Chapter 390: The Challenge Left by the Seniors
Although it is said that if you want to do your best, in fact, the fifth jade has not been able to pay enough attention to the profession of an artist, after all, there is no reason to get serious about letting an onmyoji who has already stood at the top and is respected no matter where he is to entertain the public.
So Fifth Jade never cared about his popularity, let alone interacted with fans, because he didn't care subconsciously. With such an attitude, how can he talk about doing his best? He even said that he didn't even have the heart to compare with other artists!
An ant climbed to the top of the mountain and said to the mountain, "I am taller than you, will the mountain care?"
This is the difference between the level and the essence, in the eyes of the mountain, the ant is still an ant, it naturally does not care about what the ant does, let alone compare with it!
Of course, using ants and mountains as a metaphor is not to belittle the profession of artists, but onmyoji and artists are indeed like ants and mountains, completely opposite existences.
And until today, when the fifth jade really wants to do something from the bottom of her heart, the situation is different! This towering mountain saw the presence of ants, discovered the path of the ants, and then, the mountain moved!
It wants to see what kind of scenery the end of the ant's dream is!
And the world will also have the privilege to see what kind of behemoth the mountain top was originally hidden in the clouds, or what kind of style it has!
However, the fifth jade is not arrogant because of the past achievements, the past cannot represent the present, not to mention that the onmyoji and the artist are completely different fields!
Signed with Ai Hui ...... It's an opportunity and a challenge!
Fifth Jade realized this at the beginning, and the achievements of the Onmyoji could not be brought to the realm of artists, but it gave Fifth Jade a higher vision and a cool head!
Signed Ai Hui. Whether it's market analysis or promotional planning for the band, your own band will get better conditions. And Ai Hui is full of popular singers. It also makes ordinary people pay more attention to Ai Hui's singers. However, it is precisely this. While it brings benefits to the band, it also exposes them to an invisible challenge!
This challenge is not targeted, but is caused by a variety of real-world factors. The higher expectations of the public are not a problem, and as an ambitious combination, if they do not have confidence in the expectations of the public, there is no need to exist anymore. Here's the problem...... How to stand out among singers of this level like Ayumi Hamasaki and Namie Amuro!
Because, after being labeled as Ai Hui, although it can gain more attention from the public, it will inevitably be compared with other singers of Ai Hui!
As a newcomer. If it weren't for the deliberate embarrassment, the public wouldn't be able to compare them with diva-level singers like Ayumi Hamasaki. But the problem is that before the fifth jade them, there is also the predecessor of BOA!
Although BOA is a diva-level singer, he is also a Korean artist, and he also signed a contract from S.M. Company, so the experience is too similar to that it can't be measured by common sense!
Of course, even in comparison. Fifth, as newcomers, they will only face the results of the BOA rookie period. But even so, it was quite a challenge for the band of the fifth jade.
It's not presumptuous. Rather, because of the development of the Internet, the overall sales of the record industry have been declining. Even a pop diva like Ayumi Hamasaki is no longer in the heyday of millions of sales. The fifth jade is self-confident though. But not to the point of arrogance......
After leaving Li Xiuman's office, Fifth Jade has been thinking about this question. Maybe it's because of Li Xiuman's murderous reputation. As a result, there were hardly any people walking around his office. However, such a quiet corridor is also suitable for thinking. So. Fifth Jade simply found a seat nearby and sat down.
"Sales......" Fifth Jade sighed unconsciously.
Compared to Qianyue, who practiced the abilities that artists needed to master every day, Fifth Jade was not idle every day. In addition to learning to arrange music and practicing creation, he also has a deeper understanding of many rules in the entertainment industry with the help of Liu Yun.
To measure the success of a singer or band, look at the album sales!
Originally, the decline in physical record sales was an overall development trend, and now even if you talk about sales, you will use new standards, but as analyzed earlier, if you sign Ai Hui, the fifth jade will inevitably be compared with BOA!
"Fifth Jade OPPA, what's wrong?"
Fifth Jade came back to her senses and looked up, but it was Xiuying who appeared beside her. Frowning suspiciously, Fifth Jade asked:
"It's nothing, it's you, why did you come here?"
This floor is where S.M's management is located, and generally speaking, artists rarely come to this floor unless they are called.
"Uh......" Xiuying hesitated for a moment, originally she was not such an indecisive character, but her feelings for the fifth jade were a little subtle. Familiar and unfamiliar, you can have a lot of fun when you are together, but after separation, the image of the fifth jade will become a little erratic.
Of course, it's not just so-young who feels this way. Except for Taeyeon, Jessica, Yoona, and Seo Hyun, the other members of Girls' Generation are in a similar situation.
