Chapter 114: ONE
S.M's expansion into the Chinese market is in the interest of Zhao Yuanxi, who makes a profit in the Chinese market and Zhao Yuanxi has made a name for himself in China.
South Korea, with a population of less than 50 million and the motherland with a population of 1.4 billion, can also know which is more important with the toes, and the purpose of Zhao Yuanxi's stay in South Korea is only to use S.M, the top music agency platform in South Korea, after all, one day he will let his name spread in the land of China.
Ahn Qi-hyun has always been Kim Tae-yeon's admired senior, and from the day she joined S.M, Kim Tae-yeon has been envious and looked up to Kim Tae-yeon, whether it is her influence in Asia, her excellent singing skills, or her excellent lyrics and composition skills.
Kim Tae-yeon saw Ahn Qi-hyun for the first time in the recording studio, not only was she so excited that she couldn't even speak, but she couldn't even speak the singing that she had always been good at. In Kim Taeyeon's memory, Ahn Qixuan has always been strict in his work and almost never praised himself, but at this moment, Ahn Qixuan admires Zhao Yuanxi very much, and frankly admits that he is inferior to Zhao Yuanxi in music, and Kim Taeyeon is surprised.
When An Qixuan and Zhao Yuanxi were talking, there were artists who were busy with their schedules one after another, SJ had the largest number of people, and the schedule was busy, so they came in several groups, and when they saw An Qixuan, they greeted respectfully, and An Qixuan was very kind and returned the salute one by one.
The girls of Girls' Generation also saluted SJ, who was their senior, and at the beginning of their debut, they were attacked by two fans for not using honorifics and maintaining the necessary respect in variety shows because they were familiar with TVXQ and SJ's seniors, and since then, they have been cautious in their words and deeds and strictly follow the necessary etiquette.
Zhao Yuanxi and SJ's people are not familiar with each other, so they can only be regarded as nodding friends, and there are still a few people among the thirteen people He saw for the first time, and he couldn't even call his name, so he said hello lightly, and even got up.
Han Geng, Xi Che and Cui Siyuan are the second to be transferred by SJ, and these three people are slightly familiar with Zhao Yuanxi in SJ.
"How's it going, when did you debut in China?" Zhao Yuanxi pulled Han Geng to sit down beside him and asked with a smile.
"On April 8th, the music billboard debuted." Han Geng was smiling, his debut in China was his dream pursuit, and seeing that it was about to become a reality, he was naturally very excited.
"Congratulations."
"Can you speak Korean?" Jin Xiche protested loudly, and only Jin Xiche dared to speak like this, his friendship with Han Geng was described as being close to each other, and he was the closest person to Han Geng in SJ.
Zhao Yuanxi smiled slightly and switched back to Korean to talk.
Then the four members of Girls' Generation also arrived one after another, BOA, TVXQ and Heavenly Zhixi were active in Japan, Zhang Liyin had already set off for China to carry out activities in March, and the two groups of SJ and Girls' Generation stayed in South Korea, plus An Qixuan and Zhao Yuanxi, two SOLO singers, basically S.M Korean artists were all there.
As the big boss, Li Xiuman appeared on the stage, dressed in a navy blue suit, with a warm smile on his face, full of red light, and walking with the wind.
As soon as Li Xiuman walked into the backyard of the villa, all the artists got up and saluted Li Xiuman's company, saying "good teacher", even An Qixuan was no exception, it can be said that all the artists of S.M company were selected and trained by Li Xiuman, and he was sure that he could afford the title of teacher.
Cho Won-hee is the only exception, he was neither selected by Lee so-man nor trained by him, and even the training courses he received at S.M were also taught by Yu Yong-jin and Sim Jae-won, and it was not appropriate for him to call the teacher, but only to call him "president" reservedly.
Li Xiuman greeted everyone one by one with a smile, and his eyes stayed on Zhao Yuanxi and patted him on the shoulder affectionately.
"Let's all go inside." Li Xiuman raised his hand, said loudly, and walked into the door of the villa first.
Zhao Yuanxi followed Li Xiuman's footsteps into the villa, before everyone was just eating barbecue and chatting in the courtyard of the villa, but he didn't expect the interior of the villa to be arranged with a different scenery. Similar to the scene of a Western-style dinner in the movie, a large long buffet table is placed in the center, and in front of the table is a small circular stage.
Lin Yun'er walked into the villa side by side with Kwon Yoo-ri and Jessica's arms, and saw a wide variety of buffets at a glance, with drinks and desserts, and couldn't help but move her index fingers, secretly thinking that she shouldn't eat so much barbecue if she knew that there was such a rich buffet in the villa, so she couldn't help but rub her stomach.
After everyone walked into the villa, Li Xiuman stood on the stage and gave a short speech, reviewing Ahn Qixuan's journey in S.M and his contribution to the company. Lee so-man's speech was followed by Ahn Qi-hyun's speech.
"Thank you for attending my farewell concert and dinner, I will leave it to you during my absence from the company," An Qixuan smiled shyly, "I know that everyone has the same mind as me, so let's start the dinner." I wish you all a memorable evening, and thank you all. ”
There was a burst of applause and laughter from the audience, obviously agreeing with An Qixuan's words.
Girlhood and SJ are very close, and there is no need to pay attention to any seniors and seniors at the moment, everyone is a diner, talking and laughing, playing and playing.
