My landlord is a big star

Chapter 178 176. Care about her for the rest of her life?
The world interests of adults appear more important.

Asking Li Xiuman to help him sign Kim Taeyeon and Kim Heechul is equivalent to tearing down all the pillars of SM with his own hands.

The company has been established for so many years, there are only a few famous artists who can explode gold coins, and artists who do not make money have very few resources, but some artists will not give resources to SM even if they can make money.

The reason is very simple, SM wants to control the popularity, no company wants to reproduce the tragedy of the MissA group again.

Xu Lin looked calm, and nodded calmly: "Maybe director Li Chengxiu wants to prove his ability to you?"

"I can see his ability." Li Xiu looked at the other party with a full smile: "But it is not a good thing to rush, Taeyeon will release a new album later, and Heechul will return with the team. If I give it all to you, SM may not be able to bear it."

SM is like a big house, with many pillars supporting the development of the company. If one of the pillars is removed, nothing will happen, but if all the pillars are removed, the house will collapse immediately.

You must know that fans have a lot of opinions on SM, each fan has scolded the three major agencies to varying degrees.

But, scolding is scolding.

Fans will still explode gold coins when artists release albums.

Xu Lin sighed softly after hearing his words: "President Li is wrong to think this way. You also know that the president of SM is now President Kim. Your nephew wants to seize power from him. The biggest reliance It’s still President Li, at least SM’s surname is Jin now.”

"...Things can take their time." Li Xiuman leaned on the seat and said with a smile: "I believe in Director Chengxiu's ability."

"But do you believe in President Kim's ability?" Xu Lin smiled and stretched out his index finger towards Li Xiuman: "In early 16, Red Velvet released a new album to satirize the incident last year, but it was boycotted, and they didn't gain fame or fortune. It can continue Girls’ Generation, but because of the release of that album, there are problems with the reviews.”

Speaking of this, Xu Lin narrowed his eyes and shook his head: "You have seen the final result. Twice has successfully occupied the majority of the girl group market. Maybe they are the combination that will continue the glory of Girls' Generation. They didn't make much money, and the reputation was ruined. Jin The president...is not capable enough."

"..."

These words made Li Xiuman fall silent again. As a businessman, his main purpose is to make money. If the group cannot make money, it will be useless no matter how hard it persists. Entertainment companies do not support idle people.

Red Velvet is okay, the wind commentary came back later, but it can be operated according to Jin Yingmin's dizzy brain...

Who knows if he will harm established artists.

No!

Those children are their own cash cows!

After thinking it over clearly, Li Xiuman immediately smiled: "I am most worried about Taeyeon, Heechul is a child who is free by nature, even I can't control him, are you sure you want to sign this child?"

"...Or let me sign the entire Red Velvet." Xu Lin said with a smile: "The life span of the group is so long, and the company already has many artists. Five girls?"

"I'm afraid I can't give you Red Velvet." Li Xiuman smiled and shook his head: "Well, Taeyeon can sign it to you. Heechul will come back with the group in the future. He can't, and Red Velvet can't."

"...Why?" Xu Lin asked pretending to be puzzled.

"It's true that the group's growth period is relatively short, but this group of children was selected by me, Li Xiuman, and I can't sign it to you."

"Ah... the president really values ​​love and righteousness!"

Xu Lin seized the opportunity to give a compliment, but secretly complained in his heart.

The bullshit puts a lot of emphasis on love and righteousness. This Lao Deng just doesn't want to let himself participate in the idol industry. What he said is nice... The portfolio market is so big that more people come in means more share of the pie.

This old guard is really dead.

Fortunately, my goal has always been Kim Taeyeon.

This is a common bargaining method used by Chinese people. If he said that he wanted Kim Taeyeon at the beginning, the chances of success were not high, but he told Li Xiuman directly that he wanted to sign Kim Heechul, Kim Taeyeon and Red Velvet...

Then the other party will subconsciously make a choice to abandon an artist to reduce the loss of the entire company.

Greed is a vice that businessmen cannot give up.

Xu Lin nodded and got up and invited: "Then President Li will sign the contract with me, and everyone will be relieved to finish it earlier."

"Hmm... yes." Li Xiuman got up: "Does President Kim know about this? Is it still the same contract as Yoona?"

