Chapter 253: Album Celebration Banquet (I)
In the evening, CJ Tower, Namdaemun, Seoul.
Lee Jae-hyun frowned, holding a cigarette between his fingers, walking back and forth in his spacious office, after walking a few steps, it seemed that he had something in his mind, subconsciously raised his hand to smoke, took two puffs before he realized that he hadn't lit the cigarette yet, couldn't help but smile bitterly and shook his head, secretly laughing at his gaffe.
"Knock knock!"
There was a knock on the office door, but before Lee Jae-hyun could speak, the person outside the door took the initiative to push the door in, as if he understood Lee Jae-hyun's anxious mood at the moment.
"President, the things have been obtained, everything is ready!" Hong Shuguo bowed to Lee Jae-hyun and handed over a voice recorder and a CD.
After Lee Jae-hyun heard Hong Shuguo's report, his eyes suddenly lit up, but he quickly picked up his exposed emotions and said softly: "Put things down!" ”
As he spoke, he glanced at the things on the desk, his face changed, and a fierce momentum instantly burst out from him, staring at Hong Shuguo like a beast and asking, "That's it?" ”
Hong Shuguo's whole body trembled, and he immediately realized what Lee Jae-hyun was asking, and hurriedly bowed his head and said, "President, this is it!" Just lowered his eyes, his gaze flickered a few times quickly.
Li Zaixian stared at Hong Shuguo motionless for more than a minute, he followed him for almost ten years, thinking of this, he slowly reined in the terrifying spirit around him, and explained with a long sigh of relief: "Shuguo, don't blame me, we are teasing a real tiger, no one knows when he will react, let alone what he will do!" ”
said. Lee Jae-hyun closed his eyes gently, and his cheeks twitched imperceptibly. These two things are not only killer features, but also his self-preservation capital.
Hong Shuguo couldn't help but tremble lightly all over his body again. Secretly gritted his teeth and asked, "President, what should I do next?" ”
The atmosphere in the office was depressed to a critical point, and the tension was so tense that it was already out of breath, and Lee Jae-hyun sat motionless in his chair with his eyes closed as if he hadn't heard anything. He can't help but be careful, because he knows that some people are not something he can tease at will, such as Jin Shichang!
Even if he just wanted to test Jin Shichang's position, and even did all the aftermath work, as long as Lee Jae-hyun couldn't figure out Nie Zirun's status in Jin Shichang's mind for a day. He had to be careful, and once he did, he would be in trouble.
Just like the disc in front of him, he didn't intend to let it see the light easily, and this recorder, which was his talisman, he would never use them until Zuihou saw it.
Everything can only rely on yourself, and taking a wrong step is an abyss. My uncle may not be able to lend a hand!
After being silent for about a quarter of an hour, Lee Jae-hyun opened his eyes with a slightly complicated expression and said, "Report a few of the painless things that have been collected first, bake him, and see how he reacts." That Huang Canxi also controlled it for me, he was still useful! After a pause, he instructed with some anxiety: "You can do these things yourself." Remember to keep an eye on it and report to me at any time on the movements of the Jin family. By the way, every press release that goes out must be read by me first! ”
"Yes. President, I'll do it! Hong Shuguo replied in a deep voice as usual, but a thick chill welled up in his heart, and after sneaking a glance at the recorder and CD on the table, he left the office with a resolute expression.
At the same time, at the VIP entrance of a luxury club in Jung-gu, Seoul, Nie Zirun was dressed in formal clothes and greeted every guest with a smile on his face.
Today is the celebration of the sale of his first album, which has been sold for two and a half months, and has reached a staggering 170,000 copies, beating all the singers and groups that have released albums this year, aiming for the Golden Disc Awards at the end of the year.
In the depressed Korean record market in 2007, especially as a newcomer, Nie Zirun's achievements were enough to shock the attention of the entire music industry, and it is not surprising that S.M Company held a celebration banquet for him with such fanfare.
Outside the door of the club, a large number of fans and hundreds of reporters who heard the news blocked the gate of the club, and the cameras in their hands were busy all the time, looking at the heavyweight figures who walked into the door from time to time, every reporter couldn't help but secretly speak, as if he had only debuted for three months, and this network was about to catch up with those veteran first-line big names.
"Sister Cai Yan, I really didn't expect you to come!"
As soon as Nie Zirun sent Che Taixian and Zhang He in, he turned around and saw Cai Yan's sexy and slender figure, and immediately greeted him with a look of surprise.
