Chapter 50: Pacified
The relevant preparations are made, and the assistant comes in to report. The public relations department has finished negotiating with the organizers of Kim Jong Kook's fans, and ten of them have been led to the conference room by the company's staff. They conveyed their opinions through the reception staff, hoping to meet with the company's top management and Kim Jong Kook to thoroughly understand the real reasons for the dissolution of Turbo. Fortunately, although these representatives are not too old, they are still relatively rational and do not show any excess.
Cui Zhengyuan looked outside the company and saw that the remaining fans had dispersed in three or three. It shows that the biggest hidden danger of this emergency has been solved, and the remaining thing is to deal with those deputies. However, for a veteran like Cui Zhengyuan, it is a piece of cake and there is no difficulty. His more consideration is to build out the reputation of A.P Company through this incident and establish a good image to the outside world.
After sorting out the things in his hand, Cui Zhengyuan got up and went to the conference room. After exchanging opinions with Kim Young-min before, it was finally decided that Choi Jung-won would come forward for this meeting. First, Kim Young-min, as the president of the company, cannot easily show up, otherwise he is likely to be coerced by fans through the same actions in the future, which is not conducive to the company's efforts to take the initiative in handling similar incidents; The other is that Cui Zhengyuan is about the same age as these fans, which will not cause them too much pressure, and can well reduce the impression that the agency is overwhelming.
Walking to the door of the conference room, Cui Zhengyuan stopped and took a deep breath. It was a big test, and he had never had any experience with anything like this before. Although I am confident that I can deal with these students-based fans, I am still a little nervous.
He stopped, and the assistant had to follow. With his hand on the door, the assistant withdrew the force of pushing the door, staring at the general expression, while observing the watch from time to time. Ten minutes had passed between the time the fan representative came in and the time he notified the executive to arrive. If it drags on for too long, it may make the people inside misunderstand that A.P's previous move was a delay. After a détente, the feeling of being deceived will cause greater anger and will be difficult to resolve.
Fortunately, the executive didn't let him worry too much, and after stabilizing his mood, he motioned for him to open the door.
The moment the door opened, the whispering in the room stopped abruptly, and everyone turned their heads to look at it. Cui Zhengyuan smiled politely and strode in. Instead of going to the rostrum, he asked his assistant to bring a chair, placed it opposite the delegates, and sat down straight. His eyes swept from left to right, paying attention to everyone's appearance.
Maybe Cui Zhengyuan looked too young, and the original angry expressions of these people were replaced with shock. Without giving them time to react, he preemptively introduced himself, "Hello everyone, I'm Choi Jung-won, the managing director of A.P Entertainment. First time we met, hopefully we can have a good start".
The girls sitting opposite were directly electrocuted by Cui Zhengyuan's sunny smile, and they forgot the purpose of coming in a daze. Fortunately, several boys are calmer, same-sex repulsive, and can be indifferent to Cui Zhengyuan's handsomeness. One of the boys, who looked like the lead, coughed, waking several girls out of. "Hello Executive Choi, I'm Park You-chul, the president of the turbo fan club."
The girls looked embarrassed and blushed and hid aside. Several of the boys had finished introducing themselves, but they still hadn't responded. Zuihou still couldn't stand it anymore and stabbed the girl closest to him under the table to get them back to normal.
The girl who was the first to wake up didn't dare to look at Cui Zhengyuan, but lowered her head and introduced herself in a mosquito voice. "Hello, I'm the vice president of the Turbo Fan Club and the head of the Turbo support group, Shin Hongzhu." Several other girls also introduced themselves.
Cui Zhengyuan clapped his hands, attracting everyone's attention, and Zhengse said, "I have learned the purpose of your visit through the staff of the company. First of all, on behalf of the company, I would like to express my sincere gratitude to all of you for your love for Turbo, and I hope that you will continue to support Kim Jong Kokko's personal development in the future."
Park Youzhe pushed his glasses and took the lead in responding, "Executive Choi, these people here are all die-hard fans of turbo, and I believe you have also seen your loyalty to turbo." What we don't understand is that Weishenme made the decision to dissolve your company in the context of a big situation. As their fans, we don't understand what kind of purpose your company is doing this"?
Park You-cheol's words represent the meaning of these people, so they all looked at Choi Jung-won intently, waiting for him to give an explanation.
Although he was stared at by twenty pairs of eyes, Cui Zhengyuan did not panic at all, and said in a clear manner: "I have no doubt about your loyalty to Turbo. However, as for Mr. Park's statement that the situation of the turbo is very good, from the point of view of the brokerage company to which he belongs, I disagree."
Turbo currently has millions of fans, and every show is a hit. The cheering voices at the scene were not inferior to popular groups such as HOT. The group that enjoys such popularity is actually said that the future is not good by this young executive officer, and these people all look at him with suspicion.
Cui Zhengyuan didn't give them a chance to refute, and continued: "I know, you are all fans who simply like a star or group. But are you thinking from their point of view? Did they disband Turbo voluntarily? Or is it a decision made by our company for the sake of long-term development"?
