Li Xiuman looked kind, as if he was looking at his junior.
"Thank you, Teacher Li Xiuman, for your trust. I do have this intention. I happened to have an unfinished song before. I made it into a demo for you to listen to in the past few days."
Chi Jingyuan immediately thanked Li Xiuman for what he said, so he didn't have to take the initiative to bring it up.
"Very good, I'm looking forward to it. After you make the demo, you can just give it to me."
Li Xiuman nodded happily, paused and then added: "Jingyuan, the songs and styles of other groups' return are decided by the company, and the members have very little choice. In other words, you are really good,
Regarding exo's style, I think you have the ability to put forward your own opinions."
"I'm all fostered by the company. I'm very grateful to Teacher Li Xiuman for taking me seriously." Chi Jingyuan stood up and saluted to show that he understood.
"Yeah." Li Xiuman patted Chi Jingyuan's shoulder to show his appreciation.
The two chatted for a while, and towards the end, Li Xiuman added one final sentence:
"Park Jae-hyun joined the company yesterday. I have arranged for him to join your EXO management team and serve as your assistant. It is better for Lee Seung-hwan to follow the team. It is not appropriate for him to be the head of the management team and follow you every day."
"The company is open to the resources you can obtain by relying on your own connections or abilities. Jingyuan, you have broad development prospects, and I don't want you to be limited to the idol industry."
Lee Soo Man, who was wearing a suit, looked quite imposing, but at this time he was not aggressive, and his speech was quite serious.
"Nai, I know, I will work hard." Chi Jingyuan understood what the other party meant.
"hehe……"
When Chi Jingyuan left the office, Li Xiuman patted him hard on the back, his encouragement and appreciation were beyond words.
After Chi Jingyuan left, the smile on Li Xiuman's face gradually faded away, leaving only two shining eyes. He sat back on the boss's chair and picked up the intercom phone.
He had already disappeared, and his tone was very stern:
"Call SJ's manager and Kangin over here."
…
After Chi Jingyuan returned, the practice room was already empty and all the members had left.
The decision to refrigerate has just been announced, and even the members who work hard must not be in the mood to practice.
The empty practice room was silent. The wooden floor, which had been covered with countless sweat, was as smooth as a mirror. The blue sky and white clouds on the wall remained unchanged.
It's obviously the same as before, but the practice room looks awkward right now.
Chi Jingyuan naturally has no intention of practicing. He doesn't want to dance anymore in the past few days.
However, there will be a Music Bank stage on the 25th. Even if the members are not interested, they still need to come back and continue practicing.
Chi Jingyuan didn't want to stay in this practice room for one more second today, so he called Park Jae-hyun and made an appointment at a coffee shop next to the company.
This store called Geek Coffee is located near the SM company building. The straight-line distance is less than 500 meters. It is not very high-end, but its European-style decoration style is very attractive to the petty bourgeoisie white-collar workers working nearby.
The coffee shop echoed with the melodious sound of the piano, mixed with the warm sunshine, and the soft, long breath filled the whole room.
Chi Jingyuan sat in the corner and waited for less than 5 minutes. Park Jae-hyun walked in. After scanning around, he quickly came here, said hello, pulled out a chair and sat down.
He was dressed in a standard office attire, with a shirt, tie, trousers and leather shoes. He did not wear a suit because the temperature was relatively high. He was holding a folder in his hand and looked very formal.
Park Jae-hyun is thirty years old this year. He has an ordinary appearance but very sharp eyes. He has been an assistant to his second brother Ji Kyung-wook for several years. Now he has joined the agency department announced by SM and specializes in being Ji Kyung-won's assistant. In terms of position
You could say he was an agent.
But compared to an artist's manager, he looks more like someone promoting stocks or selling insurance.
"Brother Jaehyun, why are you still dressed like this? Are you supposed to be sitting in the office?"
Chi Jingyuan glanced up and down, his tone helpless.
"Ha, I'm still a little used to it,"
Park Jae-hyun laughed and dusted his shirt with his hands.
