After a moment of silence, Ahn Jun Hyuk shrugged: "In this case, I won't force it, I just hope you can think about it more, analyze the different advantages of this and SM, as well as your own development focus - in my opinion, you are more talented in acting than in songs." ”

He didn't have much choice but to express regret in this way.

Because of this sudden invitation and refusal, I probably felt that it would be embarrassing to stay any longer, and it didn't take long for Li Yunxi to get up and say goodbye, and kept sending her out of the company, and on the way said a few words that I hoped she would think about carefully, and slowly left under her respectful attitude, and Ahn Junhyuk returned to the office.

There were no outsiders, and Ahn Jun-hyuk frowned slightly.

Although Li Yunxi did not express her concerns, it is not difficult to find that the main factor of her refusal is that the company itself has no foundation, and on the other hand, his personal glory is not brilliant enough, so that people still can't ignore his age.

These issues have been considered for a long time, and it is only today that we can see their impact intuitively.

Frowning slightly, sitting in a chair and thinking for a moment, Ahn Joon-hyuk opened the drawer and pulled out a cigarette. I had already quit smoking, but I had been picking up a lot of things recently, and I only smoked one when I was thinking about a problem.

Pulled out a cigarette and put it in the corner of his mouth, and was about to get the lighter, in the shadow under the desk, a small hand suddenly stretched out and snatched the lighter, Ahn Junhyuk was stunned, and then saw Yun'er pouting and crawling out of the shadow.

When he came back, he didn't see anyone, and he thought that the girl didn't know where to play again. Unexpectedly, she actually hid underneath, and was a little crying and laughing for a while, and was about to reach out to her to get the lighter back, Yun'er, who was staring at him dissatisfied, snapped into the fire and helped him light the cigarette.

"Hey, you're going to be an accomplice by doing that!"

He smiled, teasing him, Yun'er rolled her eyes and raised her fingers: "Only this one is allowed to be sucked." I'll keep the rest of the cigarettes!"

"Okay, okay!" Ahn Joon-hyuk smiled helplessly. watched her snatch the cigarette case, hid it in her satchel very preciously, and patted it again, looking like she was finally relieved. The faint bitterness and fragrance of the tobacco spread in the mouth. Outside the window, the clouds were rolling in the sky. The sky was hazy. After curling up the smoke, he smiled softly at the girl's cute actions.

After hiding the cigarette case, Yuna squatted down next to him. With both hands on the armrests, the chin padd, and the pure eyes looked at him without blinking.

"See what?"

"It turns out that OPPA will also be troubled!" Yuna said softly, "It's the first time I've seen someone refuse OPPA, does OPPA feel very frustrated?"

This tone ...... Why do you say like I've failed to confess?"

…… What if you really failed to confess......

The girl pouted quietly, so that she would have a chance to take advantage of the situation! Unfortunately, she had never seen Ahn Joon-hyuk take the initiative emotionally, or rather, she had never seen him take the initiative to pursue someone because he felt that he couldn't let go of it, and it seemed that for him, love was just an embellishment.

This is the conclusion she came to after studying a large number of erotic novels, there is no shortage of such cold, rational male protagonists in erotic novels, but they all succumb to the heroine's pomegranate skirt without exception, and sometimes, she really wants to become such a heroine herself.

Well, an inconspicuous heroine like an ugly duckling, all the white swans with elegant temperament are villains!

There are many different backgrounds and a pattern of love novels in her mind, and on the surface, Yuna naturally doesn't say what is on her mind, but asks curiously, "Is OPPA distressed by Sister Yunxi's refusal?"

"It's not distressing!" Ahn Jun Hyuk smiled and patted her little head, "I just think there's still a lot to do!"

He didn't say much about how many so-called things were there and what aspects they contained, and Yun'er didn't ask more.

J.H's affairs are still busy, hiding in the office before a cigarette is finished, the head of the department comes to ask for instructions, and after that, this busyness seems to never be broken, the office door is frequently pushed open, they say something to him she doesn't understand, sometimes someone who knows will smile at her, but that's all. The whole company is like a running machine, spinning rapidly.

The morning passed like this, and in the afternoon, Ahn Jun-hyuk had to be interviewed.

Some music magazines have long wanted to conduct an interview with him, and even if they have rejected a lot, some magazines still can't avoid it, such as "The Sound of Popular Music", which has the most influence in the Korean music field.

After eating at noon and sending Yun'er away, and after explaining what should be explained, the editor of "The Sound of Popular Music" came to the door.

