PS: Thank you Ehime, Trace Hikari for the tip!

The report of the semi-annual summary meeting was turned into a press release the next day and sent to the desktops of major entertainment news media.

You don't have to think about it to know what kind of sensation this amazing number caused in the entertainment industry after it was announced.

No one thought that A.P would be so ferocious. The turnover in just half a year is actually more than the total turnover of several other large planning agencies.

If in the past, it was customary to associate A.P with S.M, JYP, YG, DSP, etc., but now almost everyone agrees.

The current Korean entertainment industry, just like the current world situation, is a situation of one super and many strong.

However, the amount of income of entertainment companies, although the figures are staggering, does not make the general public care much.

After all, in the entire business field, the revenue exceeds that of A.P company.

The public has long been numbed by the trillions of annual turnover of large groups such as Samsung, LG, and Rakuten.

And what is most interesting to the outside world is actually the actual income of the artists under A.P Company.

Counting them, in just half a year, there are actually four artists with A.P company's revenue of more than 4 billion won.

You must know that in the entertainment industry in previous years, except for the monster Cui Zhengyuan, there is probably no one who can reach this value.

For a while, A.P got a new nickname: the gold machine in the entertainment industry.

Don't underestimate this matter, because after the report was announced, the first A.P company trainee audition, the number of applicants hit a terrifying 37,000.

Among them, the number of people in South Korea has reached 13,000, and the rest of China, Japan, Southeast Asia, Europe and the United States have all increased significantly.

It seems that the charm of money is really extraordinary, so that many children who want to become stars choose the platform and A.P company with better income.

However, the surge in the number of applicants has not allowed A.P. to relax its standards. On the contrary, in such a situation, Cui Zhengyuan put forward the need for more stringent requirements.

As a result, among the more than 30,000 trainee applicants, only 12 people, including Kim Min-suk, Kim Jun-yi, Jang Yee-heung, Byun Baek-hyun, Kim Jong-dae, Park Chan-yeol, Kim Jong-in, Oh Se-hoon, Wu Yifan, Kang Seung-yoon, and Woo Ji-ho, were selected.

As for the female trainees. It was the annihilation of the whole army.

This kind of formation even exceeds the college entrance examination, and it is a veritable single-plank bridge crossed by thousands of troops.

Even some social news sections reported on the grand occasion of the selection of trainees of A.P Company, and called on the majority of young people to choose their dreams rationally.

As a result, there are still many excellent seedlings who have to shy away from A.P and choose other good brokerage companies.

Not to mention whether other companies are happy or not, anyway, Cui Zhengyuan looked at the list of new trainees in his hand while walking, and was very happy.

These twelve people almost brought together the list of the most potential Korean newcomers who debuted after 2012.

Putting them together, it is estimated that they will not be weaker than the later EXO. And also on the platform of A.P. company. Cui Zhengyuan believes that he will definitely cultivate another super heavenly group.

Walking and walking, Cui Zhengyuan came to his destination.

When I opened the door and walked in, I saw that it was busy inside. A lot of people walked around, nervously preparing.

Quan Zhilong's voice was particularly loud in the crowd, as if he was a conductor. "Brother Dacheng, K is two degrees higher."

"Ji Hyo Nuna, the first paragraph of the third lady adds a little bit of drum mixing."

"Stop here for a moment, let me make a sound effect and join in."

Cui Zhengyuan walked over and came to Quan Zhilong's side. I saw that this guy was engrossed in manipulating the recording equipment. Didn't notice his arrival at all.

Cui Zhengyuan was not in a hurry, just watched quietly and did not disturb the busyness of the staff.

Until Quan Zhilong stopped what he was doing and took off the headset. I saw him.

"Brother, when did you come? I didn't say hello either. Why are you embarrassed to stand and wait for me? Quan Zhilong rubbed his hands, looking sorry.

Cui Zhengyuan said angrily: "I'm sorry, I'm standing too." What's the use of saying this now? ”

Quan Zhilong smiled, "Then next time I'll stand next to you and give it back to you." ”

"Yikes. Are you a child? How can you be so naïve? "Choi Jung-won really lost to his wonderful thinking.

Turning his head to look at the complete score on the computer, Cui Zhengyuan then asked, "How is it?" This time solo is almost ready, right? ”

Quan Zhilong looked at his work proudly, nodded and said, "Well, it's all ready." I recorded in the afternoon, and I started shooting the MV tomorrow, and it will be released in about a week. ”

Patting him on the shoulder, Cui Zhengyuan smiled: "Then I wish you good results in advance." ”

Quan Zhilong pursed his lips, with a look of resentment. "Brother can only talk about it now, and I didn't even ask much about my first solo time. In the past, we were personally responsible for recording our songs. Now that my brother's mind is on Taeyeon, we are all children who no one cares about. ”

Seeing that this guy would be jealous, Cui Zhengyuan couldn't cry or laugh. "What nonsense, if there is one of Taeyeon and others who can be as independent as you, I can ignore it. It is because I trust you that I let go and let you do it yourself. You should thank me for this trust, otherwise you would only be an idol singer Kwon Zhilong now, not the top ten composer Kwon Zhilong. ”

Quan Zhilong raised his head suddenly, with an inexplicable flash in his eyes, he looked at Cui Zhengyuan so fixedly, and said in a reminiscent tone: "But without my brother by my side, I always feel a little unsteady." ”

At this moment, Cui Zhengyuan seemed to have returned to many years ago.

