Chapter 755(1/2)
The following days will be relatively easy, because near the end of the year, the eight teachers are overwhelmed with various activities and cannot practice with them every day.
Su Yan and Cao Zheng were not lazy. Although the Performing Arts Awards is not a conventional stage, it is a grand event for variety artists. Even if there is a small mistake, it will not matter, and the effect may even be better.
But Girls’ Generation doesn’t allow it!
They were not free, but the regular teachers were free, and the ones who practiced with them were replaced by professional dance coaches from SM. They went there about three times a week, for five hours each time, and they could just practice at home.
Su Yan has mastered all the dance moves. What needs to be paid attention to is the positioning. The dance teacher specially arranged new movement lines for Cao Zheng.
Cao also complained endlessly. He complained to Su Yan countless times. Why did he agree when his head was hot? Now it is too late to regret.
Because SBC has officially accepted it, the two names were also announced together with Girls' Generation in the promotion. Many netizens and fans left messages expressing their expectations.
We are already at the stage where we are riding a tiger and it is difficult to get off.
Su Yan was also a little apologetic, so every time after practice, he would invite the other party out for a meal or a cup of coffee, so that Cao Zheng would not be able to say anything else.
On this day, as usual, the two of them stayed at SM again.
There is still a week left before the show, and the shows Su Yan is going to participate in are basically over, so he has more free time.
"Huh...huh...Director, what are your plans for the evening?" Cao Zheng asked, sitting on the ground panting.
"Me? Li Shangmin made an appointment with me and said that if something happened, he might want to go take a look." Su Yan's situation was similar.
"so."
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
"Oh, Zhiyan will come over later and I want to have a meal with you and your wife."
"That's such an unlucky coincidence, and Yoona isn't free either. She's filming a commercial and won't be back until around eight o'clock."
Su Yan also felt a little regretful. Park Zhiyan was his favorite singer, and he went to a concert a few days ago. She sang really well, but he had already promised to someone else and couldn't break the promise, so he had to apologize.
"It's okay. Let's do it next time. There is still a chance. Anyway, you won't go back until January."
"Yes, next time I come to treat a guest, I will call the backup dancers and teachers together. They have worked hard during this time." Su Yan nodded with his chin to the dancers who were resting not far away.
Cao Zheng nodded in agreement. The ladies did not need to go on stage at that time. They just spent time practicing and danced along over and over again. There were no lazy ones. For this, the two of them were grateful.
"Excuse me!"
While the two were chatting, a female voice sounded.
"Oh, Zhiyan, here we come!" Cao Zheng turned around and stood up with a smile.
"Hello, haha." Su Yan and the other backup dancers also said hello.
Sister Spider is here.
"Hello, hello, Director Su, we meet again." Park Zhiyan bent down slightly to greet her.
"What is this?" Actor Cao asked, looking at the bags his wife was carrying in both hands, helping to take them.
"Desserts and coffee, you worked hard at practicing dance. I happened to pass by and bought some." She called others to come over: "The cakes and donuts here are delicious, come and try them all."
"Thank you sister."
"Thank you, senior."
"I will eat well."
Mrs. Cao bought a lot of things. It was considered a small-scale visit. Thank you to the dancers for their support of her husband.
After having food, the atmosphere became very good instantly and everyone was having a good time. Actor Cao also told his wife that the dinner would be held next time and that he would bring the ladies with him.
At five o'clock in the afternoon, it ended a little earlier. After Su Yan said goodbye to them, he drove to the date place.
Li Shangmin called him in the morning, but when he asked what was going on, Momo Jiji refused to say anything, so he asked him to meet him to discuss it in detail. The location was a barbecue restaurant where he served himself at home.
"Director Su, here."
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Li Shangmin standing there waving, and next to him there was a tall, thin, long-headed young man who bowed at ninety degrees from a long distance away.
After he approached, Shang Min introduced him.
"Director Su, this is Jin Chengyuan, his stage name is Sleepy, a very close brother of mine."
"Oh hello!" Su Yan stretched out his hand.
The other party was so reserved that he stretched out his hands without saying anything, and it was at a 90-degree angle.
"Don't be like this, I'm not used to it." Su Yan helped him up and patted his shoulder.
"That's right, Director Su is very nice. Let's sit down and talk first." Li Shangmin greeted the two of them: "You guys sit down first and I'll get the ingredients."
Su Yan probably guessed that the reason why Shang Min invited him over was that he just wanted to find some topics to talk about with this young man, and because he was really unfamiliar with him and didn't know where to start, he just felt that he was too thin, and he was even thinner than himself.
