HOT's debut is more smooth than expected, this is to add Zifeng is about to leave the American entertainment industry, the popularity of the wind and rain group in the United States should not be underestimated, I heard that this new group is actually a group that has always been as famous as the wind and rain group in South Korea, of course, the interest is very great, plus the elements of Middle Earth music, the sales of the album were very good from the beginning, and the double hundred gold in the first week was almost impossible in South Korea, and they also got it, just like that, it surpassed the cooler who was weak on the first line.

"Brother Youhe," at the celebration banquet, Yutian walked over with a wine glass, "You are too inauthentic, it has been less than a month since you arrived in the United States, and you not only squeezed our cooler down, but also got our Yixi girl away, isn't this too much?" ”

"Brother Yutian," Li Yunmin said, "how can you say that? Brother Youhe is now a part of us, and it can be regarded as a healthy competition with Cooler, which also has an improvement effect on Cooler. As for Yixi, others don't know about their relationship, aren't we all very clear here? ”

"Well, Yun Min," Yu Tian said a little embarrassed, "I'm just joking, so that the atmosphere will be lively." Brother Youhe, for these two things, can I invite you to drink two glasses of wine? ”

"Of course you can," Jang You-hyuk was not pretentious, he picked up the glass and drank it, this was not European and American red wine, it was soju specially brought from South Korea by DES, and then he raised his glass again.

There was some surprise on a rainy day, "What's wrong?" Brother Youhe still wants to pay tribute to me? It's a sake. ”

"No," Jang Woo-hyuk said, "those two glasses of wine just now should be considered sorry for the two things I said on a rainy day, and this one is the third glass of wine I am sorry for." ”

"Huh?" At this time, everyone was quite surprised, "Is there a third thing?" ”

"Yes," Jang Woo-hyuk suddenly took out a disc from the bag beside him, "President, this is a solo disc that President Lee asked me to prepare when I was in Korea, I hope you can take a look, if it can be released in February." It's just that I've heard that the solo album will be released in February on a rainy day, and if the two discs are released simultaneously, it may really have an impact, so I apologize to the rainy day first. With that, he handed the disc to King.

Zhang Youhyuk's move surprised everyone, this is too domineering, right? Even the irritable rainy day couldn't speak for a while, and everyone turned their attention to King.

"Yoohyuk, why do you think I'll agree with you releasing this album in February?"

"Didn't the president tell President Lee? Wouldn't you discriminate against us just because we're S.M's artists, and if you release a solo album at the same time, wouldn't it be possible to generate healthy competition? ”

The atmosphere gradually became tense, King stretched out his hand to stop the rainy day who was about to argue, and said, "Your Jianyì was rejected, Youhyuk, your personal disc can be released after June, and in February our solo will only be released on rainy days, here is a brokerage company, and the business strategy of the brokerage company cannot be changed because of any accidental event, this is my decision." So, is Yohyuk still willing to hand over this disc to me? ”

King's tone was also quite unkind, he had always been gentle and elegant, and this time he gave people the impression of being firm and resolute, which was also a little different from what Jang Woo-hyuk thought. "However, with the strength of DES, there should still be room for an extra album, right?" An Qixuan knew that Zhang Youhe couldn't stand it alone, so he came up to help.

"I say, aren't you going too far?" Yu Tian couldn't hold it back, and said, "Originally, this matter is about me, I shouldn't say anything, I said too much as if I was afraid of something, but do you know that DES's channels in the United States are indeed much better than the situation when we first came here, and there are several channel providers in addition to Smith, but the resources are limited." Like Timer and Cooler, which group can release an album in January like yours? This time, you can release a new album as soon as you come to the United States, so you think it's easy to release, right? Do you know that just because you are in the United States, the president said that now is the best time to introduce oriental elements, and the album of timer02 will be postponed until March, and there will be a gap between the American Music Awards and the Grammy Awards in two months, how much will they lose? Have you thought about this? Have you thought about it? ”

