Chapter 1222 The Gods Return

Jessica's singing period was not originally planned to be very long. This kind of thing originally depends on the popularity of the group. If it becomes a big hit, it will be a waste of time to sing. After all, there is no money to sing, which is equivalent to giving to the TV station in vain. Create ratings.

Therefore, most of the groups that have been singing for more than a month are new groups. However, the situation here with Jessica is different, mainly because the two sisters cannot continue to work together. After becoming famous, they will form separate groups, and they cannot Go out to hold concerts, participate in advertisements, etc. to make money.

So in less than half a month, the two of them officially announced that this cooperation was over. Although the time was relatively short, the results were very good. A mini album with sales of more than 200,000, compared to other groups It's a perfect first-line combination.

Even Lee Eun Hee has thought about poaching the little crystal. After all, the child's prospects are good. He can act and sing well. If he and Jung Soo Yeon are free to form a sister duo, the future will be bright.

It's just that s*m is not stupid. After this cooperation, Xiao Jingxing has become a female artist that the company strongly supports. After all, her fame is here. They just need to continue to accept activities for Xiao Jingming to maintain it.

Besides, the backbone of the girl group in their hands is fx. Before the new group has established a firm foothold, they will not let fx fall apart. They even took the initiative to give them a little more money, which can be regarded as Li Menglong doing something good in disguise.

J\u0026K, which played a big role in this comeback, also played two episodes a week until the last episode. The interaction between Lee Mong-ryong and Lee Soon-gyu during the meeting, and the relationship between Jung Soo-yeon and the fans became hot topics of discussion. topic.

This model of separate variety shows and filming before the album has also become the focus of research by various companies. In other words, there were similar ideas before, but the results were not as good as Xu Xian's. Therefore, Xu Xian should be studied more. How can a newcomer Xian produce a variety show that everyone is willing to watch!

There may be many reasons, but the most important one is nothing less than truth. Xu Xian relied on his own status advantage and the support of Li Menglong behind him to capture a lot of Jessica's private side.

At least it's far from Jessica's original position as an iceberg beauty. Generally, companies will definitely object because the risks involved are too great. One careless operation can simply destroy the artist's career. Such revelations in private matters also require appropriateness and courage. of!

In this aspect, I have to mention Li Menglong. In the whole variety show, Li Menglong spent the most time on this part. After all, Xu Xian has done everything that should be filmed and should not be filmed. Li Menglong has to use his own experience to help Xu Xian select Produce a scene that can reveal Jessica’s true self without causing offence.

Although the audience may not be aware of Li Menglong's efforts behind the scenes, Xu Xian knows it clearly in his heart, but he can't thank her enough, and even Li Menglong is not that kind to her.

Xu Xian sometimes wonders. She is just an ordinary girl. Why is Li Menglong so nice to her? To be honest, Lee Soon Kyu is jealous of her in this regard! There was even a time when Xu Xian had some misconceptions. Did Li Menglong like her?

The answer is not complete yet, but there is no doubt that Li Menglong likes her! It’s just that there are many types of likes! Xu Xian can only say that she will do her best to be good to Li Menglong, and she can even say that Li Menglong is her family! Family for life!

With the end of the event, Little Crystal returned to her group again. With the help of s*m, she kept selecting scripts and preparing her comeback album with the group. This is the norm for stars. When they are popular You must cherish this time, not to mention expanding your fame, but at least take advantage of this time to make a fortune, otherwise you will regret it when you get old.

But this slightly utilitarian idea is not suitable for girls. Unlike Xiao Jingshu who continued to work hard after returning home, Jessica slept for more than ten hours that day. She got up to eat, chat, watch TV, and then continued to sleep!

As for letting her take on activities to make money, Jessica rejected all of them. After all, they are extremely popular 365 days a year. If we follow this logic, wouldn't they have to work for a whole year?

There is endless money for girls, so under the influence of Li Menglong, they now focus more on enjoying life and doing things they like, rather than forcing themselves to make money.

The busy girls suddenly became free, but Li Menglong sadly discovered why he was the only one still busy? Logically speaking, when the star has no schedule, he, as an assistant, should have a lot of time to waste.

This is naive, isn't it? Although the girls really don't need him to worry about much recently, there are still many people who don't want him to be idle. Among them, the biggest source of work is from jtbc.

As SW's various programs have achieved good ratings here at JTBC, those shareholders have completely reassured Li Enxi, so they are gradually pushing Li Enxi or SW to the management department of the TV station.

