Peninsula: You've been chosen here for producing girl groups.

Chapter 115 The Sexy Wildcat's Home: First Endorsement Secured

"Cheers."

Cheers!

Second floor of a hotel.

Executives and staff from Fanxing Entertainment and Hulihuli's offices in South Korea stood up, raised their glasses, and clinked them against the man in the center of the scene, offering their blessings.

"Director, please say a few words."

Lee Joong-seok and Kim Hyun-soon are very good at handling things.

They all gave their subordinates meaningful glances, and the group worked together to get Han Shuo to say a few words.

"Then I'll say a few words."

Han Shuo stood in an open spot, trying to make himself visible to everyone.

Winning the music award is not only a milestone in his personal acting career, but also the first trophy that Star Entertainment has received since its establishment, making it exceptionally significant.

"I have seen some controversy online, with all sorts of opinions."

"No one dares to say that our songs lack quality or our stage performances lack sincerity, which is inseparable from everyone's sincere cooperation over the past few months —"

Li Zhongshuo led the applause.

With the company's performance booming, no one would be unhappy.

"I'll skip the pleasantries and get to the point. All employees at Fanxing Entertainment will receive a bonus equivalent to one month's salary, and the Bilibili office will receive an additional half-month's salary."

The substantial bonus brought joy to everyone's faces, and cheers erupted.

The palms of several new employees who joined the company in the last few days have turned red from clapping.

I'll give you the maximum bonus, I'd sell my life for you.

"I hope everyone will continue their efforts to truly live up to the company name, StarsEntertainment, and make it a dazzling mecca for stars!"

Also attending the celebration party were his, Ni Shi's, and Nazha's families.

From arriving in Seoul last Saturday to witnessing him win first place today, the three families have been in Seoul for a week.

We've met all the people we wanted to meet, tasted all the local delicacies we wanted to eat, and visited all the tourist attractions we wanted to see. It's time to go back to China. The three families have already booked flights for tomorrow morning.

"Director Han, we've all heard from this girl that you've devoted a lot of energy to her."

Ni Ni's parents raised their glasses to Han Shuo, saying, "Thank you for your high regard and nurturing of our Ni Ni."

"Really? What have they been saying about me?"

Han Shuo tilted his head and looked at Ni Ni.

"What can I say? Just telling the truth."

Ni Ni's eyes could speak; her bright, alluring gaze shot towards him.

She leaned on her mother's shoulder, secretly conveying her tenderness and affection to Han Shuo through her eyes.

"My parents don't understand what StarsRookies is, but they know it's a special program for me, telling me to work hard and not let them down."

"Of course, this is why we're focusing our efforts on developing you!"

Han Shuo emphasized the last four words.

Even today, whenever he runs into Ni Xuan, he can still recall the scene in the waiting room that day.

Almost.

Water was pumped out.

Ni Ni seemed to have caught his hint, her lips curving upwards in a wide smile, which she then tried to suppress: "You'll have to keep focusing on nurturing me from now on~"

"What are you saying, you little brat?"

Ni Ni's father glared at his daughter as if scolding her, then raised his glass to Han Shuo in an almost ingratiating tone: "Thank you for your high regard and cultivation of our Nini. We entrust our Nini to you now~"

Parents always want to pave the way for their children.

Han Shuo, understanding their feelings, took the initiative to clink glasses with the two of them, formally accepting their gratitude and request.

The parents of Naza need to be even more enthusiastic.

Both of them knew very well that their daughter's talents were all in her face, and she didn't think much in her words and actions, so they could only repeatedly ask him to take care of her.

It's like entrusting one's orphan to another.

"Dad, Mom, even if you don't say anything, my brother is always very good to me~"

Naza said in a simple, honest tone, "I failed the monthly test a couple of days ago, but he couldn't bear to hit me."

"Look at what you're saying, it makes it sound like I really enjoy physically punishing people."

Fearing that the girl might bring up something like spanking, Han Shuo quickly interrupted her.

It's not a big deal, but it's still a little strange.

He said, feigning anger, "I've always been good to you, but you haven't remembered it at all. I've punished you a few times, and you've held a grudge every time."

