Chapter 919: Acceptance is a challenge to the self
Earlier, Junsu deliberately said 20% of the total income to embarrass Kim Kwang-so, and in turn, Kim Kwang-so also used 30 billion to embarrass Jun-so. In fact, both of them felt that this thing was quite ridiculous, but they were deliberately using words to make things difficult, stimulating, and satirizing each other's 'jokes'. But I don't know if this 'joke' stimulated Junxiu, or did Junxiu's self-esteem as a man play a role, and things gradually came to fruition?
Jun-so agreed, something that no one had thought about, including Kim Kwang-so. Because Kim Kwang-so has already determined in his heart that it is impossible for Junsu to make this ridiculous '30 billion' bet next, just as he cannot promise Junxiu 20% of the total return. But who knew that Junxiu didn't play his cards according to common sense, and he really agreed?
Looking at Jun-so's confident look at So-yeon, Kim Kwang-so was inexplicably a little panicked. 30 billion, this is an astronomical amount of income for any girl group on the market today, except for Girls' Generation. Although Kim Kwang-so also felt that Junsu couldn't let Tara achieve this benefit, or that it was very difficult, it was as difficult as heaven, but I don't know why his heart began to panic.
In case, if Junsu really makes Tara reach an annual income of 30 billion, then they will have to pay Junsu 6 billion, which is far beyond what he can decide as a representative. Because their company is a subsidiary, he is just a senior worker. The decision of large funds is not something he can decide, for example, the expenditure of 6 billion must be decided by the head office, and he can only implement it after approval.
But now before he reported to the head office, Junxiu agreed, didn't this make him overstep?
Even if the price is sky-high, 500 million a song, Junxiu will only write two songs for Tara, of course, if Junxiu is willing. But now compared to the 1 billion won that should have been spent, but because of Kim Kwang-so's gambling contract, 5 billion won more will be spent, what kind of international joke? Such a bet is impossible for any company to accept, right?
So when Kim Kwang-so looked at the confident Jun-so, he became a little panicked, and the problem returned to Kim Kwang-so again. Actually, the two shouldn't have embarrassed each other in the first place. Now both sides are a little out of the table, which makes a fuss..
Kim Kwang-so, who was like a laughing Buddha, had already put away his smile at this time, he just glanced around and said to the people present: "I'll go to the bathroom, and by the way, I will tell the secretary upstairs to print out what we said into a contract." ”
Kim Kwang-so plans to report to the head office at the time he leaves, and if the head office agrees to the contract, his bet with Junsu becomes a contract. If the head office doesn't agree, then he will hide in his office and wait for Junsu to come up and apologize to him. After all, on the spot, his choice of 'running away' was already a sign of admitting defeat, although he was still talking about 'printing contracts'.
Kim Kwang-so left like this, and Tara's agent said to Junsu a little confused, "That.. Junxiu, I'll buy you a cup of coffee. ”
Junxiu and their representatives were very embarrassed by both sides, so now he really doesn't know what he can say to Junxiu? Even his desire to get along with Junsu or his agent has almost been ruined because of the 'bet' he made with the representative, because he is labeled as CCM.
Tara's agent also left at this time, leaving Junsu with his agent and the rest of Tara in the practice room. Today, Junxiu didn't come over to give them songs right away, but wanted to find the direction of song production in them, which is the so-called song positioning.
Jun-so's agent was the first to say his worries to Jun-so: "Jun-so, you... You can't be serious, can you??"
Because there is still room for relaxation in this matter before the signing of the contract, the agent wants to persuade Junsu not to be so serious, it is obvious that Junxiu and Kim Kwang-so both have a vindictive element in it, after all, this 'bet' is too ridiculous.
After Junxiu's agent, So-yeon also followed his words: "Your brain is burning, right? 30 billion? How is this possible?"
In fact, it's not just So-yeon who doesn't believe it, but everyone present doesn't believe that Jun-so can make them reach an annual income of 30 billion. It is not denied that Junxiu has unparalleled talent in music, but it is really an exaggeration to want the artist's annual income to reach 30 billion.
But Junxiu didn't think so, he showed a smile to his agent and Tara: "How do you know if you don't try? And I also want to try, can I really make a national girl group again? If there was an element of luck before, then this time I will sum up the experience on you, and I can use it on our children in the future." It's not terrible to fail, it's terrible to not dare to try. The outside world now says that I am the No. 1 girl group producer in Korea, but I still haven't dared to reach out and touch a girl group other than Girls' Generation, but Girls' Generation is already a stereotyped girl group, and any of their songs will be popular as long as the quality is not too bad.. Well, I'll admit, I was scared .."
Yes, as Junsu said, 'Girls' Generation' has become a national girl group, and it has become a natural trend for fans and the music industry to respect them. So as long as the quality of the songs is passable, then there is no reason to fail.
But other girl groups are different, and the music industry is extremely critical of any new group. This may be the reason why Junsu has not dared to reach out to other girl groups for a long time, he is afraid of his own failure, he is afraid that he will fall from the 'first' position in the mouth of the media.
And this 'bet' with Kim Kwang-so happened to be a kind of self-challenge for him.
Whether the 'experiment' on Tara this time is a success or a failure, it is a summary of the experience of the girl group production for Junxiu, and it was really smooth after he took over Girls' Generation before, and the experience, it seems that there is not much experience to speak of. Anyway, just like that, give the song on time, and the rest is like having a pair of hands that naturally push Girls' Generation forward, and the rest of the things, such as publicity or something, are handled by the company.
He didn't seem to feel much, and he was suddenly crowned by the media as 'Korea's No. 1 girl group producer'. All this was so sudden for Junxiu...
