Chapter 19: Because He's Worthy
Jiang Liuxing took the lead in bowing respectfully to Yang Hyun-seok and said, "First of all, I am very grateful to President Yang Hyun-seok for his kindness to me, and your attitude is also very honest, this is my honor, but the conditions I want are really not low." β
Yang Hyun-seok smiled and said, "Say, I'll see how tall it is." β
Jiang Liuxing said: "In addition to what you just said, you will not use the usual routines to sign me, and you are willing to give me enough free space to support me according to my characteristics, in addition, I have three conditions." β
Yang Hyun-seok said, "Please speak." β
Jiang Liuxing immediately said it, and he had already prepared this plan in his heart.
"First of all, I want to make my debut directly without being a trainee, and I will debut as a solo singer."
"Second, I hope that all my own albums can be handled by myself, writing lyrics, composing, arranging and even producing zuΓ²."
"Thirdly, I hope YG Entertainment will set up a separate music studio for me."
After quickly talking about these three conditions, Jiang Liuxing stared at Yang Xianshuo quietly.
Li Yuchang also looked at Yang Hyun-seok quietly, waiting for Yang Hyun-suk's reply.
Yang Hyun-seok was thinking silently.
After a while, Yang Xianshuo said to Jiang Liuxing: "I will definitely agree to your first condition, and I can also agree to your second condition, because I know that you have this ability, which is enough to single-handedly compose, compose, arrange, and even be your own music producer, as for the third condition......
Yang Hyun-seok said frankly, "With all due respect, your third condition is a bit excessive, although like some other entertainment companies in Korea, we at YG will open subsidiaries and separate studios for certain artists, but those artists are either very popular stars or experienced and capable music producers, and you are just a newcomer." β
He also said: "What's more, opening a separate music studio for you is equivalent to creating an additional brand, which requires a lot of extra money and a lot of work." β
Jiang Liuxing smiled shyly, nodded and said, "I know this, so I just said that the conditions I want are really not low." β
Yang Xianshuo smiled embarrassedly: "It's not low, it's just too high!" β
Yang Hyun-seok asked in an expectant tone, "Can the third condition be removed?" β
Jiang Liuxing paused, smiled and said, "I'm sorry." β
Yang Hyun Suk sighed in disappointment.
Seeing this, Jiang Liuxing sighed in his heart and felt pity.
Maybe it's because he's fully prepared now, or maybe it's because he knows that his ex-girlfriend Yoona will make his debut soon, and under a competitive mentality, he really wants to make his debut now, and YG Entertainment is indeed the best choice in his mind, but there is no way, Kang Meteor is Jiang Meteor, he is indeed a little proud in music, maverick, and unusual.
In order to unswervingly follow his own path of pursuing his dreams, until the future can become the brightest and unique star he aspires to be, he will not compromise on the conditions he proposes. Because he knew that if YG Entertainment didn't meet these conditions, his path to pursuing his dream would be hindered.
"Professor Li, thank you for your recommendation, I'll go out first."
"President Yang Hyun Suk, thank you again for your weight."
Seeing that Yang Hyun-seok had no intention of compromising, Jiang Liuxing didn't want to continue to stay and waste time, so he immediately bowed respectfully to Li Yuchang and Yang Hyun-seok and walked out of the office.
After Jiang Meteor walked out, Li Yuchang sighed, feeling very pity, he was not surprised by Jiang Meteor's conditions, nor did he feel that there was anything wrong, he even felt that if such conditions were not prescribed, it would not be Jiang Meteor. His sigh was mainly because the road of chasing dreams that Jiang Liuxing insisted on was really difficult to walk.
At this time, Yang Xianshuo said to Li Yuchang: "Doesn't Professor Li think that his conditions are a bit excessive? β
Li Yuchang said calmly: "I don't think it's too much, I can only say that these conditions are really high, but what I want to say more is that signing him, these conditions are nothing, because he is worth it!" β
Yang Xianshuo said playfully: "I heard that when your school first recruited him, you personally interviewed him, and also gave the highest evaluation, saying that he is a rare musical genius in a century? β
Li Yuchang nodded: "Yes." β
Yang Xianshuo smiled and said, "As far as I know about you, you don't just praise students, let alone such crazy praise, this kind of praise is really a bit exaggerated." β
Li Yuchang said: "I also know that this kind of praise is a bit exaggerated, even a little bluff, a musical genius that is rare in a century, this statement is not reliable, Beethoven is a rare encounter in a century, Michael Jackson is also a rare encounter in a century, and the two are not easy to compare." But I couldn't help but use this compliment at the time, as if it wasn't enough to show my appreciation and importance for him. β
Lee Woo-chang then said seriously, "I can also tell you frankly that a genius like him, even if it is your YG Entertainment company, it is impossible to keep it for a long time." β
Yang Hyun-seok asked, "What do you mean?" β
Lee Woo-chang said, "Sooner or later, a person like him will have to fly away, and in front of him, your YG may be too small!" But until then, it's your luck if your YG can sign him, and even if he goes away in the future, he will leave a good name on YG, and I know that he is a grateful kid. β
Yang Xianshuo was stunned, he knew that Li Yuchang attached great importance to and even doted on Jiang Meteor, but he didn't expect such an evaluation.
After being stunned for a while, Yang Xianshuo smiled awkwardly: "Maybe I don't have that blessing, because I can't accept the conditions he offers now." β
Li Yuchang asked: "Don't you plan to think about it again?" β
At this moment, Kwon Zhilong suddenly appeared at the door of the office, bowed respectfully to Li Yuchang and Yang Hyunshuo in the office, and said, "Professor Li, president, can I come in?" β
Li Yuchang smiled and said, "Come in." β
Quan Zhilong walked in.
