Chapter 378 Creation
The fact was just as he thought. Half a month passed and Zheng Xiuheng really had no contact with Hook again. Even his listeners became curious.
"Yeah, the road show is tomorrow, is that guy still in there?"
Lee Hyori looked at the small room opposite and asked with some confusion.
Liu Xilie shrugged his shoulders and replied helplessly: "Fortunately, I have more time to relax these days. Although it is gratifying to see him working so hard, he is a little too persistent. How about you go in and take a look?"
Lee Hyori hurriedly shook her head. She had entered once a few days ago, and then... she was punished by Zheng Xiuheng.
When she thought of that, Lee Hyori's face turned red. This guy is really a lunatic.
“Crack!”
The door suddenly opened, and Zheng Xiuheng, wearing a black shirt and with slightly messy hair, walked out.
"What are you doing here? Recording a song?"
"We're recording you, you idiot! We're afraid you'll die in there. The studio has almost become a restricted area. We can hear the crackling noises in there every day. What on earth are you writing that takes so long?"
"Why are you pulling my ears?"
Zheng Xiuheng asked somewhat helplessly. There was nothing he could do about this sister's direct attack. Normally when they were outside, Zheng Xiuheng still gave her face.
But it's funny, usually girls give face to boys outside, but it might be different when they get home. But it's like that with Zheng Xiuheng and Lee Hyori. Zheng Xiuheng gives face to Lee Hyori outside, but in private... it's different.
"Ahem, I'm getting old and really can't do it anymore. I'm going to the bathroom first!"
Yoo Hee-yeol decisively left the production studio, leaving only Lee Hyo-ri and Jung Soo-heng.
Grabbing Lee Hyori's arm and pulling her into his arms, Zheng Xiuheng pinched her cheek and said with a smile: "Isn't it good to be a little more involved when creating? Besides, I don't stay in it 24 hours a day!"
Although their relationship has been sublimated, Lee Hyori is still not used to Zheng Xiuheng's behavior of treating her as a little woman, so she blushed a little.
"So what are you working on? It's been half a month."
Zheng Xiuheng thought for a moment and replied, "It's a bit complicated to explain. It's probably because I'm currently developing a game that will have a sequel story. I've given it some images of my parents. I want to write a song for them, too!"
"Ah, so... Then, what happened?" Lee Hyo-ri calmed down, and although she was not very willing, she still hugged Zheng Xiuheng's neck and asked in a low voice. This expression of wanting to comfort him made Zheng Xiuheng smile.
"It's okay. At the beginning, I had too many ideas and too many conflicts. I wanted to write something gentle and lyrical, but then it turned into something sad. In short, I thought a lot, and it wasn't until I read the drawings of the youngest writer in our group that I had an idea!"
"What's it like?" Lee Hyo-ri asked curiously. She didn't care that Zheng Xiuheng carried her to the sofa and sat down, but instead put her arms around his neck.
In fact, Zheng Xiuheng is not as exaggerated as Lee Hyori and Yoo Hee-yeol said. Although he has been staying in his own small studio most of the time during this period, he also did other work.
For example, I discussed the follow-up development with Choi Min-hee. Because the game mode will no longer use the "Power Band" method, new ideas are needed. At the same time, this also means that if there is follow-up development, it will not be the current loose studio model.
The second thing was to discuss the plot with Kang So-ra, and to determine the development method of the model company with Lee Jae-won. It was definitely impossible to run a magazine now , and Zheng Xiuheng's suggestion was to poach people, madly poach people. By the way, send the bunch of freeloaders from Hengshou Credit to various universities, beauty salons, gyms, etc. in Korea. Their job was naturally to be temporary scouts.
Under Zheng Xiuheng's coercion, his yellow and gray hair was shaved into a black crew cut, and his stubble was also shaved off.
Zheng Xiuheng's decision was to spread the seeds widely and cultivate the best. Of course, he did not bring back just the ones who were a little bit pretty, but chose the best, most suitable and most promising ones, like Heo Yunmi. During this period, Li Zaiyuan arranged a lot of photo shoots for Li Yunmi according to Zheng Xiuheng's instructions. This girl, who had just debuted in the modeling industry not long ago, has become a rising star in this circle, and everything is going well.
If we have to say where there is any stagnation, it is Hengshou Credit. Although the company's burden reduction effect is obvious, the company's funds are only more than 200 million yuan. No matter how much it lends, it is only that much money in a month.
Of course, the 200 million from Jeon Hyo-sung was delayed, and the remaining is the 350 million from the PDs of the two TV stations in November. If all these are recovered, the business can still be carried out normally, but it is estimated that it is a situation where there is no loss or profit.
Fortunately, Zheng Xiuheng didn't care, because Hengshou Credit's ability to collect intelligence became more and more sophisticated, and he also got to know many marginal figures in the entertainment industry, all of whom were very ordinary crew members or TV station staff. Of course, these were all relationships established through the publicity company's small short-term loans. Although they were not solid, there were always some people who could blend in, and then find out some gossip, such as some recent filming plans, and even if they were a little ruthless, it was not impossible to get some candid photos.
