Whether there is any specific method, it is actually difficult for Liu Xin'an to answer.
After all, he is a serious person in the entertainment industry and has few connections.
If he had to say it, his uncle jyp was his connection, but it was impossible for jyp to interfere with Bae Zhuhyun, and he didn't want to cause any trouble to his uncle.
The matter of making it public has been put on hold for the time being by Yoo Shin-an and Bae Zhu-hyun. Again, no matter what, it will have to wait until the blank period after the handover is over before making it public.
At this time, there is still almost a week before Bae Zhuhyun and the others' return is officially over.
As for how to continue preparing this week...
Bae Zhuhyun, who arrived at the company early the next morning, had just walked into the practice room door when she was called out by Sung Taechan.
Cheng Taiqian's face, whom he hadn't seen all night, seemed a little haggard. Pei Zhuxuan looked at him suspiciously and asked worriedly: "Brother Taiqian is not feeling well?"
Cheng Taiqian, who was concerned, shook his head, forced a smile, and stared at Pei Zhuhyun thoughtfully.
"Did the uncle from Xin'an yesterday...did he say that he would prepare something for you?"
"That's what happened, but I said I can't make the decision. It depends on the company's decision..."
Pei Zhuxuan recalled the details at yesterday's banquet and answered softly. After that, she seemed to notice something and slightly opened her red lips.
"Did that uncle contact the company?"
"Well... the company received a call early in the morning. Also calling were the mayor of Daegu City, Mayor Kwon, the mayor of Busan, Mayor Park... and some big companies..."
"Uh..." Pei Zhuxuan's hands and feet were numb and she didn't know how to reply. She just pursed her lips and looked stunned.
She only knew what Datai Goryeo meant yesterday, but what Cheng Taiqian said just now could be said to have been heard by her since she was a child.
So even with a night's buffer, she was still inevitably shocked.
"Come with me first, I want to have a chat with you."
It is not difficult to see from Sung Tae-cheon's change of attitude that Bae Joo-hyun's current status in S-M is no longer that of a small artist being manipulated by the company.
With last night's activities, Bae Zhuhyun suddenly became a person with a great say in the company.
Of course, for Bae Zhuhyun, the person involved, everything is still confusing.
So when she heard that the leaders wanted to talk to her, she nodded hurriedly and agreed.
"I understand, let's go there now."
"Okay, come with me."
After waving to Jiang Seulqi and others to wait in the practice room, Sung Tae-cheon led Bae Joo-hyun toward the elevator entrance.
Soon, Pei Zhuhyun took the elevator and arrived at the floor where the senior leaders were.
She rarely comes here, well...she was lucky enough to come here once last year. It was because of a public outburst about herself, and she was brought up by Chief Kim to be scolded.
And now, it's the second time.
My mood has changed drastically between the two times. The last time Bae Zhuhyun came over, she was always frightened.
As for this time... although I am still frightened, I no longer have the fearful feeling I had last time.
"Is it the chairman you want to see?"
On the way to the chairman's office, Bae Zhuhyun couldn't help but secretly ask Sung Taeqian in front of him.
Cheng Taiqian paused, looked back at Pei Zhuxuan, and grinned: "I don't know, I guess so."
"oh..."
It would be okay if it was Li Chengzhu. This chairman was not as fierce as the previous ones. Last time, he said he came here to be scolded. In fact, Li Chengzhu simply criticized her a few words and then comforted her not to take it too seriously.
superior.
If it were Kim Young Min, or even Lee Soo Man who once controlled the company... I'm afraid she would be scolded and cried on the spot.
Soon, Cheng Taiqian brought Bae Zhuhyun to the door of the chairman's office. The former took a deep breath, raised his hand and knocked on the door.
Then, a slightly older male voice came out.
And this voice made Cheng Taiqian and Pei Zhuxuan outside the door stunned.
Counting his pre-debut trainee days, Bae Joo Hyun has been with this company for more than ten years.
In the past ten years, she has met many high-level officials, and the owner of this voice is the person she once feared, Li Xiuman.
That is, the founder of...s-m who is hated by Yoo Shin-an, Park Jin-young, and even Park Jung-sook.
