Chapter 80: Pick-up
The speed of updating in the entertainment industry may be more diligent than a girl's lipstick number, and the excitement of the Korean entertainment industry without QS is no worse than in the past.
But in the past two months, in general, there are three leading companies:
Miss A relied on a song "Hush" as the main song, and killed a male fan market with a sexy style that hit the trend of the times; 4minutes' Kim Hyun Ah and BEAST's Jang Hyun Seung formed a limited group "No Tomorrow", taking advantage of the "Trouble Maker" trend brought by Xie Qianyu and Li Juli in the early years; In the end, YG's victory solo and BIGBANG group returned in succession, and they struggled to bite a piece of market share with a solid fan base.
Women's groups, men's and women's groups, men's groups, and male solo singers, the market was not lively for a while, but at first glance, it was still the people of those companies.
JYP, CUBE, and YG are inseparable, and they have been killed from the beginning of the year to the last month of the first quarter, except for a few small companies that want to fight for the market, most of the brokerage companies led by SM have strangely remained silent at the same time, giving the market to the three parties who are quick to kill.
It's really red-eyed, but JYP's Park Jin-young and CUBE's Hong Seung-sung are about to make money, and only YG's Yang Juhua is angry.
The first two didn't expect this kind of song that transcended the trend of the times to be so popular; The other is that I didn't expect Xie Qianyu to send songs and dances to their company for nothing, and even helped pick out the candidates for the temporary group, this album is simply pie in the sky for nothing.
Only Yang Hyun Suk couldn't laugh, not that BIGBANG's two returns made less money or lost money, but the VIPs (BIGBANG fan name) are still very powerful, but it's a pity that the passerby market except for fans has almost been divided up by the other two.
Male? Do you like to watch long-legged girls dance? Come on, come on, I have a guy named Miss A who sang "Hush" and listened?
Female? Like Trouble Maker or not? QS's family meal.... That's even better, I have a TM called "No Tomorrow"!
When it comes to the combination of big sticks and young times, if the return cannot reach a certain "explosion point", it is a loss in a sense, and the inability to save new popularity has also wasted the financial resources of fans, which is somewhat more than worth the loss.
But seeing that the matter of building YGEX with RB Ai Hui is right now, the attitude over there has become ambiguous again, and Yang Hyun Suk can only step up his journey as an artist, hoping that the good financial statements in the first quarter will be the last straw to help AVEX make up his mind.
When he saw that the names of Xie Qianyu and T-ara were already in the list of artists under Ai Hui (AVEX), Yang Hyun-suk's intuition told him that this matter was inseparable from that man.
When Xie Qianyu came out with "Jiangnan Style", all the brokerage companies were both hot and afraid, hoping that he could become a member of their family, but also afraid that he would be signed away by the rival company.
When CJ bought out him and his firm, everyone felt a little relieved when they regretted it, after all, CJ had empty money, and his foundation in the entertainment industry was still very shallow, but Xie Qianyu had an extra circle of restraint on his head.
"Can anyone tell me why that guy wrote songs for other companies! Is he short of money?!! ”
This is the only thought in Yang Hyun-suk's heart at the moment.
-------------------------------------
"It's really perverted....... Li Xiuman in the office put down the phone and sighed, silently crumpling the "Super Junior Return Case" on the table into a paper ball and discarding it.
He didn't dare to imagine what it would be like to force Super Junior back in this situation, and how much market share would it be?
25%....? 20%....? Or a lower 15% or even single digits?
At this moment, Jin Yingmin knocked on the door and walked in, and happened to hear Director Li's sigh:
"I can't imagine what would have happened to us if he had been born ten years earlier."
"You don't have to be born ten years early, if there was no stubble back then, he would have unified the current Korean music industry with his back to LG." Without waiting to talk about work, Kim Young-min first poured cold water on Lee so-man, breaking his illusions and mentioning the other party's sadness.
"It's terrifying that I'm in the United States, but last year I calculated what would happen in the past two months......"
Kim Young-min also shuddered slightly, and inexplicably thought of the sentence at the time - "Don't let the girl group prepare to return recently~", if he didn't believe in evil and arranged for his artists to return, would the current YG become SM?
Everyone thought that Xie Qianyu was still immersed in T-ara's girl group, but he had unknowingly extended his tentacles to the entire entertainment market......
