From that Korean city.

Chapter 195 Kidnapping Krystal! !To compromise or not to compromise? ?

In the afternoon, in a coffee shop at the entrance of a certain alley on a certain street in a certain block in Tokyo.

Lin Yi, who was eating in Shimbashi before, was now sitting face to face with Jessica in Akihabara, drinking drinks together.

Looking at the two girls downstairs who were walking out to play hand in hand, Jessica glanced at Lin Yi who was playing with her mobile phone next to her. "Is it really okay if you don't go with me? Actually, you don't have to accompany me."

"Don't think too much, I just don't want to go shopping." Lin Yi gave this answer without raising his head.

Jessica, who was stunned, was not only not angry, but asked back in an interesting way.

"I've always thought that the reason why men don't like to go shopping with women is because the women around them aren't pretty enough. So do you also have this idea? If it's Yoona, you probably won't refuse."

"No, I treat everyone equally."

Lin Yi, who took a sip of the drink in his glass, shook his head, holding back the hiccups that he wanted to burp.

On the other hand, Jessica glanced at the glass of cola lemonade in front of him, and sighed a little disgusted.

"Sometimes I really don't know how to say hello, eating sukiyaki is turned into your hot pot shabu-shabu, and drinking coffee is turned into KFC cola."

"The most important thing is to be happy and comfortable. You just have too many thoughts, so you have all kinds of messy emotions."

Lin Yi, who was disliked, turned against Jessica and continued to complain.

After listening to the words this time, Jessica was silent for a few minutes, until Lin Yi got up and ran to the toilet, and then slowly said, "Lin Yi, if Yun'er has the same thoughts as me, will you help her?"

"contract?"

"Ah."

"Your question is quite interesting, but there's nothing wrong with it. If Yoona has all kinds of tricks like you, I will definitely help her. At least I won't let her run around stupidly like you."

Lin Yi, who was asked a question just after sitting down, let out a light chuckle, and gave his answer with a smile.

But after hearing this answer, Jessica was a little upset, "What is a show operation, I do have a little bit of information, but I won't let you say that."

"Wait a minute, I don't mean what you said, but your personal behavior and attitude."

Jessica was stunned, "What's wrong with my behavior and attitude?"

"Well, selfish."

Lin Yi's unabashed honesty made Jessica stunned on the stool.

After a while, he straightened up and looked at Lin Yi opposite him with a serious expression, "When you say selfish, do you blame me for not caring about the feelings of Yoona and other members? But you have to know, it's not..."

"Wait a minute."

Before Jessica could explain, Lin Yi interrupted her speech again, and shook her head very seriously.

"The selfishness I'm talking about has nothing to do with Yoona or Girls' Generation. After all, they are all outsiders to you. When it comes to anyone dealing with outsiders, there is never anything selfish or not, because interests are the most important thing. The right choice. We are all adults, and I am not so naive."

Now Jessica understands, if according to what Lin Yi said, Lin Yuner and the others are all outsiders.

Then there was no suspense, the person he was talking about must be Krystal.

"You mean... Krystal?"

But this made Jessica even more confused, "What does my behavior have to do with Krystal?"

"You don't think you two sisters are in the same company, and you can still be separated in terms of popularity and fans."

"You don't think that if something happens to you next year, Krystal can stay in the company quietly."

"You don't think that unscrupulous guys like Li Xiuman or Jin Yingmin don't know what it means to sit together."

Three sentences, one sentence after another, like a scalpel, dissected some topics that Jessica instinctively wanted to avoid, and clearly placed them in front of her.

"Fx is still on the rise, and the company will not give up."

Faced with these few words, Jessica's answer was obviously a little lacking in confidence, so she was silenced again by Lin Yi's next speech.

"Then may I ask why your company has already started promoting new girl groups? Don't tell me you haven't seen those little girls. Yuner told me that she has already visited you."

Having said this, Lin Yi slowly took his hands from under the table, placed it on the table, and gently bounced his drink.

"As an old employee, you should know better than me what the problem is. There are only so many resources, and newcomers will naturally run out and share the weight of others. Your company is not a fool. It is impossible not to know Boer Disadvantages of incompetence."

In silence, Jessica actually didn't think much about it before, because she had already considered this issue and even had a few chats with Krystal.

In this regard, Krystal's view is simple: Ernie, just do whatever you want without thinking about me. If the company really does that, it will only mean that I am not capable enough.

Krystal, who seems cold and indifferent, is actually as proud as Jessica at all.

So the only question Jessica was thinking about at this time was why Lin Yi said this.

Is it pure guesswork?
still is……

Jessica, who was extremely confused, simply stopped thinking about it by herself, and she immediately asked this puzzled question after feeling a little bit of Lin Yi's character.

