Chapter 148: Brother Shen Kan
2008 was the year of the Great Depression, and the subprime mortgage crisis that began in '07 is now gradually getting out of control. When the news came that several global super financial institutions were either bankrupt or taken over by various governments, the storm officially took shape, until September 9, 08, when the financial storm finally formed a financial tsunami that swept the world.
All countries have been affected by this financial tsunami, and the global economy has been hit one after another. South Korea is also one of the affected countries, and its cultural industry has exploded in amazement at this difficult time, under the influence of problems such as the collapse of the stock market, the rise in prices, the sharp decline in export growth, and the soaring unemployment rate.
First, Choi Jun-seok sold a demonic 600,000 records in the first half of the year, and then countless singers returned in the second half of the year, whether it was Lee Hyo-ri, Rain, Son Danfei, Baek Ji-young and other solo singers, or TVXQ, BigBang, Wondergirls and other groups, in this economic depression environment, they still achieved good results and became one of the few bright spots in the economic growth of the South Korean government.
But at this moment of rejoicing that should have been uplifting, our two lyrical kings sighed. Because, the prosperity of the song industry is naturally a good thing, but as Kim Jong Kook, who has retired from the army and wants to make a comeback, this is not something to be happy about.
Although Kim Jong Kook is very confident in his own strength, it does not mean that he will be blindly proud, thinking that he must be better than these colleagues; although Choi Jun-seok's composition ability is very sharp, but "Today is More Than Yesterday" and "It's Not That Simple" have not really been tested by the music market, and no one dares to be 100% sure that they will succeed.
Only practice is the only criterion for testing the truth. Before you really stand up and accept the test of fans, fans, and the market, it's too early to say anything!
First of all, I was so pressed by Choi Jun-seok's series that I couldn't even afford the idea of returning; I finally survived the promotion period of Choi Jun-seok's series, and then I met BIGBANG's "One Day at a Time", and then "One Day at a Time" just started, and Lee Hyo-ri's "U-Go-Girl" came out again; this is not counting, and then TVXQ, Rain, Sun Danfei, Wondergirls and others also returned with their own strong works, whether it is "One Day at a Time", "U-Go-Girl"; Incantations", "rainism", "nobody". Even "Crazy", these are not opponents that can be taken lightly, to be fair, each of these songs is no worse than the main hit of Choi Jun-seok's original album, or rather. It's even better!
For example, BIGBANG's "One Day at a Time". It's a song that even Choi Joon-seok likes very much. What do you say "u-go-girl"? Choi Jun-seok said that the MV he will never watch again in this life is "u-go-girl" by Lee Hyo-ri, the royal sister who makes him want to die! ^_^
Therefore, Kim Jong Kook's current situation is quite embarrassing, sandwiched between this series of classics and strong singers. Just like Choi Jun-seok said, Kim Jong Kook's return is really too much of a disaster!
The two of them sitting in the rest area of the gym were silent for a while, and Kim Jong Kook was the first to break the silence, and he pretended to smile relaxedly. "Forget it, don't think about these things, let's exercise first!"
Cui Junxi's eyebrows couldn't help jumping, speechless.
Looking at Choi Jun-seok's ridiculous expression, Kim Jong Kook Wan'er, he put his arms around Choi Jun-seok's shoulders affectionately, and said with a smile, "An-la, An-la." Brother believes in your strength, and even if you mess up this time, there will be next time, when the time comes, you can write a few more classics for your brother, anyway, you will be responsible for your brother"
"Wow!!" Choi Jun-seok turned his head. looked at him in shock, and shouted absurdly, "Brother, doing your album is almost annoying me to death." Do you want to have a next time?Dream on you!!"
Dare you treat me as your royal writer, uh, no. Is it a composer? Besides, do you think this good song is a cabbage all over the ground? If you want to pick it? Choi Jun-seok was angry with this brother's irresponsible words.
"Hehe" Kim Jong Kook smiled indifferently, 'forcibly' pulled Choi Jun-seok up, and said triumphantly, "Anyway, I'm relying on you, you can't run away, obediently accept your fate! quack quack~~~"
What are you talking about? I have a very pure male-to-male relationship with you, don't say some strange things, okay! Choi Jun-seok was made to cry and laugh by the 'shameless' side of Kim Jong Kook in the gym
,
After a morning of messing around with Kim Jong Kook, a muscle brother, in the gym, Choi Jun Seok finally saw this brother's resentment about fitness, looking at Kim Jong Kook's series of training courses, he could only say that this brother is not an artist, it is more appropriate to be a fitness coach! ^_^
Originally, the two of them who had finished their workout should have gone to have a meal together, but when they were rushing through the cold and leaving, Kim Jong Kook temporarily received a phone call, because there was something temporary, so the two could only regretfully go their separate ways at the door.
