Chapter 433: Not God
In fact, Hee Sung didn't take a nap as the girls imagined, although this time was the time for most people to take a nap.
Since December last year, napping has been a luxury for him, especially in recent times, and his daily sleep is not guaranteed, let alone napping.
He's writing songs.
A few days ago, Hee Sung handed over the recorded English songs to Warner Records for their next planning.
Warner praised Hee Sung's three new English songs, believing that they were all high-quality songs, not inferior to the masterpieces of those king-level singers, but they also made different sounds.
Even if you count "Arson and Rain" and "Baby", there are only five songs.
For a concert, especially if it's going to be held at a place like Madison Square Garden, singing only five songs on stage is simply outrageous and "unforgivably absurd."
In fact, with Hee-sung's fame, it is not enough to hold a concert in such a place now.
It's not that he can't afford the venue fee, but he can't sell tickets.
Many of the biggest names in the U.S. and other countries have taken pride in their solo concerts at Madison Square Garden, as well as some of the world's biggest stars.
In 1995, Hong Kong singer Jacky Cheung used Madison Square Garden as the venue for two large-scale concerts in the New York leg of his world tour, which was the first large-scale performance of an Asian singer in Madison Square Garden, and was widely reported by the New York Times and other important local media in New York at that time, causing a lot of repercussions.
Unfortunately, he failed to sell out 19,763 tickets for both of his concerts.
Asian-American singers are excluded from the European and American music scene.
And Xicheng, not to mention, compared with Jacky Cheung, both in terms of strength and global influence, is more than a grade behind.
But Warner Records was ambitious, and they analyzed Hee-sung's songs and didn't think Hee-sung didn't have a chance.
Especially after getting Hee Sung's three new songs. They are even more determined to let Hee Sung hold a concert at Madison Square Garden.
At that time, there will be quite a few New York media outlets to build momentum for Hee Sung, all of whom are Warner's connections.
When a record boss like Warner wants to make a newcomer popular, as long as the newcomer has the strength to be praised, there is almost no possibility of failure.
But Xicheng still doesn't know why Warner spares no effort to praise himself.
Last year's single EP sold 1.4 million copies worldwide, which is a very good result in order to win tens of thousands of foreign brain-dead Loli fans.
However, compared with Warner's big names, this result is at best good.
Now, the most important thing is that Warner is not satisfied with only three songs.
They asked Hee Sung to come up with two more English songs at least a month.
So, Hee Sung had to find time to study the new song. As for napping, it's no longer extravagant.
The pen in his hand slid unconsciously on the paper, and he always felt as if something was about to be touched, but he would be confused for a while.
It's only a thin line, but it's like the end of the world.
In fact, he didn't plan to use otaku memories originally, but he was really creating with his own inspiration, but unfortunately what he created didn't satisfy him. At least in a place like Madison Square Garden, you can't really get on the table.
However, he felt that the song was still unfinished, and subconsciously thought that it only needed to be improved a little. Even if it doesn't touch the memory of otaku, this song will at least go up a big notch.
......The gentle knock on the door, like a pebble thrown into the lake, interrupted his thoughts.
Hee Sung sighed helplessly. Put away what you have in hand.
I don't know who it is.
Fortunately, he didn't have the habit of getting angry, and calmly responded: "Please come in." ”
"Hello seniors, we are WonderGirls!" The five girls bowed neatly in greeting.
It turns out that this is the legendary WonderGirls.
It's no wonder that Hee Sung uses the word legend to describe it. For that otaku, this is an indispensable milestone in the era of the girl group, and it deserves to be described by a legend.
It's just that they don't have the same reputation as later generations, at most they just carry the name of JYP to promote the girl group, which may be a bit deterrent to ordinary singers, but successful singers like Xicheng can be completely ignored.
The otaku is a girl group control, and Hee Sung has been somewhat affected.
He would be able to recognize these people before they had each introduced themselves.
This is Min Xianyi, it is really pitiful, her mother died when she was young, and she was raised by her grandparents since she was a child. insisted on training for 5 years, and finally made her official debut, but unfortunately her grandfather passed away before he could see her succeed as a singer.