The editor was a middle-aged woman dressed quite fashionably, with a well-maintained face, and it was impossible to tell her specific age for a while, and the other party came alone, without accompanying assistants, cameras, or video cameras, but only a small tape recorder and sketchbook.

When the other party contacted Quan Baogen before, he said that this time it was just a casual interview, and it would not be very formal, and he thought that the other party was deliberately lowering his vigilance, but he didn't expect it to be true.

"Hello, Editor Hong!"

Since it was a casual interview, the location of the interview in the office was not suitable, Ahn Joon-hyuk took the other party to the company's rest room and asked her to sit down, "What do you drink? tea, juice, or water?"

"Xie Lu Xie, just have a glass of water!" Editor Hong pursed his lips and smiled, looking at the environment of the lounge.

This lounge is reserved for the rest of the company's artists in the future, so the space is quite large, about 50 square meters of area is elegantly decorated, comfortable, and the furniture selection is not too sharp style, turn on the light, the crystal lamp exudes an orange halo sprinkled, and the whole space is shrouded in a warmth.

At present, the only artists in the company are him and Bai Zhiying, and this lounge is used for the first time today, but because there are usually people disturbing the relationship, there is no smell, open the curtains, and there is a row of huge floor-to-ceiling windows. All the riverside scenery is included.

"The environment is great!" Editor Hong narrowed his eyes and got up to take the water brought by Ahn Junhyuk, "I studied interior design in college, probably because of the deep impression left on me in college, every time I go to a place, I always like to rely on the interior furnishings to guess the owner's intentions...... I have a good impression of this lounge of yours!"

"Ha Lu Ha, Xie Lu Xie praise, if you can write this first impression when reporting, it will be even better!"

Ahn Joon-hyuk said with a smile. Sit across from her. The right leg is on the left leg, and the hands are crossed in front of the chest, and the bearing is calm.

"Of course you can!" editor Hong smiled, "I said that." This is a more casual interview. The harmony of the opening atmosphere is more likely to make the reader happy...... You don't mind starting now, do you?"

"Don't mind!"

Get answered. She took a sip of water, pushed the recorder she had in hand to the center of the table, and pressed the record button. The machine quietly spun into motion, and with a slight noise, the interview began.

……

The interview was indeed a more casual way, and the first question asked by the other party was not about the concept of creating music, nor was it a life struggle and understanding of music choices, but a small gossip.

"You single-handedly brought Miss Bai Zhiying back to the stage, and now it has been rumored in the circle as a beautiful talk, many people say that it was you and Bai Zhiying who joined forces to create the classic of "No More Love", and many readers are currently very interested in you and Miss Bai Zhiying meeting for the first time, and I myself also want to know Lu Dao, under what circumstances did you promise to help her, and even ignored all kinds of difficulties for this?"

Ahn Jun-hyuk also knew that the people had always been very curious about what he wanted to help Baek Ji-young.

The difference is that in the past, many people conceived all kinds of unbearable possibilities for this curiosity, but now, they purely want to know how the two people who created "No More Love" and sang "No More Love" worked together.

If it was before, Ahn Jun-hyuk was quite taboo about how to answer this question, but now he doesn't have to.

"Actually, the first person I met was Ha Ji Won......" Speaking of this, I saw the other party quickly write the names of him and Ha Ji Won in the sketchbook, and then hit each other with arrows, and couldn't help but sigh helplessly: "...... The scandal has long passed, Ha Ji Won and I are simply good friends, please be merciful!"

Editor Hong looked up at him, and after a moment, crossed out the arrow: "OK, please continue!"

“…… I first met Sister Hailin, when I hadn't officially debuted, and I met Sister Zhiying at the beginning of the year when I started preparing for my ballad debut. Sister Hailin was worried that I was a newcomer with no stage experience, so she specially helped me introduce several of her friends, Brother Zhong Guo, Brother Shijing, and Sister Zhiying, when did they start to get in touch......"

This kind of telling is the picture of more than half a year ago, and the power of time is endless, and at this time, as he recalls it, it seems that a long time has passed, so long that he almost forgets them if he doesn't mention them.

Recalling the difficult steps of walking in the circle at that time, and recalling the help of Ha Ji Won, Sung Shi-kyung, Kim Jong Kook and others at that time, his expression softened more and more.

Many times, friends can influence each other.

Looking back on the passing of the past half a year, ask yourself, he has changed a lot, he woke up from a dream at the beginning of last year, most of his daily life, his thinking is cold and harsh, maintaining absolute sanity, being affected by the "Ahn Jun Hyuk" in the dream, wandering in the gray area of darkness and light, maybe one day, maybe because of something, he will step into the abyss, and he can no longer trap the ruthless beast.

