Chapter 19: An Eventful Season
Hong Seung-sung's behavior is really strange. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info
Zheng Xiuxun can't figure it out, what is the reason for Hong Shengcheng's sudden change?
Could it be that he was deliberately testing him when this renewal year was approaching? Want to see how loyal he really is to the company?
Obviously not, Hong Shengcheng is not so stupid, this is an act that will completely anger Zheng Xiuxun.
Whether before or after his debut, Jung so-hoon has always been obedient to the company's decisions, if this will arouse Hong Seung-sung's suspicions.
It will only make Zheng Xiuxun's heart completely chilled, and those who have not left their minds will begin to have thoughts of wanting to escape from this kind of place.
Why, exactly? Could it be that he really felt ashamed of him, so he wanted to do something to remedy it?
There is a sentence that Hong Shengcheng is not wrong, the relationship and relationship between the two are indeed not as good as at the beginning, and the reason why Zheng Xiuxun came here is because of the teacher-student relationship between the two.
But after coming here, Hong Shengcheng was busy with the company's affairs, not to mention his duties as a teacher, and the two didn't even see each other, and it was usually M.K who acted as a bridge between the two.
The only good thing is probably that he is given a lot of freedom in terms of BTOB's music.
"Forget it, let's take it one step at a time, I hope the president is really like what he said" Jung so-hoon shook his head and didn't think about it anymore.
This kind of clueless thing, even if he wants to break his head, it is estimated that there will be no result.
It's better to go back to the practice room and practice with your teammates, and now you can save more time to meet Krystal by practicing hard and concentratingly.
I don't know if I felt the pressure from any side, Krystal, who had always been resistant to intimate contact, began to slowly let down her guard.
Although it will not develop to the last step, but Zheng Xiuxun's small caresses, Krystal takes a tacit attitude and does not resist.
It is good to have further development, but for Zheng Xiuxun, this level is far from enough.
It's fine if he hadn't tasted meat, but he already knew the wonderful taste of it, but now Krystal can only look at it but can't eat it, which is the greatest torture for people.
Liu Renna has been very busy recently, and the two of them haven't had much contact, and they don't have a chance to secretly fight tooth sacrifices.
Zheng Xiuxun, who is harmed, has the urge to go clubbing with Fang Rongguo and them, and maybe there will be an irresponsible ons.
Time passed day by day, and by the end of March, the return of BTOB was almost ready, the recording and music video were all ready, and the people in the printing house began to work hard to produce the first batch of samples.
The pre-sale channel on the official website has also opened, and the date has not yet been decided, anyway, in the first half of April.
During this period of time, there are no popular predecessors returning, and the company also sees this opportunity and wants to make BTOB slaughter the list.
Jung so-hoon's life began to trend towards the original "Bebest" and "Mix&Match" periods, and he was basically either at the company or in the dormitory.
Take a trip home once in a while and secretly warm up with Krystal.
Both of them are very hard-working, Krystal is the most popular member of the FX team, and S&M can't let her be idle all the time.
At this time, Zheng Xiuxun realized the bitterness of idol couples.
Meeting is like being a thief, not to mention sneaking, the number of meetings is still less than that there is no time.
But when you're busy all day, it's like you're busy until 9 or 10 p.m.
Tired and half dead, how can you still be in the mood to live with your beloved?
Career and love can't be both, at least for Jung so-hoon and Krystal at this stage, it's a difficult choice.
It is estimated that when Krystal develops to the point of Jessica, or Jung so-hoon develops to the point of GD, he will have free time to let his career make concessions to his love, so that the two things will not occupy each other's time, and career and love can coexist.
After entering April.
The half-year-long Cube listing has finally come to an end.
Cube's market capitalization is estimated at more than 400 billion won, which is only slightly worse than S&M and YG, and almost on par with JYP.
As soon as this news came out, almost everyone who was concerned about this matter was in an uproar, S&M, YG and JYP have been working hard for so long to have their current value.
