Chapter 167: Li Xianzhe's Hongmen Banquet
"This is the ,,, Hongmen Banquet?"
Obviously, the specifications prepared by Li Xianzhe naturally couldn't match the scale of entertaining guests, and the three of them were just thinking, but they couldn't take their eyes off the barbecue.
s.. M's food is definitely the worst among the three major clubs, even if it is an artist after his debut, the food cost of each meal is strictly controlled by the company.
Due to the busy schedule, most artists rarely have time to eat dinner on weekdays, and if they are recording a show, they can only fill it with simple food, such as rice balls.
Hanbout, pork belly, is attractive to locals, and it is the same for foreign members.
"You don't mind if I call you by your real name, do you?"
Looking at the three people who took off their hats and were a little restrained, they took off their makeup, and in the eyes of Li Xianzhe, that face couldn't be more ordinary, and the unique temperament of the star on their bodies was reined in.
"Huh?"
The three of them were taken aback, on the one hand, they were a little overwhelmed by Li Xianzhe's active closeness, and more importantly, they didn't expect Li Xianzhe's Huaxia to speak so well.
"Why, surprised?"
Li Xianzhe smiled slightly, every time he saw such an expression, he always couldn't hide his complacency in his heart, Xu Yiyang and Ning Yizhuo were like this, and so were the three Chinese members of EXO.
"Well, Director Lee's Chinese accent is very authentic, and there really isn't a South Korean accent. ”
The three of them glanced at each other, put aside the toilet paper in their hands, and changed their attitude towards Li Xianzhe a little.
"From 2002 to 2008, I went to school in the capital of China. ”
Li Xianzhe talked about his experience in Huaxia by himself, but the most mentioned thing was the period between himself and Li Xiuman, how to contradict each other, and how not to make money from his family. A person who is in the rebellious period of his teenage years, alone in a foreign country, this experience is really similar to the three of exo.
Even Tao, who seems to have a very straight temper, quietly follows the two people around him, holding a plate and listening patiently, perhaps resonating with his heart.
It wasn't until Cho So-jing began to cut the first, second, and third pieces of barbecue into small slices, and put the shape of a small piece on the plate of the three of them, that Li Xianzhe couldn't stop his mouth.
"Although I'm not in s.. M, but from the three of you coming here, you can roughly judge that your current situation is not very objective, or rather, you should have been grounded by my father, right?"
After a short silence, Lay nodded lightly and said, "But I have to thank Director Li for all this." ”
Lee Hyun-chul raised his hand to stop Lay, who wanted to get up and say thank you, "Thank me for what are you doing? Eat meat, just treat me as a Chinese, at least over there, these rules in South Korea are really cumbersome." ”
"Oh thanks"
"To be honest, since I witnessed Han Geng's termination of the contract, when my father launched the EXO combination, I had expected this day. You grew up over there, and then you came here to start as a trainee, you should know that.
South Korea is not China, or among the three countries with RB, the entertainment industry in China is the most chaotic, with singers, hosts, and actors colluding with each other. Actors can take on several dramas at the same time, and by the way, they can release records, and the host can cross over to be singers and directors. However, in the final analysis, the domestic market is too huge, and even if thousands of newcomers debut every year, they cannot achieve the expected results.
The planning team only knows how to launch it, but does not know what the market needs. However, the idol on the south Korean side was unexpectedly sought after by the people there.
There are various factors, such as strength, the artist's morality, and good works.
In the eyes of local Chinese young people, local Chinese stars regard themselves as stars, and their appearance fees range from 100,000, million, 10 million, and hundreds of millions, even if they are a third-tier artist, running a commercial performance is equivalent to a few months' salary at the bottom of the ordinary bottom, and when they reach the second tier, they live in a good house and drive a good car, so inflated people who play big names abound.
And here, their own culture limits the public's vision, people just regard artists as a profession, and most artists pay attention to their every move and every word they say in the face of public surveillance.
As a result, at least in terms of the overall quality of artists, South Korea is stronger than China.
Perhaps seeing this factor, many companies in the mainland began to follow the system here and compete to launch idol groups, but no matter what they do, they can't compare with the effect of those Chinese members who debuted here returning to China, which is thought-provoking. Han Geng is an example and a pioneer. ”
Li Xianzhe said with a smile, whenever a Chinese person who has been a trainee or an activity here returns to China, when talking about his life here or the reason for terminating the contract, Han Geng always has a hurdle that he can't get around.
"What does Director Li mean, will Kris reach the height of Han Geng's predecessors in the future?" Tao stared at Li Xianzhe's eyes, this reaction was also expected, and among the three, he and Kris's relationship was the best (after the termination of the contract, they would not get along with each other directly).
"Remember one sentence, never take the public for a fool, the inside story of Kris's termination, as teammates, must know more than the company and I know. If you don't believe me, take out your mobile phone now and check the reaction from Huaxia, I think there will be more criticism than praise for Kris's termination. ”
As if to verify his words, Tao logged in to the search engine in Huaxia with his mobile phone under the gaze of Luhan and Lay, and logged in to other countries' websites here, the only advantage is that he doesn't have to go over the wall, and the Internet speed is very fast.
In just a short time, the news about Kris's termination paved the way for the place to dominate the entertainment headlines of major websites in China.
As Lee Hyun-chul said, even if the protagonist of the incident, there is also EXO, S.. M didn't react in any way, but the reason for Kris's termination and some comment posts comparing him with his predecessor Han Geng have been everywhere.
At critical moments, those unknown non-mainstream media and senior experts can achieve the degree of unexpectedly winning the lottery with the fake.
Among them, Han Geng's termination of the contract, which was mentioned as "related", has returned to the public's sight, of course, it cannot be ruled out that this is a wave of good heat from the work team behind Han Geng.
"Defection", such a word pierced the eyes of the three people deeply, but they could not refute that what Kris did was indeed "defection".
No matter how his personal fans whitewash their idols on the Internet, how miserable they are, and how unfair the income distribution is, as long as they understand a little about Han Geng's situation back then, they will no longer sympathize with Kris's experience and practices.
After him, Luhan only proposed to terminate the contract after the concert, and Tao was forced to go on stage by the company many times because of a foot injury.