Even though that person is simple-minded, they can still distinguish between good and bad: "I know you're doing this for my own good, that's why I won't be angry with you."

"

The celebration party ended.

To allow Ni Shi and Na Zha to spend more time with their parents, Han Shuo had them return to the hotel with his family.

He and the other trainees went back to their dorm to hold a second celebration party.

On the way back.

To avoid being photographed by the media and potentially getting involved in something unintentionally, he specifically asked everyone to travel back separately from him.

"Hey, Noona, it's me."

On the way back, Han Shuo called Song Yun'er.

"It's you~"

Not knowing what Song Yoon-ah was doing, her tone was tinged with fatigue, yet brimming with barely concealed surprise: "Why did you suddenly think of calling me?"

"Of course I want to thank Noona for sending me flowers."

Song Yoon-ah giggled: "Congratulations! You're currently the holder of the shortest record, hmm~"

Hearing the slight upturn in Song Yoon-ah's voice, Han Shuo could imagine the smile that was playing on her lips right now.

This is a little gesture Song Yoon-ah makes when she's happy.

"I heard a horn. Are you outside?"

"I just finished the celebration party and I'm heading straight to the dorm."

The older sister was right; she immediately reminded him, "Drive carefully, and remember to drive slowly."

"And you? What are you doing right now?"

"I just took a shower and I'm lying on the bed right now."

Han Shuo asked her how to do it, and even vividly described several positions. Song Yun'er laughed and scolded him, slightly annoyed, "You little rascal~"

Like flirting over the phone, the two chatted quite boldly and openly.

In the end, it all returned to sweetness.

The main reason is that Song Yoon-ah keeps saying he's some kind of lucky star.

It is said that since he visited the set and sent his blessings, the ratings of "Onair" have successfully stopped declining and have even risen.

Even her negative reviews have decreased significantly.

Little did they know that everyone was used to her performances, so wouldn't there be far fewer negative reviews?

"How are you going to thank me?"

Song Yoon-ah retorted, "How...how do you want me to thank you?"

Her voice was slightly breathless.

It feels weird.

Han Shuo asked, amused, "Noona, what are you doing?"

"What do you think I'm doing?"

"I was just practicing planks."

Song Yoon-ah didn't dare to tell the truth at all.

She was actually flirting on the phone.

It's just that Han Shuo's call came at the worst possible time.

It struck right when she was watching his wet-body MV, at the crucial moment when he was casting water magic, dragging her directly into a hell of depravity.

Every word Han Shuo uttered was like a button being pressed.

Let her sway back and forth in a contorted manner.

"Then give me a kiss, as a goodnight kiss."

Sensing the surge of emotions about to wash over her, Song Yoon-ah didn't even have time to refuse, giving him a quick "mua" before hanging up the phone immediately.

My phone is lost.

He trembled all over, revealing a happy smile.

"What the hell?"

Han Shuo didn't quite understand.

Song Yoon-ah shouldn't be this shy.

Why did you kiss me and then hang up the phone?

I'll have to give him a good beating next time we meet.

As for why I didn't call back, it's because someone called right on time.

If he doesn't answer the call, the other party might come straight to his dorm.

Who else could it be but Han Ye-seul, who dares to love and hate?

As soon as the call connected, Han Yise pressed him to ask if the company's celebration party had ended, saying she wanted to come over and personally throw him a private celebration party.

Talking about celebrating victory is just an excuse.

I just wanted to come over and get intimate.

Han Ye-seul is at the age where she can bring joy to others, isn't she just like a child who lacks love and wants to be pampered?

"Stop."

"Haven't you heard about keeping things fresh? There's no way you can become inseparable just by seeing each other every day!"

Han Ye-seul is the type who won't budge even if you push her, and will even back away if you try to coax her; she's neither swayed by force nor by gentle persuasion: "Oh, so you've already lost interest in me so quickly?"

"I'm scared of you. Not tonight, or rather, not for the next few weeks."

As his popularity rises, his dormitory location is at risk of being exposed. Today, he achieved first place again, which greatly increases media attention on him.

Several reporters were following them at the celebration party.

