The national goddess of Korean entertainment

Since the afternoon, the sky has been cloudy, and in the evening, snowflakes are falling, covering Seoul with a layer of frost.

The weather was very cold, but outside an office building on Chungmuro ​​Road, there were quite a few reporters scattered around. Even though they were stamping their feet in the cold, they still refused to leave.

"Yes, isn't it today?" Gasping in his hands, a chubby reporter leaned forward, "Could it be that you guys got the date wrong? Besides, how could the opening ceremony be held at night? ?”

"Being leaned on by a fat reporter, the reporter in front was also annoyed, turned his head and pushed his big head away, and shouted loudly: "It's your first day as a reporter, right?I'm getting impatient after waiting so long, do you know that the first rule of being a reporter is to be patient..."

Before he finished yelling, the fat reporter sneezed on his face.

"Ah..." The fat reporter was also taken aback. Looking at the angry senior, he kept nodding and bowing, "I'm sorry, senior, I didn't mean to..."

"That's enough..." He opened the fat reporter's hand in disgust, wiped his face, and said with a frown, "Waiting to go. I have a friend who works as a manager in SM, and they say that even Li Manxiu has received invitations, it must be today night."

"Oh..." The fat reporter breathed a sigh of relief, and as expected, he obediently stepped back and waited.

He has only been a reporter for a short time, and he hasn't had any achievements yet. If he can take a good photo today, it will definitely add a touch of glory to his resume.

However, it is really strange, Xu Zhiyuan is known as the goddess of the nation, she has filmed so many movies in the United States, and her family is so rich, why did she choose Chungmuro ​​to open her agency?

Although Chungmuro ​​is a movie street, few big brokerage companies are located here, and the powerful ones are all opened in Apgujeong.

And the name is "Artistic Life", which sounds really old-fashioned.

He muttered softly, but he was still heard by the reporter next to him.

The reporter turned his head and stared at him, complaining disdainfully, "Newcomers, please be honest, you still complain at your level? Do you know that the name 'Art Life' is the company that Xu Zhiyuan's former manager opened before? Later the company closed down, and Kim Dae Jong I have been Xu Zhiyuan's agent for a few years now? In about five years, Xu Zhiyuan has partnered with him to open a brokerage company again! Do you know how many agents envy him!"

A few words embarrassed the fat reporter.Sure enough, the newcomer had too many things he didn't know, muttering to himself, he took out a pen and quickly wrote this down.

I wanted to ask again, but I heard someone in the reporter group shouting, "Here we are..."

Stretching his neck, he saw a stretched black Lincoln approaching.

The car stopped in front of the door, a man in a black coat got off first, and after getting out of the car, he turned to the other side in a gentlemanly way, and helped down a beautiful woman in luxurious fur.

It's Seo Ji Won!

The fat reporter raised his eyebrows, and first wrote down in his notebook: "Wearing fur is not environmentally friendly..."

I just finished writing when I heard a reporter say, "Ah, it's high imitation faux fur! I remember that Xu Zhiyuan was also wearing faux fur last time..."

With a black line on his face, the fat reporter tried his best to scribble out that line of words with a pen, but he hadn't scribbled it out yet, and had already been trained by his peers.

"That's not the way to find news! Boy, if you write about other celebrity scandals, you might still be popular. You're just waiting to be k'ed when you write about Xu Zhiyuan, right?"

Don't bother to pay attention to this newcomer, that person rushed forward with a camera.

It's just that before the reporters rushed to Xu Zhiyuan's side, they were blocked by the security guards who showed up.

Kim Dae-jong turned around, smiled and pressed his hands, "My friends from the press, it's cold, everyone has worked hard, I'm sorry, Zhiyuan can't accept interviews now, and the guests will arrive soon-you can take pictures, but Don't harass our guests, and hope everyone will cooperate more."

While talking, a waiter came out of the door, holding a tray with hot soy milk and snacks in his hand.

"I know how to be a man..." The fat reporter was already hungry, and just about to reach out for it, he caught a glimpse of the senior besides picking up food on the plate, and calmly picked up an envelope and put it in his pocket.

Not only him, but also the other seniors. In addition to taking food and drinks, they naturally picked up an envelope.

"Stinky boy, what are you still doing? There's a fare for the car and horses - don't collect it!"

Helped to get an envelope, the senior stuffed it into his arms, but he turned his back and secretly counted the money to go to the city from the envelope, "Ah, 20, Zhiyuan is still generous..."

Scratching his head, the fat reporter was a little confused.

I've heard of this kind of thing before, but it seems that only the invited reporters get any red envelopes, right?He was not invited here to help build momentum.

He gave him a blank look, and the senior who stuffed money into him knocked his head down, "Fool, Xu Zhiyuan is so famous now, and you are still using you to build momentum, so take a good photo of you! As long as there is news about Xu Zhiyuan, the newspaper will definitely sell well." .”

The reporters at this end were talking, and Xu Zhiyuan, who had walked around the company at the other end, also turned out. Checking the time, it was already 06:30, and the guests should be coming soon.

