Chapter 203

11月,东方神起宣布追加1月27日名古屋、2月19日新泻、2月24日札幌、3月4日广岛、3月10日福井、3月20日崎玉共计六场演唱会。但门票依然被一抢而空,甚至因为大家觉得不会再有加场,更加剧了网上对东方神起门票的争夺。

Jung Yunho booked the dome for two days with the money from the first wave of tickets, and then he and Shen Changmin personally selected the band and backup dancers, and invited Sam Sang, who is very familiar with TVXQ's style, to be the general director of the stage, and prepared to use the latest holographic projection The technology will be used in next year's concert.

As soon as the money came into their hands, it didn't stay for long before it was spent like water.Ai Hui's collaborators couldn't understand how much they invested in the concert.In the past, when Aihui was rich and powerful and expanded globally, he was willing to spend money, but it has not reached the current level. From the live band to the sound equipment to the lighting and choreography, everything must be the best and the most cutting-edge.After returning to the company, I complained to my colleagues in private, saying that TVXQ wants to use the top treatment for everything before they reach that position, saying that they are too ambitious and don’t know how to calculate the cost.

But these rumors have no effect on the two TVXQ members.Advance the preparations for the concert step by step according to the scheduled plan.December is fast approaching, and many end-of-year events ensue.The two ran back and forth between Japan and South Korea.

Perhaps the upcoming Japanese tour made everyone realize that although TVXQ has been silent for two years, and this year's album sales are not the highest, but its dominant position in terms of sales has not yet been shaken.Jung Yunho and Shim Changmin clearly felt that when walking in the SM company, everyone's attitude towards them was completely different from a year ago.

When they first returned at the beginning of the year, whether inside or outside the company, many people were skeptical of them, and there were also many people who secretly provoked them.And with the announcement of the Japanese patrol news, all these undercurrents and turbulence disappeared temporarily, as if what they felt before was an illusion.

This made Jung Yunho and Shim Changmin more determined to hold TVXQ's concert to the extreme.For an old group that has debuted for eight years, it is impossible to compare the freshness with the newcomers, but the newcomers will always become the old ones. As time goes by, the senior idols will have a stage performance that the newcomers cannot match.And what they want to present to everyone is a super performance that makes it impossible for all singers to catch up.

"Yunho and Changmin are back?" Li Xiuman greeted the two people waiting in the office kindly.

Jung Yunho and Shim Changmin immediately stood up and said hello.

After some simple greetings, Li Xiuman took the initiative to mention their daily tour: "I have heard that you and Ai Hui have some differences in the preparation of the concert. Ai Hui has been in a hurry to do things because of the budget deficit in recent years. I have seen some Ai Hui couldn’t see your vision in your proposal, but the teacher knew what you were going to do. Yunhao, you have always been the child in the company who can understand the teacher’s ideas best. If you encounter difficulties, the teacher will definitely help Yours."

Zheng Yunhao's gaze met Li Xiuman's.

As soon as they arrived at the company, they were notified to meet Li Xiuman.At that time, Zheng Yunhao already knew roughly what Li Xiuman wanted from them.From the moment the company decided to fully support TVXQ's comeback until now, SM has spent an unprecedented honeymoon period with them.At that time, the dignity of TVXQ was the dignity of SM.At that time, everyone held their breath, and must use a beautiful comeback to beat all the people who looked down on SM and TVXQ.Their goals are exactly the same as SM's.

But now, TVXQ has really successfully returned, and the battle for the interests of this brand will officially kick off.

Zheng Yunhao smiled, pretending that he didn't understand what SM wanted to inject capital into, and casually bypassed the topic: "From the very beginning, I didn't count on Ai Hui's help. Don't worry, teacher, we will give this day tour the highest award no matter what." The configuration will definitely not disappoint the name of TVXQ."

Li Xiuman laughed twice, and said meaningfully: "It's good for young people to have enthusiasm and drive. But many things can't be done by one's own strength. JYJ and the three of them, when they left, they were not ambitious. What? But as idols, without the company’s support and packaging, what will happen to them in the future, I think you should be able to see clearly than anyone else.”