At that time, Kwon Zhilong was far less handsome and confident than he is now. A skeleton-like figure, with big eyes full of naughtiness.

Every time, after getting into trouble without a heart, he looked at himself with pitiful eyes and begged for mercy.

Unlike now, even if two people meet, the little kid back then can already talk to himself like a man.

Time flies, time flies, and a few years of time really fly by. Unconsciously. A lot of things have changed.

"You're a man, it's not okay to live under someone else's wing all the time. You have to work hard to fly high, and in the future you have the ability to protect and love the people who are important to you. This is the only piece of advice that Cui Zhengyuan can give.

Quan Zhilong, who has been debuting for four years, must have understood a lot of truths.

The atmosphere became delicate for a moment, and both of them fell silent.

It wasn't until the busy people in the studio were almost gone that Quan Zhilong breathed a sigh of relief, and said with a smile on the corner of his mouth: "Brother, since you are here, then make some efforts to help me promote more." ”

Cui Zhengyuan also laughed. Said: "I'm here for this, I'm afraid that you won't be interested in solo for the first time, so I want to use my name to help you." ”

"What are you kidding, who am I? I'm Dark.L's Captain G-Dragon. I have so many followers, how can no one care? Quan Zhilong was not happy this time, and unexpectedly exploded.

Cui Zhengyuan decided to put some pressure on him and said, "Okay, since you are so confident, how about we make a bet too?" GirlsGeneration, for their part, won 10 consecutive titles in "Music Bank". Given that you're a human being, I'm not demanding, how about five in a row? ”

At this time, Quan Zhilong hesitated a little and couldn't make up his mind.

You have to know that it's on a singing show. It is not difficult for the men's team to get one place, but if it wants to win the championship, it is actually much more difficult than the women's team.

Because the fans of the boy group are basically women, they have a very strong advantage in terms of album sales. But in terms of competing for the most important sources. It's a loss.

Not to mention himself, when Dark.L returned a few months ago, he didn't take a few spots in "Music Bank".

Five consecutive championships. It's a heavy number.

However, seeing Cui Zhengyuan's playful eyes, Quan Zhilong's natural arrogance attacked. He gritted his teeth and said viciously: "Okay, I agreed, what's the bet?" ”

Cui Zhengyuan smiled, remembered yesterday's financial report, and said: "Now you are also rich, why don't we play a little bigger." If you win, I'll give you a yacht. If I win, you're going to give me a yacht too. Remember, the price of a yacht cannot be less than three million dollars. ”

"Brother, you're too dark, aren't you? I'm getting my hard-earned money. Quan Zhilong's face was sad with tears, and the muscles on his cheeks twitched at the thought of the figure of three million dollars.

Choi Jung-won was unmoved. "Don't pretend to be poor, I heard that you are preparing to build a manor. Can you even afford a plot of land and still care about a yacht? ”

The words have been spoken, and Quan Zhilong naturally cannot take it back. "Okay, let's bet on the yacht."

But immediately, his face changed, and he roared urgently: "But brother, you promised me just now that the things you want to help me promote cannot be changed." ”

For this guy who can't afford to lose, Cui Zhengyuan can only give a disdainful look. "Did I say I wouldn't do it?"

While speaking, Cui Zhengyuan took out his mobile phone and handed it to Quan Zhilong's agent. "Masane, let's take a certified photo for us."

Then he asked Kwon Zhilong, "Do you have an album cover here?" ”

"Oh, there is." As he spoke, Kwon picked up an empty album box from the table behind him.

Although the recording of the whole album has not completely ended, the album's cover design has been completed a long time ago.

"Sign me on it." Cui Zhengyuan commanded.

After Kwon Zhilong did so, Choi Jung-won took the album box and placed it in front of him. Then let Quan Zhilong stand by his side, and the two of them hooked their shoulders and let the agent take a picture.

After Cui Zhengyuan got his phone back, he uploaded the photo to Twitter as soon as possible, and then attached a line of caption.

Our dragon, the first solo signature was given to me. Dragon, solofighting!

Kwon Zhilong climbed on Choi Jung-won's shoulder and watched his upload process the whole way. After he got it done, he wasted no time in saying, "Brother, lend me my phone." ”

After taking the phone, Quan Zhilong skillfully opened Twitter, logged in to his account, and also uploaded the photo, but the attached text changed.

Today our dearest big brother came to the studio to cheer me on. My heart is warm, with my brother's blessing, I will definitely make a big deal this time.

The two tweets were announced on the front foot and back foot, and they were quickly noticed by fans of Choi Jung-won and Kwon Ji-ryong.

You must know that these two people are currently the top of the number of fans in South Korea, so the news of A.P's internal friendship and Kwon Zhilong's solo began to sweep the Internet like a whirlwind. (To be continued......)
