Chapter 803: IU's Debut (5)
"Hello director, I'm Jin Yufan, this is our MC rookie singer IU, I'm going to ask you to take care of me in the future. The first thing I did when I came to SBS TV, Jin Yufan naturally took IU to find the director of the "Popular Ballads" program group to visit.
Although Jin Yufan did not participate in this issue of "Popular Ballads", Jin Yufan's identity and status are there, and it is impossible for someone to be stopped and not allowed to enter the "Popular Ballads" area.
Since IU is a singer, and more importantly, he is a solo singer, so this is also destined to have a lot of time for IU in major music programs in the future, far more than the team's time in variety shows, so it is necessary to establish a good relationship with the program team staff of major music programs and the director.
After all, IU is just a solo singer, and his popularity and development speed are not as good as the team group, and the live performance is definitely not as imposing as the team group, which depends on the personal relationship with the director of the program team, and then let the director help you out.
As long as the director is willing, nodding and agreeing, even if it is a solo singer, what if you are given the right time to appear, there is still enough rehearsal time, a single waiting room, and even a small special stage can be provided for you, which can benefit IU a lot.
Similarly, no matter how awesome the team combination is, it provokes the director, and when the time comes to perform, the camera is deliberately not aimed at the stage, or it does not prove that it is facing you, and even interspersed with a top-down camera from time to time, maybe the reaction shots of the fans, unconsciously. You can reduce your broadcast volume to a minimum.
There are even some veteran photographers who have mastered a set of lenses that seem to be aimed at the artist with all their might, but in the end, the artist is not brilliant at all. Even the technology that will make a fool of itself is called awesome. offended the director of the show, and the director gave an order, wanting to fix your minute-by-minute matter.
"Hello director, I'm a rookie singer IU, please take care of me!" said Lee Ji-eun's eyesight, at least within the MC company. Whether it's an artist or a trainee, it seems that as long as you don't talk much, you have a dull personality. They all belong to the kind of people who are very discerning, and it seems that these people spend all their time talking on observing others.
"Oh, hello hello, IU, right. Work hard. I believe you will become a top singer in the future!" The director of "Popular Ballads" was stunned for a moment, but his reaction was not slow, and he immediately smiled and said a word of encouragement to Li Zhien, and then shifted the target to Jin Yufan.
Although knowing the general trend of today's music team combination, MC company still launched a solo female singer, and at such a young age, then this IU must have strong strength and potential.
But in the music world, whose strength is poor. is really poor, and there is no production space in the music industry. As for the potential. It takes time to manifest itself, and it won't show up in a short period of time.
In contrast, Kim Yufan, who is next to Lee Ji-eun, has become the focus of the director's attention. There is no way, with Jin Yufan's identity and status, no matter which TV station or program group he goes to, he will enjoy the highest and best treatment, and he is also the focus of people's attention and the center of everyone.
"Yu Fan, congratulations to your MC on launching a great singer again, I remember that some time ago your MC just launched T-ara, and now T-ara is reorganized, planning to fight against Girls' Generation, it seems that your team T-ara is very confident. But I didn't expect that in just a few months, you have launched a solo rookie female singer, if other companies I thought I would be too anxious, but your MCs are currently very good, the development is very smooth, and the same is true for artists, so I have to believe in your choice. In short, your MC company will be the No. 1 music company in Korea from now on. β
"Hehe, director, you are too polite, our MC company has not done enough, and we will have to work harder in the future, which also needs your help and support from the director!"
At that time, Li Zhien on the side felt a little shocked when he heard Jin Yufan's words. Because Li Zhien never thought that his teacher, the person who was high up and like a god, would sometimes be like this.
But this is the rule, since everyone plays in a circle, it takes a long time to follow the rules, so that everyone can play happily.
Although Jin Yufan usually doesn't like it or is not used to it, it doesn't mean that Jin Yufan is pedantic, when necessary, Jin Yufan also knows where to be, who to face, and what kind of words are most appropriate.
