"Zhixian, have you really decided?"

"The application form has been handed in, am I still kidding you?" Li Zhixian replied angrily.

"But, but ......"

"Alas, I have been friends for so many years, and you know the current situation in my family, and you can't allow me to be willful anymore." Knowing what the other party was struggling with, Li Zhixian also sighed deeply and patted the other party's shoulder, and his loneliness and helplessness could be seen from his figure.

"You're not going to say goodbye to the entertainment industry after changing careers, are you?" Although he understood Li Zhixian's distress, the other party still couldn't believe it, took Li Zhixian's arm, and asked with some hesitation.

"Showbiz?" Li Zhixian was stunned, his eyes looked into the distance, there was no focus, as if he was thinking about something, he came back to his senses half-soundingly, and then said: "Maybe I really don't have the talent in this area!" After persisting for so many years, not to mention success, even those singers who sing my works may not know me as the author, and I don't even know whether I have entered this so-called entertainment industry. ”

Hearing Li Zhixian's frustrated look, the other party became a little excited, and the strength to grab his arm was also a little stronger: "It's not going to come to this point, right?" Momentary frustration doesn't mean everything, no one knows better than me how much energy you put into music, can you really bear to let go of all these years of hard work? ”

Feeling that the persuasion was a little insufficient, without waiting for Li Zhixian to speak, he added: "And isn't your work signed by S.M.?" It means that you don't have a chance! ”

Seeing his best friend's expression excited, and his concerned look was still comforting himself, Li Zhixian's heart warmed, and the tacit understanding for many years suddenly understood his intentions.

The two have known each other since they were children, and their friendship of fifteen or sixteen years can be said to be better than that of their relatives. For Li Zhixian's mood has become so low, and he looks determined to change his career, he feels sorry in his heart, he himself is also a musician, and he can't bear to have his friend's talent buried.

At this point, Li Zhixian grabbed his friend's shoulder, smiled and said firmly: "Don't worry, Zhihao." Even if I change careers, I'm sure I'll continue to do music. Over the years, music can no longer be simply said to be my profession or hobby, it has become my habit, my life. It's just that I'm approaching the middle of my 20s, and even though I don't have the trouble of serving anymore, as the only man in the family, it's time for me to support the burden of the family. ”

Hearing Li Zhixian say this, Yu Zhihao's shoulders relaxed, and his gloomy face recovered a lot, he was really worried that Li Zhixian would completely cut off the relationship with the music industry, the entertainment industry has seen too many such cases, and very unsatisfactory artists have never appeared in the public eye after changing careers.

It's just that his mouth is still muttering: "If we can hold on a little longer, we will definitely be famous!" ”

Looking at Zhihao's somewhat gloomy and depressed expression, Li Zhixian also sighed in his heart.

How ruthless he is!

It's just that at this time, seeing his friend's concern and regret for what happened to him, he couldn't bear it, so he deliberately joked, comforted Yu Zhihao and said: "Why do you look like you're happier than me." You've been debuting for so long, and you haven't changed your personality, like a child, no wonder you can't become popular. ”

"Yikes! I'm kind enough to comfort you kid, but you're still sarcastic about me! Yu Zhihao was quite angry that his kindness was so "ridiculed".

Li Zhixian smiled and patted Yu Zhihao's shoulder and said again: "Okay, you know that I have always believed in your ability, don't forget to take care of my relatives and me when you become popular in the future." ”

Yu Zhihao was stunned for a moment, then nodded vigorously, and said with a resolute expression: "Don't worry, dear." ”

※※※※※※※※※※※※※ dividing line for the first time※※※※※※※※※※※※※

Lee Ji-hyun is a native of Seoul.

Why? Because Li Zhixian's grandfather was a Chinese Korean, because of the civil war, he moved to Seoul, South Korea, and by the way, it was called Seoul at the time.

The name Li Zhixian still sounds a bit like a Chinese name, and it was also the grandfather at that time in Chinese with the meaning of Zhimei and virtue, hoping that Li Zhixian could be ambitious and at the same time be able to exercise his own morality.

It can be said that Li Zhixian also has a quarter of Chinese ancestry, but his Chinese level is not flattering, simple daily conversations are okay, a little deeper will immediately show the original form.

In addition, Li Zhixian's English ability is also excellent. Although South Korea, like China, is also an exam-oriented education, South Korea's superficial efforts are much better than China's, formal middle and high schools will have foreign professors, not to mention that Li Zhixian is still studying in expensive foreign Chinese middle schools, most of the courses are taught in all foreign languages.

Lee Ji-hyun's mother's name is Lee Hye-joo, and after leaving the music department of Kyung Hee University, she opened a piano classroom, and Lee Ji-hyun's musical talent was cultivated under the influence of her mother.

It's just that there was a sudden accident at home, and my father not only died in a car accident because of drunk driving, but also left a sky-high compensation for the mother and son to repay. Her mother, Lee Hye-joo, had to talk about piano classes and sell her real estate in Seoul to barely make ends meet. It's just that the family road has fallen, and Li Zhixian's mother also became depressed and became ill, and returned to the hometown of Li Zhixian's grandmother, leaving Li Zhixian alone to study in Seoul.

When it comes to Li Zhixian's experience in the entertainment industry, he has to mention his childhood friend Yu Zhihao.

Woo Ji-ho has always wanted to be a hiphop singer, and he is reading books while doing underground rapper activities. Around 09, when he was still in the cram school of the Academy of Fine Arts, he couldn't find a suitable beat because he was not inspired to participate in a competition, so Li Zhixian started his first hiphop arrangement experience at his request.

At first, Li Zhixian felt very ridiculous, and he didn't know hiphop, so he took what kind of arrangement, but Yu Zhihao used "music theory is the same" as an excuse, plus soft grinding and hard bubbles, and then compromised.

Just for the first time, Yu Zhihao used this arrangement and his own arrangement to win a record second place. Yu Zhihao, who tasted the sweetness, began to shamelessly ask Li Zhixian to help make up a tune or something.

After trying it a few times, Lee Chi-hyun also fell into the novelty of composing, as if he had discovered a new world, and even when his friends did not compete, he began to compose some other works himself, and even enrolled in the composition department at university.

After gradual learning and accumulation, Li Zhixian's production level has become more and more mature, so he wanted to test whether his music could be recognized by professionals, and also hoped that if his works had the opportunity to be included, he could also increase his income, so he began to sing to various music economic companies.

The result was naturally miserable, and there was basically no response from several companies. With no connections, no channels, and just sending songs by email and express mail, it is impossible for any company to approve this way of sending songs.

However, it is no coincidence that a foreign company took a fancy to one of his songs through some means, bought the copyright from Li Zhixian, and included it in the published album. It's just that the singer is not well-known, and it has not caused a market reaction at all.

The experience of being included by S.M. is even more magical, Li Zhixian just tentatively sent two master tapes over, he still doesn't know, how S.M., who has always been known for not collecting songs with the outside, chose his songs, and even stated that they would be included as f(x) and girls' generation albums respectively when he signed the contract.

Lee Ji-hyun was excited about this for a long time, until the release of the f(x) album, and after listening back and forth several times, he found a hint of his own work in a hip-hop song called "Jet".

It's already been adapted, and it's not even his name.

There is no trace of his work in the Girls' Generation album.

This is the first time that Li Zhixian has personally experienced the domineering of a large company.

It was also the first time I had a relationship with S.M.
