Just like the 'seven-year itch', at a certain fixed period of time, the development of idol groups will also usher in a lag period.

At this point, some changes have to be made. If it succeeds, the combination can gain a new positioning and new vitality, and get a second chance for development, while if it fails, it is likely to be forgotten by everyone and gradually forgotten by the people.

As a member of an idol group, you will learn a lesson from the experience of your predecessors, and when the lag period comes, almost every member of the group will become very anxious and eager to find a new way out.

This lag period usually comes around the fifth year after debut. And this time happens to be the contract period of most idols. As a result, whether to renew the contract became the first thing that made idols hesitate.

There are juniors behind him one after another, and their competitiveness may no longer be good, and many idols will more or less shift their energy to side hustles after they have such an idea. For example, this is the case with TVXQ in history, the reason why they disbanded was because several of its members put some of their energy into the side business, and they wanted to make money through the side business too much, so they would engage in illegal endorsements.

By making money through a side hustle, you can give yourself more confidence. To put it bluntly, it doesn't matter if you don't make money when you're an artist, anyway, you have a side hustle that can be subsidized in the back.

Others choose a different approach. They did not develop a side hustle behind the scenes, but worked hard to open up new routes in the circle. This is what we often call 'cross-cutting challenges'.

Singers try to be actors, funny artists try to release albums, and actors try to do variety shows. It's all part of the 'cross-cutting challenge'. Gaining a new position in a new field can not only open up new routes, but also renew the interest of the audience, so as to continue his career as an artist.

Contract renewal, competition from juniors, self-positioning, etc., in short, there will be many questions to think about. And everyone's personality is different, so everyone makes different decisions.

Not to mention that there is a veteran company like S.m behind it, the most important thing is that Li Jingyuan is by his side. Of course, girls in girlhood will not have the ability to devote their energy to side hustles. Negative thoughts like simply leaving the entertainment industry. They all want to work harder and challenge new fields, so they ask Li Jingyuan so much. Ask him to introduce a few opportunities to appear in TV series.

The idea is still relatively profound, but the way to say it is relatively relaxed. Li Jingyuan and the girls have been together for so long, how can they not tell what they really think.

When Li Jingyuan found the serious eyes of the girls after smiling expressions, he really took this matter to heart. began to think seriously for the girls.

The girls' request is actually not difficult for Li Jingyuan.

In the past two years, Li Jingyuan has not come up with any scripts. But don't forget his previous achievements. With the scripts of "Palace", "Queen Seondeok", "Splendid Inheritance", "The Rumored Seven Princesses", "The War of Money", and "You Are My Destiny", he has become a big name in the screenwriting industry.

Or take out strong economic strength to directly invest in the shooting of TV series or movies. Go to the relationship as a producer. Stuff one or two people into the crew.

Anyway, it's just a simple way to give the girls a chance. It's nothing at all on Li Jingyuan.

The difficulty lies in 'success'. It's not just a matter of finding a film for the girls to act, Li Jingyuan also has to consider whether he can make the girls 'successful', if he starred in a TV series, but only got a 'lame' evaluation, then there would be no so-called transformation. There is no need to do thankless things.

For example, Jessica's "Violent Romance" and Yuna's "Cinderella Boy" in history belong to the kind of thankless works. Knowing that it was impossible for the Dao to have a good result, Li Jingyuan would certainly not let them try again. On the contrary, Yu Li's "Fashion King" is not bad, if she receives an invitation as in history, Li Jingyuan will not stop her.

In Li Jingyuan's view, you must not do anything to eat a fat person in one bite. Even if you want to challenge your acting skills, it is not suitable to challenge those films with pathos, tangled stories, and frustrated protagonists from the beginning. It's very simple, when acting, crying is much harder than laughing, and if you don't do a good job, it's easy to fall into a 'lame' evaluation.

In other words, youth comedy is the most suitable type for girls to have a 'first challenge'. In this type of episode, the atmosphere will be more relaxed, and there will not be much too heavy content. is not only closer to the real character of the girls, but also close to their usual life, close to their true colors, which will make it easier for the girls to perform, and it will be easier for them to be praised by the audience.

Some people may say, if you want to say that, what about Yuna's previous appearance in "You Are My Destiny"? In that episode, isn't Sebi played by Yuna so bitter that she can't do it, which is obviously different from Li Jingyuan's idea.

One time to another. At that time, there were three reasons why Yuna was asked to act. First, because Lee Kyung-won knows the history of the Tao and knows very well how Yuna behaves in this series, after he has no worries, of course he will not stop him; The second is that Girls' Generation has just debuted, and she must gather popularity in a short period of time, and Yuna's act of participating in TV series is to serve this, which is a task that must be done; Third, it is because the difficulty of the daily drama itself is not high, unlike the moonfire drama, which requires acting skills very much, and Yun'er's acting skills at that time were enough.

