Chapter 20: The Successors

"It turned out to be really not one, but it looks more handsome in reality. Pen? Interesting? Pavilion wWw. biquge。 infoBut that body is really... Uh~ I really want to try the feel. ”

"Senior, I envy you so much~"

Two women in professional suits pushed into the bathroom and talked about the guests without hesitation.

"Hmph~ When you sit in my position, you can also have the opportunity to contact these big stars at zero distance." A short-haired woman with a manager's name tag pinned to her left-breasted suit was in front of the washstand, looking at her face carefully in front of the whole grooming mirror.

"Me? I don't have the skills of my predecessors. Another child-faced woman, who was also dressed and much shorter than the tall manager, said with self-pity.

"Well, too. You are still young, let's learn from the seniors~" The female manager proudly lifted her hair behind her ears and said to the little attendant in the mirror with a smile.

"Senior! Why don't you wait and arrange for me to serve the food, okay? "Although the height of the child-faced girl is insufficient, she is better than her delicate figure and proper concave and convex. She lightly grasped the manager's wrist with both hands, and asked with a sincere expression.

"It's not in accordance with the rules~" The manager frowned in embarrassment.

"Hmm~senior~" The pretty woman launched a coquettish offensive, shaking the senior's arm while screaming. "A Hanwoo set?" Seeing that his boss was unmoved, he had to ruthlessly sell his next month's salary.

"Ah~ That's embarrassing. So, when you take over, I'll find an opportunity to arrange for you to recommend drinks? The female manager put down the foundation box in her hand, and smiled with a smile in her eyes to accept this simple request.

"Really!? Thank you, senior, it's so good~ Thank you! ”

"Alright, alright. Remember to wear a nameplate and tidy up your hair. Hey, tsk~" The manager stopped the juniors whose hair was scattered due to the constant bowing, and used pity to cover up the arrogant mentality of being superior to others. With that, she left alone.

The innocent-faced female employee's smile quickly retracted, and her expression unconsciously changed to another person--- as arrogant and disdainful as the departing manager. "Cut~ a self-righteous idiot, a poor woman who doesn't even know that her boyfriend has climbed the wall. Hey, whatever, take care of yourself first, maybe..."The mutated woman muttered to herself as she untied her hair card as she faced the washroom. Just as she was about to open her satchel, the door of the cubicle behind her opened, and she unconsciously became nervous, stopped what she was doing, and stared intently at the guest who was about to appear in that direction.

Lucky. This may be what she thought before she breathed a sigh of relief--- but she was a schoolgirl with a good temperament and a long and fair body, maybe the other party didn't hear what she was talking about behind her back. As if nothing happened, he took out a comb and combed his hair, and coiled his hair. Wash your hands carefully with hand sanitizer. Take out the handy toothbrush and brush your teeth neatly without dipping it in toothpaste. If you don't have enough time, you don't have to floss. Pick up the lipstick and apply a thin layer on the two lips that are already moist and smooth. Pinched his fingers and straightened his eyebrows. Take off your suit top as if no one was around, adjust the position of the bra suspenders, and smooth out the wrinkles on the white shirt that are not there. Salvatore Ferragamo Eau de Parfum is the best time to use, without looking frivolous and with a lingering finish. I closed my eyes and felt the smell of pollen around my body. When I opened my eyes, the smile bloomed again. Put on your coat and look at the confident beauty in the mirror from all angles. The back is straight, and the corners of the mouth are just right, which is the embodiment of good professionalism. Almost, she said to herself. So, unbutton the top button of your white shirt so that you can see your cleavage more easily when you lean forward. The plump white rabbit, but the embodiment of his proudest value, must be able to shake the faith and cold expression of most men.

Look, the schoolgirl with clean hands next to her was stunned. However, you are of a good height, but unfortunately it is not worthy of the buttocks and breasts that men love. Pack up your grooming tools and button up your shirt, because you can't look like this in front of your colleagues and bosses at this time of work. Facing the other self opposite, a pleasant smile appeared as both encouragement and praise, and after doing all this necessary work, he shook his head and walked away confidently.

When she saw the girl in the bathroom for the second time, it was in the VVIP suite, which was the room where her prince invited the national idol to dinner. Regardless of whether the other party recognized it or not, he was already inexplicably flustered, and his original plan was distracted by a disordered mind, and he just wanted to escape quickly.

------------------------------------------------------------

Today, I was doing the final sprint training with the members, but I was tricked out of the dinner by my brother in a few words. Thinking about it carefully, the old brother didn't want to let himself rest a little during the embarrassing pain period, and what he said about helping the future girlhood was also an excuse that he couldn't get rid of.

