Love Story: Starting from Marriage

Kwon Yool was surprised when he heard the other party reveal his identity.

"Kwon Yool-xi, I am Lee Soo-man."

Just such a simple sentence.

Kwon Yool didn't ask how Lee Soo Man knew his phone number.

As one of the three major entertainment agencies in H country, and the founder of the star-making factory that has produced many popular idol groups such as HOT, SES, Shinhwa, TVXQ, SJ, Girls' Generation, Shinee, FX, EXO, etc., Lee Soo Man does anything. It's all for a purpose.

Kwon Yul originally thought that Lee Soo Man's call was to ask him about his thoughts on joining SM Entertainment's acting department.

After all, last time Kwon Yul accompanied Taeyeon's grandma to the company, Lee Soo Man came to the practice room in person, and it was at that time that he discussed this topic with Kwon Yul.

however

This is not what Li Xiuman said this time.

He asked Quan Yul whether Quan Yul's focus would shift back to China next year, just like KEYEAST Entertainment's announcement.

Kwon Ryul bluntly said that if nothing unexpected happens next year, he will work in China.

Lee Soo Man said: "So you and Taeyeon are going to live in two different places?"

After saying this, Kwon Yool thought that Lee Soo Man was an elder in the family who was worried about his relationship with Taeyeon.

Like Taeyeon, Kwon Yul also calls Lee Soo Man "teacher nim"

On the phone, Quan Lu said: "Teacher Nim, if you have anything to say, you can tell me directly."

Li Xiuman made an appointment with Quan Yul to have lunch together.

In the past, Quan Lyu would most likely have declined.

He and Lee Soo Man are not close enough to have dinner together alone.

But Jessica's face suddenly appeared in Quan Lu's mind.

Li Xiuman must have something to discuss with him. If there is something Li Xiuman wants to ask Kwon Yul to help with, then can Kwon Yul use this opportunity to help Jessica coordinate with the company.

"I'll treat Teacher Nim to eat."

Li Xiuman was not polite. Kwon Yul told them where to eat and said they would meet at 12:30.

Kwon Yul didn't tell Taeyeon immediately about having dinner with Lee Soo Man at noon.

12 points.

Apgujeong, a Chinese restaurant.

Lee Soo Man, wearing a suit and leather shoes with a black coat, appeared in the box.

Kwon Yul arrived early. After the meeting, Lee Soo Man smiled, shook hands, patted Kwon Yul's shoulder and said, "I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to eat the meal invited by the actor."

Kwon Yool responded politely: "It's an honor for me to invite Teacher Nim to dinner."

After the official talk was over, the two of them took their seats.

After the food and wine were served, Li Xiuman looked at the liquor and did not say that he would not drink it. Instead, he asked Quan Lu: "Is it just in China next year or will the focus of work in the future be on China?"

Kwon Yul responded: “Right now I’m just focusing on my work arrangements for next year.”

Lee Soo Man smiled and said, "I am already the best actor. Now is actually the best time to return to China. I think Representative Bae Yong Joon arranged this very appropriately."

Kwon Yul kept smiling.

There is nothing wrong with this from the perspective of a company operator.

But this is not what Lee Soo Man wants to say.

Pour the white wine, raise the glass and toast to Li Xiuman. After taking a few bites of the food, Li Xiuman sighed: "This restaurant is one of the best Chinese restaurants in Seoul, but the taste is never as good as the ones I have eaten in Huaxia. Maybe it's because of the ingredients." "

Quan Lu echoed: "It should be that the fresh pot rabbit I ate in my hometown tastes different when I go to Tianfu. They are all made in the same province."

Li Xiuman began to ask: "Which directors and actors are you working with when you return to China this time?"

Quan Lu avoided the important and took the easy. For the first time, he brought out the network resources that others would envy and said, "I cooperated with Uncle Long. I'm lucky that Uncle Long has always taken good care of me."

International superstars are definitely different.