"Just come in."
Lee Soo-man's voice made Sung Tae-cheon and Bae Joo-hyun look at each other. In the end, Sung Tae-cheon's innocent hand spread was replaced by Bae Joo-hyun's pitiful expression.
"I'm definitely not blaming you, don't worry." Cheng Taiqian reassured, then stood aside gloating.
It's not like he had to go in with him anyway.
Bae Joo Hyun also understands this, but facing Lee Soo Man alone is probably not an easy task for any s-m artist.
Well... except Sonny from Girls' Generation, who is Lee Soo Man's niece... kind of a blood relative.
She took a deep breath, mustered up the courage to open the door to the chairman's office, and walked in cautiously, not daring to take a breath.
"Teacher Li Xiuman, and hello, Chairman."
Not only Lee Soo Man was in the office, but Director Lee Sung Joo was also there.
"Well, how was the party yesterday?"
Lee Soo Man didn't speak, but Lee Sung Joo smiled and asked Bae Joo Hyun about the specific situation.
"It was fun and smooth. The staff of the Consulate General also took great care of us."
"That's good. I'm here to come to you this time. I mainly want to tell you something. Today, the company has received a lot of calls from you who want you to endorse products or regional image. What do you think?"
While talking, Li Chengzhu took out a stack of documents from the drawer and handed it to Bae Zhuhyun in front of him.
Pei Zhuxuan was stunned for a moment, then took it and turned it over casually, the boy's hole was shaking.
Before her accident, she was considered the darling of many advertisers. With her extremely outstanding appearance, she often received endorsements for some luxury goods, and she also accepted more national-level products, such as the soju endorsement that she did not want Liu Xin'an to see before.
This kind of...
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! But this time, the stack of documents handed over by Li Chengzhu were almost all top endorsements of soju that were comparable to the previous one...
Perhaps the price is not as good as the price offered by some luxury brands, but in terms of national popularity and subsequent influence on her personally and the team, it is on the same level as the previous soju.
She even saw a cooperation intention with the title "Samsung".
Pei Zhuxuan suppressed her excitement, tried hard to maintain a calm state, and kept her tone as calm as possible.
"Do you want us to represent these things?"
"To be precise, I'm looking for you. Of course, part of me wants to be with you."
"I follow the company's arrangements."
Bae Zhuhyun replied with such a sentence, which made both Li Sooman and Li Chengzhu frown.
These endorsements can indeed bring considerable profits to s-m, and in this matter, they are also the same beneficiaries.
[By the way, the best app for reading and listening to books is currently Yeguo Reading, install the latest version on yeguoyuedu.]
But businessman's intuition prevented Lee Soo Man from making such a hasty decision.
When asking for Bae Zhuhyun's opinion, in addition to respecting Bae... No, it should be said that in addition to respecting Liu Xin'an's ideas, the other thing is that they want to respond to these invitations in a stable way.
This was an olive branch for Liu Xin'an's sake, so what qualifications did they have to make decisions for Liu Xin'an?
And if Liu Xin'an or Bae Zhuhyun refuses, it's easy to say, but if they refuse and people find out... that will be the real trouble.
At this time, Pei Zhuxuan gave the initiative to them again.
Well...it seems that Bae Zhuhyun has grown up a lot in her career as an artist for so many years. This girl who was always timid and shy when she first debuted has transformed into a person of her own, and has even learned to force the company to express its stance.
...Lee Soo Man couldn't help but sigh.
As for Bae Zhuhyun herself...
In fact, she didn't think much about it at all, she just felt that she didn't know how to make a decision about these invitations.
"I heard that you are planning to entertain Liu Xin'an this afternoon, right?"
Lee Soo Man, who had always been quiet, finally spoke.
There is a bit of smile in the old voice, and the friendly feeling can easily make people take off their guard.
"Yes, we don't have much schedule in the afternoon, so we would like to thank Mr. Liu Xin'an who gave us the opportunity this time and invited us to attend the consulate general dinner. Can we do this?"
"Of course, it just so happens that you can take this opportunity to get along well. Aren't you in a particularly close relationship?"