"By the way, Kim Yu Fan Xi, I heard that you are preparing your new album. How about it, when the time comes to return to the stage of the first battle, how about coming to our "Popular Ballads". β
Kim Yu-beom's preparation of a new album broke the news on SBS TV's "Strong Heart", and as the director of SBS's "Popular Ballads", he was of course the first to learn the news.
After all, things gather like things, "Strong Heart" and "Popular Ballads" are both signature programs of SBS TV, and the directors of several programs naturally get together when they have nothing to do, and they chat and share news.
After learning that Kim Yu-fan was preparing for the return of his new album, the director of "Popular Ballads" had a mind and wanted to make Jin Yu-fan's return to the stage the first stop in "Popular Ballads".
No way, who let this be Jin Yufan, think about every time Jin Yufan returns before, in the expectation of countless fans, almost returning to the first stop on the stage can attract huge attention, and it can also make the ratings of the song show explode.
Although this is only a temporary report, at least it is not a broken table. The director of "Popular Ballads" also wants Kim Yu Fan's new album to return to the stage and chooses to be in "Popular Ballads", in addition to breaking the table, it is also to announce to the outside world the relationship between SBS TV and Kim Yu Fan, which may seem useless and meaningless, but after a long time, maybe something will happen in the future, who knows what role the relationship that seems meaningless now will play at that time.
In these years, everyone is a human being, not a god, so naturally I don't know what will happen in the future. So, all you can do is prepare as much as you can. Casting a wide net to form good relationships may be able to help you the most when you need it in the future. It even brings you back to life and turns defeat into victory.
After chatting with Kim Yu-beom for a few words, the director directly stated his ultimate goal, and seemed to be afraid that Kim Yu-beom would not agree, so he hurriedly added: "I dare not say that our SBS TV's "Popular Ballads" is the best ballad program in the Republic of Korea, but at least I can say that no one can surpass our "Popular Songs". β
Jin Yufan does not deny this. SBS's "Popular Songs", KBS's "Music Bank", and MBC's "Music Center" are three ballad programs. It's originally a level, and no one dares to say that it's stronger than whom.
At that time, Mnet's "M!Countdown" ballad show, although it was also good, was due to the time and backstage nature. is somewhat weaker than the song programs of the three major TV stations.
Of course. In terms of the quality of the program, "M!Countdown" is absolutely no problem, but who makes "M!Countdown" in the background is Mnet, sometimes he likes to play the matter of taking care of his own people, and he also plays too obviously, completely slapping others in the face casually. Otherwise, S? Company M will not completely turn against Mnet, not because of the MAMA Asian Music Awards. Mnet went too far, making the strongest and most popular back then. The best developed Girls' Generation did not get an award and was given to its own artist, which also became S? M and Mnet completely tore the fuse of the skin.
Seeing Jin Yufan nodding, the director also became excited: "So, I hope that Jin Yufan Xi's return to the stage will be the first stop, and he can choose our "Popular Ballads". Of course, I know that "Music Bank" and "Music Center" are no worse than our "Popular Songs", and they will definitely send an invitation to Jin Yu Fan Xi, and you will not be able to choose Jin Yu Fan Xi when the time comes. But here, I can guarantee that as long as Jin Yu Fan Xi chooses "Popular Ballads" as the first stop on the stage, we will definitely give sincerity, IU I look good at this kid, I can help appropriately, and T-ara had such an accident, it is indeed not the fault of those children, I think I can also come to "Popular Ballads" to return, and I can properly arrange a good special small stage for T-ara when the time comes. Of course, if Jin Yu Fan Xi had promised someone else before, then forget it, but what I just said is still valid. β
The director is very smart, and he also gave conditions and sincerity without putting pressure on Jin Yufan, and more importantly, in the end, the director did not force it, and even the conditions given did not intend to be withdrawn.
Jin Yufan had to sigh, in the end, it is the director of "Popular Ballads", and there is really no one who is stupid who can achieve this position.