Zhao Yuanxi took a glass of champagne and stood in the corner from a distance looking at the lively crowd in the field, he is SOLO, no teammates, he has only been in South Korea for three months, and he has no friends, he is alone.
"Yuanxi." Li Xiuman ended the conversation with An Qixuan, found Zhao Yuanxi in the crowd, and also walked over with a glass of fragrant cake wine, and toasted Zhao Yuanxi from afar.
Since Zhao Yuanxi joined S.M, he released a regular album and a mini album have been very successful, raising the company's stock price, and then Zhao Yuanxi proposed a major shareholder to increase his holdings, reversing the long bear road of S.M's stock price for a long time, and the company's stock price has risen by nearly 60% so far, and Zhao Yuanxi has made great contributions.
With a background, ability, and strength, Zhao Yuanxi is the lucky star of S.M.
"President." Zhao Yuanxi raised his glass and took a sip.
"Congratulations on your album breaking a million." Li Xiuman took a big sip.
Zhao Yuanxi smiled faintly: "It's a trivial matter, why worry about it." ”
Lee so-man said with a smile: "This is the best album sales in the past ten years in Korean history, you don't know how many other companies are going crazy with envy of us, especially JYP's Park Jin-young, hehe." ”
The so-called peers are light on each other, as veteran singers Lee so-man and Park Jin-young, they are extremely incompatible with each other, and they each founded their own entertainment brokerage companies, and the competition between the two extends to the achievements of their artists. Zhao Yuanxi's outstanding achievements undoubtedly gave Li Xiuman a big face.
In time, Zhao Yuanxi surpasses SEVEN and RAIN, and if it is really as Yu Yongzhen said, Zhao Yuanxi will become the benchmark and totem of S.M company, proving that S.M company is also leading the field of SOLO male singers.
Zhao Yuanxi smiled, took a sip of wine, and said, "President, I plan to take the next step to enter the domestic market." ”
"Isn't it going to be too fast?" Li Xiuman groaned.
That is, Zhao Yuanxi, after changing other artists in the company, Li Xiuman categorically will not discuss the development plan of artists in a consultative tone, and he has always been free to resist in his words.
"With the company's foundation in South Korea, I can come back to the Korean market at any time, and now is a good time to open up the domestic market. ”
Zhao Yuanxi moved Li Xiuman with one sentence, that is, China's vast and mouth-watering market.
Li Xiuman nodded and said: "What you said makes sense, I will inform the planning department to immediately formulate a complete plan for you to enter the Chinese market." ”
"Thank you, President."
Li Xiuman smiled: "I look forward to you shining in China." ”
Zhao Yuanxi responded with a smile, "I also expect the company's stock price to rise all the way." ”
The two major shareholders of S.M. laughed and talked happily.
"Teacher, Bao'er is back." An Qixuan walked into Li Xiuman and said softly.
Li Xiuman raised his eyebrows, his displeased expression flashed away, and he said in a deep voice: "Bring her over to see me." ”
"Yes."
After a while, An Qixuan came to meet Li Xiuman with BOA.
"Hello teacher." BOA respectfully salutes ninety degrees, in front of Li Xiuman, she will always be an obedient and sensible thirteen-year-old girl when she first met, which is why Li Xiuman loves her.
At this dinner, Li Xiuman did not inform the artists in Japan that BOA went back to South Korea alone and obviously acted privately, which was the reason for his displeasure. The most intolerable thing for Li Xiuman is that the artist is disobedient and undisciplined.
BOA also knew that it was inevitable that he would not be happy to come back privately, so he didn't come directly, An Qixuan loved his little junior sister and volunteered to come over to fight the front station.
Thinking that today was An Qixuan's farewell dinner, and Zhao Yuanxi was standing beside him, Li Xiuman was not angry, suppressed the anger in his heart, and said: "Since you are here, have fun, and have a good time with KangTa, it is rare for you to meet after KangTa enlists in the army." ”
"Xie Lu, Mr. Xie." BOA STILL BOWED HIS HEAD AND REPLIED SOFTLY.
"I still have some things, so I'll go first," Li Xiuman turned his head and patted Zhao Yuanxi's shoulder affectionately, with a smile on his face, "Yuanxi, have fun." ”
Zhao Yuanxi nodded, "The president will walk slowly." ”
Seeing Li Xiuman leave the villa, BOA relaxed his whole heart.
An Qixuan smiled and introduced to the two of them, "Yuanxi, this is the most beautiful princess in our company. Bao'er, this is the most handsome prince in our company, Zhao Yuanxi. ”
Quan Baoer wore a pure white dress, very refreshing light makeup, and the whole person looked dusty, like a fragrant deep valley orchid, glowing with fairy spirit.
Quan Baoer looked at Zhao Yuanxi curiously, and said with a smile: "I have heard your song, "In My Song". ”
Zhao Yuanxi smiled: "If I say that I haven't had time to listen to Bao'er's song, will Brother KangTa be flattened?" ”
An Qixuan smiled and waved his hand again and again, "Your affairs don't involve me." ”
Ahn Qixuan's laughter did not fall, and he was dragged by Kim Hee-cheol and Choi Si-won to drink.
Quan Bao'er was amused by Zhao Yuanxi's words, laughed for a while, and asked softly, "Alone?" ”
Zhao Yuanxi nodded, "Alone." ”
"I'm also alone."
"For one person." Zhao Yuanxi raised his glass and emptied the champagne in the glass.
