After the New Year, February is fast approaching.

The only big thing for A.P is Kim Jong Kook's return to his first album.

After Cui Zhengyuan participated in the celebration banquet of "Color is Empty", he hurried back to the company to monitor the data.

The film, which was delayed for more than a year before being released, achieved very good results. In the nearly one-and-a-half-month release time, a total of 7.85 million people have been achieved at the box office.

Considering that this is just an erotic comedy movie, it is very good to have this result. The most important thing is that compared to the box office, the evaluation of the outside world is very high.

Whether it is the quality of the movie itself, or the acting skills of several leading actors, it is eye-catching.

After Ren Changding bid farewell to the music world and turned his head to acting, he finally achieved a good result.

A "Color is Empty" began to let him touch the threshold of top actors, and I believe that as long as his future works maintain the standard, he will definitely be a hot name in the film industry.

Ha Ji Won has been chaotic for many years, and it finally shines. Although her acting skills are not mature enough, her fresh and refined image in the film has captured countless fans.

If you want to talk about this movie, she is the one who gets the most benefits.

At the celebration banquet that day, Cui Zhengyuan was poured a lot of wine by her.

In Ha Ji Won's words, Choi Jung-won really did what he said.

said that let her ascend to the sky in one step, and now it has become a reality.

Compared with Ha Ji Won's bitterness, Choi Jung-won is the happiest person.

At this time, A.P has three top actresses, and they are also the three most popular.

It's not that each of their works is so good, but the fame of these three.

Compared with Yan Zhenghua, Jeon Do-yeon, and Kim Ya, these three are the most internationally renowned Korean actresses.

In the future, if you want to cooperate with other countries and regions in film and television works, you will have to rely on them.

The only thing that displeased Choi Jung-won was that none of the actors in A.P Company had this ability. Whether it is Cha Tae-hyun or Won Bin or Hyun Bin, they are all empty names. But it is not recognized by peers in other regions.

And the competitive Li Bingxian, Zhang Dongjian, An Shengji and others are not just invited to join.

It depends on the growth of Lee Seung Gi and Lee Min Ho and others in the future, if there is no breakthrough, Choi Jung-won will give up this thought.

If you can't have any haode works, you have to perform them yourself. Even if he wanted to, he wouldn't be available.

With the smell of alcohol, Cui Zhengyuan felt the real-time data monitoring room of the sales department.

There, Han Sung-ho, Director of the Audiovisual Distribution Department Park Yong-ha, Director of the Planning Department Kwon Ji-young, and Kim Jong-kook were all there.

When he came in, the atmosphere was not very good, on the contrary, it was a little depressing.

"How's it going?" Choi Jung-won takes off his woolen coat. Throwing it to a staff member, he walked up to the crowd and asked.

Han Chenghao rubbed one hand on his face a few times, and said with a puzzled expression: "It's not good, it's not bad." It wasn't as good as we expected, but it wasn't too bad. ”

Cui Zhengyuan walked to the front of the computer and called up the data graph of the H list. found that Kim Jong Kook's second album is temporarily ranked second, and there is still a big gap with G.O.D in the first place.

But in the same way, there is also a big gap between the third-ranked Huixing and the distance.

Seeing that Kim Jong Kook's face was a little lost, Cui Zhengyuan smiled and comforted: "Brother." Don't worry, it's only been less than fifteen hours. What happens in the end depends on the next few days. ”

At this point, Kim Jong Kook can only use Choi Jung-won's words to talk about masturbation.

After all, it's been two years since I said goodbye to the entertainment industry. Although many of his fans remained, they lost even more.

Gathering popularity is a very difficult task, and if you want too much, Zuihou can only be disappointed.

Cui Zhengyuan also recalled it and found it in the original history. Kim Jong Kook's album sales are not very impressive. But the fame of "A Man" is unparalleled, and it is definitely the most recognizable song of 2004.

The sales champion in 2004 belonged to Xu Taizhi.

The return of the musical emperor after many years. It is definitely highly anticipated and expected.

Don't talk about Kim Jong Kook, even if Choi Jung-won encounters him, he may not be able to win steadily.

The second place is Lee so-young, who snatched the Lee Hyo-ri Award last year, this female singer whose strength is greater than her fame, ranked second with 380,000 sales.

After that, TVXQ, Huixing, and G.O.D. occupied the third, fourth, and fifth positions respectively. Kim Jong Kook landed in the front row, and there was no very bright sales data.

No, Cui Zhengyuan's comfort is really just comfort.

After the first week, Kim Jong Kook's album did not break out into any unnatural results. It is still ranked second in the sales list, far inferior to the national group G.O.D.

At this point, Kim Jong Kook was already a little discouraged.

Maybe his energy was exhausted in early 2001, and he may not be suitable for solo after leaving the group.