Bae Joo-hyun was very embarrassed to be teased by Lee Soo-man like this. She lowered her head in embarrassment and apologized honestly: "I'm sorry, Teacher Lee Soo-man."
"Ah, it's okay. You have reached the age to fall in love. This is normal. I just take this opportunity to express your gratitude to him on behalf of the company. The company is also grateful for his care this time."
"Okay, I understand, I will tell him on your behalf."
"Well... in terms of endorsements, what the company means is that it is best to listen to Mr. Liu Xin'an's suggestions to choose which ones to accept. It will be better for your future development."
What Li Xiuman said made Bae Zhuhyun stunned. No matter how nervous she was, she could still hear the goodwill and inquiry in Li Xiuman's words.
With the character of an old fox like Lee Soo Man, he would generally not hand over the initiative so easily, but the funny thing is that he mistook Bae Joo Hyun's confusion for the other party's pressure...
So I no longer concealed my true wishes.
The nervousness of meeting the leader has mostly dissipated with the chat, and gradually, Pei Zhuxuan has returned to his usual calm side.
After realizing that the initiative was actually in her and Liu Xin'an's hands, Pei Zhuxuan suddenly felt that the old man with an old face in front of her did not scare her as much as before.
She lowered her head slightly to prevent her change of mentality from being exposed in front of Li Xiuman and Li Chengzhu. After being quiet for a few seconds, she did not continue to dwell on this topic, but changed the topic to another problem that she urgently needed to solve.
"Teacher Li Xiuman, as well as the chairman, my relationship with Xin'an has been known to many people, so I want to take the initiative to disclose my relationship with Xin'an to my fans. I wonder if the company can agree with my decision?"
After saying that, Bae Zhuhyun looked up at the two people in front of her, but the solemn scene that Bae Zhuhyun imagined did not appear. On the contrary, Li Xiuman and Li Chengzhu smiled after hearing her request.
"Well... when you meet someone you like, and he is such an excellent person, of course you should be happy to share it with your fans. The company has no right to stop you. This is your freedom. If you need the company's help at that time
If so, you can feel free to make requests to the company."
What Li Chengzhu said made Bae Zhuhyun couldn't help but wonder if there was something wrong with her ears.
This is s-m!
On her first day of employment, Lee Soo Man once lectured them that it was extremely inappropriate for an artist to fall in love!
Even if we talk about it, we must not expose it in front of fans.
This is what Lee Soo Man said personally at that time.
Why...this standard suddenly became flexible?
She couldn't help but look at Li Xiuman, who had personally lectured them back then.
And this old man is indeed a "tyrant" who has been in power in S-M for many years. Even if Li Chengzhu next to him said something to slap him in the face, his expression never changed at all.
Prevent?
Do not make jokes.
He couldn't wait to announce this matter through an announcement on the s-m official website.
Just announcing the intimate relationship between the two at the banquet has given s-m so many opportunities. If this relationship is made public later... he can't even imagine the opportunities that will come with it.
.
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! As for Bae Joo Hyun's concern about fans' dissatisfaction...
That's really not a problem.
"You don't have to worry too much about fans. The company will cooperate with you and Liu Xin'an, and Liu Xin'an's mother is also from our country. If you are with him, you should not be rejected by too many fans."
Li Xiuman spoke slowly and made the company's attitude clear.
The company can still support such an open relationship, and Bae Joo-hyun is probably the only exception among Korean artists.
"...Will the company support us?"
Li Xiuman nodded, crossed his arms with a faint smile on his face: "Actually, if you and Mr. Liu Xin'an can really last for a long time, it will be a great thing for you and the company."
Nothing better."
———
The perspective switches to Liu Xin'an's side.
After breakfast, Liu Xin'an went to the Consulate General to visit the leaders who entertained him this time. Of course, he did not forget to chat with Dai Zhiyuan for a while.
On weekdays, Dai Zhiyuan was quite busy as the cultural consul, but when Liu Xin'an came over, Dai Zhiyuan happened to be fishing.
"I will withdraw to Seoul in a moment. Please contact me when you come to Seoul for business. Zhuhyun and I will treat you to dinner."
