Chapter 15: My Adversary
"The show "Give Me Money" was very popular in the first few years of the new century," while waiting for the boring advertisements on TV to finish broadcasting, Kim Jiu-ra recalled and told Kim Min-suk: "In recent years, the music industry has developed very prosperously, including hip-hop music, which was originally a niche thing, and now it has a big market, of course M will not let go of such a good opportunity, and immediately launched a new version of "Give Me Money". Pen, fun, pavilion www. biquge。 info It turns out that their vision is right, the new variety show is quite popular, the ratings are gratifying, and advertisers are not stingy to throw money into it. The most important thing is that Kim Jiu stretched out a finger and pointed to Kim Dong-hyun who was staring at the TV screen on the side: "For economic companies, this show is the best platform to launch new people and attract popularity. ”
Kim Min-seok nodded thoughtfully: "In other words, there will be a shady scene on this show?"
"Will there be?" Jin Jiula scoffed: "You can wait and see the trailer." ”
The lengthy commercial finally ended, and as the picture gradually darkened, the voice of the commentary gradually sounded.
"The first rap survival battle in the history of the Republic of Korea, showmethemoney ......"
"You can take a look at the clips that appear in the trailer, and you can see the promotional tendencies of the TV station from here. Jin Jiula's calm voice came from beside him.
"Microdot, this kid, debuted at the age of 12 and formed a rap group with others, and he was also a very famous newcomer in the underground rap industry back then, although there have been no new works over the years, but he has always been regarded as the inheritor of the rap industry by the older generation. ”
Kim Min-seok looked at the familiar round-faced kid on TV, wasn't he the guy who showed his face in the waiting hall last night?
"Basick used to be a very good rapper, but when hip-hop music declined, he retired from the circle and chose to be an ordinary person. This time, I am afraid that I will not only participate in the competition for the prize of 100 million won, but also to announce that I will come out again. ”
Kim Jiu-ra asked Kim Min-seok to focus on this very strong opponent, and said in a deep voice: "Look at his appearance, he should have found a good home, you have to be careful, I guess he is your biggest threat to winning the championship." ”
Kim Min-seok touched his chin and nodded, his eyes fixed on these opponents who might pose a threat to him.
"Brother, is this the guy? took off his pants in public during the preliminary round?" Pointing to the tall man who appeared on the screen, Kim Dong-hyun suddenly became very excited.
Kim Min-seok looked at it, and it was the blacknut who angrily scolded the judges last night. He glanced at Kim Dongxian: "Isn't this coming?"
Sure enough, there was a mosaic in the trailer, and it was obvious that you could see the action of Balcknut pants taking off.
"This guy is a disciple of Swings. Swings was a producer in the third season and gave me the money, and he was very popular. Now that he's serving in the army, this blacknut is still the temporary president of their company, so even if it's for these names, his public attention will not be small. Kim Jiu-la relied on the news he heard from his extensive connections in the circle to warn Kim Min-suk.
"I think there is a capable person behind this kid," Kim Min-seok told Kim Jiu-la about yesterday's situation: "Dare to scold the judges like that on the stage of the solo judges, if I hadn't deliberately behaved more arrogantly, he would have stolen the limelight last night." ”
"Look at it, he's definitely not as simple as it seems. Kim Min-seok patted Kim Dong-hyun on the shoulder and said meaningfully.
"YG has been in the limelight in recent years, whether it is in the music industry or underground rap, there are people active in them, so they are becoming more and more powerful. In last year's Give Me Money competition, the champion was actually snatched away by an idol by Bobby, and many seniors in the underground rap were very dissatisfied. Jin Jiula pouted at Song Minhao who appeared on the screen: "This kid has been squeezed to the cusp this time." ”
"Not really. Kim Min-seok analyzed rationally: "If everyone doubts that YG Company has shady scenes, then send a person who is really powerful to fight." If it is honestly eliminated, the rumors will naturally be self-defeating. If the performance is really outstanding, then the qualifying competition will also look dignified. I think YG might think so. ”
"You have a point. In short, don't underestimate any of your opponents. ”
"Look! Brother is out!" The two were chatting to themselves when they heard Kim Dong-hyun exclaim and pointed to the screen to remind. They hurriedly focused on seeing how the trailer would promote Kim Min-suk's image.
"Why don't you take off your mask?" Sean's voice was low and full of anger, but Kim Min-seok still straightened his proud head, and the picture turned to the time when he finished singing the rap, Sean took a step back and bowed: "I'm sorry......"
"Wow, Brother Minshuo, you should be the first contestant to make the producer bow his head and apologize, right?" Kim Dong-hyun sighed in admiration.
"Haha, congratulations, Minshuk. Jin Jiula laughed heartily: "You have been regarded by the TV station as a dark horse to win the championship!"
Looking at the mask covering his face on the screen, looking a little unruly, Kim Min-seok shrugged helplessly, pretending to be lost and smiled: "Actually, I'm really a good boy who is very polite!"
――――――
"Kim Min-suk, the boss told you to remember to replace all the expired food on the shelves, put the new products in the warehouse, and make room for tomorrow morning to pick up the goods!"
Another child who worked on the shift didn't know what was urgent, so he hurriedly left two sentences, and ran away without explaining clearly.
After sleeping for an afternoon, it was easy to drive away the fatigue in his body, and Kim Min-seok couldn't even take the medicine, so he hurriedly ran to hand over the work.
It was still early, there were many customers at the convenience store, and he didn't even have a chance to catch his breath, so he could only quickly change into work clothes, rush to the front desk, and squeeze out a smiling face to greet the guests who entered the door.
"Anning Haka Saiyo (Please Walk Slowly)" ......I don't know how long I was busy, and finally ushered in the rest time temporarily, Kim Min-seok sat on the chair with a butt and hammered his sore back with a wooden face.
"What am I doing this for? Not to mention the money earned, this is completely squeezing cheap labor!" Out of nowhere, Jin Minshuo slapped the table hatefully and began to scold in Chinese!
No one has come in, and he is confident that he will not have the opportunity to reveal his identity. For days, this was the only way to express the frustration in my heart.
Shaking his head, he finally gritted his teeth and stood up: "Eh, let's hurry up and finish the things the boss has explained, otherwise I will be scolded and deducted my salary again." ”
Hunched slightly over to the back warehouse, he began to move the boxes stacked high. ”
"Well, isn't anyone there?" asked a female voice hesitantly as the doorbell rang.