It's not the first time I've had a meal like this, but I'm not used to it. Fortunately, there are familiar Sister Ying Shu and Brother Zhihao, so they don't feel too restrained. Sitting on the left side of Sister Yingshu, she is the external publicity minister of her company. The elder brother whispered that it was the second daughter of the chairman of the Yilian Group, Park Hyun-joo. looks like a very serious, temperamental woman, but in fact, it is full of fun. I always like to use slang or self-created cold jokes to pry open the corners of people's mouths. I couldn't hold back, very affinity sister, after contact. The smiling man on the right of Brother Zhihao, wearing glasses and a chubby face--- has never abandoned him, called Gu Rongye. He generously introduced himself and said: I am the best Korean who writes articles in Massachusetts over the years. When I graduated, I was almost instigated by Ji-ho to go to the UK to play in a band. As a result, after I packed up and left the house, the bastard told me not to do it again. So, in the future, I heard in the circle that there is a versatile, hot-blooded fat man who must be me, that's right. The elder brother said that he was the eldest grandson of the LG president, and the father mentioned that the family was good and could get along with each other in private.

"Copenhagen, of course. In the future, I want to settle down in a small town outside the Royal Academy of Music and the Academy of Fine Arts to enjoy my old age. It's also close to the beach and, most importantly, it's a place where dreams come from, and there's nothing better for someone like me who loves music like a second life. "I don't understand why a group of young people want to talk about the old place in the future, but my brother still likes the Nordics so much, and quotes him: 'Because it is a place where nature and art, humanity and art are pure, everything is wonderful.'" Actually, I want to go too. If it was just my brother talking about distant old age trivia, I wouldn't think anything was wrong. He was originally a super mature child of mental age, Sister Shulan said. I raised my hand. Since I was a child, I have been more father than my father, and of course, there are times when I return to my children, and I look even more naïve and clumsy than Sister Yun'er.

"Ha~ha! It's ridiculous. How can there be a true division between good and evil in the world? If it was simply for the sake of fame, plagiarism would be regarded as the original sin, and those people in Dongdaemun would have gone to prison a long time ago. Aristotle is not saying that all art, all desires, all actions and explorations can be seen as aiming at some kind of good. Thus, the good can be correctly defined in terms of the goal pursued by things (Nicomachean Ethics). Now look at mere businessmen are much cuter than those hypocritical politicians, aren't they? Brother Ji Hao spoke Korean for a while, English for a while, and argued with his brother about the common plagiarism conventions in the clothing industry--- before drinking, it may only be said that it was a discussion. Our president has never been a great orator, and if it weren't for the systematic charm of struggle and the eyes that can deceive people, I don't think he would have been able to coax even a child. When I was six years old, I knew that. At that time, his words were always straightforward, with modified words and phrases removed, and the tone was slightly lacking, but the Chinese idioms that the elders did not understand were used more. Right now... The condition is improving.

"No offense, I personally prefer jazz. Like Liberty Jazz, Post-Bebop. There is Scandinavian style, fascinating psychedelic elements, but also the beauty of symbolism and the pursuit of freedom, and the romance of stream of consciousness. Although these are not available in every song, the style that I like, Jazz gives. I used to like Mel. Tomei (American singer, jazz great), now completely obsessed with your company's Nora, her voice is literally born for jazz, at least that's what I think. Why don't you go to the United States this time, and I'll go too, introduce me to you? "Sister Hyun-joo is from the comprehensive graduate school of art at Chung-Ang University, and she doesn't have much to do with her current work. However, there are a few people here who can handle any topic very well, which makes me envious. I secretly decided that I would study more in the future, choose a good university, and one day be like them, no matter who I talk to or what topic I talk to, so that I can't interject like --- now--- even if I prefer to listen. So, I found another thing in common with my brother.

"I pay a lot of attention to what I eat every day. Vegetables are the centerpiece of your do-it-yourself meals, along with fish, mainly white-fleshed fish. Meat is eaten only with chicken breast. Only fresh ingredients are selected, and the amount of seasoning is kept to a minimum. All fats are excluded, and carbohydrates are controlled in the appropriate range. Eat a salad without ready-made sauces, just drizzle with olive oil, salt and lemon juice. In addition to eating vegetables, we also carefully study nutrition and pay attention to the balanced combination of various vegetables. Every week, I will customize a unique recipe for myself. Calorie? Don't count those! As long as you have a good grasp of the right food choices and the feeling of eating in moderation, you don't need to mind the numbers and the like. I will occasionally enter the restaurant like now, and the lamb chops and steaks will take turns... Because a trip to their house was very stimulating. From his sister, sister, aunt, mother, aunt, and even his 55-year-old aunt, all of them are mod figures, and every part of their body is well managed. I was ashamed, really! I think that's the real woman, the woman who lives the taste. The food, the exercise, the spa, the muscle massage, these are the things that must be done every day to spend time and for this guy! "Oh~ so ashamed! Brother Zhihao actually kissed Sister Yingshu in front of people. "Hehe, Xiaoxian, you will be like this in the future, it's best to start managing yourself now. You're going to be an idol star~"

"By the way, why did you let your sister become a trainee and embark on this path?" Without waiting for Hyun to answer Kim Young-sook's words, Park Hyun-joo interviewed Seo Chan-ho with a sincere expression. She had always wondered about it.

