Chapter 16: Shoot yourself in the foot
Myung Jun-hyuk and Choi Dae-yi said hello politely and got into the nanny car.
"Brother Dayi, didn't you say that you can just send an ordinary agent to record with me, why do you still run in person."
"How can that work, Junhyuk, you are my ace artist, and it depends on you whether I can be promoted in the future."
After ending the business exchange with Choi Dae-yi, Myung Jun-hyuk signaled that the driver could start. During the trip to Universal Music Studio, Myung Joon-hyuk carefully sorted out his recent situation since he came to the peninsula.
In terms of career, he and JYP confirmed his official debut in "M!Countdown" on August 05, and now he has completed the arrangement of all the songs in the album.
Emotionally, he and Lin Yuna have reached the stage of hugging, but the relationship has not been formalized. In this regard, if Lin Yuner makes a statement, then he will acquiesce if he does not respond, if he does not express his position, it is natural to maintain the status quo. Oh, by the way, and rejected a Pei Xiuzhi from the same company.
As soon as he thought of Bae so-ji, Myung Joon-hyuk realized that she hadn't contacted her for five days, whether in reality or from the Internet. Nodding with satisfaction, he felt that he had completely rejected Pei Xiuzhi and dispelled her idea of wanting to fall in love with him.
"Joonhyuk Xi, Taetea Nim, you can get off."
The driver's reminder made Myung Joon-hyuk find that he has arrived at the parking lot of the building where Universal Music is located, and he has to sigh at the crampedness of Seoul.
I got out of the car and followed the reception staff sent by Universal Music to the recording studio. Myung Joon-hyuk looked at the landscape of Universal Records, and he couldn't help but be a little surprised by the ambition and strength of Universal Records.
Although Universal Music does not have a handful of artists on the peninsula so far, the company's business is indeed not affected at all. Through the simple replacement of some international resources, it is easy to get the support of the three major entertainment companies in the peninsula.
As soon as Myung Joon-hyuk entered the studio, he saw that the record producer was greeting him, a top record producer from KT Music, who was only poached by Universal Music a while ago.
After confirming that what he wanted to record today was the title song of the album "Boyfriend", the pre-promotional song "As long as you love me" and the follow-up promotional song "All around the world", Myung Joon-hyuk first cleared his throat and finished his voice opening before singing, and signaled that he could start recording directly.
Nodding slightly to the band teachers, his hands were naturally open, wearing monitoring headphones, he looked at the microphone in front of him affectionately, brewed his emotions, and slowly spoke.
The superior timbre conditions and clear articulation of the words, even under the mirror of singing skills in the recording studio, seem to be at ease, and there are no various problems that many debutants have.
After recording three times in one go, Myung Joon-hyuk was about to take a break before continuing to record songs, and the producer told him to keep one more.
After realizing that the first three times had passed, he easily finished singing the fourth time. After taking a sip of water and resting, I realized that I had finished recording the first song in less than half an hour.
It just so happened that someone outside the studio came looking for him. When Myung Joon-hyuk saw it, he found out that it was Director Yoo, the head of the peninsula of Universal Music, and walked out.
"Anihasse, Director Liu Nim."
"Ani Hase, Jun Hyuk Xi, it's up to you whether our Universal Music artists can make a name for themselves on the peninsula this time."
After modestly saying that even if he became famous, it was everyone's common credit, and Ming Junhyuk learned that Director Liu came to him mainly to say hello and see how he recorded his songs.
"It's pretty good, I finished recording a song in less than half an hour, and as far as I know, many singers who have just debuted may not be able to complete a song even if they record it in a day."
After greeting Director Yoo and sending him away, Myung Jun-hyuk began the recording of the remaining two songs, and ended the day's recording before lunchtime.
On the way to the company, Cui Dayi also jokingly said: "Fortunately, I came to record a song with Junhyuk today, and when I was sitting in the lounge waiting, those staff were there to praise me for your singing talent." When I took other artists in the company to record songs before, I had to serve those uncles with a good voice. ”
Ming Junhyuk nodded noncommittally, after all, most of the artists under JYP Company debuted in groups, and there will always be one or two people in a group who are lagging behind in singing.
When he came to the company, he did not go directly to his practice room, but went to the conference room to discuss the shooting plan of promotional materials and MV according to Park Jin-young's instructions.
Seeing Park Jin-young in the conference room again, Myung Joon-hyuk felt that he also took himself too seriously, and he was deeply involved in all aspects of his debut album, I don't know if it was because of his commercial value, or because of his mother's explanation to him, and praised his mother again.
Unlike the last copywriting production, he didn't have much say, and Ming Junhyuk still had a little experience in the shooting of promotional materials and MVs.
After deciding that the style after his debut is a girl idol and a cultivated idol to kill female fans of all ages, Myung Joon-hyuk said that he could use the theme of youth for shooting, which coincided with the theme of his album.
"Boyfriend, should you find a female artist to shoot with you?"
After thinking about it carefully, Park Jin-young gave his own proposal, and seeing that Myung Joon-hyuk and the employees of the marketing department had no objections, he continued.
"Then Junhyuk, do you mind having an affair with a female artist, you may lose some of your wife's fans."
Myung Joon-hyuk shrugged his shoulders, indicating that he would never have the idea of falling in love with his fans from beginning to end, so he didn't have to care about the loss of his wife's fans.
"In that case, then the fertilizer water will not leave outsiders to the field, so let's choose our company's own female artist. What do you think of Pei Xiuzhi, the company agrees that she will definitely become popular after Miss A's debut, and it will be just right to connect with your debut time, so you can perfectly inherit her popularity. ”
Myung Jun-hyuk felt that this was a bit of a shooting in his own foot, he should have completely rejected Bae Suji, but now he wants to shoot with her.
Although he was a little worried that filming together would make Bae Suzhi resurgitate his ideas, after thinking about the fact that JYP does not have a more suitable female artist than Bae Suzhi at present, he finally felt that he had to focus on his career first, and agreed to Park Jinying's proposal.
…………
"Whew, whew."
"How about Junhyuk, did you feel after your last workout?" Coach Yoo held his waist and asked Ming Junhyuk, who was sweating on his abs.
Myung Jun-hyuk had just finished a set of sit-ups, and was still in the stage of adjusting his breath at this time, and did not immediately respond to Coach Liu's inquiry.
