130、Understanding
Li Chong took a bite of ice cream and said slowly, "You should know the mythical combination very well. He has been in the industry for ten years and is the longest-lived idol group in Korea. In the unpredictable song world of Korea, they broke the 5-year spell for the first time. If they share the same spell, they will be divided."
Sung Yuli looked at Li Chong, "Uncle, I know all these, but are these the same as my current situation? Mythical predecessors have always been popular and have always stood firm."
"No way, when Mythology first debuted, it did not become famous because the style of the first roster was similar to that of HOT. With the strength of ** company at that time, it can be said that Mythology's debut failed. It was just that the style of the second roster, coupled with the unremitting efforts of Brother ERIC and others, they moved from ordinary dance combinations to the top group." Li Chong continued.
"They were very popular for four years. In these four years, myths were incomplete for more than a year. Andy missed many activities of myths due to her education and mother's serious illness, and even the release of the fourth album. But the Myths did not give up on Andy. There are rumors that the gathering of ten thousand people was to make an agreement with the agency. It was for the integrity of the myths." Li Chong looked at Yuri and heard it a little fascinated, and he asked for another glass of juice.
"In fact, this is not the biggest crisis of myth. The biggest crisis of myth is that the six of them decided not to renew their contracts with ** Company. When they were at their peak, they chose another path and chose to break with ** Company. Although Li Xiuman let them go, the price they paid was incomparable. It was a large amount of funds and ** Company's ban on myth."
"No group has ever paid such a great price for the name of the group. At that time, Brother ERIC was the most popular in mythology, and he was first-class in singing, dancing, and creation. Many large economic companies offered sky-high contracts. Brother Minyu was even known as the "second-generation dance king" of **. He was good at writing lyrics, composing and choreography, and was also the target of major companies' masters. He did not consider breaking out of the myth and going solo."
"So myths have such an experience. Why have we never heard of it before? What is the price?" Yuri was a little fascinated. She had never heard of some things that others said. In ** Company, myths are a taboo.
"Haha, it is said that what is taken away is the name of "myth", everyone's stage name usage rights, song singing rights, and the official fan organization "myth creation", which cost about 2 billion won. The copyright of the song and the trademark of the myth were not sold to ERIC brothers." Lee Chong knew about this. The seventh album of Myth in 2004, "brandnew", was the MV filmed by Lee Chong. That year, Lee Chong competed with himself, one was the 7th album of Myth "brandnew" of Myth, and the other was Kim Jong Kook's second album "Evolution".
Li Chong continued to explain, "President Li Xiuman will not let people discuss this. This is a taboo in ** Company, and this is also a taboo in the Korean entertainment industry that not everyone can say. HOT, TBO, GOD, and Crystal Boys, some are more popular than myths, and some are fighting against myths all the time, but myths are still alive, and they all disappear. Why is this? Can you think about it?"
After hearing Li Chong's words, Yuri did think a little. The combinations Li Chong said were all top combinations in the Korean entertainment industry. Her influence at that time was no less than the current Oriental God Qi, and even more popular than Oriental God Qi. However, as time went by, they were all disbanded and solo, and solo. Only the myth combination has been active in the entertainment industry.
"Uncle, what do you mean is... they are a whole, a existence that prospers and loses together?" Yuri finally figured out the key.
"It seems that your brain has not been filled with worries yet." Li Chong smiled.
"It is because they regard the Myth group as more important than themselves, so they have lived until now and will even survive in the future. Even if they go to the announcement alone, they will say "Hello everyone, I am the Myth so-and-so" when introducing themselves. Instead of just introducing themselves, you may say that you are the same, but what group members can say this for ten years? Even Sister Hyori, who I am most familiar with, Xiaoguai and others don't say this now. They were competing with Myths back then."
"You only see now, and only see Taeyeon's popularity soaring, Yoona's popularity soars, so you are entangled, jealous, and troubled, but have you ever thought about it? Whether it is Taeyeon or Yoona, they are all part of Girls' Generation, and their popularity is also the increase in Girls' Generation's popularity. Every time Taeyeon hosts a radio program, he will introduce, "I am Taeyeon of Girls' Generation." Yoona, on the set, tells you some interesting stories about you every day. This is all to increase popularity for the Girls' Generation group." After Li Chong said that, he drank the juice and looked at Yuri who was already silent.
In fact, these things should not be discussed by Li Chong, but they should understand and feel them themselves. Li Chong felt a little emotional in his heart, "I have never experienced the storm! Otherwise, there would be no such troubles."
Yuri couldn't be suppressed by this story. She really never thought that myth had experienced so many hardships. She had also come into contact with the predecessors of myth. She was playing the song stage and in entertainment programs, and was very kind and willing to support her juniors.
Every time they go on stage, they will shout a slogan, "We are the Girls' Generation, now is the Girls' Generation, and then it is the Girls' Generation, and always is the Girls' Generation." It seems that Kwon Yuri has not implemented this slogan thoroughly!
Gradually, Kwon Yuri frowned and let out a long sigh, "Uncle, thank you very much, I understand!"
"What do you understand?" Li Chong asked curiously.
Sung Yuli said with a smile, "I understand that we are a whole. Even if the company's resources are all used on one person now, it is for our Girls' Generation. As long as that person does his best, we should support her and tolerate her."
When Li Chong heard this, he reached out to knock Yuri and said, "It's not that you don't fight for it. You just need to understand her. You still have to fight for what you should fight for. After all, the virtuous cycle is the best." After knocking, Li Chong rubbed Yuri's straight hair again. Li Chong always liked this hairstyle.
After Li Chong let go, Yuri stroked her hair and said, "Uncle, I'm hungry, please treat me to something delicious!"
Seeing that Yuri's mood improved, Li Chong felt particularly good, "You have the nerve to say, I came to eat ice cream with you before I even had a meal. I'll take you to eat Chinese food after I finished eating."
When Yuri heard this, she quickly finished the small amount of ice cream left in front of her, "Uncle, let's go, I'm really hungry!"
