Chapter 1262 Unpredictable world events
Neither Kim Yu-fan nor Jang Woo-hyuk seemed to have expected that the two would meet in China, in Huayi Brothers, or even Wang Zhonglei's office.
When Wang Zhonglei saw Kim Yu-hwan and Jang Woo-hyuk's appearance, he knew that both sides should know each other, but he didn't know why both sides were stunned and just kept looking at each other.
This also made Wang Junlei stunned for a moment. He thought that Kim Yu-hwan and Jang Woo-hyuk had conflicts in the Korean entertainment industry before. He couldn't help but stand up and smiled and said, "Come on, I'll introduce you to you. This is Kim Yu-hwan. I believe You know that this is Jang Woo-hyuk, you should know that according to your Korean speaking, you should be your senior."
"It's okay, Brother Zhonglei, Yu Hyuk knows me." From Wang Zhonglei's words, Kim Yu-fan knew that Wang Zhonglei had misunderstood. After reacting, he couldn't help but explain with a smile.
After explaining, Kim Yu-hwan turned around and looked at Jang Woo-hyuk, then suddenly laughed, walked towards Jang Woo-hyuk and stretched out his hands and said in Korean: "Brother, long time no see you."
"Haha, it's Yufan, it's been a long time since we've seen each other." Zhang Yuhyo-hyuk also reacted at this time. Looking at Kim Yufan who was walking over, he walked up to him with a smile and hugged Kim Yufan.
Although Zhang Youhe has come to China to develop, he doesn’t know much about Chinese because he has not been long. However, Zhang Youhe is also a veteran artist who has been in the industry for many years. From Kim Yu-fan’s tone just now and his subsequent reaction, he probably guessed what Wang Zhonglei misunderstood. He couldn’t help but smile and said to Wang Zhonglei: “Brother, you misunderstood. My relationship with Yu-fan is very good.”
Zhang Youhe spoke Korean, and Wang Zhonglei naturally couldn't understand it, but the translator around Zhang Youhe naturally translated Zhang Youhe's words and told Wang Zhonglei as soon as possible.
"Oh, so that's the case. Zhang Youhe, what's wrong with you, come here this time?" After hearing Zhang Youhe's words, Wang Zhonglei felt relieved. After all, he had just confirmed his cooperation with Kim Yu-fan. Wang Zhonglei didn't want any misunderstandings between the two sides because of Zhang Youhe.
Although it sounds a bit bad, Zhang Youhe is not Zhang Youhe in the HOT period after all. Even if he signs with Huayi Brothers, his status in Huayi Brothers is not as high as he imagined. At least in the mind of a big boss like Wang Zhonglei, he is a good but also dispensable artist.
Of course, compared to those Korean brokerage companies, especially those who are so cold-blooded and ruthless as S?M companies, China prefers to talk about feelings. As long as you don’t touch the bottom line, even if you don’t like you very much or value you very much, on the surface they say they give you a feeling of being very friendly, very enthusiastic and friendly.
Well~~~At least in terms of being a human being, Chinese brokerage companies are indeed better at being a human being than Korean brokerage companies. Perhaps it is to say that at least they will not be as cold-blooded and ruthless as Korean brokerage companies.
"Brother Zhonglei, we have almost done the general matter, and there is no disagreement between the two sides. Let's just do it for the time being." Speaking of this, Kim Yu-fan looked at Zhang You-he and couldn't help but sigh: "I didn't expect to meet Senior Zhang You-he here. I plan to talk to Senior Zhang You-he."
"OK, that's OK. Let's talk about the rest later." Wang Zhonglei nodded with a smile and said, "Then you can talk to Zhang Youhe first now."
Kim Yu-fan nodded, then turned to look at Zhang Youhe and asked, "Brother, are you doing something now? If you have nothing to do, let's talk. It's been several years, and it's a rare meeting this time."
"Haha, nothing is wrong. This time I came here mainly to target my next itinerary in China, but my agent will help me with this matter, and I really want to talk to you." Zhang Youhe did not refuse Kim Yu-fan's invitation, and nodded happily to agree.
