Chapter 117
People will always grow, nothing is always the same, just like in a person's life, in fact, every day is slightly different from the previous day's appearance, diet, mood, weather, and even the person's own facial bones and muscle groups are making subtle changes every moment.
Sometimes when you see a friend you haven't seen for a long time, you suddenly feel very strange, not because he has faded in your memory, but because he is different from your memory.
It's the same with personality, everyone has a similar experience - there was a time when you were madly liking or adoring someone, eager to know everything about him or her, chasing after him or her like an endless long run, once fanatical you thought that there would never be an end to this road, and your admiration and adoration would never fade.
But when the relentless footsteps of time have come round and round, and the once only road begins to diverge in many directions, you no longer have to chase a monotonous back that you can't get close to for several years, and there are more magnificent scenery in the distance, so how many people can ignore everything and remain steadfast?
Then there will be weariness, weariness, abandonment.
Ahn Jun Hyuk never thinks that his fans will always be his fans, approaching, or leaving, is an inevitable part of growing up, so he never pushes and doesn't think about how to keep fans by his side.
Because that's what you are not destined to do.
All he can do is he shows up to them when they cheer him on, and he stands by them when they need support, or. They fell, and he went and helped them up.
"Get up, stop crying. β
Because Ahn Joon Hyuk walked out of the security guard's isolation circle and almost went crazy, the fans who kept screaming and crowding suddenly quieted down in his faint laughter, and in the center of everyone's sight, the crying girl raised her head, and there was still a little pain on her body, that was the remnant of the pain of falling down before and being hit by the people behind her, but now. There was a large blank space around her. There was silence in the air.
There was a man crouching in front of him, his eyes blurred with tears, and he couldn't see his face clearly, only the familiar voice.
"Did it hurt?"
She subconsciously shook her head. Subsequently. The man had one hand on her head. Rubbing her hair, she laughed softly: "Let's go wash your face in a while, cry like a little flower cat." β
The girl snorted. Nodding dumbly.
The next moment, the man smiled and put the broken camera in front of her, "It's still usable, just change the lens, but it seems that you have to save pocket money for a while, I'm afraid you won't be able to catch up with my concert in Japan." β
Around the two of them, the fans who were originally either guilty or moved and silently looked at him and the little girl, suddenly commotion after these words, a girl closest to Ahn Junhyuk, hesitated, but couldn't help but break the silence and asked loudly: "Will Uncle hold a concert in Japan?"
Ahn Junhyuk, who stood up, glanced around, looked at the expectant faces in his line of sight, and nodded: "Yes, this time, I will release a record here and hold my first solo concert, so don't crowd it, we will have the opportunity to meet in the future." After that, he looked back at the airport manager who had just breathed a sigh of relief, but his face was still pale, and joked: "Okay, please let go, we have delayed the airport for a long time, and if we continue like this, people will drive us away." β
Over there, the person in charge of the airport immediately smiled bitterly, because he clearly saw several fans glaring angrily at him, but at the same time, a big stone in his heart also fell.
Although there were some surprises, Ahn Junhyuk, who had expressed his willingness to cooperate, did not "cooperate", but fortunately, there were no unwanted things to happen, and Ahn Junhyuk helped the girl and said the previous paragraph, which really made those fans make way for them.
Although the screams and cheers still hit the eardrums, and the fans followed wherever they went, no one stopped them, and the next escort mission went very smoothly.
has been escorting Ahn Jun-hyuk out of the terminal, the car sent by J.H to pick up the airport has been waiting outside, seeing Ahn Jun-hyuk get into the car, as the door closes, starts, and drives on the highway, the shouting behind him that I don't know how long has lasted has finally weakened, and the gathered crowd has begun to disperse, and the person in charge wiped his head and was relaxed.
Not to mention the person in charge of the airport who finally put his mind at ease, Ahn Jun-hyuk, who was in the car, looked at Che Won-sung and Kwon Bo-geun who were driving in front: "Why is it only the two of you? Didn't Jisoo say that he would come to pick me up?"
"Before we came, we received a message that there were a lot of fans here to pick up the airport, so I didn't let the lady come. The answer was Kwon Bo-geun, who has also stayed in Tokyo for the past month to discuss cooperation with Sony Music Tokyo.
At present, the three singers launched by J.H Music have all achieved great success in South Korea, especially Bigbang, which fermented in a month, "Lies" J.H Music sold hundreds of thousands of physical DVDs (including the music video for the single, the unreleased part of the debut record, and some reshoots, which were actually sold at the price of a mini-record) in just two months of the single's sales period.
So far, the number of digital single sales announced by the Recording Industry Association, "Lies" topped the list with 1.5 million downloads and more than 2.6 million mobile subscriptions (RBT).
The success of TVXQ last year made Ai Hui a lot of money, and the Japanese music industry can no longer ignore the growing influence of the Korean wave, and many record distribution companies, including Sony, have set their sights on Korean boy bands, hoping to dig up the next TVXQ.
Bigbang obviously has such potential, and this month, J.H Music and Sony Music have changed from the initial intention to contact and turn into formal negotiations - not only Bigbang's future debut cooperation in Japan, Sony Music also wants to win the agency rights of all J.H Music's future artists in Japan.
"This negotiation is more troublesome, Sony means. In order to ensure the cooperation between the two parties, they want to make a contribution to the board of directors of J.H Music. After a few words of greeting Ahn Jun-hyuk, Kwon Bo-geun's topic shifted to work.
Ahn Joon-hyuk also knows a little bit about these things, even if most of his energy is on Facebook and Jmap in the past month, he can't ignore J.H, and he also held a conference call a week ago to listen to reports from various departments.