A special case is made a special case because it doesn't come up very often. Yuna's participation in "You Are My Destiny" is a special case and is not suitable for reference. In the present case. Li Jingyuan still feels that his consideration is more secure, and it is best to let the girls challenge the youth comedy that is not so picky about acting skills first.

Of course, it's just an idea right now. It will take some time for it to be put into practice. Wouldn't it be said that the wind is the rain, so let Li Jingyuan hurry up and implement it for them now.

After talking about his thoughts, and even making a promise of 'if I can't find a suitable script, I will write a copy for you myself', Li Jingyuan finally appeased this group of very eager 'actor volunteers'.

The matter was over, and while chatting, suddenly another girl asked another question. I saw that Xiao Yuan was still messing with the other girls a second ago. In the next second, he suddenly put on a very worried expression and asked Li Jingyuan: "OPPA, how long will you be here?" What about the filming of "RunningMan"? ”

Hyoyeon and Yoona, under the intervention of Lee Kyung-won, have also become regular members of "RunningMan" since the first issue. In this show. The two girls performed very well, and they also won the love of many audiences, and after a long time, they unconsciously treated Li Jingyuan like Wu Xuan. Regarded the 'running man' as his own home.

Right now. Li Jingyuan is leaving, it must be a big blow to the 'family', thinking that the ratings may decline, Xiaoyuan couldn't help but be a little anxious, and couldn't wait to ask.

"Oh, that's it." It just so happened that Li Jingyuan was going to tell a few girls about the matter, but now Xiaoyuan asked. He took the opportunity to say: "I have already been to SBS during the day today, and I have made a decision after discussing it with the program team." Prepare to quit the show for the time being....... ”

If it were someone else, maybe there would be patience to wait for Li Jingyuan to finish speaking. Xiaoyuan is different from the other members, her personality is really a little too anxious, so when Li Jingyuan was halfway through, she had already begun to exclaim: "No~!" OPPA, you mean...... Quit?? ”

Not only was Xiaoyuan shocked, but the other girls also felt that the news was very unexpected. "RunningMan" is now an ace show that can compete with "Two Days and One Night", and if you simply compare the ratings, it has surpassed "The Birth of a Family", which belongs to the same company as SBS but has changed a wave of people. is such an ace show, other artists want to get in with their heads sharpened, but Li Jingyuan said the word 'quit' so lightly, how could he not surprise the girls.

"Look at your eyes, it's not a big deal, is it worth such a pity?" I actually felt a little pity in my heart, but the feeling was not as strong as the girls, and after seeing their eyes, Li Jingyuan couldn't help but laugh and scold, 'I haven't seen the world'.

"Cut~! OPPA, if you are heard by other artists, you will definitely be scolded to death. Pouting, Yun'er complained very unhappily. The reason why she is unhappy now is that Li Jingyuan's indifference is only a small part of the reason, and the bigger reason is because of his decision to quit. After recording so many times, Yuna has long been accustomed to cooperating with Li Jingyuan to trick others, and now Li Jingyuan's withdrawal is equivalent to making her lose an excellent tricky partner, of course she will feel very unhappy.

"That's it." Under Yun'er's lead, the other girls also shouted.

"Stop, stop~!" The group attacked, Li Jingyuan finally couldn't hold on, and as a last resort, he had no choice but to say the real plan: "Okay, okay, I admit that I was wrong, and I didn't finish my words." Actually, I'm just quitting temporarily, and I'll be back when I'm done with the film. ”

"I see, cut, it's boring." Hearing Li Jingyuan's words, the girls suddenly had no intention of continuing to ask, isn't this just an ordinary leave, there is nothing to say at all.

Just now, the crowd was excited, but at this time, he suddenly ignored it, the gap was too big, and Li Jingyuan was a little speechless.

"OPPA, what about our side? Are you also going to quit "Youth Undefeated"? Fortunately, someone interjected, and Xiao Sun finally solved Li Jingyuan's embarrassment by asking this.

"Well, it's to quit. However, unlike Yun'er's side, I want to quit completely on the side of "Undefeated Youth". Nodding, Li Jingyuan said an answer that Xiao Sun didn't want to hear.

"Quitting completely? What are you doing? "I don't understand why it will be different from the 'running man', Xiao Sun immediately asked.