"Ahem~ This is Xiaoxian's own choice. How nice it is that you don't have to be in the family circle like us. Isn't it the freedom you have always longed for to do whatever you want and pursue what you love? "Lee Ji-ho, as today's initiator, didn't bring Park Hyun-joo to stir up the scene.

Xu Canhao smiled and nodded to his old friend without a trace, indicating that it was okay.

"At the very least, you have to go to college and let the little girl debut in the United States like you, right? Everyone knows what this domestic circle is like. Let such a cute little girl break in, what do you think? Park Hyun-joo seems to be worried about Hyun, not the unconcealed sin committed after the alcohol surge that everyone fears.

"Ahhhhh Maybe our Felix has already arranged it for our sister, right? Gu Rongye asked Xiaoxian with a hippie smile.

"You mean... I'm not eligible? "Park Hyun-joo is the oldest here, and her cold words and cold appearance made her smile just now, and she always looked like Gu Rongye, who was not doing right, so she could only laugh and punish herself for drinking." Do you know what my sister is studying? What do the school seniors call me? Warren Buffett of the music world. Her understatement and earnest expression undoubtedly had a reversal effect...

"Poof~ I'm sorry, I'm sorry, Sister Xianzhu, please continue~" Li Zhihao couldn't hold back his laughter, and quickly apologized to the eldest sister who stared at him.

Park Hyun-joo glanced at Lee Ji-ho, and even Gu Rongye, who pretended to be listening seriously, didn't give a good face and didn't care about them. Turning his head to face Xu Canhao, he said, "The three TV stations are ready to cancel the awards stage at the end of this year, you know?" ”

Xu Canhao still nodded at the corners of his mouth, and took a sip of tea powder to relieve the smell left by the mixing of garlic cloves and wine between his lips and teeth.

"The rise of the Internet has brought the entire domestic record market to the brink of destruction. Compared with 04 and 05, this year is simply a hellish year for singers, and 140,000 sales in half a year are the highest? Did you see a list of members of the Music Industry Association? There are 30 less member companies above. Where did they go? Overseas? Or nautical? Record companies and distribution companies are in debt one by one, and then they are closing down one by one, I seem to have a delusion, seeing the financial tsunami in the entertainment industry in front of me..."Hearing Sister Park's words, Xu Chanhao Zhizhu's expression finally disappeared. "I don't know when records have become a means of making money in the eyes of these damn people, and there are very few people who are serious about making records. So much so that few songs can remain in people's hearts like the classics of the past. This predicament is man-made, and so is S.M. Like a factory, treat beautiful children as dolls, give them good packaging, good songs, good dances, grasp the sales channels in hand, network resources or something, and create stars in batches... Right! These children can only be called star idols, not singers. Standing on the stage at a young age, even the time to grow up was deprived. What life is, what it tastes like, they don't know. Park Hyun-joo used harsh words and a strong tone, but no one spoke to persuade her. Because she's right. "I don't think there's any country where it's easier to become a singer than us, and compared to the music itself, a beautiful face and body have become the primary conditions for being a singer, and music has become a secondary factor. You must know that a real singer, just like Chan Hao, regards the album as a doppelganger, like a child born of his own. Each song is the singer's deepest feeling in life, both a diary and a singer's life. Instead of singing songs bought by brokerage companies with money, and then making them more popular than musicians who actually make music through various means such as processing and publicity. Such a market... I can't see tomorrow. The words of smashing his head and covering his face made the hearts of the people present heavy, at least the thoughts were complicated.

"Confused?" Xu Canhao suddenly looked at his sister who was bowing her head and saying nothing, and a sentence broke the silence in this room that was not long or short.

"Huh?" Xiaoxian was caught off guard by this question, and couldn't think of how to answer it for a while.

Seo Chan-ho curled the corners of his mouth at his sister, turned to Park Hyun-joo and said, "Innovation." Can we look at it from another angle, it is a kind of progress in the music industry to move forward and seek the big stage, or it is a product born when moving forward in between. And to drive this progress, it will take a lot of power, who is it? It's a businessman. They are competing with the domestic market to gain a small market share. Compete with the world, try every possible way to study new ways of operation, to gain a foothold, and open the door to enter the world market. It's hard, it's very risky, and so far only a few people have succeeded. ”

"I see what you're trying to say. Meaning, this group of people wants to make the country... No, it's to push out the artists under its packaging, and want them to occupy a more important position in the Korean Wave plan implemented by the National Culture and Propaganda Department, so that they can enjoy more policy preferences and go to the world music market to make money? But..."Park.

