Baby Vox Rev literally means Baby Vox 2nd Generation, because DR muisc launched the first generation girl group Baby Vox in 1997. The members of Korean girl groups often change, and Yoon Eun Hye is also a member of Baby Vox. She joined the group during the third album of Baby Vox.
Baby Vox’s debut album was “The Day I Got My Hair Done”, and Song Yi inexplicably felt that Li Xiaolu might have had the dream of being in a girl group after listening to this song.
Although Baby Vox is not as successful as SES and Fin.KL in the Korean market, they have tried to open up the Chinese market very early. After the success of their second album "YA YA YA" and third album "Baby Vox 3rd", Baby Vox decided to shoot their fourth album in the beautiful Guilin.
The five members of Baby Vox, Kim Saiji, Lee Heejin, Kan Miyeon, Sim Eunjin and Yoon Eunhye, are extremely popular in many countries including China, Japan and Thailand because of their ever-changing styles and friendly image. If you go to a hair salon to get a haircut, you will often see the Baby Vox group on the posters.
Because the hot girl group Baby Vox disbanded in 2005, DR music company obviously did not want to give up the Baby Vox brand, so it launched Baby Vox Rev. The reason why Song Yi paid so much attention to the Baby Vox Rev group is that this group happened to be the first girl group to debut in 2007, and this year is also the first year of the second generation of girl groups. Kara under SA Music, Girls' Generation under SM Entertainment, and Wonder Girls under JYP Entertainment all debuted in this year. There were as many as eight girl groups that debuted in the same year.
Wonder Girls, Girls' Generation, 2NE1, Kara, f(x) and Tara, these girl groups with their own unique styles constitute the heyday of the second generation of girl groups.
Jun Ji-hyun found Song Yi checking the member information of Baby Vox Rev. She didn't quite understand. She hugged Song Yi from behind and said, "Oppa, you are already the richest man in Asia. Do you still have time to care about these little girl groups? What's the point of looking at these little girls? They are not as pretty as me, their figures are not as good as mine, and they are not as considerate as me."
Song Yi knows that Jun Ji-hyun now has a sense of crisis. Jun Ji-hyun wants to rely on SA Pictures to successfully enter the Hollywood market. However, she has not received any important roles from Hollywood studios in the past two years. Instead, many film contracts in the Korean film market have been snatched away by Lee Young-ae, Shim Eun-ha, Moon Geun-young and others.
Jun Ji-hyun knew that Song Yi was warning her not to aim too high. Although Jun Ji-hyun was the youngest winner of the Grand Bell Awards in South Korea, in front of Hollywood movie moguls, Jun Ji-hyun's Grand Bell Awards was nothing.
After Jun Ji-hyun hit a wall several times in Hollywood, she returned to Seoul to please Song Yi. Although SA Media Group has been separated from SA Group, Choi Sun-hee is Jun Ji-hyun's boss, but Koreans know that Song Yi is the real owner of SA Media Group.
"I went to SM Entertainment this month and met BoA. BoA recommended the group Baby Vox Rev. Ahn Jin Kyung from the group is also her fan. She has worked with SM Entertainment's Cheon Sang Ji Hee before. She has very solid singing skills and is also a good dancer."
“DR muisc might as well come up with a new name for the group. They could name themselves Baby Vox Second Generation. Naturally, some fans would compare Baby Vox Second Generation with Baby Vox, which would then add a lot of anti-fans to the new group,” said Song Yi.
Jun Ji-hyun thought for a moment and said, "It's okay to be famous even if you are not famous. Korea can't accommodate so many idol groups. If you don't have some fame, you won't be able to gain a foothold in the fiercely competitive Korean entertainment industry."
Song Yi knew that what Jun Ji-hyun said was right. South Korea has a small land area and a population of only 50 million. It is impossible to support dozens of idol groups. The living environment of girl groups is particularly difficult. Large entertainment companies like SM Entertainment, JYP Entertainment, YG Entertainment or SA Music are okay. At least they can protect their artists well.
Some girl groups that debuted from small companies, such as Stellar. The group's debut song "Rocket Girl" is a song full of freshness, vitality and youthfulness. However, due to the small size of the company, there is no way to promote the girl group, and Stellar is jokingly called the poorest girl group.
Later, in order to change the image of the girl group, the agency let Stellar take a sexy route. The MV of the group's song "Puppet" was full of provocative meanings, which attracted countless criticisms and brought countless psychological pressures to the members.
"I know why BoA recommended the group Baby Vox Rev to me. The song 'Never say goodbye' has been included in the game soundtrack of 'Audition.' I hope 'Audition.com' can bring some exposure to this group," said Song Yi.
