Be reborn and be happy to the fullest

"Ah? Li Shuo, when did you come here?"

Yu Yanze turned around in surprise and saw that Li Shuo and a man had been standing behind him. What relieved him was that this time it was not Minister Gaogi standing next to Li Shuo.

But Yu Yanze's relief lasted less than 3 seconds!

The next moment, Fei Seji's expression straightened up, her relaxed body suddenly stood up straight, her waist bent 90 degrees, and she greeted respectfully: "Hello, President Iwasaki!"

At the same time, the agents of Fei Seji and Beautiful Legs Era came forward one after another and bowed in unison: "President Iwasaki!"

"General...President?"

Yu Yanze's expression was so bad that it could not be described as bad. His whole body was shaking.

It’s not that I’m afraid, but I have an indescribable feeling of aggrieved: Damn it, why am I so unlucky? Every time I’m in front of you, Li Shuo, I always get outshined, and it’s always because of you that you offended the senior executives of Sony Agency. Last time it was the director, and this time it’s directly the president!

Li Shuo didn't mean to humiliate Yu Yanze. Although this guy's appearance was annoying, he was just an idol. He was at the bottom of the food chain in the South Korean entertainment industry and was only worthy of being stepped on occasionally when Li Shuo remembered.

Just after he finished filming, he met with Sony Agency's president, Rentaro Iwasaki. He is 45 years old and is a close cousin of Junko Iwasaki. Because they both work in China, they belong to the "overseas faction" like Junko Iwasaki and have a close relationship.

Therefore, Iwasaki Rentaro was also very enthusiastic towards Li Shuo. Although he had something to do today, he finished his work early, declined invitations from all parties, and deliberately rushed back to the company early just to meet and have dinner with Li Shuo!

When Fei Seki called, Iwasaki Rentaro had already come down with Li Shuo. In front of the president, Li Shuo naturally could only refuse, but after hanging up the phone, Iwasaki Rentaro said very naturally, "Fei Seki is an excellent contracted artist of the company, and it's okay for us to have a meal together." So naturally, Li Shuo brought the president to the studio.

“Are you a member of 2PM?”

Iwasaki Rentaro's face was as gloomy as water. He ignored the greetings from others and looked straight at Yu Yanze.

The latter then remembered the identity of the person next to Li Shuo, and the feeling of embarrassment was instantly replaced by fear. He quickly bent down and bowed: "Hi! I am 2PM's Yu Yeon-taek!"

He had been trained in Japanese, so the "hi" he said was still in authentic Kanto accent.

However, Iwasaki Rentaro had a very bad impression of him, and he just said coldly: "If I remember correctly, 2PM is a co-signed artist between us and SM, right?"

Yu Yanze lowered his head: "Yes"

"So, didn't you read the contract document when you signed it? Didn't it clearly state that artists are prohibited from slandering the company? Huh?!"

Yu Yanze was very smart. He didn't resist at all. He was flexible and apologized immediately: "I'm sorry, President Iwasaki, I was wrong. I apologize to you!"

Iwasaki Rentaro sneered and said lightly: "You have violated the contract signed with the company. Let your agent talk to the company..."

After saying just one sentence, she ignored him and turned to Li Shuo and said, "I'm sorry, Mr. Li, I don't want to order him to apologize to you, because I think a simple verbal apology is not enough to punish him. I hope you can understand."

This is to tell Li Shuo that there is no need to let Yu Yanze apologize, because Sony’s agency will deal with him later.

Li Shuo was naturally very satisfied with this solution. He nodded with a smile:

"President Iwasaki is too polite. I won't take such a villain to heart."

After saying that, he ignored Yu Yanze and pulled him to Fei Seji: "Let me introduce you, this is my friend Fei Seji..."

Fei Seji's face was filled with surprise and flattery. She had never expected that things would turn out like this. Li Shuo, who had rejected her invitation, actually came with the boss of his agency!

"Hello, I am……"

Before she could finish, Iwasaki Rentaro waved his hand and pointed at Li Shuo:

"Haha, Mr. Li, you are taking the initiative. Miss Fei Seji is an artist managed by Sony. How can you introduce her?"

This statement is to treat Fei Seki as a "family member", which seems very close. But in fact, Sony has so many international superstars, and Fei Seki has only met Iwasaki Rentaro once when signing the contract. If it weren't for the prefix "my friend" when Li Shuo introduced him, how could Iwasaki Rentaro speak like this?