It's familiar, but it's surprisingly hard to say if you ask for help!
Xiuying sighed secretly, but after thinking about it, she deliberately ran here in order to find the fifth jade, is it difficult to retreat?
Fifth Jade looked at Xiuying in the tangle curiously, he had known Xiuying for so long, and it was the first time he had seen Xiuying have such an expression on her face!
At this time, I saw Xiuying gritting her teeth, as if she had made up her mind, and said:
"I'm here for you!"
"Huh?" Fifth Yu was stunned for a moment, and then heard Xiuying blushing and said intermittently:
"I want to talk to OPPA...... ...... with OPPA"
"Wait!" Fifth Jade suddenly interrupted Xiuying's words, in order to find herself, there were only two of them in the empty corridor, a lonely man and a widow, Xiuying still looked unspeakable, could it be ...... Could it be ......
Thinking of this, the fifth jade showed a panicked look on his face, and said helplessly: "That...... That's not going to work! Do you know the way...... I already have Taeyeon! ”
"Huh?" Xiuying blinked, only to see that the fifth jade looked flustered, and continued incoherently:
"Actually, you're very nice, with a cheerful personality and tall stature, but you're ...... However...... "The more Fifth Yu said, the more chaotic his brain became, and finally he ran out of words and froze there in embarrassment.
It's just that Xiuying's reaction next is not what Fifth Jade imagined.
It seems that I have misunderstood something...... Is...... Shame on you!
Fifth Jade looked at Xiuying, who was holding her stomach and laughing loudly, and was depressed for a while, like this...... It can't be a reaction to the rejection of a confession......
"Ah~ I'm laughing to death!" Xiuying took the tissue handed over by Fifth Jade and wiped the tears from the corners of her eyes.
The corners of the fifth jade's mouth twitched, and said, "As for laughing out of your eyes?" Anyway, save me some face! ”
"Uh-huh!" Xiuying nodded, but then said, "But...... It's really funny! ”
Fifth Jade: "......"
"Alright, alright! If you've laughed enough, let's get down to business! What are you looking for me? Fifth Jade was embarrassed for a while, and said angrily.
Xiuying was stunned for a moment, and her tone was ...... Or such an attitude, Fifth Jade rarely shows it to her, Yu Li and others!
Fifth Jade would not have had such an easy emotional swing, but such a misunderstanding was too embarrassing. However, when he saw Xiuying stunned, he reacted at once, and hurriedly said:
"I'm sorry, my tone is a little heavy, but ...... I'm not really angry. ”
Xiuying came back to her senses, but shook her head at the fifth jade's Dao Dao Ao.
"Actually, that's pretty good...... Not only can you talk and laugh, but you also need to be angry, so that you can be more humane! ”
"......" Fifth Jade was slightly stunned, he had experienced a lot of experience, and he did not lack communication skills, but those were just very formulaic social skills, or a mask. Such a technique may make a good first impression, but at the same time, it can also be a barrier to further understanding and communication.
Unlike Yun'er and the others, Fifth Jade rarely spends time alone with Xiuying and the others, so there is still an indescribable estrangement between them due to the lack of necessary communication and understanding, which is also the reason why Xiuying and the others are familiar and unfamiliar.
I've known each other for so long, and I like this group of happy girls, but I seem to be too insincere!
Originally, this kind of thing didn't need to be deliberately understood, and it would naturally transition to the past, but too many things have happened in the last half a year or so, which has caused the relationship between Fifth Jade and Xiuying to stagnate at this strange stage.
It was already familiar enough, and after figuring it out, the fifth jade transformation was natural. Raising his arm casually, he knocked on Xiuying's head lightly and heavily, and the fifth jade smiled:
"I'm not happy to be polite to you, it seems to be the rhythm of begging!"
Xiuying touched her head in surprise, but when she saw Fifth Jade's bright smile, she was immediately relieved. It feels like this kind of thing is sometimes clear, and sometimes it is inexplicable. Although it is not clear what kind of changes have occurred, Xiuying found that the strangeness of the original fifth jade has disappeared with this moment.
"Yikes! I'm not your Taeyeon, if I break it, you will pay for it! ”
"Lose! Lose your big one! ”
“……”
"Speaking of which...... It took you half a day to tell me about my two advantages, and you have to give me an explanation for this! ”
"Hey! That's not the point, is it? ”
"To say or not to say? If you don't talk about it, I'll tell you what just happened! ”
“…… This one...... This one...... Does the Big Stomach count as a big stomach? ”
"Hey, Taeyeon? The fifth jade OPPA just now...... Mmmm......mm......mm