"You have to know that innovation is in the throes of innovation, and now it's the new market that weeds out those who can't keep up with the pace of progress, or even drag them down." Composed.

"You're talking about manufacturing? Treat people as items in a factory for assembly line manufacturing? Park Hyun-joo's voice suddenly raised, as if she couldn't believe that such words were flowing from Seo Chan-ho's mouth.

"Do you think that a small country with a population of less than 100,000 square kilometers and a population of more than 40 million should compete with those big countries for the market, and what qualifications and confidence are needed? How do you get your musicians to use Korean to go out into the world? In the United States, there are children who don't know which side of the map South Korea is. In Germany, in France, earlier many people asked me if I was Chinese or muddy. In such a situation, the state vigorously supports and encourages its citizens to promote their own cultural materials to the world, and what is the front? It's a TV series, it was, and it still is. So..."Xu.

"So, you guys have joined forces to promote the development of Hallyu in the world music market by producing celebrity idols..."Park Hyun-joo's speculation made everyone's doubts gradually dissipate, and their brows gradually opened.

"Hmm~" Xu Canhao took a sip of tea in his mouth and shook his head in denial. "No, not me. Like you at first, President Lee so-man told me this. In addition, no one can unite these vampire brokerage companies, not even the guilds. They only have a common consciousness and realize that only by going this way can they have more room for development and more fame and fortune. I think what they're doing is just adapting to the fast food culture. ”

"It seems that the country intends to guide it~ This can be regarded as a contribution to the country." Gu Rongye echoed as if he didn't understand.

"So, please don't underestimate these businessmen who play music at this time, they have such a great idea after a brutal competition. Moreover, they must not only inherit the past, but also devote themselves to exploring new fields and trends. Do you know that there is a saying in China that you are just about to use it on the blade? Meaning, I only have this good steel in my hands, and it is not enough to build a whole knife. Therefore, the good steel is only used on the blade, which can not only save materials, but also achieve the purpose of the final treasure knife. If something goes wrong in the process, you won't waste too many resources, and it won't be a shame to give up. Xu Canhao's metaphor made almost everyone understand the truth and was completely relieved.

"So that's the case~" Even Jin Yingshu looked like she had suddenly realized, and put down the silver chopsticks that had been in her mouth for a long time and sighed.

"Create a high-quality product as soon as possible with few excellent resources... Pop song and dance yes? After thinking about it, Park Hyun-joo asked again.

"That's right, it's a song and dance that can arouse the interest of as many people as possible. There is no shortage of excellent, even elite, songwriters, choreographers, and operations teams in South Korea. I'll tell you a secret~" Xu Canhao leaned forward mysteriously, and said with a seductive tone and smile, successfully arousing everyone's curiosity, and they all approached to wait for his next words. "Hehe, in fact, several large companies are connected in tandem now. The songwriters, choreographers, and so on just mentioned, in fact, these companies will treat them as resources and share them with each other. In addition, in many cases, the information that each company has and excavates will also communicate with each other. This is just like the relationship between the north and the south, secretly united, but on the surface, everyone should fight and scold, and never let outsiders see the details. Of course, there are chiaroscuro rules that must be followed, and I am no exception. That's why I never play songs in China and compete with them for the market. "To paraphrase the Chinese language, it is to give each other face and leave room for it.

"Chan Hao, you said this, Xiao Xian..." Jin Yingshu was worried, but her eyes drifted to the little girl's face, and the other people also had similar expressions and movements.

Xu Canhao was stunned for a moment, and then laughed: "Don't worry, Dongsen's mouth in the house is very strict." Besides, you don't think she can be an idol for the rest of her life, do you? I'm going to hand over the mall and resort to her in the future, and you brothers and sisters will definitely have to help her when the time comes~"

"Heh~ Do you still need to say it? Our Xiaoxian must be a beautiful president, and it's too late for my brothers to stammer! Gu Rongye returned to his hippie-like style, smiling so hard that his nose and mouth stuck together.

"Hehe, President Xu is going to give us a good shop, my sister will take it seriously~" Park Hyun-joo also came to make fun, making Xiaoxian blush, and sometimes laughing embarrassedly and complaining about his brother.

"Come on! Cheers to our beautiful president in the future! Li Zhihao's shouting of turtle eggs made Xiaoxian completely lie on the table and refused to raise his head. When his fiancée next to him saw his sister like this, she crushed the boy's toes under the table with her heels, and ordered him not to hide his mouth and make a fool of himself.
