Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

Chapter 680 Idols’ Signing Levels

"Lin Yuna, what are you talking about? How did X become 'my one'?"

Xu Xian had just retorted to her sister when she saw Li Shuo striding over to her, waving at her with a beaming smile on his face: "Hi, Xu Xian, nice to see you again..."

I swear to God, this was not Li Shuo's intention. Logically, he had never met any member of Beautiful Legs Era in his life, and the latter had not yet become very popular in China. How could he greet others?

On the contrary, Xu Xian, whether from Jin Yaner's perspective or Xu Ji's perspective, she is definitely one of their own.

Li Shuo was originally a sunny and handsome man who was different from the neutral style of South Korea. When Xu Xian saw this spring breeze smile, she was slightly stunned. She responded subconsciously, and then she reacted. Her face was slightly red and she said: "Um, how do you know it's mine? Have you seen me before?"

"I saw your photo at President Xu's place, um, President Xu Ji..."

Li Shuo originally came here to build relationships, so he naturally wouldn't hide it at this time.

His answer was totally beyond Xu Xian's expectation: "Ah? Not Jin Yaner's place?"

"Haha, it looks like you haven't contacted your family for a long time. Go back to South Korea this time and visit them. I actually have a better relationship with President Xu Ji..."

The more Li Shuo talked, the more confused Xu Xian became: What, aren't you Jin Yaner's boyfriend? How are you related to the adoptive mother Xu Ji again?

But no matter what, since Li Shuo brought up his close family members, Xu Xian's unfamiliarity with him naturally disappeared quickly. Li Shuo asked them what they were doing here, and Xu Xian replied that the group members had to sign a simple business agency contract with Sony Agency, and also had to produce some promotional photography materials and the like.

Li Shuo suddenly realized and immediately invited Xu Xian to go to Sony's agency with him...

The two were chatting animatedly, while the other sisters in the Beautiful Legs Era group looked confused. Originally, no one thought that the youngest member of the group, Xu Xian, had anything going on with the strange man, and they were just joking with her just now, but now, are they really in a relationship?

Lin Yuna, who is outgoing, was the first to ask, "Hey, so-and-so, what's your name? We can't just call you by your stage name, right?"

For a moment, Li Shuo's heart beat faster, because among all the people he had licked in his previous life, Lin Yuner, the center of the beautiful legs era, was the one he liked the most. Facing this goddess, the pressure on Li Shuo even exceeded that of meeting Jiang Menghan when he was just reborn! After all, Jiang Menghan could be seen and touched, while Lin Yuner could only be seen through the screen...

But it was only a few seconds of nervousness. Li Shuo didn't even have to take a deep breath as his emotions adjusted in an instant: mainly because Lin Yuna's tone of voice was casual, not as deliberate and fake as in front of the camera. Countless experiences and lessons in two lifetimes told Li Shuo that if he wanted something to happen with the goddess, he couldn't treat her as a goddess. This kind of ordinary communication was the most basic.

Thinking of this, Li Shuo looked Lin Yuner up and down and smiled: "Beautiful lady, since you already know my stage name, why don't you tell me yours first? Let's have a give-and-take relationship..."

"It seems that you have never been in the domestic circle..."

Lin Yuna pouted, but introduced herself and the members around her very straightforwardly: "I'm Yoona, she is..."

What?

Li Shuo felt three black bars appear on his head. He naturally knew that this was everyone's international stage name and a common name among fans, but as a Chinese, he did not accept this.

“Stop, is there a South Korean name?”

"Hey, you're a South Korean foreigner, you're not bad, you seem to recognize our culture... OK, I'm Lin Yuner, you can just call me Yuner unnie..."

“Come on, a name is a name, why do you have to add ‘Ouni’? You don’t look that old…”

"Hehe, we all know your information. I heard that you are still in college, so naturally you have to call us unnie..."

"No, no, there's not that much age difference between us. I'll just call you by your name."

"That's fine... But if you return to your domestic circle like this, you will be accused of disrespecting your seniors..."

While the two were chatting, Xu Xian was walking silently in front. She was actually an introvert in the team and didn't talk much, but the others became impatient, mainly because Lin Yuna "interrogated them for a long time" but didn't get to the point.

Team leader Jessica Jung quickly "commented": "Hey, you've been saying your name for such a long time, but you still don't even know my name..."

