The king of Korean entertainment

In the afternoon, Kim Sung-won and Mr. Jung Joo-won came to Kim Jong-kook's brokerage company—ittarmedia, which signed Kim Jong-kook's contract with two albums of [-] million won.

Kim Sung Won had already talked with Kim Jong Kook on the phone beforehand, so Kim Jong Kook waited for the two outside the company early.

"Brother Zhongguo," Kim Sung-won shook hands with Kim Jong-kook with a smile on his face. Kim Jong-kook's manager was on the side. Before the two sides reached an agreement, Kim Sung-won tried to avoid being too intimate with Kim Jong-kook.

Kim Jong Kook obviously understood this too, and after greeting Jung Joo Won, he introduced his manager to them.

"Sheng Yuan, how many songs have you composed now?" Jin Zhongguo asked hesitantly after he brought the two of them to his lounge.Even if Jin Shengyuan can't reach a contract with the company, he also hopes to buy the songs composed by Jin Shengyuan. He believes that Jin Shengyuan's songs are completely tailored for himself and are most suitable for him.

"Three songs, 'Lovely', 'Stay in Place', 'Stars, Wind, Sunshine and Love'," said Jin Shengyuan, "but the lyrics of the last song haven't been completed yet."

"Well," Kim Jong-kook nodded, and said to his manager, "Brother Shijun, go and contact the director of the company."

"Okay," Kim Jong Kook's manager said goodbye to Kim Sung Won and the two, and walked out.

"Sung Won, thank you for the song "A Man"," Kim Jong Kook is a very humble person, perhaps because he has experienced too many hardships, he is very polite to everyone around him.

"I also want to thank Brother Zhong Guo for perfectly interpreting the emotion of this song," Jin Shengyuan said with a smile. When there are no outsiders, his words are much more casual.

"Well," Kim Jong Kook was speechless again. It can be seen that he is very worried about the third album. His current achievements are still far from his goal. The success or failure of the third album is directly related to his future destiny - it is a flash in the pan, Or go one step further.

Not long after, Kim Jong Kook's manager returned to the lounge and invited Kim Sung Won and Jung Joo Won to the meeting room.

The person in charge of negotiating with Jin Shengyuan and the others was a man dressed in an orthodox suit, about 40 years old, with slightly white sideburns, wearing a pair of gold-rimmed glasses, and a very easy-going attitude. aura.

After a brief introduction, the two sides began to gradually test each other's bottom line.

Jin Shengyuan just sat quietly and listened quietly. He was not good at negotiating this kind of thing. Naturally, Zheng Zhuyuan and his assistant negotiated with the other party.Although Kim Sung Won took over Kim Jong Kook's third album, he was only the producer, the real deal was between Kim Jong Kook's management company and Jung Joo Won's music studio.

Although Zheng Zhuyuan's reading music room is small, but with the support of his reputation, he refused to show weakness in the negotiation.The two sides are like a tug-of-war, preparing to wear down the confidence of the other side bit by bit.

Although he didn't know much about the negotiations between the two parties, Jin Shengyuan listened very carefully and expressed his attitude.

Although the two sides did not leave the stage to rest as they did on TV, they also interspersed with tea drinking time several times.It was not until the sky was getting dark that the two sides formally negotiated.

"Director Huang, hello, I want to talk about the sale of the three songs I composed," Jin Shengyuan said when the other party was about to get up and leave.

"Of course we will send someone to discuss this matter with you, don't worry," Director Huang said, looking at Jin Shengyuan with a smile.

"My request is very simple, three songs, [-] million won." Jin Shengyuan shook his head and said.

"What?" Director Huang could no longer maintain his demeanor, and looked at Jin Shengyuan with the same gaze as a "lunatic".

Strictly speaking, 1000 million won for a good song is not expensive, but it is unavoidable that Kim Sung-won's current status would make such a price.Although he wrote five good songs last year, he is only a newcomer who has written five songs!How much is a song by a new writer?Between 3000 million won and [-] million won, even if Jin Shengyuan has the evaluation of "emerging composers", [-] million won for a song is considered top-notch. I didn't expect him to dare to charge [-] million won for each song. This is the most The price that a top composer would dare to ask for a song that has been carefully composed.

Of course, Jin Shengyuan made this request not to make the other party laugh at him, so when everyone was surprised, he continued: "I can guarantee that the quality of these three songs is not worse than "A Man"."

"How can you guarantee it? We are an agency, not a music critic. No matter how good a song is, it is useless if it is not approved by fans!" Director Huang did not sit down, but stood directly beside the table, staring at the song. asked Jin Shengyuan.

"Based on my analysis of the market." Jin Shengyuan's expression remained unchanged, and he continued: "Otherwise, if Senior Kim Jong-kook can't win the final awards of the three major radio stations at the end of this year, I don't want any of these three songs. I won two For the grand prize, I want [-] million won; if Senior Kim Jong-kook wins the Triple Crown, I want [-] million won!"

"Three crowns?" Director Huang almost laughed out loud, he had already defined the young man in front of him as arrogant in his heart, and immediately slowed down his tone, and said to Jin Shengyuan: "Young people should not be too ostentatious, self-confidence is good, but It’s not good to be complacent.”

