Chapter 668: One More Push
2NE1 is a girl group that TCEntertainmen has been preparing for four years and is being nurtured as 'Girl Bigbang'. 2NE1 borrows the English pronunciation of the number 21, where NE is the English abbreviation of NewEvolution, symbolizing the 2NE1 group that has brought a new evolution to Korean music in the 21st century.
Announcing their official debut on May 6 with the single "Fire", the song MV reached 1 million hits in just one day after its release, and quickly swept the first place in the major music charts. For this reason, "Popular Ballads" also produced a 6-minute debut stage for 2NE1, which made countless viewers who watched it praise on the Internet afterwards, "I just think it's great when I watch it".
TCE did not stop there, and continued to use a lot of resources and manpower, material and financial resources to urge 2NE1, not only allowing 2NE1 to meet with Lovine, the "number one player in the American music industry", but also appearing on Pierce Hilton's blog, and attracting the attention of the famous American record label Universal Music to 2NE1. Moreover, TCE also revealed that 2NE1 has plans to march to the United States! They will accompany TCE producers to Los Angeles and California to produce their upcoming album at Universal Records. The stormy impact of 2NE1 has made the whole month of May a month for the audience and the media to shout for 2NE1.
After completing the first performance of the Music Bank, 2NE1 returned to the stage of popular songs, which was also their debut stage, and before the rehearsal began, the audience had already appeared 2NE1's fans --- BlackJack, which means 21 points in the poker game, and the cheering cards raised by the fans were also in black, pink spades and BlackJack. TCE has also launched a sweatshirt and T for these registered official fans. The back of the sweatshirt and the front of the T are printed with the Q&A card in poker. Q&A stands for 2NE1, which is regarded as the official support server, and more fans recognize them as the logo of BLACKJACK.
Zi-hee and Kim Tae-hee came to the backstage waiting room, and now there is not much time left for the rehearsal of the popular ballad, and the singers and groups of various companies have already arrived, and Zi-hee has seen Son Dan-fei, SuperJunior, SGWannaBe, SHINee, and so on.
Zi-hee and Kim Tae-hee appeared together, and immediately caused a sensation in the backstage standby room, and all the singers, whether they knew each other or not, all bowed respectfully and said hello, and even the PD responsible for the popular song rushed over to say hello.
"Zixi senior! Kim Tae-hee senior! Hello! Even if he is familiar with Zixi, as the captain of SuperJunior, Little does not dare to slack off, and still leads all his teammates to say hello respectfully.
"Little, I haven't seen you for a long time, and you're here to play today?" Zixi didn't put on a shelf of his predecessors, he used to go to S.M company a lot, and most of the members of SuperJunior were quite familiar, and Little, Xiche and Han Geng were all older than Zixi, so they spoke in plain language, and there was no big psychological burden.
"Whew! We got one last week, and today we have to keep up the good work. Xi Che was more casual and hurriedly said.
"Don't listen to him." Litt pushed away the self-cooked Xiche with one hand and said, "2NE1 is menacing, it seems that one of us today is a little hanging." β
"Huh! If Pu Chun and the others heard you praise them so much, I'm afraid they would wake up laughing in the middle of the night. Zixi patted Little's arm and said, "Let's get together together, I'll invite everyone to dinner, don't shirk." β
"Xie Lu, Xie Zixi, senior!"
"Senior Kim Tae-hee is really beautiful, standing beside her just now, I didn't even dare to breathe." Qiang Ren looked at Zixi and Kim Tae-hee who were far away, touched his chest, and said with a yearning on his face: "If my future girlfriend can be half as beautiful as Kim Tae-hee's predecessors, I promise not to go to nightclubs in the future." β
"Cut!" More than a dozen middle fingers were raised together at Qiangren.
"At first, I thought that Brother Zixi had a crush on a certain member of Girls' Generation, so he did his best to help them, but now it seems that he really cares about Girls' Generation as a sister. To be able to pursue a beauty like Kim Tae-hee's predecessor, anyone will be willing. Eunhyuk said enviously.
"Don't think about it, let's keep your feet on the ground!" Choi Si Won hit Eun Hyuk with his arm and said, "I think it's very unnatural to be with Brother Zixi now. β
Little breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Origin is right, I feel this way too. Haven't you noticed that Zixi's predecessor's aura is very strong now, and he feels very stressed and uncomfortable standing beside him. A lot of things I wanted to say, or dared to say before, I can't open my mouth in the face of him now. β
All the members of this concept nodded in agreement, and the prodigy said: "Brother Zixi is now a superstar in the world, and the contacts are all the top stars in Hollywood, and it is natural that he has a strong aura, and the distance between us and him is too big." I don't know when we'll get there. β
Neither Zi-hee nor Kim Tae-hee knew that the members of SuperJunior were talking about them behind their backs, and through the guidance of the staff, they had found the waiting room where 2NE1 was located, a large waiting room, where many new singers were waiting together.