Seeing this, Li Shuo quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, my real name is Li Shuo..."

Of course he wouldn't say what country he was from, mainly because he pretended to be a South Korean and gave that group of idols a lecture yesterday, and it's really hard to explain it now since no one asked anyway.

Jessica Jung went straight to the point and asked, "Li Shuo, I heard that you are a newly signed artist of Sony Management? Have you not signed yet?"

"Yes"

"Oh, what route is it? Acting skills? Or voice?"

"Neither. I know a little bit about music composition..."

"Oh~?"

It was just a normal questioning, but after hearing this, the girls suddenly became interested and asked him what works he had. However, Li Shuo really didn't have any foreign works, so it wouldn't work to just tell them "Dala Bangba", so he said nonsense that he didn't have any famous works.

After a few interactions, the girls felt they had figured out Li Shuo's background: although he was signed to Sony's agency, he probably had no works or resume and was a complete newcomer.

Some of the group members who were smart enough obviously lost interest in Li Shuo. Even Lin Yuner lost her enthusiasm for Li Shuo. At this moment, everyone came to the lobby of Sony's agency. The group's agent came over to talk to them. Lin Yuner quickly waved goodbye to Li Shuo and left. Instead, it was Xu Xian who left last. Before leaving, she reported a set of numbers to Li Shuo:

"This is my personal phone number. If you encounter any problems here, you can contact me..."

Then, at the calls of her companions, Xu Xian quickly turned and left.

The attitudes of other girls were normal, so Li Shuo naturally wouldn't blame him. Instead, he was a little moved by Xu Xian's behavior, and decided that if there was a suitable opportunity, he could still help his "goddaughter": Well, Xu Ji's adopted daughter was like a goddaughter to him.

After the girl group left, Li Shuo looked around and then stepped to the front desk: "Hello, I'm Li Shuo, my stage name is X, and I'm here to discuss signing with your company..."

"Please wait"

The receptionist turned on the computer, but soon showed a puzzled look, looked up at Li Shuo, and asked: "I can't find your exclusive agent here, do you have his phone number?"

I don’t even have an exclusive agent!

Li Shuo scratched his head, and once again felt that without the secretariat, he could hardly move forward.

This time he no longer expected to run into someone he knew. He said "wait a moment" and picked up his phone to call Iwasaki Rentaro. After explaining the situation, the president immediately said, "Mr. Li, please wait a moment. I'll send someone down right away... Well, I'm outside right now. Please wait for me until noon, and we'll have a meal together..."

"Okay, thank you, President Iwasaki."

The receptionist treated Li Shuo in a normal and businesslike manner, but she was startled to hear him speak in Japanese, especially the last word "President Iwasaki". After Li Shuo hung up the phone, she quickly put on a smile and said, "Sir, do you want to go to the lounge? We have specially prepared a rest area in the lobby on the first floor for our most distinguished guests..."

As he spoke, he had already left his workstation, bent down slightly, and pointed in one direction with both hands...

"No need, I'll just wait here for a while."

Li Shuo smiled warmly and waited quietly.

Just at this time, there was a commotion coming from the door, and then a group of old acquaintances walked in. They were the Huangmao Boys Band and some stars like Fei Seji. It seemed that this group of people came to Sony Agency for business today.

Li Shuo was standing in a prominent position at the front desk. The group saw him as soon as they entered the room. Someone in the yellow-haired group immediately exclaimed, "Hey, look who that is! X! He is really a signed artist of Sony Entertainment!"

"Tsk, I don't know. If he was an artist, he wouldn't just stand there like that."

"Yanze..."

The yellow-haired guys looked at Yu Yanze, who bravely took on the responsibility of the team. As he walked towards Li Shuo, he said to him loudly: "X, we meet again... Since we are both artists managed by Sony, I think it is necessary for us to get to know each other again..."

Li Shuo, who had been delayed in work due to the lack of a secretary, was in a bad mood at the moment. He had no interest in this yellow-haired guy who was obviously looking for trouble, so he just looked at Yu Yanze indifferently.

The latter was a little embarrassed, but still pointed at the members around him and said, "We are the 2PM boy group that was jointly signed by Sony Management last year. I am Ok Yeon-taek. X, when did you sign with Sony Management?"

