Chapter 104: Counterattack (II) Grand Chapter

As of yesterday night, J.H still has not responded to SidusHQ's tough accusations of disrupting the market order, nor has he released any explanatory documents about the joint investigation team sent by the Performing Artists Association and the Cultural Promotion Agency, and relevant industry experts said that J.H's silence clearly shows its weakness in responding to SidusHQ's attack, which is a disproportionate war, and Ahn Joon-hyuk chose the wrong opponent at the wrong time. ”

Previously, it was analyzed that J.H's high-profile challenge to SidusHQ aimed at coercing the box office victory of "The King's Man", trying to get rid of the embarrassing situation of weak newcomers, establish their position in the industry as soon as possible, attract the favor of content providers (screenwriters, directors, etc.), and form a benign development of film and television production from the bottom content supply as soon as possible. But the current situation seems to suggest that J.H is not ready to confront the traditional giants, and that its only advantage after the split IHQ is the return on investment created by "The King's Man", which has been wiped out by the arrival of telecom giant SKT in IHQ......"

In the morning, the world was covered in rain and haze, and the humid world exuded a bleak smell, and the cold wind flew through the streets with thin rain, even in summer, the cold in the wind was still biting.

A few raindrops fell into his collar, and Kim Woo-jin, who was standing outside the shop window watching TV, shrunk his neck.

The dispute between J.H and SidusHQ quickly spread from entertainment news to the financial field within two days, after all, the two sides of the dispute, one is a rising star who made a lot of money with a movie and dominated 70% of the Korean film market in the first half of 06. The other is an established giant who has just broken free from the throes of division and is trying to regain his position.

The confrontation between the two sides is quite topical, especially in recent years, small brokerages and production companies have sprung up like mushrooms after a rain, a vigorous and thriving, while the market is in a state of depression due to the deficits of several major established companies that occupy a dominant position for many quarters, such a contradictory coexistence situation has made a considerable number of economic experts puzzled by the future development route of the entertainment industry. Discussions about trends such as the replacement and annexation of old and new companies have been going on since '05. Some believe that the depression of the market stems from the dominance of a few giants. As a result, they have lost their ability to compete, and the entertainment industry needs a fresh, more energetic blood injection, and some people tend to be the pain caused by the impact of the Internet. It is believed that established companies are more capable of surviving the painful period. Adapt to the impact of the rapid development of the Internet on the sales model of the traditional entertainment industry.

Under the premise of this. As the fastest-rising emerging company in recent years, J.H's move to "challenge" SidusHQ seems to be clouded with a fierce atmosphere of the war between the old and the new.

It's just a J.H. performance. It has disappointed supporters of the argument of injecting fresh blood into the market, and it has also exalted the traditional supporters.

On TV, the guests invited by the program talked eloquently with red faces: "...... I don't think it's inevitable for new companies to replace established companies, new companies represent young, and young also means inexperienced, just like J.H Company, its rise was instantaneous, it didn't go through some difficult situations, it didn't have a corporate culture that grew up in adversity, and its leaders were just as young and impatient as it was. I don't know if Ahn Joon-hyuk was premeditated when he chose SidusHQ to just come out of the predicament of splitting, but I would say that he had a good vision, but unfortunately he took too big a step all of a sudden, and the entry point he chose was stupid - he may not be aware of the restrictions imposed on the artists by the Performing Artists Association and the Cultural Promotion Agency, so much so that he shot himself in the foot!"

"Boom!"

The girl bit her lip and slammed her fist on the window, and the boss who was adjusting a TV in the window was startled, and then looked over with an unkind expression.

"I'm sorry! I'm sorry!"

The two friends who were originally watching TV with her hurriedly bowed and apologized to the boss in the window, dragging Jin Youzhen aside and persuading: "Don't be angry, those experts just eat by mouth, usually none of them scold on the show, even the president They are sarcastic, so why do you care about what they say!"

"I'm just angry!" Woo-jin was still glaring angrily at the so-called expert on TV, as if to write down his appearance, "What qualifications does he have to say that Junhyuk oppa!"

"Okay, okay, don't be angry, there's no need to be like this kind of person...... By the way, didn't you say that An Jia Xiaozhu was going to organize a demonstration today and go to the door of SidusHQ to protest their ban application......?

The friend tried to divert Youzhen's attention while persuading, but before she could finish speaking, another person stabbed her in the arm and whispered, "The demonstration has been canceled......"

"Uh, for what?"

The friend glanced at Youzhen, who had an ugly expression, and said in a low voice, "Haven't you read today's news? The entertainment pages of many portals have made headlines......