Shaking his head, Kim Young-min quickly shook the shocking thought out of his head and expressed his intention to Li Xiuman: "Have you got the news, about SBS?" ”
Lee so-man nodded, the phone he had just hung up received from a "one-of-a-kind" within SBS: "T-ara's Hyo-min and Ji-yeon participated in the special recording of "Running Man", do you want to say this?" ”
"Yes, the airtime should be two weeks later, ...... you watch Super Junior's return?"
"Redo it, see the response from QS."
"The men's team fights the women's group, and the goblins will be afraid of those people in T-ara?"
Originally, the men's group should have been under the supervision of Li Xiuman, but now another headache has just subsided, and as the first return after the change of SJ members, this special time node makes the two have to face it carefully.
"What if he goes out in person, and sends two more songs?"
Li Xiuman's words made Kim Yingmin feel like a fish in his throat and speechless.
What a familiar method, such a disgusting method, such a terrible man......
As Asiana Airlines planes landed at Incheon International Airport, it marked the return of the "core backbone" of QS office, who had not appeared in the public eye for a whole month, and finally stepped back to this land.
In the past month, except for "The True Color of Idols" hosted by Xie Qianyu, who flies both in the United States and South Korea, and "We Are Married Season 3", which officially aired four episodes of Xian Eunjing, the only two groups of artists in the company have not heard any news.
In particular, the eldest and third of T-ara, as if the world had evaporated, could not find this person, which was unusually unsettling, and some people with a keen sense of smell had already smelled some unusual smells from it.
Maybe Kim Young-min is one of them.
The whole first quarter seems to have nothing to do with QS, but in fact, it is connected everywhere at the hidden joints, and when all the staff return to their positions, this drama is bound to become even more exciting.
-------------------------------------
Just when the South Korean entertainment bigwigs thousands of miles away were making a fuss because Xie Qianyu was busy writing variety show scripts for his two people, the man in the eye of the storm was trembling with a little girl at the pick-up place.
In the terminal of Tom Bradley International Terminal, referred to as TBIT, which is under the jurisdiction of Asiana Airlines, Xie Qianyu and Zheng Xiujing have been waiting at the reception area for more than half an hour.
"Little Crystal, are you sure your Ernie flight is ....."
"Qianyu OPPA, don't ask, I'm sure!" As soon as Xie Qianyu spoke, he was ruthlessly interrupted by Zheng Xiujing, "This is the flight from Seoul to Los Angeles this afternoon, and it stands to reason that it should have arrived half an hour ago." ”
"Is it possible that she came from Busan or Jeju Island, and maybe she went abroad to China......
“OPPA! Do you think my sister won't tell me when she goes abroad?! She's my pro-Ernie! ”
Seeing that the tsundere little Lori was showing signs of going berserk, Xie Qianyu didn't dare to speak anymore, so she had to hide with her arms on the side.
[I don't know who was shivering with cold just now, you who urged me to see the flight information at that time are not the ....... now]
I don't know if the United States also has a cold spring, or the airport staff are reluctant to turn on the air conditioner, in short, the temperature in the terminal today is surprisingly cold, especially the small area of the airport entrance.
And perhaps it is the inheritance of the "Zheng sisters", Zheng Xiujing, who picked up the airport today, wore exquisite and fashionable clothes with excitement.
The price of grace.... Naturally, it's the temperature. Seeing that the girl was really pitiful, Xie Qianyu still took off her plaid coat and wrapped her in it.
But he's also an artist! He also has idol baggage! The only thing I wore under the warm coat was a thin sweater and a base layer, and now I was shivering from the cold.
As a result, the passengers involuntarily paid attention to a strange scene:
Two black-haired tourists wearing masks, a man and a woman, dressed as thin as performance art, shivering in the corner; The girl was wrapped in a men's jacket and guarded the airport exit with an expression of "I don't know this XX".
"OPPA, if it's really cold, you can go and wait in the car, I'll just wait here for Ernie to come out."
Although it was an idol, but being looked at with strange eyes by so many passengers coming and going and picking up the airport, Rao is Zheng Xiujing couldn't stand it anymore, and walked next to Xie Qianyu and said with a straight face.
"It's okay, it's okay, OPPA isn't cold, let's wait for another half an hour, and if you Ernie doesn't come out again, we'll get in the car together."
rejected Zheng Xiujing not because Xie Qianyu was strong to support the man, but that the treatment given to her by SM was not as good as that of T-ara, and the only agent and bodyguard now doesn't know where to run.
