Chapter 115: Persistence
Kwon is the only one in S.M. who is counted as an idol in the same period as H.O.T. H.O.T. is the only one left with Director Ahn, and she's still there. An Qixuan has changed from Kangta to Director An, and she is still there.
The artists who shared the stage with her, starting from the Bai family, have gone through too many colors such as orange, red, and blue. She's probably the only artist who's ever shared the stage with Myth in the company, and those days are a long time ago when I think about it now. For these jubilant children in front of them, perhaps they are still babbling at an age, Quan Baoer has already picked up the microphone and stood on the stage.
This girl is called Quan Baoya, and she is usually used to being called Bao'er, and even An Qixuan used her alias Quan Bao'er when she introduced Zhao Yuanxi.
At S.M, she is one of the few SOLO singers.
In 2001 and 2002, the Bai family was disbanded, and a monument collapsed; The Orange family left, and another cornerstone became the memory of time; SES disbanded, and the days of the girl group competing for supremacy were long over, and then it became the darkness of the girl group. During that time, it was almost impossible for S.M to keep itself afloat - although they still had some groups that had vague memories of their history, but they ultimately failed to help S.M get out of the crisis.
At this time, it was the six people who gradually began to carry the banner of the next generation of S.M. Among them are five older boys, who are the death squads and elites chosen by S.M., they are called TVXQ, and there is also a girl who is far from growing up to be a woman, but needs to challenge the circle, she is called BOA.
Yes, BOA, she really has been alone since that day and is still alone. She was the only one who was there.
She has been standing on the front line alone, and has been facing disturbances from all directions. She has no members to confide in, no members to share, and all the parts are her own. When she is active, she runs everything by herself. When she is tired, she can only drag her chin and sigh, and then she still needs to show her professional smile.
This is the strength of this woman, she is so strong that even men can hardly imagine it. No one accompanied her from the age of thirteen to twenty-three, and the days she grew up were probably spent on bumpy roads and on stages where she didn't know where.
There are too many things to bear on one person. She can only bear it alone. For so many years, she was alone.
A person's Quan Baoer met a person's Zhao Yuanxi, who is also a SOLO singer and is in the same S.M company.
The first reaction in Quan Bao'er's mind when she heard Zhao Yuanxi's song "In My Song" mixed in Chinese dialect for the first time was no different from others, and it was amazing that one person could be proficient in so many foreign languages at the same time. Because of professional needs, Quan Baoer has been learning foreign languages since she was a child, and is proficient in English and Japanese. Because he knew the difficulty of learning a foreign language, he was particularly curious about Zhao Yuanxi, who was proficient in the nine Chinese languages.
Quan Baoer returned to China without permission to say goodbye to An Qixuan, and then he also wanted to take the opportunity to meet Zhao Yuanxi, the rising star of the company.
With a tall figure, a handsome appearance, a steady and introverted temperament, or should be added to a humorous conversation, Zhao Yuanxi's first impression of Quan Baoer was almost perfect.
Quan Bao'er didn't understand why he said that he said that clueless sentence to Zhao Yuanxi, who met for the first time, and asked knowingly, and the inexplicable words that were easy to be ambiguous to outsiders, maybe just because the man standing in front of him was the same as himself, and maybe he needed someone to talk to.
Quan Bao'er stands safely, calm and calm, and her petite figure exudes the powerful aura of a superstar.
Zhao Yuanxi fully understood the meaning of Quan Bao'er's words and responded to her words accurately.
"Paulo'Oni." Tiffany's warm, flamboyant voice interrupted the conversation.
Tiffany was joined by Kim Taeyeon, Kim Hyo-yeon, and Lim Yoon-a. Kim Hyo-yeon joined S.M because he wanted to see Kwon Bo-a's demeanor with his own eyes, and he was selected to join the company by accident, and Kim Taeyeon and Tiffany also joined S.M because they loved Kwon Bo-a, and they were determined to embark on the same path as her as a singer. The three girls of Girls' Generation all chose S.M because of the charm of Kwon Boa, and then changed the trajectory of their lives.
