Chapter 16: The Debut Stage (4) (Grand Chapter)
Yesterday I worked overtime, and I was tired and came home late, and these two chapters were deleted and changed to fall asleep halfway...... I slept on my stomach until more than 5 o'clock, and now my back hurts...... (╯_╰)
It's not divided into chapters, but it's sent together!
===============
The corridor of the area where the several rows of standby rooms are located in the background looks very tidy, and there are a lot of people coming at this time, the doors of several standby rooms are wide open, and there are singers or assistants in singing costumes and people dressed as agents coming and going, and there are also a few people in the corridor who are wandering and pacing with words, perhaps grinding guns in battle, or even decompression methods when they are nervous.
Most of these people An Junhyuk don't know, there are many singers in the ballad industry, even if he once asked Quan Baogen to come to the information for surprise training, at this time, he suddenly put on makeup one by one, and he couldn't tell the difference between the ugly and the ugly. Fortunately, they have just arrived, and when they see it, they don't have to really call out who their surnames are, no matter which one they are, they just bow and call their seniors when they meet, anyway, according to Ahn Junhyuk's understanding, he is the only singer who has debuted recently, and there is no one lower than him.
All the way, surrounded by Kwon Bo-geun, Kim Hoon, and Choi Sung-woo, they kept bowing and saying hello, and came to the door of a waiting room, where a plastic door number was pasted on the closed door panel, and the words "Ahn Junhyuk" were written on it.
Ahn Jun-hyuk smiled.
Speaking of which, KBS treats him very sincerely, and some time ago he cooperated with the company to help him hype, not to mention, and the treatment he gave him on the debut stage did not look like a newcomer at all. The strict barriers between seniors and seniors in the music industry are not only reflected in the etiquette of singers' daily meetings, but also in the difference in treatment.
For example, the average senior, even if the popularity is no longer and the album sales are not good, when you go to any of the three major TV stations to play songs, the program team will also serve them properly, and there are certain preferential treatment in the single standby room, the planning and arrangement of stage effects, and the order of singing appearances. On the contrary, if you are a newcomer, no matter how popular your debut is and how popular the album is, you must behave in a good way when you come to the TV station.
The last time I was on a plane to Tokyo, when I was chatting with Kim Jun-so, Ahn Jun-hyuk heard him say that when they first debuted, the three groups shared a waiting room, and everyone was so crowded that they couldn't sit down, and they had no place to touch up their makeup or eat something, which was extremely inconvenient.
What is such a crowded and embarrassing scene, Ahn Junhyuk can't understand it.
Looking at the door number with only his name, he casually put away the mobile phone that had just received the text message, opened the door and walked in.
In the huge standby room, the faint and bright cold lights shine all over the corners, a few simple sofas are scattered around, and there are three dressers in a row on the right hand, the mirror is bright, it looks clean and tidy, but it looks a little stiff and cold.
Bao'er, who had come over a long time ago, was already waiting inside with one of her Japanese agents, and when Ahn Junhyuk and the others came in, the two were chatting in Japanese, and when they heard the movement of opening the door and turned their heads, Bao'er shouted angrily: "The big star is so big, let us wait for a few hours before coming over, just now I told the agent that if you don't come in another 10 minutes, I'll leave!"
Ahn Jun-hyuk smiled and said, "Okay, mine isn't, haven't you had lunch yet?" Brother Cheng Yu, please go and order some takeout." ”
At this time, it was noon, and Cui Chengyu, who came in behind him, put down the things he was carrying, and went out with a promise.
Bao'er was not polite to him, and when he came in, she sat down next to him and asked, "When is the music bank arranging for you to appear?"
The order of the singer's appearance is particularly important, similar to the general event, at the beginning of the warm-up stage, the stage in the warm-up stage is basically the second and third line of small singers, the more to the back, the bigger the name, although the real popularity is not based on this order, but people live a face, I think no one wants to be placed in an order that does not meet the fame. …,
But Ahn Jun-hyuk didn't have to worry, when he heard Bao'er ask, he raised three fingers: "The third-to-last!"
"Ha, does the program team owe you money?" Bao'er pouted, a little jealous, "What didn't I do when I debuted, why didn't they just let you finale?"
