Peninsula Entertainment Starts as a Writer

Chapter 8 Ratings Poison
On the roof of the Zhonghua Pavilion, four people sat cross-legged on a low couch, staring wide-eyed.

The pork belly on the baking tray was sizzling, Han Zidong turned the pork belly over with the tongs, and struck with both hands, attracting the attention of the other three.

He glanced at the other three people one by one, and then he pointed to one of the girls and introduced, "This is Kim Min-soo, who just agreed to be my manga assistant, right?"

Jin Minxiu forced a smile, thinking that she just wanted to come over for some barbecue, when did she promise Han Zidong to be a manga assistant.

Just considering taking care of the face of the guests, she didn't refute aloud, which was regarded as acquiescing.

On the opposite side, Cui Xueli curled her lips and pulled off her mask, revealing that pretty face that often appeared on TV.

"Oh Mo? Oh Mo!"

Jin Minxiu sat up straight and covered her mouth in surprise. After a while, she tentatively said, "Maybe you are Shirley?"

Cui Xueli nodded.

"Big hair!"

"Okay, people who don't know think you're going to change careers to be a comedian."

Han Zidong interrupted Cui Xueli's fan meeting, looked at another girl with single eyelids, and motioned for Cui Xueli to help introduce her.

Cui Xueli put her arms around the shoulders of the girl with single eyelids, and introduced with a smile: "This is Seki, the same age as me."

Jiang Seulqi's eyebrows and eyes moved up, giving people a feeling that she was not easy to provoke, but when she laughed, her eyes disappeared into a slit, and she looked naive again. She took the initiative to say hello to Han Zidong and Jin Minxiu.

After a brief introduction to each other, Han Zidong called out Jin Minxiu, who turned into a fan girl, in the name of going downstairs to get food.

To be honest, he was a bit regretful, he just exchanged a few words with Kim Minsu on the phone, and mentioned that he was barbecued on the rooftop, if he had time, he could come and have a look.

It's just that what he didn't expect was that this female college student actually came, and she almost followed Cui Xueli and Jiang Seulqi.

What made him even more speechless was that this girl was still a hidden groupie.

After thinking about it, he reminded: "Today is just an ordinary dinner, you can restrain yourself later, can you?"

Jin Minxiu nodded furiously: "Then can I take a photo with Shirley? Don't worry, I won't post it on SNS."

"Xue Li is an entertainer, and she is most afraid of her private life being watched under a magnifying glass. If you can do this without telling anyone about what happened today, let alone taking pictures, maybe you can still be friends in the future."

Han Zidong tactfully rejected Kim Minsu's photo request for Cui Xueli: "There will be opportunities for taking pictures in the future."

Although Jin Minxiu felt a little regretful, he still patted his chest and said, "Don't worry, I guarantee that what happened today will rot in your stomach."

"By the way, great writer, how did you and Shirley meet?"

"That's a long story. To make a long story short, Shirley is very optimistic about my comic script. You also know that she has recently filmed a comic adaptation."

Han Zidong made an explanation casually, which can be considered as an idol halo for his comic career.

Jin Minxiu nodded and accepted the statement.

"Anyway, Minxiu, think carefully about whether you want to be my assistant. It's best to give me a reply as soon as possible. After the holiday is over, I will formally recruit an assistant."

"it is good."

"Wait a minute," Han Zidong turned his head, stared at Jin Minxiu and asked, "By the way, why have you been using plain language to me since yesterday?"

"We are the same year, let's get along well in the future, writer nim."

Jin Minxiu patted Han Zidong's arm, and happily walked towards the store.

On the rooftop, Jiang Seulqi asked cautiously while flipping the pork belly: "Sulli, this writer doesn't seem to be very old."

"Yes, Zidong Ouba was born in 91, and he has been in Seoul for less than a year."

"Dafa, I thought he was only a year or two older than us at most, and his face looks too young."

"I feel the same way, but I've seen his ID card, and it does say that he was born in 91. It can't be that his ID card is fake."

"By the way, didn't you say there are only three of us? How come there is a manga assistant suddenly?"

Cui Xueli raised her phone and replied: "Zidong Ouba said that sister Minxiu was passing by to deliver muffins. He didn't expect that, so he could only receive them by the way."

When Jiang Seulqi watched her friend reply to the mobile phone message, she had a smile on her face the whole time, and a kind of routine unfolded in her heart.

Just considering that Sulli has only debuted for three years, and f(x) is also on the rise, it is not very good to fall in love at this time.

Then should she persuade her?

Moreover, although Han Zidong claims to be a writer and is about to start a studio, he seems young and promising, but on the other hand, doesn't this mean that he has achieved nothing for the time being?

After thinking about it for a few times, Jiang Seulqi finally decided to play it by ear, in case she just thought too much.

With Han Zidong's reminder, Jin Minxiu stopped bluffing so much, and after eating a few rounds of barbecue, the atmosphere during the banquet gradually became warmer.

As the most educated person among the four, Kim Min-soo was highly respected by Cui Xueli and Jiang Seul-gi, and she completely let go amidst the sounds of O'Neill.

"Do you think drawing manga really has a future?"

Jiang Seulqi shook her head, she has not formally stepped into the show business circle, so she can't give an accurate answer to this question.

It was Cui Xueli who understood what Jin Minxiu meant, and she replied in a firm tone: "Of course, let's not talk about anything else, just talk about the film and television adaptation rights of comics. I heard that many production companies in the industry are buying the adaptation rights of popular comics.

Zidong Ouba told me about the outline of his script. I think it is very interesting. If the manga is indeed as exciting as he described, I will also propose to Mr. Li Xiuman to buy the right to adapt this manga. "

"No, please don't."

Han Zidong who just came up hurriedly stopped him, fearing that he would not be able to avoid it: "Sulli, you can sell the adaptation rights to anyone, but you can't sell them to SM CC."

"why?"

Also ask why, don't you know what to do?

"Then let me take an irresponsible guess, if your company buys the rights to adapt this comic, what cast should it be.

First of all, the male lead, the male lead should be Zheng Yunhao, the female lead is probably Li Yunxi or Gao Yala, the male lead is Shen Changmin, the female lead..."

When Han Zidong said this, he looked at Cui Xueli: "Who are the actresses in your company?"

Before Cui Xueli could answer, Han Zidong waved his hand again: "It's not important, Lin Yuner will play the second female role, and Cui Siwon will be the villain. As for other roles, it doesn't matter, anyway, you SM never want small roles."

It doesn’t matter what role positioning or idol’s acting skills, it seems absurd to give all the main characters of the series to the idols of their own company like pork, but that’s what SM CC does .

Since SM entered the film and television production in 2009, every drama has used this method for internal casting. Similarly, every drama produced and produced by SM company has been messed up.

The domineering casting method coupled with the dismal ratings made SM famous as a "bear" in the field of film and television production and was criticized.

He couldn't help but maliciously speculate that perhaps Shirley's new drama was also implicated by SM's notoriety, which is why the ratings were so poor.

Jiang Seulqi was silent when she heard it, Cui Xueli wanted to cry when she heard it, and Kim Minsu covered her mouth and tried her best to hold back her laughter.