Breathing out, the red-faced Jin Dazhong persuaded Xu Zhiyuan: "Zhiyuan, go in, and I will call you when someone comes!"

"That's so embarrassing, I am the host, of course I should be more polite. Brother Da Zhong, I will stand here with you to welcome the guests."

Smiling and hugging Jin Dazhong, Xu Zhiyuan said with a smile: "Sister-in-law should stand here with you. If she comes, I will make way."

"Just kidding me again, the child is still young, so she won't come to take care of the child. Besides, tonight should belong to the two of us."

Jin Dazhong said with emotion, turning his head, looking at the three-story office building behind him, and the three words "artistic life" inlaid in front of the door, his eyes felt sour.

This three-story office building was purchased by Xu Zhiyuan, and then leased to the company after renovation.Originally, Xu Zhiyuan said that it was free to use, but Kim Dae-jong felt that he had invested little in the first place, and this advantage could not be taken advantage of. After the negotiation between the two parties, Xu Zhiyuan still collected part of the money for rent, but it was still much less than the normal rent.

Although the house on Chungmuro ​​is relatively cheaper, Xu Zhiyuan and him chose to open the company here not to save money, but because they went out from Chungmuro ​​in the first place.

Now that they are back, they have to regain a firm foothold on Chungmuro.

He is very grateful to Xu Zhiyuan for supporting him in this way, and even more grateful to Xu Zhiyuan for naming the new company "Art Life", which reminds him of the glory and downfall in the past. Can you start a company again and be the boss?

"Zhiyuan, lucky to have you..."

"Hey, brother Da Zhong, don't you want to cry? On a happy day, if you cry, stay away from me. I'm afraid you'll rub your nose all over me."

"Ah, this girl..." Jin Dazhong complained, but he really stopped crying, wiped his eyes, and smiled brightly, "Ah, a guest is here..."

A black nanny car drove up, and the one who got out of the car was a handsome tall young man. Although his figure was a little fatter and his face was round, he still looked very handsome.

"Choi Siwon!"

SJ’s Choi Siwon, and Seo Jiwon’s friendship started before she made her official debut. Some people even broke the news that when Seo Jiwon was not popular and played a role with Choi Siwon, she confessed to Choi Siwon on the set, although both parties said it was a Just kidding, but now that Choi Siwon has left the team and is present alone, it still makes the reporters excited.

Although I didn't rush forward after receiving the money, it's still okay to take pictures, right?Especially the photo of Choi Siwon hugging Seo Jiwon and making a gentle face-to-face ceremony is very interesting!

Although he knew that the reporters were taking pictures, Choi Siwon didn't care, he still smiled and joked with Seo Jiwon, "Congratulations, Jiwon, I prepared a gift for you!"

Hearing the gift, Xu Zhiyuan stretched out her hand naturally, without any sense of unfamiliarity.

Seeing her stretch out her hand, Cui Siyuan couldn't help but be angry with her, "Is there anyone like you, this girl?"

Raising his wrist and looking at the time, Cui Shiyuan suddenly said: "Ah, here we come..."

A truck was driving over, and the worker who jumped out looked at the group of reporters strangely, turned his head and saw Xu Zhiyuan, and suddenly said "ah".

"God, Xu Zhiyuan?! Can you sign it for me?"

Cui Shiyuan raised his eyebrows helplessly, "Uncle, mine..."

"Ah, right away..." Putting away Xu Zhiyuan's signature, the worker turned around quickly, and carefully lifted things down with his companions.

It looks pretty heavy!

Xu Zhiyuan blinked, very curious, not only her, but the reporters also had their guns and short cannons ready, just waiting to take pictures of the moment when the red cloth was lifted off.

Putting the ten-meter-long large ornament in the middle of the small square at the entrance, the worker turned his head with a smile, and Choi Siwon smiled and motioned Xu Zhiyuan to lift it.

Xu Zhiyuan walked over, picked up a corner, and lifted it suddenly. Before she could see what it was, she felt that it was shining.

I don't know if it's because the flashlight is too dazzling, or the golden light of the thing itself. Xu Zhiyuan took a closer look and realized that it was a four-clawed golden dragon with an average length of ten meters. It was standing on auspicious clouds and holding pearls in its mouth. The golden whiskers seemed to be trembling slightly. It's as if it will come alive at any time.

"Thousands of miles in the dragon, the spirit of the dragon and the horse, the leaping of the dragon and the tiger... Ah, something seems wrong..." Cui Shiyuan pulled his hair. Although the Chinese language is quite standard, the use of words and sentences is still a bit strange.

However, Choi Siwon, who had studied in China, thought of giving such a gift, he was already very thoughtful.

"I really like it!" Xu Zhiyuan couldn't help touching it, thought for a while and said: "Should I put it in the hall, brother Siyuan, isn't this pure gold? I don't want to be stolen by thieves. "

"No, it's just gold-plated. It seems to be copper inside?" Cui Shiyuan leaned over and looked at it with a smile. "The craftsmanship is really good. I ordered it two months in advance. It can be seen that the master is very hardworking."

Nodding yes, Xu Zhiyuan wanted to thank her again when she heard the car horn beeping.