Sw doesn't belong to Li Enxi alone, so she is so busy that she naturally wants to drag Li Menglong in. If this talent is left alone, she will be punished by God. Besides, Li Enxi has always been very good at dealing with Li Menglong.

It is absolutely impossible to have a showdown with him directly. Li Menglong will refuse 10,000%, so we need to subtly and add work to him bit by bit. For example, ask him to come over today to participate in the recording of the refrigerator, and ask him to help watch it tomorrow. Let’s look at the script of the TV series and invite him to attend a meeting of several department heads the day after tomorrow.

Li Menglong was not stupid. He quickly discovered something was wrong, but he just couldn't bear to expose it. After all, Li Enxi was also very tired. He couldn't put so many things on a woman's shoulders, so he pretended not to know. He did something silently.

However, he does not overestimate his ability to manage everything. He only focuses on TV dramas and variety shows. Unlike wireless stations, cable stations are at an absolute disadvantage in terms of the number of programs and TV series, so it is not easy to operate. Very complicated.

These are limited by the scale of the TV station itself. If it is like a wireless station, it cannot afford to hire personnel alone. Therefore, on average in a week, JTBC can only broadcast four variety shows and two TV series at the same time.

Adding news, advertisements and heavy replays in the middle can be considered as enough to last a full day. For the time being, there is no possibility of expansion. Li Menglong does not want to do this through his hands, not for anything else. , just because I’m tired!

So now Li Menglong mainly helps the TV drama department to select some good scripts, or he may simply come forward to directly talk to directors, screenwriters or even some actors; as for variety shows, Li Menglong doesn’t have many options. It depends purely on the PD and the actors themselves.

But fortunately, he is experienced in this aspect. On the one hand, he contacted Liu Jae Suk and even Lee Soo Geun and others to see if they were willing to appear. The format of the program was easy to discuss. On the other hand, he was squeezing Director Luo as hard as Li Enxi was squeezing him. Anyway, Director Luo's creativity was endless, and he liked it too.

Li Menglong is like this. He goes out early and comes back late every day after the girls rest. Not to mention himself, the girls are a little unaccustomed to it. It's as if there is one less person in the family. When they wake up every day, Li Menglong is gone.

When Li Menglong came back, he was often so tired that he still had the energy to joke with them. Besides, the girls couldn't bear to tease him, so they often couldn't speak a few words every day, which even made the atmosphere in the dormitory feel a little gloomy.

Fortunately, girls are not little women who rely on men to live. Are they not living without Li Menglong? Can't have some fun yet? As a result, a medium-sized plan was slowly put into place.

But there was a small celebration before that, which of course was a little surprise for the tired Li Menglong, so they had a phone call with Li Enxi very early today to confirm the time when Li Menglong would get off work.

"You mean to ask me to get off work early? Do you have a fever?" Li Menglong touched Li Enxi's head with concern: "You must hold on!"

"You care about me so much? Are you chasing me?" Li Enxi said teasingly.

"Can't you think a little more positively? This is because I care about you, okay? You are a treasure of our company. If you fall down, won't all the work have to be on my head? You have to be healthy for me. Live!" Li Menglong said very emotionally, but Li Enxi didn't appreciate it.

This sounds awkward. If she hadn't promised the girls, she would have dragged Li Menglong to work overtime until late at night without giving him a penny of overtime pay. But having said that, it seems that Li Menglong really gets paid a penny for coming to work. None.

According to Li Menglong's current level and work ability, if he really needed a salary, his monthly salary would probably start at least eight figures. Silently shuddering, Li Enxi decided not to talk to Li Menglong in order to save some money for the company.

"I'll give you three seconds to think about it. If you don't want to get off work, forget it. Three..." Li Enxi said coldly, but just after counting, Li Menglong ran out immediately without even packing up his things.

Of course, this was just a little joke between the two friends. Li Menglong, who had gone to the bathroom, came back and finished up his work so that he could rush home after eight o'clock. In fact, he knew it from what Li Enxi said. The girls are causing trouble again.

Although I didn’t know what it was exactly, I still looked forward to it a little bit. But when I came back, Li Menglong played a clever trick and went to a convenience store to buy two large bags of rolling paper, and then put it on his chest and back like armor. I feel much safer here.

"Oppa, are you still working?" Yoona's voice came from the phone, but Li Menglong was clearly calling Xu Xian: "Why are you answering the phone? Where is Xiaoxian?"

"What's wrong with me? Am I so unpopular?"

