Chapter 39: Shen Zhi

As the temperature gradually cooled, "Paris Lovers" and "Full House of Romance" finally came to an end. The former created a 56.3% rating of Zuihou's first episode, second only to the highest rating of 57.8% for "Dae Jang Geum". "Full House" also had the highest rating of 47%, which can be called the only two TV dramas in South Korea in the second half of 2004, and when the curtain ended, many loyal viewers shed tears.

There are countless opinions on the Internet analyzing the reasons for the success of these two TV series, ranging from directors, scripts to actors, etc., but the only thing the two have in common is that the theme songs of both TV series were composed by Kim Sung-won. It's just that the theme song and ending song of "Paris Lovers" were both composed by Kim Sung-won, while "Full House of Romance" only had the theme song composed by Kim Sung-won, so the ratings of the latter would not be as good as the former.

Of course, this is just a spoof on the Internet, and no media or newspaper will absurdly implicate the success of the two "national TV dramas" with the authors of the theme songs.

However, these media did not hesitate to praise the success of the three OSTs composed by Kim Sung-won, all of which were on the list of the most popular songs of 2004, including the mythical "BrandNew", TVXQ's "Hug", etc., and Kim Jong Kook's "A Man" also occupied a spot.

As a result, four of the most popular songs in 2004 were written and composed by Kim Sung-won.

Many media paid great attention to this "newcomer" who suddenly appeared, but Kim Sung-won would never appear in the media's field of vision except for participating in the filming of SBS radio station X-MAN, and refused interviews with many media, and was called by the media as "weird-tempered" as his music teacher Zheng Zhuyuan.

But no matter what, many media still put the title of the most powerful "new composer" in 2004 on Jin Shengyuan's head, after all, the Internet is so developed now, and it is impossible for the media to hide his achievements.

And Jin Shengyuan had to be dragged by Jiang Hudong to drink again after recording the show.

"It's rare that my brother has no itinerary today, and it's raining, so it's the best time to drink." Jiang Hudong pulled Jin Shengyuan into his car and said.

"Brother, what's the point of two big men drinking together?" After more than half a year of getting along, Jin Shengyuan has become very close to Jiang Hudong, and his words and deeds are much more casual.

"Ah, I can't see your ......," Jiang Hudong made a mocking look and pointed at Jin Shengyuan and said.

And Jin Shengyuan had a look of "Anyway, there is no one else here, whatever you say".

"You kid, you always have a humble and polite style in the show, I didn't expect to have such a reckless side," Jiang Hudong patted Jin Shengyuan on the shoulder and said.

"But, brother, how can I drink with you alone? I've invited someone to make sure you're having a good time when the time comes. Jiang Hudong obviously also knew that it was impossible for him to get drunk with Jin Shengyuan with his alcohol consumption, and said with a mysterious expression.

Jin Shengyuan opened the car window a gap, enjoying the cool wind and rain blowing in, ignoring Jiang Hudong's pretense of mystery.

"Yikes! How can I say that it's also your brother, can you give me some face? Jiang Hudong shouted helplessly.

"Yes, Brother Hudong, which celebrity did you invite to come?" Jin Shengyuan asked weakly.

"You would never have thought of this person, it's a female artist! And strictly speaking, I came through Zhong Min's invitation. Jiang Hudong introduced with great interest.

"Invited by Brother Zhong Min? Female entertainers? Drink? Jin Shengyuan thought for a while, then straightened his body and said to Jiang Hudong: "Brother Hudong, aren't you afraid that she will get you drunk too?" I don't drink as much as you think! ”

"Huh?" Jiang Hudong was stunned for a moment, scratched his head fiercely, and asked with some hesitation: "Are you lying to my brother again?" ”

"What am I lying to my brother for? I really didn't drink too much, and I was already a little drunk when I left last time," Jin Shengyuan said with a serious face.

"I'm going to text Zhong Min right now and tell him not to come over." When Jiang Hudong heard this, he no longer paid attention to Jin Shengyuan, and quickly took out his mobile phone and prepared to send a text message to Jin Zhongmin.

"Dudu ......" Jiang Hudong just pressed two words, and received a text message prompt.

"It's over, Zhong Min and they have already come." Jiang Hudong read the text message and said to Jin Shengyuan.

"Brother Zhong Min, they are at their peak this year, and the announcements are constant, how can they have time to drink with their brother?" Jin Shengyuan asked strangely. …,

"I was just on the radio and happened to see Zhong Min in the lounge, so I asked, it just so happened that they had no itinerary after recording the show today," Jiang Hudong explained.

"Hey," Jin Shengyuan sighed, patted Jiang Hudong's shoulder, and said, "Brother Hudong, you can ask for more blessings." ”

……

SBS Radio, after Kim Jong-min finished recording the program, he pulled Shin Ji of the same group to Kang Ho-dong's barbecue restaurant.

"Brother Zhong Min, why do you still have to run to drink after a rare day off?" Shin Ji asked Kim Jong-min that the relationship between the two was not just a member of the same group, but more like a brother and sister, except that most of the time the younger sister took care of the elder brother.

Shin Ji called Kim Jong-min "brother", not an honorific title, but an intimate title.

Today, Shin Ji and the others rarely had a half-day rest, but they were dragged by Kim Jong-min to drink without any explanation. Only Kim Jong-min would do such a brainless thing, and only Shin Ji would accommodate him without care.

