Chapter Forty-Seven: The Year of Hurry

In the final exam of the first semester of high school, Cheon Myung-hoon won the first place again after full preparation. Cha Hee Young was not in good shape and suffered Waterloo. Narrowly fell out of the first exam room.

Cha Hee-young cried all night, and finally made up her mind: she and Cheon Myung-hoon are not from the same world. Qian Mingxun can easily juggle his studies and others, but it is difficult for him to do well even if he redoubles his efforts.

Cha Hee-young recognized the reality and stopped thinking about things that would not help her now.

If Cheon Myung-hoon debuts in the future, she will be his fan for the rest of her life.

At the end of 2003, the major award ceremonies in the music industry were also wonderful.

In the end, Lee Hyo-ri won the "KBS Song Battle Award", "MNET Most Popular MV Award", "KMTV Music Award", "Seoul Song Awards", and "SBS Song Battle Award".

Although she won five awards, Lee so-young unexpectedly defeated Lee Hyo-ri to win the most popular singer award at the MBC Song Festival. Lee Hyori unfortunately failed to win the most valuable triple crown, and also missed out on the six crowns.

There has been a lot of discussion in the media, and some people think that MBC is fair, because Lee so-young's album sales are more than three times that of Lee Hyo-ri, and this award has no water. But Lee Hyori, who has been overshadowed by momentum this year, has not been able to win the treble, and I don't know when the next time will be.

However, Cheon Myung-hoon clearly knows that the triple crown will appear soon: Kim Jong Kook in 05 made up for people's regrets.

Because of this, Cheon Myung-hoon also has his own plan. He decided to make his debut in 04, otherwise all the limelight in 05 would be stolen by Kim Jong Kook.

And in 05, popular boy groups such as SS501 and Super Junior emerged in the music industry. It's not that I'm afraid to compete with them, but Cheon Myung-hoon wants to be their senior!

Qualifications are still very important, and the sooner the better.

On December 31, 2003, Mika Nakajima won the gold medal at the 45th RB Record Awards for "Yukika". Cheon Myung-hoon accidentally saw the news and suddenly thought that this song was the original song of the legendary OST "Snow Flower" in the Korean song industry.

Park Hyo-shin, an unknown singer, has gained huge attention with this divine comedy. Since then, it has entered the eyes of people and has become an important reason why he has worked hard to hone his singing skills. After more than ten years of hard training, he finally opened up the second pulse of Ren Du and sang to become a god. Become a living legend in the Korean contemporary music scene.

(One mountain cannot tolerate two tigers, unless one male and one female.) It is impossible for this kind of protagonist-level character in a novel to give him a role. I especially liked his songs, so goodbye Park Hyo-shin. )

Qian Myung-hoon immediately contacted someone and bought the copyright and adaptation rights of the song in Korean as soon as possible. Qian Mingxun doesn't want to be a plagiarist, so is there a better song for him than this song?

Although this song is not suitable as a debut song because it is an adaptation. But Lee Sun-hee felt that it was better to test the waters with it, so she immediately set about adapting the song with Cheon Myung-hoon.

Lee Sun-hee was a visionary. Thinking of Cheon Myung-hoon's age, even if he can interpret this song well, he may not be able to get a fair evaluation.

The best thing to do is to record it as an OST and find a romantic TV series with a sad plot to broadcast. In this way, the song enters the public's field of vision before the singer, and the identity of the singer will be announced after everyone has already evaluated the song.

Presumably, the wind of praise was irreversible at that time, and young age was no longer a problem but a plus. It's impossible for the media and the public to change their tune and slap themselves in the face right away.

On January 3, 2004, the weekend drama "The Story of Bali" directed by Choi Moon-seok, written by Kim Ki-ho, starring Ha Ji Won, Cho In-sung, So Ji-sub, and Park Ye-jin was broadcast on SBS TV and came into people's attention. The opponent in the same schedule is MBC TV - the well-known and well-known costume drama "Da Chang Jin".

The ratings of "Dae Jang Geum" in South Korea have been maintained at around 50%, and with an average rating of 47.8%, it won the 2004 Korean ratings champion. "The Story of Bali" won three awards at the 40th Baeksang Arts Awards: Best Actor, Best Actress and Best Screenplay. Become the biggest winner of this year's TV series.

Among them, it is worth mentioning that Zhao Yincheng won the Best Actor Award at the age of 23, becoming the youngest Baeksang Emperor in history.

On February 6, 2004, TVXQ officially debuted on SBS.

In March 2004, with the help of Cheon Myung-hoon. Jin Xiaoyuan went to the International Student Department of the Second Affiliated High School of BJ Normal University in China to study Chinese language courses for half a year.

In May 2004, Ko Yun-ha released his first Japanese single "ゆびきり Oath", which was selected as an episode in the TV series "Tokyo Bayview ~Destiny of Love~".

