Chapter 13: Opportunity
Office of the President of StarshipEntertainment.
"This Zheng Jigao is a little too much!" KimShiDae looked at the document in front of him with a grim face and shouted angrily.
At this time, Kim Do-hoon's face is not very good-looking, he has been a music producer for so long, and he is also a famous celebrity in the Korean music circle, and now he deigned to invite Zheng Ki-gao himself, and he actually got this kind of reply, which made him very faceless.
But he was helpless, after all, it was StarshipEntertainment's internal staff who made a mistake in their work, which led to the loss of the sound source, which directly affected the sound source that should have been released today, and it was normal for Zheng Jigao to have some small opinions, but his requirements were a bit excessive.
At this time, Kim Do-hoon also picked up the appeal letter sent by Jung Ki-go's agent, which couldn't help but ask StarshipEntertainment to increase the original cooperation remuneration by 1. 5 times, which is an exaggerated request to get 35% of the song's profit after the release of the song, is a bit excessive.
However, Kim Do-hoon also understands why Jung Ki-gao would do this, the first is that StarshipEntertainment is at a loss, because of the mistakes of the internal staff, which caused the passivity of things, and the second is because Jung Ki-gao has also been a singer for many years and has won many awards, he listened to the song after it came out, and he can roughly guess the value of the song, so his agent will blush and add a second such a lion's big agreement.
"Substitution! Without him, Zheng Jigao, wouldn't it work? Are you kidding! Kim ShiDae yelled with a gloomy face, and it was obvious that he was in a bad mood right now.
Hearing this, Kim Do-hoon was slightly stunned at first, and then as if he thought of something, he opened his mouth and said to KimShiDae: "KimShiDae, have you thought about it?" ”
Hearing Kim Do-hoon's inquiry, KimShiDae's face began to cloudy, and he was angry just now. But as soon as Kim Do-hyun said this, he had to start thinking seriously about the candidate. The song has been constantly updated on the official website before, and it was supposed to be released today, but it was delayed due to an accident. But I have already said hello to some Korean music source websites, so if I miss the appointment, it will affect my company's reputation.
So, now I have to record the song as soon as possible, the MV of the song has been recorded, there is no problem here, but the song part needs to be re-recorded. If he still asks Jung Ki-gao to record, after all, he and Kang Ji-hyun have been practicing for a long time before, but if they record it again and work a little overtime at night, they should be able to make it in the early morning.
In this way, it seems that inviting Jung Ki-gao to sing again is indeed the best result, but what is also KimShiDae's frustration and helplessness is that StarshipEntertainment's agent has found Jung Ki-go, Kang Ji-hyun himself has also gone to Jung Ki-go, and even now even Kim Do-hoon has asked Jung Ki-gao, and he has not lowered the conditions for opening, which also makes KimShiDae very angry.
"What's the way not to change people, do you really want me to accept his request? That'...... too," KimShiDae said at the end, and his tone couldn't help but look a little helpless.
"If you do decide to make a change, I have someone I'd like to recommend to you." Kim Do-hoon ignored KimShiDae's frustrated tone, and instead said his thoughts lightly.
Hearing this, KimShiDae couldn't help but perk up, he knew how high Kim Do-hoon's status was as a Korean music producer, and now when he heard Kim Do-hoon say this, he was inevitably a little tempted, maybe he really had a way, thinking of this, KimShiDae looked at Kim Do-hoon a little eagerly and asked, "Mr. Kim, does anyone have anyone to recommend?" I'm in a hurry now, so please tell me directly. ”
Seeing that KimShiDae's attitude was more eager, Kim Do-hoon felt a little bit at the bottom of his heart, recalling what he promised Prime Minister Lee today, he couldn't help but say slowly: "KimShiDae, do you know Kim Jong Kook?" ”
"Kim Jong Kook? Do you mean you want Kim Jong Kook to sing? But his words ...... "Kim ShiDae couldn't help but frown when he heard Kim Do-hyun mention Kim Jong Kook and thought he was going to invite Kim Jong Kook to sing.
Although Kim Jong Kook once won the "Triple Crown" in the music industry, it was 9 years ago, and now Kim Jong Kook is still very popular in South Korea in the past few years, but he is not relying on continuing to release albums, his excellent performance in variety shows has gained higher popularity. This is also where Kim ShiDae hesitates a little, although Kim Jong Kook is also a good burden that can increase the attention of the song, but I don't know if Kim Jong Kook's singing skills have fallen, and on the stage of songs, he doesn't seem to be very dazzling.
