Therefore, when Lee Myung-bak became president, he did not let his confidant beloved be left at the base camp, but he tried his best to send the inexperienced boy to the seat of the mayor of Seoul.
Although Wu Sehun eventually resigned due to lack of experience in governing, and although he was the new leader of the faction, the experience of that person did show some problems and proved that Lee Jae-hyun's statement who can hold the young people will definitely make those powerful parties within the party look at him with admiration.
Moreover, the young people's hostility towards Park Geun-hye has always been a weakness of the other party!
"What is the specific method?" Ren Taixi, who had been lying on the sofa with his head raised and pondered for a long time, suddenly turned his head and asked.
"I have a popular group under my leadership." Lee Jae-hyun said calmly.
"I know... the one who played house with that woman Luo Qingyuan." Ren Taixi couldn't help but sneer.
"Which year was that happening? And you were still working as the Minister of Labor at that time!"
"I don't mean that." Ren Taixi was speechless. "I just couldn't help but feel happy when I thought of that woman losing the Seoul mayoral election! Then, I continued..."
"Actually, it was very effective to use them as political road gravels before. Now they are more popular, so I have an idea... What do you think?"
"Saying that I am their fans?" After a while, Ren Taixi, the 55-year-old man, reacted. "Although he was still attending a fan meeting? I don't know who they are..."
"Are you really going to listen to their songs and watch their variety shows?" Lee Jae-hyun was speechless. "As a signal of throwing a stone to ask for directions, I'll help you have a chance, and you'll show off your face and say you're... uh, Park Soo-yeon's fan, to show off your image you got along with young people. If the response is good, let's have another follow-up plan, similar to Ahn Cheol-soo's jazz tour preaching party."
"Oh." Ren Taixi suddenly realized. "It's natural that there is no problem if you do this. Let's see how the response is... But why is that Park..."
"Park Sooyeon."
"Park Shouyeon, why is this Park Shouyeon?" Ren Tae-hee asked in confusion.
"Because this group itself is a bit special, there are people behind them." Lee Jae-hyun did not hide it from the other party. "There is a person named Lee Ji-hyun in the group. Her father is a very qualified prosecutor and has dealt with me, so you can't say that she is a fan, she is too sensitive."
Ren Taixi's eyes lit up.
"There are also people named Han Eun-jing who have had an affair with Kim Jong-ming. In fact, as far as I know, they have really dated... So you can't claim to be her fans, because they will be very deliberate and will attract unnecessary vigilance." Lee Jae-hyun said with confidence. It was obvious that he had done his homework before coming, otherwise how could he pay attention to the composition of a group under his portfolio as his J as President J?
However, the homework was not done in vain. Once Jin Zhongming's name was revealed, Ren Taixi became even more interested. Not to mention anything else, no one would think that the money was low in the election!
"As for the remaining members, Jeon Bolan's image is too young, it may be embarrassing to say that she is her fans; the other members are from 93 and 94, and to be honest, it is not suitable." Lee Jae-hyun continued to explain seriously. "So, in fact, there are only two candidates that fit your image. Or it is helpful to your image. One is Park Hyo-min, who has a relatively small relationship with Kim Jong-ming, and the other is Park So-yeon, who was recommended by Kim Jong-ming to enter this group..."
"In that case, Park Soo-yeon will be very suitable." Ren Tae-hee nodded with satisfaction. "Can you give Kim Jong-ming a signal, but it will not stimulate him too much, and it will not cause any warning to those who are a little familiar with this group? For example, Luo Qing-won. In short, it is indeed a good candidate!"
"Did you agree?"
"Just try it when it comes to the father who is the prosecutor and the ex-boyfriend named Kim Jong-ming...! It's worth it just to throw a stone to ask for directions!"
"Yes!" Lee Jae-hyun sighed. "If Kim Jong-ming can bring me, I can breathe a sigh of relief. I've been too cruel to plunder the underworld these days, and the group has complained... I'll have a good chat with Tara's business president tomorrow."
"A word is determined." Ren Taixi immediately made up his mind.
By the way, the second day was March 15. Kim Kwang-soo had no idea that his president would meet him in the evening and would give him a very headache-inducing task. But at noon, he already felt that this March was a bit sunny and cloudy and then cloudy!
Because, he just discovered that his film and television strategy had a very...very speechless problem, or loopholes, uh, even the loopholes could not be called.
This is the thing. When Juli, Eun-jing, Xiaomin, and Zhao-yeon, all of these four prestigious people started their TV series itineraries with their respective agents and assistants. Then, there are only four people who have been concentrating on shooting MVs for a long time, or staying in the practice room for practice, there are actually only four... four people!
Really busy, fake busy, old busy, new busy, in short, none of these four people can control the situation, so some disharmonious things will follow.
In fact, Kim Kwang-soo was still mentally prepared for this, because she and Ji-yeon had a conflict on the TV station just after Yoo Hwa-young joined Tara, specifically in 2010.
To be continued...
