Chapter 24: The Secret War

"Hard work~~~" A few hours later, the recording of the program "Night Heart" ended, and in the hard work of the host and director, Han Quanyou also bowed a few times, and rushed to the "Night Heart" waiting room, turned on the TV and locked the channel to SBS TV's "Popular Songs".

At this time, "Popular Ballads" has not started, and there is still a little time. Seeing this, Han Quanyou couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief. You must know that when "Night Heart" was just recorded, Han Quanyou was always worried about the situation on Rain's side. Although I know that there is no time, "Popular Songs" will definitely not officially start, but I am worried for no reason.

"Huh~~~ Kwon You, what's wrong with you?" Park so-hong walked into the waiting room and saw Han Quanyou staring at the TV intently, and asked curiously.

"Ah~~ Brother is you, it's nothing, it's just that today Rain is going to launch a new album in "Popular Ballads". Regarding Park so-hong's inquiry, Han Kwon-woo did not hide anything, but said it directly. Anyway, everyone is eating together in the same circle, and confidential information is limited to hostile companies or fans, excluding people in the entertainment industry.

Besides, what happened in the entertainment industry, even if you don't say it, I'm afraid people will already know about it.

"Oh, I see." After listening to Han Kwonwoo's explanation, Park so-hong nodded and said. Although he is a host, Park Xiuhong is not very unfamiliar with many things in the entertainment industry.

Park so-hong also understood why Han Kwon-woo was so nervous, and why he seemed absent-minded when he was recording the show just now, it turned out to be like this. Although he was very upset that Han Kwonwoo was not thinking about other things in his program center, but now that he knows the answer, Park so-hong has no temper.

Although Park so-hong is not very clear about what Rain's debut means to Han Kwon-woo or SS Company, at least one thing is certain, it is definitely very important.

"Hey~~~ Kwon You, I look very worried and nervous when I look at you, you can't do it here, since you're so worried about being nervous, why don't you go over and take a look, it's not far away anyway." Looking at Han Kwon-woo, who was worried, Park so-hong proposed.

"Thank you so much, brother, next time I invite you to drink, you must come." Park so-hong's words made Han Quanyou suddenly realize, yes, it's all on SBS TV, "Popular Songs" is not far from "Night Heart", it's just a few floors, take the elevator and arrive immediately, why didn't you think of it.

patted his head, Han Quanyou immediately stood up, and in Park Xiuhong's stunned, he grabbed Park Xiuhong's hand and said a few words of thanks, and left in a hurry.

"Hehe, this fire!" It wasn't until Han Kwonwoo's figure disappeared from Park so-hong's sight that Park so-hong reacted and shook his head with a smile.

Hurriedly came to the "Popular Ballads" waiting room, and after asking the staff, I found the waiting room where Rain was, and walked in without knocking on the door.

"Chi Kaoru, how's it going?" Walking into the waiting room and seeing Rain putting on makeup, Han Quanyou hurriedly walked over and asked.

"Uh~~ Brother, you're here, the show is over." Obviously, Rain was also taken aback when he saw Han Quanyou, and after reacting, he asked with a smile.

"Well, it's just over, I'm not worried about your side, so I'll come over and have a look." The people in the entire waiting room are all from SS Company, and Han Quanyou is not polite, so he directly moved a chair and sat down next to Rain and said.

"It's just been rehearsed, it's not a big problem!" Rain also knew why Han Quanyou was so nervous about his stage this time, and said calmly.

"Hehe, don't think too much, you have to believe that you can do it." Although Rain said very calmly, Han Quanyou still saw Rain's nervousness and hurriedly comforted him.

There's no way, if it's usually with Rain's surname and psychological endurance, of course I won't feel nervous because of the last stage. But this time the situation is different, this time Rain's body is under tremendous pressure, and if he is not nervous, it is a demon.

"Yes!" Rain didn't know what to say, or that he wasn't going to hide anything from Han Kwonwoo. He just nodded very firmly, but his nervousness and worry were still a little obvious.

patted Rain on the shoulder, Han Quanyou didn't know what to say, anyway, it was useless to say anything now, and the more he talked, the more nervous Rain became. Since this is the case, why not say it, at present, Han Quanyou can only expect that at the moment when he actually performs on the stage, Rain can enter the state, not seeking to play abnormally, but only to play normally.

