Chapter 212 Beginning
Apink grabbed a spot in the first week, but that didn't stop the opposite tara from reaching the pinnacle of preaching. The pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info the opposite, in fact, from the next day, I don't know if it's because of a few layers of weird buffs, this combination officially began to go berserk.
It's not a matter of album sales, everyone knows that this album is actually just a single package, right...... There is no doubt that they are cheating money. However, the title song "Lovey-Dovey" is really high-quality and popular. Combined with the popularity accumulated by Tara itself, this song went around in February with a sense of unbridled spirit, and the sound source was not mentioned, and the song show was one after another...... In fact, by the time the song finally ended, the song had 13 winners before being forcibly terminated by the returning BIGBANG in March.
However, to be honest, it is not a shame to be killed by Bigbang in the Korean music industry. What's more, when the spring flowers bloom in March, Tara is indeed a bit of a strong crossbow, so taking advantage of the situation to end the singing trip gives people a feeling of going down the stairs.
However, when all eyes were on the handover of Tara and BIGBANG, not many people paid attention to the fact that the rookie group Apink had already walked off the stage after being with them for more than half a month as early as late February a week ago.
In fact, by the time Tara stepped off the stage and had not yet had time to change into her singing costume, Apink here had already begun to enter a state of recuperation for nearly a week.
However, on this day, APINK6, who had stopped singing for nearly a week, was called together by the company and participated in a banquet.
"Come, it's been a hard month before. Cui Zhenhao, who raised a glass of wine, rarely showed a smile on his face. "Cheers to our first APINK, this is the one we got within a year of our debut, and the value is immeasurable. β
In the apink at the same table, the two underage ones immediately took the juice and milk honestly, and the four adults simply served the wine. In addition, there were many team members who followed the group all the way, and they also raised their glasses happily.
After all, as Cui Zhenhao said, whether you can get a place within a year of your debut is indeed a very important sign, because not to mention that the industry will be impressed by you, from a practical point of view, it is also related to whether the team can get out of the rookie period as soon as possible, and then ...... Uh, can you start making money as soon as possible.
In short, no artist will think that he became famous too early.
That's right, that's why ACUBE dragged on for more than a week to hold a celebration for apink...... In other words, since the establishment of the company, Cui Zhenhao has insisted on opening the door alone. However, in the past few years, there has always been only investment, only human and material resources from the head office, but there is no profit at all, which makes the arrogant Cui Zhenhao really unacceptable.
However, to the present, in 2012, the end of the world did not wait, but finally made him wait for the success of APINK. In other words, when Deputy Cui Da reviewed last month's financial statements yesterday, he found that even if the commercial performances during the rest period of the following months were not included, apink's return had already achieved a break-even!
Therefore, Cui Zhenhao couldn't help but charter a large private room in this hotel near the company, and celebrated it in the name of winning the first APINK!
What did you do a week earlier?!
"Is the cake ready?" After three rounds of drinking, seeing that the atmosphere was getting hotter, Cui Zhenhao, the banquet organizer, suddenly got up, and then came behind a room director who felt a little paralyzed.
No way, as a leader, these things always have to be taken into account, today is March 3rd, it was originally the birthday of Captain Apink Chu Long, since it was to celebrate Aink, how could it be possible to forget about it? Even, he even made an extra gimmick, that's right, Cui Zhenhao also prepared a big cake with only one candle for 'apink'...... I don't really know where it started.
"Hey. The head of the facial paralysis room was slightly stunned, but immediately responded. "I've already talked to the hotel, but are you going to get on it now?"
"Come on. Cui Zhenhao glanced helplessly at the elated apink six. "I can't let the six of them eat anymore, and other groups shouting about body management are a bit of a sense of excitement and eyeballs...... These six ...... Don't you know?"
"Yes, too. The head of the room then got up. "Let them cut the cake and go back...... I'm going to go and make arrangements together. β
"Hard. Cui Zhenhao immediately relaxed and patted the other party's shoulder, and then watched the other party leave the private room.
In fact, Cui Zhenhao only said half of what he said just now, body management is very important, but in fact, there is a more important reason that he can't say...... Chu Long's birthday, you detain people here, what if Jin Zhongming holds a cake and waits until midnight to wait for someone? Who will blame at that time?
However, no matter what happened, five minutes later, as the head of the facial paralysis room opened the door of the private room again and nodded to himself, Cui Zhenhao, who had been nervous for more than a month and even had been nervous for almost four years, felt that he was completely relaxed...... Tonight, it should have been their own.
