Chapter 1049: Xianyi Calls

Liu Zaishi is a luminous body, not only can shine on himself, but also illuminate the people around him, so that every member around him highlights his unique charm, many artists, especially those who have just debuted and are not famous, are also willing to appear on Liu Zaishi's show, because they know that they don't have to care about anything on his show, as long as they follow him closely, they can ensure the amount of broadcast and ensure their own shots.

And Liu Zaishi is very good at guiding newcomers, which is not the same as Jiang Hudong, Brother Hudong gives people a strong sense of oppression, and it is very stressful to do shows with him, and with Liu Zaishi, there is also pressure, but the way of acting is not the same, and Brother Shi is more peaceful.

Kim Do-joon and Ji persuaded Gary for a long time, and finally agreed to the two of them and decided to give it a try.

Anyway, it's always good to try, whether it's success or failure, it's normal, besides, participating in variety shows doesn't affect your acting career, maybe you can expand some new business opportunities, leessang's performance announcement itinerary is too little, and the announcement itinerary of other idol groups in one day is equal to their month or even half a year, except for individual activities, group activities, basically none, which is also wonderful.

Originally, the three of them were going to get together in the evening, drink some soju, and chat, but who knew that Ji answered a phone call halfway, looking at his expression, with an obscene appearance, he didn't have to guess who called, it must be Sister Zhengya.

As soon as I saw Ji take the lead and slipped away, Gary was the same, I had to think about it when I went back, how to fix this variety show, I was not psychologically prepared at all. I'm going to have to look for haha. Ask him for advice. After all, we will often work together in the future, and we will start to cultivate tacit understanding now, and it will be smoother to record the show in the future.

In this way, the three of them left, and Kim Do-jun suddenly felt very bored, forget it, let's stay alone. Counting on them to have no drama, they all have their own things, simply cleaned up the recording studio and closed the door, and they were ready to go home.

As soon as he got into the car, Kim so-young asked.

"What's the matter, look at your expression is wrong, the two of them released you pigeon again?"

When Kim Do-joon came out of the company alone, Kim so-young had already guessed that the three of them were chatting, and he didn't go up. Staying alone, standing at the door and chatting with Leessang's agent, Lee Yong-chul. Two or three hours later, Ji and Gary came out of the gate and drove away, leaving Kim Do-joon alone, and it was clear that he had been released again today.

"Yes, there is no righteousness at all, it was supposed to be good, get together in the evening, go for a drink together, and when my girlfriend called, I left everything behind, I was really speechless!"

Kim Do-jun shook his head and said with some dissatisfaction.

"It's not normal, when you first fell in love, you didn't do it, you had Taeyeon all in your heart, if Taeyeon called you and told you that there was no announcement in the afternoon, would you still sit in the studio with Gary and Ji to brag and chat? I guess you've already come up with an excuse to sneak away! ”

Kim so-young glanced at Kim Do-joon through the rearview mirror, smiled slightly, and opened his mouth to respond.

He knows Kim Do-jun too well, this kind of thing is normal for people, there is no way, and the plan can't catch up with the changes.

"Hey! Don't talk about it, what's the point of talking about this now, it's boring! ”

Kim Do-joon knows that he is at a loss, and he doesn't want to continue to dwell on this issue, if he were to be replaced, he might be faster than the two of them, this has already been an example, when he is in love with Taeyeon, even if he only has two or three hours of rest, the two of them have to take the opportunity to date.

On the banks of the Han River, on the square, on the streets of Seoul, and in Cheonggyecheon, they have all tried to date secretly, most of which are mainly at night, perhaps because of this, Kim Do-jun has a deeper understanding, and if the other half is an artist, this relationship is really difficult to maintain for a long time.

No matter how strong the relationship is, it can withstand the test of time and space, and no matter how hot the feelings are, they will slowly dissipate with the passage of time, and finally return to flatness.

Kim Do-jun looked at the scenery outside the window while holding his chin, neither of them spoke, and after a while, he suddenly heard the mobile phone ringing.

"Do-joon, it's your call!"

"Oh!"

Kim Do-jun picked up his phone and looked at it, and immediately muttered to himself.

"Why did she call, not in the United States? Could it be that something has happened again! ”

Pick up the phone, connect the phone, put it to your ear, and then open your mouth to greet him.