"That's right, the same contract as Yoona."

The two came to the company's personnel department all the way. After Li Xiuman briefly told Quan Jinsheng about his requirements, they went to print the contract for convenience.

Of course, Kim Taeyeon had to be notified about the signing, so Xu Lin made a special phone call to the other party while waiting for the contract, and told her what happened without embellishing the slightest bit.

When Taeyeon heard the news, she immediately said that it doesn't matter. Although she values ​​love and righteousness and is grateful for the company's nurturing grace, it is impossible for the other party to sell herself and say she doesn't want to leave. She is not stupid. Lin Yuner's development is obvious to all. Competing for resources with the younger generation, she wants to go to Xu Lin's studio with dignity to develop her career with peace of mind.

Besides, going to the studio doesn't mean leaving SM, it's just a change of boss and more resources, so why not do it.

Artists' mentality changes with age.

As a result, the handover contract was signed very smoothly.

Only Jin Yingmin was not very willing.

A week has passed in the blink of an eye, and the temperature is getting colder. The studio and various entertainment companies have issued several statements.

[SM Entertainment]: After friendly negotiation with artists, Kim Taeyeon established an independent studio and incorporated it into XUtsudio studio.

【Management SOOP】: Actor Kong Liu established an independent studio, which will be merged into XUtsudio studio immediately.

[Management SOOP]: Actor Zheng Yumei established an independent studio, which will be merged into XUtsudio studio immediately.

The three announcements made Xu Lin once again hit the hot searches on the Korean Internet. Although it was said to be merged, it was actually joining his studio.

The company has the advantages his studio has, and it is more free for artists and has more choices. Most of the fans choose to support them, and feel that Xu Lin will treat the artists well.

【Ahhh, Xu Lin is so handsome! ! (I am Taeyeon)]

【Everyone knows us well. In fact, from the very beginning, we felt that Director Xu Lin was talented and rich in art. SM is really unfamiliar. Director Xu is so handsome! (I take care of Taeyeon and Gong Liu)]

[Is Xu Lin planning to develop the studio into a company? 】

[It's not a company, it's a studio! 】

[The studio can be exempted from the company's taxes, and artists earn more, so his studio will be very popular]

[Ah, isn't this tax evasion? 】

[Who told you this was tax evasion?It's just that you pay less, but it's not that you don't pay, Asiba, can you study more? 】

[Anyway, I think it's pretty good KKKK Xu Lin, come on! 】

[Director Xu Lin, what do you think of Pei Zhuxuan?Or look at HyunA, KwangSoo, and Wuil Heechul! 】

For a while, the Internet was full of artist recommendations for Xu Lin. As long as fans had opinions on the company, they would strongly recommend Xu Lin.

However, signing artists is not done casually. You must first measure the commercial value of the other party and whether it can support the resource investment. Mainly, there are many Korean artists, and many artists trade at a loss.

It is impossible to sign a contract randomly.

Still have to see...
-
"Wow...are you in such good shape today?"

On the sofa in the living room, Lin Yun'er put the computer on her lap, her eyes were shining, and she looked at Xu Lin beside her enviously.

On the computer screen was the script he had just written. Under the curious eyes of his girlfriend, Xu Lin showed it to her. As a result, he received a wave of praise, and he felt an inexplicable sense of pride in his heart.

"Ha, actually I haven't finished writing it yet. These are just the more important plots. You will be even more surprised when you finish writing it in a few days."

"Then when will the filming of your movie start?" Lin Yuner approached him and asked, "I'll see you when I have time."

"It should be on the same schedule as your movie. I dare not tell you the time. What if the filming goes smoothly and it is released earlier?"

"..."

As soon as she heard that it was the same schedule, Lin Yuner immediately fainted.

Two days ago, she just received an invitation for a movie, and after reading the script, she decided to act in it. The name is "Extreme Escape", which is a funny disaster escape movie with a relatively comic effect.

But this movie was made at the same time as Xu Lin's... Lin Yuner didn't think she could surpass him, but she didn't think she would lose to him.

No one can say anything about the movie.

What if... my movie is better than his?
Lin Yuner rallied and patted Xu Lin's arm: "If it's really in the same period, don't lose to me. My movie is very good, and the cast is not bad. You have to be careful."