"Brother Hu Dong invited me to drink together," Kim Jong-min explained to Shin Ji at this time, "Last time, Brother Hu Dong and we wanted to get drunk with Kim Sung-won, but he received a phone call and ran away. ”

Kim Jong-min hurt his head when he was a child, so he didn't speak very clearly, so he rarely said long sentences in the show, but after a few years of tacit understanding, Shin Ji can fully understand Kim Jong-min's words. When Kim Jong-min communicates with outsiders, as long as Shin Ji is on his side, he will convey his meaning to the other party on behalf of Kim Jong-min.

"Kim Sung-won's predecessor in X-MAN?" Shin Ji asked, although she was older than Kim Sung-won, her official debut was at the end of '98, later than Kim Sung-won.

"Well," Jin Zhongmin nodded and said, "Brother Hu Dong specially asked me to bring you, this time I want to get drunk with that kid of Shengyuan." ”

Kim Jong-min speaks very straightforwardly to people close to him, and is occasionally laughed at by friends and said that "he doesn't speak through his brain", but he has no sarcasm at all, mainly to protect him, so as not to make him leave an impolite impression on the audience and seniors in the entertainment industry. It is precisely because of this scheming character that Kim Jong-min has friends in the entertainment industry.

"Brother Zhong Min, when did you become so close to Jin Shengyuan's senior? How I don't know. Shin Ji asked curiously. She knew almost every friend of Kim Jong-min, but she had never seen Kim Jong-min contact with Kim Sung-won much.

"Of course, Shengyuan and I hit it off at first sight, and our relationship is very good!" Kim Jong-min would only be so relaxed in front of Shin Ji, and he spoke completely casually.

"Zhong Min, you can actually speak idioms?" Shin Ji said in surprise.

"Hehe," Kim Jong-min touched his head and said, "It was Shengyuan who taught me." ”

"Oh?" Shen Zhi raised her eyebrows slightly, she knew very well how difficult it was to let Kim Jong-min learn an idiom, it seemed that the relationship between Kim Sung-won and him was really good.

"Jin Shengyuan's alcohol consumption is good?" Shen Zhi pinched his fingers and asked.

"Well, that's good!" Kim Jong-min nodded without hesitation and said, although he didn't know how much Kim Sung-won was drinking.

Shen Zhi nodded and stopped talking.

……

"Shengyuan, hurry up and eat something first, it's easy to get drunk when you drink on an empty stomach." In the barbecue restaurant, Jiang Hudong diligently prepared a meal for Jin Shengyuan.

"Hey, I heard that Shen Zhi is not only known as a thousand cups and not drunk, but also the most arrogant, and is known as the 'righteous woman'?" Jin Shengyuan asked Jiang Hudong.

"What are you talking about now? Don't hurry up and eat! Jiang Hudong's face turned slightly pale, and he yelled at Jin Shengyuan "angrily". Although he is a senior, he can't refuse Shin Ji's toast, whether as a man or as a treater. The only way now is to hope that Kim Sung-won can make Shen Ji have a good drink.

Under Jiang Hudong's "persecution", Jin Shengyuan quickly wiped out a small bowl of rice in front of him.

"Brother Hudong, hello." As soon as the dishes and chopsticks were put away, Kim Jong-min and Shin Ji happened to arrive.

"Zhong Min, Shen Zhi, here." Jiang Hudong got up and hugged Kim Jongmin.

"Hello, senior," Shin Ji said as he bowed to Kim Sung-won.

"Sister Shen Zhi, Brother Zhong Min and I are friends, and we are younger than you, just call me by name." Jin Shengyuan said with a smile. Shin Ji's face is very round, his cheeks are fleshy, his lips are half-open, and he always has a bright smile, which gives people a very close feeling.

"Shen Zhi, don't be polite to him." Jiang Hudong and Kim Jongmin also said on the side.

"Well, Shengyuan, hello." When Shen Zhi heard an idiom from Kim Jong-min of the Kim Sung-won Church in the car, he had a great impression of him, so he was no longer polite and said straightforwardly.

"Sister Shen Zhi, Brother Hu Dong has not been happy enough to drink with me several times, this time I specially invited you here, we must let him have fun." Jin Shengyuan said to Shen Zhi without blinking an eye.

After instructing the waiter to come and sit down, Jiang Hudong heard this, his feet went limp, and he almost fell to the ground.

"Yikes! Shengyuan, you ......" Jiang Hudong pointed at Jin Shengyuan and was speechless.

"Huh? Brother Hudong, didn't you mean that Shengyuan ......" The simple Kim Jong-min blinked and asked Jiang Hudong.

Shen Zhi understood what Jin Shengyuan meant, pulled Kim Jong-min, and said to Jiang Hudong with a smile: "Brother Hudong, I will definitely accompany you to have a good drink." ”

"I only know now that you still have such a side, Shengyuan!" Jiang Hudong saw Shen Zhi's expression, but calmed down, he had drunk with Shen Zhi a few times, Shen Zhi was completely aware of his amount of alcohol, and when she said this, Jin Shengyuan would definitely be unlucky.

Sure enough, after Shen Zhi and Jin Shengyuan teamed up to persuade Jiang Hudong for a few cups, they gradually shifted the target to Jin Shengyuan.

"Shengyuan, I didn't expect your alcohol to be so good, come and have a toast."

"Sheng Yuan, your ability to compose music is really amazing, I like the song "Stay by Your Side" the most, come and have a toast!"

"Shengyuan ......"
