The incident of Lu Hongzhe affected many people, but due to Lu's identity as a comedian and his attitude of not pursuing the matter afterwards, the whole incident almost didn't stir up any waves and subsided.

  Apart from affecting the recording of "Infinite Challenge".

  Due to Lu Hongzhe's injury, the recording of Infinite Challenge was suspended for four weeks, which also gave Yoon Hyun more time.

  Then Yin Xian began to gradually record songs for his new album.

  The filming of "IRIS" has also come to an end.

  After several weeks of broadcasting, the filming time of the drama that was originally scheduled to be completed has been extended for another week.

  Nothing else, the continuously increasing ratings made every member of the crew think carefully about every shot.

  Delicate work requires careful craftsmanship.

  However, just as they were about to film the final scene of the entire series, a controversy arose within the production team.

  Both leading actors and the director disagreed with the tragic ending.

  According to the original script, after completing the mission of saving the country, the male and female leads will go on vacation together, and the male lead will also propose to the female lead during the trip. However, the male lead ultimately dies on his way to propose to the female lead.

  According to the plot and arrangement of the original script, such a tragic ending can actually give the whole play a sense of abruptness.

  But the bad thing is that the actors' performance has exceeded the screenwriter's expectations too much. Also because of the actors' performance, the script has undergone many revisions, although the overall storyline and main line have not changed much, but the entire play has transformed from a depressing tragic atmosphere to a grand epic.

  In today's atmosphere, using a shooting method similar to bullet-piercing lifebuoy for the ending is actually very unwise.

  The screenwriter also knows.

  He just can't stand that the ending suddenly became a 007-style finale where he gets the girl. Even if it's a comedy, there must be some thought-provoking elements added to it.

  And so, due to this reason that can't be considered a real reason, the filming entered a relatively stagnant phase.

  Yin Xian actually has nothing to do with this controversy. His play is already over. In the drama, his role was thrown off a cliff by his own traitorous partner to save the two main characters who were caught. He will come today, actually preparing for tonight's kill green feast.

  Looking at the scene where everyone was silent due to entanglement, Yoon Hyun felt a bit of a headache.

  Then his MC instincts started acting up.

  "Come on, let's summarize!" Yin Xian clapped his hands and gathered the two silent lead actors, director, and screenwriter together. "Let's analyze the situation. Currently, if we stick to the original plot where the male lead is shot, no one will be satisfied, right?"

  The four of them fell silent, and even the screenwriter nodded silently.

  "That means the male lead can't die, he's still alive in the end," Yoon Hyun summarized.

  The four of them also nodded in agreement.

  "But the screenwriter didn't agree with the male lead succeeding in proposing so easily, right?" Yoon Hyun continued to tidy up.

  The screenwriter nodded.

  "So it's either setting obstacles, either on the male lead's proposal path or during the female lead's waiting time." Yoon Hyun continued: "On the proposal path, there are two types, being rescued by someone unknowingly or rushing over to see the female lead after defeating the enemy. And in the case of the female lead waiting, it's the male lead who arrives later and takes out the killer. So it's just these three situations!"

  "But we don't have an extra role appearing." The director said suddenly.

  "An extra role? Oh, you mean the director wants me to play the role of an assassin? That's easy, either you or the screenwriter can just make a cameo appearance!" Yun Xian said nonchalantly.

  Kim Tae-hee, who had been gloomy until then, burst out laughing at the suggestion.

  The screenwriter and director both turned pale.

  "This is no problem, if necessary, I can help find a friend to substitute at any time." Li Bingxian said on the side.

  "So, the key point is still that the screenwriter and director must form a common opinion: what do you ultimately want to say with this play? Is it like the screenwriter thinks, that in the end, the person who wins everything for the masses will sacrifice everything as a tragic hero, or is it like the director thinks, that good people will necessarily have good fortune. Or maybe something in between..."

  "The last shot actually didn't have much time to use," said the screenwriter.

  "That's simple, I have a suggestion. The villain arranged for an assassin to ambush him on the way to propose, but his colleagues found out and dispatched a special agent to take out the killer without Bong-soon knowing. Bong-soon successfully proposed. What do you think?" said Eun-seok. "In that case, the theme of the entire drama would be: heroes are never alone, even the hero who saved the world needs saving too. A civilian hero. It also matches with Bong-soon's character in the drama, what do you think?"

  Yoon Hyun finished speaking and looked at his colleagues, who were staring at their director and screenwriter, and clapped his hands.

  "This suggestion of yours is actually not bad," said the screenwriter suddenly.

  "I agree with this ending too." The director also nodded, "And the meaning is also very good."

