Chapter 521: Teachings Before Debut

At the end of 2006 in the lunar calendar and the beginning of 2007 in the Gregorian calendar, it was extremely busy for Li Junxi, every day when he opened his eyes, the first thing he had to face was the countless announcements, for those artists who are still struggling at the bottom of the entertainment industry, busy work is undoubtedly something worth exciting, because only when there is more work can they reflect their value in the entertainment industry.

But for Lee Jun-hee, the fatigue is far greater than enjoyment, after all, for artists in his status, there is no need for a lot of work and a lot of exposure to maintain their popularity.

It's a pity that Lee Jun-hee has no way to get rid of this busy mode, because at this stage, NRG still needs him to support a piece of the Korean market.

At present, Lee Sung-jin, Cheon Myung-hoon, and Lu Yumin are still serving in the military, Moon Chengxun Shenlong is not the end, traveling around, looking for inspiration for creation, Yoon Eun-hye is conquering the city in the TV drama market, but the production cycle of the TV series is too long, and there is no way to ensure sufficient exposure, although Kim Qizhi and Lee Ji-jin signed a contract with NRG company, one is developing in the fashion industry, and the other is charging on campus, and they can't be counted on at present, only one Lee Jun-hee is left, no matter how hard he works, he can only hold on.

Moreover, the Korean audience does not seem to be bored with Lee Jun-hee's face, although the TV has been turned on, he can always be seen on the TV screen, but miraculously it does not cause aesthetic fatigue, and Lee Jun-hee's popularity is still the same.

The year-end concert of "Infinite Challenge" to give back to the audience is over, and the partnership of Lee Jun Hee and Choi Real has been a great success, although the show has not yet been broadcast, but judging from the reaction of the live audience, their combination is undoubtedly a success.

After finishing the work of "Infinite Challenge", I followed closely. Lee Jun Hee has to be busy running NRG's family concert again, and at the same time, he has to prepare for the upcoming Daejong Awards, Blue Dragon Awards, this time, Lee Jun Hee was nominated for Best Actor again, and lost to Xue Kyung-gu last time. This time, Lee Jun-hee is aiming to be crowned.

The Korean entertainment industry, which has been lively for a year, ushered in a small high at the end of the Lunar New Year. tide, and the new era of girl groups in the Korean music industry, which Lee Jun-hee had predicted before, seems to be about to begin.

After the success of Princess, major agencies are busy preparing their own girl groups, and Super Girl, temporarily named by S.M, is in the final stage of preparation. is expected to debut in the middle of the year, and although DSP's girl group has not yet debuted, it has already started the first wave of publicity work, and the strength of the four members has also received a lot of attention.

In this environment, JYP's girl group WonderGirls has completed the final preparations before their debut.

Lee Jun-hee's songs for WonderGirls were not included in the debut mini-album, and Lee Jun-hee could guess Park Jin-young's thoughts, which was nothing more than hoping to let WonderGirls accumulate popularity first. After all, like Princess. It is not easy to replicate the things that caused a sensation as soon as they debuted, so WonderGirls' debut plan is still being prepared according to the established plan, and the song created by Lee Jun-hee was regarded by Park Jin-young. The secret weapon that officially pushes WonderGirls to the top.

Just the night before WonderGirls' debut, Lee Jun-hee received an invitation from Park Jin-young to go to JYP Company, and Park Jin-young's thoughts, Lee Jun-hee knew very well. It is nothing more than hoping to use his popularity to promote WonderGirls.

In this regard, Lee Jun-hee has no opinion, anyway, Princess's main direction in the next year is still the American market, and the girl group market in the Korean music industry is basically in a vacuum.

Lee Jun-hee didn't want the girl group launched by S.M to dominate the market, so he naturally spared no effort to help JYP, hoping to find an opponent for the girl group that S.M was preparing in the future.

In the practice room of JYP company, the five members of WonderGirls stood side by side, their delicate faces full of excitement, after all the hard work for so many years, and now they can finally debut, only they know how difficult this opportunity is.

"Jun-hee! For these children, you have also worked hard, tomorrow is their debut stage, whether as a teacher or as a senior, talk to them and encourage! ”

Park Zhenying smiled very sincerely, but Lee Jun-hee had already guessed his thoughts, so he didn't think anything about it, and said with a smile: "Brother Zhenying! You're the president of JYP, shouldn't you be the one to lecture at this time? ”

Park Jin-young's monkey face was wrinkled with laughter: "I should have said it, I said it a long time ago, Jun-hee!" Don't shirk it, the kids are still waiting. ”

Seeing that he couldn't hide, Li Junxi thought for a while, and said to the five girls who were full of anticipation: "I don't know what to say to you, I'm not good at this kind of thing, but since your president has spoken, I'll say something off-topic to you!" ”

Off topic?

