Chapter 8 Rating Poison

On the rooftop of the Chinese Pavilion, four people sat cross-legged on a low couch, staring at each other.

The pork belly on the baking pan was sizzling and oily. Han Zidong used a tong to turn the pork belly over and struck it with both hands, attracting the attention of the other three people.

He glanced at the other three people one by one, then pointed to one of the girls and introduced: "This is Jin Minxiu, you just agreed to be my comic assistant, right?"

Jin Minxiu forced a smile, thinking that she just wanted to come over and have some barbecue. When did she agree to Han Zidong to be a comic assistant?

Just considering that she had to take care of the guest's face, she didn't refute it, so she acquiesced.

Opposite me, Cui Xueli curled her lips and took off her mask, revealing the pretty face that often appeared on TV.

"Oh mo? Oh mo!"

Jin Minxiu sat up straight and covered her mouth in surprise. After a while, she tentatively said, "Maybe you are Shirley?"

Cui Shirley nodded.

"Dafa!"

"Okay, people who don't know better think you're going to change your career to become a comedian."

Han Zidong interrupted Cui Xueli's fan meeting, looked at another girl with single eyelids, and asked Cui Xueli to help introduce her.

Cui Xueli hugged the shoulder of the girl with single eyelids and introduced with a smile: "This is Seulgi, the same age as me."

Jiang Seulqi's eyebrows were raised, giving people a feeling that she was not easy to mess with, but when she smiled, her eyes disappeared into slits, and she looked naive again. She took the initiative to say hello to Han Zidong and Jin Minxiu.

After a brief introduction to each other, Han Zidong called away Jin Minxiu, who had turned into a fangirl, on the pretext of going downstairs to get ingredients.

To be honest, he felt a little regretful. He just exchanged a few pleasantries with Jin Minxiu on the phone and mentioned that he was having a barbecue on the rooftop. If the other party had time, he could come over and have a look.

But what he didn't expect was that this female college student actually came, and she almost arrived with Choi Shirley and Kang Seulgi.

What made him even more speechless was that this girl was also a hidden star-struck fan.

After thinking about it, he reminded: "Today is just an ordinary dinner party. You can be more restrained later, okay?"

Jin Minxiu nodded like a fool: "Then can I take a photo with Sulli? Don't worry, I won't post it on SNS."

"Sulli is an artist, and she is most afraid of having her private life put under a magnifying glass. If you can manage what happened today without telling anyone, let alone taking pictures, maybe you can still be friends in the future."

Han Zidong tactfully declined Jin Minxiu's photo request for Cui Xueli: "There will be many opportunities for taking photos in the future."

Although Jin Minxiu felt a little regretful, she still patted her chest and said, "Don't worry, I guarantee that what happened today will be rotten in your stomach."

"By the way, great writer, how did you and Shirley meet?"

"That's a long story. To make it short, Shirley is very optimistic about my comic script. You also know that she recently filmed a comic drama."

Han Zidong gave an explanation casually, which can be regarded as blessing his comic career with an idol halo.

Jin Minxiu nodded and accepted this statement.

"Anyway, Minxiu, please think carefully about whether you want to be my assistant. It's best if you can give me a reply as soon as possible. After the vacation, I will officially recruit assistants."

"good."

"Wait a minute," Han Zidong tilted his head, stared at Jin Minxiu and asked, "By the way, why have you been speaking plain language to me since yesterday?"

"We are of the same age, let's get along well from now on, writer nim."

Jin Minxiu patted Han Zidong's arm and walked happily towards the store.

On the rooftop, Jiang Seulqi asked carefully while flipping the pork belly: "Sulli, this writer seems to be young."

"Yes, Zidong Oppa was born in 1991, and he has been in Seoul for less than a year."

"Dafa, I thought he was only a year or two older than us at most. His face looks too young."

"I feel the same way, but I have seen his ID card, and it does say he was born in 1991. It cannot be that his ID card is fake."

"By the way, didn't you say there are only three of us? Why is there suddenly an additional comic assistant?"

Cui Shirley raised her cell phone and replied: "Oppa Zidong said that Sister Minxiu was passing by to deliver pancakes. He didn't expect it, so he could only receive her by the way."

When Jiang Seulqi watched her friend reply to messages on her mobile phone, she had a smile on her face the whole time, and a routine unfolded in her heart.

But considering that Sulli has only debuted for three years and f(x) is also on the rise, it is not always good to fall in love at this time.

Then should she give some advice?

And although Han Zidong claims to be a writer and is about to start a studio, he seems young and promising, but on the other hand, doesn't this mean that he has accomplished nothing for the time being?

After many thoughts, Jiang Seulqi finally decided to act according to the situation, just in case she was just overthinking.

With Han Zidong's reminder, Jin Minxiu stopped fussing and ate several rounds of barbecue, and the atmosphere at the table gradually became more lively.

As the person with the highest academic qualifications among the four, Kim Min-soo was highly respected by Choi Shirley and Kang Seul-gi. She completely let go amid the "Onie"s.

"Do you think there is really a future for drawing comics?"

Jiang Seulqi shook her head. She had not officially entered the entertainment industry yet, so she could not give an accurate answer to this question.

However, Cui Xueli understood what Jin Minxiu meant, and she replied with a firm tone: "Of course, let's not talk about anything else, just the film and television adaptation rights of comics. I heard that many production companies in the industry are buying the adaptation rights of popular comics.

Zidong Oppa told me about the outline of his script, and I thought it was very interesting. If the comic is as wonderful as he described, I will also propose to Mr. Lee Soo Man to buy the rights to adapt the comic."

"No, please don't."

Han Zidong, who had just come up, quickly stopped him, lest he could avoid it: "Sulli, I can sell the adaptation rights to anyone, but I can't sell it to you SM CC."

"Why?"

You ask why, don’t you have a clue?

"Then let me make an irresponsible guess as to the cast that your company would have if it bought the rights to adapt this comic.

First of all, the male protagonist, the male protagonist should be Jung Yunho, the female protagonist will most likely be Lee Yeon Hee or Go Ara, the second male lead will be Shim Changmin, and the second female lead..."

When Han Zidong said this, he looked at Cui Xueli: "Who are the actresses in your company?"

Before Cui Xueli could answer, Han Zidong waved his hand again: "It's not important. The second female lead will be played by Lin Yoona. The villain role will be left to Choi Siwon. As for the other roles, it doesn't matter. Anyway, your SM never wants small roles."

It doesn't matter what the role is or what the idol's acting skills are. Giving all the main roles in the series to the idols of his own company is like dividing pork. This kind of thing may sound a bit absurd, but that's what SM CC does.

.

Since SM entered film and television production in 2009, every drama has used this method for internal casting. Similarly, every drama produced and produced by SM has been a mess.

The overbearing casting methods and dismal ratings have made SM famous and criticized in the field of film and television production.

He couldn't help but maliciously speculate that maybe Sulli's new drama was also implicated in SM's notoriety, which is why the ratings were so poor.

Jiang Seulqi was silent after hearing this, Cui Shirley wanted to cry after hearing this, and Kim Minxiu covered her mouth and tried her best to hold back her laughter.