"I'm here to talk about it. You just need to know the way, don't say it. Seeing that Xiaoyang was so anxious, Li Jingyuan thought about it. I decided to tell her what I had heard. first told the girls, and then he continued: "Actually, before going to SBS, I went to KBS first, and told the PD of "Undefeated Youth" about me, and at that time, I heard a message from him - the life of the show "Undefeated Youth" may not have much time. ”

"Huh??" If Li Jingyuan's sentence of 'complete withdrawal' is surprising. Now this news can be regarded as explosive news, hearing his words, everyone unconsciously let out a cry of surprise.

"The reason is actually quite simple. You think, the show has been going on for so long, everything that needs to be done has been done, and the filming continues. It's nothing more than doing what you did a year ago again. Without much novelty, the ratings of the show will inevitably decline, and it is normal for it to be cut at that time. ”

"Rather than waiting until no one is watching it, it is better to take advantage of the opportunity to retire and leave a better impression on the audience. That's what PD told me. ”

The reasons are detailed and reasonable. pondering these reasons, the shouts of the girls naturally disappeared. As a regular member of "Undefeated Youth", Xiao Sun and Yu Li have the most direct feelings. It's also a little more intense than others, after a while. The two of them gradually showed a smile, which seemed to be a little regretful, but it was a little like the relief after letting go of the burden.

"OPPA, did you go to MBC? What do they say? "The three TV stations have already said two, and of course the girls will think of the most popular MBC.

In MBC, Li Jingyuan has two fixed programs, "Infinite Challenge" and "We Are Married", which are the most in terms of quantity, and in terms of the degree that Li Jingyuan values, the weight of these two programs is also much heavier than the two mentioned before.

Because it is more important, maybe Li Jingyuan will not give up as casually as before. The girls were also very curious about Li Jingyuan's decision and MBC's response, so they couldn't help but ask again.

"I haven't gone yet, I just called Brother Tae Hao, and I'm going to meet tomorrow."

"Am I going to go with us, then? I mean, 'I knot' over there. Jessica heard Li Jingyuan's words and asked again on the side. Since he is going to MBC, of course, it is impossible to just talk to Kim Tae-ho about the unprovoked things, and it is obvious that Lee Kyung-won will definitely have to go to the 'I knot' program group. And the show 'I knot' was participated by Li Jingyuan and Jessica, and with this in mind, Jessica asked such a question.

"......, why do I feel so awkward?" Seeing the way Jessica looked when she asked Lee Kyung-won for her opinion, Taeyeon suddenly muttered, and after a few seconds, the girl suddenly had a convulsion, clapped her hands and shouted, "Children, look, are the two of them like a couple who are going through divorce procedures?" ”

Taeyeon's words are simply stunning. Not to mention, if Li Jingyuan and Jessica really went to MBC together to find the 'I knot' program group, and then got a not very good answer, then they will stage a 'parting' in the next show, in this sense, the behavior of the two going to MBC together is really similar to going through divorce procedures in life. Looking at Jessica's expression when she asked Li Jingyuan, she was a little entangled and a little reluctant, isn't it similar to a woman who is about to divorce?

The other girls all laughed, but as the parties concerned, Li Jingyuan and Jessica felt completely different. No matter how sweet they usually are, they will not break up, but as long as they hear words like 'break up', 'divorce', and 'farewell', it will still make the two feel very taboo.

Li Jingyuan is a little better. Jessica was upset. The reason is very simple, in a relationship, the weaker party will always think more, and the mentality of gaining and losing will be a little more serious. Among the CPs of Li Jingyuan and Jessica, it is obvious that Jessica belongs to the weak side, whether it is in the entertainment industry or in life, she is far inferior to Li Jingyuan. Although she usually doesn't show it, she is still very worried about Li Jingyuan leaving him occasionally.

Compared with Lee Kyung-won, Jessica is more taboo about 'separation', so she is very angry at Taeyeon's insignificant sentence: "Ah~! Jin Xiaoyan, is your brain in water? Is this something that can be said casually? ”

While being slapped hard by Jessica a few times, Taeyeon actually realized that she had lost her words, and quickly apologized a few words.

Of course, after Dao Lu apologized, she couldn't help but protest to the others. After all, those girls were turning the rudder too fast when they saw the wind, and they were still laughing just now, and they would pretend to help Jessica like they didn't have trouble, which made Taeyeon a little angry.

Regardless of how Taeyeon and the other girls quarreled, Lee Kyung-won had already put all his mind on Jessica at this time. Seeing her worry and sadness, Li Jingyuan put his arm around the girl's shoulders and made a very gentle promise: "Don't worry, we will definitely not hear the 'get off' notice from the 'I knot' program team, and I dare not say anything else, I am still very sure of this."