What about the cube? It has been less than 5 years since its establishment, and it has such an exaggerated market value.
You must know that at the beginning, Cube was nicknamed the 'garbage recycling station' in the circle, because the first batch of trainees and the earliest batch of artists under it were almost all defective products eliminated by other families, including Zheng Xiuxun.
But it is with this group of people that Cube has achieved what it is today.
This makes people have to admire Hong Shengcheng's vision.
The development of the women's group in 4minute can only be described in general, and Kim Hyun-ah's personal development pace is obviously much higher than that of the team.
Cube is mainly strong in the men's group market, with two trump cards, BEAST and BTOB.
Although it is not as good as TVXQ at the beginning, and now it is a bit far behind the likes of BIGBANG, it is only a matter of time before it surpasses, and the potential of BEAST has been almost tapped.
BTOB's potential is endless, as can be seen from this year's gold record, popularity awards, this award and the like.
Few newcomers can get it when they make their debut, but BTOB just did it.
During the period when CUBE was listed, BTOB's achievements have increased the market value of CUBE by at least more than 20%, which is only a conservative estimate.
Because of BTOB and Zheng Xiuxun, investors can see the space for investment, and there is enough upside.
After the listing, the company's shares came to a big change.
The first is that Hong Shengcheng's equity has shrunk significantly, and he originally monopolized 60% of the shares, but the shares in his hands instantly shrank to less than 40%.
Although he is still the first shareholder, the company's voice will definitely not be as authoritative as before, basically bidding farewell to the period of Yiyantang, and some major decisions are no longer made by Hong Shengcheng alone, and he also needs to report to the board of directors.
This is probably the process that every company founder will go through, and choosing to go public means giving the company away.
After the listing, there has been no big change in the company, Zheng Xiuxun and they are still the practice of the practice, the announcement of the announcement, the only difference is that the company seems to have a lot of unfamiliar faces, all of them are people from the management.
It's all arranged by other investment companies, but it has nothing to do with Zheng Xiuxun and them, and they don't have much contact anyway.
Approaching the return, the announcements are slowly starting to increase, and they are all the team's itinerary.
After a busy day's schedule, Zheng Xiuxun and the others returned to the dormitory.
Fang Rongguo and others were talking about how to go clubbing in the future, but Zheng Xiuxun did not participate, but chose to go back to the bedroom and talk to Krystal on the phone.
Before he could call, the phone rang by itself.
Could it be that Krystal has already had a heart and soul with him to this extent? Zheng Xiuxun raised his eyebrows and muttered in surprise.
When I took out my phone and looked at it, I realized that it was not Krystal calling, but Zheng Endi.
After 13 years, the two have rarely been in touch, each is busy with their own careers, not only Zheng Eundi, but also the people of apink rarely practice with him, if there is no krystal, maybe Park Chulong will contact him very often?
This is the first time Zheng Endi has taken the initiative to practice himself.
After a moment's pause, Zheng Xiuxun answered the phone.
"Hello?"
"Suhoon oppa?"
"Well, it's me," Jung so-hoon said with a smile, "Eundi, why did you suddenly remember to call me?" You're a busy man."
It's not that Zheng Xiuxun is ridiculing, since the hit of "Please Answer 1997", with his outstanding performance in the TV series, Zheng Eundi has become the most popular member of APINK, comparing the façade Sun Naun.
After being popular, you will naturally become a busy person, which is an equation that will never change in the circle.
"Xiuxun oppa, don't tease me," Jung Eun smiled bitterly, "How can I compare with you"
"Hehe" Zheng Xiuxun smiled, "Say, what's the matter with me?" ”
"Actually, you should have heard about our team's affairs, right?" Zheng Endi spoke.
What else can you mean about apink?
It's nothing more than the contradiction between Hong Yujun and the company, Zheng Xiuxun doesn't know exactly how the specific contradiction came about, and he doesn't plan to care about this matter, he is just an employee of the company, not management, and it is not his turn to meddle in this kind of thing.