Jang You-hyuk was a little speechless by Shin Yu-tian, who was not known for his articulateness, and his eyes couldn't help but look at Han Ye-hee, but the latter didn't dare to look at him with his eyes. Seeing that he didn't respond, Yu Tian continued, "If the president thinks that Brother Youhe's disc is more suitable for release than mine next month, I have no opinion, and I can release it in June." ”

King shook his head and said to An Qixuan, "Rainy days are right, a qiē resource is not unlimited, and the company can only arrange the most suitable album to be released at the most suitable time, I think February is more suitable for the release of the album on a rainy day, this cannot be changed, do you still have any opinions?" ”

"No," Moon Hee-joon, the eldest in HOT, said and bowed to king, "We take this matter for granted, and we're causing trouble to you, president." ”

King didn't dwell too much on this issue, but with this episode, it was difficult to have an atmosphere for the celebration party for HOT.

"Brother Youhyuk," Zhang Youhe didn't get any purity, and Li Yunmin then pulled Han Yixi over, "I don't know what arrangements your S.M company has, but now that you're in the United States, everyone is sitting in the same boat, do you HOT still have to inertly treat the wind and rain combination as the enemy of DES company?" ”

"Yun Min," Han Yixi couldn't say anything just now, but now he explained to Jang Woo-hyuk, "I know why, Woo-hyuk is in a hurry now, Woo-hyuk is 25 years old." ”

"Yes, 25 years old," Li Yunmin didn't stop accusing because of his sister, "Brother Youhe, your tone seems to be imperative today, otherwise you will say that the president discriminates against you HOT, right?" Fortunately, Brother Yutian said something fair, otherwise everyone would have fought at that time. But there's one thing you don't remember, where do we all come from? Coming from Korea, have you forgotten the etiquette of our country? As an artist of an agency, what qualifications do you have to question the president's decision like this, do you say that you can do the same to President Lee in Korea? I think that what happened today is that you want to force the president to make some kind of decision, and if Brother Yuhyuk also thinks that this is inappropriate, he should apologize to the president. ”

"Yun Min, don't say it," Han Yexi said, "I think Brother Youhe is a little anxious, and the president should also understand." ”

"No, no," said Jang Woo-hyuk, who had been silent, "Ye-hee is right, I really should tell the president about this matter, according to our Korean standards, I am really rude today." ”

Han Yixi didn't expect Jang Woo-hyuk to say that he was going to apologize, but as soon as he saw King, he suddenly used a big gift, this kind of etiquette is particularly grand in South Korea, and it is generally used by juniors to give gifts to elders, and if it is used to apologize, it will be even more sincere, "Today is my quick success, please forgive me, president." ”

"Is that so?" King helped him up, but he didn't give a good face, "Zhang Youhe, in President Li's mind, you are a person who is eager for quick success and quick profit, but have you thought about the severity of the consequences?" ”

"President, Brother Youhyuk already knows," Han Ye-hee was worried that Jang Woo-hyuk would not be able to save face, so he hurriedly helped explain, "That's why I came to apologize to you." ”

"That's not enough," King said, "Youhyuk could have made your request to me privately, but you were worried that I would refuse, so you thought of this method in the hope that I would be able to squeeze me out on the advantage that I didn't want to take on the reputation of suppressing HOT artists, right?" But have you ever thought that this approach will lead to the formation of two barriers within the company, DES and S.M, and lead the struggle on the Korean side to the United States, and how the two companies can cooperate well in the future, which is completely contrary to my original intention. ”

When Zhang Youhe heard this, sweat broke out on his forehead, he thought that King was a person with a good reputation, and he would definitely accept this mention under the run and do what he asked, but he forgot about the cooperation between the two companies.

"So, in order to undo this effect, Youhe needs to do more to make amends."

(HOT debuted in the United States and was a great success, with very good album sales, but at the celebration party, Jang Woo-hyuk, who felt his age, made unacceptable demands, which cast a shadow on the cooperation between the two companies.) ）
