Chapter 297 It’s better to let him take the blame
What kind of announcement could shock Xiaopang, who has developed a super strong heart in recent years?
Yien glanced at him, but after hearing Xiaopang's low voice, she stopped what she was doing.
Quan Zhilong was also stunned. He put his hand on Ye Eun's head and rubbed it soothingly. He frowned and looked at Xiao Pang: "Are you looking for 2NE1 or Ye Eun alone?"
"It's Ye-eun." Xiaopang's eyes were full of excitement. Although he didn't know why the PD of the opening ceremony of the Incheon Asian Games would choose Ye-eun, he guessed that it was because Ye-eun had studied ballet that made the officials think of her. "They said that they wanted Ye-eun to perform ballet at the opening ceremony of the Asian Games..."
The artist was suddenly changed only three months before the opening ceremony. I heard that it was because the originally designated actor was banned by the top leader after speaking on behalf of the families of the victims in the Sewol incident.
The agent was very happy, but Ye-eun thought it was outrageous. She frowned silently, and became even more confused when she heard that Kang Soo-jin, the number one ballet dancer in Korea, was asked to perform ballet as a flag bearer.
For a country that invites so many artists from the entertainment industry to perform at the Asian Games, this invitation is indeed an extremely good announcement for Koreans. However, Ye-eun is not Korean!
Even though China and South Korea have had good relations in recent years, given the xenophobic nature of South Koreans, how could they allow a Chinese person to represent South Korea at the opening ceremony of the Incheon Asian Games?
So does she represent China or South Korea? After all, sports without borders is just everyone's good wish.
Especially in this country where entertainment has become politicized and politics has become entertainment, it is best not to touch these things if possible.
Although she didn't understand why they came to her, Yi En's recent vigilance still made her shake her head: "Little Fatty, you haven't answered yet, right?"
Xiaopang's excited expression calmed down a bit, "No."
Without Yien's consent, how could he dare to sign her personal resource notice on his own?
Yien nodded: "That's good, brother, think about how to decline."
What a great announcement! Yien actually wanted to refuse. And how could he refuse? Xiaopang looked at her awkwardly. Even though the current top leader was being impeached, there had never been any leader impeached since the founding of South Korea...
What's more, this leader is so petty. Although there has been no news outside for several months regarding the Sewol incident, people in the industry have heard that she has soft-banned many artists who represented the families of the victims, and the list even includes actors and actresses of the highest caliber such as Song Kang-ho and Kim Hye-soo.
Is it good or bad to refuse such an invitation?
"GD..." Xiaopang was just about to ask Quan Zhilong to persuade Yi Eun, but unexpectedly Quan Zhilong glanced at him casually and decisively stood on Yi Eun's side.
"2NE1 is still on the World Tour. We are honored by the official invitation, but Ye-eun is not a professional ballet dancer after all. Even though we know that the official invited Ye-eun to show the vision of Asia's unity, there must be excellent ballet dancers on such a big stage as the Asian Games who can better show the good image of our Korea."
"And isn't Ye Eun going to Japan for a concert in a few days?" Kwon Ji-yong said this with a smile, and Xiaopang fell silent.
He sighed. GD even found a reason for him in just two minutes. It seemed that he didn't want Ye Eun to accept this notice.
The top executives of other companies are trying their best to win over various factions, but YG, after a major reshuffle of its top management, avoids every such activity.
Xiaopang went to contact the relevant person in charge with regret on his face. Quan Zhilong glanced at his back, then lowered his head to help Yien wipe her hair again as if nothing had happened.
The two of them tacitly agreed not to mention the matter anymore, but the relaxed atmosphere just now changed slightly.
Ye-eun thought about it, took out her phone and sent a message to reporter Quan Yingde from D agency, smiling and saying casually: "I heard that many reporters interviewed Director Lim Kwon-taek. Didn't he leak some information about the Holy Flame a few days ago?"
Since they even know how to light the Olympic flame, the press conference should also know something about how the ballet program is performed, right?
Quan Zhilong glanced at her texting movements and curled his lips. He found that after she sent a message to the reporter from D agency, she also sent messages to several familiar reporters. He couldn't help but smile.
Wuli Yien's network of contacts in the media is so amazing that he admires her.
While they were puzzled by the sudden announcement of the Incheon Asian Games, the Sewol incident not only did not die down after two months, but became more and more serious due to the official hidden surveillance and other actions.
As the impeachment process progressed, the struggle between the two parties became increasingly apparent. Something that made everyone feel sad suddenly became a handle for the two parties to attack each other.
I don't know where the artists who spoke up for the victims online started to use the unplugged version of "e Back Home" sung by 2NE1 specifically for the victims on "Yoo Hee-yeol's Sketchbook" as the background music. The word spread one by one, and in just a few days, the song became the background music exclusively for this incident.
"e Back Home", which had already all killed when it came back and won multiple first places during the promotion period, once again reached the first place after a few months.