"Oppa, Baby Vox Rev is still an artist from another company, but I am an artist of our SA. There is not a single movie starring me in the film list announced by SA Pictures this year. If this continues, I'm afraid I will soon be forgotten by Korean movie fans." Jun Ji-hyun pouted and acted coquettishly towards Song Yi.
"Nonsense, didn't you have an action movie 'Daisy' released last year, in which you worked with Lee Jung-jae and Jung Woo-sung. Didn't you also get nominated for Best Actress at the Baeksang Arts Awards for this movie?" Song Yi disagreed.
"Last year is last year, and this year is this year. Apart from a few commercials this year, I don't have any film or TV drama contracts. You know my personality and I can't sit still. Oppa, please help me arrange some work." Jun Ji-hyun pleaded.
"I looked at SA Films' film production plan this year, and there is really no movie suitable for you. Once your status rises, it is difficult to lower yourself. If you play some supporting roles, then entertainment magazines will mock you for not being able to make it in Hollywood, so you come back to play supporting roles."
"I do have a good TV script here, called 'My Love from the Star'. I've written an outline, and when the time comes I'll find a screenwriter to perfect it and we can start filming."
"'My Love from the Star' mainly tells the love story between Do Min Joon, a mysterious man who came from outer space to the Joseon Dynasty and lived until 400 years later in the modern era, and Cheon Song Yi, the nation's top actress. It is a romantic love story of two people from different planets who eliminate misunderstandings through contact, overcome numerous obstacles and then seek true love." Song Yi gave a brief introduction.
After listening to Song Yi's introduction, Jun Ji-hyun found the script very interesting. "An alien who has lived for 400 years. No wonder you said he is the richest man in Korea. Oppa, who is richer between you and Professor Do Min-joon?"
Song Yi had never thought about this question. "Do Min Joon mainly bought some land, antiques and calligraphy and paintings. If these properties are not liquidated, it is difficult to assess his true financial strength. However, Do Min Joon's personal wealth is definitely the richest man in South Korea."
When Jun Ji-hyun heard Song Yi say this, she suddenly became excited, "Then this drama is about the nation's top actress and Korea's richest man dating each other? Oppa, when you put it that way, I instantly feel involved."
Previously, in SA Agency, Jun Ji-hyun was the top actress in the film industry, and Song Hye-kyo was the top actress in the TV industry. Jun Ji-hyun and Song Hye-kyo were trying to compete with each other. Later, the two took two completely different paths. Jun Ji-hyun focused on the development of the film industry, while Song Hye-kyo started to invest.
Since 2005, all the TV dramas starring Song Hye Kyo or Rain have been invested by Song Hye Kyo's personal company. Although the investment proportion is not high, Song Hye Kyo has completed the transformation from actor to producer.
Song Hye Kyo actually tried to transform herself into a movie actor, but the box office and reputation of the movies she filmed were average, so she mainly focused on TV dramas.
If SA Pictures produces a TV series, except for some period costume dramas, Song Hye Kyo is the first choice for the female lead. Jeon Ji Hyun has been filming movies for many years since her debut, and has never starred in a TV series. If Jeon Ji Hyun leaked that she was going to film a TV series, then "My Love from the Star" would be popular before it was even aired.
Fans of Jun Ji-hyun and Song Hye-kyo have been arguing about who is the best actress in South Korea, and each side has its own opinions.
Song Hye Kyo's fans say that Jun Ji Hyun has never proved herself in the fiercely competitive Korean dramas, and Jun Ji Hyun has also seen similar comments online. She is also holding back a lot of anger in her heart, hoping that she can achieve a good start with the Korean drama "My Love from the Star".
In early February, ABS TV announced that Jun Ji-hyun and Lee Joon-gi would co-star in the TV series "My Love from the Star". The two top movie actors with tens of millions of box office revenue co-starred in the TV series of ABS TV, which caused a great sensation in South Korea.
Lee Joon-gi previously successfully entered the ranks of male actors with a box office of tens of millions of viewers with the movie "The King and the Clown", and Jun Ji-hyun also became the first female actress in South Korea to have a box office of tens of millions of viewers with the movie "The Thieves". The powerful combination of Lee Joon-gi and Jun Ji-hyun has made Korean drama fans look forward to the release of this TV series.
When the TV series was launched, Mango TV and Youku.com contacted ABS TV and asked to introduce this Korean TV series. Jeon Ji-hyun's previous works "My Naughty Girlfriend" and "The Thieves" both achieved good box office in the mainland and were very popular.
The main cast of "My Love from the Star" includes Jun Ji-hyun, Lee Joon-gi, Yoo In-na and Park Hae-jin. The screenwriter is Park Ji-eun, a screenwriter of ABS TV.
When the main creative lineup was announced, fans of Lee Joon-gi and Jun Ji-hyun flocked to the ABS official website to express their dissatisfaction.
