Three years later, on a winter day during graduation season.
In Samseong-dong, Jiangnan District, a slender young man was walking outside the Loen company building, attracting the attention of many fans who were wandering outside the gate.
"Is that person an artiste?" A girl asked her companion curiously.
"It shouldn't be, right?" A little girl with a round face pushed her glasses up and said uncertainly," I've never seen this person before.”
"But that person has a good temperament and looks so handsome!”Another little girl said excitedly with her hands in front of her chest.
"Ah! I remember now, it seems to be Jin Shimu!”The last girl suddenly shouted.
"Jin Shimu? Who is it?" A few people around him crowded around. They all felt that this name was familiar, but they couldn't remember where they had heard it before.
"The younger brother of Qian Songyi in 'Star You!' That pretty boy!" The girl explained with a disappointed look.
Only then did the surrounding people sigh in realization.
A year ago, the TV series " My Love From the Star " was a hit across Asia. Not only did it increase the popularity of the male and female leads, but it also made many supporting roles popular. It was the same for Jin Shimu, who played the role of Qian Yuncai.
With his remarkable acting skills and outstanding appearance, Jin Shimu had gained a large group of fans as soon as he officially debuted as an actor in " Star You."
Both inside and outside the industry were looking forward to his follow-up works, but unfortunately, Jin Shimu, who was approaching the college entrance examination, decided to temporarily focus on his studies and stopped his acting activities.
The company also fully respected his decision.
As a result, Jin Shimu, who had just gained some fame, gradually faded out of the public eye. The number of members in the fan club fell day by day. Up until now, there were only about 200 of his hardcore fans who had not closed their membership.
...
Jin Shimu could not help but feel a little emotional when he returned to the company after half a year.
Walking through the familiar hall, the person who greeted him was no longer the receptionist who had brought him to the president. Instead, it was a younger and more beautiful lady.
"Hello, do you need help?”
"No thanks."
Jin Shimu waved his hand and declined the receptionist's kindness. He walked to the elevator alone.
Jin Shimu went upstairs and knocked on the door of a meeting room on the top floor.
"Enter!" A deep and powerful male voice came from the room, carrying the aura of a superior. If a person had been in a high position for a long time, his words and actions would unconsciously carry such an imposing manner.
Jin Shimu pushed the door open and saw the man sitting at the head of the conference table. He was the representative of Loen and the man who had invited him to sign with Loen-Pei Zhonghan.
There were a few familiar faces sitting beside him.
The first man on the left was called Zheng Zaishuo, Jin Shimu's manager. He was much older than Jin Shimu and had long been married. Of course, Kim Si-mu was only one of the company's artistes that he was leading, but that might not be the case in the future. Bae Zhonghan had expressed that he wanted to nurture Kim Si-mu into an existence that would not lose to IG. At that time, Jeong Jae-suk would not have the time to lead other artistes.
Beside him were Nan Jixun, Park Soo Soo, Lee Jiwon, Cha Hyung Do, and others. These were the company's operations and planning staff. In addition to market analysis, they were also responsible for planning the development direction of the company's artists.
There was no doubt that the reason why so many people had gathered today was to discuss Jin Shimu's future development plan.
"Shi Mu, you're here!" When Pei Zhonghan saw that it was Jin Shimu who entered the room, his originally indifferent expression instantly relaxed. He smiled and invited him to take a seat.
Zheng Zai Shuo and the others also greeted him.
Kim Si-moo lowered his head slightly to the people in the room and sat next to Park Soo-Soo, who was closest to the door.
"Alright, everyone is finally here!"
Pei Zhonghan pressed his hands on the conference table and swept his gaze across the company employees on both sides. Finally, he fixed his gaze on Jin Shimu, who was at the bottom. He suddenly clapped his hands and said with a smile,"Let's congratulate Shi Mu on his successful graduation!”
"Shi Mu! Congratulations!"
"Congratulations, congratulations!"
Jin Shimu felt a little burdened, but it was difficult to refuse his kindness. He had no choice but to stand up and thank him politely."Neksanghamita."
"Don't be so reserved, Shi Mu. Sit!”Pei Zhonghan waited for Jin Shimu to sit down again and asked with a smile,""How is it? I heard them say that the exam paper this time is very difficult. Are you confident of getting into Shou-Er University?”
He had always known about Jin Shimu's academic performance. Otherwise, he would not have allowed him to stop practicing in the second half of the third year of high school during the contract period and focus on preparing for the college entrance examination so that he would not be distracted and strive to get into a famous school.
The status of an artiste had never been high, but it was different if they had a highly educated title. Not only could they create a topic, but it would also be of great benefit to the artiste's future development.
"It's alright." Jin Shimu didn't say too much, but his confident tone had already given the answer.
Pei Zhonghan nodded slightly. He was more confident in Jin Shimu's future development. Even though his popularity had fallen to the bottom of the list of celebrities, Pei Zhonghan had never been worried even once.
The competition in the entertainment industry was cruel, but gold would always shine. Jin Shimu was the most dazzling gold he had discovered in the vast expanse of sand!
"Alright, let's start the meeting!”
"Inner-"
Everyone in the room put away their original relaxed sitting posture and looked at Pei Zhonghan, who was at the head of the table, waiting for him to speak.
"Everyone should know that Shi Mu is preparing to return. I asked everyone to come here this time to hear your thoughts.”Pei Zhonghan was halfway through his sentence when he suddenly looked at Jin Shimu in the corner." Shimu, you can say whatever you think.”
After a brief silence, Nan Jixun from the operations department was the first to speak.""I think we should focus on TV dramas first. Haven't some good scripts been found recently?”
As soon as he finished speaking, a woman opposite him raised her hand and said,"I object!"
"What's the reason?" Pei Zhonghan asked.
"Shi Mu's popularity has almost been lost. It won't be easy for him to enter the production team as the main lead.”The woman said," Right now, the most important thing is to make Shi Mu famous. I think that debuting as a singer is the most effective way!”
Everyone nodded slightly. They all felt that what the woman said was not without reason.
(The college entrance exam is in November.)
