Chapter 86: Park Jin-young's Legendary Life
“JYP?”
Cheon Myung-hoon brainstormed for a while, but still looked at Yoo Hyun-shin suspiciously.
SK also owns a stake in JYP, and Kim Jong-ri said he has a good personal relationship with JYP's president. It should be no problem to help contact this matter. ”
Yoo Hyun-shin has been an agent for a short time and has no concept of Park Jin-young. Although the company of the popular king Rain belongs to JYP, JYP is still a small company. Judging from the number of artists in operation, the scale and strength are far less than that of S.M.
Among the current three giants in the music industry, DSP was established the earliest (1991). And the main opponent of the DSP has always been S.M. The pattern of the two rivalries didn't change until JYP's Rain came out.
YG was founded in '96 and JYP was founded in '97. So far, it is only a new company with a history of less than ten years, and it is really not a behemoth.
But Cheon Myung-hoon is different, he is very interested in Park Jin-young as a person.
Park Jin-young's life experience is wonderful, and now it is just a small appearance. If you push back ten years, you can really be regarded as a legend.
The most important thing is that he is a person, which made Cheon Myung-hoon very curious for a while. How could someone be the president of the company and still be so unserious? When managing its artists, it is really an alternative.
Countless potential stocks have slipped away from JYP, and they are still doing well. This kind of thing is a fantasy at S.M. From the perspective of a manager, Park Jin-young's way of relying on feelings is definitely not wise.
But after digging deeper, I realized that Park Jin-young is a person with dreams and pursuits. In his mind, if you want to rank the singer, producer, and president. Probably the president is the last one.
His act of sending Wondergirls to the United States at the height of his life has been criticized and slandered by countless passers-by. SONE also thanked Park Jinying for eliminating a big rival when he was young. Play well with an assist.
But what people don't know is that Park Jin-young's move, although seemingly insatiable, is unrealistic. But in fact, it comes from the persistence and dreams of the heart!
Think about it, even if it was as strong as S.M, it didn't dare to step out of the Asian market. At that time, JYP weighed its own weight, how could it be out of a gambling mentality to enter the United States?
At that time, Rain had already left JYP to set up his own business, and the only capital in JYP's hands was Wondergirls. In order to send Wondergirls to the United States, Park Jin-young is even willing to take on huge debts. Taking all the capital in your hand to gamble is called a desperate bet. But if you don't just want to gamble on everything in front of you, you also have to put your future on the mortgage.
This is beyond the ambition of a normal person, and can only be explained by dreams. Think about it, do you have the courage to do such a thing?
"Even if you succeed in overseas development, you won't make a lot of money. I don't earn anything but my salary and royalties, and the money I earn goes to pay interest. My current property is only a very small villa in the United States and a company with a 5-story building, but I will continue to invest in JYP with these properties, personal credit and future as a guarantee and work hard to pay off my debts. ”
This is his original words in the later talk show "Riding the Wind and Waves". However, time has passed, and Park Jin-young has long been firmly in the third place in the total value of artists' holdings in the Korean entertainment industry.
But more importantly, he has always adhered to the original intention of the singer. Never stopped composing and making music.
At the 2015 MAMA Asian Music Festival, Park Jin-young won the Best Male Singer Award at the age of 44. In his acceptance speech, he said something like this, which left a deep impression on me.
"I want to prove one thing to everyone: the lifespan of a singer is very long. Rest assured!"
Warmth, touching, reassuring.
What other words can I describe my feelings at that moment?
Self-made, a cloth dress. There is no big consortium behind JYP, so the road to chasing dreams is indeed bumpy. But looking back in the future, Park Jin-young's life is indeed legendary.
(The author of this paragraph is just writing his personal opinion.) It was not written as a novel, and please understand the play. )
Although it is a bit strange to say, Park Jin-young's position in Cheon Myung-hoon's heart is indeed a bit similar to an idol and role model.
So the thought of going to JYP to meet a young gorilla makes me a little excited.
"Then let's go to JYP!" Cheon Myung-hoon agreed with great interest.
"Ah...... All right. ”
Yoo Hyun-shin didn't react for a while, why did Cheon Myung-hoon agree so quickly. He felt that the proposal needed to be considered. If it is discovered by the media, the involvement may be greater than renting a public practice room.
But now that Cheon Myung-hoon has "given the order", his task has become to minimize all risks as much as possible.
"Look at you like this, don't go out today, rest in the dormitory! I'll contact Kim Jong-ri and go to JYP tomorrow to see how it's going. ”
"Okay, then it's hard brother. ”
"It's okay, then I'll go first. Yoo Hyun-shin picked up his coat and walked to the door.
"Brother help me take the garbage down by the way, I've already sorted it!"
“…… You kid!"

Watching Yoo Hyun-shin drive away from the balcony, Cheon Myung-hoon looked at the street scene outside the window for a while before returning to the house.
Today is November 22nd, and the solar term is light snow. It is customary to have the first snowfall.
Chuxue has a special meaning in traditional Korean love stories. It is said that if you confess to the person you like on that day, love will be fulfilled.
This symbol is also frequently used in Korean dramas, and it entrusts the good wishes of countless young girls. Although Chimyung-hoon doesn't care if it really has such magical powers now.
On the day when "Snow Flower" first sounded on TV last year, although the solar term was not a light snow, it happened to fall in Seoul for the first time in 04.
Cheon Myung-hoon didn't realize the connection. This is what he occasionally saw when he searched for himself on the Internet just now. Hearing netizens say that it is Xiaoxue again today, Qian Mingxun is also quite emotional.
Before I knew it, I had been debuting for a whole year. Although he has not yet become an artist, his mentality is not the same as before.
Qian Mingxun is not without worrying about whether everyone will forget himself after the blank period of more than half a year. But he found that he didn't need to worry.
The charm of a classic song takes time to precipitate. If everyone can remember the song "Snow Flower" in the first snow every year, then Chimyung-hoon will never be forgotten by the people.
It's like writing a song of your own!
Really, really want to!
Cheon Myung-hoon pushed open the door next to the bedroom, which was a dedicated composition room. In addition to not being able to move the piano, it was replaced by an electronic keyboard. The musical instruments that Cheon Myung-hoon can master are all available here.
Close the door and sit down in the middle swivel chair. Preparing a blank sheet of paper and a pen, Cheon Myung-hoon slowly closed his eyes.
