Chapter 491: East Gate
New Year's Day is very simple, as artists, Jin Shengyuan and they can't enjoy the lively party like ordinary people, but their ears have been filled with the hustle and bustle for a year, and this kind of real and warm family banquet allows them to enjoy it even more.
On January 2, Kim Sung-won went to Jiang Hudong's barbecue restaurant to attend their party.
During this period, he was inevitably drunk by everyone again. First, because Jin Shengyuan did not participate last year, no matter what the reason, he should be punished; Another reason is that he has just entered 2009, although Jin Shengyuan has not made any moves, but the afterglow that belonged to him at the end of last year has not disappeared, and it can even be said that he is still at a peak, so he will inevitably be drunk by his predecessors.
Thankfully, it was just a gathering of friends and family, and they had no intention of getting him drunk. Therefore, Jin Shengyuan did not have a sense of rejection, and took all the ridicule of his predecessors one by one. He replied to each senior one by one with occasional humor, occasional connotation, and occasional little scoundrel (he was the youngest of all the party members), intimate and polite words, quite the momentum of "Zhuge Liang's tongue fighting Confucianism" in the Three Kingdoms.
You must know that most of the people on the scene are hosts and funny artists, eloquence and reaction are the first basic skills, although everyone did not deliberately embarrass Jin Shengyuan, but Jin Shengyuan was able to respond without humility or arrogance under the ridicule of many seniors, which amazed everyone.
Before, many people were dissatisfied with Jin Shengyuan's winning the Acting Awards, thinking that he was just the reason why he was too popular and had Jiang Hudong's support. After personal contact at this moment, although he was not completely convinced, he had more or less recognized his ability, and his eloquence and reaction on the spot alone were enough.
It wasn't until two o'clock in the afternoon that Kim Sung-won left Kang Ho-dong's barbecue restaurant and was driven by Park Jung-yoon. When artists gather, their agents will naturally have another party, including assistants, stylists, and others. As always, Choi Hyun-jun was also drunk by many seniors like Kim Sung-won.
En route. Jin Shengyuan reclined on the seat in the back row, and suddenly sighed: "It is convenient to have your own lawyer." Although JSY's company is not large, it has a plan in advance and does not have to worry about financial reasons. So there is its own solicitor.
After Kim Sung-won told his lawyer about his bottom line and requirements, he was responsible for negotiating with the representatives of SBS TV about the TV series "Splendid Legacy". If there are any details that you can't scoop up, just call Jin Shengyuan again.
In this way, Jin Shengyuan's work itself is much easier.
Today, Kim Sung-won does not plan to do any work. Tomorrow is his birthday, as an artist, and a top popular artist. It was impossible for him to spend his birthday silently with a few friends. Therefore, he gave himself a day off a day early and spent the day.
Taeyeon and the others are hurrying to rehearse the dance and have no time to accompany him.
This morning, the MV trailer for their latest title song "Gee" has been announced, and sales are about to begin, and New Year's Day can be regarded as a relaxing time for them to take a relaxing break.
……
With the development of the times, the current festival has gradually lost the atmosphere of the past.
In the past, it was three days of New Year's Day. The cars on the streets of Seoul and the flow of people on both sides of the streets have almost disappeared. Today, even on New Year's Day, there are still many shops on the streets of Seoul. On January 2, most of the shops have resumed normal business. Crowds are pouring into the streets again.
Although it is said to be relaxed, when Kim Sung-won just returned to the company in the afternoon, he still sorted out all the songs from last year and made a summary.
Undoubtedly, his album sales are the kings of 2008 sales, and his sales of a single mini-album are enough to match the total album sales of some artists in a year. …,
Now, his pure music "Father, Mother" has been rated as a classic by all Korean music magazines, and the combination of piano and vocals has created a new model for the music industry, and many people in the music industry have begun to pursue the most simple and authentic sound - the sound of human vocal cords.
Today, "Father, Mother" has sold 870,000 copies. The only pity is that because of the impact of the Internet, it failed to reach the million sales that everyone expected.
The sales of the single album "Pleasetellmewhy" are not very good (in Kim Sung-won's opinion), and the sales of this album are more due to the "gimmick" of Kim Sung-won's return to the music industry after eight years, as well as the impact of "Father, Mother".
The mini album "Stay by My Side" is Kim Sung-won's most satisfying album. It is also known as Jin Shengyuan's masterpiece in the music industry, the most classic album in 2008! What is the concept that a mini album can sell the sales of a regular album?
Many people believe that if Kim Sung-won had made this album a regular album, the sales would definitely have easily exceeded 500,000.
The sales of the official album "Believe", because of the song "Letter to Fifteen-Year-Old You", caused a frenzy on campus, and Kim Sung-won achieved more than 400,000 sales under the popularity of the "east wind" at the end of the year, which made Kim Sung-won himself and many fans who were looking forward to his breakthrough again regret a little.
But no matter what, Kim Sung-won's "blockbuster" has been rated as one of the top ten news in the Korean entertainment industry in 2008.
At the end of 2008, South Korea's authoritative TV magazine "Magazinet" selected the "30 Most Influential People in the Broadcasting Industry", of which the biggest change was that Jiang Hudong, who ranked 29th last year, jumped to fifth place, and Kim Sungwon, who had never been on the list before, was born out of thin air, ranking seventh as soon as he appeared.
