The rise of Korean entertainment.

Chapter 3479 Creating Trouble

"If apologies work, then what's the point of having laws?" Xu Xian pointed at the women and threatened them fiercely, "I'm warning you, you're in big trouble. I'm going to sue you!"

Although the girls tried their best to act scared, they still couldn't help laughing.

How big a mistake have they made that it needs to be escalated to the legal level?

Even if it is taken too seriously, it is at most a moral issue.

However, if it happens to ordinary people, it will probably be a joke, but if you have to say it, artists cannot deal with it so easily.

Because of their status, the public has extremely strict requirements for artists. Even if it is just a moral issue, it is still enough to ruin an artist's career.

This point is often exaggerated when many artists cry and complain, that is, the so-called grievance, depression, etc. They claim that they are just ordinary people.

But what can I say? This may be the price to pay for fame.

For example, Xu Xian's threat at this moment can probably be regarded as evidence that they are bullying the youngest member.

  It seems that this can be explained as a joke within the team. Even if Xu Xian is really in a bad mood at the moment, is this normal? Have they never cared about Xu Xian?

But the media will not report it like this, they will just report it in the most extreme way.

Once a subsequent chain reaction is triggered, this topic will be enough to become the fuse that detonates a crisis within their team.

This is not alarmist, because similar news is exposed almost every year, and it is not uncommon for groups to disband directly because of this, even top groups.

So compared to threatening people at the so-called legal level, it would be better for Xu Xian to go the media route of exposing the matter. Maybe they would be a little scared.

But these kinds of revelations are mutual. If Xu Xian can accuse them, then they can naturally fight back.

And this is the part that the media likes most, that is, the "fighting" within the team. The topic is enough for the media to eat their fill.

Considering the girls' current size and fan base, this is more than just a way of making the media hungry. It is possible that the media will die of starvation.

But would Xu Xian do that? Why would she go to the media to take advantage of them? Does she have a good impression of the media?

As long as they are an artist, they don’t like the media, no matter whether it is formal or not. This is their common voice.

However, if artists want to develop, they cannot do without media publicity, including those gossip tabloids. In short, the relationship between them is quite complicated.

Xu Xian has been harassed by the media a lot in recent years, but she is clean enough and it is difficult for the media to catch her.

So since she can’t sue them, nor can she expose them in the media, it seems that Xu Xian’s only way out is to rely on her own fists?

  But even Li Menglong had to retreat when faced with the attack of these women. Why does Xu Xian think she can defeat them?

No matter how she thought about it, there was no chance of winning, so Xu Xian could only lower her voice silently. She admitted that she had no way to deal with these women, so she lost!

But Xu Xian didn't need to be too lonely, because these women still had some conscience. At least they couldn't bear to see Xu Xian looking so depressed.

So they quickly came forward to comfort Xu Xian, and offered her all kinds of conditions as if they were free, emphasizing her generosity.

As for how many of these promises can be fulfilled, that is another matter.

After all, the women who make the promise at this moment and the women who need to fulfill the promise later are two different people, and they will have different considerations.

Xu Xian also knew this clearly, so she didn't mean to take it seriously at all. She just listened to the words.

However, it is quite rare to get them to say these things. Looking at the treatment Li Menglong received, what else can she complain about?

I just happened to have tricked them into coming here to practice, and I was worried that they would retaliate later. Now it seems I have nothing to worry about.

"So how long are you going to rest? You've already replenished your energy, you need to get moving!"

Xu Xian pumped her fists in the air and tried to cheer the women on, but they looked incredulous.

  Did they eat anything? Why don't they remember? Is there any discrepancy between their perceptions?

If that little bit of batter residue can be considered food, then they really need to have a good talk with Xu Xian. Is this little girl trying to cause trouble on purpose?

But Xu Xian had already run away. She was still full of strength and she wanted to vent it out.

  After all, she is also under pressure. Living with ordinary young and beautiful girls every day, can she accept mediocrity?

It would be fine if it were some congenital problem, such as height which cannot be changed, but body shape can be completely controlled by oneself.

Xu Xian will undoubtedly have to work harder in this regard, since she was born with a larger frame, which is a disadvantage brought by her height.

However, it would be better for her not to say such things in front of the girls, because some people would be offended. Who they would be offended would depend on their personal involvement, but a conservative estimate would be two or three.

  Since Seohyun has started moving, it would be difficult for the girls to continue resting. One can only say that it is their "blessing" to have such a youngest member!

While the girls were trying hard to contact each other, Li Menglong was really a little bored.

He actually doesn't have as much personal free time as one might imagine, after all, he has to live with the girls after get off work.

Considering the nature of his job, it can basically be said that he is working whenever he meets girls.

  If you calculate it this way, doesn't he work at least ten hours a day? And he only has lunch breaks all year round!

This sounds pretty scary, although many fans will be envious.

Li Menglong himself didn't have any intention of complaining about this. After all, these girls were generally very considerate. At the very least, they were willing to spend money, which was something he couldn't refuse.

The bosses are practicing at the moment and have not assigned him any work. Are they letting him perform freely?

Just as Xu Xian expected, the boss's wife tried to recruit Li Menglong to work as a temporary worker.

But Li Menglong didn't appreciate it at all: "How much can you pay for that one hour? I, Li Menglong, am destined to create greater value!"

Li Menglong has indeed been with these girls for a long time, which has caused some changes in his view of money.

He is now determined to do something big, at least to show his own value.