"Well, yes teacher." Zheng Yunhao nodded calmly and said yes, "So Changmin and I just want to manage the brand of 'TVXQ' wholeheartedly. I remember confessing to the teacher once, no one will know TVXQ better than me, Instead of handing him over to someone else, you'd better leave him to me."

Shen Changmin, who was just listening in silently, froze for a moment, and quickly glanced at the two of them.He never knew there was such a past.

Li Xiuman's eyes became sharp.He naturally recalled this sentence, and also remembered the scene at that time.At that time, there was a struggle among the top management of SM, and he had to leave Korea for the United States temporarily.Zheng Yunhao took the initiative to find him and expressed his surrender to him in order to obtain his support for Zheng Yunhao.

At that time, SM's status in the Korean music industry and its control over its artists were undoubtedly strong.And he himself was in his prime, confident and haughty.For the ambition and cleverness exuded by an idol, he only had the appreciation of a superior looking down at him: he could see all his thoughts, but he was not at all worried that he would turn out his palm.

If he knew there would be today, he would never let Zheng Yunhao go.

"Teacher wants to get an answer from me. In fact, I know very well in my heart. But," Zheng Yunhao looked into Li Xiuman's eyes, and showed up with him calmly, "Don't tell me the teacher is not clear. Concert investment, I will definitely not accept SM to participate in the daily tour. If I agreed to the teacher here today, I will definitely have a rift with Ai Hui. After the three-party stalemate, the best result is nothing more than Changmin and I invest more like now , the bad result is that no one is allowed to chase after the investment. Therefore, the teacher should know what I should do to be good for TVXQ."

"Then you should also know why the company is furious. Ask yourself, without the full support of the company, would you two have made such a smooth comeback?" Li Xiuman's tone was calm and even amiable even when he spoke harshly. , "Crossing rivers and destroying bridges, ungrateful, is this kind of evaluation nice? Both of you are my proudest works, and the strongest idols in the company. I don't want your relationship with the company to be deadlocked."

"Teacher, I'm worrying too much." Zheng Yunhao smiled slightly, "I don't think the company will forget that we have re-signed the contract with the company before our comeback. We voluntarily lowered the share ratio in Korea in exchange for the company's full support. The company's Of course we will never forget the kindness, but it is something we can fight for, and we have a clear conscience in fighting for it. In fact, given the company's current situation, TVXQ's turnover is the company's biggest trump card in competition with the outside world."

Li Xiuman naturally understands what Jung Yunho said about "the company's current situation".Now various small and medium-sized companies have sprung up one after another, launching groups with their own characteristics, and YG and JYP are closely following behind.SHINee and F(x) launched after superjunior and Girls' Generation did not perform as expected, and there is no hope of reaching the top for the time being.Nowadays, the group promoted by SM can no longer guarantee an absolute advantage, and the era of a hundred flowers blooming has arrived.An old group that has debuted for eight years and can steadily contribute more than [-]% of the company's turnover with a small investment, is SM's anchor to shareholders, the entire market and the public.Even if there are some small twists and turns in SM's operation, it will not shake SM's stock price.

"I think the company and we have a consensus that the TVXQ brand must maximize its value. Japan is the top priority. So today, I still want to tell the teacher that you should let Ai Hui choke this lifeline , why don’t you give TVXQ to me. At least, you will always be Changmin and I’s most respected teacher. And we will also be the best executors and successors of your idea of ​​boy group development. You won’t worry anymore If the partner company says they will turn their backs, they will turn their backs, won't they suddenly disrupt your overall plan?" Zheng Yunhao circled around and returned to the proposition he just raised.

Li Xiuman stared into Zheng Yunho's eyes for a while, then suddenly turned to Shen Changmin, "Changmin, what about you? What do you think?"

"Me?" Shen Changmin didn't expect that he would be asked suddenly, but he didn't hesitate for a second, and answered without hesitation and as a matter of course, "I listen to Brother Yunhao."

Li Xiuman looked back and forth between the two of them for a few seconds, and suddenly laughed: "Although the departure of those three has brought a heavy blow to the company and TVXQ. But for the two of you, it may be the opposite. How about a great thing?"

Zheng Yunhao and Shen Changmin looked at each other, smiled and agreed.