Fortunately, with Han Quanyou's understanding of Rain, coupled with the news and understanding of Rain before the crossing, he knew that the more critical and big the stage, the more calm and excellent Rain's performance became. Thinking of this, Han Quanyou's face couldn't help but improve a little.

"Knock knock~" When the two fell silent with each other, a knock on the door surprised the two.

"Oh, Chi-kaoru, how are you preparing...... Hey~ Kwon You, you're also there! The door was opened, and I saw the two hosts, Kim Dong-wan and Park Han-sung, walk in, and when they found out that Han Kwon-woo was also there, Kim Dong-wan was obviously stunned.

"Hehe, brother, you're here, sit down!" Seeing Kim Dongwan and Park Hanxing, who were stunned, Han Quanyou immediately stood up and greeted him with a smile in the manner of the master.

"Brother Kwon You, you don't seem to have participated in "Popular Ballads" today!" Inviting the two to the sofa, Park Hanxing looked at Han Quanyou and asked curiously.

"Hehe, I just finished recording "Night Heart", and I thought that Ji Xun was here to prepare for the stage, so I also came over to take a look." Hearing Park Han-sung's answer, Han Kwon-woo explained with a smile.

"Oh, I see." Kim Dong-wan on the side understood why Han Quanyou appeared in the waiting room of Rain.

"Okay, no more nonsense, let's get on with our work. Hello everyone, I'm Kim Dong-man, and now I've arrived at the RAIN lounge. Wow~~~ Rain has finally returned after a year of wandering in Yuben, and I am really looking forward to Rain's return to the stage. Okay, Rain, you can say hello to the audience too. ”

Kim Dongwan stood up, nodded to the photographer following behind him, and then began to host the show in front of the camera.

Kim Dong Man's actions finally made Han Kwon Woo and Rain react, no wonder Kim Dong Wan and Park Han Sung ran to the waiting room, it turned out that they were going to record something, and then play it when Rain was ready to appear.

"Hello everyone, I'm rain, this is the first stage of my return, please take care of me." After Rain reacted, he was still a very qualified artist, and greeted the camera unhurriedly.

"Hee-hee~fire is also there, fire is also here to say hello to the fans at the scene." At this time, Park Hanxing pulled Han Quanyou on the side to the camera and said with a smile.

"Hehe, hello everyone, I'm Fire, this is the first stage of Rain's return, please support me." Although he was not very reluctant, Han Quanyou still replied very decently.

"Hehe, okay, you two are busy first, we have to go to the other artist waiting rooms to record some content, let's go first, rain come on!" Seeing that it was almost over, Jin Dongwan nodded at Park Hanxing on the side, signaling that the other party could withdraw.

"Good work, go slowly!" Seeing that the two were about to leave, Han Quanyou and Rain also hurriedly bowed and sent each other away, all the way to the other party's waiting room. Uh~ I have to say, the phrase "hard work" has a lot of meanings in South Korea, basically as long as it is a polite phrase, you can use this phrase, saying hard does not mean that Kim Dong Wan and Park Hanxing are really hard, what hard do they have, just come over to chat and then record something. Han Quanyou and Rain said to the two of them that they had worked hard, but it was just a polite expression.

"Okay, Ji Kaoru, don't think too much, when will you play." Seeing off Kim Dong-wan and Park Han-sung and closing the door, Han Kwon-woo patted Rain's shoulder and asked.

"Well, it's decided, I'm the fourth to play." Because Rain does not have such a super popularity and terrifying influence as Han Kwonwoo, and the debut time is relatively short, the order of appearances is also ranked first.

"It doesn't matter the order, come out early and rest early, and we'll go together to celebrate the wine later." Hearing that Rain was a little lost when he said that he was the fourth to appear, Han Quanyou hurriedly comforted Rain.

In Han Quanyou's heart, it doesn't matter what the order of appearance is, as long as you do your best. However, Han Quanyou seems to have appeared in "Popular Ballads" since he participated in "Popular Songs", except for the first few times when he appeared in the second and third places, the rest of the times are basically the penultimate first and second appearances, which can be called a heavyweight singer.