Let's not say that Jin Yufan hasn't promised KBS and MBC yet, even if he agrees, so what, shop around, the conditions given by "Popular Ballads" are obviously better, why should Jin Yufan refuse. Especially today is the day of IU's debut, the first stop is "Popular Ballad", if you refuse, although Jin Yufan is not worried that IU will be rectified by "Popular Ballad" because of her refusal, but it is estimated that she will not get any good treatment.
Thinking of this, Jin Yufan was silent for a moment, and finally nodded and said, "OK, since the director said so, what else can I say." Well, when the time comes, I'll go back and discuss with Brother Shengcheng, and put the first stop of my return to the stage on "Popular Songs". β
After listening to Jin Yufan's words, the director immediately laughed happily. Although Jin Yufan said that he would go back to discuss with Hong Shengcheng, but whether Jin Yufan is the chairman of the MC company or not, this is just a polite word, it is a habit that many things are not afraid to make a decision at the time, and they need to go back and think carefully and discuss it with others.
But the director is very confident in the conditions he prescribed, and he really didn't plan to yin Jin Yufan and MC anything, and he was not afraid that Jin Yufan would go back to discuss with Hong Shengcheng. In the director's opinion, if nothing else, the cooperation between the two sides this time is finalized.
Because IU is about to make his debut, and the new ones can't be new anymore, Kim Yu-beom just chatted with the director for a while, and after initially setting his intention to return to the stage, he left with Lee Ji-eun with the director's understanding smile and went to visit the singers who participated in "Popular Songs" at the same time.
At this time, at this time period, most of the singers who are dancing on the music list are Kim Tae-woo, most of them are Kim Yu-fan's juniors, which also makes Kim Yu-fan hold his head high. I had a good feel for the benefits and posture of my Korean predecessors.
As for Kim Tae-woo, although Kim Woo-bum is a junior, he is the chairman of a large company in the end. This identity alone made Kim Tae-woo receive Kim Yu-beom cautiously, and he didn't dare to slack off in the slightest.
After all, Kim Tae-woo is also an old artist who has debuted for many years, and he knows very well that with Kim Woo-beom's current status, let alone destroying himself, even if he wants to destroy GOD, it is just an idea. Then make a few phone calls and pay a little profit to get things done.
And Kim Woo-beom didn't have a good impression of Kim Tae-woo either, if it weren't for the fact that this time he brought IU to visit his seniors. Kim Tae-woo is the biggest predecessor in this issue of "Popular Ballads", if you don't come, you can't do it, otherwise Kim Yu-beom really plans to find a reason not to visit.
In addition to Kim Tae-woo, there are many second- and third-rate singers. For these singers. Although Jin Yufan is not arrogant, he also knows that these people are not famous, and there is no need to have deep friendships, but they are polite enough to do the rules and etiquette.
As for first-class singers and groups, such as Lee Seung Gi, SHINee, and 2PM, except for one SHINee, whether it is Lee Seung Gi or 2PM, Kim Yu Beom's influence is not very good.
2PM didn't have a good feeling. It was entirely because of Park Jae-beom, when things broke out. No one stood up to support Park Jae-beom, and even faintly fanned the flames, Nima's team is interesting and "righteous"!
Needless to say, Kim Yu-fan always felt that this Lee Seung-gi looked honest and honest, but in fact he was a smiling tiger who was good at scheming and intrigue.
Whether it was the insulting incident or Jiang Hudong's tax evasion, as the person Jiang Hudong took care of and promoted, he actually kept silent about this matter, which clearly showed that he did not want to be involved in the Jiang Hudong incident, so as not to be affected.
Nima, what if you intervene, make a statement that everyone is calm and waiting for the investigation of the matter, will it kill people, this kind of impartial words, will it make you attacked, even if you are really attacked, there is not much, after all, no one is a madman to bite people casually, with Jiang Hudong's care for you, are you unwilling to bear the attacks of some villains.
But you don't know how comforting it was psychologically for Jiang Hudong to stand up at this critical moment, even if you didn't help Jiang Hudong when you said it at the time.
