Why Wu Xiuyan can explain that Li Menglong knows so many actresses, just a complete introduction to the script she wrote is enough:

2000 TV series "Wedding Dress", starring: Kim Hee Sun.

The 2000 TV series "Blue Life and Death", starring: Song Hye Kyo, minor heroine: Moon Geun Young.

Starring in the 2001 TV series "Four Doctor Sisters": Cai Lin.

2002 TV series "Winter Sonata" starring: Choi Ji Woo.

Even if many people don't watch Korean dramas, just looking at the heroines of these four consecutive dramas, you can know how buggy Oh Soo-yeon was at that time. This is no longer a question of who is popular, but as long as she is filmed Through TV dramas, you can go straight from an ordinary star to a top K-pop artist.

Different people have different so-called hallyu export symbols in their hearts. For example, many fans feel that hot opened their understanding of Korea, while some say it was love letters and xman that made them feel the charm of hallyu.

However, at least a large part of people's first memory of South Korea comes from Blue Life and Death Love, which is simply a supreme compliment for a TV series.

As for Wu Xiuyan, who was such a popular writer at the time, it took until 2008 for her next work to be published, and it was also sold out. What happened? The root of the answer to this question lies here, or to be clear, it lies in Li Menglong.

"You mean these four dramas were all filmed by Lee Mong-ryong?" Kim Taeyeon is really crazy. She also followed these dramas back then, but it doesn't look like they were written by Lee Mong-ryong.

"How should I put it? Although my brother did not specifically sign the project, it was indeed from the conception of the project. The script, funding, coordination, recruitment of actors and even the output of the later stage of the TV series were all handled by my brother!" said Li Zhien. There were little stars in her eyes until now, which was why she was heartbroken when she learned that Li Menglong was an assistant. Her brother was once such a great person.

Through Li Zhien's intermittent narration, and some of Li Menglong's own brainstorming, things can be roughly restored, and another piece of his memory has been supplemented.

The thing is probably that after he left Kim Jong Kook alone in 1999, he almost had no friends. Apart from the money he saved during the group, he didn't even know what to do.

By chance, I met Wu Xiuyan, a street writer. At that time, she was just in her early thirties, and she was considered young among writers. The specific plot was completely unclear to Li Menglong, and neither was Li Zhien.

But when you think about it, it is nothing more than seeing a woman sad and in pain, and then Li Menglong stepped forward to comfort her. After seeing the script, she was shocked: "Let's film it!"

In short, a grassroots team was established like this, but at that time Li Menglong had a hidden agenda, hid the best script, and used the newly saved script to attract investment, so the first step of the wedding dress with mediocre response appeared.

After accumulating a lot of experience and related relationships, Li Menglong decisively spent all his net worth on the second TV series. Of course, it only served as a leverage, and he didn't even want South Korea's dividends. At the age of 21, Li Menglong used his outstanding vision to obtain the biggest pot of gold in his life.

He blocked all the overseas sales rights of Blue Life and Death Love in his own hands. No one paid attention to this aspect back then. No one knew exactly how much money they made. After all, their company did not have to explain this to the public.

But Li Zhien's most intuitive understanding at the time was that there were a lot of Korean beef in their refrigerator, and her pocket money began to skyrocket to the point where she was afraid to take it.

The next two dramas were even more logical, and Winter Sonata was another peak. Li Menglong, with his team and the female stars he worked with, began to gradually invade the core area of ​​​​this circle.

Then Li Zhien didn't know why the company was disbanded for no reason. She was too young at that time, and Li Menglong would not tell her this at all.

But Li Menglong could guess one thing, it was nothing more than greed! He already has the funds to independently produce TV series, and he already has the stars, scripts and filming connections, so the next step is naturally to focus on distribution, that is, one-stop production and sales!

Even if it is not in South Korea, in any country with huge profits in any industry, a newcomer cannot just come in if he wants to. This is not a question of ability, but a question of the background.

It was obvious that Li Menglong had no backstage, so the matter ended there. Li Menglong enlisted in the army, Wu Xiuyan was blocked invisibly, and several of the company's co-artists seemed pretty good, but that was probably because they were not involved too much.

He licked the corner of his mouth bitterly. Although he didn't feel anything about this story, and although he couldn't remember it at all even now, he was still aggrieved. Thinking about a young man who was preparing to show his talents in the industry at the age of 25 and was brought down by some shady means, I believe that Li Menglong must have wanted to kill these people in his heart at that time.

Feeling the warm touch in his hand, he looked at Li Shungui's concerned eyes and forced a smile: "It's okay, I don't remember it anyway!"