Although the company has sent a lot of invitations, but because of their respective schedules, especially the album sales celebration banquet, it is estimated that there may not be thirty percent of the people who can really come, especially those artists who are active as singers, although the face-to-face relationship is not bad, but if they lose to a newcomer, there will be some little resistance and jealousy in their hearts! In addition to Kim Tae-hee and those close relatives and friends, it is estimated that S.M's artists will be the main ones who will support the scene.
"What? You think I'm going to be jealous so I won't come? Cai Yan covered her mouth and smiled, her charming eyes glanced at Nie Zirun and teased, once she is synonymous with sexy, she will show her straightforwardness and pride in her personality unabashedly.
"Don't dare, don't dare, how can I compare with Sister Cai Yan with this achievement!" Nie Zirun hurriedly waved his hand embarrassedly and modestly, and said with a smile: "Sister Cai Yan, let's go sit down for a while, there will be a while to open the table!" ”
Cai Yan swept her head into the main banquet hall, and at a glance, she saw Cha Taehyun's figure who was giggling not far away, and immediately shook her head with a look of "embarrassment" and said, "I'd better wait outside for the favor first!" ”
“haha!”
Nie Zirun smiled understandingly, nodded and said, "It's okay, Sister Enhui is rushing over from the set." I guess it's almost there! As he spoke, he winked with a wicked smile. led Cai Yan to the dim sum area on the side of the hall, it seems that there are not a few people in the circle who are afraid of Che Taixian's "poisonous mouth".
Just finished entertaining Cai Yan. I heard a huge cheer outside the door of the clubhouse, and within a few minutes, another sexy super diva in South Korea, Lee Hyo-ri, also appeared in a bright evening dress.
"Sister Xiaoli, welcome!" Nie Zirun greeted him with a gentle smile.
"Zirun, congratulations, 170,000 tst, are you planning to break 200,000?" Li Xiaoli squeezed the crescent moon and smiled, stepped forward and hugged Nie Zirun lightly to congratulate.
Nie Zirun smacked his lips and smiled bitterly: "Sister Xiaoli, don't make fun of me." Album sales depend on the first month, I'm lucky to be able to sell for two months, 200,000 copies is unrealistic! Indeed, after entering June, Nie Zirun's album sales increased by less than 3,000 copies, and it is estimated that it will continue to shrink in the next time.
Li Xiaoli smiled charmingly, suddenly slammed his fist into Nie Zirun's chest, and said domineeringly: "Ah, you are Nie Zirun." Have faith in yourself, and I'll be waiting for your title song to compete with others next year! As he spoke, he glanced at Nie Zirun's injured left hand again, and asked with concern, "Is your hand okay?" ”
Nie Zirun shook his head with a smile. He pointed to the main banquet hall and said, "Sister Xiaoli, go in and rest, Brother Taixian and Brother He are already here!" ”
"They're all here? Then I'll go in first. Remember to pour them both for me later! ”
Li Xiaoli's eyes lit up, and he patted Nie Zirun's shoulder and lifted the hem of his skirt. Running towards Cha Tae-hyun with her head held high, she is the invincible Lee Hyo-ri in the world. How can you be afraid of Cha Taixian?
Not long after Lee Hyo-ri entered, Yoon Eun-hye arrived on the back foot, beckoning Chae Yeon-gang and Nie Zi-run to chat a few words, Ha Ji Won, Kim Ah-jung, Kim Tae-hee, Lee Wan, and Park Shin-hye all appeared one after another, and the most surprising thing for Nie Zirun was that Lee Ji-woo actually came with Kim Tae-hee.
Today's Li Zhiyou is wearing a plain dress with lace, and a purple silk scarf is tied on her slender jade neck as usual, dignified and elegant, coupled with a devilish model figure and an angelic face, even if she is standing in a crowd of first-line big-name actresses competing for beauty, she can't hide her dazzling brilliance at all.
"Zhiyou, I didn't expect you to come too!" Nie Zirun greeted Li Zhiyou with a gentle and elegant smile, and looked at what she was wearing today, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes, and he nodded slightly unconsciously.
"Zirun oppa, congratulations!"
Li Zhiyou raised a slightly shy smile, Nie Zirun's appreciative eyes did not escape her eyes, and she couldn't help but feel a little excited in her heart, and she took the initiative to hug him lightly.
“xiexie!”
Nie Zirun smelled the faint fragrance of orchids on the tip of his nose, felt the sudden soft squeeze on his chest, his body suddenly stiffened, and his expression was a little unnatural.
"Poof!"