This girl who looks like a white-skinned steamed bun must be An Zhaoxi, who comes from a single-parent family, and it is also very hard.
This beautiful looking is Xuanmei, whose father died when she was a child.
Together, we grieve the children.
This is Park Yu-eun, who is said to have a very good academic performance and has always been in the top ten in school, and her parents are more opposed to her entering the entertainment industry, thinking that she can be admitted to a good university.
In the end, the girl who looked at herself with a smile and almost drooled was undoubtedly Kim Hyun-ah.
"I'm really sorry, did you disturb the rest of the seniors," Min Xianyi is the captain, on the surface, she seems to be a gentle woman like water, with a hint of weakness, which makes people can't help but feel good.
"It's okay, I didn't take a nap, I'm bored, and you just happened to come in," Hee Sung is very talkative, and he is an ordinary singer, even if he doesn't show his impatience, he won't deliberately find a reason to dispel the other party's apologies.
"I'll just say, OPPA won't mind, OPPA is a good person," has no intention of trusting, this may be Hee-sung's fanatical fan - Kim Hyun-ah-san.
That's right, Kim Hyun-ah is indeed a fan.
It's also kind of strange to say.
At first, Kim Hyun-ah didn't appreciate Hee-sung, and young children were always easily misled by public opinion.
When the media was overwhelmingly blackened, they called him arrogant, impolite, and lazy......
At that time, Kim Hyun-ah even thought that he was a vase that looked bright on the outside. Neri is a bastard after all, but he climbed to S&M by relying on his family background, and he made a successful debut in the dark.
However, there will always be a day when the truth is revealed, and I don't know when she was shocked to find that she was in a daze at this bastard's MV.
By the time Hee-sung's "Arson" reached the top 15 on the billboard, the mainstream South Korean media followed the propaganda format and began to correct the grievances suffered by Hee-sung, and a large number of positive reports about him appeared.
Arrogance was refuted. The entry and exit are all second-hand business vehicles, and the clothes are not the same every other day like other artists, Xicheng has a habit of cleanliness, and never wears the clothes given by the sponsors, he wears them back and forth over and over again, and the price is not too expensive, and the rumors of arrogance are self-defeating.
As for being rude, Yoo Jae-seok, Lee Hyo-ri, Baek Ji-young, Kim Jong-kook, Sung Shi-kyung, and several members of the myth. They have a very good relationship with Xicheng, these people vigorously deny that Xicheng is rude when they mention Xicheng, and the words of the top singers in the music industry are undoubtedly more convincing.
And laziness. This doesn't need to be proved at all, an album created independently by himself a year, and several film and television works have come out in just two years after debut, for an artist. This is not considered diligence, how else can it be considered diligence.
What's more, many of Xicheng's activities are earned. All of them are used for public welfare, which is also obvious to all.
Therefore, Kim Hyun-ah began to secretly fan Hee-sung, until she was discovered, and simply regarded herself as a crazy fan of Hee-sung.
Hee-sung didn't know her psychological journey, but he felt that this girl's vision was a bit unbearable, giving him the illusion that he might be devoured.
"I want to congratulate you on your final debut, I hope you are on fire," Hee Sung smiled gently, and he was indeed a qualified senior.
Although there are two girls here who are a few months older than him, according to the Korean algorithm, he is one year older than him, but he debuted two years earlier is indeed a senior, and he has no intention of challenging the tradition to call his sister.
"Thank you, senior," Min Xianyi smiled gratefully, "Dahuo doesn't dare to have extravagant hopes, just hope to be able to stand still." ”
"Oppa, do you think we can really be popular," Kim Hyun-ah looked up at Hee-sung with a look of anticipation, and it seemed very important to her to be affirmed by the people she cared about.
Hee-sung sighed in his heart, he suddenly didn't want to deceive this girl.
It's going to be hot, WonderGirls is going to be hot, you're going to be hot, but you're not on fire because of WonderGirls, and WonderGirls aren't dim because you're gone.
According to the official account, due to chronic gastroenteritis and dizziness and other medical problems, as well as her parents' concerns about her physical condition, Kim Hyun-ah quit WonderGirls in July 2007.
After that, it was silent for almost two years.