After hearing these words, Li Shuo came to his senses: the other party was simply using the same tactics as the seniors and juniors in South Korea, first confirming the identity of the "senior", and then using the identity to put pressure on others.

The corners of his mouth twitched, and he turned to look at Fei Seji and nodded to the dancing enchantress.

Li Shuo meant that among this group of people, only Fei Seji could make him say hello, but Fei Seji misunderstood. She thought Li Shuo was too young and didn't want to answer Yu Yanze's questions, so he was embarrassed by him...

"Ahem, Yu Yanze, you guys signed a joint contract, but he signed a separate contract with Sony Management. We are not in the same system, so stop greeting him randomly..."

Fei Seji spoke up. She is a senior in the circle. With just one sentence, Yu Yanze lowered his head angrily and said, "Yes, senior."

Li Shuo didn't know whether to laugh or cry, but he had to greet Fei Seji: "Sister Fei, can I not call you senior?"

"Oh why?"

"You are young and beautiful, and it feels like calling yourself senior makes you look older... Hehe, there is another reason. I am not in the South Korean entertainment industry, so I am not used to the rules there..."

In fact, he doesn't like this kind of thing.

Fei Seji nodded indifferently, but took the opportunity to ask, "You said before that you write songs, and I thought you wrote songs in China. Now that you say so, you are an overseas talent, right?"

"Uh, just playing around, not really a talent."

"Since you are from overseas, you can't be as humble as people in China. You have signed a contract with Sony Entertainment, which means you are already at the top of the music composition industry. By the way, are you here to sign a contract today?"

"Yes"

"Where's your agent? Why didn't he come?"

“Um, I don’t have an agent.”

"what?"

Fei Seji was stunned for a moment. In the industry, not having an agent often means a very low status. Combined with Li Shuo's newcomer status, this inevitably made Fei Seji feel like "Why did I chat with this guy for most of the day?"

After all, humans are snobbish creatures, and this has nothing to do with appearance or personality.

Seeing this, Yu Yanze, who had been suppressed by his senior, finally found an opportunity and explained as if to popularize science: "Senior, you may not know that Sony Agency has also carried out some contract reforms in recent years. It is no longer the previous structure of all super international superstars. Instead, it focuses on absorbing various potential talents and has divided many contract levels for this purpose..."

"Well, similar to us 2PM, we signed an A-level international agreement with Sony's agency..."

As soon as Li Shuo heard this, he knew that this guy wanted to show off his own contract level, so he immediately interrupted and asked, "Well, what if it's an S-level contract?"

He didn't know his contract status with Sony Entertainment, but he thought he would have to have an S signature.

Yu Yanze glanced at him lightly and said calmly, "Above the A-level international signature is the S-signature, but it is a personalized contract. The agreement gives the artist the greatest degree of autonomy and does not even restrict the artist from cooperating with other agencies. It is precisely because of this that, globally, there are very few people who can be given an S-signature by Sony Agency..."

"In the whole of Japan, I have only heard of Senior Ueda Takami. Well, because she is a local, she signed a more common S-sign..."

The implication of this statement is: We have an international A visa, which is not much different from an ordinary S visa, and we are still elevating ourselves.

Seeing that he was determined to show off, Li Shuo simply gave him a ride and deliberately asked in surprise: "So, your yellow-haired boy group is not worse than the S-signed ones?"

"Haha, you could say that..."

Yu Yanze smiled reservedly, a hint of pride revealed in an instant, and then he was hit on the forehead.

"boom"

Fei Seji hit him on the head in an unladylike manner and said unhappily, "Yu Yanze, what do you mean? I only have an ordinary S-sign!"

Her "ordinary" accentuated her accent, but in fact, because of her dominance in dancing, Auditionress has the highest level of custom-made S-signature.

"I'm sorry, senior. I'm not saying that I'm better than you. Uh, I didn't mean that at all..." Yu Yanze was instantly confused and hurriedly explained.

But Li Shuo was still smiling and saying: "2PM actually has the capital to be proud of it. You are an international contract, and you enjoy better benefits than ordinary contracts. A-level international contract is indeed comparable to S-level contract..."

Seeing Fei Seji's unhappy face, Yu Yanze was very angry with Li Shuo, but his mind was quick, and he took advantage of Li Shuo's shady words and immediately said: "What kind of contract did you sign? What qualifications do you have to comment?"