When he heard Jessica ask himself, Lin Yi was relieved in his heart, "It's not all based on guesses or predictions. What's the difference between that and talking big words? It's mainly because I heard a little bit about people who may be inclined to this aspect." information."

"What is it?"

Jessica was led away by Lin Yi again.

"Recently, a script for a TV series is under preparation. It is said that this project is quite ambitious. In addition to being on the line with many high-end fashion brands, it has also sent many people to various parts of the world to shoot scenes. Although success has nothing to do with these, there is definitely a certain degree of bonus points.”

The process of a TV drama is actually similar to that of a movie, from finalizing the entire script, to the establishment of the project, and then fund preparation, team formation, and so on.

Some take one to two years, others may take one to two months.

As for the sick society of Peninsula, the rapid entertainment, if the former is definitely dead, so usually you only need to read the scripts of the first few episodes, and immediately invest in the project as soon as it catches your eye.

The team is even simpler. The TV station took the initiative to win this project, and most of the employees are employees of the TV station.

The rest of the masters, that is, directors, filmmakers, etc., will find them alone to cooperate with them.

If it is just a script written by an ordinary screenwriter, or even if it is started directly by an internally trained director, there is no need to cooperate with external personnel.

"And the news I heard is that your company has a tendency to cooperate with this script, but you are just temporarily hesitant to pass the script to the artists below. You should be familiar with the practice of selling spots to make a fortune."

After hearing this, Jessica took a deep look at Lin Yi and asked, "Is this the heroine of the TV series that Yoona will play a few days ago?"

Lin Yi smiled slightly and acquiesced.

"At that time, there was a saying in the company that the heroine came here after Yuner."

Thinking of Jessica here, her eyelashes fluttered, and she stared brightly at the pair of deep amber eyes opposite, "Is that you?"

Lin Yi remained silent, but continued to smile.

Now Jessica understood, and her trust in what he just said has deepened a lot, "So when you just said that the company was hesitant, did you mean a certain role assigned to Krystal?"

"Specify?"

Lin Yi, who was just about to deny it, changed his mind, pursed his lips and blurred his words, "What do you think?"

Seeing that Lin Yi still didn't answer her directly, Jessica thought he had something to hide, and then stopped asking about this topic.

Instead, he changed direction, thought alone, and muttered, "It shouldn't be, there is still a year left, and the company can't possibly waste this time."

After listening to Jessica muttering to herself for a few minutes, Lin Yi stabbed her heart fiercely.

"Oh, then do you still remember Jin Jaejoong and the others? Do you think that you and Krystal's ability to attract money is stronger than theirs?"

After being severely criticized, Jessica immediately gave Lin Yi an angry look.

In response, Lin Yi immediately turned on his language talent that won him the gold medal in the 'Green Tea Masters Competition'.

"But in fact, if you think about it carefully, it doesn't seem to be a problem. You all earn about the same amount of money. Even if you retire now, it's not a big deal to occasionally receive a business order with your current popularity, or wait a few years before reappearing on stage. Just be Take a break for a few years, anyway, there is no shortage of money, and you can also support your body."

"And Krystal is still young, she is only 19 years old now. Although she has just come of age, she has made her debut for a long time. Take this opportunity to reintegrate and start again. She should not waste her golden age."

"Leaving the stage at the age of 20 and returning in the 20s. ACE is back. This headline seems to be quite good."

Jessica, who was staring at him, couldn't bear it anymore when she heard this, and kicked her foot under the table directly, "Shut up, ok~"

Lin Yi who had been kicked in the calf shrugged, grinned, and fell silent.

On the opposite side, Jessica, who didn't think so much at first, was stimulated by Lin Yi's speech to Green Tea.

Especially the phrase 'the golden age of the stage'.

It hit the softest corner of Jessica's heart straight.

Because Jessica knows very well that her golden period has actually come to an end, but Krystal's career golden period has just begun.

As for Lin Yi's words about not wasting the golden period in a few years, Jessica really wanted to roll her eyes.

Maybe his entertainment circle is like this, but the peninsula is not.

In the Peninsula entertainment industry, where idols are replaced faster than toilet paper, a few years is enough for an idol to completely lose its social profile.

So she didn't care about this issue before because she thought it wouldn't go to this point. After all, Jessica really had no intention of falling out with the company or quitting the group.

She just wanted to find a way out of this predicament.

Although the road is a bit wild, it is also a bit complicated.

But following Lin Yi's words, Jessica panicked somewhat.

She can be selfish to others because it doesn't matter, she doesn't care.

But that doesn't mean she can continue to be so selfish in her attitude towards Krystal, or in her sister's future.

In particular, she watched how Krystal persisted in a super practice intensity all the way, for the purpose of standing on the stage at this time.

If she loses that stage, will Krystal really feel that it doesn't matter?

Can you really turn a blind eye to yourself?

It’s not that I didn’t know about this possibility before, but I thought it was too small or even impossible, so I didn’t worry too much about it.

