Chapter XVIII

Leaving from Choi Zhen's house, Lee Jun-hee called Lee Sung-jin and made an appointment to go to Cheon Myung-hoon's house together.

Qian Mingxun's life is very frugal, but there is no ambiguity about the investment in work, where he lives now, half of the space is placed with recording equipment, although some of them are second-hand goods, but if it is a professional Cheng DΓΉ, it is no problem to be responsible for the album recording of some small agency singers.

If you still stay at home, you will inevitably be interrogated by Cui Zhenzhen about the original incident, since the matter has passed, a whole year has passed, even if it is healing, it is almost the same now, Li Junxi doesn't want to mention it again, and he is not happy.

Moreover, there are too many more important things than that now, first of all, the problem of return, and then the preparation of the new company, the establishment, and the future of NRG, although Li Junxi wants to be a hands-off shopkeeper, but how can it be so easy, this time, he really gambled all his might, if he loses, the result will be poor and white, and if he wants to start again, it is estimated that he will not even have a chance.

When Lee Jun-hee rushed to Cheon Myung-hoon's house, Lee Sung-jin and the others had already arrived, and just now on the phone, Lee Jun-hee told Lee Sung-jin about his future plans.

During this time, Li Chengzhen has been busy preparing for the company's affairs, various procedures, and decoration of rented office buildings, and at the same time to participate in the recording of some programs, although those programs were signed with MF companies, but NRG's debut for seven years is not in vain, although Li Chengzhen They do not have such a unique advantage as Li Junxi, but they also have their own connections, and it is not a difficult thing to revise the contract with the TV station in the name of a person, it is nothing more than to make some concessions in interests.

Now the most important thing is how to ensure the exposure of NRG, some losses in interests are secondary, besides, there is no exploitation of MF companies now, that is, the loss of some interests, which is more than what was earned at the beginning.

The busiest NRG right now are Lee Sung-jin and Cheon Myung-hoon, one is a regular guest on SBS's recently launched show, and the other has the opportunity to perform on variety shows on three major TV stations.

It was Moon Chengxun who opened the door for Li Junxi, and when he saw Qian Mingxun, the other party was still sleepy-eyed, apparently he had just returned home from the filming of the show, and now that the contract with the MF company has been terminated, the nanny car is naturally gone, and during this time, Qian Mingxun went to catch the notice by bus.

As the originator of the Korean Wave, it is really unique to mix to the point of NRG, Li Chengzhen's situation is a little better, and he bought a car with the first money he earned, but after using it for so many years, his classic car is really a little out of his hands.

"Jun-hee! You didn't make it clear on the phone just now, what kind of music thing? Doesn't the agreement with MF stipulate that we can't make music until the end of this year? ”

Li Chengzhen is also tired, Li Chengzhen has no time to rest at all recently, either recording programs on TV stations, or staring at the decoration of the self-rented office building, and he can't wait to split himself and use it.

Li Junxi handed the dinner he bought on the road to Lu Yumin, who had been around him for a long time, and said, "Brother! Our agreement with MF just says that you can't make physical music, it's not that you can't make music! ”

Seeing that the members were all looking at him with confused eyes, Lee Jun-hee knew that they were confused by the authorities, and it was no wonder that they were not like themselves, they had already made up their minds to terminate the contract with MF, and they had already thought of all possible situations: "You all think about it, when we had a hairstyle series, how many sales were there, and how many sales were sold in the sixth series released this year!?" ”

Qian Mingxun listened to it and scratched his hair in embarrassment: "That ~~~~~~~~ I know the quality of the six episodes~~~~~~~~"

Qian Myung-hoon couldn't go on halfway through speaking, he was the sixth producer of the nrg, the title song, and nearly half of the songs in the album were created by him.

Lee Jun-hee knew that Cheon Myung-hoon had misunderstood, and said: "I don't mean that the quality of the album has declined, this question, we'll talk about it later, I mean, it's not just NRG now, many artists in the music industry, even if it's a myth, GOD Their album sales are also declining, the main reason is the Internet, people only need to spend a few hundred won to download their favorite songs from the Internet, why spend tens of thousands of won to buy physical albums!" ”

When Li Chengzhen heard this, his eyes lit up: "Junxi! You mean that we don't need to release a physical album, we can also release new songs in the form of online music sources? ”

Lee Sung-jin has a very smart mind, which is why everyone is relieved to let him be the president of the new company.

