Chapter 371 Day 367 of Being a Boss (Turning Point)
【2024｜08｜31 revised】
Isn't Grandpa Xu worried? He is also worried, but he knows Xu Yisong's character very well. She has her own plan, and it's useless for them to stop her.
Moreover, did the Xu family get to where they are today by avoiding problems? Opportunities are always accompanied by risks, and the rarer the opportunity, the greater the risk.
He didn't know Xu Yisong's specific thoughts, but he knew that Xu Yisong would not do this out of passion.
Xu Yisong had told him before that the fact that she could investigate step by step by herself until now proved her ability. Grandpa Xu was worried about her, but he was even more happy for her.
This is what the Xu family should be like.
He believed his granddaughter could do it.
"Go ahead and do it. Don't forget that we are behind you." Grandpa Xu reached out and patted Xu Yisong on the shoulder. It was more like recognition than encouragement.
At the same time, it is also a reminder to her that it is okay to do dangerous things, but don't really put yourself in danger. Even asking family members for help is a kind of ability.
He said they would always support her.
What Xu Yisong has heard the most for so long is people advising her to give up. Only her grandfather has supported her from beginning to end.
She looked at her grandfather gratefully without saying anything, then turned to look at her father, also without saying anything.
Things have come to this point, and it is useless for Mr. Xu to persuade her any further, so he had to compromise in the end. However, before letting Xu Yisong leave, he and Xu Yisong made an agreement: "If you fail in the end, you must return to China." Mr. Xu meant that if Xu Yisong failed in the end, she would give up everything in Korea and return to China to develop.
"Okay." Xu Yisong stretched out his hand and high-fived Mr. Xu.
She didn't think she would lose.
And if she really lost, she wouldn't be able to return to China, and she would even die. So there was no possibility of losing.
The first thing after the New Year is the return of Rainbow.
Unlike other companies that only announce the comeback of specific groups, FYH will announce all the artists who will be making a comeback this year at the beginning of each year.
In other words, which artists will return in FYH's year will be announced to fans at the beginning of the new year. Although the specific time will not be announced, there will be a rough order.
Therefore, everyone knows that the first group to return from FYH this year is Rainbow. Although it is not a popular group, everyone still has high expectations for this return because of their trust in FYH.
And as the first group to return with a bang, FYH’s quality is usually not bad, and the same is true for Rainbow’s return this time.
FYH has been preparing for this comeback for nearly half a year.
Xu Yisong has not participated in the subsequent work since the meeting last year to determine the theme of return, and is now only responsible for acceptance.
Rainbow's comeback album is called "Window". Rainbow is the main comeback album, so of course it is also a regular album, with a total of 12 songs. I have already heard the song demo at last year's annual Xu Yisong, and Xu Yisong can only use one word to describe it, that is - stunning.
The song even has three main hits, and half of them will have MVs produced.
Christian is also responsible for all the MVs. What’s even more rare is that each song has a different style and there is no homogeneity at all.
The promotional photos are in hazy gray-purple tones, with a strong sense of unreality, which fits the theme of "Dream Core" very well.
Several people’s faces were not shown on the promotional posters for the trailer.
The seven people were wearing white skirts of different styles, with balloons corresponding to the colors of the rainbow tied to their bodies, and their faces were covered with various exquisite and bizarre head masks.
The whole picture is beautiful and weird, with a familiar dreamlike beauty like that of childhood. However, the strange head breaks this familiarity and puts the picture into another bizarre dream.
In short, whether it is the song, the MV or the members' makeup, they all perfectly fit the theme and fully demonstrate the unique beauty of the theme of "Dream Core".
Xu Yisong was quite satisfied with the finished product.
Once it passes the review, we can start external publicity.
So on the first day after the Spring Festival, FYH announced the first comeback preview of this year: "Is it the memories locked by the window or the heart dancing in the dark?", Rainbow 2017 new comeback album "Window" pre-sale opened, 2017｜02｜04, invite you to enter a distant and hazy dream together. "Picture" "Picture" "Picture"...
In addition to the group photo of the seven people without showing their faces, the promotional poster also includes individual posters of the seven people, and the styles of all of them are in line with the theme of "window".