"... Why do you look at the cast of the movie?" Xu Lin raised his head and squinted at her: "Is it right to look at the plot of the script?"

"Oh, don't worry about it."

"Mainly, I also want to invite big-name actors."

"Who do you want to play?" Lin Yuner raised her head and said, "Do you know Oppa Cao Jung-seok? I will play him in this movie."

"You know, "Introduction to Architecture", right?"

"...Yes!" Lin Yuner smiled happily.

Cao Jung-seok is the actor who won the Best Actor Newcomer Award at the 33rd Blue Dragon Film Awards in Korea. In terms of strength and status, he is no worse than Xu Lin's queen actors, and it looks like his new movie can be compared.

Xu Lin didn't refute his girlfriend, but nodded with a smile.

"Great actor."

"Yeah... By the way, I want to eat Haidilao." Lin Yuner hugged his arm: "I promised Chinese fans to do a hot pot live broadcast before, but I really don't have time later, so I am going to do a live broadcast, so that Is the agreement completed?"

"Uh, are you going now?" Xu Lin rolled his eyes at the French windows.

It's pitch black outside, there seems to be dark clouds flowing in the sky, it feels like it's about to snow, now go out to eat hot pot...

There is a high probability that it will snow.

However, since it was his girlfriend's request, Xu Lin got up with a whoop, took her hand, and said:
"Let's go then, I just want to eat too."

"Really?" Lin Yun'er used his strength to stand up: "Then I'll get the equipment and you can help me take pictures."

"Okay." Xu Lin nodded and turned to get the car keys.

After the young couple got the shooting equipment and car keys, they took the elevator to the underground parking lot and drove to dinner.

Even in winter, Seoul is not deserted at night. All kinds of handsome men and beauties pass by on the bright roadside, and their outfits are also very eye-catching. Korean girls seem to be not afraid of the cold, and some of them have bare legs.

Xu Lin glanced quietly at the outside of the car and continued driving.

Live broadcasting is the latest media method in recent years. Many artists will broadcast live broadcasts to chat with fans.

After arriving at the hot pot restaurant, Xu Lin asked for an inconspicuous seat.

Don't disturb other people's meals.

After the young couple sat down, they ordered food. Xu Lin preferred meat, so all he ordered were beef or mutton.

Then... successfully attracted Lin Yuner's glaring gaze.

"Hey, where are the vegetables?"

"Uh...why does the hot pot eat vegetables." Xu Lin retorted in a very low voice, like a mosquito, and then he looked at the smiling waiter beside him: "Well, let's have some vegetables like mushrooms."

"Okay, is there anything else you need?"

The waiter took the menu and looked at the two with a smile.

In fact, he was very excited, but the hotel has a rule that if you meet an artist who comes to have a meal, you can't disturb the other party. If you want an autograph, you can wait for the artist to have a meal before asking for it.

Lin Yuner raised her head, looked at the waiter along the brim of her red hat, and said softly, "Two vegetable platters, please, thank you."

"You're welcome, this is what we should do."

After the waiter finished speaking, he turned and went to serve the food.

Xu Lin sighed slightly: "Ah, can you not be fierce outside, I don't want face, really..."

"How can this be against you." Lin Yuner shrugged: "I am concerned about your health. If you eat meat or not vegetables, you will gain weight. You don't want to be asked by fans to manage your body, do you?"

"...Where do I get fans from?"

"I am." Lin Yun'er's eyes curved: "As a fan, I have the right to supervise your body management."

"..."

Xu Lin picked up the water glass depressedly and took a sip of tea.

There is nothing he can do about his girlfriend's behavior. It may be the habit of being an idol all the year round. She is very strict with her body. Whenever Xu Lin shows signs of gaining weight, she will push her to the gym.

Although he usually goes there, being forced is different from voluntary, and it is precisely because of this that Xu Lin has always been in good shape.

Everything should be there.

Like the abdominal muscles, the pectoral muscles, because they are all very big.

Haidilao's serving speed is not slow, and soon the waiter pushed the trolley to serve the dishes, and all kinds of meat were served on the table.

Lin Yuner thanked and started to adjust the equipment, while Xu Lin took two small bowls to get the dipping sauce.

When he came back, the hot pot was already steaming.

The meat and vegetables were also thrown away by Lin Yuner.