In the past, in addition to being an assistant, his main job was to drive, so he was naturally dressed in a suit when he followed Chi Jingxu. However, agents rarely dressed like this, and most of them wore more casual clothes, mainly in a comfortable and casual style.
He and Chi Jingyuan are already very familiar with each other, and they get along relatively casually.
After casually chatting about what happened when he joined SM, the two got down to business.
Park Jae-hyun placed the document bag on the table, took out two bound booklets, handed one to Chi Jingyuan, opened one himself, and introduced at the same time:
"Because you are interested in developing into the film and television industry, I have collected information about some TV dramas that are about to start filming recently. Some of them are crews that are in the process of preparatory work and recruiting actors."
"Your uncle once worked at the top of SBS and managed the film and television department, so he has a wide range of contacts in the film and television industry. Many of these information were given to me by his assistant."
"You can first see if anyone is interested."
Chi Jingyuan nodded, took the booklet, and flipped through it. While reading, he asked, "If I'm interested, can I star in it?"
"It's easy to take the role because I have enough connections and affection."
"But it's hard to say the importance of the role and the number of scenes. Some dramas have already determined the main actors and it's difficult to replace them. Others are productions that TV stations attach greater importance to, and have certain requirements for the role and popularity of the protagonists.
.”
As he said that, Park Jae-hyun looked at Chi Jingyuan carefully and hesitated: "After all, Jingyuan, you haven't officially debuted as an actor, you haven't proven your acting skills, and you haven't gained a reputation yet."
Seeing that Chi Jingyuan remained silent and worried that he was dissatisfied, Park Jae-hyun quickly added:
"Of course, with our strength, if we want to force the show, we have a way, but we just need..."
"Forget it..." Chi Jingyuan refused casually.
He knew that relying on his family and uncle's connections, he could force himself to become the leading actor in some well-produced TV series, but it would require a certain amount of exchange.
But now that he has just debuted, he has little filming experience and his acting skills have not been trained, so there is no need to do this.
"Do you have any recommendations?" Chi Jingyuan glanced at Park Jae-hyun as he flipped through the film and television drama materials in his hand.
"Yes, they are all marked." Park Jae-hyun nodded, holding his booklet, pointing and introducing to Chi Jingyuan: "This "Ghost" is one of the highlights of SBS this year, and the leading actor is So Ji-sub. But the main role has already been
The selection has been completed and filming has started. It will be released on May 30th. However, you can arrange a supporting role with a small role as your debut role."
"There is also this "Big", which is KBS's moon fire drama. This year's new work of the Hong sisters stars Gong Yoo, Lee Min Jung and Bae Suzy, but the filming has already started."
"Forget these two, it's boring to squeeze in."
Chi Jingyuan waved his hand and glanced at the other party in surprise: "Brother Zaixian, you also know the Hong sisters. It seems that you have done a lot of homework."
"Hahaha, of course, being your assistant requires preparation."
Park Jae Hyun smiled reservedly.
Since he received this job, he has been studying things in the Peninsula film and television industry, including directors and some well-known screenwriters. Today, practice makes perfect.
He went on to introduce several other TV series:
"The main role has already been chosen and the filming of the TV series is really not suitable for joining. This "golden time" is a monthly drama expected to be broadcast by MBC in July. It is a popular doctor theme recently. The protagonist has been confirmed to be Lee Sun-kyun.
Supporting roles are still being selected.”
"There is also "Xinyi", I recommend this one more."
"This is a moon-fire drama that SBS will promote in the second half of the year, and the leading actors have been confirmed. They are Lee Min Ho and Kim Hee Sun. This lineup is quite good. Because it is an SBS drama, we can get some preferential treatment, and we should get a good deal.
supporting role."
"The next one... "To the Beautiful You" is a drama co-produced by your SM company and SBS. It is a self-made drama. It is adapted from a comic book. The leading actors are Choi Minho and Choi Shirley, and many of you.
The company’s artists make guest appearances.”
"If you are willing, we can try out for the male lead role in this drama. It's not a big problem."