Everything was normal and smooth next: the lights went black as promised, everyone pretended to exclaim knowingly, and even Cui Zhenhao clearly saw that in the darkness Endi smiled and pushed Chu Long, and then Na En also looked in the direction of the door with some apprehension.
However, when the birthday song sounded and the lights came back, Cui Zhenhao was immediately dumbfounded!
Without him, the person who appeared in the private room pushing three cakes was not the expected hotel staff, nor was he from his own company...... Well, this statement may not be quite right, because the people who push the cake are indeed all people from the cube company who are too standard to be standard, but not just ACUBE people!
First of all, the one who pushed the candle cake for the apink group was the head of the facial paralysis room, and it could be seen that he was also a little helpless and dazed.
And the one who pushed the adult birthday cake for Nain turned out to be Hong Seung-sung, the head of CUBE in charge!
As for Chu Long's birthday cake with 22 candles, the person standing was Jin Zhongming with a smile on his face!
The private room was really silent for a while, however, it immediately erupted in laughter and applause, and everyone thought it was a pre-arranged drama!
Of course, except for Choi Jin-ho, who arranged this matter.
In other words, Cui Zhenhao followed GOD as a friendship assistant after graduating from college and didn't enter the industry, and he still has the qualities he should have. Therefore, even if his brain was a little confused, and he even wanted to scold his mother, he still took advantage of the noise to get up immediately, and then took advantage of the chaos of the scene to quietly pull the facial paralysis head aside, and stood behind a cake himself.
Now, it seems to be very feeling. As a result, the applause became enthusiastic again, and the celebration banquet and birthday party also entered the climax.
The atmosphere here at Apink is both harmonious and harmonious...... However, on the same night, the atmosphere at CCM, which had just left the stage and was actually holding a celebration party, was a little wrong.
Actually, the party over there felt a little bit wrong at the beginning, because contrary to the fanfare of a rookie team in APINK, Tara here has just swept down thirteen places as the hottest girl group at the moment...... There were only a few tables of people, basically all of whom were the core of the company or the core of the tara team, and it was opened in CCM's own company's canteen, and then ordered a large number of high-end takeaways.
Sure enough, after three rounds of drinking, Kim Kwang-so, who was sitting at the middle table with Tara, finally couldn't wait to uncover the real bottom of the meal.
"Prepare the seven of you. Kim Kwang-so, whose face was full of red light, reached out and twisted a dried nut with a little casual hand. "Tomorrow I'll bring two little girls to you for a formal meeting, and they will be the eighth and ninth members of Tara in the following albums. β
"Do you want to add someone again?" After a period of silence, Zhao Yan, who was the most uncontrollable on her lips, couldn't help but ask directly. "Still two?"
"Hey!" Kim Kwang-so still smiled naturally, and his tone was still very casual, but his answer was resolute and earnest, and even a little inexplicably excited. "I understand your thoughts, and I anticipate your reaction, but adding someone is necessary, I'm not consulting with you, I'm informing you!"
Baolan and Ju Li glanced at each other, but they didn't speak again; Liu Huaying lowered her head and played with chopsticks alone, not knowing what she was thinking, but she didn't open her mouth anyway; the current captain Zhao Yan was scolded back by her own president, and she also knew that she was actually a halfway way over, and she had no right to speak at all, so she could only shut up weakly; Zhiyan wanted to say something, but she was too young, and recently she was made almost invisible by Jin Zhongming in this round of the hottest event, and her sense of existence was not as good as before, so she had to look at the remaining two people for helpγ
Eun Jing and Xiao Min glanced at each other, and then Eun Jing naturally took the lead: "But president, have you thought about it?" Today's popularity and income are the result of our previous members' struggles, and each person has to take a share of it...... And how long does it take to fit in? Add people, haven't you considered how we members feel?"
"I'll tell you something. Kim Kwang-so seemed to be prepared, and he reached out and nodded Eun-jung and Hyo-min. "The two of you, two people who only debuted in 09, have had a media count on the income of the whole year last year? Among all Korean idols, one ranks fourth and the other ranks fifth, I'm not wrong?!"
Hyomin, who originally wanted to keep up, lost his momentum when he thought of the house he had just rented in Cheongdam-dong.
"Say a thousand things and ten thousand. In front of many of the core staff of the TARA's team around him, Kim Kwang-so can be called sincere. "What you call popularity, profit, back to a final indicator...... What is it? Isn't it income?"
