Chapter Seventy-Three: The One Is Coming
At the end of this July, Chen Zaitian will hear it even if he doesn't want to hear it, which is naturally the termination of the contract by TVXQ.
On the afternoon of July 31, Park Youtian, Kim Jae-joong, and Kim Jun-so, the three members of the popular group in Asia and South Korea's "TVXQ", formally filed a lawsuit with the local court, requesting a judgment that the ownership agreement between them and ** company is invalid. As soon as this incident came out, the entire Asian entertainment industry was in an uproar. In fact, rumors that "TVXQ" will terminate its contract with South Korea's ** company have been rumored several times in recent years, especially in June this year, which was publicly disclosed by the Korean media. However, the company has always denied it, and TVXQ has never confirmed the matter positively.
The trigger for this head-on conflict is said to have been caused by a serious divergence of interests between corporations and private individuals. It turned out that the parents of Park Youtian and the other three members jointly ran a cosmetics brand, and on July 13, Park Youtian and the other three had asked the company for leave to attend the cosmetics press conference, but after ending the Beijing solo concert on July 11, the company suddenly rejected their request for leave, and believed that they had violated the company's interests by attending the cosmetics press conference in private. As a result, the contradictions between the two sides have completely intensified.
The imbalance in the relationship between artists and agencies is common in the entertainment industry around the world, and a few years ago, F4, which was popular in Asia, publicly declared that the production company was a "vampire", and the problems of the mainland's Tianyu company and its talent show artists have also been frequently reported in the newspapers, and this kind of thing is even more common in Europe and the United States. However, due to South Korea's rigid culture and high-pressure society, the strict hierarchy of the entertainment industry, etc., the status of artists and agencies has not been equal. From being selected as a trainee to debuting to becoming famous, each part not only has to go through a lot of rigorous training, but also has to go through various conditions.
The contradictions between the three members of TVXQ and the brokerage company are all justified by the public and the mother-in-law is reasonable, and only the parties concerned will know what the real truth is.
Originally, Chen Zaitian heard such a thing, but it didn't matter to him. However, for some reason, he couldn't help but think of something when he heard what Kim Jae-jung said in the news about S.M's company's harsh contract for them like slaves and inhuman beings, and he shuddered, and frowned...
Chen Zaitian doesn't know what the relationship between Girls' Generation and TVXQ is, maybe they did have the best friendship and the best memories of each other when they were trainees, but since they became stars, everything has been hidden behind their backs, whether it is because of the control of the brokerage company, or because of the protective color on their bodies after becoming stars.
The first day of August.
TVXQ incident obviously had a great impact, starting from the morning, the entire S.M company building was dull and depressed, few words were spoken, and the girls also lost their former colors, often bowing their heads from time to time, or their eyes were dumbfounded, not knowing what they were thinking.
Chen Zaitian couldn't say anything to them about this situation, after all, if the girls were really worried about TVXQ's incident, he couldn't get involved now. But work is a must. Maybe it's because of the TVXQ incident, in the morning, Park Ji-ho, as the agent of Girls' Generation, gathered their assistant group in the office, and the most important requirement was to pay attention to the girls, and if there was any abnormal behavior in the future, they must report it immediately.
In South Korea, it is understandable that the agency has control over its artists, but knowing that the girls are also going to be controlled, he is very uncomfortable, and then he thinks of the problem he thought about before, touching his nose and frowning even more.
"Taeyeon, let's go, Brother Jiho is ready to come over."
Chen Jaecheon walked up to Taeyeon and said softly.
Taeyeon was obviously thinking about something, and she was stunned for a while before she came back to her senses, and when she saw that it was him, she quickly nodded. "Hello, oppa."
"Well, you can tell them about it, and let them get ready."
"Got it, thank you oppa."
No matter what, no matter who it is, Taeyeon can always smile on her face, but I don't know why, for the first time, Chen Jaetian felt helpless and helpless behind her bright and sweet smile...
"Taeyeon!"
For some reason, he called out.
"Huh?"
Taeyeon turned around and looked at her strangely, still with that touching smile on her face.
"What's wrong? oppa。 ”
When she speaks, she is so cute, people can't help but be happy.
"Forget it." Faced with this, he had no choice but to smile faintly.
"Ah, oppa, you're necrotic."
Taeyeon glared at her angrily. "Fool me, hum~!"
Seeing her cute appearance, Chen Zaitian laughed even more, this little woman is so cute, too sweet and lovely, people like her from the bottom of their hearts.
"Hurry up, I'll tell the driver to get the car ready."
After all, the members of Girls' Generation are nine girls, and unless they are driving a bus, it is impossible for a car to accommodate it completely, not to mention Park Ji-ho and their entourage of assistants, makeup artists, costume artists, etc.
I have to say how lucky Chen Zaitian was to sit down for a meal with Park Ji-ho in the new dormitory of Girls' Generation last time, which seems to be why Chinese always have to enhance their feelings at the dinner table when talking about things. It seems that Park Ji-ho is now closer to him, at least from some subtle treatments.
