008 A rough start
Recommended song: Fan Weiqi --- original dream
Yoon Yingjun's car drove to the destination, YJ Company. Li Zhunyi's recent residence is in a residential building less than 200 meters next to YJ's company, Yin Yingjun lives on the third floor, and Li Zhunyi's residence is the second floor of this building. Park Jae-bum also kept shouting that he would have to come to Lee Joon-yi's house to borrow it in the future.
At this moment, Lee Joon-yi has already determined that he can foresee the future. Along the way, Li Zhunyi tried several more times and came to such a conclusion. For example, in this house, Li Zhunyi accurately saw his residence, including the overall layout and orientation. Li Zhunyi found that if he wanted to foresee the future, he must be completely focused and not interrupted, and the time and place of foresight are uncertain, that is, he can see what he wants to see, the randomness is too great, and the uncertainty is too great. It can be said that although the future can be foreseen, it is equivalent to a chicken rib function, and it takes a lot of energy, which is really not worth it.
Unexpectedly, after beating Kim Jin-hyun and accidentally hitting his head, he can actually see the future, which can be regarded as a "harvest"? Thinking of this, Lee Joon-yi suddenly thought of the picture he saw in the afternoon, and Goo Hara will make his debut in the group Kara in the future. Lim Yoona and Kim Taeyeon should be in a combination called Girls' Generation, and they will also achieve the first good result. Park In-jung debuted in the T-ara group under the stage name of So-yeon. Park Jae-bum should also make his debut as a group in the future.
As for Han Xiuyun's picture, what is the significance, Li Zhunyi doesn't know, it's just a simple organization of on-site work, but looking at that scene, there are really a lot of people. Could it be that it is his own future concerts and fan meetings? Thinking of this, Li Zhunyi can only smile helplessly. Indeed, the picture I see has no time or place, although the picture is clear, but there is no overall context, it is equivalent to being useless. To put it simply, Goo Hara and Lin Yuna and others will indeed debut, but when they will debut, there is no way for Lee Joon-yi to see, so it is equivalent to saying it in vain.
Despite this, this chicken rib function still made Li Zhunyi smile. Lee Joon-yi, who is optimistic by nature, still looks at this matter from a positive perspective, after all, occasionally foreseeing the future, maybe you can see happy events, such as Gu Hara and others will definitely make their debut; maybe you can see danger, although you don't know the specific time, you can be careful to avoid it; maybe you can see the "heavenly machine", maybe you can also go to fortune telling. Li Zhunyi couldn't help but start pranking himself.
However, this idea only lasted in Li Junyi's mind for a while, and it was thrown out of his mind. Entered the new home, sorted out the luggage, cleaned up, and had a good meal with Yoon Young-jun and Park Jae-bum in the evening, and after dinner, Lee Joon-yi went back to the dormitory to say goodbye to everyone, which was an official farewell to the S.M company, and when it was time to rest, it was already more than two o'clock in the middle of the night.
Sitting in front of the bed, Lee Joon-yi recalled what happened today, things were a little too fast and complicated, he didn't get into the top three in the monthly test, he was expelled, he beat Kim Jin-hyun, hit his head so that he could foresee the future - chicken ribs, decided to join YJ's company, moved, and at night Goo Hara and Lim Yoona cried so much that their little faces were ...... Everything was crammed into one day, and it was really too crowded. Turning your head and looking at this unfamiliar environment, this is the starting point for a fresh start, and the future is just beginning. Thinking about it, Li Zhunyi fell asleep unconsciously.
The next day, Yin Yingjun was afraid that Lee Joon-yi would regret it, so he immediately came to Lee Joon-yi to sign a contract. Although Li Zhunyi has not signed an artist contract, he has heard Han Geng talk about some terms and conditions, and after a careful look, in fact, Yin Yingjun is good to Li Zhunyi, the contract is not formulated too ruthlessly, and the agent only takes 20% of the commission, which is a normal proportion of newcomers. However, the contract time was written for five years, which made Li Zhun Yi a little unacceptable.
After all, whether it is Yoon Young-hand, YJ's future, or his own future, Lee Joon-yi doesn't want to be decided like this. Moreover, although Yin Yingjun has quit gambling, he used to make a lot of money by discovering new people and then selling contracts with promising new people to large companies. Lee Jun-yi didn't want to be such a cargo himself.
After some discussion between the two of them, Yin Yingjun was almost inevitable for Li Junyi, and he actually gave in for the first time, which is obviously impossible in a large company. In a large company like S.M., there is no room for negotiation in the contract, and it must be signed unconditionally. It is only in YJ company that Yoon Young-jun and Lee Joon-yi will roll up their sleeves and bargain there. In the end, the term of the contract was set at two years, but the broker's commission was raised to 25%, which is already a harsh commission, and it can be said that Yin Yingjun is definitely making a lot of money.
For an artist, his income is not only how much money he gets from sponsors, TV stations, etc., but also how much money can go into his pocket. After deducting miscellaneous expenses such as brokers' commissions, company commissions, and personal income tax, the money in the hands of artists is almost less than 50%. In other words, the artist earned 100 yuan, and in the end it was less than 50 yuan in his pocket, and if it was a combination, it would be even more miserable if it had to be divided equally.