"No matter what," Hee Sung pondered the words, looked into Kim Hyun-ah's eyes and said seriously: "No matter whether you succeed or fail, or what difficulties arise on the way forward, as long as you have a heart that never gives up, you will be able to get what you want one day." ”
What he said was a little profound, and several girls were a little ignorant when they heard it, but because he said it specifically to herself, Kim Hyun-ah nodded happily, "Well, oppa, don't worry, we will definitely work hard, and we will catch up with oppa soon." ”
"I'm looking forward to ......" Hee Sung looked at her shining eyes, and his heart softened slightly.
It is not easy for girls to survive in this entertainment industry.
If he cares more about this girl, if he asks a famous doctor to take care of her, if he expresses his attitude towards this girl in public, then will she not be removed from the group?
These things are actually not troublesome to do, especially to express their opinions on Kim Hyun-ah, which is even more difficult.
According to his popularity, those who are favored by him will always receive more attention, even Park Zhenying, who must attach great importance to it.
Even, he can make some deals with Park Jin-young and use favors to influence his decision-making.
However, Hee-sung always knows that he is not a savior, nor is he God.
This is completely irrational behavior.
If God wants to make a man crazy, he must first take away his reason, which is a quote from Gogol's play "The Minister", which is derived from the Bible, and can be found lightly throughout the entire book of the New Testament. When God wants to abandon a spokesman, he will make him feel that he can dominate the enemy, and then he will take the opportunity to deliver him to the enemy.
And Hee Sung is on the verge of danger.
Saving Kim Hyun Ah, it sounds a little funny, does Kim Hyun Ah need him to save him?
After quitting WonderGirls, Kim Hyun-ah accumulated a lot of money, debuted with 4minute two years later, and successfully solo, gradually becoming a star who is not inferior to WonderGirls.
Even the song "Troublemaker" on Hee-sung's album was plagiarized from them.
Hee Sung ...... With what qualifications to change the fate of others.
"We would like to ask our seniors to give us a guide in our dance. I don't know if the seniors are free, "After chatting for a while, seeing that Xicheng was more approachable than expected, Min Xianyi mustered up the courage to make a request.
At this concert, after singing a song, they will collaborate with Hee Sung in the form of a backup dance.
"Oh, I really want to see it," Hee-sung stood up with interest, "why don't we go to the stage and rehearse together." Let me see the strength of your choreographers. ”
This "baby" is not a dance music with a strong rhythm, so the collocation is relatively casual, and JYP has a deep foundation and naturally has no choreographer who can handle it.
So, they did the choreography themselves.
The choreography was done from yesterday afternoon. The girls had been practicing dance all morning.
According to Park Jin-young, the choreography this time is very good, and Hee-sung's "Baby" has never had an overly eye-catching backup dance version. If they can succeed this time, these girls will naturally be able to follow the limelight of "Baby".
"Senior, you look here. Let's just play the recording and dance, "It's already rare to be able to pull Xicheng over, Min Xianyi doesn't dare to bother Xicheng to dance with them."
I heard that this senior, who is younger than himself, is lazy......
"What's that," Hee-sung smiled, taking off his black coat and preparing to rehearse with them.
Kim Hyun-ah was very enthusiastic to come over and take Hee-sung's coat and send it over to hang it up in person.
I don't know if it's okay to embezzle this coat and buy a new one for oppa, this girl thought strangely.
Holding Hee-sung's coat, the girl secretly put her face on it and felt the residual temperature.
It's really warm......
JYP may have really worked hard this time, Hee-sung rehearsed with them, and immediately felt amazing.
is worthy of being a veteran agency in the Korean music industry, from the time he agreed to participate in this concert and agreed to let WonderGirls dance, in just a few days, the choreographer was able to come up with such high-quality dance moves, not convinced.
Hee Sung also felt a sense of urgency in his heart.
It is necessary to improve HS's own team, and although S&M's resources can be used as much as possible, it is not their own business after all, and S&M's choreographers will inevitably have perfunctory times.
Otherwise, the choreography of "baby" would not be so bad as JYP's choreographer.
After rehearsing for a while, Xu Renying, Zhang Nara, and SS501 and others also rushed over one after another.