"Okay, it's getting late, you guys go to prepare for the special stage of S.Mtown at the end of the year. So everyone has rehearsed, and I'm waiting for you two." Li Xiuman waved his hand and stopped talking about this with the two of them. topic.In fact, he had more or less foreseen this situation.Zheng Yunhao, who was able to bear the humiliation and bear such a big stigma and risk to stay, must have a bigger goal to achieve.Now that Tiger has returned to the mountain, neither the company nor himself can control it anymore.

Jung Yunho stood up first, followed by Shen Changmin.Both of them coincidentally bowed respectfully to Li Xiuman: "Thanks to the teacher and the company for their many years of cultivation, TVXQ will continue to work hard in the future and live up to expectations."

Li Xiuman just smiled and didn't answer.

----

At the beginning of December, Kim Eun-hwa finished filming "The Reasoning Is After Dinner" and flew back to South Korea to join the crew of "The Moon Embracing the Sun".Because she will be going to be a judge in Berlin, Germany in mid-February next year, so although "The Moon Embracing the Sun" has been scheduled for January 12 next year, in order to match her schedule, the crew started the film two months earlier.In the previous month, Jin Eunhe was not in Korea, so the crew focused on filming the first five episodes of Boyhood.Now with the heroine in place, adult actors have joined the group one after another.

The nerves of the crew immediately tensed up.Without him, the legendary drama bully Jin Eunhe is back!

Kim Eun Hwa has not acted in a Korean drama for nearly six years.But the legend of how domineering and powerful she is has always been circulating in the TV drama circle, and the rumors of changing the script at a disagreement and making the screenwriter cry because of the absence of the parties have become more and more intense.

When Pei Xiuzhi first joined the group, she heard some private discussions. Although as a rookie who just debuted not long ago, she shouldn't offend people in the TV circle, she still couldn't help clarifying to them that her senior was not such a person.Others smoothed things over in front of her and said they didn't mean it that way, and turned around and complained to their colleagues.So no one talked about it in front of Pei Xiuzhi, Jin En and his direct junior sister, and there was a faint intention to alienate her.

Pei Xiuzhi felt it, but didn't know what to do, so she could only endure it silently.

Jin Enhe felt this strange atmosphere as soon as he entered the group.She beckoned to Pei Xiuzhi, and Pei Xiuzhi immediately ran over with bright eyes, suppressing her excitement and saying hello: "Senior! Welcome to the group!"

"I heard from the teacher that you acted in this drama." Jin Enhe silently counted in his heart, very surprised, "Female No. [-]?! Haven't you already starred in "Dream High"? Ratings and word of mouth They are all pretty good, what are you doing playing the female number four in this show?"

Pei Xiuzhi was a little embarrassed: "Actually, it is said that thanks to my seniors, I could have chosen to play the second or third female role. But I don't really like the roles of princess and princess. I think Xue is a good little slave girl. There are a lot of fighting scenes, the most important thing is to always follow seniors in the play! Protect seniors!"

Jin Eunhe couldn't laugh or cry: "Is it a good thing to be by my side all the time? It's not that I look down on you, and it's not that I think too highly of myself. As a newcomer, you are young, and acting in the same frame as me will easily make the audience ignore your existence." .Didn’t I tell you last time, don’t be someone else, be yourself.”

Pei Xiuzhi pursed her lips and smiled for a while, coquettishly said: "I want to cling to senior~ I can act at any time, but the opportunity to get in touch with senior is very precious. If I'm not senior's younger sister, how can I have the right to get close to senior like this, I don't know How many people envy me~"

Jin Enhe was a little dazed.Most of the artists she has been with over the years are at the same level as her, and at the very least, they have been famous for a long time.She almost forgot that for a newcomer who just debuted, she is already a big shot like a mountain.When she was young, if she encountered such an opportunity, she would probably not hesitate to give up a more important role and choose to befriend a powerful senior.What's more, she has read the script and knows that the second female princess and the third female princess are negative characters, and the setting is not pleasing.On the contrary, this little slave girl has a first-line chance of rescue.Pei Xiuzhi made such a decision, which is quite rare and smart at her age.

