Chapter 12: What kind of man is he?

Xu Canhao took advantage of the weekend to visit Tony's house, but only An's mother, a housewife, was there. Pen @ fun @ pavilion wWw. biqUgE。 info He had already said hello to Tony and took away a golden retriever that was more than a month old. Taeqi is a great hero of their family, giving birth to three sons and two daughters at once, and Le De'an's mother smiles from ear to ear every day, serving these little ancestors at home. Before going out, An's mother told him a thousand times, not only to teach him the precautions for raising a dog, but also the preferences of the golden retriever, etc., Xu Canhao who listened to it was a head or two, and he didn't remember it, so he just nodded vigorously and agreed. Xu Canhao went home and hid the puppy at his uncle's house, waiting for Xiao Zhuxian's birthday the next day, and then hugged it back.

Xu Canhao had lunch at home and was ready to go to the company in the afternoon, but Xiao Zhuxian relied on him for life or death. Either accompany her to the children's park or take her to the S.M company. Xu's father and Xu's mother are still very relieved that Canhao is even if she goes out with Xiao Zhuxian, who is only five years old. Therefore, after the nod of his parents, Xu Canhao reluctantly chose to go to the company with the oil bottle, and he would not go to the children's park if he was killed.

This is the first time that Xiao Zhuxian has not gone out accompanied by his parents, and he will ask Xu Canhao about everything he sees along the way, and some things he knows have to get to the bottom of it. Xu Canhao looked depressed, couldn't get angry, was impatient, and was about to hold back his internal injuries. Although he likes cute children, the most intolerable thing he can't tolerate is infinite annoyance, whether it's words or fighting, he has a bottom line. Before getting on the subway, Xu Canhao repeatedly told Xiao Zhuxian that he must hold his hand, and later, Xu Canhao decided to hold her. Fortunately, it was not a peak period, and there were still many seats for the two of them to choose from, and they arrived at the company without any danger or danger.

Seo Chan-ho wears a full-time employee pass (no position) and comes to HOT's practice room with Xiao Zhuxian. I said hello to a few people, and went to visit the practice room of Cui Shengxi next door. Received a "warm welcome" by three girls, to be precise, Joo Hyun. Seeing that their dance teacher was not there, Xu Chanhao asked them to take care of Xiao Zhuxian for the time being. A few people ignored him, but they were busy with their mouths, surrounding Xiao Zhuxian to ask this and that, pinch here, touch there. Xu Canhao smiled bitterly and looked at Xiao Zhuxian, who was also bitter and unspeakable, and could only express sympathy in his heart. After explaining a few words to Xiao Zhuxian, he ran away as if he was running away, he couldn't stand Xiao Zhuxian's puffed bun face looking at him helplessly, with an angry bag-like expression.

Xu Canhao took off the pass when he saw Wen Xijun and the others, so that they would not ask about the origin of the documents. At this time, he took it out and put it on, and slipped all the way to Li Xiuman's office. Knocking on the door and getting a response, I pushed the door in. After saluting and saying hello, he sat opposite Li Xiuman, looking at a table full of scattered documents, next to a few stacked disposable paper cups, and there was still a strong smell of coffee.

Xu Canhao said to Li Xiuman, who was immersed in reading the materials: "Uncle Man, it's really reassuring to be so diligent on the big weekend!" ”

Li Xiuman glanced up at him, and then continued to bury his head in the material. After a while, he said, "Children, if you come to play, please go out." Both of them spoke in a tone that was neither yin nor yang, like a joke between friends, or like a cynicism between rivals who looked down on each other. In fact, the relationship between the two is only clear to them, and the superficial work has been done, and the rest is really dispensable. Li Xiu was full of pimples in his heart, thinking that Xu Canhao was taking advantage of others' danger. The shares snatched from him were like stripping off the flesh of his child, although he didn't give Xu Canhao any rights, he felt uncomfortable after all.

Xu Canhao didn't care, took out a stack of manuscripts and put them in front of Li Xiuman's eyes, got up and said, "There is a new song in it, and there are some suggestions for the hot group, I hope you can watch it after you have a good rest." So, it's okay, I'll take my leave. Xu Canhao bowed and turned to leave the office.

Li Xiuman waited for Xu Canhao to go out, then picked up the manuscript and flipped through it. Opening the first page was a lyric sheet called "We.Are.the.Future", and he looked at the lyrics and was noncommittal. Then he looked at the score carefully, trying to find fault with it, any flaws he was happy to see, and he did not want to admit that a child so young could write these... Well, excellent song. Li Xiuman's pride stems from his own experience, singer, producer, MC, degree, etc., these are all achievements that belong to his own efforts. He has always considered himself a great musician, and he is the best in this circle, and he has been recognized by the public. Even if he transforms now, he will be a successful businessman. But now, even if I don't want to admit it, this kid is indeed a highly talented musician. The songs written clearly show their positioning for several children, which is equivalent to laying a good framework for the production of the first album, paving the blueprint, and even pointing to the next road. Li Xiuman took a long breath, feeling that people were not so tired. HOT is the first work born from his hands, the first group of artists, and he poured his youthful ideals and unfulfilled dreams into this team. It took him nearly a year, through the draft, and personal search, to unearth these talented kids, each of whom was ......