She looked at Xu Lin who was sitting opposite her, and hissed:
"Wait a minute, you are not allowed to speak."

"Understood." Xu Lin nodded: "Are you going to broadcast live now? Don't you want to eat something to fill your stomach first?"

"No need."

After Lin Yuner finished adjusting the equipment, she glanced at Xu Lin, and hinted to him not to speak with her eyes. Seeing him nodding, she started the live broadcast.

Her delicate little face appeared on the screen, even without makeup, she was extraordinarily pure, coupled with the red hat she was wearing, she looked like a college student, and her real age could not be seen at all.

She first waved her hand at the screen, and then slowly explained the reason for the sudden live broadcast.

And Xu Lin was silently cooking in front of her, raised his head and glanced at Lin Yuner's kind words, and the corner of his mouth twitched.

He didn't know much about the live broadcast, anyway, he was silently watching Lin Yun'er chatting with fans, showing the dishes, and talking about his favorite dipping sauce.

After eating like this for about half an hour, Lin Yuner turned off the live broadcast, then smiled and stretched out her right palm to Xu Lin.

with a snap.

After Xu Lin gave her a high-five, he asked, "Is that all right? Will the fans be satisfied with such a short live broadcast?"

"Half an hour is not short." Lin Yuner explained: "Didn't you say that actors should maintain a sense of mystery? They can't show their faces all the time."

"Ah... yes."

The young couple who ate the steaming hot pot were very satisfied. After paying the bill, they each signed their names and walked out of the store.

The street was now covered with snowflakes. Lin Yuner raised her eyes to look at the slowly falling snow, and a smile appeared on her face unconsciously. This was the fourth first snowfall that she and Xu Lin had watched together.

"Xu Lin, it's snowing."

"Hmm..." Xu Lin glanced at Lin Yun'er, took the initiative to hold her hand, and put it in his pocket: "Chuxue."

"Shall we go home now?"

Feeling the warmth of her big hands, Lin Yuner asked.

Of course Xu Lin could understand what she meant, and shook his head: "Let's take a walk first? Anyway, I'm wearing thick clothes, so I'm not afraid of the cold, what do you think?"

"Hee hee hee, this is what you asked for."

"Well, I asked for it." Xu Lin smiled.

At this time, Lin Yun'er was like a winter elf, her fair face was full of yearning for a better life.

The young couple walked slowly along the street.

The passers-by were in a hurry, but they didn't pay much attention to the two of them.

Xu Lin let out a mouthful of white mist, and looked sideways at Lin Yuner: "If two people walk together in the snow, they will definitely grow old together."

"...Why?" Lin Yuner was curious.

"What else could it be because of?" Xu Lin raised his hand to brush the snowflakes from her hair: "Because of the color of the snow."

"Oh~ Do you want to grow old together with me?"

"We all took a walk in the snow together, what do you think?"

"Hahaha……"

Ten minutes later, Lin Yuner dragged Xu Lin back, feeling an indescribable feeling in her heart, like a deer bumping around?
Anyway, it was because of his saying that we will grow old together.

Suddenly, she stopped and said:
"Xu Lin, I don't want to leave."

"Ah?" Xu Lin blinked: "Why? We'll be in the parking lot soon, let's go home first, it's quite cold outside."

"Oh, no!" Lin Yun'er stood beside the street and looked at him prettyly: "My leg hurts, can you carry me on your back?"

"... carrying you?"

"you are not willing?"

"..."

Xu Lin looked around, the passers-by were busy with their own business, apparently didn't pay attention to what the young couple said, let alone the two of them.

So, with a chuckle, he knelt down and shouted:

"Then come up."

"I'm heavy."

After saying this, Lin Yuner had already laid on his back, her arms were wrapped around his neck, and her legs were wrapped around his waist.

Xu Lin supported her legs with both arms, and muttered as she walked: "How heavy is it? If you ask me, you should eat more. You are no longer an idol. Actors put on weight for acting..."

"..."

Listening to his instructions like an old mother, Lin Yuner quietly approached his ear with her small head, and murmured coquettishly:
"If you care about me so much, you will care about me for the rest of your life?"

"..."

Hearing this, Xu Lin shut up instantly, and slowed down his steps. His mind went blank for a while, and he subconsciously nodded in agreement.

"it is good……"
