Chapter 439: Rain
On March 12, Lee Ji-eun and Lee Hong-gi won the second consecutive championship of the Music Bank. At a time when the momentum was surging, S*M's new F(X) album "NUABO", which had been promoted for more than ten days, was released at this moment.
With S*M's concentrated promotion efforts, the results of this album are not bad, and compared to other singers who have fallen into the storm of Ahn Jung-hoon, it is very good. But the industry is very puzzling, it is unwise to release a girl group album at such a time, and it is understandable if it is a boy group album. Even if you can promote S*M, you can change the time period, and obviously the results can be much better?
The industry's incomprehension has not lasted for two days.
On March 14, Lee Ji-eun and Lee Hong-gi won the second consecutive championship in popular songs, and announced that they would stop playing the charts in the eyes of everyone.
The industry was in an uproar.
Damn, I was played by Ahn Jung-hoon and Kim Young-min!
Lee Ji-eun's momentum this time, to be honest, it is not a problem to break the so-called record of nine consecutive championships, because this is a purely cheating album, and many people are already planning to pinch their noses to see how many consecutive championships it can win.
But Ahn Jung-hoon chose to let her stop after playing on the stage for two episodes, which was unexpected by everyone, but it was understandable when you thought about it. First of all, he wants to push Lee Ji-eun to a traditional singer, and occupying such a chart-playing stage for a long time is easy to leave a deep-rooted idol impression in people's hearts that "they will gain popularity", and the transformation is not good. Secondly, he has considered the rules of the industry, and he does not want to cause public outrage for half a year like the non-stop slaughter list at the end of last year, which is making way.
And Kim Yingmin obviously got the communication in advance, and brazenly grasped the first time when he gave way, this is a living God-given opportunity, almost no one sings during this time period, except for the previously sunken kara and 2AM are still struggling, where in the world are there any deterrent opponents?
The major companies regretted it, and they were ready to release singers who had been pressing for me for an unknown amount of time, and even more of them didn't want to be disciplined, and they didn't want the publicity period, so they hurriedly prepared to release songs by surprise, but found that they were still a beat slower. On March 15th, the secret mini album "secrettime" was released, and the two rookie girl groups with a gap of only one month between their debuts, and the two albums were born one after another during this time period, which immediately formed a natural hype atmosphere of dragon fighting, and the public's eyes even began to move away from Ahn Jung-hoon and Lee Ji-eun, and they paid attention to these two new groups.
Unless it is a fan group with a single attribute, normally speaking, what most people want to see is competition and gimmicks, and no one likes to see a monopoly that dominates. F(X) and secret appeared at the right time, satisfying the expectations of many people for the girl group world, which is enough!
Major newspapers, magazines, and major radio programs have finally shifted the focus of discussion from IU to F (X) and secret, various analyses and various studies have been premediated, and there have been tears on the Internet.
Of course, kara and 2AM are not dead yet, and it is still difficult for F(X) and secret to take one, but whether it is Kim Young-min or Kim Tae-song, the expectations for them are not necessarily to take one, of course it is best to take it, and it is okay if you can't take it, what you want is this seemingly fiery momentum, which is the foundation of Yiqiē.
Idol, with popularity, it's easy to say.
The most intuitive embodiment is that their announcements immediately increased. In the past, it relied on resources and connections to stuff into various programs, but now it has begun to be actively invited by program groups and commercial performances.
With the announcement, there is another intuitive embodiment, that is, income.
This is especially true of Secret, who has moved out of the basement and into the company's newly rented apartment. Although it is still a small apartment, the feeling that it is thriving and getting better makes people feel very comfortable.
Jeon Hyo-sung was in such a mood, willingly kneeling under Ahn Jung-hoon's desk, serving him with his chest and ground. She was fully into the role, and even asked him if he wanted to bring Shanhua with them?
Ahn Jung-hoon smiled and looked down at the report.
The first is the completion report of the renovation of LOEN Building 2, and Ahn Jung-hoon approved the final payment.
Second, based on the draft opinion on the relocation arrangement of the office space after the completion of Building 2, Ahn Zhengxun put pen to paper.
The third is the detailed outline of the script of "Dreamhigh" in the TV drama department, which Ahn Jung-hoon is reading carefully and making some revisions from time to time. Quan Xiaosheng swallowed under the table, making him work very energetically.
After working for a while, Ahn Jung-hoon put down the script and took a break, bowed his head and smiled: "I often let you come over these days, has it affected your work?"
Quan Xiaosheng raised his head and smiled slightly: "This is also my job." ”
"Huh...... If you're so well-behaved, you won't be at a loss. Ahn Jeong-hoon reached out and touched her head: "Tomorrow on the 19th of the music bank, you can't participate yet...... Get ready, participate. ”
Quan Xiaosheng blinked: "So good? I heard that F(X) is also your person, aren't you afraid that we will defeat them?"