Now Han Quanyou still looks like he doesn't care about math, it doesn't matter, it doesn't matter, and he comforts Rain. That is, Rain, who knows Han Quanyou very well and knows that Han Quanyou is telling the truth. Otherwise, other people would really think that Han Quanyou was standing and saying that he didn't have back pain.

"Knock Knock Knock !!" Just then, there was another knock on the door, and it was clear that someone else was coming.

Hearing the knock on the door, Han Quanyou wondered who was coming to find Rain. It's impossible for someone to come to him, after all, he didn't participate in this issue of "Popular Ballads" at all, even the host doesn't know, so he will be so surprised when he sees himself just now, and it's impossible for others to know that they will be here in rain.

"TVXQ ~ In this issue, only TVXQ debuted later than me." Seeing Han Quanyou's inquiring eyes, Rain thought about all the groups and singers who participated in this issue of "Popular Songs", and suddenly said.

"Yes!" After listening to Rain's explanation, Han Quanyou suddenly understood. Obviously, this is definitely MS Company, or Li Xiuman's suppression of himself and SS Company. You must know that in the recent period, TVXQ has not had any new singles, and the promotion period has ended. With TVXQ's current popularity, I believe it should be very busy, and it is impossible to take time out of the busy time to participate in an issue of "Popular Ballads".

But this time TVXQ just came over, so there is only one possibility, that is, the itinerary requested by Li Xiuman, and even the forced surname arrangement, in order to be terrible is to block the return of rain. After all, as long as you block Rain, it is equivalent to slapping Han Quanyou, and at the same time teaching SS Company a hard lesson.

Thinking of this, Han Quanyou suddenly felt angry in his heart, Han Quanyou didn't believe that Li Xiuman didn't know what the success of Rain's return to the stage this time meant to SS Company.

You must know that in the position of the president of the brokerage company, Li Xiuman has been sitting for many years, and it is impossible not to know. Now that I know it, I deliberately asked Dongfang Shenqi to participate in this issue of "Popular Ballads", then there is only one possibility, which is to suppress RAIN as much as possible in order to achieve the purpose of suppressing SS Company.

If this time because of the appearance of TVXQ, Rain's return to the stage did not cause much reaction, it would be absolutely fatal for SS Company. Even as long as some media deliberately spread rumors, I'm afraid it will be really difficult for SS to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry.

Thinking of this, how could Han Quanyou not be angry, Li Xiuman made it clear that he wanted to put his company to death, if he didn't feel angry, it would be a strange thing.

At this time, the five TVXQ also walked in, and found that Han Quanyou was also present, TVXQ was also stunned for a moment, but it still reacted quickly, and under the leadership of the captain Yunhao, the identity of the junior greeted the two: "Hello seniors, we are TVXQ, please take care of us." ”

Hearing TVXQ's greeting, Rain subconsciously frowned, although TVXQ's greeting was very decent, but it felt awkward to hear this in Rain's ears.

You must know that compared with TVXQ, RAIN is worse than TVXQ in terms of status, influence, or the number of fans. And TVXQ still looks like a junior, asking the seniors to take care of him, which seems to be a slap in the face in Rain's eyes.

Uh~ Actually, Rain is not such a stingy person, but because the relationship between the two sides is based on hostile companies, Rain subconsciously treats TVXQ as an enemy.

However, Rain couldn't say anything, he could only clench his fists, and secretly swore in his heart that he must work hard to surpass TVXQ. In the future, TVXQ must be convinced by this sentence of asking the seniors to take care of it, and it sounds natural for granted.

"Hehe, okay, you guys are also coming to participate in this issue of "Popular Ballads"?" Seeing that the owner of Rain was stunned and didn't say anything, Han Quanyou hurriedly stood up and entertained TVXQ as the master.

"Hey~~~ I don't know why, we're not in the publicity period now, we're usually too busy to have time off, and the president still wants us to participate in this issue of "Popular Ballads", I really don't know what the president thinks." After listening to Han Quanyou's words, Kim Jae-joong said a little depressed.

"Shut up in the middle ~~~ What does the president think, no matter your business, you can honestly do what the president wants." Yun Hao's face changed, and he hurriedly interrupted Kim Jae-jung, who was about to say something, stared at Kim Jae-jung and said slowly.