Lee Soo Man kept nodding: "It's not easy for an artist to have a very good relationship with an international superstar. I see many fans on the Internet are shouting that if you go back to China, you will be better than in country H. I think this is true. ." Quan Lu felt that something was wrong.

Li Xiuman was talking in a roundabout way. Did he want to say something first?

Kwon Ryul said: "EXO is also very popular in China, and my sister is also a fan of EXO."

"The friends of EXO who are active in China are really working hard. I have long ago judged that the Chinese market is the market that our idol industry should enter most. It is not only the cultivation of idols in H country but also in China. For debut activities, the best thing is to cultivate local idols to carry out activities in China.”

coming.

This should be what Lee Soo Man wanted to say.

"As for me, I plan to set up a new company in China to specialize in cultivating local idols and actors in China."

"Of course, it would be best for artists who have already debuted in the company to help, but I want to set up my own new company."

"Kwon Lyu, you are the top celebrity artist in China. It would be best if you could help me."

personal company.

So it is not SM's branch in China, but Lee Soo Man's own independent business.

I have to say that Lee Soo Man is really discerning, understands the market, and is a born businessman who can make money.

Kwon Yul said slowly: "If there is a showcase that needs a host, of course I will be willing to help, just like EXO did when they debuted."

Li Xiuman raised his glass and clinked it with Quan Yul.

After taking a sip of wine, he said to Quan Lu: "If I don't just host Showcase, I would like to organize an idol talent show in China through a new company, Fruit TV."

"You should know that Fruit TV is the most experienced in China in this regard, I mean successful experience."

Of course Kwon Yool knows.

In those years, the Happy Boys and Super Girls were popular all over China, and those who stood out from them now have their own good development.

There is a female singer in Kwon Yul's hometown who became famous through a talent show, and her personal ability is also very good. Kwon Yul has not met her yet.

Lee Soo Man talks about his plan.

The purpose of the talent show is to create an idol group voted for by Chinese fans. The plan is to have 7 people. During the talent show, choreographers, makeup artists, and vocal teachers from Country H will be arranged to train the contestants.

Immediately after the last stage, they held a performance as a debut showcase for the idol group.

Lee Soo Man hopes that Quan Yul can serve as the person in charge of the talent show and use his popularity and appeal in China to boost the attention of the show.

Of course, if Kwon Yul is in charge, then Taeyeon will also be included as a teacher in the talent show.

Hearing this, Quan Yul interjected: "Actually, if Teacher Nim really wants to do this talent show and create an idol, I can help. My role will end at the end of May next year. If the schedule is finalized earlier, the company will not say anything."

"There is just one situation. The teacher has to arrange the talent show. Taeyeon is too lonely by herself. I think it would be best if Jessica can be together."

"After all, they are the lead singers of Girls' Generation. Their singing professionalism, stage performance and other aspects can bring different things to the contestants and impart different experiences."

"Even talent shows can have idols leading the contestants in opening performances for each episode, such as SJ, Girls' Generation, Shinee, Fx, EXO and other idol groups."

Li Xiuman pushed up the frames of his glasses.

Kwon Yulti’s opinion really made Li Soo Man’s eyes light up.

It’s not just your new company that will make money later.

Artists affiliated with S.M Company will also benefit if they gain more recognition in China. This is a suggestion that kills two birds with one stone.

But there was a problem, and Li Xiuman naturally didn't tell Quan Yul about it. It was Jessica's problem that the company's top management had been discussing recently.

Stay or not.

The company's senior management does not need to refer to Jessica's wishes and ideas. They just make judgments from the perspective of businessmen.

Now Kwon Yul wants Jessica to participate in the talent show. If Jessica is not allowed to participate...

Li Xiuman is thinking about this problem.

Kwon Yul has already said it: "I am really willing to help Teacher Nim, but if it is just me and Taeyeon, I think it will be difficult. After all, I can't take care of Taeyeon when I am busy. I think I will change my decision." "If Jessica is here, I won't have any worries." (End of chapter)
