Chapter 272: Signs
Saturday night, Seoul, sprinkled with company meeting rooms.
Girls' Generation was sitting around the conference table, their parents were around them at the moment, everyone's face was full of joy, but everyone tried to control their expressions as much as they could.
After a while, the conference room was opened, and Kim Young-min walked in first, followed by a blonde foreign woman, in fact, everyone knew this woman in Girls' Generation, she was Barbara.
Kim Young-min actually knew that Barbara was no secret in the hearts of everyone in Girls' Generation, but she still introduced it according to the procedure: "Ladies and gentlemen, this is Barbara Schragel, the representative of Universal Music, who is here to negotiate a contract with us and your Girls' Generation about global promotion and music distribution. ”
Everyone was happy, and Kim Young-min was also quite happy, and casually glanced at Phoebe, who was sitting with Seo Hyun and SNN, and then glanced at Hyo-yeon and continued: " Due to the current opportunities, Universal Music would like to sign a temporary contract with some members for the time being, of course, this does not mean that others will be rejected, the specific draft contract will be sent to you after discussion by the board of directors of the company, and you and your parents can also comment on some of the terms of the contract, I hope that in the future, all three of us can get what we want through this contract. Thank you. ”
The crowd applauded.
Kim Young-min greeted her, and when everyone's applause stopped, she said to Barbara: "Next, please ask Miss Barbara to give us a general introduction." ”
Barbara doesn't actually speak Korean, so when she came she borrowed a Korean interpreter from the embassy, she said, "It's a pleasure to be able to come to beautiful South Korea to meet people and discuss some questions about the future." ”
Phoebe couldn't help but sit up straighter, and then gestured to Barbara with a look in her eyes not to use anything like a diplomatic situation.
Barbara suddenly came to her senses, nodded slightly, and communicated with the translator in a low voice, before smiling to everyone again: "Well, well, in fact, you all know me, and I know you well, so I won't say some high-sounding words." I just want to tell you that from today onwards, you have to practice your English conversations. Come on, girls!"
Before Barbara could finish speaking, the conference room burst into applause, and a few people who could understand English could tell from her words that the matter was already a certainty. The only thing that could be in the way now is the company itself, so everyone applauded and secretly looked at Kim Young-min.
Jin Yingmin was just smiling and applauding, and did not respond to everyone's inquiring eyes, everyone didn't know what medicine was sold in his stomach, but everyone felt that the problem should not be big, because it was Universal Music, the top five giants in the world music scene, which was completely different from Ai Hui, who had been working with the company before.
Barbara didn't have much to say, and after she finished speaking, she said diǎn to Phoebe again, everyone knew her relationship with Phoebe, and glanced at Phoebe with a snicker, and then Kim Young-min left with Barbara, and Barbara gave everyone diǎn before leaving.
This made everyone's parents secretly look at Phoebe - at the beginning of Phoebe joining Girls' Generation, including SNN's family, they thought that Phoebe had no one behind her, so they didn't pay much attention to her before, and it wasn't until last week that everyone learned from their children that the signing of this contract with Universal Music was facilitated by Phoebe, how can such a result not make everyone stunned?
Especially the Xiuying family, who was optimistic about Phoebe before, hated that they didn't have a relationship with Phoebe early, and now it seems that their old man's idea has been completely unrealized, and Phoebe is a girl who plays too big to the point that their family can't fit it.
What's more, the Cui family wants to be faced, if they go on the pole now to let the juniors chase Phoebe, they will be made fun of by the other members' families and people in the circle, so it is better to put it aside for the time being and see if there is a chance in the future.
Unlike the family members, who had different ideas, the members were just happy with the good news, and as soon as the outsiders left, everyone couldn't wait to cheer.
Hyoyeon had been told before that she was going to have an audition in the United States soon, so she was the one who would sign a temporary contract with Universal Music. It can be said that she was a little overwhelmed by this news - in fact, she has long felt that her position in the group is not particularly popular with fans, but she didn't think about getting angry with the members, she didn't expect that she was the first to get a chance to appear on the international stage, this, this is not a dream, right?
Half a year since his debut, Hyoyeon has always felt that if there is anything good in the group in the future, it must be Yuna and Taeyeon who got it first, but he didn't expect that he would have such an opportunity......
Hyo Yuan suddenly let go of the family members who were holding her congratulations, looking for Phoebe in the crowd, she knew that this opportunity was definitely won by Phoebe for her, so after discovering Phoebe Phoebe, Hyo Yuan walked step by step to Phoebe who was introduced to Syu Hyun to Hyun Hsien's mother, and then hugged Phoebe and cried: "Phoebe ~ Woo ah ~"
Phoebe was hugged by Xiao Yuan from the back and wanted to turn around to comfort Xiao Yuan, but because Xiao Yuan was too excited to hug him too tightly and couldn't get out, he had to turn his head sideways and say, "Sister Xiao Yuan, don't cry, this is the beginning." ”
Hyo-yeon didn't cry or even hugged him tighter.