Han Ye-seul sneaked over; she might just get caught on camera by a reporter from "Where Are We Going?"

He coaxed Han Yise with a lot of sweet talk.

We agreed to meet at the company tomorrow.

While waiting at a traffic light, I took the opportunity to reply to the congratulatory messages from actors I've met before, such as Son Ye-jin, Song Hye-kyo, and Kim Ha-neul.

He also chatted with Son Ye-jin, who was attending the Baeksang Arts Awards, and asked her to take care of him.

"With your current popularity, do you really need me to take care of you?"

Han Shuo playfully bargained, "How about I treat you to dinner next time?"

Son Ye-jin was amused: "Is this the meal I'm owed you? But for Yoona's sake, I'll give you face this time."

Han Shuo looked hurt: "What? I can't even use my face here now?"

"Yes, you still need to keep working hard!"

Son Ye-jin, like a preschool teacher, gently coaxed people to play.

'

"Cheers!"

Halfway through the celebration party, the little girls were so full they had to leave.

It's that time of year again when everyone's favorite moment arrives – the moment of adulthood.

Eleven girls, including Li Liuxi, drank a little wine, hummed a little tune, and played all sorts of social games with Han Shuo, trying their best to make him happy.

"I'm going to wash my face."

Han Shuo got up and walked towards the bathroom.

Wen Xuanya followed him discreetly, and just as Han Shuo was about to close the door, she slipped inside like an eel, pressing her plump, upturned buttocks against the door.

He fumbled for the doorknob with both hands and pressed it gently.

The door was locked.

Her eyes were soft and alluring as she looked at Han Shuo across from her: "Director~"

The sexy little wildcat was sending out signals that it wanted its owner's favor, so what could Han Shuo say? Naturally, he had to grant its wish and kissed it.

The two hands encircled a full, rounded shape.

Their lips met.

An ambiguous atmosphere began to rise.

Wen Xuan Ya's heart burned with passion: "Director, tonight—"

"Stay."

Han Shuo lifted the little wildcat's chin and kissed her, then had her turn her back to him and lean closer into his arms. He pressed himself against her from behind and looked in the mirror.

"Didn't you say you were going to celebrate my success?"

Wen Xuanya gently stroked the abs of the person behind her with her right hand: "So how am I supposed to get here? Should I go back first, or—"

"I'll have Yunzhi help you out."

Kim Yoon-ji and Moon Hyun-ah successfully stayed until the end by citing reasons that they had something to discuss.

The two were roommates, and now they've become sisters.

Kim Yoon-ji hugged Han Seok and kissed him, still wanting more: "Are you sure you don't want me to stay and join you? I won't ruin things for you guys, I'm here to—"

Please~

Wen Xuanya coaxed and pushed Jin Yunzhi away.

Only the two of them remained in the living room.

She hugged Han Shuo tightly, greedily inhaling the surging male hormones emanating from him, which made Han Shuo laugh: "Are you trying to absorb his yang energy?"

"Reason—Darling~"

Wen Xuanya lifted her head from Han Shuo's arms: "Carry me to take a bath."

Let's go.

Han Shuo easily picked up Wen Xuanya.

Wen Xuanya has a voluptuous figure and a curvaceous body, but she is over 1.72 meters tall, making her a typical large-framed beauty, which inevitably makes her look somewhat voluptuous.

She leaned on Han Shuo's shoulder, asking nervously, "Won't it be heavy?"

"What's wrong?"

Han Shuo raised an eyebrow and leaned close to the other person's ear: "Are you afraid you'll sit on me and kill me?"

Wen Xuanya didn't reply, she just kept kissing him.

Her own dance foundation was not solid, but she was very dedicated to learning and would practice any dance knowledge point repeatedly without getting tired of it.

Especially the waist and hip techniques.

The water flowing over the partition glass outlined a hazy, alluring curve.

Han Shuo covered Wen Xuan Ya's hands from behind, interlocking their fingers: "Xuan Ya ah————"

After a night of public discussion, the report of Han Shuo winning first place on the first day of the Lunar New Year topped the trending searches.

