Chapter 88
First Snow?
Chapter 88 First Snow?
After hearing the whole story, Shin Yoo-na realized something.
"So that means we won't lack snacks anymore?!" She beamed, as if she'd heard about free rabbits being given away under carrots nearby, making you wonder if ears would sprout from your head any second.
"That's not the point, is it?" Shen Liuzhen poked her forehead, wanting to see if her simple-minded younger sister, who had a background in sports, only had food in her head. "Didn't you hear the words 'copyright fee'?"
"Copyright fees..." Choi Jisoo pursed her lips, "That's no small sum."
"How many?" Huang Lizhi asked, as she didn't understand these things.
"Songwriters and composers typically receive about 10% of the profit from a song..." Choi Ji-soo, coming from a well-off family, knew a bit about this. "If what the producer said is true, we estimate we could earn tens of millions of won?"
"Tens of millions of Korean won?!" Hwang Ye-ji was stunned by this number.
"Yes, that's a conservative estimate." Choi Ji-soo nodded.
"Daifa..." Huang Lizhi's cat-like lips parted slightly. The last time she knew of such a large sum of money was when she was a child receiving medical treatment.
How many packs of her favorite cookies could she buy with that? Enough to eat for a lifetime, right? She couldn't help but think.
She also realized how much her choice between apples and watermelons had affected them.
"The producer is so generous," Lee Chaeryeong exclaimed. "He just gave away tens of millions like that."
"The producer himself isn't short of money, is he?" Choi Ji-soo had observed, "I've seen him drive Panameras that cost around 100 million won."
"But having money doesn't necessarily mean you have to be generous," Li Cailing frowned, finding her words strange.
"Uh...yes." Choi Ji-soo chuckled awkwardly, realizing she had fallen into a cognitive trap.
Being wealthy does not necessarily mean one must give alms; this is not a matter of course.
"Actually, it all comes down to proving one thing," Shin Yoo-na concluded.
"What is it?" The others looked at her.
"The producer is such a nice person, hehe." Shin Yuna chuckled, skillfully sending out another "nice guy" card. She then squatted down and started rummaging through the large bag of snacks. "Let's not talk about that now, let's have some snacks. What do you unnies want?"
"Barley grains are fine," Li Cailing said. She has a tendency to gain weight easily and doesn't dare to eat snacks that are too high in calories.
"Bread, please," Choi Ji-soo suggested.
"I can do it myself." Shin Ryujin casually squatted down, pulled out a bag of potato chips and put it in her pocket. Knowing that Hwang Yeji liked cookies, she took out another bag of cookies and handed it to her, who was still in a daze beside her. "Unnie, would you like some cookies?"
"Oh." Huang Lizhi took it blankly, his fingers instinctively tearing open the packaging through the saw cut.
"Tear".
Biting into the torn bread, Pei Xiyan casually picked up the remote control from the coffee table and turned on the TV.
The sky outside the French windows was a vast expanse of white, and it didn't look like the sun would come out. He woke up very early today and, unusually, ate breakfast.
"Good morning, viewers. Today is November 24th. The temperature in Seoul and Gyeonggi Province is..."
""
It was during the morning weather forecast, and a smartly dressed female host began introducing today's weather.
He listened casually, eating his bread while replying to messages on his phone with his finger.
[Wake up~ (picture).] Sana Minatozaki sent a picture of herself sitting in her van, looking like she's going to the beauty salon to get her makeup done.
[Good morning (picture).] Next is Bae Joo-beom, who has already arrived at the beauty salon. In the photo, she is taking a picture in front of the makeup mirror, with the makeup artist behind her busy with her hair. Bae Seok-yeon also saw Son Seung-wan playing on her phone in the corner of the sofa and Kang Seul-gi dozing off next to her with her eyes closed.
[What's Noona's schedule today?]
[I'm going to record a program at SBS today.]
The TV was still saying, "...As cold air and warm, humid air converge over Seoul, viewers today have the chance to witness Seoul's first snowfall."
Having detected a certain keyword, Pei Xiyan slightly raised her eyes from her phone and saw a snowflake icon above the 3D map of Seoul.
Is it going to snow today?
"Unnie, the weather forecast says it looks like it's going to snow today!" At the beauty salon, Son Seungwan also saw the news.
"Snowing?" Bae Joo-hyun put down her phone, turned her head slightly, and glanced at her out of the corner of her eye.
"Isn't that the first snow?" Park Soo-young, who was sitting at the nearby dressing table, also looked away from her phone.
The first snowfall is a very special day on the Korean Peninsula. It's not just the first snow of the year, but also a symbol of pure love and the emotions of first love. The people of the peninsula have a deep-rooted love for the first snowfall. Many Korean dramas and literary works use the first snowfall as a backdrop, from classic dramas like "Winter Sonata" to "My Love from the Star," "Reply 1988," and "Goblin."
"Daaaaaah!" Kim Ye-rin exclaimed, raising her hands. "Does that mean we can joke around like that now?"
The second meaning of the first snow is that on this day, no matter what lie people tell, they will be forgiven.
"Huh?" Suddenly, there was a commotion around them. Kang Seulgi rubbed her eyes sleepily. "What are they talking about?"
"It might snow today," Son Seungwan said, turning her head.
"Qinjia? Does that mean we can eat fried chicken and drink beer?" Kang Seulgi was stunned for a moment, then a bright smile appeared on her face.
Could this be a third layer of meaning?
[Does Nuna know what will happen today?]
"Kakao~" A new message came in on my phone.
Bae Joo-hyun smiled slightly, "[Let me guess...is it going to snow?]"
[No wonder she's the No. 1 in the "Female Idol You Most Want to See the First Snow With" poll, she even knows this.]
[You still remember this poll? (smiles)]
[After all, they are the pride of Daegu.]
[Okay, then I won't trouble Shuyan today. Daegu Pride orders you to pick me up tonight.]
Not only because of the first snow, but also because it's the weekend now and it's time to go home.
[Okay.] Pei Xiyan chuckled, showing no objection, but then asked again, [Is it at SBS in Mokdong?]
The three major television networks each have several branches in Seoul, each with different functions and used to record different programs. These branches are often located in different parts of the city, so it would be embarrassing to go to the wrong one.
[Inside.]
During the conversation, after Pei Xiyan finished his bread, he clapped his hands and remembered something else.
24th, Mokdong SBS....
It seems that Hwang Li-ji is going there to record "thefan" today.
"I should set off early this afternoon and go see her," Pei Xiyan thought to herself.
Under the same sky, in Jiangdong District, Huang Lizhi stood downstairs at the dormitory building with a bag on his back and his hair casually draped over his shoulders. With his bare face, he looked like an innocent little cat.
After a while, a van came into view. The van slowly stopped, and someone rolled down the window. "Reiji, get in."
"Yes, Junho senior." After respectfully greeting the person inside, Hwang Ye-ji opened the car door and got in.
They set off for Mokdong to film a program for SBS.