There is a great god like Hee Cheng, and there are almost no people here who are qualified to take Qiao.
Xu Renying is considered a senior, Hee-sung greeted him very politely, and the two chatted about Hee-sung's concert, and she praised some of Hee-sung's songs, and there was no predecessor at all.
And Zhang Nara is a little different from her, this woman is also quite enthusiastic, but the focus of her topic is different from Xu Renying.
talked about some things in the music industry, and soon transferred to the entertainment industry.
She said very enthusiastically that she hoped to cooperate with Xicheng in movies or TV series, and her words were quite friendly, but with some seniors' self-restraint.
Hee-sung doesn't have much affection for her.
But I can't say what went wrong, so in the end it has to be attributed to the otaku.
As a Chinese, otaku obviously don't treat Zhang Nara very well.
Around 09 years, it was revealed that Korean star Zhang Nara exploded on a famous talk show that "every time I am nervous about making zuò, I will go to China to perform".
Some people believe that her remarks are obviously discriminating against the Chinese market and hurting the feelings of the Chinese people.
Some people also say that now is a commodity society, and artists perform to make money, and I believe that no foreign artist comes to China not to make money. Korean celebrities come the same, what's there to object to?
Some people also pointed out that Zhang Nara should not have come to China because she had no money, she even settled down in Beijing, participated in many events of the Beijing Olympics, and also loved charity in China, better than some local artists.
Even if she really said that, it shows that this woman is a relatively straightforward and unpretentious person.
The otaku is more extreme, although he thinks that it doesn't matter what Zhang Nara says, and it has nothing to do with him, but he will never see this woman again.
I don't hate it, but I never like it again.
And Hee Sung is obviously in this state, he doesn't hate each other, he doesn't like it, and he has no desire to cooperate.
Zhang Nara chatted with Xicheng for a while, and when she saw that he was not interested, she could only give up.
Several people from SS501 also came to say hello in a proper manner, in fact, they all debuted in the same year, and Hee Sung was younger than them, but because of their popularity, these boys could only bow their arrogant heads.
Hee-sung didn't hold his own identity, he was also very standard in return, and even chatted with Kim Hyun for a while.
SS501 learned to be obedient this time, knowing that Hee-sung would release an album in March and April, so they postponed the album plan to the second half of the year.
If you can't provoke it, can you still hide it?
When everyone was rehearsing, it was almost time for the concert to start, and Hee-sung sat in the lounge and let the makeup artist fiddle with it.
WonderGirls took the stage first with "Irony," a catchy hip-hop staple from their new mini-album.
The content of this song is not to believe in the boyfriend who pretends to be innocent, the MV is very interesting, as far as Hee Sung knows, the members of the S&M new girl group have teamed up to study, and they are very envious of these peers who have debuted.
Subsequently, Hee Sung came to the stage to sing "baby", and several girls from WonderGirls helped him dance, setting off the first climax of the concert.
Originally, everyone didn't believe that such a small concert could invite a super popular singer like Hee-sung, but they didn't expect it to be real.
As a few girls who accompany the dance, some are lively and cute, some are playful and sexy, each with their own characteristics, and their dance and song are very compatible, which makes people who are used to listening to Xicheng's song feel refreshing.
The purpose of JYP has been achieved, and CJ's promise to Hee-sung will be carried out willingly.
Hee Sung's second song is "There Is No Such a Person" in the second album, but the finale song sings a song that no one has ever heard - "Only Pain Remains", which is very surprising.
Many people self-righteously believe that such a beautiful song must be the title song of Xicheng's new album.
It's a pity that when Hee Sung was asked about this question during the final chorus, he directly denied this statement.
Isn't this the main song yet?
Unexpected at the same time, there is a feeling of taking it for granted.
People suddenly remembered Hee Sung's consistent style, and he likes to fill the album with high-quality songs, which makes people laugh and cry.
After hearing this song, the public's heart itched, especially those fans, and the anticipation for Hee Sung's new album reached a peak.
PS: This chapter should be about 5,800 words, in fact, it's 6,000 to make up a little, and there is some money left for everyone, hehe...... For the sake of such a generous loach, it means to vote for a monthly ticket. (To be continued......)