Eun Jing leaned back in her chair helplessly, and returned her hand expressionlessly to straighten her hair, which had slowly become longer.
"Why are you not as popular as when you were young, and you didn't debut as good as when you were young, but you can have an income that is not worse than theirs?" Although Eun Jing was not in a hurry to refute, Kim Kwang-so seemed to be revealing his heart to the end. "Because compared to Lee so-man, who treats artists as machines, I, Kim Kwang-so, respect your hard work and labor very much. β
Hearing the name Li Xiuman, and comparing it with his youth, the expression written on Zhao Yan's face also eased a lot.
"You can just ask, is the share I gave you the highest in the industry?" Kim Kwang-so took a sip of his wine glass, and then put it heavily on the table. "The law stipulates that an exclusive contract is for 7 years, but is there a provision for sharing? I dare not say to you that it is benevolent and righteous, but there is still the head office above to collect money, and there are so many staff members who serve you below to pay salaries, is it already considered to be doing your best?"
These words were very lethal, and everyone couldn't help but look back at the assistants in their team who were usually very close, and they were embarrassed and inexplicable, and even the little dinosaur immediately lowered his head.
"So be it. "Kim Kwang-so really came prepared. "Taking advantage of this revision, I will give you another chance to revise the contract, and I will give you another ...... of the largest share of advertising revenue."
"President. Eun Jing, who had arranged her hair, directly interrupted the other party's words. "You've convinced us about interests, divisions, and so on. Just like what you said, we are very hard, but you have not treated anyone badly, not to mention that so many assistant brothers and sisters are here, and it will seem that we are scoundrels if we continue to entangle. β
"Oh. Kim Kwang-so nodded to his most satisfied disciple. "I just like your cheerful and crisp personality...... Isn't that all there is to it?"
"How could it be?" retorted unceremoniously. "President, don't pretend to be garlic, my question just now is actually two, except for the problem of this newcomer sharing the profits...... What's more, what if the newly added members can't integrate into the team? The team is at its peak, and it continues to accumulate popularity, what if the newcomers have a negative impact on our team? Let me tell you straight, did Hua Yinglai really integrate into the team the year before? Until the show Hua Mei Nan is still a little alone, right? Isn't it until this round this year that it is considered a lot more gregarious?"
Eun Jing asked one question after another, and directly named him, which made Kim Kwang-so, who originally wanted to avoid the three words of Liu Huaying, helpless. However, what made him feel relieved was that thanks to the wind that had been blown by Liu Xiaoying before, Liu Huaying has remained quiet until now...... It was kind of a relief for him.
"Huaying was young at the time, and she didn't know anything when she first arrived, so you don't need to mention it. Kim Kwang-so first calmed Liu Huaying's heart. "And now, everyone has come to this place together, and they have just dominated the Korean song industry, are you still going to drive her away?"
"Did I say this?" When it comes to personality and qualifications, Eun Jing is really the only one who dares to fight hard with Kim Kwang-so, and Hyo-min next to her is a ball of hairballs, and she can still slap back so directly. "President, do you think I'm a madman or a fool? I've endured it for so long, and now that Tara has this kind of achievement, I'm going to drive people out?"
"I'm just giving you an example...... Kim Kwang-so was embarrassed.
"President, can you change the example? What does Sister Enjing mean, don't you really understand?" Liu Huaying next to her couldn't listen anymore.
That being said, this seventh member of the tara is now content, really satisfied. On the one hand, Tara has achieved this kind of achievement, and she is of course excited to rise with the rising tide, on the other hand, although she didn't win the movie, she didn't know if she was blessed, but she gradually replaced Ji-yeon in her daily activities, you know, she is just a pink newcomer who has just entered the industry for less than two years, and she came to this job without even being a trainee, what else do you want?
However, the most important point is the fluttering that comes with this achievement and honor, and the feeling of this soaring status and popularity itself...... This month, Liu Huaying obviously felt an unprecedented respect and treatment, went to sing, and the TV station arranged the best waiting room, and those TV station staff had serious faces towards the second- and third-rate singers, but they seemed to be amiable to themselves, and even had some respect.
How are you living...... It's okay to add people or something, but what can you do by yourself?
