Less than a week after the Spring Festival, a blockbuster news shocked the entire entertainment industry.

The MBC employee union officially declared a strike, forcing the president of MBC. As the representative of the most radical elements, Kim Tae-ho, whose "Infinite Challenge" directed by him, also bore the brunt of the attack, directly announcing an indefinite suspension of broadcasting until the end of the strike. Other ace variety shows such as "We Are Married" and "I Am a Singer" have also stopped broadcasting in response. Even TV dramas that are being filmed have been discontinued, and the scale of this strike is unprecedented. Basically, the entire MBC TV station was paralyzed.

However, the president of MBC has a tough attitude behind the support of the government, and does not want to negotiate a solution at all. The high-level forces were also fighting openly and secretly, and the contradictions and conflicts were infinitely magnified for a while. Both sides look like they must fight to the death, and they are unwilling to give in the slightest, and Kim Tae-ho is also full of confidence and will never give in.

The production team of Infinite Challenge was also in turmoil, and everyone realized the gravity of the strike.

Obviously, everyone loves this show very much, but they have to use it as a bargaining chip in the game. In order to suppress the union and crack down on "Infinite Challenge", the president of MBC has launched a number of variety shows one after another to fill the gap. Of course, fans didn't buy such a move and began to scold MBC on the Internet, but some fans directly accused Kim Tae-ho, and for a while, the Internet was also chaotic.

Bombarded each other, and netizens were completely unclear about the situation.

Not to mention netizens, even Lin Shiyun himself can't figure out the situation and is blindfolded. What a strange experience it is to have your own show suppressed by your own TV station.

However, Lin Shiyun doesn't have so much energy to deal with MBC, and he is soft-spoken in terms of infinite challenges, so he can't help at all. So leave it all to my brothers to deal with, and just wait for the news by myself.

The annual leave has not yet ended, and all members of CNBlue have gathered together. FNC President Han Seung-ho and all the people in charge of CNBlue, including the operations and music production teams, sat down together to formulate a business plan for CNBlue for the new year.

"In the past year, CNBlue has mainly operated in the domestic market. The official album sold 108,000 copies, ranking seventh among all group groups in terms of revenue......" Minister Liu of the operation department stood in front of the projector to make a report. All of CNBlue's plans are basically planned by him, and he is a very smart person.

Everyone, including the CNBlue Five, listened carefully to his analysis.

"Nine out of ten of our local markets have been developed, and the pressure of domestic competition is relatively large, and the market is relatively narrow. As a band, we are at a disadvantage in competition with other groups. Therefore, we should actively explore overseas markets, knowing that pop music in Europe and the United States has always been led by bands, and we must give full play to the advantages of the internationalization of band music. Minister Liu analyzed.

"So if we open up overseas markets, where is it more feasible to break through?" Kim Young-sun asked.

“RB。 Han Shenghao replied firmly.

"That's right, the president is right. It's RB, Europe and the United States are too far away from us, the cost will be high, and CNBlue is not a solid foundation there. RB is different. Minister Liu looked at the reaction of the crowd and continued.

"RB is where CNBlue first came out, in the Shibuya area of Tokyo, where the children of CNBlue have performed hundreds of indoor performances. So we're familiar with it and we have a certain fan base. The most important point is that RB is recognized as the birthplace of Asian rock music palaces, X-Japan, Moon Sea and other palace-level rock bands, so we went to RB to explore overseas markets and learn about RB's band culture on the other. If possible, hopefully it can be recognized by the mainstream of rock music and get a ticket to next year's RB Rock Festival, then it will be a great opportunity for CNBlue. ”

Lin Shiyun also nodded thoughtfully, it seemed that he was busy again.

"Okay, what's the plan?" asked Han Seung-ho.

"Well, yes, in March, the legendary American band Linkin Park is going to be the opening guest at a concert in Tokyo. Kim Young-sun added.

"Oh, Lincoln Park?" Zheng Ronghe was shocked.

"Wow, Jinja?" both Lim Se-yoon and Min-hyuk looked incredulous.

"Dafabet, Linkin Park invited us to the show...... Wow, really. The second brother Jonghyun couldn't hold back the joy in his heart.

Linkin Park is definitely an imperial existence in world rock.

It's not exciting to be on stage with such a great band.

Han Shenghao also nodded, "Very good, just take this opportunity to release our second official Japanese album, I believe it will achieve good results." Then the third Korean album will also be released at the same time within a month, and while opening up overseas markets, the local roots cannot be lost. ”

Nani released two albums at the same time, less than two months away......

CNBlue, everyone looked at Han Shenghao with an expression of wanting to eat people.

Exploitation, naked exploitation!

"Why are you looking at me like that...... It is our tradition to release a new album every March, and it cannot be changed. Han Shenghao said confidently.

"But the center has to be shifted to this Japanese album, and the local album would just be a mini album. Han Shenghao added.

……

……

Lin Shiyun sat in Jiang Chengxun's car and rushed to the crew to film, and Lin Shiyun held his guitar and began to practice. Recently, he has a lot of schedules, and he has little time left to practice his instrument, so he can only use the time he is in a hurry or waiting for the standby to practice.

"Shiyun, take a break, I've rested for less than four hours today, so don't practice. You see, the dark circles under your eyes are all coming out. Li Meizhu couldn't stand it anymore.

"Nuna, if you don't practice, you won't be able to get rusty if you don't touch the instrument for a day, and besides, you will have to perform on stage again in a short time, and it will be a concert at Linkin Park, I ......" Lin Shiyun replied.

"You have to show your skills, after all, the band has always been a dream shared by all five of us. ”

"Huh...... I know, we Shiyun, but you have to pay more attention, you've been too tired lately. Kang Sung-hoon replied with a smile while driving.

"Brother, do you think I seem to be a little biased?" Lin Shiyun suddenly asked Jiang Chengxun, although Jiang Chengxun is also not very old, he is very old and wise, so if he has troubles, he will talk to him the most.

"Oh, why do you say that all of a sudden?" Kang Sung-hoon asked rhetorically.

"I just wanted to be a singer and just sing my own songs. But after my debut, I slowly became famous, and I realized that I didn't seem to be a pure singer every day. I was afraid that I would be blinded by these beautiful people, and I was afraid that I might one day forget my original intention. Lin Shiyun's tone was a little depressed as he spoke.

Because of the fatigue of being busy, this twenty-two-year-old young man has more to think about life.

"I've never been an artist, so it's hard to understand how you're feeling right now. But I think since this is the direction you choose, then rely on your own inner thoughts and try to find a right path. Regardless of the outcome, in the end, you will not regret it. Jiang Chengxun replied seriously.

"Well, I guess it's time for me to rethink it. Lin Shiyun touched his chin, "Brother Chengxun, Sister Meizhu, do you have any good suggestions?"

"Actually, when you asked this question, you must have already had an ambiguous answer in your heart, right?" Li Meizhu replied with a smile, "You just need someone who can affirm your thoughts to help you make up your mind." ”

Lin Shiyun nodded, it seemed that Li Meizhu really knew him.

"Then do what you want, no matter what, nuna will support you!" Lee Mi-joo gestured with a fist.

"And you Brother Chengxun, hehe!" Jiang Chengxun also made a fist.