Kim Yu-fan acted as a temporary translator. After chatting with Zhang Youhe and Wang Zhonglei for a few words, the two left the office under Zhang Youhe's assistant agent, walked out of Huayi Brothers and got into the car, and chose to sit down in a coffee shop not far from Huayi Brothers.
"Brother, how are you doing in China recently? Are you doing well?" Kim Yu-fan asked impatiently just after sitting down.
To be honest, Kim Yu-hwan is quite related to all the members of South Korea's top ten combinations, because when Kim Yu-hwan first debuted, he happened to catch up with the end of South Korea's top ten combinations. At that time, due to the wrong publicity of DSP, Kim Yu-hwan was made difficult by his predecessors almost everywhere he went. Only when he met the top ten combinations, he would not be made difficult. On the contrary, he would also receive encouragement and support from the other party.
It can even be said that in the first two years after Kim Yu-hwan debuted, he was the first and second generation in the Korean entertainment industry, that is, the only ones who have truly been recognized by Kim Yu-hwan were members of the top ten combinations in South Korea.
In short, Kim Yu-hwan and Jang Woo-hyuk are not familiar with each other, and they are not even very familiar with HOT, because at most everyone has only met on the TV station a few times and did not sit down and chat like a friend.
But in all, Zhang Youhe and HOT are also people of the same era. They have known each other for a long time. Some of them are not friends but similar to friends' friendships. They are the friendships of the same era and the sense of mutual identity.
However, as soon as he asked, Kim Yu-fan regretted it. What he asked was a bit low-level. If Jang Woo-hyuk had a good life, he would not have entered China completely. He stayed well in South Korea. Although he was not as good as China in all aspects, he was his own base camp and his home.
Complete advancement is two different concepts from the so-called full-strength marching. Complete advancement means blocking everything in the future. Full advancement is to keep the base stable while taking time to enter the markets of other countries.
For example, this is the case with Zhang Youhe. Although there are brokerage companies in South Korea and signed brokerage contracts with Huayi Brothers, Zhang Youhe has basically spent the past two years in China, and has carried out activities in China and rarely returned to South Korea. This also means that Zhang Youhe has completely entered the Chinese market and even gave up the Korean market.
Kim Yu-hwan's efforts to enter the Chinese market in the future are completely different from Zhang You-hyuk. Even if he enters China, he will not be able to give up the Korean base market.
If Zhang Youhe lives well, there is no need to give up the Korean base market and enter the Chinese market completely. Even if he enters the Chinese market, he is in a foreign country and is not familiar with all aspects. He must have suffered a lot. How could he be as good as his hometown?
What's more, in Kim Yu-fan's memory, although Zhang You-hyuk has been active in China, it seems that he has no great influence. It is difficult to see news about Zhang You-hyuk in normal times. This shows that his development in China is not as good as imagined.
Zhang Youhe was stunned for a moment, and didn't seem to expect Kim Yu-fan to ask this, but soon, Zhang Youhe also saw the awkward expression on Kim Yu-fan's face, and immediately understood what was going on. He couldn't help but laugh: "Haha, it's not bad. Although he can't understand the language, he is working hard to learn Chinese recently. To be honest, he is the same, but in general, China is stronger in all aspects than Korea, and the company is not as domineering and unreasonable as a Korean company, nor does it have anti-Tibe. In short, there is no too much pressure in China. I am doing pretty well, at least I personally think I enjoy it."
After saying that, Zhang Youhe also asked curiously: "By the way, Yufan, what are you doing when you come to China this time? Are you just discussing cooperation with President Wang Zhonglei?"
"Oh, two days ago, I participated in the recording of the Beijing special with the "RunningMan" program team. After the recording, I came to Huayi Brothers and prepared to cooperate with Huayi Brothers. At that time, the singers under MC will start to slowly enter the Chinese market."
""RunningMan"!" Zhang Youhe was stunned for a moment, and seemed to soon fall into memories: "Brother Shi and the others are fine now!"
Back then, Jang Woo Hyuk also appeared on "XMAN", and Yoo Jae-suk was also very caring for Jang Woo Hyuk, so when he heard "RunningMan", Jang Woo Hyuk couldn't help but think of Yoo Jae-suk.
