Chapter XVII: The Cold War
Chapter XVII: The Cold War
In the recording studio.
With Jung so-hoon's departure, it became very quiet.
The members of Apink looked at each other, and the sudden situation made them a little overwhelmed.
Especially the younger ones, they can't look flustered.
Park Chulong bit her lower lip, she was the captain chosen by the company.
The position of captain seemed a little unfamiliar to her.
I can get along with Zheng Xiuxun a lot, and after I went to the TeamB practice room to get acquainted.
There is always something to learn, and at this time, it is often the oldest person in the team or the captain who stands up.
She has both of these conditions, so she must stand up to appease her sisters' panicked feelings.
Trying to control her feelings, she pretended to be calm, "Don't worry, everyone, it may be that she made too many mistakes before, so Xiuxun is a little angry"
"You also know that when it comes to practice, he has almost perverted requirements, and it's not aimed at anyone"
"I'll go out and see, you'll all stay here"
"Hmm" the members nodded, as if they had found the backbone.
Standing up, Park Chulong came outside the aisle.
After all, Acube is only a branch, and the company's conditions are not as superior as Cube.
The overall layout of the company is very small, and Zheng Xiuxun stood at the end of the aisle to make a call.
"Brother M.K, it's not that I'm asking too much, Apink does have a fatal flaw"
"If a team does not have a good lead singer, such a team, even if it is launched to the market, it will not succeed"
"It's not that I'm too demanding, if you don't believe it, you can come here by yourself and listen to the recording effect to know"
"Okay, I'll stay here and wait for you to come"
Hanging up the phone, Zheng Xiuxun turned around and saw Park Chulong standing behind him expressionlessly.
"You...... What's coming?" his expression was a little unnatural.
"I just wondered, why were you saying those words? In your eyes, we are so bad? So bad? Pu Chulong frowned slightly, as if he was restraining the anger in his heart.
"I said, it has nothing to do with you, it's the composition of your team that has a problem," Zheng Xiuxun pinched his brows and explained.
"I'll admit it, maybe I didn't speak in a good tone before, if you don't find it acceptable, I can apologize"
"Aren't you questioning our abilities? Doesn't it hurt Pumi and Namzhu's self-esteem to say that kind of thing? They are the company's approved lead singers," Park asked.
"That only means that the company chose the wrong person when choosing someone," he retorted in a blunt tone, "I don't think the two of them have the potential to be good lead singers"
"You can ruin their efforts with a single word? Do you treat your friends like this? Park Chulong said angrily.
She didn't understand why Zheng Xiuxun had changed so much recently, and she was completely two people before, like a stranger standing in front of her.
Yoon Pu-mi and Kim Nam-joo are both good friends of his, aren't they?
"............" frowned, and Zheng Xiuxun was also very angry.
Park Chulong's behavior seems a little unreasonable, and he explains it so clearly.
"I don't want to quarrel with you over this kind of thing, I'll wait for M.K to come along."
He's been in a bad mood lately, and the pressure from the company has taken him breathless.
I just want to spend the last days with Park Chulong, why don't you be understood?
Didn't he know that Yin Pumei and the others were his good friends?
If it weren't for their future, how could he have stopped recording the album? How could he not know that he had offended people so much.
But now Park Chulong is not comforting him, but questioning him.
It's really tiring.
"I'm the captain of Apink, so I need to defend my own members, and I have the right to know why we stopped recording our group's albums, are you happy with that reason? Jung so-hoon senior"
Don't look at Park Chulong, who is usually very gentle, knows how to take care of people, and doesn't get angry much.
But it is precisely this kind of person that when he really starts to lose his temper, it is like a volcanic eruption.
Clearly, she was already angry.
even began to call Jung so-hoon a senior.
This sentence of seniors, Zheng Xiuxun sounds so harsh.
"I also have the right to refuse to answer you, Park Chulongxi, are you satisfied with this answer?" After saying this sentence with an expressionless face, he turned sideways and left from Park Chulong's side.
There are a lot of things that are depressed in his heart, and he is afraid that he will really can't help but quarrel if he stays.
Standing in place in a daze, Park Chulong couldn't help but squat down directly, his shoulders shrugged, and he sobbed.
Similarly, this sentence made her heart ache.
Zheng Xiuxun, who hadn't gone far, heard her sobbing, paused, and after a few seconds, continued to walk forward.
