After all of them were reborn, who would still be an actor?

Chapter 649 Girls' Generation (Second Update)
This swamp... was both cold and merciless... as if it wanted to devour every inch of his body...

Li Mingyang had never had this experience before, and he continued to explore with great interest.

That felt so good...

……

The warm midday sun shone through the curtains into the messy dormitory room.

Shirley's bed looked like it had been in a water fight; the pillows, sheets, and blankets were all soaked, as if they had been pulled out of the water.

The bed sheet hanging at the foot of the bed was dripping water.

There were more than a dozen bottles of mineral water lying haphazardly on the ground, and on one of the bottles was a bright pink pair of underwear.

On the other bed, Li Mingyang was lying on his side, holding Shirley in his arms. Song Qian's face was nestled peacefully against Li Mingyang's back.

The harmonious and loving scene lasted for a while.

Until... Li Mingyang turned over.

Song Qian cried out in pain, propped herself up with her left arm, covered her face and said, "Director Li, you're pressing on my face."

Li Mingyang opened his eyes, released Shirley, and pulled Song Qian into his arms.

He kissed her, then carried Song Qian to the bathroom to take a shower.

Li Mingyang helped Song Qian apply shower gel, and Song Qian closely helped Li Mingyang lather up with foam.

When it's rinsed clean, it comes out.

Shirley was still asleep, in the same position.

"Oh my god, it's already past one o'clock. I have to record a show today, I'm leaving now."

Li Mingyang glanced at his phone; there were over thirty missed calls.

Song Qian, wrapped in a white bath towel, spread her legs and arms to stop him, saying, "I didn't see you in such a hurry to take a shower, you wouldn't... want to deny it, would you?"

"How could that be? I'm not that kind of person."

"Alright, it's my turn. We haven't had a proper discussion yet!"

"I'll come see you tonight. I really have to go now, I have to go film Running Man today."

Song Qian opened her arms and hugged Li Mingyang, then listened intently to his conscience for a while before letting go of him. "When we debuted as a group, Sulli and Xiujing were only fifteen years old. I am their older sister. If you lie to me, I will not forgive you."

Li Mingyang pinched Song Qian's cheek, which was so tender. "You guys just want to be actors, right? You're too easy to please. I don't have much else, but I have too many film and television resources. It doesn't matter who I give them to."

"But I won't feel at ease if you don't sleep with me!"

"Ha ha!"

Li Mingyang laughed loudly, dodged Song Qian's hug, patted Song Qiong's bottom, waved goodbye, took a few steps, went to Xiao Shuijing's room, opened the door, and went to put on his shoes.

Before entering, Li Mingyang deliberately lowered his height.

He initially thought Song Qian was putting on an act... until he realized that, given Song Qian's height, she genuinely couldn't see the shoes between the two beds.

He stood up straight, and only a small part of the blue shoe cover was visible.

"Director Li, you must be hungry. This is bread I brought from China."

Song Qian stuffed two pieces of bread into Li Mingyang's hands, looking as if she wanted to say something but hesitated.

"Thanks, I am actually a little hungry."

Li Mingyang waved the bread in his hand and left FX's dormitory.

When he got downstairs, Li Mingyang wanted to take a taxi.

Unexpectedly, Li Xiucheng hadn't left; the white Mercedes was still parked downstairs.

Drip!

The white Mercedes' headlights came on, and the car horn sounded!
Li Xiucheng got out of the car and waved to Li Mingyang, "Boss, over here."

Li Mingyang got into the car, tossed the other bread he was holding to Li Xiucheng, and then, while eating Song Qian's bread, said, "To Petit France."

"Why are you going there?"

"I have to film Running Man today!"

"Ah! Are you rushing to catch the second half of the game?" Upon hearing this, Li Xiucheng quickly started the car.

Li Mingyang opened his phone and watched the short video that Song Qian had taken with her phone yesterday.

Recalling Sulli's unique physique, Song Qian's wonderful assist was truly remarkable.

Song Qian is truly a top-notch assistant; she not only does everything herself and actively offers advice, but she also dug up Shirley's little toys.

She knows Sulli very well, and she's got a real knack for it! A true veteran among veterans!
New cars need to be broken in.

Shirley doesn't need it; it's easy to get started but difficult to master.

