Chapter 493: Lance returns
PS: xiexie civet cat, mistaken into the book? īšīŧ Tips!
On New Year's Day 2004, the Korean music scene suddenly became eerily quiet. It seems that all the horses are dark and gloomy.
It's not that the madness at the end of last year caused the music industry to be exhausted, but because one person is coming back.
There can be very popular kings and queens in the song world, and there can also be high-ranking seniors, but no one will admit that there is a king before that.
But the appearance of Cui Zhengyuan broke this convention.
After the return of Shijie, his momentum is enough to scare off anyone who wants to challenge.
No one will bump into him at this time without opening their eyes, because the degree of evil in this person is far greater than that of Lee Hyori.
I didn't see the album pre-sale appear on Melon's official website, and 350,000 copies were sold in an instant.
The enthusiasm of Korean fans for Choi Jung-won's first Korean-language album has taken everyone by surprise, and if this trend continues, the album sales champion in the new year will definitely appear at A.P.
For a while, the Korean music industry was full of mourning, and no one could think of a way to stop it.
Cui Zhengyuan can't manage so much, and arranges activities according to his own schedule.
Besides, he is just to give back to his fans, not to compete with others for something.
The "modest" executive Cui said that it is completely the love of fans to have such a rebellious achievement.
In short, throughout January, the people who can release songs are some independent musicians who are destined to be popular and bury themselves in creation.
These people don't care about grades, they just want to mix up or sell their music.
Not to mention, in this period when big things are avoiding it, they can be regarded as finding a good opportunity.
I didn't see that on the major music charts, except for the first three songs belonging to Cui Zhengyuan, some singers and works that could not be found in the top ten at all have rushed up to show off their might.
A few of them are familiar, and it's up to their own luck.
In addition to the song industry, he is the most nervous about Choi Jung-won's return. There are also the four major TV stations.
Choi Jung-won's return debut is definitely a great opportunity to hit the ratings. Whether it can refresh the new high ratings of Korean music programs depends on this experience.
For this reason, the four major ground broadcasts have come up with strange tricks one after another, just to win the favor of Executive Cui.
The first to go out was SBS.
There has been a stalemate with Choi Jung-won for a year, and SBS can't stand it first.
Although Choi Jung-won did not extend the contradiction to the company level, the artists of A.P Company were also worried when they appeared on SBS TV.
If it is not necessary, it is better to refuse.
In today's Korean entertainment industry, A.P Company has a large number of popular artists. As a result, these people faced an invitation from SBS. is able to hide and hide, which has caused a lot of passivity for this TV station.
Except for "Xman", "Love Letters", "Night Heart" and other shows hosted by A.P artists, other SBS parts have collapsed.
According to the latest survey, the new terrestrial broadcast HBC has successfully surpassed SBS's position in news reporting, social sentiment and TV dramas, and has risen to third place.
This reality also made SBS realize that if they continue to have a cold war with Choi Jung-won, they will lose even more. Therefore, the SBS Song Awards at the end of the year, which was the most suspenseful award in the outside world, was also awarded to Lee Hyori without hesitation.
Choi Jung-won also knows that this is a reconciliation signal given by SBS.
It's just freezing three feet, not a day's cold. There is still a long way to go to truly enable the two sides to cooperate again.
Therefore, this time he returned to the debut stage, and he first eliminated SBS.
Not only that, but this time he will not participate in a "Popular Ballad" of "Popular Songs".
If the SBS side sees that he does not react. If one of his is confiscated, then don't expect him to compromise in the future.
Of course, his debut was not taken for granted by HBC's "Yoraku Show", but MBC's "Music Center", which also has a good relationship with A.P. Company, got the big cake.
The reason why "Music Center" can outperform "Youle Show" on Mom's Stage. It's because they made an irresistible condition (three consecutive songs, plus a return to the special stage), and they also invited Park Geun-H and Na Jing-won as lobbyists.
Kim Kwang-so is such a small case. In front of the two big bosses, it is completely weak.
I can only watch with tears in my eyes as Choi Jung-won was snatched away by MBC without any way, and it was all tears when I said it.
Early in the morning of January 3, Cui Zhengyuan rushed to the Rishan Dream Center to prepare for the rehearsal of "Music Center".
In order to win the favor of Cui Zhengyuan, MBC has made great efforts. Including a separate luxury standby room and dedicated audio equipment, it is very well considered.
Even Kwon Sang-hoon, the head of MBC's program department, came from Yeouido to offer condolences and sent a basket of congratulatory flowers.
Although there are no popular singers returning this month, there are quite a few of the rest. Therefore, Korean music programs never worry about the performers, and they can be carried out however they want.
For example, who is in the singing period with Choi Jung-won, there are also veteran tort singer Song Daguan and Jang You-hyuk who came out of HOT, etc., all of whom belong to his predecessors.
So when he was putting on makeup, Cui Zhengyuan asked Zheng Xinghuai: "Brother, are you going to visit your seniors in a while?" â
Zheng Xinghuai leaned against the door frame and took a nap, not even opening his eyes. "You can't go, and you shouldn't go."