"But aren't you going to open a company? Brother, I still have some money here, let's go and start a company together!" Li Zhien said hopefully. She still had some things about herself and the company that she didn't say. But her desire was real.

"Do you also want to open a company?" Li Menglong looked at Li Zhien and Li Shunkyu. The two people had similar requirements. It can be seen that the past company also meant a lot to Li Zhien.

"We have opened a company together now, singing!" Li Shunkyu motioned to Li Zhien to wait a moment, and she immediately turned her head and looked directly at Li Menglong: "I feel that you should also open the previous company, at least give it to Zhien and Someone from the past will tell you!”

"What should I tell you? I don't remember anything. I don't even know what that company is going to do? How will it work? Can I find another script for Blue Life and Death?" Li Menglong rarely said it. own voice.

"But they remember! We will also remember!" Li Soonkyu knew that she had to make up her mind for Li Menglong: "It's like my SW, not just for my memories, but for my dad and my sister!"


Li Menglong smiled and turned his head away, but Xu Xian was looking at him over there: "I want to invest together, oppp! It just so happens that the money I earned recently has not been given to my mother."

"Please don't cause trouble. I understand what you are saying, but is this company really that important? Does anyone else besides Zhien remember it? Are the female celebrities you mentioned still in contact with you?" Li Menglong A series of questions really left Li Zhien unable to answer, because it seemed that in the first few years, everyone was trying desperately to distance themselves from this company that was blocked by the industry.

However, Li Ji-eun is no longer the weak little girl who relied on Li Menglong to survive. She is now the most popular solo singer in South Korea and the first sister of LOEN Entertainment, and this seemingly tepid small company is actually South Korea's most popular solo singer. A subsidiary of the largest telecommunications company, Li Ji-eun's share is considered the best in South Korea, because the company is not short of money.

So now Lee Ji-eun has the funds and ability to do something she likes, and now her most radical idea is to set up the company of her dreams, especially after hearing that he and Lee Soon-kyu also started it together. company.

Among them, repaying Li Menglong was only the smallest aspect. What she wanted more was to find a common memory with Li Menglong. Even if she has forgotten the past, there will still be a future. What Li Zhien promised Li Shunkyu just now is not to give up. She will never give up on this man who gives him the warmth of home.

So Li Ji-en put away her pleading expression and said seriously: "What if other people want to do it too? You know that at the beginning, the company didn't just have these few artists, we also had Soo-yeon, Unnie, and many other OPPA and Ernie, what if they want to join you too?”

Although Li Menglong did not give an answer to this question in the end, everyone knew in their hearts that Li Zhien would never give up, and Li Menglong could only passively wait for that day to come.

The atmosphere at the rest of the meal was much better as everyone deliberately kept the conversation going. Lee Soon Kyu and Lee Ji Eun exchanged interesting stories about Lee Mong Yong, and Kim Taeyeon would also chime in.

As for Li Menglong himself, he has never been the kind of person to ruin the atmosphere. What's more, he always puts things on the back burner that he can't solve or can only wait for. It's not his style to worry about things that he doesn't know when they will come.

He rummaged through his left pocket first, then his right pocket, and finally took out his wallet. The cash was definitely not enough, but it seemed that Li Menglong kept several cards with a lot of money at home to prevent them from being lost.

"That Zhi En, I heard that you have become very popular recently. You have made a lot of money from one album, right? I used to treat you to dinner when we lived together..." After saying a lot in one breath, Li Menglong saw that the other party had not yet responded. Come over, so I can only say directly: "Would you like to treat me to a meal?"

"Shame!" "What a shame!" "What a shame!" For a moment, the three girls from Girls' Generation wanted to cover their faces and pretend not to know Li Menglong.

If you don’t bring any money, tell us. I’m not rushing to pay the bill just to give you a chance to show off. It’s like we, Girls’ Generation, collectively treated you badly, and the hearts of several girls are about to collapse.

However, they obviously underestimated Li Menglong's emotional intelligence. It was true that he didn't bring any money. There were better methods, but Li Menglong thought this method was the most suitable. As expected, Li Zhien was surprised at first, and then his whole person glowed with a different brilliance.

Regardless of gender, age or even status, it was absolutely not Li Zhien's turn to spend money on this meal, not to mention Li Menglong's somewhat bizarre direct request. To be serious, he was not a man at all.

But, since he did this, what does it mean? Of course, I told Li Zhien that you are my biological sister. Only when you are with your family can you shamelessly ask for a treat directly.

Although Li Menglong doesn't remember her, at least he can see that Li Menglong is willing to get to know her again, starting with asking his sister to pay the bills!
