"Unless what?" Lee asked eagerly that if there was a way to move Fin.K.L to the United States, she thought she could do anything.

"Unless all of your songs are made by me, my knowledge of fin.k.l and American music can really get you established in the United States through guò composition and line dancing. Still, the question is, do you want me to be your exclusive composer? If I were to be a dedicated composer, FIN.K.L would lose myself and cease to be FIN.K.L. You see, it's the same with the Wind and Rain group, in an album, I give them at most one song, just to minimize my impact, and you need to think about it. ”

It's a difficult choice, not to mention going back to talk to his teammates, Lee Hyori can't even get past himself. King is right, the composer and the artist have a master-slave relationship, generally speaking, the artist standing in front of the stage is the object of attention, and the composer is just the cornerstone of obscurity. But for a composer like King, every song is at the classic level, the situation is reversed, and the artist becomes a foil and a student. And Lee Hyori has always been against King changing her fate, and if she does, not only her, but the fate of the entire FIN.K.L team will be dominated by King.

"So didn't I, Brother Zhenwu, help me make an album? Wouldn't that be the same as a proprietary composer? Li Xiaoli was straightforward and said whatever she wanted, and after saying that, she realized that the meaning of this sentence seemed to be criticizing King for controlling her fate in this way.

King naturally knew Lee Hyori's character and didn't care, "If you come to the United States, Kim Do-hyun will need half a year before he is qualified to compose American dance music for Lee Hyori, and I will do it for me for the first half year, and I won't care about it later." However, if he wants to compile for Fin.K.L, he will have to cultivate for at least five years, and Fin.K.L can't afford to wait. ”

"I still insist, let's take a year to see what kind of journey FIN.K.L can get to it, okay?" At this time, Lee Hyo-ri was a little unconfident.

"Well," King nodded, "I'm a very confident person, and I think I can control a qiē, so I guided you to join the DSP company fin.k.l group at that time, and now it feels like a bit of a stone to shoot yourself in the foot, I knew that I should have recruited you to my company." ”

"Isn't that against Brother Zhenwu's original intention?" Lee Hyo-ri said half-jokingly.

"If it's because of Lee Hyori, it's against it." King whispered.

Lee Hyori and Uchida Yuki returned together, she took Japan to return to South Korea, and until she got on the plane, she was still reminiscing about King's words, "If it's because of Lee Hyori, it's against it." "You know, no matter how difficult things are, King has never broken his promise.

"Sister Youji, if it were you, what would you do?"

"Is it me?" Uchida Yuki thought for a moment, "Maybe I will have a harder time to choose than Lee Hyo-ri, and now it seems that this is the only wrong decision Zhenwu has made." ”

"You also think it was the wrong decision?" Lee Hyo-ri asked, "Does that mean I'm an emotional person?" ”

"Partner, partner, Lee Hyo-ri, you have established a partner-like relationship in FIN.K.L. Zhenwu said that he liked my role in Reli Seventeen very much, but he didn't expect that once that kind of partnership was established, it would be difficult to give up. However, it is difficult to blame him for this, being in the game, and the opinion of outsiders is different. ”

Li Xiaoli nodded and asked again, "Just now, Sister Ji said that it would be more difficult to choose than me, why?" ”

"Because of love," there was no pressure on Uchida Yuki in the face of Lee Hyori, "Lee Hyori is difficult to choose because it is difficult to choose between career and partner, and I, with the addition of love, will be even more difficult." ”

Love? Seeing Uchida Yuki say this word to himself so lightly, it means that he affirms that there is no love between Lee Hyori and King, which makes Lee Hyori feel strange in his heart.

San Francisco had become uneasy the day after Lee Hyori's "Black Knight" performance, and Jim and Charlie approached the judges for the theater show, "The singer from Asia has won the first place for three days in a row, and if this continues, the face of the Americans will be lost. ”

"We're not used to seeing those Orientals for a long time, but Mr. Jim needs to understand what absolute superiority is, like the performance of the previous two days, we don't need to evaluate it at all, everyone will know that Mr. James lost. In this case, if we judge him as the first, it will lose the credibility of the Committee, which is the only basis for the existence of the Committee. That said, we believe that with Mr. James's strength, there will not always be a gap in absolute strength, and when the strength seems to be close, that is the moment when we can play our role. ”

"Well, that's right," said Jim, "that's what we're supposed to do as cultural defenders, and you'll all be given special gifts from us." ”

"What's so embarrassing?" The judges smiled and said that this is one of the unspoken rules.

On the top of the building in the distance, Catherine and Linda are looking over here with high-powered binoculars, she has been discovered by King, and there is no point in tracking him again, the task over there has been assigned to Hunter, and what Jim, who has a relationship with King, does is of course also very important to the overall detection.

Linda, who can read lips, said, "Looks like they're going to have trouble on a rainy day, and Jim is bribing the judges." ”

"Bribing the judges?" Catherine said, "Is this really the case? How could someone like Jim be so keen on these things, and it might be odd to show me the bank accounts of these people. ”

"It's not something we can do to spy on the accounts of the Citizens Bank," Linda said, "and that requires high-level authorization." ”

"I'll leave this matter to me," said the higher-ups, with Catherine herself the strongest.

It takes time for Catherine to find out what Jim has done, and that night, James wins again in the show, which of course comes when his performance is close to the popular Cheng dù of the Wind and Rain Combo, which is theoretically normal.

"As I said, you can't underestimate your opponents, especially singers in the United States, when there is not much difference in strength, there will be a little tendency, which is normal."

King said this to the Storm Gang just as the judging results had just been released and the theater performance had not yet ended, and Catherine was sitting in the back and heard him in its entirety. What King said was normal, but Catherine, who knew that there might be illegal transactions underneath, felt a heat on her face. The United States, which is sacrosanct in her mind, is stained by a situation like today.

"Then it's to blame the president.,Why did you write so few tunes for us," there was no frustration on a rainy day, "but it's nothing.,Not this time.,Continue to work hard tomorrow.。 Yo, Catherine? You're here. Heck, it's a pity today, and I'm not qualified to invite you to dinner. ”

"Why don't you go today," Linda interjected, "like last time?" While looking at Catherine, the latter was not easy to refuse, so he asked Zifeng to go out with him.

Already a little familiar with each other, Zi Feng asked, "According to your opinion, what kind of singer is our wind and rain group?" ”

"Top-notch!" Linda said without thinking, her mouth was still full of food, she was a very reserved American woman, "one of the best singers I've ever seen." ”

"Pretty good," said Catherine, "the best of the new generation of singers, right?" However, your showdown with James has caused many artists to lose their chances. You have a brokerage company, so why do you have to compete with others here? ”

Yutian replied, "This is a test for us from the president, requiring us to win three consecutive shows in the theater before we are allowed to release an album." ”

(Before Lee Hyori returned to South Korea, King talked to her about developing in the United States, which made Lee Hyori also conflicted, and in the conversation with Uchida Yuki, she found that she did not have the slightest love for King.) After they leave, Jim bribes the theater judges to stop the Storm from singing all the way. ）