Liu Renna is not well-known in the entertainment industry. She was just a singer trainee before. Last year, she only made a cameo appearance in the thriller movie "A Niang" starring Song Yoon-ah. She can be said to be an unknown new actor.
In addition to Yoo In Na, the fans of these two groups are also very dissatisfied with Park Ji Eun. Park Ji Eun has never worked as a screenwriter for TV dramas before, but only as a screenwriter for variety shows. Although Park Ji Eun was also responsible for the screenwriting work of ABS TV's ace variety show "Running Man", variety shows and TV dramas are two different things after all.
After Liu Inna's photos were released online, netizens criticized her even more. They questioned whether Liu Inna had relied on her beauty to get to the top and whether she was definitely a relative of the "My Love from the Star" crew.
Song Yi also saw these reports on the Internet and called Park Ji-eun and Liu Inna to the SA Group building. Park Ji-eun had been here twice before, and Liu Inna was here for the first time. Song Yi's secretary Jiang Xiuna received them.
Liu Renna herself graduated from the Department of Secretarial Studies. Jiang Xiuna chatted with her for a few words and gave her affirmation, "Don't take the public opinion on the Internet seriously. As an actor, you must have a strong ability to withstand pressure. Since the president can choose you from so many actors to star in ABS's most important TV series this year, there must be a reason for it. You don't believe in yourself, but don't you believe in our president's vision?"
At this time, Song Yi had already seen the guests out of the office. Liu Inna noticed that the guests visiting Song Yi this time were actually the Samsung Group's Crown Princess Lin Zhiling and her sister Lin Xiangyu.
Lin Zhiling glanced at Liu Renna, then said goodbye to Song Yi, "President Song, I will go back first. Please take care of the affairs of the Elephant Group."
Song Yi and Lin Zhiling shook hands one by one, "Please pass it on to President Lin. I will pay attention to this matter."
After Lin Zhiling and her sister left, Song Yi returned to the office. Park Ji-eun and Liu Inna were waiting for him in the office. As soon as Song Yi came in, Park Ji-eun and Liu Inna quickly stood up to greet him.
Song Yi smiled and said, "Please sit down. Don't be too restrained. I am quite familiar with Writer Park, but this is the first time I meet Miss Inna."
"The reason I asked you to come here is to help you relieve some of the pressure. After all, the TV series "My Love from the Star" was actually my suggestion. I am also the consultant of this TV series and will participate in the production discussion of this TV series. Even if the sky falls, there is a tall man like me to hold it up, so you two don't have to worry."
Song Yi's words made both Park Ji-eun and Liu Inna laugh, and the atmosphere of the conversation instantly became a lot more relaxed.
"In fact, there are many variety show writers at ABS TV. The fact that Writer Park can become the writer of Running Man has already proved your ability. I only provided you with a simple idea for My Love from the Star, but Writer Park wrote a script for a full four episodes of the TV series. This beginning is actually very brilliant. After the TV series is broadcast, the pressure on Writer Park will completely disappear."
Park Ji-eun breathed a sigh of relief. Since Song Yi was also optimistic about her expanded script, the pressure on her was invisibly reduced a lot.
Song Yi glanced at Liu Inna again and touched his chin. "As for Miss Inna, she doesn't have much acting experience, but it doesn't matter. Miss Inna's appearance is naturally suitable for being an actor. In the TV series "My Love from the Star", you will play the role of Liu Shimei, the scheming best friend of the lead actress Cheon Song Yi. You are her closest friend, but because of your jealousy, you want to step on Cheon Song Yi. This is a very attractive role, you have to grasp it well."
When Liu Renna heard Song Yi say this, she became even more nervous. She nodded quickly to express her determination, "Thank you, President Song, for giving me such a good opportunity. I will definitely work hard and learn more from senior Jun Ji-hyun."
When Song Yi saw Liu Renna's performance, he sighed. He felt that he might have been forcing things.
In her previous life, Liu Inna starred in "My Love from the Star" in 2013. At that time, Liu Inna's acting skills had matured. She has starred in many TV series including "High Kick Through the Rooftop", "Secret Garden" and "Queen Inhyun's Man". It is still unknown whether Liu Inna can be competent for the role of Liu Shimei now.
Since he had already decided on the candidate, Song Yi had no intention of changing him at the last minute. "Okay, you guys go back first. Go lightly and don't feel any pressure."
Park Ji-eun and Liu Inna both heard Song Yi's sigh. Liu Inna's heart skipped a beat, knowing that Song Yi was not very satisfied with her.
Park Ji-eun and Liu Inna left the SA Group building together. When Liu Inna reached the parking lot, she pretended to be panicked and said, "Park, I left my keys in Secretary Jiang's office. I'm going back to get them. You can go back first. You don't have to wait for me. I'll take a taxi back later."