Li Xiuman leaned back in his chair, his eyes staring at the ceiling and he was stunned. Just now, an electric light flashed in my mind, and something seemed to be clear to me all of a sudden. Entertainers, talents, children..."I'm so stupid and crazy!" Li Xiu, who has always been calm and serious, raised his eyebrows and angrily slapped the case. Haha, I'm really—" Li Xiuman laughed like crazy. "I'm being blinded, I'm being blinded by myself, I'm being blinded by my own arrogance and complacency!" Li Xiuman let out a series of emotions to himself, he was distracted by the negotiation led by Xu Canhao, he just performed a president, and he forgot his other identity, or the duty ---- scout. Miao Zi, a natural artist who can sing, dance, play musical instruments, and write songs and compose music, was let go by himself, and he has always regarded him as a shopping mall opponent unexpectedly. However, since Xu Canhao is now a member of the company, there is no need to worry too much. As long as he becomes one of its artists, it will be the most affordable deal for S.M.

Li Xiuman's mood turned from gloomy to sunny when he thought of this, sat back in his chair with a smile, and continued to pick up the manuscript. Flipping through the previous songs, seeing Xu Canhao's debut suggestions and future plans for hot, Li Xiuman shook his head slightly and said to himself, "It's still too tender." Suddenly, a line of eye-catching big characters came into view, "Contract Suggestions on Artists", among which Li Xiuman was most popular was the division between the company and the artist and the division of rights and interests between the two parties. The assumptions made in it are inferred from the existing contract, and the most glaring thing is that "the life span of the company's artists is never more than five years, and it will be this paper contract that leads to all this." ”

"Hmph, arrogant and ignorant boy! Think the money in this world is so easy to make? You're still a little too tender to be a businessman. Li Xiuman had no interest in continuing to read, tore off the first two pages of the document, and put the rest into the shredder.

I don't know if it's because Xu Canhao's wings are too small, or because the inertia of history is too great. On September 7th, our hot brothers still appeared on the variety show "Happy Saturday", and the song "Descendants of Warriors" was also banned. Although it was a live broadcast, when the lyrics subtitles covered by the shocking red cross and the news of the ban were broadcast through the news, our protagonist Xu Canhao did not feel too surprised or sad, but was deeply speechless, because ......

"Chan Hao, woo... Do you think we're over? We've just made our debut! Why, why is our song being banned..."An Shenghao, an emotional crazy monkey, was sitting on the ground at this time and hugged Xu Canhao's waist and cried and shouted.

Xu Canhao reluctantly explained him for the sixth time. "Hyong, don't cry. said that it was just banned on the TV station, not blocked, and the two meanings were different. Moreover, the audience doesn't care so much, maybe more people will be curious. When you actually go on stage, it will definitely be a sensation, you have to believe in yourself, and you have to believe in the song I gave you! Speaking of which, Xu Canhao stood up, raised his voice, and added body movements, just to make his words more credible. However, after a while... Xu Canhao looked at a few people helplessly, still the same as when he came in, and dared to say that what he had done for a long time was useless.

Except for Moon Hee-jun, the captain, who went to the president's office, Tony still sat on the ground and endured not crying, but tears poured out; Kangta (who has used the name after his debut) is a fragile child leaning on Jang Woo-hyuk's shoulder and sobbing, like a wronged little daughter-in-law; Lee Jae-won hasn't said a word since Seo Chan-ho came in, sitting on the ground wearing headphones and not knowing what he's thinking; Jang Youhyuk didn't know whether he was comforting Kangta or comforting himself, his lips kept moving, his eyes were red, and the heads of the two were against each other to support each other. Xu Canhao shook his head and glanced at a few people helplessly, took a deep breath, and was about to use some fierce words to stimulate these uncompetitive guys, when the door of the practice room was pushed open.

Li Xiuman walked in first, and at first glance he saw Xu Canhao standing in the middle, the two looked at each other, and Xu Canhao saluted him. Li Xiuman frowned and looked at the few people sitting on the ground. Moon Hee-jun was also quite embarrassed and annoyed when he saw this, and whispered to Tony, who was closest to him. Jang You-hyuk first felt the change, and when he saw Li Xiuman coming in, he pushed Kangta, and the two stood up and saluted him. Only then did the others notice the situation and stood up to salute.

