Chapter Fifty-Nine: Two Calls

"Well behaved, Shengyuan!" In order to celebrate Jin Shengyuan's first successful hosting of the show, Jiang Hudong, Liu Zaishi and others specially prepared a banquet for Jin Shengyuan.

The atmosphere at the wine table was very relaxed, no one advised them to drink, everyone was at their own convenience, chatting casually about the dynamics of the entertainment industry, some interesting things when everyone recorded the show, etc.

Except for Jin Shengyuan, Jiang Hudong and they each have multiple programs and have a lot of contact with artists, but they are not gossipy people in private, and they never talk about the privacy of an artist.

After being full of wine and food, Jin Shengyuan was sent home by Jiang Hudong's assistant.

At this moment, the sky had just brightened, but Jin Shengyuan did not feel the slightest sleep-every time he drank alcohol, he would be very awake.

The first time he hosted the show, Kim Sung-won suffered some gains and losses - although it was not very serious, as long as he cared, he would inevitably have this kind of mentality. Worried about ratings, worried about how the audience perceives themselves...... Even Kim Sung-won, who was evaluated by Han Seung-ho as "self-centered", is no exception.

Just when Kim Sung-won was bored on the Internet, his mobile phone suddenly rang, and the ringtone of his mobile phone was the song "A Man" he created, and I have to admit that Kim Jong Kook performed this song perfectly.

"Brother Zhong Guo. Why would he call me at this time? The caller ID is none other than "a man" Kim Jong Kook.

Maybe it's Liliang of the song "A Man", Kim Jong Kook ran around in the second half of last year to ensure his reputation. Although he was teased about in various performances and entertainment programs, he always let everyone see him singing, and insisted on singing completely live and comfortable in music ranking programs. Viewers can see Kim Jong Kook on the weekend no matter which channel they go to, and that's what makes him really stand up.

"Brother Zhong Guo, hello," Jin Shengyuan said.

"Shengyuan, what are you doing?" Kim Jong Kook's unique voice sounded.

"I just came back from recording X-MAN, and I can't sleep and I'm surfing the Internet," Kim Sung-won said with a smile.

Speaking of which, Kim Jong Kook used to be a frequent visitor to X-MAN, but recently he has not appeared again because of his more schedules. Naturally, he didn't know about Kim Sung-won's election as an auxiliary MC of X-MAN.

"Oh," Kim Jong Kook paused, as if hesitating at something, but quickly continued, "Do you have time this afternoon?" Come to me and talk about my next album. ”

"OK, no problem." Jin Shengyuan readily agreed.

After three years of silence, Kim Jong Kook became a blockbuster in 2004 with a series of accolades for his efforts, including the GoldDisk PAVV Popular Singer Award, the Seoul Music Grand Prix, the SBS Song Festival Award, the KBS Music Festival Award, and the MBC10 Grand Song Festival Award.

However, Kim Jong Kook did not give himself the slightest time to rest, and now he has already started to prepare for his third solo album.

After the call with Kim Jong Kook, Kim Sung-won dialed Mr. Jung Joo-won and told him about it.

"Does Kim Jong Kook really agree to let your kid make a third album for him?" Zheng Zhuyuan was a little incredulous.

"I haven't said yes yet, but I think it's about the same." Jin Shengyuan said affirmatively.

Last year, he wrote a total of five songs, "I Don't Know Aiqing" and "Stay With You" were nominated for Best OST at the 2004 MKMF Awards, among which "Stay With You" won the award. The popularity of the song "A Man" even surpassed the title song of Kim Jong Kook's second album, laying the biggest cornerstone for him to win the three major radio awards. Nowadays, when it comes to Kim Jong Kook, everyone will directly call him "a man".

Not to mention the degree of singing of these songs, these honors alone are enough to prove Jin Shengyuan's creative strength. The only thing to worry about is whether Kim Sung-won is just as fleeting as a meteor, and he has not yet passed the test of time, so the media will only classify him as a "cutting-edge composer".

His music production ability has been reflected in the song "I Don't Know Aiqing yet", and with the control of his teacher Jung Joo-won, Kim Jong Kook is not too worried about this now.

"How can you be so sure?" Zheng Zhuyuan asked strangely.

"When Kim Jong Kook decided to include the song 'A Man' on his second album, I told him that this song would definitely surpass his title song and would win him the top three radio awards." The corners of Jin Shengyuan's mouth curled slightly and said.

"Really?" Zheng Zhuyuan was a little stunned, as a music producer, of course he already knew about Kim Jong Kook winning the song book award of the three major TV stations, but he didn't expect that Kim Sung-won had predicted this as early as a few months ago. …,

Winning an award is not just about the strength of a singer, but also about popularity, the strength of the brokerage company, and the relationship with the TV station. Although I don't know how Jin Shengyuan predicted this, it is an indisputable fact that he succeeded in predicting this.

"Are you a Taoist priest?" Zheng Zhuyuan said a little dazed.