Looking at Nie Zirun's squirming expression, Li Zhiyou couldn't help but chuckle, the joy in his heart increased a little more, and when his eyes flickered, he saw the white gauze wrapped around his left hand, and asked softly with a concerned face: "Zirun oppa, does your hand still hurt?" As he spoke, he unconsciously wanted to raise his hand to grab his wrist.
Li Zhiyou's initiative and enthusiasm made Nie Zirun quite unaccustomed for a while, and in a panic, he was looking for an opportunity to open up the too intimate distance between the two, when he heard a few crisp shouts suddenly sounded behind him.
“oppa!”
Nie Zirun turned his head when he heard the sound, and at a glance he saw Liu Chengmin leading Taeyeon and the others to appear, a warm smile immediately appeared on his face, and he raised his hand to signal them to come over, but when he saw the cold figure shrunk in Zuihou, his pupils shrank significantly, and his smile became a little dim.
Taeyeon and the others were picked up by Yoo Seung-min from the parking lot directly through the side door, so Nie Zirun didn't notice them at the first time.
As soon as the girls entered the side door of the hall, they saw a very intimate move between Nie Zirun and Li Zhiyou from afar. In an instant, a strong hostile instinct emanated from them, no matter what the purpose and idea was, they all wanted to destroy it in their minds, so several people shouted at Nie Zirun at the same time.
With Nie Zirun's beckon, Taeyeon and the others immediately burst into coquettish smiles and rushed up, counting Zheng Xiujing and Cui Xueli. The 11 people surrounded Nie Zirun with a hula, and unknowingly squeezed Li Zhiyou out of the circle.
“oppa。 How's your hand recovering? ”
"You're dressed so handsome today!"
"Oppa, it's been a long time since you've come to see us!"
The women hadn't seen Nie Zirun for many days. As soon as we met, there seemed to be endless words, and I chattered non-stop.
"Ah, haven't you seen so many seniors here? Don't go and salute yet! Nie Zirun deliberately straightened his face, and while reminding the women, he cast an apologetic look at Li Zhiyou. Lee Ji smiled and shook his head understandingly, and then walked towards Kim Tae-hee and the others who were chatting on the side.
Taeyeon and the others playfully stuck out their tongues, secretly glanced at Lee Ji-woo, who had already walked away, and hurriedly and obediently saluted the seniors around them one by one. It's not the first time I've seen Taeyeon here, and they've had a few conversations to a lesser or lesser extent. Coupled with Nie Zirun's relationship there, for a while, with the addition of all the women, the atmosphere in the dim sum area became lively.
"Zirun oppa, is the injury on your hand better? Don't call your sister, she's been worried about you for days! The eccentric Zheng Xiujing dragged Zheng Xiuyan, who had an unnatural face, and took advantage of the fact that the others had not come back, and the first one stuck back to Nie Zirun's side, and her small mouth was both concerned and complaining. As he spoke, he secretly dragged his sister behind him.
Zheng Xiuyan wore a snow-white long-sleeved lace spun top today, and a knee-length pink skirt underneath, revealing her smooth and round calves. Paired with a pair of white stiletto sandals tied to the wrists, the whole person looks extremely tall and graceful.
After discovering that Zheng Xiujing was working hard to create opportunities for herself, she glanced at Nie Zirun with a worried expression. Summoning up the courage of his whole body, he whispered, "Oppa, does your hand still hurt?" "Finished. He quickly lowered his head with a weak heart, quietly waiting for Nie Zirun's response.
"It's all right. You go get something to eat first, and I'll go greet the seniors! Nie Zirun tried his best to control the emotions in his heart, and after a simple response, he didn't even dare to look at Zheng Xiuyan, and immediately turned around and left.
He really hasn't figured out what attitude to use to face her in the future, let alone what to do next, he only knows that if he stays in front of her for another second, he is afraid that he will scare her out of shape.
Zheng Xiuyan was in an extremely sensitive state at this time, and she instantly noticed the evasion and coldness hidden in Nie Zirun's words and deeds, only to feel that her heart was pounding, her small mouth opened slightly, and her eyes were wide and motionless staring at the figure he walked away, and gradually, the white teeth bit her lower lip, which had lost her blood, and her face became more and more pale.
He's changed!
That strong pampering and pampering is gone, he wasn't like this, did he still misunderstand the thing about going out with Kim Jae-jung that day? Or has he already found out? Zheng Xiuyan subconsciously looked at her tight wrists that were covered by fluffy lace cuffs
"Sister, Zirun Oppa must be too busy, so many seniors are here, today he is the protagonist!" Zheng Xiujing saw her sister's bleak and shaky look, and hurriedly supported her and comforted her.