"Don't Director Huang dare to sign this contract?" Jin Shengyuan ignored the other party's "advice" and continued.

Director Huang was finally irritated by Jin Shengyuan's attitude. He glanced at Zheng Zhuyuan and saw that he hadn't expressed anything. He nodded and said, "Since you insist on this, then write this in when we sign the contract."

"No problem, happy cooperation!" Jin Shengyuan smiled heartily and stretched out his hand.

Director Huang didn't know where Jin Shengyuan's confidence came from, but he absolutely believed in his own judgment, without the slightest hesitation, gently shook Jin Shengyuan's hand, and then bid farewell to Zheng Zhuyuan again.

Zheng Zhuyuan did not interfere with Jin Shengyuan's negotiations at all, because it was Jin Shengyuan's power. Zheng Zhuyuan might give advice, but after Jin Shengyuan made a decision, he would never intervene.

Moreover, Zheng Zhuyuan knew that Jin Shengyuan would occasionally be too stubborn on something, and it was impossible for anyone to change his decision.Therefore, he would not do this kind of useless work, not to mention that even if there is no income from those three songs, Jin Shengyuan still has the salary of the producer.

How can you succeed if you haven't experienced failures and tribulations?This is Zheng Zhuyuan's philosophy.His attitude towards Jin Shengyuan is not like the traditional Koreans, who wish to cast a model, press him into it and process it out.He adopts a "stocking" attitude, and regards himself as a simple guide, pointing out the direction for Jin Shengyuan and introducing the pros and cons, but he will not force him to go where.

"Are you going back with me or by yourself later?" Zheng Zhuyuan asked before leaving.

"I can go back by myself, thank you teacher." Jin Shengyuan said as he sent Zheng Zhuyuan to the door.

"Let's go, I'll treat you to dinner." After Zheng Zhuyuan left, Jin Zhongguo said to Jin Shengyuan.

"Sheng Yuan, the contract you proposed is very unfavorable to you," Jin Zhongguo said to Jin Shengyuan after hesitating for a moment when he invited Jin Shengyuan to dinner, "I think that if you work hard, you may get one big reward, the chances of two big rewards Small, the Treble is out of the question."

"It's okay, brother Zhong Guo, you have to have confidence in yourself." Jin Shengyuan said indifferently.Through simple contact and Liu Zaishi's description, Jin Shengyuan has somewhat understood Jin Zhongguo's surname.

self-discipline!This is the biggest characteristic of Kim Jong Kook.Compared with Kim Sung-won's previous staidness, Kim Jong-kook's self-discipline is simply outrageous.In order to maintain his greatest advantage - voice, Kim Jong Kook has started his fitness career since his solo flight, and he does not eat any food containing preservatives, fried food, or... If one of these is imposed on Yun Er, Xiuying, Jin Shengyuan thinks that they may really go crazy.But Kim Jong Kook persisted for several years.

This attitude determines that Kim Jong Kook's chances of success will be one point higher than others, and with the various advantages he has accumulated, it is entirely possible to win the Triple Crown.

The most important thing is that Jin Shengyuan clearly felt the strength of Kim Jong-kook in 05, and it was the first time that the aura in his mind was so clear.

That's why Jin Shengyuan proposed that seemingly absurd contract.

"However, the contract you mentioned did not mention the item with the highest probability - the situation that I won a big reward, then the company will definitely make a fuss about this..." It can be seen that Jin Zhongguo really treats Jin Shengyuan as a good person friends look at.

"It doesn't matter," Jin Shengyuan shook his head indifferently, and said, "Brother Zhong Guo, you just need to work hard, and you don't need to worry about other things. Is there any singer in South Korea who can insist on performing live all year round with ease?"

Kim Jong Kook shook his head shyly and stopped admonishing him, he had already seen Kim Sung Won's stubbornness.

"Want to eat chicken legs? Brother Zhong Guo," Jin Shengyuan asked while holding a chicken leg on purpose.

"You boy!" Jin Zhongguo said dumbfoundedly, even if he was joking, he was rarely angry.

"Do you want me to take you back?" Kim Jong Kook asked after dinner.

"No, thank you Zhong Guo." Jin Shengyuan looked at the completely dark Seoul night sky and said, "I used to stay at home and rarely go out for a walk. It's good to take this opportunity to do some activities."

"I still have an announcement, I can't accompany you anymore, goodbye," Kim Jong Kook patted Kim Sung Won on the shoulder and left in the car.

Both sides of the street were brightly illuminated by street lamps and car lights. Jin Shengyuan walked and watched casually. Although there was no special landscape around, it was really good to relax.

Jin Shengyuan's thoughts gradually emptied, as if he was just walking, and he didn't know where to turn with the sparse flow of people.

"Ah——" Finally, Jin Shengyuan withdrew his thoughts slowly and gently, only feeling refreshed and happy, and a burst of tiredness hit him, and he couldn't help opening his arms and yawning big.

However, before Jin Shengyuan's mouth could close, he froze all of a sudden, and forgot to let go of his arms that were raised in the air.

"Why are you here?" A clear and crisp voice filled with surprise at first, but turned into disdain at the end.