She smiled, and suddenly asked Pei Xiuzhi: "Because of me, the crew didn't treat you very well, did they?"

Pei Xiuzhi was very surprised. I don't know why Jin Enhe saw it when he first joined the crew.She replied that it was not good, and it seemed that lying was not good either. When she was hesitating, she heard Jin Eunhe continue to speak.

"I don't know what my own reputation is in this circle?" Jin Enhe laughed, "Let's go, I'll show you how I am a bully."

After finishing speaking, she turned to director Kim Do-hoon and screenwriter Chen Xiuwan: "Director Kim and writer Chen, I'm sorry that I only joined the team today. The delay will cause trouble for the two of you."

Kim Do-hoon and Chen Xiuwan politely returned the gift.They received more accurate information than the lower-level staff, so they naturally wouldn't follow everyone else's opinion of how bad Jin Eunhe was.Otherwise, according to the status of the director and screenwriter in South Korea, there is absolutely no need to accept a domineering big name over him.Actresses of the 20th generation are in short supply in South Korea nowadays. There is no other candidate like Jin Eunhe who has good acting skills and suitable age temperament.Even if this person is a little troublesome and the schedule is a little difficult, as long as she is dedicated, everything is negotiable.

After exchanging pleasantries, Jin Enhe went straight to the point and put forward his own request: "There are still two days left to film the adult scene, can I see the completed juvenile part. Two actors are playing different age groups of the same role. Poor connection can easily make the audience feel that there are two people. I want to observe the performance of the young actors and try to maintain the coherence of the characters."

As soon as these words came out, Jin Daoxun and Chen Xiuwan were extremely surprised.As directors and screenwriters, they naturally hope that different actors playing the same role can interpret the role as uniformly as possible.But in the actual implementation of this point, few directors and screenwriters really talk to the actors.Because the age and qualifications of the actors who started filming first must be later than those who will play later, it is impossible for the director and screenwriter to ask the seniors to imitate the performances of the younger generations.So such an idea can only be thought in one's own mind, it is absolutely impossible to say it, and few actors do this.

They never expected that Jin Eunhe, who is known as a bully, would take the initiative to say that he would condescend to the younger generation's performance.This simply moved them and was a little surprised.

So when Jin Eunhe went on to say that he wanted to communicate with the director and screenwriter about the character setting, they felt relieved: they knew it would not be that simple!

Screenwriter Chen Xiuwan readily agreed: "If Jin En and Xi have any ideas, you can chat and communicate first."

Jin Eunhe pointed to Pei Xiuzhi who was behind him and said: "Two problems, one is the problem of the character Xue played by this child. I have read the original book, and I remember that Xue was rescued by the heroine Xu Yanyu's brother Xu Yan. I fell in love with Xu Yan and was determined to protect his sister Xu Yanyu for Xu Yan. I was thinking that Xue was clearly positioned as Xu Yanyu's loyal servant in the story, and it was used to portray the deep master-servant relationship between the heroine and the loyal servant, and then Using such a loyal subordinate to set off the heroine is worth following. But now Xue protects Xu Yanyu for the sake of love from the beginning to the end, and the connection with Xu Yanyu is not strong enough."

Chen Xiuwan's eyes moved slightly, but he didn't interrupt her.

Jin Eunhe took out the script she had kept in her bag all the time, turned to the place she had marked and handed it to Chen Xiuwan: "Please look at the red part, these are the relationships between other characters in the script and Xu Yanyu. annotation."

Chen Xiuwan and Kim Do-hoon got together and read Jin Eunhe's script.It was densely filled with her comments, and it was obvious that her thoughts on the script were definitely more than the two questions she said.

She looked at Chen Xiuwan and Kim Do-hoon and continued: "And I have carefully studied the scripts of several episodes in my hand. All the people who protect Xu Yanyu will help her because of another person. Except for the male lead, there is no one It was because Xu Yanyu herself chose to sacrifice for her. This made me feel that Xu Yanyu is a person who is neither worthy of following nor worthy of sincere love. How can such a setting reflect that Xu Yanyu is destined to What about the woman who bears the responsibility of being the mother of a nation?"