As for Lin Yun'er, she purely loves to join in the fun, and when she saw Zhao Yuanxi and Quan Bao'er talking in the corner, she couldn't help but come over with her sisters to invite the two of them to have fun with everyone.
Kwon Bo Ah is very close to the girls of Girls' Generation, and she smiles when she sees them. Tiffany walked over briskly and hugged Kwon affectionately.
"Bo'er Oni, let's go over and play." Kim Hyo-yeon, who has always loved the excitement, sent out an invitation.
"Okay," Quan Bao'er agreed, and glanced back at Zhao Yuanxi, "Let's play together." ”
"Oppa, let's go." Lin Yun'er stretched out her arm to grab the crook of Zhao Yuanxi's arm, and half-dragged him forward.
After Li Xiuman left, the whole farewell dinner suddenly became relaxed, and a group of young boys and girls in their prime had a lot of fun, what is the best thing to do as an IDOL? Singing and dancing, of course. At this time, Eunhyuk of SJ in the center of the scene is fighting with Kwon Yoo-ri of Girls' Generation, saying that it is a fighting dance, and there are more elements of play, not to please the eye, but to laugh.
"Let's ask BOA to do a song." An Qixuan saw Quan Bao'er coming over at a glance and shouted loudly.
“BOA、BOA、BOA。” At this time, SJ and the children of Girls' Generation don't talk about their seniors anymore, and they follow An Qixuan to coax, as if they have become loyal fans of BOA.
Quan Bao'er smiled lightly, pulled the hem of her skirt casually, and Shi Shiran took two steps forward, dancing to the rhythm of the music.
Zhao Yuanxi once heard Shen Zaiyuan mention the company's female idol dance the first BOA, and at this time, he saw it with his own eyes and believed that what Shen Zaiyuan said was true. BOA's dance has a very strong sense of power, and it is not inferior to male dancers at all, and it is really comparable to the strength of professional dancers.
The farewell dinner didn't end until half past one in the morning, and S.M's group left in their respective nanny cars, and Kwon Bo Ah and Ahn Qixuan said goodbye to the nanny car to the airport, she needed to rush back to Japan immediately, and there was an itinerary for the next day.
Zhao Yuanxi sighed as he looked at the black modern car that disappeared into the night, the artist always seemed to be linked to the busy schedule, and he couldn't even choose the rest time.
The next day, Zhao Yuanxi came to the company and went to see Yu Yongzhen for the first time.
"Director Yu, I plan to release a Chinese album and debut in China." Zhao Yuanxi went straight to the point and said his intentions.
With Li Xiuman's approval and strong support, Zhao Yuanxi began to prepare his first regular Chinese album, the domestic market is different from the Korean market, not popular to release singles and mini-albums, but solid regular albums.
A regular album contains at least ten songs, and Zhao Yuanxi's first official album released in South Korea is "In My Song", although it is a regular album, in fact, there is only one song, but it is performed separately in nine Chinese dialects, and this routine obviously does not work in China.
Even with the addition of three songs from a "troublemaker" mini-album, it is only four songs, plus the English songs he wrote for fans, AllittleLove, "Falling Flowers" and "Dream", a total of seven songs, to make up ten songs and three more songs, it is impossible for him to complete it on his own in a hurry, and he can only rely on the production department to select high-quality songs.
"I think you should consolidate the Korean market for now and wait until South Korea reaches the top before you consider entering the Chinese market. SJ-M is based on the popularity and influence of SJ in Asia to develop the Chinese market, you as a SOLO singer do not have this advantage, in China you need to start as a newcomer. Yu Yongzhen was not surprised by Zhao Yuanxi's entry into the Chinese market, and he himself also had high hopes for Zhao Yuanxi, but he felt that the time was too hasty.
Zhao Yuanxi shook his head and said: "If you want to really gain a firm foothold in the Korean market, you can't do it in a year or two, I don't have much time, and it is impossible to spend a year developing in South Korea." ”
Yu Yongzhen sighed: "I hope you can think about it carefully. ”
"Thank you for your guidance and teaching," Zhao Yuanxi bowed, "I have made up my mind." ”
"Well, in that case, I can only fully support you, and I will personally help you produce your Chinese album."
"Thank you, Director."