The "Ahn Joon-hyuk" in the dream is dead, and the "Ahn Ji-so" in the dream is also dying with "him", and he doesn't know what he will do to the current Jisoo if the beast breaks free from the cage.

He only knows the way, and he can't let "him" out.

The dead "Ahn Jun Hyuk" is more terrible than those memories in the dream, because after experiencing death, the last weakness of the last one with "him" turned into a black and white memory after a few gunshots, and "he" no longer has fear!

Some were just locked by him in the darkest corner of his heart, a solid, cold mass that could not be melted.

We may think of this as a split personality, but the difference is that there is no priority between the two personalities, and they are constantly influencing and assimilating each other.

He was not dragged into the darkness, it was related to Jisoo, Taeyeon, Yoona and them, and the help of So Ji-sub, Ha Ji-won, Kim Jong-kook and others. The beast is accustomed to connecting people with interests, and "he" does not trust feelings. Believing that feelings are the most fragile bonds, "he" thinks that what he gets, he will definitely give more.

But the help of Ha Ji Won, Kim Jong Kook and others did not ask for anything from him, and the fierce beast in him who was watching coldly, so "he" was confused, and he began to slowly struggle out of the gray area.

Once one by one, pictures passed in front of my eyes.

Editor Hong quickly took notes in his sketchbook.

If translated into a published article, it would be written like this:

“…… In his narrative, I saw the first meeting of two strangers quite ordinarily. It's not as vigorous as many people on the Internet guess. From acquaintance to familiarity, to becoming friends, they have experienced the baptism of time like ordinary people...... But the deepening of friendship comes from the firmness cultivated by this insipidity. From Ahn Joon-hyuk's words. I was surprised to find that "No More Love" came out from the beginning. After recording the audio track and shooting the MV, it has been more than half a year now. But in the past six months, apart from the news that Ahn Joon-hyuk wrote a song for Baek Ji-young on the gossip news, which is more akin to a scandal, we don't even have any rumors about it......"

“…… Ahn Jun-hyuk didn't say it, and I don't know how many times Baek Ji-young has been coldly treated and heard of rejection in the past half a year, until he broke away from SM, this almost buried classic was rediscovered, and I don't know what setbacks and blows they encountered in the process of struggle. The feeling he gave me, and the picture that I thought of in my mind, was a period of mutual support through thick and thin......"

After more than an hour of interviewing, Editor Hong asked the only question outside of leisure.

"Ahn Joon-hyuk, we all know that when J.H opened, you once made a bet to the media present, saying that if you put Baek Ji-young on any list, they must publicly apologize to Miss Baek Ji-young for their words and deeds......"

“…… You've never said it in person, is that true?"

"Yes, I said this bet!" Leaning on the arm of the sofa and dragging his chin with one hand, Ahn Jun Hyuk nodded.

"So, does it count?"

After thinking about it, Ahn Jun-hyuk smiled: "Of course it counts, in fact, I have been waiting for the day when Sister Jiyoung will ascend to the first place!"

This is his true thoughts, although he said the bet at the beginning, it was more for hype, but he didn't mind taking advantage of this to let the people who had slandered Bai Zhiying taste the taste of being slapped in the face.

Looking at his calm, natural expression, Editor Hong groaned for a moment, and after the most coludicate of the transcript, wrote:

"A strong friendship, some people's biggest mistake, is to try to challenge the strength of this friendship, I think, it's time for the bet to be recognized by more people!"

……

……

On the third day, the interview with "The Sound of Popular Music" was sorted out and published in a special issue.

Unexpectedly, its publication caused a great response in the media, and I don't know how many people in Lu Dao were eager to eat Ahn Jun Hyuk Sheng.

In the eyes of the reporters who participated in the J.H report at that time and were named by Ahn Junhyuk, after the release of "No More Love", they have died down and have no more criticism and accusations, and even like other peers, they actively praised Baek Ji-young, praised the song, and praised Ahn Jun-hyuk, which is itself a show of weakness, and Ahn Jun-hyuk should stop it and never mention that incident again.

Who knows, he still gave them a "surprise"!

The editor, who first called out the "arrogant" headline at Daum Entertainment, picked up his pen again and re-embarked on the path of criticizing Ahn Joon-hyuk.

But the difference this time is that he didn't hold on to Ahn Junhyuk's wild words, because in the previous confrontation, they found that Ahn Junhyuk had occupied the commanding heights of public opinion. He stood up for his friends, and because he was not angry with the ridicule his friends received, under such a commanding height, as long as he didn't go crazy and bite indiscriminately, the psychological balance of the people would tilt in his favor, including other media that were not involved.

