Chapter 2: YG (I)
PS: I'm warming my hands for the time being, and I'll change it every day!
From the vicinity of the Myeongdeok Ildong Girls' Dormitory to the Academy, it is the most beautiful place on campus. Rolling lawns and maple leaves and evergreen trees weave the colors of summer and autumn, and some buildings show a little silhouette behind the green belt on the outer edge of the lawn.
The Anseong campus has a history of several decades, but it is a newly built building, and it has not been contaminated with too much ancient atmosphere, the grass is neatly trimmed and green, the air is clear in autumn, the heaven and earth seem extraordinarily high, and the breeze is cool.
She wasn't the only one under the tree over there, there were two other men, who were sitting on the bench with their backs to this side, perhaps also startled by the girl's sudden greeting, and Ahn Joon-hyuk was also looking back when he looked over there.
Then Ahn Joon-hyuk saw an acquaintance!
In other words, he and the other party have always known each other, but they have never met.
He was stunned for a moment, then smiled, and walked over there, and the two men sitting on the bench also stood up and greeted the girl who had greeted him earlier.
"Senior Lee Jung-hyun, President Yang Hyun-suk, Senior Park Jae-sang, hello!"
Bowing to the three people who came towards him one by one, Ahn Junhyuk narrowed his eyes slightly, looking at the three seniors in the music industry in front of him.
That girl is naturally Li Zhenxian, a senior sister who studied drama and film and television with him, and these days, he has heard the other party's name from the nagging Kwon Baogen...... Of course, the meaning of the representation is usually not too good, after all, she has been in college for 6 years and has not yet graduated. It's not something to be honored.
After entering the school, he heard that Li Zhenxian had just finished his trip in China, returned to school for further study, and was mentally prepared to meet the other party, which was not too unexpected, in order to avoid not being able to recognize her when meeting, he also recently collected some information about her, so although he had not met, he did not call the wrong name at the first glance at this time.
Compared to her. The other two were even more thunderous.
The first one reached out to Ahn Joon-hyuk. The chubby cheeks bloomed brightly, and he held Ahn Junhyuk's hand hard, shaking it while saying enthusiastically, "Ahn Junhyuk xi." I was talking to Jeonghyun about you just now. I'd like to ask her to show us to meet you. However, considering that you have just entered the school and may be busy, I regret to dismiss the idea. I didn't expect to see it here!"
The man's voice was thin, soft as a woman's, and with his pleasant countenance, one couldn't help but want to spit when he heard it.
Ahn Junhyuk just bowed slightly respectfully again, and said with a modest smile: "This is my relationship with my seniors, so I can meet no matter what! Xie Lu thanked the seniors for the flower basket you gave when J.H opened, and I have been busy with trivial matters recently, so I don't come to the door to thank you in person, I'm really sorry!"
"Ha Luha, it's just a gift of a flower basket to show your heart, how can it be as grand as coming to the door in person. ”
Yang Hyun Suk, who looked like a girl, smiled softly and turned his head, "I said that Jun Hyuk Xi is very bold and polite, Zhen Hyun, you just have too many scruples, everyone is a peer, and they are in the same school and the same department, this is the fate of how many years of cultivation, you should have been close to it a long time ago!"
Li Zhenxian, who came from behind him, glanced at him when he heard this, ignored him, and shook hands with Ahn Junhyuk: "Junior brother, hello!"
Li Zhenxian is not tall, he looks petite and slender, but his personality is unexpectedly hearty, he didn't take advantage of his predecessors, he just greeted him as a senior, which undoubtedly seemed closer.
"Hello, senior sister!" Ahn Junhyuk said, "I heard that you have just returned from China, and you are going to visit you in two days, and I will visit you when you are rested." ”
"It's okay, it's okay, it's good to meet like this, I'm not used to being too formal. Lee Jung-hyun waved his hand.
When Ahn Jun-hyuk was familiar with her information recently, he knew that she had always been known for her rebellious personality in the circle, and she liked to be unconventional in all aspects, but she didn't think her words were polite, and after a little greeting, he looked at the round young man at the back of the closest.
Park Jae-sang!
This name may not be familiar to many people in China, but if you mention a stage name, it can be called a big name.
The breeze was warm, and Ahn Junhyuk stretched out his hand to him: "PSY senior, please take care of me when we meet for the first time!"
……
Running into Yang Hyun Suk and PSY on campus was probably the biggest surprise of the day.
In the chat afterward, Ahn Jung-hyuk knew that Lee Jung-hyun and Yang Hyun-seok had been good friends since a few years ago - such a friendship, I am afraid it will be traced back to when Lee Jung-hyun was young, this diva-level singer with the title of the queen of electronic music and carried forward electronic music and dance music as soon as she debuted, at the beginning, she actually appeared as an actor, and the original driving force that pushed her into the entertainment industry was her love for Xu Taezhi......
She is an avid fan of Seo Tae-ji!
This is hardly a secret in the circle, she herself once revealed that because she liked Xu Taizhi in middle school, she didn't even want to have a boyfriend, and later she decided to make her debut at an audition because she wanted to see Xu Taizhi.