Several people looked at Li Xiuman nervously, nervous about their future, and worried about what the president would do to them, but they didn't expect Li Xiuman's first action to surprise everyone. Li Xiuman bowed to a few people in the hot group, and at the same time faintly revealed the same meaning to Xu Canhao. This not only surprised several hot people, but also shocked Xu Canhao. It's incredible, what he means by doing this, it's definitely not just because of planning. Then there's only one possibility...'

"Sure enough... Hum. "Xu Canhao observed everyone's expressions, even Wen Xijun, who was the captain, was crying at this time, and the others sobbed softly as if they had been comforted by their relatives, and the atmosphere became no longer depressing, as if the clouds were blooming." Lee so-man. No wonder, no wonder the squeezing is so bad, there are still people who don't want to give up. In your eyes, feelings are cheap, and can you be ready to buy and sell easily because of profits? Xu Canhao guessed maliciously, watching Li Xiuman's every move, hoping to find a flaw. watched Li Xiuman come to several people one by one, hugging them and comforting them. Seo Chan-ho hopes that he is wrong, and he is reluctant to work with an emotionally unemotional person, even though he knows that this is what a mall looks like. However, he used it on a group of naïve teenagers who chased their dreams, and there will be more in the future. Even if he knows that the essence of an artist is a servant, a person who sells laughter and singing, and sells most of his freedom. In particular, artists who have passed through the company's assembly line are essentially a tool for businessmen to grab profits, and this tool may be discarded at any time. If, there is no trace of emotion in between, only naked interests remain... Xu Canhao didn't dare to think, such a dream, such a result, even if it is realized and obtained, won't he be confused? What exactly do you get, the benefits? For the sake of profit, you can abuse feelings at will and squander the respect that others give you. 'Li Xiuman, I hope you are not such a person. Otherwise, I'll destroy your things with my own hands on that day. Xu Canhao's body shook slightly, staring at Li Xiuman. It wasn't until Li Xiuman looked at him that he returned to his original state. received Li Xiuman's signal and followed him out of the practice room. Moon Hee-jun stayed in the practice room to enlighten the members and relay the president's explanation and plan.

Xu Canhao followed Li Xiuman to the corner of the safe passage, and the two stood still, not waiting for Li Xiuman to speak. Xu Canhao said first: "Don't apologize to me, I knew you wouldn't listen to me." Xu Canhao paused, ignored Li Xiuman, and continued: "Even if the title song is banned, I believe that other songs can take over the burden." It's just a song. We are in the right direction, we have done what we need to do, and the rest is left to the people. ”

Li Xiuman was very depressed, and was robbed of the right to speak by Xu Canhao three times and twice, so that he didn't know how to continue for a while. I wanted to ask him if he had any plans to be an artist, but he was blocked by Xu Canhao's strong attitude. Li Xiuman sighed and said, "You're right, maybe there will be results tomorrow." Actually, I knew it would be this result..."Speaking of this, Xu Canhao was a little confused. Li Xiuman's performance today was too incomprehensible for him to understand, and when he thought he would be annoyed or speechless because of his words and turned to leave, he began to break the news to himself calmly.

"A ban is inevitable, and it would have been possible to ban even the entire group a few years earlier. I also did it when I was on the news, borrowing someone else's hand. Momentum that does not cost money is the best publicity. Li Xiu had a meaningless smile on his face and looked at Xu Canhao, who was a little stunned.

I see. This Li Xiuman is really bold, this is almost gambling, walking a tightrope! In the unlikely event that the opposite effect occurs, it will not only affect a combination, but also a company that is still very vulnerable. If many parents resist and oppose their children's liking of this combination... If you don't have a chance to become popular... Li Xiuman, why are you so confident? More confident than me, who knows the future! Crazy people, businessmen are gamblers, that is, you are the kind of people! Xu Canhao stared at Li Xiuman with a complicated expression, wanting to see through his heart and get to know this person again.

"Whew~" Xu Canhao took a long breath and said, "What makes you so sure..."The meaning that Xu Canhao wants to express is obvious. However, he didn't even know what made him cringe, so he didn't finish his sentence.

Li Xiuman looked at the slightly cramped boy, smiled, suddenly extinguished his desire to win, and said calmly: "Do you believe those children, or Yongzhen and your songs?" Hehe... It's better to believe in myself, because I chose all this. Li Xiuman said to him almost word by word, like a small hammer knocking on Xu Canhao's heart one by one. Patting Chan Ho on the shoulder, he went straight upstairs.

Xu Canhao stood in place to digest what Li Xiuman said today, and was stunned, and Li Xiuman's voice came from upstairs. "I have time to find Yu Yongzhen, he has long wanted to know you, in the sound and auxiliary room on the third floor, or in the recording studio." Xu Canhao reflexively looked up at the upper floor of the stairs, but saw nothing. kept silent, thinking about what was on his mind and came home, he didn't even say hello to Wen Xijun and them, and went home and locked his head in the room, which made Xu's father and Xu's mother worry for a while.