This may be an opportunity, or it can be said to be an opportunity given to him by God.
He had to make himself more sensible, and he must not turn around to comfort Park Chulong.
Let this misunderstanding continue, so that on the day of the breakup, with this adaptation period, Park Chulong will not be too sad.
As for the infamy to be carried, let him bear it alone.
………………
"Sing 'Idon'tknow' again, let me hear it"
It didn't take long for M.K to arrive at Acube.
Unaware of the atmosphere in the studio, he immediately directed the Apink members back into the studio.
"Got it" The six nodded, ready to start singing again.
The recording is performed in which each part is sung separately into a separate line.
Fortunately, when the song reached the place where Jung so-hoon stopped before, M.K's brows also furrowed slightly.
"Yin Pumeixi, you come and sing this and try it," he commanded.
Hearing this, Yin Pumei began to sing according to his instructions, but it did not satisfy him, shook his head, and he motioned for the next one.
Soon the round was over, and the six people who sang failed to satisfy him.
The six members of Apink looked even more nervous and worried, and M.K was a serious senior executive of the company.
"I said that there was a problem with the composition of the team, Brother M.K, you still don't believe it, now believe it, right?" Zheng Xiuxun said.
"Indeed...... M.K pinched his chin, "Stop your album recording for the time being, Park Chu Longxi, you continue to lead the team in daily practice, debut practice, slow down a little"
“…… Yes" Park Chulong's face turned pale and nodded obediently.
This sentence means that their previous efforts were in vain, and they fell from quasi-artists to previous trainees in an instant.
The other 5 people reacted differently, and the youngest Wu Xiarong even cried.
I can't help but feel a little dissatisfied with Zheng Xiuxun, and even resentment, in their opinion, it is Zheng Xiuxun who ruined their debut.
"You don't have to worry too much, I'll communicate with the president when I get back," M,K comforted.
"It's not your strength problem, it's that the company really lacked consideration before, and Kim Nam-joo Xi and Yoon Pu-mi Xi are not suitable for the lead singers"
"So, let's put the debut thing aside for the time being, the company can't launch a group with such obvious flaws"
It may be unforgiving, but it's just the way it is.
When it is taboo for managers to be emotional, since the company launched Apink, it is expected that they must succeed.
I can't even pass this hurdle myself, how can I ask the market to accept this new group?
After explaining, M.K and Jung so-hoon came out of the aisle.
"Xiuxun, won't you explain more to them?" M.K asked curiously.
He knew that Zheng Xiuxun had a good relationship with them, but after experiencing this incident, he couldn't say it well.
If the misunderstanding gets deeper and deeper, this relationship is probably gone.
Now it seems that the members of Apink have determined that it was Jung so-hoon who was preventing them from making their debut.
Who can remain calm and rational in the face of such a thing? Park Chulong quarreled with Zheng Xiuxun because of this, not to mention them.
"No need" Zheng Xiuxun shook his head, "There is a little crack, which is what the company is most happy to see, right?" ”
After saying that, he turned around and left, shaking his head, and M.K followed.
In this matter, it is indeed the company's shame on Zheng Xiuxun, a young man with strong blood, and it is normal for him to have grievances.
Apink was put to a halt with the project.
The relationship between Jung so-hoon and Yoon Pu-mi and others fell directly to the freezing point.
Park Chulong also began to have a cold war with him, and for several days, the two did not take the initiative to contact each other.
They couldn't see each other, the project was stopped, Zheng Xiuxun didn't have to go to Acube, and Park Chulong and the others wouldn't go back to Cube to practice.
M.K reported the defects in the Apink project to Hong Seung-sung.
The company is currently discussing a solution.
In an instant, the fate of the six members of Apink became unknown.
"Xiuxun, don't you really want to explain it to them?" In the dormitory, Fang Rongguo comforted.
He could see that Zheng Xiuxun was depressed these days, and he also knew the ins and outs of the matter.
If Zheng Xiuxun hadn't been stopping them, they would have gone to help him explain a long time ago.
"No, brother, don't worry about this matter" Zheng Xiuxun shook his head.
His heart is now also full of guilt for Park Chulong and others.
But he doesn't regret doing this, rather than letting Park Chulong and the others make their debut in a hurry, and then be eliminated from the market.
It's better to suffer a little at this time.
It's a pity that Park Chulong doesn't have the ability to read minds, so it's impossible to know that there are so many things in his heart.