Qian Mingxun was also excited, he was a real musician in the NRG group, all he was interested in was music, and now in order to survive, he had to play the clown in the show, and he had to pretend that he couldn't sing, he couldn't dance, how aggrieved he was, only he knew that because of the agreement with MF, he couldn't make music for more than half a year, and he was sad for a long time, the reason why he agreed with everyone's idea, in addition to NRG, was to hope that after leaving MF, I can make the music I like, and when I am in the MF, whether I make music or not, and what type of music I do, I have to listen to the company's arrangement.

"Jun-hee! If you do that, won't you be in trouble!? ”

Lee Jun-hee smiled and said, "Don't worry! Brother Myeongxun! Those two people didn't expect this step at the beginning, and when the time comes, they can't say that we violated the agreement, even if they want to unite some people to block us, as long as we can make music that people like, we are not afraid! ”

Hearing Lee Jun-hee say this, Cheon Myung-hoon, who originally had some worries in his heart, also let go, he has always wanted to be a real musician, and now the opportunity is in front of him, and he can't care about anything else.

"But in such a short period of time, how can we have good works!" Lee Sung-jin voiced his concerns, "Moreover, if the song is not popular, will it have the opposite effect?" ”

After the release of the sixth album before, the tepid reaction of fans made everyone in the NRG a little discouraged, and judging from the current market, if they still hold on to the old electronic dance music, it is obvious that they will not be able to please the more and more discerning fans.

After the previous two years of indifference, the current Korean music industry has suddenly become hot again, and major brokerage companies are constantly launching newcomers, if the next plan cannot be successful, I am afraid that NRG will really come to an end, and then I am afraid that there will only be one name left, proving that they have ever existed.

As the pioneer of the Korean Wave, although the NRG was a smash hit, but speaking of which, they were really born at the wrong time, before them had HOT to steal most of the market, and when NRG just became popular, Crystal Boy, Mythology, GOD and other combinations have risen, NRG is facing so many strong opponents, and it can only always be in such an embarrassing position between the first line and the second line.

Now HOT and Crystal Boy have disbanded, but they have left an eternal classic image, and the combination of Myth and God is actively seeking change, with the support of a strong brokerage company behind them, and their transformation is also very successful.

If the NRG wants to continue to survive, it must also make changes, but this kind of thing is easy to say, but it is difficult to really sit up, and if you change the music style rashly, will the fans accept it at that time? That's a big problem.

The NRG was already struggling, and if the decision was wrong, the consequences would be absolutely catastrophic.

Lee Sung-jin and they didn't speak, and Lee Jun-hee didn't know what to say to the members, but he had been thinking about this issue during his year in Dokdo, and now that pure electronic dance music is no longer very attractive to the new generation of fans, and if it is pure music, the current popularity of NRG is not enough to support this project.

At present, the Korean music industry is different from the K-pop style of other countries, dance music is only a part, and this part of the market, now surrounded by strong enemies, NRG has no advantage at all, if you want to fight a bloody way, you must be maverick, and you must make music that can move people's hearts.

In the early days of K-pop formation, songs were mostly fanatical and flashy, expressing the rebellious psychology of young people, and also representing the voices of many young people.

However, with the increasing number of dance music combinations, it is difficult to survive in the highly competitive Korean song industry if there are no distinctive characteristics, and later due to the wide spread of Korean TV dramas, the theme songs or interludes in Korean dramas are also popular, most of which are songs with the theme of beautiful love, Korean pop music has gradually tended to be soft and lyrical, plus Korean has a lot of air sounds in pronunciation, and has soft elements in the feeling of sound, so its unique lyrical components have formed the main style of K-pop today.

Lee Jun-hee's plan this time is to win with music and singing skills, abandon the dance music that NRG is good at in the past, take the lyrical route instead, and use the stories contained in the songs to impress the audience.

"Brother! This is a song I recently made, you guys listen to it! ”

All the equipment here is professional, which is naturally very different from Lee Jun-hee's grass platform team with a computer, an electronic keyboard, a guitar, and centralized program software.

Lee Jun Hee's work!

Now everyone is interested, Lee Jun-hee is the same as Cheon Myung-hoon, they are the creative soul of NRG, and the second and third series have Lee Jun-hee's works, and the market response is very good.

Li Junxi plugged in the USB flash drive, found one of the Wen jiΓ n clips, opened it, and soon the prelude sounded, a very simple guitar performance, without much superb skill, but it immediately grasped everyone's hearts.