Although Jin Shengyuan's ranking is quite controversial, some people think that he is just popular at the moment, and his influence is not so great. However, many people believe that Kim Sung-won's ranking is well deserved, and his influence lies in diversity, and his influence on the post-80s generation alone is enough to win this award.
The controversy on the Internet did not affect this list.
After the list came out, it was once again a good talk, because the fifth, sixth, and seventh on the list were Jiang Hudong, Liu Zaishi, and Kim Sung-won respectively.
In addition, South Korean President Lee Myung-bak is ranked 14th.
……
2008 was a bumper year for Kim Sung-won, and he just summed up the benefits in music. The economic benefits are still in operation and cannot be counted for the time being. However, JSY's earnings have been counted by reporters for him, and they are not much different. The rest of the matter will be handed over to Cui Xianjun and they will sort it out.
After the summary. Jin Shengyuan sorted out some mistakes, overlooks, and things worth learning for a long time. After doing this, he informed Choi Hyun-jun, changed his clothes, and left the company alone.
The fans who followed Kim Sung-won did not restrain because of the exposure. On the contrary, more people are ready to move, every day in front of his company, there will be some fans wandering, and several cars appear almost every day.
In order to avoid being followed again, Kim Sung-won left through the side door in an employee's vehicle.
Ten minutes later, Jin Shengyuan got off the bus outside Dongdaemun.
Dongdaemun, formerly known as the Gate of Heungin. It is the gate to the east of the Seoul City Wall. Dongdaemun Market, located near Dongdaemun, is one of the most famous traditional markets in Seoul and is famous for its low prices.
Dongdaemun Market is a veritable shopping kingdom in Seoul with 29 large market buildings, more than 30,000 specialty stores, more than 50,000 manufacturing companies, and a daily floating population of more than 4 million.
At this moment, it was already half past four in the afternoon. Kim Sung-won has no interest in the scenery around Dongdaemun, and he has become accustomed to seeing various scenery during the filming of "Two Days and One Night", and what he wants to do most now is to visit the popular places. …,
The reason why I chose Dongdaemun Market is because there are enough people and it is lively enough. And. Dongdaemun's street food is no slouch, with a variety of snacks that will keep some tourists coming back for more, such as spicy fried rice cakes, fish balls, chicken skewers, Korean-style pork trotters, and ...... Kim Sung-won hasn't eaten since the end of the meeting. Just to wait until now.
As for being discovered, there is basically no such possibility.
For this trip, Jin Shengyuan did not hesitate to spare his image (it seems that he had already lost his image in "Two Days and One Night" and "Infinite Challenge"), cotton boots, dirt slag cotton pants, and a fat down jacket that seemed to be flushed, which made his upper body fat, wearing an old-fashioned helmet hat on his head, two ear protectors covering half of his cheeks, and a pair of black-framed glasses, his face was washed clean and there was no makeup.
And. Except when he bows his head to eat, he always wears a sky blue mask (sky blue mask because he has become popular), and he also wears gloves on his hands, so it is strange to be recognized!
Stop-and-go, although Jin Shengyuan doesn't look down on most of the clothes, he occasionally has some chic trinkets, gloves and the like. Will not hesitate to buy it. Of course, he will also stop to taste his favorite snacks when he sees them.
Jin Shengyuan's taste and his worth are completely inconsistent, I'm afraid that many people would not expect that Jin Shengyuan, who has always been luxurious, would appear at Dongdaemun.
Before you know it, the time has reached 6 o'clock in the afternoon, and the lights are on, and from this moment on, countless shoppers are pouring into Dongdaemun Market from all directions like a gathering of clouds, and more and more, and soon a crowd of people will be formed.
Jin Shengyuan was very glad that he didn't drive over.
Even on January 2nd, the market was still brightly lit, bustling with people, and the traffic turned the road into a mobile parking lot.
And, as time goes by, so do the number of shoppers, and Dongdaemun Market has always been known for its large number of late-night shoppers.
At 7 p.m., at the entrance of the 1st ward, where Doosan Tower is located, major shopping malls hold a variety of prizes such as singing and dancing competitions in which young customers directly participate, which is also a major attraction of Dongdaemun Market.
From 6:40 a.m., the flow of people around the area gradually converged here, crowding the neighborhood tightly.
Jin Shengyuan also squeezed in with great interest.
"Really, uncle! If you're afraid of the cold, don't come out at night, wear so thick, you will take up space for two people alone! Jin Shengyuan was "following the flow" when he suddenly heard a young female voice in his ear say, he hadn't paid attention to it originally, but after more than ten seconds, he suddenly realized that the other party should be talking about himself.
"When did I become an uncle?" Jin Shengyuan turned his head depressedly, but he couldn't find the owner of the voice.
At this moment, a soft female voice behind him sounded: "That, uncle, I'm sorry, can we two change positions?" You're so tall that I can't see what's ahead at all. ”
Jin Shengyuan pinched his chin fiercely, and when he turned around, he saw a girl in her early twenties looking at him, because of his height, he saw a small black mole on the tip of the girl's nose at first glance.