Ahn Junhyuk smiled slightly, of course the finale is impossible, the third-to-last is probably the best effort that the program team can do, even if there are no big-name predecessors in this episode, but it is not that he can reach the sky in one step as a newcomer, after all, there is still a great god here!
Temporarily put down those thoughts in his chest, Ahn Jun-hyuk chatted with Bao'er for a while, Choi Sung-woo, who went out to order takeout, came back with large and small lunch boxes, and a group of people ate some casually in the standby room, and it didn't take long to hear the noise outside the door, Kwon Bo-geun went out and asked, it was the rehearsal that began, but Ahn Jun-hyuk didn't need to worry, his rehearsal time was relatively late, and now the most important thing is to take the album CD to visit the seniors.
The CD was prepared a few days ago, and it is no different from the A version currently on the market, except that Ahn Junhyuk wrote some greetings on the cover, such as congratulatory messages and asking XX seniors to take care of them in the future.
The prepared CD was full of a backpack, which was carried by Choi Sung-woo, while Kwon Bo-geun accompanied Ahn Jun-hyuk and visited the waiting room one by one. Bao'er also wanted to follow, she knew very well the role of her follow-up this time, but Ahn Jun-hyuk refused.
It's not machismo, thinking that protecting a woman under her wing is detrimental to her dignity, but it's the first time a newcomer visits, and he always has to lower his posture to make the seniors comfortable, isn't it?
Thinking about it, the publicity has been so powerful since yesterday, and the singers who are singing today already know that Dao Bao'er will come to support him as a junior brother, even if he has a little brain, he doesn't dare to do anything even if he doesn't like him.
Of course, not everyone is so self-aware, and there may be people who are hot-headed, jealous of the generous treatment given to him by the music bank program team, sneering at him and even punishing him for standing in the corner and squatting on the horse.
Fortunately, such brain-dead people have not encountered it today.
"Hello seniors, I'm Ahn Jun-hyuk, a newcomer who just debuted, this is my debut album, please take care of my seniors in the future!"
"Hehe, it's too polite, it's too polite, and I bothered Ahn Jun Hyuk Xi to come over. This is my new album, please accept it by Ahn Joon Hyuk. ”
“……”
"Hello senior, I'm ......"
"How are you...... The song is very good, I also contributed some music sources, it's not a loss to receive this album from you, haluha!"
“……”
Knocking on the door, bowing, and politely visiting all the way, most of them are smiling and friendly.
In this issue of the music bank, only Cao Chengmo is really above the first line, and Ahn Junhyuk, who is still a newcomer, because the album is selling well, it is barely half. At that time, the company arranged for him to debut in March, and it was also because he saw that there were no big-name singers during this time, and the competitiveness was small. Although the qualifications have nothing to do with the big names and big names, but eating this line of food, no matter how high the seniority is, no matter how deep the qualifications, you must have the support of popularity to straighten your waist, Ahn Junhyuk, who won the weekly championship on the second day of the release of the debut album, sees that the future is immeasurable, these have been mixed in the circle for a long time, and all of them have been ground into human spirits, probably because they feel that there is no need to have a bad relationship with him, so as not to be unhappy in the future, even if a few people are a little cold, but the action of visiting is always smooth and smooth.
The last one to visit is today's well-deserved god!
Outside a closed standby room, Ahn Junhyuk, who had just finished visiting the two singers in the waiting room next to him, followed by Kwon Bo-geun and others, had just appeared at the door, and some of the singers who saw them in the corridor around couldn't help but show strange expressions and whispered. …,
Ahn Jun Hyuk's ears were very sharp, and although those people deliberately lowered their voices, they still let him hear something:
“…… I heard that the fan base of the two of them has done it......"
"Huh...... I saw it on the news, and it's hot on the Internet......"
"Who do you think can hold down who when we meet?"
"Nonsense, that's Cao Chengmo......"
Cao Chengmo!
Hearing this name, Ahn Jun-hyuk was a little helpless.
Yes, one of the highest-ranking seniors today is this crown prince of love songs. He also chose the music bank as his return stage, but I don't know whether it was the music bank that fought for it, or Cao Chengmo took the initiative to public relations.