Seven people were trapped by different "windows", made of wood, metal, stone, and even electronic screens...these were all windows.
They are passages back to the past, or into memories and dreams, but they are also cages that trap people.
This time, Rainbow's outfits were not gorgeous, and could even be said to be quite simple, but this did not mean that their makeup was ordinary. On the contrary, with the specific makeup, this simplicity became a feature, and was more eye-catching than their previous sexy style.
It is also more personal.
[FYH is indeed on time, the comeback trailer came out on the first day after the holiday. 】
[A new style again. As expected, FYH never lets me down. It's really special. 】
[At first glance I thought it was a new girl group, but it turned out to be Rainbow. Their style is quite different from their previous styles.]
[The first picture really scared me. The style of the photo looks bright and lively, like a photo taken at an amusement park, but those weird heads make people feel scared.]
【I also. 】
[But why am I looking forward to it more for some reason? 】
【Curious +1.】
[But I'm really a little scared, so I'd better wait until someone buys it and listens to it before I watch it.]
[Don't be afraid, if there are really horror elements, FYH will mark it, but this one doesn't, so it should be fine. ]
[Although it looked a little strange at first, as I watched them, I thought their headgear was pretty good-looking and inexplicably cute.]
[Actually, apart from the first group poster, the individual photos that followed are very beautiful, and they look even better with the new style. This makeup really suits them, and they are stunning at first glance.]
[This can be used as a makeup for life, right? 】
[I recommend semi-permanent, it looks really good! ]
[I used to think that the girls in Rainbow were pretty, but this time I was really amazed. ]
[I just want to know if the Cody teachers from FYH had a fight this time kkkk. 】
[I want to know too, but unfortunately bunny only did a live broadcast once. ]
[I hope to give bunny more live broadcast tasks like before, and I also want to see more of FYH's daily life. ]
[When will the new season of "One Day" be released? I don't know what to eat without it. ]
【According to gossip, there will be a third season this year (whispering).】
[Where did you get this gossip? Is it accurate?]
……
The performance of this comeback has exceeded Xu Yisong’s initial expectations just by looking at the pre-sales, a perfect start.
Every time we try a new style, we are actually worried that fans won’t be able to accept it, but fortunately the final results are pretty good.
FYH went through a lot last year. The negative impact of public opinion and suppression from all sides was not small. FYH lost a lot of endorsements due to these reasons, and many activities of the artists were rejected. The third season of FYH's lifestyle variety show "One Day" that was originally discussed by netizens was supposed to be filmed last year, but it was shelved because of these things.
Not only that, but even the film and television adaptation of the stage play that had received great response was forced to be suspended. In one year, FYH's turnover has shrunk significantly compared with the previous year, but fortunately it is only a shrinkage and has not fallen into losses.
But if it continues like this, it’s hard to say.
However, although FYH was caught up in various negative storms this year, FYH's public relations were very powerful and handled the situation properly, which indirectly helped FYH gain more attention due to these troubles.
This is the only good thing about it.
Aside from the artists' endorsements and variety shows, the acting department of FYH was probably the biggest hit in the company.
Ever since Xu Yisong was falsely accused of a sex scandal and the subsequent drinking party incident, the FYH actor department lost several role contracts, and even Xu Yisong himself has been able to receive fewer scripts.
Fortunately, FYH won all the previous lawsuits, and many people in the entertainment industry who were on the sidelines have turned their attention back to FYH.
Xu Yisong has been in Korea for a short time and does not have deep roots in the entertainment industry, but that does not mean she has no connections.
FYH has lost a lot of resources, but that doesn’t mean Xu Yisong can’t find new resources.
A few years ago, she went to visit her senior Bong Joon-ho and had dinner with him.
The two have always been in contact. When Xu Yisong was planning to make the "Infinity" series of stage plays, she went to consult Feng Junhao. She knew that she couldn't invite him to be the director, but Feng Junhao knew more people than her and could always introduce the right person to her.
Moreover, he has rich experience in film and television, and can provide a lot of useful suggestions for Xu Yisong's stage play. Indeed, the success of "Infinity - Dream" is inseparable from Feng Junhao's help. Even the screenwriter of the previous stage play was recommended by him.