The voices grew quieter and quieter, and the two began to whisper.

You Zhen didn't need to listen, she knew what they were talking about, because she had seen the news published on those portals early in the morning!

From the early hours of the morning, I don't know which website to start, two news about Ahn Junhyuk occupied the headlines and popular searches in various communities, one was to break the news that Ahn Junhyuk had a background in crime in the tone of an anonymous insider, and the other was to list a large number of incidents, as well as the beginning of the war between J.H and SidusHQ, analyzing that Ahn Junhyuk and Lin Xiujing are very likely to be a couple.

These two pieces of news can be described as a fatal blow to the fans of An Jia Xiaozhu.

The previous one is nothing, there is no conclusive evidence for the revelations of the so-called insiders, Ahn Junhyuk's ANTI is huge, and the rumors that are more exaggerated than this are not unseen in the past, and every fan of Ahn Junhyuk has long been immune to this kind of "revelations".

However, the latter speculation about the relationship between him and Lin Xiujing made many fans powerless to refute.

Let's not mention the speculation reprinted in the article, about Ahn Junhyuk and Lin Xiujing since the cooperation in the drama "Right", some public photos and backstage photos of the changes in the standing, posture, and expression of the two. It's just that the fuse of this J.H and SidusHQ battle is enough to make fans feel uneasy.

Some netizens have questioned the relationship between the two before, but at that time, the market for similar remarks was not large, compared to the bombshell of the war between the two companies, the media was not interested in wasting reporting resources on ethereal scandals, until this time someone helped it spread behind the scenes.

What is Lin Xiujing?

Why did J.H reveal that he had signed a contract with Lin Xiujing, when SidusHQ announced that she and Rain would join the male and female protagonists of the new film?

Ahn Joon-hyuk and Rain are on the same page, and no one knows better than Ahn Jae-jaok's fans that they have had a fierce confrontation with "Cloud" on the Internet, and they have also had physical altercations with "Cloud". Today. The conflict between them and "Cloud" is still an important excuse for the government to promote the real-name system.

According to the speculation article, Ahn Junhyuk faced SidusHQ because of no complicated economic considerations. If it is just a simple relationship between signing and being contracted. Lin Xiujing's new drama is more conducive to J.H. There was no need for such a fierce objection, unless Ahn Joon-hyuk didn't want her to cooperate with Rain, the only possibility deduced from this argument. is that the two have an unusual intimate relationship - so close that both he and Lin Xiujing have to resolutely oppose SidusHQ's arrangement and rush to meet the battle, so as not to affect the emotional stability of the two.

Since the morning, An Jia Xiaozhu has been shrouded in chaotic panic, and the speculative article has rekindled the doubts and panic that all fans have hidden in their hearts and deliberately forgotten, and many support club cadres and fan club managers have also wavered because of increasingly strong doubts, and the management has been paralyzed, and the originally planned demonstration activities can no longer be organized, so they have to be temporarily canceled.

A gust of wind swirled from above, the flying rain, the cold temperature, the placket of the clothes lifted and fell, and the hair was blown, Youzhen looked at the sky, a little dazed.

Before coming out, the number of fans of An Jia Xiaozhu had begun to lose, and some of them were more pessimistic and less determined to cancel their accounts. The external troubles are still unclear, and the punishment of the Performing Artists Association and the Cultural Promotion Center hangs over the head like a sharp sword, and I don't know when it will fall.

She sighed......

……

……

For a whole day, Kim Youzhen wandered around aimlessly in the company of two friends, and received a lot of phone calls during the period, most of which were calls from the cadres of the Anjia Xiaozhu Fan Support Association and managers.

Since the establishment of J.H. Company and she took over the reorganization of Ahn Family Xiaozhu to make it official, all fans knew that she could contact Ahn Joon-hyuk, and at this time, they were shocked by the news that the idol might be in love, and naturally they were eager to get real information from her.

However, where did she know the truth?

But she still had to be reassured.

"It's absolutely impossible to fall in love, don't be too excited, are there fewer scandals about my uncle?" Ha Ji Won, Bo Ah, Bai Ji Young, and Lin Yun'er, don't they all prove that those scandals are all false...... Don't worry too much, Uncle and Lin Xiujing must be just friends, after all, they have cooperated, just like the relationship between Uncle and Jin Xuan'er, after "Jin Sanshun" was broadcast, didn't some people say that Uncle and Jin Xuan'er really did a fake show?

β€œβ€¦β€¦ Definitely not, just tell them to rest assured, now the most important thing for us is to stabilize the internal mood as soon as possible, and be consistent with the outside world, no matter what, we can't let them block the uncle......"