A series of questions made these student parties a little confused. Shen Hongzhu asked hesitantly: "Executive Cui, do you mean that Zhong Guo Oba and Ming Ji Oba both want to disband Turbo?"
"That's one of the reasons. Kim Jong Kook and Cho Myung Ji have worked together for many years, and now they have a period of fatigue. Therefore, they all expressed their desire to solo to me"? Choi Jung-won weaved a lie to these students.
Kim Jong Kook is the only one who wants to fly solo, but if Choi Jung Won tells the truth, there will immediately be a rumor that there is a disagreement within the turbo and Kim Jong Kook excludes the members. Only by saying that the dissolution is the result of a negotiation between two people can he be more hode protected.
There is no right or wrong in this matter, Kim Jong Kook is the singer who is strongly praised by the company next, and Zhao Mingji has terminated the contract with the company, so of course it is clear how to choose. Even if Zhao Mingji knew this result, he didn't dare to jump out and refute it. As long as he still wants to stay in this circle, or live on this shijie.
If he doesn't open his eyes, Cui Zhengyuan doesn't mind taking drastic measures. In his previous life, he was the top figure in the entertainment industry, but he was used to seeing dark things, and he used a lot of such methods. No entertainment company's success depends on innocent efforts, and those who do so will only be swallowed up in this circle.
A female student asked: "That weishenme is Zhong Guo Oba stayed, but Mingji Oba was terminated"?
"Relatively speaking, Kim Jong Kook's comprehensive strength is better, even as a solo singer, he can have a very good development. In addition to dancing and rap, Zhao Mingji's singing skills are still a little weak. Therefore, the company discussed with him at the beginning, hoping that he could go behind the scenes, as the company's dance and rap teacher, and officially become a staff member of the company. Unfortunately, Mr. Zhao Mingji has a persistent desire for the stage. We didn't agree on the same philosophy, so we finally proposed to terminate the contract with him. We also hope that he will have a beautiful future in the future." Cui Zhengyuan did not lie in this matter, but told him bluntly.
That's what he meant at the beginning, but Zhao Mingji had a bad temper and didn't consider his suggestion, so he left the company in a rage. The opportunity for the two sides to get back together was missed, and the two sides became passers-by from then on.
For idols, these fans sometimes even exceed their agencies. Several people thought about it carefully and found that the situation was indeed as he said. Even as die-hard fans of Turbo, they think that Zhao Mingji has no possibility of solo success. And they know Zhao Mingji's character better, and it is really not a haode choice to let him face the deceitful entertainment industry alone.
Thinking about it like this, their original resentment disappeared a lot. Only a few people are unwilling, and one of the chubby boys shouted: "Who knows if it was you evil entertainment companies who forced Brother Ming Ji to leave"?
His question was just in time, and Choi Jung-won held up the CD in his hand. "Here is the video letter that Mr. Zhao Mingji left for you when he left, let's take a look at it together. Let's see if it's as the male classmate said." With that, he walked over to the CD player and put the disc in.
The image from the CD was displayed on a screen next to the wall, and Zhao Mingji was wearing a gray T-shirt and a hip-hop hat, sitting on the sofa with a serious expression.
"Wow, that's really Mingji Oba". "It's Brother Mingji!!
The ten delegates exclaimed in unison, immediately staring at the screen with full attention. Cui Zhengyuan saw all their expressions in his eyes, and the corners of his mouth outlined a smile of success. I believe that as soon as this video comes out, the incident can be successfully resolved.
Zhao Mingji on the screen was silent for a while, Zuihou let out a sigh of relief, and then slowly spoke: "Fans, hello everyone, I'm Zhao Mingji." Time flies, three years have passed in the blink of an eye. In the past three years, we have experienced a lot of ups and downs together. Here, thank you for your perseverance in allowing Turbo to be active for so long. If I could, I would like to be able to go on with you forever, forever and forever. But I'm really sorry, for various reasons, it's time to say zaijian."
"Having said this, I would like to thank Brother Zhong Guoge for taking care of me in the past three years. With his help, I was able to change from an ignorant ordinary person to a qualified singer and understand the true meaning of being a singer. Thank God that I have met such a haode person and been able to go through such a wonderful journey in my life. It's a pity that the music industry is changing too quickly, and after five years of TURBO, we are now feeling a little more and more struggling. We're finding that the music industry as a whole is moving in the opposite direction. If we continue in the form of turbo, we will really lose the glory of today forever."
"After consulting with the company and Zhong Guoge, we finally made the decision to dissolve in order to have a better future. I wish our company and Zhong Guoge a smooth sailing and successful career in the future."
"I also want to thank Executive Cui for retaining me, but I have always had the blood of music flowing in my heart. I always felt that I still belonged to that stage. At such a young age, it was an unacceptable decision to leave the place that carried my dreams. That's why I made the decision to terminate my contract with the company. I beg all fans to forgive me for my willful decision, and please look forward to my perfect return, and I hope you can like me and Zhong Guoge as much as you like Turbo from now on."
"Hehe, unconsciously said so much, it's time for the temporary zaijian. I needed to go back to my home in the U.S. for a while to rest, and after so long since my debut, I haven't been able to reunite with my parents. Take advantage of this opportunity to allow me to fulfill the filial piety of the Son of Man."