"Xianyi, why did you remember to call me, where are you?"

Kim Do-joon and the members of Wondergirls have a good relationship, especially the captain Seon-ye, not only because the two are fellow villagers in Gangwon-do, but from the time they first met, they felt that each other was very good and could get along as friends, but now it seems that Kim Do-joon is more like an older brother.

Anything, he will call Kim Do-joon, especially after writing "Nobody" for Wondergirls, and I don't know how many times I thanked him in private.

Wondergirls can have their current achievements, in addition to them and the company, Kim Do-jun has also made a lot of efforts, but Kim Do-jun does not agree with JYP's initiative, and sent them to the United States to develop the market when they were at their hottest.

The music market in the United States is not so easy, excluding music, culture, and racial differences, it is really not easy to really make Americans recognize.

After so many years of development, has Asian music conquered the American music market? Count on your fingers, it seems that there is none, if you talk about actors, there may be a few people who have established themselves in Hollywood, or become superstars admired by a generation.

Purely from the perspective of singers, there really is no one, rather than the company spending a lot of effort and so many manpower and material resources, it is better to focus on the Japanese market, and maybe bring a lot of income to JYP, which is what they are considering.

The professional life of an artist is too short, let alone a female idol artist? Earn more money now and pave the way for yourself in the future. When you get older. The popularity is gone. How can you continue to survive in the entertainment industry and really want to be a funny artist?

For female artists, the best choice is to marry a chaebol, a rich man, or a rich man, which is what Koreans call high society.

However, Kim Do-joon also understands that there are many things involved in this, and it is not for Park Jin-young to call the shots alone.

There were bursts of sobbing from the phone, and the voice was low. If it weren't for Kim Do-joon's sensitive ears, he wouldn't have been able to hear it at all.

Xianyi didn't speak, Kim Dojun blinked, seemed to understand something, restrained the smile on his face, and waited patiently.

After a few seconds, Kim Do-joon heard a sobbing in his nose and continued.

"How old are you, and you're the captain, and you're all sisters in front of you. You have to be a good example, how can you cry! ”

Who made you the captain. No matter how big the matter is, you have to carry it on your shoulders, Kim Do-joon's voice is very soft, at this time, comfort is one thing, encouragement is another.

I have to tell her that Xianyi is not only the oldest in the group, but also the identity of her sister, but also the captain of Wondergirls, when you cry, don't think that there is nothing to do, what will make the remaining members think, is it that the last five people hugged and cried together.

South Korea and the United States are more than 10,000 kilometers apart, and it takes more than ten hours to take a plane, and after being outside for such a long time, I miss my family, my friends, and everything in South Korea, but now I have no chance to come back because of the development of the American market.

"oppa, why do you keep talking about me, I'm alone now, they're not here, I'm going to the supermarket!"

Xianyi smiled suddenly, wiped the tears from the corners of his eyes, and immediately responded that he was calling to seek comfort, but as soon as he came up, he began to talk about himself.

"Oh! I didn't say you, I didn't stimulate you like this, can you speak? What's wrong, is it hard in the United States? ”

Kim Do-jun regretted it a little as soon as he finished speaking, isn't this nonsense! If you don't have to work hard, you can call back from the United States.

"Hmmm! There's nothing to do, but I have to practice in the United States, and I don't know where to go, and my English is not good, so I'm a little homesick! ”

Xianyi quickly controlled his emotions, and I have to say that as the captain of the group, his mental endurance is still relatively strong.

Although sometimes I can't hold back my tears, there is really no way, all the pressure and unhappiness are all accumulated together, and it becomes normal to vent through tears.

"It's been a long time since I've been back, has the company arranged it, is there any time to rest?"

"Not yet, I have already asked the agent, but he did not answer positively, saying that he still has to wait, and he needs to ask the company for instructions!"

Xianyi sighed, and responded leisurely, this kind of thing, who still doesn't understand, if you want to go back, it's really difficult, and the company's senior management won't allow it, giving up halfway is equivalent to failure.

Although there are Korean artists such as Rain, Boa, and Seven who have announced their entry into the United States, there are not many news of their success, and Wondergirls is ranked 76th on the Billboard list, which is already second to none.

The road to the United States was full of thorns, especially for singers from non-English-speaking countries.