"Azusa Hee OPPA! Kim Tae-hee senior! The first person to see Zi-hee and Kim Tae-hee was Kim Hyun-ah, who was practicing her voice in the waiting room, and when she saw the two of them walking into the standby room, Kim Hyun-ah shouted in disbelief.
"Little mustangs? How did you end up here? Zixi is also curious, since Kim Hyun-ah quit WonderGirls, and then terminated the contract with JYP, she learned from Zirui that Kim Hyun-ah spent half a year to recuperate and join CUBEEntertainment to become a trainee again. Zi-hee hasn't seen this strong little girl for a long time, and he has a sense of guilt for Kim Hyun-ah in his heart, and always feels that it was because Zi Rui replaced Kim Hyun-ah's position in WonderGirls, so she had to terminate her contract with JYP.
Kim Hyun-ah's shouts alarmed the entire waiting room, and a group of girls all stood up and stared at the legendary male star in the current Korean film and television industry with excitement on their faces.
"Hello Zixi senior! Hello Kim Tae-hee seniors! Except for Zixi and Kim Tae-hee, all the people in the entire waiting room bowed 90 degrees, including which assistants, makeup artists and stylists also bowed solemnly, after all, the two people in front of them represent the top existence in the Korean film and television industry, so they can't be rude at all.
"Hello everyone!" Zixi and Kim Tae-hee looked at each other and smiled bitterly, the changes in identity and status are obvious, especially Kim Tae-hee, she is now empathetic.
Park Chun and Park Sandora walked over and occupied Kim Hyun-ah's position, and they couldn't hide their excitement on their faces, "Senior Zixi, are you and Senior Kim Tae-hee here to cheer for us?" β
"Yes! I didn't have a chance to see your debut stage, but this time you are playing in popular songs, of course you have to support it. Zixi greeted Park Chun, Park Shan Dora, Li Cailin and Kong Minzhi and said with a smile: "Are you all ready?" This is the first time you have played a song in a popular ballad, do you have any confidence? β
"Yes!" The four girls collectively shouted loudly, which attracted the envy of the singers from other companies around them.
"Go ahead! Prepare well, we'll be cheering you on offstage, Fighting!! β
"That's right, as a newcomer, you shouldn't have too much psychological burden, just do your best. FightingοΌοΌοΌ Kim Tae-hee also cheered for these four girls who were in the same company but rarely interacted with.
"Xie Lu, Xie Zixi, senior! Xie Lu Xie Kim Tae-hee senior! We'll definitely work on it. Pu Chun puffed up his bun face and raised his fist with confidence to cheer himself up.
"Huh! Our bread spring is full of momentum! β
"Senior Zixi, can you not call me bread spring. Strange and shameful. β
"You like to eat bread, you like to make bun faces, if you don't call you bread spring, do you still call you rice spring?"
"Forget it, it's better to call bread spring cute." Pu Chun glanced at Zixi and said angrily. Remembering that Hanchun's name was still from a dinner with Bigbang's victory, I didn't expect that even Zixi would know about it, and I couldn't help but hold a grudge against the victory.
"Brother! Are you here too? Quan Zhilong wore a hat and a red backpack, and ran in sweaty, and when he saw the back standing at the door, he immediately recognized who the person was.
"It's Zhilong! Are you here to cheer for Park Chun? β
"Whew! promised Pu Chun, the first time they played a song in the group, no matter how busy they were, I would come over to cheer them on. Quan Zhilong wiped the sweat on his face, took the mineral water handed over by Kong Minzhi and took a few sips.
"Then you talk, I'm waiting for your wonderful performance on the spot." After chatting for a while, Zi-hee left with Kim Tae-hee, and outside the waiting room, Kim Hyun-ah was already waiting with a few girls.
"What are you doing standing here? This is a passage, not a street, and it is not a place for you to have fun, and the current newcomers really don't understand the rules at all. As soon as Zixi walked out of the waiting room, she felt disgusted when she heard it, and she was arrogantly accusing the five girls who kept apologizing.
"What's going on?"
"your ......." The voice stopped abruptly, and a man wearing a TV station badge turned pale, and stood there with angry eyes that didn't dare to look directly.
"Humph! The TV station invited you back, is it just for you to play prestige in front of the artist? Zixi's disgusted expression and unceremonious words made the staff member in front of him look like ashes.
"Zi Xixi, what's the matter?" The live PD of the popular song appeared in time, and when he saw the deadlocked atmosphere on the scene, he knew that the road was not good.