"Ahem!" Kim Kwang-so is really helpless against these two people, one is the student he has known for the longest time, values the most, and feels the most uncomfortable;
"Let's be honest. Kim Kwang-so finally decided to give his mind to it. "I'm doing this for the sake of what you shouted when you debuted, and I really hope that you can surpass a group. At that time, it was in the connection of "Golden Fishery", I can't say it directly, but here, everyone is their own person, and I don't need to hide it, I just want Tara to surpass girlhood...... This is one of my long-cherished wishes! But this return, I see two fatal weaknesses of our tara, and if I don't make up for it, even if it looks like a bright future, it will never be comparable to when I was young!"
The entire floor was silent, and everyone was waiting for Kim Kwang-so's explanation.
"One is stage strength. "Kim Kwang-so is really digging out his heart. "Don't be afraid of losing face on this topic, not only the media and peers sarcastically say that we are a pure face group and chameleons, but even our own fans and ourselves understand it...... The face is the most beautiful, but the stage strength is poor, and it can't be vetoed. The reason why I couldn't wait to agree to Zhaoyan to join as soon as I saw her at that time was because the overall strength was too poor, and I really needed someone to dance and sing. This situation waited until Zhiya in the music class chose to quit, and it was tied to Zhaoyan alone, and she caught a cold...... We can't get on the stage, is it a fake thing? Not even to mention the young time, this time against the new group APINK, we lost one by one...... That day, of course, there was a matter of Jin Zhongming suddenly standing on the platform to sell face, which was comparable to singing...... Did we really lose? That Park ...... That Zheng Eundi...... If we want to defeat Shaoshi, shouldn't we have a Zheng Eundi?"
Eun Jing let out a long breath.
"And then there's age. Kim Kwang-so did not shy away from sweeping the two 86 parties, as well as Park So-yeon. "Girls' generation is all 89 to 90 people, and Zhao Yan's outstanding strength was brushed down because she was two years older. So here's the problem, there are three people in our team who are three or four years older than them, and they can't show it now, but if they fight for a long time, in 2015 and 2016, the three of you will be over 30, and they are still in the golden period of 267, what are you fighting?
Now, there is no one who even sighs.
"Anyway. Kim Kwang-so began to pour himself more wine, only to find that the bottle was empty. "I drank a lot today, that's why I said so much...... I want you to understand that not only do you have ideas, but I, Kim Kwang-so, also have my own ideas. The reason why Tara has come so far is because we were able to unite all of our ideas and work together...... That's where we are today. Everyone can have their own minds, but they must tolerate each other and unite as one, and then we can achieve our goals!And for this purpose, we must join young and powerful newcomers!two!"
"We get it. Liu Huaying looked at everyone who had been persuaded by Kim Kwang-so, and was the first to react with a smile, and she ran over with a bottle of wine that had just been unscrewed to pour wine for the other party. "Everyone understands your hard work, president, why don't you introduce the new little eight and nine?"
"Good. Kim Kwang-so smiled and took the wine poured by Liu Huaying and drank it all. "I've drunk a lot, so I won't go into detail today, but I'll talk about it roughly. One is a little girl born at the end of December 99, and she hasn't grown up yet...... I'm going to let her join at the end of the year, you have to take care of her!"
There was a lot of laughter in the cafeteria, and everyone in Tara was dazed, even Enjing, who had always been tough, blushed a little, and after fighting for a long time, it turned out to be a little hairy child who laughed nearly a generation more than herself...... How can this kind of hairy child have a dispute over the distribution of interests? As for the real case that he can't integrate into the team, I'm afraid it's his own people who are more than ten years older, right?
"Don't worry. Liu Huaying also lost no time in pouring another glass of wine for Kim Kwang-so. "Ji-yeon and I will take her well...... Dec 99...... It's really "hellobaby"!"
"There's one more. Feeling the relaxed and harmonious atmosphere, Kim Kwang-so couldn't help but feel more proud. "Li Yalin, we will meet tomorrow, and I will go to RB immediately and I will prepare for her to make her officially debut...... The little girl is from a musical family, and she is the first place in the practical music major, which has a great effect on our reinforcement, and you should also take a good look at ......"
"I guess. Liu Huaying asked with a smile as she put down the wine bottle and walked back. "It's supposed to be high school...... The first place in the music major, this won't be '96 or '97, right?
"Guessed wrong. Kim Kwang-so corrected with a smile. "In April '94, she was only one year younger than you! But the little girl sings really well, much better than all of you!"
Ji-yeon immediately breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, I am still a year younger......"
However, Liu Huaying, who was also busy, didn't say anything, just returned to her seat with a dry smile, she ...... Desperate to call her twin sister, this is her first reaction after encountering uneasy things since she was a child.