Just when Xiaopang was finding various reasons to decline the notice with director Lim Kwon-taek, Kwon Young-deok also gave Ye-eun a reply.
This time, the ballet used the dancers' toes to show the changes in ancient Asia in the form of Korean ink painting. 2NE1 is the first batch of artists in South Korea to use real-time ground capture technology on stage, and the director thought of Ye-eun due to various coincidences.
——Korean ink painting. Yien held her forehead helplessly. If she accepted this notice, she would really become Zhu Bajie looking in the mirror - neither a human nor a human.
She was originally boycotted by some Koreans due to cultural controversy when she debuted, and even now many of her black fans have been blackening her for so many years because of this incident. If she accepts this notice this time, she will really be handing the handle to others again.
Kwon Ji-yong also took a breath. The cultural dispute between China and South Korea has intensified in recent years. If a Chinese artist like Ye-eun performed ink painting with ballet at the opening ceremony of the Incheon Asian Games representing South Korea, and someone guided public opinion, Ye-eun would inevitably become a hot topic in both China and South Korea.
Regardless of whether it is a coincidence or not, this notice must be rejected. Even Xiaopang made a decision in his heart immediately after hearing the news. Even if it would offend the top leader who was still in power, he would refuse.
Ye-eun had already started to call Lee Won-mi with her phone to get some information. "Ouni, when are you in a better mood to have dinner together?"
The other party had recently entered the final stage of the battle and it took a long time for him to reply to her message.
Ye-eun heaved a sigh of relief when she got the other party's reply that "there will be time for dinner together by December at the latest."
Only by winning the battle can you have time and be in a good mood to have dinner and play with friends.
Be careful and work until December, Ye-eun thought.
However, in July, Bom swore at a guest on "Roommate" because he almost crashed his car into a guardrail due to fatigue driving. Even though the program crew silenced the incident, some netizens still began to criticize him.
How can a female idol say foul language! ?
When netizens started discussing this matter online, everyone at YG was in disbelief.
Isn’t our YG style obvious?
Ye-eun looked at the Korean "21+" celebrity next to her, and Kwon Ji-yong blinked innocently. Is it abnormal for a rapper to write swear words in his own songs?
Even CL laughed speechlessly. Mo, even her solo songs are full of swear words, right? Even the title of the solo single she is preparing now is directly named after a swear word.
Is it because Bom looks cute and it’s on a variety show that people will exaggerate the artist’s behavior? No one took this matter seriously at all. After all, only half of this year had passed, and some netizens had already jokingly called this year the year of twilight of the gods in the Korean entertainment industry.
Girls' Generation's member changes, multiple members' romances revealed; EXO members quit the group; Lee Byung-hun's coercion incident; LC member's death...
Almost all of them were major events that caused a great stir in the Korean entertainment industry. Compared to those news, Bom's swearing was simply insignificant.
The accumulation of small things has made everyone start to doubt. Is it really like what domestic netizens say, that this year is a year of Mercury retrograde in South Korea?
Xiaopang also felt that Mercury was in retrograde. Knowing that he absolutely could not accept the notice to perform at the Asian Games, he naturally rejected the notice as requested by Ye-eun.
Even if the artist refused, the director couldn’t force the artist to go on stage.
However, they thought that they could avoid this cultural controversy by refusing, but somehow "insiders" started leaking the news online.
[Li Yien declined the invitation to the Asian Games opening ceremony due to the origin of ink painting. ]
[Chinese ink painting? Korean ink painting? Controversy over Chinese and Korean culture resurfaces. ]
[Ink painting is originally an Asian culture and needs to be promoted by both countries. ]
Xiaopang looked at the increasing number of comments online with shaking hands, his eyes full of shock. It seemed that because more and more people liked Ye-eun over the years, the backlash was so quick after the news came out this time.
Clearly, he and the director did not mention ink painting at all when they declined the invitation. They just said that Ye-eun's schedule was too busy and she had not practiced ballet for a long time, so she was not sure she could perform on such a big stage in three months.
But what is this news? ?
When Yien saw the news, she actually felt relieved. It was coming, and it was coming for her.
Even though she has refused, the other party is still the government that controls a large amount of official media.
Instead of keeping her worried until the end of the year, it is better to just reveal the trick directly. Ye-eun propped her chin up and casually read the news on her phone.
Seeing her like this, Quan Zhilong frowned.
As a Korean, he has always believed that music like his "Niliria" which even samples traditional Korean folk songs is the one that promotes Korea's traditional culture. However, this is the ecology of Korea in recent years.
Music is moving towards Europe and America, culture...
He held his forehead and sighed, feeling a little distressed when he looked at Yien. It would be better for him to take the blame. It’s not the first time anyway.
They are of Chinese nationality and ethnic Korean, and when they debuted they caused controversy due to cultural controversies. It turns out that the people above know what topics can cause heated discussions.
Yien was quite optimistic. She smiled with the corners of her mouth curled up, "Oh my, Zhilong, I actually got to enjoy your treatment for once?"