“How many more days will you stay in Busan?”
"I have to edit the video when I get back." Liu Xin'an patted the camera in his bag. He didn't forget the purpose of "water video" this time.
From the entrance yesterday to the subsequent shots of details in various venues, he took a lot of photos.
Well...of course, he will delete all the scenes involving Bae Zhuhyun and the others when the time comes.
In fact, it’s fine if you don’t delete it. They are planning to release it anyway, so they will just release the video a few days before it is released.
"After you finish editing the video, remember to send it to me first. I'll go over it for you, and then you can send it out."
Liu Xin'an grinned: "Don't worry, just because I can pass the trial at your place does not mean that the small station can pass the trial."
"...Is it so real?"
"That's true, but I will definitely send you a copy, and you can help me take a look at it when the time comes. If there is anything I said that is wrong, please tell me."
After all, Liu Xin'an is not a relevant staff member here, so there are bound to be some errors in his narration.
Although most water friends will certainly not be able to spot these mistakes, it is always a good thing to be more rigorous.
"No problem, but when you were filming the video, Irene and the others should have appeared together. In this regard...how do you plan to solve it, edit it out?"
"Let's see when the video is released. As you know, Zhuhyun and I plan to make it public. It's probably around this time."
"Well...that's fine. If nothing else happens, you and Eileen will have frequent contact with us next year. Don't worry and make it public publicly. We will cooperate with you!"
Dai Zhiyuan patted Liu Xin'an on the shoulder and gave Liu Xin'an an encouraging look.
Liu Xin'an was stunned for a moment. He didn't seem to understand the meaning of this sentence.
"What do you mean the number of contacts will not be less next year?"
"Well, don't you know?"
"what do you know?"
Dai Zhiyuan was deeply surprised by Liu Xin'an's confusion. He originally thought Liu Xin'an knew about it.
"Next year will be a very special year."
"Special year?"
Dai Zhiyuan raised his eyebrows and said word by word: "China and Korea established diplomatic relations in 1992. Next year..."
"30th anniversary?!" Liu Xin'an finally realized what Dai Zhiyuan wanted to say, and he spoke in surprise about this special year.
Dai Zhiyuan also smiled and nodded, then beamed: "When you two make it public, you two will be the most famous transnational couple in recent years. At such a critical period..."
Dai Zhiyuan said it very cleverly. He didn't say anything, but he seemed to have said everything.
Liu Xin was relieved to understand. He breathed a sigh of relief and nodded with confidence.
———
The perspective returned to Bae Zhuhyun again.
"How long will it last?" Pei Zhuxuan didn't quite understand the meaning of these words. She looked at Li Xiuman in confusion and asked aloud.
Li Xiuman had no intention of hiding anything. He spoke in a deep voice and explained to Pei Zhuxuan: "Next year is the 30th anniversary of the establishment of diplomatic relations between our country and China, and a series of activities will be carried out at that time."
"Then Xin'an and I..."
"Yes, as the most famous transnational couple of the recent generation, if nothing unexpected happens, you will be the center of this event."
Pei Zhuxuan was really surprised by this news this time. She pursed her lips, tried her best to hold back her excitement, and continued to remain calm.
"Is that why the company supports us?"
"In short... you can make it public that the company's development focus next year will also be on Red Velvet. You don't have to worry too much about the fans' reaction, and..." Li Xiuman showed a smile like an old fox, behind the pair of black-rimmed glasses
Narrowing his eyes into a slit, he said slowly, "China will definitely support you."
If the local fans in Goryeo boycott, just boycott it. How many fans can red velvet have in Goryeo?
In this return, fans from China contributed nearly 70% of the album sales. Even if the worst happens, in this special period, just with the help from China, throughout next year,
red velvet doesn’t worry about the popularity.
Moreover, they are experts in controlling public opinion.
With their cooperation with all parties, it is not difficult to get fans to support Bae Zhuhyun and Liu Xinan.
"That's it..."
"So, Erin, when do you plan to announce this good news to fans?"
Pei Zhuhyun remained silent, frowning in deep thought.