Zheng Xiuyan hung her head weakly, her beautiful eyes were shining, how to explain to him? She hated herself for going out with a bracelet that day, and if time could be reversed, she would really be willing to trade everything she had
Not far away, Yoo Seung-min stood in the corridor and watched this scene quietly, sighing deeply, things will develop like this, looking at Zheng Xiuyan's reaction, it shouldn't be like this! Thinking about it, he turned his head to look at Nie Zirun on the other side, and after thinking for a while, he raised his legs and walked over
The popularity of the dim sum area has become more and more vigorous, and after a while, all the members of BIGBANG and wonder.girls arrived, whether it was out of friendship or Nie Zirun's help to them, they would not be absent today no matter what.
Immediately afterwards, all the members of Heavenly Zhixi, Kim Hee-cheol, Choi Si-won, Prodigy, Litt and Han Geng also appeared together on behalf of SJ, and then TVXQ represented by Jung Yoon-ho and Shim Chang-min, as well as S.M's ancestor idol An Qixuan followed one after another, it can be said that in addition to BoA, who is still in Japan, all the first-line artists of S.M Company appeared on the scene.
Affected by the warm atmosphere outside, Cha Tae-hyun, Lee Hyo-ri, Jang Hyuk and others, who were already sitting in the main banquet hall, also ran out. They were chatting with acquaintances, and the dim sum area was full of stars for a while. That scene is almost in time for the TV awards feast at the end of the year.
"Ah, did you get a call from Kyuhyun? That kid can already get out of bed and move! Kim Hee-cheol said with a smile.
"And Qiangren. Yinhe, they should have taken the phone, right? They said they were afraid that they wouldn't be able to sit down, so they didn't come! Choi Si Won added with a grin.
"Really? Na Kyuhyun shouldn't be far from a comeback! When the time comes, I will slaughter him, a life-saving grace! ”
"They all took the phone, what does it mean to not be able to sit down, obviously greedy for money and reluctant to travel, and I didn't pay for it!" Nie Zirun greeted everyone one by one with a smile, joking from time to time, and the scene was quite lively.
"Zirun. Congratulations! I'm sorry, they can't get out of a few trips, and it's not convenient to go out in the middle, I hope you can understand! Zheng Yunhao led Shen Changmin to come up and explained to Nie Zirun apologetically. Kim Jae-jung has been grounded by the company for the past two days, and when he is mentioned, both of them are a little embarrassed, and they both know some of the reasons.
"It's okay, I'm honored to have my seniors here!" Nie Zirun smiled generously. Shaking hands with Zheng Yunhao warmly, although he felt uncomfortable, the matter had nothing to do with Zheng Yunhao and them, and he was not a chicken belly person.
"Congratulations. Call me Changmin, it's all the same company, I'm really a little uncomfortable! Seeing that SJ and Nie Zirun beside him were very familiar. On his side, he was greeted by his predecessors and juniors, and Shen Changmin took the initiative to hug Nie Zirun. Try to improve the relationship with Nie Zirun, public and private. They should all take the lead as seniors......
"That's right, just call them Yoonho and Changmin!" Jin Xiche said with a smile on the side, he didn't want Nie Zirun to have a stiff relationship with TVXQ because of the relationship, so he tried his best to enliven the atmosphere for the two parties.
"Okay, a few more drinks later!" Nie Zirun agreed with a smile, found a random topic, and talked to a few people.
"Haha!"
With a burst of deafening laughter, Jiang Hudong's burly figure was the first to appear in everyone's sight, and Liu Jae-seok and Kim Jidong's figures also appeared together, and the three major mountains in the Korean variety show industry actually appeared together.
The appearance of the three people immediately attracted the attention of the audience, and everyone moved their steps to take the initiative to get out of the way, and greeted the three enthusiastically one after another.
Nowadays, the variety show sector has a faint sign of rising, and its influence among the people is getting bigger and bigger, the ratings of the two outdoor variety shows "Two Days and One Night" and "Infinite Challenge" are higher than the cleaning rate of most serials, and some high-rated indoor variety shows of the three major TV stations are mostly controlled by the three people in front of them.
It is no exaggeration to say that in this fiercely competitive and cruel industry, except for a few top brands that have strong appeal in their own right, almost all Korean artists can't escape the palms of these three during the promotion period of the event. Therefore, it is not at all surprising that such an attitude would be felt by those present is just an instinctive natural reaction.