If it's the former, it's normal, but if it's the latter, then it seems a little troublesome for Ahn Jun-hyuk.
It's not that he's afraid of the crown prince, but now the positions of the two sides are a little embarrassing, I have to say that Park Jinying did choose a good time, Cao Chengmo, who released the film in a low-key manner, was promoted by him and attracted the attention of many media.
They don't care what their predecessors are or not, they only know that this love song crown prince will seriously affect the album sales of their idols, and will also block the chances of "1 Minute and 1 Second" winning an honor in major programs. If the release time had been determined a long time ago, it would have been fine, but the other party launched the album too suddenly, and among some Ahn Jun Hyuk fans, they will inevitably maliciously speculate whether the senior is deliberately like this and wants to suppress the juniors.
It's not like something like this hasn't happened before, artists are also people, and there are too many narrow-minded people in the music industry.
Although Ahn Junhyuk knew that Cao Chengmo had no intention of suppressing it, the two actually released the film on the same day, and this crash was just a coincidence, but this kind of thing can't be said publicly, and he has no evidence to prove that those media hype Cao Chengmo's new album is manipulated by JYP behind his back, and he may be beaten upside down by that Park orangutan if he talks casually.
With such malicious speculation, his fans will inevitably be slightly unhappy with Cao Chengmo, and the tone is of course not very good when he talks about it, and even some people verbally attack him, as the king of love songs who have been famous for many years, although Cao Chengmo is not an idol singer and is not a die-hard man, but the fan base is not weak, and the two sides immediately clashed, and now they are scolding each other on the Internet, and even the media are reporting it.
Although this incident is the behavior of some fans and has nothing to do with Ahn Jun Hyuk himself, in the eyes of others, his fans represent him.
Thinking about Cao Chengmo, no matter how lonely he is, he will not be ignorant of the "An Cao fan scolding incident" that has made a lot of noise on the Internet, An Junhyuk doesn't know what the other party's heart is, if he is tolerant and generous, and a little more careful, I am afraid that he will have a grudge against him.
It's not a happy thing to make a big friend when you just debut, the other party's seniority is too big, if you really deliberately make it difficult, even the program team of the music bank is not easy to come forward to protect it, after all, it is natural for seniors to teach younger generations.
The company asked Bao'er to return to China to support him in his busy schedule, obviously also taking care of this, if it wasn't for the fact that he couldn't perform on the same stage, maybe he would also call back Kangta, the Zhenshan artifact that was active in Taiwan, to escort him.
Kangta debuted two years earlier than Cao Chengmo, and even if the results are not comparable, the qualifications are enough to suppress people.
Of course, if possible, Ahn Junhyuk doesn't want the position of the two to develop to that extent, he doesn't want to have a senior who thinks about him every day in the future, after receiving the news yesterday, he also thought about whether he could get on the line and communicate with Cao Chengmo, after all, there is not much conflict between them, everything is a misunderstanding guided by others.
According to his knowledge, at the end of last year, in order to enter the mainland market, he cooperated with Cao Chengmo to endorse a clothing brand in that country, and maybe the two have a good relationship. …,
It's a pity that the news that Ha Ji Won replied to made him a little disappointed, the relationship between the two sides was only that cooperation, and it was decided by the brokerage companies to which the two belonged, and they never contacted each other since, and the friendship was not deep enough to help him match.
It seemed that he had also heard the words of those people, standing outside the door, and before knocking on the door, Quan Baogen whispered, "Do you want to call Bao'er first?"
An Junhyuk thought about it, but still shook his head and said, "Let's take a look at the situation first!"
I don't know Cao Chengmo's attitude, if Bao'er is called at this time, it will inevitably make people think that he is suspected of provocation, even if there is room for relaxation, it will be crowded out.
Thinking about it, in Quan Baogen's somewhat nervous expression, he knocked lightly on the door, and after a while, he heard a clear voice inside: "Please come in!"
The voice is very familiar, and I started listening to the lyrical songs sung by this voice when I was in junior high school, and I won't admit it wrongly, but as soon as it fell into my ears, Ahn Junhyuk understood that the person who spoke inside was the crown prince of love songs.