The staff of the TV station usually do not have a good face in the face of low-status newcomers, and it is polite not to speak ill of each other, and it is common to scold them in person. It's good to die, this time the newcomer scolded by the staff actually knows Zixi, and it seems that the relationship is very good, so even if he is unlucky.
PD will not offend Zixi because of a staff member, so far, Zixi SBS TV station chairman representative position has not been revoked, get a staff member, just a matter of one sentence. But as an on-site PD, it's another thing not to deal with this staff member.
"I'm sorry! Zixi, please rest assured, I will deal with this matter seriously. The on-site PD patted his chest and reassured.
"Hmmm! Pay attention in the future, even if they are newcomers, who dares to guarantee that they will not become popular in the future? This kind of behavior is not to discredit the TV station, who will dare to do a program on the TV station in the future? Zixi's words almost judged the result of this staff member, making his face instantly pale and bloodless.
"Zixi senior! Kim Tae-hee senior! Hello! We are 4minute, and I am the captain Nam Ji-hyun (Heo Ga-yoon, Jun Ji-yoon, Kim Hyun-ah, Kwon So-hyun). The five girls stood upright and saluted ninety degrees.
"Hello!" Zixi looked at Kim Hyun-ah and asked with a gentle smile, "Little Mustang, is this your new teammate?" What happened just now didn't seem to affect Zixi's good mood at all.
"Whew! Azusa OPPA, they are the members of my new group 4minute, please take care of them in the future! Kim Hyun-ah saw that the smile on Zixi's face was as close as ever, which made her heart that she had originally mentioned relaxed.
It's strange to say, Zixi felt very sorry for this girl who insisted on being sick because Zirui replaced Kim Hyun-ah's position in WonderGirls, and her heart was full of guilt. I'm worried that Kim Hyun-ah won't be able to see it because of this matter, or she won't be able to let it go, after all, the trainees who can make their debut can only make their debut through the hardest training, and Zirui is a little suspicious of picking fruits. Therefore, Zixi doesn't want to face Kim Hyun-ah so as not to embarrass both parties.
Kim Hyun-ah left WonderGirls, left the familiar JYP, stayed at home to concentrate on recuperation, and thought a lot. It was impossible to say that she had no resentment against Zirui, how could she say that she had spent so much effort and was stolen by someone, of course she would not be happy. It's just that in front of her family and friends, she doesn't want to worry about the people who care and love her, and deliberately shows her strong side.
But after thinking about it a lot, I gradually thought about it. Even if there is no Zirui, there may be someone else who will go back to take her place in WonderGirls, after all, JYP has spent so much energy cultivating the group all the time, it is impossible to stop the normal operation of the group because of someone, it just depends on who this replacement is.
And Zirui's joining has brought WonderGirls to the next level and become a member of the girl group, Kim Hyun-ah's resentment has gradually dissipated, she can't guarantee that she is still in the group, WonderGirls will be able to achieve such impressive results, and now she has entered the American music industry and become a star in the world of the world.
Now that I have figured it out, my heart is also calm. But facing Zixi again, Kim Hyun-ah is still a little apprehensive in her heart, will this OPPA, who used to be very talkative, change because she has left WonderGirls and regard herself as a stranger? It is precisely because of this misunderstanding in both of their hearts that they will inevitably be shocked and hesitant when they meet again.
However, the warm smile on Zixi's face dispelled the small doubts in Kim Hyun-ah's heart, and he didn't mind that Kim Tae-hee was watching from the side, took Zi-hee's hand, and said coquettishly: "Zixi OPPA, you were so majestic just now, you really deserve to be His Royal Highness the Prince." β
"Huh! It's just that you're troublesome. Zixi patted Jin Hyun-ah's head, this girl who is only seventeen years old does have heartache, "How is the performance of your group, this time the popular ballad is also here to play?" β
"We haven't debuted yet! This time, the popular song is a performance, and the president has familiarized us with the stage, and we will make our official debut in four days, so OPPA will come and cheer for it? Kim Hyun-ah pleaded with a long mouth.
"Good! If I'm free, I'll be there to support. Zixi agreed without even thinking about it. As soon as the words came out, he seemed to let go of something in his heart, and his mood was a lot lighter.
"Xie Lu, Xie Zixi, OPPA!" Zixi's willingness surprised the other four members of 4minute. This is a rare opportunity, and if the president of CUBEEntertainment, Chiro Dozi Hee, will attend to watch their debut, I'm afraid the president's mood will be high.
PS: Thank you very much Brother Potato for fighting the bad guys and Azure Broad for the reward, it is because of your existence that this book is valuable. Xie Lu thanked everyone for their continued support and encouragement.