"I've heard some news, what's wrong?" Zheng Xiuxun said softly.
"OPPA, you should know, it's about to be our 2nd anniversary," Zheng Endi paused and said, "Originally, the company planned to arrange for us to return, and we were all making preparations, but the news of the sudden return was withdrawn"
"Yu Xuan's personal itinerary has also been canceled, and she is basically in a state of refrigeration"
"Isn't that normal?" Zheng Xiuxun said.
It is difficult for an artist to win if he makes trouble with the company.
Not everyone can become a myth, and myths only come after the expiration of the S&M contract.
Otherwise, if you look at the three TVXQ separated, JYJ, they fell out with S&M during the contract period, how miserable was the result? When he was at his most popular, he didn't have the opportunity to show his face on TV for several years.
This is the most unbearable result for an artist.
Hong Yujun is still far from the original TVXQ.
"Recently, I heard from Zheng Yaoni that it seems that the company is ready to kick Yu Yan out of the team...... Zheng Endi said worriedly, "The development of the team has finally improved a little, and when I encounter such a thing, I am worried about ......"
"You can rest assured of this" Zheng Xiuxun has a different opinion, "First of all, you have to be clear that the development momentum of 4Minute is not as strong as it was at the beginning, but it is APINK that is slowly improving, in this case, the company must have high hopes for you"
"Secondly, how to say it, Yoyo's positioning in the apink team is actually quite embarrassing, she has never had a sense of existence, she can't compare to Nan En for a long time, her popularity can't compare to you, and her sense of artistry is not as strong as Bomi and Nanzhu, and she is not busy, even if such a member is eliminated, I personally think the impact will not be too big, it must be within the acceptable range of the company"
"I hope so" Zheng Endi was still worried, after all, if the team suffered, she would definitely suffer personally.
Realistically, even if you don't think about the team, you have to think about yourself, right?
"The company's management has a long-term vision that is definitely more long-term than us, and it must be more thoughtful than us, which you can rest assured," Zheng Xiuxun comforted with kind words.
"Hmm" Zheng Endi responded, hesitated for a moment, and then asked, "Xiuxun oppa, ...... you and Chu Long Oni?"
"The two of us broke up, and this time it was a complete disconnection," Zheng Xiuxun said very calmly.
"Is that really the case......" Zheng Endi muttered thoughtfully, "No wonder Chu Long Oni is often alone in a daze"
She ...... How are you lately? Hearing this familiar name again, it was as if some emotion hidden in his heart had been awakened, and Zheng Xiuxun asked a little nervously.
"What do you say? The affairs of the team, plus her personal affairs, can be a good ghost" Zheng Eun sighed "Although this will make Xiuxun oppa you very troubled, I still hope that you can have time to call Chu Long Oni without having to meet, at this time your comfort is obviously more effective than ours, even if you break up"
"............" Zheng Xiuxun was silent, this method is really bad, and for Park Chulong, it is tantamount to drinking to quench his thirst.
"I ...... I'll think about it," after a long hesitation, Zheng Xiuxun replied in amazement.
After ending the call with Jung Eun-di, Jung so-hoon sat quietly on the bed alone for at least half an hour.
With a sigh, he dialed Krystal's phone.
Long pain is better than short pain, just break it completely.
Instead of being sorry for two people, Zheng Xiuxun chose to be sorry for one person.
The conflict between Hong and the company intensified, and the day after Zheng Eundi's phone call, Hong's father began to attack the company on social media for being unfair to his daughter.
There was a tussle between the two sides.
On April 9th, there were 10 days left until the 2nd anniversary of Akink's debut.
Both Acube and Apink officially announced a news that Apink member Hong Yujun chose to terminate his contract with the company early and quit Apink because of his personal and company philosophies.
As soon as this news came out, CUBE was once again the focus of the conversation, and CUBE is a subsidiary of CUBE.
The decision must have come from Cube, and at the same time, the public is also curious, will Apink collapse at all? (To be continued.) )