  "Do I need to find someone to temporarily replace these two killers?" Li Bingxian also expressed his agreement.

  "I can also ask friends to come." Jin Tai Xi was very satisfied, and this ending was proposed by his own brother, so he should support it emotionally and rationally.

  "It's actually not that troublesome, let the screenwriter act as the assassin. The reinforcements can be handled by the director."

  "No way!" The director shook his head like a rattle drum.

  "Or I'll go then!" Yoon Hyun said after thinking for a moment. "Anyway, I don't have anything to do today."

  "Aren't you already dead?" Kim Tae-hee interrupted again.

  "It was just thrown down, who knows if it's dead or alive?" Yoon Hyun said with a smile.

  "This is a good idea!" Li Bingxian suddenly said.

  "There's also a bit of redemption in it." The screenwriter nodded too.

  Then "IRIS" finally deviated from the original ending of the drama. The last shot was frozen on Kim Tae-hee's happy smiling face and another half of the screen showed Yoon Hyun with a lit cigarette.

  While "IRIS" has already aired halfway on TV, the average viewing rate of episode 10 has reached 45%. It seems that becoming this year's ratings champion for all dramas is almost a done deal.

  However, after completing the filming, Yoon Hyun did not care about the ratings anymore. For him, it was just a promise to Kim Tae-hee that he had fulfilled. Although he enjoyed and felt happy during the filming of the drama, he didn't have time to enjoy the glory that this drama might bring to himself now.

  He has more important things to do.

  This is his first formal album.

  After this period of sprint, 12 songs have been recorded. According to Yoon Hyun's intention, it can be basically prepared for release. After all, half of the songs in this album are old songs that everyone has heard and is familiar with. Just these few old songs, the number of first places won on Music Bank and Inkigayo is nearly ten. This achievement is quite good for any singer's album.

  However, LOEN Entertainment apparently did not intend to let Yoon Hyun easily go. As IU's schedule has decreased and Kim Soo-yeon's workload is not very large at the moment, she was reassigned by the company to arrange his schedule for Yoon Hyun.

  When this schedule fell into Yoon Hyun's hands, he himself was also at a loss whether to laugh or cry.

  "Is the company planning on selling an album for 80,000 won at this pace?" Yunhyeong's sarcastic comment directly pointed to the core of this schedule: cost.

  Yes, the cost. LOEN Entertainment plans to produce music videos for all eleven songs on this album except "Gangnam Style", which has already had a luxurious MV produced.

  It's no longer just being extravagant with money.

  This is simply outrageous.

  However, after communicating with Kim Soo-yeon, Yoon Hyun also understood the company's intentions.

  Although he himself doesn't mind, since the Baeksang Arts Awards incident last year, he has been almost entirely relying on his own efforts to carry out related entertainment activities. Except for occasionally asking Jung Misun to do some styling for him and using the recording studio in his company, he has hardly used any of LOEN's resources.

  But the value he created for LOEN is immeasurable.

  First of all, he helped the company successfully create IU's first album without pay. This album can be said to be entirely due to Yoon Hyun's efforts, so at least half of the income brought by IU to the company should be credited to him.

  Secondly, the revenue from music downloads on Melon is also a staggering figure.

  Finally, Yoon Hyun brought countless good influences for LOEN's overall image.

  Taking all these into account, LOEN Entertainment was born with a guiding principle of "even if the 4-year contract period is over, we must renew the contract with Yoon Hyun", and naturally, the emphasis and investment in Yoon Hyun changed from "properly inclined" to "cost-free".

  And so, there was this crazy album plan.

  "So many MVs, where are the scripts?" Yun Xian's next question came.

  "You write songs, you should also write the script." Kim Soo-hyun said with a smile. "You can invite any director to film it, as long as you can get them, the company will cover the costs."

  "So the company's attitude is that as long as it can be solved with money, it's not a problem?" Yun Xian joked.

  "That's probably what it means."

  "Last year when I went to attend the Grammy Awards ceremony, I met a director named Spielberg who had expressed that he had a great idea for my live performance of 'Rolling in the Deep', saying if he were to make an MV for that song, he would be very willing to give it a try..." Yoon Hyun said with a smile.

  "...Yoon Hyun-ji, you really hate LOEN Entertainment and want it to go bankrupt soon?" Kim Soo-young said, somewhat speechless.

  "I actually calculated it before. If this MV was entirely produced by DreamWorks, the estimated budget would be around $80 to 100 million dollars." Yoon Hyun quoted calmly.

  Kim Soo-hyun covered her face and ran away.