Later, the stage play received very good response, so Xu Yisong planned to adapt it into a film or television version. When Feng Junhao found out, he helped recommend a director. Unfortunately, the film adaptation has been delayed again and again due to external reasons and has not been finalized yet.
This time, Xu Yisong and Feng Junhao had dinner not for the movie adaptation, but for FYH's film and television resources.
Given his current status, he was not afraid of offending others, so after knowing Xu Yisong's purpose, he readily agreed to help.
Feng Junhao is a man of action. They had just had dinner together before the New Year, and right after the New Year, he called Xu Yisong to help her organize the event.
Feng Junhao said on the other end of the phone: "I have called all the people for you. As for how much you can keep in the end, it all depends on you."
"Thank you, senior. That's enough." Xu Yisong was really grateful to Feng Junhao. If he hadn't come forward, she wouldn't even be able to make an appointment with these directors and screenwriters.
Xu Yisong didn't need Feng Junhao to do anything else. It was good enough that he could help organize the party. The rest was what she, as the president, should do.
Whether it was because of Feng Junhao's relationship or because Xu Yisong's conditions were attractive enough, in the end Xu Yisong got what he wanted.
Ava has been recuperating since her injury, so Xu Yisong, who was originally only responsible for the artist's work, now has to be responsible for the company's daily operations, and his workload has doubled.
Xu Yisong used Feng Junhao's relationship to get in touch with other directors and negotiated a lot of collaborations. The first thing he did when he came back was to find the people in the actor department to hold a meeting.
The resources this time are still very substantial, and they are not just perfunctory just to make up the numbers.
Shin Min Won won the Baeksang Awards' Best Supporting Actor Award for his role in a TV series last year, so it was easier for him to find a role this year. Heo Yisong was also lucky this time as he happened to meet a director who was preparing a political film. Heo Yisong read the script and thought it was very good, so he helped Shin Min Won get an audition opportunity for a role.
This movie is definitely the kind that can win awards. If it turns out to be successful, Shin Min-won may win an award this time. After all, he has been nominated four times, and it would be unreasonable if he didn't win again.
But it’s still a little early to say these things now. What’s important is the opportunity to audition.
In addition, Zhang Zhenyi, who has been silent for nearly half a year and has been in a semi-hidden state to avoid the limelight, was directly given a leading role in a TV series this time.
Although this is a drama centered on a male lead, it is already very good to be able to show his face nowadays, not to mention that he is the female lead. In addition, there are not many female characters in the script, so this female lead can also be outstanding as long as she plays well.
In addition, Kim Tae-ri, who just won the Best Newcomer Award at the Blue Dragon Film Festival last year, is currently on the rise and has many film offers, so there is no need to worry.
FYH's actor department doesn't have many people, and after arranging those who have already debuted, Xu Yisong also plans to promote a few more newcomers.
After all, actors are different from singers, and the direction of acting assessment is completely different. It happened that several trainees were already seniors, so Xu Yisong helped them prepare scripts for practice.
Many of the trainees in FYH's acting department are professionally trained. Although they did not take on any acting jobs in college, they have all participated in short plays or stage plays produced by FYH to some extent, and have a lot more practical experience than other students with the same experience.
Xu Yisong has great confidence in them.
For example, Kim Da-mi, who lived in the same dormitory with Jeon So-yeon, and Lee Do-hyun, who worked with Heo Yi-sung, are also the newcomers promoted by the actor department this year.
The debut of an actor is not as exciting as that of an idol singer, and it is not easy to be noticed. However, it is also a kind of training to conquer the audience with your acting skills step by step and let yourself be seen.
At a dinner party, Heo Yisong met Shin Won-ho, the director of "Reply 1988", and upon learning that Shin was preparing for a new drama, he recommended Lee Do-hyun from his company to him.
Director Shen doesn't have many works, but each one is a masterpiece. If Li Daoxian can star in his drama, it will be worth it even if it is only a small supporting role.
Kim Da-mi will make her official debut through the independent film "2017 The Same Name Stranger Project".