Zhao Mingji said this passage very slowly, choked up several times in the middle of the way, and even couldn't cry. Originally, it was not his will to quit, but he was forced by Cui Zhengyuan to record such a video letter, and he couldn't restrain the grievances in his heart. After watching this video, Zhao Mingji had a bitter and hateful expression, as if he was very reluctant to fans.
Where could the students present distinguish something, they had already been moved by Zhao Mingji's words, and they cried one by one.
In the video, Zhao Mingji stood up and solemnly bowed ninety degrees to the camera, barely squeezing out a smile to say goodbye.
The screen had gone black, and the delegates sitting across from Mr. Choi could not shake off their grief. He simply had plenty of time today, and he was very patient with them, without the slightest impatience.
Looking at the fans who were still sobbing, Cui Zhengyuan was also embarrassed. I'm about to embark on this road myself, and I wonder how many people will like themselves as much as they like turbo? Will they also be able to laugh at their success and grieve at their pain?
This is a group of lovely and pathetic people who, in their minds, are perfect beings who can do anything. Idols hold their beautiful sustenance for things and are their spiritual food. It's a pity that the aura of these idols often fades and disappears because of a word from high-level people. As a group of people who like them the most, they are also the most powerless people. There is nothing they can do but pain and helplessness.
As the boss, although I finally understood the inner shijie of these fans at this moment, I also had something called resonance. But he doesn't regret the decision he made, because there are many things on this shijie that can't be decided by human will.
He is deeply aware that the situation of turbo can only exist as history, and for the sake of Kim Jong Kook's future and the interests of A.P Company, there is nothing wrong with the choice he made.
Fortunately, he didn't have much time to sigh, and the assistant walked in and whispered in his ear. Cui Zhengyuan perked up, raised the volume and explained to these fan representatives: "Ladies and gentlemen, I have good news for everyone. Brother Zhong Guo learned that you rushed over for his business. He was so moved that he came here himself. In the next time, how about Brother Zhong Guoge to communicate with you?"
"Really, Zhong Guo Oba is coming"?
"Oh my God, isn't Brother Zhong Guo busy with a new song"?
All ten people were excited, although they were fans of Turbo, to be exact, they could be regarded as Kim Jong Kook's personal fans. After all, he is the captain and soul of Turbo, and without Kim Jong Kook, Turbo can't be called Turbo at all. On the contrary, whether it is Kim Jong-nam before or Cho Myung-ji later, neither of them can be compared with Kim Jong Kook. This is also the reason why Weishenme Cui Zhengyuan will urgently notify him to rush over, as long as he comes forward, all crisis situations can be solved perfectly.
Coming out of the conference room, Choi Jung-won met Kim Jong-kook, who was walking quickly.
"Zhengyuan, how's the situation? Did they make a big fuss? You didn't get hurt, did you?" The first thing Kim Jong Kook did was to care about Choi Jung-won's situation.
For this boss and younger brother, he cherishes it very much. In order to give him a haode prospect, he spared no effort to disband turbo. He also went all out to create a new album for himself, and mobilized most of the company's resources for the promotion of the new song. If a confidant dies, Kim Jong Kook has nothing to say.
"It's okay, brother, your fans are all very haode people. I just talked to them a little bit and it's stabilized. I believe that after you come forward, the matter will be almost solved." It was handled well just now, and Cui Zhengyuan was also very pleased. The tone was unconsciously a little proud and happy.
Kim Jong Kook took a closer look and made sure that Choi Jung-won was fine, and then he breathed a sigh of relief. "It's okay if you're fine, it's all because of me that the company is allowed to do this kind of thing." He's the kind of pure man who likes to resist himself no matter what.
Cui Zhengyuan said: "Brother, you can't say that for a while." I've already arranged for the disbandment of Turbo, and you have to be consistent with my rhetoric." Choi Jung-won gave a detailed briefing on the arrangement he had prepared and Kim Jong-kook, trying not to make mistakes or mistakes in the words of the two.
Kim Jong Kook hesitated and asked, "Isn't it a little bad for us to say that?" What if Mingji can't think about it and pokes out the basket when the time comes"?
"Brother, you have to believe in the company's ability, no one can ignore the company's decision." What Cui Zhengyuan said in this passage is categorical and unquestionable. The domineering and self-confidence of a superior person is revealed.
Kim Jong Kook suddenly looked at Cui Zhengyuan's face, and suddenly understood the meaning of what he said. For ordinary people like him, he still can't accept those more drastic methods, "Anyway, our colleagues hope that the company can treat him more preferentially."
Cui Zhengyuan put away his momentum and said with a smile: "Hello, I'm hello, everyone, I also hope that he can figure out his way out as soon as possible." Okay, let's go inside. Otherwise, your fans will be in a hurry, and they may riot." With that, he turned and left.
Looking at Choi Jung-won's upright back, Kim Jong Kook shook his head, he really didn't understand what these bosses thought. But he didn't have time to think about it, and after seeing Choi Jung-won walk away, Kim Jong Kook opened the door of the conference room and walked in.
He was greeted by the strongest cheers from the ten fans inside.