"Ah, when are you coming to "Two Days and One Night"? You said that the second half of the year is still a few days before the second half of the year! After greeting the others for a while, Jiang Hudong was the first to walk up to Nie Zirun, raised his hand and patted Nie Zirun's shoulder, bluffing the black-faced Jiashi who was quite dissatisfied, that is, Nie Zirun's body was quite strong, and if he was an ordinary person, he would have been patted down a long time ago.
"Haha, Hudong OPPA is jealous again!"
Li Xiaoli stood aside and immediately stroked his palms and laughed, Nie Zirun had an uninhabited island special, creating a high record of an average rating of more than 20% and an instant rating of more than 25%, and for a time topped all the variety show ratings in South Korea at this stage, "Two Days and One Night" was severely suppressed, and if there was no response, he would not be called Jiang Hudong.
Jiang Hudong's head flickered, and he shouted in a loud voice: "Am I jealous? This kid is really suitable for our "Two Days and One Night", as long as he goes, there are definitely a lot of highlights, I am playing his specialty! As he spoke, he raised his big fan-like hand, hugged Nie Zirun and squeezed his little eyes temptingly: "Zirun, let's try it, once your album sales will definitely break 200,000, your benefits are indispensable!" ”
Nie Zirun rolled his eyelids, turned his head to look at Jiang Hudong, who looked eager, shook his head and said disdainfully: "What's the benefit, drinking raw fish juice, or being stripped naked into the water?" I don't even have enough to eat, I'd rather not have 200,000 sales than suffer from it! As he spoke, he quickly broke away from Jiang Hudong's arm with a disgusted expression, intending to hide far away. The environment required it, and he had to force himself to perform a variety show.
“haha!”
There was a burst of laughter around, and at this time, Liu Jae-seok and Kim Ji-dong also surrounded them.
"Zirun, come to my "Star Admiralty", study at Seoul University, be proficient in six languages, and scare those writers to death for my brother!" Jin Jidong squeezed his eyes, which were not much bigger than Jiang Hudong, showed two rabbit teeth, and was ready to come up and cut off his beard with a smile.
"Come to my "Night Heart", I heard that you haven't been in love yet? Brother prepares an issue on the topic of love for you, we will solicit answers, discuss it well, or introduce you to a beautiful woman, who do you want the female guest to be? Brother will definitely help you please come over! Jiang Hudong saw that Jin Jidong was going to rob someone, so he immediately changed the bait unwillingly, and in a blink of an eye, he took out his other hand of "matchmaker" stunt.
Liu Zaishi on the side proudly grabbed Nie Zirun's shoulder, and said with a smile: "Take a good rest for a few days, and come to my brother anytime if you want to be on the show!" "Jiashi, who is completely angry and unworthy, has been to his "Happy.Together" and "Infinite Challenge" Nie Zirun.
For a while, the three major hosts circled around Nie Zirun, blushing and thick-necked, and seemed to be begging him to be on his own show. Such a scene made the surrounding guests quite surprised, jealousy is not enough, but surprise is definitely indispensable. The show hosted by these three is not something that can be on it if you want to, there is no popularity and strength, even if you try your best to get up, it is also a role that is edited as a vase.
However, the guests calmed down and thought about it carefully, and quickly figured out the reason, which is because Nie Zirun is the protagonist today, and the three of them are coaxing together, and there is also the reason why Nie Zirun's personal strength is excellent and the sense of variety show is full, which makes the three of them love talents.
The most important thing is that their personal relationship is quite good, and it is not surprising what kind of jokes and deeds appear in this kind of non-public occasion, and the people around them basically belong to a circle, and no one will say much.
With the addition of the three famous mouths, the warm atmosphere in the hall rose again, and the three of them sang and I appeared, taking turns to adjust the atmosphere around them, not only taking care of everyone present, but also repeatedly teasing the protagonist Nie Zirun with "sharp" words, wanting to drag him into the water.
It's a pity that Nie Zirun is really not in a state today, most of the time he is smiling and responding to the peace, or directly raising his hand to say mercy, and he did not participate too much in the wonderful "battle of words" of several people.
After a while, Kim Young-min, as a representative of S.M Company, also rushed in time, and after a brief celebratory speech, Nie Zirun's debut album celebration banquet finally opened (to be continued......
PS: The more you change, the more you change, just make a big chapter! Ask for two recommendation votes, the wheel will sort out the recent outline tonight, at the critical moment, I'm really afraid that I will write crookedly! The September update will be normal, don't worry!