β€œβ€¦β€¦β€¦β€¦β€

One phone call after another, explaining over and over again, comforting, mobilizing, at the end of the day, the purpose of going out for a walk was not achieved, but she was tired physically and mentally, and when she came home in the evening, she took two mouthfuls of food, and Youzhen hid back in the bedroom, lay on the bed, took out her mobile phone that had finally quieted down, flipped through the address book, and finally stopped at a name where only she knew what Lu Dao meant, and hesitated to know if Lu Dao should make this call.

She also wanted to know the answer......

The chaos within Ahn Junhyuk's fan group attracted the attention of the outside world a day later, and then a number of portals also paid attention to the two pieces of news that caused fans to move.

Naver Entertainment mentioned this incident in the follow-up report on the JS battle (J.H and SidusHQ) that night. The writer cited it as another proof of J.H's inability to fight: "...... Compared with the expectations of the overall media attention at the beginning of the incident, J.H and Ahn Junhyuk himself were really disappointed, in the face of SidusHQ's offensive, J.H was forced into a desperate situation in a short period of time, and now it is even more revealed that Ahn Junhyuk and Lim so-jing's true relationship is a fierce news, J.H has slipped a step towards the road of failure......"

Not to be outdone, Paran's specially invited columnist was equally unrelenting: "On the third day of SidusHQ's ban request, J.H began to drift in silence, barely making any decent sound. Except for the clamor that is still fresh in people's minds at the beginning!"

One of the most prominent is Nate. This portal, which was developed from instant messaging software, happens to be an electronic content website operated by SKT, and it appeared in front of reporters in the most eye-catching place of the portal page two days ago. In the midst of crowding and chaos. A snapshot of a silent walk-on car as a background. The bright red title is so ridiculous -

- Is it the product of impulse? or is it deliberately eye-catching? JS "war" may just be a ridiculous, despicable hype!

It's not just the title that is unceremoniously ironic. The content is also full of bitterness.

The commenter said in the article: "...... J.H launched the so-called JS war with a strong attitude, but after a few days of development, we can already see its cowardice hidden in silence. It never made any remarks again, and the despicable act of arrogantly demanding that I be held legally accountable a few days ago has now become avoided under SidusHQ's powerful accusation of disrupting the market, and even the president has disappeared from public view, and the fan community has begun to panic...... Some people compare it to a rising star, but now it seems that it does not have that strength and courage, it is like a cowardly child who fell down the slide, lying on the ground and letting others watch and cry silently, and even more sadly, it can't even find 'mother', maybe SidusHQ should show the broad mind of its predecessors and give it a hug that can tell its grievances......"

Internal worries, external troubles, for a while, J.H was at a disadvantage from all angles.

This situation is in line with the expectations of the media, so no one is surprised, and the happiest about this are naturally Zheng Xuntuo and Choi Yongheng, although the two did not pay too much attention to J.H's provocation, but at the most critical moment of SidusHQ, it is obviously a tacit consensus to eliminate any opponent who challenges its position.

The victory of public opinion can prompt the joint investigation team of the Performing Artists Association and the Cultural Promotion Agency to come to a conclusion as soon as possible and introduce relevant punishment measures against J.H Company!

On the fourth day of the investigation team's stationing in the company, J.H sent an invitation to various media, saying that it would hold a press conference in the afternoon of the same day to make an important summary of the recent series of incidents with SidusHQ!

……

The venue of the press conference was arranged in the hall on the first floor of the building where J.H company was located, and the time went to the afternoon of the same day, and the media reporters who received the invitation and came one after another gradually dispelled the empty coldness of the hall, perhaps because of the temporary decision to hold a press conference, the layout of the press conference site was not exquisite, but simply built the rostrum and press seats.

But the reporters didn't care about the simplicity of the scene.

The invitation was wide-ranging, ranging from media outlets that had a relationship with J.H. and were relatively close to the company β€” such as Yahoo Korea β€” to Nate, which was basically the opposite.

"I don't know what important summary J.H wants to make, but even Nate's people sent an invitation, heh, don't you think they are sarcastic enough?"

"Maybe they can't bear the pressure and are ready to compromise in exchange for SidusHQ canceling the investigation application. ”

"How can it be so easy, SidusHQ is now in the upper hand, and still has the advantage of public opinion, how can it be so easy to let him go. ”

"Hehe, what do J.H people think, how can we know Lu Dao, their thinking is not on the same level as us, otherwise they wouldn't run to provoke I Society inexplicably...... Hey, if the content posted is really a compromise, what title should I think of? Ahn Joon-hyuk relented and slapped himself in exchange for forgiveness?"