It wasn't until Lin Yi put the 'facts' in front of her that Jessica had a little sense of reality and fell silent again.

And today is also the most silent time for Jessica in the recent days.

After a long time, he raised his eyes, looked at Lin Yi's face that was getting closer and closer to the standard proportion of three courtyards and five eyes, raised his eyebrows slightly, and said.

"Lin Yi, what on earth do you do? Don't tell me you are a photographer. I have never seen any photographer who can kick a big company's male star into the military camp, let alone I’ve seen photographers who can appoint female protagonists.”

"But I'm really just a photographer."

A reborn photographer with a little bit of cheating.

"It's true, it's exactly the same as Yoona's answer."

Probably because she was mentally prepared for not getting an answer, so Jessica pulled out Lin Yuner's answer as a comparison immediately after listening to it, and Lin Yi couldn't help laughing.

Then Jessica picked up her phone and excused herself from her seat, and sat down on the empty seat in the corner next to the toilet.

Then he opened the address book and looked at a certain number in it, pondered for a moment, and finally dialed it.

Two seconds later, the person on the other end of the phone answered, "Hello, O'Neill."

"Well, Xiujing, what are you doing?" Jessica softly told the person of the call.

Seoul, in a certain reception room of the SM office building.

Krystal, who was sitting on the sofa and looking at some scripts on the coffee table in front of him, muttered, "I'm reading some scripts. Isn't the comeback over recently, and some music festivals have gradually decreased, so I started picking scripts."

Unexpectedly, Jessica showed a slightly surprised expression, and then asked the reason for the call.

"Ah, that's it. The company hasn't decided to give you a script. How can you still choose?"

"Oppa said this morning that they originally wanted to give me a role, but something went wrong later and they needed to go for an interview again. I'm reading the script now. I really like it. It's a chaebol type, hahaha. I feel like it suits me quite well. But there are others, and I’m looking at them all.”

As Krystal's answer came down, Jessica also marked Lin Yi's somewhat vague information just now.

However, she didn't know the inside story, but she imagined a series of internal struggles in the company.

For example, Krystal was originally chosen for the role (it was actually Yoona, but the company wanted to consider Krystal), but due to her own reasons (Lin Yi), Krystal lost the opportunity (Yoona was confirmed).

As for the interview Krystal just said, she didn't believe it at all. It was just a face-saving process to let everyone know.

It can be said that the smart Jessica was fooled by her own brain supply again, and her cleverness was mistaken for her cleverness. Today, this sentence is once again like a label, nailed to her head.

However, this also has part of Lin Yi's coquettish manipulation, such as the default role in the front, such as the ambiguity in the back, such as the lack of information that he knew in advance that Krystal would participate in this TV series.

Then lead Jessica astray step by step, and after Krystal's just right answer, complete this super closed loop.

But this is not Lin Yi's purpose. His purpose has always been clear.

From the moment he talked about Krystal, he was rushing to open up Jessica's empathy.

If it were someone else, Lin Yi would probably have turned around and ran away, because there was no possibility.

But pulling Krystal to open up Jessica's empathy is kind of interesting.

Moreover, Lin Yi had already laid the groundwork for this situation with Jessica since the last time they had dinner.

Why did Lin Yoona consider choosing a studio to renew her contract?

The reason is very simple, for the combination, for the stability of popularity, and for the future development so that there will be no situation of going against the company and being stumbling.

Why do you recommend Jessica to do the same, and I hope you can have such an idea.

At this point, Lin Yi stopped the follow-up advance.

Because the first time just needs a foreshadowing to guide Jessica’s thinking direction.

In the following days, they occasionally exchanged text messages or solved doubts, and the two of them also talked a lot about this topic.

When it came to that late-night exchange, Lin Yi also didn't mention Krystal.

Instead, in order to deepen the foreshadowing ahead, I chose to continue to advance Jessica's estimation of the consequences, let her think more about the consequences, and hoped that she would think of Krystal.

But what Lin Yi didn't expect was that this sister was really brave and actually came to Neon to contact Johnny.

That's why Lin Yi cursed in his heart when he knew about this situation in the morning.

But after he figured out Jessica's thoughts in the morning, he felt that he could make the next step, which is why he mentioned Krystal just now.

Without him, it is to borrow the situation of Jessica, the biological sister, to kidnap the iceberg princess emotionally and morally.

Krystal sister control, is Jessica no longer sister control?

Elsa has a sister Anna.

So this is the kidnapping plan that Lin Yi told Lin Yun'er before.

Although the right time, place and people are needed, such as this time.

But once it is completed, it will have a huge impact on Jessica.

Like now.

Jessica listened to Krystal talking on the other end of the phone about the specific situation of the script in her hand, and she could clearly hear the fondness in her tone.

So, to compromise or not to compromise?
It's up to you.
