Chapter 39: The Meaning of Encore

New infectious disease warning, South Korea is helpless!

As long as you listen to it once, the "IU" virus repeats indefinitely......

The unbelievably exotic atmosphere that emanates from the girl's voice......

"It's not a dream to become a star, it's a dream that people can regain through my songs......"

……

Loen's promotion of Li Zhien was fully launched, and all kinds of packaging and publicity were extraordinary. For a while, many "famous" musicians also emerged, portraying her as the hope for the future of the Korean music scene.

But Li Zhien has never even heard of the other party's name, let alone any communication. These groundless unanimous praises made her seem to have a new understanding of her debut.

This is the debut of his dreams...... Is that what it was?

But no matter how exaggerated those unwarranted appearances were, they did not affect Li Zhien's life. Except for participating in singing shows on the four major TV stations, the rest of the time was filled with non-public performances.

This method of accumulating initial popularity should be something that every newcomer has to go through. There are also those exaggerated propaganda campaigns, which are also tacit rules in the industry.

But even if it is done at this point, there are still only a very small number of artists who can survive the rookie period. That's why there is only one Cheon Myung-hoon in South Korea, and no one should be able to copy his line in the future.

The debut stage was lower than expected, and Lee Ji-eun knew this. Therefore, even if it is just a small theater stage, facing an audience that may only be dozens or even a dozen, you must face it with 200% enthusiasm.

As long as you don't give up, everything will still have a chance!

“I…… YOU…… Together, it is IU~"

Every time he introduced himself before the opening, Lee would explain the meaning of his stage name.

It's only been a week since her debut, and she has already repeated it dozens of times. But she can't be impatient because of this, because as long as her dream is to be a singer, she will have to do it for the rest of her life.

After the main song "Fans" was sung, the atmosphere of the theater also became warm. Although this song is not a cheerful song, there are still a lot of high-pitched parts. Seeing a fifteen-year-old girl singing like this, the uncles in the audience naturally did not hesitate to applaud.

Li Zhien felt the recognition of the audience, and his tense mood relaxed a lot. Respectfully thanked everyone, nodded to the agent in the audience, and began the performance of the second song.

Watching Lee Ji-eun's hard-working performance, Park Kyung-hyun felt a little uncomfortable.

As Li Zhien's agent, and they will get along for a long time in the future. He already regarded the other party as a sister or even a daughter in his heart.

But it's only been a week since IU's debut, and Loen released a preview of Cheon Myung-hoon's MV today. This is tantamount to a blunt public announcement that IU's debut album has failed!

After all, according to the original publicity plan, the announcement of Cheon Myung-hoon's return should have to wait for another two weeks.

Of course, there is a reason behind this, but Park Kyung-hyun has no right to ask. So from his point of view, Loen just gave up on IU. Otherwise, why did you let Cheon Myung-hoon take over so quickly?

In fact, there is a big misunderstanding here, that is, who are newcomers competing with?

Is TVXQ's main opponent TVXQ, is it Wonder Girls, or is it Kim Tae-yeon, who is returning with a second OST?

No, the answer is no.

Before you can compete with these people, you must first have the qualifications to compete with them. Not to mention newcomers with a fan base, the most important thing is to let more people remember themselves.

Therefore, Qian Myungxun's early return is a kind of help to IU. At least the media has more to write about when they report on her. Even if it's just a few words about her in passing, it's better than not coming.

But this is not the main intention of returning early, and Loen does not intend to reverse the unsatisfactory result of Lee Ji-eun's debut in this way. There is only one purpose for adjusting the Chimyeong-hoon plan, and that is to be more beneficial to him.

As the popularity of Boys Over Flowers soars, the time is ripe for Cheon Myung-hoon's return. This TV series is also becoming more and more important to Cheon Myung-hoon every day.

Now that the album production has ended, it will be easier to start the return early and shoot later. If the time is too tight, it will definitely affect the quality of the performance.

Although this second album is undoubtedly important to Cheon Myung-hoon, the priority of the TV series seems to have surpassed the former. Gradually, the principle of who should give concessions to whom has become clearer.

Cheon Myung-hoon doesn't promote the album for a few days, which doesn't make much of a difference, because that's what he used to do. And there are TV series as auxiliaries, and the losses can always be recovered.

And the importance of Cheon Myung-hoon's transformation into an actor is also self-evident. This trick man is the Virgo of Cheon Myung-hoon, and the meaning is equivalent to his debut as an actor. And the importance of a good or bad debut, of course, is extraordinary.

Park Kyung-hyun, as Loen's carefully selected agent, is actually not difficult to comprehend this intention when you think about it. It's just that he's feeling unfair for IU at the moment, so he doesn't have the level he should have.

……

"One more song!"

"Sing one more song!"

The shouting in the theater brought Park Kyung-hyun back to his senses, and Lee Ji-eun on the stage was a little overwhelmed for a while in the face of everyone's enthusiasm.

Asking for encore, which is a common thing for other singers, is still a request for Lee Ji-eun that has never been made since his debut. Compared with the lukewarm response from the audience after the previous performance, this can almost be regarded as a great favor.

Li Zhien's tired heart was instantly resurrected as if it was fully charged.

Because at the end of the day. As a singer, isn't the recognition you want to get the most this simple sentence?

One more song!

Li Zhien's eyes lit up, and his thinking suddenly became much bolder. In this kind of non-public stage performance, do you sing other songs?

This is really a matter of copyright. Because for ordinary people, it has never been a problem to sing whichever song they like.

But for a debut singer, all performances in public may involve copyright issues. Use without the author's authorization, but use for profit may be prosecuted.

But like this, at the request of the audience, there is no interest involved in another song, which is the most typical situation that can avoid disputes. When Lee Ji-eun was trained before his debut, he remembered this article most clearly.

So she immediately ran to her agent and asked if she could sing songs other than the album. And Park Kyung-hyun didn't hesitate too much, saying that it was her personal freedom. Unless the singing is particularly ugly, he will not interfere.

Lee Ji-eun was overjoyed. I borrowed a guitar from a musician and returned to the theater stage.

"The following song is both dedicated to everyone and sung to myself. I hope you enjoy it. ”