As for why he had to do this, boredom was one reason, but he also wanted those women to look at him with new eyes!

After all, Li Menglong could guess the sarcasm they would say when they met later. It was nothing more than that they were working hard while Li Menglong was doing nothing.

Even if it was just to shut them up, Li Menglong had to work hard, but what should he do? After calculating his status, it was not impossible to start from the company and director level, but the effect would be too slow, and he couldn't wait.

Therefore, the focus still falls on the girls, and we still have to continue with their names to see if we can achieve some results as their agents.

For brokers, the work content is actually quite complicated. From decision-making to miscellaneous tasks, it is likely that they have to be involved in everything.

  But from the perspective of an artist, the most important quality is the ability to connect them to various jobs. After all, having a job means exposure and money, which is indeed the top priority!

After confirming this, Li Menglong began his action.

It’s actually not that difficult to find work for artists, of course, this refers to artists as famous as these girls. Work will come to them on their own, and the agent has to help them choose and decline.

Once the artist is not that popular, the personal ability of the agent will be tested.

It is true that Li Menglong has never had many opportunities to show his talents in this regard. After all, when he took over the girls' work, they were already at the peak of their careers.

However, although he has never experienced it, it does not mean that he has not worked hard in this area. He has consulted more than one senior.

In order to find opportunities for artists, those senior agents really do everything they can, such as bribery, treating, kneeling and begging, etc.

The most common and daily behavior is "indiscriminate bombing", which means sending resumes, emails, and phone calls to people in various corresponding industries, highlighting the continuous harassment.

To be honest, doing this is a bit unethical, and most people who are harassed will feel annoyed.

But there is no other solution. If one out of a hundred attempts succeeds, it’s not a loss. At least it gives the artist a chance to be exposed and a possibility of becoming a big hit.

Li Menglong feels that this is very inspiring. Just thinking about this kind of story of accompanying an artist from weakness to success step by step makes his blood boil!

He wished he could go back to the time when the girls had just debuted and frantically look for opportunities for them.

But it is not too late to mend the fold, Li Menglong must at least make up for his regrets.

So Li Menglong began to "harass" them proportionally based on the network of relationships he had accumulated.

He didn't realize at the moment how stupid he had done, but someone would come and tell him soon.

  Because of his harassment, half of the circle has been shocked!

Li Menglong may have considered many details, including being scolded by the girls after too many follow-up activities, but he only neglected to position himself correctly.

The same kind of people who do similar things are often novice agents working with artists who have just debuted from small companies.

Whether it is the agent himself, the artist, or the company, they have no connections or resources, so they can only rely on luck in this way.

Any agent who has worked for two years, at the very least, will invite the person he has entrusted with the task out, have a meal together, sing a song, and happily finalize the matter.

Li Menglong has now found a loophole. No famous agent would do the same as he did.

As for why, the reasons have gradually begun to emerge.

Anyone that Li Menglong can contact is not particularly low in their respective fields of work. This is understandable as newcomers in various industries have no chance to get to know him, Li Menglong.

So when these people saw the girls' resumes, they were almost dumbfounded.

  The industry is in such a recession now, that even Girls' Generation has to resort to this method to find work?

When the top stars of an industry have to come out to "beg for food", there is obviously something wrong with this industry.

Although this industry cannot be called a sunrise industry, it does not show many signs of decline.

It seems that the problem lies with the company, or with Girls' Generation itself.

  The former is nothing more than the company's investment failure, and it needs to let the girls engage in crazy activities to ensure liquidity. It's so ugly, is it going to go bankrupt?

As for the latter, the problem is even more serious!

It is unlikely that the girls will go bankrupt individually. Even if one or two of them go bankrupt, the entire team will not be blamed.

So most likely there is some big scandal within their organization, which has been suppressed so far, but no one knows when it will explode.

So it's a very realistic idea to make some money while it's still hot.

Everyone has their own guesses, but the best way to confirm specific information is to ask friends who know first-hand information.

The rule of six states that any given stranger can be contacted through a maximum of five people.

The same applies to the entertainment industry, as this type of information must be backed by a strong background and character, so there are basically only a few people who are ultimately confirmed.

Yoo Jae-suk, Kim Jong-kook, and Lee Eun-hee all received more than one phone call, asking right away if the company was going to go bankrupt.

After a few people denied it with confused looks on their faces, there were all kinds of subsequent speculations.

After all, the scandals of young girls can cover too many areas, and everyone's speculation is extremely explosive. Suspicions such as having children can be asked openly.

In addition to these people, the girls, as the parties involved, also have many friends in the circle, so they naturally received caring greetings.

"What do you mean? Tell me again, one of us is secretly pregnant, and the child is already three years old? How come I didn't know?"

If the person on the other end of the phone was not her friend and was just giving a friendly reminder, Kim Taeyeon would really have started cursing.

There has to be some basic logic when spreading rumors.

They have indeed taken more time off in the past two years, but they still appear on the road in public basically every month, and more than once.

But if it were four or five years ago, they were at the peak of their schedules, and every day they were either performing or on the way to a performance.

  They want to sleep in the car every day. In this situation, we still want them to "find time" to have a baby?

Are we overestimating their ability to be lazy? They are also human beings. They have the same 24 hours a day and don't have a few extra hours to have children.

Kim Taeyeon is really angry this time. She is determined to sue the rumor maker until he goes bankrupt. So where is the source of the rumor? Do you dare to stand up and confront him?