Taking a slight breath, An Junhyuk pushed open the door, and immediately bowed with a respectful and upright posture: "Senior Cao Chengmo, I am a newcomer who has just debuted An Junhyuk, I meet for the first time, please take care of my seniors in the future!"
Quan Baogen and the others who followed behind him also bowed.
The words fell, there was no response for a long time, the air was quiet as if it was stagnant, and as time passed, Ahn Junhyuk's heart became heavier and heavier.
It doesn't seem to be any better......
As soon as such a regretful thought floated, I heard a female voice in the front room suddenly laugh "heh", this time it seemed to light the fuse, paused for a moment, "Ha Lu Ha ......", more laughter broke out, and the depressing atmosphere that seemed to be solidified before was suddenly torn apart.
"Hey, what are you doing to scare him!" this is Cao Chengmo's dissatisfied shout.
"Huh...... I'm sorry, I'm too familiar with him, I haven't seen him so cautious for a long time, and I can't help it...... Ha Lu Ha!"
"Every time we meet, I feel quite inferior when I see his mature appearance, and now I ...... Hehe, suddenly I feel a sense of accomplishment!"
"Guess what he was thinking, if Helin doesn't laugh, do you think he'll cry a little later?"
"You think it's you, a muscular coward. ”
Hailin ...... And these voices......
Ahn Jun-hyuk, who was still bowing and bowing his head, paused for a moment in his thoughts, and then began to run lively again. At this time, if he still doesn't understand, he can die, obviously he is a wise man, he was colluded by a bunch of guys to play a little trick!
"This bunch ......"
He sighed, but at the moment of this sigh, his heart was warm and moist, and a high hanging stone quietly fell to the ground.
……
Raising his head, the originally spacious standby room was already crowded, and on the sofas not far from the door, several familiar faces were looking at him jokingly or funny, Ha Ji Won, Baek Ji Young, Kim Jong Kook, Sung Shijing, Cho Seongmo, and ...... So Ji-sub!
I hadn't seen him for a few months, and at this time, on that slightly blessed face, his eyes narrowed, and he looked at him with a slight smile.
The impact of a moment made Ahn Jun-hyuk a little stunned, and then he came to his senses, and suddenly smiled in surprise: "Why is Brother Ji-sub here too?"
Su Ji-sub, who was slightly shorter, patted him on the back, and his tone was also very happy: "You made your ballad debut, how could I not come to such a big thing?" Speaking of this, I haven't settled accounts with you yet!" A punch was punched on Ahn Junhyuk's shoulder, and he said dissatisfiedly: "I just talked on the phone a few days ago, and I didn't even tell me, if it weren't for the fact that I still often pay attention to the news in the entertainment industry, and Hailin also called me, I wouldn't have known that Lu Dao was your debut stage today." ”…,
An Junhyuk didn't excuse his seemingly dissatisfied behavior because he was afraid that he would not be able to take leave, but he just looked at him a few times, looked at his ruddy complexion, and his skin was recuperating and fair, and smiled: "Brother is recuperating well, so I can rest assured." ”
"Hehe, I have to thank you for helping me find a good errand, sitting in the office every day, now I can't be better, I have a fat body!" Su Zhixie patted his thick arms, and he was really fat.
Several people next to them were smiling and looking at the two of them, the relationship between Ahn Junhyuk and Su Ji-sub, they had also heard Ha Ji-won talk about it, and they also understood Ahn Jun-hyuk's behavior when he came in without greeting them first, and even like Kim Jong-kook and Cho Chengmo, they were still a little envious, of course, they were envious of Su Ji-sub, not everyone had a good friend of Lu Ziguang, and they could easily arrange to sit in the office when they were in the service. The two of them will also start preparing for service at the end of the year, imagine the hardships in the future, and compare it with Su Ji-sub, who is now more and more nourishing in service, how can it be possible not to envy.
On the contrary, Ha Ji Won was not satisfied with being ignored, and shouted: "Ah, you two don't have a lot of flesh, Ahn Jun Hyuk, I finally arranged a surprise for you, and I didn't even say hello when I came in, I really hurt you in vain!"
Too lazy to complain about her with an elder tone, An Junhyuk glanced at her lazily, "Surprise...... Heh, I still mention this, didn't I say that I only worked with Cao Chengmo's predecessor once, and I never contacted him again? Yesterday I was sorry and sorry on the phone, so embarrassed that I was embarrassed, you, sure enough, the acting school!"