"It's not that big of a deal. I'm almost home. Why are you so concerned about me? I haven't seen you like this a few days ago. You're hiding something from me, right?" Li Menglong put his ear to the door as he spoke, trying to listen. Is there any movement inside?

"Oppa, you'll make me sad if you say that again. I've always felt sorry for you..." Just when Yoona was going to be verbose, she heard Lee Soon Kyu's shout in the distance: "Just a few words, it's too late." Let’s watch TV series, don’t you get bored!”

At Li Soonkyu's urging, the phone was hung up, but the sound of the TV series that had just sounded also disappeared: "Children, he will be back in half an hour. Everyone, take action, we must let..."

Li Shunkyu's voice was very loud, so Li Menglong vaguely heard it even outside the door. He didn't think about cooperating, such as going downstairs to have something to eat before coming back up. However, Li Menglong weighed it carefully and felt that he was intruding now. It must be a very interesting scene to go to.

After all, surprises are all mutual. They had prepared surprises for Li Menglong, so they reciprocated their kindness, borrowed flowers and offered gifts to Buddha. Li Menglong didn't mind using their venue to give them a big surprise in return.

So just when Li Shunkyu was standing on the sofa, encouraging and directing crazily, he heard the sound of the password lock at the door remembering, and the restless living room suddenly became quiet. Who could this be?

Normally, one would have guessed that the other girls were back, but Li Soonkyu looked around and carefully counted the heads. Nine of them were here: Seohyun, Yuri and Hyo who were busy cooking in the kitchen. Yuan; Yoona and Sooyoung who serve the dishes, arrange the dishes and eat secretly; Pani who puffs up her cheeks and blows up balloons in the living room, Jung Soo-yeon who stands on tiptoe pasting words, and Kim Taeyeon who secretly buries mustard in the fried shrimps. , and of course herself who is standing here commanding!

Who else could know the password to this door at this time? Using the elimination method, there is only one person left. The bitch who just finished the phone call and said that he can't go home for half an hour. If Li Menglong can't teleport, it only means that he just did it. Talking on the phone at the door.

He closed the door gently, just like when he came back at midnight. For fear of disturbing the resting girls, he even stood on tiptoes and walked in shrinkingly. However, although the living room was quiet, the girls were all there. Look at him.

Li Menglong seemed not to notice the group of people around him. He avoided all kinds of debris that had not been hung up on the ground and walked all the way back to his room. It was only then that he seemed to suddenly realize.

He waved to Kim Taeyeon to express that he misses her after not seeing each other for a long time, and pointed at Lee Soonkyu to tell her to come down quickly so that she doesn’t fall again. Then he took off the toilet paper on his body and put it at the door: "This is my gift. , and everyone just treat me as if I don’t exist, I won’t disturb you when I come out in half an hour!”

After saying this, Li Menglong directly closed the door of the room, making the girls really didn't know what to say. There must be a lower limit for childishness. Li Menglong was simply a childish player.

Until Pani, who was blowing the balloon at the other end, accidentally blew up the balloon, all the girls seemed to have received a certain signal and swarmed to Li Menglong's door. If Li Menglong hadn't been holding tightly against the door, they would probably have This door can really be kicked open by girls.

"Li Menglong, come out! You dare to make fun of us and don't dare to come out to meet us?" "I haven't seen you for a while. You are getting thicker and thicker. Is toilet paper a gift?" "We have prepared a surprise for you with good intentions. You How dare you do this to us?"

Li Menglong understood the girls' resentment. In fact, he wanted to ask the girls with a smile: "Is it a special surprise?" Is there an emotion you want to radiate from the inside out? Do you really want to kill someone...

However, considering his personal safety, he felt it was more reliable to stay in his room. As for the girls at the door, they quickly dispersed and he couldn't let his good mood be delayed for such a person.

Although it was a surprise for Li Menglong, it was also a celebration after their reunion. Besides, the life was not meant for Li Menglong, so why not make myself happy? Although the reasoning makes sense, it is obvious that everyone has a lot of resentment in their eyes.

Half an hour later, Li Menglong showed up on time, and he was not sneaky, because he couldn't escape even if he was beaten or killed, so he might as well appear braver. As for his acting skills, that's all. I saw at least nine The joy that the girls felt when all the girls gathered together was quite normal, but of course it was possible that they were really not too excited!

"Hey, isn't this our squad leader? When did he come back? Call me and I'll pick you up!" Li Menglong said with a smile to Kim Taeyeon, but he didn't seem to be very popular.