Jin Shengyuan was speechless. He predicted that Kim Jong Kook would win the three major awards, not through the inspiration in his head, but after learning about Kim Jong Kook's experience, strength, and attitude towards music, after many references, he naturally came to a conclusion. Strictly speaking, it is not a "forecast", but a "speculation". Although the latter seems to be more scientific, it is not as accurate as the prediction of the brain.

But fortunately, Jin Shengyuan's speculation did succeed!

Kim Jong Kook has experienced the glory of the Turbo period, and also experienced the grain from 1998 to 2004, so his desire for the award is even stronger, which is the only affirmation of his strength.

This is the reason why Kim Jong Kook Zuihou decided to hand over the production of the third album to Kim Sung-won.

The purpose of Kim Sung-won calling Zheng Zhuyuan was to let him go with him, after all, he had no agent, and he was easily considered "easy to bully" by Kim Jong-kook's economic company.

And making Kim Jong Kook's third album wasn't just a musical thing, it was a big deal financially. With Zheng Zhuyuan here, Jin Shengyuan will have a lot more confidence when he talks about the conditions. Jin Shengyuan has learned about the "name" of Mr. Zheng Zhuyuan from the outside world - he is called an "old monster" by many old music companies.

After Jin Shengyuan and Zheng Zhuyuan made an appointment, they just hung up the phone when the ringtone rang again.

"Why are there so many calls all of a sudden today?" Jin Shengyuan picked up the phone again with some strangeness. On weekdays, Jin Shengyuan rarely contacts friends by phone, and usually sends text messages, but he didn't expect to connect to two phone calls today.

"Geun Young, what's the matter with you?" Jin Shengyuan asked. Although he and Wen Genying don't talk on the phone often, they often communicate through text messages, and the two often chat online, so they are already very familiar.

"Can't I talk to you if it's okay? What were you doing, why didn't you get through on the phone? Wen Genying said viciously, but his voice was a little weak.

"Of course it's a call if you can't get through, but who are you angry about?" Kim Sung-won rarely heard Wen Geun-young's tone, and although the two didn't talk much, Moon Geun-young spoke casually in his daily chat with Kim Sung-won, but he was always very polite.

"No, I'm just a little tired." After Wen Genying's voice was lowered, he revealed a thick tiredness.

"You're not an adult, what are you doing so hard? Acting skills are not something that can be honed in a day or two. Jin Shengyuan persuaded.

On November 17 last year, Moon Geun-young made a special phone call to tell Kim Sung-won that she would start a "dance journey" - as the heroine of the movie "The Innocence of the Dancer".

This film is the third juvenile work of the production company of "My Little Bride", and the heroine has not been selected until Moon Geun-young sees the script and implores the company to let herself play it.

At that time, Moon Geun excitedly told Kim Sung-won how much she liked the script, and told him the entire synopsis of the story, and the result was that Kim Sung-won's mobile phone card was directly blown up that day.

"How can you hone your acting skills without putting in the effort?" Wen Geunying retorted unceremoniously, "I'm fine, I'm just a little tired, so I'll call you during the break, who makes you the best at coaxing girls!" ”

Jin Shengyuan didn't care about Wen Genying's ridicule, but asked, "Just finished practicing dance?" ”

Due to the needs of the movie, Wen Genying must have very good dancing skills, and Wen Genying has never studied dance before, and her physical flexibility is also average. To do this, she does flexibility training every night and early morning.

"Hmm," Wen Genying's voice was a little nasal.

"Got a cold? You're not going to sit on the floor and talk to me again, are you? Wouldn't it be possible to sit on the couch with a few extra steps? Jin Shengyuan said to her, this is not the first time Wen Genying has done this.

"I didn't have a cold, just a little sleepy," Moon said, yawning, and then there was a sound of tapping footsteps on the phone.

"Haven't you learned how to sleep yet?" Kim Sung-won refers to his own method of "deep sleep".

"What's that weird way of yours? How can anyone pay so much attention to sleeping, and also regulate the way of breathing. Moon Geun-young complained.

"That's because you didn't have good sleeping habits before." Jin Shengyuan said, "Isn't there a little effect? ”

"It's a little bit of an effect," said Moon Geun-young, who didn't sleep the way Kim Sung-won said, she had to practice dancing for ten hours a day and shoot movies, so she would fall asleep for three or two minutes every time she lay in bed.

"When you're growing your body, you can't sleep more, then eat more, it's best to eat more Chinese food, and have a balanced diet," Kim Sung-won also understood that Moon Geun-young was mostly deceiving himself, but he couldn't be as strict and demanding as he was with Xu Ju-hyun, after all, he and Moon Geun-young were just good friends.

"Well, I found that you have a lot of potential to be a nanny, and listening to your nagging every morning will make me feel much better." Wen Genying said with a grin.

"I'm already a babysitter for six little girls!" Jin Shengyuan could only think in his heart, and continued to tell Wen Genying a few words before hanging up the phone.

Wen Genying has a very special relationship with him, the two have only met twice, and after the scandal, the two have not been in contact again. But Jin Shengyuan sent a short message to greet him during the Mid-Autumn Festival, and Wen Genying actually sent a text message back to ask about his current situation.

After going back and forth, the two gradually became acquainted, until he became one of the few close friends of Wen Genying.