Seeing KimShiDae's hesitation, Kim Do-hoon couldn't help laughing, and he said to KimShiDae, "Don't worry, I haven't finished yet. Do you remember Kim Jong Kook's 2005 album? The song that helped him win the triple crown, "Standing Still"? ”
"Of course I remember, Mr. Jin, you underestimated me too much." Anyway, it's also the president of an entertainment company, how could he not know these things, so Kim ShiDae looked at Kim Do-hoon a little speechless and said.
"Well, since you remember, I'm not going to say anything more. It was the songwriter who wrote "Standing Still" and the producer of "ThisIsMe", Kim Sung-yeol. Kim Do-hyun chuckled.
"What? He's back? How could it be, didn't he suddenly disappear 6 years ago? How could it be..."Suddenly hearing Kim Do-hoon mention Kim Sung-yeol's name, Kim ShiDae was also surprised, six years ago, the most powerful actor in the entertainment industry, the most sought-after gold medal producer, and Kim Sung-yeol, who was regarded by many people as the most potential artist, disappeared overnight, and there were many rumors in the outside world, but in the end, everyone really found out that he really never appeared again.
In recent years, there have been many newcomers in the Korean entertainment industry, and the most high-profile artist, the artist who debuted early, gradually forgot this name, and few new artists have heard of him, so when Kim Do-hoon proposed Kim Sung-yeol's name, KimShiDae was so surprised.
All I know is that he's back now, and his agent is my friend who found me before. I've just learned about it, and I don't know anything else. Kim Do-hoon replied truthfully.
Hearing this, Kim ShiDae restrained the surprise in his heart a little, and he began to calculate the pros and cons of inviting Kim Sung-yeol in his heart at this time, he exhaled lightly for a long time, looked at Kim Do-hoon seriously, and asked: "If it's really Kim Sung-yeol coming, even if the song can't be released on schedule, it doesn't matter, we can hype it for a while just by relying on Kim Sung-yeol to return to the public eye, but..."
Kim Do-hoon did not refute KimShiDae's words, and it is clear that as the president of Starship Entertainment, his business vision is correct. Besides, as Kim Do-hoon, he is actually looking forward to Kim Sung-yeol's return, after all, he used to be so dazzling, and he still has a little selfishness, that is, he wants to fight with Kim Sung-yeol to see who has a higher level of production.
Seeing Kim Do-hoon's approval, Kim ShiDae continued: "It's just that Kim Sung-yeol has never shown his singing skills in front of the public before, and I'm more worried about him now whether he has good singing skills. While commercial value is important, I also value practical value. ”
The corners of Kim Do-hoon's mouth rose slightly, he took out a USB flash drive from his pocket and handed it to KimShiDae, and said softly, "You can listen to it, the decision is yours." ”
Seoul Hospital.
"You mean that Jung Ki-go's sky-high asking price has put StarshipEntertainment in an embarrassing situation right now, so you took this opportunity to recommend me to Kim Do-hoon, right?" After listening to Prime Minister Lee's narration, Kim Sung-yeol probably knew what was going on.
"Well, that's it." Prime Minister Lee nodded and said to Kim Sung-yeol.
Getting Prime Minister Lee's affirmation again, Kim Sung-yeol couldn't help laughing, he was puzzled: "But that's not right, even if that's the case, I used to act as an actor and a music producer, how could Kim Do-hoon agree so happily?" Isn't he worried that my singing skills will be a mess? ”
"As Master Shenglie said, Kim Do-hoon refused at first, but I copied him the song you recorded a week after you woke up at the Mayo Clinic. After listening, he agreed without any hesitation. Prime Minister Li said in a light tone.
Hearing this, Jin Shenglie was stunned for a moment, and then couldn't help but be happy.
When I was in the United States, I just woke up. Because of the six years of coma and the huge changes after waking up, Jin Shengyeol was once worse than dead, and he was bored. That day, he heard someone playing a song, and the melody immediately attracted Kim Sung-yeol, and he began to listen to the song for the next few days, and one day, when he was in high spirits, he recorded the cover of the song on his computer.
It was from that time that Jin Shenglie officially changed his mood. Now I didn't expect that this song would actually become an opportunity for him to return to the stage, and Kim Sungyeol couldn't help but sigh.