She is a bit taller, her coat is a little baggy on her body, and her face is too good.
Jin Chengyuan didn't dare to look at Su Yan. He occasionally made eye contact with her, quickly smiled, and then turned to look elsewhere. In just a few minutes, he drank three glasses of water.
Fortunately, Li Shangmin came back and broke the slightly embarrassing atmosphere.
"Director Su hasn't tried my skills yet, but my grilled meat is excellent."
"Then I have to give it a try." Su Yan smiled.
"Actually." Li Shangmin kept moving his hands and continued: "You can be considered related to Cheng Yuan and Director Su."
"Oh!?" Su Yan was sure that the person in front of him was meeting for the first time, but since he said so, there must be a reason, so he didn't rush to ask questions.
"He is a singer and has released many songs. He previously participated in "We Got Married" and together with a comedian named Li Guozhu, attracted a lot of attention."
Su Yan understood immediately after hearing this. I made two versions in Korea, one featuring idols, and the other featuring comedians. I heard that the ratings of the latter are sometimes higher.
"That's pretty good!" He agreed casually.
Li Shangmin nodded: "It was good, but the child has been hungry for a long time."
"What do you mean?" Su Yan didn't quite understand: "Are you going to star in a work and then go on a diet?"
"No, that's what it means literally."
"kindness!?"
Su Yan put down his chopsticks and looked at the tall, thin young man.
What does it mean literally? Korea is not Africa, how can there still be cases of starvation? How could it be possible if it wasn’t that he was a singer and had starred in My Knot?
"What's going on?"
Li Shangmin probably also likes this younger brother very much and is afraid of embarrassing him, so he just talks about it himself.
Ten minutes later, Su Yan understood what was going on.
Kim Sung-won debuted for thirteen years and released more than forty records, but his income from the agency was less than 2 million won per month, which was even lower than the income of ordinary people, and the dormitory he lived in was because the company often
Due to arrears in rent and utility bills, his water supply was cut off for up to 11 months, and he was eventually evicted by his landlord.
When he was attending my wedding, he once went to my home to shoot and said that he was too poor. The refrigerator and TV at home were all given by his boss. It turned out to be true. Not to mention that the artist couldn't cook in the house he lived in, it was so good as long as it wasn't
Very poor families with ordinary incomes would not be able to live there.
It’s been so long since I debuted that I can’t afford a car, so sometimes I need to borrow an old car that my brother I know bought for more than ten years when traveling.
The main reason for this is the squeeze of the economic company. Last year, they officially broke up with each other, which directly put Jin Chengyuan into a dilemma. He had almost no monthly income and had to spend all his money to attend a wedding banquet.
So much so that sometimes I can only eat one meal a day.
There was a mother at home who needed his support, so he had no choice but to ask Li Shangmin for help and see if he could introduce some jobs.
Shang Min told the truth, it took ten years to pay back the money, but he has felt better recently. There is no problem in inviting the other party to dinner, but when it comes to arranging people, he still has more than enough intentions but not enough energy.
But his brother really made him feel distressed, so he shamelessly called Su Yan.
Su Yan had heard about Korean artist management companies for a long time, but it had never happened around him, so he didn't pay much attention to it.
But if an artist has a record release and participates in various shows, and even has trouble eating, then there must be something wrong.
Seeing that Su Yan didn't speak for a while, the two of them looked at each other, especially Jin Chengyuan, who was very nervous.
"Director, it doesn't matter if it's difficult. I've been looking for a part-time job recently, just because I'm still in litigation with the original company..."
"Director Su, I have clips of his appearance in the show here, as well as the music video. You can take a look first." Li Shangmin handed over his mobile phone.
Su Yan took it and said, "You guys eat first, and I'll take a look first."
The two nodded, but they were still in the mood, so Su Yan let them go.
Twenty minutes later, Su Yan touched his chin.
He decided to help.
Jin Chengyuan was so pitiful. Although it was the first time we met him, after hearing what happened, I kept sighing in my heart. If I say this kid is lazy and refuses to work, then forget it.
You obviously worked very hard, but in the end you didn't even have enough to eat because of the unscrupulous agency. It's okay if you don't know, but if you don't help others in front of you, you can't live with your conscience.
In addition, he has also participated in my knot, which is a kind of fate. He also carefully watched the video provided by Li Shangmin. It is indeed good. Although he doesn’t understand rap very well, all the clips in the show are still quite effective.
"Wait a moment, I'll make a call." Su Yan said.
"Yeah, you can do whatever you want."