Yang Xianshuo asked in a pampered tone, "Zhilong, why are you here?" Are you looking for me? β
If Jiang Liuxing is Li Yuchang's favorite protΓ©gΓ©, then Quan Zhilong is undoubtedly Yang Xiansuk's favorite protΓ©gΓ©.
Quan Zhilong privately said to Jiang Liuxing that Yang Hyun-seok is not only his mentor, but also the most important partner in his life.
In fact, at YG Entertainment, Yang Hyun-suk's favorite and cherished artist is Kwon Ji-ryong, who joined YG Entertainment when he was 13 years old and established a relationship with Yang Hyun-seok for many years, often talking and chatting with Yang Hyun-seok in private.
Yang Hyun-seok admires Kwon Ji-ryong's talent, and feels that Kwon Ji-ryong's musical creativity sometimes makes him feel incredible, and feels that people like Kwon Ji-ryong are born stars, which is also reflected in fashion, and for many years, Yang Hyun-seok has never seen Kwon Ji-ryong wear the same clothes when he arrives at the company.
The reason why Yang Hyun-seok likes Kwon Ji-ryong is also that he feels that although Kwon Ji-ryong has some image of a bad boy on stage, off the stage, Kwon Ji-ryong is the most humble idol he has cultivated, even after Kwon Ji-ryong debuted and became famous, when the company's makers or seniors ate in the office, Kwon Ji-ryong would respectfully help clean up.
Right now, in the face of Yang Xiansuk's inquiry, Quan Zhilong said calmly: "Yes, I am here to find you." β
Quan Zhilong immediately asked suspiciously: "President, have you seen Jiang Meteor just now?" β
Quan Zhilong also heard the previous school broadcast and knew that Jiang Liuxing was summoned by Li Yuchang.
Yang Xianshuo nodded: "Yes." β
Quan Zhilong asked curiously, "Did you talk to him about anything?" β
Yang Hyun-seok asked rhetorically, "What's wrong?" β
Quan Zhilong paused and said, "That's the case, Jiang Liuxing is a very good friend of mine, so I know that he is really talented in music, so I want to recommend it to you, the president, and I hope you can sign him to help him make his debut." β
This is the purpose of Quan Zhilong's special visit to Yang Xianshuo, to recommend Yang Xianshuo to sign Jiang Meteor, although when he mentioned this to Jiang Meteor before, Jiang Meteor shook his head and politely refused, but out of the righteousness of his friends and sincere appreciation of Jiang Meteor, Quan Zhilong couldn't help but come to recommend.
Yang Xianshuo smiled and said, "I don't need you to recommend it, I already told him about it just now." β
Quan Zhilong was stunned for a moment, and then realized that Li Yuchang's broadcast to summon Jiang Meteor just now was probably for this matter.
Quan Zhilong smiled awkwardly.
Yang Xianshuo said embarrassedly: "It's a pity that your friend's conditions are too high, and I can't satisfy him." β
Quan Zhilong let out an "ah", with a look of regret on his face, but it was not too strange, he naturally knew Jiang Liuxing's temperament.
At this time, Yang Xianshuo asked curiously: "Zhilong, how do you think Jiang Liuxing's talent in music compares to you?" β
Quan Zhilong responded calmly: "He is better than me, in my mind, he is a real musical genius, and his talent in music is very comprehensive." After a pause, Quan Zhilong said again: "President, I know that the conditions he offered may be really high, but I think he is really worthy of your signing." β
Yang Hyun-seok was surprised when he heard this, he knew that Kwon Zhilong was also a little proud of music.
Thinking of Li Yuchang's strong recommendation before, Yang Xianshuo couldn't help but hesitate a little.
"President, Professor Li, then I'll go out first."
The purpose shows that Quan Zhilong did not stay any longer, and after greeting him respectfully, he walked out of the office.
As soon as he walked out of the office, Quan Zhilong couldn't wait to call Jiang Liuxing's mobile phone and found Jiang Liuxing.
Quan Zhilong didn't mention Yang Xianshuo's matter, but said to Jiang Liuxing a little impatiently: "Come with me to the rehearsal room." β
Jiang Meteor was surprised: "What's wrong?" β
Kwon Ji-ryong excitedly said, "I recently wrote a new song that even our president praised as the title song for Bigbang's first mini album to be released in the second half of the year. β
Kang Meteor smiled and asked, "Bigbang is releasing a mini album again?" β
Kang Meteor Sung knew that after Bigbang's official debut in 2006, they released three singles in succession and released their first full-length album in December, but they didn't expect to release their first mini album so soon.
"yes, as a popular group, that's often the case." Quan Zhilong said, and then grabbed Jiang Liuxing's arm: "I specially brought the CD of this song, let you listen to it first, believe me, this song is absolutely good and cool!" β
Jiang Liuxing smiled bitterly and said, "But I still have to go to class, unlike you who have the privilege of this." β
Quan Zhilong asked, "Is it an important lesson?" β
Jiang Liuxing shook his head: "It's not very important. β
"What's the matter, come with me." After speaking, Quan Zhilong pulled Jiang Liuxing towards the rehearsal room.
"Alas, skipping school again." Jiang Liuxing thought helplessly in his heart, but he was also very curious about what kind of good song Quan Zhilong wrote, Jiang Meteor believed that this song must not be simple if Quan Zhilong himself was so excited.