Seeing Liu Renna walking into the SA Group building again in high heels, Park Ji-eun admired Liu Renna's decisiveness. She shook her head and said, "Women in the entertainment industry are really not easy to deal with. Now they seem like Cheon Song Yi's scheming best friend."
Jiang Xiu Na was not surprised that Liu Ren Na came back, "Ms. Ren Na, the president is waiting for you in the office."
Liu Renna walked into Song Yi's office again and bowed to greet him. "President Song, I know you are not satisfied with my performance just now. Please give me a chance. I will definitely play the role of Liu Shimei well."
"Compared to other actresses, I am not a professional actor, nor do I have much experience in acting in film and television dramas. But I am determined to achieve my goal and never give up."
"I became a trainee at the age of seventeen and have been working hard to become a singer. Since I can't become a singer, being an actor is my last chance. I can't tolerate failure in my acting career more than being unknown for a long time. Please give me a chance, President Song. I will use my performance in "My Love from the Star" to prove to you that I, Liu Inna, am no worse than my senior Jun Ji-hyun except for my looks." Liu Inna said word by word.
Hearing Liu Inna say this, Song Yi became interested. Liu Inna is indeed an actress who has achieved success late in life. Although she is not from a professional background, she has always been good at learning.
Liu Shimei in "My Love from the Star" is Cheon Song Yi's best friend. In the script, Liu Shimei is 28 years old, has a fairy-like smile and gentle tone. Everyone who sees her will feel good about her. Whether it is family background or emotional intelligence, she is comparable to Cheon Song Yi, but she is inferior in appearance.
Song Yi called Jiang Xiu Na in, "Xiuna, you should get off work early today, and just don't be late tomorrow morning."
Jiang Xiu Na was slightly stunned. Even if Song Yi wanted to have something happen with Liu Ren Na in the office, he didn't have to send her back. Jiang Xiu Na had seen many absurd things between Song Yi and Li Jingshu, Cui Shanji, and Jin Huizhen.
Seeing that Jiang Xiu Na was a little confused, Song Yi explained to her, "Ms. Ren Na also graduated from the secretarial major. She will temporarily be my secretary from now on. Since Secretary Liu has taken up the post, you should have a good rest today and give her some room to perform."
When Jiang Xiu Na heard Song Yi say that, she spat at him in her heart. Song Yi was playing tricks more and more. Previously, he asked actress Han Ga In to play a guest role as a stewardess on Tae Hee's private jet, and now he even asked actress Liu Ren Na to play a guest role as a secretary. She felt a little indignant. Did Song Yi ignore her, the real secretary, but was very caring towards Liu Ren Na, the fake secretary?
"Okay, I will complete the handover with Miss Inna now." After Jiang Xiu Na said this, she took Liu Inna out of the office.
When Liu Inna re-entered Song Yi's office, Song Yi found that Liu Inna had changed her clothes. The bright yellow wide-shoulder suit and black tight skirt showed her femininity to the fullest.
Song Yi didn't know whether to laugh or cry when he saw what Liu Renna was wearing. "Isn't this Xiu Na's clothes? How did you suddenly wear it? You know what, it actually fits you well."
Liu Renna dropped her hands in front of her chest and brushed her hair aside, a little embarrassed, "President, Secretary Jiang said that my clothes today do not meet the secretary's dress code, so she specially picked out a set of clothes for me from her office closet to help me change into."
Liu Renna did quickly get into the role of secretary and arranged Song Yi's work in an orderly manner. Before leaving get off work, Song Yi congratulated Liu Renna, "It's a pity that you are not my secretary. But if you were my secretary, it would be even more regrettable. Tomorrow you go to SA Agency and sign an actor agency contract, and the role of Liu Shimei is yours."
When Liu Renna heard Song Yi say this, she couldn't hide her surprise, she covered her cheeks with her hands, and almost cried. She looked at Song Yi, mustered up the courage to run to Song Yi, hugged Song Yi, and then kissed Song Yi hard to express her gratitude.
Song Yi didn't expect Liu Inna to suddenly do this. Since Liu Inna took the initiative, he didn't hesitate. He put his arms around Liu Inna's slender waist and kissed her.
Liu Renna pretended to protest, "President, I am your secretary now. You, the big boss, can't bully me, a small secretary."
Song Yi raised his hand and looked at his watch. "It's 6:05 now. We are off work. We are no longer in a boss-secretary relationship. We are just an ordinary boyfriend-girlfriend relationship."
Liu Renna has now confirmed that the national goddess Jun Ji-hyun is Song Yi's woman. It was because of Song Yi that Jun Ji-hyun won the Grand Bell Award for Best Actress. Her appearance is indeed slightly inferior to Jun Ji-hyun, but her career ambition is no less than Jun Ji-hyun . Liu Renna, who has achieved success late in life, is indeed very beautiful.