On June 5, 2004, Kim Eun-sook's second screenwriting work "Paris Lovers" was launched, and this drama was like a rainbow as soon as it was broadcast, and the ratings of a single episode exceeded 50% many times. The costumes and scenes in the play detonated the Paris fever in South Korea, and all the same products became popular once they were released. The TV drama OST has also stimulated the sluggish Korean music scene, and the sales of soundtracks are also eye-catching. "Lovers in Paris" finally exited with a rating of 56.3% in the finale, and successfully rewrote the 55.5% rating record set by "Dae Jang Geum" at the beginning of the year.

Cheon Myung-hoon was finally shocked to discover: it turned out that Kim Eun-sook was the legendary screenwriter who created countless popular Korean dramas in the future.

On July 17, 2004, Kim Taeyeon originally agreed with her friends to participate in the audition of South Korea's SM Entertainment Co., Ltd., but she was the only one who appeared at the agreed place.

With the encouragement of her father, at the age of 15, she won the first place in singing and the overall award with a probability of 1:9000 in the 8th SM Youth BEST Competition, and since then she has been training as a non-public trainee of SM Company. He also studied with singer The One as his teacher and devoted himself to learning vocal music.

Knowing that Jin Ruansoft's personality is not sociable, in order to let this young captain integrate into the army as soon as possible, Cheon Myung-hoon instructed Yuna to get closer to each other more. Although Yuna was suspicious of Cheon Myung-hoon's strange request, she obediently complied.

In the same year, Taeyeon was invited by her teacher to perform the chorus song "You Bring Me Joy" for her second album, which was released on August 23, 2004.

In August 2004, Lee so-man, who had been in exile for a long time, finally returned to China to accept the verdict when Cheon Jeong-jae opened up the net. On September 3, he was sentenced to two years in prison, suspended for three years. In 2007, President Roh Moo-hyun was pardoned on the occasion of his fourth inauguration. In the end, it was just a false alarm.

August 18, 2004, Kwon Zhilong's birthday. After drinking some alcohol at the party, and under the catalysis of alcohol, Kwon Ji Ryong confided in Cheon Myung Hoon about a heart: he had a girl he liked.

Out of all kinds of scruples, Cheon Myung-hoon didn't want to encourage him to confess. But looking at the happy smile on Kwon Ji-ryong's face, Cheon Myung-hoon thought of himself and Yuna. In the end, I blessed him.

This crush lasted for two years, and Kwon Zhilong's first two confessions were rejected by the other party. By the time she confessed for the third time, the girl already had a boyfriend. Quan Zhilong still did not give up and decided to make one last confession.

That day, he bought a bouquet of flowers and came downstairs to the girl's house, but unfortunately it was raining lightly, and Quan Zhilong stood downstairs for 5 hours in the rain, and finally couldn't wait for the girl to appear.

When Kwon Zhilong felt very decadent and painful, Cheon Myung-hoon found him and woke him up fiercely:

Love is not the whole of life, you still have music dreams. In the last exam, you have already touched the bottom line left by your father, and if you continue to be decadent, do you still want to make your debut?

Only then did Quan Zhilong wake up and regain his spirits. Put all your energy into learning and practicing. After experiencing this incident, the relationship between Kwon Ji-ryong and Cheon Myung-hoon became stronger.

In September 2004, Cheon Myung-hoon and Lee Sun-hee's master and apprentice both got the news through their respective channels: KBS TV has a sad TV series about to start at the end of the year, called "I'm Sorry, I Love You". Cheon Myung-hoon also recalled that "Snow Flower" is the OST of this drama.

This year's Korean drama market, led by three popular dramas, has entered a new relaxed and funny atmosphere, and there has been no suitable TV series as the carrier of "Snow Flower".

This "I'm Sorry, I Love You" is different from the relaxed pace of most Korean dramas, and what runs through the show is the slow camera and deep tone. The director and screenwriter have an incomparably accurate grasp of the audience's psychology. At the beginning of the story, a bombshell is dropped on the audience, informing Wu He that he is in danger of being shot in the brain at any time, making the audience frightened by the fate of the protagonist.

This authentic and touching style is unique both in today's Korean drama environment and in the many tragedies that force sensationalism. Li Shanji also accurately grasped this essence. During the final recording, Cheon Myung-hoon didn't use any fancy tricks. It's just a slight reduction in the voice to fit the low, sad atmosphere of the plot.

As soon as Cheon Myung-hoon's OST sample was presented, it immediately became the best choice for directors and screenwriters.

In October 2004, Ko Yun-ha's 1st Japanese single "ゆびきり-RB language version-" was released, and he finally took a step ahead of Chimyeong-hoon in his debut.

On November 8, 2004, "I'm Sorry, I Love You" premiered. The opening chapter uses an ingenious shot of selecting interview footage in the editing room, which immediately aroused the curiosity of many viewers. The camera is beautiful, the expressions of the characters are captured accurately, and lingering and mournful music such as "Snow Flower" is sounded in the film at the right time, giving people a sense of naturalness. Before the broadcast, it received great attention from the people, and after the broadcast, it received rave reviews.

And the OST of "Snow Flower" quickly became a popular song. Myung-Hoon is a singer who conquers the audience's ears when he first enters the audience's field of vision. This is the perfect dream start for a rookie singer.

All the spectators and countless passers-by are paying attention and looking forward to this:

What is Myung-Hoon's true face?