Cui Zhengyuan was stunned for a moment, feeling that this was inconsistent with the rules of the Korean entertainment industry he knew, so he asked: "Didn't you say that juniors generally have to ask Haode for their seniors?" Otherwise, wouldn't you be picked on? â
Zheng Xinghuai changed a comfortable posture and sneered: "Then who will be divided, if the other newcomers don't go, it's not as simple as picking thorns." But you are the executive director of A.P, although you are also a singer, but who dares to see you as an artist? You go to visit people, and don't you freak them out? â
"So stay like that?" Cui Zhengyuan scratched his head, a little confused.
Zheng Xinghuai smiled and comforted: "You just stay, don't worry, those who debuted earlier than you won't come to you." In this case, both sides should not know the best. If you meet in the background, just say hello normally. Don't be too polite. Otherwise, it will make the family uncomfortable. â
Choi Jung-won pursed his lips and laughed a little sarcastically.
It seems that the rules of the Korean entertainment industry are also bullshit, to put it bluntly, strength is respected.
When your strength and status reach a certain level, any rules are useless.
Choi Jung-won remembered what Rain once said in a show: It's not time for anyone to support me now.
In fact, because in the broadcast, Rain still said this sentence.
As the president of a company, he is a pivotal figure in the entertainment industry of any country.
No one should be disgraced.
Not to mention Cui Zhengyuan's luxurious background, who dares to provoke him?
Sure enough, just as Zheng Xinghuai said, from makeup to changing clothes, two hours passed. There was no incident of seniors coming to the gym to kick the gym.
But while he was waiting for the rehearsal, some newcomers came to visit one after another.
The first to enter his waiting room were five young boys who were tall but dressed in a somewhat non-mainstream manner.
From the moment they came in, Cui Zhengyuan recognized it.
Sitting on the sofa, watching the five boys stand in line nervously, and then greeted loudly in the captain's slogan: "Hello Lance seniors, we are the newcomer group TVXQ. â
looked at the five people in turn from left to right, and the four could vaguely recognize them, and the only fresh face should be the Korean-American Lin Zhengwen.
Cui Zhengyuan nodded, living the addiction of his predecessors with peace of mind. "Tell us about yourself. Although I have heard Director Li Xiuman talk about it, I have not matched the name and person. â
Hearing that Cui Zhengyuan and their teacher Li Xiuman had discussed themselves, the TVXQ five became even more nervous.
The person in front of him who is not much older than them is known as the "Hand of God" of the Korean entertainment industry. Artists and works that he has ordered and launched. There is nothing that is not popular.
I don't know how he once commented on himself and others in front of Teacher Li Xiuman?
Despite the twists and turns of their minds, the five boys did not dare to slack off. At that moment, the captain Jung Yun-ho took the lead and introduced himself in turn.
Looking at Zheng Yunhao, who looks similar to a Super Saiyan, Cui Zhengyuan smiled: "You are Zheng Yunhao." I know you're a great dancer. If there is an opportunity in the future, how about we cooperate? â
"Yay?" Jung Yun-ho's eyes were about to pop out. Unexpectedly, this legendary person who was at odds with his agency did not embarrass them, and sent out an invitation.
To be honest, if it weren't for the rules of the Korean entertainment industry that couldn't be violated, they really didn't want to visit Choi Jung-won.
This guy openly said on TV that he didn't like S.M., and God knows what kind of harassment he would get here.
But I didn't expect that the gap between reality and imagination was quite big, and the person in front of him not only did not do evil deeds, but on the contrary, he was very kind.
This time the invitation was issued, which stunned Zheng Yunhao, who usually has a big heart.
"What? You don't like working with me? Cui Zhengyuan, of course, knew what was going on, and asked deliberately teasingly.
"No, no, no, it's just too sudden, junior...... The younger generation is a little flattered. Thank you for the love of my predecessors, I will definitely do my best. Jung Yun-ho agreed with surprise and joy.
The other four teammates watched enviously from the side, with a sour taste in their hearts.
That's an international superstar, as long as they can cooperate once, it will be a big help to their popularity.
Zheng Yunhao was happy on the one hand, and on the other hand, he also received a hint from his agent before agreeing.
Otherwise, you will accept the invitation of the boss of the hostile company and wait to go back and endure the hardships.
"Okay, time is tight, I won't keep you. I hope to see you again in 10 or 20 years. Cui Zhengyuan saw PD walk in, and it was estimated that he came to notify them of the start of the rehearsal, so he began to send them away.
"Senior, please stay." The education of the S.M company was in place, and after the five of them bowed in unison, they walked backwards.
As soon as they reached the corridor outside, the five of them couldn't help but beat their hearts and take a deep breath.
The first time I saw such a famous senior, although they had been smiling and laughing, they were actually very nervous for a long time.
Shen Changmin turned around and saw that the waiting room was far away, and the agent was also far behind, and said in a voice that only five people could hear: "Lance seniors are very good, not as terrible as the teachers in the company said." â
Jung Yun-ho bumped him with his elbow and then whispered a warning to his teammates. "Don't talk nonsense when you go back, lest people talk too much and be listened to by the company. We are newcomers, and hard work is the most important thing. The rest has nothing to do with us, you know? â
Don't look at the fact that he has not been the captain for a long time, but he has an outstanding temperament and a very rigid personality, and he is very able to convince the public. So the four team members nodded in unison, indicating that they understood. (To be continued......)