All Lee Jun Hee can say is to digress, the strength of WonderGirls, after this period of contact, Lee Jun Hee can be said to know very well.

The singing skills and dancing strength of the five members are all first-class, which makes Li Junxi can't help but feel a little hot, especially the captain Min Xianyi, who has come to JYP company since she was a child to receive training, and after years of study, her quality in all aspects is very high, especially her singing skills, compared with Cui Zhina, she is not equal.

There is also Kim Hyun-ah, Lee Jun-hee can't understand why Kim Hyun-ah is so low in the group of WonderGirls, because according to her dancing strength, Kim Hyun-ah is the most outstanding one.

Of course, this is a problem that Park Jin-young should consider, Lee Jun-hee doesn't want to talk much, since Park Jin-young has to let him say it, Lee Jun-hee can only say something off-topic.

"I've seen everyone's efforts during this time, in fact, if you follow my thoughts, you would have the ability to make your debut, don't be complacent. Don't feel aggrieved, though, Brother Zhenying didn't arrange for your debut earlier, I think it's a good thing for you! ”

Meddlesome?

The five girls were a little puzzled and looked at Li Junxi blankly.

Lee Jun-hee smiled. He continued: "Sometimes, whether an IDOL can succeed or not, its own strength, and the quality of the songs, although they are all important, but more importantly, the timing, now is just the right time, according to my speculation." In the future, the Korean music industry girl group will usher in a new glorious period, and you are making your debut at this time, so to speak, it is a good time to catch up! ”

Park Jin-young was a little nervous when he first heard Lee Jun-hee tell WonderGirls that he suppressed WonderGirls and didn't let the girls debut, and he gave Lee Jun-hee a look, but after listening to the latter words. He couldn't help but laugh too.

That's right! It's an opportunity!

If WonderGirls debuts early, at that time. It was when many boy groups in South Korea were becoming popular, and WonderGirls bumped into it head-on, and it was definitely not pleasing to you.

However, this is no longer the case, Princess has swept the major awards ceremonies in the Korean song category, and the era of girl groups has been reopened. Although Park Jin-young is not as sure as Lee Jun-hee, after all, after so many years in the music industry, Park Jin-young can still almost see some clues, so he will seek cooperation with Lee Jun-hee at any cost, focusing on building WonderGirls.

"Opportunity. It has been placed in front of you, although in the future, during your IDOL activities, the company's help is indispensable, but more importantly, it is still necessary to rely on your own efforts, you are enjoying the stage, applause, fans at the same time, to let the company see the benefits, isn't there such a sentence? There is no love in the world for no reason, and I don't think Brother Zhenying will choose to let you debut just because he appreciates your strength. ”

Lee Jun-hee's big truth, Park Jin-young is a little embarrassed, he is like this, he has obviously become a businessman, but he just puts on the posture that I am an artist, and always pretends to be tall.

Lee Jun-hee then said: "The company provides you with the opportunity, whether you can grasp it and make WonderGirls successful, this is up to you, there is only so much I can say to you, before Princess's debut, I also said the same thing to them, the company's resources, you have to fight for it yourself!" ”

After Li Junxi finished speaking, the girls all fell into deep thought, and for a long time, Min Xianyi led her members and bowed deeply to Li Junxi: "Thank you very much for the guidance of our seniors, we will remember it firmly!" ”

What Lee Jun-hee said may be a little difficult for ordinary children to understand, but the members of WonderGirls are different, although they are not very old, but the setbacks in life have made them far more mature than their peers.

Min Xianyi, the captain of WonderGirls, came to JYP company through the selection in 2001, but the road to chasing her dreams was not smooth, and the pain and torture in life were always with her, her mother died early, her father was sick, and Min Xianyi, who lived with her grandmother since she was a child, insisted on training for seven years, and finally survived her debut, but not long ago, her beloved grandfather went to heaven before her debut, and failed to see her granddaughter's debut and success.

An Zhaoxi, in 2004, came to JYP as a trainee, her life experience was also not smooth, her parents divorced when she was in the fourth grade, and the garment factory run by her family was also forced to close down, forced to make a living, An Zhaoxi's father relied on the meager income earned by sending couriers to others to support her and her sister, and they all said that the children of poor families were in charge of the family early, and this opportunity to debut was also regarded by An Zhaoxi as the best opportunity to change the fate of himself and his family.

There is also Li Xuanmei, when she was 13 years old, her father died, she lived in the countryside with her mother and younger brother, although she was a trainee of JYP company, but because she lived far away from JYP company, she often couldn't go to Seoul to practice, and later her mother remarried, and Xuanmei and her two younger brothers also moved to her stepfather's household registration, and her surname was changed from the original unique Xuan surname to her stepfather's Li surname.