"Hmph, no need to bother you! If you go to pick me up, our time won't match up. Your half hour is as long as our one minute!" Kim Taeyeon wrinkled her nose and said in a sinister manner, even though they had been separated for a while I still miss it a little bit, but I still can’t spare what I should complain about. This is a matter of stance and camp!

Next came the journey of Lee Mong-ryong's setbacks. He was rejected for blowing up balloons for Pani, beaten for helping Jessica post things, and was disliked for serving Yoona. It wasn't until he got to the kitchen that he gained some recognition.

In fact, Xu Xian was a little bit weird about Li Menglong. Everyone kept the news of the girls coming back from Li Menglong, just to give him a surprise. However, after being busy for so long, he was ruined by a prank of Li Menglong. It was really embarrassing. .

"Xiaoxian, stop being like this. If you don't stand by Oppa, then I will be a failure. I won't even have the courage to live!" Li Menglong said exaggeratedly, but he accepted it immediately. A bunch of taunts: Then you die; do you need help; if you can't do it, I can kick you, as long as you stand on the balcony!

Li Menglong really didn't bother to pay attention to the group of resentful women in the living room. Isn't it just a little joke? Can it be more generous? Look at the little chicken intestines, tsk tsk, but fortunately Xu Xian forgives him.

As for the reason why it was so fast, it was mainly because Li Menglong was needed to help with the cooking. As the chef today, Xu Xian was under a lot of pressure. According to the original plan, everyone should be sitting at the dinner table laughing at Li Menglong.

But now there are still a bunch of raw materials in the kitchen, and Li Menglong took over unceremoniously. When the familiar aroma of food came, the girls' resentment finally dissipated, or they could return to this familiar place to see With these familiar people, the joy slowly took over again.

Since the surprise has completely failed, let’s just treat it as a dinner party. Thinking of this, everyone soon became a lot happier. The sound of fighting in the living room once again took over. The reason was very simple: Lin Yuner, Do you deserve a beating?

Li Menglong took the time to glance at it. Regarding the girls' unique way of caressing, he couldn't do anything except mourn for Yoona. Being the maknae would ruin his life!

If it was a warm interaction at the beginning, it soon turned into noise. Even when he was cooking, Li Menglong felt the noise in his ears. He even wanted to put a stereo in the kitchen to make him feel better. , otherwise he would not have the confidence to face this miserable life!

Li Menglong felt from the bottom of his heart that nine girls were really too many people. A minute would pass if each one said a word, so imagine the scene of nine people chatting and playing, repeating this almost every moment. picture.

And the key is that Li Menglong can't handle the situation with nine girls together. He has no right to speak when facing this group of people. Otherwise, if nine people rush forward at the same time, Li Menglong won't be able to greet them. He can responsibly declare that Li Menglong The miserable life is about to come again!

Fortunately, all Li Menglong needed was to adapt. After all, he had been living in this hellish environment for a long time and had only lived in paradise for a short period of time in the past few weeks, so it was not too difficult for him to adapt again.

"Come here to serve the food! Everyone, go wash your hands. Dinner will be served in ten minutes!" Li Menglong yelled towards the living room. If he didn't speak anymore, Yoona might not survive.

A bunch of crazy girls had to line up to have a splash fight or something while washing their hands. Li Menglong thought, should we do some general cleaning after dinner? Isn’t it meaningful as a commemorative event for everyone to reunite? Everyone can participate without saying anything, and it can also promote emotional communication among everyone, which is simply perfect.

Two tables were put together, and the long tabletop was filled with various dishes and takeaways. After all, it was prepared by the girls. It was impossible for them to cook it all by themselves. Besides, they didn't want the last ten people to guard it. There is only one or two edible dishes to fight for, which is very pitiful.

Li Menglong was sitting in the main seat, facing Kim Taeyeon from a distance. The other eight girls were sitting on both sides. Next to Li Menglong were the two maknae. Looking over, they felt quite imposing.

All the girls' eyes were on Li Menglong. He was the head of the family after all, and the girls would still give him face and courtesy, so they were all waiting for him to say something and then start eating.

Li Menglong was not afraid of the stage, and took a sip of the soju in front of him: "Well, it is fate that everyone can be together in the vast sea of ​​people... Although we live happily now, we can't forget the past... Speaking of which, when I first came here... I think about it again A year ago...a month ago I..."

The girls basically reached an agreement. If Li Menglong dared to chatter for more than five minutes, they would be ready to turn over the table. Since they are not allowed to have a good meal, they might as well have a good exchange and see who is in this dormitory. The master!
