Chapter 321 If you do this, I will be in trouble (Please subscribe and give me a monthly ticket!!!)
"This is the first time I've heard about first love from you. From the look of you, you don't seem to hate it that much, do you?"

Gao Xixie was interested and asked, "How about that?"

As he was saying this, he looked at Li Yang's serious expression, smiled awkwardly and changed the subject.

"You didn't even go to the press conference this afternoon. What's going on?"

Gao Xixie asked curiously, "The premiere crisis has passed, and those netizens and passers-by who like to stir up trouble can no longer affect the basic audience. I didn't expect that you, a great screenwriter, would still miss the press conference."

"Because the internet is too chaotic, the hot searches are all about news from major entertainment companies. It's okay to occupy a position normally, but if you try to attract attention now, you'll be stealing jobs from major entertainment companies."

Li Yang laughed and said, "If those people get anxious, they will fight to the death."

"Isn't it bad to have a high temperature?"

Gao Xixie was a little unconvinced and said, "Besides, you have Kakao's support now, who can touch you?"

Then, he said puzzledly: "To be honest, sometimes I really don't understand your thoughts."

"There are so many people who can touch me. The only difference is whether the benefits are enough."

Li Yang smiled, and said with some emotion: "Just like a good friend once told me, everything should be done in moderation, too much is as bad as too little. In fact, this is how I have survived until now."

"Who doesn't want to take revenge? Like the male protagonists in those cool novels, they just kill the person they don't like. Writing songs and composing music is like drinking cold water."

Li Yang paused and said, "But life is life after all. Especially from a work perspective, it's best not to be affected by emotions."

"Is this why you said you resisted falling in love?"

Gao Xixie curiously asked: "But to be honest, facing so many beauties, you are really patient. If it were me, I would have lost my virginity a long time ago."

“In fact, choice is nothing more than demand.”

Li Yang smiled and said, "I am short of money. I want money very much. My desire for money is greater than anything else. Since you are from a wealthy family, you naturally have more sexual desires. This is all normal."

"I just don't believe that money can really be greater than desire, especially since you have a good income now."

Gao Xixie was a little unconvinced and said, "The fact that you can hold back just means you don't love him/her enough. There will always be a day when the person you truly love will appear."

"she"

Li Yang opened his mouth, intending to say that he had met true love, but when the words came to his lips, he smiled and said, "Maybe."

"Let's talk business."

Gao Xixie became serious and said, "The official staff of SBS contacted the crew today and said that they were very satisfied with the premiere. They promised that the next 40 episodes would be qualified even if the number of views was a few million less."

"That's great, it's worth a drink." Li Yang raised his glass with a smile.

"besides."

"What else?"

Li Yang looked puzzled. The crew should only be facing SBS-related issues now, right?
"Are you really not going to go check on Zhao Meiyan?"

Gao Xixie said cautiously: "Today (G)idle is coming back to promote their music!"

Li Yang was slightly stunned while holding the wine glass, then he looked over with a half-smile and said, "I can't tell, you are still a CP fan?"

"I'm not a CP fan. Mainly because when I was filming the first season, I thought this girl was pretty good. She has a simple and honest personality and is quite sincere. There aren't many sincere girls these days."

Gao Xixie said, looking at Li Yang who had no reaction, and continued: "And this comeback is very important to their group, but the popularity is pitifully low now. If something goes wrong, they will really disband."

"Probably not."

Li Yang responded: "I've listened to their song, it's great. Even a passerby like me who rarely listens to music thinks it's great. It shouldn't be a problem for them to turn things around, right?"

"It's a big problem."

Gao Xixie explained: "Idols are different from singers. Popularity affects everything. Otherwise, those companies would not try their best to create scandals, promote and challenge popularity before each group's comeback."

Then, looking at Li Yang who was still somewhat puzzled, he continued: "Also, (G)idle's image is quite special. It's not good to have been associated with 80's reputation. If he can't turn the tables this time, it will be completely shattered."

"Is it really that outrageous?"