Although they are not very useful now and these people don't seem to have much power, Zheng Xiuheng sees it very clearly at this moment. Just like when Lee Hyori's MV was filmed, Zheng Xiuheng thought that if he had the money to acquire Qiu Changmin's film studio, it would be a good choice. A studio like this would not be too expensive, but the actual utility of the company is very high. For Zheng Xiuheng who wants to develop all-entertainment, it is indeed necessary.
But the reality is still the same, no money...
In addition, Zheng Xiuheng has not been to Hengshou Credit anymore. It is not because Zheng Xiuheng wants to maintain his purity, but because since 2004, many loan sharking companies have appeared in South Korea. In recent years, these companies have also blatantly advertised. Not only have they become bigger and bigger, but they have also invited famous actors and singers.
Among them, Choi Min-soo, actress Kim Mi-ryeo and others have served as advertising spokespersons for these companies. After these advertisements were broadcast, the audience reacted strongly and expressed anger at the behavior of these stars. To a certain extent, the image of Choi Min-soo and other artists in the minds of the audience began to be greatly reduced.
Although Zheng Xiuheng doesn't care much and doesn't consider himself a star, he doesn't want to get into trouble as he is currently in the limelight. After all, he has other careers under his belt.
In general, Zheng Xiuheng had a very fulfilling time during this period, and it was a very, very fulfilling time.
Of course, there are some headaches, such as Lee Yoo Mi, a persistent woman who threatens to come to the company to find her.
The lawsuit of the mother of the third daughter also ended a few days ago. After a little resistance, the man gave up the custody of his daughter. In this way, the woman obtained custody, which also means that she has to raise three children alone.
However, Zheng Xiuheng also kept his promise and arranged a new job for the woman. This was also Lee Hyori's suggestion, so the woman named Kim Mi-ryeo became Lee Hyori's assistant and will serve as her agent in the future. Lee Hyori's current agent is from DSP. Although he is young, he is experienced. Zheng Xiuheng has decided to let him train newcomers in the future.
Although both the other party and Lee Hyori were very dissatisfied at the time, Zheng Xiuheng said directly that if they were not satisfied, they could leave, and in the end there was nothing more to say.
This is the reality. The improvement of one person is always accompanied by the decline of another. The difference between Lee Hyori's agent and the agent of an ordinary newcomer is like the difference between heaven and earth. There is nothing to compare.
Lee Hyori was actually very opposed to it, and at that time the two had not yet confirmed their relationship, but Jung Soo-heng was unexpectedly strong, leaving her helpless. The two even had a cold war for a few days. But now, with the addition of Kim Mi-ri, who is taking care of three daughters, Lee Hyori has accepted it.
But these are all minor matters. Apart from these, Zheng Xiuheng really devoted himself to the creation. Zheng Xiuheng was indeed distressed at the beginning, until he got the character design drawn by Han Zhiyuan, which made him change his mind.
The remembrance of deceased loved ones does not necessarily have to be life-or-death, nor does it have to be filled with sadness and memories everywhere.
Zheng Xiuheng made the decision with multiple purposes in mind from the beginning. There was not much deeper meaning. He just wanted to do it. Isn't it meaningful for some special people to appear in a fantasy world?
When Zheng Xiuheng got the character design, he saw a man wearing black Hanfu with a white brim, with a slender and strong figure, and a Peking Opera mask on his face, exuding a weird and slightly "kingly temperament" image. It has to be said that Han Zhiyuan's painting skills are indeed good, and the rendering is also very good, so there is the so-called temperament.
The second was a woman in a slim white Korean dress with black edges. She looked exactly like the one in the photo, except that she was wearing this ancient costume and appeared on the drawing paper again. Zheng Xiuheng suddenly thought... all this was just my fantasy.
In Zheng Xiuheng's opinion, this man and woman are a couple, and they are also the rulers of the plane that Deemo came to. Of course, this is a demon plane that is obsessed with music.
This couple has a child who hopes to become an angel. This child will be the protagonist of the subsequent stories. Of course, Deemo will still be in it, but in the end he will be defined as the captor.
Since he had , Zheng Xiuheng also decided to create in a new way. This was a gift to them and also to himself. During this period, he also discussed it with Jiang Su-ra. Finally, after countless experiments, he gradually achieved results.
"It's very special, a bit like... a war song. Of course, it's not finished yet, but it's all a matter of time!"
Zheng Xiuheng had a smile on his face. Seeing that he was indeed fine, Lee Hyo-ri knocked away the guy's big hand on her chest and scolded, "If you are fine, let go. We have a road show tomorrow. I see Xilie Oppa and the others have been practicing cooperation these days, but you didn't practice with them. What if something goes wrong tomorrow? This is the first performance before Sister's comeback!"