It was Song Qian who taught me step by step, running around and adjusting all night, until I finally got Shirley to a triple kill and cleared the game!
Li Mingyang suddenly felt a sense of anticipation, wondering what kind of surprise Song Qian would bring tonight.

A top-tier support player, but also the queen of software.

A bewitching vixen!
Some of the bizarre poses in comics are worth trying out tonight.

"Boss, how many did you sleep with last night?"

Once the car entered the road, Li Xiucheng grinned slyly:
"Drive well!"

"I prefer Kim Tae-yeon. She has a petite figure, a cute face, and a mature personality. She's really great... I even spent money to vote for her when she debuted."

"What did you say? Kim Tae-yeon is from Girls' Generation, right?"

"Yeah! We lived in that building when we were girls. Of course, of the nine girls, Yoona is the prettiest."

"You're not seeing things, are you?"

"Boss, you have to trust my judgment as their manager. Even if they were wrapped up like dumplings, I could tell they were Girls' Generation just by their height."

……

Girls' Generation's dormitory.

"Yoona, why do you have dark circles under your eyes? Didn't you sleep well last night?" Seohyun said, brushing her teeth and looking at Yoona in the mirror.

Yoona suddenly lowered her head and said weakly, "Didn't you hear the 'ah ah' sounds last night?"

"No, I went straight to sleep..."

"Are people playing games all night downstairs or upstairs? They keep making noise and I haven't been able to sleep all night. I'm going to complain!" Yoona said through gritted teeth, raising her head.

"We're already being kind by not having any complaints from others."

"Ugh, when can I live in a big villa?! Apartments are so annoying..."

"Movie stars are different; even an 80-square-meter apartment looks small to them."

In South Korea, the unit of measurement for house area is usually "pyeong", with 1 pyeong being approximately equal to 3.3 square meters.

Yoona glanced back at Tiffany, smiled, and then listlessly washed her face and brushed her teeth. Tiffany silently rolled her eyes; she was really a blockhead, showing absolutely no reaction.

Goodbye My Soulmate is Li Mingyang's worst-performing film at the box office.

But even at its worst, it's still relative to Shinsekai and Seoul Spring.

Compared to other movies, Goodbye My Soulmate is a solid twelfth in the annual box office!
The film's profitability is truly astonishing.

Excluding publicity and distribution costs, the pure production cost was 5. The film accumulated 315 million viewers and ultimately grossed 241 billion won. This represents a return of 48 times, setting a record for the highest return on a Korean film this year, and is widely considered a "super blockbuster" by the industry.

Then, SM Entertainment positioned Seohyun and Im Yoona as movie actresses.

SM Entertainment prioritizes the two of them in its film projects.

SM Entertainment has film and television resources, but not many, and the quality is not high, mainly consisting of TV dramas.

SM's best film and television resources come from UAM!

UAM is a joint agency established in 2011 by KeyEast Korea in collaboration with six entertainment companies: AM Entertainment, StarJ, SM, YG, and JYP.

This brokerage firm claims to operate externally, but it also operates internally.

It's essentially a collaboration between idol management companies and film and television agencies, exchanging resources, mutually benefiting each other, and bringing their own artists into a larger circle.

Unless he can break out of the encirclement of the six major companies, he should stay with his original agency.

After washing up, Yoona and Seohyun arrived at the restaurant. They were initially feeling lazy, but when they saw the large and small plates of beef and seafood on the table, they immediately straightened up and their eyes lit up!

The diet of girl groups is strictly controlled and arranged by their managers; they can only eat meat a few times a year.

The main meal we usually eat is fruit and vegetable salad.

"Oh ho! We actually get to eat meat today!" Seohyun exclaimed excitedly.

"Thank you unnie for treating us to meat," Lim Yoona said to her manager.

When Girls' Generation's manager saw that everyone had arrived, he told his assistant to grill meat for Girls' Generation.

The nine women rarely ate meat, and they ate it with gusto, wolfing it down without any regard for their image.

She was a top star in the Korean entertainment industry during her youth.

When they debut, they might be of one mind and united in friendship.

However, as the girl group reached the top, everyone's career development, fan base, and resource allocation became matters of unease. It was inevitable that envy, jealousy, and resentment would arise among the nine girls.