Li Yang was silent for a moment, then quickly said nonchalantly: "Then what does success look like?"

“That’s quite a lot.”

Gao Xixie pointed at the KBS Music Center stage playing on TV and said, "For example, winning more places on this kind of stage, or having explosive popularity, or having album sales break a million records, etc."

Just as he was speaking, someone at the next table couldn't help but come over.

"Is this Brother Yang? I'm your fan. Can I take a picture?"

Immediately afterwards, several people around stood up and came over. "Of course."

Li Yang smiled and nodded. After taking pictures of about seven or eight people, he sat back down.

"I have to say, your popularity is really terrifying. You can meet fans in any small bar?" Gao Xixie said with some envy.

Li Yang smiled and ignored him, instead asking, "By the way, what do you mean by challenge?"

"You said challenge?"

Gao Xixie explained: "It is to find famous artists with high traffic and simply imitate the dance of the song. In fact, to put it bluntly, it is also a way to increase exposure."

After saying that, he didn't care, but looked at the TV with some anticipation and said, "Look, Miyeon and her group's music performance is here."

Li Yang also watched with interest, and found it interesting to see the people appearing on the TV.

Several of them were wearing black leather jackets, trendy punk style. He had seen this kind of clothes before at the MV shooting site, and the makeup was more delicate and beautiful.

As the dynamic melody sounded, Minnie's deep and magnetic voice rang out, as if with a hint of bewitchment. The originally noisy pub became quiet for the first time, and everyone seemed to be listening patiently.

Soon after, Yuqi's words "f**king tomboy" ignited the atmosphere, and the pub suddenly became lively with the brainwashing music.

"See, I told you there's no need to worry about their strength, right?" Li Yang said with a smile.

"Believe it or not, I think there is a high probability that they won't get the first place this time?" Gao Xixie was obviously not optimistic.

"Would you like to bet on a glass of wine?" Li Yang suggested.

"How about I bet you write the next script and I'll be the director?" Gao Xixie said confidently.

"received."

Li Yang said as he lit a cigarette. The two chatted for a while, and finally the final settlement screen of Music Bank appeared on TV.

(G)idle failed to get the first place, and it was taken by the returning boy band next to them.

The scores below can be considered a complete failure except for the sound source.

Soon, Gao Xixie's voice sounded beside him, "So, I said I definitely couldn't get it, right?"

"I lost."

Li Yang admitted it generously, chuckled and said, "The next book is yours."

"Is it so peaceful?"

Gao Xixie rubbed his chin and stared at Li Yang, suspiciously asking, "Shouldn't it be?"

"Then what should I do?"

Li Yang didn't know whether to laugh or cry, and said, "Don't even think about it. I can't help you in any way."

"Then it seems that you really don't have any feelings for Zhao Meiyan."

Gao Xixie said to himself: "I thought you should be sad for a while."

"Ah, you're already a big director, but you're still saying such useless things."

Li Yang laughed and cursed, quickly put down his glass and said, "I'm going to the toilet."

It was six o'clock in the afternoon and the sky was not yet dark. The flaming red sun dyed half of the clouds red.

Inside the ginkgo forest in the park.

"Challenge?"

Li Zhien, who was wearing a simple gray long sweater, smiled playfully and said, "I haven't even inspected the product yet, and I've only paid for it. Isn't that a bit of a loss?"

Li Yang's voice was heard on the other side of the phone.

"Don't be upset. You were the one who was making trouble last time. You owe me something. Now if you agree this time, we're even."

"Ah, didn't anyone tell you not to settle accounts too clearly with women?" Lee Ji-eun scolded with a smile.

"Then I'll take that as your agreement. There are fans coming over here. I'll hang up first." Li Yang seemed a little anxious as he hung up the phone.

"Really are"

Li Zhien smiled and shook her head, seeming helpless. When she turned around, she found a figure appeared behind her at some point.

She ruffled her slightly curly chestnut-colored wavy hair, her beautiful eyes shining as she looked at Li Zhien as if she had a headache, and said, "You are making it very difficult for me, your dear friend, to do this."