It's not that I'm afraid that Zheng Xiujing, a native of the United States, will get lost, but if something happens to the girl in a crowded place like the airport, then he really can't explain it to Li Xiuman.
Unusually cold weather, arriving flights on the status bar, passengers who have not shown up for a long time...... In short, how weird this pick-up tour is.
Fortunately, Zheng Xiuyan didn't let her dear sister wait any longer, and after about a quarter of an hour, she saw a blonde woman wearing big sunglasses and a roll-brimmed hat dragging her suitcase out.
[It's spring, and there's no sun, what beach hat to wear......]
Although the girl's style is very eye-catching, a certain cautious man still complained in his heart.
"Ernie!!"
A rare vacation, a rare sisters' meeting, and a rare return to the United States!
All of this made Zheng Xiujing extremely excited, and her emotions were even a little too high, even forgetting what Zheng Xiuyan had asked her to wait for a long time, and she just wanted to rush forward and ask for a hug.
Outcome......
"Anniang Hasimiga! Xie Qianyu xi! ”
Zheng Xiuyan directly skipped her sister, and walked directly in front of Xie Qianyu with the accompanying agent, greeting her with extremely strict honorifics and bowing.
nodded to Zheng Xiuyan in response, and then shook hands with the male agent, Xie Qianyu, who was cold enough just now, is now very cold.
It stands to reason that now Xie Qianyu is also the president, imagine that if Kim Young-min greets Zheng Xiuyan with honorifics, it will probably be a terrible thing.
"Ernie ....." Zheng Xiujing watched the "sister control" bypass her, and bowed to Xie Qianyu in greeting, her big eyes were slowly incredulous at first, and then the next second it seemed that tears were about to pour out.
"That.... Lee Ho-jun xi, right.....? I don't know if you President Kim told you, but I've already said hello to him, and there is no recording arrangement today, so let Jessica and Krystal take a day off, and you can also take a vacation to relieve the fatigue of traveling, do you think it's okay? ”
Li Haojun nodded, and regardless of the fact that he received Jin Yingmin's message as soon as he got off the plane, just with Xie Qianyu's status and polite attitude, he didn't dare and wouldn't be too difficult.
Just when Xie Qianyu and Li Haojun were discussing, Zheng Xiuyan just took out a set of cosmetics that she had just bought at the duty-free shop, and successfully coaxed Zheng Xiujing, who was still a "child", and the sisters came over as if they were reconciled.
"Xie Qianyuxi, I don't need to rest, can I start recording tonight?"
"Huh?"
--------------------------------------------------
Before coming to the United States, Zheng Xiuyan had been nervous. To be precise, she hadn't had a good night's sleep since the moment she heard Xie Qianyu call her name.
A man who has never given you a good look, a dazzling man with the same status and talent, a man who suddenly wants to write a song for you and sing with you...... These factors are superimposed, except for girls with very big nerves, I am afraid that everyone will have uneasy emotions, not to mention that Zheng Xiuyan is the type with more cranky ideas.
But on the day of "Dianjiang", his own president was present, the art director was present, and several of his teammates were also squatting in the corner with him...... This kind of "good" itinerary is a certainty, and there is obviously no room for her to refuse or maneuver.
What's even more tragic is that when she finally decided to ask the team members for advice, most of the replies she got were-
"Such a great good thing, you are reluctant?"
Perhaps only Zheng Xiuyan herself knows what a deep psychological shadow the man who was backstage that day left on her.
Fortunately, in the end, the group of bad friends still gave some more constructive suggestions, such as.....
"When dealing with Xie Qianyu, you must be respectful, and try to follow his thoughts."
Outcome.... As soon as she said the second sentence, she "disobeyed" the man's advice.
Xie Qianyu raised his eyebrows, obviously surprised by the girl's words: "Are you ready?" ”
Jung didn't speak, just nodded, she believed in her mastery of the song.
"Xie Qianyuxi, it's so late.... Can you still find a recording studio? Or listen to your ......"
Fang just agreed to President Xie, but when he turned his head, he was slapped in the face by the artists under his hands, and Li Haojun, who was caught in the middle, was embarrassed and tried to save something.
But Xie Qianyu didn't say much, just turned his head and walked towards the exit, motioning for the three people behind him to follow.