Meanwhile, yesterday's album sales data showed that "LoveTrap" once again defied expectations, selling a total of 4009 copies, bringing its cumulative sales to 7.1278 copies!

This officially marks Han Seok surpassing Kim Dong-ryul to become the artist with the best-selling album in the first three months of this year.

The album's unparalleled appeal silenced some of the skeptical netizens, leaving them with no energy.

Fans commented: "I haven't even used my strength yet, and you've already collapsed?"

This is the benefit of having tangible results.

Fans are like this: they just want to show their idol's achievements, while the idol has to consider many other things.

The effects of the first-place event are still spreading.

-

The school uniform brand Smart softened its stance, seemingly fearing that its competitor Elite would beat it to the punch, and made significant concessions.

The two sides reached a cooperation agreement in the morning.

Hanseok and the five members of StarsRookies have officially become the spokespeople for Smart's summer school uniform.

His personal endorsement fee is 85 million, and the endorsement fees for the five people are 15 million each, totaling 100 million.

Smart didn't have any special requests, except for one verbal request:

Hopefully, when he and his company are shooting materials related to school themes, they will prioritize using Smart for school uniforms.

Smart is willing to sponsor us free of charge, what more needs to be said?

Of course, a warm welcome.

"Actually, Smart's previous concerns were not unfounded. I have been considering empowering the members of StarsRookies."

"It's not just about personal channels and resources from sister companies. We'll also film some 'GG dramas' for free for some of our partners after the music show ends."

A smart person might wonder: "A Gossip Girl show?"

"Yes, you can call it a web series."

If we want these members to break into the mainstream more quickly, we still need to film TV dramas and variety shows.

Bilibili's online variety show "Weekly Idol" is in preparation, but it is a variety show for debuted artists and will not be open to the five members for the time being.

As for TV dramas.

Traditional TV drama production costs are too high, the shooting cycle is too long, and the risk of failure is very high. Even if it is successful, the TV station will take the majority of the profits.

It's not worth it at all.

Filming a web series would be perfect.

Speaking of Korean web dramas, the earliest ones were GG dramas.

Each episode is only a few minutes long, and a web series has about ten episodes, which together is about the length of a normal mini-series, so the production cost is very low.

It should include school uniform elements to promote Smart.

There just happens to be a web series called "Suddenly Back to Eighteen".

The original drama starred Choi Minho and Lee Yoobi, and the rights to it were later bought by a domestic platform for a remake, namely "My Hedgehog Girl" starring Zhuang Da Tui.

He briefly explained the plot to the Smart people.

The other person looked expectant: "Wow, time travel, saving first love, a loser's awakening—the plot is very novel, I'm already looking forward to it."

Curious, the other party pressed further, "Are you in the role?"

"Of course, I'll play the male lead, and as for the female lead," Han Shuo thought for a moment before finally deciding to assign the role to Jiang Hanna: "Hanna will play the female lead."

The music broadcast time is 3:30 pm. This time it was pre-recorded and he had to go to Gaoyang City, which made Han Seok's schedule very tight.

Having signed the endorsement contract, they were about to head to Gaoyang City.

After finishing the pre-recording, I had to rush back to Seoul for a signing event.

Just as he finished his book signing and was about to get back to the company, Ga-in, the brown-eyed girl, called and cautiously asked if she could have two minutes of his time.

"Our representative wanted to ask if we could commission a song from you?"

The hearts of the four members, including Gain, were in their throats, wondering what kind of answer they would hear.

They knew it was a bit presumptuous to suddenly ask them to sing.

However, they had no choice but to do so. This year, their group became a huge hit with their song "Love," and their popularity and fame skyrocketed, bringing their careers to a critical point.

If the next song can make it to the top, then we can establish a firm foothold.

If the response is lukewarm, there's a high probability that things will revert to their original state.

Having already experienced the treatment of being a top idol group member, who would want to go back to that difficult period of obscurity?

Therefore, the selection of the producer for the next song had to be done with great care. After careful consideration, the company chose Han Seok, who had become a huge hit after his debut and had his own built-in popularity.

"I can't explain the details over the phone, let's meet on Inkigayo tomorrow."

Wen Xuanya