Xu Xian was a little dissatisfied, he was introducing Fei Bi to his mother just now, but when he saw Xiaoyuan crying like this, he also comforted: "Sister Xiaoyuan, many people are watching." ”
That's right, Xiaoyuan's crying was not small, not only did Xiaoyuan's mother, who chased her over, cry with her, but others were stunned at first when they saw her crying, and then their eyes turned red.
The members all know Hyoyeon's expectations for life after her debut before her debut, but her current situation is completely different from what she once expected, so she knows that her heart is very aggrieved, and because of this, everyone will try to cooperate with Hyoyeon and perform Hyoyeon's independently choreographed dance on the Encore stage.
Seeing Hyo-yeon crying, everyone also thought that their vision of their debut after their debut was completely different from reality, so they also came from sadness, or supported the members, or helped their families to cry, only SNN, Seo Hyun and Phoebe did not cry.
SNN didn't cry because she knew that her wish was coming true step by step, with Phoebe's support and her own efforts, it was not time to cry yet, so she just took her father's and mother's hands and pursed her mouth, showing a slightly wry smile.
Xu Xian didn't cry, purely because her mind was focused on introducing Phoebe to her mother, and she was very unhappy when she was interrupted by Hyo-yuan, this girl is sometimes so dead-natured, but she is still trying her best to comfort Hyo-yuan and help Phoebe get out of Hyo-yuan's embrace.
Everyone is the baby of their parents, in order to comfort them, the adults are very busy, and when everyone has cried enough, the atmosphere in the conference room seems a little strange, everyone looks at the others with a slight smile on the corner of their mouths, SNN smiled and handed Taeyeon a look, Taeyeon gave her a roll of the eyes, and then called everyone together with a crying voice and said, "Okay, what a shame, don't cry." We've got a better chance at last, so everyone should be happy, right?"
Everyone looked at each other, and SNN gave Taeyeon a smile again, but Taeyeon had to turn her head and pretend not to see her, and said, "So, how about we cheer for tomorrow together?"
Everyone diǎn heads again, Taeyeon Tong Guò Yuguang saw SNN poke Xiao Yuan, who was a little out of state because of the cry just now, slightly deflated his mouth, and said, "O!
"Girls' Generation!"
"After that?"
"Girls' Generation!"
"Forever!"
"Girls' Generation!"
After the slogan, everyone was really high-spirited and began to laugh at each other again for laughing and laughing at each other's makeup, Taeyeon took the opportunity to catch SNN, hugged it and whispered in her ear, "Shunkyu, thank you!"
SNN first nodded slightly, "um", and then didn't say politely to Taeyeon at all, and raised her hand to tickle her ribs, and the two of them giggled and laughed, and the others also joined the battle group when they saw this, and soon everyone laughed again in front of their parents and relatives.
The family members didn't know how their daughters got along with the members, and the information they got was just a few words on the phone, and now they watched in amazement as their daughters first cried until the cuckoo cried blood, and then immediately shouted slogans with high morale, and then turned into laughter without doing anything, and couldn't help but look at each other and laugh helplessly.
However, they also understand a little that Girls' Generation is already a unique existence for their daughters, and the children are no longer the people they once thought they could not gain a foothold in the entertainment industry without the help of their families, maybe what they can do in the future is just to add icing on the cake to them.
Some parents are even more sensitive to the fact that just now the moment of complete self-reliance in the girlhood will make the help that their family members can provide will become more and more insignificant, and some parents even feel that with Phoebe's deposit, at some point in the future, the company may become an obstacle to their progress.
The members of Girls' Generation made a fuss for a while, and soon reacted, their families were around, and they couldn't help but die down one by one, standing in a row with low eyebrows and pretending to be good girls, at this time Xiuying's mother said: "Don't move, that's it, take a photo, rest assured, this photo can only be seen by our family, this is your happiest appearance." ”
The members made eye contact with each other and agreed to the request - you know, the company has strict requirements for taking pictures, especially since they have been crying just now, and such photos will definitely make the company angry.
However, this request came from the parents of the family, and they also had a feeling of breaking through something, so they agreed.
So, a photo that everyone regretted very much in the future, so it was born, of course, although everyone said that they regretted it to the outside world, but in private they all kept this photo cherished, although the photo of everyone was not neatly made, and the clothes were a little messy, but everyone agreed that this was a very commemorative photo......