Looking at the car shadow of Kim Jong Kook going away alone, Choi Jun-seok suddenly felt that he should also buy a private car, otherwise sometimes it would be really inconvenient to do something alone!
The idea of buying a car didn't come to an end until Choi Jun-seok got into a taxi, and after telling the driver about getting to Yeouido, Choi Jun-seok took out his mobile phone and played boredly online.
"Huh?!!"
Choi Jun-seok, who was shopping around the Internet, occasionally flipped to his Twitter, and suddenly found that one of the friends he followed had updated Twitter, he curiously clicked in to take a look, and then 'poof' and laughed.
"Puff haha ^_^"
“???”
Choi Jun-seok's 'people are crazy' made the driver uncle in front of him glance at him inexplicably in the rearview mirror.
"I'm sorry~" Choi Jun-seok remembered that he was sitting in someone's car, so he pulled his hat embarrassedly and apologized to the driver's uncle.
"Oh, oh!" Cui Junxi's politeness made the driver's uncle stunned for a moment, and then he came back to his senses and hurriedly signaled, "It's okay"
"Because I saw a funny text message from a friend, I was rude for a while" But Choi Jun-seok still explained and apologized, "I'm sorry~"
"It's okay"*2, Uncle Driver was polite again, and then took the opportunity to start the topic, "Do you like GAG very much?"
"Huh?" Choi Jun-seok was stunned. He really didn't expect that someone would ask him if he liked GAG, who had won the acting award, but Cui Junxi was speechless and took over the topic of this 'brother', "Yes, I quite like GAG"
"Ah, really? Actually, I like gag a lot, like funny concerts, funny nights and other shows I've been watching, and"
"Huh, huh?"
"Of course, especially the most recent ones"
"Huh, huh?"
"Two days and one night, I did a good job in the positioning of the show, and the infinite challenge is the funniest family birth, although it is a little worse, but that Lee uh, Lee Hyo-ri and that who, oh, Choi Jun-seok's show image seems to be very popular"
"Huh, huh?"
Listening to this uncle talking endlessly about the most popular variety shows at the moment, from the host's style to the jokes of the show, from the guests of the show to the fixed program, this uncle who 'likes gag' has expressed his unique opinions, and the topic switch is so smooth and fast that even Choi Jun-seok can't interrupt his conversation, and can only passively echo the uncle's conversation, which makes Choi Jun-seok feel deeply speechless again!
Are these 'buddies' in our country so capable? With this kind of eloquence, you might as well be a gagman! Choi Jun-seok secretly slandered ^_^ in his heart in desperation
"Uh, wait" Choi Jun-seok finally found an opportunity to interrupt the excitement of this 'Brother Shenkan', "Uncle, I'll call my friend"
"Ah, let's fight, let's fight~" Brother Shenkan stopped embarrassedly, "" ^_^
"I'm sorry~" Choi Jun-seok first said humbly, and then made a phone call.
"Doodoo"
After waiting for a while, the phone rang out, and a very deep male voice came out,
"Hey, Jun-seok?"
"Ah, brother, it's me~" Cui Junxi reflexively glanced at the driver's uncle, and covered the phone slightly so that the volume was not too loud.
"Are you looking for me?" The man on the other end of the phone seemed to be very familiar with Choi Jun-seok, because his tone of voice was very direct.
"Uh, no" Choi Jun-seok suddenly laughed, and instead of answering the other party's words, he said, "Brother, are you at Brother Mole's house now?"
"Oh, how do you know?" the man seemed startled by his prophetic unknown, and his voice suddenly raised.
"Hehe ^_^" Cui Junxi smiled, "Because I saw the photo you uploaded just now" Speaking of this, Cui Junxi remembered the photo he saw just now that made him laugh, and he was happy again, he quipped, "Brother, you have that fat body, you are embarrassed to show it!"
"Hehe" An embarrassed laugh came from the other end of the phone.
"Brother, aren't you afraid of being sprayed on your dog's head?" Choi Jun-seok was amused and a little worried.
"Alas, forget it, when will anyone pay attention to me Zheng Hyungdon" The self-deprecation of the man on the other end of the phone made Choi Jun-seok's heart sour.
Zheng Hengdu?!! talking to this passenger on the phone is actually Zheng Hengdon, the little fat brother in the infinite challenge?
Although Cui Junxi deliberately covered his mobile phone, but in addition to being articulate, this 'Brother Shenkan' has sharper hearing, so far away, and so quietly, he actually heard the most sensitive words, this driver uncle in his 40s, was quite surprised to recognize Cui Junxi in the back seat.
"Huh!!"