It's not just the need to overcome cultural differences, but the language alone has already made many people retreat.

Experts have said it before.

"A singer who doesn't know English, no matter how well he sings, can't succeed in the United States!"

The essence of the company's training of singers is to make money, and entering the United States is to make more money.

Kim Do-joon instructed Kim so-young to collect information on this, which can be seen from the financial statements of S.M., JYP, and YG.

With the exception of Rain, the rest of the companies are loss-making, because Rain is not only singing, but also focusing on acting, participating in Hollywood film shooting, so the income expenditure is not so large.

Because of the cost of rooting, marketing, artist packaging, and language training, the investment in this part will be very large, such as BOA and SEVEN, these are typical examples, if you focus on the Korean and Japanese markets, the income you earn will be completely full.

BOA alone in Japan, a year's sales reached 100 billion won, and Wondergirls' sales in South Korea in 2008 also reached 30 billion won, but once they chose to enter the United States, they needed to completely interrupt their trips to South Korea and Japan, which was really a big loss for the brokerage company.

Not only is there no previous income, but a lot of money needs to be spent.

"So, how is it in the United States now, and are you still used to life?"

Kim Do-joon probably understands what is going on now, the standard tiger riding is difficult, Seon-mi has announced that he has withdrawn, the reason is for his studies, as for the specific reason, Kim Do-jun is not clear, if he is not mistaken, it may have something to do with Park Jae-beom.

There are rumors that Park Jae-bum and Seon-mi have been in love and have been photographed on the streets of the United States, but Kim Do-joon is not clear what the truth is.

In general, Wondergirls' life is not very good, 2pm because of Park Jae-beom's affairs, did not rest, but continued to carry out activities as a group of 6 people, after the promotion of an album, it stands to reason that there will be a certain period, so that the artist can take a break, relax for a while, and then continue the production of the next album.

But at present, the members of 2pm are really busy, and the members are either participating in variety shows or starring in TV series, and participating in the filming of various program advertising endorsements non-stop.

In Kim Do-joon's eyes, JYP must have had a lot of financial problems, otherwise he wouldn't have let 2PM work so hard and didn't even have time to rest.

According to the data released in the financial report, JYP America lost 4,08.33 million won, while the actual record sales were only 180.75 million won, a loss of nearly 40 times, which is not a small amount, and it is no wonder why the members of Wondergirls are under so much pressure.

The company has a large financial deficit, and in order to make up for the losses, it can only make money through other companies, and from this stage, 2pm is the company's most stable income object, and it is logical to squeeze them.

"Fortunately, there is no problem with food and accommodation, there are many Chinese restaurants and barbecue restaurants in the United States, and the living environment is very quiet, but there are too few friends, and no one speaks, and the English is not very good, and the communication is very difficult!"

Xianyi is very generous in front of Kim Do-jun, and there is nothing to shy away from saying anything.

"Hmmm! The time you go is too short, if you are like me, if you stay for many years, then you will get used to it, the language is very difficult, talk more, communicate more, don't be shy, don't feel ashamed because of your pronunciation, just know more friends! ”

Jin Daojun thought for a while, and then said, English is not something that can be learned quickly in a day or two, but there is a way that works, that is, to say more, try to integrate into the circle of Americans, you may feel that the progress is not very obvious in a day or two, and after a long time, you will naturally find that your speaking level will improve quickly.

"Yes oppa, I recently made a friend, a Korean Canadian, a missionary, very interesting, and very handsome!"

As soon as Xian Ye mentioned this topic, the whole person's mood became high, and even through the phone, Kim Do-jun could feel the smile on her face.

"Yo! Listening to you say that, the other party is very good? ”

"Yes, it's very caring, and I like small animals, and I have a common topic, I can speak Korean, and when I'm fine, you can chat and send text messages!"

After listening to this, Kim Do-jun showed a faint smile on his face, and did not continue the topic, the two of them may be in the bud of a relationship, and it is not easy to disturb him.

Maybe someone is by Xianyi's side, it is a very happy thing, relieving her pressure and making her more relaxed and comfortable.

Maybe after a while, I will be able to see the missionary that this ancestor is talking about.

I can only hope for the happiness of the first art, and when the years of suffering come to an end, happiness will naturally knock on the door. (To be continued......)