This time, the editor grasped the problem of violating social morality and ethics in the MV of "No More Love"!

"This is a blasphemy, blasphemy against ethics!"

At the beginning, a huge hat was buttoned up, "The MV has multiple shots and hints, revealing the theme of same-sex love, I don't know what kind of mentality Ahn Jun Hyuk hath had, agreeing to the MV being made like this, but obviously his thoughts have touched the bottom line of normal society." The MV is preaching the poignancy of same-sex indecency throughout the video, and such ideas will seriously affect the correct formation of the young people's view of the world. distort their perception of same-sex relationships, and then disrupt the order of this society......"

Between the lines, the end is righteous and awe-inspiring.

Naturally, the comment sparked indignation among conservatives.

As early as the announcement of the MV of "No More Love", there were defenders on the Internet who questioned and criticized the theme of the MV, but the important component of the Internet is teenagers, who may not accept the same sex, but they are not opposed to the more frequent same-sex movement in recent years, so those voices have not formed a scale. Occasionally pop up some. Most of them quickly disappeared into the wave of praise.

Until the appearance of this article, conservative people who usually don't know where to hide and depressed jumped out one after another, and wantonly attacked the theme and intention of the MV with their hearts.

"It's evolutionary regression. Same-sex itself is against the laws of nature. is to the country. Blasphemy against civilization, against the whole of humanity!" cried the more radical people.

"God created male and female males so that they could multiply. Not to exterminate humanity!" this benevolent brother in the name of religion does not seem to have misinterpreted the book of Genesis.

In their opinion, the MV is normal, no pornography, no explicitness, only a faint metaphor and poignancy, and even the theme does not promote the rationality of the same sex, but instead uses the hands of the two girls at the end to foreshadow the twists and turns and ups and downs of choosing this relationship.

This MV can almost be regarded as one of the most beautiful masterpieces about love in recent years, but some people not only don't appreciate it, but they want to get rid of it quickly!

Of course, they did not allow those people to smear at will, and so, another quarrel broke out!

……

Recently, the controversy over the MV of "No More Love" touching the bottom line of ethics is still continuing on the Internet, with supporters of different views on both sides attacking each other in various communities and portals, and opponents believe that the MV is missing and should be stopped, but so far, no TV station has announced a ban on "No More Love...... Yesterday, an official from the Ministry of Information and Communications said that this incident will further strengthen the determination of the government and the people to rectify the Internet, and the hearing on the online real-name system will be held as scheduled next month......

In front of the bar, a middle-aged man retracted his gaze, took off his glasses and wiped the lenses, and smiled bitterly at Ahn Junhyuk, who was wearing a baseball cap and sunglasses: "Alas, these people, just a MV they make a fuss like this, my movie is really going to be filmed, I'm afraid I will be scolded to the ancestral grave to smoke!"

"I can't help it, I can't accept it, and I want to force others to ...... Some people are like that!"

"Speaking of which, this is still the war you provoked, BOSS, do you think we don't have enough trouble?" When he said this, the expression on Li Junyi's face was very helpless.

For the sake of "The King's Man", he was really scolded and scared, according to his idea, Ahn Junhyuk invested in filming, naturally the more low-key the better, it is best not to arouse any interest from the media, and not to be captured by them any bit of rumor.

But apparently Ahn Junhyuk had different ideas from him, before "The Sound of Popular Music" was released, Ahn Junhyuk called him and asked him to prepare for an attack, he was still wondering at first, but he didn't expect to get up early in the morning two days later, and he was almost scared out of urine by the overwhelming accusations on the Internet.

It was so bad that he went to Ahn Junhyuk to talk about things, but he didn't dare to go to J.H, for fear of being recognized by a reporter, and then attack him so much that he wanted to die.

Ahn Jun-hyuk smiled, didn't answer his slightly complaining question, took a sip of his drink, paused for a moment, and asked instead: "How is the crew's preparations?

When it came to business, Li Junyi no longer complained, his face became more serious, and he nodded: "The crew has been prepared, a lot of money has been spilled, the crew is formed a little faster than I imagined, and the filming time is enough, the filming cycle I budgeted in the past was according to the standard of 7 billion won, and now you have invested 15 billion won, and many things will be solved." ”

After a pause, he looked at Ahn Jun-hyuk: "Speaking of which, BOSS, how did you think about my previous proposal?" (to be continued......)