With such a premise, it is not surprising that she can become friends with Yang Hyun-suk, who has the nickname of Yang Girl, as for whether she has achieved her dream when she was young, whether she has had contact with her former idol, and Ahn Junhyuk's gossip leisure, but just looking at Xu Taizhi's elusive itinerary in recent years, her dream is probably still a dream.
Yang Hyun-seok is here to visit her, and Lee has been entering the Chinese and Japanese markets since last year, and has now made small achievements in both places, in contrast, she has spent very little time in China.
At the beginning of the year, Kim Hee-sun was criticized by the media for her 10-year study at Chung-Ang University, and Lee Jung-hyun, who had studied at Chung-Ang University for 6 years, was also considered to be uninterested in her studies.
As for PSY, it's a coincidence.
This singer, who once caused a sensation in the music scene with a song "Bird" and has a unique style, is now struggling with the matter of military service, and before coming here with Yang Hyun Suk to visit Lee Jung-hyun, it is said that he is asking Yang Hyun Suk for advice on service - the so-called advice is probably mostly the experience of desertion.
The service problem obviously bothered him a lot, and after meeting Ahn Junhyuk and greeting him a few words, he rarely spoke again, and most of the time he just sat on the bench with his stomach up in a daze, so only Ahn Jun-hyuk, Lee Jung-hyun and Yang Hyun-seok spoke.
All three of them are from the music industry, and now although they have different identities, they have either stopped their activities in China or transformed behind the scenes, and the only one who is still in front of the stage is Ahn Jun-hyuk, but after all, they still care about certain trends, such as the record market, which has become more and more urgent recently.
"The power of online piracy can't be ignored, the recent statistics of record sales in the first half of 2005, you have all seen it, right? Compared with the same period last year, it has decreased by 30%, and the current first half of the year exceeded 200,000 copies, only Jun Hyuk Xi and SG.Wanna.be, originally thought that Cao Chengmo could bring a little vitality, but so far, his records have not exceeded 100,000 copies, as for the second half of the year, I am afraid it will depend on Kim Jong Kook and Baek Ji Young......
Yang Hyun Suk said, giving Ahn Jun Hyuk a thumbs up, "To be honest, Jun Hyuk, I admire your courage and envy your luck! Miss Baek Ji Young's EP should be able to sell 100,000 copies, right?"
"Heh!" Ahn Jun-hyuk shook his head and smiled, "It's hard to say, and you also know that the EP made a MV, the cost was relatively large, and the sales didn't make anything." ”
"That's much better than ours!" Yang Xianshuo sighed, touching his smooth forehead.
Ahn Jun-hyuk and Lee Jung-hyun glanced at each other, and they both knew what he sighed for.
At present, the brokerage company in South Korea, the top is naturally SM and JYP, followed by DSP, this company has successfully launched Crystal Boy and Fin.k.l, although now the two groups have been disbanded, but the skinny camel is bigger than the horse, and the capital they have is not comparable to other small companies, the small companies mentioned here, including YG!
At this time, YG was not as brilliant as Ahn Joon-hyuk's dream in the future, and the only singers or groups that could get their hands on it, such as Hye-sung, Gummy, and se7en, were all launched in cooperation with other brokerage companies, and the income was shared among the three parties, and they didn't make much money at all, and the financial deficit had been for a long time.
The atmosphere was silent for a while, and soon, Lee Jung-hyun smiled and reconciled the atmosphere: "Who told you to do HIPHOP music, the current mainstream is lyrical and dance music, pure HIPHOP, fans can't accept it!"
"Who says it's unacceptable? Jun Hyuk Xi is also from HIPHOP, and his "Memory" is selling very well!"
Speaking of this, he looked at Ahn Jun Hyuk with regret: "It's good that you came to me in the first place, I promise to help you make "Memory" an excellent HIPHOP selection, don't mind if I speak straight, SM doesn't know what music is!"
The last sentence had a faint contempt in his eyes.
Ahn Jun-hyuk just smiled at this, since SM used his powerful star-making ability to kidnap the entire music industry into the chariot of dance music, basically no music agency has a good face for SM, to some extent, SM is indeed stifling the benign development of diversity in the music industry.
"Ha, are you jealous, you used to persuade me to go to YG every day, and now you want to tempt Junhyuk Xi?" Lee Jung-hyun sarcastically said.
PSY, who had been worried next to him, also interjected at this time: "And me, every time we meet recently, he has to persuade me to sign YG!"
Faced with the attack of two good friends, Yang Xianshuo opened his mouth to refute, but in the end, he was probably weak-hearted, and after all, he had no exit, so he closed his mouth stupidly, and after a while, he muttered: "If you don't sign a contract, you won't sign a contract, I don't believe that I can't cultivate a pure HIPHOP team." ”
As he spoke, he seemed to be unwilling, he looked at Ahn Junhyuk, and invited as if unintentionally: "Junhyuk, do you have time lately? Since the publication of your "Memory", I have always wanted to communicate with you, and by the way, let those little guys in the company take a look at you, the most successful senior in playing HIPHOP. ”
"Huh?"
Ahn Jun-hyuk, who was originally smiling and listening to their jokes, was stunned when he heard this. (To be continued......)