However, he had just heard about the negotiation conditions proposed by Sony, and pondered it. He looked at Quan Baogen: "What do you mean?"
"Deepen cooperation. Personally, I agree, after all, if we want to open up overseas markets, we need the support of local forces...... But Sony wants to participate in ......" Speaking of this, Kwon Bo Geun was a little hesitant. What he hesitated about was not the stake itself. It is a matter of course for the industry to cooperate with each other to hold shares. Just like SM and Ai Hui, they also have mutual holdings to maintain the alliance.
Ahn Jun-hyuk thought for a moment. I understood what he was hesitating and asked, "How much are they asking?"
"$20 million......" Kwon replied, then added: "Buy 10% of J.H Music." β
"Heh!" Ahn Jun-hyuk smiled and didn't say anything more, but Kwon Baogen, who had followed him for several years, immediately understood what he meant-this matter is yellow.
However, Kwon Bo Geun also understands that it is impossible for Ahn Jun Hyuk to agree to this condition, 20 million was placed 2 months ago, which may indeed be enough for 10% of J.H Music's shares, the valuation given by some institutions in South Korea at the beginning, the full value of J.H Music, only those music source copyrights, they are worth 200 billion won. But now, with Baek Ji-young, Yoon Mi-rae and Bigbang, J.H Music's market value has far exceeded it.
Not to mention anything else, Bigbang's "Lies" single DVD has not made much money due to the recording of music videos and the release of DVD formats, but thanks to vertical sales methods such as the download of J.H. Bugs and the mobile subscription service after Melon opened the interface, it has generated more than 14 billion won in revenue for J.H Music in two months.
Converted to about $12 million, this part is net profit because the cost is almost zero, plus other income such as merchandise sales, announcement fees, TV programs, and radio on-demand, even if it is divided equally with YG, J.H Music has generated tens of millions of dollars in revenue in the two months after the launch of Bigbang.
With such a combination in hand, $20 million is a bit dismissive even for Quan Baogen.
It's just that Quan Baogen is still a little regretful, J.H Music has no roots overseas, Sony is the most ideal partner so far, if it can't be negotiated, then J.H Music's overseas expansion, I'm afraid it will be a little difficult.
After thinking about it, he was about to speak, but Ahn Junhyuk in the back seat waved his hand: "Work matters, let's talk about it in detail tomorrow! This time, Zhengxu finished his studies ahead of schedule and will rush back to China soon, Uncle Baogen, you can arrange it." β
ββ¦β¦ Yes, President!" Kim Jung-wook's mission to return to China, Kwon Bo-geun also knew a little bit about it, and while bowing his head, he looked behind him from the rearview mirror, sitting next to Ahn Jun-hyuk, a young man in his early 30s who didn't say a word.
In the past, he had never taken this person seriously, but since Ahn Junhyuk's series of actions in the United States came back, no one in J.H's company dared to ignore this young man.
The influence of Jmap will prompt the J.H network in which he presides over will be at the core of the J.H Group in the future! Kim Jung-wook himself may also enter the absolute high-level sequence of the group company in the future.
These days, Kwon Bo-geun recalled many times, reflecting on whether he had offended Kim Jung-wook before, but fortunately, the result was neither good nor bad, he rarely paid attention to this person before, therefore, the relationship between the two sides is still in an ordinary stage, and the most they can do when they meet is to nod and say hello, and they have not talked deeply, so naturally they can't say that they are good or bad.
β¦β¦ In the future, it is time to contact more feelings......
He thought.
Ahn Jun-hyuk, who was sitting in the back, didn't care about Quan Baogen's thoughts, as long as the water was clear, there were no fish, as long as he didn't exceed the bottom line, he would turn a blind eye to some behaviors of fighting for power and profit, and forming gangs.
The car drove up the highway, turned around, the figure of the terminal gradually narrowed in the field of vision, the sunset crossed the mountains on the horizon, the shadow of the tall building cast on the orange ground, and in the rear, some cars chased after it, it should be those fans - Ahn Jun-hyuk saw one of the box cars, someone came out of the sunroof of the roof, and took pictures here.
"The charm of the chairman is strong everywhere!" Kim Jung-wook, who also saw all this, made a joke.
Ahn Jun-hyuk smiled, "I haven't been talking since I got in the car, just thinking about this?"
"Oh, no. Kim Jung-wook scratched his head, thought for a while, and said, "I was just thinking about helping the girl pick up the camera at the airport...... I saw in the crowd, and there was a reporter on the other side of the passage, President, you only picked up the camera for her, why don't you pay for one directly? For you, the money for a camera is nothing, but it can greatly improve your image!"
Ahn Joon-hyuk stared at him, "What do you think...... I'm putting on a show?"
"Uh......" Kim Jung-wook was a little embarrassed when he asked him directly, he tried to organize the language, and was about to say something, but Ahn Jun-hyuk had already turned his head.
"Zheng Xu, have you ever liked any celebrities?"
Jin Zhengxu thought about this strange question for a long time before he said embarrassedly: "Is Teresa Teng counted? I liked her very much when I was young." β
"What about now? Do you feel that it was particularly naΓ―ve and unbearable to look back on?"
ββ¦β¦ No!" Kim Jung-wook thought, "After all, it was a long time ago, and now that I think about it, I remember it a lot...... People have already passed away, and when they think of what happened at that time, most of them will smile, and sometimes they will be a little melancholy. β
"Oh!"
Ahn Joon-hyuk stopped talking.
People are indeed fickle, no one will like a star for a lifetime, and no star can win all fans for a lifetime, some people will eventually leave, as a former admirer, he can do the most, that is, let them smile when they are tired of it and occasionally think about it again. (To be continued......)