"To exaggerate a little more, it's ruthless anyway. They don't have the time to mind......"

As more and more reporters arrived, the voices of communication, discussion, and chuckling were noisy in the hall, and the silence for several days made the reporters think of any other possibility at all, all signs indicated that J.H's defeat was imminent, and the investigation team, which had been stationed for four days, could come to a final conclusion at any time, and if he wanted to avoid double sanctions from the association and the Promotion Institute, self-slapping was J.H's only option.

Journalists from many media outlets β€” including Nate β€” were invited. It's just a joke to watch live. So the atmosphere is very relaxed.

In such a casual and playful discussion, the clock quickly walked to the official start of the press conference, and the reporters finally did not do it, and saved some face for J.H. The argument grew quieter. Finally calm.

Not much. Ahn Jun-hyuk, who had not appeared in front of the public for a few days, stepped onto the rostrum, surrounded by several executives of J.H Company.

The reporters in the audience were a little surprised to find out. Today's Ahn Jun Hyuk is different from the previous image of being mentally capable, his half-length hair is meticulously combed back, and he also wears a pair of flat glasses, and the whole person is a little less sharp, and the beautiful face that has attracted countless female fans is suddenly much softer.

…… Looks like I'm really going to give in......

At this moment, I don't know how many people in the audience have this idea in their hearts, some people secretly shake their heads, some sigh, some people gloat, and more people look at Ahn Junhyuk standing behind the rostrum as if they were lively, with a calm expression and a speech, and a sentence: Sure enough, he is an actor, he is really calm!

"Thank you for taking the time out of your busy schedule to attend the press conference. ”

The opening speech was as plain as water, and the occasional flash light did not have the atmosphere that the press conference should have, Ahn Jun-hyuk turned a blind eye to all this, looked down at the speech, and said word by word: "Today, in my capacity as the president of J.H., I release the following important informationβ€”β€”"

"Article 1: After two days of emergency consultations, J.H. Company, SM Company, and YG Company reached an agreement that this morning, as a content provider, jointly submitted an Anti-Monopoly Investigation Application to the Ministry of Information and Communications, the Ministry of Commerce, Industry and Energy, and the Fair Trade Commission, applying for an anti-monopoly investigation against Melon, an online music website owned by SKT. 2. Request that Melon be ordered to immediately stop abusing its dominant market position and deliberately lowering the price of online music downloads in accordance with the law. 3. Request that the respondent be punished with 5 billion won in accordance with the law, and that the three companies J.H, SM, and YG be compensated for a total of 1.5 billion won in economic losses......"

Quiescence......

Everyone in the audience was stunned, looking at Ahn Junhyuk, who was wearing glasses and looking quiet, all kinds of ridiculous and even terrible thoughts hit their minds.

Ahn Jun-hyuk ignored the shock and astonishment of the reporters below, and continued to read flatly: "Article 2, during the application submission, we have made a difficult decision, starting today, all music sources released by J.H, SM, and YG will be removed from the Melon website until Melon gives up manipulating the monthly price, or accepts anti-monopoly sanctions and publicly apologizes, I hope all fans can understand the inconvenience caused!"

"Article 3, I and my lawyer have submitted the Application for Anti-Monopoly Investigation to the Ministry of Information and Communications and the Fair Trade Commission this morning, as ordinary users of SKT contract machines, to apply for an anti-monopoly investigation of SKT, and we have made the following four requests: 1. Request for an anti-monopoly investigation of SKT. 2. Request to force SKT to immediately open the music download application interface of its contract machine and stop the monopolistic behavior of only supporting Melon download. 3. Request to order SKT to cancel the relevant application software that is forcibly bundled in the contract machine in accordance with the law, and return the user's right to choose. 4. Request that SKT be fined 10 billion won in accordance with the law, and publicly apologize to users!"

Sure enough, it was important information.

J.H Company ...... No, it's Ahn Joon-hyuk, is he crazy?

After the three messages were read out, An Junhyuk raised his head indifferently and helped his glasses, this calmness made everyone in the audience tremble!

Three pieces of information constructed a frightening madness, and everyone realized that his recent silence was not because he was afraid of SidusHQ, but because his goal was not on the I Society at all!

His silence was just carefully preparing a sword coated with poison, and then today, stabbing it into the heart of the giant behind SidusHQ!

This madman...... (To be continued......)

PS: The state is a little not very good, probably the hand is born again~