"We've only worked together once. Ha Ji Won winked innocently, "It's okay that I haven't been in touch since that time!"
As soon as the words fell, without waiting for An Junhyuk to speak, Cao Chengmo over there looked helpless: "Of course I haven't been in contact, you came to the door directly, what I regret the most in my life is that I shouldn't have heard Zhixie talk about you the year before last, and I was curious and asked him to ask you out to get to know you...... Tell me how many times you have bullied me this year, alas, I regret not being at the beginning!"
"Ha Luha!" Several people laughed, Ha Ji Won kicked him dissatisfied, and Cao Chengmo immediately hugged his legs and shouted: "Look, come again!"
"Call me to kill you again!"
"Whatever you want, more than a hundred pounds here, I don't want to live for a long time anyway. Cao Chengmo hummed lazily, then looked at An Junhyuk and pouted: "Don't have much contact with this guy in the future, you are still young, don't go astray." ”
"Damn it, stinky man!"
"Ah, Tian Hailin, your blow is too wide!"
Ahn Jun-hyuk smiled and watched them quarrel a few words, and then the war expanded, and even a few people who were watching the battle were also involved in the battle group, among which Cheng Shijing, Kim Jong Kook and Cao Chengmo were probably more familiar with each other, and they laughed at each other, and after a while, they united to fight against Ha Ji Won, but Ha Ji Won may indeed not be able to say anything about them, but she will do it regardless of her, and once the words are exhausted, they will fly and kick away, and they will fight equally.
Only So Ji-sub didn't get involved and talked to Ahn Joon-hyuk beside him.
"Brother and Cao Chengmo's predecessors are friends?"
As soon as Ahn Junhyuk spoke, So Ji-sub knew what he wanted to ask and nodded, "Well, it's my good friend." I know about the scolding of fans on the Internet, don't worry, Chengmo won't take those things to heart, and with us, even if he feels uncomfortable for a while, he won't be angry with you. ”
Listening to the meaning of his words, he obviously noticed that Cao Chengmo's hair film was hyped by the media, and there was something greasy behind it. If you think about it carefully, it's normal, several people have been in the entertainment industry for several years and have experienced many ups and downs. Company M is so vast and transparent, and you can infer something from experience.
But it is impossible to say that Cao Chengmo is not angry with him at all, Ahn Junhyuk can feel that Cao Chengmo does not have a good impression of himself, and he is not surprised by this, after all, his fans are still attacking him on the Internet, and no matter how broad-minded a person is, he will be a little unhappy. The reason why he didn't show it, and he was able to joke with him just now, was obviously for the sake of Su Ji-sub and Ha Ji-won. …,
As if guessing what he was thinking, Su Zhixie smiled and said, "Actually, you should thank yourself the most." ”
"Huh?"
"You helped Baek Ji-young make a single, right?"
"Well, that's right. ”
"Bai Zhiying talked about the distribution company of Haolu, which is the firm responsible for the new college of Chengmo. Hehe, she has been silent for so many years, even our friends dare not help her, but you dare, this alone is worthy of his high glance at you. As he spoke, he patted Ahn Joon-hyuk on the shoulder.
Ahn Jun Hyuk's heart was finally put back in his stomach, and he was about to say something more, when the door of the waiting room suddenly opened, and a staff member of the program team leaned into half of his body.
The lively waiting room was silent for a while, and several people turned their heads to look, and under the light, several big-name stars obviously shocked him, and the staff looked obviously a little hesitant, and Ai Ai looked at Ahn Junhyuk for a while: "Uh...... Ahn Joon-hyuk, I've finally found you, please prepare, and I'll be there for your rehearsal right away. ”
"Oh, what a shame!"
Ahn Jun-hyuk agreed, and was about to say goodbye and leave, but when he turned around, he saw Kim Jong-guk, Sung Shi-kyung, Cho Seong-mo and others who were originally sitting, all stood up, and walked out with Ha Ji Won hugging him.
"Hey, ...... you guys?"
Ha Ji Won, who was pushing him, laughed: "Do you think it's a surprise to hide it from you and scare you?"