"Haha......" Ahn Jung-hoon said with a smile: "Although your opponent is indeed F(X)...... But the two of you, let's cross the mountain of kara first. ”
"Why don't you say 2AM?"
"Men's group...... Do a good job and help me trample them to death. ”
"Poof......
"Oops, watch out for your teeth......"
"Bite you!"
"Hmph, there's no chance. Stand up. ”
"What?"
"If you have the ability, you can also have teeth underneath and bite me to death. ”
“……”
Jeon Hyo-sung has been in a good mood lately, and Ahn Jung-hoon is about the same. In her, Ahn Jung-hoon found a sense of lightness.
I want you, and you do, and that's it. There are a lot less entanglements, and everyone's hearts are not tired.
Many times, tiredness just comes from one's own hypocrisy. Later, it is often a panacea.
*******************
March 19, backstage at the Music Bank.
It's been five months since Secret's debut, but it's the first time I've participated in this kind of regular stage chart, and it's sad to say it. As newcomers who have just debuted, they go to visit their seniors one by one.
"Hello seniors, we are secret, please take care of us. The four girls bowed deeply, very respectfully.
When Kara and the others were still there, the one who abruptly lined up in the No. 1 standby room was naturally not an ordinary senior...... Instead, it can be regarded as a super popular predecessor at the level of calling for wind and rain, his name is rain.
For a small artist, if he offends a senior of Rain's level, it is probably not much different from offending An Zhengxun, and he will die anyway.
Rain squinted at the four girls in front of him, feeling very unhappy.
He is one of the festival emperors who recently released a surprise song, and released a new song "Keep Your Song".
He is an important shareholder of the company to which he belongs and has sufficient discretionary decision-making power. The cooperation between Ahn Jung-hoon and Kim Young-min caught him off guard, and if he had been steadily promoting for a period of time before releasing the song, he believed that with his popularity, it would not be a problem to easily sell a good result. But this time he was out of proportion, he always felt that this opportunity was too good, even the two new girl groups on the street could have so much attention, and his popularity went out at this time to be invincible in the world, and it was a pity not to take the opportunity to kick it, so he hurriedly released a song in advance.
With the time when he released the song, he would not have been able to participate in this issue of Music Bank. But everyone has their own way, Ahn Jeong-hoon can stuff people casually, and of course he can too.
In fact, he regretted it after posting the song, what is the hurry...... After no publicity, after all, he still suffered a loss, and the sales results were not as ideal as he imagined, and there are still many fans who don't know that he has released a new song, and the popularity of his new song topic is not even as hot as the competition topic of the two new girl groups.
It would have been good to know that it would be good to promote calmly and release songs steadily, as long as it doesn't encounter that kind of unreasonable album again, no matter who you are, you may not be able to mess with yourself! This time it's really a big loss. In contrast, the secret of this bird in front of him is actually like Kim Young-min, who has communicated with Ahn Jung-hoon, and it took more than ten days to publicize the song, taking advantage of it.
So he's upset.
The seniors are unhappy, of course it is easy to do, and it is not too simple to bully and bully the juniors.
Secret bowed and saluted for a long time, but he didn't see rain reply, knowing that this senior was going to play prestige, but he didn't dare to disobey. The seniors didn't speak, so they honestly bowed there, bowed for several minutes, their waists were sore, and they gritted their teeth and didn't dare to say anything.
The agent was also a little helpless on the side, and finally spoke: "rainXI...... This ......"
Rain glanced at him and said lightly: "A new debuting girl, it is a good thing to cultivate willpower, this is the advice of a senior." ”
"Yes......" broker is helpless. Under the strange system of South Korea, there are really a lot of reasons for the predecessors to do this, and it can be said that the younger generations have to thank them for their lives......
The four girls stiffened and bowed there, feeling like they were about to break...... Tears swirled in his eyes, and he didn't even dare to drip them.
At this moment, there was a "knock" on the door twice. Rain raised his eyes and looked at it, frightened by a spirit, and hurriedly bowed: "Hello President An, it's really brilliant to be here." ”
An Zhengxun strode in and helped up the four girls one by one, but he never said a word.
He didn't say a word, and Rain didn't dare to stand up straight, just opposite to the scene just now. As the minutes passed, he finally experienced the pain of the girls just now, his waist was sore and painful, and then he tended to be numb, and even felt that it was difficult to stand up straight, as if that part no longer belonged to him......
This time, it was Rain's agent's turn to intercede: "President An, you ......"
"Oh, small company and small shareholders, it's good to cultivate willpower, this is the president's advice. ”R1152