Small cliques compete with each other, create on-screen couples to gain popularity, remain silent to each other, engage in open and covert mockery, and their ambitions inflate. Fighting for resources is also a common occurrence.

Despite various issues, Girls' Generation, as a large nine-member girl group, has an unparalleled chemistry!
Whether it's stage performances, recording programs, or daily life... there's a special sense of balance that's both intertwined and inseparable.

Lee Soo-man probably never expected that this cobbled-together nine-member group would be so harmonious, without any major problems, and with fans being extremely supportive, successfully reaching the top of the Korean Wave and dominating for many years!
The fan base has maintained an unexpectedly balanced ratio of male to female for a long time.

After enjoying a sumptuous barbecue, the manager gave Girls' Generation another half-day off.

Meet at the company at 7 PM.

After their manager and assistant left, the nine women sat around in the living room watching an SBS program. Some sat on the floor, some on the sofa, and some stood.

The eldest sister, Kim Tae-yeon, the second sister, Jessica, the third sister, Lee Soon-kyu, and the fourth sister, Hwang Mi-young, sat on the sofa.

Kim Tae-yeon and Hwang Mi-young sat close together on the far right.

Jessica sat alone on the far left, while Lee Soon-kyu sat in the middle.

The closeness of the four women's relationship and their roles within the team can be seen from the seats they sit in.

Of the four girls, Kim Tae-yeon has the strongest vocal ability, and Kim Tae-yeon and Hwang Mi-young have a better relationship.

Because Jessica is so outstanding, she is rather arrogant and independent.

Lee Soon-kyu is a balancer.

Kim Hyoyeon and Choi Sooyoung were sitting on the floor, not for any particular reason, but simply because they felt comfortable.

Yoona, Seohyun, and Yuri were doing light stretching exercises.

"Yoona, do you have any movies to shoot recently?" Kwon Yuri asked with a smile.

"No, not at all." Lim Yoona shook her head.

"Really? Goodbye My Soulmate is doing so well, you and Seohyun must have received a lot of scripts by now?" Jessica turned around, leaned against the back of the sofa, and said with a concerned look.

Yoona smiled and said, "I don't know either. I'll follow the company's arrangements."

“We’ve heard this countless times. The president has always wanted to expand into the film industry. You guys are so outstanding this year, there’s no reason for him not to give you resources, right, Soon-kyu?” Hwang Mi-young said.

Lee Soo-man's niece, Lee Soon-kyu, nodded.

"Yoona, what's there to hide? You didn't hide it when Director Lee picked you out..."

Kim Tae-yeon has also joined in, and everyone is quite curious, since Im Yoon-ah and Seo Hyun have both entered the film industry.

Why are there no movies being made, and not even TV series?

I've been running with them in Japan.

Lim Yoon-a has a good temper, and everyone asks her about it.

As for asking Seohyun, she ignored him, wouldn't answer, and even rolled her eyes.

Yoona glanced at him, then slowly continued stretching, completely ignoring Seohyun. "Sisters, huh? You always leave me to do all the work."

"I really didn't hide anything. If there's a movie shoot, our team's schedule will be changed in advance." Lim Yoona said, tilting her head and asking in confusion, "Aren't you curious why our manager treated us to meat today?"

"It's definitely not good news."

"How bad it is, we don't know."

"So many tours this year, when can I finally film? I miss the boxed lunches from the film crew!"

"It's been a long, long time since the company arranged for us to go to auditions together."

"You still have to take action yourself. Yoona and Seohyun got their opportunities through their own interviews."

"I've always thought Li Mingyang was a big liar, but I never expected him to actually give me a chance last time. I always thought he was a fraud."

"Jessica unnie regrets it!"

"No regrets."

"Liar."

Yoona's attempt to change the subject failed, and the other women brought the topic back to the main point.

They forced Yoona to confess honestly, and then the girls lifted Yoona up and tickled her feet.

"Haha...no...I really...didn't...want to make a movie, please...let me go!"

Poor Yoona laughed until tears streamed down her face, but the other women still didn't believe her and wouldn't let it go, continuing to increase the power and range of their attacks.

Seohyun looked at Yoona unnie, who was being treated poorly by the other women, and silently took a sip of water, continuing to maintain her aloof demeanor to avoid being caught in the crossfire.