"Hehe, okay, it's nothing, anyway, everyone has their own hands!" Seeing Kim Jae-joong with an aggrieved face, and then at Yun Ho, who was a little guilty, Han Quanyou instantly understood what the two of them thought.

Thinking of this, Han Quanyou smiled and patted Yunho's shoulder and said. The meaning is very clear, your president and I have a grudge, it doesn't matter to you, even if your president asks you to come over and suppress me, I won't be angry, everyone has their own hands.

"Thank you, senior. Fire seniors, rain seniors, let's go first, and we have to visit the other seniors. Yun Hao said with a grateful face.

"What do you think?" Sending TVXQ away, looking at Rain who had not spoken on the side, Han Quanyou asked lightly.

"One day, when I hear TVXQ again, I will definitely take it for granted." After saying that, Rain snorted coldly and sat down in a chair and motioned for the makeup artist to continue applying makeup.

"Huh!" Listening to Rain's answer, Han Quanyou smiled and didn't say anything. You must know that Han Quanyou is very familiar with Rain, and of course I also know why Rain's face is so bad when I saw TVXQ just now, I know all this Han Quanyou.

However, Han Quanyou is still very happy about Rain's pride and self-confidence, if Rain does not have this pride and self-confidence, then the achievements that must be achieved are destined to be limited.

"Actually, I don't want to offend MS!" Sitting next to Rain, Han Quanyou said lightly. Looking at Rain, who looked puzzled, he couldn't help but smile and continued: "Yes, I didn't intend to offend MS from the beginning. ”

Taking a deep breath, Han Quanyou continued: "I'm not Brother Zhenrong, I don't have a huge network like Brother Zhenrong and relationships with major TV stations. I don't have anyone who can come over to help me point out how to do a good job in the position of president, we SS in all fairness, there is no MS funding, no MS relationship, no MS follow-up strength, no MS talent, basically we can say that our SS is nothing compared to MS, so I don't want to fall out with MS and Li Xiuman from the beginning. ”

"Then brother, why did you ...... last time," Rain couldn't help but ask.

"Yes, if you can give me another choice, I will definitely mend my relationship with Li Xiuman. But that's the way it is, there is no regret medicine in the world, and it is doomed when it happens, so I won't think about it now. Since it has fallen out, then the two sides don't have to be polite, just do it in their own way, just like this time Dongfang God got up, this is normal, our strength is not as good as others, and there is nothing to say. ”

At this time, the rest of the staff had already quieted down, quietly waiting for President Han Kwonwoo's speech. Anyway, the entire waiting room is owned by SS Company, and Han Quanyou has nothing to hide.

"I know it's true that we're not as good as MS anywhere, but I've never been scared or regretted. Again, we don't have anything, are we still afraid of ms. It's a big deal, and if we win, we will be able to gain a foothold in the entertainment industry, just like JYP at the beginning. It's not a big deal if you lose, it's just a big deal to stop eating the bowl of rice in the entertainment industry, and you won't really die, what is there to be afraid of. What's more, we haven't really started to fight each other yet, and only God can know who wins and who loses. ”

Looking at all the thoughtful people, Han Quanyou said with a smile: "My meaning is very simple, we are too weak compared to MS, so weak that we basically have no way out." We can only fight with each other as much as we can, as long as we work together, what about MS, when did you see that MS really crushed a brokerage company. It can be said that with my head, our company has been invincible, and even if we lose, it is just that it is not very easy. ”

Indeed, suppression is suppression, and it is impossible for MS to grasp SS to death, if this is the case, then the political axe department will intervene. There is no way, the two brokerage companies are fighting, plus the artists under the two companies, the impact is too great, and it is impossible for the political axe department to ignore it. Therefore, MS's suppression of SS is only aimed at its artists, just like the current TVB coming to participate in "Popular Ballads", it can only choose such a dark war method in order to block Rain's return to the stage and minimize the influence of Rain's return to the stage. With this very troublesome and slow effect, forcing the other artist to gradually disappear from people's sight in the end.

But as Han Quanyou said, with his own head, as long as he creates (pirated) classic songs from time to time, then MS's biggest killer feature has no effect on SS at all, and he can't suppress it if he wants to.