But Lee Seung Ki did remain silent on this matter, and when Jiang Hudong made a comeback, it seemed that there was a clear distance from Lee Sheng Gi, at least he could no longer see the tacit intimacy between the two in "Two Days and One Night" and "Strong Heart".
Not to mention the relationship with Yun'er in the end, Nima has not been public for a while, but it was suddenly made public when she joined the army, why is this, isn't it just to maintain attention, so as not to decline in popularity when she enlisted in the army.
But the question is, you are so public, have you considered Yuna, have you considered S? Company M's reaction, how much impact this incident will have on Yuna's career.
In short, whether it is a conspiracy or a coincidence, even if it is a coincidence, this coincidence is too scary, and the coincidence is too conspiratorial. Anyway, for Lee Seung Gi, Kim Yufan doesn't have a good impression.
Regarding Lee Seung Gi's flattery, Kim Yu Fan just smiled politely, not approaching or distancing, and finally left Lee Seung Gi's waiting room with Lee Ji Eun, walked in the corridor, looked at no one in front and back, thought about it, Kim Yu Fan suddenly said to Lee Ji Eun beside him: "Ji Eun, you have to pay attention to this Lee Seung Gi, keep a certain distance in the future, this Lee Seung Ki is not a good person." β
"Senior Lee Seung-gi?" Li Zhien looked at Jin Yufan in surprise, and after seeing Jin Yufan's strict appearance, he hurriedly nodded his little head: "Inside, I know OPPA, I will pay attention to it in the future." β
For Lee Ji-eun, whatever Kim Yu-fan says is what he is, since Kim Yu-bum said that Lee Seung-gi has a problem, he is not a good person. Although Lee Ji-eun doesn't feel that Lee Seung-gi is not like that kind of person, since Kim Yu-fan has said it, then what else is there to doubt, it must be to believe Kim Yu-fan's words.
After all, who is near and farther, who is good for himself, this Li Zhien is still clear. Kim Yu-fan is good to himself, Lee Ji-eun has always remembered in his heart, how can Lee Seung-gi be compared to an outsider. What's more, what he said just now, maybe Jin Yufan was worried that he would suffer a loss in the future, so he specially reminded himself.
Although I don't know who Lee Seung-gi is, with Kim Yu-fan's words, Lee Ji-eun also feels that it is estimated that Kim Yu-fan has been debuting for many years, knows a lot of secrets, and also knows Lee Seung-gi's personality, so he reminded himself.
Thinking about the time when he visited Lee Seung Gi just now, Kim Yu Fan's politeness to Lee Sheng Gi, although it didn't seem obvious, but as a student of Kim Yu Fan, Lee Ji Eun still clearly felt Kim Yu Fan's estrangement from Lee Sheng Gi.
Thinking about Kim Yufan's character, he actually took the initiative to alienate himself, which shows that Lee Seung Gi is really not a good person.
"Well, since OPPA said so, then Lee Seung Gi is definitely not a good person, and he must pay attention to this matter in the future!" Thinking about this, Li Zhien secretly warned himself in his heart.
"In the future, you should also pay attention to this Lee Seung-gi!" Just that Li Zhien nodded, Jin Yufan was still not at ease, and turned his head to Li Zhien's agent Han Yongjun to remind.
"Inside, I know the president!" Han Yongjun nodded in response to the fact that he knew.
For Han Yongjun, don't think too much about it at all, the president is the biggest, and he can do whatever he says, it's nothing, many brokerage companies are strict with the management and control of their artists, and even strict to the perverted Cheng DΓΉ, not to mention that Jin Yufan just reminded that this is nothing at all.
What's more, with Jin Yufan's identity and relationship with Li Zhien, Han Yongjun will not suspect that Jin Yufan will harm Li Zhien. Then there is only one result, and that is that Lee Seung Gi does have a problem.
Thinking of this, Han Yongjun squinted his eyes and deeply wrote down Lee Seung-gi's name in his heart, but what he remembered was on the blacklist. (To be continued......)