"Haha, everything is good at Brother Shi. Now he is a national MC and holds several ace variety shows "RunningMan" and "Infinite Challenge". Now his career is developing very well, and Brother Shi himself is very happy and enjoys it every day. Well~~~~ It's a bit hard to record "RunningMan", and a little impatient when recording "Infinite Challenge".
Zhang Youhe couldn't help laughing: "Haha, that's right. "RunningMan" requires physical strength. Brother Shi is not young anymore, so it's hard to keep up. To be honest, I don't dare to go to the show "Infinite Challenge". It's too scammed. Although Brother Shi has a good temper, facing the "Infinite Challenge" program team, I guess no matter how good the temper is, I will have a temper."
After laughing for a while, Jang Woo-hyuk stopped again, looked at Kim Yu-fan sitting opposite him, and couldn't help but sigh: "Time flies so fast. I still remember the first time I saw you, it seemed to be on the stage of "Popular Songs" on SBS TV, right?"
After seeing Kim Yu-fan nodding with a smile, Zhang Youhe continued: "You were still a child at that time. Even because of the wrong promotional methods of the agency, you were troubled and criticized by all the predecessors. It was just that you were strong and able to withstand the pressure, and finally insisted on it. At that time, our HOT had not yet been disbanded. When you came to visit us, you were still calm and seemed to have nothing happened. But after you left, we said, "You are generous and able to withstand the pressure, and with good musical talent, you will definitely become a great person."
"But we all misread it at that time. You not only have a little musical talent, but also can withstand a little pressure, so you have finally made it through and started to rise and become out of control. The young and thin child back then has now become a real big shot in the Korean entertainment industry. With his own agency, he can even influence the entire Korean entertainment industry, which is even more influential than the S?M company back then. It's a pity that we are now..."
Then there is Fin.K.L. To be honest, the relationship between the four members of Fin.K.L is more complicated than imagined. Even Lee Hyo-ri doesn’t call a member when they get married, and even the members don’t have Lee Hyo-ri’s phone number. This is really incredible.
Compared to the fact that Jin EZ takes wedding photos on BabyV.O.X, all BabyV.O.X members rushed over to cheer, and they sang blessing songs together to get married, compared with the members of Fin.K.L seem to have too little love.
But the situation is different now. With the emergence of Kim Yu-hwan, Fin.K.L has been maintained and has not been disbanded. Now, the four Fin.K.L have become more mature and steady as they grow older, and they cherish their friendship more and more, so their relationship is very good.
Therefore, in the end, only HOT is left.
As the top ten first generation of South Korea, it is no exaggeration to say that it is the leading group. HOT is actually the group that people most look forward to reunion and return. However, as time goes by, although there have been rumors of HOT reunion and return, in fact, HOT has never had the intention of reunion and return at all.
What impressed Kim Yu-hwan the most was the episode of the Liuliu Song of "Infinite Challenge". When I was preparing to invite big-name singers from the 1990s, I naturally chose HOT. Kang Ta's reaction at that time made people feel a little confused.
When marrying Lee Hyo-ri, he was under great pressure. Although KangTa verbally hoped that HOT could be reorganized and returned, now everyone has their own work. In different brokerage companies, in order to protect fans' beautiful memories of HOT, the topic of HOT's reunion and return is a bit too heavy. He cannot represent the other people of HOT. He can only say that he personally wants it, but the possibility is not high.
What does this mean? You should know that even though Lee Hyo-ri, who was far away from Jeju Island, was not very enthusiastic, finally figured it out and participated in the test. If he couldn't do it, Yu Joo-hyun, who was responsible for the home court, tried it. Although Fin.K.L did not reunite due to some problems, at least Lee Hyo-ri and Yu Joo-hyun actively participated in the attempt.
In contrast, KangTa's attitude makes people confused and even fails to try. To put it bluntly, it seems that KangTa doesn't want HOT to reunite.
Of course, I just don’t know whether this is KangTa’s meaning or the S?M company behind KangTa.