Fei Seji knew the truth about this and gave Li Shuo a grateful look.

At this time, Li Shuo also explained to Jingwu Yaoji:

"Sister Fei, I came to the company today because I had an appointment for lunch with President Iwasaki, so I just declined your invitation..."

Iwasaki Rentaro, who was standing next to him, said in a teasing tone: "How can an old man like me disturb the dinner party of such handsome men and beautiful women like Mr. Li and Miss Fei!"

Fei Seji laughed and said, "President Iwasaki, you are too polite. You are young and promising. Compared to you, we are the younger generation and still need your guidance..."

This was a polite scene in which both the host and the guests were happy, and the three of them praised each other's business and all of them gained face.

Afterwards, Li Shuo looked at Xu Xian, Lin Yuner and other girls, and then waved to the girls: "Ladies, come here, let me introduce you..."

For a moment, the girls were even a little stunned: if Fei Seki was still "qualified" to know Iwasaki Rentaro, then they, the South Korean idols, were actually not qualified to be introduced.

Fei Seji also frequently winked at Li Shuo, asking him to pay attention to Iwasaki Rentaro and not to let the boss think "you are introducing all kinds of messy people to me".

However, Li Shuo doesn't care about these things at all. What's more, he is not only an artist managed by Sony, but also a partner. His status as the big boss of Shuoguo Culture is theoretically even higher than that of Iwasaki Rentaro, so he doesn't have to worry about these things.

"She is Jessica Jung, the leader of the group... South Korean idol groups are forming a unique trend culture that has now swept across East Asia..."

Li Shuo did not introduce all the beautiful legs era, but only introduced Jessica Jung, Yoona Lim, and Seohyun according to his own preferences, and then praised the idol culture of South Korea. Afterwards, Iwasaki Rentaro said politely: I am very happy to meet all the beauties. Since we met, let's have a meal together...

Of course, although Iwasaki Rentaro vaguely invited everyone, in the end, only the few people whose names Li Shuo mentioned could come to the restaurant: the agents were all very discerning and could figure out who was more important just through Li Shuo's introduction.

After Fei Seul-ji, Jessica Jung, Lim Yoona, and Seohyun were invited by Iwasaki Rentaro and Lee Seok to leave the studio, the atmosphere dominated by the strong men suddenly became chaotic:

"Great! I never thought X would be valued by the top management of Sony Agency!"

"It seems that X should be an S-level signed artist like Senior Fei Se-ji!"

"Since we have Xiao Xian'er as our relationship, it should be much easier for us to cooperate with Sony Management in the future, right?"

"More than that, X is a composer. I'm looking forward to listening to his songs!"

Although the girls of the Beautiful Legs Era had different thoughts, they all looked happy on the surface. Everyone had forgotten about their first meeting with X last night, when the latter had a big scene with their group.

Compared to the Beautiful Legs Generation group, 2PM was dead quiet.

Yu Yanze lowered his head, his face full of anxiety. Just now, their agent was called out by the staff of Sony Agency, and it seemed that they were discussing the disposal plan for him!

The others were not much better either. At this moment, they even felt a little bit strange in their hearts that Yu Yanze had no sense and had to bump into Li Shuo! Now, it didn't matter if he was punished personally, but the fear was that the whole team would be implicated!

After a long time, the agent came back with a cold face, and the first thing he said was: "Yu Yanze, you can pack up and go back to South Korea..."

……

"Welcome X to join our Sony family, cheers!"

In a high-end restaurant in Tianjin, Iwasaki Rentaro raised his glass and started the lunch with an opening speech to welcome Li Shuo to join.

In addition to Li Shuo, Fei Seji and others, there were also Minister Gao Mu and Wei Shuting. The latter had just finished arranging things for Xue Li and returned to Li Shuo. Her appearance also made Fei Seji and other women more speculative about Li Shuo's identity.

"Ouni, isn't Lee Seok a pure artist? Why does he have a secretary?" Sitting next to Fei Seul-ji, Lin Yoona found it very convenient to communicate with this senior.

"Li Shuo is a composer himself, but he seems to have opened a company, um, also in the entertainment and cultural field. I heard that he also cooperated with Sony Entertainment..."