Turning around, another nanny car drove up, and those handsome young men from SJ jumped out of the car. Seeing Choi Siwon, Kim Heechul yelled first: "You kid can sneak away, it's too much—— Ah, so beautiful! What do you do with our present?"

A group of young people talked and laughed and rushed over to pat Choi Siwon, and even Kim Heechul put his hands on Choi Siwon's neck.

It was the team leader, Park Jung-soo, who went over to say hello to Seo Ji-won in a serious manner, "Ji-won xi, our gift will be delivered later."

Although curious, Xu Zhiyuan didn't ask, just nodded with a smile.

After sj, it was Girls' Generation, TVXQ duo, and then jyj where Kim Jaejoong was. They met again, and the five young people greeted each other with smiles. It's another feeling.

Some reporters were even excited, this photo alone was worth the wait in the snow.

Although the snowflakes kept falling, the most popular groups in the Korean music scene did not go in. Instead, they stood in the small square at the entrance, not knowing what they were waiting for.

The snowflakes were even bigger, but some artists showed up one after another.

Here, some Xu Zhiyuan sent invitations in person, and some came by themselves, or went in to rest inside, or stood curiously at the door to watch the excitement.

Finally, a nanny car was left behind, and the people who got out of the car were actually members of the old group Shinhwa, and all of them were present.

Seeing Shinhwa's arrival, several groups that had been there before stepped forward to salute one after another.

"Everyone is very early! Now that everyone is here, let's get ready!"

As the captain, Moon Jung-hyuk greeted Seo Ji-won with a smile, and gestured to his companions behind him.

Lee Min Woo, who has always been quiet, smiled and nodded, still looking cool.But Jin Dongwan greeted with a smile: "Zhiyuan, I must send my brother an autographed photo later, I promised my niece will definitely get it—please..."

Nodding with a smile, Xu Zhiyuan was also very surprised to see a staff take the audio equipment from the nanny's car.

This is not an arrangement she knew in advance.

"Everyone made their debut from SM..." Jin Zaizhong walked up to her and said something in a low voice. Although he had a smile on his face, he couldn't hide his emotion.

Although there are too many grievances, the memory of SM cannot be erased in a lifetime.

Whether it's jyj now, Shinhwa who has joined Shinhwa Company and is preparing for a full comeback, or Xu Zhiyuan who actually feels that time is blurred, they always have the imprint of sm on them.

And sj, Girls' Generation, TVXQ and the boys who came along and haven't debuted yet, they are all the same.

Perhaps, this might be one of the reasons why Li Xiuman agreed with their congratulations?

This is a shocking performance, although the time is very short, but the classic old songs, as well as the vigorous singing and dancing of young people and beauties, made this cold winter night with snow drifting hot Incomparable.

This is TVXQ's first joint performance after the breakup. The classic hit song "hug" moved people so much that they almost shed tears.

The guests who arrived one after another, some just stopped outside the door to listen, and some stood at the door or in the hall to look out. In just half an hour, it became a feast for the music industry at the beginning of 2012. The opening ceremony of Seo Ji Won's agency has been a topic of conversation for many years.

"That year..."

But not only that, the night was getting darker, but in front of this seemingly unremarkable three-story building, there were always visitors.

Xu Zhiyuan has been receiving guests with a smile on her face.

Apart from friends from the music industry, the ones who came the most were from the entertainment industry.

The male gods in the eyes of fans appeared one by one, from the veteran Bae Yong Joon, to the [-]th generation Won Bin and Rain, to the latest male gods Lee Min Ho, Kim Hyun Joong, etc. And Kim Soo Hyun, who is very popular, was photographed by reporters one by one.

There were even powerful actors, the Korean troika, Kim Yun-seok, Park Xinyang, Lee Jung-jae, etc., and even An Ki-sung was there.

The same goes for the goddesses, from Kim Hye-soo, Jun Ji-hyun, Ha Ji-won to Yoon Eun-hye, Park Shin-hye and others also attended.Even Jeon Do-yeon, who is known as the "No.1 Chungmuro ​​Actress", also came to congratulate her in person.

Standing under the mercury lamp with senior superstars, although they have had contact with each other before, Xu Zhiyuan still couldn't help feeling: "Senior, do you know how much I envied you when I first debuted, I have always regarded you as my goal It’s just been fighting till now.”

Jeon Do-yeon laughed, and pinched her face affectionately, "It's no longer necessary, Zhiyuan, new goals will make you go further..."

Yes, her new purpose will take her even further.

Xu Zhiyuan smiled slightly, and turned to meet the guests who came, that was Bong Joon-ho who was supporting Lim Kwon-taek, Park Chan-wook, Yoon Je-kyun, Cui Dongxun and others.

Those are all the directors she has worked with, they are her good friends and mentors.

This night, the office building on Chungmuro ​​Road was brightly lit until very late, very late, and the laughter spread far and far.

Many years later, someone still refers to this night with exaggerated tone:

"It was a grand event in the entertainment industry that was even more lively than the Blue Dragon Awards ceremony—it's a pity that you didn't see it with your own eyes. That night—it was really a grand event..."