Chen Xiuwan and Jin Daoxun looked at each other, and then asked her: "So what are Jin Eun and Xi thinking?"

"Delete the relationship between Xue and Xu Yan, and change the person who rescued Xue to Xu Yanyu." Jin Enhe took it out without hesitation, "Xu Yanyu sheltered her, and taught her to read and write, and taught her human relations and etiquette." So Xue regards Xu Yanyu as her sister and teacher, and is willing to use her life to serve her and protect her. Otherwise, Xue will be coaxed by the witch Zhang Luying in the following, and she will really hide the news that her sister is still alive from her sweetheart for eight years It seems too unreasonable. It's better to explain that Xue only cares about Xu Yanyu alone, as long as she can follow Xu Yanyu's side, she is satisfied."

Jin Daoxun glanced at Pei Xiuzhi, and asked with a smile: "Deleting other people's emotional lines always requires the consent of the person concerned. What do you think of Pei Xiuzhi?"

Pei Xiuzhi smiled: "I think senior's opinion is very good, and I also think this is more reasonable." The purpose of her staying in this crew is senior, so naturally she will not demolish senior.What's more, she faintly felt that the senior made changes like this to help her.A character with self-awareness is definitely more attractive to the audience than a character with a vague face.

Chen Xiuwan roughly read an episode of Jin Eunhe's script, raised his head, stared at her with piercing eyes and asked, "Then what is Jin Eunhe's second question?"

"The second question..." Jin Enhe pondered for a few seconds and organized his words: "I have read the scripts of the first six episodes you wrote, and the plots and characters are very exciting. To be honest, it is precisely because I read I made up my mind to come back to act in TV dramas based on your scripts for the first six episodes."

She gave Chen Xiuwan a small handful.After hearing this sentence, Chen Xiu subconsciously showed a smile on the corner of his mouth.

"Xu Yanyu in her youth had very clear and distinct characteristics. She is dignified and elegant, she is well-versed in advancing and retreating, she is knowledgeable and courteous, and she is extremely intelligent." Jin Enhe frowned slightly, with a confused expression: "But when I When I got the scripts of the latest few episodes, I felt a little confused. Xu Yanyu seemed to have suddenly become an ordinary woman after eight years, and the original attractive traits were not reflected in her. Even if she lost her memory, she should not change. She is a completely different talent. As an actor, I can show her dignity and elegance through behavior, but knowledge and wisdom, these must be reflected through the plot. I am worried that when it is actually broadcast, The audience will feel that Xu Yanyu has changed his soul."

Chen Xiuwan's face immediately changed.

Sitting next to Jin Eunhe, Pei Xiuzhi silently accompanied her to watch the rough cut of her youth.After the episode ended, Jin Eunhe stopped drinking water, and then she carefully asked her concerns: "Senior, are you not afraid of Writer Chen getting angry at all? When we left just now, he seemed to be in a bad mood."

Jin Eunhe glanced at her, and smiled slightly: "So why do people say I'm a bully, do you understand now? Do you still want to cling to me? Are you afraid of being angered by Writer Chen?"

"No! I want to cling to senior." Pei Xiuzhi insisted in a low voice.She knew that her status was far from her senior's, and things that seniors could do without scruples might have an important impact on her.But she also has a steelyard in her heart, knowing who is closer to her, senior or Writer Chen.One cannot be greedy enough to want everything.Since she has chosen to get close to her senior, she will not give up halfway.

Jin Eunhe didn't say anything, reached out to touch her head, and played the next episode.Halfway through watching, Pei Xiuzhi suddenly heard Jin Eunhe say softly: "Actors only need to be responsible to the audience. Everything that hinders you from achieving this goal is an obstacle that you must find a way to solve. Do you understand?"

The author has something to say: 11 years is coming to an end soon!

This year, the king of the East God came back, and Enhe climbed to the front line in Japan, and he wanted to go back to Korea to give a good shock.

SM and Ai Hui can no longer control Dongshin. Being an idol in Japan and South Korea can completely free them from the constraints of the company. I really want to thank the storm of quitting the team back then.If JYJ hadn't tossed both companies into disgrace at that time, Jung Yunho would not have been able to seize such a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