However, it stands to reason that albums and movies, including some advertising endorsements, are based on sales, and the appearance fees for movies, TV series and advertisements are set according to the level of the artist, that is, the higher the level of the artist, the higher the income. To put it simply, the more popular you are, the richer you are.
Therefore, Li Zhunyi exchanged 5% of his income for a short-term contract, which can be regarded as giving up most of his interests to ensure his freedom and future. If after two years, both parties are satisfied, the contract can naturally be renewed, and the conditions will be another matter at that time. In Lee's view, it's worth it.
In the following days, Yin Yingjun was busy, and the first step in recording the album was to collect the songs, collect the songs from various producers, composers, and lyricists, select suitable songs from them, position the album, record the songs, and the production of the album can be put into operation. So, no matter when, a good producer, a good composer and lyricist, is the most popular. The reason why developed music countries such as the United States and Japan can continue to lead the trend is because they have good producers.
Yin Yingjun said before that YJ has no resources and must borrow them, and what needs to be played now is Yin Yingjun's vast network system. At the same time, for Lee Joon-yi, things couldn't be simpler, practice, practice, practice. However, unlike the previous exercises, this time Lee Joon-yi is not practicing for the monthly test and debut, but for showing his better appearance. Now that it has been confirmed that he is going to make his debut, Lee Joon-yi must enhance his strength in the shortest possible time and strive to appear on the debut stage with the best attitude.
In addition to keeping in touch with Lim Yoon-a, Goo Ha-ra and others, the time for trainees from JYP to come to Lee Joon-yi skyrocketed. Ni Kun, like Park Jae-beom and Lee Joon-yi, is a foreigner. Nichkhun is Thai, grew up in the United States, his father is Thai, his mother is Chinese, and he is also related to Li Zhunyi. Three young people who are working hard in a foreign country, working together for a common goal, naturally cherish each other, and communicate more freely. Especially Nikun, who has only been in South Korea for less than a month now, and his Korean language skills are very poor, so Park Jae-bum and Lee Joon-yi, who are fluent in English, have become his best friends, and of course they can be regarded as Korean teachers. Li Zhunyi's hut has become the most frequent meeting place for the three of them in addition to the practice room.
After entering YJ's company, Li Zhunyi realized that he actually had a comrade-in-arms and a colleague. It is the trainee and staff member mentioned by Yin Yingjun last time, Lin Xiyuan. Lin Xiyuan is twenty-four years old this year, he was originally a trainee of YJ Company, but he has never had a good opportunity, and now he is too old to make his debut, and he is now working as Li Zhunyi's agent.
Although Lin Xiyuan is twenty-four years old, his cute baby face and lively and cheerful personality make him look about the same age as Li Zhunyi. Li Zhunyi and Lin Xiyuan are both extroverted and sunny personalities, so when they get together, they almost talk about everything, and they can't quarrel. Lin Xiyuan's name was personally chosen for him by his grandfather, who loved Chinese culture, and the people in their family were very fond of China, and Lin Xiyuan was very envious of Li Zhunyi's identity as an authentic Chinese. The two of them got along with each other, and they definitely laughed constantly, which also added some vitality to the deserted YJ company.
More than half a month after signing with YJ, Lee Joon-yi's life is not as difficult as he imagined, and he is a little easier and happier than when he was in S.M. I get along with my friends very happily, I am not lazy in my practice life, and my debut day is gradually coming, and Lee Joon-yi is indeed in a good mood.
However, after leaving S.M Company and signing with YJ Company, the pace of his debut was destined not to be so smooth, not to mention, Lee Joon-yi also beat Kim Jin-hyun twice, which was not for nothing.
"Zhun Yi, did something unpleasant happen between you and Kim Jin-hyun?" Yin Yingjun frowned slightly, and his expression was not very good. Li Zhunyi did not hide it and told the events of the day. There were only three people present that day, Lee Joon-yi, Kim Jin-hyun and Park Sung-joon, and outsiders did not know that Lee Joon-yi beat Kim Jin-hyun, Kim Jin-hyun felt ashamed and would not say it, and Park Sung-joon was not a person who chewed the root of his tongue, so the matter was not publicized.
Hearing Li Zhunyi's explanation, Yin Yingjun nodded and suddenly realized, "No wonder." It turned out that in the past half a month, Yin Yingjun has not touched the nail less, and he was actually voted back by all the producers, and no one was willing to make songs for them. At first, Yin Yingjun thought that it was because YJ had not improved for too long, and the producers were unwilling to give this face, so Yin Yingjun repeatedly emphasized that this time he was not only starting again, but also really finding good seedlings. But the result is still the same, refusal.
After a tortuous side knock, I found out that it was Kim Jin-hyun who said that he was not allowed to give Lee Joon-yi a tune, otherwise he would not be able to get along with S.M Company. Although everyone wondered why Kim Jin-hyun wanted to ban a trainee, the producers were very curious and didn't ask much. For the sake of a little-known trainee, as well as the declining YJ company and Yin Yingjun, it is obviously not a cost-effective business to offend the increasingly powerful S.M company. So the result is that Yin Yingjun's ending of collecting songs for more than half a month is actually zero gain.
"Then what should I do now?" Lin Xiyuan also frowned, worried about Li Zhunyi.
This is a really difficult start.