Fei Se-ji narrated what she heard from others to Lin Yoona, and then Lin Yoona shared the information with Jessica Jung and Seohyun on the other side. The beautiful girls of the beautiful legs era looked at Li Shuo with a layer of meaning in their eyes.

The atmosphere in the South Korean entertainment industry is both open and conservative. The open aspect lies in the way female stars dress and the plots of film and television dramas, while the conservative aspect is the default hierarchy. Even the idols themselves know that they are at the bottom of the circle, and the top of the circle is naturally the company boss who controls the artist contracts!

Li Shuo is the boss of an entertainment and cultural company, which is completely different from him being an arranger for idols!

Compared to these young girls, Fei Seji's expression management is much better. She has known about Li Shuo's dual identity for a long time, but she has kept silent until now. After the girls know about it, they will definitely explore the relevant information. Then, she will naturally know more about Li Shuo...

However, the party has just begun, and no matter how immature the girls are, they will not steal the host's lines. What's more, after sitting down, Iwasaki Rentaro began to promote Li Shuo, and the content of his speech was exactly what the women were concerned about.

"To tell you the truth, X was able to sign with our Sony Agency this time because our company got a great deal..."

"First of all, Li Shuo has extraordinary attainments in the entire art field. He can always write novels, scripts, and songs. This year, there is a trend in China that is beginning to rise, that is, interactive film and television games. Do you know what this is?"

Iwasaki Rentaro opened up the conversation and touched upon what everyone was curious about: Why on earth did Li Shuo receive such high praise from the Sony president?

Fei Seji took the initiative to ask: "I know about online games, but as for interactive video games, please forgive my ignorance..."

"Haha, it's not that Miss Fei is ignorant, but Li Shuo has created a brand new film and television category. The production process of this category is very simple. It is to shoot movies and TV shows, edit them into clips, and put them in the game. But before Li Shuo, no one had ever thought of doing this, and the effect is also very good. As far as I know, "The Invisible Guardian" has sold millions of copies in China, right?"

Li Shuo nodded slightly and replied pertinently: "The Chinese market is huge, and millions of units are actually nothing."

"Wow, but if you count all this as box office revenue, it's already tens of millions! It's just a game, but it can actually achieve the same box office results as a movie worth tens of millions. Don't you think it's amazing?"

Iwasaki Rentaro used a simple comparison. When the "tens of millions of movie box office" came out, even the three young girls from the Beautiful Legs Era felt the value of this achievement, and they all looked at Li Shuo with surprise:

"Oppa is awesome!"

"If it was released in South Korea, wouldn't it be the box office champion?"

“Besides, this is an innovative film and television category, and it should be able to win many honorary awards.”

This time, Li Shuo was modest, and Iwasaki Rentaro immediately "criticized" him: "Boss Li, this is where you are smart, you made a fortune quietly, and you obviously have such a good opportunity to earn both reputation and money, but you are unwilling to share it with us..."

As the president of a cultural agency, Sony Agency naturally saw the potential value of interactive film and games early on, and Iwasaki Rentaro also wanted to take this opportunity to reach more cooperation with Shuoguo Culture.

Li Shuo understood what was going on, but he would not give in easily before the other party showed him actual benefits. He just smiled and said:

"President Iwasaki, you are too kind. Compared to these empty things, I actually value the inner meaning of art more..."

Iwasaki Rentaro did not get entangled. Following Li Shuo's subtext, he continued to encourage Li Shuo to the beautiful girls:

"Speaking of art, this is X's special performance. You will know when you go to the Chinese-Korean Song Festival. This time, there should be X's songs..."

Hearing this, the women immediately became very interested: "Oh? What song? Can you tell me about it?"

"It's called "Ordinary Disco". Well, this song was released X number of months ago. I just wonder if there are any new songs coming out?"

At this point, Li Shuo looked at Fei Seji naturally: "I have some inspiration after seeing Miss Fei these two days. I have already written the music score last night. After I finish the lyrics, Miss Fei can listen to it..."

"Oh? Is this a song written for me?"

Fei Seji's face was full of surprise, and she asked for the song as soon as she opened her mouth!

Li Shuo choked slightly, and sighed in his heart that he was indeed a veteran star, knowing when to be thick-skinned, but he was not bad-skinned either, and then smiled and said: "I think its rhythm is extremely suitable for your dance style, Fei Seji..."