Chen Zaitian sat comfortably in the co-pilot, without having to squeeze a nanny car behind him with other staff, not only that, but he could also smell the fragrant and fragrant girl's fragrance in the car, what a happy thing. In the car he was riding in, it was Seo Hyun, so-young, Hyo-yeon, Sunny and Yu Li. Park Ji-ho sat in the passenger seat of the car in front of him, with Taeyeon, Yoona, Tiffany, and Jessica with him.
Girls are girls after all, maybe they also feel sad and lonely in their hearts this morning for TVXQ and S.M, but they still have to face their own lives and their own work. Their job is to show their most beautiful side to the audience, to make people happy, to make more people happy.
"Yoo Hee-yeol's Sketchbook" is a live music program on South Korea's KBS TV, which will invite many singers to sing live on the show, which is almost a similar program to "Kim Jong-un's Chocolate". Girls' Generation's first stop today is to record this episode of the show.
"In 2009, who was the most popular girl group in the music industry? I think you have the answer. Yes, I also like these girls, they are so lively and cute. Ah, their singing voices are really good, and there is a little bit of sexiness in that girl..."
The host Yoo Hee-yeol's interesting opening remarks made the audience laugh too, and they were more looking forward to the appearance of the girls he was going to introduce next.
"Well, there may already be a lot of boys who are dissatisfied with my nagging, well, now welcome to the hottest girl group we have already been excited about, Girls' Generation."
Without waiting for Yoo Hee-yeol to finish clapping his hands and welcome, the audience had already unveiled the prelude to today's performance of Girls' Generation with enthusiastic echoes.
As Taeyeon's melodious and dynamic voice sounded, "Say Your Wish" sung by Girls' Generation was beautifully presented in front of the audience. I have to say that Chen Zaitian has listened to this song too much during this time, and it is basically this song that Girls' Generation has featured in various music programs and activities. Ears make perfect, and he will hum when he hears a lot.
I have to say that this Liu Xiyeol's eloquence is still quite good, at least he likes it, maybe it should be the paragraph where he praised Girls' Generation just now.
People are selfish, they only like what they like, they like to hear what they want to hear, and sometimes they don't even care if it's true or false, good or bad, just for the pleasure of that moment.
After the girls' generation finished recording the show, it was also afternoon, and they had to take the car to the next destination, which was "HighOne Summer Festival", because they were afraid that the time would not come, they had already changed into white navy uniforms directly in the lounge backstage of the "Yoo Hee-yeol's Sketchbook" program.
Maybe I didn't have a good rest last night, and after a day's activities, the girls were really a little tired, and they all squinted and fell asleep in the car.
“oppa。”
A small voice suddenly came from Chen Zaitian's side, and he opened his eyes and turned back when he was also going to rest.
But it's Yu Li.
"What's wrong, Yuli?" Chen Zaitian looked at the other girls, and his voice became quieter, for fear of disturbing them.
Yu Li bit her lower lip as if we were taking Chinese medicine in our mouths, and there was a painful expression on her face.
"My stomach hurts, I feel bad."
Chen Zaitian looked at her, knowing that she was not joking, because the girl's face was already a little pale. He couldn't help but lean back, stretched out the back of his hand, and gently pressed it against her forehead. There were actually tiny beads of sweat on his forehead, but they were cold.
"What's going on?"
But Yu Li gritted her teeth and shook her head slightly.
"It's uncomfortable, it's a little cold."
Fortunately, Chen Zaitian was wearing a vest in it today, and hurriedly took off the long-sleeved shirt outside and attached it to her feet. The girls' navy performance outfits are just a simple pair of short pants, and it's normal to feel cool in a car with a hint of air conditioning, not to mention Yu Li, who doesn't know what's wrong now, and is unwell.
"Do you want me to talk to them?" Chen Zaitian glanced at the other girls who were already fully asleep, and he felt that they might be more suitable to take care of her than him, who were also girls.
But Yu Li shook her head in pain.
"Don't want oppa, I'll be fine after a while, let them rest for a while."
"This..." Chen Zaitian had no choice but to listen to her. "Are you sure it's okay?"
Yu Li nodded, reluctantly squeezed out a faint smile and said, "It's okay oppa, thank you, I'll be much better if you talk to me." ”
Chen Zaitian knew that she was right, and distracting from talking to people could indeed relieve some pain, but he just didn't know if Yu Li could bear it. What's more, he doesn't know what happened to her yet.
There was no way, he had to turn around as much as he could, holding Yu Li's hands, at least as much as possible to warm her up.
This is the first time that Yu Li has been so tightly held by a man's hands, and the heat from Chen Zaitian's palm is slowly transmitted through her slender hands, and most importantly, it is transmitted to her chest, her heart suddenly pounds and pounds, her face suddenly blushes, her whole body is warm, and she feels that her stomach is not so painful.
She couldn't help but bow her head!
"Ah, you're really going to kill me, what's going on, if not, I'll call Brother Zhihao."
"Don't, forget about oppa."
Yu Li hurriedly raised her head and said in refusal.
Looking at Chen Zaitian's anxious expression, sweat was already breaking out on his head, but he was really embarrassed to speak when he thought of the reason for his pain.
Chen Zaitian frowned, but he didn't pay attention to the girl's expression just now, he didn't want to mention how anxious he was now, but Yu Li didn't say it, and he didn't know what to do.
Yu Li bit her lower lip hard and said, "I... That's coming! ”
"Huh?!"