Kim Hyun-ah, she is a relatively happy family among the members of WonderGirls, after all, she has both parents, and she is healthy, and her relationship is very good, and she seems to be really happy, but she wants to become an IDOL. But it was early to her father's strong opposition, and for this reason, the relationship between the father and daughter was very stiff, and she also hoped to make a successful debut, and then go to prove to her father that I could do it one by one!

Finally, there is Park Yu-eun, who was the last to join JYP. After practicing in the company for two months, he was selected into the list of members of WonderGirls, and as a newcomer, Park Yu-eun's pressure can be imagined.

It is precisely because of the torture in life that these five girls are psychologically mature than their peers, and they are full of desire for success.

Lee Jun-hee then gave WonderGirls a few more words of encouragement and left the practice room, and Park Jin-young told the girls to rest today and enjoy their last day as ordinary people. hurriedly went out to catch up with Lee Jun-hee.

Lee Jun-hee looked at Park Jin-young and said with a smile, "What's wrong?" Is my brother here to ask about the sin? ”

Park Jin-young smiled helplessly and said, "Jun-hee! Am I in your heart, just what a stingy image? ”

Lee Jun-hee shrugged his shoulders and didn't speak.

Park Zhenying suddenly became even more helpless, and said: "Although I was indeed a little uncomfortable at first with what you just said, but. I must also admit that you are quite right. I hope those children will understand! ”

Lee Jun-hee said: "I think they can understand, Brother Jinyoung! They're from your company, don't you know them as well as I do? With Min Xianyi here, the other members will definitely figure it out. ”

Park Zhenying nodded, he was 100% relieved to Min Xianyi. After all, when Min Xianyi was in elementary school, he went to JYP Company, and after so many years, Park Zhenying's attention to Min Xianyi was clearly seen by the people of JYP. This is something that Lee Jun-hee can see.

"Jun-hee!" Park Jin-young walked up to him and said, "Actually, I chased after me because I wanted to ask you for something." ”

Something else to ask for?

Li Junxi's heart immediately sounded the alarm, during this time, he was often asked by others, making the already countless itinerary list even more burdensome.

However, Li Junxi was not easy to refuse in person, and said, "Brother Zhenying! It's too polite, our relationship, do we still need to please? As long as I can do it, I will never refuse! ”

Of course, if Park Jin-young still hopes that Lee Jun-hee can write another song, it needs to be decided according to the market price.

Moreover, Lee Jun-hee didn't have the idea of supporting WonderGirls, this time he agreed to write a song for WonderGirls, in addition to the conditions offered by JYP that are really difficult to refuse, the more important thing is to find a rival for the girl group that S.M company is preparing, after all, S.M's ability to make an artist popular is too terrifying.

In the case that NRG's second girl group is not fully ready and cannot participate in the market competition, it is the best choice for WonderGirls to fight against S.M's girl group.

But if you continue to help WonderGirls write songs, it won't be in the interest of NRG.

After all, everyone in the music industry now knows that Lee Jun-hee is a first-class genius creator, and if he can get one of his songs, he can basically equate it with popularity.

Almost every day, NRG receives letters asking for songs, but so far, Lee Jun-hee has only written two songs for singers from other companies, one of which is "Happy Sickness" sung by Kim Jong Kook, and then WonderGirls.

Apart from them, no one has ever been able to get a song from Lee Jun Hee.

Lee Jun-hee has always been very confident in his works.

Park Jin-young naturally had this idea, but he knew better that it was a bit unrealistic to want Lee Jun-hee to continue writing songs for WonderGirls, unless JYP could come up with a sincere offer that Lee Jun-hee couldn't refuse, but then it was not in the interests of JYP, after all, JYP couldn't lose money every time.

At the same time, Park Jin-young is also very confident that as long as the songs provided by Lee Jun-hee can make WonderGirls popular in South Korea and promote WonderGirls' debut in the United States, the next thing, since Lee Jun-hee can make Princess successful in the United States, he Park Jin-young can still make WonderGirls stand in the United States.

"That's right! Tomorrow is the debut stage of WonderGirls, it's Mnet's MCD, Jun-hee! If you have time, I'd like you to go too, well~~~~~~~ give them a boost! ”

The first step of a newcomer is always very difficult, and it is not easy to step out in order to cross the hurdle of trainees and artists.

Of course, Park Jin-young can of course accompany WonderGirls to participate in the show in person, but he is the president of the three major Korean brokerage companies, and if he comes forward, although many people will not embarrass WonderGirls when they look at his face, it will give people an uncomfortable feeling no matter what.

Lee Jun-hee is different, although Lee Jun-hee is also the big .BOSS of NRG company, but WonderGirls is not an artist of NRG company, Lee Jun-hee came forward, and it can be regarded as a senior to escort the juniors.

Park Jin-young was actually playing with this idea, and Lee Jun-hee couldn't help but laugh when he thought about it. (To be continued.) )