Even the evaluation of the outside world reflects this, and many media articles have pointed out that Cui Zhengyuan is a little eager for quick success.

In any case, Kim Jong Kook has bid farewell to the music scene for two years. In such a long time, the music model has changed a lot.

But Choi Jung-won didn't give Kim Jong Kook too much time to adapt, so he hastily launched the return work.

And unlike the image of the former Supreme of the Admiralty National Dance Music, it is obviously difficult for the public to accept it when it suddenly transforms into a lyric singer.

In other words, this time Kim Jong Kook was a complete failure.

As for when we will be able to get out of the trough, it depends on the opportunity.

The general perception of Kim Jong Kook by the outside world completely stimulated Choi Jung-won's self-esteem.

Since the establishment of the company, there has been no failed planning, which makes him unable to bear the comments of the outside world.

At this point, it's time to do something about it.

In the previous life, "A Man" was so famous?

It's not that Yoo Jae-seok and others have mentioned it on the show again and again, and with the addition of Kim Jong Kook and Yoon Eun-hye's loveline, it has become a well-known famous song.

Then there is Haha's imitation of Kim Jong Kook's classic songs, which also makes fans remember the former turbo.

With a multi-pronged approach, Kim Jong Kook was able to walk through the haze from 2001 to 2003 and soar into the sky.

In this life, the production power of "Xman" is in your own hands, wouldn't it be more convenient to do.

And so. Choi Jung-won summoned Yoo Jae-seok, Kang Ho-dong, Haha, and others to convey this instruction.

To promote his company's artists, and to be a close friend like Kim Jong Kook, Liu Jae-seok and others are naturally duty-bound.

After the new episode of "Xman" began to air, attentive viewers found that the number of times Kim Jong Kook was mentioned increased significantly.

After one episode of the show, his weight alone occupied about ten minutes.

Especially after Liu Zaishi and others relied on their incomplete voices and exemplary Kim Jong Kook's mosquito-style singing, it caused the audience to burst into laughter.

Choi Jung-won's method of operation is very effective, allowing Kim Jong Kook and "A Man" to appear on the search list without interruption. So. It also drove the sales of the second series.

As a result, a situation occurred that stunned Korean musicians and can no longer be replicated.

Hwangsung, who had just released the album, finally managed to squeeze out the sales champion position of G.O.D, but it was Kim Jong Kook who came in second place.

At this time, everyone had not noticed anything abnormal.

But what happened after that could be described as crazy.

The newcomer group TVXQ began to emerge after desperate activities.

In March, "HUG" began to gain momentum, surpassing Huixing for the first time to occupy the top spot in sales. But what makes people feel new is that the second place is still Kim Jong Kook.

In May. Kim Jong Kook has long since ended his singing period. But immediately after Lee so-young at the top of the list, he is still in second place.

And in June, the super god Xu Taizhi returned and fought all over the world. But. In second place is Kim Jong Kook.

By this time, everyone was speechless. Looking at the second place on the list, I was puzzled.

It's been more than four months since the album was released, and it still ranks second in a single month of sales. It's really frustrating.

But if everyone thinks that's the end of it, they're mistaken.

In the months that followed, whether it was the myth of leaving his old club and returning with seven volumes. is still a veteran singer Lee Seung-chul.

They may be able to dominate the top spot, but without exception, the second place always belongs to Kim Jong Kook.

It wasn't until October that Kim Jong Kook's second album began to heat up and gradually faded out of the charts.

In other words, Kim Jong Kook has been occupying the second place on the record sales chart for eight months since the album was released in February.

This achievement, which is absolutely unprecedented and unprecedented, has become a myth in the Korean music industry. It also accumulated enough popularity for Kim Jong Kook and laid a solid foundation for the outright outbreak in 2005.

By the end of the year, Kim Jong Kook's second series ranked sixth on the annual list with 284,000 copies.

The most important thing is that taking advantage of the time difference, Kim Jong Kook did not take one less in the singing show.

One of the two "Popular Songs", one of the three "Music Bank", one of the three "Music Center", and one of the four "Youle Show", the results are very good.

In other words, in addition to the sales champion, Kim Jong Kook's honor is as good as fame.

Unlike at the beginning of the year, when there was a decline in singing, at the end of the year, the critics began to turn en masse and sang praises for Kim Jong Kook.

What they don't know is that it is this practice of grass on the wall that will provide zuihou as the king of Kim Jong Kingdom in the coming year.

If these media who are not very related to A.P know that it is their help that has allowed Kim Jong Kook to reach the peak, how would they feel?

No, it also made Kim Jong Kook completely change his mood.

At the end of the year, I had a good banquet for Cui Zhengyuan, feeling the support of my dear brother boss.

Looking at Kim Jong Kook, who was smiling very satisfied, Choi Jung-won thought darkly. After winning all three awards next year, will Sparta cry with joy and cry on the podium? (To be continued......)
